Exeter Advocate, 1904-10-13, Page 4e t `ll�r .cafe, Sanders & Creech. Props. THURSDAY, OCT, 1.3, '04' ("Hunan a1-,.0 4/NIO V. At last week's meeting of the West- ern Association of Congregational Ohnzches held hi Forest one of the principal subjects under consideration was that of Church Union. Rev. J. W. Schofield, representing the United Brethren of the Province, made an eloquent appeal for union. Rev. J. B. Silcox, Rev. P. O. L. Harris, Revs. Unsworth and Gunn, and others spoke very much infavor of organic union between the evangelical churches, be- lieving that such was not only desir- able but practicable. Now and again we read of such dis- cussions taking place at meetings of a similar nature to the one mentioned above and almost invariably the senti- ment expressed is in favor of a union of those church bodies, that are, except in afew minor doctrines and usages, so very similar. The differences which exist between these churches are not known or un- derstood by, probably, one out of twenty-five of the members andadher- erlts of the churches. One man is a Methodist because his fathers and grandfathers have been such, not be- cause he understands the doctrines of that church and believes in them as he could in no other. Likewise the great majority of the Presbyterians, Con- gregationalists and Baptists are such, because their ancestors are or were Presbyterians, etc. Where is the need of maintaining four or five churches of different de- nominations in a small town, where at most, two well organized and pro- perly equipped churches, would be sufficient to house and look after the spiritual necessities of the people of that town. Besides many of those petty causes of rivalry and ill feeling that exist to -day would be eliminated by a union of the different bodies. This element of riyalry is, no doubt, one reason why many people take such little interest in the doings of any or all churches. They reason that where ill -will is felt between those who profess to be Christians, when the churches all have for their main object the uplifting of humanity, there can be little of real, true christianity. Then, apart from this, from a mone- tary standpoint, it would cost very much less to build and maintain two churches than four or five. What money might be saved in that way could he handed over to the mission- ary societies, and. by them used in further spreading the gospel to all creatures. It would be unnecessary for the different societies of the churches to resort to many of the means now used to raise the required funds to carry on the work. Not that the means sometimes used are wrong or harmful but, to say the least of them, they are neither instructive nor. elevating. These things could then be done, and the money saved by a lessened expense could be used to advantage in many ways. 'ores A movement along theline of church union must of necessity be slow. Such things cannot, nor should not, be done in a haphazard, off -hand manner. The people must be educated to an under- standing of the existing differences and the best manner of getting rid of them so that there would he no pos- sibility of their ever recurring at any future time. Ministers and layman. of the different denominations .might meet in friendly discussion of :matters of interest to all, and in this and many other ways light might be thrown on a subject of such vital interest to christianity; besides a friendly give- and-take spirit cultivated that would go a long way towards smoothing over any difficulties that might be en. countered. • There can be little doubt that, if all the members of the different religions bodies concerned could be taught how trivial the existing differences between the churches are, and how much union would benefit them and humanity in general, and then given a vote as to whether certain differences should be dropped and the churches united, the majority in favor of Union would be very large. And, of course, a vote of all the members would be the proper method, as the churches exists forall mankind, not for any class. NOTES AND COMMENTS Hon. George E. Foster, Finance Minister for many years ars dr itg the premiership of Sir John A. McDonald, and who was defeatedat the last Do. minion Election was last week nomin- ated as the Conservative candidate in North Toronto. He accepted the nomination. It has been given out that the casu- alties because of railway accidents in *United States for 1903 were9,084 killed attd 78,247 injured. In England there are 50,000 mules of track to United States' 200,000, yet England does a greater pee mile business. that is, they haul rhore passengers more miles yet not one passenger was killed in Eng- land last year. The reason of this Lutist he either the English Companies employ more efficient men, or c3lse syxtr•rn menet be much more perfect, The South Perth Oonsev'vativea met at Mitchell on Oct, 0, and chose Dr Steele as their candidate for the Om- inous. ** About a million dollars would be enough for a man to be worth in order to haste a balance in his favor' after runniegau election campaign in North Renfrew. ** TlieCandidates in East Huron are: Dr. T. Chisholm, Conservative