Swigart, Chicago, but the daughter of Tom Jim Davis, who wag killed at Cape Vincent, N.Y., a few months after his marriage to her mother. Mrs. Weich appealed from that decision and many Canadian witnesses have already been heard It is claimed that valuable .infor- mation is contained in a diary kept by the late Morey Spoor, Wolfe Is- jand. Mrs. Vincent Greenwood, a ddaughter of the late Morey Spoor, is alleged to have stated that she saw the entries in 'this old diary, the existence of which has caused such excitement. According to a report attributed to her, this diary contains entries telling of the tragic death of Tom Jim Davis, and the birth of his daughter several months later. It is also alleged that the departure of Mrs. Davis with her infant is notedj and her return on 2 visit three years later with the child. If this is ascertained to be sO, it will gerve to show that statements made by a number of witnesses are true. ------ LALONDE-KELLY WEDDJNG. ire Ceremony Took Place in St. Paul's Church on Wednesday.

Miss Keating, in company with her mother, were going down Prin. cess street and attempted to cross the roadway directly in front of Dr. G. W. Bell's residence and walkea in front of the Sedan driven by Os- ear King. Mr. King, when speaking to a Whig representative, stated that he was coming up Princess street and wae travelling at the rate of about fifteen miles per hour. He had. pass- ed the service station at the corner of Princess and Division streets when Mrs. Keating and her daugh- ter walked directly in front of his car. He did not get the slightest warning, as the street is very poor- ty lighted and the two women came from the dark side of the road. When he first noticed the two wo- men, he had presence of mind to swing his car to the left side of the street with the result that the fend- er of the auto struck Miss Keating and knocked her down. The mother who was farthest away from the automobile, was knocked down but was able to proceed to her home. Dr. S. J. Keyes was called and the in- jured lady was rushed to the Gen- eral Hospital where it was found that the leg was fractured in two places. Had it not been for fhe prompt action of Mr. King, there is a chance that both ladies might have been killed. Mrs. Keating, when speaking to Mr. 'King after the accident, stated that she did not blame him in any way for the injury to her daughter.
