{J NEW NGV 31.8 Y Lindsay’s Prospects. There are few towns in the province whose prospects look brighter today than Lindsay. With the opening of spring, the new system of waterworks will be commenced, giving a large amount of work to our laborers and mechanics, and the almost certainty of the woodenware factory being erected immediately, the promoters of which are now here endeavoring to make the required arrangements. Then there is every probability of the new railway being commenced this summer, so that the population of the town will not only be materially augumented, but an immense outlay will be the result. There are none who will not be benefitt- ed by these improvements and 1t behooves our leading men to loose no time in having the negociation now pending brought to a. successful issue. PRL’VCESS MAZAROFF ANOTHER MAzV’S Bride The Elections. THERE never have been elections in this County which have created such surprise as to the results, as those of last Thursday. In the South Riding we were aware that the “margin” was very limited, and that It required every vote to sustain the previous majority, as in the gains secured by the revision of the voters’ lists it was believed the Reformers had the majoritv, although slight, and that party went into the fight to work and win. We are glad, however, to state that the campaign in this riding was conducted by both parties with little or no ill-feeling, and that consequently the excitement has simmered d0wn to such an extent that all have turned their attention to busi- 11.715 Cf/[EL 0F .MONICA We have an energetic mayor in Mr. Ray, who has the support of the whole council, and he is doing all he can to forward the projects, but he must have the assistance of our leading citizens in A IVOflIAjV’S REVENGE the good work. Let all lend a. hand to push these enterprises to a successful issue. ness again. The largely increased majority no doubt is in a great measure due to many causes, among which are that the election would not effect the standing of the government, and that a great deal of sympathy was felt for Mr. Fairbairn, who has had so many con- tests in such a short space of time, and then the prospect of Government aid to the Pontypool and Bobcaygeon Railway. This grant was promised by the late premier Sir John. A. Mcdonald and on his demise, and the Abbott ministry being formed they admitted our claim but declined making railway grants that session, however stating that the Bobcaygeon line would be among the first grants made. Mr. Walters made a good fight, perhaps better than any other the Reformers could have selected, but the South riding is Conservative and unless some disturbing element is introduced, will invariably return a Conservative. Mr. Fairbairn’s majority is 228. With regard to the North riding, we axe unable to get the oflicinl figures this week and will leave our remarks for n tnture issue. The majority for Mt.

THE second session of the seventh parliament of the Ontario Legislature which met on Thursday last has not attracted so much attention as usual, owing perhaps to the number of bye- elections taking place throughout the Province. However there has not been much business transacted, and it is only Flavelle‘s Rinkâ€"An Aggregation of Easterner’s Hard to Beat. (From the I'Vz'nn'ipeg T ribzme,) One of the “features” of each suc- cessive honspiel is, as a. member of the executive remarked last evening, the annual visit of the celebrated Flavelle rink, and many a hearty handshake have the Easteners received since they landed here on Monday morning. The skip is the same old Flavelle. He stepped on the “congealed water.” as the Yankees call the ice, with the same elastic step, and he plays the Same old, reliable, steady game. Flavelle is not a Scotchman. He is of Irish Canadian descent. For tl e past sixteen years, since 1876, he has been an active and on 'J uesday that the members settled down to business by the introduction of several bills. No doubt a large amount of work will be got through with during the next few weeks. THE WINNIPEG PRESS ON THE LIND- SAY TEAM OF CURLES. a successful :urler, playing all over the continent where the temperature is suited to the popular sport, at Montreal, Chatham, St. John’s, Halifax, Port Arthur, Winnipeg and numerous other points. He has frequently met the Yankees of New York, and a great game they play, but of all the curlers Flavelle is prepared to back up the statement that none display enthusiasm tact and skill surpassing these of M ani- toha and the North-west. Mr. Flavelle is ex-president of the Ontario branch cf the R. C. C. 0., and his advice on curling matters is always by the book consequently he is held in high esteem and much respected by the fraternity. This is his fourth successive visit to attend the annual lzonspiel. In 1889 and 1890 he came very near carrying of? several handsome prizes, but it was not until 1891 that patience, persever- ance and pluck were rewarded and Flavelle’s rink won the International trophy and four gold medals, also the All-Curlers’ tankard, and the third prize in the Grand Challenge competi- tion, in addition toindividual prizes in the points competition. The people in the cast are proud of him, so are the people. in the west, and as Mr Gait, president of the branch, remarked, it would never do to have a bonspiel without Mr. Flavelle’s presence. W. H. Simpson, lead in the Flavelle rink, is in bu -iness at Lindsay. He has curled for five years. This is his second visit to Manitoba. J. M. McLennan, the second, is a brother of McLennan who was here last year. He is a. Highland Scotchman and has handled the besom for five years. J. A. McMillan, the tall and active‘ young fellow who plays third, is too well-known to need introduction. He was in the same capacity last year and made an excellent record for himself. Mr. Flavelle regards him as one of the best all-round curlers in Ontario. ( F rom the Free Press.) Famous Flavel‘e is a hard man for the interviewer to get hold of ; his soul is wrapped up in curling, and when not on the ice he devotes his few spare moments to studying other scores, and despaiching papers to his many admir- ing and anxious friends down east ; but his spare moments are few, for Mr. Flavelle’s intense enthusiasm for the noble game enforces on him the stern duties of keeping himself and his fellows in the best of training ; and to keep in the fittest condition, he takes every care of his valuable self; after discarding his well-known cardigan waistcoat, which during the match has been the cynosure of so many eyes, he promptly rushes up to his room to snatch a much needed repose, if only of forty winks, and the skip bobs up serenely in time for a hearty, though careful meal, and is all ready for the next game. He is curling enthusuasm and energy, perfectly per- sonified, and lets nothing interfere with his serious pursuit of the art. mgr; CINCINNATI. Feb. 14.â€"Meredith Stan- ley, the bridge jumper, made what in all probability will prove a fatal leap to-duy from the Cincinnati and Covinqtun bridge a distance of over 100 feet, into the Ohio. Only a. few weeks ago Stanley and his wife made a. successful double leap from the Chesapeake and Ohio railway bridge. Since then they have been on exhibition at. a dime museum in this city. _ Stanley is now lying in bed suffering intensely and unable to talk.

