CHâ€"EiaBERS a prepared to furnish the people of Lind say and surrounding country with MONUMENTS AND HEADSTONES, both Marble and Granite. At St. Helen's Island on Thursday, Colonel Lake, the Quartermaster-Geo- crnl of the Canadian Militia, witnessed a test of a new bullet invented by a member of one of the local militia corps. The bullet, fired from a Lee-Enfiuld rifle at a joint of beef, tore open a wound at the point-of impact, fully four inches across and two inches deep. That the bullet was not unduly wenkened'by the special treatment was demonstrated by the fact that it shuttered a large bone in the middle of the joint, and, passing out, flattened itself on some stones in the rear. The Militia De- partmcnt will conduct a series of experâ€" iments with the new bullet. One of the most perplexing problems before the military men of the world at the present time, is to provide a bullet forthe new long distance rifles with which all the armies of the great pow- era are armed which will stop an enemy on hitting him. For years the minds of military men have been devoted to the provision of weapons and ammu- nition to‘ourry missiles to the limit of distinct vision. Success has practically been attained in this regard, but now that rifles have been invented that will carry a certain bullet as far as a man can see distinctly, the unpleasant fact has been revealed that though one of these bullets may go through three or I four men and still keep on its course, the wounded men will not be checked, but might keep on fighting for hnlfau hour even after receiving fatal wounds. Now, in a battle, the object in shooting a. man is to put him liors-de-combat at once. There is no object attained in filling him full of bullet holes if he can continue the fight on his owu part, even though he may succumb to hemorrhage the next hour. The increase in the velocity of the bullets has gradually reduced their stopping power. The old smoothbore. with an extreme range of only a couple of hundred yards, made u ghastly wound in a. man. and if the bul- , let did not reach a vital spot it prompt- ' ly put the man out of action. A gun- ner in A Battery. R. C. A., wounded by a round bullet from a fowling piece at the action of Fish Creek in 1885, told a correspondent half an hour afterwards that when hit it was as though a red hot cricket ball had struck him and forced an entrance into his body. The shock was so severe that he spun round ' on his feet and fell senseless to the ground. In a few weeks he was dis- charged cured.

Being a practical workman all should see his designs and compare ptices before purchasiugolsewhere. action by 3 Winchester rifle bullet, merely felt a stinging sensation when l struck, and kept his place in the ranks l for some time, not realizing that he had been seriously wounded until the effect of the hemorrhage began to be felt. The old military bullet was of soft lead with that the Bella and the Osprey were one and the same vessel, and that Cresswell was a passenger by it to Australia. The a whole of Cresswell's movements from the time he left the ship up to the pres- out day have been traced, and a large nutnber of witnesses will give evidence to the effect that Cresswell frequently hinted that he could claim large estates if he chose to return to England. For a considerable period he was on confi- dential terms with Arthur Orton, or the claimant, and it is asserted that the lat- tcrobtained what knowledge he posess- ed respecting the Tiohborne family from Cromwell. and was encouraged to pros- ecute his claim by reason ofCresswoll's lunacy. All the witnesses are old colo- nists, mostly from the neighborhood of Gundagai and anga-anga in New South Wales, and of unblemished char- actor. It is admitted that Cresswell possessâ€" es all the physical characteristics of the missing baronet, has a fair knowledge of the French language, and some famil- iarity with military life. He knows nothing of what has been done on his behalf, and cvinces no desire to loan- the institution of which he has so long been an inmate. It is feared, however, that should the courts decide upon his release, the voyage to London would prove fatal to him, his health being somewhat delicate. --â€"-o - c Fatal Fires in Manitoba. Winnipeg, Oct. 3,â€"l’rairie and bush fires have committed frightful havoc both east and west of Winnipeg during the past 48 hours. No rain has fallen for over six weeks, and the country is as dry as tinder. Serious losses of life and property are reported from Beans-‘- jour, some forty miles cart of this city. seven persons having perished in the flames. The dead people consist of a family of Germans named .‘loreski, liv~ ing in the foreign colony near there. The victims, two women and five child» reu, were alone in the house, their bur-r bands being engaged in threshing out west. Their house being surrounded by bush, and the fire being all around, made escape impossible. Nothing but a fow charred fragments of their bodies were discovered this morning when tho;- fire had subsided sufficiently to allow an investigation. Besides these dead, very many narrow escapes are reported; one woman, named Wyrzkowaki. having on- ly lime to snatch up her three children and run from the burning house, not even having time to get the children's clothing. Cattle, sheep and horses at»: being discovered dead and dying in a.l directions.
