=• Ye VALIANT KNIGHT. SIR OL►VeR, MRCS FORTlt)
TO VAN UISf YE VVVSOME DRAGON} ,/
About 500 men in Stratford are affected
by the closing down of the G. T.R. locomo-
tive works there, owing to the shortage of
the coal supply.
The Supreme Court of Iowa has decided
that every dollar pt 'd for Boor that is
sold contrary to law may be recovered from
the person or firm to whom it is'paid; that
tinder the law the money is received with
that express understanding.
Senator Drummond • has written Hon.
W. Laurier, asking him to withdraw the
statement made at the Pembroke meeting,
that he (Drummond) gets a salary of $60,-
000 a yet. as manager of Redpath's suear
,refinery. Mr Laurier replied that the
.statement had been made, repeated and
commented upon by the press for three
years, and he had never seen it denied or
• ohallenf,ed. What is the catch? Is Drum-
mond's salary only $59,000? In any case,
he should not'have a place in either House
of Parliament, to vote other people's money
into his own pocket.
On Thursday morning Mr R. T. Thomp-
, son, of Petrolea, a stonemason and brick-
L.yer, who was engaged in erecting a stone
foundation for a new barn on Mr John Mar -
,tin's farm, near Glenrae was instantly
killed by lightning. It appears that Mr
Thompson and his brother, J. J. Thompson,
and another man saw the storm coming up
while et work, and ran to a barn for safety.
They were in the building about ten or fif-
teen minutes, when the corner of the barn
was torn off by lightning, knocking the
other two gentler n senseless and killing
Mr R. T. Thompson instantly. He was at
one time captain of the Salvation Army
there, and is well known in many places.
He leaves a young vi ife and two small chil-
dren. He was killed standing with his
,arms around a post, in which attitude he
was found dead.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE REEVE
(Intended for last week.)
MR. ALEStNDER McMtmCHIE,—
DEAR SIR,—At the last council meeting,in
your -remarks to one of yonr fellow council-
lors, I am credibly informed„ you were
courteous enough to refer to me as
"Old Searle," though I was not pre-
sent. I do not deserve the remark from
you in the sense in which it was evidently
used. It is no disgrace to be old, especially
when a man combines sense with age, and
is old enough to know when to keep quiet.
During nearly 40 years' residence as a citi-
zen of Clinton I have done nothing to dis-
grace myself or family. I have done my
part to build up the town, by adding stores
and dwellings, and now pay $200 a year in
taxes. It may be because I differ from you
in municipal matters that you show your
ill -will. I hold that it is the duty of the
Street Committee to repair, as soon as can
be done, all old sidewalks, and leave new
ones until the last. As chairman of the
Street Committee you cover up ditches for
some no. sons, and allow others to make
trap doo_d in the sidewalk, with hinges
sticking up for persons to strike their toes
against; you name to my building on the
corner of Rattenbury and Albert streets,
and because the street drain was rotten,
took gravel which was put there at my ex-
pense, and used it for the town, a thing
you would not dare to do just across the
same street. I have always found yon to
attend to the duties of your office, but some
of your fellow citizens have retired from
die council sooner than stand the attacks
made on them. I have obeyed the by-laws
of the town, and done the best I can for it,
but I think you had no occasion whatever
to sneer at persons who, if not qutie as big
as yourself, may possibly be as good.
Yours truly, W. C. &Ants.

Cleveland had the moat severe hailstorm
ever known in the city last Friday evening.
Great damage was done to skylights and
shrubbe.y. The storm was very severe as
far sdu..i as Crestline.
A special from Washin, on gif s a sad
reason for the non-appearance of Mrs
Cleveland in society this season. It states
that little Ruth Cleveland is al lost deaf
and dumb. It is understood tbnt every-,
thing possible is being done for the child
and that Mrs Cleveland spends hours in
trying to teach it to articulate. The little
one's mind is said, ;n some quarters, to be
backward, but that is believed not to be
the case.

THE EXPORT HAY TRADE.
The Montreal Trade Bulletin of May 18
says: "Copious rains, followed by fine
weather, have brought on splendid pastures
in England, and consequently live stock
have been less dependent upon hay, which,
in the natural order of things, has depre-
ci,.,ted in price until good Canadian hay has
n sold in London at 70s per ton, while
poorer qualities have sold down at 60a and
65s. Sales of No. 2 Canadian have been
made at 02s 6d, c.i.f., Liverpool. I am
informed by a Boston firm that a consider-
able quantity of damaged hay has been
going forward to the English market of late,
and this, it is presumed, has helped to de-
moralize the market there. The big break
in the ocean freight market, however, seems
to have come opportunely to the aid of ship
pers of hay, engagements having been
made at 20s to 22s 6d to London and 15s
to Liverpool and Bristol, wl.ioh is reduc-
tion of 20s to 22s per ton on former con-
tracts.
