Fuller, To. routo, in jumping from a carriage at the corner of Huron and Morris streets, fell and received injuries so terrible that she died within a few minutes. A horse belonging to Wm. Grose, of the 10th con, of Pell, fell into a well abort 36 feet deep with several feet of water in it. The animal was soon extri• anted from its perilous condition, nothing the worse. Over three thousand people went through the Sarnia Tunnel Saturday. Excursions were run from several points in Michigan and adjoining States, and several more speoiale will carry passen- gers to the great boring beneath the St. Clair River. Mooh damage was done in the vicinity of Monoton, N. B., by a storm 0n Satur- day night. The outer breakwater at Point Duchene was carried away and a small schooner crushed between the breakwater and wharves. Eight inches of snow fell along the Interoolonial Rail- way between Newcastle and Bathurst. Alonzo Crow, of Raleigh, heard a eon]. motion in his hennery, and armed with a shotgun went to investigate, when he came upon three men depleting the roosts. He challenged the trio, one of whom responded by presenting a pistol and making him lower his gun. He practi• °ally had to "hold up his hands" until such time as the coops with their con. tents were loaded and driven away, The application to discharge Walter J. Cohen, the New York boodler who is in jail at Berlin, Ont., was to have been made on Saturday morning before Chief Justine Galt, but was enlarged for a week. The alleged fugitive is the lead- ing partner in the firm of Cohen, Solo- mon Sc Co., and left unpaid bills and other more illegal debts to the amount of $73,000. A large and enthueiattio meeting of the citizens of Stayner presented a suit- able address and gold watch to Dr. Wy lie, M. P. P., upon his departure to re- side in the city of Toronto. The chair was oocnpied by Mayor Rogers. Anum- ber of speakers expressed the respect and esteem in which the doctor is held in the town. He has occupied many public positions and still represents his cohati- tuenny in the Local Legislature. Capt. Aleck Donnelly of the Grey- hound, rey hound, which sailed out of Kincardine, wee killed in his coaster the other day at Stokes Bay. It appears he was in the hold and one of the truckers dumped a truck of cordwood down the hatchway upon him without any warning, killing the unfortunate man instantly, His widow is now in Detroit, who is left with five children. The deceased captain was both an Orangeman and a Mason and was quite well known in Owen Sound. Capt. Crawford,of the A. V. Crawford, picked up a boat near Hope Bay. He recognized the boat and towed it into McGregor's f1arbor and left it there. It appears that on Saturday evening Frank Nogowan and Sylvester Keasiok left the Cape for Smoky Inland to set their nets and since that time nothing has been heard of them. The boat was probably swamped in the gale on Sunday night and the men washed off. There were several articles in the boat, among them some fish and nets. John Cummings, a farmer on the lath con. of Finy, was burned out last week. His three youngest children were burned to death and his wife is very, badly burn- ed. It is very doubtful if she can live. The lire started by the obildren lighting papers et the stove and throwing them into the wood box. Mr. Cummings had only just left the house on his way to Sunday school, taking the eldest boy with him, and his wife was out milking. She ran in to save the children nod her clothes caught fire, Cummings noticed the fire and ran back, and met his wife with the baby and oracle Doming out. He went in for the children but the heat and smoke were unbearable, and he had to retreat without finding them. No in• surance. About eight weeks ago as Laohlan Taylor, of Wiarton, was working in the bush, in stepping over ie large maple tree which be bad recently out down, he fell on a sapling, which was broken off about four feet from the ground and badly splintered, nutting his throat severely. He rolled over on the ground, and when he recovered consciousness he started for home. Two doctors were called and attended him for six weeks. Not getting any better, he went to Guelph and con- sulted a doctor, who, after examining the wound, sent him to the General Hospital, and the next day an operation was per. formed on his throat, and a splinter near- ly four inches long and half an inch thick was taken from it. He was dig. charged from the hospital on Saturday. At Hanover last week five small boys, of not more than 10 years of age, pur- chased several yards of factory cotton and one of the tailors made a balloon Inc them. They repaired to the bash yard of the Johnston property and dug a trench, started a fire in it and placed the cotton in position. Pretty soon it began to expand and a clothes basket was tied to the bottom. Herman Wendorf climb- ed into the basket and called to the boys to let her go. Ilp she went with a melt over the barn and trees with the young aeronaut Winging to the basket for dear life. He was about to jump when he fortunately remembered hie jaok•knife, A long grab in the cotton was the wotlt of an instant, the gee tiommeneed to es. cape and the balloon began to descend. When still - some distance front the ground the badly frightened boy jumped out but was not .badly hurt. u prevailed in New Brans- Locale—Dr. j. rans- Locals--Dr..1, C. ky er.

