YOU- WANT THE BEST WOVEN WIRE aroma ' AND THE CHEAPEST. WI RE ROPE SELVAGE.. ~i’lllie' Echelon-Falls Gaze“; Fridav, June 17th. 1898. An Unpunished Crime. A good deal of indignation is felt and expressed at the barbarous treat- ment of the men employed on the Crow’s Nest Pass railway, the full par- ticulars of which have been given in the report of the commissioners appoint- ed tc enquire into the matter. But what is the use? The death of the two men who died of diphtheria will be unavcnged, and the only use of the commission will be to somewhat amelior- ate the condition of the men in the future. What does Sir William Van Home care for the complaints of the men? or what do the contractors on the railway care, either? Practically, nothing; and it is a waste of words to cxpostulatc with them. Somebody is guilty of manslaughter, but nobody will be tried for it. A crime has been com- mitted ; but the perpetrator will escape unpunishcd. If the unfortunate nav- vics caught a heartless contractor and lynched him, it would do them more good than the appointment of half a dozen commissions. U W. The'War News. ‘ Nothing of any great importance has occurred during the past week, thoth each day brings its budget of news, some of which is afterwards contra- dicted. About 600 marines were land ed in Guantanamo bay, near Santiago, and encampetl at McCalln. The Spun- iards attacked them and were driven off, after which the marines moved to a less exposed position. The departure of the ships with American troops for Santiago has been delayed several times from different causes. but they are on their way at last, and it is thought that they will reach their destination by the end of this Week. It is reported that the insurgents in the Philippines are trying to capture Manilla before the arrival of the Americans. A despatch from Madrid says that Spain can fight for two years, but she has failed to secure loans abroad and is in great financial diflicultics; but the American war revenue bill, by which it is pro- posed to raise $200,000.000 on 3 per cent. bonds, was signed by the Presi- dent ou Monday last, and three New York firms have volunteered to raise the whole amount. Officers in the Am crican fleet of? Santiago think that the city can be captured in twenty-tour hours after the arrival of the troops, as the {soldiers and populace in Santiago are starving; but the Spaniards are of a different opinion, as the expedition will have to crass the Sicrre Cobrc mountains, which can be easily defended by a very small force. and the United States troops will suficr greatly from the rainy season, which has now set in.

The 26 years that have elapsed since we last saw him have changed him so (chiefly in the color of his hair) that for a moment or two we did not know him. Powles’ Corner. (Correspondence 0/ the Gazette.) Mr. E. Mark is going into bee-keep- ing on an extensive scale. He has 4‘2 hives at present and could have had more if he wished, but the more swarm- ing the less honey. Mr. Thomas Lane and his assistant are busy building a stone foundation for a straw burn for Mr. John Brown. The room underneath will be used as a stable for horses and cattle and a store- house for roots. There are prospects for two weddings in this locality in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

He will be greatly missed. The population of Rosedalc has in- creased to 18. We expect by the looks of things that some of our old bachelors are goâ€" ing to make a change in life, as we see some of the buggies being cleaned up. Mr. R Brooks took possession of the model farm, Rosedalc, the other day. (The above was unavoidably left over from last weekâ€"Ed.) Somerville Court of Revision.
