FATAL !ACCIDENT.
JOSEF SCt4rtDE INSTANTLY KILLED
ON SATURDAY EVENING.
Struck by a Falling Strongbar on
Steamer 'Scottish Hero While Assis-
ting in Ugloading the Cargo -Was
Formerly Bandmaster of 33rd Reg-
iment -Inquest Held.
A distressing fatality which cast a
gloom over the community occurred
at the harbor en Saturday evening,
about 7 o'clock resulting in the deat h
of Josef Schade, who was employed
with others in the unloading of the
grain cargo of the steamer Scotti.h
Hero at the Goderich elevator.
The unfortunate man was at work
in the bold of the vessel with about •
dozen others when the accident hap-
pened. All the grain in that compart-
ment of the bold had been elevated,
and the wooden shovels were being
hoisted on deck while the men were
engaged in sweeping out the hold. As
the shovels ascended they swayed con-
siderably and when they reached the
top they caught the end of an iron
stronghar, weighing about 200 pounds,
acd lilted it. out of its socket. As
soon as he realized the danger. Ernest
Bell, who was at the hatchway to re-
ceive the shovels, gave the warning
cry, "Look out below." An instant
later the bar fell, crashing against a
tunnel, and then, veering over to the
other side of the hold, struck Schade
with terrific force across the face and
chest. He fell without a groan, death
being ininstantaneous. No one else was
Dr. A. T. Emmerson was summoned
immediately, but of course was unable
to do anything for the unfortunate
man.
On investigating the circua.stancee
under which the accident happened
Coroner Holmes ordered an inquest.
The body was removed to Brophy's
undertaking rooms, where the jury
was impaoelled on Monday morning.
The Inquest
The inquiry into the death of the
unfortunate man opened on Monday
morning at 10 o'clock. Coroner
Holmes having empanelled a jury of
eight men, the hotly was viewed et
Brophey's under:eking rooms sod the
evidence of the boat crew was taken in
the council chamber at the town ball.
The jury ccilsisted of Jas. Mitchell
(foreman), O. F. Sturdy, H. R. Long,
O. C. Whitely, H. Boehmer, P. T.
Dear., N. C. Cameron and W. Hem.
Crown Attorney Seager was present
in the interests of the public : L. E.
Dancey appeared on behalf of the
owners of the vessel and W. Proud -
foot. K. C., for the Goderich Elevator
& Tr ansit Co.
D. McIntyre, captain of the Scottish
Hero, was the first witness examined.
He stated that he was present when
the accident happened and his explan-
ation as to the cause was that when
they were hoisting the gearing out of
the bold it knocked one of the strong -
backs or stroogbars out of place and it
tell on Schade with fatal results. He
explained further that "strongbars"
are for the purpose of supporting the
covering of the bold and that they ate
not fastened but set in sockets. ues-
tioned further as to how the accident
happened, he stated that the elevator
crew had finished unloading that part
of the vessel aad when they were lift-
ing the wooden shovels out they
swung and str.lck one end of the
strongback, lifting it out of place.
When asked by Crown Attorney
Seager if any person were in charge
of the hoisting be said that a man be-
longing to the elevator gang was
looking after it but that no one was
detailed by him to do that work.
in reply to questions put by Mr,
Dancey, the captain slated that the
steamer crew bad nothing to do with
the unloading of the steamer after
they had cleared the hatchways.
Mr. Proodfoot elicited further infor-
mation to the effect that the mate of
the boat was running the steam
winch, about forty feet away, which
hoisted the above. It was not the
mate's duty to do this, but he did it
simply because the man at the top of
the hatchway asked him to dolt, as no
member of the elevator rang Was on
hand to do it.
Mack Stalker, the mate, and T. Mil-
ler, the second engineer, of the boat
corroborated the evidence of their
captain in an tar as they were eyewit-
nesses of the accident. Neither could
attach blafne to any particular person.
Questioned by Mr. Dancey. Miller
stated that there was plenty of room
to take the shovels up out of the hold
without touching the strongback.
of Wi William evidence I m Day, a fire-
man on the boat, another witness, did
not vary from the previous state-
ments as I. how the accident hap -
Capt. McIntyre, when recalled, said
that the mode of procedure followed
in unloading the boat was the same as
in the majority of cases. He said fur-
ther that the size of the shovels should
sot interfere with their coming up
The inquest was then adjourned un-
til led Monday evening, when the evi-
deses of other eye-witeesees of the
tragedy, fellow -employees of the dead
man. was taken.
hinsediately after adjournment the
jury visited the scene of the accident
in order to become more fully ac -

