This time the city of Guelph in moving in the matter, and apparently moving with energy.as sho*n by the foll- owing despatch which appeared in the dailies on Thursday last : Guelph, Oct. 22. At >i ^pecial meeting of the City Council to-nisilit a frrong res- olution ws> passed dealing with the i[ues tion of the building of nil electric radial line to follow the H yJm puiver transmis- sion line from Hespeler through Guelph to K!r i, Fergus, Arthur, and connecting .' :-h Mount Forest. The full text of the recommendation of the rn'lway and M.tuu. factures Committee was as follows: ' Your committee recommend that the Hydro-electric Power Commission of Ont. be requested on behalf of the Municipal Council of the city of Guelph to iquire in- to, examine, investigate and report upon the cost of constructing nd operating an electric railway from tfecpelef, connect- ing with Puglmch Like, through Guelph to Etora, Fergus and Arthur, and also from Arthur connecting with Mount Forest, through the Beaver Valley to Meaford or Thornbury.the municipalities the inhabitants of which will be served by such railway, thu population of each of such municipalities as shown by the last enumeration thereof by the assessors, an estimate of the probable revenue from che r.uhv:ty. ami the practicability of the un- det taking and its economic v.-ilue to the localities to be served by it, ai provided for in section 3 of the Hydro-electric Railway act. This means that Guelph fully intends i get iu on the ground floor in the mat- ter, having already been fully assured by Hon. Adam Beck that thia application would have his immediate attention. The surrounding municipalities are very enthusiastic over the prospects of vetting this lino, unJ letters are being received every d iy by the City Clerk, endorsing the scheme. It is felt that this electric eystei will be most beneficial to Guelph and also to the whole surrounding district. Mr. J. W. Lyon, -i cluse friend of the "Minister of Power, "addressed the Coun- cil at some length regarding the mutter and stated th.kt he w.is prepared to back it up on tha hustings, and gxpiessed his entire confidence- in the leadership of Mr. Beck, in the project. The application will go forward at once. Killed at Owen Sound A fatal accident occurred at the Doric Cement Company's plant, Owen Sound, on Sunday morning a week ago when Mr. John Healy of 138-.J Fourth Ave. K., foremau of the milling room ut the cem- ent wni ls WHS caught in the shafting and killed almost instantly. Mr. Uealy had charge of the milling room and along with Mr. Philip Steffler, commenced the shift, as usual, at seven o'clock Sunday morning. Kvidently, he went Into the grinding room to tighten a bearing, and in order to do this, went between a pulley and a bearing. In putting tbe monkey wrench on the bearing, it slipped and threw him back against the shafting which im- mediately caught him and twisted him around it. Mr. Steltler, who was in an- other prt of the room, noticed a cloud of dust and thinking this was caused by too much cement coming into the boxes, went to shut thu feed ott'. While doing this, he saw a mitu under the pulley and immediately shut oft" the machinery. He then went into another room and got one ui tin' other men to help him to remove the injured man from beneath the mach- inery. When they took him out, they found it was Ualy, who was still alive although terribly mangled and flushed. His legs were torn from his body and nearly every bon* in the lower part of body was broken, while his ribs were all broken and crushed in. The last and only words he aid were. "Shut off the machinery." Dr. Dow was immediately summoned but when he arrived, the unfortunate man was beyond human help and died in ft few minutes. The wrench which he had been using was found a short distance awav from where ho was found . Mr. Healy ws about forty-five years of age and has been engaged in ctmtmt manufacturing for years. He was always a careful, cool-headed man and was continually cuilioniug men who worked under liini, to be careful and take no chance*.

Durham Priceville The recent rains have pur th- 1 soil in good condition fi>r plowing. The Su- gc-eu river has had very little encourage- ment from the rains yet, the water being very low. The loss of the aiil s here, which were burned ab.'itt a mouth ago. aiul the rural mail delivery seem to make the village very ipiiet, not s> many coining in since. We are glad to understand that the mills are to be rebuilt in the near future. Preparations are being made for that purpose at the present time. A shooting match on Thanksgiving Day seemed to afford sport fur a large nuiiitior o.f gun ineii, some even coming from the city to take part in it. But several crack shots, who formerly won big Iwigs of fowl, ilid not get nearly so much this year. W. L. Dixon won first prize for 2-yeir old colt. Agricultural c as.s, ;it, the fall fair here, but owing to a blunder in t' e judge's book he diil not get credit for it in thu published list.

Sanitationa fundamental necessity if the ctnal WHS ever to be built has cost $lt>,>0,164. The sale of old material, the work done for outside companies, and water rcntuls from Pnnam:i have yield- ed the I'mted States about 3100,000,000. Mr. Fred McCh'uklin of Holstein, ho sustained" severe injuries when he \\ns struck by the train at Dnnd.ilk station week iigo Friday and bud parts of buth 'eet cut off, H nuking' steady progress toward recovery. One iii'To digit was imputated on Saturday, but fr mi tho beginning it was a mrrj experiment whu'her this could be saved at ali. He is very cheerful, although medical advice states tint he will not be. abla to Kave town for three or four weeka yvt,. At Owen Sound on Wednesday last the trial of Arthur Brooks was held and he was found gui ty. Sentence was passed and the prisoner will spend tho next seven months in Central prison with hard labor It will be remembered that Brooks in company with another mill committed highway ri.boory on the uight of August :5rd, tho victim being Arthur James Lewis, a young English- man. Brooks was defended by Barrister Wright of Owen Sound while Crown Attorney Mtddlebro appeared for the prosecution. Tbe pi is. nor admitted be ing in the company of James McLean on the uiglit of the robbery bui maintained his complete innocence all through the trial. Ho stated that I hey had been drinking some on the night in iiuestion but denied hiving any part in the rub- bery. The pivotal point in the case wa the evidu'jce of Archie Black and George ArneU, tho two witnesses who were brought from the West. Both men as- sorted that they had seen Brooks and McLean together after midnight and with this statement coupled with other evidence the judge deemed i- sufficient for conviction. Mrs. Brojks appeared on the stand and ,her pleading was no doubt partly responsible for the lenient sentence. It costs tbe county ft] 50 to bring BUck and Arnett from the West to appear against Biooks. The trial of James McLem, Brooks alleged partner, is to Le held at the November assizes Review. Sixty IhonsHii d residents of Toronto signtd a petition to save the life of Char- les Gibson, a young man convicted >l murder. Preachers preached, news- papers got excited, politicians circ ulatej petitions nd intlueiu.al men took th trouble to go to Ottawa all to save oue man's life when his guilt was in doubt. Would Toronto make as much effort to avert a war which would be sure to des- troy thouusands of lives, of whose inn- ocence there could be no question. Grain Growers' Guide. W. H.
