Last year, our business men complained of telegraph messages not being sent on here, when the mail steamer arrived at the first telegraph port on her return from Labrador, upon a Saturday night or Sunday. It so happens that the messages were not received until the arrival of the mail boat here.

It was an unlooked for announcement on Friday afternoon, when it was made known that Mrs. Sarah RUTHERFORD, wife of our aged and esteemed townsman, Mr. Andrew Rutherford, had entered the dark vale of death, and had passed from it unto Life, at 1.30 p.m. that day. Mrs. Rutherford was 78 years of age, and was ill only a few days. Heart trouble seems to have been the cause of her death. Though ailing for several days and suffering considerable pain at times, her condition was not considered grave by the members of the family, and even when the dread messenger summoned her hence, her daughters did not realize that the end has come.

Mrs. Rutherford leaves a husband and two daughters, (Mrs. W Ward and Miss Mary Rutherford), and a circle of numerous friends, to mourn an irreparable loss. The deceased lady was the daughter of Mr. Thomas Moore of Dildo. She had just completed her 50th. year of wedded life, and her friends were hoping that several more years would be added to them. Mrs. Rutherford was widly known for kindness of heart, her womanly qualitites, her charitable disposition, and the deep interest she alway took in Church work and deeds of mercy. Truly, this was a good woman! Her “footprints in the sand of time” will be traced for many years to come, by those who are disposed to follow in her steps. The funeral takes place tomorrow at 4 p.m.

Many remarks concerning the improved condition of Glover Road have been heard since the return of the trouters, on the official birthday of the King. It will be remembered that for some years, parts of this road has been in a most wretched state, in fact, it has been impassable to carriages, cabmen refusing even double fares to travel along it. The writer has had occasion this week, to go over a part of the road for about 5 miles, and though he has in the past complained of the neglected condition of some of the streets and roads about town, he must confess, considering the amount of money at the disposal of the Road Board, that a very great improvement has been effected on Glover Road. Today a carriage can pass along it with comparative comfort to the occupants, in fact, a tyred carriage took a freight along it on Wednesday last.

A fine substantial bridge has been built some distance in on the road, and it only requires a rail for a short distance from it on both sides of the road, to make the locality all that can be desired. Never before has Glover Road been in such praiseworthy condition, and the money recently laid out on it was judiciously expended, so that one cannot help thinking that even Road Boards are capable of doing good work. The Chairman of the Road board, Mr. John C Walker, and the Inspector, Mr.John A. Ash, as well as those who bossed the work done, deserve the commendation of the public. The workmen, it is said, are very pleased with the treatment they received from the Board. When the allotted number of work day’s for each group of men had expired, the money coming to each man was paid him on the road, thus saving time and trouble to the men coming to town for their wages.

Glover Road runs from the Pine Track Road towards Green’s Harbor, T.B. and although not finished for about four miles, it is of immense use to the public at certain times in the year, if kept in repair. Cabmen also make a few dollars on this road in summer, as parties going in the country consider the locality a favourable resort. Let us hope that the improvement so noticeable on Glover Road, will be extended to other roads and streets about town.

This article is written because of the public improvement, which should be acknowledged when approval is justly deserved; but when neglect and apathy in connection with public works are manifest, the parties responsible to the public should be vigorously exposed.

CORRESPONDENT, Harbor Grace , June 29th 1907."

The landscape was splendidly verdant, and close by the Island stood majestically, an immense berg, symbolic we thought, of a white-robed messenger of gratitude, from Him to Whose Honour and Glory the beautiful Church was raised. Driving towards the Church, the road was lined by hundreds of people who gave a most enthusiastic reception to the Bishops.

On entering the Church, the Rev. Pastor showed the visitors around, and great was the admiration of all. It was almost incredible that in four short years, such a large structure could have been so perfectly completed. Its interior presents a fine and chaste appearance and its site commands a view of the whole Island. Interiorly it is most elaborately decorated, and a proof of the order and structural taste of the Pastor. Indeed, it reflects the highest credit on the industry and energy of Father McGrath, whilst it will be a monument of the good will and Christian generosity of the parishioners.

After luncheon, a short visit was made to the Mines, where the genial Manager, Mr. Chambers and his assistants, showed every kindness and made the visitors deeply grateful. The Dominion Co.’s plant was also visited, showing the enormous quantity of ore and the modern machinery used in the handling of same .

