GIVES BLOOD T0 BROTHER BRANDON ASYLUM BURNED A despaitch from Brandon, Mani- toba, says: The Asylum for the Inâ€" sane, which housed over six hun- dred patients, was completely de- stroyed by fire, which was discov- ered at 5.30 on Friday afternoon. So far as could be learned at a, late hour on Friday night not a. life was lost. the heroic Work of the guards and other members of the staff havâ€" ing resulted in the saving of every one of the unfortunate inmates. Screaming an’d shouting, the hun- dreds of insane were safely herded out of the doomed building just in time to keep them from becoming ._ a prey to the flames, but the real \task of the guards and others en- ‘szued when the niaddened unfortu- nates found themselves in the open {and started a stampede in every di- 1§'ection. MosL of them were soon quieted down, and stood shivering Pin the piercing cold wind until rounded up and driven into the sheds and stables awaiting their removal to better quarters. The Six Hundred Inmates Were Saved, But Some Hurt Hundreds of citizens, who soon arrived on the scene in every avail- able automobile and vehicle in Brandon, assisted in the unpleasant task of chasing tne patients and bringing them back. The great majority of the unfortunates are safely housed in the Winter Fair bfiilding and the Armory, but a number are still missing, 'and guards and police are scouring the prairie in évery direction. George Smith, Engineer, Instant- ly Killed. A despatch from St. Thomas says: 'A fatal collision occurred on the Wabash Railroad at. Corinth Station on Friday night, resulting in the in- stunt death of Engineer George Smith, of St. Thomas. The fireman escaped by jumping. Several cars were detailed and piled up, and traffic was blocked some hours. An open switch is given as the cause of the tragedy. Smith, who was one of the oldest railway men in the citv. was in his 66th year. He leaves a widow and grown~up family. The City Adopts Commission Form of Government. A despatch from Port Huron, Mich., says: The voters of Port Huron on Saturday adopted the new chart-er provided for in the home rule_bill, thereby putting their stamp of approval on the commisâ€" sion form of government. The new form of government will go into efâ€" fect January 1. Port Huron is the first Michigan city of size to take this step. PORT HURON’S NEW CHARTER Contagious Diseases Increase, but Mortality ls Less. A despatch from Toronto says: Deaths from contagious diseases in Ontario are decreasing, although the number of cases reported are on the increase. Returns made to Dr. McCullough, Chief Health Ofii- car of the province, show that dur- ing October there were 1,226 cases of contagious diseases. with 226 A despatch from Toronto says: By means of the surgical operation known as “transfusion of blood” the life of Norman Allen of Sutton, 0nt., was saved at the General Hospital on Wednesda" afternoon. Young Allen, who had the main artery in his leg severed some days ago as the result of an accident with a. chisel, loss so much blood that his system became impoverish- ed and the wouno would not heal, even under the care of the doctors at the hospital. Heroic Act-ion of 3 Sutton Boy Saves the Life of Relative The amputation of the injured leg was an imposslbility owing to the devit-alized state of the ymmg man's body, and it seemed ‘33 if his life must gradually ebb away in spite of ynedical preventives. It was final-{1y decided as a last reâ€" souree to restore life to the dying, DEATHS AKE DECREASING. COLLISION 0N WABASH. Just how the fire started is still a matter of conjecture. but there are apparently wellâ€"authenticated .rumors showing that one of the paâ€" tients secured a- supply of matches and set fire to the mail building, the blaze gaining considerable head- way before being discovered. The alarm was sent into the Brandon fire department at 5.20, and the whole brigade turned out to the asylum, which is on a. hill 3, mile and a. half away from the centre of the city. deaths, while in October last year, \there were 1,142 cases and 331 deaths. Of the cases last month 46 were of infantile paralysis, with eight deaths. When the fire was first; noticed a terrible panic ensued among the patients, and the guards had their hands full trying to Control the un- fortunates. Nothing was done at first to combat the fire. as all rea- lized the terrible necassity of get- ting the patients out of harm’s way. 1- LL- VAub uuu Wynn..