| TY Je ds P tf T Twenty Persons Reported to Have Been Killed on White Pass Railâ€" road. Victoria, B. C., December 16.â€"The steamer Danube, arriving from Lynn Canal, reports a succession of fatal accidents during the construction of the White Pass Railway, caused by an avalanche. First Officer Lawrence, of the Danube, while at Skagway, was told of six of the accidents occurring within a week. He obtained no names, but was assured that about twenty persons had lost their lives on the railâ€" way since the advent of winter. In connection with the numerous applications for exemptions from taxaâ€" tion and other. concessions for manuâ€" facturers, says the Hamilton Herald, the Legislature at its nexb session will have to deal with a large number of requests for private bills to permit muâ€" nicipalties to grant aid by way of bonuses or loans to industries, struggâ€" ling or otherwise, which they desire to retain. There is some ground for hops that the growing number of these apâ€" plications will induce the legislators to deal with the whole subject in such a manner as to prevent municipalities compsting with each other in this way, and make it compulsory that all manuâ€" facturers shall be treated alike, alre‘s Son Turned on the Gas and Ended His Life,. Milwaukee, Dec. 15. â€" Herman Stahlschmidt, 32 years old, has been found dead in bed, with the gas turned on. He was the son of a millionare dynamite manufacturer in Siegen, Gerâ€" many, and had been in this country several years, following his profession of mining engineer. He had received large sums of money from the old country, which he spent freely, _ For the last two months his money did nob come and he was forced to pawn his jewellery. A few days ago he told his friends that if money did not come soon he would commit suicide, ‘ Miller‘s Worm Powders cure all ailâ€" ments of children like magic. A. number of deaths are also spoken of as having occurred on the trail to Bennett, only one, however, being con:â€" firmed. In that case the victim was Ferrow, a well known packer, who was found frozon to death on the summiv. From the time he started to the time he finished in the six day‘s race, Miller ate no meats or solid foods. His week‘s menu consisted entirely of vereals, liquids, fruites and eggs, Weights and measurements of every partiole of food consumed by him were taken by Professor Atwater,of Wesleyâ€" an College, whose intention it is to makea report to the Department of Agriculture at Washington on the reâ€" lation of food â€"to energy in trials of enâ€" durance. _ In aFit of Despondency a Millionâ€" In some cases towns have been inâ€" corporated by special acts providing that theâ€"municipal act shall apply exâ€" cept so far as in the special act is otherwise provided. In such cases where the mode of electing the Council has been otherwise provided for it would seem, unless it appears that the special enactment was only intended to be temporary,that the provisions of the special acts are not repealed by the goneral law, in accordance with the geoneral rule that nriorstatutes are not repealed by implication by subsequent statutes if the prior enactment is special and the subsequent enactâ€" ment general. AVALANCHE IN THE KLONâ€" DIK 8. The amendments made by the munâ€" icipal amendment act, 1898, 61 Vic., chap. 23, have not in express terms done away with wards, and it would seem therefore that persons rated for the necessary qualification are still enâ€" titled to vote in each ward in which they have been rated. _ Bection 158 of muuicipal act provides that "In towns and cities every elector may vote in each ward in which he has been rated for the necessary property qualification, but in case of Mayor of gitles, or Mayor, Reeve or Deputy Reeve of towns, the elector shall bo limited to one vote." Section 159 proâ€" vides that "No elector shall vote more ‘than once for Reeve in a township or village, nor more than once in each ward for Councillors in townships divided into wards, nor at more than ene polling place in the township or village for Deputy Reeve or Deputy Reeves or Councillors in towrships not @ivided into wards and in villages.

NEW DUNDEE "A beautiful place is New Dundes, Its situetion couldn‘t much better be." A meeting of the Waterloo County Temperance Association was hbeld, Thursday afternoon in the Y.M. 0. A. Hall, Berlin. The reporo. of the Treasurer showed that there was a balance of $80 still in the Treasury. The following officers were elected for 1899 : Presidentâ€"Thos. Hilliard, Waterloo. 1st Viceâ€"Presidentâ€"Rev. Dr. Dickâ€" In Montmsgay, Quebec,the election was due to the elevation of P. A. Chol queite to the bench. Mr. Leblanc, Conservative, and P.R. Martineau, Lib} eral, were the contestants, and the Liberal was elected by about 500 maâ€" jorityâ€"returns not complete. At the general election Mr. Choquette had 1143 votes against 901 for his Conâ€" servabive opponent, A. J. Bander. Number of voters on the list, 2899. In Bagot, Quebec, the contestants were Mr. Brodeur, Conservative. and Mr. Marcil, Liberal. The latter was elected by the small majority of 64. The seat was vacated by the death of F. Dapont, Consgerv=iive, who was chosen by acclamation at the general election. Yesterday‘s result is thereâ€" fore a government gain. The battle in East Prince, P. E. I., was between E. A. Lafurgey, Oonâ€" servative, and John Bell, Liberal. The result is in doubt, as several divisions were to be heard from when the reports closed.~The Liberals claimed a maâ€" jority of 120 for their candidate, but the latest bulletin reported that the reâ€" sult was in doubt, The vacancy was caused by the death of John Yeo, Libâ€" eral, who was elected in J une, 1896, by 1916 votes, against 1799 cast for R.A. Hunt, Conservative. Number of voters in the riding 4779. Voting took place in Easb Northumâ€" berland for the Ontario Legislature. The vacancy was caused by the unseatâ€" ing of John A. Douglas for bribery by agents. Dr. Willoughby, Conservative, opposed the same gentleman in both contests, and was again defeated, and by an incieased majorityâ€"586. Mr. Douglas‘ majority on March 1 was 355. In West Lambtorn the vacancy was caused by the appointment of J. F. Lister, Q,.C., to a judgeship. The canâ€" didates here were John Farrell, Corâ€" servative, and Dr. Johnson, Liberal, and the resulb is the election of Dr. Johnson by the large majority of 941. Sarnia and Point Edward alone rolled up & msjority of over 500 for the Liberal candidate. At the last general election Mr. Lister polled 2366 votes, A. C. Dewar 1208 and W.J.

