NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Seaforth Expositor, in comment-
ing upon Mr. H. A. Ms.ssey's gift of
$10,000 to Vietoria Collegeadeparts from
its usual good judgment, and with
childlike argutnent directs a slap at the
rade policy of the government. Because
Mr. Massey, with cleverness, has
worked up an immense sale for his im-
plements and became, wealthy in con-
sequence, it is surely unkind of the Ex-
positor to charge that the government's
policy is responsible, and not Mr.
Massey's own push and energy, for the
amassing of his fortune, There has
been strong opposition in the implement
trade, and there is likely to be still; and
the fact that those wares are sold at as
high a figure in the U.'S. as in Canada,
dispels the idea that the N. P. gave Mr.
Massey hie wealth

Harrison's are 177,475 and Weaver's 30-

EXPLOSION AT A MINE.
THE POWER OF TWENTY-FIVE KEGS
OF POWDER.'
Two gilled, Niue Wounded and One
Missing—A Great niast of FIRM° Ilnd
Smoke Alla Then a ROG,: Flung Out to
the vountry Round.
PITTSBURG, Nov, 22.—A Steubeuville, 0.,
special says: At the Blanche Mine of the
West End Colliery, in the West Virginia
yard, 25 kegs of blasting powder exploded
at 12.15 p.m. yesterday.
The explosion was caused by a fizzing
fuse throwing fire into a mine's powder
can, the explosion of which fired others
until the volume of flames was sufficient to
explode the whole stock of loose powder.
The miners had been losing powder by
the fiand. They kept a day's supply in
boxes, which were left open at the noon
hour.
The men in the mine had just be-
gun to come in where the powder
was stored and in a few minutes
more most of them would have been
there. A stunning explosion in the mine, a
great blast of flame and smoke from the
mine's mouth and thee a roar was flung out
to the country round that told only too
well that there was death and disaster at
the mine.
The scene that followed cannot be told
in words. The women who had husbands,
brothers, sons or sweethearts in the smok-
ing pit were simply frantic.
Crowds came swarming to the mine's
mouth just as they dropped their work or
left their tables, their faces white with
dread and one eager enquiry on every lip,
"Who's in the mine ?"
Wives and fathers were there tearfully
imploring the men to go in where all knew
that death lurked in the air, either to
rescue those who were not past rescue or
learn the worst at once.
The mine boss and a squad of brave
fellows took their chances on the "bad air"
and went in and soon returned, bearing
among them the seared and mutilated vic-
tims of the explosion. They found two
dead and nine wounded.
The explosion did comparatively little
damage, so far as is now known, to the
mine or its equipment. That more of the
miners were not suffocated was due to the
prompt action of Miners James Clark and
James Borden, who, when the big door
that closes the drift was blown frotn its
fastenings, quickly placed it in position
agin.
Th b works belong to L. C. Smith of New
Cutnberland, William Smith and John
McNutt of Wellsville, Ohio.
The mine has been in operation since
May, 1891, and 50 men we.re employed
there yesterday. There is atill one man un-
accounted for, a miner named John Hully.

Mr.Ritchie,immigration agent for the
Department of the Interior with head-
quarters at Grafton,North Dakata,noti-
fies the Department of the arrival in the
territories of a party of 35 settlers from
that State,31 of whom are Norwegians
and 4 Americans. They will settle in
Saskatchewan Valley. Two of the party
visited the territories in August and
secured homesteads 22 miles from Fort
Saskatchewan, and are now taking in
their families and stock. The others
are about to take up homesteads and
put up houses with the object of re-
moving there early in the spring- Mr.
Ritche says that a great many farmers
in Dakota and Minnesota are rushing
their work so as to be able to move up
to the Canadian North West before
winter sets in, and unless there is an
extra early winter there will be a large
influx of settlers into Manitoba and
the territories until the 1st of December.
He says further "the men who are now
moving in are good solid working farm-
ers and will induce lots of their neigh-
bors to leave the United States to settle
here.

