Fair's mill is being overhauled this week, the rolls t e -corrugated, the furnaces rebuilt and the engine house re -roofed. The work will occupy a week or ten days when the mill will be in full operation again. Roofing With Sparharn Cement. Air. Jos. Butler, who has the hand- ling of the Sparham cement roofing for this disirict, rooted Mr. Jaa. Smith's block, next the Clarendon Hotel, last week and this week will start on the engine house at Fair's mill. Mr. Butler has a good article in this Sp4,r- hare cement, which, he claims, will almost defy the ravages of time itself, and is not at all pleased when his work is spoken of as gravel roofing. A Bogus Beggar. A pretty scheme was nipped in the bud on Monday afternoon when Chief Wheatley took into custody a young man who was begging about town and telling a distressing tale of injuries he suffered from, including a broken arta done up in splints. But the keen eye of the Chief soon detected the deception and he speedily put the mendicant behind the bars. When lodged in the coop the young scamp acknowledged his imposture, but. claimed that it was the first time he had hien guilty of such work. IIe laid the blame upon his pal, who, he said, had coached him and did the splinting as the easiest way he knew of working upon rhe sympathy of the public. He found the citizens easily imposed upon, netting, so he tole) the Ch,ief,over four dollars in his canvas of the town. He is now in the county gaol doing a thirty -days sentence. To Ride the Bumpers Costs 30 Days. Chief Wheatley made an arrest at the depot last Saturday morning, his prisoner being a young train who had thrice attempted to steal a ride upon the bumper's. Each time he was seen, the train pulled up and he was put off, but, notwithstanding the vigilance of the brakesulan no sooner had it started than he swung underneath again and would probably have gotten free trans- portation to Seaforth had the Chief not happened upon the scene and taken him into custody. The y: m. wade no protest, pleaded guilt y when taken before the beak, and philosophically accepted the ten dollars or thirty days sentence imposed. He is said to he a member of a respectable family, a brother and sister occupying responsi- ble positions in Toronto, while an aunt in Stratford "is always good" to the wandering boy when he turns up at her home in hard luck. He was making for the Classical city when apprehend - en and says just so soon as his term at Goderich expires he will beat the Grand Trunk and secure a free ride to Stratford no matter how watchful the brakesman may be.., To a young man who has ridden thousands of miles on top and underneath cars, the run from the county town to Stratford will not be hard to accomplish.

Jacob Howald, aged 23, of Zurich, was drowned Sunday while bathing in the lake. B. Durand tried to save him and WAS nearly drawn down by How- ald's frantic efforts to cling to hint. The Methodist Picnic. The annual picnic held by the Metho- dist S. S's on Thursday last was largely attended and a pleasant affair. The children e'q)ecially enjoyed themselves on the beach, while the older ones took their enjoyment in boating or lolling about in the shade. The steamer City of London tirade several hour and a half trips and the presence of the Citi- zens' Band from the Hub made the run out and back rather livelier than it would otherwise have 'been. Noth- ing unpleasant accused to roar the pleasure of the day and so the Schools' officials and their friends are congratu- lating themselves upon the success of their annual outing. Mr. McGillicuddy Lectures Next Monday. Mr Thos. McGilli- cuddy, who will de- liver one of his pop- ular lectures in the Baptist church next Monday evening, is well-known in Iluron, having for- merly been ai resi- dent of both Brus• sols and Goderich. He is a clever and entertaining talker, abler in speech, so it is said, than is his brother, the immortal Dan, with the pen. Mr. IS" cGillicuddy's subject " Homely People " ought to appeal to many of us, so we fancy there will be a large attendance at his lecture, as•well as at the Sunday morning and evening services when he will preach. Miss Irwin Injured. While two merry loads (>f Presby- terians, composed of the choir of Wil- lis church and a few friends, were on their way to Bayfield to picnic Mon- day afternoon and just, a short distance out of town, one of the draw bolts dropped and the horses veer- ing one way and the vehicle swerving the other, the latter ran into the ditch and upset. Several might have been injured, but for- tunately all escaped save Miss Hattie Irwin, who was caught beneath the seat, stunned, and remained uncon- scious for some time. Though badly shaken tap and bruised