McArthur, George A. Ende, Fred. C. Chambers, George D. lsnnc, Elisha Mark- W The Feuclon Falls Gazette. Friday. June 2,6th, 1891. The Budget. On Tuesday Mr. Foster'broughut down the budget, the chief feature of which is the repeal of the duties on raw sugar, which will somewhat lessen the' price of the universal sweetuer, but still leaves the refiner protected to the extent of founfifths of a cent per poundoo refined sugar, or not far from $2,000,000 :1 year on the total amount consumed. To make up for the loss-of. the sugar duty, Mr. Foster proposes to put a cent a. pound on malt, to add 20 cents per gal- ion to the duty on distilled spirits, and ,to inpose an excise tax of 5' cents on tobacco as well as to increase the duty on the “ weed.” As all the sums de- rived from these sources will fall far short of the loss on sugar, the balance will have to be- otherwise made up or retrenchment must be practised in some direction or another. The Ministerial- ists set up a rousing cheer when the repeal of the sugar duties was all-- nounccdipbut they sat mute «as mice when. Mr. Foster was compelled to reply in the negative to- Sir Richard Cartwright’s question whether he meant the House to understand that all the duties on sugar were to- be abolished. However, “ half a loaf is better than no ' bread,” and we are quite satisfied to “have the duties on liquor and tobacco increased if the price of such it across :ary as sugar is thereby lowered. The 'G'overnmont promise economy in the public expenditure, and‘ everybody but boodlers will hope that the promise will be kept. The Tarts Charges. The enquiry into Mr. Tarte's charges against. Thomas McGrecvy and others is being pursued from day to day, with occasional intermissions, and there can- not be the shadow of a doubt as to. the 3 guilt of the parties accused. The most .sturtliog evidence against McGreevy was given on Friday lost. by Owen E.

He also testified ‘ that in: the three years, 1886-87-‘88, the firm spent over $100,000 for expenses “ in different contracts," explaining that expenses meant “ donations and contrib- utions and such like, if you please.” Further, he swore that after the firm contributed 811,000 out of the Esqui- malt growing dock contract, such of the five partners made a' clear profit of 814,000.. ‘ Plenty of otherr evi'd'enoe, nearly as strong as the above, has also been laid 'before the committee; quite sudicicnt to prove to all. who read: it: that a con- spiracy to defraud the taxpayers of the Dominion has been. inactive and success- ful operation for yenrs ;' and although, thanks to an immoral and servilc major- ity in Parliament, the conspirators may escape the fitting punishment of their dishonesty, they will be marked for the rest of their lives as me ‘ who, if. they had their deserts, wool have spent a lengthened; term as convicts in the peni- tentiery. m Mascara Seanceâ€"The members of Spry Lodge A.

Mr. Brokcnshire was thrown over the dash board of the buggy and by some means-got wedged’ in- hotnecw the body and a wheel, where he rode for' a short distance and then dropped to- the ground. Some person caught Barâ€" ney a little further on-und‘ tied him to- tho fence, and Mr. Thurston brought Mr. Brokenshire to' Dr. Wilson's office- at the Falls. No bones Were broken, but he was badly shaken up, felt very sore, and had numerous bruises and scratches, some' ed the latter being so' severe that the doctor had' to dress them. As we have not heard to- the contrary; we presume that he is getting along all right, none of the injuries-being at all. serious. On Saturday evening lust‘ Mr. Mark" McGivern, of this village, met with an accident in‘ a rather peculiar manner. Mr. Joseph lllanrlandls tum-wheeled grocery truck had been left, with the handles up, against the wall of Twomc '3‘ hotel, which adjoins- the store, and 1V 1'. McGivcrn was standing with his, heels on the iron guard over the wheels. A. slight pressure upon the handles of the- truck raised' the guard, from the side-i wolk,.thc wheels suddenly began to re-1 volve, and' Mr. McGivcrn was thrown backward and his head’ struck against a ledge of bricks just above‘ the-stoma- foundation of the hotel, inflicting so ex;- tensive-a scalp wound~ that Dr. Wilson1 had to=scw‘ it up. The mining party. who“ left here on- tho 8th lbr thc'north' allure of Georgian' Bay returned last: Saturday, and‘ one of them, Mr. E. R. Edwards,.came home with his right arm- in u- sling. Whilc' d'esccnding‘one'of the numerous mono»- .tuins of the region travcrscd‘, he fell for“ ward" among some dry tamamck that was on ground, and a sharp-pointed: piece about as mice as a- goose quill went entirely through his hand' frour front to back. The wound has already _henled,.though. there is still a slight' swelling, which will probably. all be gone‘ by the end- of the Week. On Sunday lost" a gang of Boyd 8:. 'ETo’s river drivers hud'wca‘mp at Itcttic's, in Somervillc, audlono of them, a- young. monnumed'! Henry Austin, (no relatiOu- to the Austins of Foncl’on' Falls,) fell- baekwnndoon'tow block of wood', while throwing a “ peevie " over his shoulder, and was seriously injured. Dr. Graham- went from here about: midnight on n- hand-car that was sent for him, and? examined the patient, whose back- was- A~lex. Truax $2, and Chas. MoG'regor, ‘ badly hurt, but not broken, on was re- ported'. The doctor did what he could' lbs him, and’ be was takenx to his home- ot H’aliburton by train on Monday after" 'noon ', and. we have not: been able since- then to obtain any reliable information as to his condition. O‘n Tuesday evening Mr; Henry Austin's third daughter, Ethel, about 6- years old', while playing with some other children, ran- against a pile of edgings, ,ooeof' which cut an ugly gosh in the- front of her head, but so high up that ifs scar‘shouldibc left her hair will hide it. Dr. Wilson, who“ was called? in, put" a stitch in the wound, and the little girl will soon be all right again.
