tail end Lawrence team In a splendldly
played game. The audience was small,
but Il was given good polo from the start

The Lawrence team played Schoield at

was at center. The new combinauo
worked admirably. Schoheld was ex-
ceedingly fast and Hayes and McGilvray
played a perfect defence game.
Lowell got the first two goals and these
after some very hard play. Then the
ball rolled with the visitors and McGn-
vray. Turner and Schoheld captured four
straight and had a commanding lead be-

Lawrence landed another goal and had

The work of Burgess was admirable. He
was bomba rded from all points and he
booted out the drives with skill and pre-
cision. lie had more than double the
number OF stops that Mary Ann Tibbetts

all over the neighborhood.
The distillery management estimates
their financial loss at fully $4,000,
and it will be some weeks before the
plant can be repaired sufficiently to re.

assist in the work Of rescue.
James McManus, an employe of the
plant, was killed instantly. James
O'Keefe was still alive when removed.
He was badly burned all over the body

few moments after his removal to the
Cottage hospital. Henry Newell, the
assistant engineer of the cookery room
was then taken out. He was instantly
killed. George Schaffer, boy 1f

out, but died on the way to the hos
pital. He was scalded all over the
body.
An unknown has been taken to the
hospital in an unconscious condition
and there seems to be no hope for his
recovery.
Owing to the network the search OF
the bodies is attended with the utmos'
