Foundry Co. Amicably Settled.
A special meeting of the Town
Council was held on Wednesday even,
ing to consider the matter of settle.
hnent, with the Western Foundry Co,
Members all present except Conns,
Hanna and Nicholson.
Dr. Allan, of Toronto, President of
the Co., addressed the Council, review.
lug the matter from the purchase in
1001 until the present. The Co. had
offers from many towns of bonus, ex-
emptions and other privileges, if they
would remove their plant. However,
they preferred to remain in Wingham
if the Town would Ileal fairly with
them. The Western Foundry Co, was
the only Stove ulanufacttn•ing estab-
lishment outside of the combine, hence
it was in the public interest to encour-
age them. He claittred that the 'Town
had not carried out the agreement
made with the Co., while the latter in
gond faith bad gond on in the erection
of buildings, etc., expending nearly
$0,000. The Company had carried out
their part of the agreement of 1901,
bat the Town had not carried out
their part, and had not conveyed the
property to the Co, within sixty days.
Mr, Irving, of Toronto, representing
Toronto shareholders, also spoke
briefly.
The Mayor then invited citizens pre-
sent to express their views, and a
number of them diel so.
Dr, Allan said the Co. would surren-
der the buildings to the Town within
one month, if the Council would pay
theta the amount expended hi new
buildings.
Coun. D. E. McDonald admitted
that the Company had a moral claim
regarding the agreement of 1903, but
that the present Connell had no power
to carry out that agreement.
Ex -Mayor Vanstone remarked that
although the agreement for purchase
had been signed, it hacl never been
consummated, as the Town haus not
conve • ttohe
ed lie )1 operty the Co.Go.
3 i p Y
Company had carried out their part of
that agreement, but the Town bad not
performed its part, and conveyed the
property to the Western Foundry Co.
Coun. Bennett suggested the ap-
pointment of a Committee of citizens
to confer with the Council and the
Western Foundry Co., and moved—
That Dr. Macdonald, Dr. Irwin, A.
Dunnage, W. F. VanStone, C. N.
Griffin and R. Vanstone be that Com-
mittee. This was seconded by Conn.
D. Bell and carried.
The Council and Committee then
met, with Mayor Bell in the chair and
T. Hall as Secretary. Dr. Allan repee-
sented the Western Foundry Co.
A number of plans were proposed to
unravel the tangle, and discussion
continued until a late hour.
After a Iengthy discussion, daring
which very Iittle progress was made,
two motions were submitted.
Moved by Dr. Macdonald, seconded
by Cotm, McDonald --That the agree-
ment of 1003 be submitted to the peo-
ple for their approval.
Moved in amendment by C. N. Grif-
fin, seconded by A. Dulmage—That
the Council of 1900 carry out the
agreement made in 1003 with the
Western Foundry Co„ without sub-
mitting it to the people, provided the
Company pay up all arrears, and de-
fend any action brought against the
Council in the matter.
Yeas—S. Bennett, 0. N. Griffin, W.
F. VanStone, Dt•. Irwin, R. Vanstone,
A, Dulmage. Nays—Dr. Macdonald,
D. E. McDonald, T. Forbes, D. Bell,
The' 'amendment was declared car-
ried, and the committee rose.
The Council then resumed business.
Coun. Bennett moved, seconded by
Coun. D, Bell—That this Couticil ratify
the proceedings of the Committee that
has just risen, re the Western Foun-
dry matter.
Yeas--Couns. Bennett, Forbes, D.
Bell. Nay—Coun. 11IcI)onald.
The Council then adjourned.
Y`RIDAY 117vENrtio.
A. speeiatl meeting of the Town
Council was called on Friday evening
to
discuss the matter of settlement
with the Western Foundry Co. and
aa+, ratify what was done at the last pre-
vious meeting ; members all present.
The proceedings of Wednesdayes
da
even-
ing
meeting were reviewed.
The meeting was, for a while, a sort
of "free and easy," members of Conn-
ell and visiting citizens expressing
their opinions freely, Once or twice,
dark clouds, presaging a storm, ap-
peared. ou the horizon, but these pass-
ed by, and the dove of peaco again
hovered over the seone.
Conn. Nicholson moved, Const. Me.
Donald seconded—That the matter of
agreement of 1003 with the Western
Foundry Co. be submitted to the peo-
ple, provided the Poundry Co, is
willing.
The Clerk pro. tom. pointed out
that, if the Western r'oundry Co. was
not willing, the motion really meant
nothing at all. With this opinion the
Council agreed.
It was then moved by Coun. Den.
nett, seconded by (loon. Forbes—That
we ratify the action of the Connell on
Wednesday evening last, provided the
Western Foundry Co. give personal
bonds to defend any .suit brought
against the Council its this matters

