While one boy was bathing he got out of his depth and a young Devlin, trying to save him, was also dragged under. Mr. Devlin rushed to their rescue, when he sank in a deep hole, and it looked for a while as if there would be a triple drowning. How- ever, the boys managed to scramble out, end securing a rail, pushed it towards Mr. Devlin, who grabbed it as he came up for the third time, and his wife, wad- ing out, 'managed to pull him to land. CATTLE) POISONING, For some time past cows running' at large on, the public highways of the'Vii lege of 13roeklin have takenill and died. Many theories or rumors of poisoning being afloat led the Hon. John Dryden to call an investigation of one of the cattle by some specialists. Dr. Sweetapple, of the Ontario Veterinary College, Toronto, was present and a post mortem held. No light was given on the matter more than that given by the local veterinary. Five cows have been stricken there, of which four, died almost immediately, and the remaining one cannot recover. This baffles all veterinary bcienoe, and the 'branch of the Bank of 'Toronto, has been 1 lagers are so alarmed that they keep T. their animals shut up, lest they share the same fate. HARROW ALMOST WIPED OUT,, At noon Saturday while the men in A. E. Sinesack's roller mill in Harrow were at dinner fire originated in the engine room, and in an incredibly short time the whole building was in flames. The Are then communicated with Henry Hurd - man's building, used as a storehouse next to the mill, also to John Stocker's groc- ery store on the opposite side of the street. James A. Ford's butcher and bake shop, as well as Charles Bell's in- surance office and William Borrowman's building, unoccupied, were burned. From there the flames spread to Hurdnian.'s blacksmith and carriage shops. also Rum- ball's hardware store, a dwelling belong- ing to James Drummond, and Smith's shoe shop and dwelling combined,. A brick house belonging to Joseph S. Wright, on the south side of the street, broke the progress of the fire, otherwise the whole village would have gone before the flames. Sparks from the mill com- municated with John. Hallstead's barn and stable, fully one-eighth of a mile distant, and they were consumed, to- gether with three horses and several hogs. On the north side of the street was Gilbert Morin's shoe shop and dwell- ing and a dwelling house belonging to Charles Bott, In a'1 nineteen buildings were consumed, including outbuildings, TWO CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH. The house of a well-to-do colored man; named Chester Curtis, situated on email farm on the second concession of Chat- ham Township, three miles from Chat- ham, was destroyed by fire Sunday morning and two of the inmates lost their lives. What adds to the horror of the occurrence is the fact that the fire was the work of an incendiary, whose motive was either robbery or revenge. Nine persons slept there when the flames broke out, Two were in the bedroom of the first floor. These were married daugh- ters of Mr. Curtis, Mrs. Munson, of De- troit, and Mrs Catharine Thompson. In the upper bedrooms were the old couple, their son, a young man of twenty, their two grandchildren, Tommy Evans and Freddie Munson, ten and thirteen years respectively Lizzie Gant, an adopted child. aged thirteen, and Samuel Thomp- son, the six months' old infant child of Mrs. Catharine Thompson. It was a close call for every one of those who es- caped with their lives ; and the wonder is that any of the household was left to tell the tale, for the fire spread with such lightning rapidity that in five minutes the whole structure was ablaze, and in twenty minutes was a heap of charred ruins. Out of the ruins were taken the remains of the two who perished—Lizzie Gant and the infant Samuel Thompson. They were mere charred trunks, totally unrecognizable, and so far consumed that they fell to pieces as the officers removed them from the burning debris. The comfortable little farmstead had recently been repaired, renovated and refurnished. The money was supplied by the daughter from Detroit, who:has ample means, and was devoting a portion to making a pleasant home for the old folks in their declining years. Everything but a few articles was consumed, Mrs. Munson also losing money, diamonds and wearing ap- parel to the value of several hundred dol- lars. GREAT DESTRUCTION AT ALTON. A destructive fire, which at one time threatened to wipe out the business por- tion of Alton, occurred early Saturday morning. The fire originated in the blacksmith shop of Boggs & Rowcliffe's carriage works. The whole structure was soon wrapped in flames, which spread rapidly to the adjoining buildings. The carriage works of Barber & Bro. was the next to fall, and the heat from the two large frame buildings was so excessive that the residence of Mr. Samuel Barber close by -was left to its fate. Next in line was the stable buildings of Dr. Algie which followed suit. The outbuildings of the brick block known as the Algie block were next in order. Nothing stood between a whole street of wooden build- idgs and the fire but the said block, and three or four hundred men and women united spontaneously to defend it, and succeeded after two hours' hard fighting in mastering the flames. The total loss will reach about $8,000; only partially covered by insurance. TOOK CARBOLIO ACID, While William Johnson. of Centreville, was walking along the old stage road Sunday morning about a mile east of Ingersoll, he discovered a man lying on the side of the road. He was horrified on trying to arouse him to find he was dead. The authorities here were promptly notified. Deceased was about 70 year; of ago, plainly dressed. six feet four in height, weight about 140 pounds, light, straggling grey hair and beard. When examined by Dr. McKay it