EatIRSDAY, AUGUST 10th, 1899 If the friends of the Hon. J. T. Grar- ow could have seen him sittieg in the election court at Toronto recently, blandly outfaciug ireeputable evidence and tenaciously clinging to an ill-got- ten seat, their estimation of him would have fallen exactly one hundred per eent,—Toronto Stan x Before his deznise, Sir John Mac- donald announced that his policy ;would be to discontinue as large'. y as passible the wanting of further r1 - ay subsidies,believing that the eerier - try has done its duty well in that direc- tion, The Laurier Government's bill or subsidies of $6,500,000 must bave been designed to perfect the Liberal repntation for extravagance and re- versal of policy. No Conservative Government ever proposed so great a :series or subsidies, just as no Conser- vative Government ever proposed so vast a general expenditure as this one pledged to the eyes to cheese -paring economy, has done. The Globe and West Huron, The Globe has become serious over West Huron and has this disturbing confession to make- , "Although the enquiry is not yet completed, enough has been elicited to cast very gravedoubts ovor the naa,nner in which the election was con- ducted. Bogus ballots seem to have been circulating. One deputy swore that his initials on a ballot paperewere forged. On Wednesday Henry Arm- strong, poll clerk at No. 3, Goderich, swore there were 118 voters at that polling booth. The statement of the poll, signed by Mr. Farr, gave 40 bal- lots for Mr. McLean and 72 for -Mr. Holmes. There were one rejected, ten blank ancl two destroyed. ballots; these destroyed ballots were destroyed before the voting because they were defective • they were never given to electors ailall. That make 123 ballots that came out of the box, but only 118 -went in, leavingfiye ballots in the box, which ought not to have been there. He said that Farr told him at dinner time that there were thirteen good ballots in the box for Holmes. The witness said he was a Conservative. and it is possible that his evidence is biased ; but if -Farr wants to do right, he ought to be here. "'What the public will expect, from the committee is a clear judgement on the broad question. Was the election a fair election, or was it carried by fraud'? If the latter, there ought to beno hesitation about resigning tbe constituency, and thus effecting the same result as if the sitting member had been unseated by the courts." The Globe also administers a virtual rebuke to the Liberal members and Mitisters on the Parliamentary com- T.1;14 EXETER Ti.WES mise ktoogo,rth Oroniarty has again returned, to Clinton for medical treatment. Mr, R. Babb jeweller. of 131yth, left on Monday morning for Teeswater where he will commence besinese for himself.

