DEATH OF FATHER AND SON.-
A double bereavement fell upon the
home of Alexander C. McPhail this
week. On Monday last s telegram was
received announcing the death of his
eldest son, Charles, in Boston. Mr.
McPhail'waB, at the time, so ill that
it was thought best to withhold from
him the news of his s0n's death. The
fatllelf ilhased away on ‘Christmas
morning. A remarkable incident con-
nected v.‘ith.his 'death wtas the fact
that, although not informed of his
s0n’s death. he told one of those wat-
ching bv his bedside, shortly- before
Passing HWHY. “Charlie is dead." The
elder Mr. McPhai1 was in his 86th
Year and is survived by his widow
and a’ large family of sons and dau-
ghters, two of the sons, James and
Goodwill residing at home. He was
an exemplary Christian, a kind and
devoted husband and father and a
man whose honesty and uprightness,
kindness and courtesy, made him a
favorite with all who knew him. His
son, Charles, above referred to, was 44
years of age and leaves an only dau-
ghter, Margaret, his wife having pre-
deceased him by some twelve years.
To the aged- widow and mother so
sadly bereaved of husband and scn,
and to the other bereaved relatives

talk, Gregory?" the News asked.
“We11_" replied Gregory, “Manager
Isnor of the Socials called me up and
said he would guarantee me $150 a
game when New Glasgow went to
Halifax. “I then asked him what he
would do for Moncton, and he re`-
plied ‘I would not give Moncton their
feed,’ and related that he could have
a nice league without Moncton. I
told Mr. Isnor that I would not con-
sider his Droposal for a moment.,
even if he were to pay me $1,000 a
game. I also told him that I would
stay in .thei league with Mfoncton. I
thcn called up Moncton and told Mr.
Taylor confidentially my conversa-
tion with Manager Isnor, but I had
no idea that it would get in the pa-
pers. I at once wired to Mr. Lith-
gow, stating that I was prepared to
back up my statement. I also wired
Mr. Isnor to the effect that if he did
not want the facts of the case made
public he had better sea Mr- Lil-ll'
gow. If be wants the investigation,
I'm ready to back up what I have
said. It’s I-lalifax’s move next.‘As
for New Glasgow's team in the lea-
gue, little can be learned. It is un-
derstood that Stoke Doran wired to-
day that he would accept the offer
made him. and will bring along a
fast man with him. The other namee
mentioned as a personnel for the
