RENDERED DECISION. Vigtory For Cape Vincent Shed Accident Victim. One of the last official acts of Alton B. Purker, chief Judge of the court. ol 8, lore resi, ng. was assist op in handing ong arc One of these was in the case of Mary A. Fitzgerald against the New York Cen tral & m River railroad com- pany, in which case j jury rendered a verdict of $7,500 which verdict was immediately | set aside by Justice Frank H. Hiscock, before whom the case was tried. The appellate division reversed him and the court of appeals by its decision practically made the verdict of the jury the verdict for the plaintiff. The case is of considerable importance as other actions depended to a considerable extent on the re- sult in this case. he case was one of the numerous actions brought on account of the collapse of the train shed at Cape Vincent on the afternoon of September 1th, 1595. The plaintiff was passing through the shed when it fell. The defendant's contention . was that it owed her no duty as she had no business there. She claimed that she had been to the dock to meet her father, who was ex on one of the incoming boats and that she took this route to her home, as through the train shed was a familiar one for residents of the vill going where she was going. The Selec also held that the storm was of such ferocity that it was an act of God rather than a negligent act on the part of the defendant that the shed blew down. Mrs. Fitzgerald was made a cripple for life. Where Bruin Came From. Otto Telgmann, writing to his brothér about the bear he shipped to bis little niece, Norma, says the ani- mal was taken 100 miles north of Flying Post, a Hudson Bay. fort, and when he got to Kingston, had travel- led 800 miles. His mother, who was shot, roamed in a country as beauti- ful as Southern Ontario, which Mr. Telgmann expects will be a great farming section sooner or later. The new transcontinental railway will un- veil to the world another Manitoba, with the greater beauty and advan- tages of green forests.

Brock Street Methodist church and the opera house have made a double combination. Not only are services to be held in the latter, but the two institutions are building a drain in partnership. No false modesty there. An elderly resident of Harrowsmith for thirty years moved to Kingston this year and his old neighbors pre- dicted that he would pine away through loss of country air and old companionship. He has gained eight pounds within six months. Talk about that glorious climate of Cali- fornia, in comparison ! MARINE INTELLIGENCE. What is Going on in Harbor Amd Elsewhere.

The steamer Wolvin, on her way down the lakes from Duluth, has os- tablished two more records. She load- ed 10,245 tons of iron ore in ninety minutes, including shifts. As the lat- ter required forty minutes, the actual time taken was fifty minutes. This is the largest load over taken out of Duluth and also the best time ever made. She took on an average of 100 tons a minute. Davis' with OR For Picton. The America 'arrived from Alexandria Bay this morning, en routt to Picton. A good sized crowd from this city took advantage of the outing, which was under the management of Joseph Nash. Despite the heavy sea rolling no in- convenience will, in all probability, be experienced by the passengers, as on leaving the pier the steamer rode the waves like a swan, no rolling being in evidence to the watchers on shore.

Hotels And Cottages Full--Alex- po lt, Pak oe, 0 i ons, tl Thousand Island Park is the jest the river sumer - re- sorts. The E Columbian and the are filled to their ut- most, 'and there is scarcely a cottage that has not a ta of sum- for some time. Alexandria Bay seems to have lost its former standing, and is now but lightly patronized. Vari- ous reasons arc anced for its fail- ure to draw tourists, one of which is that the Frontenac hotel on Round Island has been a very serious com- fesitoe. The Thousand Island Park as increased in ularity in spite of the prohibition 4 liquor and its strict observance of the Sabbath, for no excursion or traffic steamer can land there on Sunday. All the drinks that can be procured at the Columbian are mineral water, ginger ale, lemonade and milk, and many an unfortunate fellow who did not know the rules has ui me the pangs of want from Saturday till Monday, when he could leave the island, and get to a place where all liquids could be had. In the Tabernacle on Sunday morning, when a lady fainted, it took fifteen minutes to find a bottle of brandy, which final- ly came forth from a worthy deacon's pocket. The park has improved greatly in arance in the past two years. The shareholders are inni to acquire an eye for the beautiful, and now the grass along the roadsides is trimmed once in a while. An ody flower bed, too, is being added here and there, so that in a few years this old Methodist camping ground may compete in artificial beauty with other river resorts, none of which can compare with it for situation and na- tural beauty as a pe'k. A new walk has been laid up the main street to the Tabernacle, and the latter has been enclosed with a fence. The name Tabernacle, by the way, has been changed to the Auditorium. The only connecting link between the remote past, when the park was the camp ground for religious pil- grims, and the present day, is fur- nished by the steamer Varuna, of Belleville, which carries . excursions from the Bay of Quinte to this place on half a dozen Saturdays during the summer. The blame for filling the collection plates at the Tabernacle on Sunday, with coppers has been oft- times laid on t Canadian pil- grims, but. as the are nearly all Yankee currency, that charge does not hold good. It requires eighty dol- lars a Sunday to pay the cost of the July and August services. Big preac are sccured, and an sor- chestrh of forty pieces supplies the music. This orchestra gives a couple of concerts each week and hence they are well paid for their summer's work. So high has the water in the river been this summer, that the people have suffered considerably. When the river is a bit rough, passengers from : boats are splashed unmercifully when ! landing, having oft-times to step in water an inch ep. The wharves at the resorts are too low, and the ex- perjonee of this year will result in igher ones being built. he Yankee summer dude from the rural section has' nothing! to teach his Canadian cousin in the matter of dress. On an excursion last Satur- day, one Yankee ruralist was made up thus: Black stiff hat; black wor- sted tail coat and vest; red tie; tan boots and white duck trousers. It would be quite useless to worry that young man with pointers on mascu- line modes. There is a fecling that something has to be done to re-popularize the Thousand Island resorts. With the exception of the famous old Thousand Island Park, none of them are get- ting nearly the patronage they had eight and ten years ago. No doubt one reason is that other summer re- sorts are springing into popularity every year. As the New York Central railway and the hotels are the inter- ested parties, they will have to take hold of the matter and devise some geheme to draw more people to the is- an WANT A BY-LAW. The White Dress Brigade Holds a Meeting. Kingston, Aug. 9.--(To the Editor): At a meeting of the White Dress Bri- gade of the city, held this evening, it was unanimously voted that a depu- tation be appointed by the chairman to wait upon the city council, at its next meeting, and ask that honorable body to pass a by-law forbidding the wind to blow from any quarter but the west. In the event of having to submit such a by-law to the people we ask them to plug every chimney in town and compel the steamers plying to our port to carry their smoke to sea with them, or compel the manufac- turing concerns as well as the hoats to use smokeless wood in the interval. By having such a law passed it will correct a great nuisance and save laundry bills.--Yours truly, SECRE- TARY. y Ech -------- YACHTING NOTES. -- The Neola Too Big For Thirty- Foot Class.
