R. Miteheltree's wheel from the Thompson House, King street, on July 18th. Wm. Spohn and Louis Schraeder are the names given by the accused, both of whom are young Ger- mans, and lige a few miles west of Ex eter. Their capture was brought about in a most unexpected way. Since the bicycle was stolen, the city police had seen or heard nothing' of it, and its re- covery was almost given up as a bad job. But on Saturday night Spohn and Schraeder took a trip frotn their home to the city, and stopped with a friend living an the north side of Huron street, and next door to the house occupied by Mitcheltree's father. Yesterday morn- ing one of the visitors went out for a ride on his Nighthawk wheel, and when a brother of Miteheltree saw the ma- chine he instantly recognized it as the one stolen from the Thompson House. Young Mitcheltree notified the detec• tives, who visited the house and found the wheel and Schraeder, and brought both to the pollee station. During the afternoon the detectives again called at the place and arrested Spohn, who had in his possession a Stearns bicycle. Both are charged with the theft of Mitchel tree's wheel. Tho police have also learned that the prisoners pawned a bicycle in this city ou July 18, half an hour before Mitchelcree's was stolen. The pawn broker positively identified one of the accused, and the other sub sequently admitted having been in the second hand shop when the wheel was disposed of. Both the men were seen to go from the pawnshop in the direc- tion of the Thompson House. They were convicted before Magistrate Parke on Monday, when Schraeder was prov- en to be the thief and Spohn an acces sory. Both the prisoners were remand- ed until Tuesday, the 16th, for sentence. The remand was made to give the po• lice an opportunity of finding an owner for the wheel pawned at Levy's, and. after be was removed to the cells, Schraeder admitted having stolen it from a church at Hensall two or three months ago. The Hensall poliee will be communicated with.

He was hit on the corner of the forehead the Bead thrown suddenly- backward and his neck dislocated; he gave one or two grasps, and expired.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NEWS. The rural schools will open for the first term on Monday, August 15th, and in urban municipalities the first term begins on September 1st. The Public School Leaving examin- ation will be conducted in 1899 on the same course of study as in 1898, Physiology and Temperance beim; taken instead of Botany. (See course of study on last page of Register.) The examination will be conducted by the Entrance Board of Examiners as in for- mer years. Copy books, drawing books and bookkeeping books will not be ex- amined for either 11. S. Entrance or P. S. Leaving. The special literature lessons for Entrance and Leaving for 1899 are given on the third page of the register for 1899. This register has been sent to each school by the in- spector this week. Teachers and trustees are recommen- ded to read carefully the regulations and course of study given on the last six pages of the new register. The register contains a sheet on which a copy of the minutes of the annual meet- ing in December, 1898, should be sent to the Inspector. The annual report and the report of attendance have been combined and simplified. All persons wishing to attend the Model school should notify the Inspec- tor or Principal of the Model school before August 25th. Applicants will be notified by the Secretary of the County Board directly after their meet- ing when they are to be in attendance and which school they are to attend. Any person who has a Primary or a higher standing, and who will be eigh- teen years of age before the close of the term, may be admitted. Teachers who consider that their schools are entitled to share in the grant for continuation classes are re- quested to send to the Inspector of West Huron before September 1st, the following information : This year in which the principal was appointed, his professional certificate and the num- ber of pupils regularly attending dur- ing the academic year 1897-8, who had passed examinations before 1898— (a) H. S. Entrance, (b) P. S. Leaving. (See regulations 20 and 21.) Teachers are asked not to forget the resolutions passed at the West Huron Teachers' Institute in May. It is the duty of every teacher to do what he can to make the local Institute meet ings a success. How many teachers are working to obtain a Teachers Reading Course certificate ? The Very Latest. The London Free Press of Wednes- day says.:—Early yesterday afternoon a man called at the police station and imparted the rather startling informa- tion that he could pilot the officers to a woods not many miles from the city where the dead body of the slayer of P. C. Toohey was to be found. The strang- er claimed to belong to Crediton, Huron county, but before undertaking the task of locating the peg -leg, he wanted a positive assurance that he would get the reward of $500 offered by the city, or a portion of it, for the capture of the tramp. He admitted that he had not seen the long sought murderer, but he said he was a mind reader, and was sure he could locate him. Chief Wil- liams listened to the story, but he put no faith in it, and the fellow would have been compelled to go home with his hopes dashed to the ground had not one of the police volunteered to accom- pany him to the woods. The man, who gave the name of Rowe, and his occupation as a shoe- maker, was satisfied the peg -leg had committed suicide, rather than starve to death. He had gone as far as the bor- der, he said, and finding it impossible to get across the river below Sarnia owing to its being so closely watched, he began to work his way eastward again. The peg leg had met a small boy in the woods and made a clean breast of the whole affair, saying that he was sorry the moment after firing the fatal shot. He even refused to wait in the woods while the boy went to a house to get him something to eat, fear- ing that the lad world return with help, and he (the tramp) would be placed under arrest. He complained of hun- ger, however, and passed to another woods, where he ended his life. The London officer who went to the woods with the alleged mind reader had not arrived at the police station at 12 o'clock last night. Centralia A very pleasant hour was spent by our citizens in listening to some splen- did music given by the Glass Family, on Wednesday of last week.—A young man named Harry Cundy, who has for the last eight months been employ- ed as a farm hand at Mr. McCoy's, left here for Birr, on Sunday last. The cause of his departure is unknown.