1t is with regret that we have to an
nounce the death of Mrs. Chas. Bump,
which occurred at her home, Saturday
afternoon, May II. A short time pre-
vious she contracted a nard cold, which
soon resulted in a severe attack of
pneumonia, and, although not consider
cd entirely out of danger from her first
attack, still at times so favorable were
the workings of the disease that strong
hopes were cherished for her recovery /;
and not until the day of her death did
the last ray of hope fade. She continued
to grow worse from the rising of the
sun and before the setting of the same

her spirit was ''safe in the arms of
Jesus During her sickness, which
lasted about thr C weeks, she often eX-
pressed a desire to get well. only If 1t
was her Savior's will, often saying
whichever way He directed would be
all right. Her example in her sickness
was none but a true Christians faith.
In trying to comfort her family. her
last testimony, after the voice had de-
parted. she pointed to the motto on the
wall which still speaks the words of her
heart, The Lord will Provide" In the
death of Mrs. Bump the community
loses a warm-heartcd. sympathizing
friend. whose efforts were ever ready
in all time of need, always being among
the first in cases of sickness or want
with a ready hand and a willing heart.
She was a member of the Congregational
church, a teacher in the Sabbath school
and an earnest member in the social
meeting. In her home those who knew
her best can testify that her absence will
be severely felt, and our hearts can but
beat in sympathy for him who has lost
a devoted wife, and for those boys who
will miss a faithful mother. The funeral

THE GRAND BANKS, HORROR.
The Deaths In the Recent Gale and the
Suferings OF the Survivors.
HALIFAX. Sept. 4.

HALIFAX, Sept. 4.
The first reliable information OF the loss of
life in the recent great storm on the coast of
N. S. has come to hand. Information has
been received of the swapping of schooner
Welcome of Lunenburg near East Cape, T.
E. l., and the wreck of schooner j. W. Rus
sci, in Malone bay, by which disaster nine-
teen lives were lost. The Welcome hove to
of the Cape at the beginning of the storm,
lowering both snchJe and tor several hours
rode safely on the sea-
Late at night however, when the gale be-
came more furious, the vessel began to strain
seriously and mountain waves strack her vlo-
lently and swept over her decks carrying
everything movable before them. Eleven
fishermen on board were at last compelled to
take to the rigging for safety. being unable
TO move or control the schooner. Aoout
three A. NJ. a wave of great size struck her
with disastrous violence and at the next mo-
ment she sunk carrying with her all on board.
One of the crew, young man named Spindle,
rose to the surface and fortunately fell 10
with floating spar from the wreck which he
seized and fifteen minutes later was carried
high and dry on East Cape. Spindle states
that after the schooner went down he saw
nothing of his comrades and all were I'M
doubredly drowned. The sunken craft lies
on her beam ends in 10 fathonls of water.
The schooner J. W. Russell of Malone
Bav, Capt Ernst. was on her way to Lunen-
burg with $50 quin;als of fish. The gale
came on her Wednesday evening, when about
sixty miles to the southeast of Sambro light,
and to increase her chances of riding through
safely she was brought to anchor. The wind
rapidly increased in strength and shortly
after darkness set in was accompanied by
thunder and lightning. About ten violent
gust struck the vessel and hove her on her
beam ends, the sea washing over her con-
tinuallv. Everything deck was soon
swept away, and the matches being stove ln
water in great quantities was shipped into her
hold, and the forecastle, in which the steward
of the schooner and a boy had takeE refuge,
was broken in and filled with water and its
OCCUPANTS persisted, being unable to make a
struggle for their lives. BY this time the
remainder of the crew had taken to the rig
ging, hoping to hold on until the storm was
spent, but one after another seven were car
ried away by the sea, and after heart rending
efforts to regain the vessel, sank before their
surviving shipmates' eyes.
Four only were left and these after many
terrible struggles were finally rescued by the
Gloucester fishing schooner Flora Delma.
They were afterwards transferred to the
schooner Elsie, and last evening arrived safe
at Lunenburg.

THE JAMES TRIAL.
Mrs. James in COurt-The Case TO go
to the Jury Wednesday.

GALLATIN, Sept. 4.
Mrs. Frank James, accompanied by her
little boy. made her first appearance in the
court room during the trial yesterday, and
took a seat beside her husband. The court
announced that each side would be given ten
hours in which to present arguments, which
will permit the case to go to the jury We'd
nesday neon. The court, on motion, ex-
tended the time of the defence to twelve
hours. The instructions for the State and
the defendant were then read. Instructions
for murder in the second degree does not
amount to much as it can only be retured as
separate from the robbery. The killing of
Mcmillan by any member of the gang while
pursuing robbery, if the defendant is be-
lieved to have been one of the party, is muir
der in the first degree. Instructions as to
the credibility OF the witnesses was very clear
and favorable to the defence, the jury being
instructed that the testimony of an associate
in crime requires corroboration to the extent
of certainty. w. ID. Hamilton, prose citing
attorney for his (Davis) county opened the
case for the State and spoke until the court
adjourned. John NJ. Glover will open for
the defence.

A SERIOUS OUTRAGE
Inflicted on Four British Vessels by
French Fishermen-An Investi.
CATION IN Progress.

ST. JOINS, n F., Sept. 4.
Admiral Cromwell OF the British flagship
Northampton, is engaged today at the scene
of the affair, in the investigation of a very
serious outrage recently inflicted on four
British vessels by gang of French fisher
men headed by shore captain at Cape On
cense, on the northeast coast of New Found
land, Early in August four British fishing
vessels came to the anchorage at Cape On
cense for the purpose of cod fishing. As
soon as they launched their skiffs the French
men ordered them to weigh anchor and quit.
They refused, when the Frenchmen com
menced to undo their sails, seize their boats
and oars and carry them to the shore. Hav-
stripped their vessels they next boarded the
schooner Comet. Capt Awkward showed
fight, delivering some lusty blows on the
Frenchmen, putting them to flight. The as
salants then turned on Capt. Awkward and
his crew with boat-hooks and gafts and Sc
verely maltreated them. They next stripped
his vessel. After two days elapsed a French
war cruiser arrived on the scene, and after
some time restored the sails and gears to the
vessels and ordered them to quit the harbor.
All four of the vessels remained under pro-
test. The people of Newfoundland are in
dignant at this violent outrage and it is not
unlikely that it may lead to International
complications.
