Car- roll, Boston,” and claiming to be a rep- resentative of a liquor house in Buffalo, has succeeded in playing a smart game on a number of hotelkeepers in various Can- adian cities. His latest exploit was at 1 Stratford. He registered at the Albion Hotel, and after ordering from a cooper 18 five-gallon kegs he called on the hotels with samples of various Wines. As the ' " prices were advantageous and the samples p i ' '8 good he received large orders. The follow- to quanUtl [A Z 5 ing morning he got six of the kegs, and \Im’O " Mfl o with the assistance of a pump proceeded . ‘7 to manufacture the wine, the component . parts of which have since been found to consist of some coloring and flavoring Y I. E Y matter and a good quantity of water. R ’ Carroll then pasted on the head of each keg an express company label. He succeeded in realizing on several orders before the fraud was exposed. He fled before he could be arrested. ONE DOOR EAST BENSON HOUSE. n. I IS I G Rev. D. L.

Our prayer-meeting on the 16th. inst. was one of the largest we have ever had. Let us work for its increase in numbers and power. “This has been a blessed meeting,” said a friend to me as he passed out. Many I believe have found it so. Whatever else you miss do not miss the Wednesday night service. On Thursday evening the members of the VV.F.M.S. and Mission Band aSSUll’lb' led in large numbers in the lecture room that had been decorated for the occasion. l‘he spirit of the meeting was good, and the offering was in harmony with the spirit. Sixtyâ€"three dollars as a thank- oflering is something to thank God for, especially when we remember that this is the thanksgiving collection called for within a few days. The society under the presidency of Mrs. McLennan with her many helpers has grown rapidly. Can we not secure one hundred members by the end of January? Now a word to the young men. I am very anxious that our young men’s Bible class, which meets on Sabbath afternoon at 3 o’clock, should flourish this winter as never before. The first thing needed is prayer for the class. Will those who are members already as well as those who are interested in its work make the work of the class a special object of prayer ? The next thing needed is personal efl'ort. Can you not come yourself and bring some- one with you 2 Perhaps you are no longer a young man, but a benedict with the cares of a family on your shoulders; well, come and bring the young fellows who board next door or who work in the shop with you. We will not turn you out because your are past thirty. Come and get help and give help. Tell me how and where you spend your Sabbath after- noons and I will tell you pretty accurately what your life is and whither it is tending. Young men, put yourselves in the way of getting good; come with us, we may be able to lend a hand that will help you to heaven. A Sabbath afternoon carelessly spent will do about as much to help you on the way to eternal death as an evening in the billiard~room. Do not give the devil a chance in either way. I hope to speak next Sabbath morning to thcse who do not like to be converted in a revival. I have some sympathy with them, though not mucht the matter of the soul’s salvation is so all-important that we should be willing to be helped toward that end in any way. However, if you object to conversions in a. time of special interest do not fail to be with us next Sabbath. In the evening it is my inten- tion to continue the story of Ruth’s choice, Young Christians will find this I trust specially helpful. Here is a word in closing for some doubting soul who still is tormented by his feelings, and the evidence of his own heart. If you have come humbly, honest- ly as a lost sinner to Christ to be saved, then belieVO His word that “Him that cometh unto Me, I will in no wise cast out” and if your heart tells you you are not yet saved “Call your heart a liar, and believe the record of the only living and true God.” Your friend and pastor, Roar. JOHNSTON. St. Andrew’s Manse, Lindsay. m Fenelon Falls. On Sunday evening, the 13th inst., while Mr. Wm. Waflie of this village Was driving his cow into the stable she took a notion to run down the hill toward the road, and Mr. Waffle at once gave chase, but was checked in his “downward career” by a clothes line which was stretched across the yard. The line caught him under the chin, and, ofing to the speed at which he was running, threw him about 15 ft. away on his back, where he lay for some time unable to rise. He was well enough to be down town on Monday, but was very stiff and sore, and his neck, from one ear to the other and over an inch wide, was skinned and presented the appearance of a large burn. We congra- tulate Mr. Waflle on his escaping so well, as a case is on record a few years ago where a man had his neck broken in just the same manner. A few days ago threshers were at work at Mr. John Cook’s in the township of Verulam; and, when the last of the barley that had been piled in one of the bays of the barn was removed, a duck was found, not only alive, but fat and hearty. The belief is that it had been there about three months. as there appeared to be no way by which it could have got in after the bay was filled. As the bird was against the outer wall of the barn, which was not battened, there was no lack of light or air, and by crushing up the heads of barley it could get plenty to eat; but how it lived so long without water is a mystery. Some think that the barley straw must have been damp when it was stowed away, and that the duck, by sucking or chewing it, managed to extract enough Imoisture to prevent her from sufl'ering very badly from thirstâ€"Gazette.