He delivered thirty head that averaged 1,444 pounds, William Dick- son, of the same township,has sold 104 bead of cattle, and delivered 52 that averaged 1,409 pounds. The other morning Mrs. Tyndall, mother of Lorne and Arthur Tyndall, of the 3rd concession of Hullett, met with an accident winch it was feared for a time would result fatally, owrng to Mrs. Tyndalrs age. She bad gone into the barn to hitch the horse,when she fell through an opening in the floor and, broke several ribs. Mr. Francis Klein, an Old and re- pected resident of Huron county, died in Seaforth on July 20, after a three weeks illness. Mr. Klein reached the age of 77 years and five months. He wae a Dative of Alsace, Germany, and came to Canada about 35 years ago, settling in the townWilmot. ehip of Wmot. Waterloo county, where he remained for about two years, when he removed to McKillop. taking up a farm on the 9th concession. James Ream, of Clinton, feeling the need of a luncheon went down cellar to get the wherewith to satisfy the craving of the inner man, and see- ingas he supposed in the dim light, apiece of bread nicely buttered, he picked. it up and began to eat, but one bite was sufficient:% Wee -steel of-arielaic and ho bethought himself that- the bread he bad partaken of had been prepared for rodents. A doctor was promptly sumnioned and he is now around as usual One of the apple dealers who, ITU been surveying the orchards of the Apple Belt says that part of Goderich. township from Stanley to the Out Line will yield over a 1,000 barrels of apples to the concession mile and that along. the Lake Road and in the Maitland Block the yield will be even better. Up in Colborne the harvest will also be a good one. The most fruit- ful orchard up there is that of Mr. Richard Jewell who will haye at least 1000 barrels off eighteen acres of trees, SeMorth was visited by a severe bail storm on Wednesday last. Hail -stones two inches in diameter came down in bucketfuls and quite late in the mcrn- ing heaps of it could be found lying in shaded corners. It vvrought havoc with the windows. In the 1VIethodist church. the stained glass windows in the front were almost completely de- molished, while the windows in the south side of the Catholic church had hardly a whole pane left. The Queen's hotel also suffered severely, while meny private houses had glass brok- en. Master Arthar Da,vis, of Mitchell, had a chicken come out of the shell re- cently with two beaks and three eyes. A fine horse belonging to Mr. Thos. Wood, Blanshard, dropped dead on Saturday in the Ontario House stables at St. Marys. Buffalo bugs are in almost, every home in Mitchell and in many cases have done serious damage to carpet and blasekets. At Terance Bank, Nissouri Monday very old and much esteemed esident of Middlesex passed to his eward. Thomas Scratcherd died at be great age of 97 years. He all but lived to see three centuries. The whole of the June make of cheese at the Sebringville factory has been sold and shipped, the patrons realizing 60.0 cents per TOO pounds of of milk which 'is more than 10 cents per cwt. better than last season. The first half of July make has been sold at 93-8c per lb., being 13-4c. per lb higher than last year. Willis Chipman, waterworks en- gineer, was in Sb. Marys this week, and had a number of samples of water taken from rock springs and wells and some creeks just outside the corpora- tion and will have the same labelled and sent to Dr. Bryce, Toroato, to have the seyeral waters tested as to their purity. A. great nattny are op- posed to using river water. The original estimates for the cur rent finaecial year brought down by Mr. Fielding amounted to $46,286,550. The supplementary estimates brought the total amount asked for by the Gov- ernment up to $51,783,805, This was an eenormous amount to spend, but the end was not to be yet, and last Fri- day morning honest fcitizens were startled to learn that the night before tbe Government had brought down a resolution donating $0,540,295 to a crowd of railway promoters and bridge builders. The appropriations asked for were thus increased to $58- 234,190, This does not include the $1,- 400,000 appropriated by a special act for the purchase of the Drummond County Railroad, nor does it include our share of tbe cost of constructing the Pacific ceble, which at the lowest estimate, will be $2,860,000,, and is like- ly to be far greater. If we add these sums to the general appropriations We shall find that Clic totel atneunt the Government proposes to spend is $62,084,100. This is $12 for every le- clividuel in Canada eta. $60 for each family mitteee who have been slyly thwarting a the investigation, -when it. says "In r order to be of value the Parliamentary r t inquiry ought to be broad, full and • thorough, disregarding technicalities, and. aiming, at a knowledge of the act- ual facts and -the forming of a sound judgement on the case.

A. larae e assortment of scoundrels is brought under review by the Globe's comment. There are not only Deputy. Farr (who voted only 22 times for lIolines), and Linklater, who have fled tbe country and are in hiding in tbe United States, with pockets well lined from the Liberal treasury, but there ave the men who put them up to the work ancl planned the crookedness of which we have merely got a, peep. There are also the members 'of tbe Government in whose ihterest the crimes were committed and who can- not be ho.a guiltless. We have learn- ed to be suspicious of the Globes can - doer, and ma bound to believe that -when it becomes virtuous and advises the resignation of the member and appeals solemnly to Parr to ,coine out of hiding, it is all done for fear of worse revelations should the ,inves ties% tion go on.

His birthplace was only six miles from the present. city a London. in the year 1806, otie year prior to Confederation, Mr. McFadden received the appointment which he held up to a week ago and whicb. necessitated his removal to Stratford. Curiously en- ough, Mr. McFadden was appointed to the position by the late Sir John Mac- donald, who was at that time Premier of Upper Canada, Just two weeks ago he was succeeded in office by Ma- jor W.

