All sorts of objections to the bill were raised‘by its opponents; but they: were one by one disposed ot'. - The premier in his speech Suldkâ€"J‘ One very great advantage of' having this plebiscite at the earliest possible moment is this: _ If it should be decided in the meantime, as 'I hope it .Iwill be decided, where the jurisdiction is, it is important that at the . earliest possible moment the information that the vote will afford us should be had,” and we think that the majority of' the people as well as of' the M. P. P.’s will agree with him. The Globe's plebiscite gup to date shows very nearly nine votes in favor of prohibition for one against it, andLâ€"although the great majority of, (the voters are probably Refer-mere, 'and ]- prohibition is much more popular with them than with Toriesâ€"the disparity is so great as to encourage the opponents 'of the liquor traffic to look hopefully forward to the provincial. plebiscite on the 1st ol January next. ‘ f - ' . ‘ Green Goods.” A green goods syndicatethat has been doing business on a grand scale at Hart- ford, Connecticut,- came to grief on Thursday of‘ last week, through the ac- .cidcntal breaking of. ailarge bozwhich was being unloaded, from a steamer at Bridgeport, and which was found to con- tain the complete outfit of an extensive green goods establishment. The man to whom the box was addressed, and who said he was the agent of, Simpson &.Rced of New York, was arrested and bound over to appear at the Superior Court, and it is probable that other ar- rests will follow. Amongst the articles seized were 8,000 envelopes addressed to different persons, each containing three circulars; but the most interesting ofthe contents of the box was a com- plete list of the victims who have been ‘swindled by the gang since the first ,day of April. During this period of' but little over ten weeks 110 personsâ€"eight of whom live in Ontario and sixteen in Quebccrâ€"havc been fleeced out of $40,- 185; one-of the dupes havinglost $914, one $650, three $500: each, and the Makers sums ranging from $90 to iii-£00. No one who knows that “green goods” is a cant name for bogus money will pity the victims of their own dishonesty- and stupidity, who have only been pun? ished as they deserve, The syndicate has been doing business for filtecn years and must have made millions of' dollars, unless the last two months’ receipts were a great deal above the average. Officer Anthony Comstocksays the seizure made ’on Thursday wasthe most important of the kind that ever came under his notice, and it is to be hoped that it will lead to the arrest and punishment of every mem- ber of the swindlin-g gang. ' Sudden Death On the:- morning of? Wednesday last, the Queen'sbirthday, James Lamb, an old and well-known resident of. the town- ship of Verulam, died suddenly of heart ' ‘ disease, from which he had‘bcen surfer- ing for some four or five years. He knew, of' course, that any consider-able physical exertion was dangerous, and did less work than he would have done. had he been in perfect health ; but for a.m,an of his energetic and industrious dispositionto stand idle while others were busy was almost.- impossible, notâ€". withstanding the risk of disobeying the doctor's orders. On Tucsday.morning Mr. Lamb'cut a small quantity of wood, and in the evening pulled a feel out of some mire in which it had got stuck.- and in which it wouldxquickly have perishedifi, he. had not discovm'cd it. He felt-the ill'effe‘cts of thus exerting himself, but they were dissi; ated by the night's rest, and next morning he did not complain of feeling unwella About. _ 9 o’clock he left the house to go to the barn, but had only gone part of the way. when he suddenly fell forward upon his face. The only person who saw him fall was .one of the younger- children, who immediately _. gave the alarm; and "in. less than a. minute other members of the ~l‘amily were on...thc spot and had raised him,up, but he died in their arms. after gasping 'once orâ€" twice. Deceased was one of' four. brothers who many years ago purchased farms. adjoining each other in Vcrulam and formed what has since been known as “Lamb’s set- tlement.” They were the kind .of' men to succeed andsuccceded accordingly, James having 400 acres-cf land (on which there is possibly some encum- brance) good buildings,.a large quantity oi,,li,ve .stock ,_ and implements, and, in addition, a life insurance;_ policy for $2,250. He leaves a widow and twelve- children, of whom one son is in the north-west and one daughter is married and lives close to her old ,home. Do:- eeased was 52 years old on the ~10Ll) of last month ; and but for. the affection of the heart, which is believed to have been brought .on by heavy lifting. he would probably have lived to a good old age. , ' REFORM» Manamaâ€"A. meeting » of the reform association of" the electoral. district of‘ North Victoria. will be held in Dickson’s hall, Fenclon.
