ground that by it clerical error, the

present at thenourt but a letter was
produced from him stating that the
above error had been made. The
court adjourned untilMarch 15th after
which the council sat, for general busi-
ness. The tender of .T. McNevin for
the timber required. for repairing cul-
verts, was accepted, • for ceda,r at $13
per thousand and the elm at $11 per
thousand. A petition was presented

straightened and otherwise unproved,
from the point where it enters the
Bayfield river up as far as lot 3, con. 0,

As the petition contained it majority
of those interested, who would be be-

deemed it expedient to giant the prayer
of said petition, and as soon as
practicable in the spriug, an engineer
will be procured to examine and re-
port upon the condition of the said
stream and land adjoining. A petition
was also presented from George Mc-
Gonnigle and five other ratepayers in
school section number 2, asking to
have their lands separated from school
section number 2, and added to school

sideration at next meeting which will

RATE CUTTING DENIED.
Grand Trunk Says the Report of Under-
hand Work on Its Part.Is Incorrect.
Montreal, Feb. 23.—The railways are
a having so much trouble with the snow
. that little time is given to the rate Iv=
There are, however, no new developments.
d "I see by a despatch this morning,"
said Mr. Reeve, traffic manager of the
Grand Trunk, "that an, alleged C.P.R.
official states that the Grand Trunk (for
s the Grand Trunk is the only rival of the
0.2. 11. at the points mentioned) were
cutting tho Montreal -Toronto rate to $9
_ in an underhand way. There is some
_ mistake about this, as the charge is not
basea on truth. Therefore, 'cannot think
that it came direct from any C.P.R.
°fade'.
:1 "The facts are," continued Mr. Reeve,
„ "our rate has been $10.40 for along time.
It is our rate to day, and. we have not
sold a ticket at less It is true there Was
S combination of rates to Coteau Junction
and from there on, which. had. the effect
,. of making a reduction. But there was
" never a ticket sold at such a combination
e and no one knows this better thau the
• passenger traffic manager of the Canadian
, Pacific Railway. I can say that 'we have
• not knowingly out a passenger rate for
' the last two years at least, unless by our
quoting the same fares as our friendly
e neighbors are doing we can be termed as
cutting rates."

Toronto, Feb. 23.—A telegram was
received in Toronto at 7 o'clock Tuesday
evening from Mr. George R. Reeve, gen-
eral traffic manager of the Grand. Trunk,
instructing those in the passenger depart-
ment 'sere to "maintain rates until fur-
ther advised." It is not loaown to ths
Grand Trunk officials here what action is
contemplated by the authorities at Mont-
real, and pending further orders tickets
over the Grand Trunk will be sold at the
old figures and no ant made at competing
points to meet the rates in force over the
e Canadian Pacific. Several of the points to
which the Canadian Pacific have cut the
rates are. reached only by the Grand
Trunk, but under an agreement between
the two companies, the Grand Trunk
have to accept such traffic when handed
to them at the nearest junction point
and are allowed the local faro over their
Iline. now the Cut was *emaciated.
The cut rates so extensively advertised
by the Canadian Pacific yesterday drew
a great many custcauers to the passenger
agent's office, caner King and Yonmo
streets. From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. the stalf
of clerks there had all they could attend
to. .A groat part of the thne the office was

The nomination for candidates to
contest the South Riding of Huron i
the election of it xnember for the Legi
lative Assembly, took place in Hensa
on Tuesday. The attendance was ver
large, some of the older resident
claiming the crowd the largest eve
assembled in Hensall. The hall, whie
is a spactous one, was jammed, and
fully as many stood outside, unable
to gain admittapce. The returnixij
officer, P. Kibler, of Zurich, opened
the nomination at 12 o'cloele, sharp,
and closed it at one, during which
time two candidates were nominated,
Henry Either, of Crediton, by John
lorrance, seconded. by Robt. Middle-
ton, in the Ckniservative interest ; M.
Y. McLean, of Seaforth, by A. Bishop,
secondecl. by J. O. Kalbfleisch, in the
Liberal interest. At the close of the
nomination Mr. Kibler was voted to
the chair, and after a few introductory
remarks called upon the rnovers and
seconders of the candidates, the candi-
dates themselves and Messrs. R. H.
Collins, Exeter, and Mr. Bartlett,
London, the former in Mr. 1VIcLean's
interest, the latter, for Mr. Eilber,
The best of order prevailed through-
out. The speeches of the movers and
seconders of the respective candidates
were short. Mr. McLean and Mr.
Either spoke three quarters of an hour
each, while Messrs. Collins and Bart-
lett were each given half an hour.
The same old stories were repeated,
with the exception of a few personal
charges made by Mr. IvIcLean against
Mr. Eilber, in his capacity as manager
of the Hay Fire Insurance Co. These
were so effectively refuted by Mr.
Eilber that Mr. McLean had to retract
his statements, much to the amuse-
ment of the audience. Mn. Collins
made an eloquent speech, in support
of Mr. McLean, while Mr. Bartlett, of
London, arraigned the Government in
masterly style, for their mismanage-
ment of funds, the creation of unneces-
sary officials to afford berths for party
friends ; the establishment of useless
and costly institutions to satisfy dis-
gruntled politicians; the centralization
of offices in Toronto to the detriment
of the municipalities a,ndvarions other
gross irregularities. Mr. Eilber made
the speech of the day, and while
the time given was toolimited for him
to do justice to the public questions
under discussion he fairly electrified
the audience, surprising his friends
with his eloquence and argumentative
ability, and staggering his enemies
with the powerful bombs thrown into
their camp. He spoke rapidly and
‘011, and in it manner that would
indicate his thorough knowledge of
the questions under discussion and his
ready grasp otandreplyto,any charge
made by his opponents. He made no
statement, that he could not prove by
the government's own reports ; in fact
he made such an 'impression tbat his
political opponents in the audience
were forced to exclaim : "He's it
clever fellow" • "His speech was well
delivered"; "lie fairly surprised me."
These and other exclamations were
heard. on all hands, and so pleased
were hiaeGerman fellow -men with the
eloquence and aptness of their brother
country -man that they weet home
determined to elect him it represent-
atiye to the Ontario Legislature by a
large niajority. His speech so rattled
his opponent that upon rising to re-
ply Mr. McLean saw fit to remark:
"That a fool can say more in half an
hour than it sane man can answer in
three days," or some words to that
effect. Mr. Eilber's able defence
and successful refutation of the petty
personal charges made by Mr.21cLean,
called forth round after round of ap-
plause, and placed very much greater
en thusiasmen the breasts of his friends,
and they were legion at the meebing.
The meeting broke up with cheers for
IVIcLean, Whitney -and Hardy,
and it vote of thanks to the chairman,
Mr. F. Kibler, for the impartial nsa,n-
ner in which he conducted the pro-
gram.

Mr. William Davies, of the William
Davies Company, had an interview
with Mr. Hodson, inspector of Farmer's
Institutes last week regarding the ex-
port of hogs to the oia country. Mr.
Davies told Mr. Hodson that Canadian
bogs were put in the second and third
classes on the English market. The
• Danish stock alive, he said, conamand
a better price than tale Canadian pork,
even wben the latter is cured. This,
he said, could be accounted for by the
fact that farmers do not know how to
raise pigs, and should be taught. In-
spector Hodson said that he would
bring the matter before the Farmers'
Institutes, and that some good might
result. If Canadians raised hogs as
they could with some instruction, tbeir
produce would be in cleniand on the
English market at the best prices. .
