DIED AT HIS POST,
At 4.30 o'clock Friday afternoon
Mr. IL -E. Clarke, one of the n►enr•
Isere for Toronto in the Legislature,
arose to address the House upon a
hill which had been iutroduced by
Mr. Tait to amend the Armament
Act- He spoke for a moment or
two in opposition to the bill and
had just uttered these words : "The
only assessment at present exist•
ing--" when lie dropped into his
seat and was falling oyer his desk
when Mr. Ctar.ey, seeing that Home -
thing had happened, took hint in his
arms and replaced hien. Drs. Wil-
loughby and McKay carne forward.
They lifted the hon. gentleman from
his seat and laid him on the floor,
putting a cushion under hie bead.
Mr. Clarke ceased speaking at
4.30 o'clock, and was pronounced
dead at,' 4.45. Dr. Gilmour stated
afterwards that, in his opinion,
death had come upon Mr-• Clarke
the moment he ceased to speak. He
apparently gasped twice for breath
after he was laid 00 the floor, but
the doctors thick that this action
was simply due to muscular contrac-
tion. He began his speech in a
jocular vein, and seemed in. the beat
of humor. It was a subject of re-
mark tha be was
SPEAKING VERY VIGOROUSLY,
and with considerable daateltl ;vim.
re
`1t -or•`three timet; during the sea-
sion, and most noticeably during his
criticism of Mr. Harcourt's budget
speech, he seemed to sutler greatly
from heart trouble. That day Mr.
Clarke was forced to ask the indul-
gence of. the House, and pause for
several moments to catch his breath.
At the time he was advised by Heys
oral members to spare himself, and
until Thursday, with one or two ex-
ceptions, he had followed that ad.
vi.oa. He continued speaking for
several moments, and was in the
middle of a aet.tenee.•as described,
when lie suddenly threw' out his
arms and fell hack into his seat.
Immediately after he was pronoun°.
ed dead Mr. Mowat moved the ads
journnient of the House.
Mr. Clarke was the only member
who ever died in the chamber. On
Friday, February 11, 1881, Dr.
Harkin (Prescott) was strikon down
with apoplexy a few moments after
the House met, but was carried out,
and died two and a half hours later
in the reception room.
MR. CLARKE'S CAREER AS A CITIZEN.
AND AS A POLITICIAN.
Henry Edward Clarke was born
at Three Rivers, Quebec, on the
20tH of March, 1829. He was the
son of Henry Clarke and Ellen
Armstrong, both of whom came
from Midhill, county of Fermanagb,
Ireland. He received his tuition,
which comprised a sound and practi-
cal English education, from public
teachers and private instructors.
but when 15 years old he left home
to poet] his fortune in the world.
Commerce drew him into its busy
and active field. At the age of 18
he had learned the trade of saddle
and trunk.making, an found em-
ployment in one of the largest shops
in Montreal. Here he remained un-
til 1848, when be removed to Ot-
tawa, then Bytown.
STEADY, RELIABLE AND ENERGETIC,
he became foreman of the largest
We are in sore need of a detec-
tive in these parts, to watch the ac-
tions of a certain gentleman in this
vicinity. True, we have a self-
appointed detective, but her duties
in that direction are detrimental to
the performance of her household
duties, It is not, to ger, a remun•
erative busiuess as she does not
even get thanks for her services. If
the government would kindly ap-
point and pay a good detective and
send him here to watch this in-
dividual it would be a great relief
to the one who now takes charge of
the business.

waddler shop in the town when bare-
ly 20 years of age. At Ottawa he
remained for Owlet four years, work-
ing diligently and perfuctieg himself
in his trade.
Itt 1854 he started in business on
his own account in Toronto. The
bueiness.grew very rapidly under
ITIS ABLE MANAGEMENT,
and in 1873 a large faotory was
erected on King street west, near,
'1'eeumseth street, and the King
street premises were henceforth used
al a warehouae. In a very short
time it was found nedessary to en-
large the factof''y, and eaverrs! large
additions have since been erected.
Mr. Clarke found Muteeif at the
head of one of the largest trunk
manufacturing establishments in
America, and was recognized ,a8 one
of the most solid and enterprising
of 'Toronto's business men. The
present place of busirives on King
street west is one of the moat beau.
tiful •racioua trunk stores in
America. Few employers in Cana.
da took such a lively and generous
interest in the welfare of the em-
ployes as did Mr. Clarke.
IIIc POLITICAL CAREER.
Ile (irst sat in the Local Legisla-
ture en member for West Toronto
in 1883 and was re-elected by largo
majorities in 1887 and 1890. As
a politician Mr. Clarke achieved
distinction and won a high place
for himself in the Ontario Legisla.
ture. He was an effective speaker
and had on repeated occasions ably
supported his leader, 111r. Meredith,
in the active duties of legislation and
did good service to his party and on
the floor of the House. I -Ie paid
special attention to the financial
condition of the province and for
the last few years the responsible
duty of replying to the treasurer's
statement wee assigned to him.
This year, however, his health
would not permit hint to reply to
Mr. Harcourt's statement. He
took a prominent part in opposing
the movement of commercial union
of Canada with the United States,
feeling that • smch a union would
tend to an, undesirable.,,political
alliance' with the republic and retard
the industrial life andelevelopment
of Canada., On thin subject Mr.
Clarke wrote very valuable articles
in support of his views and in reply
to Erastus Wiman.

the House to attend the funeral
Han. Mr. Mowat paid an eloquent
and•doservod tribute to the deceased

—As an indication that the farm-
ers of Ontario aro not in such
desperate straits as the mournful
knight would have us believe, the
Arthur Enterprise states (and the
sense can bo said here) that a large
percentage of the grain in that
vicinity, estimated at one-third the
entire yield, has not yet been
marketed. When, a farmer can
hold six ar eight hundred bushels
of grain until spring he is not
particularly hard up,—Stratford

—John Kennedy, a prominent
framer of Blanchard, committed
suicide by shooting himself Friday
morning. It is supposed that itis
mind has been affected for some
time past, and for the last few days
he had been unusually despondent.
While on his way to the bush at
the rear of hia farm, shortly after
seven o'clock this morning, he
drew a revolver from his pocket and
sent a bullet through his brain,.
Death was inetantaneous,
—The rumor that deputy reeve
Knight, of Woodstock, had with.
drawn his action for damages against
the G. T. R. through the St. George
accident is not well founded. Messrs.
Knight and Karn are the only two
victims of that disaster who are
pressing their claims for substantial
damages, and they have no intene
tion of ,abandoning the suit. They
each employ separate counsel, how-
evee, and this may have given rise
to the report that Mr. Knight had
been induced to withdraw.
