A dispatch from Whitby tells of the instant death of Gerald B.

The accident occurred at a crossing one mile west of Pickering village and according to what information can be gained the young man is believed to have been walking along the track. The body was taken to Pickering station and later, on instructions of the coroner. removed to an undertaking parlor in the village. An inquest was called for Tuesday of this week.__ _ _ ‘ A A.

An until recently no one was ever bitten by a snake of that species that did not die. But this St. Louis snake struck and bit its keeper and the snake died and the keeper lived: The attendants claim that the snake contracted pneumonia shortly after at- tacking the keeper and died from pneumonia. And the doctors state that they gave the keeper two blood transfusions among other things to overcome the powerful p01son 01 the snake’s fangs. But those details do not alter the case.

Locally, farmers are not at all pes- simistic, but they would like to see the weather clear and warm up and given this, predict bumper crops in this part of Ontario. The present spring has been feat- ured by the heaviest rainfalls record- ed in a long time. At the time of the April floods there was a total of 2.23 inches of rainfall recorded in a single night. Several smaller showers oc- curred with too much frequency, and on May 1 a fall of .86 inches came down over night. Last Saturday at- ternoon probably the heaviest storm of the season arrived and all that pre- vented a serious rise in ,the rivers seems to have been the short time the storm lasted. On Saturday in the course of about three hours there was a rainfall of 1.79 inches. Clearing Sunday and Monday, it was not until Tuesday that another rainfall of .49 inches fell. This in itself would not have meant very much in a normal season, but with what we have had so far a fall of approximately half an inch is quite a lot. So far as can be judged, it looks at the present like continued backward weather for another week or so, but even yet with a warm sun and a cessation of the rain the growing con- ditions for crops already in the land would be excellent. SOFTBALL AGAIN T0 RULE THIS SUMMER There seems little abatement in the wet weather that has been with us now for the past few months and at this time, the 16th of May, conditions are beginning to look serious for the framers. especially those who have not been able to get their crap in the ground. While some report that they have completed seedng, others tell us that they cannot even get on certain parts or their land the ground is so wet. The only consolation that can be handed out so far as the local sit- uation is concerned is that we are at least no worse off than the greater portion of the North American con- tinent, and that even with our spring floods and damage to bridges other sections of the continent have been much harder hit. ~ Heavy Storm Saturday Was Fem by Dull Weather and Further Rain Mamâ€"My Farmers Have Only Part of Crop Sewn. ’ Rain Was General ' Over Week-End Marriage is like stud poker.

The Hanover team were well up in their work, made a good impression on local Odd Fellows for their efliciency and. ing was the presentation of a 25-year jewel to Mr. Robert Hughes, who “has completed a quarter century» as a member of the order. HANOVER TEAMJIERE LAST MONDAY NIGHT Mr. Dunn’s address dealt with the work of the church generally. His ad- dress did not touch very heavily on the financial position of the church. This was satisfactory, but it was men to do the work of the church that were needed at present. This was es- pecially true of the outlying districts. There seemed a dearth of young men. or men of any kind. to take up the work they could do and he appealed to his hearers to make an attempt to rectify this shortcoming. This draw- back was not peculiar to the Presby- terian church by any means. It was the general thing, and one of the hard- est parts of church life was to get the men working properly in taking their share of the tasks that had to be done. Miss Lamont’s address referred al.- most entirely to the field work of the church along the lines of missions. She confined her remarks to the pro- vinces of Ontario and Quebec, telling of the work that was being done in the Northern part of this province and in our sister province to the east. Greetings were received from the United church in Drayton, the Mission Band put on a pageant, and at the close the Drayton ladies served lunch. Ten were present from Durham Presbyterian church and report them- selves as greatly impressed with the success of the meeting. Conferred Degrees For Local Odd. Fellowsâ€"Made Good Impression and. Members of Both Lodges Spent Mrs. J. H: Harding is secretary of the Mission Band, and Mrs. A. W. H. Lau- der secretary of the Young Pe0ple’s Society. The Presbyterial of the Presbytery of Saugeen met at Drayton on Tuesday of this week, and with a large attend- ance and favorable reports from all the delegates, the past twelve months have been most successful. The of- ficers for last year were re- -elected those of local interest being: President. Mrs. R. B. Ledingham, Harriston; Vice-President, Mrs. B. D. Armstrong, Durham; Recording Secre- tary, Mrs. Meston, Palmerston; Secre- tary-Treasurer, Mrs. J. D. McPhee, Mount Forest. Heard Good Speakers The chief speakers at the meeting were Rev. G. M. Dunn of Toronto, Treasurer of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and Miss Lamont, one of the Field Secretaries, also of Toronto. Presbyterian Churches of Saugeen Presbytery Reported Good Year Financially and 0therwise.â€"Good Addresses Given by Outside Speakers. There are no clues to work on, but it is possible an abandoned car near the town may lead to something that will incriminate the guilty parties. The burglary is evidently the work of amateurs, and poor ones at that, and it is hardly likely that they covered their tracks well enough to escape detection for long. ed in the vain attempt to discover more loot. Proceeding to the Arm- strong livery barn they broke the lock off the gasoline pump to secure gas- oline, hand later broke the lock ofl the office door and stole an over- coat.

