DR. HORSEY MET SAD-FATF. STRUCK DOWN BY BURSTING FLYWHEEL. Survived Injuries Only a Few Hours--Had Previously Re- marked That it Was His Un- lucky Day. Owen Sound, Ont., July 24.--Short alter six o'clock last evening Dr Horsey, representative for North ky in the dominion house of com mons, was fatally injured by the bursting of the fly wheel on an acces gory engine at the Sun cement works The big mill had just commenced to manuiacture cement 5 day or two be- fore, and Dr. Horsey, the founaer and principal promoter of the enterprise, had been spending much time around the plant. Yesterday he passed from one department of the works to the other, personally superintending the initial work of manufacture.' About 530 o'clock W. P. Teliord, a well known local banker, and one of the directors of the cement company. went to the mills, which are situated on" the west side of the harbor en- trance. He was greeted by Dr. Hors and together they went from one de- partment to another watching the big rotaries turning, and discussing many of the innumerable details of the con- cern. few minutes before six o'clock they entered the engine-room, situated in a building at the - north side of the plant. In this building is a monster engine of 850 nominal horse- power. To the south of this are dy- namos, and just to the south and a little forward of the fly-wheel of the big engine is a small accessory en- gine of 100-horse-power, used for run- ning rotaries and other small machin- ery when the big engine is not in use, On this smaller engine are two fly- wheels, In the engineroom at the time were Mr. Smith, chief engineer; who was on day duty, William Webb, assistant engineer, having just entered to go on duty for the might. Dr. Horsey instructed the engineer to start the hig engine at nine o'clock and then turned to speak to Mr. Tel ford. Emgineer Smith reached over to the valve, and was in the act of turning off the steam when the swiit- ly revolving fiy-whee]l burst, wrecking the engine room in an instant. H.ovken pices of iron shot in every direction, twisting the iron girders = supporting the roof and tearing large rents in the sheet-iron roof itself, One section of the wheel was carried a hundred yards from the buikling. The lor inch pulley ropes in some jnetplivle man- ner were wrenched from the driving wheel of the big engine, windows were burst out, the floor sprung ari bhulg- el up in many places, making a wreck of the interior of the engine room that Leggars description. Recovering from the terrible shock, W. P. Telford and engineers Smith and Webb were horrified to see Dr. Horsey lying on the floor with a terrible "gash in the,.skull, through which the brain protruded. He was still alive, though gasping feebly for Lreath. The other three occupants of the engine room miraculously escaped without a scratch. Medical assistance was telephoned for, but doctors pro- nounced the victim beyond hope of recovery. He was removed to the genoral and marine hospital, where he died at midnight. The news of the accident spread through the town like wiklfire, carry- ing with it sorrow beyond expression. Groups gathered on the business streets, and political views were sub- merged in regret for the prominent victim of the disaster. Mr. Telford believes he would have been killed but for the fact that Dr. Horsey stood hetween him and the engine. It is now noted as a coinei- dence, and the statement is well tablished, that while the doctor assisting in replacing a belt this tornoon, he remarked "This is unlucky day. I have been hurt lay every time | attempted to anything. | eanndt understand it." Mrs. Horsey, at Wingham, was noti fied of the accident to her husband. GREET BOTHA AND DELAREY. LL was af my to do Boer Generals Urge People to Work With British. Cape Town, July 24.--Gen. Botha and Gen.

At a meeting held in the Dutch Reformed church later, in thanking those present for the wel come extended to them, Gen. Botha said he wished to impress upon his heaers the nocessity for working hand in hand with the British, as South Africa was the only country they could eall home. Gen.

Some Of the Troops Here fo-day --Reception To-morrow. Hurra for the empire makers! Hurrah for the brave Canadians ! Hurrah for the gallant Kingstounians who won renown im South Africa! Ten of them reached home at one o'clock, to-day and about twenty more are following. Owing .to the uncer tainty as to the hour of arrival of the returning troops, only a few thou sand citizens assembled at the Grand Trunk station at one o'clock to-day, when ten of the returning veterans were extended a hearty welcome. It was supposed, s from telegrams receiv that the returning troops would not reach the city until about half past three o'clock, and the majority of citizens accepted this information as correct. At a late hour, however, word was received that ten of them would arrive at noon on the regular train. Though the notice was short, vet a large crowd assembled to welcome the bome-coming veterans. As the train steamed into the station mayor Shaw, Col. Montizambert, D.0.C., Col rary, C.B., Col. Duff, Edw. J. B. Pense, M.P.P., Alds. Graham, Farrell, White, Walkem, Bell, and a thousand or two citizens were on hand to ex tend a hearty welcome to the return- ing heroes. A few minutes later the men of the R.C.F.A. marched up to the station, but were informed that the formal reception had been post- poned until Friday at one o'clock, The 14th regiment was also to parade but a telephone message put a stop to the turn out. To-morrow at one o'clock all the local troops will be on hand to extend 5 fitting welcome to *the Kingstonians. Those who landed to-day at noon were Surgeon Lieut.-Col. H. R." Duff, Sergts. Eby and Fergyson, AM.C,; troopers H. Guy, W. Guy, R. Moore, J. Bowman, K. Cameron, R. Kearns, Corpls. J. Kearns and J. Franklin. At half past four o'clock eight more valiant troopers were billed to arrive by the K. & P. railroad, having miss ed the first train at Montreal. The scene at the station was one of sup pressed emotion. Friends and rela tives of t home-coming troops thronged the platform; there was a hurried welcome and the different troopers were hustled into cabs and quickly driven away. Keen disap pointment was expressed at the non arrival of the remainder of the King stonians, some twenty in number. A consultation took place between mayor Shaw, the aldermen and Col. Montizambert, when it was decided to postpone the formal welcome until Friday at one o'clock, when all the local troops and citizens will be pre- sent to tender a fitting welcome to all the returning veterans. The pro- gramme now laid out includes a par- ade of all the troops to the city hall, where swords of honor will be pre sented to Surgeon-Lieut.-Col. Duff and Capt. W. Bruce Carruthers, At the same time mayor Shaw will read an address of welcome to the return- ing veterans. The procession will af terwards he reformed and parade the principal streets. The gwo local bands will take part in the ceremony. The citizens and merchunts are respectiul- ly asked to decorate their premises in honor of the homecoming soldier boys.

