STORY OF A CLAIRVOYANT.
Says Young Man was Murdered in
Lake Montfort'.
A despatch from Montreal says:
Impressed with the story of a clair-
voyant that, her son was murdered
and his body sunk in Lake Mont. -
ford, Mrs. Francis Fournier sent a
diver on Wednesday to search the
bottom of the lake. Impressed
with her faith, which was in line
with their own suspicions, two
Provincial detectives went with the
cover in a further effort to unravel
this new mystery of the mountains.
Last November Francis Fournier,
jun., was working with a contrac-
tor in the mountains. He went
duck -shooting ono day with a com-
panion and was never soon again.
The story which carne to Montreal
was that he was drowned by the
upsetting of the canoe. It is now
believed that murder was commit-
ted.

Commi,.ion 11:1• Issued an Import-
ant Order.
A despatch from Olt:►wa says:
The Railway Commission has finally
approved and sent out two very
important orders. One concerns
the uniform rules for the operation
of trains. Negotiations between
the companies, the railway bro-
therhoods and the board have been
in progress a year and a half, and
a cede of regulations, making up a
good-sized book, is now adopted.
They apply to all Canadian rail -
sass, and are calculated to mini-
mize accidents to public and em-
ployes. Another subject disposed
of is the bill of lading. which is
made uniform in its application to
railways and shippers generally.
WHEAT TRAINS WILL RCN.
Over New Road From Winnipeg to
Lake Superior.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
The Transcontinental Railway Com-
missioners report that the Winni-
peg -to -Lake -Superior section of the
road will be ready to lease to the
Grand Trunk Pacific early in Sep-
tember, thus enabling the company
to carry at least a portion of this
year's crop handled on its train
line west of Winnipeg through to
Fort. William. It is, however,
doubtful if the road from :Winni-
peg to Superior Junction will be in
shape this fall to handle all the
traffic offering. With a new road
there is bound to be a few bad
spots where it will take some time
to get the roadbed in shape t, pro-
perly handle traffic, and if the fall
brings heavy rains there will pro-
bably be many delays through
washouts, etc. However, an effort
i• being made to hurry along the
completion of the road. and during
the latter part of the fall it is ex-
pected the wheat trains will be run-
ning over it.
A Pt:N1'1'1•:NT THIEF.

A despatch from Ottawa says:
A conscience-stricken thief on Tues-
day left in the shed in the rear of
the house of John :Williamson of
Woodroffe, three miles from Ot-
tawa, jewellery valued at RSO,
stolen from the residence a fort-
night ago. A gold watch and
chain, two gold rings and various
other articles were brought back
during the night by the thief, who,
however, neglected to show com-
plete repentance by retaining $30
in cash which he also stole.

LEOPARD AND BUFFALO
L'OW'S BRAVE BATTLE FOlt ITS
CALF.
Leopard's Fierce Fight With Buf-
falo Ended in the Death of
the Former.
I was hunting one day, with a
shikaree, for food. We were un-
successful in getting a shot on the
veldt and so decided to wait at a
viei (water hole) till the game canto
to drink.
A second or two later the broad
horns of a buffalo bull showed
through the leaves and then came
a cow with a calf. They carte to
the water and drank. I did not
shoot, as I wanted one of the smal-
ler antelopes.
All at once, like an arrow from
the tree above, shot the form of a
leopard on to the back of the buf-
falo calf. in a flash there was a
v; ild stampede.:111 ran but the buf-
falo cow, the pother of the calf.
When the calf was struck it fell ei-
ther dead or unconscious, and the
snarling leopard stood over its prey
for a second. Then the cow charged
and hurled the marauder from her
prostrate young. A fight commenc-
ed in earnest.
'RUSHED THE LEOPARD.
Tho leopard speartZ to its feet
and in an instant was on !rhe, back
f the cow. :With the agility of .a
v, restler she fell and rolled over her
aggressor, arising to her feet again
in a flash. Before the leopard could
spring she rushed at him with a
bellow like a fog horn, struck hint
full on and tossed hint into the
water. In a moment the leopard
was on the bank again. It sprang
at the cow's throat but missed ns
she dodged aside. Again the Ice, -
pard sprang. The cow fell back,
lifted her head and caught it full
underneath her horn penetrating
the leopard's body. Thr leopard
roared with pain as it fell to the
ground, bleeding freely from its
double wound, and the cow was
covered with gashes from its an-
tagonist's claws.

ADMIRALS J.tl'K T.tItS LOVE.
i e!oved Alike by Their Officers and
Men.
Lord "Charlie" Beresford pus-
sessed to au altogether extraordin-
ary degree the power of winning
the love of his "handy men" -a
very much more difficult feat than
that of commanding their obedi-
ence.
Nelson, the greatest admiral pro-
bably that Britain ever had, eas-
ily accomplished the latter. But
that he never succeeded in achiev-
ing the former is a matter of com-
mon knowledge. His sailors dis-
liked him personally as cordially as
they respected his genius as a com-
mander. They even found fault
with his last famous signal. "Eng-
land expects every man to do his
duty," they repeated contemptu-
cusly to one another. "What : does
the old bounder think we ain't
t.'-goin' to do it?"
Admiral Rodney was beloved
alike by his officers and his men,
so that it was said of him that ho
had no one single enemy through-
out the fleet. The same remark
applied, too, to the unhappy Ad-

by his officers to so great a degree
that in his last engagement with
the enemy they even went to the
extreme length of refusing to fight
under him, and sailed their ships
out of action, with the result that
two of them were tried by court-
martial on their return to Eng-
land, and ordered to be shot.