-» -, The scenes in all parts of the building could not have been dupli- cated outside a mad house, and the remarkable .escape of all in the building is ascribed to the splendid work of the guards and the stall, and the heroic work of several of the patients, who seemed to realize the danger and remained cool. Others too dense to realize their danger acted so calmly as to allay the growing panic. A number of patients were injured in their hur- ried flight from the burning build- ings, but, so far as can be learned, none seriously. A Great Guessing Contest is Now in Progress. A despabch from Winnipeg says: Estimating the population of Winâ€" nipeg is once more the popular game, and guesses’q‘un all the way from 175,000 to the even 200,000. Canvassers working for the Hender- son Directory are credited with stat- ing that ten thousand new names will be added to the citv directory this year, which would bring the population to 195,000. Civic offi- cials who are closely in touch with such matters are confident that the ofiicial figures will be over 175,000. A Boy Named Joaeph Carter lu- staiitly Killed.‘ A despatch from Cornwall says: A sad fatality occurred about three miles east of Lancaster on Friday, when Joseph Carter. the fifteen- yearâ€"old son of Mr. Thomas Carter, was almost instantly killed by the accidental dischmge ofs doubleâ€" barreled gun which he had seizcd by the muzzle to remove from the beat in which he had been hunting ducks. He had just reached shore, and was removing the gun from the boat when the trigger struck, sending the contents of both barrels at 1 point blank range into young Cai‘tbr’s body. He fell almost at the ice; of his father, and expired in a few minutes. man by transfusing enough healthy blood to his body to help him fight his way back to styength. Allen’s younger brother decided to take the great risks of blood- poisoning and give of his life’s sup- ply to help rest-ore his brother to health. Accordingly a quart of blood was allowed to flow_ from the brachial artery in the arm of the younger to the same artery in the arm of the older brother. The re- sult was marvellous. Both boys survived the operamon and Normanl Allen on Wednesday night was re-: ported by Dr. ‘J. N. E. Brown at the General Hospital to‘ be doing; aplendidly. He will again have the we of his leg, which it was thought would have to be amputated. It was the first, time that such an op- eration was performed. in Toronto. TAKIXG GUN FROM BEAT.

A de‘spatch from Sarnia saysl The most serious trouble which has yet arisen out of the violations of game laws by Americans along the St. Clair River occurred opposite Corunnaâ€" at daylight on Saturday morning, when Provincial Constable Thomas Acton of Sarnia- and Coun- ty Constables Thomas Davidson and .Henry Smith of Corunna made two arrests. The men had two magaâ€" zine guns and several ducks. One of them pointed a gun at the con- stable, but dropped it when orderâ€" ed. Acton took tne two prisoners in their own boat, and Davidson and Smith were to follow. The boats became separated in the cur- i‘ent,, and one of the prisoners struck Acton over the head with an oar from behind, and the boat was headed for the American shore. Ac- ton was unable to reach for his re- volver, but attacked his assailant- with his fists, and in the struggle both men fell into the water, and ‘the third man clung to the over ‘turncd boat, crying for help. The ‘In-en floated quite a. distance be« lfore Davidson’s boat arrived, and lthe‘ American was completely ex- hausted. Acton furnished the pris- oners with clothing at C(mmna and brought them to Sarnia. They gave ltheir names as William Jones and lEdward Suisse. residents of St Provincial Constable Acton Has a Stiff Battle. TORONTO HUNT CLUB BURNED Clair, Mich. Fine Structure Falls Prey to Flames on Sunday Morning.

Nothing could be done to save it, and soon only the walls, or part of them, was stand- ing. The loss of building, (Natalia and trophies, the latter alone valu- ed at $10,000, will foot, up to be tween $40,000 and $50,000, said to be largely. if not» altogether, inâ€" sured.
