 â- HP..U" m .1 t â- * SI I. Id i. I 4 !J ll 1* The want of a thoroughly trained ^^ _^ ^^^ fire brigade in Markdale is apparent j Eap'iJ^j^ij to all. While some appear to think very gQ^j^jj^ ' little could be accomphshed without I Qgpjgy ' an engine, we are of opinion that a pp^j^^ well trained company, with a hook and ladder outfit would do as much, if not more, m nine cases out of ten, to saye property and extmguish a fire m a place like Markdale, than would be done with such an engine as this place could afford to procure. Tho coipor ation could grant suflScient to pur- chase a hook and ladder outfit, and no ratepayer would leel the cost, while the prompt and well directed eflForts ol an efficient and trained body of men would no doubt be a great miprove- ment on the prbsent state ol thiugs. We would like to see our Villaere Po- lice give some assistance in the mat- ter. Of course there is no encourage- ment to form a company without the co-operation of the authorities. The majorities are as each Mtmicipality. EAST 6BCT. Lander Artemesia, Collingwood, THE EAILWA 1 GOBBLE. In another column we ^ive a clip from the World oi Saturday last inti- mating that arrangements are in pro- gress whereby tbe Grand Trunk is likely to control the Northern, Hamil- ton Northwestern and T. G. B. Kailw..y8. Should such arrrange- ments be completed, the question will very naturally arise, what will be the result? The Grand Trunk would then control four points on the Georgian Bay, viz Collingwood, Meaford. Owen Sound and Wiarton. We believe this (tbe T. G. B.) line to Owen Sound would be made the main line of the five roads leading to the lake; the Durham branch would likely be extei'ded to Markdale, thereby giving a direct route West as well asEast.we hope soon to be in a position to giye our readers something more definite on this important question. MR. ANDi.RSON'S FIBE. Last week we mentioned the fact that Mr. J. R. Anderson of Orange Valley, Artemesia, had the misfortune of bavujg bis residence destroyed by fire, but were not in possession of fur ther pardculEirfc-. Tlie fire originated in the kitchen, and is supposed to have been working in the neighbourhood of the chimney during the night, and broke out about fivt- o'clociv m the mdruing. While the family were enjoying peaceful slum- bt:r8 ill tbe upper poriion ol tUehouse they were awakened by tbe crackling of the tire on the rwf. They first diiected thejr attention towards en- deavouring to extinguish the fire but the supply of water failed, and all bauds turned to to save whatthey could of the contents and succeeded in sav- ing considerable in good order, yet a great amount was consumed â€" $15.00 in cash, together with Life Insurance and other valuable j)apers were burn- ed. A voung lad who had earned and received for lighting fires at the school housf,some $0 or $7,had his liitle all burned. Mr. Anderson's house was a very comlortabie one, built some eight years since by the late Jamea Waldie. It was well furuishjd and carpeted throii^'hoiu. The loss i not less tiiiin §1,8U0: insured in the Gore District for S500, which amount Mr. Anderson w:ill no doubt i eceive. 84 111 2 807 140 Maj. for Lauder 167 BOUTH OBEY.

A railway lawyer of this city wbo ought to know is authority for the statement that the agents of the Giand Trunk have secured a con- trolling interest of the Hamilton and Northwestern and that they will soon have the Northern. For some time back the bonds of the Hamilton and Northwestern have met with a readv sale, and it was evident that some person was very active in buying them in. It was suspected at the time that the buyers were acting for tbe Grand Trunk. It is also reported that the litiga- tion regarding the Toronto, Grey and Bruce will soon be over â€" tliat those who ai e holding out against tbe Grar'd Trunk assuming control will be quiet- ed and peacable possession allowed. 1 â€" I Rpvival r.ervises are being held in the Flesherton Metiiodist Church by the pastor.
