Washington Crandell Deaa Fire broke out in the house occu- pied by Washington Crandell on Friday morning of last week and the structure was badly damaged. For some time (since the death of his mother, Mrs. Elmore Crandelt) Washington has lived alone, and al- though his sisters made liberal provi- sion for him, he did not care for himself as he should and suffered ac- cordingly. Nobody knows how the fire was started but itis suspected that in building a fire in his stove, some sparks fell in the litter on the floor. When the peopie began to arrive Washington had exhausted himself by his efforts to pu: out the fire alone, and he had to be carried out of the house where he was lying in a semi- stupor. No other refuge being available he was taken to the town hall and given every care possible. While he was in a weak physical condition it was not thought this the trouble would end fatally. But on Saturday morning he suddenly collapsed and in a few minutes was dead. Washington Crandell was a notable figure in Port Perry twenty years ago; but of late vears owing to the fact that he became subject to fits it was difficult to secure employment and he would have fallen on hard times ex. cept for the g generosity of his sisters. Time was when he was as neat and particular in his dress as to become remarked for his carefulness in this matter. In these days he was in great demand at country dances where he officiated as violinist, Shipment of Molassine Meal just grrived.-- James Lueas. A Visors fo for the be- | grim tragedies | \ \ | H.
