Stale Horse arid Buggy A Howick farmer drove to Clifford last Saturday evening and put his horse and buggy in the shed while he transacted his business at the stores. An hour or so later, when he was ready to go home he discovered that his outfit bad been atolan. The police in the neighboring towns were immediately notified, and the guilty party, a young man from Hamil- ton, was arrested at Palmerston on Sun- day afternoon, Constable Maurer of Clifford took the prisoner to the Guelph jail on Monday. No Mahogany Chair& On April 6 in the Legislature before the orders of the day were called Hon. Mann- ing Doherty arose on a question of privil- ege to contradict reporti of extravagant expenditure for elaborate furniture in his private room at the Parliament buildings. Dozens of newspapers, he said, has Atated that among the articles in his room were a mahogany chair coating $185 and a mah- ogany rocker at $190. ,-Those articles were never in the room and were never purchased by the depart- ment of public works for the room," said Mr. Doherty. He added that anything he wanted he was quite capable of getting himself. Fatally Pounded by Wheel Wedged between a wheel and the spring of his buggy, and the horse standing in the barnyard attached to the carriage, John Voted, aged 27. a farmer on the Durham road. near Riversdale, was found dead on Satlirday morning by his brother. The young man went to visit John : Mc- Glynn, on the 12th concession of Culr�ss, on Friday night and left there about lo o'clock to go home. For the last year Valad had been in the habit of driving the horse without a bit in the bridle and it is thought that the animal suddenly started and threw him forward in such a manner that he fell bead downward between the wheel and the buggy spring. How far the horse travelled before reaching home is rot knpwn. A wound on the headin- dicated that Valad had been kicked while in the auspended,position. The spoke& of the wheel also pounded the victim. Dr. GillieB of Teeswater was called, but decided that an inquest was un- necessary. Mr. Valad was unmarried and in addition to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Valad, is survived by several brothers and sisters. The funeral was held on Monday. Raney May Quit I Rumors that the Hor�. W. E. Raney was about to resign have got under the way so frequentIv andhave persisted so stFadily without any sign of the attorney -gen ral giving up hispost that fresh reports to that effect have for some time been taken with more than a few grains of salt. Recently. however, the talk in the lob- bies of the House has been unusuaally definite and most of it is traced back to the Government side of the House, The latest rumor is that Mr. Raney will retire some time after the present session. It is said that the attomey-general has bad to put up with some plain talk in cau- cus from some of the Government support- ers, who feel that he is getting the coali- tion into difficulties, and that he is getting to the point where he is about to throw up the job and go back to private pratice.
