Bowmanville, April b.â€"-\Dp601a1.} --A very sad sight was witnessed on Monday it being afuneral procession; headed by a hearse containing two bodies. father and son. On Friday last, Mr. J. Sylvester, who resided on a farm near Enniskillen, died at- lying ill with an at- tack of inflammation of the lungs, and he also died on Sunday morning. Both were interred here yesterday afternoon.

C., to vindicate hls‘ ( character against some made by The Toronto Globe in which t he was designated a liar and a sland- e-rer. The Mail and Empire says : “He describes the Globe as a hypocrite mo felt called upon to Speak in self- defence. Mr. McInnes reiterated-his charge against the Globe that it had pursued a policy of cant and decepâ€" tion regarding the Crow’s Nest Rail» way. He asserted that corrupt motives, namely, the desire to secure to certain Globe directors a of that journal. He showed that the great interest taken by the Globe in the Crow’s Nest Pass question was contemporaneous with efforts by Globe directors’ no dispose of the B. C Southern Charter to the C. P. R. That the maintenance of a great monopoly, and the creation of a great railway monopoly should be advocated by a neWSpaper professedly opposed to monopolies was cited by Mr. McInnes as a justification of the, Opinion he entertained.” The Globe‘ says: “Mr. McInnes returned to his pastime of heaving stones at the Globe. He rose to a question of personal explanation,'to refer to the Globe’s statements that his assertion regarding the relation between the C. P. R. and the Globe were the as- sertions of a liar and a slauderer. Zulr. McInnes resented the use of these words, but justified their use THE CHRONICLE. on circumsmntial evidence. which has hung many a man. He declaredl that The Giobe was a political wea- thercock. and that it had acted like a nickel-in-the-slot machine, and was prepared to take any stand provided that stand was lucrative to its own- ers. He went on to explain that deception and fraud was the policy of The Globe, but he would not be prevented by its blackguardism and vilification from standing up for his Province and seeking to prevent the C. P. R. from strengthening its mon- opoly there. These was of course no debate following this attack. At the close of his outburst the Premier UJLV VOVUV _ Went up to Mr. McInnes’ seat "and talked to him for a few minutes. Possibly he was trying the sunny ways of conciliation.” In answer to the charges made by Mr. Mclnnes, 1897.

At Winnipeg, on Friday, March 26th, Mrs. L. S. Campbell, daughter of Mr. Robert Breckenridge, Sr., of this place, and her five children narrowly escaped aSphyxiation by gas. Mrs. Campbell, whose husband formerly resided in Sydenham townâ€" ship, but who'had gone to Carman, Man, some time ago, was on her way from here to join Mr. Campbell. Ace ren. Mr. Breckenridge received a letter from his daughter concerning the trouble a few days since, from which we secure the circumstances of the case. Mrs. Campbell did not Ul- L116 Dunc. L'LLUQ vw-“r~___ use the gas when retiring, as she was unaccustomed to it, and there- fore obtained a lamp. She is of the Opinion that the gas had been left turned on the night before or that the children had meddled with it. At all events a little after midnight Mrs. Campbell was awakened bya strange noise made by one of the chil- dren, Elgin by name. She at once arose and discovered that the boy was in a fainting condition. Shortly afterwards the others began to act ;in the same manner and fell over 'as “if in a fit. All this time Mrs. Camp- bell felt the effects of the gas, but managed to summon the porter, and after hard work for along time the. children were brought about. The escape was certainly a narrow one. Guests at hotels cannot be too care- ful in examining the gas jets before retiring for the night; and in cases where they are not used to it the proper parties at the hotel should be forced to take the greatest precaution for fear of something happening.â€" Owen Sound Advertiser. A meeting of Archbishops was held in Montreal last week to confer with the Papal delegate for the purpose of proceeding ,with the work of his mission, which so far as we can learn is not very well defined. It- is report- ed that Messrs. Laurier and Tarte promised to make a number of con- cessions if the delegate will give his approval to the School Settlement. W’e were of the opinion that this vexed question was by the Laurierâ€" Greenway governments placed be- yond the control of Federal or Papal interference and since the Manitoba Legislature has accepted the terms it is hard to see how any further concessions can he made Without reversing the “ No Coercion ” cry of the Federal Government. In looking over the death notices in the different papers on our ex- change liSt we find a great many who l , have lived out the alloted three score ll and ten years. The flattering obit- uary notices that some of them; receive, and the source from which! they come would astonish the departâ€"1 ed were it in their power to see and! hear. all that we mortals do. Anl old man for instance dies at eighty-i five or ninetyyears. Every detail. in connection with the burial parap- hernalia is Spread broadcast and the friends that are left are made all the! émore sorrowful when they read, and; in some instances learn for the first; time, of the virtnes of the departed. g we ate not finding faultwith this but we sincerely believe that man 1 THE DURHAM ( feeling towards him. shouid a man know his faults and failings, and how the world looks up- on him from this standpoing bgt on him from this standpomt out some of his good qualities too 'should be given as an ante mortum Opinion. A wise man cannot be injured by such ‘ and a foolish one will be foolish any-~ way even though he may be wise in his own conceits. If any of our cor- reSpondents can furnish us with some kind references to some of the old people in our own community we’ll be pleased indeed to give place to a brief reference before they are called away to join the great majority. The country owes much to the efforts of the old people ; let us not deSpise them now because they are old, and what we may be pleased to call " be- hind :he _ times.” A little kindly reference will do them good and per- haps demonstrate the power of kind- ness and its influence in making our- selves better. The fools are not all dead. One‘of them borrowed a newspaper, the other day, and discovered an adver- tisement headed: “How to Make Pants Last.” He sent fifty cents for instructions and in due time received the following: “make the coat and vest first.” At last accounts the simpleton was trying to recover his money by legal process. The Turkish territory has been en- tered by Greek brigands and active fighting engaged in. The Turks are beginning to feel serious and prepara- tions are being made for the advance of the Turkish Army. It is not; known whether any of the regulars are among the brigandiers. As soon as the uniform of Greek regulars is seen in the rank-s of the. aggressors, the whole Turkish Army will be ordered to advance. The generals have been ordered to hold themselves :in readiness. The situation is con- !sidered serious, but owing to che general vacillatingificharacter of the movement so far, it is hard to pre- dict the outcome. Mr. Neil Calder purcha‘sed a new mad-cart lately.
