A. campaign to raise $1200 in one day has been eminent- ly successful, and the committee have exceeded their objective. It was feared from the start that the goal would not be reached, after last week’s canvass for the British Red Cross. At time of going to press, this Friday, it looks as if the donations would run well up to $1500. As the Proclamation hills simply had to be out this w eek, and it fell to our lot to do the \V ork, the paper had to be delayed. and is late in consequence.

Not much credence was plac- ed in the story generally, but to re- assure those who had relatives HI these units. a telephone message tn Hanover elicited the information that there was absolutely nothing in the rumor. Word has been received here that Alex. Turnbull, who is in ser- vice at the front, was recently proâ€" moted from private to corporal and awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal for bravery, in a hand to hand fight, in which he killed a German soldier and saved the life of an officer. Corporal Turnbuil was a resident of {the Vicinity of Dornoch, and attended the High school here a few years ago, pre- \‘iuus to going to British Columbia, where he answered the call for owrseas service. He is a nephew of Mr. Tlios. Turnbull, who lives a. mile or so up the gravel. A wrecked aeroplane was taken ihrough here Monday, en route to Camp Borden for repairs.

They left. here Monday noon, and we‘ll venture to say the return trip was no picnic.

He was about 50 years of age, and spent the greater portion of his life in this town. where he was well- known as an efficient and obliging tailor. and a fayorite with all his acquaintances. He died at the home of his sister. Mrs. Marshall, where he remained since leaving here some months ago. Two sis- ters, and one brother. Mrs. Mar- shall. Miss Annie Robertson. and Mr. Archie Robertson, remain to mourn his death. He was highly esteemed by all, and his death is regretted. Inter- ment takes place from Mrs. Park‘s residence to Durham cemetery. on Friday afternoon at two o‘clock. We have not. full particulars. C. H. Cowan, of Toronto, was in town for a few days last week in- vestigating the circumstances sur- rounding the recent burning of Mrs. Murdock’s house, south of the town. Mr. Gowan is deputy fire- marshall, and is engaged at this work continually. In a conversa- tion with The Chronicle. he stated it his opinion that the house had been fired by lightning, as reported previously in these columns. 0w- ing to the large number of fires in the past couple of years, the de- partment is becoming more strict, and investigates nearly ex erx con- flagration with “him it comes in touch h. Mr. Norman McDougall. whose family lives on the south line, Glen- e g, and who, op till recently has been a constant resident in that neighborhood, but has been lately working near Brantford, was strickâ€" en with an attack of appendicitis and came to Durham on Monday night on his way home. still sufferâ€"- ing from the disease, but his con- dition was such that Dr. Hutton, his physician, detained him here. and an imm'ation was performed at the local hospital here by Dr. (.iroves. of Fergus. assisted by Drs. Hutton and Jamieson, on \Vednes- day morning. His condition is. gnaw. and hopes for his reCiiwery doubtful.

A program was rendered, consist- ing of a solo by Mrs. Buchan, and Miss Blyth, a recitation by Miss Livingston, and a duet by Mrs. Stimmmse and Miss Caldwell. At the close, Mr. Catton was called on as a representative of the town. and :ulvocated strongly the need of giving, and urged that the council be asked for a grant. The town hall is now provided with a fire escape. For fifty years Durham audiences have escaped danger from fire or other mishaps in connection with entertainments, and nothing might happen for fifty years more. The law requires such a exit in case of an emergency, and the council, after much hesitation has granted the requirement. There were some who always sat in fear during crowded performances, but with the additional exit they can have greater ease of mind. The lit- tle steel stairway, for that’s all it is, cost the town $225, and we hope they'll never need to use it. The council is perfectly justified in the outlay, in fact it was imperative to make it.. None of the public build- ings are too well provided with means of escape in case of accident.