An accident that is more important- for its peculiarity than for its news value occurred at the sawmill of the Durham Furniture Company here a few days ago when the big saw, with- out any warning, flew into a hundred pieces or so. Considering that the full complement of workmen were engaged at their daily tasks and that the pieces of the saw were distributed to all parts of the mill. it is miraculous that no one was injured. At the time the saw flew to pieces a small log was being put through the machine, and as there was apparently nothing the matter when inspected be- fore work began, it is thought that something in the log caused it to jam and, being of the high speed variety, it naturally flew to pieces. _ New Addition Progressing The addition to the storage room, which has been rather held up during the past few days on account of wet weather, is going ahead and it is ex- pected that with a few days of fine weather the bricklayers will soon be ready for the roof. The tunnel under- neath the railway track connecting the store room with the main factory is about completed. When finished, this new building will prove a great con- venience. and do away with a lot of the congestion now felt in the main factory. Peculiar Accident At Furniture Factory Had Happy Ending, Although Several Had Narrow Escape. In connection with his honor’s com- ment on the general use of motor cars, it is interesting to note, league ofiicial's stated, that in 1914 there were 25,000 automobiles in Ontario; today there are half a million. In 1914 decision was brought about by an appeal taken by the league from a Toronto police court decision by which a service station owner who sold gas on Sunday was convicted of a violation of the Lord’s Day Act. “I have no hesitation,” Judge Morson ruled, “in deciding that the sale of gasoline on Sunday by a garage to automobiles which are now in such general use is a work of necessity and not within the exceptions laid down by the Lord’s Day _a_ct._”_ In Ottawa an appeal is being taken from the convictions of a number of service station men who pleaded guilty to performing illegal work con Sunday. Despatches did not state under what law the police laid the charges. Judge Morson’s ruling clearly stated that the Lord’s Day act did not affect this work. Bursting Saw : Caused No Injury Despatches relating an attempt by the Ottawa police to close gasoline ser- vice stations on Sunday were read with surprise by Ontario Motor league offi- cials, it was learned over the week- end, because a judgment permitting Sabbath trading by service stations was given in Toronto by Judge Mor- son as far back as 1914.

Who invented the automobile? The notion that the inventor was Henry Ford or Thomas Edison is widely held on this continent. But in Germany they give the credit to Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz, the latter of whom died recently. France recognized Pan- hard and La‘vassor as the inventors. and there was an Englishman named Butler who built an internal combus- tion engine in 1885. The truth is that the motor car had no single inventor. says the Toronto Mall and Empire, but was the product of half a dozen invent- ions, lacking any or which the motor car would not have come intOexistence. The death of Ethel Isobel Standen. five-months’-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Standen of town. occurred at the, Cottage Hospital, Toronto, on Sat- urday afternoon, the remains being brought to the parental home here. from where the funeral was held on Monday afternoon. Interment was made in Durham cemetery, the services being in charge of Rev. W. H. Smith of Knox United church. The little patient had been a sufferer for some weeks and was taken to Toronto for treatment, but to no avail. Mrs. Standen received notice on Friday of the serious condition of her daughter and went to Toronto to be at ner bedside. Durham friends will sympa- thize with the fond parents in their charge of the service. The pail-bear- ers were old friends of the deceased. Messrs. J. McGowan, John Smith. G. McKechnie, J. Burt, T. Allan and A. Crutchley, and many old friends were present at the station to pay a last respect to her memory. bereavement. The remains were brought to Dur- ham on the 1 o’clock C. N.

Smith of Knox United church had Surviving are one son, Allan, in Hamilton, Ella (Mrs. Dr. Burnett). Burlington, and Jessie (Mrs. G. A.

Mrs. Robertson had enjoyed excep- tionally good health during the past couple of years and it was not until a week ago last Monday that she was taken down with a paralytic stroke. which rendered her bedfast. She never entirely lost consciousness. but from the first little hope was entertained for her recovery, and she passed away on Monday of this week, just one week after being taken ill. The late Mrs. Robertson was a most sociable woman, made and retained many friends. and a host of her old friends and neighbors in Durham were greatly shocked when the news of her passing became known. The death of Mrs. Adam Robertson on Monday at the home of her daugh- ter, Mrs. (Dr.) Burnett. Burlington, removes another of the older residents of Durham and severs one more link: in the long chain of those pioneers who are rapidly growing fewer and fewer as the years pass on. Mrs. Robertson was predeceased bv her husband, the late Mr. Adam Robinson. in March, 1924, and after disposing of her property here went to Burlington to live with her daughter. Mrs. Bur- nett, and son Allan in Hamilton. She also spent a year with her daughter. Mrs. G. A. Smith at Mason City, Iowa. Mrs. Robertson was before her mar- iage 55 years ago, Miss Mary Allan of Orchard. She was born in Morriston. near Guelph in 1854 and had she lived until next August would have been 75 years of age. When a child she came with her parents to Orchard and has resided. in Durham and vicinity prac- tically her whole life. Following her marriage in 1873 she and her late hus- band lived in Guelph for three years and then moved to Ayton where Mr. Robertson was in charge of the flour mill in that village. In 1882 they moved to Durham when he took over the running of the McKechnie Mills here, and until his death five years ago had been continuous residents of this town, where they were held in the highest esteem as exemplary citizens and neighbors.
