They Arrived • here in excellent shape and while, the im- porters experienced a great deal of trouble in bringing thern over they may congratulate themselves on their good luck, in arriving here without a loss. They made the voYage on the Cymric, of the White:Sear iine, and while crossing had (init.& ,an exper- ience. At noon on Sunday t August ,5th, when the big vessel'wasnine- teen hours out from, gneensten, -fire was discovered i last:Jae car,• -c, iss -the f °s- ward hold and it raged until midnight on Monday, when it was gotten under control'. The loss on 'the cargo was so heavy that Agent John Lee of the White StarLinemotified the -consignees of the cargo that they would .be ex- pected to pay their pro. rate share of the less. ,Capt. St. G. Lindsay, of the.Cymric, in giyin,g, the experience of the men on the vessel in; fighting the fire, says:—"In addition to the or- dinary danger of such work,- the fire could not.be located, and deadly chlor- ine gas which poured out of the hatches made it hnpossible for the men .to re- main long at work. The officers of the vessel headed the men and man After man was lifted unconscious from the hold. The captain was carried out four times and once it appeared as though breathing had stopped. - In the hold were hogsheads of bleaching powder ancl soda ash. The heat aiad are caused the chlorine gas to generate and this poured out at a terrific rate. Melancholy Suicide, On Sunday morning last much *sur- prise and regret was felt and expressed on it becoming known that Mr. .1f -dm Vale, a resident of the nor nd of the vtliage,hq..C5namitted suicide. &ail always trings with it sadness and gloom ancl this sad event is no ex- ception to the rule. The deceased had been in a very poor state of health for some months which doubtless affected his mental faculties,on times being (psi te despondent. and it was doubtless due to this and during one of those melancholy spells he took his life. On Sunday morning last he arose from his bed at an early hour, as was his wont- ed custom, and at once proceeded to do the chores at, the stable. These be- ing done he wandered to Mr. Blatch- ford's bush, some distance north of his home, and it was here he did the rash act. The family on getting up that morning noticed nothing unusual in the surroundings,only that Mr. Vale was missing and not retaining in due time they became uneasy and search was made for him. The premises Was searched in every conceivable quarter but nothing revealed his whereabouts. Tracks, however, were then discovered in the direction he had taken and on pursuing them lecl to the discovery of the Minted man, his body being su- spended by a rope fastened to the limb of a tree, to all appearances lifeless. The body was at once cut down, but the spark of life had fled, he had evi- dently been dead for soMe time, The coroner, Dr. Browning, was notified and with others repaired to the scene and had the body removed to the house. 11 was not deemed necessary to bold an inquest as the cause of death Was quite apparent to all. The de- ceased was a sober, industrious and hard-working man, but like all others doubtless had his share of troubles and life's discoutragements. He was high- ly respected as a friend and neighbor, but life to him must have lost its charm, when he could put an end to his earthly existence by so rash an act..