Miss Irwin re- ceived no serious injury and when this had been ascertained beyond doubt the picnickers continued on to the lakeside for their annual outing. Percy Y Fair, who was coachman, was drawn over the dashboard when the accident considerably bruised. happened and to y The choir of Willis church under Mr. Spalding's leadership is an efficient one and the congregation will he rejoiced to hear that their singing band had, bar- ring the thought of Miss Irwin's acci- dent and her disappointment at not being table to be present, an enjoyable time. Canadian Foresters' Parade. On Sunday morning Court Maple Leaf U. O. F., and members of the fra- ternity from Seaforth, Goderich, Lon• desboro, Holtnesville and Aubutu, to the number of over one -hundred and fifty, attended divide service in Rattenhury St. Methodist ohurch. The centio seats of the edifice had been re- served for them and they filled the pews almost back to the doors. On the return of the Foresters to their lodge room, whence they marched two and two, Chief Wheatley acting as mar - shall, votes of thanks were passed Pas- tor Millyard fon' his eloquent and thoughtful address, to the choir for its music and to the church authorities for their hospitality. Mr. Millyard took his text from Romans 1•---1.4. Debt makes the world go round. Debt and credit are synorsymous and credit means confidence and confidence is identical with faith and faith is a saving grace. The principle involved underlies the industries of nations. Our banking system rests upon it. it turns the wheels of our great factories and sets our ships asailing on the sea. But it may be abused and then you have financial disaster. An Insolvent debtor is a miserable man, yet Paul declares himself to he hopelessly in debt and not ashamed of it. (1) What was it. 11 is explaaned in his letter to the Romans, "Owe no man anything, hut to love one another." This invol- ves means obligation to his fellowmen. (2) (low was the debt incurred. in our creation end emphasized by Pro• vidence, intensified by divine grace. (3) To whom is this debt owed. First to God himself.

This is the understanding principle of the Order present. Ire motto is, Liberty, Benevolence, Con - The Bowlers Won Walking Slicks. The tournament at Seaforth last week netted the Hub's howlers four walking sticks, not one all around, to be sure, but yet a fair measure of suc- cess with the Clubs competing. Mr. W. Jackson's rink were the winners. On Tuesday night they beat the strong London rink, A. Parfitt's, and at Sea - forth next day repeated the victory by a score of 22 to 14. This was in the trophy competition, where iu the se- cond round they defeated John Weir's, Seaforth, rink, 15 to 14, but in the third series Dr. Shannon's, Goderich, won by 20 to 12. In the final Coleman, Seaforth, beat Shannon, thus winning the trophy. In the consolation match, Mr. Jackson was pitted against Mr. J. Johnston and also the rink of Mr. John Weir, Seaforth, winning in each, the first by 1.1 to 13 and the second by 15 to 14, The silver -mounted walk- ing sticks were won by Mr. Jackson's rink in competition with the Wells rink of London. Mr. Jackson's rink consisted of J. Rattenbury. J. 'Lans- ford, .1. Fair, Jr., and W. Jackson, but trefore the stick competition, Mr. Rat- tenbury having to return home his place was taken by Mr. Brewer. Mr. Forrester's rink won two games and lost as many. They scored 15 to 0. E. Colrnan's 10 for the trophy and in the consolation defeated the two Goderich rinks, Captain Sheppard's by 12 to 10 and Dr. Hunter's by17 to 12. J. Weir's, Seaforth, rink won from thein, the score standing 8 to 17. Mr. Forres- ter's rink consisted of ..-}I. C. Brewer, Dr. Turnbull, Dr. Brace, D. A. Forres- ter. Mr. J. Johnston's rink defeated Captain Sheppard's by 25 to 8 for the trophy but was defeated by Coleman's rink by 21 to 14. They played once In the consolation, but were defeated by Mr. Jackson's rink, 14 to 5. This rink included the following players : D. McCorvie, J. W. Irwin, J. T. IIarland, J. Johnston. in the singles Mr. John- ston stood third but as there were only two prizes he failed to secure one. He defeated Jackson of Seaforth, 13 to 0, and Wells of London, 13 to 10, but was defeated by Weir, Seaforth, 14 to 13. t cord. 3.50 - 50e. T. JACKSON, CLOTHIER, t�• AND HATTER yTatablfshee 1854. Victoria ,Dlook, Clinton, A Large Insurance Policy. Mr. J. Taylor, representing the Mer- chants' Insurance Company, wrote up a $63,500 policy on the Doherty Organ Factory this week, the largest without a doubt ever secured in Clinton. Mr. Taylor also took a $1000 risk in Blyth, so that it may easily be said that the week has so far been rather successful Mr. C. Baker Adds An