On the evening of the 12th inst., after the Gates of Derry celebration in this village, the following resolution was passed in the Orange hall : " We, the members of L. O. L. No. 996 present at this meeting, desire to express our indignation at'thc course pursued by Bro. S. Hughes, of 557 L. O. L., Lindsay, against Bro. John A. Barron, a member of this lodge ; and hereby request Bro. Hughes to publish the same. L. DEYMAN, Rec-Sec." It was “ rubbing it in,” we thought, rather unmercifully to ask Bro. Hughes to publish the above in his own paper ; nevertheless it appeared in the Warder of the 19th, and Bro. Hughes, after stating that he had been informed by members of the lodge that it was passed at. an unrepreseutative meeting (what- ever that is) by a few of Mr. Barron’s political friends, requested the gentle- men who passed it to attend and defend their casc at a public meeting of Or- angemen and ex-Orangemen in Ingram’s hall, Feuelon Falls, on Friday evening, August 23rd, at 7.30 o’clock, and in- vited Mr. Barron and his friends to be present, promising them an hour and a half in which to defend their case. When the Wardcr reached the Falls the members of L. O. L. No. 996 were surprised, and not a little annoyed, at Bro. Hughes having taken upon him- self to call a public meeting at which to discuss private affairs, and he was promptly informed that they would meet him in their own ball. but not elsewhere. This, however, did not suit Bro. Hughes, who wanted to deliver a meandering oration on a variety of topics, and he came down from Lindsay on Friday with a couple of carriage loads of friends and opened his meeting at the appointed hour in Ingram's hall. The attendance, we need hardly say, was very slim, the maximum estimate being from fifty to sixty. Of the few Orangemen present, the great majority were imported for the occasion, and of those who were not Orangemen quite a number were boys, who went in because they saw the hall door open and there was no charge for admittance. Mr. Hugh McDougall was chairman and nearly all the talking was done by Bro. Hughes and Bro. Fairbairn, the latter of whom probably thought the meeting would afford him a good opportunity of diverting attention from his own refusal to sign the Equal Rights petition by pitching into Mr. Barron, which he did with more vim and venom than Sam Hughes, if with not quite as much ability. Indeed, now we come to think of it, our member was not only the text from which both of them preached, but was actually responsible for the meeting being: held. If Bro. Barron hadn’t made himselfâ€"by being what he isâ€" the object of Bro. Hughes’s envy and halved. the latter wouldn’t have in- curred the censure of L. O. L. 996, and. enllsequently. there would not. have b en any necessityâ€"or, rather, any excuseâ€"for calling the meeting. Bro. B. is, therefore, clearly responsible for it; and if he could only have heard what they said about him behind his . back he would haveâ€"laughed. He was accused of pusltint: ten-dollargnld pieces under the doors of free and independent electors, of having an ardent sffecrion FALLS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30TH, 1889. Barron. It will be remembered that at the close of ‘the meeting in this vil lage on the 12th inst. Mr. St. George, asked Bro. Fairbairn why he refused tol sign the Equal Rights petition, and hel replied that he did so beeuuse it wasl “ presented to him by a drunken boy ” ; l but Mr. John H. Moore. the “ drunkenl boy " alluded to (who is about years old and the head of a family) says, in a letter to the Imlepeudenf, that Bro. Fairbuirn said he would not sign the petition “ bCCause it was a censure ou Sir John A. Mucdonald and l his government, and he would not go back on an old veteran’ like Sir John, who had fought so much for his coun try ”; “ but," Mr. Moore pcrtinently adds, “ he must have known that the Equal Rights Association do not recog- nize party or creed, and it would have been much more to his credit if he had given a truthful answer to Mr. St. George, and not tried to get out of it by laying the blame on a person who was not there to defend himself.” Ob- viously, Bro. Fairbairn was in a bad fix, and he found it much easier to heap invectives upon Bro. Barron than to defend his own inconsistency. At the close of the meeting on Friday a motion condemning the motion on the 12th was written by Bro. Hughes, moved by Wm. McKeudry and seconded by Edwin Woods ; but neither the mover nor sec- ondcr is a member of L. O. L. No. 996. It was rushed through by the chairman and carried by a " servile majority,” before a young man whose name we do not know and cannot learn, and who had spoken sensibly against it, had time to prepare an amendment. The meet- ing, judging from the proceedings, Was called simply for the purpose of afford- ing an opportunity of abusing,r Mr. Bur. roo, and has caused M r. Hughes to sink lower than ever in public estimation. Powles’s Corners. (Correspondence of the Gazette.) Mr. John Nugent, Mr. and Mrs. G. London and Miss E.

