• Notes

  DIED AT TORONTO. Word was received this morning that Mr. John Beckman, formerly of Guelph, but for some years past residing in Toronto, died yesterday at midnight. Mr. Beckman had not been very well for some time, but he took a sudden turn for the worse last week and on Thursday morning collapsed, sinking gradually and passing away quietly at midnight on Monday. The funeral will take place on Thursday. Mr. Beckman was well known in Guelph, where he had many friends, who will greatly regret his demise.
