T o the Editor of The lVatchT/Lan. Sunâ€"It is with somewhat, of diffidence, I venture to address myself to the electors of this Riding, but I have been waiting for a more experienced and forcible pen to show my fellow electors the position this Riding occupies and has cecupied for a number of years, and, unless they wake up and realize the Situation, are likely to continue to occupy for some time to come. I do not know that North Victoria is any less Capable of looking after her own in- terests than the South is, and certainly we have as intelligent. men In our midst as either of the candidates she has chosen to represent her, but unfortunately we have been at the mercy of “political adventur- ers” for years. Now, Mr. Editor, in writing this letter let me state that I am a Conservative, but not a party man to such an extent as to see nothing good in the ranks of the Reformers, or “Grits," as some call them, but atfi willing to acknow- ' Al 4 LL ..-. EUIHU bill. Lllu‘u, v..- .V.,,, ledge good deeds from whichever side they emanate. I strive not to he led away by party issues. but to support men whom I believe to be honorable in their dealings with their fellows. We have had' Conser- vative representatives for many Parlia- ments- Mr. Hector Cameron represented us for some years, but the electors for, no doubt, good reason would not have him any longer and he was defeated We have now two candidates, (for I take it for granted that Mr. Barron will be again nominated) who have no claim on the riding other than “Conventions” have given them, and in the majority of cases this claim is of a. very spurious character. For instance who can claim that the con- vention held lately at Coboconk was hon- estly convened, the very unanimity of the vote destroys the idea of fairness. for it is felt by a. large number of influential con- serVatives that if the riding was properly represented there would have been a loc cl man nominated. The time has now come that our country must elect men who have some stake in what they represent, and not allow men who have nothing to recom- mend them, but perserving inipertinence and indomitable cheek to be foisted on the community. New, sir, allow me to say a few words of the men who cla‘m our sutfrages. In the first instance we have Mr. S. Hughes. Well, Mr. Hughes is Mr. John McDonald v. “Common Sense.” [To the Editor of THE P081] Sm,â€"In reply to a letter in your issue of January 1st, signed “Common Sense,” it would seem that individual has address- ed himself to the people of the townships of Mariposa and Veiulamv in particular. As far as the railway question is concern- ed, 1 was one of twelve who made appli- cation [0 the government of Canada in December, 1889, for a charter to build a railway from Pontypool to Bobcaygeon (a line much needed). In response to that application a charter was granted on the 26th of March, 1891. The same year we applied for a subsidy to assist in building the said railway; on the 15th of May a grant of $51,200 was given, with the expectation of getting the balance of grant, amounting to $88,800 next session of parliament. As every enterprise has its disappointment our first one came in the death of the late Adam Hudspeth, the member for South Victoria. Then before the close of the last session came the death of the late lamented Sir John A. Macdonald then acting ministerof railways with whom all our business was transact- ed, and since the Abbott admistration COMMUNICATIONS. LINDSAY, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14th, 1'89I. tame into 1)ower there has been nothing left undone that we could do to secure the total amount of the grant amounting to “$140. 000. With this subsidy secured we have hopes of seeinw the railway complet- ed but without it the enterprise must fail. And up to the time that Mr. Fair- l'121irn was unseated I was confident of the balance of the grant at next session of parliament, which was also the best opinion of some of the best railway men in Ontario. Now, in case “ Common Sense,’ in his enthusiasm for party, 11 11y foregt that such a Company exists I will give him the names of the wentleme: 1 who compose it: M. M. Boy 111: John Petzo, John L.Reid, Geo1ge b’ick, Wm Needler, all of Bobcaygeon; J. B. Knowlson, W. McDonnell, J. D. Flavelle, D. J. Mc- Intyre, John Dobson, John Kennedy and John McDonald, all of the town of Lind- say, which anyone may find in the statutes of 1891. The above named gentle- men are all well known, and have for their solicitor Mr. John A. Barron, then member for No1tl1 Victoria. \‘lhcn “Common Sense’ So far foruets himself as to make himself a political tack, and impure dishonest niotixes to such men, and call this enterp1ise “a fake” or railway cry (which ninety-nine men out of every one hundred in the county of Victoria wish to see carried out), it is time to tell him that the public will fail to see where the “Common senSe” he boasts 11f comes in. His motives in referring to Mr. Fairba1rn’s temperance habits is clear, and could only come from nothing but a mean and contez‘nptable mind. not Worthy of notice. Neither Mr. Fairbairn nor Mr. Walters are total abtainers, but both are gentleman, and should be treated as such. And as far as Mr. Fairbairn’s government pay is concerned, the public are well aware that both these gentlemen share a. certain amount of government patronage. In Conclusmn I would say that if the politicians of South Victoria were as anxious for the welfare of the people as for the success of party wire- pullers, we would have one of the most progressive counties in the Dominion; also that. if “Common Sense” is not gentleman enough to sign his own name to any further Correspondence the public should be able to see his dishonest motives. With Two FoHowers He Surrendered to the Sheriff Under a Promise of Protection_ MOBILE, A13, Dec; 26. 