[" ' ' ¦*h ?\\ Sherbrooke Record Eitablished 1897 VtJ SHERBROOKE, QUE., TUESDAY, JUNE 17 1913.ONE CENT MAIL PACKAGE EXPLODES KILLING SHERBROOKE WOMAN Mrs.A.0.Bilodeau, Sanborn St., Killed, And Miss Bilodeau Injured In Mysterious and Extraordinary Explosion.ALDMIC WAYS m Pli A tragedy, mysterious as it was horrible, occurred about 11 o\u2019clock this morning, as a result of which Mrs.Alphonse Bilodeau, who resides at the corner of Sanborn and Wellington streets, was instantly killed, and her sister-in-law.Miss Bilodeau, was badiy injured.The whole aflair is enshrouded in the deepest mystery.The mail carrier brought two letters and a little box to the bouse, and the instant Mrs.Bilodeau opened the box an explosion followed.In an instant she was dead, and the other occupant of the room, Miss Bilodeau, was so badly injured that she had to be taken to the hospital.TOOK PLACE! ABOUT 11 O\u2019CLOCK.About 11 o\u2019clock the mail carrier called at the house and delivered the mail, which consisted of two letters and a little box tied with' string.Leaving the house, he started to walk down the hill to Wellington street, when he heard a terrible explosion, followed by the e: asl.of glass.Rushing hack, he saw smoke coming out of the window, and on entering found the victim stretched out on the floor.FIRE ALARM SENT IN, A hurried call was rung in for the Fire Department, and medical aid was immediately summoned.Dr.Bachand ami Dr.Kthier soon arrived on the scene, but found that Mrs.Bilodeau wus dead.Her left arm was practically torn from tier body.The firemen found that fire had caught on her clothing, as she had fallen near the steve.Before their arrival, however, the unfortunate woman had been taken from beside the stove, and the lire extinguished.EXPLOSION WAS TERRIFIC.| Whatever the mysterious box contained, the explosion which occurred was terrific.Mrs.Bilodeau was standing near the window when she opened the box.Miss Bilodeau, her sister in-law, asked her if there was any mail for her, and the unfortunate victim of the tragedy replied, \u201cNo, but there is something nice for me, in a box with my name on it.\u2019\u2019 They were standing together when the box was opened, and no sooner was ti^e cover removed than lire burst forth and the explosion followed.The glass in the window, as well as the I window casing, was smashed.Two lengths of the stovepipes were knocked down, and in the adjoining room a large quantity of glassware was smashed.DID NOT KNOW THAT HIS SISTER WAS INJURED.Soon after the explosion occurred the Record reporter visited the scene and talked with the grief-stricken husband.Mr.Bilodeau stated that the woman injured was not his sister, but a Mrs.Charest.At that time he did not know that it was his sister who was injured, hut.thought it was a neighbor.\u201cI know of no reason under Heaven why such a box should be sent,\u201d he cried.\u201cIt is a mystery, a deep mystery.and there must be something behind it that I don\u2019t know of.I never knew of a single enemy she had.I was not in when it.happened, and when I reached here I found my wife dead on the floor, just as you see her now.\u201d THE POSTMAN\u2019S STORY Orner Gaumont, the mail carrier who delivered the parcel, when seen by the Record representative at noon at his home on Oliver Street made the following statement: \"I ,was on Sanborn Street about 11.20 this morning on my usual rounds and I delivered the parcel and two letters to Mrs.Bilodeau, who was standing on the doorstep.The parcel was addressed to her and was about six inches long and two inches wide.There was nothing about it to excite suspicion; it was a cardboard box in a paper wrapper.I did' not notice what the postmark was as I had no idea there was anything of an extraordinary nature connected with the packet Mrs.Bilodeau appeared in perfect health when I handed the parcel and letters to her.I had just got to the bottom cf the hill, a distance of about IS yards, when I heard an explosion, and looking back I saw the glass from the shattered window flying up the street.I also saw smoke issuing from the house and acting on my first impulse 1 rang in the fire alarm.In a few minutes the brigade arrived and I went hack to the house but it was full of people and I did not see either the woman or the box again.I consider I had a very narrow escape as not more than two minutes elapsed between the time she received the packet and the explosion.\u201cI have been a mail carrier for nearly six years but have never had on experience approaching this.\u201d CORONER BACHAND VISITED Coroner Bachand wen one of the first to reach the scene.He searched the room for every clue, but could find notiiing of importance.One of the letters the woman was said to have received was found, but the other could not be located, and was evidently destroyed in the explosion.The letter found was addressed, to,the woman\u2019s son, Mr.Al.Bilodeau, and was written from Chicago by a friend of his who signed his name \u201cArt.