Crops in Huron `
(Globo Report)
Goderiob July 14.—krait is the feature
of the agricultural eitnation in the Goderioh
district today. There are othercrops
which are excellent, but ell around here
theca are magnificent orchards loaded down
with the finest fruit whioh has been grown
for many a year, and every one here is
thinking of the five hundred thousand
barrels of splendid apples which the district
promises to produce. The apples, tno, will
be finer than usual, and the general average
of quality is very high, there being a re-
markable freedom from insect plagued,
scab, blight and similar evils. Plums,
which in other conntiee have been pract-
ically a failure. here yield an enormous
orop. Great quantities and there is a
great crop of other small fruits. The re-
pute as, to oersals coincide closely with
this reports which are given for Oxford and
Perth. Hay is about a halt.orop, and fall
wheat alio a halt crop, what there is of ft
showilt an efaelleat stunple. and
etre exoelient, promising a remarkably
good crop, and fortunately there is an in-
creased acreage of these grains. There is
not so much barley sown here this year as
in some other districts. What is grown
gives a good berry. Where is A pRStleularly
large increase of the area devoted lo cora,
espeoially for purposes of fodder, and the
partial failure of the pasturage has made
this an extremely timely move on the part
of the farmers. The corn planted is doing
particularly well. There bas been an
average rainfall in the course of the season.
There is one incident of the situation here
which must be extremely gratifying to the
Ontario Government: the two most striking
features of the situation have a close con-
nection with meaeuree initialled by the
Department of Agriculture. The fruit crop
is not only enormous, but is remarkably
Olean, because people sprayed their trees.
The one weak point in the yield is in the
comparative failure of the pastures end the
hay crop, but the farmers have oorn to fall
back upon.

A HEAVY L088.
Sinking of a Couple of Heavily Laden
Grate Vessels,
Brockville, Ont., July 14.—The rook
shoal in the St. Lawrence, about three
miles above Brookville, was the scene of
a bad disaster about nine o'clock this
morning. As a result one of the largest
steam barges in the river and lake traffle
lies at the bottom of Waterous Bay,
while her consort is piled hard and fast
on the shoal The vessels In question are
the steam barge Samoa, owned by Brown
& Co., Buffalo, and the three -masted
sohooner Celtic, the property of G. Jack-
son, Bay City, Mich. Both had grain
cargoes consigned to the Presoott eleva-
tor, the former carrying 74,000 bushels
of oats, and the latter 47,882 bushels of
Dorn. The Celtic was in tow of the
Samoa at the time of the accident. The
shoal is situated in the centre of the
channel, and has always been a menace
to navigation. It was commonly reputed
to carry eight or alae feet of water, but
it did not, and a couple of years ago the
Government spent considerable money
blasting off its top. Capt. Stewart of the
Samoa, who was in charge, said he knew
of the shoal, but must have got too close
to It. At all events, the steamer, run-
ning at her usual speed, struck the shoal
with each force that her bottom must
have been badly stove in. The water
rushed -into her hold in a torrent. Capt.
Stewart oast away the tow -line, end,
turning the Samoa about, headed her
for Waterous Bay, where he enooeeded
to beaching her before she settled to the
bottom. In the meantime the Celtic was
left to her own resources, and was also
carried down on the shoal. She struck
with considerable force, but does not
seem to have damaged her hull to each
an extent as the Samoa Water began to
show in her hold, but the crew aro keep-
ing it clear by working the pumps. It is
impossible to say just how much the
Samoa is Injured. She lies in 18 feet of
water aft, and her upper decks are out.
She was drawing 16 feet of water at the
time of the accident. Both vessels and
their cargoes are insured. Shortly after
the accident the captains of the boats
rowed to Bitterest and telephoned a mes-
sage to Brown & Co., at Buffalo. They
then signalled the Empire State, which
called in at Hilloroat and brought them
on to Brookville They next telegraphed
Folger Broe, of Kingston, being anxious
to lighter the Celtic as soon as possible,
and expect assistance at once. A steam
pump will also be put on the Samoa.

Effective July 15.
These orders will be obeyed according.
Approved—Charles M. Hays, general
manager; F. H. McGuigan, general su-
perintendent.
The officers of the rural militia propose
to ascertain at once the intentions of the
Minister of Militia with regard to Damps
of tnetrnotion this year. The officers of
the corps in the district about Montreal
propose holding a meeting here shortly
to discuss the selection of a deputation
to go to Ottawa, and the militia through-
out the Dominion will be asked to co-
operate. If this year 1s allowed to go by
without camps, it will make the second
year that the whole of the rural militia
has not been drilled, while for half the
force it will be the third season passed.
The officers say that by allowing the year
to pass without assembling the rural
militia the force would be completely
nd permanently disorganized.
A VILE ASSAULT.
Attempted Grime by an Italian Peddler. --
Hie Subsequent Arrest.
Niagara Falls, Ont., July 14.--A more
exasperating ease of attempted outrage
has Dome to light on this side of the
river. An Italian fruit vender is ander
arrest, oharged with enticing a little
girl, Ada Nickerson, aged twelve years,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Nicker-
son, of Lnndy's Lane, into the blush,
with Intent to assault her. The vinian
was, however, observed, and is now 1n
the toils of the police. The little girl
clearly identified the man, and told how
he enticed her away with fruit and candy.
It will go hard with the Italian. Even
his own countrymen denounce him, and
refuse to interest themselves in hie be-
half.
Barrie Murder Case.
Smith Falls, Ont., July 14.—The ad-
journed inquest in the Barnes murder
Daae was resumed this morning. and as
no further light had been revealed it
was decided on consultation with the
County Attorney to (lose the matter.
The jury, before dismissal. rendered the
following verdict: "That the deceased
Thomas Barnes Dame to his death y a
pistol ahot at the hands of some person
or persons unknown." This concludes
the ease for the present unless something
odours to justify the authorities in taking
It up again.
For the first time since the murder of
i Hackett in Victoria -square, the Mon-
treal Orangemen marched on Sunday
in full regalia, with bands and banners.
The bands played religious lather than
party airs and everything passed oil
very quietly. '

MARRIAGE LICENSES.—ThO90 who
wish to get spliced without some
extra trouble will need to hurry up.
An important change has been made
in the law relating to marriage licenses
which take effect on the first of next
month. Heretofore it hits been neces-
sary for the intended groom only to
make affidavit to the necessary facts
before an issuer of licenses, but from
August let, both parties to the intend-
ed marriage must personally make af-
fidavit. It is not necessary that both
parties should appear before the issuer
at the same time, but until each has
made affidavit the license cannot be
issued. The girls will have to pluck up
courage to comply with these new pro-
visions.
"No FLIES ON us."—There is a big
fortune in store for anyone who will
invent something effective for the de-
struction of the pesky house fly. The
fly pad, wire cage, and all the other
devices get away with quite a number,
but they don't appear to diminish.
The amount of comfort that is lost,
and unorthodox language indulged in,
through (he persistent attacks of the
miserable. insignificant, contemptible
fly is awful to contemplate. On sulkry
days there is nopossibility for a literary
genius like ye editor to sit at his desk
and commit to paper anything intellig-
ible, Let us get some effective means
of dealing with the house fly, without
having to eat them in our victuals or
slap our neck into blisters in the
struggle for freedom.
How AWKWARD IT WILL BE IN 1900.
