It is there stated 'that a shipment of 50 quarters, 400 English bushels, of the barley grown from that seed,‘weighing about. 52 lbs. per bushel, ‘ had been forWarded to London, England, to be malted and brewed by one of the leading brewers there. This barley eon- sisted of five or six lots, grown in differ- ent parts of Ontario. It was all forwarded to Omawa, where the barley was thorough- ly cleaned and mited under my super- vision, and the small kernels and as much as possible of the broken grain removed by passing it through a sizer or boby machine, so that the sample was fairly uniform in character. uniform in character.

The returns re- ceived fer-Some of the shipments are said to have been very unsatisfactory, having resulted in loss to the shippers. This (lisappiiintment. however, is élearly trace- able tn want of care in threshing, cleaning and grading the grain. Thevfault lies part1} with the farmer, who must exercise mere care in handling this crop if it. is to , bring him its full value. In a letter ' written by a practical Canadian maltster who recently visited England in Connec- rion with the barley business of his firm, he says, when referring: to the disappoint- ing s:tles:-â€"“Shippers have not kept: faith With the brokers or purchasers as to quality, the bulk Was not equal to the sample." Again, “All brewers who saw the Government farm samples at the brewers’ exhibition were charmed with them, and millions could haze been sold, but the general crop did not equal the samples. I may say that unless the Can- adian barley can be threshed so as to amid the large proportion of half and broken grains, winch cause execssive mould on the floors, the trade won’t materialize. All English maltstcrs agree on this point.” This gentleman speaks quite hopefully 0‘ the Canadian six-rowed barley for the English market, and says it is beginning to find favour with several maltsters who have tried it. Enough has, I think, been said to show that if the Canadian farmer will exercise the requisite care in the selection of good ‘ clean seed, and in the cultivation of this grain, also in threshing and cleaning it for the market, avoiding all mixing; and if the shipper willisee that the bulk of the grain he sends is equal to the samples forwarded there seems no reason, to doubt that a l satisfactory trade in two-rowed barley can - - â€"- a.

TOWN COUNCIL. dares Lundy Deliberately Shoots Down HIS Wife. BhVMPTON, Ont, April 22.â€"Last Janu- ary James Lundy and his family came to Brampton from their farm on the first line West Chinguacousy, and they made their home in a three-story brick tenement ,known as the “Brampton House,” in Main-street. Shortlv after their arrival people began to talk (if their unhappy re- lationship existing between Lundy and his wife. and they were said to quarrel fre- qently. Money matters formed a large part of the trouble and to escape having his property seized for debt it is said Lundy deeded his farm to his wife, and he claimed that his wife and her brother were trying to euchre him out cf it and turn him adrift. THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER ALSO. J ealously was another factor in their trouble. It is reported he drank to excess. 'l‘he culmination was reached at 9.15 to- night. In the handsmnely furnished pa"- lor were gathered Mrs. Lundy, her daugh- ter. s young Woman, and two sons, one of whom is a man and the other a small boy. Besides these were James McKinnon, Mrs. Lundy’s brother; 1‘. Sellwood and his wife and William Tracey and wife All were Spending a pleasant evening. piano going and the usual good time. The ‘ story told by one present: is that Lundy cane into the room behind the parlor, hid- den by curtains, and began muttering in an undertone. and Mrs. Lundy went over to him and said : “Please don’t come in now,” and the couple withdrew to the kitchen, further back, Lundy all the ‘ while growling in an undertone. WIFE MURDER AT BRAMPTON. A PISTOL SHOT HANG OUT. They had not got beyond the hearing of the company when a pistol shot rang out, followed by a woman’s scream, and your informant rushed into the hall leading to the kitchen and another shot followed. rIe dashed into the kitchen and was near- ly blinded by the flash of a third report. 1' .u- .3â€" LLA "Apnoea LJ llllua‘~v:w -J . , _. Throwmg hlmself on Lundy the w1tness held him fast, the man struggling like 4 maniaC' Help came quickly and the revolver was secured. Lying on the floor was the dead body of Mrs. Lundy. One ball entered the left temple and another just blow the chin on the same side, penetrating the jugular vein, and death must haVe been almost c: instantaneous. The one scream was the only utterance the poor woman made. The dead body lay parallel with the wall of the kitchen, her feet slightly apart, touching: the threshold of the docrâ€"a hor- rible, sickening sightâ€"1n a bath of blood. THE MURDERER ARRESTED. Lundy was placed under arrest and taken to jail by Chief Orth. The murder- er was calm and perfectly sober. The 1 murdered woman whose maiden name was McKinnon, was a tall, dark, finely-devel- oped womanâ€"a striking stylish woman on the streets. She was about 49 years of age. The murderer is a. medium sized man 53 years of age. He has a shifty nervous manner, which too much liquor has not improved. The fatal weapon is a self~actimz 32- calibre Smith 65 Wesson six-shooter. Three chambers were loaded when taken from Lundy. Coroner Mullin and Crown Attorney McFadden empanelled 9 jury, who view- ed the body at 11 pm. and adjourned until 2 p.m. Saturday, when the inquest will be continued. Lundy's family connection in Peel is very large and the utmost excitement emsts over the afi'air. GLOBIES IN HIS DEED. It appears Lundy has not been living at home for several weeks, but has been stay- ing at the Revere House. and about 8.30 the murderer entered the Royal Hotel and asked for supper and he got it. It was noticed he was very pale. He then went to the Revere and got a drink and after- } wards droceeded to his home. entering the house noiselessly. The only explanation given by Lundy was he had stood it 22 years and this thing had to come some time. He express- ed no sorrow for his act, but regretted he had not been allowed to use the remain- ing two shots on himself. The third bullet has been found in the wall of the kitchen. A touching scene was the grief of the daughter, a handsome girl who threw herself on the dead body, crying, “Mother, mother!” the old-time and familiar green goods racket on residents of this vicinity. The result was that Chief Roszel was put on the scent and has the alleged would-be crook behind the bars. The story of the young man’s dealings as far as can be discreetly told at present is not long. On Wednesday, April 6th,‘ Chief Roszel received a letter from Mr. W. J. Edmison, of Harwood, enclosing A. GREEN GOODS COMMUNICATION he had received. The communication was afterthe usual style of green goods epistles and enclosed a blank to be filled out and returned to F. 0. Austin, Box 664, Peter- 50 Cents how. The letter Mr. Edmison had re- ceived as follows :-â€"- (CONFIDENTIAL. ) DEAR Snagâ€"You have been referred to me as a person in a position to handle my goods with discretion and I have conclud- ed to wrxte you and if you don’t care to invest I pray you will not do me an injury.