HON. MR. TUPPER.
Will Leave England for Canada on
Deo. S.
Orroava, Nov. 22.—Hon. O. H. Tupper
has finished his business in England in con-
nection with the Bellying Sea case and sails
for Canada on Dec. 3. Most probably Sir
John Abbott and Hon. Mr. Foster will leave
on the same steamer, but this is not cer-
tain,
Mr. Foster is believed to have made a
partial arrangement with the Bank of
Montreal for taking the Dominion Govern-
ment account in England, but the arrange-
ment will have to be confirmed by older -in -
council after the ministers return.
Now that Sir John Thompson, Hon.
Mackenzie Bowell and Hon. Mr. Chapleau,
three of the four members of the sub -com-
mittee of council to whom the petition for
remedial legislation in Manitoba school
question was referred, have got, back from
Halifax, it is expected that a date will be
fixed for hearing Mr. Ewart, counsel for
Archbishop Tache, as soon as possible
after the return from the Northwest of
Hon. Mr. Daly, who replaces Hon. Mr.
Dmedney as the fourth member of the sub-
committee. Mr. Daly is expected back a
week from to -morrow.

Justice.
Prof. Robertson, Dominion Dairy COM-
missioner, leeves for England next week
with a view of furthering Canada's dairy-
ing interests. He will take with him a
large stock of dairy products which he in-
tends exhibiting before the various boards
of trade there. He will also bring himself
into contact with the farming community
with a view of promoting immigration.
When the fact is borne iu mind that ex-
perhnental dairying as understood here is
unknown in England, and that the Cana-
dian system is being held up to the public
approbation in that country, the beneficial
effect of Professor Robertson's representa-
tions may be imagined. The products
which he will take with him as illustrative
of Canadian industry are largely the output
of the dairy stations in operation last
season. On Saturday, the Dominion Dairy
Cormnissionee had an interview in London,
Out., with Mr. Brown Webb, the head of
ths largo syndicate, who are about to
establish a large pork packing and da.ry
business there.
thy, It is quite true there are individual
workers on the Board, but as the past
year has been one of strife among cer-
tain factions, almost every move for
genuine improvement on the part of
one was opposed by the other. while
motions were carried and much valuable
time spent and money wasted, for
worthless projects, a return from which
we shall never see.
Reeve Bawden, we learn will again
offer himself for the reevelip. With-
out any prejudice, we might say that he
has proved himself to*be the right man
in the right place. Having plenty of
time at his disposal, he can look well
after Village matters, and has at every
opportunity during this year exerted a
willing hand and an enterprising spirit
to promote the better interests of the
village. He has served the citizens
well,not only in guiding the corporation
work but in his efforts to advance our
industrial interests, and it is but proper
that he should be returned for another
year; unless it be.that a distinction is to
be again made between a north and a
south man, which we hope will not be
e ease,—allowing all strife to bury it-
self for all time to come. Mr. Coaling,
it is said, will contest the deputy's seat,
while as for the other members we have
not lea/lied their dispositions. Mr.Car-
ling is a good legislator, and would
make a good and worthy deputy.; he is
possessed of economical, yet progressive
ideas, and his ascension to the vice -
reeve's chair would be likely to result
to the town's advantage. As the can-
didates crop :up. we will give their
names to the public.

SAN Finetecisco, Cal., Nov. 9.a.—Dozons
of polieemen are on guard in Chinatown to

lives must be sacrificed to atone for the tyro
murders of last Friday and Saturday. The
police dispersed an excited crowd and
chased four men into the quer ters of the On
Ghek Society'. Each man carried two navy
revolvers and a knife and wore a mail shirt
made ef steel. Mail protected the wearers
from their neck to their heels and weighed
over 20 pounds each, Another Chinaman,
wearing a pressed paper suit of armor, was
arrested in Bartlettediey about he same
time. The men murdered last week be-
1..1p:a to 1heoe sooietiex, and the feud has
been netively taken up. Though the Chinese
quarters aro well guarded it seems Certain
there is to be more killing.

