He had several ribs broken, two very severe scalp wounds, a fracture of the skull, and a compound fracture of the left wrist, besides internal injuries, which produced hemorrhage. The accident happened in a very peculiar way. For several days past Mr. Holman had been coiupelled to quit work, owing to an injury to his back, and yesterday he decided to spend a short time at Speingbank, Be- tween five and six o'clock he was corn- ing down the hill, just south of the pump house, to take a car for the city, .and as a trolley approached when he was a considerable distanee front the tracks, Ile began to run in order to catch it. In doing ,so, however, he tripped and fell, and rolled clown the hill some twenty er thirty feet until he reached an old box drain, in which his head and shoulders because fast. Engineer Simmie, of the water -works, and several others had been attracted by Mr. Holrnan's fall, and when they reached the spot they found him in a semi-conscious condition, with blood flowing freely from the wounds in his head, Dr. Thompson, who was called to Springhanlc, did everything possible to relieve the sufferings of the injured roan prior to having him removed in the ambulance to the City Hospital, where Dr. IYlacarthur was also called in.

He was born near Exeter 56 years ago, and was third of the family of twelve child- ren—seven boys and fivegirls—in which his death causes the first break, His wife died seven years ago.

LANE, Clork, Dated at Goderich, :May 23, 18118, TheUses of Featherbone Demonstrated,... You may ask what is Featherbone ? Featherbone is made from turkeys' quills and is admittedly the ideal thing for boning waists and stiffening collars reveres, etc. It won't break, it won't curl up, it won't rust and is far ahead of steels and canvass for stiffening pur- poses. A waist boned, a revere or col- lar stiffened with featherbone never does and never can lose it's shape and . it is used to -day by the leading modistes in the chief cities of the U. S. Featherbone in a crude form has been on the Canadian market for some time but now the improved article, that which has become so popular on the other side, is being introduced here. To demonstrate its superiority over all other dress stiffenings and the many uses to which it can be put Miss Lowe of the Boston Featherbone Parlors will give a free demonstration in our store on Tuesday, June 7th. Your are invited to come and see for your- self how much better than the ordinary stuffenings it is. There will be no charge for instruction and all purchas- ers of Featherbone can have it put in their waists free of charge while Miss Lowe is here. HODGENS :: BROS. CLINTON".
