The shocking intelligence was re- ceived here on Monday morning trout Fort Wayne, ind., of an accident which caused the death of a ttell- known Exeter lady, and the husband, two sons and' daughter-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Lynbrook on Feb. 1st went to I''or•t Wayne to visit their sons, Wilber and Eddie, for a few days. On Sunday, the 9th, they all went for a drive in a two -horse car- riage, and meeting an automobile the team ran away, and, striking a tele- phone post, threw the occupants out with the result that Mrs. Lambrook was instantly killed, and the others were so severely injured that they had to be taken to the hospital. The hus- band and Wilber and wife were ren- dered unconscious and remained so for many hours afterward. On the news re*chin(; here the Odd - fellows, of which order Mr. L:tuibrook is a member, immediately telegraphed the lodge in that city to look after the injured brother, loaf Rev. D. W. Col- lins was sent that evening by Mr. Harry Larnbrook, the father, to Fort %Vayne to tender every assistance possible tottbe injured. The late Mrs. Lynbrook was 50 years of age. Her maiden name was Emma Fanson, and she was a daugh- ter of Mr. Robert Fanson, who resides with them on Gidley street. Two sis- ters survive, Mrs. John Dinney of 'Oshawa and Miss Mauretta of town, and one brother, Wilbur of Manitoba; and besides the two sons who were in- jured in the accident one daughter survives, Miss Loretta, who has been ill at home since the parents went on the visit. Besides these and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lambrook many other relatives are today mourning the loss of one who was beloved by all. The sincere -';sympathy is expressed on all hands for the bereaved. Later word received on Tuesday states that the injured ones are recov- ering nicely, and.that Rev. Mr. Collins would return Wednesday evening, bat whether the body would accompany him is not known at the time of writ- it,g. Second Storm Wors e Than The First, After being cut off from the outside world for. hree days (except by wire) the L. H. & B. was cleared for traffic on Friday night last. On Tuesday evening a heavy wind and snow storm commenced and lastsd until Friday afternoon. The Wednesday morning southbound train passed through Exe- ter but stuck fast south of Clande- boye, while the north bound did not get through until late that, night and got snowed -in at Londesbpro. These were the last trains that passed through town until Friday night. The tie-up seethed to be general in Ontario, and the work of relieving the stalled trains had to be attended to on all the lines, consequently the work could not proceed as rapidly as would have been the case were the storm only local. The plow driven by two Mogul engines left Winghain Friday at 1 p. in. and arrived here at 8, fol- lowed by the train shortly after. The two reached London about 10 o'clock and the north hound came up about midnight. Not only were the railway tracks blocked hut, the highways in the coun- try were so filled that the few farmers who came to town walked in. Gangs of men however on Saturday and Mon• day succeeded in slaking the roads passable. The high hanks along the track and road are such however that more or Tess difficulty may be expected for a month as every snow storm will fill in the paths. ADDITIONAL LOCAL$ Mrs. J. C. Snell of Osborne received word from Clinton Wednesday of the death of her grandfather, Mr. Swann, who died of paralysis. Hensall and Exeter hockey teams play a game here this Wednesday ev- ening at $ o'clock. Everybody should see the game. Skating after the game.

Erie, fourth eon of Mr. N. Dyer Hur- don, seems to have a run of ill luck. Coming home from school lest week he fell on the ice while sliding and ser- iously injured his right cheek and eye. Being kept home from echgol be went to the furnace to melt eotne lead when by some means it exploded and now he is in bed with darkened eyes and a narrow escape from being totally blinded. The doctor could not say how badly his right.eye is hurt this morning.

The congregation of James Street Methodist Church will, we feel sure, he pleased that the officials of the church have extended an invitation to the pastor, Rev. A. H.
