PETERBORO STORE' COLLAPSES.
Five People . Killed and Several Injured When Big
Departmentel Building Caves In.
A despatch from Peterboro says:
With no more warning than a few
ominous cracks, that were immedi-
- atel.y followed by a rending of tine-
bees a.nd crashing of bricks and
mortar, a big section of the largest
departmental' store in the city, that
of the J. U. Turnbull Co,, George
and Simooe streets, collapsed on.
Thursday morning, killing five and
injuring more or less seriously al-
most a .dozen. of the occupants. The
obvious cause of the calamity which
occurred shortly before ten o'clock,
was the weakening of the walls by
extensive interior' alterations, in-
volving- the removal of a brick parti-
tion separating what formerly were
two stores.
During the whole day upwards of
100 people tvorked in the ruins, first
reecuing the living, and Tater re-
moving the 'bodies of the dead.
Even after the last body, that of
Miss Dorothy Sisson, had been un-
covered at about 3.30 in the after-
,
noon the working party did not
cease, for it was feared that there
might be others. By eight o'clock
in the evening it was learned that
several whom it was feared b=id heee
killed were Safe, and only ,then dip
work cease. All those who :were
killed were working either i'n tla:e
Bret. story or tthe`third, the: roof of
which was open to`the sky. Over
'and over again. marvel has been et -
pressed that with upward of 50.
people in the store, including cus-
tomers and employees, the 'list of
dead and' injuredwas not mini
longer than it is.
Perhaps the saddest, of the many
Cad featares of the dies are the
oases of Miss ,Dorothy Sisson and

minutes. Their first -thought was

Soon the crowd which quickly
gathered, all eager to do what they
could, threatened to interfere with
the work, and had to be held back.
It was' here that many of the saddest`
scenes occured. People who knew
not whether friends or near rela-
tives were dead or alive, struggled.
frantically • to get into the ruins.
Cries and moans went up as bodies
were removed and recognized,
Again, there were joyous meetings
between friends and those merci-

The •boy Problem.
The World's Work has been describing
what has been done for the boy by the
Shouts, the Y,M,C.A., the Salvation Army
and other bodies. Always in school and
elsewhere where boys congregate, we are
told, there are gangs, Usually there gangs
are a nuisance; very often they are a seri,
ons menace to the morale of the gang.
members and to the peace . of the neigh•
borhood. For usually the energy of the
grunge is directedagainst law and order.
But a new time is coming,: Por'so many
people In the schools, in the Boy Seoute.
and in inany other activities have .grasp-
ed the fundamental faot that if tbese gang
activities : are guided moat wonderful re-
sults tan be achieved -results that will
leave these boys far better able tohandle
themselves honestly and effectively -in the,
world than were their predecessors:
Same' All over.
The financial situation -in -western Can,
ada has never been any more acute than
in the older countries of the world,accord-
ing to an opinion expressed in Winnipeg:
recently by H- V. Meredith, vice-president
and general manager of the Bank of.
Montreal. Mr. Meredith is making a tour
of inspection of Western Canada, ` accom-
panied by Mr. L. Meredith. of London,
.Ont;
"There has been no greater stringency
here," Mr. Meredith said, "than there has
been'in Berlin, Vienna and London. It is
a world-wide condition. At all times there
have been spells when money bas bean
tight, and there ie. no particular signi-
floanoe inthis one."
Aerial Mall.
If anypractical utility is found for the
aeroplane in times of peace, it is likely
to Be in the delivery of mail, and some-
what euggeetive of possibilities in this
direction was the flight made in France
a few days ago by Guillaux. It was not
a great flight in comparison with the' sen•
sational achievements of Marcel Brinde•
Sone dee Moulenais, who has done 887
miles. (Wiliam( flew but 280. But he car-
ried with him the Paris papers and drop-
ped them at 915 a.an. in Bordeaux, where
they do not otherwise arrive till 5 p.m. SEL
difference of 73-4 hours in newspaper ger-
vice is important, and if a fair degree of
reliability should be attained a • certain
limited uao could no doubt be found .for
the flying machine in carrying the mails
to territory more or less Macoeeeible, The
cerrying.power of the aeroplane is slight,
and there would be a premium on com•
pact journalism, but- speedin the :air
costs singularly .little.. and by -dropping
bundles at designated places the need for
stops could be avoided. But the occasion
for aerial' service would be mainly in re-
gions now accessible only by a slow and,
roundabout. route.

