The most important committee of the County Council in the session that closed Saturday was the Fin~ ance Committee, and the most im- portant act of the committee was its decision to guarantee the $75, 000 0! debentures to be issued by the' village of Fenelon Falls, for the purpose 0! financing the municipal power scheme which that village has undertaken.‘ UpOn objection next day from the Lindsay council the decision to en- dorse was not sustained at the third reading, and the matter was laid. over till the November session. The new legislation requiring the county to erect a House of Refuge before January 1906, was brought to the. attention of the committee by a deputation of Home for the Aged ofâ€" ficials. This deputation asked that the work of erecting a Refuge be not delayed to the time indicated by the statute. At the request of the School Board of Lindsay the statute requir- idg the town to pay its share of the cost of maintaining county pupils at the Collegiate Jnstitute was over-rid- den from sentimental considerations. “ THE FENELON FALLS BONDS Some time ago the enterprising village of Fenelon Falls awoke to the advantages that might be derived from controlling part of the water power by which it is made famous. That on the north side of the river was owned by McDougall Brandon and operated that firm’s mill and electric light station. At a cost of $75,000 the village bought the entire property and secured Special legisla- tion for the right to do so. That the village debentures might sell to better advantage, the endorsaâ€" tion of the county was sought by a large deputation headed by Dr. In Committee Council Decided to Endorse but Lindsay’s 0b- iectionPrevailed atglhe Third Reading The'fliflageIAsks that itsiflopds for. $75,000 be_ Guaranteed bygthe County LAID OVER TILL NOVEMBER WILL THE mum COUNCIL BNDORSE FOR FENELON FALLS LINDSAY, THURSDAY. JUNE 1811!. I903. Councillor Grahamâ€"Those who rent the mill may fail to make it a success, just as a farm tenant might; where would your 10-year lease and $1000 a year rental be ? " Solicitor McDiarmidâ€"The prospec- tive tenants have made a success of it for 18 yearS. . a county. The county endorsation .would mable the village to get an advantage in the interest rate that would mean about $300 a year. Dr. Gould declared that the project was not regarded by Fenelon Falls as a. speculative venture. It was was expected to yield a surplus tom the outset. The village had been compelled to take the mill with the pOWer, for the owners would rebate only $10,000 if it ,were not taken] and since it yielded $1,000 a year it i was thought good business to take it with the rest at the property. The mill cost $6,000. Its equipment was worth $10,000. The electric plant entire was worth $6,000, so the vil- lage had bought $22,000 worth of developed property. The total elec- tric energy to be developed at that part of the Falls, Dr. Gould said was estimated at 600 hp. It was expectd that there would be 350 horse power for sale in excess of what it wouldtake to run the plants owned by the village. The revenue from that and the $1000 or $1500 rental from the mill would make the whole scheme a paying one. Already the village had a standing ofler of $100 rent for the mill for 10 years. feet ? Dr. Gouldâ€"About i per cent. in the rate of interest or $300. Councillor Grahamâ€"Will'the villagd tax its own property ? Dr. Gouldâ€"It. will still tax the mill, if it is rented, at'thc former assessment of $9000. Councillor Grahamâ€"Are Qcm any similar industries to be effected, and how are they disposed toward the scheme ?

Moreover, the assessors were often given verbal in- structions to lightly assess good conâ€" qems. Then we used to pay 2; cents on .the dollar, taxes; after, the as scssment was raised to $300,000 and , _ -_mcmon, u» w-â€"â€"'_ we paid 15 mills. The assessment could well be put up another $100,- 000. The village is not going back: it is not built. that way.

There is nothing in it as a precedent, and no risk to the county Councillor Dr. Woodâ€"I do not see ‘any strong objection to doing as thc‘ village asks. I believe in municipal ownership.

I think Mr. Fair- bairn mentioned that figure just be- cause it came easy. Mr. Scully has endorsed, and is sorry for it ; I don’t want to be sorry. Giving to the back townships is a charity; this is not charity, nor is it a good busi- ness proposition. Delégaée McFarlaneâ€"When Fcnelon Falls needs charity you can give it charity. Councillor Grahamâ€"We don't want a rope around our necks. Our ans- wer should be an that of the Toron- to capitalists. when Lindsay wanted to float a Fenelon power scheme: "Get us a guarantee that you have the power" said they. The expert was sent and said the power was not: there. “Yes, and how much was he paid to make that report ?" interjected Solicitor McDiarmid snapping his fingers, “You know it, now tell us.” "I do not know" replied Mr. Gra- ham. "It. is said you did know" replied Mr. McDiu-mid. "I have said I do not know" ,re- plied Mr. Graham, "and you must take back that statement or accept my word. " “Ohvof course, I will take it back" responde Solicitor McDiarmid, and a sharp little tilt on an historic matter was ended. A 7 _ .

Councillor Shaver said Mariposa would assume about a quarter of the county's risk, but he would support granting the request of the village. Councillor Channon had had a little experience with endorsing notes; and had had to pay them. Just as rosy a proposition had not long ago been presented to him “and" said the wary legislator “they pretty near had me. If they had got me into that pork-packing scheme at Stouffville I should have been out."

Naumowitch, Col. Mischits, and Ma- jor Lazarovitch, the latter an open enemy of the king, rushed into the room with drawn revolvers. The king, in his night dress, stood in the middle of the room, pale and excit- ed. In his hands he held :1 revolv- er. He demanded furiou>ly the reason of the intrusion. CoL Nau- movitch held towards him a pa;'-er, saying :“Wc demand your majesty's signature to this paper.

DEFENDER SLAIN At this moment 00,. Maschin. the queen's brother-in-law, rushed into the room, fresh from his encounter with Capt. Lunyevitza, who had of- fered a most heroic resistance in an- other part of the palace. Capt. Lunyevitza was wounded in a dozen places with bayonet thrusts and bul- lets. He had torn past the king's enemies sword in hand fighting his way to the door, where, coming faCo to face with C01. Maschin. he was shot dead by that determined con- spirator. At the sight of Col. Masâ€" chin, inflamed with passion. and with. the lust for blood in his eye. the king turned to the queen and bade her flee for her life. ' THE REGIC IDE They both ran from the room. fol- lowed by the officers. Behind the latte! came a stream of shouting soldiers. The king and queen ran through the sleeping apartments, slamming the doors behind them. They were followed by shots from the soldiers. They reached the roof of the palace in safety, but here were overtaken. The king stood in front of his consort and faced the enemy unflinchingly. He bore himself with royal courage, fearlessly to the last. The final scene was over in a moment Major Lazarovitch stepped up to his jmajesty and discharged his revolver ‘full in his face. The king fell. but raised himself again as if to speak. A second shot. was fired, and Alexâ€" ander fell back dead. The queesn was fatally shot by a soldier. Another man stabbed her in the neck with a bayonet. as she fell over her husband’s body. The moon shone dimly upon the scene of the ghastly tragedy.
