Baird, formerly of Markdale, but for the past couple of months engineer at the furniture company's sawmill here, met with a painful accident on Saturday moruing last. He undertook lo start the sawmill engine, and in some way a valve was blown off which allowed the escape of a heavy pressure of steam, which scalded Mr, Baird considerably about the arm*, chest and face. Last week we referred to Mr. Abraham s wmdloliurM falling into the river and being rescued. We thought at the time it was purely accidental, but now we are of the opinion that he meditated suicide, as he drowned himself yesterday about noon in what is known here as ''Morl'its hole" where a number of drowning accidents previously occurred. He wa 8 living with his daughter, Mrs. Charles Proctor, and was missed about midday A couple of hours later his body wus di- dovered floating on the water by a couple of 'boys. Mr. Abraham Orutohley had an old- fashioned barn railing on Monday after- noon, and everything went well till the racing; contest wa well under way when an accident occurred in which three or four men were injured to some extent. In putting up one of the purline plates, the timber slipped back, and that so few should have been injured is almost mir- ^ulons The piece of timber, as we Understand it, had a rope attached, and I wa? pretty well up, when it slipped back ;n some way. Elias Edge, jr., had his wrist broken, and Walter Middletown Hiiitained injuries, and a couple of others were more or less hurt. Chronicle.
