The Clinton New Era .says; -"The terralor which Mr. John Cox was elected to the Wardenship, expiring -with the present year, there are al- ready two aspirants In the field for it, Mr McEsvan, of Hay, and Mr Mooney, of Morris. The Council should adopt some rule whereby frietion would be avoided in contests:for this office. Eith- or let it be understood that the oldest member of the Canute, Council shall have the office, (unless he has previous- ly held It,) or let a Liberal have it one year,-aud a Conservative the other, This was a rule at one time in the old County Council, but latterly it has not been observed. The custom of gum chewing, which is so common in this country, especi. ally among the girls, and some people who are not girls, seems to have but recently gained ground in Eugland; but the supposition generally enter- tained on this side of the water that its use aids digestion by stimulating the flow of saliva is controverted by the English journals. A child aged betweeu seven and eight years died there recently after eating; some gum and the English people want its sale prohibited, contending that in addition to the fact that children often mistake it for sweetmeats, the habit of masti- cating the filthy compound induces too great a drain of saliva and is a cause of Much dyspepsia. AN IMPORTANT LIQUOR DII.CISION. The Divisional Court handed down a judgment at Osgoode Hall Thurs • day which is of great importance to all holders of liquor Amuses in the pro- vince. Patrick Walsh, a hotel keeper, of Ottawa, invited a friend into his hos- telry one Sunday last April, and when seated in a private portion of the house he invited the friend to have a drink.. The invitation was accepted, and sub- sequently Walsh was tined in the police court by the magistrate for "disposing of intoxicating liquor upon defendant's licensed premises during prohibited hours." The magistrate found that the defendant gave the liquor away to a friend. that there was no sale, and no request from the person to whom it was given, but he nevertheless, fined the man. From this conviction an appeal was made by Barrister James Severson to the divisonal court claim - lug that the act, which res •'sale or other disposal," did not itaMe such a gift. The court was unanimous in sustaining the conviction, Sir Wm. Meredith, C. J , stated that the object of the Liquor License Act would be de- feated if such things were allowed to happen. The idea was to keep these places closed absolutely during pro hibited hours and if .hotel -keepers were allowed to give liquor away, the ex- tent of the law would be wholly disre- garded. He mentioned polling days as an illustration of the evil Hotel keepers could pour out the Iiquor and " their friends " could drink it. The law could do nothing. Granton: The death took place here last week of one of the most respected boys in the community in the person of Eddie Arnold, whose remains were fol- lowed to the grave by a large con- course of sympathizing friends. Blanshard: On Sunday Mrs. Wm. Arksey died at her husband's residence 10th con. The deceased was born in Whitby township, Ont„ in 1841, and for thirty years was a resident of this place. Her husband and one son, Alvin, who lives on the adjoining farm, sur - viva her. Geo, Allman, the young man from Downie, who was sentenced by the po lice magistrate about a month ago for criminally assaulting a little girl: from that township, was whipped in the county jail, Stratford. He received five lashes. His sentence does not ex- pire for a few days. Hibbert: The other day as Charles Donnelly, was tearing up the flooring of an old house, which had been vacant for some time, on the 5th concession of Hibbert, he came across two watches 'which had been secreted under one of joists of the floor. One of the watches is silver and the other gold plated. Charles Saxton, aged 18 years, of Port Rowan, was out shooting on Thursday, when he met with as acci- dent that will cripple him for life. He was carrying his gun cocked under his right arm, when a branch of a tree knocked the hammer down. The charge entered his left foot and it had to be amputated. DIAMOND DYES. TEE BAYFIELD TRAGEDY. Erect Eiiiott Sentenced to Five Nears with Hard Labor for Manslaughter. Goderieh, Ont., Dee 15. -The trial of Fred Elliott, for shooting his brother, 13arvey, at Bayfield, ou November S.b, commenced before Judge Massou thin morning. A jury was secured after the Crown had rejected six men and the de fence five. W. Proudfoot is defending the prisoner, and great interest is shown in the trial, the cuurt room be- ing crowded. The Crown produced a plan of the hotel and surroundings, drawn by W. 0. Brough, C. 1♦;. Albert Woods, who was with deceased and one Dumart on the trip to Varna, where they all had several drinks, gave evidence, which does not materially dif- fer from that given before the coroner and magistrate. He was still in the wit - nese box at 12.80 o'clock, The trial was resumed at two p. m , when Wm, Cameron was called. He said he was in King's store; heard loud talking, and with others went to the outside of ttie hotel. Woods seemed 10 be quieting Harvey Elliott. Harvey broke away from Woods. Then. Fred Elliott backed away and Harvey lot lowed. He then heard a shot, and saw Harvey faI1; did not see who fired the shot. Geo. Irwin, the next witness, said he was on the opposite side of the road ; saw some one throwing offhis coat, who be thought was Harvey Elliott.