Air -Motor. On Monday Mr. Jacob Miller finished the erection of an air -motor for Mr.' Charles Baker, of the 10th concession, Goderich township, who (DOW has a complete system of water -works for house, stables and sheds, which will effect a saving of labor and an economy of time. Mr. Miller has other motor contracts on hand or on the way. Seale & Hoover Are Busy. Sento & Hoover are having a busy season. They put in place seven jobs this week and received the following orders :--A Red Swede monument to he erected over the grave of Ben Tom- linson in Clinton cemetery, a red gran- ite to the memory of Geo. Watt, Hul- lett, to be erected in Burns' cemetery, and a handsome stone ordered by Step- hen Gray to be placed upon his wife's grave in (rod's Acre at Blyth. Mr. Terry Playing Great Cricket. Mr. Terry is evidently in his usual good form this season. At Monday's rnal.ch at Montreal he made a score of sixty-three and not out. But double figures are the usual thing with Mr, Terry and centuries not uncommon. In a match against All United States he ran up one -hundred and twenty- five runs. This we believe was his highest score and very seldom equalled in the history of the gauze this side the Atlantic. The citizens of Clinton will be pleased to hear of Mr. Terry's con- tinued good playing. News From French Castle. Alexander Foster has been admitted to French Castle. He came from Stan- ley township and is seventy eight years of age. John Harvey, one of the first inmates and who has been affect- ed with paralysis, met with a mishap a short time since and is now totally helpless. Governor French left yes- terday with the idiot David Brindley, who is by this time housed, where lie should have been long since, at the Orilliaa Institute. Another arrival is expected this week, a poor fellow from McKillop who is to undergo an opera- tion. The Glass Family Give Cohcerts. " • The Glass Family, consisting of five Yunigbiris and their pater, gave con- certs in the town hall Monday and 'Tuesday evenings, but owing to the heated state of the atmosphere and poor advertising the audiences were not on either occasion equal to the merits of the entertainments. The girls, the youngest is eight years of age and the eldest seventeen, are entirely self-taught, says Mr. Glass, and cer- tainly display considerable talent whether as vocalists, elocutionists, dancers, or in the use of stringed in- struments. They give a clean and 'pleasing programme and are worthy of patronage. J. L. Doherty a Developer of Ouldeless l'acers. As a developer of guideless pacers Mr. J. L. Doherty is a pronounded success. It was J. L. who first de- monstrated what "Gaideless Tommy" was capable of and now he has brought "Guileless Tommy H." to the front and expresses himself as quite confi- dent that the record will be his this fall, Mr. Doherty brought three of his string up front his Hensall training stable on Saturday and 011 Monday went on to Wingham to remain till after the race meeting next week. His string consisted of Tommy H., Bay Frank, owned by Grey Bros. of Mit- chell and entered for the 2.24 pace, and Fred H., entered for the 2.85 pace, the property of Fred hart, Brucefield. Fred 11. has gorse a half in 1.118. An Exciting Runaway. A runaway horse caused excitement 'upon the Gore Monday evening. it took fright up Ontario St. and dashing madly down that thoroughfare swerved at the corner of Alpert and the buggy striking the telephone pole at Gilroy & Wiseman's both occupants, Miss Lizzie Dale and Johnny henry were thrown nut. They fell upon the stone pavement, hut very fortunately neither received much injury beyond a severe shaking up. As the buggy struck the pole the horse was partly thrown when it was seized bye a couple of citizens close at hand, but the bridle having become broken the animal shook itself clear and started off on the run again. Only a few yards distant it collided with Mr. Geo. Levis' buggy and twisted its axle, but this obstruction pulled it from its own vehicle, which sustained little damage, and it was away once more only to ho captured on a hack street. This is the third timo.this Tuckersmith horse has run away in a fortnight or 60. On its previous flight Miss Lizzie Henry was thrown from the buggy and had her collar bone fractured. Tuckersmith Won't Join. The directorate of the Tuckersu>ith Agricultural Society have decided not to join the Hullett Society in the hold- ing of a joint Exhibition in Clinton this fall, but instead to devote their energy to a one -day's out -door, all - stock Fair. An Accident. Master Kelsy Wall, son of Madam Wall, had his wrist badly cut by glass while playing at Mr. H. R. Walker's Monday afternoon. But no serious in- jury was sustained