A BROOM t0 the Baccarat scandal is the protest made by Sir William Gordon, Cumming --warden of the united counties of Elgin and Nairn, Sooland—against allowing the municipal council of the counties to appropriate money to be used. in entertaining the Duke and Duohess of Fife, the latter being a daughter of the Prince of Wales. Evidently Sir William is striking at the Prince through his daughter. BOORRT McGREeVx and Owen E, Mur- phy, who were in the conspiracy with the Connollys and Thomas McGreevy to rob the Department of Public Works, have been found guilty of conspiracy to rob Michael Connolly, and have apparent• ly fled the ouuntry, On the clay of the flight of McGreevy and Murphy the Coo• nollys violently took possession of their books containing erasures, eto, held as evidence against them by the Federal •Government in a probable action for con- spiracy to defraud, The Department of Public Works was at the mercy of this gand, headed by Thomas McGreevy for ten or twelve years, and their boodling amounted to millions. A nava deal was said before the slava trade was overthrown. The heinous character of the traffic was considered a blot on the page of civilization, but while this was true we have an idea that the present outrages perpetrated in Siberia ' in the glare of the nineteenth century is something that should call down swift and decisive jndgemnt upon the head of any nation allowing saoh inhumanity within its borders. Many are the sad stories told by persone fortunate to escape the slow torture and the following will, perhaps, serve as an illustration :-- Among the passengers on the Empress of India was a Russian named Demetrius Koeopolitsky, who had escaped from the gold mines at Krasnuyarsk, about 150 miles from the mouth of the Yenesei river, eastern Siberia, whither he had been transported for sixteen years for being eoncereed in the publication of e Nihilist journal, called the "Wilt of the People." Kenoplitsky who is worn to a skeleton by the hardships encu ed gives an appalling description of convict life in the mines. For six years, he says, be suffered unheard of miseries. Fourteen prisoners were shackled together working far below ground in almost total dark. neas. They all slept in a room about 6 feet by 0 feet, on bare planks, with cue a little higher for a pillow. They began work at 7 a. m. in winter time and finished at 7 p, m., and in summer time they worked from 4 a. m. to 7 p. m., with only one hones intermission, be- tween 1 and 2 o'clock. They got but one meal a day, and that consisted of black bread and water, and on Sundays they were allowed a email portion of canned beef. Almostas many Cossacks as con• riots eto.d guard at the mouth of the pit, to absolutely bar all possible means of escape. Any complaints were punish. ed most rigorously, and on one occasion Keuoplitsky was stripped with the ex- ception of a belt around hie waist and shackled to a rook and left exposed to the cruel Siberiah climate for 24 hours, and all for stating to the overseer that he was not quite comfortable. At last the hour of escape arrived. Fourteen of them were working in the one shaft all shackled together. With a stone he managed to remove the anklets. The same opportunity of escape was offered to the others but he only, as far as be kn,nvs, availed himself of it. After weeks of suffering he reached Viadivos- took. One of the prisoners had managed to steep his paeeport and had given it to Konopliteky. The refugee almost cor- responded with the desoription given but Konoplitslty bad a tattoo mark of Christ bearing the oross upon his forearm, while the passport particularly pointed out that there was no tattoo marks upon the person to whom the passport had been .given. The ease was a desperate one and required a desperate remedy. With an ordinary clasp knife 11e out the pieces of flesh from the arm. The soar is nob yet healed. From Vludivestoek he worked his passage on a Japanese ateamer to Nagreaki, and there hid him- self on board the Empress of India, where be made himself known after the vessel was out of sight of land. He was treated with the greatest sympathy and supplied with money and clothes. W. T. Whitely, editor of the Clinton News -Record, who was a candidate for the Co. Clerkship, says in this week's i8s116 :—It would seem clear from the analysie and the table given that Whitely was the strongest candidate for oppon- ants of Lane to have massed on, and we have every reason to believe had this been done he would have been elected over Lane, even though Mr. herr, who would have suppotted him, was absent. But if Holman's supporters when they saw lie could not carry it had massed upon Whitely a vote would have bean taken while Mr, Karr was present and Whitely's election assured beyond a peradventure. But Mr. Lane's eupportere were the best tacticians and he was elected by a min. ority vote of the council, Though not personally acquainted with Mr. Lane we believe he ie a gentleman quits oompet. out to fill the position, and though we would have been better pleased to congra- tulate some one else, we are not to ohur- lieh es to refrain from offering him our fblioitations 00 his amass, TIIE BRUSSELS POST P-3 A.
