from Europe are reaching the Organi-

Peat Fuel Company, as over there
anything bearing on the manufacture
of peat fuel excites an interest born of
a praetical knowledge of the merits of
the subject. All rights outside the
Dominion of Canada, however, belong
to Mr. Dickson, the patentee.
"There are numerous deposits of peat
in Canada, and still more wideepread
are the deposits of decayed vegetate
matter other than sphagnum; every
county, if not every township, con-
tains them, varying in .depth from a
foot to even forty or more feet. Ex-
cellent fuel results in either case.
"The works of the Parent Compauy
are located at the Welland bog—about
4,000 acres in extent—and here they
have also a plant for bailing peat moss
-which covers its entire area, and
which, in the case of most other sphpg-
num deposits has been burnt off the
surface. The moss is shipped to New
York for litter. It is capable of being
used for the nianufactuee of paper
stock, carpets and almost any textile
fabric, as will be seen by reference to
the article in the Scientific American
of San. 7th, entitled 'Remarkable Uses
of Peat.' The products obtained by
distillation are both varied and com-
mercially valuable. Another excellent
deposit of decayed sphagnwn is the
Ellice marsh, north of Stratford, Ont.,
which is the site for the principal op-
erations of the proposed Iluron Dis-
trict Peat Company.'4

McKillar, Ont., March 27e—On Sat-
urday evening John Batley, who runs
a sawmill in this village accompanied
by two of his employes, went down to
the mouth of the Segein River to take
the stop Jogs out of Manitowauba dam
and thus lower the water level, so as
to enable it to rim the mill properly.
Batley had succeeded in removing two
logs, and was engaged on the third
when he slipped into the water jus
above the dam, and the force of the
current shot him through the slide
and he was seen no more by those who
accompanied him, The body was no
recovered until evening.
Suicide at St. Marys.
St. Marys, March 27.—Sunday even-
ing the church -going people of St.
Marys were greatly shocked as it was
whispered around from pew to pew
that during the still hours of the after-
noon a terrible tragedy had been ere
acted at the home of the late Frank
Anderson, e wealthy retired farmer,
who up to about a -year ago had lived
on Ontario street south, the victim be-
ing Miss Maggie Anderson, who judg-
ing from her surroundings when the
body was found, had deliberately tak-
en her own life by cutting her throat
with a razor. It appears that since the
death of her father, Miss Anderson had
lived alone with a nephew and neice.
The children attended Sunday school
in the afternoon and on returning
home found the door locked. They
communicated the unusual Ohmura -
stances to some neighbors and about
six o'clock the door was forced and
search made for Miss Anderson. ViThen
found she was lying on the floor in an
upstairs room and presented a most
shocking sight. In her right hand was
firmly clasped a razor, while a pool of
blood on the floor anda gaping wound
at her throat told the story of a terri-
ble tragedy. Dr. J. II. Mathison was
hastily summoned, but the body was
already deeth. The undertak-
er Was called in and given directions
to prepare the remains for burial, the
doctor evidently considering an in-
quest quite unnecessary. Miss Ander-
son was about 64 years of age and was
esteemed by a wide circle of acquaint-
ances as an exemplary women. What,
led her to commit such a rash act is
not definitely known, but trouble over
money matters is strongly supposed to
have been at the bottom of it. Miss
Anderson was observes] to be acthig
somewhat, strangely for several days.
She had donned a gold chain and made
deliberate preparation. The estate ( f
the deceased is eetirnated at between
$12,000 end $20,000,

Bicycle Prices.
Several years ago, when the highest

to $150 each, it was again and again

great deeline in priers, because of the
severe competition, in the first . plaete

How well the matter then was diag-

ranks among the highest in the mark-
et. It has all the improvements and
advantages that are known to the
bicycle maker, and is guaranteed fox'
several years, tind yet this model ma-
chine is placed on the market at $40.
Another type of the same machine,
quite as good for actual service, but
not quite so highly fini.shecr, is offered
for $25. This latter machine sold for
e85 two years ago. and the first men-
tioned at $125. They are better than
the earlier ones in every way. 'What

the business was overdone and prices

Makers of bicycles in the U.S. have
arranged the details for the formation
of a trade pool that will involve capi-

understood that ten of the leading
makers of wheels have entered the
combination. No change in the bi-