1891. â€" The bodies of three men, Bob Sims and two of his followers. are hanging to-night to a. tree in the valley below Sims’ stronghold. They were banged by a mob. Not far distance hangs the body of John Savage, who died Christmas Eve, another victim of the indignation of the people. Sims was first heard of when one of his followers refused to take the oath that was to be administered to him in the United States Court in Mobile, the case being one of illicit distilling and the man being 9. Witness. OUTLAW “ BOB" SIMS HANGED BY A MOB. This was last year, and the papers made much of the fact that Sims had established a new religion in Choctaw county Ala. .. the gist of which was that the devil had obtained control of mundane affairs, held all the offices and made all the laws. It was therefore the duty of primitive Chris- tians to disobey laws so made and defy the devil. In the attempt to escape Jim and Bailey Sims were killed. Later all the men of the Sims community were run out: of Choctaw cnunty and took refuge in Missi- ssippi. The United States Marshall made an effort to find Sims, but failed. Sims meantime devoted considerable time to writing to the newspapers, and it is re- ported even came to Mobile to consult a lawyer. Sims and his gang attacked the house of John McMillan, near Milvin in Choctaw county, on December 23, set fire to it and massacred many of the inmates, not spar- ing women or children. McMillan was the man who led the citizens when they ran the Simsites out of the country. blow’ is stronghold to splinters he looked W3?!) Sims heérd of the preparation to at hi women folk and his heart misgave He was arrested in August. One of his assertions had been that he would not be called upon to defend himself. The Lord would attend to that. He submitted quietly enough. but; at Bladon Springs. en route to Mobile, his brothers Neal and Jim and his son Bailey assaulted the cabin in which he was confined, killed Dr. A. B. Pugh. who was in the cabin, and severely wounded the guard, a man named Dahl- berg. It was the threat? that a cannon would be brought to bear upon the house that induced Sims to yield. 7 Sims practised as he preached. He erected u whiskey still in a prominent place near his home, constructed a good wagon road thereto and let it be known that he was ready for the government depnties. Sherifi Gavin and his party caught Sims and his followers in Sims’ own houes near Womack Hill, on Christmas eve, and the seige began which ended yesterday after- noon at half-past four with the surrender of Sims, Thomas Savage and young Savage, the nephew of Bob; also Bob’s wife and three daughters. Sims had him marked and 86m; him warninghtg pr_epare_t_o_meet his end. ‘ _ J OHN MCDONALD. Lindsay. Jan. 2nd, 1892. TWO SIMSES KILLED. him. He began a parlev with the sheriff. At two o’clock he said he would surrender if the posse would do him nu injury and if the posse would prutect him from mob violence. A meeting of the pusse was held, which lasted more than two hours, There was great excitement and much diversity of opinion. At first the pro- posal of Sims was flatly refused. but the fact that there were women in the house was a. srroog the In mafes. I'ROMISED PROTECTION. The thnught of shooting wnh cannon into a house harboring women was so tepuwnant that it overcame the alumst wild lungina for the blood of the men out:- ]aws, so that at last, the terms of Sims \\ ere accepted. At half-1 iast fuur ocluck the Simses laid down their anus and came out of the house. The posse were astou- ished to see that instead ‘ of sown (1e: pei. :ttC outlaws there wele only tv.o men and a boyâ€"Bob Sims, Thomas 8:.“th and young Savage. Four wmnentuh’ s u ife and three daughtersâ€"came nut also. The road to Butler is very rough and hilly and is bordered on either side by a thick undergrowth, tram which it would be eaéy for a. hand of determined men to surprise and overpower the posse. -‘ c The men were at once ironed and placed in a wagon. The women were placed in a second wagon and under guard. The procession started for Butler, the country seat of Choctaw county. Sherifi' GIH'IH commanded silence, fearing that snould any words be said his men might get angry and kill their prisoners. While the posse were en route to Butler a. mob of Choctaw county men overpower- ed the posse, and banged the three men. SOLDIERS WERE TOO LATE. Meantime, a detachment of military Mobile, armed with a field piece and service rifles, started to: the seene, but being delayed did not get well away from Mobile until all was over and the assassins were lynched. The troops, however, not knowing What had occurred, proceeded to Shubuta, Miss, and thence over very muddy roads toward Womack Hill. At a. point ten miles out a messenger was met who told of the lynching ot the night before. The news being Confirmed the Soldiers turned back and came home. From being a mere teacher of peculiar principles of religion Sims blossomed into a deeper-aim without equal in this section. He had preached passive resistence to the law. He had advised that no physical force be used in any case, saying that it wculd not be needed. HIS enemies would he cm1flmnded by the higher Power, but when he found that his Lord did not prevent the killing of his brother and son he changed completely and talked of nothing but Hood. “A gallon uf bluod,” said he, “will be exacted for every drop Jim and Bailey shed.” It made no difl‘erence to him whether the blood was that of men, women or chil- dren, so long as the objects of his \en- geance were of the people who had turned their hands against him and his. The Mining Horror in Indian Territory. MCA LLISTER, I. T., Jan. 8,â€"The calamity which occurred near here last night was most, appaling in nature. As a result over 200 men lie dead and 40 fatally and as many more fatally burned at 510 mine N o. 1, owned by the Osage Coal Mining Com- pany at Krebs, four and one-half mlles east of here. At the time of