All knowledge of the pr0posed jump was confined to those who had subscribed to the purse. At the hour named he walked out into the centre of the bridge and made the leap. A3_he jumped he saw a piece of wood floating in the water and turned his body in the descent to avoid striking. In consequence he fell on his side and when he sank into the water he did not reappear very soon When he came up it; was seen that he was hurt. A boat took him to the shore, where he was dressed and taken home. Those who subscribed to the purse were alarmed at the result, and made themselves scarce without handing over the money. LONDON, Feb. 12,â€".A despatch from Penza, capital of the Government of that name, in the south-western part of What is know as Great Russia, is published in The Chronicle to-day. The despatch says the thermometer registered 58 degrees below zero, and that there is terrible sufl‘ering among the peasants. A number of men have been frozen to death on the high roads. and so intensely cold is it that: birds drop dead from the trees in which they have sought shelter. None of the children in Penza are allowed to go to school. A quantity of grain for the famine sufferers has arrived at Penza, but it is impossible to distribute it among the peasants in the surrounding country owing to the fact that nearly all the horses have been killed for food or sold to pro- cure money with which to buy the abso- lute necessaries of life. Five thousand horses have been killed in Penza alone and it is estimated several thousand domestic animals have been killed throughout the empire since autumn. The peasants have smallpox and diphtheria. Around Penza 200 peasants have died from these diseases. The despatch adds that in the governments of Namara, Saratov and Nijni-lNovgorod the conditi- tions are far worse than at Penza. Ontario Cattle Men Alarmed Over the Possibility of British Ports Being Closed Against Canadian Cattle. OTTAWA, February 13.â€"-The cable in Thursday’s Star from London in reference to the agitation in England against the im- portation of live cattle has attracted con siderable attention here. It will be re- membered that the Star’s London corres- pondent ended hisdespatch with the follow - ing remark : “ The situation is one of grave peril to the Canadian trade, and the Canadian Government may perhaps strengthen the position by promptly an- nouncing a rigid quarantine against United States Cattle entering: British Columbia as well as the rest of Canada.” BOCCAYGEON.

He had, he said. no official information upon the subject and only knew what he had seen in the IIeWSPapers. He did not know if any basis for a renewal of the English attacks upon Canadian cattle exports existed, for noth- ing had arisen of late on this side of the Atlantic to give rise to any such crusade. The Department here had no knowledge of the existence of any disease amonar Canadian cattle either in British Columbia or in any other province. In fact the cattle of the Dominion were, so far as the Department was aware, in an unusual healthy condition. It might be that the English speculators opposed to the im- portation of live cattle had taken advan- tage of the recent scheduling of Danish cattle in consequence of an outbreak of pleura-pneumonia in Demark to revive the agitation of last year, but he could not be- lieve that it would have any effect upon the Canadian trade. LONDON, Feb. 14.â€"-â€"There is something portentous in the simultaneous assembling in the Levant of the fleets of the great powers. Since it became known that the French and Russian squadrons in the Mediterranean are going to Alexandria orders have been sent to the Austrian Admiral Rahrcheid, now at Smyrna, to sail with his five warships for the Piraeus, where his squadron will be joined by two Italian ironclads and a division of the German squadrons. Within a fortnight the united squsdrons of the Dreibund will be within operating distance of the English fleet at Alexandria. If France’s design is to impress the Khedive by a naval demonstration, England and her allies are ready to make a more impressive demonstration. The Secretary of the British Embassy in Constantinople had an audience with the Sultan yesterday, and it is semi- officially announced to-day that the firman of inVestiture of the present Khedive of Egypt has been prepared. and that it is worded in the exact terms of the firman investigating the late Khedive Tewfik Pasha. This is regarded as a signal success for English diplomacy, as it defeats the attempts to induce the Sultan to insert in the firman instructions to the Khedive reflecting upon the English supremacy in Egypt. The Sultan pre- ferred to adhere to the old form in order not to embarrass the Khedive. The fire marshal’s report as to the origination of the Hotel Royal fire in New York makes it appear that the fire originated in the elevator shaft, and that the night engineer must have started the blaze with a candle which he carried while examining the gas pipe connection. .28 .75 .75 .46 .71 271 199 287 136 51 295 495 415 61 Impressing the Khedive, 199 287 295 495 53 27 23 41 73 70 100 . 91 111 71 671 415 “803*? vh-qcu 14 21 51 82 73 51 69 45 52 25 131 78 112 50 25 301 192 109 164 157 55 102 74 107 103 71 51 495 67 99 58 77 82 75 71 98 59 19 o 36 16 37 328 322 599 116 110 91 112 121 75 27 100 13 37 18 55 89 67 55 47 16 73 Adjourned saEeof Lands for Taxes Wheras at the sale of lands for arrears of taxes held at the Court House, Lindsay, on the 17th day of February, instant, the undersigned Treasurer of the Ccunty of Victoria, failed to sell a number of parcels of land for the amount of arrears of taxes due thereon. and whereas I did at such sale give notice that I would at an ad- journed sale. to be held cn Wednesday, 2nd March, 1892, at eleven o’clock in the forenoon, sell such lands for such sums as I could realize, and would accept such Sums as full payment of said arrears of taxes.