- After about three minutes he started across to the hotel, but stopped halfway in the road, when he heard the shot fired. Ile then turned back again. in cross ex amination, Irwin stated that deceased was quarrelsome whea under the in- fluence of liquor. The next witness, Mr. King, heard the quarrel; and started across the road Saw people standing there. Saw Har vey near the hall door, taking off his coat, his mother following him. Just then Haryey made a rush at Fred, but witness could not see what occurred, as Mrs, Elliott was between them. Did not know who fired the shot, but saw the revolver in Fred's hands after the shot was fired. In cross-examination, he said Harvey was very quarrelsome when intoxicated. Lilly Elliott, sister of prisonerand de- ceased, next took the stand, and stated that Fred came to her that evening and gave her the money front the bar, and told her he was going to walk up and down the platform. Her mother locked the front door, and then passed out of the back one, and while the witness was entering the cash, she heard loud talk. ing, and went to the front, where Har- vey arvey was swearing and quarrelling with some one. Wituess put her arms around Harvey to try to stop him, but he broke away. She then called for help and cried to stop the quarrel between her brothers. , In cross-examination, the witness stated tltat deceased bad struck Fred, and also her father when 'alive, and that he went away several times and always came back quarrelsome. She also stated that Fred was sick, and had been treated for an abscess for a long time. Otherwise her evidence generally confirmed that of previous witness. At the conclusion of Miss Elliott's ex mitigation. Mr. Proudfoot, for defend ant addressed the jury for nearly ail hour, and was followed by Mr. Lewis, Crown prosecutor. His Honor Judge Masson then charg- ed the jury, and they retired about nine o'clock and returned a verdict of guil- ty with a strong recommendation to mercy. The sentence was postponed, On Saturday Judge Masson gave sent. epee. Mr. Proudfoot for the defence, offered a number of objections upon which he asked the court to reserve a case for appeal, and presented two pe- titions, one signed by citizens of Bay- field and the other by the jury which tried the case. His Honor denied the reserve case, but said that: he would give the petitions due weight. He thea addressed the prisoner, pointing out the seriousness of the crime, and sentenced him to five years, with bard labor, in Kingston Penitentiary. Mr. Proudfoot gives notice that he will move for a new trial. Simple, Strong, Sure, Never Fade, Never Fail, Best in the World.

Esson, (Tsborne; Jno. Gregg, Howick; Robert Howard, Ashfield; Benja. Higgins, Us - borne; Jas. McMurdie, Clinton; Jno .0 i avieh, Grey; Gilbert Mc1•Iichoael, Hullett; Peter McEwen, Turnberry; Joseph Rutledge, Goderich tp; J, 0. Ross, Seafoith; R. Stothers, Wawanosh; S. E Saunders, Wawanosh, On their return to court they were sworn, and then His Honor delivered Lis charge. In his address the Judge dwelt at some leugth on grand jury procedure, directing their attention to many points in this connection that must have lightened their labors The crimes noted were these of bur- glary, manslaughter, and forgery, the Bayfield shooting ease occupying the ei.at,•r part of His Honor's address. I he Judge quoted freely from the Criminal Code, concerning murder and manslaughter, and pointed out the difference between the two offences, The charge was attentively listened to by a crowded court, aid the general opinion was that it was a masterly presentation, and one that must aid the Grand Jurors to come to a just de- cision on the bills. During his charge, His Honor compared the countries that the line 45 divides, stating that in that to the South there had been 97 lynch iags in the first eight months of 1897, and clearly inferred that such a state of things existed because juries did nut do their duty without fear, favor, affection. The first case was then called. An action brought by Robinson of Gode- rich, agaiost Coxworth, of Hensall, for breach of agreement, in refusing to comply with an agreement made to sell his hotel. The case was heard without a jury and at its conclusion Itis Honor reserved judgment. E. Cam pion. Q. C., appeared for plff; Wm. Proudfoot and H. J. D. Cook, defending. A non jury Wase, Halter vs. Hubert, was by consent -postponed till next court.
