A despatch from Toronto says: Thomas Davidson, employ-ed as a win- dow cleaner at the Traders Bank build- ing, had his head completely severed from his'body by coming in contact with a' descending elevator shaft on Saturday afternoon. I-lis decapitated body fell from the ninth floor to the bot-tom of the building, leaving the head resting on a cross-beam. Davidson was working at the windorvs from the top of an elevator, which he lowered as he worked. The weight attach-ed to another elevator, which was running, descends. rapidly as the car ascends, and, as he leaned over at his work, the weight caught him on the back of the neck. No one was aware of the accident until a man in charge of a news stand on the ground floor heard the body strike the bottom of the shaft. T be head had to be carried down in towels to be placed with the. bOdy in the patrol wagon. Davidson was 23 years of age, and had only been a short time in the country. ._._._.1.._ FFRE IN PENITENTIARY. wâ€" Startcd in Binder Twine Department, But Was Noticed in Time.

Ile summoned aid, and the fire was subdued with little dam- age beyond scorching the woodwork and blackening the walls. Spontaneous combustion among the oil and waste about the engine is thought to have been the cause, as no fire‘had been in the building for four or five days.

A chpatch from Madoc says: A drowning accident occurred at Gilmour, about thirty miles north of here, on Wednesday afternoon, when three chil- dren of Mr. Norman A. Green, agent for the Anglo-American Iron Company for North Hastings, and a resident of this place, were drowned in Wadsworth’s Lake, where Mr. Green has been spend- ing the Summer with his family. On Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Green and one of the older boys, Percy, had gone out picking berries. Another boy, Ros- coe, was in the house putting the baby to sleep. On the shore of the lake, close to the house, was a new skiff, which Mr. Green purchased this summer. It is thought that the children got the boat into the water, climbed in, and pushed out from shore. When about 45 or 50 feet out, they capsized the skiff, which was very light, and as the shore is rocky and slopes away rapidly, they were thrown at once into deep water. Roscoe was the first to discover the accident. Having succeeded in putting the baby to sleep, he had gone out to join the others in their play, when he was horrified to see the skiff floating bottom upwards, and the children nowhere to be seen. The news of the drowning soon spread, and neighbors from miles around came to as- sist in dragging for the bodies. That of the little girl, Helen, was the first to be discovered. Her body was found about seven o’clock, three hours after the acci- dent. The body of Burnett was recovered at 7.30 the following morning, and that of Willie an hour later.

A dcspaich from Calgary, Alberta, says: Provincial Live Stock Inspector Creswcll is enthusiastic over the ap- pearance of the beef cattle which will be put on the market this fall. Iie has been through all parts of Alberta sev- eral times this summer and is now go- ing on another round. Last fall the ranges were swept clean of everything that would come near designation of "beef," and there was a banner ship- ment, about 75,000 cattle being cxporb ed Owing partly to this fact and also partly to the loss experienced last win- 1or on the open ranges, the shipment this year will not be nearly so heavy as last, but the condition of the cattle will be far superior, although last year’s grade of cattle was a high-class one. In Mr. Creswell’s opinion there will be between 35,000 and 40,000 head of cat- tle exported this season. Shipping has already connncnccd on a small scale, but the big shipments will not be put through for a month or two yet. a.â€" A TEN KILLED IN FRANCE. Fatal Collision Between an Express and Freight.

The insane prisoners were being marshallcd for bed when at a given Sig- nal they rushed into the big lower dor- mitories and slammed the doors in the faces of the guards. flaring locked the doors they proceeded coolly to set about making their escape by smashing the doors and sawing the bars. Some of the less violently insane, however, help- ed the jailers. Seeing that the struggling convicts could not be reached through the big steel doors, the guards turned on them from the windows streams of water from the fire hose. This kept them at bay but did not subdue them. The guards were finally obliged to use ri- fles and pistols, and it was after mid- night before the uprising was quelled.

I CORPSE IN OPEN BOX. A Mysterious Tragedy of the Algoma” Wilderness. A dcspaich from Toronto says: Cased" in an open wooden box a partially de- composed human body has been left ly- ir g in the waters of the Blind River, near: the town of that name, in the District of‘ Algoma. Such is the story told by letters, which have reached the Provincial Boardl, of Health. The epistlcs which have brought the’. affair to the notice of the authorities are}: dated about Aug. 16. Their writers as- sert that about two weeks before the‘ corpse of a murdered man was found.- lying in the bush at some distance from the town. A week elapsed and no action I was taken. Finally the remains, then ;~ somewhat decomposed, were taken 10' Blind River. There an inquest was held. The writer of one letter asserts that they body was then laid in a plain wooden box and placed in the river, about. three!- feet from shore “in accordance with theft orders of the coroner.” The correspon-i dent complains to the Board of Health, that the body has been placed in closet proximity to the town, and in the stream from which some residents drew, water supplies, and it is consequently a. menace to the health of the people. 4.-..â€" ROBBERY OF FRENCH GENERAL. Letter of Credit Taken From His Pocket; in Montreal. A dcspatch from Montreal says: A daring robbery was committed on Wed-:- ncsday, when General Dc Negrier, of Paris, a guest at the Windsor Hotel, was relieved of his wallet, containing a letter of credit for a large amount, while he was attempting to board a street car. General De Negri-er, who is wellâ€"known in French army circles, having had com- mand of the French troops in Algeria, is on a visit. to Canada. According to his story, he was followed to the Bank of Montreal, where he drew a considerable sum on his letter of credit, by those who eventually stole his wallet. After leav- ing the bank and while trying to board’.I a car, in. order to return to the hotel, he, felt himself pushed, but paid no par-, ticular attention to it. At the time wallet was in his right hip pocket, and; in the same pocket were the bank notes: and gold which he had just drawn from' the bank. Strange to say the thieves missed the money and got away with‘ the wallet, which contained the letter of credit, which is of no negotiable value except‘ to the general himself. â€"-»I«â€" A Stockholm paper says that Rudyard Kipling is to receive the Nobel literary prize for 1907.