Can of Powderâ€"One is Killed And Anotherfll‘ill Dieâ€"Tho Doors And “'in- down of the Building Smashed. MARLBANK, Ont., Nov. 23.â€"â€"At 12.33 o’clock yesterday an explosion occurred in a store owned by A. N. Nallan. While three children were playing in the hall between the store and dwelling house they accidentally got hold of a can of pow- der, and in some way it was ignited,terribly disfiguring all three of them and burning them in a terrible way. The doors and windows of the entire building were blown a distance of 100 feet from the main building. Medical aid was at once summoned, and in a short time three doctors were on the scene, but in spite of all efforts one of the victims has died. The other two are in a critical condition. One of them will die to-night. People who were trading in the store at the time were blown through the windows, but escaped with slight injuries. A correct account of damage done has not yet been received. The force of the shock was felt a mile away and people who saw the children say it is a sight never to be forgotten. LUSTY LUNGS. Savel a Hamilton Maiden From Being Kidnapped By a Ruffian. HAMILTON, N 0v. ‘23.â€"-Eliza.bet.h Gadden, a young woman who resides at No. 26 Tif- fany-street, had a very unpleasant experi- ence last night, and but for her lusty pair of lungs might have fared badly. About 8. 45 o’clock she was in the some- what lonely locality corner of Barton and Tiflany-streets, when she found herself suddenly overpowered, picked up in the arms of a powerful man and carried away. She struggled, but could do nothing; then she screamed, but the man tried to shut her up, and as he got her OR the street and in rear of some houses she naturally became more alarmed, struggling the harder and shouting the louder. The man got her in rear of Mr. Larkin’s residence, No. 39 Tifl‘any-street, about 150 yards from where he had picked her up, and then footsteps were heard, and recog- nizing that his plans had failed the man dropped his burden and ran. Miss Gadden was almost overcome when assistance came. The man was followed a short distance, but had no dificulty in making his escape. Miss Gadden has no idea who he is. A SHAFT END. Seriously Injures a Dundas Young Wo~ man While in Hamilton. HAMILTON, Nov. 23.â€"â€"A short runaway, with a sudden and serious terinination,took place in James-street about 3.15 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The delivery wagon horse belonging to E. T. Wright Co. got frightened and dashed off. Mrs. Laydon of Dundas and her daughter happened to be crossing J ames-street at the time and could not get out of the road of the horse. The point of one of the shafts struck Miss Layden on the right thigh, netrating her clothes and entering the fish, inflicting a severe wound, the flesh being terribly torn and lacerated. To-dcy Miss Layden is very sick. There are no dangerous symptoms, but the doctor is not yet able to say how the case may turn. SMALLPOX IN TORONTO- Anothor Case of tho Dhonso Develop. in n Young Englishman. TORONTO, Nov. 23.â€"-Anotbor case of smallpox has developed in the city, and just when the four or five patients in tho Isola- tion Hospital had been declared well enough to again mingle with society. The patient is an Englishman named George Sumner, aged 26 yours. The case was contracted outside the city. Sumner arrived in the city two wcoks ago Monday. He was a. passenger on the Beaver Line steamer Ontario, on board of which there was a suspected case of the disease. The boat was detained one day in quaran- tine. When he arrived in Toronto he took boo rd with Mr. Theodore Thwaitcs, paperhsngor, of No. 108 Northcote-avenue. Sunday he was taken ill and yesterday the disease was declared to be smallpox. There is no doubt about it, the patient being covered from head to foot with the pimples that charac- terize the disease. The Medical Health Department was noti- fied and the inmates were immediately quar- antined, a guard being placed outside to pre- vent either ingress or egress. The family consists of Mr. Thwaites, his wife and six children. Mr. Thwaites is awav from home, and will be compelled to stay stunt least until the period of incubation is passed. All the family will be vaccinated this morning. Sumner. who is single and without rela- tives in the city, will be removed to the Iso- lation Hospital this morning. Prohibition in Kansas. TOPEKA, Kn, Nov. 23.â€"Tbc oficial count as made by the Secretary of State shows that. the proposition to hold a. con- stitutional convention was defeated at the recent election by a majority of 1284. The result is a great disappointment to those Anti-Prohibitionists who hoped to secure the repeal of the prohibition laws. One important result of the recent elec- tion will be the extension of woman suffrage. The platform of both the Repub- lican and People’s Party pledged the ex- tension ot woman suffrage to all state offi- cials, and there is no doubt that it will be accomplished at the coming session of the legislature.

