Young Alfred Abernethy, Brock Street, Drowned Out of a Treacherous Canoce--His Com- pPanion, David Jackson, Made Brave Efforts to Rescue Him. The treacherous canoe has again been thé means of luring to his death another youth, 3 ly the boating season 'been opened in King- ston until the dark waters of the har bor claimed another victim. { Jt was a lovely Sunday afternoon, and just the day to enjoy an outing on the water, Consequently Alfred 7T, Abernethy and David Jackson went to Capt. Wessel's boat hvery, on King street, where they engaged 4 cance for a couple of hours. Young Aber ! methy had never been in a cance be- , fore, and could not swim, whereas his companion, David Jackson, was a "splendid swimmer. They had been out ,an hour or so when Abernethy at { tempted to change his position in the eanoe near the knitting mill. In doing "#0 the frail craft capsized, precipitat- ing the occupants into the water, Ab- | ernethy at once sank, and Jackson | made an heroic effort to rescue him. { Buveral times he dived in the hopes of securing his companion, but he was | bnsuccessful. In trying to rescue his companion he exhausted his own en- j ergiow, and had given up all hope of saving himself when help arrived, { Capt. Wessels started out in his yacht to resote the unfortunate boys, while . 8 number of skiffs also put out to the scene bf the accident. Young Jackson } was rescued by Phillip Bawden and Edward Bates, But fate willed that Jackson's eom- nion should not be so fortunate. j Before succor could arrive the waters {had closed above him for the list | time, and human assistance was of no tavail. For a eouple of hours diligent search was made for the body, "The harbor was thoroughly dragged in the vicipity of the sad catastrophe, and just before dark the body was re covered by George Thompson, a boat builder, who had with him in the skifk Patrick Moran and Edward Hen derson. The body was at once {brought ashore, where energetic mea: | sures were taken to bring about re suscitation. This, however, proved unavailable, and the remains were re moved to the home of the heart broken parents on Nrock street. The deceased young man, Alired Taylor Abernethy, was the second youngest son of Mr. and Mm. Wil liam A. Abernethy, Brock stwet, The father is employed in Archibald Aber- nethy's shoe store, Princess street, but is a mason by trade. The unfortunate young man had but lately left school, awl for the past two weeks had bean working in J. J. Crawford's tailor shop.

ON SUNDAY MORNING STRE®T RAILWAY COMPANY'S BUILDINGS DAMAGED, Blage Criginated in Workshop -- Confined to Brick Building -- Street Cars and Sheds Were Saved. On Sunday morning the street rail way company's buildings on King street were damaged by fire. The alarm was rung at a quarter past eight o'clock, the firsmen responding with their usual alacrity. The blaze had originated in the workshop in the bricks building adjoining the car sheds; and was well started before discovered, It enveloped the whole place, and burning through the ceil ing, attacked the two upper storeys It was no easy job the firemen had. Chief Elmer soon had three streams playing into the burning building, two from King street, and another from Wellington street, attacking the fire in the rear. The main object was to prevent the fire getting at the car barns, separated from the flames by a brick wall. As the hose was aeross the tracks, the cars could not be run out, but they were in no danger for the brigade kept the fire well confin After a short time, when the blaze was somewhat under control, one line of the hose was removed for a speil, and the cars all run out of the shed and lined along King street. The brigade was engaged for two hours and a half at the burning building. The fire raged through the two upper storeys in wnlch were stor- od a large quantity of the Deering harvesting company's apparatus, some street railway belongings and five cutters owned by B. W. Folger. Most of these things were destroyed. Messrs. Ferguson's office on the ground floor was not touched by the fire, but was well flooded. The water alko went through into the brick building occupied by Mr. Frost as a paint shep. Had the blaze reached the latter place, there would have been an awful conflagration. The barns at the corner escaped uninjured. It was under a working bench that the blaze started, evidently resulting from a match thrown into some rub- bish. This. was the only méans hy which the fire could have started. The power was off, and the night-watch- man had left the place only a half an hour before the fire was discovered. 'Phe damage will amount to £5,000, fully coversd by insurance. Another Sunday Blaze. _ Shortly after two o'clock Sundav afternoon, an alarm was sounded from box 12. The workshop and stable owned by alderman McFarlane on the Montroal road was all ablaze before firemen reached the place. Neighbors saved a buggy inside, but a fine horse was roasted to death. The fire men were engaged three-quarters of an hour in extinguishing the flames. The whole building was virtually destroy- ed, including a large number of tools. Alderman McFarlane was in the coun: try at the time. The fire is thought to have been started by boys smoking cigarettes. A Victim Of Ill-Luck, Trouble and ill-luck seem to follow fast and follow faster upon the track of A. H. Miller, Clergy street. His friends thought his troubles had reach- ed a climax about three weeks ago when his cabinet-making shop at the foot of Queen street, was burned, to- gether with much finished woodwork, and the tools that were not stolen on the night of the fire. Superintendent Nickle kindly offered Mr. Miller space at the street cay barns in which to store away his benches and whatever other articles escaped the fire. Then on Sunday morning, in the fire at the beens, Mr, Miller sustained a further loss of all these goods. He has in deed had ill-uck, and his friends have much sympathy for him. The Choir To-night. The programme to be given by the Westminster Abbey choir to-night will consist of the finest examples of old English songs, with a few Scotch numbers. Oy the igmous part songs are "The Belle of St." Michael's Tower," "Take Thy Banner," "Now is the Month of Maying," and "The Hunt is Up." The hoy sopranos will be heard in several solos.

