Nickle, the following letthe-af | Prof. John Marshall, one of the city council's representatives on the board of education, was accepted, in ex- planation of the council's resolution / upon the subject. Prof. Marshall's letter was as follows" "I beg to acknowlefige receipt of your letter of the 5th inét., contain- ing Whig report of Principal Ellis' ad- dress to the Young Men's Club of Queen Street Methodist church, and the vouncil's resolution referrin~ to the same. Acting on the council's in- structions, I spoke to Mr. Ellis, who told me that in the Whig and News of February Jrd, there is a correct re- Jom of * what he said 40 the Young 's Club. Trusting that this may be satisfactory to the council." A deputation, consisting of 8S. 8. Corbett, Dr. Etherington, Dr. J. H. Bell and W. 8. Gordon, was present from the board of health to ask the council to take action towards estab- lishing a hettor garbage system. The matter' was referred to the board of works. . In connection with the Board of Works report Ald. Graham stated that the cost of removal, in order to allow the street railway to operate, was much smaller than estimated. Alto. gether it had cost only $1,023.52. Of this amount the belt line had cost $890.42, last submitting report re Light Plant Discussion. There was a short discussion ou the Light, Heat and Power committee's re- port. Mayor Ross and Ald. Nickle had several questions to ask. The un- finished condition of the gas tank was referred to. . Ald. Chown said that Mr. Campbell guaranteed a complete tank witavus one cent of cost outside the contract price. There was, therfore, no ud of the eouncil to' worry al present. Ald, McCartney contended that steel tank should never have erected until the was completed. wall half the thickness and of material would have sufficed. Ald. McCartney said that Mr. Campbeil should have gone to some expert and seen that his specifications on the con- orete wall were proper. He claimed that it would be very difficult to re- pair the wall by coating it with as phalt, . Ald. Grabam agreed with Ald. Me Cartney. He stated that the city engineer had expressed himself as not satisfied with the specifications for the conerete work, Ald. Harty thought it wae useless for thé=eouncil to discuss the matter until it had called in its experts to give advice. He suggested that fur- ther discussion be deferred until such action was taken. The council decided, on mation of Alds. Rigney and Harty, to have the city engineer and Mr. Campbell attend the next meeting and give what in. formation the council requires, - Ald. Nickle, in discussing Mr. Camp- bell's report upon the i of wer, said be wanted to get at the west price the city could supply pow. er to manufacturers and 'still make a the been concrete foundation He also held that a good profit. Ald. Givens suid that there was a schedule of rates. This was all the information he could give. Ald. Nickle wanted to know if the committee meant to place itself impossible for > THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13 1908 stou to ever secure cheap power. Do abandon all hope * He didn't Ald. Givens said he did net think Mr. Campbell's report said that the matter was hopeless. The report sub- mitted that Mr. Campbell would have to wait for further figures from the Hydro<Electric commission. Ald. Craig said he didn't think the city peed despair regarding cheap power. The quotations of the Hydro- Electric 'commission showed that there was hope fog Aingston. According to Mr. Campbell's report Kingston at present couldn't get cheaper ppwer. Ald. Craig said be didn't like that idea. Ald. Nickle asked the chairman to come prepared at next meeting to dis. cuss an improved system 4 street lighting. Ald. Chown said be didn't think it nedessary for the council at present to discuss the concrete tank foundation question. The tank was yet unfinish- ed. Mr. Campbell, the city's expert, staked his reputation that the tank would be satisfactory. Surely that was satisfactory until the tank was fully completed. 1t was deciued to withhold action on the tank and power question until next meeting. Other dusiness. A by-law was passed appointing Dr. William Gibson a member of the Board of Education, in place of Cornelius Bermingham, 'who resigned his ap- pointment. d Ald. Carson introduced a by-law re quiring that the head and feet. of poultry sold on the market be re. moved and the entrails be with. drawn. He said that ple should receive what they . pay . and not for the feet, head and entrails, which were useless. Alds. Nickle and Kent were rather opposed to the by-law. Ald. Kent said that no market in the country bad better poultry than Kingston. The proposed by-law would hamper the sale of poultry on the market. The old by-law should be retained. Mayor Ross said that various cities required the feet of poultry removed and the entrails withdrawn. It was decided to hold over theese cond reading of the by-law till next meeting. . oy On motion 'of Alds. Nickle . and Harty that a three months' leave of absence be granted Ald. L. L. Hender- son, now in Europe. Ald. McCann moved, seconded by Ald. Graham, that the offer of $145 hy George Laturney; for city lot No. 708, on the east side of Nelson .treet, be accepted. After some discussion it was decided to refer this matter to the city property committee lest Smother higher olier should be received! Phe council adjourned at 9:50 o clock. WERE TAKEN I0 JAIL. The Prisoners Held on a Serious Charge. The bail asked for in the case of the four young men arrested on Saturday night, was not forthcoming yesterday, and all were removed to the jail, with the exception of James Brickwood, who is being held to answer another charge. Brickwood spent last night in the cells. The 'Topping girl also spent last night at the police station. She ap- pears to have no place to go to, and yesterday, she was served meals at the station. It was stated last night, that she would endeavor to secure employ- ment. She remained at the police sta- tion all day vesterday, The police say that the exactness with which she gave the deseriptions of the men accused, was remarkable. A Pinkerton detective could not have given them better. In such cawes, the complainant very often is unable to give a good description and in this way the police are handicapped, How- ever, inthe tase of the Topping girl, she gave almost a full description in each case, and in this way the police were able to act promptly. The general public was not admitted to the hearing in the police court ves- terday, but as usual, a large crowd congregated, 'only to be disappointed. WAS A BENEDICTION. The Testimony of a Street Merchant. "Well, well, well I" gasped a Prin- cess street merchant on Saturday even- ing, as he turned over the pages of the Whig lying on his counter. "Henry Wilson dead ! It doesn't seem right to believe it. Do you know," he queried, turning to the Whig represen: tative, "all I have in the world 1 owe to Rev. Heory Wilson. When my foth- er first came to this country Mr. Wilson sought him dut, induced him to attend St. George's cathedral and pre- pared him fol confirmation. In fact, he red all our family for corsir- mation. His kindly ministrations and his watchfulness over ais eople will never be | ten. | have long felt that all I am, and all I have, I owe to that man." : A man who can leave such an in- fluence behind him as that can truly be said to never die. : Princess .

