main on ]Pz'),Lnces street; referred. to
Waterworks committee, on motion of
Hanna and Nicholson ; this to cover
all sin111ar requests.
The committee reported on an all-
night electric light service, that as the
extra expenditure would amount to
over $1,000, and the revenue probably
,be very small, the committee could
not see its way clear at present to re-
commend the change, especially as
improvements already undertaken had
cost $4,000.

all-night electric light service..

nett—That the report of the commit-
tee on all-uight electrio light service

proposition of
Mr. Dore, asking for a loan of $5,000
and fixed assessment, to assist him in
enlarging his carriage factory, putting
in an up-to-date plant, so that he
eeee might employ 25 men. The Board of
Trade was heartily in sympathy with
the proposal of Mr. Dore, as at present
he was unable to fill the orders receiv-
ed. Mr. Dore also outlined his inten-
tions. He proposed to erect a building
70 x 00, three storeys high, Costing
about $5,000, and add machinery cost-
ing two or three thousand dollars fur-
ther. The Mayor, Couns, Hanna and

Death Of A Son.
Mr. and Mrs. Watson of Minnie
street received the sad news last week
of the death of their son Victor, at
Newburg, New York State.. Very
few particulars were received at the
time, except that he hod boon killed
by a train. Victor was a bright
young man about 18 years of age; for
some tine hotel clerk rtt the Ex-
change hotel.. On receipt of the sad
news, Dr, H. E. W. Tainlyn left for
Newburg, to bring the remains of the
young man to Wingham for burial.
Barns Burped.
On Tuesday morning. the barn of
Mr. T. M. Henderson, Biuevale road,
was destroyed by fire. It appears
that Mr, Henderson had been working
in the barn at an early hour that
morning, and hung the lantern on a
peg. By some means, the lantern fell
and the place caught fire. The flame
was quenched, it was thought, but
sometime after the building was dis-
covered to he in a blaze, and was soon
totally destroyed, with nearly all the
contents. To lose a barn is a heavy
loss ; especialIy as winter is approach-
ing, when shelter and food for stock
are required, Early Tuesday morning
Thos. E. Walker's barn in Oldness was
burned, but no particulars are to
hand. •
Many Exceptions.
Have you heard it said that minis-
ters' sons turn out badly? Here is
something which seemss to prove the contrary. A noted French scientist
has studied this subject, and he has a
long list of names to prove that the
sons of ministers make up the larger
number of the world's great men.
Here, for instance, are some of the
names :--A nssiz, Hallam, Jonathan,
Edwards, Whately, the Wesleys,
Beechers and Spurgeons, Cowper,
Coleridge, Tennyson, Lowell, Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Emerson, Charles
Kingsley, Mathew Arnold, Dean Stan-
ley, Macaulay, Thackeray, Sir Chris-
topher Wren, Sir Joshua Reynolds,
Swift, Sterne, Hazlitt, Presidents
Cleveland and Arthur, Peter Stuyve-
sant, Morse, the inventor, Lord Cur -
Son, Viceroy of India, Sir Evelyn
Wood, and many others in high
places.

The Cement Flume.
Some ratepayers of town have .in-
dulged in considerable criticism of the
Council and also of W. H. Green re-
garding the flume, because the latter
was not plastered on the inside as was
outlined by the specifications. It is
true, this was not done, but in build-
ing the flume, it was found necessary
to build a strong pier between the riv-
er and the flume, to prevent the wash
from the river, and also to strengthen
the flume at a point where the pres-
sure was heavy. Mr. Green disclaims
all desire to shirk any part of his
work, but he claims that the pier was
of first hnpoh•tance, and as a mat-
ter of fact, it cost him itt least one
half more, than the plastering would
have. It is generally admitted that
the pier was a necessity ; this being
the case, Mr, Green should not have
to build it at a cost of over $100 at his
own expense. The Council will view
the work, and we think they may be
trusted to see that the work is well
done. The main question is—Did the
town get value for its money? We
think that an unprejudiced observer
must say "Yes." The matter will he
dealt with after a careful examina-
tion. If necessary, Mr. Green is will-
ing yet to plaster the flume; should
he do so, he should in all justice be
paid for the pier.
The Weather.
Rev. Irl. Hicks predicts that by
November 0th, storm conditions will
have increased, so that general
cloudiness and vain will be til pro-
gress in western sections, and during
the 10th, lith and 12th, rain, turning
to sleet and snow on the western
flanks of storm areas, will progress to
the east across the country, This is
another period which_ promises to be
prolonged into a spell of unsettled,
if not continued rainy, snowy stormy
weather. The Moon is • on celestial
equator on the 13th, the central day
of the Mercury equinox, hence a sea -
den rise in temperature, with possible
Iightning and thunder in the south,
with atxtutnutti fain and sleet will be
most likely on that date. Altogether'
this period promises much disagree-
able and stormy weather, especially
on the lakes and the Atlantic Ocean,
Otto of the most severe disturbances
of the Inottth will celminate within
forty-eight hnlns of noon on the ltltih,
The barometer will drop to one of its
lowest readings for the month, thick
cloudiness and great humidity will
prevell, and general storms of
autnnnlat rain, turning to destructive
sleet, and later into blizzardous straw
and northwest gales may he expected,
covering the nortliwest and extending
into the eentrat sections. If naviga-
tion is still open on the Great Lakes, it
greatly concerns owners :find masters
of vessels o11 those tvatets to watch
and heed all stolen indications at this
time.

Wingham Rector Mentioned.
The mine of Rev. T, S. Boyle, ALA.,
B,D., Rector of St, Paul's Church, has

the vacancy in Trinity Church, St.

Canon Richardson. The parish is an

sistance of a Curate. Wih more
than one parish with its eyes on the

though there was a probability of his
removal.

Among Our Exchanges.
The Lucknow Sentinel has changed
hands, and Mr. McGregor, formerly
editor of the Thamesford Star is the
new proprietor. Mr. McGregor is
well-known in Wingham, being a son
of the hlfie D. McGregor. We expect
to see an improvement in the Sentinel
before long, and wish the new editor
very much prosperity. Last, week,
the Fordwich Record entered its
eleventh year. It is a bright, clean
newsy paper that deserves success,
it has much improved under the care
of Mx'. Watters, the present proprie-
tor, The Ridgetown Dominion has
entered its twelfth year, and fills the
bill for an excellent local paper. Its
proprietor is Mr. P. H. Bowyer, M. L.
A., who is not only a good newspaper
man, but a useful member of Ontario
Legislature.
Oohe To China.
On Wednesday rnorning, Miss Caro-
line, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. %Vni.
Wellwood of town, left home and
friends to commence her journey to
the mission fields of China, as repre-
sentative of the W. Ie. M. Society of
the Methodist Church. Two weeks

wood's course of preparation for the
work to which she has devoted her
life. After visiting her brother for a
few days, the will leave Vancouver
for the Orient, in company with about
twenty other missionaries of the
Methodist Church. Tho journey is a
long one, and it will probably be the
1st of March before Miss Wellwood
reaches the scene of her future work.
The citizens of Wingham wish her it
safe voyage, then a pleasant overland
journey, itnd touch success in mission
work. The company is probably the
largest that has ever left Canada on
missionary work, and includes many
very bright {and highly educated mis-
sionaries.

to erect a large building, probably
about the sire of the Union factory,
for the mitnttfacture of vehicles. Sev-
eral others were reedy to go into the
