Fatal Railway Accident

A sap acctpsnt, attended with fatal re- suits, occurred at Kensington on Saturday evening fast about half-past seven o clock. At that hour, as the accommodation tram iu charge of Conductor O'Connor was leaving the station, a painter named John Ramsay, belonging to Bedeque, but who has been working on the Methodist church at Kensington for some time past, under- took to get on board. In the act of so do- ing he slipped and fell between the station platform and the cars, and, while trying to lift himself up his arm came in contact with the car wheels. The arm was broken in two places—one break being above and one below the elbow—and the fleshy part of it was lacerated.

After the accident, Ramsay got up, and, with very little assistance, walked to the residence of Dr. McNeill. Dr. MeNeill telephoned to Summerside for Dr. McKay. They held a consultation, and decided not to amputate the arm. The bones were set and the arm dressed. At first the patient seem- ed to be doing well, but, after a time, he grew worse, suffering much pain. About midnight he died. :

An inquest was held, and the coroner's jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict that ** the deceased came to his death by injuries sustained in trying to board No. 5 evening train for Summerside while said train was in motion, and that no blame is attributed to the railway authori- ties for the accident.”

SESSION OF THE SOVEREMIN GRAND LODGE.

On Saturday last, Zlst inst., the sixty- fiith annual session of this influential organ- ization closed at Columbus, Ohio. The session was held in the House of represent- atives. Delegates from nearly all parts of the world were in attendance. The festiv- ities were carried on in a grand manner, perhaps the most imposing being that of the grand parade on the 18th, in which over sixty Cantons of Patriarchs Multant participated, while thousands of the mem- bers of subordinate lodges and encamp- ments, together with the military and civic authorities, made the display a most mag- nificent feature. We condense from the reports the standing of this noble order at the present time :—

Total number of Oddfellows on the globe January Ist, 1889, 1,341,279, fully one- quarter of a million more than that report- ed by the next largest civilized secret society.

During the year, the lodges in America alone paid vut for relief of members $2,253-, 020.06; increase over 1887, $133,562.91; relief extended by encampments, $226,- 444.21; increase $9,809.45; by Rebekah Lodges, $21,815.76; increase $4,171.85. Total paid out for relief, $2,501,820.23; an increase of $147,514.21.

Brothers relieved by subordinate lodges, 6,352, expending $1,640,513.18, for weekly benefits; $423,280.80 paid for burial of 6,413 brothers; 6,545 widowed families re- weived $191,380.00; 9,557 patriarchs receiv- ed from their encampments $180,080.08 for 63,559 weeks’ sickness, and 1,167 were buried at an expense of $36,091.04.

Since 1830 there have been 1,575,637 persons initiated; 1,393,946 members and 176,608 widowed families relieved and 136, - 334 members have died. The total relief extended during this time was $48,601,- 862.09. Surely this is a splendid showing.

PrOre New Drug Store,

Mr. A. 8. JoHNson, late of the Apothecar- ves Hall, has fitted up a new drug store on the corner ot Kent and Prince Streets. The fittings inside are of solid ash with antique oak tilling. It is heated by het water and lighted by electricity. Altogether the ar- rangements throughout are very complete. rhe stock is new and ot the best quality. Mr. Johnson is a graduate of the Philadel- phia College of Pharmaey, and was in the employ of the Apothecaries Hall company for about four years. He is well known koth in town and country, and we predict for him a successful career.

SEPTEMBER 23 1889.

AIL ERAMINER, - - - —

Just before the Imperial Parliament was prorogued, a most important announce- ment was made by Mr. Balfour regarding the future policy of the Government in the matter of Lrish education. ‘* Something,” he said, ** ought to be done to give a higher university education to Roman Catholics in Ireland.” He regretted that the Roman Catholic clergy had discouraged attendance at the Queen’s Colleges or at Trinity, which is now open to all denominations. ‘* But regrets are vain things and we must take facts as we find them ;” and the fact 1s, that in this matter the legitimate wants of the Roman Catholic population are net satistied. It has therefore beeome necessary to devise some scheme ‘‘ other than those which had at present been attempted” to do this. What renders this declaration all the more important, is that Mr. Chamber- lain states that it has been made with the assent of the entire Liberal Unionist party. lf Ireland is to be governed in any respect ou Irish ideas, there is certainly none which has a stronger claim than denomina- tional education. But there is no idea to which English Radicals are more vehement- ly opposed and it will be remembered that it was upon this rock that Mr. Gladstone's administration was wrecked in 1874. That this opposition has hot abated is shown by several speeches of the Radical members to their constituents, especially in those of Mr. Wallace and M. E. Robertson, who call attention from the real merits of the case by suggesting that it is merely a ministerial device for thrusting in a wedge between the Parnellites and their allies in Great Britain.

