All the section men .on the L.,'11. & 13. were taken to London an Wednes- day Morning of • last Week and put at shovelling coal in the Greed Trunk yards. They were 'given no notice of the conwany'S intention •and were picked up where they were found at work .by the express. The ' consequence was that the men had. to 'leave their giggers and tools by the traekside and it some instances to go without their coals which Were laying on their cars at:some distance from where they were just at that time Working. And many of them had not a cent in their pockets wherewith to pay for their din- ners. Fortunately a few had a little . of the wherewithal and divided it a - maid. The men Were brotight home by special -train in the evening and dropred off where they, had to leave their giggers in the morning and some of them had to pump three mileto theirlhOmes after dark.

THE BANK WILL BUtLit, Clinton was favored leat week by a vinit from Mr. D. M.. Stewart, gener- al Manager of the Sovereign Bank one of Canada's youngest but most progressive phartered banks. • Mr. Stewart came to decide on a perman- ent location for the Clinton branch, a formal announcement of which will be lna.de in a few clays. The business done by the Cliutoh branch to date ha.s been of a very encouraging nat- ure and the prospects for its future Sueeess here are very bright, and in- side of a very few months our main business gtreet will have another build- ing added which will do credit both to the bank and to the town. The success of the Sovereign tank as a whole has been remarkable, indicated by the fact that after only six months' operations in Toronto their premises there sire already found somewhat cramped. 'Under the able management of Mr. Stewart and a very strong board of directors the bank has secure cd the confidence of the public in a very marked degree, right from the start, and that the banking fraternity 'awe faith aisle in the institutiott Is evidenced by the numerous appli. cations for positions coming from the employees of the older Canadian banks, SHIPMENTS.

He, was a witness of the melaucholy spectacle of six hundred Doukhobors marching to death. Many of them were becoming weak for lack of nourishment, though the settlers' were giving them food to prevent speedy starvseion. One 'man eollapsed from hunger. Mr. Jeffrey. says he had no illness but was sirup- :ly famished. Some were bare -headed and bare-footedand a sudden change or temperature such as may noiv be expected et any time, -would mean death to many. Mr. Jefferytried to reason With them and to show them that it was their duty to return home and care fOr their. wives and children but his words had absolutely no ef- feet. They insisted that they were .following . Jesus and following his co- mmandments by forsaking • ail that they had. They believ.ecl that Jesus 'would take care of them but said if they died it woirld be .allright. ; they were , ready to die .for Him. 'They had ho complaint to make against anybody, expressed no dissatisfaction with the country but said , that the Government had, been good to them and the people lied been kind.- Mr. Jeffrey doubled whether they would ever get as far as Winnipeg. He saw no way of doing anything with -them but thought they would neve to be let alone to sutler the consequences of their infatuation until some atilluerice should bring there back to zenity.
