eculiar and painful accident the other
lay, which shows how easily one can
rret hurt. During the day Mr Morrell

Trowhill's blacksmith shop, and as he
was coming home in the evening, ac-
.,companied by his son, he was walking
On the side of the street opposite to the
blacksmith shop,when Trowhill shout -

him, and stepping back into the shop

ili gave the bolt a vigorous toss, ex-
ecting, as Morrell also did himself,
hat he would catch it. But he missed
it.and it struck the child right over the
eye,.making a nasty flesh wound, which
necessitated a doctor's services to sew
it up. It was purely an accident, but
ad it, struck the child higher up on
is head it might have been serioue.

in the old country but the two mem-

pected residents of this place.
An Ilderton correspondent thus re -
fors to a sister of Frank Clatworthy,
.of town:—"Again it is our sad duty to

the person of Mrs J. Clark. Deceased

DISMISSkD.-Jab. IL Shuttleworth,
of London, charged W. Stanley with
converting to his own use a car of ap-
ples alleged to belong to Shuttleworth.
It was heard before the Mayor on
Tuesday, Messrs Scott it McKenzie
appealing for Mr Stanley and Mr
Ivey, of Loudon, for Shuttleworth.
After a three hours' hearing the charge
was dismissed.
t,400D W ORE. -The boys who run
the paring machines .tat the Evaporator
are hustlers, and certainly do riot lose
any time. Last week five of them—
W. Whitley, Jas. West, Fred Robin-
son, Norman Wehh and John Walker
handled and pared 1500 bushels, or 50
bushels a day each. This is good work,
and it is said has not been equalled by
any similar staff in the west.
STORM PROTECTORS. - We have al-
ready published two lists of persons
who have purchased lightning rods
from P. M. Senn, and herewith publish
a third list, making in all 56 persons
within a radius of a few miles of Clin-
ton, who have secured the undoubted
protection afforded by these rods:— D.
A. Forrester, R. Coats, J. C. Holmes,
John and Geo. Hudie, G. Cantelon, R.
Elliott, Goderich township; J. Britton,
N. T. Adams, T. Archer, A. T. McDon-
ald, Hullett. Mr Senn is thankful for
the patronage, and has tried to please
all his customers, and will,if all is well,
be around again next season, when he
expects to sell a great many more.
HON. MR. TARTE HERE -On Tuesday
morning the London train brought in
a special car containing the Hon J. I.
Tarte, Minister of Public Works, en
route for Goderich, accompanied by his
Private Secretary, and Mr Cotte, Chief
Engineer. The car,was side-tracked to
wart until the accommodation train
got through shunting, and, therefore,
they remained here possibly about 45
minutes. Mr Tarte's pi esence here was
not generally known, but the Mayor,
getting wind of it, and being personally
acquainted with bin', went down and
had a few minutes informal chat with
the Minister, who was found husily
transacting matters pertaining to his
department. His trip had no political
significance, 's he was simply on his
way to inspect the public works at
Goderich, and bad notified no one of his
intended visit. He came back on the
2.45 train.
WEDDING. -A vet y quiet wedding,
in which two popularClintonians were
concerned, took place at the home of
Ogle Cooper, brother-in-law of the
bride, on Tuesday morning. The
principals were J. E. Cantelon, t 1 lest
son of Wm. Jantelon, and Miss M. A.
Clark. Rev. A. Stewart performed
the ceremony. and only the immediate
friends were present, J. T Clark,
("Mack") of Toronto Saturday Night,
brother of the bride, being the only
outsider present, while bridesmaid
and groomsman were dispensed with.
After an excellent wedding dinner,
they left on their wedding tour to
Buffalo and other points, and will re-
turn to town on Monday, taking up
their residence in the house lately oc-
cupied by Mr Allen. Both are young
people of the town, well known and
very highly thought of, and we join
with their many friends in wishing
them the fullest measure of happiness.
THE HYDRANT SYSTEM. -Some time
ago the council decided to extend the
hydrant system, which has direct con-
nection with Fair's pond, to a point
near the post office, and also to the
corner north of the mill. The work
has been completed by Chas H. Car-
ter and,his street staff, under the per-
sonal supervision and assistance of
Jacob Miller, who made the couplings,
etc. The pipes have been laid at a
fair depth, to avoid frost and so ar-
ranged That no water can lodge in
them, even if there was any possibility
of freezing; a hydrant has been placed
at the con ner of Mill St., one on the
Market Square and another one at
Wiltse's corner, which practically pro-
vides an efficient system of water-
works within the section of the town.
At a special meeting of the council, on
Saturday night, it was decided to ex-
tend the system to the east corner of
the Commercial hotel,' and put in a
hydrant here and also at Irwin's cor-
Lee. This hydrant system is one of
the best investments the town has
made, being a valuable auxiliary to
the fire department, and the town is
under perpetual obligations to Mr Fair
for his kindness in furnishing power
and water
TOWN COUNCIL.— A special meeting
of the council was held on Saturday
night, members all present except
Messsrs Robb, McKenzie and Wiltse.
On motion of Reeve Kennedy, second-
ed by Coun. Taylor. the clerk was in-
structed to band over to Messrs Doh-
erty & Co., the loan of $25000, as soon
as the money is received from the
Treasurer of the Canadian Foresters.
Deputy -Reeve Jones laid before the
council a proposition to extend the hy-
drant system from Irwin's corner to
the east corner of the Cummer tial Ho-
tel,Huron St.,the members of the Curl-
ing Club to pay the cost of laying same
down, and a portion of .the cost of the
pipes, as they desire "tb use the water
in connection with the rink. It was
moved by 21r Jones and seconded by
Mr Taylor that this extension be made,
subject to the conditions proposed,pro-
vided it has the approval of Mr Fair.
The motion was carried on the follow-
ing vote:—Yea—Jones, Bowers, Ford,
Doherty, Taylor, 5; Nay -- Kennedy,
Plummer, 2. The question of putting
gravc,l on the streets was left in the
hands of the Street Committee.
NOTES, —Saturday's illustrated Globe
shows several views of the town of
Crenfell, Aster., among them the Gra-
nite Hotel, owned by John E. Howson,
who has recently been spending seve-
ral with his parents in this place.
Bond Lawrason entered the house of
Refuge as an inmate last week; it cer-
tainly cannot be eaid that his misfor-
tune is due to liquor, for he has been a
total abstainer for years, and a most
respectable member of society. but
having no means and being too old to
work he wisely avails himself of a
home that offers every comfort to all
who have the misfortune to be poor.
Tomy Schrenk had fine Frieze over-
coat stolen from his stable last Thurs-
day; he has a suspicion where it went
to, though he has not yet recovered it.
George Jones, of Stapleton, has decid-
ed to go to British Columbia, where
he has two brothers residing, and will
sell his household furniture on Satur-
day next on the Market Square. The
modelites attendingthe Public School

