on Dec. 31, of Mr. Edmund Perry are given in the, following despatch from Shedlac:

Edmund Perry. cred ll? wd im- mgri-ied, son of Joseph Perry. of Alberton. PEI, was‘ drowned at noon today in Shediac Bay about one mile and a half north of Shed-

> i“ wharf. and two others, Maurice penygnd James‘ McWheeney, first

cousins o1 the ‘eocased. both of Al"

berton, were saved by the hercflm of Wilfred Petitlilos. and Fred Gal- lant and Harold Petltpus, Pt. du Cherie, Edward Pellerln and Dom- miqua‘ JFougei-e, both of Bhediac. All are, smelt fishermen. The Alberton trio have come to Point du Cherie each year to fLsh smells. The Al- berton fisherman left Point du Chene shortly before noon to at- tend nets which had been set near Little Shediao Island and about I.

mile from the Shediac Cape shore Suddenly all three went through the

rapidly softening ice, during a itrearriing incoming tide, into five feet of water. At the time nobody was nearer than three quarters of a mile. Edmund Perry went to the bottom and the others managed to hold on to the thin ice and called for aid. '

The first fisher-man to reach the scene was Gallant. He called for ofliFrs. Wilfred Petitpas ran over the ice s. half mile distant to get a rope at a net. The rope was thrown and for a time all three men in the water had a hold o! the rope which broke twice. After repeated attempts thd Gallant rescuers in danger of their own lives by winding the cord about their bodies, hauled McWhee- hey and Maurice Perry to safety. Maurice Perry was able to wind part of rope about one hand. When Wilfred Petitpas pushed '8 hand sled toward him, he hooked an arm

s» under the sled runner and was

hauled to safety. The others pulled MeWheoney to firm ice. At one time Edmund Perry had the rope Wrfllllled about an arm but the cord broke just as the unfortunate man was about to be dragged to safety.

The body w... recovered by Har- old Petitpas and Edward Pellerin by means oi’ a boat which they pro- cured at Shediac Cape. The body was brought to lighthouse tender Joseph Goguerrs home at the Shed- lac town shore where Dr. Alphonse Sormany pronounced life extinct. The rescued men were brought to Wilfred Petitpas’ home and reviv- ed by Dr. D. R. MacDonald. They were able to be about town later. Great credit is accorded to the gal-

lives.

Noted Statesman ’s Career Recalled In Deatl_i_9_f Miss Pope ,

The death on Sunday in Char- lottetown of Miss Florence Pope is a remlnde to many older people in this Province of the stirring events leading up to Confederation, in, which Miss Pope's father, the late Hon. Joseph C. Pope, took a lead- ing part. Other members of thd family who predeceased Miss Po were her sister, Miss Lucy, wh died in England; her brothers Mr. Percy Pope, who for many years held the position of Assistant Re- ceiver General at Charlotteto and Mr. George, Pope, formerly o the Finance Department, Ottawa, and latterly a member of ilie Pro,- vincinl Legislature under the Bell Government. Nllr. “Colledge Pope, another brother, removed to Re- gina in the early days of the North- west development, accumulated a substantial fortune in real estate and subsequently moved to Calif- ornla.

With Miss Pope's grandfatherz, the Hon. Joseph Pope, originated ‘ the proposal of erecting the pres- ‘ ent Provincial Building, He was al- so instrumental in bringing in the Road Compensation Act and unit- ed with Colcs and Whelan in their struggle to obtain responsible gov- ernment and in furthering the pas- sage of the "Free Education Act." Under responsible government Hon. Mr. Pope held a seat in the gov- ernment of Coles and Whelan. Subsequently he filled the positions of Provincial Treasurer and Do- minion Auditor. The latter office he held until 1883, when, owing to the burden of advancing years, he applied for superannuation. He died at Charlottetown on Scpl. 3, 1895.

Hon. Joseph C. Pope

The following sketch of the car- eer of the late Miss Pope's father is from "Past and Present in Prince l Edward lslandz"

James Collcdge Pope_ second son of the Hon. Joseph Pope, was born at Bedequc on June 11, 1826. When he reached the age of fourteen his, father sent him home to Plymouth‘ to attend school, and on his re-. turn gave him n place in his busi-l ness at Bcclequc. When the Calif-l omla gold fever broke out in 1840! he became affected and joined the} party of adventurers who embark-i ed for that place on the brig, “Fanny? Shortly uftur his arrivali

narrowly escaped witli his life. He returned home to recuperate and again engaged lll the shipping business, at first in association with lllS father, later on his own ac- count. He first established himself i at Green's Shore, the site of the I present town of Summcrslde, of which lie was the pioneer founder. In 1857 hc entered political life, being elected for the Bcdcque dis- trict, defeating the Hon. W. W. Commissioner of Public Lands in the Colcs administration. He was again returned at the two general elections of 1858. and 1859, and upon the change of govern- merit accepted a seat in the Execu- tive Council under the leadership of tile Hon. Edward Palmer, A‘. the next general election in 1863 he was rc-elecied and continued a mem-

(inter Senator) Carvell was one of the most active, he successfully strove to enlist public simpathy.

He re- signed and Mr. liaythorne became leader of the lll“.\’ government. Ow- ing t0 the fact that in order to secure a passage of the bill it had been necessary o; provide not merely for the construction of the line from Albcrton to Georgetown. but also for branches to ‘Iignish and Sourls, the Colony soon be- came involved in financial diffi- culties for which Confederation seemed 1o offer the only remedy. In April of that year (1872), Mrf l-laytlioruc, having obtained iorlnu from the Dominion Government, submitted these to the people. Mr. Pope opposed their acceptance on the ground that they ivcrc inade- quate, and came back from the polls with a following Sdfl irzit to defeat the Government. He was again culled upon to fomr an ad- ministration. With Messrs. Hovil- and and Howlan as co-delegritcs lie visited Ottawa, obtained what were known as the “Better Terms," and having moved their adoption in the House of Commons. succeeded in carrying them, Under authority of this not the union was consummat- ed July l, 1373.

At the election for representatives to the Federal House of Commons, lield a few weeks later, Mr. Pope was roiurncd for Prince County and loyally supported Sir John A. Macdonzild during the historic ses- sion when the latter had to face the odium cast upon him by the Pacific scandal. In 1875, under strong pressure, he was induced to again enter the provincial legisla- ture. At that time the question of
