FBIDAY, SEPT. 16, 1887.
Nine Monday at 1 o'clock the
members of the Brumes Railway
Committee ere requested to ineet
delegations from Blyth, Listowel
and other municipalities at the
Brussels Town Elall to formulate
plane in connection with the ex.
tension of the 0. P. R. from Guelph
to Goderich, D is hoped all inter.
acted will be in attendance prompt-
ly on time BO as to come to some
conclusion on the matter.
OWING to t110 almost unprecedent-
ed early harvest and the consequent
early threshing grain will, in all
probability, be marketed earlier
than usual and as 0 natural result
the Fall trade will commence soon.
Our Brussels merobante nntioipat
ing this are receiving large consign•
menta of goods so that the best RS.
sortment at the lowest prices will
he placed within the reach of ens.
leere aba the public generally,
Bruseels grain and produce market
stands second to none in the two
Counties and the farming cummuu•
ity will only be consulting their
own interests in dealing here.
THE Manitoba embroglio over the
building of the new railway contin-
ues to grow more interesting and at
the eame time more complicated.
Provincial Treasurer Lariviere, of
Manitoba, says he has negotiated a
loan with the Seminary of St.
Sulpice, Montreal, by means of
which he released 'the raile there.
It dem not appear, however, that
the bonds have been disposed of,
The Ottawa Government aro now
said to threaten the witholding of
the Provincial subsidy in ease of
further contumacy. A new election
would probably bring the Govern-
ment to their sensor/ and at the
same time give the Manitobans an
opportunity of giving expression to
their feelings.
AT 11 special meeting of the Do-
minion Alliance Executive, at To-
ronto, this week, the question of
Prohibition was freely and fully
discussed and a strongly worded
resolution was carred unanimously.
It was couched as follows :—
If there be one and only ,me such
candidate in the field, i le the ditty
of Prohibitionists to vote fur inch
candidate, and if they (mint Co en
at least withhold their vetes, If
there is no such candidate in the
field, then shall the Prohibitionists
put forward another and vote for
bun.
It is the immediate duty of Pro
hibitioniste to organise and lengue.
They recommend that politic -.l no
tion be on the lines indicated by the
following resolutions, the adoption
of which your committee very
strongly recommend to tl e con-
vention :-
1, Resolved that it is the duty of Pro-
hibitionists in every constituency to see
that at every election, Parliamentary or
municipal, there is in the field a known
and outspoken Prohibitionist candidate,
having the other neoessarx qualifications,
for the purpose of bringing the whole
strength of the Prohibition vote into
active force in favor of immediate Pro-
hibition.
That all voters be canvassed with a
view to the immediate enrolment under
an agreement in accordance with these
reeolutions, and their organisation into
electoral associations to secure Prohibi-
candidates.
2, Resolved that a Prohibition candi-
date is one who favors, and from hie
record can be trusted to support and
actively labor for the immediate passage
and thorough enforcement of a National
Prohibitory Law.
That the exeoutive of the Alliance be
requested to present the subatanoe of this
platform to the courts of those ecclesias-
tical bodies whioh have expressed them-
selves thoroughly in favor of Prohibition
and urge their endoreation and active co-
operation throughout the Dominion, and
that they be requested to eonsider the
desirability of bolding a general confer-
ence of religious bodies for this purpose,
That the Temperance friends agree as
a settled understanding that all known
advocates for the repeal of the Scott Act
be opposed in the future for all public
positions.
'I'he above will indite some of our
politicians and would be M. P's and
P's scratch their heads. If
the temperailoe people are in ear-
nest they have the cure largely in
their own hands.
TIM meeting for the discussion of
Commercial Union will be held in

Journal, of Hamilton ; Velem E.
Fuller, President of the Permanent
Fermis' Inetitute and otiii.rf, `hie
meeting will oondmence at 1 o'clock

on the railways. We hope the
farmers of the E'ast Riding of Hur-
on, who wore the first to move iu
this important matter in this Coun-
ty, will be in attendance and do MI
in their power to help themselves.
IT would appear that Caledonian
games have about mu their race
for the time being in this locality
and the society will in all probabil-
ity not contnthe these annual gath-
erings for a few years at least. We
would suggest, however, that Bras -
seta hold an annual celebration of
come kind on the Queen's Birthday
or Dominion Day and let a regular
old fashioned lift of gaines and
sports be made up so that the prizes
will be competed for by the reeidents
of this locality. Other to mug do
this and why should not 13ruseels
Years ago successful gatherings of
this kind were held and a good deal
of fun was enjoyed but they were
allowed to die out. Of course it is
too late to do anything this year
but we jn up the subject new so
as to give opportunity for disoueeion
and prepare the way fur 'totting a
day apart early next year.

Evangeliet Moody is to be invited to
conduct services at Montreal.
The contract prioe of the iron bridge
now building for the Niagara Central
Railway at Thorold is $88,000.

