A YOUNG MAN FELL TO THE 3 WALK. ' People Expected His Feet--He Suffered Only a Few Scratches. Thomas Tucker, a young man em: ployed by aklerman John Meleod in 7he construction of (wo new stores on Brock street, has much to be thank- ful for. He certainly must have been born on a lucky day. About ten o'clock this morning be was engaged in tearing down a portion of the stone front of McKelvey & Birch's store, ad- joining the wo new buildings. He was up over twenty-five feet from the granolithic pavement, and in loosen ing a sione it broke in two; the break being unexpected, the impetus threw Tucker forward and he fell headlong to the pavement below, followed by the piece of stone, weighing about twenty-five * pounds. Everybody expected to see the man's brains dashed out, or his body smash- ed, and they were astonished to see him arise and walk away. He '© sat down for a few minutes to recover control of his nerves, and then an nounced his readiness to return | to work. An examination of his body revealed the fact that the only in juries received were a few seratches on the right breast, not sufficient to cause the blood to flow. He was taken into Wade's drug store where these were attended to. Tucker eer tainly had a miraculous éscape, and he could not repeat the act without meeting instant death. After be had recovered from the fright he looked up ut the piace from which he fell and remarked to alderman McLeod : "Say, it does not take a fellow long to come down by that route." Will Fight Payment. The e¢laim of $900 made hy the county council against the city for renovating the county court house, is still ereating no end of intgrest among the members of the city coun- il. A member of the latter body sa- ted this morning that the city clerk was sent to the court house to pro: cure 8 copy of the by-laws of the (ounty council, but was unable to do so, being informed by both the county clerk and treasurer that such was not available; by-laws passed by council are written in the minutes and no further effort is made to*keep a convenient record of them. The al derman in question says it is next to impossible to look up any county hw law, they not being. kept in consoli- dated form. The city will not pay the account charged unless compelled to do so. "For instance,' he remark: ed, "it cost 8105 for linoleum for the floor of the office of the clerk of the seace, Mr. Whiting. Of what benefit is that to the city." Purchased A Farm.

An important gles on the Grand Trunk railway will go into effect on April 1st, which will result in about twenty-five locomotive firemen losing their positions:- Engineers who have not put in over two years will have to go back firing again. The order has been made on account of the de mand of the old engineers for more time. The large engines, which are almost exclusively used in this sec tion, are double crewed. One crew takes a trip on one day and the other crew the next. This means only three trips a week for each crew. The old engineers demand six days a week and in order to give them this the or der was made. Want A House Surgeon.

The Westminster company has pur chased The Presbyterian Review (pub- lished in Toronto since 1884), and it will be at once incorporated with the Westminster. "The Review" - was founded by the Presbyterian news company, of which W. Mortimer Clark, K.C., was president, and been under the editorship of George H. Robinson, Alexander Fraser, Rev. D. CC. Hossack, and more recently Rev, R. C, Tiwb. The Westminster, in its sixth year, began as a wonthly magazine, and Rev. J. A. Macdonald vesigpned the pastorate of Knox church, St. Thom: as, to become its editor. In 1897, it absorbed the 'Canada Presbyterian," which had been published in Torento for nearly thirty years, and since then it has been a weekly magazine news. paper. "The Presbyter," of Toronto, continuing "The Northern Preshyter jan," of Collingwood, was also incor: porated with The Westminster, gud in 1900. *"The Western Presbyterian," of Winnipeg, was taken over. The West minster took possession of the west, and has now an office in Winnipeg with an associate editor and business representative. The addition of . the subseription lists and approved fea- tures of The Presbyterian Review will still further strengthen The Westmin- ster. The increase the cost of paper, and the marked advance in the cost of printing, together with the imposi- tion of newspaper postage, have made it growingly difficult for the Jow priced papers to hold their own. The consolidation of several papers cover: ing the same field, as has been done by The Westminster, makes not only for economy but for efficiency. Rev. JF. Macdonald is editor-in-chief, and his associate editor is Rev. . Haddow, formerly of Watford: The Westminster has not only taken a foremost place in Canadian journal ism, hut in ability, workmanship, and all other respects, suffers nothing in comparison with the best religions weeklies published in the United Sta- es.

For Americans the contest this year posscsses unusual interest from the fact that two members of the Oxford créw are Americans, the sons of Jom G.

Both crews took their final practice spin to-day, several thousand peo- ple, a goodly number belonging to the betting fratermity, turning out to form their final judgments on the per- formances of the two crews. "Through- out the week the Cambridge men have been in excellent form, although the Oxonians have had the benefit of the most celebrated coaches; and as a result the light blues are slightly the favorite in the betting.
