The Exeter Advocate, 1896-7-9, Page 4THE zi t r - bit irate j Chas. H, Sanders, Editor and Prop THURSDAY JULY 9TH 1896 WHO NEXT? The transference of Sir Oliver Mowat from. Toronto to Ottawa will lead to some changes in the Ontario ministry. It seems to, be assumed that Hon. A. S. Hardy is booked for the Premiership; through Hon. G. W. Ross was most in- dustrious throughout the late campaign thus giving practical proof that he need not be passed over because of ill•health —a reason often given for not imposing upon him the onerous duties of the Premiership. Mr. Hardy is Sir. Oliver's natural successor on the ground of length of service, he having . entered the Cabinet in 1877 whereas Mr. Ross did not take a portfolio until six years later. There would never indeed, have been a moment's question as to Mr. Hardy's promotion, were it not for the impression—probably more common than justifiable—that he was good .Sir Oliver's "wicked partner." Hence some have thought that Mr. Ross would be a closer fit in the chair of the politician who lecturs in recess on the "Eviden- ces of Christianity," but Mr. Hardy has been leading the government is Sir Oliver's absence and will almost cer- tainly be called upon to form the new Government. The new minister who is to come in ought, they are saying in Toronto, be au eastern man and a Methodist. It is a curious and not altogether desirable way to form Ministries, but geography and religion count for much in such things in Canada. There is now no Methodist in the Cabinet, and no Eas- tern inister with a portfolio except Hon, Mr. Harty, of Kingston, who is more the representative of a religious minority than of a geographical dis- trict. Mr. Davis, of North York, and Mr Stratton, of West Peterboro, are spoken of, but neither of them are real. ly eastern man. This might be a chance for the Liberals to give their allies, the Patrons' a seat in the .Cabinet if they were so minded. The real occasion for anxiety on the part of his bereaved par. ty as to what will come "after Mowat" will arrive when the Hardy Govern- ment must appeal to the people. Mowat has been a name to conjure with in Ontario. Will that of Hardy be as po- tent ? otent? Many an elector votes for the leader of the party as the country well knew in the days of Sir John Macdon- ald and as Quebec did just the other day. To such as these the disappear- ance of Oliver Mowat from Provincial polities will make a difference. Then it has long been believed that the per- sistence with which the people kept the Liberals in Opposition at Ottawa has tended to collect the strong men of the party in Ontario behind the Local Government, which has just as persist. eptly been kept in office. But now the Liberals are to go into power in the Dominion and some of the surplus strength that was wont to assemble be- hind Sir Oliver may follow him to Ot- tawa. And moreover, the same influ- ence 'which formally kept these On- tario Grits at Toronto, may now keep some Ontario Tories there,giving much needed strength to the local Opposition. It is, indeed, quite a problem to de- cide what will come "after Mowat" in Ontario. Political Notes At Brockville the Grits tried to take a sick man out of the hospital, but his wife prevented it by stealing his clothes. The calamity Grit howlers have been saying for some years that the country was going to the devil, and now we believe they are right. It made a start in that direction on the '23rd of June. Judge McDougall gave his decision Friday in the re-count in the East York election case, and as the result Mr. W. F. Maclean, the Conservative candidate and ex -member, was officially declared elected by a majority of 8.

