Former Resident Dead. By a Seattle paper, we notice that Mr. Lewis John Brace, one of the early residents of Wingham, died in Seattle recently, of apoplexy, aged70. We understand that in 11'inghain's early days he kept the Royal hotel, where the Bank of Hamilton now stands. Ho removed to Washington Territory in 1882, and engaged in lum- bering. A widow and seven children survive him. Married is Manitoba. A wedding took place at Dauphin, Man., on Monday of this week, in which many of the young people of Wingham will be interested. The bride was Miss Florence Park, daugh- ter of Mr. Halsey Park, formerly of town, and the groom was Mr. Nichol- son. Florence has many friends here who will wish her many years of hap- py married life. Mr. and Mrs. Nichol- son will take up their residence at Dapphin.

A special meeting of the Town Council was hell on Tuesday everting, at the request of the School Board. All the members wore present except Conn. Hanna. Dr. Irwin and other members of the H. School Board were present, to ask the Council to provide the money necessary for the building of the High School. Plans had been prepared and due economy . with the result that one of the most up-to-date High School buildings in the Province would be erected. High School roasters had pronounced the plans "perfect." On motion of Conn's Nicholson and McDonald, a By-law will be prepared, providing for the issue of debentures amounting to $15,000, for the building of a High School, debentures to run for thirty years. The Mayor reported that an agreement had been made by the Executive committee with Howson, Harvey and Broclebank, for the sur- plus water, for $400 per annum, the firm to build the fume and keep it in repair, the Town to have full control of the water. On motion of Coun's Bennett and McDonald, the arrange- ment was approved, and an agreement will be prepared accordingly. The Council then adjourned until Wednes- day evening, then to pass the By-law to raise the money for the High School. The Bee Hive. The Bee Hive Dry Goods Co. will open up a complete stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, Mens Furnishings, etc., in a few days.

McDonald, District Passenger Agent, Roost 808, Union Station, Toronto, Salary Increased. Citizens of Wingham will be pleased to hear that Rev. Win. Lowe, former- ly of Wingham, is succeeding in his' new field of labor. The recent Easter Vestry meeting was very satisfactory. The congregation showed their appre- ciation of his services by increasing Iris salary one hundred dollars. Mr. Lowe is a persevering, faithful worker, and the longer tho people enjoy his services, the more they will appreciate his labors. The Advance is pleased to hear of his success. Wireless Telegraphy. This wonderful invention is making progress, According to officers of th DeForest Wireless Telegraph system, 572 words were flashed across the At- lantic ocean from Coney Island to the coast of Ireland, a distance of 3,200 utiles, without the use of cables, wires, or any other medium than the atmos- phere. This transatlantic achieve- ment is regarded ars marking the greatest forward step yet taken in the development of telegraphy without wires. Heretofore the longest dis- tance reached was between Coney Island and Colon, Panama ; stations, 2,100 miles apart. The 20th century will be one of wonderful achievement, evidently. A, orae Sale. Bros. Bros. have decided to dis- pose of their entire stable of speed horses, and next Monday will consign thein to the Canadian Horse Ex- change, Toronto, where they will be sold by auction on Thursday, 26th inst The string comprises nine, as foll ws :-Huron Chief, Brown Geld- ing, Parker, Saracen, Bourbon 13., Miss Saranac, Don. J. Kelly, Bryson Boy and Fred. E. The sale is render- ed necessary by a proposed dissolution of partnership of the first. One thou- sand catalogues of the horses have been circulated, and the sale is an- nounced in Toronto daily papers. Information may be obtained from Beattie Bros., Wingham. Water Wanted. Although the addition to our 'Water- works system have only been recently made, a considerable number of citi- zens have expressed a desire to use Town water, for sanitary purposes, etc., etc., and two petitions have al- ready been presented to the Town Council. It is evident that some equitable method of dealing with these will have to be devised. Some of our citizens happen to live on streets traversed by water -mains al- ready laid, and these mains will be paid for by general taxation to meet the debentures as they fall due. These citizens can connect their resi- dences with the mains at a minimum of expense. Other citizens, and per- haps the largest proportion are not so fortunate; the mains do not pass their houses. To obtain Town water, they must petition the Council to extend the mains along their street, and wait until the Council is able (or see fit) to grant their request. Possibly then, they must pay a frontage tax to cover cost of laying the mains. Yet this would scarcely be fair, when other citizens have no such expense to meet. On the other hand, if the ' Council make all the extensions