Dr. Mundell stated that he wag firmly of the belief that a good many drinkers were getting up against bad whiskey, and that it was driving them mad, BUILDING IN KINGSTON. Record For the Seven Months Of The Year. The records at the office of the City Engineer show that for the sev- en months of the year ending July 31st permits were granted for build- ing value at $130,922. For the month of July, the amount was $12,- 428. For the month of July, 1914, For the first seven months of 1914 the value of building was placed at $234:180. The falling off this year is due to the financial stringency and the war. In July last year. the Reliance Molding Company's factory was erected, and also the military stables, which helped tao swell the amount. ------ MACHINE GUN PRESENTED To Capt. W. LL. Grant's Company Of the 50th Battalion. i The township of Amherst Island Council held a meeting Saturday and voted a machine gun to Capt.

Macdonneoll, K.C, of this city, addréssed a meeting dt Stella, in the interests of recruiting, and the pre- sent#¥on of the machine gun is the fruit of their labor. 3,000 Buildings | Were Burned: Riots Prevail (Special to the Whig.) Athens, Aug. 2.--Arrivals from Constantinople say that three thou- sand buildings, including two hoa- pitals full of wounded, were destroy- ed by incendiary fires on Saturday and Sunday.

Warsaw is isolated from all but military communication. A week 4g0 to-day a train arrived in Mos- cow carrying British, French, Bel- | gian and Servian consuls and the consular archives. The American consul, Hermando De Soto, remain- ed in Warsaw, having laid in a big stock of provisions with the inten- tion of sticking to his post. On the train were also the British Anglican chaplain and the last remnants of the British colonies, some riding on cattle trucks. The refugees includ- ed most of the high 'officials of the law courts with their archives and 30,000,000 ° roubles ($15,000,000) of courts funds, s | Evacuation Began Long Ago. The journey frou "Warsaw. to Mos- Wo sded around by 'the way ot Bialystok and Vilna, because: the route direct via Hrest-Sitouoski was choked by troop trains. Thursday evening, July 15th, the Russian authorities announced in the newspapers that the city's official evacuation would begin on the following Sunday. As a matter of fact it began immediately. Police visited every house and told the "strooch" or porter, to try to induce! the inhabitants in his building to leave at once for Russian (as _dis- tinguished from Poland.) Free transportation on the rail- way to any destination in Russia were promised Unlike the partial evacuation of last December, every effort, was put forth to Induce citi- zens to leave Warsaw, the police as- suming a Kindness and sympathy which deeply touched them Roll- ing stock consisting mainly of emp- ty freight cars was Quietly accumu- lated on the sidings for a week, un- til thousands of cars were available. During Friday, Saturday and Sun- day, trains of refugees were des- patched eastward, the cars being ac- cupled by fleeing men, women and children as closely packed as pos- sible. While 350,000 citizens, including nearly half of Warsaw's ghetto thus depa eastward, nearly another 350,000 of peasants came troop- ing into the Polish metropolis from the neighboring - districts. Practie- ally the entire population of the country on the north, south and west came in a ceaseless procession day and night. The tired dust-whiten- ed peasant's families, with their cat- tle and portable goods, the roads converging on Warsaw, All Factories Destroyed. '\ In the eity itself literally tens of thousands of homes were broken up instantly. I know of four cases of men worth more than $1,000,000 last month who are now penniless.