Oh. "Rats."
Of all places, one would least expect
rats in the Grand Trunk Station, of
London, Ontario. It is however re-
ported, that while waiting for a train
in the Grand Trunk station waiting -
room there on Saturday night, a
woman was attacked by a rat. The
rodent sprang on her lap, and when
sho attempted to knock it off, rho
animal seized her by the lower Hp,
and could not apparently free itself.
In its struggles the rodent tore the
bosom of tine woman's dress to shreds.
A. bystander seized the rat, choking it
until it let go. The woman's lip was
badly torn.
You Are Mistaken.
The Kincardine Reporter says :—
Wingham has a brand new sta-
tion, It certainly is a creditable
one. However the G. T. R. of-
ficials must have had a doubt as
to the intelligence of the in-
habitants of that burg, for on the
door is f)aint.ed the word "en-
trance." It is just possible that the
inhabitants would have gone in
through the windows if the
"entrance" had not been narked.
Not at all, Bro. Hunter ; yon are mis-
taken. The word "Entrance" was not
put there because of any lack of intel-
ligence
ntel-
e
h .neeontl part It our 1
of citizens, n but
as a safe-gnard for weary wanderers
from Kincardine, who (as they seldom
go far from home) alight not know
how to get into the new station. Or,
they might hate mistaken one of our
coal sheds for the ticket office, as the
said sheds resemble somewhat the
weather-beaten structure that is used
in Kincardine for a station.
Children's Aid Society.
This philanthropic Society of Huron
county has been doing good work,
and has rescued many children from
homes of want and evil environment.
Its object is to protect children from
cruelty, to care for orphans, neglected
or abandoned little ones, and so far as
possible to provide them with suitable
homes. It was organized in 1807 and
has since cared for and assisted
twenty-five children. The officers
are :—President—Jus. Mitchell ; Vice-
Pres,—R. S. Williams ; Sec. -Treasurer
—A. B. Thom, all of Goderich. The
aims of the Society are commendable,
and contributions to aid it in its
charitable work will be thankfully re-
ceived. Cases of ill-treated or neglect-
ed children should be brought to
the notice of the President, Mr. Mit-
chell, editor of the Star, Goderich.
Just now this Society has requests to
find homes for two infants—one about
six weeks and the other a bright little
boy of ten months. Any one willing
to take Dither will please communicate
with the President, addressing as
above.

April Forecasts.
Rev. Iii. Hick's forecasts April wea-
ther as follows :—Tho partial effects of
the earth's spring equinox will be felt,
in diminishing force, until after the
central storm period its April. Dar-
ing the 4th, 5th and 6111, wide areas of
cloudiness and rain will pass east-
w•ardly across the country, breaking
into severe squalls, thunder -gust and
hail in various localities. A reaction -
mar storm period is central on the 9th,
10th and lith. Several •facts blending
with the Mercury and the Vernal
equinoxes, will conspire to bring on
very high temperature, low barometer
and forceful storms, beginning on aud
next to the Oth in western sections,
and passing eastwardly across the
country from about Monday, the 0th,
to Thursday, the 12th, Change to
decidedly cooler weather will follow
for several days, causing frost in
many sections during the nights rang-
ing
ing between the llth to 15th. Hail
storms will be most natural results,
with violent local gnats, during ttie
passage of these 1 April clouds,
e Ap thunder
A regular storm period extends from
the lath to the 10th, having its centre
on Monday, the 10th. As we enter
this period a rapid change to notch
wanner will take place, and more
storms of main and thunder will touch
many parts during the eastward
match of sterni aces, from Monday,
the 10th, in the west, to `Chm.sday, the
loth, in the cast. Look for decided
frosts in central to neetliern sections,
from about the 18th to 21'it. A re-
actionary storm is central on the 22u0,
20rd and 2lth. A series of threaten-
ing to violent thunder storms will be
quite nature! for three to five days the
21st, to Wednesday, the 25th. A re-
gular storm period extends from the
20tH to 30th, having Its centre on the
27th. Heavy Iain and hall in many
localities, may be expected, passing
ealsiwardiy over the country from Fri-
day, the 27th, to Monday, the SOth.

If yon have an idle moment, employ
it by saying a gond word for your
town. It will cost you nothing and
will sound a lot better than wield jam-
ming the vicinity in which you live,
and listeners will believe you quicker
and mark you as a progressive in-
dividual, instead of branding you as
one of tihe missing links just escaped
from Noah's ark. A aunt who be-
littles his town should be ashamed of
himself and take to the woods, where,
nnniolesteti, he can hate himself into
an unknown grave.
