Toronto, May 17â€"An order made by Mr. Justice Middleton at Osgoode Hall toâ€"day extends to October 10 the date for the sale of the Mattagâ€" amit Pulp and Paper Co. properties which was to have taken place on May 29. In the meantime if G. T. Clarkson, receiver under the first bond mortgage. is able to make finanâ€" cial arrangements these bond holders will receive one year‘s interest. The bonds amount to $1,700,000 and with interest added the amount due is $2,â€" 400,000. To permit the receiver to carry the properties till the adjournâ€" ed date of sale the sum of three quarâ€" ters of a million dollars will have to be raised. . The applicants asked that the sale should be postponed till it was determined whether certain trust deeds were binding on the company, and if so what properties were covered by these deeds. This week sees another incident in the Mattagami Pulp Co. matter. Some time ago a sale of the assets of the â€"company was advertised, but objection was taken on the part of some of the unsecured creditors. The question was taken to the courts and this week notice was given that the date of the proposed sale had been extended to October 10th. In the meantime it will be determined wheâ€" ther certain trust deeds are binding. The following despatch from Toronto on Monday outlines the new incident in the Mattagami case:â€"â€" As a result of a motor collision Sunday evening last, Miss E. Groux is in the hospital with a badly cut face, and E. Spadafore, was arrested on a charge of not returning to the scene of the aceident. The Tisdale police acted with their usual good judgment and effliciency in the matâ€" ter and had the driver of the car unâ€" der arrest a short time after the acâ€" (fide}lt. E The young lady was in a car that was passing another automobile on the side of the road for repairs. The car said to be driven by Sapafore apparently came from behird the standing car and crashed into the other motor. _ Miss Giroux was thrown through the windshield, her face being badly cut. Several stitches were required to close the cuts inflicted. The driver of the colâ€" liding car did not wait or return to the scene of the accident. He was picked up later in the evening. Miss (GHiroux was given prompt medical atâ€" tention, and was this week removed to the hospital here, MATTAGAME GO.

HON. WILLIAM E. PERDUE / Commander Graves, R.D., RN.R., reépresenting the Navy League of Caâ€" nada, is to visit Timmins during the next few days on the annual work of securing subscriptions to earry on the good work of‘the Navy League. The Navy League is the only organization looking after the sailors of the merâ€" chant marine and their dependents. It is well worthy of the heartiest supâ€" port and all should give Commander Graves hearty welceome and good reâ€" sponse to his appeal.us_ One of the most enjoyable little parties of the season was that given on May l6th iby Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Banning, 288 Spruce street south. It took the form of a card party, five hundred and bridge being the popular games among the elders. As it was the birthday of their daughter, Mary, the juveniles also enjoyed themselves at several games, the principal one being that old and wellâ€"known game of *‘*‘Doubt,"‘ in which little Miss Marjorie Carriere was the winner of the lady‘s prize and Mr. E. Wilson of the gentleman‘s. At the keen and interesting games of five hundred and bridge the champwn players were Mr. and Mrs. J, Newton. After a dainty lunch, at which everyone performed with equal skill, the gay party deâ€" parted to their respective firesides. Evidence was also given by Mr. J. Weston, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Winaâ€" laine, Alex Borland, Jr., Constable E. Moore, Emile Anderson and Miss Ida PLEASANT PARTY AT HOME OF MR. AND MRS. BANNING A copy of the evidence at the post mortem in Toronto was read by the coroner. The evidence went to show that gas gangrene had developed, making inmediate amputation necesâ€" sary. â€" Mrs. Vainio died after the operation. Death was due to shock, loss of blood and exhaustion. oMALL HOUSE DESTROVED § §BY FIRE LAST NIGRT Last night fire destroyed the small house owned and occeupied by Mr. Boudreau and family at 118 Commerâ€" cial avenue. Alarms were turned in from two boxes and also by phone. The brigade made wonderful time in responding, when the very bad condiâ€" tion of some of the roads en route is considered. Many who saw the run of the truck are still wondering how they made it without a spill or acciâ€" dent. Despite the prompt response, the fire had such headway that pracâ€" tically nothing could be done to save the building. ‘The loss will be about $1000.00, house and contents being a total loss. One line of 1050 feet of hose was laid. The ceause of the fire is unknown. The family were all aâ€" way to church when the fire occurred. Post Mortem Held at Toronto. Death Followed Operâ€" ation for Amputation of Foot. Gas Gangrene Made Immediate Operation Necessary, Doctors say. _ Witâ€" nesses of Accident Here Give Evidence at Inquest Held Last Night.

