SLR JOHN RENDER DEAD. London, July 7. -Sir John Pend formerly member of Parliament for the Wick district, and known the world over as one of the chief, .if not the foremost of organizers and pro- moters of ocean telegraphy, died to- day from the effect of.a second stroke of paralysis, be having had a similar attack last January, which compel- led hint to resign his seat in Parlia- ment. By the death of Sir John Pender the last of the fathers of the great Atlantic cable has passed away. Cyrus W. Field, the engine] pro- moter of the cable service who sought John Pender's assistance and advise in the matter more that 30 years ago, died at his home in Debbs Ferry, near New York, in the sum- mer of 1892 and of the great Beads teethe indomitable* body of men who saw the cable service grow to com- pletion Sir John Pender alone re- mained. The Queen bestowed upon him in 1888 a knight commander- ship of the order of St. Michael and St. George, and four years later she promoted him to the Grand Cross of the same order.

In addition to his numerous other offices he was justice of the peace for Kent, Mid- dlesex and Lancashire and was also puty lieutenant for the latter unty. Sir John was chairman of thirteen the leading cable companies of e world, and the most remarkable store in connection with hisgigan- enterprises was the perfect Ivan ement of all the various depart- ents, The staffs of all the depart-. ments are on the best of terms with each - other and their chief. After Cyrus W. Field had interested Sir John in the possibilities of ocean telegraphy Sir John turned all his attention in that direction, Througei him the Atlantic cable was finalry laid, after disheartening annoyan 3. Then followed his efforts which es- tablished the first cable in Lldia. ;He was at the head of the Gibraltar, Malta and Suez lines. He establish- ed communication with the Levant..

Campbell, -who lives on Oneida Road,near Southwold Station went to • get his stocky., he found ten cows and two horses violently sick. In a few minutes two cows were dead. Mr. Campbell telegraphed for Dr, Edmonds. V. S., St. Thomas, and the latter, on exam- ination, found that the; animals had been poisoned by eating paris green. A strip of ground in the pasture field, six feet long mai two feet in width, was found covered with the poison. Mr. Campbell has had no pares green on the farm fur years, and the work was evidently done by enemies, Three other cattle will die, but Dr. Edmonds thinks he can save the rest. The two cows that died were worts] $200, Crown Attorney Donahue has been Made acquainted with the facts, and strong efforts will be made to being the guilty parties to jtstice.

The er; magistrate took the information and not the trial was to have been held 1 yesterday, but the machinery of the law was too slow for this one abused woman, and she resolved to emulate at the example of others of ]ler sex who ey had considered themselves wronged, or She procured a stout whip and he arranged to meet her husband on nd Raleigh street, near the corner of is Cross. When the two inet there he was one of the liveliest scenes this Id usually peaceful neighborhood ever k- witnessed.

He attempted to o ward off the cutting slashes, but the e, • woman's blood was up, and the e I blows fell as only an infuriatecl wo- e roan can give them. When the e l doctor escaped, he marched off to n I Magistrate Houston's office and laid o. an information against ell's.

Journa (Independent Conservative) says; -- The Toronto ' hail and Empire keeps up its suggestion that Mr Laurier's victory and the defeat o the Conservative Government is due to the race cry in Quebec. "A simple enough condemnation of this baseless idea is the fact that the Conservatives lost just one seat less in Ontario, The Mail and Em- pire's own Province, than they did in Quebec. "At dissolution, the Conservatives had 29 seats in Quebec. Now they have sixteen, showing a net loss of thirteen ridings in the general elec- tion. "At dissolution the Conservatives had 56 seats in Ontario. Now they have 44, showing a net loss of 12 ridings on June 23. 1. "The Conservatives'1,loss in the rest of Canada was greater than in either Quebec or Ontaleo. The party made a net loss of five�•,seats in Nova Scotia, three in New'4 Bruns- wick, three in the Northwest and four in British Columbia. And the party did not gain anywhere, except possibly- one seat in Prince Edward Island, and that by an independent Conservative candidate, "The Journal rehearses these facts because the Conservative party ought to realize and must realize if it is to fight successfully now an up - i hill battle that the causes of its re -1 cent defeat were not racial, were not i sectional, were not accidental. the , defeat was due first of all and above,' all to general public distrust of the party leaders, due to incompetence, extravagance and unscrupulousness. In the very best interest of the Con- servative party, as well as of that which is above all party and tor which every good citizen should be ready to sacrifice party, namely, the good of the country, the true moral of the Conservative defeat should not be disguised." 1I I Buried Treasure. Woodstoek, July 6. -David Grant , while digging a cellar for F. Cowan I f on Railroad Street, Princetown, found. about two feet below the surface a small oak box containing a small silver casket. The casket I contained a gold watch, gold chain, two rings one set with a fine diamond ' and two bracelets, all 20 carats fine. The watch is a beauty, of German rna nufacture inlaid with jewels. A German inscription inside the case translated reads, "Vinie Sept. A. D. 1721•. H. K. No. 1312." The jewel- ry aside from the diamond is worth $.450. The diamond, which is pro- bably worth $800 or $1,000, will be sent to Toronto f'oi• valuation. Tradition has it that a casket was buried in the vicinity of 'Burford by a party of Americans who made their escape after the battle fought near Burford in the war of 1812.
