A Wedding and Other Things, ` This is the touching way an which a Wisconsin editor wrote up a wedding. —"Miss Jennie Jones and Bob Henry were married at the Jones mansion last night. The bride is a daughter of our constable Jones, who is a good of- ficer and will undoubtedly be re elect- ed next: spring. He offers a fine horse for sale in another column. The groom runs a grocery store on Main street and is a good patron of our ad. columns and has a fine lot of bargains this week. All summer he paid two cents more a pound for butter than any other store in the town. The happy couple left on the ten o'clock train to visit the bride's uncle in Mil- waukee, who is reported to have lots of money and Bright's disease. .Bob certainly has an eye for business." Nervy Thief. The bar room of the Mansion House was again entered by a sneak thief on Sunday exerting last and somewhere between $8 and $10 taken from the till. The robbery took place about '7 o'clock in the evening, at which time the proprietor and some friends were engaged in conversation in the sitting room across the hall, This is :the third or fourth time the room has been entered and it was a mystery as to how the thief made his entrance, he having covered his tracks so complete- ly, On Sunday night, however, he seems to have hurried away leaving the barroom door, a little Window and. a fanlight over the door open, show- ing that be had entered through the washroom, moved a table so as to put his arm through the opening of the fanlight, open the little window neat the door catch and, then by means, of the .window opened the floor, ' The rest was easy. iimiew ...:.imiiii—. , ii.ope O, . «a ni. • "4Winner" that $2 85 Ladies' tai- lor -Merle -Cloth skirt at Stewittt's. House of Reffae Notes The funeral was held on Friday to Bal ezy Clinton Cemetery, of the late James St. John, who died the day previous at the H. of R. where he had resided for the past three months, owing to a mental trouble that could not be look- ed after at his home. The deceased had lived to a good old age being near- ly 90, and owned a good farrr on the 7th of Goderich township, on which his bereaved wife now resides with a married step -son. Mr. and Mrs. St. John were not blessed with children of their own flesh and blood, but be- ing comfortably situated, did their part out of the goodness of their hearts in rearing and seeing some nine adopt- ed children well started in life.—"Tom- my" Sherman, the oldest man in the county, crossed the bar on Saturday. He is supposed to have been 103 years of age, but the exact date of his birth is not known. He was a native of Bedfordshire, England, brit came to Clinton in 1850 and continued' a resi- dent until he entered the House of Re- fuge five years ago. He possessed a splendid constitution and his passing awaywas due to no particular ail- ment, but to the wearing out of his physical machinery. Fred Coleman's Fatal Fall. The unfortunate accident which oc- cured in Fort William, Ont., about two weeks ago resulted in the death of Mr. Fred Coleman, formerly of Exeter, on Saturday night last. Mr, Coleman left Exeter about four'. years ago, and re- sided in various places in Ontario and the Northwest until a few months ago, when he went to Fort William with his wife. He commenced work at his trade as a painter, and he was engaged at his trade when injured. He and a number of other painters were engag- ed on the inside of a large grain eleva- tor. The work was dangerous, as the workman had to be supended from the roof of the building by ropes. The. work had to be done in a hurry, as the elevator was needed along with others for the season's crop. Coleman. was working near the top of the elevator, when the rope by which he was sus- pended snapped, and he fell to the floor, a distance of nearly a hundred feet. Strange to say he was not in- stantly killed, though he received ter- rible injuries. His right leg and his right arm, on which he had fallen, were badly fractured, and his" right side w -as crushed. It was thought from the outset that there was no possible chance of his recovery. Mrs. Coleman, of Exeter, the injured man's mother, and her son John, of London, left for Fort William when notified of the ac- cident. Encouraging reports were sent home regarding the condition of the injured man, oonsequently word of his death came as a shock. The•re- mains were interred at Fort William on Monday. Besides his mother, the Late Mr. Coleman leaves a wife, a na- tive of Ottawa, and to whom he was married only five months ago; and two brothers, John, employed by. J. Tune & Son, in London, and George in Exeter. He was about 25 years of age. Council Minutes. Council met pursuant to adjourn- ment at Town Hall, Oct. 10. All pres- ent.