GOT MS MAN IN MEXICO
A BANK OF HAMILTON FORGER WHO
GOT AWAY WITH $10,000.
Ontario Government Detective 'Murray
Traces His Man to the Mexican Itepub
lic and Takes Hinz Into Custody—Will
Be Brought Back vitt Bermuda.
TORONTO, Nov. 21.—During the past few
months the funds of the Bank of Hamilton
have been relieved of between $40,000 and
$50,000 by means of forgeries, one of the
culprits being C. H. Davidson, of the well-
known nursery firm of C. 11, Davidson &
Co., of Burlington.
The Attorney -General's Department was
communicated with and Detective John
Murray, who was given charge of the case,
learned that Davidson was in Mexico. He
started for that country, and a special de.
patch to this city announced the arrest of
the forger at Ciudad. Juarez, on the Mexi-
can Central Railway.
Davidson did a large nursery trade and
his dealings with the head office of the bank
at Hamilton were on an extensive scale.
He enjoyed the utmost confidence, and the
papers presented by him purporting to bear
the signatures of prominent farmers in the
locality was accepted without question.
When he suddenly departed some weeks
ago, however, it was discovered that he had
forged notes to the amount of between $9,-
000 and $10,000.
Shortly after Davidson's disappearance
his wife was observed to bepreparing to
join him, and it was by this meane the
authorities obtained the first inkling of his
whereabouts, Davidson like many other
criminals having sought this haven under
the erroneous supposition that he could not
be extradited.
Murray will take his man ea Bermuda,
where he will catch a steamer for Halifax ;
failing this he will journey with him to
Liverpool and thence to Canada.
ANOTHER FOREER WANTEE.
While in Mexico Detective Murray will
keep his weather eye open for another for-
ger who also depleted the Bank of Handl
ton's treasury, Henry Charles Aitken, for-
merly a private banker of Tottenham,whose
forgeries, it now transpires, reached $30,-
000.
No trace has yet been received of George
Pyke, the missing accounts.nt of the Toron-
to branch of the Imperial Bank, but Ile is
also believed to be in Mexico with the $10,-
000 he stole, including the package of $2,-
300 that he purloined from the vault the
day prior to his departure.
A PATH OF 200 YARDS WIDE.
ASyclone in Illlnos Causes Considerable
'*Destruction to Life and Property.
BED Bun, Ill., Nov. 18.—At 3.30 o'clock
yesterday a, cyclone swept over this place,
"destroying thirty-five houses, killing a boy
named Jacob Koch, and injuring fifteen
other persons, of whom some will die.
Two churches, the town hall and jail and
a newspaper office was among the buildings
levelled.
The wind -wave came in the midst of a
driving rainstorm. The storm came from
the south and cleared a path 200 yards wide
through the town.
Some of the effects of the storm were
marvellous. One house was literally lifted
from the ground and scarcely a vestige of it
left, while a neighboring residence seems to
have escaped with comparatively little
injury.
Stone buildings offered no resistance to
tho strength of the cyclone's fury. The fact
was fully attested by the fate which over-
took the solid stone residence of Peter Car -
dell. It was reduced to a shapeless mass as
though it had been a tin house.
Entering from the south the cyclone
first demolished the Catholic Church and
school and the residence of Herman Drage.
The German Lutheran Church was next
levelled to the ground.
After destroying several barns and tear-
ing away fences it struck the large two-
story residence of Peter Kendall, which
was of solid stone, and crumbled it to
fragments.
Mrs. Kendall was severly injured. A
brick house, occupied by D. D. Perry as a
dwelling, office and composing room, was
entirely destroyed. The family were buried
in the ruins, butmanaged to extricate them-
selves without serious injury.
Peterson's agricultural warehouse was
blown down and 14 other buildings were
destroyed.

FOOLING WITH DYNAMITE.
One Man Blown to Pieces, Another Fatal-
ly Injured.
OTTAWA, Nov., 19.--A horrible explosion
of dynamite took place on the Ottawa and
Parry Sound Railway, in course of con-
struction near the city, at 10 minutes to 8
yesterday. A shock as of an earthquake
was felt all over the town. One man was
instantly killed and another fatally injur-
ed.
The ground was torn up and the debris
scattered all around. The body of the un-
fortunate man, Julius Therein, who was
killed by the explosion, was thrown from
the point where the accident occurred
several yards. It was terribly shattered,
and the blood and parts of the flesh and
clothing scattered in all directions. Therein
was a laboring man, middle aged, and leaves
a wife and nine of a family to mourn his
untimely end. Another workman, Thomas
Browne, was so seriously injured that he
cannot live.
His right arm is a mass of pieces, and his
shirt arm looked as if it were a bag of
bones. The left hand was also shattered
and two or three fingers blown off. He was
bleeding at the mouth. The coroner was
speedily on the ground, and had him con-
veyed in the ambulance to the Protestant
Hospital.
The accident occurred through the throw-
ing of a working tool into a box containing
twelve dynamite cartridges, instead of into
the tool box, which was close by.
