John Woiich.broth- er of the accused, lulls tliia ttory of the crimo : "I went on Thunday night and saw my swUsr strike my mother on the head with the axe-handle. I aaw my sister kill tha baby with the axe-handle. She had no reaaou for it She amid there waa a young fvllow named Jim and he would marry her if the got rid of the mother and the baby, and said she would ^ 'do' me if I amid anything. I waa afraid. I got a pig's head when I waa in town. Jennie got paper and tried to burn the bodies. Mother's toes and feet are all '. (,.!, -d, a* if they had been frozen. We ! buried her in the snow near the tiack, in a hole. We floor." John became a little mixed and said afterwards his mother WHS deoil when he grabbed Chiaf Dsaly by the shoulder with her hand and gav him quite a ahake by way of adding etnphaaia to her plei that she was a innocent womaa. L-mkiug towardx the ceiling of her cell she im- plored God to wttneni that ahe waa inno- cent of th Urrib'a crime. She shudder- ad at the idea of beinir charged with the murder of her dear old mother and child. "Listen, I say listen, and I will tell the truth and nothing but the truth," she exclaimed with intense eagerneaa, her eyes flashing like diamonds as she made the remark. It waa cold, very cold, no fire in the stove nor a stick of w>od in the house; my sweet mother and child were freezing cold and I left the house to !iru,,< some wood." Oil hr return she was horrified to find her child burnt to death and her mother badly burnt and dying. The child had aet tire to her clothea, part nf hich was a print dross. The grandmother, in endeavoring t > res- cue the child, was also burnt. This was the girl's story. She said she caase to Meaford to earn enough money to buy a coffin, after which ahe intended to return She would never allow the municipal au- thnnties to pay for a coffin for her awet mother and child. The prisoner says ker brother John lies if he says IM was at the scene of the fire. She said Mveral I am Dutch and French," but . she speaks Engliah quite fluently.

There is a great deal of populnr feeling over the crime, and crowds of people viewed the bodies of the dead to-day. THE ,,M IN VJU1K.XTKII.

First of all, because the principal ingredient used in it is the extract of genuine Honduras sarsaparilla root, the variety richest in medi- cinal properties. Also, because Cures Catarrh %& raised expressly for the Company, is always fresh and of the very best kind. With equal discrimina- tion and care, each of the other ingredients are selected and com- pounded. It is THE Superior Medicine because it is always the same in appearance, flavor, and effect, and, being highly concentrated, only small doses are needed. It is, therefore, the most economical blood-purifier in existence. It makes food nour- ishing, work Peasant, sleep refreshing, and life enjoyable. It searches out all impurities in the system and expels them harmlessly by the natural channels. AVER'S Sarsaparilla gives elasticity to tha step, and imparts to the aged and infirm, renewed health, strength, and vitality. AVER'S Sarsaparllla PrctKired by Dr. J. C Ayrr * Co.. LcmoU Main.
