An- derson, the bigamous Brockville school inspector and local preach- er sent to the penitentiary to serve a.seven-year term, died in the hos pital of the institution. In April last he married the daughter of a Renfrew clergyman, furnished a fine house in Brockville, where he was school inspector, through forgâ€" ed certificates, and in May his big- amous act was exposed through his real wife’s family in Toronto. He was arrested at the Renfrew home of wife No. 2. After a week in jail he admitted his crime, and was MAIL BAGS RIFLED. Evidence of an Extensive Robbery ‘ Near Montreal.

The disgrace broke him down, and a malignant sore throat soon put» him into, the hospital, where he failed, till death released him on Wednesday. He was 52 years of age, though at the time of his second marriage he said he was but 39. After his sentence, Queen’s University made enquiries, and learned that he claimed to be a graduate and specialist of the college. It was found that he had forged the necessary documents to make the showing. ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN The C. P. R. Switch at Junction ‘ Tampered With.

Two mail bags, ripped and cut across, were found by pickets lying on the ground near the C. P. R. tracks, a little west of Montreal west.» With them were a number of opened letâ€" ters, and tornpapers, among which were found cheques to the value of close upon $7,000. The strikers immediately reported their find to headquarters, where it was decid- ed .to consult Mr. L. J. Gaboury, sassmtant postmaster, ‘and the cheques, torn bags and fragments of letters were taken to the post- oflice. The search for the money appears to have been done on the spot where the bags were found, and at night, as wreckage was left littered around in 'a way-that would have been very liable to attract at- tention in daylight before the thieves got very far off. It is at pre- sent impossible to tell whether the robbers got away with any large sum in cash or negotiable securi- ties. The bags were not registered. ‘ r24â€"..___._ BANK ROBBERY IN QUEBEC.

A freight came in at a good rate of speed with signals for a clear line, and it was suddenly turned into the siding.

'A despatch from McAlester, Okla, says: More than thirty min- ers were suffocated on Wednesday morning in Hailey, Okla., coal mine No. 1, near Haileyville, four- teen miles east of McAlester, when fire destroyed the hoisting shaft and air shaft and cut off air from . the men below. Twentyâ€"five mules were suffocated and some of their bodies were burned. Explorations in the channels on Wednesday afternoon -.revealed that none of the men met death by burning, but that all were suffo- cated. - After the miners had gone down in the cage a fire broke out, occa- sioned by the ignition of a barrel lo the moisting shaft and the air- shaft, and all communication with the top was cut off. The first indi- cation the people at the surface had of the trouble was the flames and smoke coming out of the top of the shaft. Hundreds of miners rushed to the scene and tried to get into the air shaft, but this was impossible as flames and smoke were coming up that way with such force as to drive them back. Then an effort was made to operate the cages running, up and down the hoisting shaft, butE it was found that the cages. the! cables and the guides had been} burned. There was absolutely no help for the imprisoned miners. CANADA AHEAD i or BRITAIN. Member of Scottish; Commission ~Praises Guelph College.

A despatch from Winnipeg says: The Northwest Grain Dealers’ As- sociation has issued a revised esti- mate of the production of the Cana- dian west this season as a result of the tour taken by the members two weeks ago. It places the wheat acreage at 6,055,600, and the aver- age yield at 17.7 bushels, giving a total production of 107,184,000 bush- els. . ' The acreage of oats is placed at 2,607,000, and the average yield at 36.5 bushels, giving a total pro- duction of 95,155,500 bushels. The acreage of barley is placed at 855,650, and the average yield at 29.1 bushels, giving a total pro- duction of 24,899,415 bushels. The acreage of flax is placed at 123,420, and the average yield at 11.5 bushels, giving a total produc- tion of 1,424,330 bushels. The association also estimates that 150,000 bushels of wheat and 100,000 bushels of old oats are still in the farmers’ hands. The statement adds that about '75 per cent. of the wheat cutting will be completed by the end of the pre- sent week. 7 The previous estimate of the wheat acreage, made June 1, is re- garded as too small, and an in crease of 5 per cent. has been made. There has been some frost damages .‘n several districts, the extent of which it is impossible to tell until the harvesting is completed, but it is not thought that there has been any considerable amount of dam- age. - ,.
