It is with the very deepest regret
that we, this week, announce the death
of Mr A. H. Manning, which occurred
on Sunday evening. This announce-
ment will not be a surprise to our
townspeople, who have known for
some time hisdelicate state of health,
but there is not, we believe, .a resident
here who' did not receive the state-
ment with feelings of deep sorrow and
regret. Not alone are these feelings
held by those so intimately acquaint-
ed and associated with him in town,
but by the wide circle elsewhere of
those who knew him. About 14 years
ago Alonzo Hodges Manning, then
having just passed with honors his
law examinatu:n, settled in this town.
He was a lithe, active figure, very
genial in disposition, and almost im-
mediately, and seemingly unconscious-
ly, entered into sympathy with the
people of the town and its interests.
For the first six months of his residence
here, he had the common experience
of many others in establishing a prac-
tise; it wag up -hill work. Shortly after
his location here another yc ung law-
yer, James Scott by name, also opened
an office. These two young men con-
cluded that a union of interests and
division of labor would be mutually
beneficial and advantageous;:the firm
of Manning & Scott was formed, and
has existed ever since with a large
measure of success. Being an easy,
fluent speaker, of pleasing manner,
with a faculty for getting through a
large amount of work, it was not long
before Mr Manning's help was sought
in connection with public duties, and
it was always remarked that anything
he took hold of was pushed with vim
and earnestness, and his zeal became
contagious with those he might be as-
sociated with. His ability as a young
man may be judged from the fact that
before he was 20 years of age, he was
filling the position of parliamentary
correspondent of the Montreal Herald
at Ottawa, a position that usually calls
for long experience and familiarity
with public affairs. In the general
election of 1878 he stem ed n erre;
in the interernon-;?lite' 1, neral candi-
Wee _ also stumped Algoma on be-
half of Mr Conmee, in 1886, having Mr
Meredith as his opponent on the plat-
form. He did effective platform work
in West Huron, on behalf of both Mr
Cameron and Mr Garrow, and there
are some who think thathis death was
hastened by exposure and overwork in
these. campaigns. Mr Manning was
a zealous worker in all departments of
Christian service, and was honored
with the presidency of the County
Sabbath School Association, and it
was often remarked by those associ-
ated with him in any work that in
executive ability and tact he had no
superior. He was for a time. President
of the Huron Central Agricultural So-
ciety, and threw into this organization
a zeal and stimulus that is yetroduc-
tive of good results. He filled for some
time the offices of reeve and deputy -
reeve of the town, and was so efficient
in the discharge of his public duties
that he could have had any position he
wished in town, had he so desired it.
Had his health not failed he most as-
suredly would have entered parlia-
ment, as his aspirations were all in
this direction, and his prospects un-
usually bright. He was at one
time President of the West Riding Re-
form Association. Four years ago he
went to Ottawa on business, where he
caught grip; he neves fully recovered
from this, though the effects did not
manifest themselves until two years int-
er, when consumption set in; over two
years ago he gave up work in his of-
fice and endeavored to recover his
health, but to no purpose, notwith-
standing the best of care and treat-
ment. During his long illness, and
oft times intense suffering, he has nev-
er complained, rather anticipating the
end with cheerfulness and confidence.
He was an official member of Ontario
St. Methodist church, of which he was
also a local preacher; a native of Wales;
an ardent Liberal; a member of both
the Canadian and Independent order
of Foresters, the Workmen and the
Oddfellows, and leaves a wife and two
children, his widow being a daughter
of the late Wm. Coats. It can be said
of him that he never undertook any
public duties that he did not success-
fully carry out, that he was never ask-
ed for assistance that •he did not gen-
erously grant, and that he endeavored
to the extent of his abilities to make
his influence for good felt in the com
dertaking business forrnerly carried=
by Mr, George Diehl, in which Wetness
he has remained ever sinoOt Mr. Chid
ley always teak a personal ^interest in
everything that related to, the well,:
being of the town, and v as Vitt six yearn
fits a ciont Reeve; while ocentWing.bin°
position' in the t00unty Council, his:
familiarity with the farm lands of the'
county, was of great assistance to the
Equalization committee, and his opin-
ion on various matters was much
Bought. and always.accepted withopt
question. He relinquished his position
as Reeve against the wishes of the peo-
ple, and only in deference to his own
inclinations, He was a man of strong
convictions, unusually well informed,
a good conversationalist, and able
to hold his own in an argument. He
was a staunch Conservative,and always
conceded to others the right to think
and act as they deemed best. After
retiring from the council be became a
member of the Board of Health. He
was an adherent of the Presbyterian
Church. By prudence and business
tact he acquired a competence, and
leaves his family well provided for, in
addition to having an insurance on his
life of $3000, in the Confederation. He
enjoyed good health until. a few months
ago, when an attack of grip left hien in
an enfeebled condition, from which he
never fully recovered, and which un-
questionably hastened his death. He
was aged 61 years and 11 months, and
was twice married. Three daughters
and one son of the first family survive
him -the son having been his business
partner; and his wife and four children
of the second family. There was a very
large attendance at his funeral Tues-
day afternoon. [He had not sat for a
photograph for a great many years,
consequently we are unable to give his
portrait, as we would liked to have
done]

