A sad accident occurred in Owen Sound on Monday Last, that resulted in the death of Mrs, Burgess, wife of the Inspector of Schools for North Grey, The deceased lady was a sister of Mr. Geo. King of Wingham. On Monday, she was out driving with her son, a boy of about 14, when the con- nection between the shafts and the cutter partly gave way ; the horse became unmanageable and Mrs. Bur- gess was thrown out. In falling, her head came in contact with an iron lamp post on the corner of the street, and instant death resulted. The sad accident caused a gloom to rest upon the citizens of the town, where Mrs. Burgess was so well known and highly respected. Mr; King left on Wednes- day.to attend the funeral.

Some strange things come to light in horse trading, but the following is a case where a ratan sold a horse for $75 and by .trading, got him back for $6. Judge Colter held division Court at Rodney the other day, when this in- teresting case, Lusty vs. Lamont, was tried before at jury. The defendant sold plaintiff a horse for $75, then purchased another for $15; he then traded this one with plaintiff for his old horse, receiving $9 to boot, so that he got $75 in cash, and his horse hacku for $0. The case occupied all day, and at 11 p.m., the jury returned averdict that it was just a horse trade and plaintiff must abide by what ho had done. Fire On Victoria Street. About one o'clock on Sunday morn- ing. as Mr, Bradwin was returning from the electric light works, he dis- covered a blaze in Estes' machine shop on Victoria street. He at, once rang the alarm. The firemen were soon on the scene and in a short time had the fire out. It appears that the floor had taken fire in front of the boiler. A hole several feet square ivas burned and some of the sleepers were badly charred. A few minutes later the building would have been ruined and the boiler fallen through the floor. Many of our citizens never heard the alarm. Mr. Estes has been in posses- sion but a few days, and it was a nar- row escape from serions loss, Deceased At Age Of 92.

The hockey match played in Clinton on Friday last between the girls' hockey club of Wingham and that of Clinton was one of the most interest- ing and keenly contested games of the season, and was certainly the most unique, as both teams were composed of ladies.

As placed in the rititet P many citizens have been anxious to know just low the Electric Light de- partment of the town has paid, and how Municipal Ownership has result- ed in Wingham, we refer to the re- port now, When it is printed, every ratepayer should study it for himself. The auditors in estimating the assets and liabilities trade allowance -for de- terioration of plant by not counting as an additional asset, the repairs re- quired to keep the plant up to the condition it was in when purchased. The new boiler and extensions of the line were properly regarded as assets. The amount paid by light -takers on flat rates was $2370.11; on metres, $3364.24: total—$5740.35. Total re- ceipts (including sale of purchase de- bentures) $48,009.71 ; , total expendi- ture, $48,042.70; balance on hand, $20.02 ; total assets of Electric Light Dept., $31,578.40; total liabilities, $30,- 524.70 ; 30,-524.70; profit for 131 months—$1053.= 01. To this inust be added $1050 of discount on sale of debentures which had to be made up out of the receipts, so that the total profit in the 131 months amounted to $2103.01. This should he very assuring and satisfac- tory to the ratepayers, The report allows also, expenditure on Schools, $4475,08 ; on Public Library, $573.57. The total receipts of the town for 1004 were $00,008.Z3; total expenditure, $85,758.15 ; balanee on ]rand, $5,150.08. The report, when in print will be of interest to those concerned in the town's welfare. The auditors went into leo accounts in a careful cal l.x itot t f a, heustive manner and guarantee their atenracy. We omitted to mention that the amount to the credit of the town in Sinking 1?und amounts to $14,x,11;, On March ]7th, On the evening of St, Patrick's day, the Westminster Guild of Wingham Presbyterian Church will give a Sup- per and Entertainment in the town hall. After supper in the Council Chamber, a National program will be rendered in the Opera Hall. A Runaway. A wild runaway occurred on Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. John Camp- bell were driving up Josephine street, and were passing Mr. Kruse's, when the Salvation Army turned on to the front street from Patrick street. The horse frighted and shied. Seeing the clanger, Mrs. Campbell reached for the lines, but only got hold of one. This 'prevented Mr, Campbell from control- ling the horse, which ran on to the sidewalk. Both occupants of the cut- ter were thrown out, and the horse made its escape, but was caught unin- jtired near the brickyard in Turnberry. Mr. Campbell had one wrist. sprained and was shaken up considerably. Mrs.. Campbell fared worse and received several severe bruises. She was car- ried into Mr. Roderus' and Dr. Chis- holm summoned. After a few hours she was able to be taken home.' Two panes of glass in Mr. Roden's' front window were broken. The horse was merely scratched, and the cutter was very little the worse for the accident. Presbytery Meeting. The Presbytery of Maitland met in the Presbyterian church, Wingham, on Tuesday, March 7th, and was duly constituted by the Moderator, Rev. J. J. Hastie of Belgrave. Messrs.

A very serious mistake on Friday morning nearly caused the death of Mrs. Thomas Halleran of town. She had at severe cold, and when she rose in the morning she went to take Some medicine for her cough, but unfortu- nately took a dose of very powerful liniment instead of the cough medi- cine. Injurious effects immediately followed, and as quickly as possible Dr. Kennedy was summoned and later Dr. Redmond was called to assist. After some time and labor, the danger point was passed, and Mrs. Halleran is recovering from what might have proved it fatal mistake had help not been immediately available. The lini- ment contained an ingredient that was deadly poison. The other ingredi- euts, however, somewhat reduced its injurious power, but even in what was swallowed there was sufficient per- haps to have proved fatal, had it not been promptly removed by the stom- ach pump. We aro pleased to hear Mrs. Halleran is recovering nicely.
