"If we have Total Prohibition, I am nob
afraid of my property depreciating in
value. I admit the profit on the sale of
liquor is large but I oan make a living in
running a strictly Temperance house. I
pay a license to sell liquor but minors
and intoxicated men cannot buy whisky

urday at 7 p. m. and not opened until
Monday morning."

the deer in a very few years. Hence the
petition. It asks that the open season be

Toronto at 8:40 Saturday morning, dill
not puli into the Union depot until 5 o'-
olook in the evening, owing to an acci-
dent ieb St. Mary's, which, but for a
watchman's promptness, would have
resulted in the loss of many lives. For
memo days past a gang of workmen have
been employed in repairing the bridge at
St. Mary's and a wooden trestle had been
temporarily (+recited. The train leaving
Toronto at 11 p. m. passed over safely at

gate discovered that the trestle work had
collapsed and the tracks had Bunk several

was on the train, at once took up a sub-
soription for Watchman Clark among
the Pullman passengers, and a purse of
$25 was raised and banded to him.
Among the passensers, other than Deteo •
five Rogers, were Detective Greer, James
Burton, the well-known Barrie lumber-
man, Broker Silks, of Chicago, and
others. The passengers of No. 4 were
provided with a special train to London
and at the Forest City were given ac-
commodation to Toronto. The repairs
to the bridge were completed in time to
resume traffic on the following day.
