She was born at Tarantum, a daughter of the late Hugh and Ellen Cummiskey. In the your 1878 she became the wife of James P. Trainor. They were only- znarried fourteen years, however, when God i nthe inscrutable de- signs of His Divine Providence, or perhaps, to demonstrate how frail our hold is on life, called her hus- bund to his eternal home. From the death of her husband, uniii her own, she worked with un- ilring zeal and courage for the wei- fure and happiness of her family, zlud even until death stills-d her ac- ‘NYC brain. she was always ready to git: her wise advice and words of encouragement. She was a faithful king, loving mother. By her death she has left a. vacancy in the home which none but a mother can fill. Not only will she be missed by the family, but also by her wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Her lib- orniity and charitabieness gained for 1m- an enduring and enviable name us a neighbor. During her illness, she was frequently visited by her llnstor, Rev. Dr. Crcken, who ad- ministered to her the last Sacra- ment of the Catholic Church and her suffering also being alleviated by the attention of her family and kind 1111151118 0i Mrs. Rose Bradley, who was with her during her illness un- ‘til the end.

A—Yes. Q—-Whst position do you hold there? A-Captaln Deny. Q-Is there a certain piece equipment allotted to you? A-I have three pieces under my charge. Q-What would they be? A-Purnper, Chemical and Hose Truck, and a Hose 'I‘ruck. Q~You were in Charlottetown on the night of December 14th? A—I was. Q-You remember that night? A-Yes, quite clearly. Q-Now where were you at eight o'clock? '. _A—Weli, I arrived up at the Oddfeilow’s Hail about five minu- ies, after eight. I would be on my way there. Q—You were at the Oddfeilow’s Hall at about eight o'clock? A-Yes. Q-Was there any call for assist- ance to the Charlottetown Fire Department in connection with the Folconwood Fire? A-The first call fire station about 8.28. Q-Was there any call, was the Charlottetown Department asked to help at the fire at Faiconwood, were they asked to help? A-Yes. , Q-(Mr. Beer) You were at the Oddfeilow’s Hall when you first heard of the fire? . ‘ A-Yes, there was a call came for mo there. a Q-There was a telephone call sent in for you? A-Yes. Q-And you then went to the fire station? ' , A-Direct. Q-Would you mind just telling what happened so far as your ob- servations showed, what took place and where you went? A—Soon as I got the call Iwent direct to the fire station. We have to wait orders from tho Fire Chief as to what equipment leaves the city when the fire is out of town. While waiting for YE-hecked up the tide table and found it would be dead out at ten past eight. We also knew the condition of the wharf. I personally saw it to this summer, and knew it was ashed away from pobabiy 15 feet of the shore and we couldn't take the machinery down there. Q-It would not be much good if you did'when the tide was low? A-Uniess there was water} right in. We were ordered to proceed with the ladder and hose truck and the chemical and hose truck. That was my equipment. I drove tho chemical and hose truck my- self. It was pretty slow driving with a heavy machine. We could not make much more than 15 miles an hour. There was heavy snow and it was hailing very hea- vy and we had to stop about eve- ry half mile to clear the vision. There is no windshield. We even- tually arrived but the big truck arrived first. Q-Havo you any idea what time you arrived? A-I couldn't give the exact. time, but it would be 11 o'clock any- way probably a little after. On my arrival tho condition of the flrc at that time-it had advanced to such an extent that to my Judg- ment it was impossible to get with- in reach of the blaze with chemi- cola. Q-Chemicals in that case would be useless? - A-Absoiutely. I went immedia- tely to the first floor and inquir- ed within the building. I don't know the doctor personally. That was the first time I saw him. first I inquired if the patients had been removed and he said they had been taken into the wo- men's ward. I asked him if there was any one trying to fight the fire and he said there were men on tho third floor. Some .of my men and I went to the third floor up the passage way. Tho fire was than completely thro’ the attic of tho west wing. Q-That is right to the east end of the west wing? , A-Yos.