**

A Romana Catholic prelate recently oa his way from Rome, was interviewed by the Paris correspondent of the London Daily News, to whom he stated that the report that the Pepe was preparing to leave the Eternal City most certainly was not true. The Pope has more faith than to think that the Church can perish, and to run away woald be to doubt God’s pro- mises. ‘*It would, moreover,” continued the Bishop, ‘* be impolitic. Princes who flee from fear of revglution seldom come back, and when they do it is with faded glory. The Pope is not only Captain of St. Peter's barque, but custodian of the in- finite artistic wealth contained in «his palace, and of traditional forms, the preser- vation of which enables Catholics to under- stand the history of their church and its action on civilization.”

*_*

The ‘‘New Review” is what its name declares it to be, it is literally a New Mag- azine, and claims favor among the many other magazines which save so many people the trouble of thinking for themselves, now- adays. The second number, which recently appeared, contained a very interesting paper (anonymous) on **Talk and Talkers of To- day.” The following, whether correct or not, is at least a forcible description of Mr. Gladstone’s method: ‘‘No image, except that of a torrent, can convey the notion of Mr. Gladstone’s conversation—its rapidity, its yolume, its splash and dash, its frequent beauty, its striking effects, the amount of varied matter which it brings with it, the hopelessness of trying to resist it, the un- expectedness of its on-rush, the subdued but fertilized condition of the subjected area which it leaves behind. The bare mention of a topic in which Mr. Glad- stone is interested opens the flood-gates and submerges a province. But the tor- rent does not wait for invitation. If not invited it comes of itseif, headlong, over- whelming, sweeping all before it in a seeth- ing flood of reasoned and impassioned elo- quence, and gathering fresh thought and fury from every obstacle which it encoun- ters in its course.”

* & *

The study of men’s names is as curious as it is interesting. Arbitrary as they seem to-day, they all had their source evidently in some fitting fact. Many English sur- names express the county, estate, or resi- dence of their original bearers; as Bur- goyne, from Burgundy; Cornell or Corn- wallis, from Cornwall; Fleming from Flan- ders; Gaskin, and Gascoyne, from Gascony; Hanway, from Hainault; Polack, from Po- and; Welsh, Walsh and Wallis, from Wales; Coombs, Compton, Clayton, Sutton, Preston, Washington, from towns in the county of Sussex. Camden says every vil- lage in Normandy has surnamed some Eng- lish family, Dale, Forest, Hill, Wood, and the like, are derived from the character or situation of those who first bore the name. The prefix ‘‘ atte” or ‘‘ at” softened to ‘‘a” or ‘*an,” has helped to form a number of names. Thus, if a man lived on a moor, he would call himself Attemoor or Atmoor; if near a gate, Attegate or Agate. John atte the Oaks was in due time shortened to John Noaks; Peter at the Seven Oaks, into Peter Snooks. Byfield, Ryford, Un- derhill, and Underwood, indicated resid- ence originally, In old English, Apple- garth meant orchard, whence Applegate and Appleton. Chase, a forest; Clive, a cliff ; Clough, a ravine; Cobb, a harbor ; whence these names. The root of the ubiquitous Smith is the Anglo-Saxon ‘*smitan,” or smite. It was applied prim- arily to blacksmiths, wheelrights, carpen- ters, masons and smiters and strikers in general. Baker, Taylor, Butler, Coleman (coulman), Draper, Cowper (cooper), Cutler Miller, and the rest, plainly denoted occu- pations. Latimer is from latiner, a writer of Latin. Lorimer is a maker of spurs and bridle-bits; Arkwright, a maker of chests ; Lander, contracted from lavandier, a wash- woman; Banister, the keeper of a bath: Kidder, a huckster; Wait a minstrel: Crocker a _ potter. Such names as Baxter and Bagster are the feminine of Baker; Webster of webber or weaver; which shows that these trades were first followed by women, and that when men began to take them up they for some time kept the feminine names. Stew- ard, Stewart, Abbott, Knight, Lord, Bishop, Prior, Chamberlain, Falconer, Le- gette (legate), either signified what the per- sons were, or they were given them in jest or derision, like the names King, Prince and Pope. The termination ‘* ward” indicates a keeper, as Durward, door- keeper; Hayward, keeper of the town cattle; Woodward, forest keeper: Read, Reed, or Reid, is an old form of spelling red, and was bestowed, as White, Brown, and Black were, to denote the color worn or the complexion had. Hog- arth, from the Dutch, means generous, high-natured; Rush is subtle; Bowne, ready ; Bonner. kind, gracious ; Eldridge, wild, ghastly. Many Welsh names,natural- ized in English, are from traits, as More,

Ge | Dal, Mek | Veuginn, tle j Lane

slender ; Mole, bald ; Gough, red. Sur-/

names. now apparently meaningless are from old English and provincial dialects. Boock, for instance, signifies badger ; Talbot, mastiff ; Todd, fox ; Culver, pigeon; Henshaw, young heron ; Coke, cook.