of the association. Mrs M. McMur-
chie, step -mother of the late A. Mc -
Murchie, of town, died at her residence
in Vaughan township, York, on Fri-
day, in her 76th year. On Monday
evening, about 8, the wind split a
large tree in front of Dr. Blackall's
house, Albert St., and it felt across the
road, cornpletely blocking it for traf-
fic until Mr Wheatley, under lantern's
rays, chopped it clear; the tree has
since beenentirelyremoved. Fran -Mat -
worthy, who is employed with J. Mc-
Clacherty, got a telegram on Satur-
day, informing hint of the serious ill-
ness of his sister at Ilderton, and he
started at'once therelor, but she died
before he reached her home. We are
pleased to know that the wife of
Reeve Kennedy, who has been on the
sick list for a couple of weeks, and
confined to her room, is now able to
get around again. The Guy Bros,
Minstrels are to appear here on the
26th. Thos. Jackson, sr., has been
making improvements to the property
owned by him on Huron St., removing
several large niaple trees, and levelling
the ground. We notice that the hard-
ware men are making daily deliveries
of new stoves, which indicates the ap-
proach cf cold weather. The restau-
rant business lately carried on by W.
J. Carter has been discontinued. The
Evaporator has already shipped a car
of fruit to Hamburg, Germany, and
will this vreek ship two cars more to
the same place. A meeting of the Col-
legiate Board of Trustees was held on
Monday evening, but no business was
transacted but passing a few accounts.
In our report of Hayfield prize list, Jno

Flow can it be done is the question asked us every
day. They must be a tremendous bargain or else there
was an awful big profit. The reason is simply this. We
are handling nothing but
Slater Shoes • .
in fine goods, and our shelves are loaded with other
makes, which have got to go,and the price is the quickest
way to make them move. Dozens of the keenest buyers
are picking up these snaps every week, and still there
are dozens missing them.
Our Shoe Department is booming. Business has
increased 50 per cent this month so far, and still going
ahead. The reason is not far to find. We are selling
goods 10 to 15 per cent cheaper than ever before,
and we are roerfectly confident that we are not equalled
in prices. Saving $1000.00 a year in expenses is the
reason why we can do this.
