The little girl, who had been brought home by her father with two other children Suuday morning from an aunt's house, Mite Campbell. a daItgbter of Mr. and Mrs, Charles Ctmpbell, of Marnoch, had been left in the kitchen while her father went upstairs to change his cluthus. Dur- ing his absence she found the revolver lying on the table. She picked it up and when he entered the room she pointed it at him saying : "Put your hands up, Daddy,- but before he could do anything rbc pulled the trigger and shot bin' in the chest. The wounded man immediately fell on tbe floor and neighbors were hastily sum - mooed. When they arrived they found Mr. McDowell in a critical con- dition. Medical aid was sunuuontd but in spite of all efforts the patient died st an early hour on Monday morning. The case is doubly sad by the fact that the little girl. who unconscious- ly shot her father, together with two younger children are of phan., they having lost their mother about two years ago. The little girl is almost in- sane with grief. Tbe late Mr. McDowell was a Meth- odist in religion and wa. :.n ardent worker in the \Vestlield church.

DO RESIDENTS WANT A MARKET PLACE HERE Many Opinions are Given --Merchants Favor Idea and Would Like to Try Experiment Providing Proper By- laws are Made -Suggestions are Invited on This Question Would a market with its regular established market days he a benefit to G•dericb ; This is a question which a large number of its residente have been considering for .outs ti We past. The suggestion was recently made to The Signal that a market established here would prove a great boon to the town by bringing a volume of farmer's trade which the merchants would not otberwise get. Of course, the argu- ment has been advanced that the establishment of a market would in- jure the trade of some of :he leading merchants. The Signal has taken par- ticular care to discuss this matter with a number of these get(tlemen, and with one exception it has found the scheme highly favored. A mer- chant who offered objections -and he requested tbst his name be not pub- li.bed-tbougbt that by tarmees fringing in their produce to a market would detract the householder from dealing at his store, who would only naturally go to a market place to buy her butter, eggs, and green gr'ocer's produce. While this argument may possibly he true. others opiniooed while a grocer might possibly lose in some lines, he would gain in others and sooner or Intel the matter would equalize itself and benefit the business of the town eventually. It is the opinion or sotne that the greatest good to the greatest number should be taken into consideration. The butchers, where one would expect to find considerable objection. a Sig - `cal reporter found that all the locel dealers would welcome the idea. They believed that a market would benefit the town, and if it injured them in some ways it would bring a greater trade here and in the end they would be the gainers directly or in- directy. Tbe grocers also have an idea that the experiment is worth trying. The Signal believes that in the following opinions given that a fair representation of Goderich mer- chants have been consulted. The columns of The Signal are open to public opinion on this matter, as it is the intention of this high-class home journal to support and help soy cause that will boost this pretty little town. it has been found. that there is a by- law respecting a town market. it provides that a town clerk shall a: - tend on a)1 market days for the pur- poses of weighing- produce. It also gives power :o have any persons prose -uteri who sell or attempt to dis- buwan cgfbode ur articles not fit for inhuman consumption. But unfortunately there is a clause prohibiting dealer's from buying be" fore nine a.m. between April 1st and Yovewber• 1st, and 10 o'clock fer the remainder of the year. It i., how- ever. possible to have this bylaw re- pealed to shit consumers and venlors when the matter comes out of -its eon hryo state. The question of a market place and w suitable building have been alma brought up, hut both these theaters are after consideratious. it is sug- ge•tedthat Hamilton street would be an ideal spot. Colin. J. H. McClinton when seen by The Signet was hardly in a position to say just bow the experiment would work. He thought, however. that the market idea was hardly workable in Goderich at the present time. As to affecting his hotlines, he did not think that it would bother it much and believed that the strongest protest would arise from the grocers in town. Mr. Norval Davie. the manager and a familiar and well-known face around the Hotel Bedford, thought the sugges- tion was a good one. "By all means put the produ-se out where people can buy what and when they like,he paid. He had an idea that a new market building would not destroy the assets of the town to any great extent. "1 think a market day and a regular established market would firing a volume of business to the town that we would not otherwise get," epin- iooed Mr. W. J. Davi., manager of the British Exchange hotel. The idea looked very good to him. "It is imwateriel to me which way it goes, ae 1 don't think it would affect my business," was the statement of Mr. W. J. Raker. one of thetnderlch butchers. it might be well to try the scheme and see how it came out, wag his opinion. •'A met ket hers would heal! right. it would not affect my business • bit," was the eothu.iastic way Mr. Thomas Mor row, butcher, answered The *lig- nal reporter's question as to what be thought of a market day scheme. However, be was • little aubiooa as to whether the scheme would be carried through. He had beard it talked over before. "A market day for (inderirh ? More thing ! The Board of Trade should take the .suer up as eslrn..tly as ithey have gone into our industrial enterprises and tone the council to show their hand " said Mr. P. J. Prid- ham, tailor no lb. u•ro. Mr W J. Pow.l, p•neer on the Dare. seemed to he ent h usiast It elelaan !ha matter was wiggagt.1 to hire, by The Signal There A nothing Zake an experiment. lir mid. "and I'se in for anything for tbe good of the it works is other towns (and he men- tiooed Osla it certainly would be worth trying here. 1 can't see that it would injure Goderich in any way," stated Mr. 3. J. McEwen, a prominent grocer in town. Ile believed that if (iad.rich had • regular