The ceremony of dedication was performed on Sunday at 10.30 a.m. His Grace and the Bishops, pontifically robed, preceeded by a procession, entered the Church and began that very touching rite of the dedication of a house of prayer, where God was henceforth to be worshipped and sought.

After the dedication ceremony, His Grace ascended the pulpit. and delivered a most beautiful practical sermon suggested by the morning function. The immense congregation was deeply moved and the august preacher entered their hearts by the simple, yet eloquent words that he uttered. The Church was packed, and His Grace made a deep impression on the whole congregation. His Grace took his text from II Paralipom VII. 12-26. “I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. My eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray in this place. For I have chosen and sanctified this place that my name may be there forever, and my eyes and my heart may remain there perpetually “.

His Grace spoke in part as fellows: “It is nearly three thousand years since Almighty God addressed those words to King Solomon, when he had completed the grand and magnificent temple of Jerusalem, and they are as appropriate today, as if they were now uttered for the first time. When I look around on the beauty and elegance of this splendid Church; when I rest my eyes upon its graceful outlines, its noble and staunch roof tree; its chaste and artistic altars, richly carved pews and rails; its devotional Stations of the Cross; its confessionals; its baptismal font, and everything in fact which goes to make up a perfect and completed Church of God fitted in every way for Divine Worship and the offering up of the most August mysteries of the Holy Catholic Faith; when I remember that only four years ago I laid the foundation stone of this edifice, and now behold it raising majestically in all its magnificent proportions, it seems almost like a dream or a magic vision that stands before my view. It tells of the wonderful zeal, perseverance and business qualities of your worthy Pastor, and will be an imperishable monument to his memory in future years.""

“I would not attempt to say that it rivals in material grandeur the glorious temple of Jerusalem, which was wonders of the world. A building which took nearly twenty years in construction, and in which nearly 200,000 workmen were employed, hewing the great cedars of Lebanon, excavating the mighty rocks from the quarries for the foundations and walls; but there is one thing we can boast without fear of contradiction, in which the Church surpassed a thousand times all the glories of the temple of Jerusalem, Almighty God said in the words I have read for you; “I have chosen this place as a House of Sacrifice.” We were told what were the sacrifices that were offered in the temple of Jerusalem; ‘And Solomon slew victims and peace offerings ... Two and Twenty thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep!’ But in this church you will offer no longer the blood of goats and oxen, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled... but the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost, offered Himself unspotted unto God (Heb. IX. 13). The sacrifice of the New Law, of which the old were but figures, the sacrifice of the Cross which is offered every time the Priest celebrates the Holy sacrifice of the Mass.""

“But while the Church will stand a monument to future generations of the zeal and energy of your worthy Pastor, he has erected a more noble and more worthy monument in the normal reform that he has established among you. He has, by his determined action, kept from among you, the poisoned demon of strong drink, thus preserving you from the ravages of this insidious monster, which if one allowed to raise its head among you, would cause speedy ruin and destruction in you.” Then His Grace invoked the blessing of God upon all and concluded his able discourse.

After the sermon, High Mass was sung by Rev. J.J. McGrath, the Pastor, with Rev. J. Ashley as Deacon, Rev. Dr. Whelan Sub-Deacon, and Rev, M. Power as Master of Ceremonies. The choir sang a very nice Mass, and their interpretation of it was highly creditable.

In the evening, confirmation was Conferred upon the children, and Benediction of the Most Holy Sacrament closed the series of religion festivities, which will long be remembered here by the Islanders. On Monday the Bishops and their Chaplains left for the city."

On Saturday it was stated in our columns that a Butcher of Hamilton St. had been blacklisted. It is hardly necessary to say that this had no reference to Mr. Patrick Casey, whose successful business and high personal reputation are so well known.

Master Willie Gould was operated upon Friday afternoon, for appendicitis by Dr. H. Cowperthwaite, assisted by Dr. Stentaford. The attack is a most acute one, and very sudden, as it was but a few days previous that Master Gould arrived from college for his summer vacation, feeling just as jolly as the other boys.

At 3.20 a.m. Monday, the spirit of Willie GOULD ascended to its maker at the youthful age of 17 years. On Sunday, after the second operation, it was seen all too plainly by the Doctors that very little hope could be entertained for recovery. Everything known to the profession was done for the prolongation of life, but sad to relate, the condition of the patient thwarted their best skill. Friends of the family were continually in attendance, especially Judge Penney, one of the executors of the Gould estate, who, at the request of the little sufferer, stayed by his bedside until the last. To the bereaved family sorrow and disappointment are seen at this time.

