Sanders, Editor and Prop .tURSDA$I MAY 13, 1897, The Monetary Times discussing l. na the causes of business failures remarks that " Many and varied are the reasons from time to time by merchants for making assignments, One man will claim that speculating in real estatewas the cause of his down fall, another be ?trees that his competitors use too enemy underhand methods in getting trade; some other man will blame him self for giving so much credit. Just now the popular exeuse is that the .'de - p artmtitit stores in larger cities are the cause of so much destructions to 'lust tress interests, and :laws it for s0 many failures. ':here is a lot of tenth inthis contention, and about the only advice that can be given is to buy good goods - employ clever salesmen, keep spirited, use printer's ink liberally and wait for developments." The Monetary Times might have advised also to do business ou the cash. system, It is possible to do a suecesaful bltsinesa and yet allow a moderate amount of credit, but not ev- ery merchant knows how to do it. He is after a while dumfounded at the maga of aecotults that have accumulated an his books and fettered his operations' Every man must judge for himself, of taurso, but we venture the opinion that there should be more business men in Exeter selling for cash only than there are. A Child Hanged. Kingston >Iay S. -Bessie Jennings, the adopted daughter of Mrs. Jane Jen- nings, hiving near Yarker, was found bang,::g suspended from, a tree. The child was six years and six months old. Her death was the result of strangula- tion, the tot falling off a box on which she had gone to sleep, having first tied her apron abouw a limb and strings about her neck. The adopted mother had often tied the child in an apron in the house, to save her from danger while the mother worked, and the little one remembered this, and imitated her mother's action. While asleep the child fell off the box and strangled. His Head Sawed Ofd, Huntsville, Ont., May 11 -A horrible accident happened about:9 p. m. this evening in the Euutsville Lumber Company's mill, when Robert Brady, of this place, met with instant death.

SIXTEEN BURNED QR SMOTHERED BETWEEN DECKS. Resignation of Gaoler Dickson. The Warning Came Too Late -Cowardly Stokers Attempt to Seize u. Boat -Captain and Crew Driven Back bY the Flames - A. Passenger's Story of the Fire. New York, May 10. -Tho Mallory Line steamer Leona, which left her pier oil Baturday, bound for' Galveston, put beak, and arrived in port yesterday, six- teen persons haying perished. The dead were steerage passengers on the steamer who succumbed in a terrible struggle during a. fire which occurred off the Delaware capes at an early hour yester- day horning. The horror of the story can hardly be detailed. Those who are dead were penned up below decks, and although frantic: efforts were made by the officers to save them, the fico had such terrific headway before the danger was discov- ered that all escape was cut off. Tile steamer carried amongst her cargo many bales of cotton. It is not certain how the fire originated, but when it was diseoyered it burst forth with such fury that it was impossible to reach the steer- age, even when the steerage passengers apparently were unmindful of the danger. or else the smoke and dances had not reached them.' The saloon naSSeugei!9 were fleet aroused and In, such a manner as to occasion little alarm. When it became apparent that the fire had out off the steerage passengers, the captain and his , men poured great quantities of water down the ventilator and eight of the steerage passengers finally sue. °ceded in making their escape. A TALE OF HORROR. Among, the passengers were S. V. Winslow, of Rutherford, N. J. On his return to this city late last night Mr. Winslow told the following graphic story of the fire "We left the pier at 3 o'clook yesterday afternoon with clear skies and beautiful weather. Sandy Hook was passed and the lights of the Jersey shore were still visible when we went to bad. By the time we passed Barnegat Light, at 10 o'clock, all the passengers were in bed. The passengers in the steearge had also retired to their bunks. "First M:ate Wallace was pacing the bridge about a.m., when he thought he smelled smoke coining from the fore- castle. He went down forward to the companionway and opened the door of the steerage. There was a burst of flame which burnt his face. Wallace ran on deck and gave the alarm of fire to the forward watch, telling them to awake the steward and have all passengers awakened as quickly as possible, without creating any excitement. Tho steward did this in a quiet manner, going to each stateroom and waking the occu- pants. He said in calm tones there was a slight fire in the forward part of the ship and it might be advisable for the passengers to got their things together. It might be possible, he added, that the ship would. eventually have to be aban- doned. "There was no excitement among the saloon passengers. Most of them packed their luggage and carried it from their stateroom .into the main saloon. The steward made frequent trips forward and came back with the reports of the pro- gress of the flames. He said that the fire was confined below docks, and as the flames diad not rise very high the pas- sengers dial. not fully realize tine exteISO of their peril IN A FIERY FURNACE. "Captain Wilder rushed on deck at the first alarm, clad only in an undershirt and trousers. He assumed command, and at once ordered the crew to rescue the steerage passengers. On the same deck with the steerage, on the port side of the ship, a large quantity of cotton bagging was stored, separated from the steerage passengers er s bya board partition. The mai deck was almost completely Saturday, last William Dickson, who has been governor of the jail for the past twenty years, with credit to him self and benefit to the country, volun- tarily closed his official career, owing *o the infirmities of age and increasing years. Mr. Dickson has proved him- self to be a good public servant and his many friends hope that he will be Song spared to enjoy a green old age, after the activities of 78 years, the greater portion of which was spent in the hurly-burly of active business and public life. He was born iniaalasbieis, Roxboro', Scotland, on Jane 22nd, 1819, and came to Canada in 1834, settling first in Beckwick township, county of Lanark. 33e owned the first lot in Renfrew vil• lage and was a member of the first council in that village. He aided in establishing the Renfrew Journal, now the Mercury, but in 1865 left that sec- tion and moved. to Goderich. He was appointed turnkey at the gaol on the 15th of Oct., 1885, and succeeded to the gaolership in 1877. He was married in 1852 and Mrs. Dickson died in 1895, SHOW UR TO THE PUBLIC, As the public -particularly the 'lad- ies -are so oftenswindled by profit - loving merchants and dealers, it is well that people should have an example of what is done in the sale of certain package dyes forhome dyeing. The makers of common and adulter- ated package dyes sell their crude col- ors to the retail merchants at a cost, of four cents per packet, and the public who buy these deeeptlon dyes are made to pay ten eents for them. A hand- some profit indeed for Mr Storekeeper! No wonder be uses every endeavor to sell and substitute his poor dye for the famous and reliable Diamond Dyes.

