Tb Van had Don Thtre for Shelter-It nil a Small Bonding and all Wsrt Hnddlsd Together-Shanty on a Pier In th Ottawa Kiver Himei of th Vlctlmi aad Injurs! Lightning- was responsible for a lamentable accident at Quyon, 33 miles from here, on the Ottawa, on Saturday afternoon. Fran Ferrier, atred 17, of Mechanics-ville, and Nathaniel MacXell, also aged IT, both employees- of the Upper Ottawa Improvement Company, were struck and Instantly killed. Five other employees, Edward ItalnvUIe, Alphonse Therlen, Samuel Deroln.Anthony Cain and Moses Laplerre were rendered unconscious byj the shock. Six other employees of the same company, who were with the men struck, were also aflectcd, but to a less extent. The accident occurred about 4:30 o'clock.

Abojit this hour a- very severe electrical storm passed over the Ottawa at Quyon. Thirteen employees of the Upper Ottawa Improvement Company who were working on a boom took refuge In a seven feet square; that was erected on a Pier. In so small a bounding this number of men were naturally huddled together very closely. The Bolt Struck. With a crash ohe bolt struck the shanty above the open door and passed through to the opposite side.

Every man felt the shock, but the seven mentioned were rendered unconscious. Ferrier waa sitting beside the door, and MacXell waa In the opposite side of the shanty. The other five men rendered unconscious Were between the two tilled. Rainvllle, Therlen, Deroln, Cain and Laplerre were restored to consciousness after considerable difficulty by the other workmen, but efforts to revive Ferrier and MacNeil were futile. The Fatal Marks.

A dark mark behind Fcrrier's ear and one on MacNeil's neck were the only traces on the men of the work of the lightning. Strange to say, the only damage to the shanty was the loosening of a couple of boards above the door. The other men rendered un-l conscious were nqt 'marked. Rainvllle, Therlen, Deroln -and Cain were all sufficiently recovered this morning from the effects of the electrical fluid to resume work, but Laplerre Is still very in. He Is Improving, however, and no 111 effects are expected to follow his startling experience.

Brought to the City. Frank Ferrier Is the son of a Scotchman. John Ferrier, who resides In II e-chanlcsvllle. The relatives there were apprised of the sad occurrence as soon after the accident as possible. The remains reached the village yesterday morning about four o'clock, and are being Interred this afternoon.

The family are known as bard Workers, and industrious, and sympathy la expressed to-day by the neighbors. MacNeil's body was also removed to his home In Bristol township. Pontiac county, a few miles distant fyom the accident. He is also the son of a Scotchman, Christopher MacXetL and the funeral is taking place this after-neon. The shanty eras erected on the pier by several worklngmen who preferred to sleep there to escape the mosquitoes nearer shore.

Scene of the Stroke. The Quyon boom Is on the Ottawa river near Quyon village about thirty-three miles from this city. It Is situated at the Chats Rapids at the foot of the Chats Lake. It is one of the largest booms on the Ottawa river and is capable, of holding many hundred thousand logs. The Chaudiere mill owners use It extensively as a reserve boom, keeping their logs there until such a time as they require them when they are towed down to tne head of the Dechenes Rapids by steamer.

A large numberof men are kept In constant employment during the summer months sorting logs. ST. LUKE'S GUILD. The members of St. Luke's Toung People's Guild held a picnic at West End Park on Saturday afternoon.