\u201d AT Tl Two Sweethearts Jump Into the St.Lawrence River MYSTERY SURROUNDS THEIR DEATH.POLICE INCLINE TO BELIEF OF SUICIDE.Three Rivers, Que., June 17.\u2014A tragedy to which there is attached a suspicion of murder .was enacted here when a young Swede named Olsen, together ' with ids twenty-year-old sweetheart, plunged to their death from the C.P.R.bridge into the St.Maurice river before the eyes of the girl\u2019s father, mother and brother on Saturday night lust.The drowning followed a violent scene between Olsen and Karl Litton, the father of the dead girl, and the circumstances of the fatality are complicated by the fact that a son of Littzen fired two revolver shots from a boat on the river about the time the lad and girl were seen to jump.The police incline to the belief that the drowning was a case of suicide, ns the two leaped at the same time and the.Littzen hoy was a close friend of Olsen and actually left his father\u2019s house after a quarrel In which he had taken the part of the dead man.Both the elder Littzen and his son were arrested on Saturday night, hut were liberated on hail last evening.\u2014-»- VERMONT VILLAGE SCORCHED.Newbury, Vermont, June 17.\u2014Twen ty-one buildings, three stores, a hotel and residences, were destroyed by (ire that swept, the village of Newbury, Saturday night.The total loss is between $100,000 and $125,000.ËS ACCEPTED Agrees to Demobilization Proposal of Greece and Servia The letter was opened by the father after the accident, and contained nothing of interest.A PITIFUL SIGHT.Those who were present when the little children of the \u2022 dead woman returned from school will never forget the pathetic scene which followed.The poor, unfortunate children knew nothing of their mother's tragic death until their arrival, and when told broke down and their sobs could be heard all around the place.One little boy about nine years of age sat alone and cried on the step of the shed door, while down on Wellington street, in front of the old Bourque store, a little girl could lie seen sobbing aloud, while two ladies tried to console her.MISS BILODEAU\u2019S STORY.The ambulance was called as soon as the physicians arrived, and Miss Bilodeau was taken to the St.Vincent de Paul Hospital.Her injuries, though very painful, are not considered serious.At 1 o\u2019clock this afternoon Miss Bilodeau was conscious, and told all she knew of the terrible affair.She had only arrived in Sherbrooke two weeks ago to visit her brother, and this morning was expecting some mail.When the postman arrived she went and asked her sister-in-law, Mrs.Alphonse Bilodeau, 11 there was any mail for her.Mrs.Bilodeau replied that there1 was no mail for her, hut that she herself had received something nice, in a box, and that it was addressed to her.Calling her sister-in-law to come ami see what the box contained, she began to open it.No sooner had the cover been removed than a blue flame hurst forth and the terrible explosion followed.Miss Bilodeau was hurled to one side, and her face and hair were badly burned.Her face was covered with blood from her nose and eyes.Her hands were also very badly burned.She was taken in charge by Dr.Ethier, and her wounds dressed.Latest reports state that, she is resting comfortably.PROVINCIAL POLICE WILL BE NOTIFIED.The Provincial Police should be notified of the affair without delay, and in all probability this will be done.The case is one of the, most mysterious ever recorded in this section, and it would not be surprising if sensational developments should follow.MEDICAL EXAMINATION.Dr.Ethier made a thorough examination of the body this afternoon, and Coroner Bachand gave instructions to have the remains removed by the undertaker.INQUEST TO-NIGHT.The inquest will be held this evening at 7.45 o\u2019clock.In all prohabil ity it will be held at the house.COMPLIMENÏED BY II IL GARRISONS WILL BE COMPOSED OF EQUAL NUMBER OF SOLDIERS OF STATES CONCERNED.Vienna, Austria, Juno 17.\u2014 (Special)\u2014The Bulgarian Government has accepted the demobolizatlon proposal made by Servia and Greece, according to the None Freie Press.Condition is made, however, that joint garrisons, composed of equal numbers of soldiers of states concerned, be placed in the disputed territory in Macedonia and elsewhere before demobilization begins.Bulgaria also demands that all parties submit to arbitration of Russian Emperor on basis of treaty existing before Balkan war broke out.CHOLERA AT SALONIKI.Saloniki, June 17.