Dead Man Turned Up Alive— "Appari- tion" Appears Among Mourners A despatch from Hamilton says; Perhaps the most extraordinaisy in- cident in otsnnecti,o•n with the dis- aster recorded on. the Great Lakes occurred here on Wednesday even- ings One of 'the supposed victims Of. the marine.; tragedy was John hompson, 442 John Street north this city.. On Monday last week telegram was received by. Mr. Thompson from his daughter, Mrs. Mary,. Ward, of Sarnia, to the eta fect that his son John had gone down on the Jaanes Carruthers. Learning that the bodies of a num- ber of the crew of the ill-fated steamship had been cast ashore at Kettle Point, near Godeldeh, Mr. Thomas Thompson hastened there on Monday evening to see if he could identify the remains of his son. He arrived at Goderich at midnight; and after a nerve-wrack- ing drive he reached the place on the lake shore where the bodies had teen cal'•eEu'lly and tenderly laid sway for the purpose of idontifica-' tion. Among the number was that of a young main which eonresponded so closely to that of John Thomp- son that the bereaved father ac- knowledged it as that of his son The only difference Mr. Thompson saw was in the color of the hair, he being of -t.he opinion that his son's hair was lighter than that on the head ref the corpse. Ori mentioning this fact to the undertaker in this 'city, the latter, who was personally acquainted with the son, said the fact that the body had been in the water so long might account for the difference. Preparations for the funeral were proceeded with. Flowers were sent by sorrowing friends and relatives, and a wake was to be held at night. In Walked Thompson. About .six o'clock on Wednesday evening there was a knock at the door, and as no one went to answer the door opened and in walked young John Thompson, alive and :1 e e ] our -Bad Taste x tI I .

Geo. E. Foster Has Hope of Building Up a Good Trade. despatch from Ottawa The development of trade Japan in flour is regarded having strong possibilities, Hon. G. E. Foster, Minister Trade and Confimeree, has malting a special enquiry it. There is a, good 'demand in tient for Canadian flour, but aaser brand than what is re- d for the domestic trade is popular, It is probable that gen►ents Will be made with ran millers particularly to facture this variety of the Ct. well, and.strode across the room. to take alook at the ,man in the cas- ket. The scene that ensued earn_ be imagined. The father and sisters were simply terrified out of their wits as the apparition of :the dead brother, as they believed, appeared before them. The 'mother was at the undertaker's at the time com- pleting arrangements for the fun- eral. When quiet had been restor- ed and the family was assured that some strange mistake had been made messengers were sent to the motherto break the news to her. It was some time before the import of the intelligence dawned an her, and there was a pathetic meeting between son and mother. In the meantime the corpse of the un- knewn occupied a place in the cas- ket in the parlor of the little home. The undertaker was summoned, and he took the remains back to his chapel. Did Not Ship on Boat. Young Thompson's story is to this effect :—He left here on Nov. 4th, but did not go on the James Carruthers as was expected. He left here on the Merohants Mutual steamship the Maple and went to Montreal. He was there at the time of the storm, and was totally unconscious of the fears his family were suffering on his account. Tuesday he arrived in Toronto, and late that night he read in a news- paper of the finding of his body at Goderioh and the preparations for his funeral. He reached Hamilton Wednesday afternoon, and on his way to the house called to see his friend, Edward Duffy, of the North- ern Hotel. Mr. Duffy almost col- lapsed when he saw him, as: he had heard of the sad happening and had made arrangements to attend the funeral. Ahother remarkable. coincidence in oonnection with this remarkable case is that there was a J. Thomp- son enrolled among the crew of the James A. Carruthers. STE. MARIE SWEPT BY FLAMES Many Houses and Stores Destroyed In a1100 Village. Villa . A . despatch from Quebec says: Ste. Marie, county .of Beauoe, suf- fered a. heavy loss by fire which started on Friday night at 10.30, thirty-nine houses and stores and sixty barns, sheds and stables be- ing destroyed in the central part of the village, before the. flames were (extinguished. The fire was discov- ered in a .shed belonging to J. A. 1 Thurmel, merchant, ' and spread with incredible rapidity. When the alarm became general throughout the village the people turned out quickly, but appeared paralyzed at li the proportions the flames had as - 1 sumed. It was, therefore, solve time before they made an organized ;• attempt to combat the flames. In this they were greatly handicapped, 1 as the village possessed no fire- fighting apparatus. ►p FOUR AND A II1.LF TONS GOLD Two Million Dollars' Worth Reach Montreal.

Latest Statistics Show An Extra- ordinary Rise. A despatch from Berlin says: Germany, whieh for some time past has been expressing alarm at the falling•birth rate, has discovered a new sign of social decadence. It is the "marriage crisis." Latest sta- tistics ,,show an extraordinary rise in the number of divorces obtained in Germany. For instance, 15,78(1 divorces were' obtained in 1911, or 20 per 100,000 inhabitants, against 12,180, or 20 per 100,000 in 1900• It is believed that when the next set of statistics is published a further increase in the number will be re- ported, What makes the marriage crisis all the worse is that v''hile the number `of divorces is rapidly in- creasing the number of marriages is decreasing. The number of mar- riages per 100,000 inhabitants in 1906 was; 8400, in 1911, 7,800. R1,- '--•---" WAS 101 YEARS OF AGE. The Death of lairs. Nary 1Deveraux of London, Ont.

No chs villa's analysis of Grape- \uts can begin to show the real value of the food ----the- .practical value as shown by personal experi ence..
