Brussels to St. Thomas and had a t

noticed that a couple of detectives w

In 1887 Laird went from Toronto
Toledo, Ohio. He fell in with nue
Martin, of Sault Ste Marie, Ont., wl
was then on his wedding tour with
daughter of Colonel Ketohinsou, of Bell
villa. Laird had formed McMartin
acquaintance at the "Soo." Th
journeyed together to Toledo. T

was needless for Laird to ask on wha
ohargo he was arrested. The only rept
he could extract from the pop was "you
find that out soon enough." He was de
Mined four days and four nights and n
proceedings were taken to have him dul
tried in a court of law, until Mrs. Me
Martin heard of his fate and secuue& hi
release. He was informed that the ob
jest the police had in arresting him wa
to see if McMartin, hearing of his inoar
ceration, would not come to secure hi
liberty. It was a shrewd ruse, but Lair
objected strongly to being made the vie
rim of their experiments, nevertheless 11
had no recompense. Since then Lair
has had letters from Mrs. McMartin an
ler aged father thanking flim for t11
kindness he showed her after her rascally
husband had cut short their happy honey

Martin, who is now in Sydney, Australia
He is deeply repentant for the vile prime
e perpetrated upon a lovfag, confiding
wife and says he will never return to
Canada until he can make fivanaial resti-
utiou to her of the money he stole and
make partial amends to her for the cruel
wrong which blasted her life,
Laird appears next in the famous "radi-
oed row," It is needless to recount the
cidente of that Hurricane trip to Brus-
els and the sanguinary contest which
ook place in the am between the train
ands and passengers on the 10611 of
1'ebruary,1892. Acquitted' at the pre.
'nary trial in Brussels, Laird was
erwards indicted before a grand jury
Goderioh on eleven chargee. The
ter was practically settled out of
rt and Laird was bound over to keep
peace with all Her Majesty's sub•
o, 00 protection whatever being given
Hens. Laird still. contends that he

the evidence adduced showed that
was the ease.

those new at the business, by direction

A half day's sojourn in St. Paul gave
us an opportunity of viewing a goodly
portion of the plata. Trade appeared to
he on the quiet side and not a few empty
business places and tenantless houses
gave evidence that the U. S. as well as
Canada has its periods off depression
as well as boom. Minneapolis, 9 miles
distant, and also looted on the Mississ-
ippi, militates considerably against the
development and extension of St. Paul,
as the former appears to be the more en.
terprising and is certainly a genuine,
hustling city. An electric railway is
built between the twin cities and dose a
large and lucrative business. Very
nreditable daily newspapers are issued in
either city that compare favorably with
those published in Chicago.

shouts at 6:30 o'clock Friday evening and
we are soon cosily seated in e, Pullman' on

rapes were held on the Driving Perk in
this town at which it big bill of fare for
the sporting element was presented,
There was a fairly good attendance on
Monday considering that so many Ober
towns were holding Leber Day oolebra•
tions. TING 245 and 2,28 trotting races
and the half mile run were own the pro.
gram and while there were a good many
entries in each event there was too mush
of a sameness to stir up lunch enthusiasm,
Little harry, of llaysville, took the three
successive heats in the ifret race with
Wellington Chief, of S6, Thomas, and
George 13.33., of Palmerston, 2nd and 3rd
respectively. Neither Oyolone nor Black
Jpe started.
Saranac, the well known Wingham
stallion, won the 2.28 rase without much
trouble in three straights, R. Roach
held the ribbons, Alioe G., Brown Sam
and Molly Barnes, from St, Tbohnae,
Woodstock and Watford, respectively,
took the other purses.
Surrah, owned by S, 13, Harriet of
Wroxeter, trotted an exhibition half mile
in 1.12. He is a good horse and will
make his mark yet on the turf.
Old Colonist, from Drayton, took the
half mile run although Meg Dinmont, of
Eastwood, won the 1st heat, Some peo-
ple thought Colonist was playing into the
pool box in this trial. There were eight
horses in the rape.
The judges were Mesare. Henderson
and Lapslle, of Seaforth, and Roe, of
Wingham. Listowel Band wag in at-
tendacoe and played a number of choice
selections during the day in first-class
style. Owing to the long continued
drought the track had to be watered to
keep down the dost.
Tuesday forenoon rain set in and al-
though it did not interfere with the con-
dition of the track, rather improving it,
many persons who purposed attending
remained athome, so that the attend-
ance was very meagre. The sport was
superior to the previous day and mixed
heats were the rule rather than the ex.
eeption,,
Firsb same the 2,33 event, in which
seven horses were entered. It looked like
a walk over for Annie Rooney, who oonld
have shut out the field in the let heat
but after she had two beats to her credit
Lucky Sweepstakes crowded her out and
captured 1st money,
The 2 -year-old colt race was a hard
fought battle between the three starters.
P. Scott's 61. A. 0. won the first beat
bot was tied by Whitley's Sidneer in the
2nd. Lepslie's Trantine beat both in the
8rd and 4111 trials and secured latmoney.
It was late in the day when the open
Moe was called. Four goad horses re-
sponded to the call and one of the
prettiest races ever seen on the traok was
witnessed between Mies Garfield, of
Wingham, and Capt. Hunter, al Brant-
ford, the first being a dead heat. The
mare lacked the level beadednese of
Hunter, who took the 2nd heat, Dark-
neas intervened at this stage and the rape
was to have been finished on Wednesday
morning bat the heavy rain of Tuesday
night precluded this and the purses were
divided according to the standing of the
uncompleted race, The best time made
was 2.26,E and this is now the track
record.
Messrs, Henderson, Livingston and R.
Wilson officiated as judges.
The financial results of the Fall meet-
ing are not of a very satisfactory chemo.

oupied the forenoon.

The meeting was quite informal, yet
the admirable toot displayed by the
chairman, Dr. Willoughby, enured a
meeting of great interest and profit.
The subject woe, "How to secure and
promote a general revival of reiigion
throughout the District." Ministers and
laymen were invited to offer suggestions
bearing on this most important subject.
There was a general response and the
utmost freedom prevailed as the follow•
ing subjects were disonssed : "Pastoral
visitation," "Directness of appeal to the
unconverted," "OordieI sympathy be-
tween the Pulpit and Pew," "The prayer -
meeting," "The condition under which
evangelists may be employed," "Prayer
for Divine Guidance," "Dependence up.
on the Holy Ghost for success in the
work of the church in all its depart-
ments." As these discussions were ie.
terepersed by singing and prayer a most
