Toronto Mail says :—".An enthusiastic
audience greeted the Kelly Concert
Company last night in the Auditorium.
It was an evening of encores from the
first number on the program through
to the end. Mr Kelly selected as the
piece on his program, "Vieni la Mia
Vendetta" from Donzetti's opera of
"Lucretia Borgia." He sang in Eng-
lish, which was a severe test of his ar-
ticulation and phrasing, but he scored
a decided triumph. The Kelly Concert
Company is one of the strongest that
has appeared here this season."

the delight of those buyers who had a
few hundred barrels on hand. It is
said that some ot the parties here in-
terested in the export df fruit, arc.,
purpose erecting 'cold storage build-
ing," a thing much needed. Miss Mc-
Kay, of Stratford, is with Mr W. Moore

and other work done on the Singer
Sewing Machine. Mr Whitehead has

pany a cheque for $20, for services
rendered at the late fire.
FIN/M.—Friday night a man, named,
Rae', who belongs to Manchester, was
raising a disturbance at Schaffer's ho-
tel, threatiming-to-shoot all who came
within his reach. Constable 'Wheatley
was sent for and took him to the cool-
er for the night. Next morning he
was brought before the , Mayor, who
levied a peremptory assessment of $5
and costs, in all about $10. A
couple of youths who were fighting on
the station platform one day last week,
were brought before the mayor, who
imposed a: nominal fine of 25c each.
The object was simply to make the case
an example.
A SECOND ELECTRIC LIGHT COM-
PANY.—Representatives of the Edison
Incandescent Electric Light Co of New
York, have been in town for several
days, with a view to introducing the
system here, and claim to have receiv-
ed sufficient encouragement to war-
rant them in proceeding with the er-
ection of their line. It is intended to
put the lights only in business places,
and we are informed that over two
hundred lights have been eontracted
for. The plant will be located ' at Mr
Robt Downs', and will be under the
management of Messrs Jas. Howe and
11. B. Chant. Permission has been
granted by the council for the erection
of the poles, and it is expected that the
company will be operating by the 1st
of March. The town will be well sup-
plied with light, as we understand that
new dynamo will he put in the shop of
the Clinton Organ Co. to enable it to
run both the arc and incandescent
system. Efforts have been made to
unite both companies, or come to some
understanding, so that only one com-
pany would run, but so far without
success.

as soon as required. Mr Whitehead
was granted use of part of Ontario
street for building purposes. Mr Jas.
Howe was granted the privilege of
erecting electric light poles, providing
same do not interfere With traffic, or
destroy trees by their erection. Coun-
cillor Andrews suggested that as no
by-lavire relating to the town had been

move to have the by-laws consolidated
and re-issited, and at a future meet;rg
he woeld MoVe. that this Fe done. The
