FRIDAY, JULY 7, 18923.
Ix is generally conceded that the
embargo on Canadian cattle will not be
retnoved this season, The buyers have
lost heavily this year,
Tnaa will likely be more of a rush W
the World's Fair from this date as the
railways are reducing the rate. Single
fare for return trip is talked of.
SLowLY, but apparently surely, Hon,
W. E. Gladstone is working hie Home
Rale Bill in the Imperial Parliament,
For a man of his years he is certainly a
marvel in either speech or legislation.
Tau friends of ex -Premier Abbot are
becoming rather anxious regarding his
health. The removal of Sir John Abbott
to his country residence has not proved
as benelioial as wee hoped. A consul-
tation of his medical advisers has been
held bub no details are given to the
public.
TIM marriage of the Duke of York and
Prinoess May of Teak took place on
Thursday of last week. It was a brilliant
function and was attended by a large
gathering of the members of the British
Royal family, continental sovereigns and
their representatives, and many mem.
bars of the nobility. The weather was
beautiful. The ceremony was performed
by the Arohbishop of Canterbury, assist•
ed by other clergy.
A SHORT time ago the society of Prus•
sian agrarians sent out nine hundred and
ninety-four letters of inquiry as to the
agricultural distress to as many rural
distriots in Northern Germany. Num-
erous responses have been received with.
in the last week. From many districts
home the report that only a third of the
usual hay crop will be harvested. There
is a complete dearth of green fodder in
Hesse and Posen. Throughout a wide
area of Central Germany cattle and
horses have been killed for food because
there wee no fodder for them. In other
parts of the country thousands of head. of
cattle have died of starvation. In South
Germany the distress is less keen, and
the South Germany farmers complain of
the Imperial decree against the export of
fodder. The Agrioultnral districts along
the Avstro•TIungarian and Swiss frontier
have an abundance of fodder and the in-
habitants are anxious to continue their
old trade with their buyers across the
border. They are compelled, however,
to sell to the agents of the Imperial
Treasury, who are purchasing all the
ready stock for distribution. In the
districts of the north and federated
Governments have voted a large relief
fund, and the railways have reduced their
freight charges in everything sent to re.
Neve the suffering peasants. But all
fin
not e
such efforts do o suffice to help the
people in districts like, for instance,
Eifel and Rhenish, Prussia, where a pane
of oxen, formerly valued at 700 marks,
now fail to find buyers at 200 marks.
Telegrams are seat by the snore to the
Reichstag asking for the passing of a
comprehensive measure to alleviate the
present suffering.

ously burned in attempting to light the
fire with coal oil. Some live coals were
in the ashes whioh ignited the oil and
the flames reaching the can it exploded,
enveloping her completely in the flames,
Mr. Egger seized her roand the body and
endeavored to prevent the flames from
burning her face and bead. She broke
away from him and ran out into the
yard. John Smith, deputy chief of the
fire brigade, on seeing the state of affairs,
promptly tore the whole outer garments
from the blitzing girl and in this way got
the flames under oontrol.
011 the 5th of June last au obstruction
on the C. P. R. track near Thomasville
was encountered by a special freight go•
ins east at about 8 o'clock p. m. The
train struck and was brought to a stand.
still, when it was discovered that the
cow -catcher was smashed, but fortunately
the engine was a heavy one and remained
on the traok, Investigation showed that
three cordwood sticks had been placed
within the rails, braced against the
beam and wall of the culvert, making a
most dangerous obstruction. The sticks
were removed and the train prooeeded
on its trip, the matter being reported at
the next station. The next east -bound
train, the local express, met the same
obstruotion, which had in the meantime
been replaced. The engine.driver, how-
ever, was on the lookout and managed to
stop his train in time to avoid a wreck.
The engine pulling thio train was of
light build and had it struck the cord-
wood sticks the whole train with its
hundred passengers would have been
wreaked. The railway company pot the
ease into the hands of Detective Ross.
He went up to the ueighborlroodostensib•
ly looking for a job. For three weeks he
worked on the case in his role of laboring
man, but though discovering olues was
not enabled to follow them far enough to
justify an arrest. Then he left the
neighborhood for a few days. Scarcely
had he gone when another attempt was
made at about the same spot to wreck the
fast express. This time a heap of stones
was piled on the track on the evening of
Tuesday of last week. The engineer saw
the obstruction but finding he could not
pull up in time put on full speed and
dashed through this heap. The bold act
probably saved the train from destruo-
tion. Detective Ross was sent for again,
and acting on what he deemed good
grounds arrested Robert Meed, who owns
and works a small pietist) of land near the
track, and not far from the scene of the
attempted train wrecking. On Saturday
the prisoner was brought before Squire
McNaughton, arraigned, pleaded not
guilty, and was remanded until Thursday
of this week.