Hamilton, July 5.—A serious stabbing affray occurred on Xing street West, near Chilman's bakery, last evening. William Gassett and his brother-in-law' Chas.. Gardner, had been driving, and met on the street. They got into an altercation, 1 and Gardner stabbed Gassett flee or six times, inflicting serious wounds on the forehead• and breast. It is not likely that the injuries will result fatally. The wounded man was taken home, where his woundswere dressed. Gardner was arrested by Aoting Detective Bleakley. He says Gassett struck him before he drew the knife. City Engineer William Haskins died very suddenly this afternoon. About throe o'clock this morning he was taken ill with a stroke of apoplexy, and never recovered eansoiousness again, his death taking place at 5.30. Deceased had been enjoying fairly good health of late, and his sudden and unexpeeted death was a great blow to his family and the city at large. He was mor° than 70 years of age, and held the position of City Engineer for more than forty years During the long years he had served the city he had beoome familiar with every detail of his office, and in this respect the city's loss will be almost irreparable Perhaps his greatest work for the city was in the management of the Waterworks Depart- ment, which he has brought to such a high state of : efficiency, and with every detail of which he was conversant Quite recently he prepared a number of plans minutely describing the whole system, in order that at his death the system °might be preserved He leaves a widow and five sons, two of whom are in Dunnville, one in Toronto, and two reside in the city S1 ortly before 11. o'clock on Friday night Wm Neidenheuner, of Duke street, had his leg fractured by being struck with the fender of a trolley oar at the corner of Queen and Herkimer streets He had just got off a car and started across the road, when a car coming,from the other direction ran him down Dr McGillivray attended him The water at this end of Lake Ontario is receding from the shores, and vessel - men are becoming very anxious over it In the last month the water in the bay along the wharves has dropped over four inches, and is still falling Efforts are being madeto commute the sentence of Lorne Crisp and Frank Brunt, two boys who were sent to the Industrial school from this city Crisp was sent down for theft and Brunt for vag- rancy The former's sentence will not expire for two years and Brunt's for one year FRASER-. RIVER RISING. C. P. R. Track Undermined and a Train Wrecked.` Vanoouver, B.C., July 5. --High water in the Fraser river undermined the traok between Agassiz and Hope station, on the Canadian Paoifie railway, on Friday night, and the east -bound freight, with- out warning, struck the weak spot, the train consisting of eight cars, seven loaded with tea and one with coal being thrown into theriver. Brakeman Deering was killed, and Fireman Coughlin and Engineer Gray injured. Reports from Fraser River points state that the river is steadily rising. At Chilliwaok considerable damage Las been dobe to crops on low-lying lands, and the steamer Gladys has been busily engaged for the past few days in remov- ing cattle and settlers' effects to high ground. Nioeomen Island is also suffer- ing from high water, and all down the river on, both sides, wherever low levels are not fully protected by high dykes, much damage is being done. Mission City town site will probably be under water in many parts if the hot weather continues. The opinion is expressed that even if the waters recede very soon the aggregate loss will be considerable. Word has just been received from New West minister that the water at high tide was two feet eight inches below the mark reached during the floods of 1884. The steamer Gladys brings word that Sumas is flooded, and the water is up to the banks at Ohiiliwack. A large portion of Dewys is also under water. At Langley the water is level with the landing and at several other places it is over the wharves. Latest advices regarding the strike of flsbermen at Rivers Inlet are to the effect that the strikers will probably soon give way, as the canners have a suffi- cient number of men at work to keep the canneries working. - Strikers have attempted to intimidate the Indians, but several special policemen have been sent up by the Provincial Government to preserve order. CHATHAM N EWS. Interesting Case --An Old Woman Frac- tures Her Leg. Chatham, Ont, July 5—An interesting case is that of J K Morris against the town of Blenheim, in which the plaintiff sued. fur the return of the proportion of the taxes paid by him devoted to the building of water tanks in the town Mr Morris claims that water tanks are water works within the meaning of the statute, and that consequently Ms farm lands are exempted from assessment for building and maintaining the same The judge reserved judgment At Tilbury yesterday Mrs. Anthier, aged seventy years, fell and fractured her leg.

Ten thousand dollars was lately paid by R. von Mendelssohn, of Berlin, for a Stradivarius' 'cello. London femininity proposes to have a women's theater, for the glorification of the New Woman, and to the utter ex- clusion of new and old men. In a civil suit, a woman at Colberg, Germany, had to make an affidavit, con- secutively, on 1,200 disputed points. She swore, and swore, and swore, for three long days. The Berlin Echo feels quite sure there must be some mistake in the report that our Edison is writing a novel ; it opines that be is probably constructing some machine which writes novels.

While impoverished United Italy cele- brated the twenty-fifth 'anniversary of the capture of the city of Rome from the Pape, the latter received over 8600,000 in special gifts from the faithful, who de- plore his loss of temporal power, Monte Carlo is not the only open gamb- ling hell in Europe.
