Thursday a Day of Funerals In London.
Last Thursday was a never-to-be-
forgotterl day of funerals in Londen.
There was scarcely an hour from
seven o'clock until five that hearses
were not passing along the streets,
heading towards the cemeteries, and
it proved a vivid reminder of the ex•
perience through Which the citypassed
after the Victoria disaster, in 1881, and
the London West flood, in 1885. Long
lines of sorrowing friends and citizens
in vehicles and on foot followed the
coffins, and the services in each case
were simple but deeply impressive..
There was one•exception to this rule..
It wag that of the late Stephen Wil-
liams, Who wits buried by the city, the
funeral taking place from the City
hospital. The unfortunate man ap-
pears to have had no friend's, at least
no one claimed the body. In conse-

W. Rutledge Hasa Very Sore Bye.
. Mr. W. Rutledge has his left eye
bandaged and somewhat feat's he may
lose' the sight of it. He dates the
origin of the trouble back to August
when a thistle found lodgment in the
eye and the injury had not been
cured when "it was aggravated by a
splash of mortar while working at the
rink. Mr. Rutledge's enforced idle-
ness has compelled him to throw up a
fairly good job and, work not being any
too plentiful, this is an additional
hardship.

Harlands Turned On the Oas Tuesday.
Harland Bros. made their first ex-
periment with acetylene gas Tuesday
evening and the result was entirely
satisfactory. The light is really super-
ior, strong and steady, yet mild. It
isnot so dazzlingly brilliant as other
means of illumination in general use,
but its greatest virtue is its cheapness,
Some have estimated that its cost is
about equal to coal oil at six cents per
gallon. A large , number of citizens
have come up to see what acetylene is
capable of and several are alre.tdy
talking seriously of piping their hous-
es. We have been given these figures
as the cost pee year of lighting three
of the Goderich churches :—North St.
Methodist, electric light, $120; Catho-
lic, gasoline, $90; Preshyterian, acety-
lene, $35.

The First Publisher of Waterloo Dead.
Mr. Benjamin S. Burkholder, the
oldest school teacher in Waterloo
county, died in Strasburg Wednesday
of last week, aged 83. Mr. Burkholder
once was a journalist, rtud in 1835 is-
sued the first uewsprlper in Waterloo
county, calling it the Morning Star.
He taught school for twenty years.
Doherty Pond of Good Horses.
Last week Mr. W. Doherty bought
a magnificent heavy draught mare to
mate "Charlie," from Mr. Jno. Shana-
han, of 1-iullett, for which he paid - a
handsome pi ice. Mt,. Doherty has
now one of the finest of dray teams.
They are wonderfully well -matched
and are really a handsome team. Each
weighs nearly a ton and to look at
them one would imagine they could
dr'aw,well many tons. It there is a finer
team in Canada just let "W. D." know
and he will soon be after them, too.
Postponement of Postage Reduction.
Sometime ago ie was authoritively
announced that it was the intention of
the Postmaster -General at Ottawa to
reduce the' rate upon letters to the
United 'Kingdom and other parts of
the Empire from 5 cents per ounce to
3 cents per ounce. It seems however
that this good intention cannot be
carried into effect at the time stated,
Jen. 1st, 1898, rand the proposed reduc
tion has therefore been postponed.
The old rate upon letters for Great
Britain and any of her colonies, name-
ly 5 cents for ? ounce will still be
charged until the arrangement with
the other countries affected has been
accomplished.

John A. Cooper Deals with the French Regime.
A most interesting talk was the
first of a series of three on "Canadian
History," to he given in the parlors of
the Central Y. M. C. A.., Toronto,
which was given last Friday eveniu
by Mr. John A. Cooper, B. A., (broth-
er of A. T. of the bookstore,) editor
of the Canadian Magazine, on "The
French Regime." Mr. Cooper opened
his remar ks by pointing out the bene-
fits to he derived from a diligent study
of history, showing that if a person
desired to know the advantages of the
present Canadian constitution it was
essential that something should be
known of the earlier constitution.
The "French Regime," he said, was
marked by the four" French-Canadian
heroes—Cartier, Champlain, Fronten-
ac, and Montcalm. He explained that
Cartier's landing on the American con-
tinent was an important event, not be-
cause of any exploruations he made, brit
because of the territory acquired for
the French King. Ohareplait was
really the founder of Canada, but the
• new country mode the tnost progress
commercially and otherwise under
Froritenac. Montealm's time was. oc-
cupied in en endeavor to keep the
territory acquired.