Death of Mt . Joseph Chidley
The past few months has witnessed
the removal, by death, of several pro-
minent citizens, and to the list must be
added the name of another, one highly
esteemed and respected not alone in
town, but throughout the entire west-
ern section of Ontario. Mr. Joseph
Chidley, sr., who died on Saturday last,
bad resided here for nearly 40 years,
and he early established a reputation
for probity, uprightness and integrity
that ,,,has been maintained throughout
his long business cateer. Born in De-
vonshire, he came to this country about
the year 1851, and after remaining in
the east for a short time, came to Hu-
ron. He took the contract of chopping
five acres of land in the vicinity of
Blyth, on the completion of which he
moved to Clinton. In the year 1855 be
entered the etnploy of the late M. Mc-
Taggart, as traveller for the sale of fan-
ning mills, in which capacity he re-
mained for a number of years; thus
thrown into contact with people in all
parts of the country, he bees a widely
known and universally res ected. --
Some years later the firm ofMcTaggart
Co. was formed by the ad ition of
t. Chidley and Mr. A. M. urollie

people had entered cordially into all the
preliminary arrangements, decorating
their places with evergreens and flags,
while numerous committees had arranged
the various sports and games, giving a
program that was pleasing and unobjection-
able throughout, It is altogether likely
that the success of this year will warrant
the holding of a similar day's pleasure
every 1st of July hereafter. At day -break
Mr Thornton woke up the people by his
cannon salute.
The ToOn band, led by Mr Bhunk, and
the Blyth band, led by Mr S. Gidley, gave
an open air concert for one hour.

ed on the Park, and led off by W. J. Pais -

tary, and Dr. Shaw, Chairman, followed

Mr Swallow, contained a boat occupied by
Misses Lily end Reine Jackson, Maggie
Carling and Lula Eagleson.
Coxey's Army was the most grotesque
and humorous feature of the procession; it
represented the toughest lot of tramps out
of jail, and they bore banners with such
significant mottoes as "We demand Free
Beer -or Blood." After parading the
principal streets, the procession returned
to the Park.

Seafortb and Clinton took place, six men on

an innings to spare. The other match, in

ton, stood 7 to 6 in favor of Clinton.

contest between two set of hosemen with
nozzles. H. Glazier and J. West held one
nozzle, while W. Wheatley and R. Horsley
the other. Each set tried to down the
other, unroll to the amusement of the
crowd.
LACRossE.-A game between the Daunt-
less, of Clinton, and Stratfords, of Strat

of the back that laid him out for a few
minutes.

The late con at shows sadly how disor-
ganized the C taervatives are. Mr Mere-
dith is an ho linable and gifted man, but
he is not a p itician and it is doubtful if
he could oar y a general election in a oen-
tnry. Tor .tto News, Con.
Hon. Clarke Wallace, who was sent by
the Dominion Government to try to defeat
the Mowat Administration, prophesied on
the morning ofthe election that Ministers
Hardy, Harcourt, Rose, Dryden and Gib-
son were sure to be defeated. Now he has
been dubbed The Mandi.
MrEvanturel, the Liberal eleot in Pres-
cott, has a majority of 1254 over his Patron
opponent. He did not spend one single
day, one single dollar, or deliver one single
speech in his own constituency. MrEvan-
turel had been laboring with the French
Oanadian eleotors in the lumbering con-
stituencies, in the interests of the Mowat
Government.
Mr John McNeill, the member elect for
South Perth, is a Scotchman by birth, his
native town being Shotts, near Glasgow.
He is a member of the Fullerton township
oounoil and is also a life-long temperance
advocate and Liberal. Denominationally
Mr McNeill is a Baptist and superinten-
dent of the Sabbath School at Fullerton.
Mr McNeill is a farmer and a member of

The defeat of Hon. Mr Harty in King-
ston will impose upon Sir Oliver the bast
of either finding his Minister another seat
or else of calling another Roman Catholic
to his Cabinet. It will, also be necessary
for the Premier to choose at least one of
his Ministers from the east of the pro-
vince, Mr Fraser and Mr Harty being both
eastern men and the only eastern men in
the Government. The selection of a Pat-
ron might be a good tactical stroke so far
as the Liberals are concerned, but it could
hardly fail to weaken the hold of the Pat-
rons upon the country as an independent
movement.
I think the man who was least surprised
at the result was Mr Meredith himself.
Three or four days before the election I.
asked him his opinion, promising to re-
spect the privacy of any expression he
might use until after the election. "I feel
quite certain," said he, "that the public do
not yet understand the true position of af-
fairs and the meaning of what the Op-
position are trying to accomplish, and am
convinced that we will go into the next
Parliament no stronger, perhaps even
weaker, than we were in the one which has
just been dissolved."-Don(E.E. Sheppard)

Many of our readers will learn with feel-

Mrs William Capperoton, of Chicago, and
third daughter of Mr R McMichael, of Mo-
Killop, near Kinburn. Mrs Clapperton
was a victim of that terrible disease, con-
sumption, and was just entering upon the
prime of life when she was stricken down.
She was 29 years of age, About five years
ago she was married to Mr Olapperton and
for the past three years they have resided
in Chicago.
