SPRING ROAD-MAKENG.
Now that nature's temporary hi -
lineal road -making is about over for
;.s year, and the bicycle bell is likely
tee he heard again in the land, the
tuestion of good country roads comes
its+ the front once more. What spring
r eed-making is done will soon be in
geogress, and the fervent hope of those
wee use the roads is that there will be
sr good deal of it and that it will be
-wisely directed. Out in California they.
lave adopted the idea of .utilizing the
4teor of convicts to improve the roads -
Men "ley, for instance, quarry and crush
*roue, which is sod and delivered at a
sicial rate in any part of the State.
This accomplishes the double purpose
a' giving the convicts useful and pro-
etable employment without bringing
em into competition with any trade.
:cud of helping the State to equip itself
with facilities for local trade that are
almond to none in importance. It
would appear that the labor of the con
wilts might be employed in the same
derection still further by permitting
rdiem to work directly at road -making
where their services are most needed
awl can be most easily applied.
HE'S ALL RIGHT.
What the press has to say of Mr.
Menu Eilber, the Conservative nomi-
nee
for South Huron for the Local L' eg-
leeatnre:—
Godericb Signal (Reform).—"Henry
!Ober, reeve of Stephen, has been rhos
me to contest South Huron for the Leg -
Mature ature Eilber is the strongest candi-
date the Conservatives could have se
leeted, and his nomination puts South
Huron in the doubtful column."
Brussels Post (Reform).—"Harry Eil.
Trier, the popular Reeve of Stephen, was
$! o choice of South Huron Conservatives
as their candidate for Provincial parlia-
mentary honors. He is a clever, level
beaded man, a good speaker in either
English or German and will prove a
strong. card in the contest."
Clinton. New Era (Reforme.—"In se-
lecting Mr, Henry Eilber as their can
a idate for the Local Legislature, in the
Tenth Riding, the Conservatives have
iaaldoubtedly put a strong man in the
field; he bas a clean record, is a good
+epeaker, with a strong following, and
his friends will doubtless put up a big
light iu his behalf."

for which his patrons received 13c. a ib.

man paid for 75,000 lbs. dairy butter
During the coming season he will draw
cream from all: points within 25 miles
distant, and also has arranged to have
more delivered by train. The proposal
is taking favorably with farmers gen-
erally, and the probability is that Bar-
rie will have an extensive creamery
establishment in the near future.
The liquor dealers throughout the
country appear to be fearful that the

also paid $10,000 on aecount of other
liquors. The excise duty on whisley is
$1.70 per proved gallon. and the major-
ity of the barrels contain 48 gallons.

Deteriorated Milk.
Ma, EDITOR.—It is a matter of pub.
lic talk that a test has been made by a
competent person under the direction
of our village Board of Health of the
milk sold as "pure mile" by three of
our village milk vendors. and that the
result of such test has been to demon
strate that the people are not getting
what they are paying for. I under
stand that the milk being sold to us
has some 13 per sent less of butterfat
than pure milk.
Can the Council do nothing for us?
Can these milkmen not he fined or pun-
ished in some way for imposing (know
iugly or unknowingly, I know not
which) on the public? It is time some
thing was done. I cannot express my
astonishment when I learned the result
of the milk test. The milk sellers in
terested owe some explanation to the
public and I for one would be glad to
hear it.

