Stephenson, editor of The New Liskeard Speaker and pioneer newspaperman, yester- day acted as one of the judges at the annual show of the Hailey- bury Horticultural Society for the nineteenth time. As the pre- sent show is the twentieth in the history of the Society, it will be' seen that Mr. Stephenson has only missed one year. That oc- casion was a long time ago when it was decided to have an expert from one of the Government de- partments. In all the years that Mr. Steph- enson has had a hand in judging the vegetable and fruit exhibits, he has given the best possible satisfaction and old members of the Society never think of en- gaging anyone else. All are pleased to see him hale and hear- ty after his many years residence in the district. Rock Slide Cause of Wreck Near Swastika --e.--= Plunging with his engine down a forty-foot embankment and coming through the ordeal prac- tically uninjured was the exper- ience of Engineer Verner, of the T. & N. O. Railway, early on Thursday morning last, when his train ran into a rock slide at a point about one mile south of Swastika. Fireman Low appar- ently fell out of the cab window as the engine left the rails and suffered cuts about the head which necessitated his being taken to the Kirkland Lake hos- pital, but his injuries were not serious. Other members of the train crew were not injured. The wreck occurred when the train ran into a rock slide on rounding a curve while the train was travelilng north at about otie o'clock in the morning. The heavy freight engine had just cleared a rock cut when the ob- struction was seen on the tracks, about four car lengths ahead. There was no time to stop the heavy train and the resultant crash threw the engine and sey- eral cars from-the tracks, the engine going over the embank- ment and sinking into the ground at the bottom. The cars were damaged to varying extent and the tracks were blocked for some hours, holding up the passenger trains both north and_ south- bound. It is stated that 15 cars in the centre of the train remain- ed on the rails. It is estimated that some ten tons of rock fell in the slide. The wrecking crew from Englehart was called out and succeeded in clearing the tracks that day, but the southbound trains were late in getting to Haileybury that night. --_--_--_--_ Bryan's Pharmacy for pure drugs Thoroughness of Commercial Education.

Paving Completed On Ferguson Avenue Main Street Started Tuesday of this week saw the paving of Ferguson Avenue com- pleted, the final section at, the Broadway crossing being laid that morning. Curbs, crossings and the section between the N.C. Railway tracks is all done and, with the exception of the laying of the asphalt covering, the whole stretch from the northern limit to Main Street is finished. The Lake Shore Road will be opened sections as the concrete becomes sufficiently hardened. A start was made at the corner of Main and Ferguson and the work is proceeding up Main. Al- ready a portion of Rorke Avenue has been prepared and it is ex- pected that, with the wide down- town section completed the work will go ahead much faster over the balance of the highway: --_--_q____ Electrocuted in Cobalt in Peculiar Manner Norman Rimmer, about thirty years of age, and whose home was at 73 Kippendavie Avenue, Toronto (although the family is believed to have moved to an- other ' city address this week), was electrocuted at the home of I. W. Greenleese, 48 Grandview Avenue, Cobalt, in peculiar cir- cumstances. He was found dead in bed on Tuesday morning, with an improvised electric belt about his body, this having been connected to the wall switch in the room, and, in addition, witha wire from the lamp socket above in one hand. A wet towel was underneath the belt, and a damp wash cloth in his hand. He had received a charge of 110 volts, ad wien Dr. E. W. Mitchell, the coroner and the police investigated the accident, and the former decided an inquest was not necessary. When found, Rimmer was ly- ing on the bed, unclothed. An ordinary leather belt had been strapped about his chest and over a towel, and two small med- als, which acted as_ electrodes, had been inserted between the towel\and the flesh, and at the end of the wires from the switch. Three books on electricity were found in the room, and it is be- lieved that Rimmer, while trying out a form of electric treatment, fell a victim to his own experi- ment. és Mrs. Greenleese told the coro- ner/that Rimmer, who had been rooming at the house for three weeks, had been indoors Mon- day evening, but she was not aware when he prepared to re- tire for the night.

There was only a short discus- sion over the question, the mayor setting forth his objections and reading clauses from the Muni- cipal Act, which, in his opinion, made it illegal to proceed with the work on the former resolu- tion of council. Several of. the councillors stated that the Act was very seldom, if ever, strictly adhered to and were of the opin- ion that the work might be pro- ceeded with, particularly as there was practically no opposition outside of the mayor's. How- ever, it was thought best to have the expenditure authorized by the ratepayers. It was pointed out in the dis- cussion that the original program had been curtailed bythe shorten- ing of the length of paving, a sec- tion having been left off each end, and that the extra piece on Main Street would only make up for this. Five councillors, Mes- srs. Adair, Fleming, Pickard, Piche and Gibson, voted in favor of the resolution to take a vote. Councillor Charbonneau was ,not present. There was a further discussion as to the advisability of including the extra cost of the whole pave ing job, over the $25,000 voted on at the municipal election at the first of the year, in the new by- law to be submitted, and it was decided to get an estimate on this and make the one by-law cover ho anged to a then : for publication this week, in or- der that the work might be outh- orized and proceeded with while the Warren Paving Company is on the job.. As Town Clerk Clif- ford is out of town on his holi- days, Mr. H. A. Day, former town Clerk, was enlisted to prepare the necessary by-law. Only one or two other items of business were transacted at the special meeting, among which was the appointment of Dr. C.W. Haentschel and N. J. McAulay as members of the cemetery com- mittee. These, with Mr. L. H. Ferguson of the old committee, will look after the cemetery for the future. Mayor Pipe asked if tenders should be called for on the build- ing of the proposed sidewalks, but it was thought by the council that the work might be done un- der the old system. There was some discussion of the "arena building and this will come up later. ------_4_____ TRY OUR WANT ADS FERGUSON AVE, .