One of the longest barns in Guelph
township was raised last week on the farm
of D. & 0. Sorby. Its dimensions are 150
x54 feet.
Mrs. Jas. Bmitb. of Ayr, has completed
a patch -work quilt containing 18,150
pieces of silk. It will be a feature of the
fall fairs.
ABattleford special says :—"Dr. Nilier
was found dead in hie room with his
brains blown out. Deceased was a med-
ical officer of the Northwest Mounted
Police.
It has just been learned that when the
British Columbia sealing schooner Alfred
Adams was seized in Behring's sea last
month she gave the Yankee cruiser the
slip. The 'United States revenue cutter
Rush had taken the Adams' sealskins
and tackle, put two men on board the
prize and ordered the captain to steer for
Sitka. Instead of obeying the orders of
his captor, however, the captain of the
Adams sailed for 'Victories B. C., where
he arrived a few days ago.
There is little doubt that Agnes Ma -
Cormick and Bella Lauder were driven
out into the lake and lost at Port Oredit.
They were boarding at Morse'e farm-
house, a mile west of Lorne Park. Miss
McOormick was a strong girl, but knew
little about the management of a boat.
Mise Lauder was younger and an invalid.
They started to row to the park, but the
wind was blowing strong off shore and
the waves were high, and they were driv.
so out in the lake and probablydrowned.
The Rebellion Claims Commission has
completed its labors, and the various
awards made by it have been paid by the
Governnaent, Over $90,000 have been
paid during the last two or tlIMA weeks
in the Calgary district alone. The Com-
mission rajeoted a large number of claims,
and awarded only a fraction of the amount
claimed in many others. The clahnants
in these oases feel aggrieved, and many
of them have decided to sue the Govern.
ment in the Exchequer Court. The Bell
Parra Company have alreadytoken as.
tion and their example is being followed
by a number of others.
For some weeks past R. Sylvester, of
Sylvester & Bros., agricultural works,
Lindsay, has been trying to obtain a good
well on the property where hie new
mansion is being erected. A small
spring prevented digging, ao drilling was
attempted. At thirty feet water was
struck. The water continues flowing at
the rate of 2,000 gallons a day from two
inch pipe. Other wells are running at
various places in town, and there is great
rejoioing at the preepeet of a public water
supply. An agreement has been signed
by the Council of the town of Lindsay
and the Grand Trunk Railway, whereby
workshops for the midland division of
the G. T. IL is being located here. Al-
ready one brick building two hundred and
twenty feet long is in oourse of emotion.
At Toronto about 8 o'clock on Tuesday
night what might have resulted in fright-
ful loss of life was only averted by steam-
ers being not far from the wharf at the
time of the =Melon. Three ferry boats
conveying passengers to and from the
Exhibition Grounds collided opposite
Brock street wharf. The Gertrude was
coming from the wharf, the Queen City
from the Exhibition Grounds and the
Sadie from York street wharf. Neither
the Sadie or the Queen City saw the
Gertrude till she was in lino with them
both, and before any of the boats could
slow up the Queen City struck the Gert-
rude in ono side and the Sadie on the
other side, smashing in her railings and
knocking four mon into the water. Three
men were saved but the fourth was
drowned. His name could not be asoert
tained. All the boats were crowded with
passengers and there was tremendons
exciternedfor a short thne. The Gertrude
was towed into Verli street wharf and
sank before she could be tied up. The
captain of the Queen City ie
first far not keeping out of the Way of
the other two boats, as she was the fast-
est, and, secondly, for signaling, which
she should not have done. A marching
investigation will bo made.

ing silk for a patchwork quilt. It con-
tains 18,150 pieces, some of which belong-
ed to the Queen, Princess Louise, Mrs„

It is reported that there has been dis-
covered near Tilsonburg an immense bed
of marble, side by side with the finest
sandstone for building or paving purpos-
es, and greet deposits of felspar (with
suitable clay for mixing), from whish the
finest white ware can be made.
The Alpha Oil and Gas 0o. of Sarnia,
have a location of thirty scree, situate
directly upon the St. Clair River, with
tankage facilities of 70,000 barrels of oil.
There are eight immense iron reeeptaelee
called oonverters, which have a capacity
of manufacturing 1,100 barrels of crude
petroleum into merchantable oils every
twenty-four hours. This Mr. Hall says,
will consist of kerosene oil, 75 percent;
gasoline or oil stove, 10 per cent; gee oil
or liquid fuel, 15 per cent. The petroleum
in the receivers is treated by heat and
electricity, andproceeds in vapor through
pipes into enormous wooden vats holding
5,000 barrels of water which condenses
the vapor into oil. The combination of
electricity and steam, it is claimed,
forms a new combination of gases which
greatly inoreases the volume of vapor
before reaching the condenser, In the
latter apparatus it is claimed that the
condensed steam liberates the oarbon
from the oil and washes oat all impur-
ities. Mr. Hall claims that when the
works are in full running order he can
turn out every twenty-four hours 800
barrele of kerosene, 200 barrels of gas-
oline and 400 barrels of liquid fuel of 20
gravity. A prominent structure on the
grounds ie the 'agitator,' an immense
circular iron tank, 95 foot in diameter
and 45 feet high. The ordinary method
of treatment is to introduce sulphuric
sold into the oil, tieing only two pounds
to the barrel, which effeots a large Baying.
An inexpensive chemical compound is
substituted, the materials at Which are
secret. In connection with the refining
of oil Mr. Hall is also erecting a gas ma.
ohine, which he claims will make 2,000,-
000 feet of good clear gas every twenty.
four hours, out of steam and liquid fuel.
Electricity is used to convert them both
into a gas. It costs to manufacture
about five cents per 1,000 feet, and 20,000
feet is equal to a ton of coal in heating
power. The invention also covers the
production of oil for paints and lubricat.
ing. The oil for points is claimed to be
bettor than linseed oil and Bells for from
75 (Ants to $1.25 per gallon by the car-
load.