Please destroy this letter. This letter as will be seen is a copy of the type-written documents sent all over the country by New York crooks. In this case it was written and in no very expert hand-writing either. Chief Rnszel at once went to the post office and found that â€"USE~â€" HIGINBOTHAM’S \NSEGT - pawm . FOB LI CE 0N CATTLE BOX 664 HAD BEEN BES’I‘ED on the previous Saturday by a young man who was unknown to the post office ofii- cials and who gave his name F. C. Austin. The chief registered an envelope to the holder of Box 664 and Constable Adams went on guard at the office to capture the suspected green goods man should be ap- pear to get his registered letter. Day after day passed and no Mr. Austin put in an t- __-J LLnL :« any-no V"; rw-"vv- 'mv , appearance and it was feared that in some way he had become aware of the vigilance of the police and had abandoned the net he had set to catch any who were anxious to have money, no matter how they got it. But the police did not give up their case, but laid plans for the arrest of Mr. Austin if he came after his registered letter. This morning they were rewarded, for the un- suspecting young man walked into the post oflice,secured his registered letter and a. few minutes later was in the police cells behind the bars with a. serious charge to “hen searched at the police station among other things found on his person was one of the type-written green goods letter, the one probably from which be had copied those he had sent out. Among the little cash he had on his person was a spur- ious fifty cent piece. He said his preper ‘name was W. J. Young and that for the past six weeks he had teen living with his. uncle, Mr. John Wood, at Keene. Prior to this he said he lived at Warkworth. He gave his age as twenty-one years and his occupation as an artist. He is a young man with a clean shaven face and well- dressed.

At ten o’clock he was brought before Police Magistrate Bumble and charged : with offering with sale counterfeit money. He pleaded not guilty and was remanded until Friday next. In the meantime de- velopments will be made in order. TORONTO, April illâ€"Alfred Lucas and Ernest Lucas, brothers, aged respectively seven and eight years, and Henry Prittie, aged twelve, were playing in an excava- tion made in a street in the northwestern part of the city, this afternoon. They set. to work to dig a cave in the side Of the embankment, which was made of sand, and gave way when they had made a con- siderable cavity. A lad looking on warn- ed the three boys what would happen. but they did not heed him. The three were completely buried by the earth. The fourth had started for help, but was so horror-struck that he lost his presence of mind, and several minutes passed before he made anyone aware of what had hap- pened. All haste was then made, and the three boys were taken out fifteen minutes after thev were buried, but-it was too late.