that may be asked for in a year, on the general taxation principle, there is danger of an undue increase in taxes. That some just and equitable system must be devised is evident. Tho frontage tax would scarcely be fair, when citi- zens on the lines of the mains have only to pay the cost of connections. Bdmaster Leaves. Mr. Jas. Duncan, lately Bandmas- ter of the Wingham Band, has gone to Collingwood, where he has secured a situation, and has an engagement to lead the Collingwood Ba ndj'Re has brought the Wingham Banc{ to a degree of efficiency seldom excelled in a town this size, and it is to -day an organization that is a credit to the town. Airs. Duncan and family will remain in Wingham for a month yet. Prior to Mr. Dunean's departure, the Band presented him with a purse of money, accompanied by the follow- ing address :- To Me. Jas. Duncan We have learned with regret that you are about to remove from Wingham to Collingwood, and feel that before your departure we should give some expression of our friendship and esteem, AS members of Wingham Citizens' Baud, iu view of the fact that it was through your efforts that this Band was organized and has,gain- ed. tho reputation it now enjoys, for which your painstaking perseverance deserves the highest cotnutendetion. We ask you therefore to accept this small token, knowing you will ap- preciate the spirit in which it is given, more than the gift itself. Signed on behalf of the Band, Chas, H. Green, Secretary. Mr. Duncan thanked the members of the Band for their kindness, and ex- pressed satisfaction at knowing that his efforts had been appreciated by the Band and also by the public. He wished the Band continued success, and also hoped the new Bandmaster would also receive encouragement and be successful. Eon.

V'i'e have not full particu- lars, but, so far as we can ascertain, Jas, Barton, son of 0nstavus Barton, was chopping on the farm of Aft'. Mar- shall, near by, when a tree ho was felling, fell sideways and struck the young man, breaking one of his legs in two places and otherwise severely braising and inlaying him. It was a nau'r'ow escape from sudden death, and the accident will lay the injured young num aside for some tanto. .Properties Purchased. G. A. Newton of Toronto, formerly of 1Vinghaun, has disposed of his pro- perty, consisting of two houses and three lots on Leopold street, to Amos Tipling G. C. Hanna was the pur- chaser of Mrs. Gowdy's lot and brick house on Martha street, and has re- sold the sante property to Richard Tennant. Richard Sharpe has sold his (lositable stone cottage property on North street to A. Shields of East Wawanoslr .These transfers have been nae throngh the agency of J. H. Chisholm, Real Estate Agent, Wingham. Judge Barron's Lecture. Wingham was favored on Tuesday evening by a visitand address by His Honor, Judge Barron, of Stratford, and for this visit the citizens are in- debted to Mr. Spotton, Principal of Wingham Business College. An in- teresting program of music prefaced the address, Rev. D. Perrie presiding. A selection by the S. A. orchestra, violin solos by Mr. Gibb, vocal selec- tions by Miss Griffin and Mr. Cline, and a duet by the Masters Harold were given and well received, Miss Barclay, of the Business College, mak- ing an excellent accompanist. His Honor then gave an interesting his- torical sketch of the Mutiny of the Bounty and settlement of Pitcairn Island. He then dwelt at some length on the prevention of tuberculosis, in which subject he is much interested. His Honor advocated no lvocatec the use of tents, and urged the citizens to provide one, ars other towns had done. The address was listened to attentively until a late hour. Lack of space prevents further reference. Font Wo :N. -Our dainty and sty- lish Shoes, Oxford and Sandals win the admiration of every lady who looks at them. All sizes and widths, $2 up to $4.-'W. J. Greer. Mat'menial Event. Riverview," the home of Mr. and Mr's. Geo. McKenzie, was the scene of 0 very interesting event on Wednes- day, the 18th inst., when their daugh- ter, Miss Sarah Eleanor, became the bride of Mr. W. H. Spedding of To- ronto. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. Perri tt one o'clock in the afternoon, an was witnessed by the irntnecliate relatives of the con- tracting parties. The bride was neat- ly and prettily attired in a pastel travelling suitand carried a shower bouquet of white roses. The bride and groom were unattended, and after the ceremony received the hearty con- gratulations of those present. After a recherche wedding luncheon, the happy couple left for Toronto, where they will reside. The bride received many beautiful presents, attesting the esteem in which she is held. Mr. Spedding is a highly respected young Maul, formerly bookkeeper in the Western Foundry, and 11e has sue- cceded in taking from our iniclst one of Winghaun's Most accomplished and esteemed young ladies. The ohl 1101110 will miss the bride's happy presence, but many sincere wishes for futcxre happiness follow the happy couple to their city house. The Advance ex- tends congratulations. Vestry Meeting. The congregation