Even at the junior games there is trouble in securing a referee, and quite a number were named before both agreed on one per- son, and a better man could not have heen picked out than "Jim" Suther- land, the father of Kingston's junior hockey.

OF WORK Ses-- URGED INTQ| ACTION BY MAYOR ROSS. On the 0'Kill Street Sewer Exten- sions~The Quarry Work Under Discussion--Contractor Tait's Stbne Contract May Broken. The board of works had a meeting, yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock. There . were present, Alds. Gaskin (chairman); Free, Nickle, Craig, Gra- ham and Givens Mayor Ross was present and asked a question with reference to the stune- breaking on the city's new quarry, on Montreal street. Me said that a com- plaint had been made that only immi- grants could get work at the quarry. It was stated by the chairman and Ald. Craig that this was not the case. The quarry work was under the super- vision of Canon Starr, who was given permission to put men at work to break stone, the cify to pav $1 a toise } ONE OF NEAREST KIN. A Case.in the South to Recover Estate. | The ease is proceeding down south | of the heirs of President George Wash- | ington to recover parcels of real es-| tate given him over a century ago by the government. The claim has rested in Virginia courts for several geners- tions, and been almost overlooked. Lawrence and 8. W. Washington made the application for a revival of the suit apd appointment of aun adminis trator. Robert E. Lee, grandson of the noted southern general, has been appointed. The land claimed is in Ohio," and over 10,000 acres in extent, one part covering practically all the bounds upon which Cincinnati is built. Part was granted by the Brit. ish government .to Gen.

There CHICAGO Kingstonian Visiting Speaks of Them. Thomas H. Fleming, agent for the Seamen's Union, is home again, siter attending the lake seamen s conven- tion, at Chicago, and he reports the convention to have been a most pro- fitable one for all the delegates who were in attendance. Mr. Fleming was away two weeks, and his stay in the Windy City was a most pleasant one He was asked by the Whig regarding the nngmployed there. "Thete are thousands of men out of work," said Mr. Fléming, "and it will be spring before "there is very much doing there, so it is believed." Mr. I oming says that the problem of looking after - the families of 'the umempio; ed there, must be a very dif ficult one. The streets are lined with men every day, in search of work. The "soup kitchens' introduced into Chi- cago, were proving of great benefit to the men. The Salvation Army had charge of 4 number of these kitchens, and the others were run by the city. Morning, afternoon and evening these places were crowded, and in this way much good was done. ~better times better business further reduced our mammoth stock as we would like.
