Mr. Milroy, accompahied by Pat- rick Dwyer, Eganville, was driving in a buggy to Eganville to meet his wife who was visiting her mother there. The railroad track on either side of the crossing is obscured, : nd £ was not until they ware almost on top of the crossing that Mr. Dwyer noticed the freight train approaching. He jumped out of the buggy, and escaped unhurt but Mr. Milroy, thinking that he could reach the crossing before the train, whip- ped ug the horse and raced with the train. The engine struck the bug. in the middle of the 'racks. Mr: Milroy was hit by the cow catcher and dragged along until the train was stopped within its length. The horse was slightly injured. When ke was picked 'up Mr. Milroy was dead. Dr. M. J. Maloney was summoned. The body was brought to Egan- ville and an inquest held by Coronor Dr. Galligan, The verdict of the jury was that death was ecciden'al. - During the noon hour there were three automobile collisions.

An nm CLOTHESLINE STRIPPED BY A KIND NEIGHBOR But Owner Believed She Had Been Robbed and Tele- phoned Police. The telephone at police headquart- ers gavd¥ a sharp ring early Thurs- day morning. "Some person stripped my clothes- line during the night," said a woman, whp stated that she lived on Sixth Street. "I wish you would see If you can get any trage of the things stolen." The woman stated that the cloth- ing, for the most part, was made up of children's wearing 'apparel. The constable who' answered the telephond call, made a note of the theft, and promised that the matter would be given attention. Shortly after the complaint was received the lady telephoned again: to say that the lost had been found. It appears that one of her neighbors took all the clothes off the line dur- ing the night, thinking that they might be stolen, and had them in safekeeping. v A MINSTREL SHOW. Given in O'Rielly Hall, Rockwood Hospital, Wednesday Evening. A pleasant entertainment took wood hospital, when the employees entertained the patients to a minstrel show, O'Reilly hall was crowded with an appreciative audience. : Many amusing jokes were "crack- " on the officials and employees, hich were greatly efijoyed by the large crowd present. Numerous songs were given by members of the troupe, which were also greatly appreciated. Those singers were Dr. Houston, Messrs. Beardsall, Hill, Nuffly, Par- doe, Camm, Smith, Vanasky, Millbor: "Mr. Johnston" and Mrs. Gilmour, who took the part of his wife, put on a very amusing sketch of "Married "Life." Mr. Flowers as the interlocu- tor, and Messrs. Nicholson and Smith as "Bones," Messrs. Jenkins and Hill and "Tambo" played their parts to place on Wednesday evening at Rock-] the well meaning young husband, who through no fault of his own gets into all kinds of "hot water," Zane as his very charming young wife, and the balance of the company im their various pants, £0 to make up a per formance that ds well up to the stand- and of their usval productions. Miss Florence Wint.rs, a clever and talent- éd young actress, will be introduced to Kingstonians his week. This biil will be presented tonight, Friday and Saturday with o special matinee on Saturday. --Advt. "Voice from the Minaret."

"The Voice from the Minaret' which is entirely mew to the Amferican con- tinent, ran for an entire year at the Globe theatre in London to-absolute capacity. The appeal of Robert Hich- |! ens is universal for two reasons. He calls from the east, a call which is lost to few; and the breath of truth touches his philosophy, a fragrance perhaps caught dy his artistic soul from the great Spirits who spoke the divine message from the holy praces of the East. From the prologue to the last act, this allure permeates every line of his great play, 'I'he Voice from thé Minaret."--Advt. At The Strand, Eugene Pallette enacts the role of Bob Reynolds in Metro's forthcom- ing all-star production of "Fine Feathers," by Eugene Walter, which will be seen tonight at the Strand | Theatre. "Robert Edeson created the part of Bob Reynolds in the stage produc- tition of the Walter play several sea- sans ago, and it is a curious fact that Mr. Pallette is.a double in ap- pearance for that actor both in fig- ure and features. This resemblance is so marked 'that Mr. Pallette has many {limes been reminded of it by friends and acquaintances. Mr. Pallette's first engagement af- ter his discharge from the service was in "Fair and Warmer" with May Allison. He felt that he was not at home in comedy roles; he preferred dramamtic parts, to which he had been accustomed, But he was an in- stant hit. He followed it with Red Jocelyn, the yegg in "Alias Jimmy Valentine," and then Reggie in "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," arf ad- aptation of the A, H. Wood's suc- cess by C. W. Bell and Mani Swan. --Advt. Fair Mayoralty Candidate. In "Woman's Place," the latest Constance Talmadge feature, which will be shown @s a First National at- traction at the Allen Theatre to-day, the authors, John Emerson and Anita Loos, have depicted the feminine temperament in a manner that is true to life, Connie is , shown running for mayor, and Aypnotizing her audi- ences with her dazzling smile and georgeous gowns. She manages _to get the votes of practically every man in the city ,and, as a candidate of the | woman's party, is counting on ths votes of her sex. But, alas, women don't do things according to programme. Jealousy creeps in---and, worhan- like, the women vote for the man candidate. --Advt, Hurricane Hutch, . Zip! Zowie! Whisz-Bang!
