Man Missing From Home Since Saturday.
Mr. James Hynes, of the Battery, left his home on Saturday and has not since returned and his relatives are very worried about him. Yesterday the police were notified and friends explored every avenue in an endeavour to find some information about him but to no avail. It was first thought that he might have gone to the ice in one of the sealing ships, but no steamer has reported him on board. Mr. Hynes was a regular workman at the Furness Withy premises. He has a wife and four children. Anyone who can supply any information about him would be conferring a great favour on his relatives if they would pass it on to them or the police.

Serious Accident.
Workman in Hospital in Critical Condition as Result of Explosion of Gasoline Tank.
On Monday morning while a workman named John Hynes, employed by Corner Brook Garage Co. was engaged in repairing a gasoline tank belonging to a motor truck, the tank exploded and injured him so seriously that one of his legs had to be amputated and the other is fractured in several places. A fellow workman, Wallace Garreau, who was nearby at the time of the explosion, escaped without injury.

The tank had been removed from the truck, the gasoline drained from it and the tank flushed out with water before repairs were begun, and it was thought quite safe for the use of an oxy-acetylene torch. Work had begun just a short time when the terrific explosion occurred and sections of jagged metal were hurled with tremendous force away from the spot. Hynes happened to be directly in the path of one of the large sections and was severely injured while Garreau escaped without a scratch. The injured man was quickly conveyed to hospital where one of his legs was amputated, and his other injuries attended to. It was reported on Tuesday morning that he had spent a good night.

Rev. G. Ivany spent a couple of days at Spruce Brook fishing.

Trinity Notes.

Repairs to R.C. Chapel. Trinity, Sept. 12 - Under the capable workmanship of Messrs. Wm. Sullivan, Alfred Hayter and helpers the Roman Catholic chapel has had the tower recovered and painted white, and other necessary repairs effected, the whole edifice being painted. Consequently the building presents a very pleasing appearance. Some necessary renovation was also effected to the belfry outside the chapel. Unhappily when working on a scaffold around the belfry Mr. Alfred Hayter fell to the ground, a distance of approximately 15 feet, but fell across a nail box on the ground. As a result one of his ribs was fractured and a thigh bone broken. Dr. Sinclair and Mrs. E.J. Ryan were quickly on the scene, a stretcher was improvised and the bone was set. However, with the severe shock sustained, the man has suffered much during the past three days. We extend our sincere sympathy and trust that the recovery, though no doubt taking some time, may be complete.

The summer residence of Mr. G.G.

RHODES SCHOLAR. John B. Ashley. [with photo]
At a meeting of the Rhodes Scholarship Committee at Government House on Monday, John B. Ashley was elected Newfoundland Rhodes Scholar for 1937.

Mr. Ashley who is now a student at Dalhousie is the son of Mr. William J. Ashley, night superintendent of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, and Mrs. Ashley, Merrymeeting Road, St. John's. Entering St. Bonaventure's College in 1922, and from 1927 when he took Grade VII examination he led every class, climaxing his success in 1932 by winning the Jubilee Scholarship. After a year at the Memorial University College, he proceeded to Dalhousie University, taking, on the advice of President Paton the Classical course. In the entrance classical examination, open to students from the Maritimes as well, he won the scholarship of $600.00. In 1924 he came first in the Honours Course, thus winning the Sydney Oland Scholarship of $100.00 and the Studley Quoit Prize of $50.00, and was also awarded the $200.00 prize of the North British Society. In the next year he gained further distinctions, among them the Robert McLennan Scholarship of $150.00.

A brilliant student, the new Rhodes Scholar has also taken a prominent part in athletics, showing special prowess in jumping, and taking part in football, hockey, basketball and other games. His knowledge of games together with his qualities on leadership secured for him last year the position of Playgrounds instructor.

To the winner of the Rhodes Scholarship, to his parents and to St. Bonaventure's and the Memorial Colleges, The Telegram extends heartiest congratulations and trusts that his marked ability will lead him to further successes at Oxford.

In Nova Scotia.
Miner Killed.
George Toms, a former native of Trinity, Newfoundland, was instantly killed in No. 24 colliery, Glace Bay, C.B., during the past week when a fall of coal claimed one life and caused injuries to two other coal-miners. Toms was engaged at his work in the mine when the coal slide occurred and it required some time before his body could be taken from the scene. He was rushed to the surface but examination by doctors showed that he had been killed almost instantly. Toms came to Cape Breton fifteen years ago from Trinity, Newfoundland, and since that time has been employed as a coal-miner in various coal collieries. He is survived by his widow and two sons, living at Glace Bay, C.B. Surviving also are his aged father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Toms, residing at Trinity, Newfoundland. Interment took place at Glace Bay, C.B.