A Modern Alladin,
Marcisse M. Contine is a young man
of French l
ch extraction iv
s who was born
about 26 years ago in Huron county, in
the township of Hay. As a boy he
showed no particular brilliancy or abil-
ity, receiving au ordinary public school
education, such as any farmer's son
gets; Six years ago he left his home
and went to Buffalo, becoming a travel
ler for some large firm of that city. A
year ago he went to Toronto. The post
office nearest to his home in Hay town-
ship is Lake View. The only building
in the place is the old frame post ;office.
It is situated on the lake shore between
Grand Bend and Bayfield. The nearest
railway station is Hensel) which is dis-
tant 12 miles. Last October Contine
came to Johnston's Mills and bought up
between 50 and 60 acres of land there
situated on the four corners, where two
cross roads. He also bought 40 acres
of timber and set a large gang of men
to work cutting down the trees. All
the winter they have been at work and
now he has about 1,000,000 feet of tim-
ber stacked near the Lake He has
secured the permission of the Govern-
meut to build a dock and make a har-
bor. A fine gravel road to the lake has
been made and tile drains put in on
bo,h sides of it. He has put In drains
and erected a patent fence about his
ptoperty. He has put up a good saw-
mill, so as to be able to cut his logs in-
to lumber as quickly as possible, Con-
tracts have been made with master me-
chanics of various trades to hire men
to work under his orders. His avowed
intention is to make the place a popu
lar summer resort. A large summer
hotel is to be built this summer, to cost
in the neighborhood of $25,000. About
150 summer cottages are also to be
built. He is putting iu a foundry and
grist mill and already has machinery
on the spot valued at $2,000. A factory
has been started and the intention is to
enlarge it considerably shortly Ex-
cavations for a hugh store, the dimen
stens of which are, to be 300x50 feet,
have been going on for some time. A
canal from the lake 80 rods long is to
be dug, so as to allow large lake yes
sols to come up alongside of the mills.
Where the capital for all these opera-
tions comes from is a mystery. Mr
Contin, who is a young man of great
pueh and energy, says he expects to
spend about $1,000,000 before he gets
any return. He is evidently acting for
some Buffalo or Toronto capitalists, and
they would semi to be backing him
pretty heavily. On the surface the
scheme appears to be utterly absurd
and' impracticable, but Mr, Contin's
backers, whoever they may be, are
shrewd business men and most certain-
ly would not spend so much money un-
less they were pretty sure of getting
good ,roturus for their investments.—

