The Piano Factory Will Remain in whelmingly in Favor of Grant- ing the Bonus. The Wormwith Piang works will re- main in Kingston. By an overwhelm- ifig vote at the polls on Thursday {the property owners decided to retain {this industry by giving it a bonus {of $10,000. The vote was 2,119 for | the bonus, and 206 against. | On January 4th the same bonus {by-law was before the people but ow- ling to there being so many ballot | papers to mark, and on account of the Wormwith by-law being confused {with the road improvement by-law, | the measure was defeated, inasmuch las it came within sixty-four votes of the number required, although the { vote stood 1.424 for and 422 against. | There are 2,481 voters on the pro- |perty holders' list. As less than one- [fifth of these voted against the by law, only a three-fifths affirmative | vote,« instead of a two-thirds, was re- | quired. Hence the number of votes | required to carry the Wormwith mea- sire was 1,488. It weceived 2.119, | so that it passed by 631. {2,325, or just 156 less than the %o- | tal number of voters. This shows | the energetic work of the Board of {Trade members who manned the Kingston--The Vote Was Over- | i The total vota polled yesterday was | bell. PICTON" THE VICTORS DEFEATED THE 14TH JUN.

The canners had a lead of ome geal from the previous game in Belleville, thus winning the round by four goals, Here's hoping they win the cup. The locals left he at 3:10 o'clock, Thursday afternoon and: aiter a long, tedious railroad journey, arrived in Picton at 7:50 o'clock and were forced to go direct to the rink and dress, They had a bite of supper at Trenton | junction. When the teams arrived at the rink they found it packed, be tween 1,200 and 1,300 people being present. The ice was in good cendi- | tion the first half, but became sticky towards the end, and this was hard 'on {ithe soldier forwards, who want clear hard ice as they are light. The game wax a battle from bell to Picton won and fair and square, | but they had the hardest battle of the | sdason to do it. Ai half time the ! score stood 2 to 2, and the supporters lof both sides did some tall thinking. {polls and worked for the bonus from | Quite a little money passed from one I g dur : \ | ying during [the drop of the hat at nine o'clock pocket to {in the morning till five in the after- Inoon. The board had a perfect or- | ganization, including the. politicians {of both sides, and the votes simply {had to be vegistered. Those who {had the franchise were forced to come lout and cast their ballots. Without | the board of trade's influence the by- | law would never have carried because lit required the best organized effort Ito get out the voters, who on occasions are very forgetful. The results began to come in short- ly after five o'clock and it was soon seen that the by-law had been success- ful. The Whig had stated that 1,800 votes should be cast in its favor, but the result was 300 better than this At the board of trade rooms, the such was great jubilation over the result, The result of the vote was eagerly sought by outside places which bidding for the Wormwith works, and Gapanoyue learned. at 6.20 olclock that it was not destined' to have a piano industry added to its area. A month ago, the 'total vote east for and against the by-iaw 'was 1,815, or 479 less than the total vote of yes- terday. than half the number who voted nay on January: 4th, voted the same way on February '4th. Many changed their votes," whila it was seen to that others who, didn't vote a Less vea on this occasion. A perusal of the vote cast yester- day, and that on January 4th is™in- teresting. It is shown - that the greatest increase in favor of the by- law was in Frontenac ward. Every | ward gave a big increase in favor, land a reduced number opposed.

Wormivith, head of the Worm- with Piano company, was 'seen this } worning. and asked what his plans { were. He stated that plans and speci- | fications would be prepared at once {for the reconstruction of the burned | building, and that work would be | rushed ahead, so that the building { would be ready to be occupied some { time in July. For the past few weeks, { the company has been in occupation | of the Oldrieve building on {have becn under way. He expects to | have pianos on the market within six | weeks, | The reconstructed Wormwith says, will be more up-to- {date than the old one. It will con- tain improved heating apparatus and | sprinklers, so there will be less dan- {ger of fire. It is not likely that the | top storey will he reconstructed, at least not in the same way as it exist- ed in the old building. The company will not rent any of the reconstructed building. as it will require all of it for {its work.

John D. Davison, an old Kingston- ian, now residing at Parrot's Bay, called at the Whig office a few days ago to correct what he claims to be an erroneous statement made in a let- ter written by Mr. Grass, of Collins | Bay. and published recently in the Whig. In Mr . Grass' letter it was stated that, Lieutenant Johnson and fourteen others were captured at the battle of the Windmill, at Prescott, and brought back to Kingston and hanged. ur, Davison wishes to re- move this blot from the memory such a valignt sdldier as Lieutenant | Johnson. In place of being brought | back and hanged, he was brought to i Kingston and buried in the old ceme- | tery (now known as Frontenac Park), | his last obsequies being attended with | - full military honors as hefittea a' ) faithful soldier who died in defence of | his flag and country. | For Mr. Davison, who was born on the | Bide lately occupied by the Wopmwith / iano company, remembers the above | incident well.
