Murder In Goderich.
Goderich, Ont., Sept, 25,—Lying in
the cellar of au empty house, neer the
fair groundhere, her throat cut frotn
ear to ear and all her clothing, with
the exception of her shoes aud etock-
Sngs and hat, in another part of the
haeement, the body ef Miss Lizzie An-
aereon of the village of Saltford, was
found by her father this morning,
•The finding of the body was the cul-
mination of a search commenced since
Tuesday night, when the youug wo-
man was lest seen, on the fair
grounds, and was the revelation of an-
other most brutal murder mystery on
which Inspector 'Wm. Greer, of the
Ontario Provincial Police, will start
work toelay.
Miss Anderson was only 18 years of
age, and lived with her father in the
old Lashana Hotel at Sanford. Her
father, Williana Anderson, is a labor-
er. In the same old building where
lived father and daugliter there board-
ed. a number of Italians, some of
whom are employed on the Ontario
West Shore Railway as construction
and track men. On Titetelay last the
young evoinan expressed a desire to go
to the northwest. exhibition, vehicle
was being held in Goderich, and left
her village home quite eally in the
morning. She was seen on the fair
grounds several times during the day,
but failed to return home that even -
ng. When she did not appear next
morning, her father notified Chief
Postlethevaite and Sergt, Moore, of
the Ooderich Police Force, and asked
them to locate his daughter. For
four days the police searched, but
found no trace of the girl, other than
that she bad been seen on the fair
grounds talking to an Italian at seven
o'clock on Tuesday evening. Her dis-
appearance was a eomplete mystery.
As her father was working every
day, it was impossible for him to
assist the police in the search for his
daughter, but this morning he started
out, accompanied by several neigh-
bors, and came to Goderich for the
purpose of searching all the vacant
buildings in the vicinity of the fair
grounds, thinking that probably his
es ;daughter bad been taken ill, or had
been lured there. His conjecture
proved correct. The search party had
investigated only one or two houses,
when they entered the one where the
gruesome discovery was to be made.
They went through the house, and
entering the cellar, which was in a
neglected condition, Mr. Anderson
and john Doak, one of his neighbors,
stumbled across the nude body of the
young woman. It was evident that
the crime was a most brutal one.
Blood-stained the floor, and from the
coedition of the body it wa,s evident
that it had been there at least three
days, Her throat had been cut with a
razer. Her clothing was not piled
neatly on the floor, but was strewn
about, as though torn from her
body.

New Amesthetic Used.
M. Parker, from neer Teeswater,
passed through a oritical operation in
Wingharn hospital on SattAday last.
We understand that this is the first
operation in Wingham in which the
new antesthetle, stovaine, was used,
Stovaine, unlike ehloroform, does not
render the patient unconscious, but
deadens sensation in the part into
which it is injected. It can't he used,
however, in the upper part of body,
on account of its et -feet upon the
respiratory organs. Dr. Gillies of
Teeswater and Dr, Jones of Toronto,
assisted by Dr. Agnew, performed the
oper ation.
A Bereaved Family.
Death with its aceompanying sor-
row has, during the past week, brok-
en into the family of Mr. and Mrs.
Peter Deans, taking from the family
cirele their- son, Peter MacDonald.
The young man was born in this
town, and hence was well known, and
had a large circle of friends. For
some time past be had been living in
Chatham, where, about seven weeks
ago, he contracted fever. This dis-
ease, so trying on the constitution,
was followed by pustmonite, which
resulted in his deatif on Sunday last.
His parents were with hina many
times during his illness, and his moth-
er was with him when death relieved
him of his sufferings. Deceased was
an iodustx•ious young men, respected
by the community. The remains
were brought to Wingham on Tues-
day for interment, and the funeral
took place on Wednesday afternoon
to Wingharn cemetery. The parents
and brother and sister have sincere
sympathy in their bereavement. .

Missionary Convention.
The A,uxiliaries of the Wingham
District of the Woman's Missionary
Society, met in convention in the
Methodist Church, on Thursday, Sept.
22nd. The attendance was large, and
the interest well sustained at all of
the three sessions held. Miss McGuf-
fin, Associate Editor of the "Outlook,"
was the principal speaker. Her
word4 of advice and encouragement
we e very much appreoiated by the
de legates. Miss Louise Jones of Kin-
nereline also spoke at the afternoon
meeting, and Mrs. (Rev.) Baker of
Teeswater, Miss Marguerite Rotnuth
and Church choir added much to the
interest of the meetings by their
musical selections. Miss 'Wheaton
contributed an excellent recitation.
The delegates and a few invited guests
from other denominations, were
entertained to tea by the Methodist
Church in the lecture -room. A fea-
ture of the evening was the "after
dinner" speeches by the ladies. No
"mere man" was invited to speak
and the ladies shone without a rival.
M t the afternoon meeting Mrs. Sper-
ling was re-elected District Organizer,
with Mrs. Joynt of Lucknow as assis-
tant. Mrs. Morton is Secretary.
Our Mistake.
When we wrote an item in a recent
issue regarding the possible renaoval
of Mr. Ault, we inadvertently used
the word "inartager." We had known
of course that Mr, Fred, Johnston

is so modest that he very Beide:int re-
fers to himself as manager, Mr.
Shaw, the managing -director, corrects
our error in the following, which we
cheerfully insert