Captain Wilder saw his crew driven back from the companionway and the realiza- tion of the horror below made him desperate. He rushed to the stairs and boldly attempted to go below. He d ti not get down more than half a dozen steps when the increasing clouds of smoke and flames shooting up'around him drove him back on deck. "Only a slight wind was blowing, from the southward, that carried the volume of smoke at over the full length of the ship and enveloped her in a shroud of choking black smoke, until the captain gave orders to change the course completely, so that the smoke would be blown over the bow. The speed of the ship was first slackened, then the order was given to keep her up bare steerage way. I stood in the lee of the pilot house watching the officers and crew making futile efforts . to reach the steerage. Thehorror of the situation was at first paralyzing. It seemed' as though the men and women, whom I had seen go into steerage the day before were being cremated beneath my feet. "Tho deck was getting blistering hot. The flames were creeping higher and higher, through ever outlet from beneath the deck. The pouring of water down the conpanionway and through the ventila- tors.had no effect save to chive up the smoke in great puffs and cause angry spurts of lire to dart menacingly into the faces of the men. "During the excitement of the first halt hour we did not know that anyone had gotten out of the steerage alive, but later we found in ..the cabin eight of them whir had managed to get out.

Every time the Local Legislature meets in Toronto the Municipal Act is twisted and amended by government interference so that the municipal office als can hardly keep track of the chang- es. The following are some of the lead- ing changes as they affect cities, towns, villages and townships: Towns and villages nxay acquire water privileges and create therefrom water power, and may lease or sell pow. er with the consent of the ratepayers. Market fees have been reduced in all cities and towns to 10 and 5 cents, Cities and towns may establish a tel• ephone service. Every municipality may expend a fixed sum for advertising information as to the advantages of the municipal ity as a manufacturing, business edu- cational or residential ceutre. Cities and towus of over 5,000 population, $500; other municipalities, not exceed- ing' $100. Municipalities may set aside a por- tion of the highway as a bic d a path, and any person driving on or along the same with horses or vehicle renders himself liable to a fine. When a vacancy occurs in the office of xliege.. ageiee sr the letr:. hare p ., ,.... of choir tl 11 shall elect one year the council own number to fill the office during the remainder of the year; or, in case of a temporary absence of the head of the council from illness or other cause, the council may appoint one of the mem begs to fill the vacancy, and he shall have all the powers of the head of the council, If any member of the council or any n auditor makes an untrue financial statement, nt, or knowingly -om its from the statement to be issued on the 15th day of December in every year, he shall be liable to a fine of $4:0 and costs. In the financial line municipal coun- cils are prohibited from borrowing more than 80 per cent of the amount to be collected as taxes in any year. Councils liable for the maintenance of a boundary line or highway may agree as to what part df such boundary line or highway each shall mantain, and shall be liable for accidents only on the part to be mantained by them, respectively. A considerable coufusion was caused at the last election for County council- lors as to the eligibility of candidates. Under the old draft of the new County council elections those holding any position such as councillor, reeve, or. deputy were not eligible to run for the county position. Aud further, the law was vague with regard to whether a Warden was elected for one or two years. The County councillors are elected for two years, and the iuferenee was that the Wardens served the same term of two years. However, now a member of the municipal council may become a candidate for election as a County councillor without resigning his office as municipal councillor, but he may not sit in the County council. while continuing to be a member of a municipal council. Wardens are to hold office far but one Stratford, May 7.-A yoiing man named John Riddell of -Shakespeare was run over on the G.' T," R. a few miles east of here this morning at 2 o'clock and killed.
