. a ee The Death of Watson Duchemin.

Dr. MceLnop, Coroner for Queen’s County, vesterday evening held an inquest In view of the body of Watscn Duche min, son of Mr. Albert Duchemi., wh» wes a:cidentally hot and killed yesterdsy afternoon. The Jury was composed of the following gentle- men :— Benjamin Hs oper, foreman; M. P. Hogan, John T. H:artz, Richard Murley, George Waye, Jobn Heartz, and Barthol- mew Pickard. The verdict returned was ‘that the deceased cume to his death by a gunshot wound eccidentally received.’ The particulars of the sad accident are given by Charles T. Hughes, sixteen years old, son of F. W. Hughes, Esq., Clerk of the County Court, whose evidence was taken at the inquest. He said :— .

‘© { went to Frederick Bevan’s for an old enn [lent him, and took it home this after- L took out the old breech screw and put in anew one. Directly after Watson Duchemin came iv. He asked if I was going to the Exhibition, I toid him ‘no.’

said, ‘lam going to snap a cap in the yard.’ I picked up the gun and puta cap onit. 1 then raised the hammer, and Wat- son Duchemin said he would fire it, I said, ‘No, you will not.’ He then caucht hold of ,the barrel, and I held on to the other part—the s‘ock, He was trying to pull it from me and _ I was trying to pull it from him, and the gup went off. “I did not know it was loaded, I did not tell him (Watson Dnchemin) it was loaded. He did» not ask me. I did not load it. It was» mot loaded when ! yave it t@ Frederick Bevan, When the gun went off, Watson Duchemin staggered and fell forward, and fell on his face towards the door. I did not know he was hurt, and | ran over to pick hua up, Then | saw the blood flowing from his neck. I ran and got a towel and a basinful of water, and tried to stop the blood. Find- ing it ustless, J ran owe for my father. He then sent me fora doctor, I found Dr. Dawson and bronght him to the house. When we were struggling for the gun we were both laughing. We were always good friends, “There “was no person in_ the house when the aceident happened. [ ran as hard as I could fur my father, and did not think of anything but to run for hit, he blood ran very fast from Wat- son Duchemin’s wound, He never spoke nor siruggled. He opened his mouth once or twice. I do not think he was breathing when I left him.

On being racalled, the witness said : Iam fifteen years of age, and Watson Duchemin was about my own sige,

The charge entered below the unfor- tunate boy’s jaw, penetrated the brain, and caused almost immediate death.

[The funeral of Watson Duchemin will leave his father’s residence, head of Great George Street, at 2 o'clock, p. m., to- morrow, for Sherwood Cemetry by train. ] ese pn emmnamenggpennene mas

THE forenoen session of the Educational Association began at 1030. After the ap- pointment of the requisite committees, Mr, John A. McPhail (Farming Schoo!) was called on to read a paper on ‘“lhe Artificial.” ‘The paper was exceedingly well written, Fut little discussion followed, owing, no doubt, to the entire acque ence on the part of tha: present, on the merits of the paper. He was followed by Mr. Neil MeLcod, of Summerside, on ‘*The Teaching of History.” This was a thoughtfully-written paper, part of which elicited quite a lively discussion. More ex- teuded remarks will appear here fter.
