ARB ITRATION RESUMED In Connection With the Perth Toll Road. , The arbitration in connection. with the proposed expropriation by the county council of the Kingston and Perth' toll road was resumed Wednes- day afternoon, . H. Fair was the first witness ex- amined. He was first connected with the Perth road in 1809, and assumed the management. The road was in a very poor condition throughout; and required a great deal of. repair especi- ally the lime kiln hill, some 200 loads of stone being used to fix it. The road was very narrow, badly rutted and rough. He proceeded To improve the hills first and then to shape the level, Considerable work in grading was done up to last year, when it was about completed. This entailed a large expenditure, The improvements are now just about finished and in future only the wear and tear of the road will have to be looked after. Statpments from witness' books were then taken up regarding the expense account of the road. Owing to wire fences being put up instead of the old rail ones, where the drifts were most severe in winter, witness estimated that $25 per annum would keep the road in good shape. McCallum's Hill is about the only spot where grading will be required. . During the past four years' the re- eeints of the road were, $1,476.32 for 1905; $1,494.20 for 1904; $1,493.68 for 1908; 81,531.97 for 1902, In 1902, $510, in 1903, $80, in 1904, 8720, in 1005, $720, were the dividends or four per cent, the first two years, three and one-half the third, and three per cent, the fourth year. Only one cases of damages was on record against the company, and that | only amounted to about $16 or $18, This was paid more out of sympathy than from any legal liability. The road was capitalized at $18,000, In answer to Dr. Ryan, witness stated: that $1,800 cash was not invested in the road. Under examination by T. J. Rigney, Fair stated that the stock consisted of 90D shares of $20 cach. A BOY DROWNED By Falling Off a Pier at Quebec Last Night. Quebec, June 27.--A sad drowning accident occurred in the basin last night when a boy nine year old, son of Isadore Rosseau, residing at No.25 Ramsay street, lost his life. It ap- pears that the young fellow was play- ing on some logs opposite the Quebec and Lake St. John railroad pier with a brother a year 'or so older than himself when both boys were precipit- ated into the water, The younger bro- ther sank and was drowned, but the elder managed to save himself, and at once gave the alarm. An attempt was made to resucitate the body, but with- out success, Funeral Of William Kirby. Toronto, June 27.--The funeral of William Kirby, the noted Canadian lit- terateur, took place yesterday after- noon at Niagara-on-the-Lake. Services were beld in St. Mark's church, being conducted by Rev. Canon Bull, assist- ed by the rector, Rev. Mr. Garrett. The remains were interred in the Ni- agara cemetry. There was a large at- tendance of old friends and acquaint ances, including representatives of the several historical societies, comprising the Ontario Historical 'Society, Lun' dy's Lane, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the Woman's Historical society, of To- ronto, Sweet Sugar Corn.

Few apple trees, com- ratively Speaking, are deft around ere now because of the ravages of the San Jose scale. . Strawberries are an immense crop, mainly due to the wet weather of late, which also caused the fruit to grow to unusual size. The flavor is excep- tionally fine, no better berries ever havi been grown in the Niagara fruit belt than this yean. If the weather continues fairly moist the raspberries will also be abundant as they are full of promise just now. Dry, hot weather would shrivel up the fruit and prevent growth. Goose hugties, currants, etc., will be plenti- ul. The farmers are in the midst of hay- cutting at present, and the yield per acre is very large, though a few weeks ago it looked as if the hay crop was going to be a complete fail- ure, due to dack of rain. The abun- dant moisture of late has helped the hay along wonderfully. . The same thing applies to fall wheat. The straw is short which is rather an advant- age than otherwise, farmers say, but the head is very heavy. The wet wea- ther has also greatly benefitted = the spring crops. Corn, potatoes, toma- toes, eter, all look exceptionally wel. i FARRER WRITES THE TIMES. Contrasts Canadian and U.S. Teaching of Children. London, June 27. Writing from Ot- tawa, E. Farrer, in a letter to The Tribune on education in Canada, mostly historical, upholds Laurier in regard to North-west schools, and adds : "Our experience in Canada teaches that there is no finality in educational compromises between Pro- testants and Catholics, and that com- promises between dogmatic religious instruction and secular instruction in schools, are open to the same objee- tion. "The American idea is to train children as Americans rather than as m ers of this or that denomina- tion. In Canada they are reared as Protestants and Catholics rather than as Canadians, and the constitution prevents any change." LIVELY RUNAWAY. Not An Egg in the Broken. A lively runaway down upper Earl street furnished considerable excite ment this morning. Mr. Wartelsky, a merchant, of Colébrook, was driving into town with farm produce for Gil- bert's grocery, Barrie street, when the king bolt broke, letting the waggon down to the ground. The horses dash- ed off with the two front wheels. A little boy on the waggon was thrown off and hurt, but not seriously. The horses were caught, and little damage resulted. Strange to say not one of the eggs in the waggon were broken. Waggon Jailer Resigns.

If such a state of things were true, said Col. Hughes, the offenders must have committed forgery, 'and, moreover, the officers must be cognizant. The minister of militia answered that when he say the article in ques tion he at once !drew the adjutant- general's attention thereto. Tn his op- inion the statement was very much ex- aggerated.