The Toronto Feam Was Just a Little Better--At Hall Time the Score Was 5 to l--How the Play Went. : Queen's Il was defeated by Varsity II, 10 goals to 8, in one of the best intermediate matches seen at the local rink in some time. About three hund- red people were present. The ice was in fine condition. Varsity took the lead in the first five minutes and nev- er lost it, always Jeading by a mar- gin of two or more gopls. Ihe game resembled in many ways the 14th-St. Georges game of Wednesday last. The 'play wos strenuous from-start to fin- ish, quite handed teains, fenders, The Toronto team play good fast hockey, its forwards working much af- ter the style of its first team. Its combination work is of the best and rushes fast and possessed of lots of ginger. The Varsity defence put up a strong game. They are all big hockey fellows and did not hesitate to use their weight when occasion offered. Queen's put up a game fight all through. In the first ball they were a little ragged and loose, but in the second half of play, they picked up wonderfully, putting up a fine game. Their forwards worked well together, but seemed a little afraid of passing the puck and hed a tendency to go into the corners with it. The defence worked well, Lockett at cover-point and Donalive in goal, putting up star games, The teams lined up as follows; Queen's (8)--Donahue, goal; Hazlett, poict; lookett, cover: Grange rover; Meikle, centre; Roberts and JPeaton wings, Varsity (10)--Richardson, goal: Han- ley, point; Gallie, cover; Kennedy, ro- ver; McDougall, centre; McLean and Campbell, wings. Releree--J. I. Sutherland. The referee kept the game well in hand, dealing out many penalties for tripping and slashing, ete. The con- test was a good one for the specta- tors, being fast and furious, from whistle to whistle. For Queen's, Meikle was the star. He played a fine game at centre, always being in his posi- tion, and very geldom missing a chance Grange and Roberts also showed well, and Beaton starred in some nice rushes that were effective, For Varsity Richardson in goal sav- ed them many times, He connected with some hot ones, that seemed al- Most sure to score. Gallic and Hanley also 'put up a star game on the de- fence, proving a line thatthe locals could not overcome, "hey handled Queen's rushes in fine style, breaking them up good and proper. On the for. ward line, McLean, McDougall and Kennedy. were the most effective, the ormer playing ey ying a good clean game all In the first half Queen's landed the first goal, Meikle doing the trick ona side shot, one minute after Kennedy made it one all. This was the only goal that Queen's got during the first half, while Varsity landed five. As soon as the whistle blew for the second hall, Queen's started right in, a few good slaps being out, and received by both Varsity being the main of- Surprise Sale If you fig- ure the bar- gains we are giving during this sale in the light of an in vestment, J Fou will find § that every dollar is ex- ceptionally | well invested. here can yon get from 15% to 50% on your money ?

Dur ing the last few moments Queen's add- ed two more to their list. Intercollegiate Annual ' Meeting. The annual meeting of the latercol- legiate Hockey union has been called for Saturday next, in Toronto, at which the question of the final ad- mission of Laval to the Intercollegiate union will be decided. The French- Canadian university club, which was admitted provisionally by the execu- ve; has done remarkably well, and probably will break even with Queen's for the first season for second place in the senior series. If financial con- ditions are said to be satisfactory the decision of the executive probably will be ratified by the gonetal meeting, and Laval become a full member... of the union. 14th Team Of To Toronto. The 14th team had a work out at the rink after the game on Monday night, Only light skating was indulg- ed in just to limber up a little for to- night, The team left at noon for To- onto, where they will meet the St. Georges to-night. Have Gone Te Toroate. Quite a few supporters accompanied the 14th senior hockey team to Toron- to today. The team were in good spirits going away and hoped to be able to hold down the Seints a close score if they could not defeat them, Team Defaulted The intermediate basketball ame which should have been held at the Y.M.CA, Monday night did not ma- terialize, as Capt.

