Chatham, June 20.â€"-About halfâ€"past nine last night a fatal stabbing afl'ray took place at the Agricultural grounds, south of the G. T, R. station. Two young men, Frank Barr and Thornton Taylor, With a couple of . young women, were sitting on the steps by the sidewalk when Gus. Park and another young man named Yeomans came along. Park stopped and Barr as: sailed him in abusive language, ordering him to move on. Then, it is alleged, > Park drew out an knife and Barr threw off his coat. The two girls clung to Barr to keep him from fighting, and Taylor took hold of Park and told him to go on and not heed Frank, for he Was drunk. Tay- lor then turned round and went back to Barr to hold him when, just as he did so Park struck Barr over Taylor’s shoulder. Barr ran a few paces and came back, say- ing : “ I’m a dead boy ; I’m cut.” He staggered. and the rest ran to his assis- tance, the blood flowing in torrents from a ghastly wound over the left breast. Be- fore he could be carried to hishome near by he was dead. Park at once gave him- self into custody. _ fl '717‘_AJ Dfill LLALV vuuuv‘.‘l . Barr was the only support of a widowed mother.

The Green Midge Doing Much Damage to Grain in indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, Incl, June 20,â€"Com- plaints about the destruction of wheat by a strange insect are increasing.

The season has its ef- fectsâ€"the milk in the spring is supposed to be best for calves, in summer it is best suited for chase, and in autumn the but- ter keeping better than in summer. Cows less frequently milked than others give rich milk. and consequently much better. The morning’s milk is much richer than the evening’s. The last drawn milk of each milking. at all times and seasons, is richer than the first drawn, which is the poorest. â€"‘ - -I AI-.- Why Canada Detests the Clan. NEW YORK, June 21.â€"An Ottawa special to The World says: The Deputy Minister of Justice stated to The World correspond- ent to-day that if the authorities at Chicego are able to substantiate the charges made against Burke or convince the judge presiding at Winnipeg that there are just and reasonable grounds for demanding his extradition, an order will issue at once. “ ‘- - H u ,- _:11 "‘Most assuredly,” he said, “we will not delay the issuing of a warrant here a moment when the case comes before us. The American people are now beginning to realize the dangerous element they have among them in the Clan-na-Gael Society, the influence of which society defeated the Extradition Treaty in the United States Senate. The Dominion Government has evidence that this society a year or so ago had planned the destruct- ‘ ion of the Parliament buildings here and ‘ the assassination of Lord Lansdowne, then ’Governor-General. We discovered the plot and frustrated their murderous de- signs, and it is hardly to be wondered that any member of the society against whom there are strong evidences of complicity in murder should expect much leniency from the executive at Ottawa. Every facility will be given to expedite matters and effect the surrender of Burke if there is the least evidence to warrant the belief that he was connected with the Cronin murder.” Yet another tragedy is reported to have ‘ taken place in the locked compartment of ‘ an English railway carriage. Miss Emily Lister, the head teacher of a school at Devizes, was travelling with a young man named Keeling who had been paying his addresses to her, but Whom she did not like. Desiring to get him to leave Devizes, where he had been visiting during the Whitsuntide holidays, Miss Lister had of- fered: to accompany him part of the way on his road back to Birmingham. Being en- 1 raged by her refusal to accept him as her lover, Keeling shot her twice as the train was going at full speed and then threw the , L1. -_. -‘LAL bodfout'of .IU Aluu wvv -- .~ has caused intense excitement in Facts About Milk. .v.... 7‘: , the window.

