"Are vou suffering much from strike ¥* the Whig asked one of leading plumbing establishments, "No, we have quite a little work to do, but we can easily let it stand for a time, to see how matters will eame out. We have all the other contrac tors in sympathy with us." TWENTY-FIVE YEARS A40, the the What Happened a Quarter of a Century Agos Kirkpatrick Dominion elected Rifle Lieut.-Col. gident of the tion.

Patrick Murphy, Drunk, Fell Rails and Held Up Train. Patrick Murphy, owes his life to the | § men on the suburban traih, the Grand Trunk. While under the influ- ence of liquor, Friday afternoon, he fell on the railway tracks, near Davis' tannery, and had not some of the crept of the train noticed him there, he would certainly have been killed. The train was stopped a short dis- trance from him, and he was taken off the rails. He was very drunk. A call was sent to the police station, and Constables McCarey and Dogoey took him in charge. He was so drunk that a cab had to be procured, to get him to the police station. On arrival of the cab at the police station Murphy came oul of his sleep, and with assis- tance, was able to walk into the po- fice station; where he was registered; and afterwards givea the best accom- modation for the afternoon and night. Ruruhy has only been out from Ire lang short time, and just recently came ty Kingston. For some time he has been living in the state of Maine. He could stand Irish whiskey, but the Canadian brand was too much for him He will have a chance to tell his story to the magistrate in the morning. FIRE or | Kingston's Famous Fur Store.
