—The adoption of the Scott Act was
voted. an last Thursday in the united
counties of Dandas, Stormont, and Glen-
gary, resulting in an overwhelming ma-
jority in favor of the measure. A peti-
tion for the repeal of the Act was also
voted on in Prince Edward Island, a
- Small majority being recorded in favor
of continuing it in force.
—A curious case has arisen under the
Scott Aet. A petition having the re-
gaieite number of signatures was pre-
sented to the Government for the sub-
mission of the Act in an Ontario county,
and subsequently a second petition was
forwarded, stating that a number of
signers wanted to withdraw their names.
As this would have involved the rejec-
tion of the original petition, the Gov-
ernment, in order to establish the law
in such a peculiar case, have decided to
submit the question to the Supreme
Court for its decision.
—A circalar has been issued by Mr.
J. Hickson, General Manager of the
Grand Trunk Railway, calling attention
to the great increase in the tramp nni-
sauce on the railway, and the danger of
fire and robbery caused by the same.
The circular orders every official and
employee to see that no tramps are
allowed to either steal rides in freight
trains, sleep in cars on the track., or loaf
around the company's premises The
circular is couched in strong language,
and as the employee's position will de-
pend on the faithful performance of this
part of his duty, the tramp element had
better not be found around" the premises