John Guiger has disposed of his pro- perty, con. 17, Mina, known as the Golightly property, consisting of 12 acres, with a comfortable brick dwell ing and good barns Thereisalso a fine orchard of fruit. The property was sold to Wm. Wickie, of Mitchell, for $1,000. Mr. Wickie will take pos- session about Dec. 1. He has secured a very fine property at a reasonable price. Mr. Guiger has not decided where he will go yet. A cow belonging to Mr. Baynes, of Granton, had a rather novel experie ence early the other morning. While standing on the G. T. R. Crossing, an engine picked her up, slammed her through a board fence and about fifteen or twenty feet beyond; . Baynes cleared away the debris of the broken fence, in the meantime sizing up the situation preparatory to hav- ing her drawn • out with a teamof horses when the animal sprang to her feet, and started for home, apparently as if nothing had happened. Just a year ago Mr. Baynes had a .co* take the same trip. • Kr. John Scott, of Listowel has lost seven head of cattle within the past week, the supposed causenf death be- ing anthrax.

Mr. Scott had three more cattle that showed symtoms of anthrax posoning, but after doctor- ing them with salts they have got bet- ter. Mr. Cornelius Westtnan passed away at his home in Granton on Sun- day morning, aged 38 years and 10 mouths. The deceased gentleman. was the eldest son of Mr. Thomas Westman and was born in Morning - ton near tMilverton, where he lived, until be was 24 years of ege, The late Mr. Westman then moved to St Marys. and entered Mr. Gilpin's hardware store where he remained for several years.

F. the Royal Templars ofTempera,nce, and L. O. L., No. 592 of Blanshard. Throughout his life he was closely coo- nected with the Mothodist church and in politics was a staunch Conservative. The late Mr. Wes tman was a promising young business mau and his demise has created the liveliest sympathy of 'a' big circle of friends: ' The French-Oanadian press are compariug the conduct of Mr. Holmes, M. P. for Huron, with that of Ron. Rodolph Laflamme, who was Meister of Juseice under Hon. Alex. Mackenzie. At the general elections of 1878, one of the bitterest contests of the campaign was that of Jacques Cartier, between Hon. Mr. Laflamme and tbe present Hon. Judge Girouard. It has been generally conceded that, as Lachine was strongly in favor of a protection policy, Girouard had a good chance of defeating the Minister of Justice, and there was not a little surprise leant - fest when it became known that Hon. Mr. Laflamme had a small majority. It, soon became known, however, that the ballot box at St, Anne parish bad been tampered with, and the two men are still living who stuffed this particle - lar ballot box, without which tbe Con- servative candidate had agocel major- ity. Th d case was immediately brought before a judge for a recount and the moment Hon.. Rodolph La- flamme saw that fraud had been com- mitted, he would not allow his Jaw- yere to preceed any further, but im- mediately threw up the seat, and Girouard was declared elected.

At the cotolusiou of the sitting the crowd, numbering about 9,000 persons, composed purely of sightseers, was allozee. ddto pass freely before the Lyme until a, few moments before Dreyfus em The lie:lame was Blown. Then the chief'of gendarmes made a sign to his aesietant, who blew a whistle. Before the shrill sound had finished the clatter of hoofs was heard, and a monmet later a strong dettiohment of mounted gendarmes, followed by gendarmes on foot, galloped in the avenue from a side street, wheeled round, and divided into two detachments, stretching across the avenue, and Wooed a spese of 800 yards in front of the Lyoee. Ihe horsemen rode on the sidewalks, clearing everybody out. Even the newspapermen were driven away. Then a detachment of infantry, headed by a bugler, dashed up at the double and formed across tho avenue, from the door of the Lyoee to the postern gate of the Manutention. Everybody Driven Away. The soldiers were stationed shoulder -to - shoulder, facing outwards and towards the spectators, .whe were crushed behind the mounted gendarmes, a hundred yards off. SOOD afterwards somebody shouted, "liere he is!" and the spectators, many of:whoin had 003130 from neighboring towns expressly to see Dreyfus, craned their necks and stood on tiptoe, hoping to catch a view of the famous prisoner as, preceded and followed by gendarmes, . and with a captain of gendarmes beside him, he passed through .the lane of sold- iers, with a quick Military step, eyes front; and with. soldierly bearing, but with the slight, jerky movement of the left arm and shoulder of the continental officer'accestonted always to resting his hand on the hilt of his sword.
