Issuer of Marriage Licenses. Jfie Jenefon Jaws 563ette. FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1912. Very Wet. A heavy rain, commencing on Tuesday at noon and lasting until Thursday morning, has raised the water, already very high on account of previous down- pours, to an unprecedental height. The flat places all over the village arc flooded, and a great many cellars have more or less water in them, the stores on Col- borne street south of Francis, being the worst sufferers in this respect. The Francis street creek has been unable. to carry off the superfluous water, which has backed up and overflowed, causing considerable inconvenience all along its route. The town is, however, very fortunately situated as far as annoyance or danger from floods is concerned, being high up with a good big river to carry off the extra moisture. The continuous rain is going hard with some of the farmers in the vicinity, who have been unable to do anything with portions of their land which have been either under water or so wet as to be unworkable. No Trace of John Taggart. Since the snow went off and the ice out of the lake a. constant lookout has been kept for the body of John Tag-garb, who disappeared late last fall and has not since been seen. A close search has been made of the banks of Burnt River up to the farthest point where he might have fallen in on his way to Fen- elon Falls from the spot where he left his companions on the night of Novem- ber 27th. A drive of 10 s at the mouth of Burnt River was also thoroughly searched, but no trace of the missing man could be found. It is intended to drag the river below the bridge as soon as the water becomes low enough. Lindsay Presbytery/A‘s Nlessarge to Rev, C. 8. Lord. Following is an extract from the minutes of the Lindsay Presbytery meet- ing of May 22nd inst. : “ On motion of Mr. J. R. Fraser, it was unanimously agreed that the following message of greeting be sentto Rev. 0.8. Lord: ‘The Presbytery of Lindsay now in session sends hearty greeting and well earned respects to our brother, Rev. C. S. Lord, and hears with pleasure of his improvement in health. We trust that through God’s healing providence he may soon be completely restored to his old-time vigour to guide and comfort his people and enliven us his brethren with his genial and wholesome spirit.’ ” Lindsayiit‘o Try Local Option. The first gun in a'local option camâ€" paign to be inaugurated in Lindsay dur- ing the coming year was tired in the Academy of Music Sunday evening, when Rev. Dr. McTavish, representing the Ontario branch of the Dominion Alliance, '; delivered a strong temperance address . before an audience that taxed the capac- ity of the building to its utmost. At the conclusion of his address a resolution was submttted‘ to the meeting and carried unanimously that the meeting place itself on record in favor of a local opt-ion by-law being submitted next January. Another resolution was: also. adopted forming a citizens‘ committee : for organizing and carrying on the cam- paign. The meeting was a thoroughly representative one, the members of the different religions denominations being well represented in the audience. Mr. A. D. Kitchener was chairman of the evening. ' During thepast few years amendments have been introduced. to. the local option by-law making. it ens-y to enforce. One was to the- effoct that if a drunk was found into: local option district he would be subject to a fine and would bemado to tell where he secured the liquor. Another clause stipulated that parties keeping liquor for sale in local option centres were on a par with the men sellingit. This legislation, Mr. Kitchener point- ' ed out, served to make the by-law easier to enforce, and the amendment which stipulated that only resident voters had a right to vote on the measure made. it easier to pass. The reverend gentleman said that one objection registeredagainst local option was that we had at present a good -license law. The-*prohibitory features. of that law were the good ones. “ Why not go one better," said the speaker, “ and introduce local option '9’” There were those who argued that the by-law could not be enforced. It was as well enforced as the license law, and no -more liquor was sold illegally under local option than there was under the license- law. The Chief of Police in Urillia states there is considerably less drunkenness there, and the. present reove of Newmarket is authority for the statement; that it was impossible to find a place in that. town where liquor was sold. The speaker effectively disposed of the. luck of proper hotel accommodation argument in reference to local option centres and proved conclusively that desired, and furtho Option tended to lll' prosperous.

Globe :-â€"The Depzi '. sment of the At- torney-General has hid under adviseâ€" ment the case of Artlwr A. Ellis, now in .jail, charged with l r c murder of his brother-in-law, Lew? l). Porter. and has decided that there "lest be. another pre- liminary lllVCStlgilH=~11 held before the prisoner can be leg 2y tried at the Fall Assizes. A new inlwl‘l‘llillllOll will have to be laid against, Ellis, and the whole machinery of the law set in motion again, according to the dc . on reached by the Deputy Attorneyâ€" : . :icrul, and the De- partment of l’rovinci ll Police. 1 The new preliminary hearing will take place this week at Lindsay, according to a despatch from Lindsay, received in Toronto last-night. It was stated in the message that County Crown Attorney A. P. Devlin of Lindsay had been instructed to arrange for the new preliminary hear- ing, and that Magistrate F. D. Moore of Lindsay would preside. The decision to order a new prelimin- ary hearing was made after it becaqu known that no evidence had been taken by the committing Magistrate William Fielding, of Mindcn, who, it is claimed, acted solely upon the disclosures before Coroner O. A. Pogue. As no evidence was taken, the Crown officers have decided that the Magistrate did not legally send the prisoner up for trial. They saw that in order to commit under the law, his Worship should have satisfied himself that from the evidence adduced there was suflicient to place Ellis on trial. Ellis is held in connection with the death of his brother-iu-law, Lewis D. Porter, who was found murdered on the Coboconk road, thee miles southwest of Minden. Provincial Inspector Henry Reburn's investigation resulted in the arrest of Ellis. Magistrate Moore, when asked last night when the new investigation would be held, said he was awaiting a confer- :ence with Provincial Inspector Reborn and Crown Attorney Devlin. Tho Ma- gistrate ‘said Inspector Reburn was expected at Lindsay this week. ' .- Somerville 'Council. Council. met May 27th as a Court of Revision, Mr. Morrison in the chair. Mr. E.