I don't know the size. third floor as far as we thought it safe toward the end of the bulld- ing. The fire-we entered from the main building and went to- wards the western end. We pro- bably went half way thro’ that hallway before the fire was com- ing thro’ the ceiling. At the same time the fire was over our heads and we could see it thro’ the pipe holes in thc ceiling. We checked all the rooms on that floor and shut the doors. We then went down to the office floor again and inquired from the Fire Chief if he had any instructions or orders to give us. He told us to stand by and passist in any way we saw fit in salvage and helping take patients from the building to the iniirmary when it was decided to remove them. The men also went thro’ the second floor of the men's ward and the ground floor. I believe an at- tendant was with them showing them thro', checking the rooms and closing the doors and making sure no one was there. Q—And closing doors to stop the draft? A—Yes, to make it slower. When the fire on the third floor advan- ced. to the passageway I had the men close the fire door as tight as we could close it‘ from outside. There were no handles on our side and we couldn't get it closed to within an inch of the other wall. The same was done on the second floor to my knowledge. Q-Even that did not stop fire? N A—No. The fire came in over the top of the roof and around the cracks of the door and over the top of the door and fell down on the side of the door where we were. Before the fire showed on the third floor where we were standing it advanced into the main office building. Q-The administration build- ing? A-Yes, thro’ the roof. Q-Jrhen the fire was over your heads while you were in the pas- sageway? A-Yes. back of the doors. Q~Had you removed the tients by this time? A--'I'he patients had been remo- ved before that from that build- ing. I understand they were re- moved to the-women's ward first and then escorted by firemen and attendants and citizens to the in- firmary building. the P3‘ Q-The big pumper is under youfcharge? A-Yes. Q-Jt was out to the fire? A-Early’ the following morning. Q-This would be some time la- ter than that? lL-Considcrabiy. This would be before 11 o'clock. Q—'I‘hcre w:-is no use iu taking it out till the tide came in? A-Absolutely none. Q-Wero you with the when it went out? A—I was there when it arrived. pumpor your company? u A-Yes. . Q-On whose instructions did he take it out? A-Well both the fire chief and myself were at Folconwood when tho machine arrived. That was the first intimation we had that it was coming. As tolwho ordered it out. it is only hearsay on my part. It arrived after 1 a. m.

Of course it saved this building that was portly constructed at the back, which might possibly have been burned. It was to the rear of the administration building. It was possibly the, means of saving that building. , Q-And the laundry? A-I really could not see that it was in danger. There were no sparks failing on it. They were all going the other way. Of course advantage in the Chief I believe had a conversa- tion with some members of the go- vemment and he gave me instruc- tions to get the pumper on the wharf as far as possible and lay a hose to the rear of the building to save the cold storage bui1ding—- the building under construction. foot of the stairs myself. Q-What about the water in any section of the building? A—We tried it in the women's wing and there was none. Q—At what receptacle? A—At the hose valve. That was later again in the evening. Q-What time would that be? A—That would be when the fire was in the administration building and advancing towards the wo- men's wing. I would Judge around 12 o'clock. We sent our machines back to the city about a quarter to twelve and it was Just before that, and there was no water. Q—Were you there when they were looking for the engineer? A-Yes. I heard the Fire Chie. inquire on different occasions for the engineer. Q—-Were you looking for him yourself? A—No. not personally. I had been asked by the Chief if I had seen him or knew anyone that had seen him. Q-Under the gravity tank there is a little bit of a building. Did you see that?‘ A-The next day. Q—You did not see it that night? A—No. Q—You were not in it? A—No. ' , Q-How big a building would that be? Big enough for s. man t0 get in and stay there for a while? A-Yes.

I was there at the lire when the tower was struck by lightning a few years ago. I was aware to some extent 0i’ the fire fighting: facilities, but I was kind of at a loss to under- stand why there was no outside fire protection, it was all on the inside. Q-Do you know if the tank-- the big tank-was full or empty? A—I really could not say. It might have been shut off from the building. I made no observat- ion to see if there was anything in the tank. Q-There was no water ill the building, that is, in the ' water" system on the third floor? A-I didn't try it on thc ground floor or the basement. Q-When you went there first was there any evidence of water being used? A-Thcre was none whatever. Of course, where the fire originat- ed was completely destroyed on in the coal pile in the cellar. This was the following moraine. We BY‘ rived out that night with 150 feet of small hoskchemical hose off the ladder truck and we had the necessary adaptors to connect it on the tank. Q-That would be about 1 1-2 inch? A—No. it would not be very little over 1-2 inch inside dimens- ions in diameter. There was a very small outlet about 3-16 at the tip,no larger than a garden hose. At that time the house under the tower was large enough for two men to go into and connect the hose on the tank. Q-Did you see that house at all the night of the fire? A—I did not take any particu- lur notice of it. Q-Did you attempt or search about to find whether you could connect your own hose with the tank? A—No. I didn't. Q-Was there any report l! t0 whether it had been done? A-Not that I am aware of. Q-—With your knowledge of con- ditions as they existed in and around that tank next day would it have been possible to make any connection with the tank?
