documents, most pathetic phase of the
awful accident. They are letters from
home, penned by loved and loving ones
to the brave men who will never receive
them. Among them are several letters
from Capt Newman's relatives in Scot
land.
From these letters a partial list of
those on board was made up, supplement-
ed by all information which it was pos
sble to get from other sources. The
agents here will hold the letters in the
faint hope that some of them may be
claimed but in the light of present de-
tails it is regarded as hoping against
hope.
Those who wrote expecting their let
ters would prove welcome to the men on
board will wait in vail for replies. Only
the meagre facts in the press of the day
will chronicle their fate. Their suffer-
ings. mental and physical, before the
cruel seas claimed them, will remain un-
written tragedies. Meanwhile in Scotland
there are desolated homes. Widows and
orphans weep in Glasgow today. A tide
of unavailing sympathy goes out from ev-
cry heart in Canada, but genuine as it is
it will not lift the pail of anguish for
those who will never return.

Joseph Lessard, aged q years, took his
life about o'clock "Wednesday morn
ing in the waters Of the MeSSalonskee
stream, some distance this side of the
WaterviIe & Fairfield power house at
the lower part of the city. For over 10
years the deceased had been In ill
health and submitted to several oper-
atoms. He had recently returned from
Canada, where he passed the winter.
He told his mother about 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning that he was going
to the home of his brOther-in-laW, who
lives a few houses away and that he
had about one hour to live. His mother
nut little faith in his statements and
thought that he had gone to his rela-

and went to the home of her relatives,
but they stated there that he had not
been there. His mother fearing that he
had carried out his threat, sent her
son NAPOLEON in search. Search was
made through the surrounding terri
tory and as Napoleon Lessard was
passing along tine bank of the stream
he noticed 4 hat that resembled that

ploye of the Hollingsworth & Whitney
Co. City Marshal harrington took the
body from the water and deemed an
inquest unnecessary. The body was
identified and Immediately taken to his
late home on King street.
The announcement of the young
mans untimely end spread sorrow
throughout the neighborhoOd in which
he lived. as he was looked upon as a
great faFOrite among all who knew
him. He was a man with the best of
habits and strong member of the
st. Frances church. For several years
he conducted restaurant on Water
street, which work he was forced to
give up on account of his health. Last
winter he went to Canada for rest
and on returning about three weeks
age. he entered the employ of George
Pooler, who conducts a restaurant on
Water street. Last Saturday night he
complained of feeling I'll, stating to his
friends that his head troubled him.
1t is said that he several times made
threats of suicide, but his friends placed
little reliance in these statements. He
was quiet young man, seldom indulg-
ing in social events and remained the
greater part Of his leisure time at home.

years ago. He received the greater