market day it would stop • lot of peddling which he amrwed was going on at present and was detrimental to retail busineee. Mr. Thomas Legg, of the enterpris- ing firer of Messrs. O'Brien & Legg butchers, interviewed upon the sub- ject was of the opinion that it would serve the purpose of the Arm in buy- ing poultry, etc. He thought that it would not affect his business to any great extent. His partner, Mr. O'Brien, rather welcomed the idea and suggested as a ruarket place & park at the foot of Hamilton street, "Of course." be said, "farmer's should not be allowed to cut up and sell meat by the pound. If they sold it by the quarter, it would be all right, he added. "The idea that all produce should be graded," was a somewhat novel and good scheme brought forth by Mr. 1'. M. Robertson, grocer on King- ston street,awhen a Signal represent- ative called on him the other day in reference to the market day proposi- tion. He complained that under the existing circumstances grocers were compelled to pay the same price for inferior goods as first-class. "For in- stance," be said, "we pay a certain price for good butter and another person comes in wi:h that of an in- ferior quality expecting the same price. On the whole he thought 'that the scheme. while it might slightly in- jure some branches cl his business, other branches would be benefitted and the business on the whole would be enhanced thereby. G:C.1. FIELD DAY Fine Weather Brings Out a Large Number of Spectators It may truly bre said that all ways led to the Agricultural park on Friday last, which was the Mecca for about. :U) scbolars, teachers and friends of the Goderieh collegiate institute on tbe occasio:: of the annual Field day being held there. The children them- selves were in high glee that they bad a holiday from school and many of the ,parents just "dropped" around to see bow Willie was behaving. But tUere was no misbehaving ; Principal Mime saw to that. With his kind but eagle glance be continually surveyed the arena as he assisted with the various sports. Fine weather favored the occasion and a bright sun made it an ideal day tor such events. But furi tor the boys war death to the frogs and in this case the managing committee suffered. Al- though it gave ungrudgingly of its time, when eve was come oure of the members looked as if they had done a Yard day's work. On them, but not alone, depended the success of the day. The committee was composed of Messrs. A. M. Robertson, D. Phillipe, C. Hays, F. Ilaecbler, M. Tom. Allen, E. McManus and Mies Hodge.

He was found guilty at a special sitting of the rounty judge's criminal court here on Friday afternoon by His Hon- or Judge Doyle of indecently assault- inga young woman of Wingham under 16 years of age, last December. He wear committed for trial in W ingbam by Magistrates McKenzie and Vanstone on August pith. As sentence was being pronounced upon him, the prisoner broke down and cried like a child. He was sob- bing bitterly as be was led away to the cells. Judge Doyle before sentencing tbe prisoner% afar bearing all the evi- dence, scathingly reprimanded Schaef- fer. "Aa it is well known that i have strong views on morality and as this case is of a serious nature, I can not under the act give this young man the sentence he deserves," said Hie Honor. He continued : "Butes it is seen that this young man has commenced on tbetdownward road, 1 am going to send him away for a long enough time that Re may think over what he We done, and I hope it will save hint from a lite of brutality. "This immorality strikes at all hum- anity, even the empire itself, for if we attack the family. we attack , the em- pire. It is a matter of great import- ance to stamp out immorality wtrere- ever it appears for in doing so we are building up the notion and that great empire to which I am proud tu be- long. 'Young men do not care what dis- grace and ruin they biting upon giro - and their families. Thea can go out afresh in the world and be free from all stain or blot, while this girl and her family suffer all their life. Scoun- drels of men like this, wbo walk about Winghauu and every other town do not care how they drag down the sacred thicgs of life. Girhi have not the lite of is dog by reason of these blagards who should be shot down like dogs, fur the sootier the country is lid of such villiana the better it will he. •'Would you not rather see your daughters carried out and bulled than disgraced by such blagarda like this?" I want every young scamp in the county before be commits crimes of this nature to reckon with me, for as long as 1 am permitted to sit on the bencb for this county- I will do all iu my power to protect the sanctity of the home " The Judge's statement was the re- sult of Mr. Dudley Holmes,. K.C.. of Wiugbain, commie' fur the prisoner, asking for leniency. an he wanted to present a petition. Mr. Holmes thought that in view of the fact that Schaeffer had already spent ov days in ,ail, His Honor might shorten the seinen.* as much as possible. Judge Doyle replied that be had iat.ended to give the prisoner IS months instead of 15, but had shortened it on that ac- count. In presenting the case which came under the Charlton Act, Mr. Holmes argued that it was doubtful if the prisoner was the aggressor. He then raised the point se to the age of the girl and statei that the mother in her testimony was not certain of bee, daughter's age. Mr. Charles Seager. K.C., county crown attorney. rebutted these argu- ments successfully showing that the young man was the aggressor and that the age or the purl was under 16, the r,quit t -d age under the act. The chief point of argument was as to whether Provincial Constable Phip- pen had a right to go, as he did with Mr. G. M. Elliott, to the prisoner and get' an ores and written admission from bin. The Judge ruled that so long as they did not make any induce- ment or threats, they bad a perfect right to get an oral admission from the prisoner but His Honor disallowed tbe v-ritten admission. Mr. George Phippen, provincial con- stable at Wingham, was the ouly wit- uees heard on Friday. He testified that by arrangement between himself and Mr. Elliott, both went to Schaef- fer at the Western foundry, Wing - ham, where the prisoner hal worked aril got Schaeffer to admit his guilt. Mr. Elliott took down Mcheeffeee statements and got him to sign them.
