Large. of 'l‘oronto. At high noon the. happy couple. walked into the parlor to the strains of the bridal march "Happy Nuptials," played by Mrs. Newton. Rev. Mr. Newton performed the ceremony, after which wngratula- tions and good wishes followed from the assembled friends. The guests then repaired to the dining room where a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. The wedding cake, a beautiful four story one, was pro- nounced h f all who partook of it to he the, best they had ever tasted. The father's gift was a cheque for $100. The mother’s, all that could be desired on household goods. The gifts from friends were too numerous to mention many eostly gifts of silverware being among the presentations. The bride‘s wedding dress was white taffeta silk trimmed with silk valeneienns lace and chiffon ruehing, her going away gown was dark green cloth. with seal brown velvet hat and ostrich plume and was most becoming. The. bride THE Baptist church was filled, with an interested audience; to listen to Evangelist Vansickle’s discourse on the novel subject “The Devil; His power character and profession as compared with Jesus Christ. " And judging from the rapt attention given by the large audience; to the clear, forcible and scriptural presentation of these two characters ; all were deeply interested. It would be difficult to listen to the logical presentation of scripture state- ments, and not be impressed with the reality of these two personages. and the wisdom of serving Christ.

In ordering the trick bal- lot boxes he had thetinsmiths put in big receptacles for the bogus and switched haunts. Ross doesn’t think \Vhitney compe- tent to lead the Ontario Government but shows much kindness in wishing him to play seceond fiddle and ride lwhind the hand wagun in a coalition g<')\‘m°l'nnent. The Editor of this paper used to troll for pike an black bass in Lough- horo Lake. but that was before the resourceful Grit candidates started their trick ballot box hatchery. Of ten that were drowned to prevent detec- tion, nine were fished out last Monday by the Government detective in charge of the ease. Byron O. Lott, Liberal candidate in ‘Vest Hastings was in Toronto to at- tend the Lily-white Liberal Self- admiration Society of Political Pur- ists, but an accident in the bogus bal- lot box business prevented him taking part in the Purity pow-wows. Some of us may have forotten to Remember Lot’s \Vife, but things are so fresh in our memories now that fmv of us can fail to remember Mrs. Lott’s Husband. The Ontario GoveJnment is getting so rotten that all the good men are leaving the Cabinet. Stratton is out now and has refused to'accept the Convention in his old constituency. Ross will be leaving after the next election. VVhat’s the good of Lott’s evidence if he tried to teach a young Roman Catholic that it wasn’t perjury for him to swear on a Protestant Bible? To Reilly’s credit, .Wever, he got a little riled over the situation and claimed that his oath would be sacred if he took it on a chip. Ross recommended Lott as a deter- mined man who was sure to get any- thing he took in his head, but. even Ross fooled himself for Mr. Lott failed to get the election with all his trick ballot boxes and Canal baits. The bogus ballot boxes were shipped as bee-hives, but they turned out to be hornet’s nests to Lott and be skipped to get rid of them. The. temperance people are not satis- fied with the temperance plank in the Liberal platform, and the Ontario Al- liance is going to issue a manifesto, The first thing the Grand Old Man. Russ knows he’ll be hauled up for a hrearh of promise. Kelly. an employee in the Crown Lands Department, was in company with Lott, Shihley and others of trick box fame. Though A. G. MacKay the newly-fledged Commissioner of (‘rown Lands, says there is nothing in the evidence to connect Kelly with the rrilne, there is quite enough in the evidence to show that he wasn’t keep- ing good company. Moreover, his assmriation with those particular men at that particular time is enough to cause suspicion in any ordinary mind. The Bogus Ballot Boxes were made in ‘Vatertown, and nine of them at least have been since in \Vater down. A very peculiz‘tr case comes up in the County of \Ventworth by which Mr. sealy, the Liberal candidate elect. was unseated on a recount, owing to one of the deputy returning ' officers igno- rantly,lwe presume, putting a number on the back of each ballot correspond- ing to the Voter’s‘ number as recorded on the poll book of that particular polling subdivision. The Judge has evidently followed the law in the mat. ter which invalidates any ballot having any distinguishing marks thereon. The people no doubt voted conscien- tiously enough and whatever the law in the «matter may be it seems unfair that electors should be disfranchised through unconscious ignorance on the part of a depiity returning officer. The ballots are no doubt legally voided by the marks of the returning officer, but if there’shother reason it seems The Grits are holding their Conven- to-day, Thursday, to put'up a. candi- date for Dr. J amieson to operate on. to us that M r.

Shibley, Liberal candidate in Frontenac, and Byron O. Lott, Lib- eral candidate in \Vest Hastings, counted on for success in the last elec- tion, is the latest political sensation. Mr. Lott’s brother, whose conscience troubled him on account of the part he took in the fraud, let the cat out of the bag to E. Gus Porter, his brother’s opponent, and the sensation was sprung about the day of the election. Few people then thought there was anything in it, but the subsequent in- vestigation proves it to be a vile plot, known chiefly to the two candidates mentioned, to steal the constituencies. So faras the investigation has gone there is nothing in the evidence to show that the government had any- thing to do with it, even Stratton is out of it yet. There was a story that these trick ballot boxes were to be used in the coming Ontario election, but the evidence so far is wanting in that particular, and the chances are they’ll not be used. Frank. J. Reilly. a professor in Regiopolis College, Kingston, who was induced to take part in the fraud by negotiating for the manufacture of the. boxes with a tinsmith in \Vatertown. N. Y., is a chief witness and tells a good straight story. Shibley and Lott both tried to induce Reilly to leave the country. Lott offered him $50” in a lump sum a1'1(1$:.5a week, the latter sum to be paid by Shibley if he would only leave Canada. Reilly rerused to be bribed, and an ell'ort to induce him to conn'nit perjury because a Protestant Bible would be used was also fruitless. GEORGE S.

Ox Monday last the town lost one of its oldest pioneers in the person of Mr. George Kress Sr., who died after a prolongedillness at the age of seventy- nine years. The deceased was born in Alsace Germany and came to Canada at the age «if twenty-six years settling for a short time at New Market. In a short time he moved to Hamilton where i he was married afterwlueh he went to; Eden Mills remaining at each of the places named only a very short time. About fifty-five years ago he settled in Durham where he conducted a busi- ness in the manufacture and sale of furniture retiring from active life about 1893. In 1897 he lost his wife and since then has been living retired with the resident members of his family and his only unmarried daughter. The family remaining to mourn his depar- ture are Michael, George, J aeob, Ed- ward all living in town, John in \Vis- consin, and William whose present whereabouts is not knoWn. The daughters are Mrs. Hallett, of St. Catharines, Mrs. Ritz, of Middleton N. Y. and Louise at. home. Interment took place \Vednesday to the Durham Cemetery.
