PROVIDED. Coroner's Jury Investigating Death of Robert Savage Asked that Mat. | ter be Brought to Attention of Railway Commissioners. "That Robert Savage came to bis death by being struck by a Grand Trunk - railway train at Rideau crossing. We, the jury, are strong- ly of the opinion that this crossing is an exceedingly dangerous one, and that steps should be taken at once to remedy this condition in the in- teresis of the public, and that a copy of this verdict be senf to the railway commission by the coroner." The above is the verdict which was rendered at 12.20 o'clock on Friday morning, by a jury summon- ed by Dr. D. BE. Mundell, coroner, fc investigate the sad accident of Wed: nesday night, when Robert Savage met his death by being struck by a train at Ridesu Crossing. Quite a large number = of witnesses 'were heard. The session opened at 8 o'clock and the taking of evidence was not concluded until after' 11 o'clock. 1 James Crawford was foreman of the jury and the other members were ichard Waldron, Willian Newlands, Richard Armstrong, W 4d. B. White, Ovila Beaudry, Alexan der McKee, Albert T. Campbell, Wil liam B. McKay, Allan M. Reid, J. H. Bell and E. OG. Barrett. Leo Lawless and James Martin, who drove over the crossing just be- fore Robert and! Arthur Savage, swore positively, that no warning such as the blowing of the whistle or the ringing of the bell on the en- gine was given of the approach of the train, while members of 'the 0 4 hat the whistle | was sounded and the bell rung. Leo Lawless was the first witness, about with loads of eails. Witness drove with James Martin in one rig, while Ar- thur and Robert Savage drove in an- other. The vehicles used were very heavy lumber waggons and each carried seventy bushels of oats. "My team was in front," witness said to. the coroner. "When we ar- rived 'at Cunningham's Corners, Robert Savage (the deceased), got off his wagon to get a box of match- es at Mrs, Berryman's store which is about 200 yards from the railway and the wagon with the Savage boys also continued. I stopped with- in tep feet of the crossing to see if a train wis coming, as it is a very bad crossing. There is some ob- struction which prevents a clear view of the track at the east side of the crossing. After my rig had stopped, Martin and I looked back. The Savage boys had come to a standstill about fifty feet away from us, . After stopping about a minute, we could not hear anything coming along the track. Arthur Savage asked me if it was all right, and 1 could see him looking down the tracks, 1 told him it was alright. We then crossed over the tracks and our rig was just over the nrossing, when the train went whiz- ging by. Martin said to me, 'we just escaped.' We looked back but ¢ould see nothing. Then Martin sald, '1 guess they must have heen struck.' ** - Witness afterwards told about go- bing Back to the railway crossing and findingsthe bodies of the two young men.

