The Harriston Hockey teem, accom- panied by two hundred supporters, came to Wingliam by special train on Wednesday evening of last week to play tae final game in the Northern League, Having a lead of ono goal front the previous game, the Harris - ton boys fully expected to at ]ealst hold the locals down to a tie and thus capture the Cup, but they were sadly disappointed, being overwhelmingly defeated by the one-sided score of 9-1; the lone goal being scored on an off - aside play. Long before the Harriston contingent arrived, tete rink was crowded with hockey enthusiasts. At 8.15 the Champions appeared on the ice and were given a rousing t'o- ception from the throng that had gathered from far and near. In a few minutes' time the Harriston boys stepped on the ice and were also loud- ly cheered. After aL few minutes' work -oat, A. McIvor. of Godorich sum- moned the rival teams to the centre and gave the usual warning. Play commenced. at a furious pace and in two minutes the Champions scored their first goal, and in a short time No. 2 was scored, thus giving them a lead on the round. Excite- ment ran high when the visitors tied the round by scoring from off -side. The locals then got very busy and soon landed No. 3, which was followed shortly afterwards by two more. The visitors, although they rushed many times, were unable to score, and at half time the score stood 5-1 in favor of the locals. Although good hockey was played in the first half, the on- lookers were treated to a still better exhibition in the Iast half. Every elan was playing the game of his life, and after six minutes' play the tension of excitement was relieved by the locals scoring their 7th. The locals then became careless, feeling that the Cup was practically won, and some of then indulged in tripping, which the rales do not allow of coarse, and foul' of there were sent to the fence. With seven men to three, it was Harriston's chance of a lifetime to run up the score, but they failed to even change it. Galloway, by a clever trick, held the whole Harriston team in the cor- ner for fully a minute and when they at last broke away, he followed them down and helped Wilson break up the line, and when a shot was made, Moore cleared, and McLean who had just resumed play, got the puck and rushed up the rink, and though charg- ed and tripped, landed the puck in the net, making the prettiest play of the evening( At this stage, the game commenced to get rough but the refe- ree kept the players well in hand And put down anything like rough work, thus winning for himself the respect of players aucL,spectators. A. few rushes, a mix-up or two, and another goal for the locals, were incidents in the closing minutes of this great game and when the smoke of battle had cleared away, the winners of the tro- phy in 1004-5 were again the winners in 1905-0, having won the round by a score of 12-5. NOTES. Mclvor will :always be welcomed back to referee. The largest crowd that has ever packed into Wingham rink. Gate re- ceipts -$102. Harriston boys played good hockey but were played off their fent end were beaten worse on good hard ire than in the sloppy going in the last local game. Dug. Wilson and Ivan Johnston are easily the best in the League, and what they cannot stop, Moore seems to handle nicely. Ou the forward line every player starred and the vim dis- played was a pleasure to see. McLean played stronger than usual, and Elliott and Fleming had combination galore, while Galloway as rover played the best game he has played this season acid was the King pin on which the forward line worked. Died Suddenly. Herbert C. Birge, son of Cyrus A. Birge, of the Canada Screw Company, (brother -in -late of ex -Mayor Vanstone of Wingham) died suddenly at St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamilton, at an early hour Monday morning. He was taken ill only on Sunday afternoon With heart trouble, The deceased was 32 years of age. Junior Hockey Game. The Junior Hockey team went over to Lncknow on Tuesday evening and crossed sticks with the team of that town. At half time the score stood 0-4 in favor of the Wingiiatn lads, and when time was up our boys had added one more to the score, making the total 7-1. The game wits fast and clean, the ice being in good condition. Ivan Johnston refereed the gatne. Winghanl line -tip :-D. McGillivray, L. Duggan, S. McGillivray, 1+. Cody, L. Fleming, It.

