Frederick Ingledew, the guard &- gninst whom Rose made charges of neglect of duty, declared at the time the charges were made that they were untrue, and fought "his case, unaided by counsel, before the com- mission. In view of the confession made by Rose, (hy Ingledew now regards the charges "against him ax being withdrawn. There is an old saying, "It is an ill wind that blows no person good" and it can be applied to the case of two convicts who were serving time in the penitentiary, as they have both been allowed out on parole. as a recult of the investigation. In both cases the conviots given their liberty are young men, one heing a 'mere boy, who was given a five-year term for stealing goods to the value of but a few dollars. This lad, it was shown, had served time on the much talked about stone pile, where he had ban compelled to mingle' with a great many. hardened oriminals, Of the vast amount of evidence concerning prison management great stress has placed on the rules forbidding. the use of tobacco by the convicts, and more than one con- viet has declared that the moderate use of tohacd would have a ten- dency, . towards making the men bet- ter behaved, and while the com- mission has made no announcement it is believed that the are indsVor of allowing the "stickers" to have a limited amount of this luxury.

The Scotch pip2 was bought while the late J. ; Thompson was mayor, and has proven. unsatisfactory, as it is not tough' enough to stan® sudden strafnf. In the past twenty years, thirteen breaks have occurred he- tween the pump house aud the water tower. Mr. Hewitt thinks that the break of Tueaday evening was prob- ably caused by a ram of water. Men worked all night to repair the break. It was tough work chopping down through the blocks and con- crete. The pipe, of twelve feet in length, was found ripped from end to end. It was replaced, and the water was again turned on about noon Wednesday. As sevéral blocks were deprived of water, the Utilities manager sent out watering carts to supply from door to door. - i; MUNICIPAL NOMINATIONS Township of Hinchinbrook For reeve--C; G. McKnight, C.