and Dr. P. MacDonald, Liberal. In West Huron, E. N. Lewis, Mayor or Goder- ich; and R. Holmes, Liberal,of Clinton, Robert Holmes is the present member. The town council of Clinton on Mon- day night decided that the question of local option should be submitted to the electors of that town at the municipal election next January. It will be remembered that the council had been twice petitioned regarding local option; first, to allow a vote; second, to rescind their next . decision and not to allow a vote. The result is the vote will be taken as at first de- cided, ** Mr. J. D. Drummond, Reeve of Mc Gillivray, was on Friday last tendered the nomination as Conservative cand- idate for North. Middlesex. .At the last Dominion election the southern part of Huron was included, in the rid- ing of North Middlesex and the con- stituency returned a Conservative, Mr. John Sherritt, .who was also nomin- ated. The new arrangements of the ridings.has left Mr. Sherritt, a resi- dent of South Huron, and it is possible he may be the Conservative choice in this constituency. ** On oath Captain J. Lorne Hale, the defeated Liberal Candidate to the On- tariohouse in North Renfrew, during the progress of a law suit on Tuesday last disclosed the fact that bis election expenses amounted to $40,000, and that be paid $10,000 of the expenses himself, but that the Liberal'organiza- tion through Stratton and Vance were to pay the $30,000. Besides Mr. Hales own livery bill, the livery man claims $1032 is still owed him by the Liberals. It was a matter of much surprise that the Conservative candidates expenses should be $7000, as Mr. Dunlop admit- ted; but when $7,000 is competed with $40,000 there is room for more than the ordinary amount of astonishment. Fraser Chosen for South Huron At the Liberal Convention held in Hensel]. on Tuesday E. Fraser, of Brucefield was cbosen as their candid- ate to contest the South Riding of Huron at the coming election. The delegation was fully representative and what was thought would result in Mr. McEwen being again chosen as standard bearer for the party was sur- prisingly changed in favor of Mr. E. Fraser. 0. S. Hyman, of London,was present and before the ballot was tak- en addressed the convention on hebalf of the Government. The result of the ballot was as follows:—E. Fraser 60; G. McEwen 53; M. Y. McLean 47. The second ballot resulted in Mr. Fraser getting 81 and Mr. McEwen 73. Thus it will be seen that Mr. McEwen, who represented the riding in the late Par- liament has been cruelly turned down, which doubtless will have a telling ef- fect when the ballots are counted on the night of Nov., 3rd. Suffocated in St, Clair Tunnel, Six well-known railway men are now cold in death as a result of being suffocated by gas from the locomotive inhe t St. Clair Tunnel of the Grand Trunk Railway which passes under- neath the St. Clair River from Sarnia to Port Huron. The disaster took place at 6.25 o'clock Sunday morning, at which time Conductor J. B. Simp- son left Port Huron with a freight train for Sarnia. The train consisted of sixteen loaded coal cars and a ca- boose. It was hauled by tunnel en- gine No. 1,301, in charge of Engineer °oilman, of Pert Huron, witb Fire- man Fred. Forester, also of Port Hur• on. The two brakesmen on the train were Alfeed Short and Daniel Gillies, of Sarnia,. When the train was proceeding through the tunnel, ascending the grade, a drawhead on one of the cars pulled out, making the train part in two. The engine and the forward part of the train proceeded out, leav- ing the remainder of the train, with Conductor Simpson' and Brakeman Short, in the tunnel. After Engineer °oilman had placed the oars which he had hauled out, he went back into the tunnel for the balance of the train. The engineer was unable to lift the whole of the cars, and came out a se- cond time -this time with three cars. After these cars had been delivered at the top of the grade, the engine was sent in a third time to bring out the remaining cars. The engine got down to the train and was being coupled on, when Engineer. Coltman collapsedv being overcome by gas. Brakeman Alfred short made his way out of the tunnel on the Port Huron side and gave the alarm. Res- cue parties, nobly risking their lives, entered the tunnel and there found Brakesman Gillies dead beside the track, Conductor Collman dead on the boiler, °onductor Simpson dead in his. chair in the caboose and Fireman Fred Forester in the water tender, still liv- ing but with slight hope of recovery. Of the r escuep attics P bd eeintend- entofthe'Ter►nipals, A. S. Begg, Con- ductor RicbaudTinsley and Brakeman Thos. McGrath were killed by the «as and taken out by their comrades, while many others were overcome to a, greater or lesser degree, but have since recovered. Mr. Gillies and. Mr. MeGrath were formerly residents of our neighbor- hood townt, Ailsa Craig and Parkbill, respectively. Twenty children were left fatherless by the tunnel disaster and five wives were left widows. ]tors say you have used everything for that obstinate case of eonsti anon' this proves that yon have 'not tried Vito Laaxative Frnit Piller -otherwise you would he cured.