Only Two impeached.
The impeachment of Governor Selzer of
New York brings out the fact that in the
whole history • of the republic only two
executives have been impeached ,and re-
moved, one the governor of North Caro-
lina in 1870, and the other the governor
of Nebraska in 1871. Five other govern-
ors faced impeachment Chargee, but the.
charges were not sustained. Never before
in the history of New York State has a
governor been impeached. The nearest ap-
proaeh.10 it centred about George Clinton,
the state's first chief executive, in 1791. An
associate of the governor was convicted
of irregularities in land 'speculation and
sent to jail. This smirched Clinton's
name for a time, but he was never tried,
and subsequently he lived it down and
served his state thereafter for. years.
Kitchener's Egypt.
Egypt ie to have a parliament, and Sir
Edward Grey has given it his,blessing and
says it will increase the liberties of the
Egyptian people. It is intended to com-
bine the Legislative Council and the Gen-
eral Assbmbly into one Legislative As-
sembly, consisting of the ministers and
sixty-six elected and seventeen nominated
members. The latter will comprise the
president, the vice-president, four Copts,
three Arab Bedouins, two merchants, two
doctors. one engineer, two educational
representatives, and one municipal rePre-
seutative. The Legislative Assembly ,till,
Initiate legislation, save where it con-
cerns constitutional lame.
The preamble of the Khedival decree
states that it is desired to endow the
country with. an enlightened system of
government, ensuring good administra-
tion, protection of individual liberty, and
the development of progress and civiliza-
tion. Egyptis thus certainly moving up-
ward, and more than one trouble which
some years ago looked menacing seems
susceptible to -day of a healthy solution.
It is to be hoped that the changes now an-
nounced will prove a real milestone in
the people's march 'towards a fuller and
freer expression of their natural genius.
It ie marvellous to think that when Lord
Kitchener went to Egypt his appointment
was considered an answer to the Young.
Egyptian party's querulous cry, "Egypt
for the Egyptians," and lo! ;here by the
grace of a, stern maintenance of order
and a'atrict justice is already emerging
a representative government. The world
to -day has great need of such men as Kite
diener of Khartoum.

the Minister whether, in view of
the announced intention of variona
branches of -German industry to ex-
hibit in San Franoisco, the German
Government would not revise its
decision in regard to official non -
participation,. Herr von Jagow re-
plied in the negative, giving as the
Government's grounds for its -ac-
tion the high, cost of an official ex-
hibit, the general disinolination to

wardness in attending foreign ex-

Altercation'.
A despatch from Toronto' says:
As the result of an altercation in
the kitchen of Smith's hotel at the

Ives, se woman about 35 years of
age, who lived on Elizabeth street,
was killed, and James Dickenson,
230 Simcoe street, another kitchen
employe,;, is under arrest on a
charge of murder. The argument
which led to the fight started short -
before, eight o'clock when the
woman asked the accused to take
acme ice to the refrigerator. When
he. refused the woman is alleged to
have struck shim, and when he hit
hack she' fell under the blow, and
striking a table broke her neck. As

out -of the hotel, but he was found
in his:room about three hours later

was the cause,' another laid the
blame on a lighted cigarette. It
was necessary to flood that part of
t13e ship in which the flames raged,
and she took a heavy, list to star-
board. The damage was confined
almost entirely to the provision de-
partment. An"'"' independent esti-
