DER - OIL TORONTO. mm Mr. Freeman, of the company who was present at the council delivered the $10000 stock which the town received for the old system of waterworks. That gentleman then thanked the council for the compli- mentary remarks made by the several Capt. Crandell stated that he had been opposed to the council giving the valuable franchiee to a company, but he at the same time agreed with others that the work was well done. and did not blame the company to take a good thing, and make a good bargain. Mr. Winters, and several other members of the council spoke in very complimentry terms of the manner in which the works were carried through, and referred in flatâ€" tering terms to Mr- Calkins the manager. for his uniform kindness. The Mayor coincided with the several members, and he was glad to state that during the work there was but one accident. Where one of the men had a leg broken, but to show the liberality of Mr. Calkins, his wages were paid weekly until the works were finished. Mr. J 05. Brown was heard in reference to the terms of granting licences to liveries for the last portxon of the year. On motion of Mr. Wlnters, seconded by Mr. Robson, the thanks of the council were tendered to the Water-works Co., and all concerned in the construction of the Lindsay \Vater-Works, for the satis~ factory manner in which the work has been carried out. On motion of Cam. Crandell, seconded by Mr. Fee, Mr. R. Brown’s bill for posting bills was refelred to the committee on town property. The regular meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday evening. Present, the Mayor, Reeve Kylie, Dy.- Reeves Winters and Crandell, and Conn- cillors Connolly, Head, Robson, Touch- burn, Mellon, Bryans, Fee. Mr. Morton was heard by the council in reference to the defective drainage near his property on Sussex street, and asked for tiles to drain the same. On motion of Mr. Robson, seconded by Mr. Winters the tiles were granted. On motion of Mr. Mallon, seconded by Capt. Crandell, it was resolved that the council request the directors of the Ponty- pool, Lindsay and Bobcaygeon Railway, to call a meeting at an early day of the mem- bers of the councils of the municipalities ofManvers, Ops, Vcrulam and Bobcaygeon, to take steps to promote the scheme. Mr. R(.bSOIl presented the report of the street and bride committe which was adonted. That the system of water-works, con- structed by the Lindsay Water-works Co. in pursuance of their contract with the town was to-day tested in the presence of the members of the committee and others and fully complied with the tests provided for in section 7 of clause 4 of the contract. Mr. Kylie presented the following report of the fire and water committee: -â€" The minutes of last meeting were read and approved. From J. D.

Mr. Mellon presented :he report of the police committee which was adopted. A petition was presented to the council by Col. Deacon and S. Irwin Esq., signed by a large number of ratepayers, praying that the council would take the necessary steps to have a free library established in the town. They pointed out the necess- ity there existed for such an establish- ment. and compared Lindsay with several towns where such libraries were a great benefit to the inhabitants and particularly to the youth of the several places, and after suggesting that a by-law be submit- ted for that purpose to the ratepayers at the January elections, they left the matter in the hands of the council. The mayor concurred with the opinions ex- pressed by the deputation, and said he had no doubt his "ministry” would take the matter into their “serious consider- ation.” Mr. Winters presented the report of the finance committee which was adopted. LINDSAY, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20th I892- TOWN COUNCIL; COMMUNICATIONS. At the station the men gave their names as Thos. Burke, of Guelph, and John Wilson, of Detroit. Burke is said to be the one who shot Phair. The authorities say they believe the names to be false. Intense excitement reigns in the neigh- borhood of the shooting and about the principal streets groups can be seen talk- ing of the affair. One of the bullets entered a window in the Separate school house, startling the Sister to such an extent that she fainted. The doctors have been unable to find the bullet lodged in Phair’s body. While being carried to his home he remarked to the by standers: “Boys, 1’m shot; I’m afraid I’m done for.” The members of the police force feel the result of the shooting keenly as Mr. Phair is well liked, being of a quiet and unassuming character. At a late hour to- night Detective Phair is reported as being very low, and it is extremely doubtful whether he will recover or not. The xionncil then adjourned to Mr. T. McConnell’s dining iroom, where Mr. Freeman had set up a delicious supper of bivalves, which, considering the extra- ordinary amount of business transacted during the evening, were satisfactorily dis osed of, and the wearied councillors an reporters wended their way homeward near the maximum figure 0’ the