The announcement that Premier Hardy would be at the convention in Lindsay on Saturday last, drew together _ a good attendance of Retormers from all parts of the riding, as well as some from she north; but those who had never heard Mr. Hardy speakâ€"or, having once heard him, naturally wanted to hear him again-were disappointed, as he was unfortunately unable to be pres- ent, and Hon E. H. Davis of Hamilton, provincial secretary, appeared in his stead. In the forcnoon Mr. F. C. Tay- lor was elected president, Mr. William Cameron vice-president and Mr. D. R. Anderson secretary of the association, after which the proceedings were ad- journed until 1.30 p. m., when the bus- iness of selecting a candidate for the approaching election was proceeded with. It did not take long, as the only gentleman nominated was Dr. McKay of Woodville, who has already repre- sented the riding in four consecutive Parliaments with much credit to him- selfnnd to the entire satisfaction of his constituents. Dr. McKay was therefore, unanimously chosen amidst great en- thusiasm, and his friends feel a com- fortable conviction that he will score another victory when the election shall come off, which will probably not be until next summer. The doctor delivâ€" ered an excellent address. and so did Mr. George Mc Hugh, M. P., who adds ti) his popularity every time he speaks. He was followed by Mr. Davis, who spoke for at least an hour, and whose able defence of the Government of which he is a member was frequently and en- thusiastically applauded. Murder at Maple Lake. On Monday last a rumor that a murâ€" der had been committed at Maple Lake. 18 miles north-east of Mindcn, reached the Falls; and the following account of the tragedy, which was telegraphed from Minden to the city papers, agrees with what we could learn from private sources: i The little village of Maple Lake, in the Township of Stnnhope, was thrown into a flutter of excitement on Saturday night when it was learned that a brutal fight and assault had turned into a tra~ :edy, and that William H. Sawyer, a farmer and trapper, had been kllh'd by Matt Thompson. A deep set grudge existed betwucu Tom Thompson and Sawyer, and when they met in front of. the Maple Lake post-ofiico a free fight ensued, in which Sawyer was getting decidedly the better of it. Hiram Saw- yer, a man of about 02 years of age, sat in his buggy watching his son and Thompson tight, while Matt Thompson , al<o looked on. When Matt saw thati his brother was getting the worst ofthcj contest he pitched in, and gave Sawyer l ascvcrc kicking about the body andl cliest.. Had not Sawycr's father jumpâ€" ; ed out of the rig, there is little doubt, but that Sawyer would have been killed then and there; but the old man, power- ’ fu'. in his younger days. had not yet lost; his vigor. and was able to keep the two , assailants off his son until he crawled :0 g a. nearby stump. Here he sat powerless " jto lift his arm. The old man fought; for some time and received several severe blows; but his injuries did not prove to i be serious. lie was, however. overcome by the Thompson boys, after which Matt Thompsin went up to Snvycr and ‘ kicked him into an inscnsibiiity, fromi Tom to Gilmorc's when it was learned that Sawyer was dead a telegraph despstch was sent there to arrest him ; but, up to the time of writing. the arrest had not been made. Matt Thompson was arrested and taken to Minden, where he will be kept until after the inquest. Dr. Giles, coroner for the district, is in Toronto at present, and last night. he was telegraphed for to come and hold an inquest at once. in his absence Dr. Frost was called in. The dead man was a widower with six children. He was to have been mar- ried shortly. As Matthew Thompson, who was hostler at ’l‘womey's hotel for a few months about seven years ago, and Saw- yer are both well known to many resi- dents of the Falls, there has been some discussion as to whether the crime is murder or manslaughter. Unless there are mitigating circumstances that have not yet been made public, we incline to the belief that Thompson will be tried for. and probably found guilty of, the capital ofl'ence, asâ€"supposing the above account to be strictly correct -â€"hc sub- jected his victim to a degree of violence that could hardly fail to cause his death. His first assault might. be considered to some extent excusable, as his brother was getting the worst of the fight; but to go back to Sawyer, who was lying helpless uyon the ground, and kick him repeatedly and furiously, will, we think be construed into a vindictive determin- ation to take his life. W Bravery Rewarded. The following paragraph appeared, under the above heading, in the Mail and Empire of Monday last : “On the 4th of July, 1896, Captain Thomas Caesar rescued a child from drowning at Fenelon Falls, Out. under circumstances of signal heroism. The matter was reported to the Department of Marine, and by the department brought to the attention of the Royal Canadian Humane Association, whose headquarters are at Hamilton. On Fri- day the department received a letter from the president, Mr. Adam Brown, stating that. the investigating governors of the association had awarded the so- ciety’s medal to Captain Caesar, for the conspicuous courage be displayed in ef- fecting the rescue of the child; and also for other cases of life saving brought to their attention in his behalf. The medal will be forwarded to the mayor of Fenclon Falls, with the request that it be publicly presented to Captain Caesar.” After the nb0ve was in type Dr. Maâ€" son, rcevn of the village, told Us that the medal had arrived and was in his posession and would be publicly confer- red upon Captain Ccesar in Dickson’s hall on Wednesday next. It is well de- served, and ought to have been awarded long ago; tor, though it would perhaps be going too far to say that all of the five persons whom he has rescued would have inevitably been drowned but for his assistance, the merit of the action in each case was just the same. The child alluded to by the Mail and Empire is Dr. A. Wilson's youngest son, George, who fell from a stick of timber at the entrance to the lower lock and had gone down for the third time when Captain Caasar arrived upon the scene, jumped in and dived after him. A few seconds more would have sealed the little fellow’s fate,.and the saving of his life alone, to say nothing of others, entitles the girl- lant captain to the medal with which he is so soon to be decorated.