the explosion 350 men were in the shaft, most of whom were waitmg for the cage to take them out, and the foot of the shaft was a mass of dead bodies. Eighty-five men came out by an entry and 42 were saved by the shaft. most of whom are more or less burned or bruised, and half will probably 400 MEN IN THE MINE. At the hour of the explosion, 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, there were as near as can be learned, about 400 men in the mine. They composed the day shift and were just preparing to ascend when the explosion took place. Six men,‘who had already been hoisted from the cage, had just stepped on the platform at the side of the shaft when the accident occurred. The cage was blown through the roof of the tower and 50 feet into the air. A tongue of flame shot up from the shaft and above the ground fully 100 feet, followed by a terrific report. which was heard for miles around and shook all the neighboring country ‘so violently that sanity. injuries. people in the surrofinding mining towns four and five miles away thought an earth- quake was rocking the ground. _. , , 7“ M_ ______ J ...,._,_ The men alregdy shove ground were prostrated by the force of the explosion, but did not receive severe injuries. AWFUL SCENES. The scenes about the mouth of the shaft immediately following the accident were fearful in the extreme. Weeping wives, mothers and sisters flocked there from the villages at the sound of the explosion, their faces blanched with dread and many of them were hysterical to a point of in- die. Wives and mothers eagerly watched each cage as it came up, hoping to see their loved ones, only to turn away dis- appointed. The explosion was caused by firing a shot when gas was in the mine. Twenty-four hours have elapsed since the terrible fatal eXplosion in the Osage mine at Krebs, but it is still impossible to even estimate the number of the victims; From the facts now at hand it is believed that the killed will number fully 100 and the injured 115, about one half of whom will probably die from the effects of their point in favor of mercy to 50 Cents per Year in‘ Advance The air shaft, the only means of escape for the eutmnbed mmers, “as a point where relatives of mihels Cwngreg'ated.

The news of the disusrer syread quickly through the viilages surrounding Krebs. Every physician at once volunteered his services and hastened tn the scene.

Many tunnels were closed entirely and big loose boulders were balanced perilously on shelves of rock adjoining the air she Ft and nmin shaft which a breath cf air might hurl down upon the rescuers. Notwithstanding these dangers the rescuers kept bravely at. their work, and at 5 o’clock this evening had recovered about 40 bodies. The rescuers worked at both the air and main shafts and bodies were rescued by both routes. Those identified were immediately claimed and were carried awav by relutius or friends, so that an accurate count of the number has not yet been made. Those identified number 23. At the various places used as morgues there were about 17 unidentified bodies and pieces of human flesh. The rescuers can hear faint knockings and far-off shoutings. They are digging in the direction whence the sounds come and hope yet to weaver some of the men alive. BERLIN, Jan. lO.â€"-In this city the opin- ion is expressed that :20 liliedixe lost his life through placing too much confidence in native doctors. He may have died from an overdose of morphine administer- ed to him by Dr. Salem Pasha, but it is not thought that it was done intentionally. It is supposed that he was alarmed bv the symptoms which de\ elolned in the Khedive after he had given him lllc overdose of medicine, and that, fearing that his own life would pay the penalty for the mistake he decided to run away. It should be added that the cause of the Khedive’s death is looked on here as a matter of secondary importance in View of what the Tories and Unionists style the splendid, bold diplomacy of Lord Salisbury in taking the bull by the horns in Eqpt, placing Prince Abbas upon the throne be- fore France recovered her surprise at the Khedive’s death. and thus getting for England an additional and much firmer grip upon the land of the Pharaohs. Lord Salisbury’s prompt action is said to have been worthy of Disraeli himself, and is alleged to show that the “ pupil of Beaconsfield” is worthy of the mantle which he is said to have inherited. Nobody doubts that the youth of the new Khedive will be made to furnish an- other pretext for another prulurgation of the occupation of Egypt by the troops of Great Britain. Lozwox, Jun. 10.â€"The Cairo corres- pondent of The Daily News says : Much indignation is expressed here at the native doctor’s treatment of the Khedive case and there is a general belief that the Khedive’s life might; have been saved if proper medical skill had been applied earlier. The local press is unanimous in declaring that British evacuation of Egypt is an impossibility now. The new Khedive will have a difiiculttask in fight- ing against the intrigues which must beset him on all sides. It is understood in diplonmtic circles in Constantinople that the accession of Abbas Pasha will not altar the present situation between Turkey and England. Dr. Hesse and Dr. Comanos. the two European doctors who attended the Khedive during the last hours of his life have presented to the premier their promised joint report of the case. They report that the patient had been attacked by infectious pneumonia after being seized with influenza. complicated by nephritis, which caused his death. An inquiry into the treatment which the Khedivc received is to be held. Dr. Rogers Pasha, chief of the Egyptian sanitary service, will preside. H e will be assisted by Dr. Will Angerman, Dr. Binet, a. F renchman, and two native physicians. Mr. Mercier expresses confidence in the result of the Quebec elections being {wowble to his party.
