The main line was littered with wreckage and otherwise torn up so badly that traffic was stopped practi- cally all night. , s For the first time in the history of the line, a C. P. R. passenger train had to leave the Union Station over the Grand Trunk route. This was No. 6, due to leave Toronto for Montreal at 10 p.m.. It was drawn by G.T.R. en- gine 980. Superintendent Oborne was one of its passengers. Trafic was al- so blocked from the east. Dr. Gray. of Peterboro, was compelled to drive 15 miles through the country to - at- tend the injured men. The Tweed lo- cal, which leaves Toronto at 5 p.m., was stalled at Manvers from 7 .15 p. m. till an early hour this morning. Auxiliaries from West Toronto and Havelock worked all night getting the main line clear ,the two big moguls giving considerable difficulty on ac- count of being turned completely on their sides and piled partly across the tracks. The two trains in the mixup were the second section of 58, one of the company’s fast freights (eastbound), and No 798, running as an extra... was badly injured and Brakesman Irvine, also of the double-header, had his leg broken. - .

After having their dinner at 12 0’- clock, Turnkey Andrus, of the local jail, took the prisoners; three in num- ber, out to their work in the court- yard, where several piles of hard- BROOKS AND MALLORY SWAPPED PANT LEGSâ€"SAW THE WOOD AND SEWED THE TROUSERS. u, vvnsunv uv v vâ€"__ 1'” wood stood ready to be sawed. He, idilowing in the rear, turned to lock the iron gate between the yards, al- lowing the prisoners to walk on. Mal- . lory and Brooks walked at a prettyi fast speed ahead, but no special atten- tion was paid to them on this account; but, to Mr. Andrus’ surprise after rounding the sheds, he noticed that the first two prisoners had escaped. They Saw the Wood. They had climbed the wood piles, and jumped over the fence facing the \ east. . w On looking around for the third prisoner, Mr. Andrews saw him work- ing faithfully away, piling the wood in the sheds, but on being questioned he did not know of the other convicts’ escape.

Both prisoners were in good humor over their little esca- pade. They were bedraggled and cold and hungry and other things when caught and were perhaps pleased to get back to the comfortable hospitality of Castle Jackson. Assistance from Outside Police.

Cable reports last week announced that the big Lipton stores located in the leading cities of Great Britain, had reduced the prices of Canadian cheese to the consumer to 6 l-2d (13c.) This means that Canadian cheese will be retailed over the counter to indiv- idual customers at 13c. of from 3c. to 4c» a lb. cheaper than this same cheese is sold retail in Toronto. In fact, Toronto wholesale dealers in cheese are quoting Canadian cheese to the retailer at the present time at 13c. to 13 l-2c .a lb. for large and 13 l-4c to 13 1.2c. to rtwins. Before the ‘Lipton's stores made the reduction Canadian cheese was selling over the counter in England at 7 l-2d (15¢) a lb This figure is ‘ below what retailers here charge for cheese and shows the smaller margin of profit the middle- man in the Old Land gets as compar- ed with what he gets in Canada. A few issues ago in discussing the home market for cheese we pointed out that the consumer in Great Bri- tain could buy Canadian cheese cheaper than the consumer in Canada could. The above figures bear this out. Is there any good reason why it should be so ? The Canadian middle- ENGLISH euvs oun CHEESE CHEAPER THAN WE CAN HERE wavy-.â€" _ man will tell you that Canadians are not cheese eaters and buy in such small quantities and so infrequently that he cannot afford to sell cheese at the same margin of profit the mid- dleman in the Old Country is content to charge. This may be true. On the other hand it it not equally true that one of the reasons why Canadians do that the price at which it is retailed ‘is too high? If the retailer in Can- ada would sell cheese at the same fi- gure that the retailer in England does, and he should be able to sell it cheaper. there would be an increase m the consumption of cheese here. Why should the Canadian consumer have to go 3.000 miles from home to get the best bargains in Canadian cheese? The anniversary services and a: nual Thank offering in the Methodist church Sunday night came at! most successfully. Rev. Mr. Chapman de- livered powerful and evangelical ser- mons from the texts, “Behold I stand at the door and knock," (morning) and “Wilt thou be made whole ?" (evéning).