(ARD OF TIRAPIR&
let. awl - doaYs
piainteai with the conditions under
which the accident occurred.
H. O. PoeNetbw•ite, chief of police,
was the first witness at the evening
session. He told of taking measure
menu of the shovels and the size of
clear spice at the top of the hatchway
through which the shovels had to
pass. The shovels measured 2 feet, 4
inches by 2 feet, 8 inches sod the
space was 10 feet long by 3 feet, 2
inches in width. He stated that the
shovels would conte through the hole
the narrow way, leaving about four
inches clear ou either side.
G. L. Parsons, superintendent of the
Galerielt Fylev'ator & Transit Co.,
stated that so far as he knew the
atroogbare in all boats were detach-
able, none being fastened. So far as
the boat crew were concerned, the
witness did not think any blame could
be attached to any of them. The ele-
vator gang had charge of the unload-
ing of the boat and if there were any
fault it lay with the men themselves.
Hugh Hardy, foreman of the eleva-
tor gang, said that he was standing
just behind Schade when he (Schade)
was struck down. Several others also
were very close. There were two
electric lights in the hold which gave
sufficient light tor the men to work
hut not to see the top of the hatch-
way. He stated that to Ernest Bell
was assigned the task of taking the
shovels in on the deck when they were
boisted from the hold. He had done
this work all along and had given
good satisfaction. He stated further
that the teen were working in the op-
posite side of the hold to that in which
the strongbar fell. He beard Bell give
the warning to the men in the hold
but was unable to see anything fall, as
it was too dark above the lights.
Ernest Bell told of signalling in two
different ways to the mate to stop the
winch when the shovels were about a
foot from the strongbar. The mate
was standing with the captain at the
winch, which was about twenty-five or
thirty feet away from Bell, and al-
though there were no lights on the
boat he could see the mate quite dis-
tinctly. The witness declared the
order was not obeyed and as soon as
the stronghar left the socket he called
out : "Look out below."
When asked by Mr. Dancey as to
who stopped the engine, the witness
said that the mate did just as soon as
the strongbar fell.
Jacob Cousins, Neil 'slut ray, Bert.
McDonald, Patrick Car. y. Wm.
Boulton and J. T. Sowell, who all
stood within a few feet of Schade
when the har fell, gave similar testi-
mony, in that none of them saw the
bar until it struck the tunnel. The
last-mentioned witness also told that
the shovels were steadied as they
began to ascend. Asked if he could
define the cause of the accident, he re-
plied, "If the strongbar had been
taken out he certainly would not have
been killed."
Dr. A. T. Emmerson, who con-
ducted th3 post-mortem, reported that
any one of the iejurtes received by the
dead man would have been sufficient
to cause death. The skull was very
badly fractures and the second, third
and fourth rite wete crushed in. The
breast bone also was fractured in the
region of the auxiliary line, and was
broken in two other places. The left
lung was all torn and crushed and the
heart and a large vein leading to it
were ruptured. The bones of the
nose and the inner portion of the
upper maxillary bones were crushed
in and that portion of the maxilla
containing the teeth above wee in
fragments and loose.
When the evidence of the witnesses
was all in, Coroner Holmes drew the
jury's attention to the statement made
by Bell that his signal to the mate had
not been heeded. Although the cap-
tain's and the mate's answer to this
might not be important he regretted
that they had not been questioned on
that point before they left port.
L. H. Dancey stated that in regard
to this the captain's statement to him
was that it was he who signalled the
mate to stop and that they did not get
any signal from Bell.
Coroner Holmes in his address to
the jury warned them that if they
thought any person was culpable or
that anything was open to censure
they should state so in their verdict..
He instructed them that they might
add a rider if they thought necessary
in his opinion the proceeding followed
of net properly guiding the shovels
was very dangerous, seeing that they
had only about three incises clear to
miss striking the stronghers.
The case was placed in the hands -of
the jury at f► o'clock and about an
hour and fifteen minutes later the fol-
lowing verdict was returned :
"That Josef Schade came to his
death between 0 p. in. and 7 p. m. in
the hold of the 'teenier Scottish Hero
during the nnl rsding of • cargo of
grain at the elevator of the Ooderich
Elevator R Transit Co., by the falling
of a strongback or bar which had been
lifted from its place by the hoisting of
four shovels which were being lifted
frnm the hold by a steam hoist on the

of those who may vote at elections to
the Legislature or at municipal elec-
tions, and every person properly qual-
ified to vote at either of these elec-
tions should examine the list and see
if his name is printed thereon. Mis-
takes sometimes may happen by
which the r aures of qualified voters
may be omitted from the list, and
such persons will lie disfranchised at the
coming election unless the omission is
noticed and corrected.

