TROUBLE AMONG THE
ORANGEIMetEN
The Wingham Advance of this
week says: Because of continued
splits in the Orange Lodges of North
Huron as to where they shall celebrate
July 12th each year, and also the fact
-that some lodges close to' Wingham
seem to prefer to celebrate with any
other county but their own, the mem-
bers of Wingham L. 0. L. have sent
s, communication to the county Mas-
ter, requesting to allow them to
'withdraw from the county of North
'Huron.
Wingham is so situatedi that they
are possibly more convenient to Bruce
county, and if they should decide
unite with Bruce Orangemen it woulcr
only be natural, as at, the present
time there are more of these brethren
who celebrate with Wingham each
year than there are from Huron.
-Goderich would, no doubt, take the
place of Wingham as it is such a
splendid Orange town.( ?)

the' following' account; "Harold
Scarlett, of 490 Princess avenue, Lon-
don Jost his life when a canoe cap-
sized in a light breeze a mile from
the head of the pier here early Tues-
day afternoon. Miss Eleanor Grim-
shaw, of 314 Ridout street, south
London, who was with young Scarlett
in the canoe, was rescued with difficulty
after clinging to the upturned canoe
for some time. 'There was a light
wind, and the waves were not threat-
ening when the two left the pier.
Some time afterwards, however, the
craft was seen to be overturned and
a rescue party was immediately or-
ganized. E. A. Brake,Leonard;
Thomas and Douglas McTavish launch-
edi a canoe and made their best time
in reaching the overturned boat.
When they were within fifty feet the
girl relinquished her hold on the keel
of the frail craft and swam to meet
the rescuers. She barely , reached
them before!collapsing, and was 'haul-'
ed in more 'dead than alive. In the
meantime Scarlett fatigued from hold-
ing on to the canoe, let go and went
to his death. Mr. • Searlett„ known
'familiarly to the members of the
Orient Club and other young Lon-
doners as "Sky," was about 20 years

d" but for a fe* Months had been
assisting his father, 'William Scarlett,
in the insurance business. He had
been here for a fete days holidaying..
His parents have been informed of
the tragedy and are on their way to
Port. The canoe with the two young
people was seen to be in distress .for
half an hour before the fact was ap-
preciated that it was overturned and
the occupants in the water. Regret
is expressed that Mr. Scarlett could
not have hung on for a momentiong-
er, when rescue was so close. But
be had become so exhausted helping
the young, woman maintain her hold
on the canoe that he was unable to
support himself longer. The canoe
bad been rolling over and over. Young

scores of London's young people.

The, Late W. J. Clark.—In last
week's issue we made mention of the
death of Mr. William James Clark,
one of our pioneer business men, and
the follotwing will be of interest: to
his many relatives and friends. The
deceased was in his 61st year and

nee Miss Christina Bengough, three'
'daughters, Mrs. A. Anderson:, of, the
township of Hay; Mrs. Kilpatrick. ,of
the township of Tuckersmith; Mrs.
Mason' of Whitechurch, and one son, ,
AlfredE. Clark. The deceased was'
born in the township of Hay, near
Hillsgreen, and when a young lad
came to our village to learn the black-
smithand carriage -making business
with Messrs. Blatchford and Brown.
After Mr. Blatchford went .out West
he entered into partnership With Mr.
Brown, of this village, continuing that
partnership for a long term of years
and until his health failed him and he
was obliged to give up the wOrk in
which he had, so ably and faithfully
engaged for such a long term of
years. After his ion, Alfred E., re-
turned from the war, he took his
father's place in the business which
is still carried on. under the old firm
name of Brown and Clark. Mr.

attendance. He. was also a member

last by the Oddfellows, of whom the
deceased had long been an honored
member. The service at the home
was conducted by Rev. Mr. Rivers.

denly, but not unexpeceedly, as he
had been suffering from diabetes for
some time, and his lose will not only
be felt by his relatives and friends
but also by'the village and commun-
ity, where. he had resided so long and
was so well liked. Thus one by One
our pioneer residents are passing

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, August 17.—
One had to go back a long way to find in
a Monday market which from point of view
of extreme dullness could equal this morn-
ing's. A week ago the cattle trade was un-
doubtedly slow, but to -day it was about as
lifeless as could well be imagined. The poor
quality of the offering was largely to blame.
There were buyers in search of good killers
and the comparatively small lot of cattle
carrying fat having been sent over the
scales, nobody seemed to have any particular
need for anything that remained. The good
cattle commanded values steady with last
week's dollar: decline. Medium to fair butch-
ers were a shade easier than on Thursday
last but as for the common killers it was
impossible to determine the situation as
drovers who got an opportunity to dispose
of their poor stuff did so at a sacrifice rather
than face the bigger break which is almost
certain to come later during the week, when
the numbers of common grade killers begin
to pile up. The week end shipments were
comparatively light, but there were penned
over eight hundred head of cattle which fail-
ed to find buyers last week, and some bad
been hanging around 'the yards since Mon-
day. At the close to -day several hundred
head of thin stuff remained unsold and there
did not appear to be any prospect of an
early outlet. Good cows and bulls, and the
number was limited, met a fair trade li..t
last week's closing values. There was
practically no market for the common cows
and thin bulls, and bologna bulls were in
little request
There was no improvement in the stocker
trade, farmers -.being still too busy with their
crops. The few milkers forward sold at firm
prices.
Yeah were not only slow but up to a dol-
lar weaker for all grades except the very
choice calves which dropped half a dollar.
Sheep were a fair, steady trade, but lambs
were draggy at last Thursday's quotations,
the best lambs cashing in up to $13.50.
Packer -buyers had offered $18.70 f. o. h.
for hogs loaded Saturday. They la not suc-
ceed in bringing off the cut antt the light
offering cashed in on a slow tnarket at
$19.25 f.o.b., which was ThursdV'S price.
A weaker trade is almost certain 'later dur-
ing the week. Some drovers and farmers
are apparently not aware that there is a de-
duction of 5 cents per pound on all sows.
The receipts, were 127 carloads with 2,654
eattle, 632 calves, 1,580 hogs and 1,890 sheep
and lambs.