and in a few days this active lad will be scampering about as lively as ever. Dr. Gunn Performs An Operation. On Tuesday afternoon Dr. Gunn, assisted by Drs. Turnbull and Shaw, performed the trepanning operation upon Mr. John Baker, of Goderich township, removing a portion of the skull to relieve the pressure upon the brain. The operation was a successful one, though Mr. Baker is still in a pre- carious condition and a fatal termin- ation is feared. The Bowlers Will Visit London. Two rinks of bowlers go to London next Tuesday, Mr. .1. Johnston's and Mr. D. A. Forrester's, the latter con- sisting of the old invincible quartette, viz., \V. Jackson, J. P. Tisdall, G. D. McTaggart and D. A. Forrester. This has always been Clinton's strongest rink and nuany's the victory they have won in competition with the bowlers of other towns and the cities. Big Potatoes This Season. Mr, McGill called in on Saturday with some early potatoes that he had dug that morning and though; he bas had many years experience with tub- ers he does not remember ever' having seen them larger, if as large, as those of this season. The name of this par- ticular variety Mr. McGill could not in- form us, having procured the seed. while on a visit down at Peterhoro last winter. The Granolithic Has Gone Wrong. The granolithic walk lard in front of the market square has failed to come up to expectation, as much to the disappointment of Mr. Howe as those who believe in this system of pave- ments. Mr. 1-lowe's work elsewhere in the town has been good and its short- coming in this contract he ascribes to the sand used, However, as he will make the jot -Ca good one before he leaves it. there is no cause for eom-• plaint. except because of the long delay. The Pea Crop Frosted. The pea crop is badly injured several places by last week's frost. in In Hullett a number of fields have been cut for fodder. The corn also suffered, but not to the same extent. Married Men Challenge All Comers. The following members of the base- ball club which when an active organi- zation won so many victories for Clin- ton, have thrown out a challenge to all comers for a match next Tuesday after- noon in Recreation Park ;-W. Har- land, c, J. B. Hoover, p., Dr. Agnew, 1st b., W. P. Spalding, 2nd b., B. J. Gibbings, 3rd b., L. Kennedy, s.s., Dr. Shaw, Lf., Geo. Barge, c.f., John John- ston, r.f. Miss Newcombe n Was Married YesterdaY . Miss Gertrude Newcombe, second daughter of Rev. H. A. Newcombe, was i united in marriage yesterday to Dr. J. S. Evans of Tiverton. The knot was tied by the bride's father, assist- ed by Rev. G. S. Evans of Montreal College and a brother of the groom. The ceremony was performed in the presence of only the immediate friends of the contracting parties, and Mr. and Mrs. Evans left by the a. in. north - boned train for their home in Tiver- ton. The Plebiscite Union Appoint Organizers. A meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the West Huron Plebiscite Union was held in (lodesieh on Monday last. There was almost a full at- tendance of the members of the com- mittee, the President, Afr. Jas. Scott, in the chair. Mr. W. S. Lawrence, Clinton, was appointed secretary -treas- urer. Mr. It. \V. McKenzie, of Gode- rich, reported having attended a meet- ing of the Provincial Couventiou and dish of the Dominion Alliance in Tor- onto where plans were laid for the carrying on of the campaign, distribu- tion of literature and other matters relating to the canvass. Messrs. J. 1', Gregory and J.Courtice were appointed organizers to act, in conjunction with the secretary, they being under con- trol of nn emergency committee con- sisting of the president, vice-president and secretary -treasurer. Preparations are being made for a thorough canvass of the constituency. St. Paul's S. S. Plonk. The Church of England S. S. held their annual picnic on Tuesday in Bay- field again this year, but thought they would try the village side of the river, as Mi. J. C. Miller of the River Hotel offered them the use of the park next Dr. Wood's office. Every one voted it a charming spot for a picnic. After dinner a series of games and races were run off near Mr. Marks' cottage and both old and young entered into the fun with zest. About 3.30, through the kindness of Mr. Miller, the govern- ment tug, with the yachts belonging to Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Dressler, were placed at the disposal of the party and about eighty or more enjoyed a very enjoyable hour on old Huron. At 4.80 the keys of the dressing rooms belong- ing to Messrs. Marks and Miller were handed thein and many had a dip in the lake, some for the first time. Al- together it was the best picnic ever held by St, Paul's.

