IIII Next. to Daly House IIlfi Watchman-Waller THURSDAY, JAN. 25th, 1900 Foreign Relations- The great powers have maintained a marked neutrality since the war bet- ween Britain and the Boers broke out. According to all accounts popular fee’ing in nearly all of them, is bitter against Britain. Prof. Goldwin Smith who recently returned from an extend°d trip on the continent says that even in Italy the newspapers are hostile to the Empire and that of all the world the American Imperialists alone are her friends. Happily this enmity has found as yet no oficial expression in words or act. The seizure of a German mail steamer by a British warship did cause indignation in the parliament of Ger. many. One member declared amid cheers that “Englishmen should take care not to draw on themselves the hatred of the civilized world” The Minister ofForeign Affairs concluded h’s address by saying: “Germany will maintain her friendly relations with Great Britain, but the government hopes that such incidents will not re our to make it impossible for the gmd relations to continue.” I It is hardly possible to believe that the friendship between England and the United States will soon be dis turbed, and yet the London Times says that the measure, respecting the Nicaraguan canal, which the Senate proposes to adopt will be regarded by Great Br tain as an unfriendly act. In diplomacy that is a serious word. We think, however, that when the United States and Great Britain are through with the Filipinos and Boers each will have had enough war for the ,t resent.

ELLIS, WARDEN The flag again flow at the masthead on Tuesday, signifying that the county legis- lators were busy within. At. 3 o'clock the members all assembled. There was neither clerk nor warden and Mr. Bryans, ex. warden, was voted to the chair. MR. J. A. ELLIS, “'ARDEN. Voting for warden, which by the new regulations must be done openly was then proceeded with. Messrs. John A. Ellie, Geo. Johnson and John Austin were nomin rated and got. 6, 3 and 5 votes reSpectively. The chairman gave his vote for Mr. Ellis and he was accordingly elected. Upon signing the declaration of office he thanked the council and took his seat. Mr. McNeillie was made clerk pro tem- Council adjourned and appointed the standing committees, which in each case comprise the whole membership. The chairmen are : Of Finance, W. C. Switzer; Roads and Bridges, Geo. Johnston; County Property. Jas. Graham; Education, Dr ‘Wood: Printing. John Austin; Appoint: nents to Otlice, Wm. Cameron. The advisory committee is: Messrs. Switzer, Graham, Johnson, Austin, Bryans and Dr. Wood. M R. )ICNEI 1.1.1}: Al’l’OlN'l‘I'Ii I. Mr. Robt. Bryans moved that Mr. J. R. )Ichiliie be appointed clerk and treasurer of the county in the place of the late clerk and treasurer, Mr. Thos. Matchctt. Mr- Brynns said : I desire to express the rearet of this council 3.: the death of Mr. Matchett our late clerk and treasurer. He was a gentleman who was long and ably identi- fied with the otlice. He had endeared him- self to the people of this county and especially to their representatives in this chamber. Ila: has gone, and I beg to present to council this motion believing that it will be err-*lorsed by every member. I. in my capacity as warden, appointed Mr. IIIcNeillie clerk and treasurer pro tem at Mr. Matchett‘s death, and so eminently satisfactory have his services been in con“ nection with these offices as assistant for many years, that I feel no hesitation in moving that he be permanently appointed to fill them. The motion carried unanimously and council went into committee of the whole as the committee on Appointments to Office and reported favorably. The third reading and then the by-law with its read- ings followed and Mr. McNeillie was clerk and treasurer at $1500 per year. He thank- ed the council and for a. few minutes spoke in a conversational way of his career up to the present and added that the appoint: ment just made had fulfilled the ambition of his life. Nothing could gratify him more than to halibut after 25 years in their employ the ple of Victoria county think him worthy to be entrusted with their finances. Elsewhere we give a brief outline of Mr. McNeillie’s life. IN MEMORIAM. It was moved by Dr. Wood, and carried, that Messrs.