Will Manage A Jewellery Store. The Bruce Times, published in Walkerton, says :-"Frank IIeppen- stall, who for the past two and half years has been connected with the jewellery store of Mr. A. B. Kinser, here, has gone to Wingham, where 11e assumes the managership of a jewel- lery. store to be opened np there by Mr. A. B. Kaiser. This is another of the Giants baseball players that will be missed on the line-up this year. Frank was popular with the young people in town, and all will join in wishing him every success in the new enterprise." Spring Millinery. The milliners of town have decided to avoid the worry, excitement and expense of formal "spring openings." They have however decided on the 27th inst, as the date when their stocks will bo ready for inspection, and hence invite the ladies of Wing - ham and vicinity to call on, or after that date, and they promise to offer attractive hats, trimmings, etc., in the leading styles for spring wear. Miss Little will have a handsome ar- ray, y, in the shop next to the past - office. Miss Boyd will show an at- tractive stock, in the old stand, and is assisted again this season by Miss Sisterson. Miss Macpherson has for assistant, Miss Campbell of Hamilton, and is preparing a pretty display. The adv t's. of these ladies will be found on page 8. Mrs, Green is also preparing for the same date ; her milli- ner here is Miss Borland of Petrolea. Mrs. Green opened her Gerrie shop on Wednesday with Miss Merlin of Park- hill in charge, Ladies of Wingham should not forget the date by which these displays will be ready for inspec- tion -the 27th.

The quarterly board of Gerrard Street Methodist Church, Toronto, on Saturday unanimously invited Rev. Richard Hobbs, of Strnthroy, to become pastor of that church next year,beginning July1st. Rey M. L.eason, whose pastorate of four years in Berkeley Street Methodist Church expires in June, has been in- vited to the pastorate of tbe Strath - toy church. He is considering the in- vitation. As Strathroy is in London conference, tbe above two invitations ' will conte before the Transfer commit- tee. The new Methodist church oil North street, Godericii, was opened on Sun- day last. The speakers were -Dr. Carman, General Superintendent, and Rev. Jos, Philp, D. D., President of the London Conference. Services were held morning, afternoon and evening, and were attended by large congregations. Victoria St. Church was closed for the occasion, and the evening service in Knox Church was • withdrawn. Mr. Philp addressed the afternioon service in North Street Church. Dr. Carman well in charge of the dedicatory services throughout, and preached in the morning. The new church cost $19,000, In the minute books of the Euclid Avenne Methodist Church, Toronto, a rule has been inserted which states that at lin time, and under leo circum- stances, is an admission fee to be charged for entrance to the church. Concerts and entertainments may bo held there if the congregation wish, but the people have decided that the church mustnotbe used as a concert hall, at any rate not for looney mak- ing purposes. Another departure from the orduzary custom is the fact that the floors are never closed in day time, excepting for a short time at the noon hour, and any one is at lib- erty to gn into the church or Blass roonis and read or test at any time during the day. The young people of the church take a great interest in keeping the chetah, and particularly - their own elaassa-rootns, clean nand ire, viting.

Snake In Stomach, The Mitchell Advocate reports the following :•-For some months a daughter of Wtn. Kletnan of Mitchell, bas not been in good health and imagined that there was something alive in her stomach. At tithes she could feel it Drawling up her throat and would have to take food to send it back. The sensation was anything but pleasant, but relief carne ono day last week when the young lady was visiting in the country and, drinking a glass of cream which did not agree with her, took a fit of coughing and up tante a milk snake measuring 14 inches in length, and still alive, Judging from the size of the reptile it must have been in the victim's stoznach about two years, and no doubt was swallowed while (l 'inking front a pool of water. Wireless Typewriters. Here is another great invention that marks the onward progress of the 20th century. Elmer A. Burlingame, of La Porte, Ind., bas invented a de- vice by which he can transmit a mes- sage, with or without the use of tele- graph wires, from one keyboard, such as that of a linotype machine or a typewriter, to another corresponding set of keys at a distance, and the mes- sage will be mechanically received and recorded exactly as transmitted, in- cluding capitals, punctuation and spelling. A human hand is required to start the message on its flight through space, but none is necessary to receive it, for