A fatal accident, causing tw > deaths and marked by extia- Oj uinar> leaturetf, occurred here at 2 o'clock this afternoon, when a piledriver UHtd in the construe' ion < f the new Kyltes street bridge over the Big Head river overbaUnced and stalled to full upon a group of workmen I enaa'.h. A .ineul bolt at the very top of the pile- driver caught in a wire which supplies electricity to the iorn from the plant of the Georgian Bay Milling Company, pre- .. iiting the big machine from falling, but t'.i circumstance, which meant the sal- vation of the workmen below, brought death to two others', f>r the electrical current was diverted to the frame of the piledriver. William Cherry, of Meaford, operating the engine tifty feet away, re- ceived the charne through the steel cable of the piledriver, and fell dead. A man named Johuson, whose home is at Owen Suuud, was working half way up the piledriver. He involuntarily seized the cable as the frame tiupcd, and was also killed, his body falling back into the river. The water was so heavily charged w,-_h electricity that Gecrge Randall of MeaforJ, who gnuped Johnston's hand t ; draw out the body, was rendered no- conscious. The body was finally pullnl out by looping a rope around it. Sev- e:al tpectators received slight shocks from the water or the pill-driver frame before the power could be shut oil'. The bridge under construction is to replace 01 e *wept away in the spun; Hoods. Eugenia Paragraphs Dundalk Mr. James Jelly, of shelburne, met with an auto accident ill Dundaik on the liith.

The Cement Company operates a railway from the works here to the marl beds. Carson, who had charge if a gana; of men, wa.s engaged in moving the tracks, and in mine manner the bucket attached to the. crate on the Hteam derrick swung arouno. and struck the unfortunate man on the back of the head, breaking his neck and several ribs.

French Dry Cleaning We have put in a French Dry Cleaning Plant aud aie prepaied to do this work on short notice aud at icasonable prices. A method introduced by tho French for the purpose of cleaning the linest as well as the heaviei garments worn, such as wool, felt, linen, cotton, leather, gloves, fur, feathers, straw, laoe and water- proof goods without washing or shrinking tliuiii so as iu,l to get them out. of shape or fade the most delioate fabric trimming. The fict is well known that a garment of silk or wool, if steam cleaned or washed, can never be pressed into shape, and it takes 'ill the oil out of the wool ; so that goods will never wear or look as wel! again besides shrinking the goods. Therefore, rignriiiK "> small extra eipen.se of Dry Cleaning, no no one can att'urd to take chances of having their work done other- wise. Many household articles, such as curtains, table covers, drapes, etc , that would be utterly ruined if washed, can be dry Cleaned, thus restoring them to their former beauty and usefulness and will not cause them to fade or the olors to run. The Dry (.'leaning Vrocess prevents the carrying of contagious diseases ou garments thus treated : it is also a disinfectant and moth preventive. S. J.