The annual meeting of the Catara qui cematery company was held on Saturday afternoon. Superintendent Nicol reported that during the year ended April 30th, there had heen 206 interments, and thirty-three had been removed from the vaults for inter ment elsewhere, showing a decrease of seventy four as compared with the previous year. During the year 113 lots were sold. Fourteen lot holders had paid for the perpetual care of plots, making ninety-six lots now un der perpetual care. Five fences and several hedges have been removed dur ing the year. Mr. Nicol stated that if lot owners only realized the amount of extra labor caused by fences, and the improvement to the general cp- pearance of the cemetery the removal of them would make, many more 'of them would be taken away. Thirty-two foundations for monu ments had been made during the year. Many cut-leaved weeping and white birch trees had died, and were re moved, There were planted during the year 3,000 bulbs and over 1.000 crna- mental trees and shrubs. The labor required to keep the grounds in order last vear was largely increased, owing to the frequent rains. A green house was found to be necessary to pre- scrve the valuable plants during the winter and one is now under con struction. G. W. Maxwell, secretary-treasurer, reported thus : Receipts, 83,308.46; expenditure, $3,410.95; deficit, $30.49. The directors for the ensuing year are : John Duff, chairman; Dr. R. V Rogers, K.C.,. B. W, Robertson, Dr. A. P. Chown and H. W. Richardson. Since the incorporation of the ceme tery company in August, 1850, there have been 9,600 interments.

The iton workers' helpers employed ut the locomotive works are no long er union men. Their charter was taken away on Saturday. It is very probable that the union men in the shops will refuse to work with these non-union men, and that either the latter must get out, or a general strike will follow. On Saturday afternoon a meeting of the iron workers' helpers' union wos called, and addressed by organ.cw Flett. About forty of the 122 mem bers of the union were present. Rob ery MeGee read a typewritten resols- tion, which - simply reaffirmed = the union's allegiance to the locomotive works company, and their refusal to have aught to do with the ma chinists. Mr. Flett had in his possession a letter from Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American federation of la hor, Washington, DL., written on May let. "This letter stated that the iron workess" helpers' must recede from their position of lose their char ter, Mr. Flett extended the time in which they were permitted to decide, and as no action was taken, he pro ceeded on Saturday to carry out his instructions' from headquarters, The charter of union No. 8,412 was con- fiscated, along with all the papers, documents, ete, bejonging to the anion. "I have never known of a parallel case in America," said Mr, Flett. "The stand taken by the iron workers' help ers' union was contrary to the spirit of unionisn, and caused antagonism rather than mutual concord and unity. I waited for some time in hopes some thing might be done, but the men were not conciliatory in anv form. It is the first time a union in America; or anywhere else as I know of, has had its charter taken away for such a reason," There are perhaps thirty or more members of the late union who did not agree in the stand taken, but who were in sympathy with the machinists, The names of these men have been sent on to Washington, and a new anion will be formed next week, The number of men affected by the cancel.) ling of the charter is about fifty-two There is likely to be a general strike, } no doubt, if the company continues to employ these men. "The men can act in this unbecoming way if they like," said Mr. Flett, "but they can not do so under the banner of union =m, MARINE INTELLIGENCE, What ia Happening Along the Wa ter Front.