the receiving ma- chine, whether it be a linotype or a typewriter, is controlled as perfectly by the sender as though he were pre- sent at its side. One person at the receiving end can attend a number of machines, and in this manner another important saving can be effected. Any one who can manipulate a type- writer can transmit a message. A. large and elegant stock of trim- med and untrimmed millinery will be ready for inspection on the 27th. We invite the ladies of Wingham and vicinity to view our display -Mits. GRxRv. An Awful Death. Geo. Tallin of London, a brother of Mrs. Wm. Bolt of Wingham, met with death most unexpectedly on the 13th inst. in the G. T. R. yards, Lon- don, where he worked daily. He lied been engaged shovelling cinders, and started to do some work in another part of the yard and stepped on to one of the tracks, when he was struck by an engine that was slowly backing down. He at once grasped the foot- board of the yard engine, on which the switchmen stand, hoping to hold on to it until he could be rescued. In this way he was dragged along until the crossing was reached. Here, he caste in contact with the planks be- tween the rails ; he was torn flout the footboard and went under the wheels and was crushed to death. When the engine stopped, the men who had been working with hint a few mo- ments before, found their comrade's body, a mangled and bleeding sight. His heart had been forced from the body and lay beside the track, and the head severed from the body. The re- mains were removed, the coroner sunl- it -lofted, 111111 in a few minutes, trains passed, whistles blew and work went forward on the great railway as if nothing had happened. Mr. and Airs. Bolt were terribly shocked at the news of the sad death of their relative. Deceased was 55 years of age, and leaves a widow and grown-up faaintly. Death Of Jas. McAlpine. The following from the Hepworth Journal refers to the death of a form- er citizen of Wingham :-"lir. James McAlpine departed this life on March 13th, and as sorrowing family mourn the loss of a beloved husband and father. We can say of him that he had many friends and few enemies, for his kind and genial manner won the respect and confidence of all who came within Itis notice, He was born in Mauehline, Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1831. and in 1809 caste to Canada, set- tling first in ICincardine where he re- sided for a number of years. He has spent most of his life in Canada in Huron and Bruce counties with the exception of a short time in Toronto, living in Kincardine, Wingham and Whitton. From Wiarton he came to Hepworth, and engaged in the furni- ture business till about a year before his death. Mr. McAipine has always been one of the leading Wren of the village, and has ever associated him- self ivith anything that tendered to its advancement. He was a staunch inentbee anal supporter of the Presby- terian Church and in polities leaned to the Liberal side. He leaves a family of three sons and two daughters, Will. of Toledo, ltnbt, of alt. Marys, John of Butler, ; ml Aggie and Mrs. I3usehlen at hone. The cause of his death was tuberculosis, and although Ile had for some time: endated great suffering, yet he endured it with Christian forti- tntle, until heath relieved him of Itis snffet•iitg on Tuesday afternoon."

About one o'elock ou Tuesday morn- ing, a disastrous explosion occurred at the G. T. R. station, The building is heated by steam, the apparatus being located in the baggage room, From some cause, early on 'Tuesday morn- ing, the boiler exploded, completely wrecking the baggage room and in- juring to some extent the new station. Tho building was only recently finish- ed, and as the first beating apparatus was not satisfactory, a second was installed. The baggage room was a blackened ruin on Tuesday morning ; part of the brick wail was blown out, ,all the windows demolished and doors blown off. Part of the boiler seems to have gone through the ceiling and a hole in the roof shows that it found its way outside, The east wall of the new station forming the partition be- tween the waiting room and the bag- gage room, is badly damaged, and the glass, driven by the force of the ex- plosion, defaced the handsome new seats. Three windows in the station were blown out, and the Roatinnaster's office is also baldly damaged. The ac- cident is indeed regrettable, .as Wing - ham was proud of its new station, and the travelling public appreciated its handsome appearance and convenient arrangement, Fortunately, fire did not follow the explosion, and the pub- lic will not be seriously inconveni- enced, except that baggage facilities will be disturbed until repairs can be made. Had the explosion occurred in the daytime, some person or persons might havo been seriously injured. To RENT. --Rooms over Griffin's store, by the month or year. Apply to C. N.
