J. Brown, in- the face. The proprietor of the hotel thereupon interfered and put Travers out of the house. How Brown (escaped out of. the house without being seen is not known, but the next that was seen of him was on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. Both men had clinched and were ghting vigorously. After struggling awhile, both fell over the sidewalk edge, and, while they were in that position Trav- ers cau ht Browniby the nose with his teeth. efore leav' go, he hit clean out one nostril, and then sstened on to one of Brown's n ers, which he chewed. The big crowd, w ich had gathered by this time, parted the combatants, and the injured man was taken to Dr. Ross surgery, where his wounds were dressed. After that the Chief of Police was notied of the affair-, but Travers had apparently escaped. However, Government Detective Joseph Rogers, jr., was in town for Christmas at his father's, and consequently he `heard of the brutal af- fair. He quietly went to work, and about eleven o'clock on Christmas forenoon he got _ sure scent of the man wanted. He went to a room in - the Royal hotel, and demanded admittance. s This was refused, and the de- | tective promptly burst the door in. Travers was inside the room, and Detective Rogers at once took him. into custody, on a charge of felonious wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm to W. J. Brown. On ; this charge Travers was tried at the police ` court on Friday by -Ma istrates Laird and Bird, and was committe for trial.

Some correspondence, too, had- ' taken place be- tween the company and Barrie gentlemen, we meet- - and the resultwas that the company would extendtheir line to Barrie from Newmarket and Toronto if twenty subscribers could be ot in Barrie. A telephone would cost $35 _or an oice and $30 for a private residence per annum, and the company will put up the line and keep the instruments, [etc., in working order for that sum. ~ Besides this there would be a charge to subscribers ` of 15 cents for 15 miles, 25 cents for 60 miles, 50 cents for 150 miles," and over that distance a cent a word for messages repeat- ed through central oices for outside , of town communication. ` In each case, except the last, the charge entitled the subscriber to five minutes conversation with Toronto, or elsewhere, as the case might be. The company could not guarantee a. satisfactory talk with London or Port Hope, or any place more than 120 miles away ; but to meet the requirements of subscribers charge a cent a word and repeated mes- sages ,tl_1rougl1~ central, offices on the `route, this ensuring accuracy. There ` should be no trouble here in estab- lishing the telephone. as Petrolia, a town much smaller, had 50 subscribers. It was also `contemplated to take in Orillia, and by a slight deflection Bradford and Alliston might be touched. The company furnished every subscriber with a separate wire in town, and the company put in a free tele- phone for the benefit of subscribers at the railway station.

Generally speak- ing-, I am in favor of abolishing exemp- -tions, but I have hardly made up my mind yet -how far to_go. It seems to me ` that there is some injustice in making a meehanic whose income is only $400 a year pay income tax, but of course if all exemptionswere abolished he would have todo it. This is the only thing that ap- paalsto me as an argument against the total abolishment of tax exemptions. ` u------{n-up---.----- Exemptions in Hamilton.

The train hands, with one ex- ception, soon saw each other ranged along the track at the intervals they_ had succeed,-. ed in jnm `ng the train. The exception was an ol Irishman named Pat. .
