' Mr. Canning is survived by two sisters—Miss Matilda Calming resid- ing with a married sister in !Duluth. lIt is understood from word receiv- ed by'Tri • that ends here hat Mr, and Mr. Canning were first awakened by neighbors and both went back to arouse her brother, Mr. Frank 'Evans, who is a little hard oaf hearing, .Some- thing dropped across the door, cut- ting off escape for Mrs. Canning tem- porarily, thus causing severe burns and suffocation which resulted in their deaths. It is also understood that' bit. Frank Evans is making satisfactory recov- ery, 'his injuries not being as serious as at first feared. A •niece, Mrs. Owen !Flynn, is at present in Toronto with Mr, Evans. The 'following is from The Toronto Star of Friday, March 2nd: :One woman was burned to death and two men were critically injured when first destroyed a frame groc- ery store and adjoining dwelling at Queen street and Kipling avenue, Al derwood, early to -day. Trapped in the blazing structure at the rear of bhe store where they were .sleeping, Mrs. Joseph Canning was overcome by dense smoke and .burned to death, Mr. Canning was rescued. through .the 'bedroom wind•oiw by neighbors and IFranrk Evans received severe burns. Two men were able to take the wo- maan Ivo the home of neighbors but she was pronounced dead by Dr. !Warren !Snyder. !Officials at St. oseplh'•s hospital, Where Flank 'Evans and j'oseph Can- ning were admitted, • expressed very little hope for the recovery of either man. !Evans is suffering from abdominal injuries sustained in his 'jump from the second floor. ,Canning is the most seriously injur- ed, with 'severe !bums on. the lower part of the body, (Both men when admitted to the hospital were unconscious, Evans lat- er regained consciousness. The only statement the attending nurses were able to understand was his repeated mutterings, "'I jumped from the se- cond floor, I'm all burned:" A few minaites later he again lapsed' into un- consciousness, "We got the call about 6!20 this mo'rn'ing," Wm, O'Connor, Alderwood fire trustee, said. "When we arrived' the woman wain lying .otrtsicle and the whole place was in flames. The entire building was pitted I don't know how the fire started." -"There was no chance in ,the world to save the 'building when ' we got there, The little store .and the dwell - Ing in the rear were a mass of ilatues.

II don't !know who did it." iS'mothered by dense clouds of smoke as they slept in the second (floor of a two-storey frame dwelling at the rear of the store, the occupants had little chance to save themselves as the flames swept through the bu !ding. The building was a mass of flame:: when firemen from 'Alderwood arriv- ed.'Flanres were shooting through the root and both store and dwelling were destroyed. All threeoccupants were out of ,the building when firemen ar- rived, Neighbors were aiding the in- jured, "Mrs. Canning was dead when I gat there," Coroner Dr. Snyder told The Star.

Canning, and he was rushed to ,the hospital, Mr, Evans was severe- ly burned about the hands," 'Dr, Snyder stated' that he had not decided whether an inquest would be held. "I saw Mr. (Canning drag himself out of the building and along the ground and ibehincl the tree," Victor Snow told The Star. The burned woman was carried to the home of Joseph Shatter by Oharles and James Steel, school boys, "I was awakened when the Steel boys brought Mrs. (Canning to my house," said Mrs. Shunter, nearest neighbor of the Cannings. "They brought !Mrs. Canning in all wrapped tap, but I cannot tel whether She was alive. Mr, Canning and Mr. Evans al- so came in, but they were unable to 'give .a coherent account of what had !happened, All they were able to save were three suitcases."