wasfound de- ceased had committed suicide by taking a dose of carbolic acid, On Saturday he was in town and enquired for work at several places, and it thought his failure to secure any employment caused him to commit the rash act. He was identified by several citizens, who say he was a cabinet-maker named William Burns, and that he has two sons living in South- ampton,: who were notified. AN ENGLISHMAN SUICIDES. A most distressing case of suicide oc- curred on the mountain brow, Hamilton, Thursday evening. John Ormsby, a young Englishman, recently arrived from the old country, was in charge of an ice cream booth near the incline railway station.About 8 o'clock, lac, w k bile he and o his young wife were alone in the place, he shot himself in the temple with a re- volver and died instantly. When the ceople outside arrived on the scene they found the young wife embracing the dead and it was all they could do to pull Sod her away. They had only been married three months. Ormsby had been in a bank in England and had been quite well-to-do, but, he had lost his position and had come to this cr until?. Despond- ence at not being able to secure suitable employment is said to have caused him to take his life. There will bo no in- quest. FELL THREE STOREYS. A terrible accident happened on a new factory building at Berlin Thursday. Gustave Popplaw. a mason tender, and another laborer were working overtime on the third storey drawing up stone be= fere the windows with a pulley, when Popplaw missed his footingand fell to the ground below. He alghted on his head, his neck was broken and every bone in his head was fractured, He leaves a wife and four small children, WAS TIE OFFICIOUS ? An Amherstburg paper denounces Dr. McCormick, the collector of customs at Point Pelee island for his complaint which resulted in the seizure of the steamer Louise, and says, that if the authorities at Ottawa do not put an end to his officiousness the international tradei which those e h so north shore villages. enjoy will be destroyed. The Nebo states that the charges of irregularities, were made by Dr. McCormick because while the boat was entering and clearing every day the business wastransacted at Leam ington instead of .at Pelee Wand, which disappointed the doctor, as it detracted from the showing made in his report. "ctTr BOGUS UNITED STATES MONEY. The most dangerous counterfeit of United States money discovered for years is announced from the Treasury Depart- ment. It is very difficult of detection. The counterfeit is of the $10 legal tender note series of 1580, check letter B, face- plate number 2,256, back•plate number 2,292, signed by W. S. Rosecrans, Regis- ter; James W. Hyatt. Treasurer, and bearing a portrait of Webster anda large round seal. NOW, SHOT PURSUIT..' In reference to the recent seizures of fishing boats, Sir Charles Hibbert Tup- per, Dominion Minister of Marine and Fisheries, says that until recently if a foreign boat was pursued for fishing within the three-mile limit and got out- side of it before being caught it was al- lowed to escape, but now that the Amer- ican Government has pursued a different policy the Canadian Government was itself adopting the principle of hot pur- suit. A LAW SUIT Of a peculiar nature is soon to be tried at London, the difference between two Lon- don Township farmers. It appears a man named McRoberts was sadly pestered with grasshoppers, and with the aid of several neighbors with tin pans, wires and brush, drove the whole horde on to his neighbor's grain, to the complete de- molition of the latter's crop. This neigh- bor now brings an action against Mc- Roberts for damages caused by the grass- hopper raid. !AN OLD:,`MAN SUICIDES. Abraham Patrick, a farmer at Lam- beth, was found dead in his barn at an early hour this morning. There we§ a terrible wound in his body, caused by a charge from a shotgun, that entered the groin and came out at the small of the back. The deceased was seventy years old and the father of a large family. His wife died about a year ago. The indica tions are that it was a case of suicide, caused by despondency or mental de- rangement. An inquest will probably be held. BOTH DROWNED.; A very sad double drowning accident occurred at Brantford Tuesday evening. Miss Minnie Beney. aged seventeen, daughter of the late W. B. Beny, and L. Tyson, : aged twenty-one, hired a canoe and went to Lovejoy's pond. They evi- dently did not know much about the craft, and in attempting to change places upset. Tyson put the girl on the up- turned craft, but she slid off and pulled him under. The bodies were not recover- ed for over an hour, when, of course, life was extinct in both instances. BURGLARS CAUGHT IN COLLINGWOOD. The store and office of Telfer Bros. were broken into on Saturday morning about 1 o'clock by two young men named Woolminer and Kamran. They made an entry at the rear of the building, remov- ing latches and forcirg several locks and bolts. They were captured by the night- -watchman and police before they bad got away with the plunder, which consisted of seven or eight boxes of fine cigars and other things. They were sent to Barrie for trial, Woolminer was an employee of the firm he•tried to rcb. He is about 18 years old. CIVIC REVENUE OF TORONTO, City weigh hoose feesamounted last year to $5,482, the Bell Telephone Com- pany pays the city $7,455 for its fran- chise, Police Court fines yielded $14.952, the revenue from market fees was 822,- 839, from licenses, liquor and general. $57,791 was received, the sum of $84.495 was derived in rentals from corporation real estate. the Street Railway Company contributed $56,340 on mileage account and 872,284 as the city's share of the gross earnings, and for water service $446,734 was received. It will be seen, therefore, that Toronto receives quite a tidy revenue outside