September Wedding.
The marriage of Leah M. Pender to
Laban S. Jenks pf Buffalo, took plane
at the home of the bride's parents,
Mr, and Mrs. Livivrence Vender,
Catherine St., on Saturday, Sept 24th,
at high noon. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. D. Perrie, in the pre-
sence of the very immediate relatives
and friends, and Miss Lizzie Gilchrist
played the wedding march. The bride
was becomingly attired in a dainty
dress of white India mulle over silk,
and carried a shower bouquet of white
roses, while her travelling costume
was in shades of browri and castor.
The house was prettily decorated, the
eolor scheme throughout being green
and white, the decorations used being
white peters, roper: of smilax and
ribbon, and even in the breakfast
menu, these colors prevailed. The
bride is a graduate of Lexington
Heights hospital and has been follows
hag her profession in Buffalo, wbile
the groom has a, lucrative law practice
in the same city. The happy couple
left via the C. P, R. for. Toronto,
Montreal, Quebec and other eastern
points, followed by the best wishes of
their many friends, and accompanied
by showers of asters, confetti and
rice. Friends were present from Hali-
fax, Buffalo, Portland, Detroit and
London.
A Fatal Accident.
On Friday last, a very sad accident
occurred that brought bereavement
and sorrow to several homes in Cul-
ross township. On the day referred
to, Mr. Joseph Moir, one of the pion-
eers of the township, left his home on
the first conceesion to drive to Wing -
ham, little thinkiiig that death was so
near at hand. As he was aboub one-
quarter of a mile from McCormick's
corner, he met Mr. Lepard with his
auto. When Mr. Lenard saw hint he
stopped the machine about 110 yards
back, and while the horse was turning
around it reared and broke the har-
ness. It is thought the buggy ran
against the horse, starting it to run,
and on turning the corner Mr. Moir
was thrown out and seriously injured.
Mr. Lepard hastened to scene of the
accident, and with the assistance of
Mr. Macdonatd lifted the injured man
into the auto. and broughb him to
Wiugham hospital. He was found to
have severe injuries on his head ; he
oleo had several ribs broken, which
were penetrating his lungs. Medical
aid could do but little for him, and
he expired soon after reaching the
hospital. Coebner Dr. Kennedy em-
panelled a jury, and after viewing the
body, they adjourned matil the 29th
evening. Mr. Moir was one of the
early settlers of Culross, having mov-
ed in there in 1857, settling on lot 30,

and confidence of the community, and

What In:lines Say.
The Indians and okl-timers of the
DTerthwest eay that the coming
winter will be one of the coldest on
record. They point to the feet that
the for -bearing animals are growing
thicker and longer coats than eustom-
area that inuslerats are building their
houses larger and higher than is their
custom in nand winters, that the bears
are starting to make their dens in the
most proteeted places they Can flush

are also preparing for a siege. They
say that these signs never fail,

Work At The Dam.
Eleven :nen, in charge of Mr, John
Glenn, are busy repairing the lower
dam. The work was an absolute
necessity, as an inspection of the tire-
bers will show. For this season, the
work is confined to the east side, and
Ib is easy to see the loss` of water and
therefore of power that has been
going on. A, coffer dam was first
builte.and then the old stuff taken out
from the front and out of the piers.
The foundation is now being laid in
a heavy wall of cement and stone. It
is getting late in the season, bub the
worst part of the work is done, and
progress now will be easier and quick-
er, Mr. Glenn is inspector of the
work, and may be trusted to see that
good work is done.
Teeswater Liquor Cases.
In last week's issue we reported the
visit of Inspector Ayearst, two de-
tectives and Prove Constable Phippen,
to Teeswater, and the seizure of liquor
found there. Constable Phippen Ieid
the information, and 'the charges were
heard on Tuesday before Magistrates
McLean and Brill. The cases excited
considerable interest, and tbe court
room was crowded to the doors. Gus-
tavus Teide and Frank Heisz of For-
mosa, brewers, were chaeged with
delivering liquor in unlicensed ter-
ritory. Their case was aeljourned for
one week. Richard Harrison of the
Vendome hotel pleaded guilty to the
charge of selling liquor, and was fined
$100 and costs. Geo. Kreutzweiser
faced a similar charge and fought the
case, but was also mulcted in $100 and
costs. Others came dangerously near
being brought before the Magistrates,
but escaped with a caution. Con-
stable Phippen received an order from
the Court to destroy the liquor seized,.
and as we are not aware of his having
any scruples against, such an act of
destruction, it is probable that ere
this, the booze has gone where it will
do no harm. The temperance people
of Teeswater are delighted with the
way Constable Phippen handled the
ease.