Friday afternoon Mr. Henry Howard's son, Willie, about 14 years old, fell from a wnugon in the lumber yard of the new will and broke one of the bones of his left arm just above the wrist. He went to Dr. Wilson, who set the fracture and bound it up in splints Later on the same afternoon Mr. M. saw caught the stick and jerked his hand forward, with the result above stated; The amputated digit was dross- cd by Dr. Wilson, since which it has not caused the least pain and is healing rapidly. There are very few persons who would rather lose their right fore. finger than their left; but Mr. Wilson is one of the few. for he is an accomplished violinist as well as an excellent vocalist, and, as he told us himself. if his left finger had been taken off it Would have “ put an end to his fiddling." In his opinion the accident is an illustration of the truth of the proverb that “ nothing is so bad but it might be worse." On Tuesday afternoon, while a son of Mr. William Nichol, of Burnt River. Somerville, was examining the nipple of a gun to see whether there was a cap on it, the hammer slipped from his fingers, the charge exploded. and part of the load of pigeon shot went through his left boot, smashing his second too and slightly grazing the sides of the first and third. The boy, who is about 16 years old, was driven by his father to the Falls, where Dr. Graham dressed and bandaged the too, which was not so bad. ly injured that. it had to be amputated. The shot did not go through the sole of the boot, but the doctor extracted seven or eight pellets from a blackened and blistcred spot on the sole of the foot, just behind the too that was struck. Personals. Miss Lowry, who for about a year has been on the staff of Graham d: 00., left on Wednesday morning for Toronto. Miss Hattie Swanton of Bobcnygoon and two young lady friends drove to the Falls in Mr. Boyd's pony earrings on Wednesday, and returned in the evening. Miss Ella Austin and her cousin, Miss Henrietta Austin, who are attend" ing the Collegiate Institute'at Lindsay, came to the Falls on Monday and re- turned ncxt morning. Mr. Fred Yelland of Peter-borough, the invalid brother of Mrs. Dr. Graham, was driven to the Falls by his attendant, Mr. Wm. McVVha, on Wednesday.of last week, and will remain a few days longer. Mr. James MoCabe, his daughter Margaret and his son John, of Peter. borough; Mr. John Shannhnn, Mr. Daniel Shanahnn and Miss Margaret Shanahan of Ops; Mr. George Jones of Midland; Mr. Thomas Jones and Mr. Robert Jones of l’cterborough, were all at the Falls on Tuesday attending the- funcral of their relative, Mrs. John Jones. Rosedale. (Com'rspondoncc of the Gazette.) An accident which might have had a so. rious ending bofcll our venerable friend, Mr. Wm. Brokenshirc, last Sundav morning. The bridge at Roscdnle bei- ing in the condition that it is at present, necessitates a great many changing their method of going across from the foot to the hand motion, and Mr. Brokcnohirc. having procured a boat, rowed over and landed on the opposite shore in safety, but while making thc return trip the boat, which was never noted for its dogâ€" ged persistence, took a frisky turn and Mr. Brokcnshirc fell into the water. We are unable to state whether it was part of his coat caught on the row-lock or the row-lock on part of his coat; how- ever, Mr. Brokenshirc had considerable difiiculty in righting the boat again. We are glad to state that he is asihalo and hearty as ever. Miss Fannie McDiarmid returned home on Tuesday after a few days’ visit with her friend, Miss Dorothy Smith. The people at Roscdulc anticipate a pleasant time at their social on Friday evening in aid of the Roscdalc Sunday School. 333‘ Produce taken in exchange at Mrs. R. Mcl)ougnll's.â€"27.
