Mrs. Hanmer had decided to spend Christmas in Toronto with her daughter. Mrs. Geo. Blackmore, and was leaving by the 5.30 train for the city. Mr. Hanmer assisted her into the train. but be- fore herhad made his way through the crowd-` ed aisles and car platform the train was well under way towards Allandale. He stepped off the car. still holding to the car hand- railing As his feet did not touch the ground his legs swung towards the train, his feet crossing the track. Several oar , wheels passed over them, severing the right one nearthe ankle and crushing the ankle and heel of `the left so terribly that it had to be amputated shortly afterwards in the hospi- tal. Mrs Hsnmer was stopped at Allandale with the terrible news and returned at once to hgunfortunats husband. Saturday was Mr. anmer s sixtveighth birthday. and it was feared his age would prevent his sur- vival of the terrible shock. He has, how- `ever, been holding his own until. yesterday, when symptoms of lock-jaw developed. A consultation was summoned"and he is con- sidered to be in a very critical condition. , BIUII UUIIIB UUHVI vu \1|lIVVI' CIU ulw Ivwluvuvvg lArdraven.. `Theivenerable gentleman is among the very oldest of Senators. and there is probably no other man in Canada who, like him, has served the public for nearly sixty years.
