Death of Conductor ruiners.
There died at the family residence
of Mr. Wm. Howard on Monday last, G.
T. R. conductor Case Miners, of Sarnia.
The circumstances connected with his
death are extremely sad and his wife
and family are almost prostrate with
grief. Deceased had not been enjoying
the best of health for some time and
consequently applied for a leave of ab-
sence. This was granted him and he
immediately came up here to better his
condition. The change was an appar-
ent beneficial one and he seemed to re-
gain considerably, until a few days
previous to his death, when he took a
sudden change for the worse and it
was then the gravity of his situation
was unmistakable. His case was one
of a very peculiar type and one which
baffled the skill of all the physicians
who attended him. He was in the ser-
vice of the G. T. R. for 33 years and
was one of the most popular conductors
on the road. He was employed on the
Lehigh express and many patrons of
the G T. R. will miss his genial face.
He was a former resident of Usborne
where two of his brothers now reside.
He leaves to mourn his demise a wife
and five children. The funeral took
place yesterday (Wednesday) for the
Elimville cemetery and was largely
attended.
The many friends here of Mr. Rich.
Eacrett, of Brantford, will be pleased
to learn that he is recovering from his
recent severe attack of blood poisoning.
A few weeks ago while opening a can
of paint he accidentally received a
slight cut from the can. Little or no
attention was paid to the apparent trif-
ling wound until it began to threaten
a serious aspect, it having turned to
blood poisoning and for several days
his life was in danger. However, he is
now much better and apparently out
of danger.
A correspondent of the Clinton New
Era says: A certain party said to me
the other day, "Well, how do you like
my new suit? I sent down to Eaton's
for it, and it only cost me $5,35." Since
then I have seen the very identical
kind of suit marked $5, in three of our
merchants' windows; so in that case
our friend was the loser, clearly demon-
strating that, as a rule, we can do every
bit as well at home as abroad, and in
nine cases out of ten, better, at the same
time feeling that by spending the mon•
ey in our own town we are helping our
own merchants, and indirectly helping
ourselves. If Mr. Eaton did not get a
good profit, he would not have big
farms and palatial buildings, would he,•
now?

Died oflockjaw.
The Free Press in giving the panic
ulars of the death of William Prince, of
whom we made mention last week, says:
—"William Edward Prince, a Hyde
Park blacksmith, died at his home in
the village Tuesday, aged 25 years.
The death of Prince was particularly
sad. About a month ago the young
man was pursuing his occupation as
usual, when he stepped opa rusty nail.
The nail went through he shoe and
penetrated the ball of the left foot. The
wound was rather painful, but it was
carefully dressed, and soon caused lit-
tle or no inconvenience. Two weeks
passed, and the incident had been al-
most entirely forgotten until Prince be-
gan to have trouble with cramps in the
foot which was injured. At intervals
they would be so severe as to draw the
toes out of shape and they finally be-
came so bad that Dr. McNeil, of St.
John's, was called. The trouble was
attributed to the rusty nail, and as Dr.
McNeill feared that lockjaw would set
in, he consulted with Dr. Wishart, of
this city. The sole of the foot was open-
ed and the wound cauterized, but grad-
ually the leg, back, and finally the jaw
became affected., Prince's agony dur-
ing the last ten days was intense and
terrible to behold. The unfortunate
fellow would be taken with periodical
spasms, during which it was alinost im-
possible to hold him in bed. Nothing
could be done to bring relief, and he
died Tuesday. Between the spasms
Prince was able to take a little nourish-
ment. The case is rather unusual in
that the jaw was not the first part. af-
fected.

known in athletic and social circles in

above Walkerville. The body has not

A case of twin sisters born on differ-
ent days in different months must be
an extremely rare one. Such a case it
falls to the lot of the Ridgetown Domin-
ion to record. On Sunday night the
wife of James Campbell, No. 3 Ward,
gave birth to twin girls, one before and
the other after midnight, one being
born in May and the other in June. At
time of writing mother and daughters
are doing well. It will he appropriate
to name the little ones after the months.
Sarnia Observer:—Word was receiv-
ed here Friday announcing the death
by drowning of John Colwell, near
Goderich, that morning. Colwell was
employed as a diver, but no particu-
lars regarding the accident are yet to
hand. Mr. Colwell was a comparative-
ly young man, and was well known
here, where he has numerous friends
and relatives. His wife and two child-
ren reside in the Fourth Ward. He
also has a brother employed iu the G.
T. R. ice houses at the tunnel.
The rather startling report of the
special auditor, George Edwards, of
Toronto, in which he claimed there was
a shortage in the accounts of City
Treasurer Harvey, of Guelph, created
a sensation in the Royal City. To the
finance committee the treasurer made
certain offers of security, but he was
suspended, and Mr. Richard Mitchell
placed temporarily in charge. It is said
that the shortages will aggregate be-
tween six and eight thousand dollars.
Mr. Harvey offered security to the
amount of ten thousand dollars.
Patiick Finn and John Lamb, aged
21 and 25 respectively, employed on the
T., H. & B. as section men were drown-
ed at noon on Monday in the Grand
River at Cainsville. Four of the section
men went out to swim. Finn was not
a swimmer and got into too deep water
He cried for help. Lamb being the
nearest, went to his assistance, and
when Finn got hold of him they both
went under,, not to rise again. The
other men went to their rescue, but the
water was so muddy they could not see
them. The two bodies were recovered
after being in the water about an hour'