Rev's Stewart and Pocock exchanged pulpits last Sunday evening. , "Shorty" Cantelon is spending the`ss. s, best ,part of this week in the cherry orchards of Colborne. Cantelou Sr. Wallis and Chas. Reid made shipments of live stock from Clinton station this week. The G: T.-I<t. yards are full of empties for which there is now little demand, pending the opening of fall trade. Cherry buyers report the crop short in all the townships except Colborne from whence they are getting their best yarieties. Mr. D. Barge has taken possession of his new residence on the Huron Road. The ballots in connection with the West Huron election are being inspect- ed and selected at Osgoode Hall, says the Toronto Star. The anthem given by the choir of Ontario St. Methodist church last Sun- day evening was "Rock of Ages" and as solo Madame Wall sang "Calvary." The S. A. barracks was crowded last-"-- -- Sunday ast"^"- Sunday everting to hear Captain Keeler relate his experience, of tramp life. Clothed in hobo attire he told•his story in entertaining style. Painter' Popp has been at work upon the corridors of the Rattenbury House and by graining and painting has so brightened there up that this always popular house looks more neat and -cosy than before. Mr. G. T. Stewart, secretary of the Su Inmerhill cheese factory, has sold the make for the last half of June at 7A cents per pound, an advance of one- eighth over last sale. The cricketers End it almost impossi- ble to get on a snatch with any of the surrounding towns, a vastly different state of affairs from a few years since when there was aL live Club in nearly all of the towns and villages in Huron. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Watts, both musicians, entertained the members of the Glass family after the concert Monday evening. Mrs. Watts, who is one of Clinton's most skilful violinists, was much pleased by the clever playing of the young ladies composing the company. The "Ohl Sports" have arranged for an outing at Hayfield this afternoon. The programme will undoubtedly in- clude a. game upon the diamond, bache- lor's vs. benedicts, perhaps, though the former rather object, fearing defeat. however, the O. S's have always had a good tone and are looking for a repe- tition of it. The ladies of the Ontario St. Metho- dists church have been discussing the resenting of the church, and went so far as to get estimates, but action has been deferred for the time being. As what they undertake they almost int ariably accomplish, the proposed im- provements are only a question of a ) few short months, Tramps Will Steer Clear Of Clinton. A fortnight or so's continuaa.nceof the vigorous treatment, dealt out to the hobos this past week will cause the tramps to give Clinton a wide berth, a c0llsrlmlllatiOi1 most devoutly to be wished for. The third of the fraternity was taken into custody by the Chief yesterday morning while he was enjoy- ing a bountitul spread of bread and butter, jam and coffee which a kind- hearted matron whose eympathy, they had been playing upon on Albert S . t , had made ready for him. The fellow claimed to be suffering frorn a burned leg, but being convinced that he was only humbugging the ,Chief escorted him to the lock-up and called in Dr. Shaw to snake an examination. The Dr. found that limns did exist but the wounds had every appearance of being self-inflicted. However, it was decided not to prosecute the fellow if he loft',town which he did as speedily as possible. He is big and fat and looks as if he took as much pleasure out of life as the average man,
