The Trade Bulletin’s statements, to the effect that there is much less cheese in Canada than there was a. year ago, is beginning to find general credence both here and in the West, and appearances now favor the impression that middlemen into whose hands the cheese has passed will make money on their fall make as well as the farmers. In this city stocks have shown a material decrease recently, although, as a rule, they accumulate fast at. this season of the year, and this is looked upon as a very unusual feature. which goes to confirm our former asser- tions regarding the much lighter supplies in Canada at this season, than in former years, notwithstanding the past season’s large make. The great secret, which accounts for the remarkable manner in which England has taken our cheese throughout the whole season, lies in the fact that owing to its extra fine quality a much greater demand has been created for it, and consequently all fine goods have gone readily into consumption, and it looks as if Canada’s excellent fall make will all be required, and, unless we are greatly mistaken, at prices which will show a fair remuneration to holders. It is pretty well understood that a large por- tion of the goods now held on this Side is for account of English houses which will order them as needed. Of course it would be simply wonderful if the season passed off without a speculative develop- ment of some kind, and at present it comprises some pretty extensive sales of September cheese at 505 6d to 515 c. i. f. London, one firm, it is said, having Sold about 30,000 boxes at those prices for Janurary delivery. It is only natural that this firm should endeavor to convey the impression that stocks here are very much larger than they actually are, in order to depress the market, buy in at lower figures and supply the goods at a profit. The firm referred to may obtain its object. but at the moment things appear to be shaping in the opposite di- rection. and it looks as if 31c for finest September will be touched before 100.â€" Montreal Trade Bulletin. Murder of a Supposed Witch. LONDON, Nov. 7.â€"The Moscow cor- respondent of the Daily News describes the murder of a destitute widow living in the village of Suamenskoe, who was alleged to be a witch. and the trial of 11 of the villagers on the charge of being concerned in the murder. The woman was first attacked by a mob led by the village elder and a scribe. She was shamefully maltreated and left for dead, but regained consciousness. Then another mob dragged her about and finally beat her to death. All the prisoners stoutly maintain their right to kill a witch. The prisoners were found guilty and some of them were sentenced to imprisonment and others to lose their civil rights. SOUTH OPS. Special to the WATCHMAN’.

Death of Mr. N. G. Bigelow, Mr. N. G. Bigelow, Q.C., M.L.A. for Toronto, died Friday morning at 10 min- utes to 3 o’clock. Until an hour or two before that his medical advisers had not given up hope, though at a consultation held during the afternoon it was decided that, his condition did not warrant the performance of an operation which the nature of the disease required. Two weeks ago Mr. Bigelow took an active part in the opening ceremonies of Victoria College, of which he was a gradu- ate and a member of the Board of Regents. Three weeks since he presided at a reunion of the members of St. Andrew’s Lodge, No. 16, A.F. A.M., of which he was an old past master. He accompanied the Toronto party to the dedicatory services of the World’s Fair. Mr. Bigelow had been suffering for a lengthened period from gallstones, a concretion formed in the gall bladder. The character of the disease from which Mr. Bigelow was suffering was correctly diagnosed by Dr. Burns, his physician. two years ago. He had recurring attacks from time to time, but they were always met and subdued by timely treatment. The last attack began Oct. 26, and no doubt was the result of a heavy cold con- tracted the night before at the Victoria University Alumni dinner. The attack at first was mild and to all appearances had passed off when a slight chill brought it back with more severity than ever. Dr. Burns had every reason to hope that he could stave off the attack till the reaction came. Then Drs. W. H. B. Aikens and but the patient gradually sank till he died at 2.50 a.m. Friday. He had been delir- ious since Tuesday. The post-mortem examination revealed the fact that Dr. Burns’ diagnosis was cor- rect, for a number of gall-stones were found and the results of obstruction were apparent in the tissues. there being con- siderable ulceration of long standing. It was only on April 29 last that Mr. Bigelow was elected to fill the vacancy in the Legislature caused by the death of Mr. H. E. Clake, whose death was also so sudden and unexpected. The new member did not have the opporiunity of taking the seat. Before Mr. Bigelow breathed his last his brother Obediah of Lindsay and his nephew, Fred, now attending the Univer- sity, ReV. Dr. Briggs, and Rev. James Henderson were at the bedside. SKETCH OF DECEASED. Mr. Bigelow was born on April 22. 1840, in the County of Simcoe, Ont., his father being Hiram Bigelow, a wealthy mill owner. He married Minerva Edna Calvin, daughter of the late D.D. Calvin, M.L.A., of Garden Island, Ont. He was educated in the public schools in Lindsay, and in 1858 entered the preparatory de- partment of Victoria University at Cobourg, where he graduated with honors in 1864. He then entered the law office of the late Judge Mackenzie, and was admitted to the practice of law in 1867. In 1866 the degree of M. A. was conferred upon him, and in 1867 he received the degree of L. L. B. In 1888 he was created a Q.C. by patent from the Governor-General of Canada. He was an adherent of the Methodist Church. He was a most successful pleader, especially in the criminal courts, and he was, besides, most popular with both bench and bar. Mr. Bigelow had at the time of his death seven brothers and sisters. They were Mrs. Davidson of Glandine, Ont., Mrs. Nott of Burlington, Vt., Joel Bigelow of ChicagoMJoseph Bigelow of Port Perry, Ont_, Silas and Obediah of Lindsay, Timothy of Brooklyn, N.Y., Palmer, Los Angeles, Cal., John Fisk, San Francisco, Cal. The deceased was a member of St. An- drew’s Lodge, A.F. and A.M., P.G.J. of the Grand Chapter, P.E.C. Geofl'rey de St. Aldemar and a member of the A. and A. Rite.