The destruction is wide.- spread. The breach in the river is over 2000 feet in length, and a swift current swept through, flooding to a dhptll of 12 feet a large extent of country lying adjacent. Many houses were swept away, and a despatch from Chefoo states that the number of persons drowned is too great to be counted. Ten districts are already submerged, and it is feared many more in the low lying country south will suffer a sim~ ilar fate. The latest advices concerning the. earthquake at Kumamota, July 23th, places the number of killed at 18 and the wounded at 19. Fifty-two dwel- lings were demolished. A telegram received on July 30th states that 53 shocks had been experienced and that they continued to be felt. The inhab- itants were sleeping in the open air. The same earthquake was felt in the province of Clukuuo. Considerable less of life is reported, but no particulars have been received. 0.. Discovered in Time. A PLOT TO BLOW .UP THE MICHIGAN STATE PRISON AT JACKSON. JACKSON, Mich, Aug 26.-â€"A great sensation has been unearthed at the State prison. Irving Latimer has been detected in a plot to blow up the prison, and a quantity of a terrible explosive has been found within the prison wall. Latimer is the notorious young dude and business man of this city who was recently convicted of murdering his aged mother, for the purpose of secur- ing her property and relieving himself from financial difficulties. Latimer was locked in the solitary dungeon at once, on the discovery of the plot. For six weeks past the warden has suspected that Lntimcr was at the head of a dar- ing: and devilish scheme to blow up the prison,and he has been watched closely. Last week a “ lumper,” or chorcmau, was detected getting a package near the north wall, which had been thrown over by outsiders during the night. A watchman got the package, having traced it. to Latimer. It contained a quantity of herculcs powder, one of the most terrible of explosives. From other, but reliable. sources it is learned that old prisoners have made use of Latiâ€" mcr's money and secured outside influâ€" ence to execute the gigantic. scheme, which would. if entirely suece~st'ul, have destroyed the prison and let 800 con- victs loose. â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"o-r .â€"â€"-_._. _.. The Minister of Education. (From the Winnipeg Free Press.) M any readers of the Free Press know Mr. George W. Ross, the Minister of Education for Ontario. and many more know of him. They know that all his life he has been directly connected with school affairs; that immediately after completing his own education he benan life as a professional teacher, and that from that day down to the present, lwithout a single break, he has been iconnected with the profession either as la teacher, an Inspector or Minister. 1 They know him to be a person of com- . mandng abilities, one of the very ablest lmen in any walk of life in Ontario. There is no more accomplished educa- tiouist in Canada. He is thoroughly ,traiued in all its arts. To his great abilities he has always been able to add an enthusiasm for his work which has never tired. As an expert educationth Mr. Ross unquestionably stands at the very front of the profession, not only in Ontario but in the Domini’n, not only in the Dominion but on the Continent. It would not be too much to say that he has extraordinary fitness for the l position he now fills, and if there is any man in Canada qualified to make a ~uccvss of the experiment they have tried in Ontario, whose people he on- iderstunds so well. M r. Ross is the man. If he cannot do it, no one else can. ,Wherc he fails no one else need try. There in something amusing. it is true, in such a man as Mr. Martin decrying the merits of M r. George W. Ross; a parallel to it might be found in White o