clock. Policeman Woolway was encountered at the corner of Dufl‘erin and Park avenues, but was compelled to turn at the revoluer’s mouth. Finally the men made a break for Victoria park adjoining, shoot- ing at the following crowd as they ran. Cries for revolvers and guns were heard on every side, but such an article was not to be found in the crowd or the neighbor- hood and stones and baicks were made use of freely. The crooks turned at bay near the band stand in the middle of the park and with revolvers levelled seemed determined not to be taken alive. Ser- geant Crawford ran to within a few feet, and, strange to say, although their pistols were levelled at him, they did not fire. He immediately clubbed both of them and they were taken tothe cells. During the excitement the third man escaped and is now being searched for. However, he took no active part in the shooting. members, and alluded to statements of Capt._ Craniell in reference to the town buildmg the works, and gave it as his ex- perience that Wherever the municipality constructed waterworks the cost of such construction invariably was more than 25 per centin favor of a company. He had expected Dr. Bryce down to test the quality of the water, but that gentleman was unavoidably detained- However he would be down at an early day. On motion of Mr. Connolly seconded by Mr. Mallon, the chairman of streets and bridges was instructed to make a crossina 0:1 Néill street south Slde of Melbourne 5 ree . They Shoot a Detective. LONDON, Ont., October 13.-â€"A most sensational shooting afl'ray occurree oppo- site the Catholic cathedral, on Richmond street, about 3 o’clock this afternoon, by which London’s oldest detective, Harry Phair, will probably lose his life. Three hard-looking men arrived from the west this afternoon and were making matters interesting on Richmond street as the detective happened along. He immediate- ly placed them under arrest and called the patrol. When the toughs heard that the patrol had been called a struggle for freedom commenced, and Phair threw one of them on the ground for the purpose of Mr. Calkins also made a few remarks, expressing his thanks to the council for the kindness shown him, and stated that the Lindsay waterworks were second to none 1n the province. On motion of Mr. Kylie, seconded by Mr. Bryans, the ‘system of waterworks con- structed by the Lindsay waterworks company having been tested and proved satisfactory, and the $10,000 stock trans- ferred to the town, that the hydrant rental shall now commence. On motion of Mr. Kylie, seconded by Mr. Head, the council pay to the water works Co. $25 for the hydrant placed at the G.‘T. R. station as part of the water- works aystem. Collection of Wild Flowers. At a recent floral festival of the Linnaean society of Jamaica, Long Island, one table contained seventy-five different varieties of wild plants in flower, which were collected in the immediate vicinity, most of them rooted in pots. It was observed that this collection was the most attractive one in the exhibition, although the display of cul- tivated flowers was very showy. Immediately on regaining his feet the short man pulled a reVOIVer and taking aim, within afew feet of Phair’s heart, tired. Just as the shot was fired a boy in one of the stores rushed out to assist Phair, but turned and bolted when the man with whom Phuir was struggling succeeded in drawing his reVolver and fired at him, the bullet missing its mark, but smashing a couple of panes of glass and flattening out on the door. As the patrol arrived the desperados ran across the street tiring at Constable John Boyd, who dodged behind a telegraph pole. Then commenced an exciting chase. the men separating, one taking a. step on each side of the Bishop’s palace, and shooting at everybody that attempted to approach them. placing the braclets on. He Cvas unable to turn the man’s wrist, however, and called for assistance, which was repeated in the Queen’s name. While this was going on the biggest of the three shox ed the detective off, when he was himself grabbed and throwd down. THREE DESPERADOES MAKE THINGS LIVLLY IN LONDON, ‘ ONT. match We are now looking forward to a change of headquarters, and with the change we trust a. new era in the history of our work will begin. Our responsibility will be increased by the fact that greater oppor- tunity for usefulness opens before us. We will be more directly confronted with the uncared for and unreached class of young men. who so much need the help and restraining power of Christ in their lives. To cope with this task will require wise, patient, and earnest work. Men are needed who will render devoted service in this cause, and the increased expenditure necessary, though comparatively slight. calls for the liberality of those who bear this movement on their hearts or have the means to support it. We pray that God in His wisdom and grace may fit us for larger things in the coming months and years, that we may faithfully do the work He has given us to do. It seems ‘itting to-night that we should look back over the past three years, nearly all of which time has been spent in these rooms. Many dlfliculties have been encountered and many changes in the personnel of the Association have taken place. We are profoundly thankful to God who has given to some hearts that steadfastness of purpose, that faith in Him and the needs of young men which has displayed itself in the moral stamina call- ed for m the administration of affairs during this particularly trying period. 