The first case under the Charles's Act of last session was held in the Lib- rary Building Brussels, before Messrs. Ingram and Kittson, members of the OntarioRailway and Municipal Board, on an application by the Brussels, Morris & Grey Telephone Co., for in- terchange of business between their subscribers and the subset ihers of the Wroxeter Independent Telephone Co. After the passing of the Act the Brussels Go. offered to build a trunk line half way and maintain that por- tion, and.give Wroxeter free connec- tion with our subscribers ou condition they would build the other half and give our subscribers free connection. This they refused unless compelled to, do so by the Railway Board, declining any connection on any terms, and they gave that th had a as their reason l i e ras n t y Co. under whichtvitlltheBall C contract they had tied themselves to the Bell that they would not connect with any Competing Go. with the Bell, or in other words they joined the combina- tion that has been working up for the past year by the Bell Co. and some others, to damage the Brussels Cum- pauy and to isolate them. As soon as they refused to make the connection Ibe .Brussels Company at once applied to the Railway Board for redress which they got iu good shape. The case was delayed on account of vacation by the Board.

L. T. CNNVEN la GODERICH ORGAN DAMAGED. FACTORY A For the third time in about twenty years of its history the factory of the Goderich Organ Company has been seriously damaged by fire. The fire broke out in the finishing department early Saturday evening and although not considered dangerous at first, took a stubborn bold on the quantity of com- bustibleyarnishes and fed by the large stock of packing material used in the shipping rooms, soon gained headway which threatened total destruction to the entire plant. Fanned by a strong Northwest gale, the flames spread through the North section, with little hope of saving the South section or woodworking departments. The pre- vious experiences of this company with fire led them, in the last rebuilding, to divide the factory into ports, one section to contain all mechanical appliances and the other to contain the finishing depart- ments and offices, both buildings sepalat- ecl by a ten foot archway, with division- al fire walls between. the whole struc- ture being of solid brick. The outbreak is attributed, as in former instances, to oombustiou among the finishing material, as the night. watchman had been through the build- ing a short time before and found every- thing in order. At. the first alarm the firemen were promptly 00 the scene, and after a half hour's work it was ,p.l•♦•p♦•4.4,4,4,♦•N♦w'♦•P♦II'♦'6'♦'i•♦•Fsdrd•♦•b♦d'♦„a,re.t•♦.t•sr♦'i•.'hMF♦M•F♦'2 Company and the offers of connec- tion, and that they had; at; one time Eagreed • on connection terms ouly that the Bell Company interfered through one of their agents, a Mr. Gibson, and they got frightened and refused. W. S. McKercher, the Secretary of the Wroxeter Go., was put on the stand by the respondent who virtual- ly admitted what was proved by Bir. Scott; that they were anxious for COnnectiOli but could uct do. so on ac- count of the Bell contract. During i two eat in lettere hisexamination t v r e g from the General Manager of the Ball Co. were produced and read to the Board.In the first, while admitting that it was unfortunate of the word- ing of the Charters Act as he thought that they would have to give us the connection asked for but that we were not to get long distance connection, but suggested several things which he thought would have the effect of stop- ping its from pressing the connection. One was that we would have to build a trunk line, not knowing at that time that we had offered to build our part of it endives insisting that they should build the remainder. After the Wrox- eter people got that letter was the time when they agreed to make the connection, but before an agreement was executed the Bell Co. gob their work in again by the interference of Mr. Gibson. A second let- ter was received from the General Manager of the Bell Co. which had a few more suggestions, to try and stop us from getting our rights, but still admitted that if the Board macre an order for connection they would not take advantage to cancel their agree- ment although they had that power. The case was conducted by W. M. Sinclair, Barrister of Brussels, on be - the Independent ompauies connect- ed one wit t the other ; a i spo _ would enforce them. The other mem- ber described the Bell contract as be- The 13th annual County Convention' be - lug an immoral one as it interfered of the Woman's Christian Temperance with the free business of a country P and should not be made by anyone. The