— Miss Martha Hill, of Toronto, is visiting friends here.—Miss May Boyle, of Lon- don, is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Boyle, of this place.—Mr. T. Boyle and wife, of Exeter, spent a few days of last week here,—Miss Mary Mardon, of $t. - Johns, is visiting at Mrs. J. J. Colwill's. —Miss Maud Jones is gone to spend the summer holidays with her friends. —Mr. G. H. Schoof occupied the pul pit here on Sunday evening, and de- livered to•a large congregatiou a very interesting talk; also on Monday even- ing he gave a lecture which was well attended and much appreciated. On Tuesday evening he finished his lec- ture with a very nice show of seven different tribes, which was well taken, and all were satisfied that it was the best lecture ever given here, Receipts or the two nights were $42. ly bruised, but be was fortunate in escaping with his life, as he might easily have been killed, says the Ex- positor. Chiselhurst : Mr. John Brintnell met with an accident last Saturday even- ing, As he was returning from Hen- sall, about a mile and a quarter west of Chiselhurst, his horse shied at some object on the side of the road, throwing him out of the buggy and injuring' him severely. Mr. Duncan McTavish was on his way to Hensall on his wheel and happened along about the time of the accident and brought home the horse and buggy. The axle of the buggy was badly bent but no further damage was done to the horse or buggy. Morris tp.: During the heavy thunder storm, Friday, the barn of Mr. Robert Stiller, of Sunshine, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The barn contained all Mr. Miller's hay and this season's crop of fall wheat, which was destroyed, to. gather with a number of implements, including a binder. Eighteen pigs and five or six calves also perished in the flames. Although there was some in- surance in the Howick Mutual, Mr. Miller's loss will be very heavy, as he will have nothing left from his season's work. St. Marys: On Tuesday morning Chief Young was telephoned from Strat- ford to arrest a man named Jas. Newell, who was wanted there on the charge of threatening to shoot. He left there Monday for the Halfway House and reached the Grand Central, St. Marys, about five o'clock Tuesday morning, calling up the hostler to feed his horse. Afterwards, while the hostler was at breakfast, Newell drove out the back way and was gone bef.•re Chief Young got the message. It turns out the rig was a stolen one and the Stratford pol- ice are after him. Mitchell : Saturday evening Mrs, Wm. Squires and her daughter, Zephy, Logan, drove into town in a two wheeled cart. There was no britch- ing on the harness, and when coming down the incline south of Mr. Roney's carriage shop the rig ran onto the horses heels, which so frightened the animal that he ran away, turned the corner east on main street at frightful speed, and continuing until a buggy standing in front of Mr. Fred Davis' store was collided with, causing a gen- eral smash, and throwing Mrs. Squires and her daughter out with such force as to cause a serious fracture of one of the legs of the former lady. Miss Squires was fortunate to escape with a slight bruise on the forehead. The horse continued running until he reached his stable, some three miles from Mitchell. Seaforth : Mr. Thos. Stephens, who has been on the road as cigar traveller for some. time, is again in charge of the Queen's hotel here. Lucan : John Fox has built an ad- dition to his grain storehouse at the station that will give him much more room for storing grain. The addition is 18 feet wide and the full length of the old storehouse. Usborne : One evening recently while Mr Higgins was out viewing the farm, he attempted to climb a fence and is so doing his foot slipped when a few rails from the bottom, causing him to fall, breaking three of his ribs. He will be laid up for some time but we hope soon to hear of his recovery. Goderich Tp : On Wednesday Robt. J. Henderson met with a serious ac- cident at Sowerby's, Goderich town- ship, being caught between the separa- ter and granary. The mishap was caused by the horses attached to the machine starting suddenly, but for- tunately for Henderson he was caught just between the lower rib and hip, the part that can stand considerable pres- sure. Biddulph : The township council met Monday at Lucan. The rates for the year were:levied, which will be the same as last year. The county rate is this year $162 more than last year. which will mean that the town- ship fathers must spend that amount less so as to get along with the same rate. Hay _ Another old resident of this township passed away on Saturday, in the person of John Troyer of Parr Line. He died at the residence of his son Ed. mond, in his seventy-ninth year, and was buried on Tuesday. The deceased had a large connection in this section, and was much respected by all who knew him. A runaway accident occurred on Thursday night near St. Thomas in which a seven-year-old son of Mr. Jas. Marlatt was killed. W. E. Gillespie, the Penetanguishene merchant who failed recently, was com- mitted for trial Thursday at Montreal on a charge of fraud. The inquest on the body of Joseph Laidlaw of Hamilton, who was killed by the Radial Railway, resulted in a verdict of accidental death. Bullock's Corners Episcopal Church has a choir trouble, and it is said that last Sunday the choir sang different hymns from those given out by the minister, thereby causing some confu- sion in the services. An attempt was made to burn Bickle & Healy's brewery at Cobourg. The incendiary broke into the Government supply house and stole a quantity of coal oil. With this they saturated a partition in the brewery and then set fire to it. The wa,chman quenched the flames, Clinton: On Monday evening, while Mr. J. C. Miller's carryall was on its way to Bayfield, and had just got a short distance down the Bayfield road, the horses took fright at a piece of pa- per, and suddenly cramping the rig, overturned it into the ditch, The only occupant of the rig beside the driver was Miss Fentress, of Detroit, who was rendered unconscious by the accident, and having no power in her limbs, it it was feared her spine had also been injured. Oliver Johnston happened to be driving along just after the accident happened, and he brought Miss Fentress to town, where doctors were quickly in attendance. It was found, however, that her injuries were not of a serious nature. u ATxla Wou.r.tax.—In Usborne, on August 8, Elizabeth Scott, belovedwife of Jo- seph Worden, aged 36 years and 3 months. Will Dignan spent a couepl of, days in London last week. Miss May Armstrong, after a pleas- ant visit with friends in London, re- turned home Monday.
