Zurich Ex -REEVE BAEIiER PASSES AWAY. -The Brussels Post of last week speak- ing of a former resident of this place, says:—Tuesday of thisweek, about 1 o'clock, the spirit Of our old and well- known townsman took its flight, the summons coming as three physicians were at his bedside intendiugto hold a consultation. His son, Alfred, had been conversing with him on business. until the doctors entered thegate and he was seated in a sitting posture so that his heart, where the trouble was, could be tested. Without a struggle he passed that bourne from whence no traveller returns at the age of 50 years, 2 months and 18 days. Deceased had been ill for the past nine weeks but it was hopedby the family and his many friends that his vigorous constitution and temperate habits,coupled with the attention he was receiving, would en- sure complete restoration to health, but in the prime of life he passed away. Ills birthplace was Sebringville, near dp afterwards removing g to Zurich, where his father had a tanning business. In 1871 or thereabouts, Mr. Baeker cane to Brussels and opened a harness shop but afterwardswent into the grocery business and. disposing of it seven or eight years ago, along with W. F.Vanstone, embarked in the grain, produce and hog business, doing a large trade, which has increased as the years have gone by. Deceased attend- ed ttended to the office work of the firm and could always be found at .his post up to the time of his illness. He was a Conservative in politics and a Metho- dist in religion. His wife,who was Miss Ligenpack, of Zinioh, to whom he was married on June 16, 1873, five sons and four daughters survive, the only break before Mr. Baeker's was the death of Harry, which took place five months ago. The subject of this no- tice satfor nine years at the Municipal Board as Councillor, and was elected Reeve in 1890. He was credited with being an economical, conscientious, main. He took an active interest in the. K.O.T.M., I.O.O.F., and L.O.L.. orders • of Brussels. Like a wise man i mess affairs carefully he had his bis attended to before the end cane but his removal will be regretted by many outside of his home circle.

Poweley, locomotive firernan, went in the Canadian branch of the corborun- dum works to get a drink of water this afternoon. He entered the works in the wain building after get- ting his drink. He passed out through the furnace room, where two men named Jae. Coppin and Jas. Hatt were busy attending to the furnaces. Powe - ley stopped to speak to Hatt, and in doing so he placed his hand on a wooden bracket shelf, on which sat the metallic vat holding the water rheostat. No sooner did he place his hand than the 2,250 volt current drew him up close and killed him instantly. Coppin grabbed hold of Poweley and was knocked out of the door. Hatt tried to shove him off, but was knock- ed against the wall. They grabed a wood -handled spade and pried him off. A doctor was telephoned for, and arrived within ten minutes, but life was extinct. The hand that came in contact with the, current was badly roasted on the finger tips and palm. The shelf on which the ntetit,lic vat stood was covered with an accumula- tion of carbide dust, which acted as a conductor for the high voltage cur- rent that passed through Poweley's body to the ground.
