Justice Burbidge of the Exohequer
Court has made his report to the Govern.
ment in the case of the Connolly Bros,
for their claims for extras in connection
with the Kingston Gravelling Dook, for
whioh they were the contractors, Justice
Burbidge was appointed a commissioner
in the case to take evidence and report to
the Government. All the evidence was
in last week, and itis understood that
the report of the Judge is that the Con.
nolly Bros. ehonld lm paid about 845,000.
Messrs. O'Connor & Hogg were the
lawyerefor the Crown and 0. H. Ritchie,

The results of re.connts and official

Hardy on a High Wire.
A YOUNG CANADIAN CROSSES
NIAGARA GORGE.
James E. Hardy, of Toronto, fully
earned for himself the title of professor
of high wire performing across Niagara's
gorge on July 1st. The wire is the same
one as that which Calverley performed,
on, being finch cable, stretched across
the gorge between the Cantilever and rail-
way Suspension bridges. Hardy appear-
ed on the Canadian end of the wire at
8:15 o'clock, dressed in light blue tights
and dark trunks. Pole in hand, he
mounted the wire and scampered off at a
good smart trot. When out about 100
feet he let ab liberty a carrier pigeon,
with the following message :—"Hardy on
the wire ; to W. Clow, Turtle Hall, Col-
borne street, Toronto." The bird's mate
was simultaneously given its liberty from
the Canadian end of the cable. The two
birds were soon together and flew, in a
northward direction. Hardy kept up his
pace hill he was on the ceutreof the cable,
where he knelt down several times,
When he reached the three.quarter dis-
tance he turned completely around on the
wire, standing on one foot, kicking the
other over his head several times and
running backwards. Turning around, he
actually sprinted the 100 feet of his
slender foothold to the American end of
the cable. He then returned to the Can.
ashen side across the railway bridge, and
walked oub about 100 feet on the cable
blindfolded, with a bag over his head.
Then he returned and placed baskets on
his feet, walking out the same distance.
Returning, Im walked backwards with the
baskets still on his feet. Discarding the
baskets he stood on his head with legs
ereot in the air. The performance was
witnessed by some 4,000 people, who
lustily applauded the daring performer.
fHardy is but 19 years of age, of slight
build, weighing about 134 pounds, and for
JI his first attempt over Niagara's gorge hie
performance was wonderful. He is a son
of ,john Hardy, an engine man on the C.
P. R., Toronto, who accompanied him to
Niagara with some friends, Hardy was
born ab Rochester. He repeated the per.
formanne on July 4331, when a drizzling
rain fell during the entire afternoon,
making the performance more dangerous,
Notwithstanding the wet afternoon, sev-
eral thousand spectators witnessed the
performance from the Suspension bridge
and both banks of the river. He stepped
ant on his cable about 4 o'clock, as an-
nounced, and started off at a good pace,
increasing his speed until, when he
reached nearly the centre, he was or, a
good easy run, when he slacked down.
Ae ho did so, one of the sand bags, weigh.
ing 40 pounds, that are used for hilliest
on the cable, broke its fastenings and
went down with rho guy rope with a
splash into the river ; the effect on the
cable caused it to bound almost a foot.
The young man braced himself on the
cable and was seen to steady himself un-
til the cable regained its normal condi.
tiou. He walked across and before reach-
ing the American end performed several
difficult feats on the cable, such as knee
balancing without any essistanoe from
his hands or arms, high kinking and the
split on the wire, when he returned to
the Canadian side and carried a common
wooden chair out eome 100 feat, and,
sitting on the chair, balanced himself by
having the runge of the chair on the
oable, walked out on the cable with his
body encased in a headless barrel, and
performed several other very difficult
feate, which certainly places him in the
lead of high wire performere aoross
Niagara's gorge. hardy returned to To-
ronto on Monday to open an .engagclueut
at the Ielancl rho following week attar
which he moots to go to the Paoitio

What an innocent sounding nam° ,hoe
rheumatism, and yet how terrible a
reality to the thousandswhosuffer with
it, Doctors agree that rheumatism re.
pelts from poison of and depoeits in the
blood, but as to just how they may he
reached and eradioehed, it would seem
that their knowledge fails. The usual
treatment le a long eerie' of medicines
which may give temporary relief, but
do not ours and then the patient usually
gives up, thinking that there is no meds -
eine that will cure him. This is 8 min•
take. Rbeumatiem is not a necessary
evil, and because one is growing old it is
not inoperative that one ebould accept
rheumatism ae a natural ereessory to
advancing years.
There is a remedy for rheumatism
despite the general belief that it cannot
be cured—a remedy that has cured
thousands of the most severe oases. A
noted instance of the tenth of this as-
sertion whioh has just come to the
knowledge of the .editor of the Courier,
is the case of Robert Frannie, Esq.,
formerly, of Trenton, now retired from
business in Rat Portage, Ont., end still
residing there. He has been a victim of
rheumatism for over three years. Last
winter he visited his friends in Trenton
and was then contemplating a visit to
the south in search of relief from his con.
stant foe. He bad to use a staff inwalk-
ing and went at a Blow pace. This
Christmas be was here again on a visit to
hie friends, smart and end and without
the stick or the sorrowful tools of a year
ago. His friende and acquaintances all
a000st him as a new man and oongratn-
late him on his healthy, fresh and active
appearanoe in contrast with a year ago.
He has cheerfully and gratefolly given
the following statement of his efforts
after a cure. "My home is at Rat
Portage, Ont., where for years I was en-
gaged in business and where I still reside.
For three years I have been a great suf-
ferer from rbeumatiem. I tried several
highly recommended remedies to no
purpose, as I continued to grow worse
till it was difficult for me to walk. I was
for thirteen weeks confined to my bed et
home and fo the Wiuuipeg hospital. I
was then induced to try the Mount
Clement Springs. I took six courses
of twenty-one baths each without any
seemingly benefroial result, I read of
several aures in the Courier from Dr.
William's Pink Pills for Pale People, and
friends who had used them with benefit
to themselves urged me to try them. 1
did so and after a short time I felt an
improvement in my oonditioe. I have
taken twelve boxes in all and my im-
provement has bean continuous and
satisfactory, so that I need the cane no
longer and I have increased my weight
from 140 pounds to 175 by the nee of
Pink Pills. I am not entirely free from
rheumatism but I am a new man, 1,000
per oent better than I was a year ago and
X attribute my health entirely to Dr.
Williams' Piuk Pills.”
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at the
Tot of the disease, driving it from the
system and restoring the patient to
health and strength. In cane of par.
alysie, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia,
eciaties, rheumatism, erysipelas, scro-
fulous troubles, et0., these pills are
Superior to all other treatment. They
are also a specific for the troubles which
make the lives of so many women a
burden, and speedily reetore the rich
glow of health to pale and Bellow cheeks.
Men broken down by overwork, worry
or excesses, will find in Pink Pills a
pertain cure. Sold by all dealers or sent
by mail, postpaid, at 50 nuts a box or
six boxes for 32.50, by addressing the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont.,
or Schenectady, N. Y. Beware of imi.
tations and substitutes alleged to be
"just ae good."
