Fred Rounds, a farmer, was killed nearrWelland on Friday by his borses backing the binder on hint, the seat having broke, throwing him ell. A boy named Stephens was killed at the J1ilton Terra Cotta Works the other day, He was engaged about one of the machines when he fell into it, and was fearfully crushed and instantly killed. ileal estate transactions in Winnipeg have been larger this summer than for some years past. It is significant that some amongst the heaviest purchasers are from New York, Si. Paul, Chicago and other American cities.. The report% sent to American papers by grain speculators that the wheat crCe s of Manitoba were injured by froat on Friday night are false. Not the slightest damage was done. Har- vesting will be general this week. A break:occurred in the Sault Ste Marie Canal last week, which detained all vessels passing that way, for several days, The cost of the break to vessel- oweers alone is placed at $80,000 per da, and the country in general atsotne- thing like $300.000. A Couple of cattle, forming part of a train en route from Chicago to Ne w York, having escaped from a oar at one of the watering places while passing through Canada, were shot by orders transmitted from Ottawa, to prevent the possible spread of pneumonra. Although the peach crop of the Delaware peninsula is an utter failure, the California crop is very good, and large quantities of fruit are being daily sent east from the Pacific coast. Cana- dians may still have a chance of in- dulging in this rather expensive luxury. The unrevised statement of inland revenue for July for the Dominion shows the total amount accrued dur- ing July to be $406,194, as against $639,671 in Juiy last year. The de. crease is entirely under the head of spirits, the duty on this commodity having fallen from $361,296 to $129,- 512. It is proposed to celebrate the open. ing of the St. Clair Tunnel by a fitting demonstration. It will be an occasion worthy of a celebration. The two shields will undoubtedly meet about Sept. let, The first engine and train of oars will pass through in about three months, as there is considerable exca- vating and masonry work to be done at the approaches. The Buffalo Times says that Cana- dians pay a tax of seventy-five cents a barrel on all flour imported from the United States, and suggests the removal of the duty of thirty ciente a bushel on Canadian barley, obarged by the United States. if the Canadian Government will take off the flour tax, However, as it is the Canadian millers who want the tax on flour and the millers don't ,grow barley, it is hardly probable that They would favor the proposal. Sir Charles Tupper has advised the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa that the steamer Iowa, from Boston, landed 356 swine at Liverpool, among which were seven affected with swine fever. They were ordered to be slaughtered. The steamship Kansas, from Boston, also landed at Liverpool 357 swine, twenty-three of which were affected with swine fever. They were also ordered to be slaughtered. The strike of employes on the New York Central Railroad may prove a very serious matter. The railroad is tied up from New York to Buffalo, and all trains are stopped. A complete strike has also been ordered on' the Central Hudson system, and it is feared that trouble will extend to other Vanderbilt lines, in which event the loss will be incalculable. The chief grievances the men are said to com- plain of are the discharge of Knights of Labor and,Brotherhood men, coupled with personal dislike of Vice -President -Webb and General Manager Toucey, Minard''s Liniment cures dandruff. The fact that the San Francisco Asiatic steamship lines have felt the competition of the Canadian Pacific Railway so keenty as to see the neces- sity of making Victoria a port of call is one of vast importance to Canada; im. plying as it does that Puget Sound and not San Francisco must be the future starting point for Pacific ocean travel, being nearer eastern points in America and seven hundred and fifty miles or two days nearer Asia than the Golden Gait is, Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian Com- missioner in London, will inquire into the shipping elf Canadian .cattle, Mr, Plimsoll having asserted that the hand- ling of cattle at sea is cruel and very injurious to the beasts. The Commis- sioner will find, if all reports be true, that there is plenty of room for reform. rhe first change necessary is the con- struction of ships expressly for this trade, or modification of those at pres- ent in use, Care in the transport 01 cattle is not onlydemanded on humane grounds but on economic grounds as well, the condition ot the cargoes on arrival materially affecting the price. The two new battle -ships which are being constructed for the United States