Four people, two men and two women were reported nearly washed overheard and a part of the rail washed away when a big wave fame aboard. They were sitting on one of the forward hatches when the wave .broke and washed them into the senppers. One of the women tainted and had to be carried to the cabin.

Going down the St. Lawrence the trip was pleasant and the scenery beautiful until"they struck the fag bank of Newfoundland, which held them up forever four hours. From here to the coast of Ireland the weather was stormy, and nearly everybody seasick. Miss Isobel was the first to succumb, and she was sick nearly the whole trip, being forced to take to her bed. Master Jimmy. too. suffered somewhat, but his sickness was more. of the "in again. out again” variety. Jimmy positively refused to miss any meals, and was quite a regular attendant at the table. tl‘iough according to the letter. he shortly afterwards was generally as regular an attendant at the side of the ship at that inter- national and popular sport known; as "l'eejrding the fish.“ Tom him.self,i also felt rather touchy amidship‘s at} times. and missed a few meals. but' says he was generally able to eat and take a smoke afterwards. _ â€" v 'v vvvl.~’ we leave to the imagination of our readers.

The child had never been strong and death was not altogether unexpected. Generally speaking, the law is pretty well observed, and we hope that prosecutions will not be made promiscuously. and in cases only where owners refuse to obey the law. It is felt generally, too, that some latitude be shown a man who tries to keep his dog from running at large, but which breaks loose at times and wanders about town. During the past couple of weeks a few of our citizens have been up on the carpet before Police Magistrate Laidlaw for infractions of the by- law prohibiting dogs running at large. This by-law became effectiye last first of April, but it appears considerable, leniency was granted and the enforcement of the ordinance was not gone ahead with. A couple of weeks ago, seeing that the owners were, not going to live up to the by- law, the council instructed the constable to lay informations and, new, not even excepting a discussion on prohibition, about the quickest way to get into a heated discussion in town is to take either side of the dog by-law. Town Authorities Prosecute Owners of Dogs Running at Large. , DOG OWNERS FINED FOR NOT OBSERVING BY-LAW Already seven applications have been receivml throughout. the county and many more are expected before the entry list. is closed. The seven applications are: Normzniby ('2) Bentinck (1) Gleneg (1), Holland (2):. ,and Collingwood (1 }. ’l..‘hree from each township will be selected to make the trip to Toronto and so far the County Council has voted $50.00 toward the expense. “'0 understand the Department of Agriculture is trying,r to formulate some plan whereby the expenses or the. competitors to and from the city will be reduced to a minimum.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE COURSE AT LIBRARY W hile absent from Durham nearly a score of years, Mr. Brown has never lost interest, in the town of his boyhood and keeps himself in- formed of local happenings every week by perusing The Chronicle. Woe wish him success at Shelburne. Mr. Brown is a courteous. kindly host. knows the hotel business thoroughly and Shelburne is’ to be congratulated on securing him as a citizen. We have not known Mr. Brown very intimately since he left Durham. but we predict that he will give Shelburne a hotel service second_ to none in a town of its size. Since leaving here M1. Brown has followed hotel- keeping at Markdale. Dundalk and othex places, and for the past 1m )oars “as connected with the Grand Central hotel at Orgngeyille. Mr. \Ves. Brown, a resident of this town about twenty years ago, and a man of many years hotel experience, has taken over the Mansion House at Shelburne and commenced on his new duties last. week. Wes.

Captain J F. \Vright has just completed the building of a neat cement sidewalk on his projerty on College street. This is the first move in this direction on this street and it is altogether likely that others will soon follow his example by installing this modern improvement. Now that it is all over and a calmer View can be taken of the situation, the town is lucky that the fire did so little damage and we think all could plainly see Sunday evening that Durham is in need of a more adequate fire-fighting sys- tem. While the firemen did good work when once started they were seriously handicapped in not having a proper place “on the river bank to place their engine and the general opinion is that immediate steps should be taken to build the long- talked-of stands so that in case of emergency the brigade will have as little difficulty as possible in getting their engine set and get down to work with the least possible delay. There should also be no delay in installing a proper alarm system of some kind. I Mr. Noble. too. has no idea as to :what. his loss will be. and Mr. Kear- Lney did not care to make any state- ment without a fuller investigation. Both carry a small insurance. The Bell 'I‘elephone Company. too, lost about seventy or eighty feet of cable. the loss of which put all the west. end telephones out of use, but Mr. Griff, the local lineman, was on the job early Monday morning‘and had a cable splicer in on the noon train Monday getting the service back to normal. The building in which the firn started was owned by Mr. John Mc- Kochnie. who carried no insurancv. While a frame structuro. and a building valued' at about three hundred dollars. we would judge it, to be worth about seven 0;- eight. hundrod dollars to roplaco at. present, prirvs. At one time it looked as though the laundry and Fischer‘s garage would go and the, pi-0prietors commenced vacating the premises. Autos and tools were taken from the garage and parked on the qtreet. as well as some of the. movable furnishings in the“ laundry. building. - Across the street. the (Thine-w laundry and the Fischer garage had narrow escapes. as. with a south- west wind, the flames were hlewn across the street and deposiled many burning (.‘llldPl'S which in many instances ignited the shingles and would undoul‘neclly have caused serious loss in the McIntyre block had they not been looked after by men on the roof with huckets.

Scene and who say that. the front doors 0f the, building were locked and that the hnly part of the premises on fire was the office. As Mr. Noble was out of town. having left about noon, he. too, can throw no light on the matter, and the chances are that. its origin will always remain a mystery.