An Old Farmer Striker a Young English-
man With a Shovel.
Paris, Ont., March 29.—On the same
slab in the village of. Princeton on which
five years ago lay Benwell, the .victim of
Birchall, to -night lies the corpse of
George Frost, killed by a murderous blo
with a shovel in the hands of. Ephraim
Convey.
Convey is a man of 74, his victim
Barnardo boy of 25. • The tragedy took
place to -day, shortly after noon. Frost
was the hired inan of Russell Gove, w
worked Convey's farm on shares, an
lived in one-half of the house on t
homestead. Grove bad been absent f
two days, leaving his brother Henry
charge.
To -day, after dinner, at. 12.30, Frost
went out to do the chores. At 1.20 Co
vey knooked at the door, and sai
"George and I have hada fracas. I h
him on the heath with a shovel. I thin
he has fainted."
Henry Grove, when interviewed, sai
"Convey came to the door and told m
as above. For years I was an attention
in the London asylum, and had oonside
able experience in sudden deaths. 0
going to the barn I found Frost lying o
his back, one hand on his stomach, th
other at his side, and his feet out-turne
No blood was visible, but I knew by th
pallor of his hitherto ruddy complexio
that the boy was dead. I felt his pills
and placed my ear to his heart. I sai
to Convey: `There is no sign o! lif
George is killed ' Convey made no r
spouse, and I sent a neighbor name
Lacier for a doctor in Princeton:"
Dr. titaples, who is also coroner, wa
called, and on arrival he announced tba
the boy was dead, and immediately stuff
monad a jury,wiring the county attorue
as to the circumstances. The jury me
at six, viewed the body, and after hear
ing the evidence of Henry Grove, a
above, adjourned until Saturday at two
a post-mortem examination to be eon
ducted in the meantime.
The scene of the tragedy was the barn
under which is a dug out some five an
e half feet deep, used for storing roots
Convey volunteers the statement that h
was in this root cellar, when Frost spa
on him, and he struck him with the ion
shovel then in his hand. The blow wa
on the left temple, but no bruise is visi
blo on his body. Frost, who was on hi
knees when struck, peering into th
darkness below, staggered to his fee
and walked eight yards before fallin
dead. Convey is a man of most violen
temper, and rumor has it had a hatred
of the boy Frost.
Convey, who is an avowed agnostio
takes matters most coolly, apparentl
not realizing the serious position i
which he is placed. Frost, the dead boy
is a Barnardo boy, who came to this
section seven years ago, and until Nov
ember last held ate situation steadily
He is spoken of by evatybody as a pains
taking hard worker, and full of fun. H
had a brother and sister in England
whom he visited in August last, his
former employer, Fred. Williamson, for
warding the funds for his return to Can-
ada. Convey will be lodged in Wood
stock gaol to await trial on the finding
of the jury.
Princeton, March 29.—The develop-
ments to -day at the Coroner's inquiry
into the circumstances attending the
death of George Frost, the young English
farm band who was killed near her yes
terday and whom Ephraim Convoy
acknowledge having struck and knocked
down with a shovel immediately before
the inanimate body was found on the barn
floor, were of an unexpected and most
startling kind. The post-mortem examin-
ation made this morning disclosed the
fact that the lad bad not been killed by
a blow from any blunt instrument, but
by a bullet from a 82 -caliber revolver,
whioh
hadenetrated the heart t and been
carried by the pulsation down the
emoral artery, the great blood canal of
he body, into the right leg, where it
had lodged immediately below the
groin and from which it was extracted
by the physicians. This discovery puts an
entirely different complexion on the
whole case, and, of course, disposes at
once and completely of any doubt that
death was due to violence. On the face
f it, and judging simply from the facts
o far educed, the case is a black one
against the accused, and it will require
vidence of a very plain and definite
character either to clear him of the sus-
icion—a suspicion which amounts al-
most to positive conviction—of having
hot the boy to death, or, if the shooting
y him bo granted, of justifying that
action on the ground of self-defence. The
iscovery by the doctors of death from a
pistol shot and the story told by Convey
mmediately before he brought witnesses
o see the body lying where he said it
ad fallen when he knocked the boy
own with the shovel are in no possible
anner susceptible of reconciliation.
In fact Convey's story of the occurrence
laces him in a much more difficult post.
ion than he would be in had he said
°thing at all. As it is, from his own
tory ho is practically found in possession
of a dead body, dead from violence, and
the law requires him to account for that
fact. His explanation thus far given is
hat he and the boy had quarrelled and
e knocked him down with a shovel.
inking that the boy had fainted, "or
omething," he went for assistance.
hen he returns with a witness the boy
found to he dead. The body is lying
n its back on the barn floor, where the
quarrel is said to have taken place, and
n the side of head is a mark such as
ight have been the result of a blow
Froin a dirt -covered shovel. The body, to
he person first brought to see it, pre-
ents the appearance of having been dead
or some time. It is by the instruction
f the Coroner removed to the nearest
illage, where a post-mortem examina-
on is made on it. The result of this ex-
mination is that the real cause of death
found to be entirely .unconnected with
e blow on the head. Not only that, but
o physicians who make the post -mor -
m declare that not only could such a
l
aow—which had left but a very slight
brasion of the skin—not have caused
each, but it could not, in their opinion,
ave felled the boy to the ground.

A Notable Event.
(From Ottawa Free Press, 25 March,1897.)
The Famine Fund sent to the Mont-
real Star has turned fifty thousand
dollars, representing subscriptions from
upwards of two hundred tbousaud per-
srms, one hundred thousand school chil
dren, and nearly one hundred thousand
church members of all faiths' besides
great and small subscriptions from
thousands of private citizens,
We do not remember ever to have
seen so extraordinary a subscription
anywhere. For many years to come
the remarkable spontaneity with which
this subscription was supported, irs
almost universal character and the
right good will with which the sub-
scriptions were bestowed for the cause
will be looked back to by all Canadians
with genuine pride.
Besides the relief that this fund pro-
vides for India, it provides a substan-
tial evidence that Canadians have a
real intrest in the whole Empire and
it thus serves the double purpose of
philantropy and patriotism.
We do not believe that any person
ever imagined that it was possible for
any one agency to raise so large a sum
and to enlist the sympathies of such an
enormous cumber of people as has
been done by the Star.

Heavy Losses and
No Insurance.
The women of Canada lose thousands
of dollars every year by haying valu-
able garments and goods ruined by
adulterated dyes.
There being no security or insurauce
against losses resulting from spurious
and deceptive dyes, defrauded women
cannot claim damages or expect to be
recouped by the makers of the com-
mon dyes.