'v~ Your board has met regularly each month withthe exception of July. At these meetings reports were received from the regular and special committees, and all matters of business received careful thought and attention. Three special meeting were held at necessary times for the transaction of business arising between the regular meetings. The av erage atten- dance of directors at these meetings has been six and seven. At the special meet- ing held Nov. 7, 1891, the committees were appointed to serve for the year. The following is a review of their work in order: 1. The devotional committee met four times and appointed the leaders and topics for the afternoon meetings. Pre- paration was made for the meetings which were held during the week of prayer. Owing to the _regular prayer services in the churches and the observance of Thanksgiving Day on Thursday of that week, it was not possible to hold more than three week evening meetings. These were of an interesting and profitable nature, however, and had an average attendance of 15. Early in the fall a bible training class, led by the secretary, was formed which met on Saturday at 4 p.m. Its sessions were regularly main- tained throughout the winter and spring. The course of study pursued consisted of six introductory lessons on the Bible, followed by outlines of the New Testa- ment books taken consecutively. The aim of the class was to train and fit Christian young men to be personal workers, and we are greatfulthat a measure of success was obtained on that line. while the Bible study was exceedingly useful and profitable. Seventeen different young men were in attendance at various times of the year. This fall the class was organized on Sept. 24, and expects to meet regularly for the season. A new course of study has been prepared and is in present use. The Thursday night Bible class has not been so successful in its work. There are a number of reasons for this, the chief being the difiiculty found in getting what we might call the magnetlc nucleus which would give foun- dation for future growth. It is expected that a Bible training class will be organizo ed within a few weeks which will supply the deficiency. The young men’s meeting on Sunday afternoon has kept its place well in the forefront of our work. The addresses as a rule have been instructive and profitable and some of them have been positively inspiring. The meeting has been success- ful in that it has reached YOUNG MEN, not merely the church going class but many of those who are outside of the ordinary ministrations of the gospel. “’6 cannot but desire that more of the latter class should be reached by our work and this means that systematic and untiring effort must be expended in that direc- tion by our membership, in order that the admittedly difficult problem may be Solved. Annual Report ofthe Board ofDirectors of the Lindsay Y.M.C.A. To the Members and Supporters of the Y 01mg Men’s Christian Association. It becomes our privilege and important duty to night to present to you a report of the Work of the association which has been entrusted to our care during the pasc year. As we renew the days and weeks which have past since we were appointed to this charge. we find abundant reason to thank God for His help and care. We can testify to His faithfulness. We regret to find much evidence of indiflerence and unbelief on our part. and for this reason greater blessings have been withheld. We are specially indebted to the Orchestra for the assistance which has been rendered by them in this meeting. While there has has been no undue effort made to render the orchesua a prominent feature, yet we are led to believe that many young men have been very much attracted to the meeting by it, and the singing has certainly been very much better because of the help afi'orded. As an Association we rest under a debt of gratitude to Mr. Humphreys far the patience and perseverance which he has constantly exhibited in the maintenance of the orchestra, and to the individual players who have severally contributed to its success. The weekly practices have been held mostly Monday evening. mum 50 Cents per Year in Advance 3. The executive and finance committee has had in the providing of the necessary funds perhaps the most difficult part of the work. Meetings of the committee have been held from time to time for the arranging of details. Eight members have taken part in the work of obtaining subscriptions. These to the amount of $598.37 have been secured, and a balance of $137.45 is needed to close the year free of debt. This makes a total required expenditure for the year <if§$735.82, while the budget called for $750.00. This is an evidence that economy has been exercised in the use of the funds entrusted to the committee. 