'acations Out Of Order. The ouneil - has appointed Mr. Campbell its 'adviser in connection with the power, | ad plants, for another year, an ¥: 1¢-handidjourned for a couple of months without having definite idea a8 to what he isto do or can do respecting the necessary im- provements. When Mr. Campbell was employed in August, 1904, it was intended that the works should be greatly . overhauled, that they should be organized for a better, more economical and more pro; fitable service. A by-law was suggest! od; one calling for great changes in both the gas and electric plante. It was giveh but one reading. Then 3 "Hy Tit was held over, and was not again heard of. With the election of a new council there appeared to be new plans, Some- thing less pretentious in the way of a by-law was talked of. Later it was decided hy the light, 'heat -and power committee 'that certain gas mains and connections would be laid, and' that the cost of them would be met out of money to be raised by debentures, is- sued, like the water debentures, and upon representations that the revenue from the investment would' be equal to the interest set forth in the statutes, An acepunt for. the money already in- vested under this head has been made out, and sent to' the lieutenant-gover- nor-in-council, in due form, and it is understood that there is some doubt about its approval, Failing to pass the lieutenant-governor : there will be no escaping the appeal t6 the people which should have been Thade in the first place and before hig work vax doue, Supposing the pediple now re fuse to give their consent ? The -ex- penditure has been incurred. and it must be met. The earnings of the gas plant will eventually provide the funds, but in the meantime the bank will supply them, 'as a loan or oy draft, and the consumers of ras will be taxcel for a burden that should not 'be laid upon them. = At the same time the people who want gas on streets where pipes have not been laid eannot get it because there ix no well-defined plan to lay be- fore the people and no way visible for the extensions which are qeeded. At a recent meeting of the council it was reported that the committee had under consideration a proposal it | would presently submit, but when a by-law was referred to in committee it was allowed to pass without any re- commendation. Now, during the vacation, nothing can be done. Later, a by-law may be | submitted, and it may pass, but fall will be on, and street excavations can- not He undertaken. The improved ser- vicecavill, pe a consequence, be defer- red, and Mr. Campbell will be 'mark- ing time. It is not a good experience. Jt does pot give evidence of business tact and ability.

By this time Italian laborers heard the shooting, and the two miscreants made off, having failed in their ob- ject. Mr. Lytle was taken 'to Sher brooke, and hig wounds dressed, and he then came on to Montreal to have the shot extracted. It -was only by good luck and bad shooting that he escaped with hig tife. < One Italian has already been arrested, and it is ex- pected that the other two will soon be caught. hts An Malian foreman. who accompan- ied Lytle, was also shot in the leg.

SYDENHAM FISH STORIES. a 'Big Catchés Both in Size and Number. Sydenham is petting its quota of tourists and visitors, and they are increasing every year. The hotels are filling up as well as the cottages, and private residences, and quite a few come from distant points. At the American hotel, of which John Hogan is proprietor, the fol lowing guests are registered : George Hawley, James Huntington, C. J.

FIRE AT YARKER ; A Traction Engine Got Place Into : Trouble. Yarker came pear having a serious time Wednesday aftemoon, A- traction engine, trying to climb the steep hill passing the Homerite church, piled on more wood, and took off the hood that kept down the sparks, and the result was that 'several sparks alight- on the roof of the church, and set it on fire. This was just at {he time the trains were at the junetion, and the volumes of smoke issuing from the roof were first noticed by the en- gineer, who blew a fierce whistle, and assembled the bucket brigade. The church contents from below were re- moved, -but the ladies of the church lost a lot of clothing upstairs, There is no insurance, and the church people bad only recently made many improve- ments. 'The villagers had to work very hard to save the school house, and other adjacent property, and in spite of their efforts several other places were seen to issue smoke, and it was not long before a couple of houses near together were in flames "across the river. Fortunately for the village these last two were on the outskirts. and the breeze was away from the village which, 'with the hard work of the volunteers was all that saved: it from destruction. It is but another lesson of the ne- glect of villages to provide any kind of fire protection, A good ladder and a few paile of water applied when first Seen wonld have saved the church. Yarker, like Sydepham, lies under high hills, with abundance of water close by, and a reservoir served bv a wind- mill, would afford not only ample fire protection; but could hécome a water works service to the villagers. Not fven a strong. hook and cable is to be found in any of these villages to pull down a hal-burnt building, later report says that B.. 8. O'Laughlin's new residence, and Mrs. Babeock's residence were on fire, but were promptly extinguished. But the worst was to come; far away across the river, far from the scene of the fire, sparks ignited the barn of Henry Walker. It was soon a mass of flames; the danger to the schoolhouse being past, all ran to the new seene of action, when the furniture from H. Walker's and R. Curl's residences was hurriedly ~ carried out, for they t00, were a prey to the flames. By dint of hard work the homes of William €arroll and Jeremiah Gilli: gan were saved, also Oray Lee's barn. LR. Curl had no insurance, and there was no insurance on the church. The house where il, Walker lived was own. ed by Capt. Montgomery, Kingston. R: Curl's residence was built last year, -- CLOSE OF BRIGHT LIFE. The Death of Very Popular Young Lady. The death on July 12th, of "Mos: sie" English, daughter of James Eng- Tish, Pittshurg, is deeply. sorrowed, Hers was a life of much promise, and being of a bright disposition, she made many friends, who feel that by hér death the world is sadder and poorér. Educated at the Kingston Collegiate Institute, she qualified as a teacher, and gave three years of useful service to a school near Battersea. Looking for a larger sphere of service, she en- tered as nurse-in-training at the city hospital, Worcester, Mass. A bad fall incapacitating her for duty temporari- ly; she resigned and returned home. Having recovered rapidly, with appar- tently no ill effects, she resumed her vocation of teaching and was engaged at Sharoton, where she remained until 'August last. During the holidays she suffered an attack of what seemed like rheumatism or sciatica, and was re- moved to the Kingston General Hos 'pital, where her case baffled the phvsi- cians, All indications, however, point to the accident at Worcester. ae the origin of the trouble, which has had such a sad issue. There baine no or ganic disease, her life simply burned out, under intense pain. In few lives has there been so much sunshine, but rarely has so brief a life experienced fo much suffering. Her former school friend, Miss Heater Lovick, was the gran in attendance, and she with the amily did al, that love could inspire, bnt to no avail. Rev, Dr. Crummy, a tried friend, assisted by the nastor, Mr. McQuarrie. officiated at the sad servioe, at the home, after which. the long procession started for beautiful Cataraqui. --_---- ARRANGING TERMS With Portsmouth Council About the Street Railway. The Portsmouth council will likely reach terms with the street railway company as to the repairing of the streets. There was a conference last night between W. F. Nickle and H.W, Richardson and the council, with John L. Whiting, K.C., as village advisor, The councillors were willing to keep the crossings and approaches in order but did not wish to have the indem- nity clause in the agreement runged. This clause made the co npuny diable for accidents on its line. Finally it was proposed to agree to terms as to! thi grading and repairing of the line and another meetifg will be hell next Tuesday to complete the new agree ment. For Children's Good. 8. M.
