A SURPRISE PARTY POPULAR YOUNG LADY— MISS MELVINA TOWNSEND IS GIVEN SURPRISE OF HER LIFE, BY HER FRIENDS. A BKQ>rise variety shower, given, by the various societies of the M. E. church Mibs Melvina Townsend, was a complete surprise as she was taken out for ride by her father and on her return surprised to find the house full of people, and after lighting up the parlor discovered the table and floor -full of. , presents. After all had been opened and admired, refreshments were served, and a . nice entertainment by Miss Tmilv . Mecray, pianist; Miss Elvira Rasmussen, ; of New York, soloist. Much merriment [ was provoked by the song "You'd better Ask Me," where instead of the name . Mary, Melvina was used. Then Miss , Melvina Townsend played an instrumental selection as by that time she was beginning to feel more like, her natural self. Miss Townsend will be very much missed a6 she has been such a faithful worker in the church. Among the reajly beautiful gifts received were, a cut glass vase, 1-2 doz. cut glass tumblers, table cloth, towels, beautiful embroidered pillow cases, and bean pots — enough to feed the entire 3 company when they go to visit her and l there were fifty all told — kitchen utenr sils in aluminum ware, and in a little I, unassuming flower box was bidden a \ $230 gold piece.

W& ELDREDGE j MEETS DEATH HORRIBLE ACCIDENT WHILE ON DUTY Iff tXJBALT MINE AT KERR l ' LAKE, CANADA. I b Mr. W. 8. (Sajttiej Eldridge, engineer at the Ken1 Lake mine, and Mr. ^ William B. JJoote, an American capitalist on a vifct to the camp^jere instant- c ly killed at the Kerr Laktf' property yes- v terday afternoon, when they walked f into a slope just as a blast which had 8 been prepared, exploded with terrific force. The bodies were badly mutilated; * The accident happened about four r o'clock and it was not until the night ' shift went on duty, three hours later, e that it was discovered the two men had 1 been killed by the explosion in the 8 gtope. They were missed st dinner time I but it was not thought then that they 1 had been in the stope when the holes were fired. One of the night shift men ? going there to work was astounded to (■ notiie a portion of a man's coat pro- ' trading from a pile muck, and he "at - once gave the alarm. Search revealed ' I the unfortunate victims buried by the 1 rock, but a portion of Mr. Foote's coat ! was visible. The mine officials were ' , at once notified and Dr. Kane, tfte cor- ' oner, was also informed. He proceeded I I to the mine immediately on learning ^ tlie sad tidings and examined the bodies. ( I -a ter the remains of Messrs. Elilridg^' j , and Foote were removed to MacNabb's. They will be sent south tonight after the inquest. Mr. Foote who was on a . trip to the camp before proceeding West, arrived at Kerr Lake on the two o'clock ' car, and, shortly afterward in company with Mr. Eldridge, went on a tour r through the mine workings. They had proceeded to No. 7 shaft and had gone * from the 190 foot level to the 225 foot ^ level on their way to the shaft, their intention being to reaaoend to the top. r\i.-out forty feet from where they came ' down from the 190 foot level there is ' a stope. the first over the drift, and e here preparations for blasting had just been completed. Before the two men | could get clear of the stope the' explosion occurred and both were caught , without a chance of escape. They must i have been- killed instantly. Ther bodies were bruised by the falling rock. Thp double tratredv created a painful painful ^

interest in the village at Kerr Lake where Scottie Eldridge was well known and universally liked. The flag is fly- R ing half mast on the main shaft house. _ The remains of Mr. Eldridge will be ^ shipped to his relatives in Philadelphis and the local Masonic Lodge, of which was a member, will escort the body from MacNabb's parlors to the train. While preparing the body, Mr. J. C. w McNabb discovered Mr. Eldridge's watch » which had stopped at 6.15. Apparently r< the time piece had kept going for some H ' time after the tragedy, as the men who w prepared the shot left the stope about a four o'clock and the explosion would ei j occur within a few minutes of their de- tl ( parture. k W. S. Eldridge, known to the camp as d , "Scottie" was exceptionally well known y in the Cobalt camp and also in the For- w . cupinc district. He has been at Kerr 5 Lake mine as mill boss and engineer fl j since September of last year. Previous- 1 j ly he had been engineer at the Wett- a e laufcr mine in South Lorrain and at the 0 General Development Company's proper- ® r ty in Porcupine. He was a keen sports-- tf" p man and was especially devoted to baseg ball. The Elk's team of the local league . had him signed up as a player for this season. A keen Mason, he received liis Third Degree at Silver Lodge, A. F. and A. IL, no later than last Monday night. ' "Scottie" was interested in a number of ^ 2 mining claims throughout the North ' country, afid he was a close personal * friend of "Billy" Woods, well known in • this district. Another great friend was 1 Tim Cawley, of the Coniogas, now of ' the Canadian Field Artillery, at the Y front. They roomed together for a time in the Bilsky block. Mr. Eldridge's ^ home is in Philadelphia. He attended the banquet given Dr. MacNair, of ( Houghton, in the Vendomc Hotel, at , HailenburV, during the past week. — The ( Daily Nugget. H. P. Billingham, of the Kerr .Lake , u Mine of Cobalt, Canada, who accompan- ; ied the remains of the late Scott EI- » dredge, to Cape May, in order' that it " would not be alone, is .receiving high M praise here from the family and friends 1 ir Z>f the deceased--He 5TW°f those ipen > • who makes the world better' iy liis be- £ ing in it. He lias won warm praise and ) exemplifies the meaning of the b "oth •

erhood of man by his thsughtfnlness | . pnd kindliness, and his devotion I to friends. The body was prepared fjr burial ~ht Oobalt by the Masonic Lodge, whose silver emblem is on the lid of the catkei. . , Seven beautiful->bouqueta were sent < from Canada wi^i thejmdy. These were laid out on the*hpx, and were in excel-"1 lent condition, and accompanied the to the grave. Besides flowers from numerous friends a three foot wreith of yellow rose buds and orchids came from a mining I club, also a hugh bunch of liles of the i valley, from a Haileyburv, Canada, i It required all the apace of one i automobile to carry the flowers." 1 The body arrived here on Monday, and | the funeral was held from the summer i rtt-idence of his parents in West Cap: May at 1.30 P. M., Wednesday. The fun- | eral cefemonies were in charge of the \ Masonic Lodge. Rev. C. 0.
