Tuesday Night
The music loving population of
Goderieb gathered in -Victoria opera
house on Titeedsy night last W listen
to Mr. David Duggan, the celebrated
Scotch tenor, Who came here from
Detroit to give a concert which was
held under the auspiseh of the Uentral
school. Mr. Duggan bas an exceed-
ingly mellow and rich voice and in the
different registers is very well toned.
However, in the volume of sound it
appears that sometimes the pronuncia-
tion be lost or almost entirely so. In
singing his various songs he has a
pleasant facial expression and singe
with considerable feeling,
lbs g 1 opinion of the audience
seemed to be tbar they chaos as far-
otitee among hr: songs "love somt-
tbing sweet to tell you'- and that old
English piece. "Sands O'Ilere while
he sung ' I'm av(•rio, awl to the

The contest will be divided into five districts,

Thousand Islands. From here the party will
journey by rail to Albany, the capital of New York
state, then down the Hudson river by steamer to
New York City, where two days will be spent

the great metropolis. The, party will leave New
York City by the palatial steamer Bermudian for
the Bermuda islands, in the Atlantic ocean and

cr twenty days and through its myriads of delight-
ments it can easily be termed " A Trip of a Life-
time. To see the largest city in America and
the second largest city in the world, with its chaos
of bewildering attractions will prove a big feature
of the itinerary. The ocean voyage from New
York to Bermuda will have its share of pleasures ;
to breathe the exhilarating breezes from the
Atlantic will fan new life into your system. To
be at Bermuda, tt the land of perpetual spring,"
where you can wander along the coral reefs and
bask in the shade of the "Oleander trees," and
breathe the invigorating air, perfumed by the lily
blossoms, will prove a pleasure to each and every
one of The Signal party.

SUDDEN DEPARTURE
MOVES FAILED TO APPEAR FOR
FINAL EXAMINATION
Collapsed Over Papers and is Now
Supposed to be in Algonquin Park
--Railway and Municipal Board
Will Summarize its Findings and
Give Out Decision Shortly
The last opportunity for Mr. John
W. Moyes to appear before the On-
tario Railway and Municipal board
and explain his financing of tbe On-
tario West Shore railway has come
and gone. At the last adjournment
of the inquiry the understanding was
that Moyer' would appear on Friday
last and makp the explanation, whose
withholding has occasioned expres-
sions of impatience more than once o0
tbe part of the chairman of the board.
When it. was learned on Fr ids from
a brother, Mr. W. W. Moyer', that in-
stead of attending the inquiry Moyes
bad taken a train out of town Thune
day night, Chairman McIntyre im-
mediately announced that the inquiry
was closed, and that the hoard would
at once proceed to summarize the
evidence as given by documents and
witnesses, and would follow this up an
soon •s possible by their decision in
the case. ti
The hearing was a few minutes late
in Opening. as the board were welting
for Moyes to appear. but when neith-
er her nor his solicitor, Mr. T. H. Len-
nox, put in appearance, a half hour
was taken up with .the examination
of one of the lesser important wit -
Denies. At the conclusion of this, Mr.
Wm. Proudfobt, M.P.P., who has
been presaing the inquiry on the part
of the municipalities concerned, re-
marked :
'-1 had an anonymous telephone • e
communication this forenoon. be
stated, "to the effect that Mr. Moyes
has been working in his garden all
week, and that either thin morning or
belt night he left the city. i would
like to ask his brother if that is cot-
rect."
"It is correct," was the reply of Mr.
W. W. Moyes. "Dr. Davison sent
bitn out of town. He collapsed a week
ago today, while working over hie
papers. He absolutely refused to do
as thing else but attend the inquiry
today, but the doctor Insisted that be
leave town, that it wan im w.esihle for
him to stand the strain of attending."
Liter inquiry revealed the fact that
111r. Moyer; is now in Algonquin park.
Mr. Ptoudfnot was also curious to
know wby Mopes' counsel had not
attended. He informed the board that
two days seo Mr. Lennox called on
him and stated tont he expected to
have Moyer present on Friday. but
bad beard nothing from him since. 1t
was then that Mr. McIntyre declared
the inquiry had dragged out as long
as could be tolerated.
"This inquiry began last May," he
stated, "and has been pending now
for nearly a year. The board bas
been given s certein number of facts,
and it has offered every facility for
those having knowledge of the affairs
of the railway to attend. Up to the
discovery of the papers belonging to
the railway. we received no assist-
ance from Mr. Mopes, or any other
official of the railway, except Mr.
MacEwan. The impression conveyed
was that Moyes intended to obstruct
and thwart the inquiry. But now a
flood of light bas been let in by the
discovery of the documents. We
would have liked to have Mr. Moyes
attend after those papers were found
for the purpose of exploit log many
things, but we have not been able to
get him here. Now that many things
are shown by the papers eoneerning
the history of the railway, the board
will deal with the documents and the
