On difi‘erent days of last week and at different places the three men whose ul- leged crimes have been the talk of the community for months past wore all found guiltyâ€"Hermann W. Mudgett alias H. H Holmes,at Philadelphia, for the murder of Benjamin F. Pietzel ; Theodore Durant, at San Francisco, for the murder of Blanche Lamont; and Valentine Shortis, at Montreal, for the murder of Loy. For Durrant’s crime there is no known motive, and as he no doubt also killed a girl named Minnie Williams, he was very probably actuated by a phase of the same homi- cidal impulse that made Shortis run amuck through the Valleyfield mill, firing his revolver at all he met. As there was direct as well as circumstan- tial evidence against the latter, the plea of insanity was put in, and it was shown that his parents, who Were with him during his trial, had sent him out from Ireland to get rid of him on account of his erratic conduct; 'but the jury found him responsible for his actions and he was sentenced to be hanged on the 3rd of January next. Sentence on Holmes was deferred until the 18th, in order to allow the defence to make an application for a new trial, which will, it is expect- ed, be refused by the judge, in which event other steps on behalf of the pris- oner will be taken. If the crime for which Holmes was tried were the only one laid to his charge. it is possible that the evidence against him might not have been strong enough to remove every shadow of a doubt as to his guilt, and it is thought that the jurymcn were influenced. perhaps unconsciously, by the moral certainty, shared by the whole community, that. Pietzel was only one out of nearly a dozen of his victims. The second trial of the Hyams twins for the murder of Willie Wells was com- menced in Toronto on Tuesday last. . Last year we were clear of the rail- way debt, which was $1160.36 annu- ally, yet our taxes were as high as in 1893, and this year they are higher still, which of course causes a good deal of grumbling and wondering, and some few appear inclined to blame the pres- dnt council for the unsatisfactory con- dition of our financial affairs. To do so would, however, be unjust, as they are only trying to pay ed as much as more to look well all the year around, and wear scasonable ‘ possible of a debt that is the result of clothes. “ ’Tis not the clothes that make the man, but they help.” If you will give us a call we will surprise you both in prices and quality. 8.

Moved by Mr. Heard, seconded by Mr. Magoo. That. the petition of the W. C. T.

The following resolution was also passed: The board of managcmcment of the Fenelon Falls public library begs to acknowledge the petition of the W. C. T. U., and while respecting the de- sire of their petitioners to raise the moral tone of the village, for various reasons they cannot entertain the pe tition. The Poultry Journal (Chicago) and the British Weekly were subscribed for, and the Sunday at Home, Leisure Hour, London Times and Monetary Times were discontinued. E. D.

An oyster supper and entertainment will be given by the patrons of the Cam- eron cheese factory upon the event of the closing of the factory after a very successful season’s work. The date of the supper is not fixed yet, but it will be sometime about the last of this month. Two weeks ago we referred to the ill‘ ness of Miss Emma Daniels, youngest daughter of Mr. Thomas Daniels, who has been in Tiny for about a year and was taken down with typhoid fever about three weeks ago. At the time of writing she is so low that her recovery is doubtful, but while there is life there is hope. The fine weather at present is giving the farmers 11 chance‘to get their turnips all in. Some have excellent crops, while others are not so fortunate. Mr. John Willock has been blessed with a very fine crop of one hundred and thirty loads.

Tm: “lumenâ€"When our villagers got up yesterday morning they found the ground covered with puddles of water and rain still falling heavily; but during the first half of the week we had the lovely weather peculiar to Ontario at this time of the year, and which, like her scenery, can hardly be excelled any- where in the world. 18' Mrs. R. McDougull has returned home with a well selected stock of full and winter millinery, and is no‘~' prl mer to meet the requirements of her customers. SOLD OUT.â€"-â€"Mr. Wallace Lamb has sold his stock in trade to Northey Bros. and has retired from business in the Falls, with the intention of returning to Manitoba, where he lived for some little time, as he thinks he can do better there than in Ontario. Northcy‘s restau- rant is now the only one in the village, which is all it is able to support. HAVE YOU HEARD that we carry the largest variety of Finn, Shoes in the county?

ELECTRIC Liam‘sâ€"Seeing Mr. Now- som Coming out of the now Presbyterian church last Tuesday, we asked him how many lights were to be used in that edifice and he replied “ twenty-three," furthermore informing us that the total number of lights in the village is con. sidernbly greater than it was a few months agb, and is gradually increasing at a fairly satisfactory rote.

ARRESTEDâ€"Lust week Mark Peter- kin was arrested at Bobcnygcon, Reuben Tripp in Fenclon, and William Tripp at Feuclon Falls, on suspicion of having stolen property from the Sturgeon Point cottages last winter. Petcl'kin was locked up for the night, but escaped by pushing the bars in from. of a window for enough apart to enable him to squeeze through, and the two 'I‘ripps were taken on Saturday before Col. Deacon. who, after hearing part of the evidence against. them, adjourned the trial until Thursday, the 7th inst. PREPARING T0 BUILDâ€"A short time ago Mr. David Varcoe purchased from Mr. Samuel Swanton the quarter acre lot, with an old one-story building thereon, immediately west of the new house lately erected by Mr. Thomas l’oulsom on Francis street east. Mr. Varcoe attempted to move the old build- ing to the rear of the lot; but the sills were so rotten that he had to pull it down ; and he is now clearing the ground of the rubbish and will at once build the foundation wall, 20 x 30 feet, of a new house that he intends to put up as early as possible next spring. 38'” The same price to every one at the lending Tnilor‘s, one door below the barber shop, Fenclon Folls.â€"-â€"-24. MAY GET Humansâ€"Mrs. Funny McDiarmid, who was so severely in- jured at the Union station in Toronto a few weeks ago, is still at the home of Mr. Wood in that city. Three doctors held a consultation to determine the nature of Mrs. McDiarmid’s injuries, in the event of an action for heavy dnm- agcs being instituted against the Grand Trunk Railway Co. The injured lady has suffered agonizing pains, and she will not be able to walk for some weeks yet. Mr. R. A. Dickson has been re- taincd by Mrs. McDiarniid's friends to look after her interests. It is possible that the railway company may offer a settlement to compensate for the injur- ies and 10ss of time occasioned by tho carelessness of the officials. A IlANDYGArn.-â€"Onc day this week Messrs. Heard and Scndford bought the patent right for the towuships of Fen- elon and Vcrulam of Floyd Hopkins’ farm gate, a full sized model of which has been set up between two posts on the vacant lot at the north east corner of Colborne and Francis streets, and the working of which will be exhibited by Mr. Win. Golden. who is empowered to take orders therefor. The gate is very light and handy, as it can he slid open for half its length in a. straight line with the posts and then turned upon its hinges, and can be raised in a very few minutes when necessary to keep it out of the snow. The price of a single set of castings is $1.50. or four sets for 85, . and the right to make and use the gate goes with them.