Potter, Matheson, third viceâ€"presiâ€" dent; G. OQ‘Meara, Kirkland Lake, fourth viceâ€"president. Mr. Gauthier was nominated by Mr. Fred Kenning, who pointed out that Timmins had never had the honour of having a disâ€" trict president, and Mr.‘Gauthier had been selected by a meeting of the Timmins Conservatives for the place. Mr. Kenning thought that in view of the vote in Timmins the honour should be allowed here this year, 06â€" pecially as that had been promised last year. Mr. Bastien seconded the nomination. Mr. Kingston was noâ€" minated by Mr. R. Potter, who reâ€" ferred to the interest and enthusiasm given by Mr. Kingston to the party. The vote resulted:â€" Kingston, 73; Gauthier 33. There wereâ€"about 100 members of the Association present. About 30 went down from Timmins. Careful review of all the byâ€"laws of the Association was made. At the postponed annual meeting of the District Conservative Associaâ€" tion yesterday at Matheson, Mr. Jas. Kingston, of Iroquois Falls, was again elected president of the District "Asâ€" sociation. His past term of office has given general satisfaction and he has shown himself fair, courteous and considerate to all, his qualifications no doubt resulting in his reâ€"election for the new riding association. Mr. F. K. Ebbitt was reâ€"elected Secreâ€" tary. _ The viceâ€"presidents elected were:â€"Frank Evans, South Poreuâ€" pine, first viceâ€"president; G, H. Gauâ€" thier, Timmins, second viceâ€"president ; Boudreau. The evidence went to show that the car had suddenly rushâ€" ed Atp on the sidewalk, striking Mr. and Mrs. Vainio and pinning them avainst the cement wall. _ Constable Moore said that one of the wheels of the car was smashed, the rim being off. Enos Hardile said he tried the brake and it was not on. The witâ€" nesses agreed that they did not hear any horn blown. Miss Ida Boudreau, who was in the car with Jeckel at the time of the accident, said that on the way from South Poreupine, Mr. Jeckâ€" el had complained that the steering zear and brake were not working well. She thought the car was travelling aâ€" bout 20 miles an hour. The accident had happened so suddenly and unexâ€" pectedly that she really did not know how it occurred. _ Emile Anderson gave a vivid descnptlon of the speed of the car, but otherwise his evidence did not shed light on the accéident. The jury wished information as to where the car went after the accident, and Mr. Jeckel volunteered the stateâ€" ment that he had seen it at about 8.30 in the yard of the Northland Motor Sales Co. The garage man who had moved it was later located and gave evidence. He had not examined the car, but simply moved it to the Northâ€" land Motor Sales Co,. on the request of Eric Bredenberg. It was also learned at the inquest that the police had not examined the car after the accident. Dr. Porter, recalled, explained that gas gangrene develops very rapidly, and it was for this reason that it was desired by the doctors here that the lady be left at the hospital here where she could get speedy treatment in case of infection.â€" There was no innoculaâ€" tion to prevent gas gangrene, but serum had been used to guard against tetanus and other infections. He beâ€" lieved that Mrs. Vainio would have had a much better chanee here. _ It was on the persistent request. by her friends that she was taken to Toronto. MR. J. KINGGTON AGAIN PRESIDENT OF DISTRIGT Conservative Association at Meeting Yesterday Again Honours Iroâ€" quois Falls Man. The entire proceeds are to go to assisting in providing special tuition in Toronto for the gifted young vioâ€" linist Jack Neilson. The noted Hart House String Quartet heard this lad play when they were in Timmins, and they expressed the opinion that he had rare musical talent, but needed special tuition from experts to test out his capabilities.