\u2014 (Special)\u2014 Cholera is making alarming progress among the Bulgarian troops stationed at various points in Macedonia.Hundreds of cases are reported at military hospitals, and many of them result fatally.The civil population of the districts is also much affected.Moslem inhabitants of villages occupied by Servian troops in Mace- 7th and 11th Hussars Made Fine Appearance at Inspection GENERAL SIR IAN HAMILTON WAS INSPECTING OFFICER, AND MINISTER OF MILITIA WAS PRESENT.The inspection of the Third Brigade of Cavalry, consisting of the Seventh and Eleventh Hussars, both from the Eastern Townships, in command of Lieut.-Col.Worthington, of Sherbrooke, took place at Levis on Saturday.General Sir Ian Hamilton, General Ellison and Col.Hughes, Minister of Militia, in full uniform, accompanied by Col.Williams, A.D.C., Adjutant-General of the Canadian Militia ; Major Maddokes and Lieut.Stilson, of Ottawa Militia Headquarters ; Colonel J.P.Landry, officer commanding Fifth Military District ; Major W.Robertson, G.S.O., and Major D.' Doull, A.A.G., made up the inspection party.Colonel Lord Brooke, who recently arrived from London, England, to fill an important position in connectinn (Continued on Pago 4) donia arc volunteering in great numbers for service with the Servian army.Despatches reaching here from Pe-triteh state that, the Bulgarian regular troops arriving there from Tchat-nlja and Dnlntr have pillaged houses in towns and massacred all the inmates.Eastward Member Again Holds up Panther Rubber Proposition COUNCIL\u2019S DEVIOUS WAYS PLACE CITY IN BAD LIGHT\u2014 ADJOURNMENT TILL WEDNESDAY.\u2018\u2018You may as well place a wall about the city and keep out all in dustries as act the way certain members of the Council are now acting,\u201d Said Aid.Ewing at last night s meeting of the City Council when, thoroughly disgusted with proceedings going on in the now all too popular cStar Chamber, he withdrew and entered the main Council Chamber.The Panther Rubber Company\u2019s proposition was the hone of contention.At the last meeting of the City Council it wms unanimously agreeu that the city should sell the Cosmopolitan building to this Company for six thousand dollars, payable live hundred dollars cash and five hundred and fifty dollars per year for the balance, without interest.Mr.Berenstein, president of the Company immediately gave his personal cheque to close the deal, which was accepted.The Company was to receive' exemption from taxation, and power at fifteen dollars per horse power, and in return were to pay $25,000 a year in wages.Aid.Brault, whose actions with regard to the industrial propositions have been most surprising, was again the trouble maker.He insisted on a clause providing that if during any year the Company would fail to pay $25,000 in wages the property would revert to the city, and all that had been paid on it would be forfeited.The discussion on this point all took part behind closed doors, but as far as can be learned AUI.Brault found little/support.His confrere from East Ward, Aid.Simoneau, opposed him strongly.The other Aldermen argued that the city was simply giving exemption and interest on the money, and if the Company failed to pay the $25,000 then interest would be charged and if necessary taxes levied on the building.That Mr.Berensteii,' was willing to meet them half way was evidenced by the fact that, he even agreed to forfeit all he paid on the building if his annual pay roll cmt went below ten thousand doll; 1 .After arguing until i.inight ft wo» decided to adjourn until' Wednesday afternoon, when the matter will be finally disposed of.THE CROWN MANUFACTURING CO.This concern win now locate on Plateau Laval, where a building is now under construction.The city will pay $2,500 for the site, and retain a first mortgage on the land and Building for this amount as a guarantee that the amount stipulated for wages will he paid each year for ten years.Both these by-laws will be dealt with at the next meeting.TOO MUCH OF THE STAR CHAMBER.Of late the Council has made a practice of transacting a great deal of the City's business behind closed doors.The citizens are vitally interested in the stand taken by their representatives on industrial propositions, and have the right to be present when these matters are discussed.Although a number of citizens were present, last night, they did not hear a word of the discussion on these propositions.The interests of the public would he better served if the City Fathers would discuss these questions before the public.THE ELECTRICAL TRUCK Aid.Jîrault brought in a report from the Civic Commission recommending that the electric truck be purchased for the sum of $3,900.It was argued that time and money would be saved by the purchase of this truck, especially on the work on the line to Rock Forest.Aid.Ewing thought that it would he better to put the matter over until next year.Aid.Jenckes moved that the Department supply an estimate as to the probable saving for a year, and the date when the truck would be delivered if ordered now.Aid.Brault agreed to furnish this statement.ELGIN AVE.The oft presented petition from the residents of Elgin Avenue was dealt with last night, the Council consenting to put in sewers if the proprietors would pay $400, and ten per cent, on the cost of water mains.DISGUSTED WITH TREATMENT.The President of the Panther Rubber Company has been put to much inconvenience by the treatment accorded his company.On two occasions he had been given to understand one thing, only to find later that changes were made.He now has the Sherbrooke Iron Works building on his shoulders, but rather than locate in a place he considers unsuitable he is purchasing another building and taking chances of selling the other.