The home of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-l

12am MacCallum of Cavendish was saddened on Sunday morning by a shocking tragedy which took the life

of theinlittle son, Stavert, onlyiflii- catches are poorer than those

eight years old.

The little lad had gone over to the farm of Mr. Alfred Moore on Sut- urday afternoon where the men were threshing grain. Stavert was playing in the‘ loft of the barn and in at- tempting to come down the ladder he slipped and fell into the feeding table of the machine, his leg being caught by the cylinder and torn on at the knee. The machine was stop- ped at once and everything wits done l‘! the workmento relieve the little sufferer.

The doctors opinion was Wit he died from shock no well as from the injury ll his suffering was intense until he lapsed into uncon- sciousnelefllhe accident has cast a gloom over the whole neighborhood es tbs little boy was a bright and affectionate child end a general fev- orito.

Mr. Rodd is beck at work Ind Mr. MoCuspie went away rem-oily .

..'DIA'I‘I BIIIITTID — The sudden death in the Charlottetown Hospital cf Miss McIntyre, so soon after the death of her father, a month ago. is very eaddaiing. Miss McIntyre was the sole heir to her father's fine property, etc. She had been sick only a dey or two when she eats-ed the hospital. Her re- mains were brought to her home at St. Colismba by train for burial at her parish church cemetery. She leaves no mothers or sisters. There is an uncle, Jeinee McIntyre, residing at the Fisherman's Home, Snug Har- borflnong Island, N.Y., and e nep- new, Mr. Angus D. McConnack, end his mother, (her aunt), residing at Neufrege. .

' That-Daniel Cronin, who dismp. peered mysteriously on the evening of Janu y 18 lost, perished from exposure in the snow or fell into the harbor is the theory held by the police. “We conducted an exhaustive search but found no trace of the man, whatever," Chief of Police Birtwistle states.

Cronin was lest seen about 6 o'- cloit on Povmsl end Queen Streets on the evening of his disappearance. His people, who live on Sydney street, have had no information concerning him since that time. Cronin was a handy mI-n. a 800d painter and car- penter, and was employed at various odd jobs.

Police stete that there is nothing to indicate that the man has been the victim o.‘ foul play.

A great improvement is noticeablel in the quality of the fresh, smoked, pickled, and wet fish caught and prepared in this Province, Mr. Fisher states.

"For some time this improvement has been confined to the eastern sec- tion of the Island, but fishennen and dealers are finding that it pays to’ put on the market a first class art- icle.

A severe blizzard held the Island in its grip from early yesterday af- ternoon till late in the afternoon, when it abruptly terminated. A large quantity of snow fell during the day, making travel on the roads imposs- ible, and holding up practically all traf-fic in the City.
