Death 0 Mrs. Hooper,
It will be sad news to .many of our
readers to learn of the death of Mrs.
Susannah ,Hooper, relict of the late
John Hooper, a former resident of
HurOu street, who died at the resi;
deece of her son-in-law, Mr. Charles
Guenther, Dashwood, shortly after
six o'clock Sunday evening. • The de-
ceased was taken ill only one day pre-
vious from a stoppage of the bowels
and the nature of her case being ex
-
tremly serious soon put and end to
her sufferings, Mrs. Hooper moved
from here a Short time after her hus-
band's death, which was a little over
four years ago and has been a resident
in Stephen and Dashwood since. The
funeral took place yesterday (Wednes-
day) to the Exeter cemetery.
Death of John B. Penney.
There passed away at the residence
of Mr. Wm. H. Trott, on Saturday
last, John B. Penney, one of the early
settlers of Usborne township, and a
highly respected resident of Exeter.
Mr. Penney had been ailing for years
of palsy, but his case was not consid-
ered serious until about two weeks
previous to his death, when he was
taken worse, and. other complications
setting in soon put an end to his suf-
ferings. Deceased was born in Devon-
shire, England, in the year 1818, conse-
quently he was in his 82nd year. He
came to Canada in 1843 and in ,the;
year 1851 settled on the farm now own-
ed by Mr. Samuel Madge, being lot
18, concession, 6, Usborne. He was
married in 1859 to Miss Elizabeth
Quance and they lived together on
the farm until 1873 when he was bereft
of his partner in life and two years
later he retired from the farm.
Not laa,ving, any etildren or home for
some time he ha. no permanent place
of abode, but about five years ago he
took rip his residence with Mr. W. H.
Trott, the reason of which was that
he had always taken kindly to Mrs.
Trott, who had lived, with him and his
wife for years while yet on the farm,
and who so assiduously ministered to
his wants at the closing hours of his
existence. He was a man of unusual
strength and energ,yen his early days
and contributed more than the aver-
age share towards transforming the
unbroken forest into' well tilled ,fields.
Mr.Penney was a Methodist in religion
and a Reformer in politics and while
never manifesting any deep interest
in the latter he was always true to
that particular party. One sister sur-
vives him, who is now nearing 90 years
of age. The funeral took place Monday
to the Exeter cemetery, and among
those in attendance from a distance
we noticed the following, vizi-Mrs. D.
Ross, London; Mr. J. Walters, Goder-
ich; Mrs. J. H. Baker, Rochester, N.
Y., and Mr. Hy. Elliott, Port Hope.
- The following will comprise the The Junior Leaving xamina-

the new members Of the Staff we
might say that Mr. A. Mowae, B. A.,
has for the last seven years been Prin-
cipal of the Meaford High School,
which under his regime has risen to
be one of the most important High
Schools in the Province, the invari-
able success at the Departmental ex-
aminations having annually drawn a
large member of non resident, senior
pupils to his school. Mr. G. F, Rogers,
B. A., the new Science Master has lid
a most successful experience for the
past six years in the Orillia Collegiate
institute and at his graduation in 1892
he won the Prince of Wales Gold
Medal for general profieiecny and the
Silver Medal in Science.
Cold Blooded Murder.
The following, which appeared in the
dailies of Tuesday contains the harrow-
ing details of the cold-blooded murder
of Charles Lane, brother-in-law of Mr.
and Mrs. D. Dyer, of this place: -The
confession of Ferrell, who was arrest-
ed for the murder of Charles Lane, the
express messenger, disclosed a pre-
meditated and blood-curding crime,
that seemed almost impossible of be-
lief. He said that he had become des-
perate because of his inability to .se-
cure employment, and a realization of
the fact that he must have money to
defray the expenses of his approaching
marriage. The robbery h ad been care-
fully planned, and it included th,e mur-
der of Express Messenger Lane. He
had no accomplices and no confidents.
He knew Lane well. In fact, they were
friends, and he relied upon Lane s con-
fidence to help him execute the crime.
Having provided himself with a six-
shooter, 38 calibre, he went to Urbana
train.
Friday morning and waited for the
rain. When it arrived Terrell went
at once to the express car and told
Lane that he was out of money and
asked permission to ride to Columbus
with him. Lane consented, never for
a moment suspecting treachery. For
a short time after the train left Urbana
they chatted pleasantly. Lane sat in
a chair in one end of the car with his
back slightly turned. When Ferrell
had finally nerved himself for the
crime, he drew his revolver and step-
ped up behind Lane 'unobserved, and
red three shots in rapid succession
into the messenger's back. Lane rolled
off the chair on the floor on his face
and Ferrell quickly fired the remaining
shots at the prostrate body. Lane was
undonSOiMIS, but Ferrell, fearing that
the wounds already inflicted would not
cauee death, took Lane's revolver and
fired two more bullets from ie into the
body. Ferrell then took the key to
the safe from the pocket of the dead
messenger, opened the safe and put
Lane's revolver inside where he could
reach it easily in case he was detected
and needed it to defend himself. After
he had taken out all the sacks contain-
ing the nioneY Paeleages;inoneY orders
and waybills, he placed them in a small
satchel 'and waited until the car arriv-
ed at Plain City, when he slipped off
the train. It was at Plain Clity last
Saturday night that City Detectives
O'Neil and Dundon obtained the clue
that led to Ferrell's apprehension. At
the hotel they found the revolver Fer-
rell had secreted, find after learning of
the express package, telephoned to
Colurribus and had it intercepted. The
package was opened, and the stolen
seeks containing the money orders,
checks and other things which Fer-
rell desired to get rid of were found.