\u201cRather than he bothered any more with this matter I will pay the city $5,00(1 cash for their building and bo free from obligations,\u201d was his remark to the City Attorney at the close of the meeting.-\u2022»\u2014\u2014- FOUND HANGING TO BALLOON.London, June 17.\u2014Emile Dubonnet and Wolhy Jourdan, two aeronauts who were participating in a longdistance balloon race from Paris, were picked up yesterday by a tug 22 miles south of Ventnor, on the south coast of the Isle of Wight.They were clinging to the wreckage of their balloon, which had collapsed.CM COMING TO SHERBROOKE Said in Well Informed Circles Construction Next Year SPECULATION AS TO WHERE NEW LINE WILL ENTER CITY \u2014SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC AND LABRADOR.It seems to be pretty well assured that the Canadian Northern Railway will build to Sherbrooke within a year or two, very likely next year.It is known that representatives of this railway have been in Sherbrooke recently looking over the ground.According to reports tire C.N.R.as it will come to Sherbrooke will he in connection with the short' mail route from Liverpool to New York.This involves a Port on the Labrador coast, a railway line to Quebec, and another from Quebec to Sherbrooke, connecting here with the Boston & Maine.It is figured that mail or passengers can be transported from1 Liverpool to New York many hours quicker than by any other route.The C.N.R.between Sherbrooke and Quebec would use the Quebec Eastern route already surveyed and a charter for which was obtained by the Me-Crea-Tobin interests and sold to the Forget interests.Federal subsidies have recently been voted for this line.It seems to be generally accepted in well informed circles that this line will he built and that construction work will be commenced next year, the whole as a part of the Canadian Northern system.There is much speculation as to where this line will enter Sherbrooke city.Some figure that it will come in on the East Sherbrooke side with a station on that side of the river ; others that it will cross the St.Francis at Lone Pine rook, which was the original survey, and enter Union Station over the G.T.R.tracks, while still others expect to see this line cross the St.Francis lower down, circuit the city through a ravine to the west and enter the city in upper town, poHdib'y caw iljc O.P.R.trucks or witli an independent station in that vicinity.In any event the prospect of Sherbrooke being linked up with the Canadian Northern, a fifth railway line for this city, is interesting.MIDP AT THREE RIVERS DEVASTATED DÏ Two Thirds of the Entire Camp Levelled to the Ground.Supplies and Bedding Strewed All Over, and a Deluge of Rain Saturated Everything and Everyone.Scene of Desolation Was Complete.Electric Wires are Down in Town, and There Will Be No Light for Two Days.Considerable Excitement Prevailed in Camp, But no Damnge Was Done VARIOUS CORPS ARRIVED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND MEN NOW COMFORTABLY SETTLED.Farnham, June 17.\u2014(Special)\u2014The detachments of the several corps which go to make up the Eastern Townships Cavalry Brigade arrived in camp yesterday forenoon and afternoon on time, and the men were not long in getting settled down.About 5 o\u2019clock a terrible wind and electrical storm struck the camp, and created great excitement for about half an hour.No damage was done and in a short time afterwards the mon were enjoying themselves as if nothing out of the way had occurred.$300,000 FIRE uni Tanneryand Leather Factory Burned to the Ground WAS ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS CONFLAGRATIONS EXPERIENCED FOR SOME TIME.Toronto, June 17.\u2014Fire broke out in the large tennery and leather factory of Messrs.Wickett & Craig shortly befoiC midnight and rapidly developed into a serious conflagration, enveloping the whole of the big four-storey building which fronts on Cypress street and extends from Front street to Eastern avenue, and threatening all adjoining buildings.No lives, fortunately, were endangered, other than those of the firefighters.At an early hour this morning Mr.Craig, of the firm, stated that the loss in stock would total about $300,-000.The firm took stock a few days ago.The loss will he fairly well covered by insurance.In one portion of the building, however, there was considerable finished goods.Me.Craig believed that defective wiring had been the cause of the fire.Three Rivers, Que., June 17.