KINGSTON, June 21.â€"â€"A very serious ac- cident, which may result in the loss of sev- eral lives, occurred at Gananoque last evening. In the wheel shop there is a large elevator, on which four men went up to get a load of spokes. The elevator was loaded, and on the way down the wire. broke, and down came spokes, men and elevator fully three storeys. The men re- ceived an awful shock. D. J. Reid had his scalp laid open, while a boy named J. Johnston was hurt inwardly to such an ex- tent that he may not recover. It is thought that his spine is broken. F. Black is also badly hurt, one of his legs being mangled and head out. He is also inter- : nally hurt. A fourth, named Thomas ‘Clark, was also severely hurt. His cuts and bruises are so numerous that he is thought to be fatally injured. The moans of the men while they were being extri- cated were terrible to hear. The accident has cast a gloom over the village. WINNIPEG, June 21.â€"â€"-Interest in the case of Burke, under arrest for the mur- der of Cronin, was intensified this after- noon by the mysterious movements of the authorities. Martinson, the expressman who had carted the furniture to the Carl- son cottage. accompanied by another Chicago ofiicial arrived by the midday train and with all secrecy made arrange- ments for him to identify the suspect. Fifty-two persons gathered in the jail yard this evening, amongst them being citizens, several prisoners in ordinary clothing. and Burke. They were “told off” and Mar- tinson, walking slowly up and down, look- ; ed at each man. Burke was stationed about the middle of the line, standing with his hands in his pockets and his eyes averted from ' Martinson. The latter ‘ directly recognized him, and took down ‘ Burke’s number. It was stated by those acting for the Crown that they were perfectly satisfied with the iden~ tification and would need no further proof. The authorities still maintain pro- found secrecy and will say nothing at all. The identity of the official whoarrived with Martinson is kepta secret, but it is under- ' stood he is one of the leading ofiimals on the Chicago detective force.

I offer the experience of one family hop- 1 ing it may be of use. Our children had not lived many years before we were con- vinced that grown people cannot judge of the young, so we resolved that they should never be denied food when they asked for it, and concluded that good brown bread was least likely to hurt them. I do not think we should allow a. child to eat all the time, but we were never troubled in this way. When the children Usvuvau“ -.- ----.. . were young we had a large three-seated ‘fcarryoallf into which we used to pack and drive to woods or streams within ten miles, and spend as many hours as they were interested or happy. A can of milk, dry bread and fruit was the only lunch they ever had or wanted. Visitors who sometimes went with us used to think it unkind treatment, till thev saw with what ‘ hearty appetites the bread was eaten, and 9 realized how harmless bread crumbs are. One afternoon their father took two of 1 them, about six and eight years of age, to another part of the country, and returning had to wait a few moments at the Broad Street station. The children complained of hunger and were taken into a restau- rant, yvhere the waiter vied with their father in offering tempting cakes. In vain nothing suited, till, somewhat out of pa- 1 (K‘ITATI “.Lny Children’s Luncheo1s on Excursions. tience, Spring Stock of CARRIAGES (Top and Open), SINGLE BUGGIES, GLADSTONES, ROAD CARTS and WAGGONS, Fall of an Elevator. ’ buxucu, uus, HunnAv u--v.- ‘ their father asked, “Well, what do you want?” “A piece of bread,” was the meek reply, and the waiter had a. very disgusted look on lns face as each clnld turned away with n. lalf loaf of bread and a. contented face. Fven small children can be taught that eating in public is' scarcely permissable, but plain bread, pro- perly eaten, annoys others as little asany- thing can. Would it not be a good idea for groyvn people, too, to look upon" their pic-nics and days of “outing” as oppor- tunities to enjoy the country,‘to get exer- 01se and fresh air and to be satisfied With bread? THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1889. Beau Brummell. His grandfather was a confectioner, whose son got a government appointment and was able to sendthe Beau to Eton and Oxford. Of course the only profession he could enter was that man-millinery afl'air, the Tenth Hussars. .So little did he know of the business of an-oflicer that on parade he never could find his troop. Fortunately, there was a soldier in it who had a great blue nose, which served as his beacon and his guide. One day the soldier was absent, and Brummell late ‘ as , usual, was looking out for him. The old colonel thundered, “ Why don’t you find. your troop?” “ Why, sir,” said the im- perturable Brummell, “I am looking for my nose.” At last he gave up the army. The regiment was ordered to Manchester, and he really had to draw the line at that. On one occasion Brummell thought, or pretended to think himself invited to some- body’s country seat, and being given to understand after one night’s lodging that he Was in error, he told a friend in town, who asked him what sort of a place it was, that it was an “ exceedingly roocl place for stopping one night in.” Manchester seemed to him not to be good enough to stop even one :night in.-â€"â€"The Gentbemnn’s lVIaqazine.