Mr, Bigelow leaves a widow and two children, a son and a daughter, the fcrmer being a student at Upper Canada College. The funeral was conducted under the In consequence of an earnestly express- ed desire the friends generally of Mr. Bigelow and the public were notified that from 9 to 2 o’clock on Monday those who wished to pay a tribute of respect to the deceased would be welcome to call at his residence, E23 Grenville-street. An im- mense number took advantage of the privilege. Crushed to Death. DUNDAS, Nov. 5.â€"Mr. William Clark’s felt factory, West Flamboro’, about three and a half miles from here, was to-day the scene of one of the most distressing acci- dents possible to imagine, whereby a young lady lost her life. It appears the mill has been running overtime every day of the week, except Saturday, when it closes down at 3 p.m. To-day, about 2.45 p.m., as Miss Maloney, one of the em- ployes, had finished her work and was going down stairs to the washroom she had to pass a shaft which was revolving at a very high rate of speed. Her clothing got caught by the shaft, and in an intant the unfortunate girl was wound round the shaft and crushed to death. Miss Maloney was the sole support of her widowed mother, who has the heartfelt sympathy of the community. The first-class British battle ship Royal The 4th Nov. was the birthday of Wm. Oak was launched on saturday at Birken- head. She will cost £750,000. SMASHED INTO FRAGMENTS. Nickel-Steel Undergoes a Trying Test. . The men who are financially interested in the rich nickel mines of this province are wearing a broad Conspicuous smile these days. They have. had a hard time of it with the Ontario government. Instead of encouraging the mining industry, the policy. of the Government has been one of opposition, taxation and discouragement. Sir Oliver and his band of tax gatherers havelaid blighting hands on every attempt to develop the mineral wealth Lf the pro- vince, and a grim spectre, built upon the same lines as the portly form of Arthur Sturgis Hardy, stanls at the pit’s mouth demanding fat royalties in the name of honest government E And yet the nickel men are smiling to-day ? And why ? Because of the very significant cablegram which appeared in The Empire on Thursday morning. It. read as follows : LONDON, Nov. 2.â€"Thc Government trial of an American Harveyized plate took place on board the Admiralty's proving hulk Lottie yesterday 1:. Portsmouth harbor. The plate, which was aflixed to the stern of the vessel, was 8 feet high by 6 feet Wide, and was 10.5 inches thick. It was attacked by a 6-inch breech-loading rifle, firing three HoltZei‘ and two Palliser armor piercmg projectiles weighing 100 pounds .each, with the usual velocity adopted in all the admiralty testsâ€"namely, 2,020 feet per second. All the projectiles were completely distroyed, being broken into small fragments. Not a single crack was developed in the plate. The trial is consxdered by experts to be the most important that has ever taken place in England and may result in the adoption of the American process of making armor for British ironclads. Not a very lengthy or pretentious article, to be sure, and yet one of the greatest importance. The American Harveyized plate spoken of is nothing more or less than that much-talked-of alloy, nickel-steel. The superiority of this alloy was demonstrated by the United States Government after a series of tests and in 1890 the Secretary of the Navy PURCHASED 4,536 cross of nickel matte to be used in armor plates for the American war ships. All the matte came from the Sudbury district, where the supply is almost exhaustless. The attention of the British naval authori- ties was, of course, attracted to this matter. Experiments were made, and in the information given to the Imperial Parliament it was stated that nickel steel plate was superior to ordinary steel when used in thicknesses of three or four inches but that for greater thickness the results did not place the plate in so good a relative position. This was in 1890. According to the despatch quoted above, however, the plate used in the test was 105 inches thick, and the most powerful piercmg projectiles were resisted and broken into small fragments. The result of the test was so satisfactory that large orders will, in all probability, be placed for nickel steel armour for the many ships of the British navy, not to speak of the names of the other great powers. The nickel steel plate is fully one-third lighter than the ordinary steel, and this, coupled With its powers of resistance, makes it altogether the best armor known. NEWS ITEMS.