He is the same N.J.P. as of yore, and we feel sure his successor in the land of Uncle Sam is admired by his many friends.

The 26th was observed as a general holiday. The chief pastime of the day seems to be in the direction of Izaak Walton’s hobby. Very early in the morning a rumbling of vehicles could be heard conveying parties to the inland streams, and although the weather looked threatening, many ventured on their faith, and were rewarded in the enjoyment of basking in the rays of Old Sol, as well as landing a good catches of speckled beauties. An excursion to Bell Island had been planned by promoters the previous day, but owing to holiday seekers having made other arrangements for the day, the excursion was necessarily postponed.

Mrs. James Foley is greatly indebted and exceeding grateful to Mr. Charles Slade, who so gallantly rescued her little son from drowning on Sunday, June 23rd. Slade, it appears, made his way from Water Street to the public wharf, when he heard the people on it crying out, “He’s drowning”. Passing through the crowd on the wharf, Slade, without hesitation, plunged into the water and supported the little fellow until a boat from the S.S. Progress, which just started for Bell Island, came to the rescue of both. Had the boy not been grasped when Slade reached him, he would have been drowned, as he was about to sink for the last time. Had Slade been a quarter a of a minute later, a death from drowning would doubtless now be recorded. Beside the admiration of the community, Slade should receive the reward which his gallantry merited. Were the matter represented through the right channel, Slade's bravery would likely receive recognition from the Royal Humane Society, and come in for a benefit from the Carnagie fund for gallant deeds not performed on the battle field. The boy’s father had gone to Labrador before his son fell overboard.

“The steamer Senlac was in collision with the steamer Rosalind about 5.30 last evening, off Meagher’s Beach, in about the same place that the Havana was sunk by the Strathcona.

It was less than half an hour after the Senlac left her pier, bound for St. John's, that she was struck by the Rosalind on her starboard side aft the smokestack, and had a large hole, fully 20 feet in length, stove in her side. Immediately after the collision, the Senlac commenced to settle, and in fifteen minutes her deck was awash. The Rosalind was not injured by the collision.

After the steamers collided, the Senlac swung alongside of the Rosalind, and the nine passengers and 30 of crew of the sinking steamer were quickly assisted over the rail of the boat from New York. Everybody was off the Senlac in less than five minutes, and when the Capt. reached the decks of the Rosalind, the Senlac drifted away in the fog, and was soon lost to view, while the Rosalind proceeded up the Harbor to her pier.

Just who is to blame for the accident is a matter to be decided. At the time of the collision the fog was exceedingly thick. Signals were exchanged, but they may have been misunderstood or not heard. All that is known, is that the lookout on the Rosalind suddenly sighted the Senlac on the port side. The engines of the Rosalind were immediately reversed, and although the steamer was going very slow before reversing, she had not time to check her forward progress before the crash with the Senlac occurred. The impact did not cause much jar. The Captains of both vessels conducted themselves in admirable manner. On the Sanlac the boats were all ready to be lowered in a few minutes.

Rosalind’s Captain Makes a Statement.

Captain Clarke, of the Rosalind, reports that he was coming up the Harbor slowly, on Monday afternoon, in a dense fog. They had passed Meagher’s Beach Light and had just sighted the Middle Ground Buoy on his port side, when he heard a steamer’s whistle on his port bow. He ported his helm to avoid her, when the steamer was seen to come sharply across his bow. He signalled for full speed astern, but almost immediately, the Sanlac came scraping across his bow. The Sanlac struck the Rosalind on her starboard side, abaft amidships, and hung there. While the two ships were in contact, the passengers and crew of the Senlac scrambled onboard the Rosalind. When the Rosalind backed out, the Senlac’s deck was partly under water, and she almost immediately disappeared in the fog.

The Story Told by the Senlac.