Mr Ira S Weber occu. pied the chsir. The examination was enjoyed by all present. ' Dear Sir,â€"There has sppeared in your columns of recent issues articles on the Swine Plegue or Hog Obolera, expressing doubts as to the existence of the disease in this section. Your readors are aware that I am acting as agent for the Dominion Government, and as I meet with considerable antaâ€" gonism and opposition, as all others who have sver assisted in controlling this obscure and puzzling disease have met with, and as this feeling has been incurred by the views which appeared in your paper I would be thankfal if you would allow me space to show upon what authority I depended for confirâ€" mation of my diagnosis. I inclose the reports of the microscopist on several of the samples sent him for examination, and would have ib clearly underatood that I have not in one case pronounced on the disease without first having a report after bacteriological examinaâ€" tion.. Therefore I must ke guided by such reports or conclude that science is of no avail, In tha case of Mr. Israel B. Gingrich mentioned in your paper, it appeared as if I had said it was hog cholera, and the analysis found no trace of the disease. In correction I would say that it was by mutual agueeâ€" ment that I visited Mr. Gingrich‘s farm, as he had some hogs which he bhad found were not in good healtb. We then set a date when one or two wou‘ld be killed for examination, which was done. In the first, a yourg pig, very little evidence of any disease exâ€" isted, but sufficient abnormal condition existed in tho Ilungs to account for & cough which had been noticed. The second, an older animal, which coughed severely at the time of slaughter, nothâ€" ing of importance was noticeable in the abdominal cavity, but when the thorax was opened there were extenâ€" sive adhssions of the lungs to the thoracic walls, which had to be dissected down with a knife to remove them. A state of grey hepatisation existed in by far the largest portion of both lungs with some of the anterior lobes comâ€" pletely changed and solid, while the bronchial tubes were filled with thick, inspissated mucous. The pericardial sac was thickened and adhering to the beart, all showing that an extensive in flammation of some time standing bad existed. I did not proncounce this swine plague, but stated that conditions exâ€" isted which we found complicated wibh the disease, and took samples and sent them for examination as in all other cases and you may publish the result. I therefore enclosse reports asking their return, also asking that names of the diffarent farmers mentioned may be withheld. AccoipENTs.â€"On Moaday while Mr. Conred Gies was leading out t wo horses to water them one of them kicked tho hired man, MrJohn Bruder, who was behink and broke his jaw bone.â€"Mr W Steiss, while chopping wood in the bush last week was knocked down by a log and braisedâ€" severely. _ Had it not been for the deep snow he might have had his leg broken.

A man‘s liver and stomach are twin machines that work together, either to make or unmake. If they work wrong, they deplete and poison. his blood. Impure and impoverâ€" ished blood mean sickness and death. If they work right, they purify and enrich the blood. A man whose blood is rich and gure, and whose liver is active cannot well e unhealthy. Headaches, biliousness, inâ€" digestion and costiveness, which men genâ€" erally disregard, are Nature‘s warnings that the twin mechanism, stomach and liver, is working against, instead of for bim. _ Dr. Pierce‘s Golden Medical Discovâ€" ery is the best medicine to use under these cireumstances. _It creates. appetite, corâ€" rects all disorders of the digestion, invigorâ€" ates the liver and fills the arteries with rich, red, healthy blood. As an invigoratâ€" ing, restorative tonic, it is far superior to all the malt extracts. _ It is the great bloodâ€" maker and fleshâ€"builder. It does not build sickly, flabby fat as cod liver oil does, but the firm, muscular tissues of health. ‘‘For the last nine years," writes William Miller, Esq., of 651 Mulberry Street, Reading, Pa., "I have been very poor in health.