altogether of the receipts from taxes. RUFFIANISM AT QUEBEC. Quebec was on Tuesday night the scene of a disgraceful riotous demonstra- tion. A French Baptist mission has re- centlybeen established with headquarters in a building on Bridge street, not far from its intersection with St, Joseph street, and belonging to a Mr. Samson. Tuesday night a mob, estimated to have contained some 200 persons, gathered around the place and an attack was be- gun upon it with stones. The mission- ary inmates of the place at the time of the attack were Rev. Mr. Burwash, Grand Lingo general evangelist ; Mr. C. W. Grenier, Grand Linge missionary ; Madame Grenier, Mile. Desjardins and Mr. Taylor. The attack was a fierce one. and windows and doors soon yielded to the shower of stones poured upon them. The poor preachers, cooped up there, without any means whatever of defence, could not venture out, and were held prisoners until, after some time, a force of police came along and cleared the crowd, which was composed of some 5,000, away. Seeing this the mob, rob- bed of its prey here, began to seek an- other, and away it went up to the build- ing belonging to Mr. Lavoie, at the cor- ner of George and Richelieu stree;s. which is now occupied by the French Anglican mission. This place, too. was wrecked, the windows, etc., being destroyed. By the time that the police got this far the were at the m e had moved ved o n and rioters Salvetion Army barracks on Palais Hill, Here another fusilade of stones took place, and the property of the army sus- tained very considerable damage. The girls who occupied the:place were obliged to flee, and likewise the very few men who were present. The police .here•also arrived too late to made any arrests, and hearing that the gang had again made for the Grande Lingo mission house, on Bridge street, they started in cabs for that place, where they arrived just in time to prevent a second riot. The streets were cleaned as thoroughly as possible. and the missionaries w ere then escorted to their homes by the police, to prevent any violence being offered to them. There is everyreason to fear a recurrence of the trouble, and the fact that a Similar disturbance ledto rather serious results a few years ago gives rise to the gravest apprehension on this score.

DETROIT, MICH. sociation was held in Toronto on Tues- day, end many well-known frait bryers from all parts of Canada were in attend- ance. After routine business the follow- ing resolutions were carried : "Resolved, that the practice that has existed in the past, and which has be- come so general, of engaging assistants in buying and packing on or mmissicn should be discontinued. and in future all assistants or help shall be paid by salary. by the day, week, montb cr season, as canbest be arranged, and any member of the association found violating the same in the future shall be subject to the ceasure of the association." It was resolved "that we, as members of this association. pledge ourselves not to purchase apples on the plan known as 'so ranch and the rise,' or to give what is called a bonus, and to use, an far as. it lies in our power, the form r f contract adopted by the association." The following rest latioD was also car- ried: "That the members of this associa tion faithfully agree not to accept any `shipper count' or 'more or less' bill of lading when shipping apples, but to in- sist on receiving clean bills of lading," Another mat; erof someintportals cede- cid ed on was that the farmer should be forced to supply barrel. A main feature of the evening session was the reading of crop reports from all parts of Ontario en apples. That crops will be large and prices low is the pros- pect. There will be very little export to the United States, the crops in New Eng- land being also very plentiful. Toronto was decided on as the pla"e at which to bold the next annual conven- tion.. During the day thirty new mem- bers were added to the roll, making a membership now of sixty. At the close of the general meeting the Executive committee met, and elected Mr. J. M. Shuttleworth chairman and Mr. Thos. Seldon vice-chairman. lIow Do Women Manage It 1 "No one who has not worn a long overcoat or mackintosh can fully appre- ciate why some women are crying for dress reform," said an'East Ender yes- terday. "For a month past I. have been trying to discover the secret how a wo- man gets on an electric car without step- ping upon her dress. I have resorted to all kinds of expedients, and find the only successful way of mounting a street car without getting my feet tangled is to gather the skirts of my coat in my arms and then make a plunge.' How a woman can manage a dress which is much longer than my coat, with the grace she does, is beyond my comprehension. It is one of those things that come natural to a wo- man, which we men may never hope to acquire. Therefore, I am opposed to long coats." Au Unusual W eddutg. " The funniest church wedding I ever saw," said a confirmed victim to the wedding habit, "was one in a Protestant Episcopal church in Philadelphiahis i he other day. The bride's father was rector of the church ; her brother was also a clergyman. The bride wanted her father to marry her. When the bridal party started up the aisle two flower girls came first; then the bridee walking aln ne ; a few feet back of her the maid of honor, next two bridesmaids, then the mother of the bride unattended, and lastly two more bridesmaids and the ushers. The mother gave her daughter away, the father married them, the bride's brother assisted in the ceremony. Altogether it was entirely different from any wedding I had ever seen before, though very de• oorious for all." When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became ,hiss, she clung to Castoria, When she had Children, she gave them Casterta.