A GODItRIC,H HERO.
Carnegie Commission Recognizes the
Brave Deed of Mr. G. J. Shaw.
In the listof Hve Canadians to whom
awerds have just been made by the
Oarppgie Hero Fund Commission, the
nage of G. es Shaw, of .oderich,
ap Shaw was awarded a
bronze al and the sum of 41,500
for the purpose of liquidating a mort-
gage on his property.
Mr. Shaw rescued Harry M. Videan
from a machine at the Goderich eleva-
tor on September 14th. 1908. After
having failed in one attempt, he pulled
off a belt which was travelling at the
rate of 4,000 feet a minute, in response
to a cry from Videan, who was en-
tangled in a rope and who was being
crushed by the machine. The belt
came off just as one of Shaw's arms
came in contact with a pulley, but he
was not injured. Mr. 'Videan was
badly hurt, but recovered.
Mr. Shaw is in Port Colhorue at
present, but a Signal representative
was informed by Mrs. Shaw this after-
noon that she had received a message
from Mr. Shaw that he had received
notice of the awerd.
The people of Ooderich are extreme-
ly pleased to see this recognition of a
brave deed and trust that Mr. Shaw's
example of courage and presence of
mind will be an inspiration to all who
hear of it.
POTASH ?
Another Report from Germany of Discov-
eries at Goderich.
Berlin, Oct. 15. -During the negotia
Lions between United States potash
buyers and the German potash trust
a rumor was circulated that extensive
finds of potash had been made at
Goderich, Ont., and the regions
around Lakes St. Clair and Huron.
At that time the opinion was freely
expressed in Berlin that the report
had been circulated in order to affect
the negotiations.
The German potash trust sent a
corps of geologists to Canada to inves-
tigate. The reports of this corps have
been received here, and, although
they are sufficiently encouraging to
justify the formation of a syndicate,
the prospectors are not yet ready to
say that they have struck an unde
viably rich potash tract. Advance in-
dications are encouraging, and the
Germans are prepared to exploit the
field to the fullest extent possible.
This despatch appeared in Monday's
Toronto ()lobe. Nothing is known
here of anything to justify the report
of the finding of potash deposits in
this section. Either something is be-
ing concealed or somebody is putting
up a big bluff.

DUKE OF CONNAUGHT IS NOW
OUR GOVERNOR-GENERAL.
Census Figures Announced -Canada's
Population Not So Large as Was
Expected -Hon. A. G. MacKay Is-
sues an Important Political State-
ment - Rebellious Chinese Are
Making Trouble.
His Royal Highness the Duke of
Connaught landed at Quebec on Fri-
day last and at once was installed as
Governor-General of Canada. The
ducal party was met at the ancient
capital by Premier Borden and the
members of his Cabinet and in addi-
tiou to the official reception they re-
ceived a hearty welcome from the
people. The Duke and Duchess had
soother cordial reception upon their
arrival at Ottawa on Saturday.

Hon. A. G. MacKay has issued a
etat.ement covering moot of the mat-
ters at issue between the Whitney
Government and the Provincial Op-
position led by Mr. MacKay. He crit-
icizes the Government for bringing on
the elections unnecessarily at en un-
seasonable time of the year, thus in-
terfering with the fall and Christmas
trade. Dealingwiththeu
-education
question. he pointe out the lamentable
results which have followed the Gov-
ernment's
ov-
ernments policy, especially the clos-
ing of the model schools, as a result of
which many schools are now without
properly qualified teachers. He asks
that something be done in the way of
providing technical eaucation for the
large number of pupils whose "school-
ing" is finished when they leave the
public.. 9tsiooL The Government's
Hnasehisdministr•tion comes in for
some a'iticism, and Mr. MacKay
again declares his support of the pro-
posal to do away with the taxation of
Improvements. He suggests a flat
rate for hydro -electric power, as a
measure of justice to those municipali-
ties situeted at a dtetance from Niag-
ara which ate in danger of losing
their industries through the lower
cost of power at points nearer Niag-
ara. A strung plank in his platform
is the development of Northern On-
tario. which be claims is oat being
properly dealt with by the Govern-
ment. Mr. MacKay asks that the
promised repos t on bilingual schools
he produced, so that the facts may be
knows sed possible remedies discus-
sed.

A rebellion has broken out in China
♦nd has assumed serious proportions.
The rebels seek to overt brow the Man-
chu dynasty and establish a republic.
The latest news is of a great fight at
Hankow, in which the Chinese Gov-
ernment claims an important victory.
The war between Italy and Turkey
is stall proesedine. but there has been
little real fighting. Cholera has
broken out among the troops of both
countries, aid threatens to cause a
greater loss of life than the armed
hostilities.

The figures of the census taken in
June have been handed out, and the
result is a disappointment to those
who expected the population of Can-
ada to reach eight millions. The ac-
tual total is 7.081,869. The figures are
not quite complete, and when the full
returns are received they will make
the total about 7.100,000. The in-
crease over 1901 is about 1,800,000.
While not eo large as was expected,
this increase is fax and away the larg-
est in so decade rinse confederation.
From 1891 to 1907, the gain was 538,-