The story as told on the Senlac, is that the steamer had reached a point off Meagher’s Beach. The fog was thick and they were blowing their fog horn. They heard another whistle, and kept on in accordance with the signals they were giving and hearing. The whistle from the other steamer seemed to be further off than events subsequently proved was the case. Suddenly the form of a large steamer loomed up, and it crashed into the Senlac’s starboard side, abaft the smokestack. A great hole was made, so big that simple trunk floated out, and also a bed from the Steward’s stateroom. At once the Senlac began to settle. The Rosalind threw a ladder over, but the steamers lay together for a few minutes, long enough for her three passengers and the crew to scramble over the rail and aboard the Rosalind."

Going to the window, they saw a cow being worried by these animals. She hurriedly dressed and went out of her house. By throwing stones at the dogs, she succeeded in driving them from the cow. The next morning disclosed that the cow had been torn by the brutes, as blood spots were seen on the ground, where the cow had been the previous night. The matter was reported to the Police, and the next night a couple of Constables went to the Southside, but no sign of dogs were to be seen there.

Now that the Road Board seems to be in ernest in keeping the roads in as good a condition as it can, it may not be amiss to suggest that the railway track, leading from the Pipe Track Road down the Carbonear Valley, be converted to a carriage road. The track of course, would require some work to be done on it, and one would think no large sum of money would be needed to make it an excellent carriage road. Could not the Board make an effort to point out the advantages which this would give to the public, and urge the members to seek a special grant for that purpose? If the Carbonear Road Board would lay out some money on that end of the track, the road could be made right though, and both towns would reap the benefits from the junction. The matter is worth considering, and there is hardly a doubt that the cost of making the road will be repaid by the usefulness.

Saturday 4 P.M., little Jack Moore, the 6 year old son of Conductor Moore, of the R.N. Co.’s railway, was accidently killed near his own home, the tragedy being almost witnessed by his parents. The lad was playing in the street near the Mill Lane, Water St. West, when a horse with a box cart attached, driven by Patrick Flynn, going East, knocked him down, and one of the wheels passed over the body. A scream from a passer by attracted Flynn’s attention, and the horse was reined in almost Immediately

Some witnesses to the accident tenderly removed the child, while the driver ran to Mr. Kent’s store and telephoned for a Doctor. In the meantime, young Moore’s father appeared on the scene, and taking his little son in his arms, took him home. The child was unconscious when picked up, but there was no signs of any serious injury, not the slightest scratch being noticeable on his person. At the home, all possible was done until Dr. Scully arrived. The latter, after an examination, held out no hope, and at 4.30 the bright smiling pet of the household, who an hour before was playing with other smiling children, was playing with the angels around the great throne, — he having died in his father’s arms at that hour — and a heart-broken mother and father were left to mourn. As far as can be gathered the happening occurred without the driver having had any knowledge of the child being near. Deceased was playing with a hoop, and was crossing the street, when the horse came along. Flynn, it is said, was driving slowly, and had turned around to wish good day to a friend.

In the few seconds that this occupied, the little chap is supposed to have got under the wheels. When the accident did occur, Flynn showed himself a humane man, and with much presence of mind, hastened to secure medical attendance. The Police were also called, and Head Constable Collins was soon on the scene. He assisted Dr. Scully in the examination, and when the latter pronounced the injured one dead, he immediately placed Flynn — who was present in the house – under arrest.

The prisoner was much affected, and though submitting quietly to the law, felt his position keenly. He was taken to the Police Station in a street car, and upon arrival there, almost collapsed from heart failure, from which he suffers. “Head” Collins helped to calm his fears however, and after an hour or so, he recovered his normal condition. The horse was owned by Mr. C.W.H. Tessier, who hearing that Flynn had been placed under arrest, came to the Police Station and offered bail.

Inspector-General McCowen was telephoned, and also Judge Conroy, and after a short preliminary examination, the prisoner was allowed out on bail, to appear this morning. The unfortunate lad’s body, when undressed, was free from any bruise, or cut except a slight scratch on the left leg, and not a drop of blood came from the injuries, which were evidently internal. The neck was broken however, and from this death resulted.

Mr. and Mrs. Moore are naturally overwhelmed with grief, particularly Mrs. Moore, who became prostated When told that her little darling was dead, and who wold not! - to see their cheerful bright-eye six-year-old son - an hour before the joy of the home, still in death and a promising life ended by such a terrible tragedy! This accident is all the more sad , occurring within a few yards of his home and almost in the present of his father.

General and sincere sympathy will go out to Mr. and Mrs. Moore in their sad hour of trial, in which the News joins. The Magisterial enquiry will be held this afternoon."
