Frontenac Group. Ww.

Jordan, deputy fire mar- shal of Ontario, who is in the city with G. F. Baker, looking into the two big recent fires. These fuse plugs are of ten am- peres, and are made so as a safe'y device to prevent a heavier current running over 'he system. Some per- SOR conceived the idea of replacing the lead wires in the fuses with cop- per wire, with the objeét of preven:- ing blow-outs and at the same time permitting a stronger current to pass through. "This is a very dangerous thing to do," sald Mr. Jordan, and the public ought to be warned against tamper ing with thess fuse plugs which are made tor the purpose of preventing anything going wrong. I cannot say | that this was the cause of the fire, but the current was turned on for the purpose of charging new bat- | tetics and had been going for many hours with no person in charge." Mr. Jordan is making his report to the goverhimént and would not Wake any statement for piblicatish respecting the origin of the fife.

In commenting on the Dalton's new boat Chiriya II. at Prinyer's Cove regatta, the Toronto Globe says: The Kingston boat, George Ow- ens' latest racing effort, looks about as ugly as they make them. She is short on the water, has no over- hang, a chopped off counter, sides, etc. On the other hand her | displacement is less than the others, | and she carries more sail. She has| two rudders, her gear is very Nght, her pole mast is very high, and in light weather and in proper condi- tion she will be very fast but her type never will produce the sound, safe boats such as in the "R" boats, Vivia, Swamba and Scrapper. The next few days will show, but the op- inion of those competent to Judge is that, no matter how fast she may Prove to be, hers is not the type to be encouraged on Lake Ontario. G.I.

G.T.R. laborers went on strike Wednesday, and a party of fifteen walked into the city to lodge a pro- test against the treatment given to them. It is said that the trouble arose over the food supplied to them. They were engaged at Sherbrooke, Que., and brought to Ontario on the promise of twenty-five cents an hour, $4.50 to be deducted each weel for board. They were charged $6.25 for board and they were fed on boil- ed beans three times a day. There were twenty-five in all, and a deputation of ten waited on thé local employment agent and Mayor Corbett. . The mayor called up the divisional manager, Mr. McMillan, at Brockville, and told. him that these men were not to be left a charge upon the city of Kingston, and stated that if the company was not going to carry out iis agreement, it had to transport the men back to Sherbrooke.
