DEATH IN THE CALL OF DUTY
from the Montreal Gazette Friday September 7 1894

Fireman St. George Killed on Craig Street.

The street were busy last evening. People were hurrying to and from businesses little knowing
that a joyous and sad event was going on in the city among corporation employees.
Such was the case last evening. Shortly after six o’clock an alarm was sounded from box 414.
The central division of the brigade had in duty bound to respond to it. The reel, engine and Bangor
extension ladder started out from no. 1 station in accordance with the call of duty and the two former
got along all right. The latter was more unfortunate. They weren’t out on a fatal trip so far as they were
concerned. To get at the exact facts of the case would be hard.
There were many versions of the accident. But the most practical is that when the ladder left the station with Jack Andicott the driver: Lagacé at the wheel, Rielly ans St.George on the sides
of the ladder, little did they think they were going on a fatal run. The ladder, drawn by three black horses, left the station, the driver took the southern side of Craig street to give full scope for the ladder getting clear of the station. This he succeeded in doing. He did not go very far when he found it necessary to cross over to the other side of the street.
There was an electric car going eastwards and Wm. Dow & Co’s waggon no.14 was standing on the north side of the street. Now came the fatal move. Andicott got his horses and the front part of the ladder through between the [electric] car and the beer waggon. Lagacé was at the wheel and was supposed to follow the lead of the front wheels. When they were going through that space the accident occured.
The hind wheels of the ladder struck on of the hind wheels of Dow & Co’s no.14 waggon and the wheel of the ladder was smashed. The ladder, when the collision came, canted over towards the north side and it went along in that condition for a few yards when it toppled over and St. George was smashed down on the sidewalk with the top weight of the ladder on him against the curbstone.
The horses going at full speed dragged the ladder and the unfortunate a few yards further before they were forced to come down to the pavement.
There was an anxious and eager crowd willing to carry the injured man into Messrs. W. King & Sons.
Here the General Hospital ambulance arrived two minutes after it was called. It was on the way to that institution that the poor fellow died.
The deceased fireman leaves a wife ans six children who live on Island street.
The Bangor ladder has suffered the loss of a 24 foot length and the steering gear.
The coroner will hold an inquest at General Hospital this morning at ten o’clock.
Veteran Volonteer Firemen.
At a special meeting of the Montreal Veteran Volonteer Firemen’s association held last evening in the Firemen’s hall, Craig street, Mr. William Cunningham, president, in the chair, after some routine business was transacted, it was unanimously carried: “That the members of the association turn out to the funeral of the late Mr. St.George, subject to the arrangements made for the funeral.”
The principal reason for the change of some of the men was that Fireman Preaseau, who usually manipulates the wheel of no.1, was married yesterday morning.