He had been in falling health for some years, but- during the past three months his trouble assumed a. critical form and he suffered intesely almost to the hour of his death. Mr. Edney spent many years in the British army and served in South America. the West Indies, India. and took art in the funniest engagement in the Crimean war. For twenty years he had lived in this town. He wasjsnitor of the Ontario bank building and the Cambridge- st. Methodist church. A wife and two daughters survive him. The funeral took place yesterday to Riverside. MARY A. TODD The deceased lady was a daughter of J as. Gardiner of Gavan township. In 1840 she married Mr. Henry Todd, and they together started life in the woods on a farm in Cartwright, and endured all the vicissitudes of those early days. The hard- ships, lightly borne then, were an unfailing source of wonder and surprise to her grandchildren when related in these later days. She raised a family of five sons and three daughters, all but one of whom survive. The sorrowing children are: Wm. Todd of Oro township, Snmueland Hamilton Gardiner of Tiny township, Isaac N., agent of the Southern Pacific railway, Pasadenna California; Mrs. W. H. Tompkins of Ilenelon, Mrs. H. J. Lytle of Lindsai‘ and Mrs. D. Gould of Fcnelon Falls. or half of her life she was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and passed away in the calm assurance that all was well. Rev. Mr. Snowdon of Cambray conducted the fun- eral service at the residence of Mr. W. H. Tompkins, her sonoin-law, after which the pony was conveyed to the Riverside cemetery, Lindsay. for interment. MISS MARY DORGAN It is with feelings of deep regret that. will be shared by the whole community. that we chronicle the death of Miss Mary Dorgan, which sad or out occured at the residence of her mother, lot 15, con. 13, township of Emily, on Saturday, January 13th lush, at the early age of 25 years. The young lady had been residing in Toronto for the past few months and hav- ing contracted a. cold she decided to come home about a month ago to see if a short stay in the country would prove beneficial, but instead she immediately became worse and in spite of all earthly old she passed peacefully away. Death, sad at all times, is doubly more so when it strikes at the young and beautiful. The deceased had the faculty of endearing herself to all with whom she associated, and of her many a kindly word was spoken and tears shed by her many friends in this section. During the last few days of her illness her conversation centered chiefly on that. happy transition which was about. to take place and many was the heartfelt prayer which issued from her lips that the angel of death might. convey her safely to the throne of mercy, there to be judged by the God who gave her, being fortified by the last rites of the Roman Catholic church of which she was always a devoted member. \Ve hope and trust that ere she was cold in death that the great. judge of all pronounced on her that beautiful sen- tence “Come ye blCSStt(_l of my Fether possess the kingdom prepared for you." The funeral on Monday to the Downey- ville cemetery was very larzely attended. The last service was conducted by the lev. Father Seanlon. A feeling of pro- found sorrow and regret is felt by the many friends of the deceased young lady and the sympathies of the entire com- munity are mother and four sisters in their hour of allliction.

NEW ooum v OFFICIALS BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 0? THE NEW WARDEN AND THE CLERK AND TREASURER __â€"â€" JOHN A. ELLIS Mr. John A. Ellis, who was elected 9 warden of the county of Victoria. on Tues- ' day. was born in Verulnm in 1844. Early in life he engaged in farming in the town- ' ship of his birth. Later he engaged in the wood and steamboat. business. This ' was in the early days of the Vanderbilt. of ' which Mr. Ellis was captain in 1877. For several years he conducted a. general store ' at Fenelon Falls and afterwords devoted himself wholly to lumbering. H18 fine ' mills in that village are among the best In ' the county and their large capacity and. output bear witness to the prosperous ' condition of that industry in Mr. Ellis‘ hands. For six years he was reeve of the ' Falls. In 1898 he was among the repres- entatives of the county under the new ' system of representation by divisions and ' has had a seat there ever since. He is o shrewd business man, a faithful council- ' lor and his elevation to the warden's chair was a. merited honor which his colleagues ' were highly pleased to confer upon him. ' JAMES R. M‘NEILLIE The newly appointed clerk and treasurer is a. Scotchman, and was born in Johnston parish, Dumfrlesshire, in 1846. In 1853 he came to Canada with his parents and spent some eight. years in Clark township, \\~ where he attended school and received some experience in a general store and post office. In 1861 he left home to enter the drug store of the late Thos. Mntchett in Omemee. While there he obtained a knowledge of municipal matters. After eleven years Mr. McNeillie entered the office of the Montreal Telegraph Co. in Toronto. In 1875 he became assistant clerk and treasurer of this county and held that. pOsition up to the present. For eiahteen years he has been the county's representative on the Board of Education of this town and its chairman for a need dealof that. time. During the illness of Mr. Matchett the heavy duties of his oflice fell altogethcr upon Mr. McNeillie and so much did the. capable manner in which he discharged them, toacther with his record of a quarter of acentury, im- press the council that it. was with the greatest unanimity they appointed him to the ollice made vacant by Mr. Match- r-tt's death. ‘ Mr. McNeillie is a man of special fitness ' »r his position, possessing, as he does. rge financial and executive ability and usual skill and precision in matter of -'nil.