Board' remarked that the parties now knew their views on the matter and thought that if they got together an arrangement could be made and they would allow ten days to make such arrangement, but at the expiration of that time they wonld ratifyL'he arrangement so made if sat- isfactory,' or .if not made they would make one ordering the connection on the terms they would name. The two Boards then convened and arranged the most of the terms as to building, the charge for connection being agreed at five cents per conver- sation, but a matter was to be arrang- ed as to Wroxeter: getting the right to use Molesworth .connection that the Brussels Co. now have. They offered this to the Wroxeter people free if they built one-half of the line that the Brussels Go. did on the 1st eon. of Grey which would amount to (as their own construction man said) about $65. This would give them connection with Molesworth and -vice versa, and would not cost Molesworth anything. The President of Molesworth Go. was pres- ent and, expressed the opinion that Molesworth people did not want 0011 - motion with Wroxeter but he was not taken seriously as it is generally known that such is desired ; if not they are the first people known. .who would not take a good privilege for nothing. They now have builtpart of the trunk line with their Brussels connection and it was always under- stood that Molesworth was to get the use of the Wroxeter connection as soon as it was obtained, The Bell people were out in full force to see the matter through, blow- ing as to the •result, and were repre- sented by kir. Binkley and Mr. Gibson who are two of theP arties who have been ;"knocking” the Brussels cem- panyfor the past year,causing them all the' trouble they could. Still the company kept progressing by leaps and bounds until itbus out -stripped all its competitors, in fact anything in telephone development in Ontario, when the time is considered, as they have not yet been 9 months in opera- tion and have 540 'phones on their sys- temau use, The Bell Go. was also represented by a Mr. Ashley, of Ham- ilton, who is trusted with larger con- tracts than the other two and who, while working for the Bell Co., always appears a fair man, yet it would be well to remember that he also works for his master. The North Huron Co. was represent- ed by our genial friend, Peter Scott, of East Wawanosh, who also has had some hard things to say against the Brussels Go. for reasons which he him- self could not understand and which he as a sane man did not believe him- self. He is the party who attempted to hand over the Township of East Wawauosh to the North Huron (lo. and not allow the Blyth Go. to have a look -in at a11. The Blyth Go. was rep- resented by one of their directors in the pe1•sou of Russell Richmond, who thought that little damage would result, the fire being practically confined to a smell section, but as the flames worked among the finishing ells and varnishes they gained fresh vigor, and the indefati• gable work of the brigade and volunteer firemen alone saved the factory. For nearly a mile the flying embers were carried by the gale, and as quickly ns they tell residents hurried to quench them. Many roofs of adjoining logs were were scorched, and several families, moved their furniture to the street. When the fire threatened destruction to adjacent factories and houses a hurried call was sent to the fire brigades of neighboring boTin towns,ns and the prompt response of the Clinton Brigade by special train and the Stratford Brigade on the midnight train, with their hose and equipment- gave valuable assistance to the local firefighters. The company's lumber yards were fortunately located to the West, and all of this material was saved, The loss, however, will amount to *50,o00 or $75,000, to say nothing of the loss of business at a season when their products are in great demand, The factory and contents were insured for about eighty per cent. of their Value, but the loss of office reeerds is irrepar- able. While the manager, Alexander Saunders, is absent with the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, it Is learned from local officials that immediate steps will be taken to rebuild the plant, pos- sibly on a larger seal°, to mope with the increasing denlantt Beirnonte Millinery Parlors• • • •4• ♦ "1SW E were delighted with the success' of.our Opening and we thank the Ladies foro • their attendance. • Neither labor nor expense was spared in plan- ning for our Fall and Winter stock and we feel rn • assured the Ladies of this" community will app're, : 't' date this as they see our fine range of Millinery +•• .q. and Millinery Goods. i .l And best of all our Prices are very moderate. • • Hats . at prices to suit everybody.