•

The Town Council for 1898 met Mon-
day noon, took the oath of office,
selected the committee to select the
Standing cornutittees for the year and
thus made ready to settle down to
regular' business at the evening session.
Mr. Taylor was the only absentee. He
has not yet wound up his affairs in
Walkerton. When the Council
assembled in the evening the Mayor
made a brief inaugural address. He
expressed himself as pleased to see so
many of the old members re-elected
and had no doubt but they would
work together harmoniously, especi-
ally in view of the fact that the dis-
turbing element, as he termed it,
of 97's Council is not now a member.
The first business+ taken up was the
consideration of a petition received
from t he authorities of the Hospital
for Sick Children, Toronto, an institu-
tion founded by the munificence of
John Ross Robertson and doing a
noble worn in caring for the sick and
destitute. A grant was asked. The
benefits of the Hospital are not
confined to • the children of the
city and gra,nts have been made it by
ninny municipalities throughout the
province. The Fathers were unanim-
ous that Clinton should also contri-
bute. The Reeve and Councillor
Plummet thought a five -dollar grant
would do for a starter. Councillor
Todd eulogized the Hospital hut pre-
ferred instead of a town grant a
private subscription, of say one dollar
from each member of the Council.
Councillor Doherty said five -dollars
was a rather small surn to vote in a case
of this nature so moved and Councillor
Ford seconded an amendment that it
be increased to ten. The motion was
withdrawn and the amendment carried
unanimously.
The report of the Medical Health
Officer was again read and several
items in it discussed at some length,
but on motion of Doherty—Plummer
action was deferred to next meeting.
In the meantime fuller informa-
tion on the subject is to be obtained.
The Council divided on the selection
of auditors. Doherty—Todd—That F.
R. Hodgins be appointed auditor by
this Council. Moved in amendment
by Plummer—Bower's—That John
Wiseman he appointed auditor by this
Council. The amendment carried by
five to four. The Mayor named Mr.
Peter Cantelon the second auditor.
Salary, $10 each.
On motion of Mackenzie—Wtltse Mr.
Williarn Jackson was re -appointed
High School Trustee for another three-
year term.
The Mayor spoke of the catastrophe
in London where so many deaths were
caused by the collapse of the floor of
the City Hall. He thought it convey•
ed a lesson and that our own Town
Hall should be carefully examined. He
suggested that a "committee -composed
of Messrs. Jas. Fair, Sr., R. Ransfoad
and Plutniner be_ appointed for that
purpose. Councillors Todd, Doherty
and Plummer expressed themselves in
favor .of the addition of an outsider to
remove any prejudice there might he
in the matter. The Reeve thotyght a
local builder should be satisfactory.
Councillor Mackenzie was of the same
opinion, but finally on motion of Todd—
Ford Mr. Foster, of Wingham, who
assisted in the erection of the Hall, was
selected to co-operate with Messrs.
Fair, Ransford and Plummer.
The street electric lighting system
was discussed at some length. The
junior representative from St. George's
ward favored replacing the arc lights by
incandescents 00 back streets. Coun-
cillor Doherty suggested the "Cluster
and Reflection" system. Deputy Jones
told of the use of incandescenta
in other towns which he had
visited, ,but from what he saw
was not very favorably disposed to
their replacing the arcs. Other mem-
bers spoke but no action was taken,
awaiting further information.
The calamity which so recently befel
the City of London was introduced
and on motion of Todd --Plummer a
suitable resolution of condolence wee
ordered to be prepared, engrossed upon
the minutes, and a copy sent to the
authorities of the grief-stricken city.
rhe snowdrifts which will gather on
the Base line in stormy weather the
Council thinks can he avoided by the
erection of wire fencing and according-
ly adopted this motion of Kennedy--
Tddd—That this Council grant a small
sum to Andrews Bros., not to exceed
40c per rod and, for not over 40 rods,
to erect a wire fence on the Base line
north.
The Collector's Roil was extended
another month, but Mnyor and Coun-
cil alike were of the ophniod that
when the new Roll comes out some
change of system must be made to
overcome these extensions of time.