of St. Paul's Church held their Easter Vestry meeting, to take counsel for the wel- fare of the Chnrch, last Monday night, the Rector presiding, The Church- wardens' financial report was most encouraging., showing a balance of $128.00, the largest for some years. Other reports were equally satisfac- tory, the different societies having a combined balance of over $190.00. lir. C. P. Smith was elected Rector's war- den, and. Mo. J. H. Kerr, People's war- den for the corning year. Mr. Thos. Bell, who wished to be relieved of office, was tendered a very earnest vote of thanks for his six years' work. Other office -bearers were elected as follows :-Vestry clerk, Dr. Holloway; delegates to Synod, J. Nethery and C. J. Hollister ; Sideslnell, A. J. Alder- son, C. 3. Hollister, Alex. 13. Porter, C. W. Inglis, 1:. Nash, C. G. Van - Stone, .T. E. McGuire end .1. H. Kerr; Auditors, A. E. Smith and C. N. Grif- fin. A motion was unanimously pass- ed conveying renewed assurances of loyalty and support to the Rector. Votes of thanks were tendered the oflleces, the organist and the choir. A. proposal to have a surpliced choir WAS presented to the meeting but was postponed to future meeting. An admirable spirit of harmony continues to exist, unci the Church looks for- ward to a most successful year. The Easter collection amounted to $10:1.00. A congregational "At Horne" will be held within it cowls of woke, $1,00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Cold Storage Plant. Dr. Chisholrn, M. P., has been in- teresting himself very much in the Cold Storage question. Ho believes that if a system were established that would preserve perishable products of the farmer from the producer's hands, until they reached the consumer, the farmers of Huron county (and indeed of all Ontario) wonld profit immensely. Take the apple product alone ; thou- sands of dollars worth of these go to waste annually in Huron county. During the discussion of the question in the House last session, Dr. Chis- holm gave an instructive address on the question, for which he received many words of approval, from both sides of the House. At present, how- ever, it does not appear likely that the Government will take the matter up. But the Advance is informed that a ntintber of capitalists arc, plan- ning a system of Cold Storage that proposes to receive perishable pro- ducts into buildings adapted for t110 purpose, and then convey than by means of refrigerator cars and steam- ers to the markets of the old land. This will require not only capital, but some time must elapse before all the arrangements can be made. However, it is a fact that plans are being made with this object in view. Dr. Chis- holm informs the Advance that he has seen an outline of the scheme, and part of it proposes a Cold Storage plant to be located in Wingham, at an estimated cost of $35,000. Should these plans materialize, the fanners of this section of country would have no difficulty in having such products as butter, eggs, apples, etc., preserved and laid down in the old country mar- kets in the very best possible condi- tion. There is no better point in Hur- on sonny for the location of a Cold Storage plant, than Wingham, but farmers are not likely to make a move in that direction themselves, after the experience some of them had a few years ago. The system must be com- plete, taking the products from the producer and giving them to the con- sumer in good ]marketable condition. Anything m that Dr.Chishohn uc y acan do to benefit tate farmers of Huron coun- ty will be done ; of that we may rest assured. Miss Fisher was in Toronto last week, selecting the latest designs in Wall Paper, to be on exhibition next Wednesday evening and Thursday. Miscellaneous Brevities.

Another cheque to which the name of Dr. Chisholm bad been placed with- out his knowledge or consent, turned up at the Bank last week. The per, son, who thus uses the doctor's good name, is evidently getting bolder. He began with $23, and in this the third attempt, he has reached the sum of $200. As this last cheque was cash- ed in Carberry, it appears that the rascal is working his way westward. As soon as the cheque arrived here, a telegram was sent stating that it was a forgery. We fancy that the in- dividual will not have the opportuni- ty of cashing cheques much longer, for the authorities are after hint. Tried To Escape. Geo. Fletcher of Ripley, who was sentenced for two years to the Central prison, attempted to escape while in Walkerton jail. He loosened two boards from the floor in the vicinity of the ventilator and had dug a hole in the earth almost to the foundation of the gaol and large enough for an ordinary man to stand and work in. In the course of a day or two he would have dng his way out of the gaol, as he was making rapid progress when the act was discovered. The large tin lid of his bncket was utilized by Fletcher ars a shovel and the speed with which he burrowed into the earth would have done credit to a veteran ditch digger. The prisoner was instantly moved into the upper story of the gaol, where he was kept, until he was taken to the Central.