Col. Duff looked carefully after a chair which he secured from the former residence of Paul Kruger, in Pretoria. It was onge a cane bottomed chair, with a stout frame, but the cane having long since worn out, the bottom was cov ered by a net work of stout leather thongs; alderman Walkem, an au- thority om antique furniture, express ed t conviction that part of the frame was made of Canadian maple and part of English oak, while , the bottom was covered with thongs | of giraffe hide. He refrained from ex pressing a possible value of the chair Trooper Frederick Sutherland tele- graphed that he was one of the 260 soldiers left in Halifax, but would start for home this mornine. He will likely reach here Friday at noon, along with Capt. Carruthers and a dozen other Kingstonians. Hospital Sergt. George Ferrier and trooper Davies are two of those left behind.

No Revival of Industry Until Mi- asma of Fear Which Paralye- ed Every Nerve of National Life Is Repudiated by People and Repressed by Government. London, July 24. ~The house commons last night entered on a series of Irish debates. When the esti mates for Ireland came up for discus sion John Redmond, chairman of the Irish parliamentary party, moved the reduction of the salary of the chief secretary, George Wyndham. Mr. Redmond maintained that Mr. Wyndham had done nothing for the country and that the Irish problem was more dangerous to the empire to day than it bad been for a quarter of a century. Mr. Wyndham, of in refuting this as sertion, declared that he could at present offer no constructive policy and maintained that there could be ng, cessation of agrarian strife, no revival of industry and no staunching of the flow of emigration, and the union must become intolerable to the union ists ana the ioea of home rule impos sible even to those who cherished it unless and until the desolating cess of social prescription and miasma of fear which penetratea and paralyzed every nerve of national life were repudiated by the good sense of the people and repressed by the power of the government. Mr. Wyndham's accusation that T W. Russell (liberal unionist), member for South Tyrone, palliated disorder during the De Freyne evictions brought out a heated demial from Mr. Russell and lengthy exchanges be tween himself and Mr. Wyndham. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Invitation To The Strikers. Kingston, July 24.--(Te the Edit or): So much misinformation has lately been published concerning the strike at the locomotive works and the importation of Scotch machinists, that we ask the use of your columns to correct these mis statements The strikers have informed the newspaper repurt'rs that the Scotohmen employ ed hy us were deceived; that is to say, they were not informed of the ex istence of the strike, and did not know of it until they arrivid at Gan anoque and met a committea of the strikers. Again, we are told that they are kept as "prisoners" on Sim coé island without liberty to leave it and that the company is afraid to give the strikers an opportunity of prasenting their case to these Scotch machinsts, lest the men should de- sert in a body. In the first place, so far from de- ceiving these men at the time they were engaged, Mr. Tandy not only in formed them that there was a strike on here and that they were being en gaged to take the place of the strik ers, but also explained to them fully the position of affairs, and, at their request, inserted a clause in the writ ten contracts which exist between the company 'and these men, that the company would guarantee them pro tection from the molestations or an noyances which might come from the striking machinists. Now, if these men did not know that there was a strike. on here, was there any neces sity for this clause in their contracts? As to these men being prisoners on Simcoe island, such a statement is ab solutely absurd. The company made arrangements for their entertainment at Simcoe island, simply to carry out the clause of the contract above re ferred to, and to insure that they should not be annoyed in any way by the striking machinists, who, ever since this strike began, have been "picketting"' our works, stopping men coming to work, and, by threats ana persuasions, endeavoring to per suade them from doing so. In case one of Our men was vic iously as saulted by strikers, ana it was to in sure against gu repetition of such out rages, as well as the men against the annovance of being fol lowed gbout the streets, that we made the arrangements we have done. So far from these men being prisoners on Simeoe island, any one, or all of them, are at perfect liberty to leave there and take wp quarters in the city whenever they choose to do so Anyone who has seen these Scotchinen can tell at a glance that they are not the men to be kept prisoners by us or anybody, and it is an insult to them to imply that such is the case. As to the charge that we are afraid to allow the strikers to present their case to the Scotch machinists, we have this to.say : On Saturday last two of the striking machinists came to Simece island and ende to land surreptitiously on the rear of the island. They were seen by some of the people there and ordered off, but shortly afterwards the writer saw them, invited them ashore, and asked them to state their cas to the Scotch men present. However, lest the indi vidual present was not the best quali fied for the presentation of the case, we have this day sent to the sec retary of the striki machinists an invita. tion, asking ws Eo they should send anyone, or all of their committee, or their viee-president, Mr. Holes, whois, we understand, is in town at present, to Simcoe island any even ing that way suit theft 'convenience, and talk to these men to their heatt's content. We will afford them ever facility for doing so and tranepocd tion there and back. It wems to that this should be a preferable means of converting these mem to that which the strikers have adopted in cases of other men coming to work in these Ships, | and we hope our in vitation will .
