The first attempt was made with his belt, and when police had taken this away from him he doffed his trousers and tried to make them serve his purpose. This plan was also frustrated, and he again at- tempted to hang himself by using his overcoat belt. The police are of the opinion that the man was so drunk that he was unaware of what he was doing, and it is not likely that he will be arraigned on any charge other than that of drunkenness. AERIAL SURVEYS SAVE TIME Toronto, Apr. 8 ecologists at one time wasted from 75 per cent to 80 per cent of their time explor- ing unpromising areas, but aerial surveys have done away with this waste time, according to A.

HYMNOLOGY AND POETRY Toronto, Apr. 8. -- "I venture to say that a man who knows his hymnal knows as much about poetry as a university graduate," said N. F.

I TRAIN WRECKED, TWO ARE DEAD Disaster at Drummondville, Quebec, Caused By Montreal, April 8.--Twa known dents were warned beforehand and escaped, The streets of the Town of Beauceville were covered with sev- eral feet of water, Railway Statement Montreal, April 8.--The follow- ing statement was issued tonight by officials of the Canadian Na- tional Railways: "The station agent at Drum- mondville reported at 4.20 p.m. today that train No. 45 which left Quebec at 1.20 p.m, for Montreal, had been derailed on the trestle dead, two members of a Canadian National Railway passenger train crew unaccounted for, and enor- mous property damage wag the toll exacted in the Province of Quebec | over the week-end by flood waters. | The actual extent of the damage | could mot be ascertained tonight | owing to the fact that telephone and telegraphic wires outside of Montreal were badly disrrupted.

A third man. managed to swim ashore. With the exception of a few minor delays both the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific Railways ran their trains on sched- ule. Reports of floods on the C.N. R. line from Montreal to Quebec via Richmond, caused difficulty to only one train. Its departure wa held up little over an hour. The Canadian Pacific Railway Boston train, due to reach Mont- real early today, arrived tonight, but the delay in this case was due to flood conditions in Vermont, apd not in the Province of Quebec. The mild weather of Thursday, Friday and Saturday is blamed for the conditions which prevail, but fortunately for the railways the colder weather of today caused a cessation of the dangerously rapid melting of the ice, and enquiry at both railway headquarters in- dicated that for the moment at least trains will run generally on schedule. Traffic on the highways leading to Sherbrooke, Richmond, Coati- cook, Waterville and Cookshire in the Eastern Townships had been paralyzed by the overflow of the St. Francis River and its tribu- taries, the Coaticook, Moses and Massawippi. Advices from Richmond inti- mated that that town was one of the greatest sufferers. The main street was covered with three feet of water, the report stated, and fears were held out for the safety of the Richmond-Melbourne bridge, whose supports were being batter- ed by huge cakes of ice. Considerable damage was done in the Beauce District as the re- sult of the sudden rise of the water of the Chaudiere River, brought about 'by an ice jam. Many homes on the shores of the Chaudiere dig- tle and | and ssenger ssing as National were tela- | lated districts before just east of Drummondville Sta- tion, at about 4 o'clock.

The water has never heen so high, and it is feared that when an ice jam ahove the flooded area breaks the flood will attain more serious proportions. Lamabe Laronde, old-time river. man, who has lived close to the In- dian River all his life, states that the water is now three feet above high-water mark, and he has not seen it so high in 25 years. The flooded area, which comprises about 25 acres, is low and flat, Much of it is populated and there are a number of houses and other buildings, all of which are more or less flooded. Many of the resi- dents are living in upper stories of their homes, In some instances the water has reached the level of the doors, and in the houses it is within a few inches of the lower windows. No buildings have been washed away as yet, there being little current, but fears are held for the future. Following unusunal- ly mild weather Saturday, a strong south wind drove the ice out of the Muskrat River, into which the Indian flows, but {in the latter stream, which is narrow and wind- ing, the ice moved more slowly, with the result that the water has held back and has flooded the flats, Washout Near Huntsville North Bay, April 8.--Floods in the vicinity of Huntsville have caus- ed a washout on the C.

Marie, Ont., April 8.-- Flood waters of the Goulais River are Searchmont area on the Algoma Central Railway, to such an extent ever backing up over the that some 20 families were forced yesterday to seek shelter with their neighbors on higher ground. Ca- noes and other small craft were freely brought into use and pro- vided the only means of travelling over the flyoded area. Arrangements had been made for Glendale and Searchmont settlers to unite in church services in the Searchmont Church, but over 50 per cent of the people were preven- ted from attending owing to the depth of water along the road. A heayy sleet storm was in full swing when Rev. Mr. Wade got off the train at Searchmont. Creeks be- tween Northland and Searchmont were breaking up and ridding Made in Canada KOTEX Sanitary Napkins themselves of thier ice burden. Mr. Wade had to travel approximately 400 yards by canoe from the Gou- lais Bridge in order to reach the church. A tremendous ice-jam on the Goulais River, caused the wa- ters to overflow the banks, causing minor damage and considerable In- convenience in the neighborhood. Water 12 Feet Deep Around the Searchmont Lumber Company property the water is re- ported to be 12 feet deep, and on the road between Glendale and Searchmont it is 3 feet deep. After a week of really springlike weather, including 48 hours of rain, which advanced the opening of navigation a week or ten days, King Winter again descended on Algoma yesterday, bringing a tem- perature of 10 above zero and 6 inches of snow. Another cold night with more snow is the pros- pect. MEN HELPLESS ON FLOE OF ICE MAY BE SWEPT OVER FALLS Niagara Falls, Ont., April 8.-- Two men believed to be rum. run- ners, adrift in a stranded row boat, may be swept over the Falls before morning. At mid- night tonight their fate {is un- known. Coastguards have tried in vain to locate them since their desperate plight was reported. The men were attempting to land a cargo on Grand Island early this evening. They were pulling the boat ove rthe ice when the shore pack was seen to break, They drifted down the river, but clearing the United States shore. Watchers on the Caandian side saw their peril and telephoned coastguards across the river. An immediate attempt was made to reach them but a blizzard is sweeping the river, and observers lost sight of the men. They were seen to be making efforts to free their craft from the ice, but were having difficulties. The gale on the river makes their plight particularly perilous in the darkness. The grinding of the ice floes can be distinctly heard as parts break off and are carried down the river and over the Falls. Watchers are powerless to ren- der aid. The men are at the mers cy of the wind and the currents, It was reported that the wind seemed to be blowin them to- wads shore, but in the grip of the current, grave fears are held for their safety, Until the morning a a » r : " r " 4 o " " i " " " X - SO a a a ee a a Re EE TTT J he i J J J J J Ja Sa a a a a Je J Je Jan nee ee ee ee a Dor Discarq : asil Without Mii Tassment, Direc.