Navy are said to agree oloseiy with the 10,000 -ton battleships whish France has determined to build for its heaviest line. The attempt to secure eighteen knots has been given over, the deslgn- erscontenting themselves with an even speed of fifteen to sixteen knots. They will carry 60 -ton or thirteen inch guns and have as heavy armor as vessels of 12,000 or even 14,000 tons, While these vessels may be formidable enough, some of the American papers are not satisfied, claiming that it is a mistake to look upon them as a match for vessels of the larger glee in the British Navy, which, are from two to three knots taster. Speed in a warship is certainly a vital quality for offence and defence. The earth, is now passing through what is known as the uAuguat stream at meteors." This stream or belt is revo ving around the sun m a very elliptical orbit extending far beyond the orbit of Neptune, our most distant planet, whose mean distance from the sun is 2,745,998,001 miles, but the orbit of this August meteoric halt is billions of miles beyond that of Neptune, (me mean distance of the earth from the sun is 91,430,000 miles.) The earth plunges through this belt or zone annually in. August. As it requires ten days to pass through the cluster, tea. yelling 03,000 miles per hour, it is thus 'shown to be 16,000,000 miles in thick. ness. Bat the Ra cat star shower dis- play lasted only aboutaix hours and ibis occurred on the 10th ofAugust, when the earth passed through that portion of the cluster that is dense enough to produce a "shower" making it to be about 4,000,000 miles in depth. Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 5.- A remark. able thing happened Here Sunday morning. The sun was shining and the heat was terrible. All at once, from a clear sky, a flash of lightning was seen and a loud clap of thunder heard, though not a drop of rain fell. Mrs. Margaret Bruelling was sitting in the shade of the house and writing a letter, the ink and paper being ou a box. l'he neighbors say that just as the thunder was heard Mrs, Bruelling fell to the ground as if shot, and they ran and picked her up. Not a mark was found on the woman, but she is now lying at the point of death. Her son, 14 years old, was near his mother when she fell, and was shocked him- self. He says something like a ball appeared to descend from the sky and strike his mother. The question of tax exemption, with which the Ontario Legislature has just dealt and in a manner to bring about greater equality in bearing the public burdens, must soon force itself to the front in the province df Quebec. The assessment returns show that the ex- emptions tor the year 1890 amount to nearly twenty million dollars. The list is as follows : Catholic churches, $1,785,000; Protestont churches, $L,- 323,000; Catholic Benevolent institu- tions, $5,657,100; Protestant benevo- lent institutions, $1,760,100 ; Catholic parsonages, $1,057,700; Protestant parsonages, $209,000; corporation prop- erty, $5.]83,410; Government property, $2,769,000; total, $19'745,210. As compared with the assessment of 1889, for every $11 worth of property assess- ed, $2 worth is exempted from taxa- tion, though receivieg the benefit of police, fire, light, scavenging, and other public works. That this is strict justice few will contend, and that the tax -payers will continue to bear the burden uncomplainingly for any con- siderable time longer can hardly be imagined, Equality demands a change. Cardinal Newman died Monday in his ninetieth year. Few men have left a deeper mark upon the Christianity ot the century. He had to face much obloquy after he left the Church of England, but his Apologia, written over thirty years ago, helped to smooth his path. As a controversialist Newman was perhaps the most powerful who has entered the arena on bebalt of Roman Catholicism in modern times. His influence with his co.religionists throughout the United Kingdomwas naturally very erreat, and they rejoiced when the present Pope created him a cardinal eleven years ago. He may be said to have been the leader, even be- yond Cardinal Manning, of the English Catholics, and especially oflthose who have joined that communion since the Tractarian movement which was set on foot hy himself, Burrell, Froude, Rose, Palmer, Pusey and others, To the ma- jority of Protestants outside of England Cardinal Newman was perhaps best known by his "Lead, Kindly Light" and other poems. In England itself he was regarded by men of every school of thought as an es.traordinarily able champion of Christianity no less than of the Roman form of it, his lateryears having been spent largely in combat- ting, without openly appearing to do so, the materialist conception of things The new artesian well at Newmarket gives at present 35,000 gallons of water a day.
