The Dunkin Act has been in Imre
izi several ni unicipalities of South Essex
for a umber of years, and those In
hivor of lieensime hotels have made
repeated efforts to have it tepealed,
but the temperance people, with one
exception, always defeated the liquor
men. This exception was in Colches-
ter South, where a by-law repealing
the Dunkin Act was passed by a large
majority. After it was passed, the
liquor dealers commenced selling open-
ly, but the temperance people found a
aim- in the by-law and sgain closed
the bars. Although defeated so many
times, the liquor. men have not yet
given up hape of -being able to secure
licenses, and the latest 'move is that J.
IV. Hanna, of Windsois, has been in-
structed to frame a by-law that will
stand, and then it will be Submitted
by the Council to the popular vote,
They claim that the by-law will have
a large majority in the township.
The temperance people are quietly
working with the intention of having
Colchester South still remain a tem-
perance township. •The claim is made
that the other townships will not at-
tempt any action until the resnit of
the tight in Colchester South is known.
'Then, if the liquor dealers are victor-
ious, similar by-laws will be introduc-
ted in the town of Essex and other
places where the temperance law now
exists.

.and. merle representations regarding
the necessity of having legislation for
the purpose of grading, packing and
inspection of fruit intended for ship-
ment abroad, setts to prevent the pos-
sibility of frauds on consumer. It was
also urged to adopt some measures to
prevent the ravages of the co'dling
...moth, which have been very deetrue-
tive to the pear and apple crops in this
Province. Mr. Dryden thought the
question of grading and packing and
inspecting fruit was one that the Do-

Struck by a Train.
Newbury,iFeb.13.---What may prove
to he a fatal accident occurred on the
G.T.R., half a mile east of this station,
between 9 and 10 o'clock yesterday,
John Swift, a retired clergyman, 65
years of age, was struck by the east-
bound mail, and received injuries from
which it is believed he cannot recover.
The driver on the train was Caleb
Kn!ght, of Windsor, and when he. first
saw Swift, the latter was two or three
hi -inched yards ahead, walking on the
tracks, and caeryinfi cross -cut saw
on his shoulder. The whistle was sound-
ed and, Swift stepped clear off the rails
but a moment later, as the train was
a few yards away, he stepped back
again. The beam above the cow -catch-
er struck Swift, in the back, throwing
him clear of the track. The injured
tritLII was taken to a near -by house,
where at last acconnts he was in a
very' low cOndition. Swift lives with
his wife on a 100 ACM farm near here.
Lord Roberts tells 'the correspand-
eats when ,gets clown to business
they shall have ample opportunity to
send news, His chief press censor
yesterday issued new rules, and in
future all written communications
are to go uuchecked. Only telegrd.ph
are to go unchecked. Only tiile-
grams will be censored. For the
next few days little news is likely to
get through, but later there will be
more freedom, Thus, says the censor,
and the last clause may be interpret-
ed, to mean that something is about
to happen.