He was positive it had not been sounded. He did not hear the bell of the engine ringing. He certainly. would not have driven across the tracks had he been given any warning. Further than this, he could see no light on ths engine. Dr. W. G. Anglin told about the injuries deceased had received. Death had been due to a fracture of the base of the skull. Swore He Blew Whistle. Edward Ireland, engineer of train, said: "When we were ap-- Proaching the first crossing ny of v ideau crossing 1 gave the regu- lation whistle a started the bell ringing. There is a whistling post beyond this first crossing for the second crossing. The distance be- tween the whistling post and the crossing is one-quarter of a mile. 1 swear positively that I blew the whistle at the post for the second crossing. The bell also kept ring: | ing until after the accident occur: red." the Asked as to when he had first no- ticed the rig drive on to the cross- ing witness said : "I could not say just when. I guess I was about fif- jteen 'or twenty yards from the cross- ing. I st the engine as quick- ly as 1 oy I was travelling thir- ty-firve miles an hour. The head- ght of the engine was burning. Witness said the light on his en gine was burning until he arrived at Belleville, and he could give no rea- son why it could not he seen. He did not know of any obstruction. | James Martin, driving with Leo 'Lawless, -corroborated the latter's evidence. He' heard no whistle sound- (ed or the bell rang. He was in a (good position to hear as the wag- igon made very little noise. The view | at the east of the crossing was oh: | structed. J. E. Kerr, fireman on the train, | declared that he heard the whistle 'sounded for the crossing. He also | heard the bell ring. Mrs. Elizabeth Berrvman, who lives at Cunningham's Corners near scene of the accident, said she hoard one shrill whistle when the was close to the crossing. She had known of other accidents at this crossing. A Dangerous Grossing. Dr. G. W. Bell, who was a pas- fsenger on the train, said he did not think the bell had been sounded for a half mile approaching the crossing. He did not remember Iearing the whistle or the bell. Bernard Cunningham, of Cunning- ham's Corners, lockmaster at Kings- ton Mills, said he was at the scene of the accident. He did not know if the whistle had been sounded. "I think it is a very erous crossing from either side," he said. "I have driven over it all my life. When I am driving cattle, 1 always have to go ahead of them." L © Witness further - stated that his brother's buildings and a grade hid the view of the train. He would consider it a very dangerous cross- ing. . J. Splan, conductor on the train, said he koew the whistle had been sounded. The noise of the train might prevent the hearing of the bell. ; A. W. Elliott, a passenger on the train, said he was riding in the last coach. He did not take any natice as regards the sounding of the whistle or the ringing of the bell. James Fennell was another wit- ness, but he had unimportant evi- dence, Paul Langer, a youth, working for Edward Bradden, near the crossing, sald he noticed the train when it was half a mile away from his home. He heard the whistle blown for the second crossing, but not the first. The whistle was sounded just as the train was on the second crossing. He heard no bell. B. R. Merryman, baggageman on the train, did not hear the bell but he did hear the whistle, He heard the whistle sounded twice some dis- tance east of the crossing. He also swore the headlight of the engine was burning. Eli Caron, a G. T. Il. constable at the bridge at Kingston Mills, said that he knew that whistles were sounded at this crossing by the trains. He had no evidence to of- fer as regards the train on the night of the accident. Henry Walter, brakeman on the train, said he heard the whistle sounded, but did not hear the bell, as it would not be possible to do so. Edward Bradden, living near the crossing, was called at the request of one of the jurymen to get his opinion as to the character of the crossing. He said that there was a deep cut between the two crossings. This hid the view 'at the east side of the track. A person could met See a train. He said that the view was obstructed by a pile of lumber two hundred feet from the-Hideau crossing on the top of a hill. "Do you comsider it a dangerous crossing"? the witness was asked. | "Yes, 1 do," was the reply." "We | have tried to get our county council to petition the Grand Trunk rail- way to provide better protection." Witness stated that there was an obstruction of what he called a "snow fence' to within five hundred feet of the Rideau crossing. d The Power Question, The Utilities Commission = w Hl i > £23 | i the | train ! _ THE DAILY BRITISH DAY AFTERNOON James, and St. George's--The Re- sponses Were Liberal, The Women's Associations of Syd- enbam Street Methodist, St. George's and St. James' churches held sucoess- ful events at their respective Sunday school halls on Thursday afternoon.

P. R. A discovery which may mean much to the province of Ontario has heen made at Caledonia Springs, namely, that the waters of ome of the four springs is strongly radio-active. A recent visitor who had hitherto gone for his cure to the Austrian resort at Badgastein, was prevented this yea: Ly the war and fried the Canadian spring. He was 'struck by the simi larity of the waters which on test was found to be due to the presence of radium. The last official analysi: was made in 1903, befom the ramifica- tions of radium were fully recognized, but Prof.. Ruttan, of McGill, has been commissioned to make a new com: plete analysis. 'The value of a gen uine radium spring in Europe is cal culated to average from two to three million dollars, owing to the number of invalids who are attracted to such a spring, -- "Come." The word "Come' connected with three texts of scripture. was Mr. Stephens' subject in Broek street hall last evening. "Come Thou," Gen vii, 1; "Come Now." Isaiah i, 18.

To Discuss Military Training -- Queen's Journal Comment. There will be a mass meeting of Queen's students in Grant hall this af- ternoon, convened by Principal Gor- fon. Matters affecting military drill- ng and the formation of an army of- icers' training corps will be discussed. Regarding this . meeting, Queen's Journal says : "It is common talk throughout the university that there are twice as nany qualified officers volunteering for service already as there are places to ill. Under these ecircumstancés we should be glad to know what the ex- wt status of men volunteering for this service would be. "Especially would ' we like to know f any guarantee has been: given hy the militia department that the drill ng now heing undergone will be giv- en due consideration and an oppor tunity presented to men enlisting in the above corps, if thoroughly equip- ped, to proceed to the front on active service. "While we are in sympathy with ev. wy effort put forth to keep the peril and the needs of our country before the minds of her citizens there seems to us to be a grave danger of over- doing the efforts to arouse enthusiasm for military service, s "As thinking men, we believe just as soon as the definite need is presented, and a definite method of meeting that need proposed, without any further pressing our students will he found ready to do their duty." that LOW PRICES.
