Friday, May 3rd, 1895’. Interesting. to Business Mom. At the trialhcre on the 18th of Feb- ruary of the suit between the Fenelon Falls Electric Light Co. and the Cor- poration, Mr. Henshaw, treasurer. of the Royal Electric Co. of Montreal, in the course of his evidence stated that Bradstrcct’s Commercial Agency some- times rated men at less than their true financial value; and it no doubt occurred to others, as it did- to us, that, if Mr. chshaw’s statement were true, the Agency would sooner or later get into trouble. It is now said that Mr. P. A. Larivierc, an owner of stone quar- ries at Montreal, has taken action for 825,000 against the Agency, alleging that it injured his credit with certain banks, and, if he can prove his allega. tion, there can be very little doubt ‘abcut his getting damages commen- surate with the injury sustained. The Agency is a useful institution, and the informatioa it gives saves many whole less persons; but its reporters in the various business centres are not only fallible, and, therefore, liable to make mistakes, but, like ordinary mortals, have their friendships and cnmitics, which in some cases influence the re- ports thcy send in. No one need be told the immense injury a false state- ment as to a business man's financial standing may inflict. upon him, and as Bradstrect’s Commercial Agency is no more privileged than a private person, it must take the consequences if its re- ports are not correct, no matter from how reliable a source it may believe them to have been obtained. Mr. Larivierc’s suit, if persisted in, will be watched with interest from one end of the Dominion to the other. Fire Protection. At the fire at Mr. Edwards’s, on the night of the 17th ult., it was indisputa‘ bly proved that Sandford SI. Walsh’s force pump afforded as good protection for a distance of 1,000 or 1,500 feet in every direction as any property owner or insurance company could ask for; and by the proceedings of the council published in last week’s Gazette it will be seen that steps are being taken to utilize the pump to the fullest extent. The village owns about 1,000 feet of hose, a few lengths of which are kept at Mr. Sandford’s, and the remainder is on the reels at the fire hall on the mar- ket square, but as the hall is a long way from Mr. Sandford's it is proposed to mOve it to, or build a new one upon, avacant piece of land close to the locks, owned by the Dominion Government. The force pump itself is practically new and in perfect order, but it needed to be more firmly bolted to the timbers below it and to be furnished with an arrangement by which the simple move ment of a lever would set it going. and all this has already been done by Mr. Thomas Robson. who is a good hand at all kinds of machinery and lllCCllillllC'll appliances. Exactly what the pump Could do if it humped itself nobldr appears to kumv, but there is very little doubt that it is quite able to throw two strwau‘s at once from inch nozzles upon a fire 1,000 f~ct distant, null with a sale houses from giving credit towcrth- ' owned by the village are, though hard to work, capable of doing good service, and if they were always kept in the highest possible state of efficiency, and â€"â€"as advocated in the Gazelle a few years agoâ€"carts to follow them with water were built and kept where they could be easily filled, Fenelon Falls, with its lakes and river and neverâ€"failing creeks, would be nearly or quite as well protected against fire as any village in the Dominion. Improbable Then, Impossible Now. Under the above heading the Toronto Telegram says 2â€"- “ The almost dictatorial terms of the Remedial Order made it extremely dif- ficult for Manitoba to grant anything to the minority without a sacrifice of its dignity as a free province. Com- promise was difficult before, and it is almost impossible now that Sir Macken- zie Bowell has supplemented the per- emptory language of the Remedial Order with his own words of menace to Manitoba. A province has to think of its own dignity, and the Ministers of a province must keep the respect of their constituents. Manitoba could not yield gracefully after the arbitrary Remedial Order placed a pistol at its head. And now Greeuway can only compromise if he is willing to stand before the country as a man who was bullied into submis- sion by Sir Mackenzie Bowell.” About Eggs. The following circular has been sent to us for publication, and We willingly make room for it in our columns, as it is not only of importance to merchants but to farmers also : Toronto, April 22nd, 1891'. Governors,â€" At the commencement of another egg season, permit us to again call your attention to the importance of handling your eggs promptlv, and not holding until they become stale. In this city last summer thousands of dozens of eggs were sent to the dump, and tens of thousands of dozens were. almost useless because they reachcd market too old. Our chief market now for eggs is Great Britain, and it requires care and skill to overcome the distance and land the eggs inâ€" good order; but all the care and skill is vain if the egg is not fresh when it reaches the packers. We. therefore ask you to impress on your farmers the importance of marketing their eggs promptly and regularly, while they are at their best; and we also beg of you to dispose of them promptly and regularly, and not to impair their value by waiting for larger shipments, or holding for a rise in price. The volume of this business is now large, and with the cooperation of producers, local dealers and exporters, itmay be in- definitely increased. We therefore ask you, in your own interest, as well as in the interest of the trade generally, to give this matter the care and attention its import.- aucc demands. Yours very truly, D. Guns, FLAVELLE ll: Co. Runaways. On Monday afternoon while Mrs. John Akistcr of Verulam, who had driven to the Falls in a light springr cart, was in front of Mr. W. ll. Walsh's carding mill, her horse took fright at a bundle of wool Mr. Walsh was about to hand to her, gave two or three buck jumps across the road, collided with the tele- graph pole at the corner of the stone mill, and then twisted to the left 50 suddenly that thc'ctrt tiltel sufficiently to throw Mrs. Akister out, but was not upset. Firtunately the lady Was not at all hurt. and the horse, who crossed l the canal bridge at a lively gait, appar- ently repented of what he had done, for he allowtnl himself to be stopped with- ‘ out any «lillizulty when he reached 'l‘womey’s hotel.

Hector gave a lecture- (his second in Fenelon Falls) on Wed- nesday evening in Dickson’s hall. all the seats of which \verc filled. The- lecture was given under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary of tho Presby- terian Church. and Rev. Mr. McKinnon,_ the pastor, officiated as chairman, and: made a. few appropriate remarks at the» opening and close of the address. The- lecture announced was entitled “My Personal Reminiscences of the War," but, for some reason, Mr. Hector said he preferred to give the one entitled, “ The Story of My Life,” and the latter was carried by the vote of the audience, who were given their choice. The change was not satisfactory to those who thought they would have preferred the first named, and as it was announced in the advertisements, we think it. ought; to have been given, though possibly it might not have proved as amusing as the one dclivcrcd,.which was full of" funny passages, and kept nearly all his. hearers laughing from beginning to end. it is more than probable that Mr. Hec- tor will be here again before long, and it issafc to predict that he will have on. full house when he comes. Personals. Mr. Harry Walters, mayor of Lind~ say, was at the Falls on Tuesday and‘: Wednesday last. Miss Susie Wilson of Lindsay was at, the Falls from Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday morning. Mr. Fred Cullon left on Tuesday for- remaining all summon. Mr. John Short of Lindsay, License Inspector for East Victoria, was at Bobcaygeou and the Falls on Monday last. is at the Falls visiting Mr. Joseph. Heard, her second cousin, and will. probably stay for several weeks. Rev. Mr. Glover, pastor of the Bible- Christian congregation in Fcnelon Falls about twelve years ago, was here two or‘ three days last week. If we are cor- rectly informed, he has been a goo-l while out of the regular ministry, and is doing well as agent for the Sale ol.‘ musical instruments. M r. Wm. Pym, conductor on the train. that. runs between Lindsay and lIali~ burton, resumed his position after an, absence of thrcc months occasioned by a serious illness. llis many friends are glad to see him on duty again, and hope that. he will soon be restored to. his full health and strength.
