Kennedy of Ports- mouth, Retires With a Wonderful Record. 'With the longest service record in the history of Canadian penitenti- arjes Michael J. Kennedy, the genial messenger of the big Portsmouth penitentiary, laid aside his uniform Monday and will enjoy a well-earn- ed rest. Warden Ponsford, in conversation with the Whig, stated that it was the most splendid record on the books of any of the imstitutions. He said that Mr. Kennedy is now on, leave of absence until June 30th, 1926, and will retire after that date, with over fifty-two and a half years of contin- uous performance of his duties to his credit, Michael Kennedy started in the - Nn tin ------n. + ) penitentiary service at the age of] fifteen years. As he grew older he was advanced to higher positions and | over forty years ago was given the | position of messenger in succession to the late John Swift. Since the founding of the penitentiary only these two men have held the poe tion of messenger. Mr. Swift was | appointed in 1835 and served forty- nine years. He was succeeded by | Mr. Kennedy in 1884 and he has held the position ever since, attend- ing to his duties with efficiency and fidelity. Hundreds and hundreds of men released after serving terms, have been conveyed to the trains by Mi- chael Kennedy and given a "God! speed" and a hearty handshake. | Some of them, alas, have had the | | experience more than once, but even | the most hardened remember the | { kindly messenger with thankfulness j tor the cheery manner in 'which he started them on the road once more, ~~ in. his: native village of ~"Ports« mouth, Mr, Kennedy has served on the council so many times that Portsmouth Council would seem no council at all without his name an the list. Because of the fact that he is still on the list of officers and will be so until June 30th next, Mr. Kennedy, who was first formally taken on the list on April first, 1872, will have completed fifty-three years and three months of service. "Mike" is known as the original Portsmouth Philosopher and there are few Kingstonians unknown to him.

FRANK CARVELL friends. In the House of Commons, where he held a seat for fifieéh years, first as a supporter of the Laurier Govermenf, then as a mem- ber of the opposition under the lead- ership of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and later as minister of public works In the Union Goverment of Sir Robert Borden, Mr. Carvell won the reputa- tion of being a hard fighter, but one open and above board. "Fighting Frank" was the name by which many olf his political friends and enemies knew him, and his qualities as a de- bator and administrator were re- cognized and respected. Mr. Carvel was born at Bloom- field, Carleton county, New Druns- wick, on August 14th, 1862. He was of Loyalist descent. His father, A. Bishop Carvell, was a native of New Brunswick, and his mother, Margar- et Lindsay, of Ulster stock. He re- ceived a public echool education, and then attended Boston University, graduating from that institation with the degree of bachelor of laws. He read law with L. P. Fisher, of Woodstock, N.B., being called to the bar of his province in 1890. His Political Career. The political career of Hon. F. B. Carvell opened in 1899 when he was elected a member of the législa- ture for the province of New Bruns- wick. He retained his seat for but one year, however, resigning it to contest Carleton county for the fed- eral House in the Liberal interests in 1900. In this tion he was de- feated, but four ye later he was successful and gained the seal which he was to hoki without in- terruption for fifteen years.

The fire started on the second floor and in the southwest corner as far as can be ascertained and by the time the firemen arrived the flames had spread through the second and third floors and were making rapid pro- gress through the ancient and dried | wooden interior of the building Jeav- ing the most of the ground floor im- mung and breaking out with their full force in the top floor and the roof. The old rafters and shingles made good food for it and it was a roaring furnace in a few minutes, emitting showers of sparks and burn- ing embers which travelled several hundred yards around. There was a slight wind from the east and it fan- ned the blaze into greater activity, while a fortunate rain and slate in check the burning brands which dropped on the build- ings about. Two lines of hose were immedi- ately strung from the large motor pumper and got to work at once. The lines were later i: reased on the pumper and several more strung to hydrants about until eight streams in all were playing on the building but it would have taken a deluge to smother it. The lofty thick stone walls made it next to impossible to get at the fire properly and the double-glassed -windows had tobe broken with stones before the streams could be played through them, Fire Was Fierce. Attempts were made to raise lad- ders to the top storeys but showers of burning wood, tin and hot stones made it folly to persist. The west wall, with its few windows, allowed of one large ladder but so flerce was the fire at the top that the fighters could not approach the roof near enough to be effective until the structure fell in and a hose line was then run up. By seven-thirty the roof and the eaves had tumbled down and carried a large section of the top floor with them, spreading the blaze to the second floor and making the fight all the sterner. The weight of water tumbled in ceilings and rafters and spread ruin through- out the building. With several young men aiding him and under the di- rection of Dr. W. T. Connell, some of the most valuable books in the medical library and records of the office were saved by James Bews. They were in danger of being crush- ed by falling floors at any time but stuck to their task until there was rothing further that could be salv- aged. Shortly after eight o'clock the worst of the biaze was subdued and the firemen gave their attention to the outcroppings and the corners, and to drenching the smoking ruins and embers to prevent any possibil- ity of further outbreak. Their tasks kept them busy until after noon hour This is the third fire in that see- tion of Queen's University grounds within a short time. First the old Curling Rink went up in flames, then the Jock Harty Arena fell prey to the fire. demon early last spring and now the historic old medical building has gone. It contained the anatomy de- partment and dissecting rooms on the top floor, the Department of Pharmacology with laboratories and lecture rooms on the second floor and on the ground floor the Medical Lib- rary, Medical Registrar's office, cloak rooms, and, in the rear, at the west end of the building, the offices of the Athletic Board and the Technical Supplies stores. The basements were used as storerooms for "subs" and anatomical material, and for other supplies. The bullding was of thick stone walls with wooden staircases and rafters and wood shingle roof. The Old Medical Building was the oldest structure on the campus sav- ing only the Principal's residence. Queen's college, originally started in the downtown gection, was later moved to the lpresent Principal's re- sidence. was the former College of Physic- fans and Surgeons where many fam- ous men and women in the medical profession received their training. It later became affiliated with Queen's college and still later bee came the headquarters of the Medi cal Faculty of Queen's University, Only $385,000 Insurance. The building itself was insured for the small sum of $35,000 and can be assessed as a total loss. It could not to be replaced for four times that sum, Whether or not there was any insurance on the library's treasures or the office records seems indefinite but the Technical Supplies stores car- ried some insurance on their stock which is estimated somewhere around $3,000. An unfortunate feature of the af- fair is that the whole rugby equip- ment of the Queen's teams was so damaged by fire and smoke in {ts little storeroom off the Athletic Board offices that it is rendered use- less. . The cause of the fire has not yet been placed. It may have been light ning from the storm which was in progress or it may have been the explosion or spontaneous combustion of some of the chemicals In the laboratories or storerooms. On account of the storm and the darkness of the night very few eiti- zens knew of the blaze until it was all over. Comparatively few wit- nessed it while in progress but all during the morning and afternoom crowds viewed the tangled wreckage. Fireman Saunders Injured.
