Not the hair, but the Nazanite consecra-

of his strength with the growth of his

repented, and renewed voluntarily the
vows of devotement which bed been im-
posed upon him before hie birth, and
which he had so miserably broken."-

the eructed boor the old-time divine in-

• '
St. Catharines,. Nov. 21 -One of the
saddest accidents in connection with
Lekc Ontario navigation for the season
of 1007 occurresj about ten miles down
the lake from Pore Dalhousie last night,
when the tug Escort was sunk by collid-
ing with the barge Iiarrieon end three
livee were loot.
Early in the afternoon word was re-
ceived in, port than the steamer West -
mount, Captain Milligan, Isa,d left
Kingston with the barge Harrison in
tow. All season there isas been keen
rivalry between the Welland, Canal tugs,
and about 7.30 o'clock the tugs Escort,
Captain Harry Dunlop, and Golden City,
Captain MeCoppen, set out in it race to-
wards Niagara, with a view to landing
the prize, the gerrison, which was ex-
pected to be about the last tow of the
season. The rece was close for several
miles, but as the Weetmount with the
harp in tow, was seen the Golden City
took a slight lead ors Use Escort, and
was the fiat to improach the barge.
She made a circle arld came up beside
the vessel, which was moving at at rate
of ten miles an hour,
and the Golden
City could no more tliart keep up with
her.
Fouled the Tow -Line,
The Escort did not tneke the usual
circle, but crossed over tho comb of the
Coldest City, with the evident intention
of swinging around on the bow of the
Ha,rrison. Whatever Captain Dunlop in-
tended, he evidently miscalculated the
spec,u of the barge. The tug struck the
mighty steel tow line, which carried off
the top of the pilot -house and checked
her speed. In an instant the Harrison
etreek the tug amidships, turned her
over, and within it few seconds the
staunch little tug went to the bottom.
"The accident no sooner happened than
the Westmount slack -meed speed and the
crew of the Golden city peeprineil to ren-
der aid. Life lines *pre gnichly. etiliaed,
ani three persons were rescued. They
were Mrs. Bartlett, cook, Dunnville.'a
boy named Herman Cook, and Melein
Barnes, fireman, Port Colboyee. Ceptain
Dunlop, his brother ARICA, who wen en-
gineer, and- Charles Chresteettse canal
helper, who liail envie the trip with the
captain, were never seem and their
bodies aro believed to be imprisoned in
the sunken tug.
After a diligent but fruitless search'
for the bodies or wreckage the West -
mount continued oa to port, and was
followed by the tug Golden City, with
the Harrison in tow. All went up the
canal early this morning.
What the Spectators Saw.
Captain MeCoppen explains the race
for the Harrisoe, end stye thet the
Golden City reached her Vest, bat no
lino was thrown out, and the fug con-
tinued alongside of the vessel. The
Escort whietled for the Westmbunt to
let go of the tow line, and he heard
someone call for the line. The Escort
then struck the cable, which lifted off
the pilot house. Be then heard "jing-
lers"to go ahead, and in an instant the
Harrison struck the tug, and he saw her
lights go out, and she at once wr- '; to
the bottone
Barnes, the fireman, said he was
standing outside the (leer of the engine
room and saiv that' the tug' was in dan-
ger, and shouted to the`e5girfehr 'tg `i•e-
verse. Just as he (lid qg he liSasd a

He jumped for the bow line of the gar -
tenon, but missed it, and fell into the
water. Twice he came up and struck
tomething, which he believes to have
been the Harrison. He was then thrown
a line, which he caught hold of, and was
taken on board the Golden City. He
claims to have seen Captain Dunlop in
the water close to him.

et
81:01114tision:spseeocitiotiny
wasu theroughly explained by Hon.
Minister and those present to de-
termine how the act should be modi-
fied so that it might not be irk-
some to producers and others.
Chairman J. G. Kerr 'stated a,t the
commencement that the matter was
non-political.
After brief speeches by Mears. D.
A. Gordon, M.P., East Kent,- peed A
3. McCoig, Mr. Vtr.ther' 'Wee intro-
duced bY MT: Neff afi Man who had
done maell for the agrioulturalists of
Canada, Mr, Fisher in brief indi-
cated the necessity for the regulation.
The Chicago exposures had arisen
because there was no law applicable
to the packing of meats for local
trade as was the Federal law for ex -
years ago United States hogs had
been shut out of Germany. The ex-
posures led to suspicion OD the part
of the foreign buyers, and while this
especially affected United States pro-
ducts, it served to affect sales of
Canadian products abroad also. Since
the Chicago exposure the United
had it moet -kvege hemilatien law.
The Qeriadtan saw, which was com-
plained et In Kent and Essex, was ap-
plicable to all Canada, yet from no-
where else was heard a complaint.
That was the reason, and because
Kent was such a large producer of
hogs, that he had taken a run down
to address the farmers and determine
how the regulations might be modi-
fied to eliminate the irksomeness
without affecting the stability of Can-
edian trade abroad, whit% would un-
doubtedly parish if a guarentiee
could not be given to the foreign buy-
ers that our products were the best
pohirle. The .matter was stronglet
cal d fo Ms' attention by a declara-
tion some time ago by the M. H. 0.
of London, England, that if Canada
could not give assurance that its pro-
duces were eigtia,l' to requirements Can-
ada would be debarred from the mar-
ket This was the beginning of the
present law, as it was felt that it
was virtually. necessary to maintain
the foreign market for Canadian pro-
ducts. He indicated that the regu-
lations complained of applied to for-
eign and interprovincial trade only,
not to the local trade. This last was
under the jurisdietton the munici-
nal eutheellies tfitough the Provin
eial law. etoes for hogs had been
on the average better during the
east few years than ever before, and
title was owing to the standing of
Canada in the foreign markets. That
etanding should be protected, as was
being done by regulations.
On the Minister asking for sugges-
tions, a reply was made by a farmer
in the audience -that the inspection,
to nitioh he nail no objection, should
be made nearer home, at the place
of shipment. Another suggested in-
spection at the wagon. He thought
the inspector could nOtify the farmers
where ho would be 24 hours ahead,
and go from place to place. Another
thought there were too many stations
for shipment in Kent for this to work
satisfactorily,
Mr. Fisher thought therq might be
difficulty because Of the number of
insreetors required for this. It was
urged that shipments were, inespected
during the hog cholera outbreak. The
local inspection aimed at by the sug-
gestors was to prevent the organs,
which according to kV; must be left
'n dressed hogs, spoiling or damag-
ing the hogg he( decay,mg, Farmers
wish to 'till, if neeesary or thought
hest, for the local market, and have

the organs, which must be DA in