\u2014The city of Three Rivers and the camp ol the Montreal infantry regiments here were devastated by the worst thunderstorm of years late yesterday afternoon, when two-thirds of the entire camp were levelled to the ground, supplies and bedding strewed all over, a deluge of rain saturating everything and everyone.In the town the electric power wires are down and no light is promised for two days, while roofs of cottages and practically the entire roof of the Dominican Convent were blown away.In camp the scene of desolation was complete.Beds were scattered over the reeking earth, tent poles were smashed and the canvas beaten down on top of tables and clothing to lie under inches of water.After the first rush of wind and rain carried away the majority of the tents, the officers and men, heedless of the drenching rain which fell in one vast sheet over the countryside, worked strenuously to save what remained from destruction.The staff tents, with one exception, were demolished.Col.Denison, the camp commandant, received a blow on the head when the ridge JAPAN WILL BE Afraid They Will Flood U.S.Markets With Cotton Goods MANUFACTUREES WERE TOLD BY COMMITTEE THAT FEARS WERE IMAGINARY.Washington, 1).C., June 17.\u2014What has been generally feared by the hoisery and cotton goods manufacturers of the United States\u2014namely, that Japan would enter into competition with the United States Jf low tariff duties went into effect\u2014has now come to pass.At the hearings before the Ways and Means Committee manufacturers of hoisery and cotton underwear stated to the committee that while the cost of manufacturing in Germany and France was very low, making it exceedingly difficult for Americans to compete without a high protective tariff, the real fear of the manufacturers was that with lower rates in effect Japan would Hood this country with products made with the cheapest kind of labor.The members of the Ways and Means committee refused to consider the fears of the manufacturers with relation to Japan.The members of the committee said frankly that it would be many years before Japan could develop its cotton trade, and that the fears of the American manufacturers were imaginary.pole of his tent snapped, while several of the others sustained injuries, all fortunately being of a minor nature.The day\u2019s work commenced with the parade at 8.30 yesterday morning, the training being continued in the afternoon, with outpost work.About 3 o'clock a heavy black cloud appeared on the horizon, intermittent flashes of lightning being accompanied by heavy thunder in the country surrounding the camp lines.Shortly before 4 o\u2019clock Col.Denison, who had been making ^ tour of Inspection, observing the tureatening aspect, ordered the men to return to camp.All arrived safely, and preparations were commenced for the evening meal.The tables were set for the men, and a huge supply of bread and roast beef laid out on the dining tables.Meanwhile the lightning had grown worse, the thunder was deafening, and a huge yellowish-pink cloud low on the horizon, rolled towards the lines.Officers and men gathered outside then-tents in groups admiring the scenic effect, A strong wind was blowing, and overhead the cloud rolled on Suddenly there was a deafening crash, the heavens seemed to split with a sear of blue flame, the heavy cloud rolled a little nearer, and with a swish the storm descended.STORM VISITED QUEBEC.Quebec, June 17.\u2014Shortly before 5 o\u2019clock yesterday afternoon a violent gale from the north, accompanied by torrents of rain, thunder and lightning, broke over the city, doing a great deal of damage.Plate glass windows were smashed, trees torn from their roots and a number of small buildings damaged.A large building on the Louise Embankment, belonging to the Harbor Commission, which a gang of men was just about to move to a new position, was caught by the storm and completely demolished, causing a loss of many thousands of dollars.TWO KILLED BY LIGHTNING IN MONTREAL.Montreal, June 17.\u2014Two lives were lost during the course of the thunderstorm which passed over the city between 5 and G o'clock yesterday evening, the ferry boat plying between Caughnawaga and Lachine was caught in the tempest in the middle of the river and had to chop anchor and ride out the storm, and lightning struck a private residence near Highland station and it was totally destroyed.The damage to lines and poles was comparatively slight.THE WEATHER LOCAL FORECAST.Fresh westerly and