Lutz, druggist, keeps them in stock; price 25 cents, Cyclone in Bidaui ,h Township1 l The terrific storm which passed over the northern part of the country early Monday evening was accompan- ied by a wind which in some places al- most reached the proportions of a tor- nado, Considerable damage is report- ed to have resulted. Mr. Henry O. Hodgins, a well know farmer of Bid- dulph township, was possibly the Ilea-. viest loser, He lives two miles south of Lucan, on 4th concession, and be- sides his large brick dwelling., he had two barns .completely demolished by the storm. One of the occupants of the house was Mrs, Hodgins. She was in a front room when the building col- lapsed and was buried under four feet or more of debris. .However, she was not'pinned down by any heavy tim- bers or articles of furniture, and escap- ed with slight injuries, Mr. Hodgins' loss will be quite heavy. The cyclone, after leaving the Hod- gins home, tossed a mile of "snake" rail fence about in such a, manner that not one rail was left on another, Be- fore striking the Chapel line . it out through a quarter mile of bush and, every tree was blown down or broken off. On the Chapel line the fine bank barn of Thotnes Abbot was practically destroyed, and a six-acre.bush levelled to the ground. Wm. Toobey's sheds and Dennis Heenan's orchard were also destroyed. From here to Gran- ton, a distance of five miles there was nothing to indicate that a storm had passed that way, yet the village of Granton felt it in, great severity. The doors were burst open in spite of the strongest locks, boards came flying in through windows, chimneys fell with startling clatter on crackling roofs; huge trees we hurled against. ,houses, and the village stables; were flying about frightfully uncertain where to light. The heat preceding the storm was very intense. - Zurich DEATH,—The angel of death bas again entered our midst and taken away Mrs. Mary Zettel, relict of the late Joseph Zettel, at the age of 61 years. Deceased bad been suffering for some time from consumption of the throat and had been failing very rapidly the last few weeks and on. Sat- urday morning death relieved her of her suffering. Her husband prede- ceased redeceased her about two years. She was of a kindly disposition and was re- spected by all who knew her. She leaves four sons and four daughters, who have the -sympathy of the, com- munity in their bereavement, The funeral took place Tuesday to. the Catholic cemetery.

Granton A very pretty wedding was solemn- ized on Wednesday, the 5th inst., at the home of Mr. Philip Mowbray in Granton, when his daughter, Louise, was united in marriage to Mr. .Rich- ard Gauld of Buffalo. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. E. Holmes, pastor of the Methodist church, in the presence of a large num- ber of intimate friends and relatives. The bridal party entered the parlor promptly at 2 o'clock, to the strains of the wedding march, played by the bride's niece, Miss Mabel Armitage,. of Hamilton. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. R. B. Mow- bray, of Lucan, was dressed in a. beautiiul gown of white Persian lawn. trimmed with valencieunes and all- over laces and carried a 'large boquet of white asters. The bridesmaid, Miss Carrie Miss Carrie Mowbray, sister of the bride, was also dressed in white Persian lawn and carried a boquet of pink asters. The groom was support- ed by Mr. James Murphy, barrister, of Buffalo, while little Miss Vera Dins- more and Miss Luella Mowbray; nieces of the bride, looked charming as flow= er girl and ring bearer respectively. After the ceremony and congratula- tions of tbe guests had been received, all repaired to thedining room, where a dainty dejenner was served. The bride, who formerly livedbere, but of late years has been nursing in Buffalo, "received many beautiful and costly. presents, showing the esteem in which she is held. Among them was a beautiful case of sterling silver spoons, given by her classmate of the Buffalo hospital Late in the afternoon the. bride donned her 'travelling gown of tan broadcloth with hat en suit and. the happy couple left on the evening train for an extended visit •in Detroit and Cleveland. Upon their return they will take rep housekeeping in Buf- falo, where they will be at home to their friends after Nov. let. COAL GAS KILLED SHELIA $EDDY. The mistery regarding thepoison- ing of the family of Mr. W. 13, Reddy, of Detroit, f or mer) Y of U to t n e, has s been solved by Dr. Claipanddetec- tives of Detroit. They have discover- ed that there was a leak in the gas fixtures, which allowed -the gas to come in contact with the potatoes the family had eaten during the even- ing meal of Oct. 18t. The gas is known as carbon monoxide. and is very dead- ly in its effect and at the same time of a hardly noticeable odor when, es - coping slowly, The. reason why the trouble did not tt come eau -lien is probab- ly because the windows had been open- ed all surnlner, but now had been closed., `The Tittle daughter, Shelia, 5 years. old, died shortly after tbe sipper had been eaten, but the other members of the family, Mr. atia Mrs. Keddy and anti • Bettie and Mr. Norman Keddy, have entirely recoved from the effects of the poisoning, Ayers Doctors first prescribed Ayer's Cherry Pectoral over 60 years ago.
