prote- for flu tivea I hold i land I: that ( trude : Unite- val-N Pric'es' sum 3 had been elected by very slight majorities. In fact so slight were some of them that if the constable votes were deducted Mr. Whitney’s follower would get the seat. Here was a. situation of more than usual interest especially when the change of a very few seats wOuld determine the governing party for the next term- While looking into the books Mr. Whitney and his lieutenants made a discovery. They found that in the statutes naming the officials who shou‘d vote, constables were not men‘- tioned. True, it was not said they should not, but here was a chance, at least of depriving these very important functionaries of the franchise and thereby make Mr. Hirdy feel the chill of opposition benches. In several :protests this point was entered as a This is a game that is of very little interest to the average man, but it is just now being enthusiastically con ducted by the machine men of party politics in Ontario. When the election was held in March last everybody supposed that constables had votes like ordinary people. When the smoke had cleared away it was found that several of the liberal candidates LAUREL GREE Firs! Door Wat of Benson House.

They re quire a cool day to discuss matters relating to party politics. But here was a difficulty. Before the cool weather some of these protests will be heard. With the point unsettled it. would be impossible to dispose of them. Mr. Hardy, consulting convenience and security, has determined to remove this difficulty and any danger there was of an unfavorable decision from these aforesaid cool-weather gentlemen, and called the house to make a statute saying that constables have had and now have the right to vote. With such reading in the books Mr. \Vhibâ€" ney’s hopes from that source vanish away. It is a clear case of diamond cut! diamond and Greek meet Greek. This skirmisbing might have been expected between two leaders of such ability es Mr. Hardy and Mr. Whitney. As to what the result would be if the court of appeal were allowed to interpret the statute as it now stands, it is of course impossible to Bay. It might be held that since poll clerks and return- ing oflicers are mentioned as having a. right to vote and constables are not so mentioned they therefore cert-En 1y cannot vote. On the other hand it is possible that it would be decided, that since it is not aid constnbles shell not vote, therefore they hsve the same right to vote as any body else!

No artificial temperature of this degree can be created by any known means.

'ljhe report was circulated like the news of a fire last night that two arrests had been made in Montreal, but no authori- tative confirmation of this report has been received. The tact that Detective Dough- erty returns to town at 2.30 a.m. to-day from Montreal, and that Mr. Porter had been allowed to see his client, seems to show that something important in the eyes of the police has been accomplished, and that they fear no “questing" of their game. It was also rumored that Mackie had made a confession yesterday after- noon, but the police are silent, and Mr. Wilson, Mackie's lawyer, is in Belleville, arranging the details of his client’s de- fence, and will not be back till Wednes- They Doubt the Bonn Tide: of the Pure Contession-Ponton May Be Admitted to Bail Yetâ€"Mr. E.

The People Doubt Pare. The people in town are not satisfied with the bare confession of Prisoner Pare. Having regard to his past, they are clamoring for some additional evidence of Ponton’s complicity.

The bank robbery case is getting in its evil educative effects. It seems as if inedi- tation upon the ways of the professional cruoksmun has produced in the minds of some persons a desire to emulate their example. Yesterday morning early the provision store of Casey Denison on Cen- tre street was broken into and about $50 worth of goods extracted. An entrance was made through the north door of the store, by means of boring an anger hole large enough to admit a small hand. Then the single bolt that held the door was drawn back and the store was at the mercy of the depredntors. Chief Adams has the case in hand and doubtless, spurred on by the work of his friends, the detectives, he will do something to distinguish himself. Attempt to Rescue Mackle. Tramps in large numbers are known to be in the vicinity of Nupanee. The County Treasurer's cow has been milked by them, while private berry patches have been stripped by the prowlers.

In the opinion of the guard the only way in which a prisoner could be got out would be by an outside party climbing up the outside wall. and creeping along the bisecting wall and feeling hie way into the corridors. Then it would be necessary to file a. couple ot bars and let i the prisoner out. Once tree from the jail ‘ it would be easy for the escaped to catch a train going up the steep grade 3 mile east or the town. “but that won’t be done," significantly cold the guard, no great precautions are token by the guard- during the night.