This game should be one oi the best of the sea- son. Sporting Notes. Montreal Gazette: Walsh and Phil lips were the pick of the Ottawa for- wards. American "S800" won from the barn- gtorming Pembroke team by 4 16 1. The ice was very soft. The several athletic Godies of Can- ada will call on the government to ask for financial assistance for wend- ing an Olympic team to London. seball conditions in Upper Michi- an are very unsettled. Winnipeg and luth having withdrawn from the Copper League, has Jeft the Michigan cities out of organized baseball. The sculling race between William Webb, of Wanganui, N.Z., and Richard Tressidder, of Newcastle, New South Wales, for the championship of the world, has been fixed to take place on the Wanganui river, in New Zealand, on Thursday next. Acceptance of the challenge issued by Capt. Wolf, of the Columbia Uni- versity chess team, on behalf of 'that university, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Brown and Pennsylvania, to play for the Rice inter-collegiate tro- phy by cable, has been received from N. J. Roughton, president of the Ox- ford University Chess Club, who acts both for his own university and Cam. bridge. The date, March 21st, appears to be acceptable. Longboat's race .at Boston, on Thursday, has given President James E. Sullivan, of the A.A.U., another chance to professionalize the Indihn. At least that is what the "Cear of all America" claims. As the race on Thursday night, was not sanctioned by Sullivan, the Indian is once more thrown out. Even though Flanagan had a permit from the C.A.A.L the race, the AAU. boss fails to see how the Canadian body gained control over Boston. Toronto Star : The senior series has narrowed down to three teams. Kings ton 14th and St. Georges will fight it out for their, district with home-and- home games, this week, and the win- mer will play off with Stratford, cham- pions of the western section, in the final. . The outcome is problematical. In the two matches already played be- tween Kingston and St. Georges the easterners had a margin of three goals, but the Saints feel that they can do better in the next series. The game in Toronto will' be played on Tuesday night, and will undoubtedly draw the largest crowd of the season The fans herecabouts think that Strat ford can beat cither team, but this has yet to be demonstrated. A Pittsburg despatch says: There was serious rioting at the PAC. and Banker game at Duquesne Garden, Sa- turday night, when Bankers won by seven to three. The wouble arose when Dey, right wing of = the Banker team, struck Simonds, the PAC. cov. er-point, over the cheek with his hoe: key stick. Blood flowed freely from the wountl caused by the blow, and it was a few seconds before Simonds was able to rise to his feet, after which he rushed toward the dressing- room. Almost as soon as the blow was struck, one of the spectators, who became incensed at the action, lost his temper, and grabbing a chair from the box in front of the place where he was sitting, threw it with all his might over the box and out on the ice. The chair, which was intended for Dey, struck Heory Smith (of Ottawa), centre of : the Banker team. Smith made @ run in the direction from for | ON MOTHER CHARGE JAMES BRICKWOOD WAS COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. Accused of Committing Indecent Assault Upon An Eighteen- Year-Old Girl--The Evidence Taken. : James Brickwood, ove of the young men arrested ou Saturday 'might, had another charge to face in the police court this morning, when he was ac cused of indecent assault upon a do- mestic, aged eighteen, on the evening of Feb. 10th. Crowy Attorney Whit. ing conducted the prosecution, and J. McD. Mowat appeared for the prison: er. The young girl said that oun the evening in question she had been at a house on Queen street, and left for Lome about nine o'clock, ; She took a war. When going into the grounds of her employer, and when (about thirty feet from the house, she was met by a man, whom she identified as Drick- Ww . "He took hold of me and threw we on the ground," said the witness. "I screamed and be put his hand over my mouth, and told"me dagkeep still, He said, keep still and 1. will give you 82° 1 said 'I don't gdre if you ive me ¥5. He kept looking at the ouse. There was only one light in the house, and that was upstairs. | think, perhaps, he became frightened, as he then let go. He wanted to brush the snow off my coat, but I said 'there is the road, mow you go, and never show your face again.' He walked away slowly, and 1 went into the house." "Do you know who that man was 1" asked Mr. Whiting. "Yes, the man in the dock," replied the witness, looking at Brickwood. Witness said that she knew Brick- wood to see him, but did not know his name. She had met him on Prine cess gtreet. To Mr. Mowat witness said she was positive that Brickwood the man who had attacked her. At the close of the evidence, magistrate committed Brickwood for trial. The question of bail was not discussed by counsel. The prisoner was removed to the jail this after. noon. that was the DR. WILSON'S FUNERAL. Buried Near York. The late Rev. Dr. Henry Wilson was buried at Kenzra, a beautiful spot near New York, on Monday, after ser- vice in the Gospel Tabernacle of that city. It was expected that the re- mains would be brought to Kingston to be placed beside those of his dear ones gone before, and in such event St. George's cathedral was to be at the disposal of the family for a public service, in which many who warmly regarded him would have shared The deceased had been ill for several days. but vot dangerously so until within forty hours of the fatal ending of an attack of double pneumonia. He died on Thursday at midnight; his daughter, Mrs. Wounham, could not reach Atlanta till Friday morning, though answering the alarm of serious illness promptly. Rev. A. I}.
