Since the referendum vote closed up the bar-rooms of the city very little drunkenness has been noticed. During the past couple of weeks the citizens are having pneumatic tubes installed in their homes and the drinks are sent up on application. This is considered a great improvement on the old syS- tern as it prevents large crowds assem- bling in one place to :create a disturb- ance. Senator Miller, of Campbell’s Cor- ners, a fashionable suburb of the city, is home from Ottawa and spent yes- terday afternoon with the Honorable Robert Morice, Ex-Minister of Marine and Fisheries. Since Mr. Morice was elected to the Federal House for the South “hard of the City, he has been most active in the discharge of his duties and should the Liberal party be ‘ again returned to power he stands a good chance for the Premiership. The Conservative party under the premier- ship of Sir “7m. Calder is evidently losing ground' and a change is almost sure to result from the elections next Mayor Swallow started this morn- ing in his new air ship to confer with some of the leading engineers of Paris, London and New York with a View to having plans and specifications pre- pared for the road which will be com- menced about the first of March. January 21.â€"The by-law for the granting of $100,000 bonus to the un- derground railway was carried yester- day by an overwhelming majority. Never in the history of the city has the Opinion been so unanimous, only three votes being recorded against it. DflRHAM CHRONICLE Yesterday at high noon, a very pretty wedding was solemnized in Holy Trin- ity when Evaline Augusta Constance, eldest daughter of Sir Edward Kmss, vwas united in holy matrimony to Herr Von Molke, German Ambassador. The bride was beautifully attired in eolian silk and was assisted by four younger sisters, all of whom were most artistic- ally gownedin cream satin. Two little tots, younger members of the family, acted as flower girls and the scene was year. Sir William was an old time Liberal and it’s hard for Conservatives to believe in the sincerity of his con- vertion to the party he now leads. MacFarlane Mo.

In the afternoon QMr. and Mrs. *Von Molke took the ; elevated railway to New York and on arrival will take their air ship to Ger- ; many and other European countries. The Gas and Oil Company had a meeting of the Board yesterday after- noon and declared a dividend of 14% for the last quarter of 1926. This makes 44% paid out in dividends to the stockholders during the year and places the Gas and Oil Co. as the best paying institution in the city. Twenty years ago the Company seemed as though it would never be placed on a paying basis and was about to go into liquidation when Arthur Henry Pier- point Jackson and John D. Rockfeller Kelly came to the rescue. From a capitalization of $25,000 they had the charter increased to $25,000,000, and success was at once assured. They are now operating 67412 wells with an average output of fifteen hundred gal- lons per hour from each well. ’ It is rumored that John M. Towner, President and General Manager of the Grand Trunk Railway System will re- sign his posxtion about the first of July next, provided a competent man can be found to fill the situation. Mr. Towner has grown old in the service and feels that it is time for his retire- ment into quieter life. For the past twenty years the company has had a period of uninterrupted progress and as a railway magnate and railway manager Mr. Towner stands on the highest pinnacle of fame. The Farmers’ Manufacturing Sup-l ply 00., whose factory now covers twenty-one acres of ground, decided at the Board meeting last night to add four more storries to the main factory. They have now fourteen thousand hands on the pay roll, but intend to increase the number to twenty thous- and before the end of the present year. Tom Livingston is still general man- ager of the business, and the old gen- tleman sees great prospects for the Company. He shows a pardonable pride when he looks back to 1902 when the little company started out on a very small scale. They have now eight thousand men engaged in the manufacture of Oxford Cream Separa- tors and though the factory is running full capacity night and day they are unable to book orders for delivery be- fore the fifteenth of August next.

I can scarcely write I am so nervous and upset, but I know you will pardon my blunders under those sad sad cir- cumstances. We just arrived to-day from Swathmore at 1 p. m. and brought Margaret and poor Alex.’s re- mains to N. Battleford. We received the news on Friday afternoon. J an° 11th, and Mac, \Vill and myself started for Swathmore Saturday morning. Did not reach there till Monday night. The roads were in a terrible condition and over 40° below zero. It took us six days to make the round trip. Poor Margaret is terribly broken up. Poor girl, she has had a very trying experi- ence. She is surely a brave girl. We found her at Howey’s. Mrs. Howey was very kind and did all in her power for her. You see it was almost a week before we got out to her. It was John Howey who brought us the word, and we telegraphed to Pete and Mortimer and had them wire you. DEATH OF ALEX. CRAWFORD. Mr’. and Mrs. Crawford had a long i wait before getting particulars regard- ing the death of their son who was re- ported frozen on the prairies two or three weeks ago. On Saturday night the information below was received by Mr. Crawford, with whose permission we publish it for the benefit of our readers, many of whom are in deep sympathy with the bereaved family. The letter is written under very trying circumstances, but gives as good an account as will likely ever be given of the sad circumstances under which the young man met- death. At best we can only imagine the awful nightspent as he doubtless wandered too and fro in the awful storm. We can only imagine, too, the awful feeling of his young wife, to Whom he was married only a couple of months. The whole community is in deep sympathy With Mr. and Mrs. Crawford and all the rel- atives who are so sorely afflicted. The letter reads as follows and explains it- self :â€" North Battleford, . J an. 17, Thursday 4:15 p. m. MY DEAR UNCLE AND AUNTIE: Poor Alex. went to get a load of hay on Monday morning, Jan. 7th, with two yoke of oxen. It was a very cold morning, and Margaret begged of him not to go as it was so cold and the snow very deep, but he thought he could manage all right. He left the house at 10:30 a. m., and about 3 p. m. it began to storm and came up a terri- ble blizzard. He got back to within a mile and a half from the house, when we think the oxen had got tired out and he unhitched and left the load and had tried to reach home without it, and must have lost his way as he was found about i of a mile from the trail, and the oxen were found the following Thursday evening at that old sod stable east of your placeâ€"you will know the place. ' Poor Margaret was alone all night, and went out and shouted several times and made thedog bark, thinking if he was lost he would hear them. In the morning she started for Howey’s, and it took her two hours to walk it. The snow was almost to her waist, and John Howey and Jack Nightly immen- iately started to look for him. They found him about 11:30 still alive but unconscious, and John galloped home for the team and sleigh, but he breath- ed his last just before they reached the house. They worked with him a long time to try to bring him too, but it was useless. Poor fellow, his life had The oxen are all right, but were pretty weak when they found them. They had tramped their lines into the snow and they had frozen in and held them there. Alex. Bowie is going to look after the stock. Pete is not here yet. The trains have been blocked and very irregular. We wired him to-day to come if possible, and we will hold funeral till he comes. Margaret would like to have him here. Alex. was not frozen, just his toes ; the! rest of his body was all right and still warm when they got him to Howey’s. \Ve think he must have died from worry and fatigue as Well as exposure, but we will really never know just how it happened. Margaret will write herself after she gets a little more re- conciled. Just at present she 13 not fit to write. We expect a message from Peter any minute. In the mean- time we will do all we can for Margar- Et, and Mac and Will are seeing to arrangements for the funeral. My heart aches for poor auntie. I am sure she must be terribly upset and in suspense so long. 'I feel that this let- kter is a very dlSJODDBCted narrative, yet it will give you a few particulars, and hope it will be a little consolation. Now I will close for i-this time. Will write you again after the funeral with more particulars. With kindest love and sympathy to all,:I am [The Mac mentioned is Male-l 1m Henderson, brother-in-law of the writ. 81'. Mrs. Wm.
