Fenelon Falls, March 19th, 1894, The Fetielon Falls Gazette. Friday. April 6th, 1894:. The Tinkered Tariff. ' We this week give an extra contain- ing a synopsis of Mr. Foster‘s budget speech and a list of the changes that have been made in the patched-up tariff. The speech was applauded by the Tories, from a sense of duty if not from genuine anmiration. but such of them as want a reduction of the burden under which the people of the Dominion groan. are kick- ing like Liberals against the “ newt" tariff, in which some of the reductions are so small as to be an insult to the suffering public. while the increases are numerous and in many cases very con- siderable. But what could have been expected ? Von: Popuh' forced the El. nance Minister to undertake the revision of the tarifi, but the potted manufactur- ers threatened vengeance if he touched their pockets, and the consequence is that between the opposing influences the result of his labor is but a delusion and a snare and will make the Cerberus for whom it was intended as a sop growl worse than ever. The Globe gives the following three samples (amongst many others) of the sort of changes that how: beenmadc in the tariff: “ In one the duty on a lot of goods under the new law is $305.50; under the old it would have been only $291.82. In another the effect of the change has been to raise the impcst on an invoice of $273 from $75 07 to $81 90. And in the third case the reduction of duties under the new scale, on an importatiop valued at $4,000, was just 70c." A Trip to the Coast. Mr. W. E. Ellis, who returned last Saturday from the North-west and British Columbia, where he was reprev the only way out was to out tunnels right through solid mountains, some of them a quarter cfa mile long; and in some places the grades are so steep that they reverse the powerful engines built expressly for that work. put on all the brakes, and the train then slides down the track at the rate of twelve miles an houn Zilr. Ellis spent several days down in the Okanagan district. British Columbia, with George Cunningham, Sr., who lives in the city of Vernon, the capital, where he holds a good position. The S. 5; O. railway runs in there about fifty miles from the C. P. B... through the finest farming, ranching and fruit growing district in the Province. It is there that Lord Aberdeen’s estate is situated. and land is held at $60 an acre. Some of the farmers there raise 20.000 bush- els of wheat every year. besides owning ranches with thousands of cattle and horses thereon. Immediately south of this lies the famous gold mining region, which is proving very rich in minerals. As an instance of this Mr. Ellis tells Us that one morning he was at the station when a young fellow stepped off the train with a small saddle bag in his hand. from one side of which protruded a big seven shooter and from the other a solid gold brick worth over 83.000. He made a bee line for the bank. where Mr. Ellis had the pleasure of handling the mass of gold a little later in the day. The owner and his two partners turn out a similar chunk about every fortnight from a mine they discovered a little over a year ago. On account of the failure of crops last year and the very low price of wheat business men are complaining very much of hard times and scarcity of money, especially in Manitoba and the Northwest. m Accidents. On Tuesday morning a board in the flooring of the first story of the red mill broke beneath the feet of Mr. Wm. Dcyman and he fell through to the rocks below. He alighted fair on his feet, and would have suffered nothing worse than a severe shock, but. in going through the hole, his left elbow caught on a sound board which forced his shoulder out of joint. As both our doctors were away aiid‘Dr. Graham, the first to return, did not get home until the afternoon, Mr. Deyman had to wait seven hours before he could obtain med- ical asaistance, and during part of that time he suffered so severely that. though a strong, rugged and determined man, he could scarcely help shouting with pain. ~ About a quarter past 8 o'clock On Wednesday night, which was Very dark, 9. number of little boys, who ought to have been at home and in bed, Were playing on the main street just south of Bond street; and one of them, Alexan- der Campbell, aged about 6 years. son of the late John S. Campbell, ran right under the feet of a horse that was being driven by Mr. Fred. Mz'tcalfe. was knocked down and had his left leg broken about half way between the knee and hip. Mr. Edward Chambers, who was passing at the time, picked the poor little fellow up and carried him to his home, where Dr. Wilson administered chloroform and set the broken bone, and the patient, we are glad to hear, is doing well. While in Mr. Chambers's arms he said he was dazzled by the light from the stores, and did not see, the horse until it struck him. Not the slightest blame can be attached to Mr. Metcalfe, as he was driving carefully at a slow walking pace when the accident occurred. Fred loKeown Pinto Squaw.

Tripp, tinsmith. who resides on McDonncl street. and is employed by Messrs, Mick: & Co.. hardware dealers. met with a very painful accident in which be nearly lost his life. He was engaged in erecting eavetrnughs on the new brick house. of Mr. George Curtis. situated on Manning Avenue, when the scaffold on which he was working, not being sufficiently strengthened or supported, gave way, precipitating Mr. Tripp to the ground,- a distance of some fiftem feet or over. One of the heavy planks fell on the un- happy victim. Tlio hapless man was picked up and taken to tho Nicholle Hospital, where he is now confined. This morning inquiry at that institution revealed the fact that he was getting along as well as could be expected, al- though his injuries are very severe. The wrist of his left arm was broken, his ankle is sprained and his legs badly bruised, while over one of his eyes is a deep and painful out. Mr. Tripp is a, man offamily." Mr. Tripp was formerly a resident of Fenelon Falls. and his many friends in the village and its vicinity will be sorry to hear of his accident. COUNCIL MEETING.â€"Tho village council ought to have met on Monday evening, but, as there were not enough members present to form a quorum, the meeting was postponed until this (Fri- day) evening.

The inxisqueradcrs were not as numerous as at previous carnivals this season, but there were a great many spectators who were allowed to skate after 8.30, and as all-present paid for admission the affair was a success financially. There were two half mile races, one for boys under 12 years and the other for boys over that age. In the first Cecil Deyman was first and Charles Corbett second; and in the other Fred.
