The By -Law Agreements.
The Corporation of the Village of
Exeter and the Gibb Company and
the corporation and The Connor Conc-
pany have entered into agreements on
which the by-laws are based. The by-
laws which are published elsewhere
tell what the town is expected to do in
each case. ‘Ve have taken the time
this week to examine carefully copies
of the agreements, and for the infor-
mation of the public we herewith men-
tion in concise form what each coin -
pally agrees to du.
The Gibb Company agrees to con-
tinue the business already established;
to make the land, building, plant,
machinery, etc., worth at least $3000;
to have a seven kiln plant installed
and ready for operation not later than
August lat, 1008; to operate the plant
not less than three months each year
for ten years; to employ not less than
twenty-five hands; to pay the costs of
submitting the by-law in case it passes;
to repay the $500 if the company does
not live up to the agreement; and fur-
ther to give the corporation a lien on
the plant for ten years. On reading
over this agreement the surprising
thing to us is that the company would
agree to such terms. Everything
seems to be in favor of the town.
When the amount of labor they will
pay fur is considered we cannot but
conclude that from the town's point of
view the industry is to he had at a re-
markable bargain.
Looking at the Connor agreement
we find another bargain for the people
of Exeter. The Connor Motor and
Machine Company is to he as joint
stock company with a capital of $23000
to he formed in 1905. A factory for
the manufacture of gasoline eugtnes
will be acquired; the land, building,
plant, etc., shall be woith at least $10,-
000; to be operated at least ten years;
if they fail to operate for ten years $30
a year will be paid back to the town
for the years when not operated. In
case the company is not formed in the
present year Connor Bros. will pay for
the submitting of the by-law. No
money is to be paid the company until
the $l0,000 plant is erected. The Cor-
poration is to hold a lien on the plant
for the ten years. The value of this
industry is indiapotahle and meets we
believe with the consent of all citizens.
The gasoline engine manufactured by
Connor Bros. is a good one and the
demand for these engines for small
mechanical work and farts work is
very great. Connor Bros. are straight-
forward, reliable men and the town
may expect nothing but a straight
deal from such men.

Heavy Storms Friday Night.
A very heavy thunder and light-
ning sto, in massed over Huron County
on Pride) night. No damage was
done near Exeser and only those who
are troubled by such storms during
the night knew that anything unusual
was occurring;. Other places seem to
have been struck heavily by the ele-
ments. At Brucefleld reports say that
no such amount of rain had fallen in
so short a time in thirty years. Two
culverts are reported washed away
near that place, with the result that
the trains were unable to pass north
or south on Saturday morning. A
great deal of fence was also washed
away. Things have been righted
since.
Hensel', March 28th. --A disastrot
thunderstorm passed through this se
lion last ni ht. Several fires were vi
ible from IE ensall. Considerable dam-
age was done in the village with water,
ars the thunder and lightning were ac-
companied with almost a flood of rain.
The cellar of Mr. Hemphill's drug store
was flooded, causing a damage to
goods stored there to the amount of
$200.00. Several other business places
were likewise flooded, besides private
residences. Work in some of the
mills and foundry had to be suspended
owing to those places being under wa-
ter. The street and sidewalks in some
places in the village are covered to the
deptb of several inches. Drains are
blocked and refuse to carry off the wa-
ter, causing it to hack up in the cellars.
It will take a few days for the water
to entirely run away.

Clinton, March 28th. -The Stapleton
tramway, connecting the Ransfo►•d
Salt Works witb the G. T. R„ is in
danger of being washed away by the
flood. and is now several feet out of
place.
During the night the shipping room
of Fair's flour mills was flooded, there
being about 18 inches of water, and as
a result several hundred dollars' worth
of flour was datnaged. Mr. Fair
claims it was a defective town drain
that caused the damage, and the
Council will be asked to settle. The
electrical storm which passed over this
district during the night was very se-
vere.
A farmer named Smitlt, living on
the fourth concession of Stanley. lost
Iris barns by fire. Lightning was the
cause.
The G. T. R. train which left here
this morning at 0.20 ran into a washed-
oqt culvert about half way between
here and Seaforth, and a bad wreck is
the result. The train was in charge
of Conductor James Lavell, with Jas.
Farr as Engineer, and Fireman Colbey,
all of Goderich. The engineer had his
leg hurt, and was also cut around the
face, and the firemen suffered more
seriously, having a number of bis ribs
broken, and is otherwise injured.
Fortunately the accident happened in
a cut, or it would have been more seri-
ous. As it was, the front of the en-
gine ploughed into tbe embankment,
and the tender flew off on the other
side. The baggage car and two of the
coaches are all stripped of their trucks
and are sideways on the track, while
the parlor car spans the track.
