Hearing Evidence as to Army Service Torps Shortages. The enquiry into the local Army Service Corps rtages in connegtion with the Cobourg camp supplies, last June, began at the armouries this morning. The board "of enquiry con sisted of Lieut.-Col, Williams, {chair man), Capt. Reid and Lieut. Dean. The reason of the investigation is this: At the Cobourg camp certain supplies were given the Army Service Corps of which Capt. Waugh was acting com- mander, aio White being attached to the staf. The books show the amount of supplies served out to the camp, but some. of the balances can not be accounted for. Where did they go? That is the reason why Capt. Waugh, and Lieuts, Gillespie and Har- vey were summoned to give evidence. As the corps was without its com- manding officer, Major White, there may have been mistakes made. The board of enquiry jw trying to find this out. It is likely the: corps will he ve- organized in any event. rr-------------- Got Back His Money. Brockville Recorder, ome weeks ago John A. Webster, Gananoque, and well known here, was fined $10 by the Dominion government for enclosing a note in a parcel which they claimed he had mailed. As ex- plained at the time, Mr. Webster wish ed to send some factory blanks and a note to the cheesemaker at his fae- tory at Springfield. He handed it to Mr. Sherby, who drives the mail wag- gon between. Gananoque and Seeley's Bay. By some mistake it never turned up at the factory, but was afterwards found posted, haviag a two cent stamp on it, and as written' matter had 'been enclosed the government fined Mr. Webster $10. He appealed for a re- fund, claiming he had never mailed it or ordered it mailed. Now the money is refunded him, he having received it on Monday. The mystery still remains unsolved : "Who plaged the stamp on the parcel ? Dr. Macdonald Dead. The death occurred, in New York, on Friday, of Dr. A. E. Macdonald, for- merly of Quebee, but for many years head of the asylum on Ward's _Is- land, New York. He retired from this post last spring; and has since been living in New York. He was taken ill while attending the meeting of the British Modical Association in Toron- to, end had never recovered strength. Dr. Macdonald intended visiting his sister, the late Mrs. George Ferguson, and Rev. Prof. Ferguson, in Napanee, this summer, on his way home from Toronto, but his sudden illness pre- vented this.