PUGET SOUND VISITED WITH STORMS AND WRECKS- A Seething Lake With Logs, Shingles, Buildings, Ties, Trees and Debt“ Jammed Ten to Twenty Feet Highâ€"- Demoralization of Railroad Traffic. SEATTLE, Nov. 23.â€"Reports of a storm throughout the western portion of the state are worse yesterday, and prospects of rail communication being restored are abandoned for several days. Five deaths are reported as the result of the floods, while the loss of property in the shape of farm buildings carried away and wrecked will amount to thousands of dollars. In the Stuck Valley, as far as the eye can see, the valley is a seething lake, with logs, shingles, wrecked buildings, railroad ties, uprooted trees and debris jammed together 10 to 20 feet deep. The Great Northern will not be able to run trains until the bridges are repaired and the slides re- moved and track rebuilt. The Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern runs trains to the international boundary, but a transfer is made around the slide at Blackman. Three or four small steamers are re- ported sunk in the Snohomish Rlver, but no lives lost; The large steamer is carrying passengers to Whatcom to take the rail connection to the east. The Canadian Pacific has almost entirely escaped any damage or delay. Frame houses of all descriptions have been seen floating in nearly every form and size west of the mountains. RAIN IN TORRENTS. Railroads on the Puget Sound Have a Grievance Against Nature. PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 23,â€"Rain has fallen in torrents yesterday in Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade Mountains, and the local train traffic on Puget Sound north of Tacoma is entirely suspended. The damage already done in the Puget Sound country will probably reach a half- million dollars, and the prospect now is that much renter damage will result. The Nort em Pacific repaired the damage to the main line and the trains for the cast are now running regularly. The land slide on the Union Pacific at the Cascade continues to come down with increased energy. A heavy rain fell there today, which washed tons of earth down the mountain side. Construction work on the track around the slide began yesterday and it will probably be completed by to- morrow night. The company is still transferring passengers and mails around the obstruction by boat. FOUR PEOPLE DROWNED. Great Deluge of Rain at Seattle and Ta- coma. Sum, Wash, Nov. 23. â€"-Tbcro is little if any improvement in the flood situa- tion in the Puget Sound Basin and tho steady downpour of rain, with a falling barometer, given but little hope of tho abatement of the deluge for at least a day more. ’lhcro is still an almost complete blockade of railroad communication. Tho damage done to railroads and farms thus far aggro: tcs $300,000. On ri ay last a party consisting of Prof. Ganiar, his wife and son, aged 19, and Miss Thompson, aged 22, all musicians, started from Everett for Marysvillc. They went in a yacht with Henry Leary, a sailor. Sunday morning the steamer Mabel picked up s cc sized boat, and a red organ after- wards rifted ashore. Nothing has been - seen of any of the party since. TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 22â€"Rain is still falling heavily. The first train to go out for four days left Tacoma last night for St. Paul, and tho Overland passenger train ar- rivod this morning from Ellensburg. Not a train has passed between Tacoma and Scuttle since the flood began. The Floods in Cork. LONDON, Nov. 23. â€"Tho floods in County Cork, caused by the prolonged heavy rains, have not yet abated. It is reported that several persons have been drowned. Traffic on the Cork-Mul- kcrry Railroad has been suspended. Many roads are still submerged. A BARREL OF CHEROOTS Labeled “Baldwins” Sharponcd tho Nou- ot Customs omocrs. CHARLESTON, S. 0., Nov. 23.â€"The most expensive barrel of apples Charleston has ever seen passed through the Customs House yesterday. They were labeled “Baldwins,” and came in on the schooner Nellie Coleman, from Baracoa. The Custom House authorities were sul- picious of Baldwin apples from Baraooo, and opened the barrel. It contained cheroots. The barrel and contents were confiscated. The vessel was fined $300 and the captain and mate arrested and jailed. Used Sculls For Footballs. NEW YORK, Nov. 23.â€"Rains have hid bare the interior of Cole’s burial vault at Kingsbridge and exposed a ghastly array of skeletons. The Cole family, once wealthy and aristocratic, has long since disappeared. Boys in the neighborhood were caught to- day using the skulls for footballs. Allen Harrison Hanged. HUNTINGTON, W.