2. The membership committee met three times. A number of young men have been solicited for membership and fair success has been met with. Quite a few changes have taken place in the year but it has been gratifying to note that new members have taken theplace of those who have been compelled to remove from us. The roll stands as follows. Active, ordinary 26, sustaining 42, total 68. Associate, ordinary 10, sustaining, 9, total 19. grand total 87. The statistics for the meetings in charge of the devotional committe are as follows: Young men’s meeting. 49 meetings, attendance 1342. average 27. Training class, 25 meetings. attendance 151, aver- age 6. Bible class, 11 meetings, atten- dance 28. average 3. A number of young men have been dealt with personally re garding spiritual matters, efforts have been made in and out of season to 391d young men to decision for Jesus Christ. We cannot report any decxded results in the way of conversions, a fact which We should seriously consider in view of the object of our work. The season for marketing the bulk of the hogs in this country will soon be here, and a few words on the subject, will be of ingeyest to the farming comqugity. I do not purpose saying: anything: regard- ing the breed of hogs, because you have the hogs on hand which you will market this fall and Winter, so 1 leave this part of the subject for a fugure communication. Death of Mr. J. B. Trayes. The death is announced of Mr. J. B. Trayes, which occurred F ridav morning at his home, Port Hope. Mr. Trayes was ill for only a few days with a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs, which, however. resulted in his death. He was an esteemed citizen of our sister town and prominent in local afi'airs. Deceased was a n ativc of Edinburgh, Scotland. where he was born in July, 18- 42, and ten years later came to Montreal with his parents. where at 11 years of age he entered the office of the Montreal Pilot. In 1862 he went to Port Hope, as fore- man of the ofiice of the British Canadian and five years later purchased the paper and changed its name to the Port Hope Times. For many years he published the paper and carried on a general printing business. The progress of journalism in the province owes much to him, as he was ever alert to introduce new methods of work and to encourage others with advice and assistance. He was a prominent member of the Masonic order and had reached a high place in the esteem of the craft. Among: the honcrs so conferred on him in addition to these in connection with local lodges of which he was an active member. he was Past Deputy District: Grand Master; Past Grand Supt. Royal Arch Chapter ; Past Provincial Prior Knight Templar. He published the ‘Masonic organ. “The Craftsman," for i many years and made its. source of know- ledge to the craft generally. The funeral, which takes place Sunday afternoon, 16th. at 3 p.m., will no doubt be attended by members of the local lodges who will 'rrange to be present. As packers we fil‘d the consumers of cured meats are becoming more particular every year, and to meet their requirements we are obliged to study the cuts of meats and methods of cure which they prefer, and if we can manage to satisfy them we obtain better prices_ for our meats, 7 I believe we have as good a quality of hogs inlthis neighborhood as in any country, and if you farmors would study your own interests and feed them properly with grain until they are six or eight months old, and have them the weights mentioned, I have no doubt that the packers will find markets for all the hogs you can raise. To the Farmers : You farmers are in the same position as we are, and if you would obtain the highest price tor your hogs either live or dressed you must have the right kind of hog to sell, as regards age. weight. and quality that: will make the meats the public ask for. or accept a lower price for hogs that will make an inferior quality of meats; You will ask, “what kind of hogs do the packers require from which to out first class meats ?” In answer I would say that at present we want well-fatted hogs from 6 to 8 months old, weighing from 170 to 200 lbs each, alive: or if sold dressed, to weigh 150 to 200 lbs. You will notice that any live and dressed weights do not exactly correspond, but the reason for that is the live hogs are wanted principally for the English market, and those are the weights that sell at the highest prices. The hogs for that trade must be sold alive, as they require different landing, to prepare the meat for that market, from those you sell dressed. Now. the fact I want to impress upon those who raise and fatten hogs for sale is, make hogs good, and do not sell a lot of half fat hogs that are of very little use to the trade and which consequently must be bought at low figures, as the meats prepar- ed from them are so inferior in qualitv that the public will not accept them except at_v.er}f lowest prices.
