Verdict of Coroner's Jury for Death
of Golspie Sailor.
A despatch trnrn Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.,
says : "\\'e find that Sydney Neal came
to Ills death from frost, caused by expo-
sure. This exposure was due directly to
(:apt. Boult, who drove the said Sydney
Neal from shelter when do might have
protected him. \\'e also think that Mate
McLeod should bo severely censured for
not sending prompt assistance on his
arrival at the mission."
Such was the verdict given on Wed-
nesday night by the coroner's jury on the
death of Sydney Neal, one of the sailors
of the steamer Golspie, which was
wrecked early in December at Brute
Harbor, and who died at the "Soo" hos-
pital from the effects of the subsequent
hardships which he, with several others,
underwent.
Captains Joseph Gantry and W. C.
Burr, of the "Soo" and William Kimball
and Joseph Andrews, of Michipicoten,
Weise examined. The captains gave evi-
dence regarding the negotiation that
had been carried on between them and
the MacKnys for the sending of relief to
the Golspie after the wreck. '1 hey etre

MAD RUSH FOR FOOD.
The Awful Condition of FanlinteStrick-
en Chinese.
Washington, Jan. 30. -Further seri-
ous consequences are expected in the
Chinese famine districts unless immedi-
ate aid is forthcoming, according to
State Department advices. Outbreaks
are of daily occurrence, and an epidemic
it, feared by relief workers. Great
concentration camps have been formed
in the south of China, where thousands
of refugees live under awful conditions.
Estimates have Leen made that 11 will
cost 820,000 daily to teed the 4,000,000
persons who are starving. A story is
told of ono family -the mother, father
and two children. The mother left
home on a search for food, and the fa-
ther, despairing of aid, threw bolts
children into the river. The mother re•
turned, and, learning what had hap-
pened, drowned herself. The gri. f-
rlricken father followed. The Govern-
ment is selling grain and salt, where it
can. In Hsu Chou Fu in December
three or four women wero crushed to
death In the mad rush for food. The
price of vegetables has doubled, and
coal and coke cost more than ever be -
tura.
MrGF.E'S MANY VICTIMS.
Colin Campbell, the Florist, Compelled
to Assign.
A despatch from Montreal says: The
Attorney -General of the Province has
Leen asked to intervene in the cnso of
William J. McGee of the People's Mutual
Building Society, and see that a strid
and far-reaching investigation takes
place. Tho new features in the case
are these: McGee will not be sentenced
op the mere plea of guilty of theft.
Every dotoll of this remarkable series of
crimes will be Investigated by the kt-
torney-General's representative. l'roh-
nbly a score of warrants will be issued
ngalnst McGee. Four men alone ere
known to have lost 315,000 each. Colin
Campbell, the florist, will lose $16.4100,
and as a result of the losses has been
compelled to assign. Twenty other men
will lose about 84,000 each. Two lime
dud people will lose sums ranging
from 8161) to 81,500. McGee docs not
even know, in ninny cos•'s, which sig-
natures ore forgeries and which are
genuine. it is believed that his losses
will total a quarter of n million dollars.
The investigation shows Mtge only a
small part of the money has been spent.
The question now is, Where is the
money? .

all our royal visitors was Peter the
Great of {tussle, who spent some months
in England about two centuries ago.
Never. surely, was iI►ere a monarch
quite so nnconventionnl as this "Czar of
Muscovy'," of whom Evelyn tells us.
At Snyes Court, where a residence ons
found for him near the dock -yards. he
led the most unrnyal of lives. "Ile
dines at 10 o'clocic and 6 n1 night,'
Evelyn records, "is very seldom at home
n•whole day, very often 1n the Ku.e's
yard, or by water, dressed in ac)eral
dresses."

wheelbarrow in the greends of Soyes
Court; he spent couch of Isis lime work-

Thames in a dock -yard boot. and when
the days work wag done he and his
cronies used to resort to a public Melee
in Great Tower Street to smoke their
pipes and drink their beer and brandy.
