The chimney blaze was out when a small fire was noticed on the roof of the house. A pail of water would have quenched the fire with ease but there was no ladder available and the blaze quickly spread. The greater part of the furniture was removed from the building, but the house was burned to the ground. The property is owned by Oscar Burch of St. Cath- arines, member of the Lake street Fire Brigade. He had insurance on the house of $3,000. The fire fiend again' visited the farm of John Paine at St. Ann's Thursday noon, destroying the double brick house and causing damage esti- mated at $4,500. Two weeksrago Mr. Paine lost his barn with most of his. 'Pitts-ist/Fifi-ri/is' being said'triiavg' caused the fire on that occasion. HOUSE BURNED AT ST. ANNS Mr. Young and Mr. Magill came to Grimsby Tuesday afternoon to look over the building and plan some changes.

According to law two weeks' time wil have to elapse before the council can give the by-law its third reading. In the meantime the Company will make preparations to have their bonds placed on the market, get their title to the property completed and make arrangements to have some changes made in the buildings. r, FOR. . . .

It might have been that Rushford still thought they were continuing this schedule, he did not know. There were not any set rules for employees Working on the tracks; the men used their own judgment in getting out of danger.

Rushford was bending over: his work, bonding the rails. He: whistled at once, whistled again and) kept on whistling, but Rushford seemed to be frozen to the ground. He was still blowing the warning when he struck him. The train. was going about thirty-five miles an; hour. He stopped f in nine car; lengths, which he cozfsidered a good} stop. I That James H. Rushford came to his death by being struck by a train and that more adequate protection should be afforded railway employees was the verdict of the coroner's jury Monday afternoon when ' witnesses had been examined by Crown At- torney Lancaster and Coroner Dr. Elmore in the cause of the death of Rushford,'who was struck by a fast train near Grimsby East crossing on the morning of March 31. Deceased was a resident of Hamilton and a signal electrician. GIVE MEN MORE ( PROTECTION _:;' Other men on the official list with Mr. Hunter are: John Cochrane, Rosemont, Pennsylvania: L. E.

T oo MUCH SPEED COST $50 SAVE MONEY-READ THE ADVS. New York city is providing a ready market just now for these fresh water fish, which bring as much as 40 cents per pound. The demand for Ontario fish across the border, it is reported, cannot be supplied. Mr. Hand states that Whitefish are running better off Winona shore now than for some years back, and that his catches total between three and four hundred pounds daily. A con- siderably large try, placed in the lake off the Fifty point a few years ago, it is claimed, is somewhat responsible for this productive condition. ' Ten fries, amounting to several l million young Whitefish, were received from the government hatcheries on Saturday by Abe Hand, Winona's well known fisherman, and emptied into the lake directly off Winona station road. This, it is learned, was the out- come of an article appearing in this paper about a month ago, when it was mentioned that Winona had been over: looked when fries had been placed at Grimsby, Hamilton Beach and Bronte. The article attracted the attention of T. J. Mahony, M.L.A., who got in touch immediately with the depart- ment of fisheries, and the receipt of the young fish was the result of his efforts. It is said that young white- fish develop at the rate of about one pound per year, and, in that case, they will be matured sufficiently in three or tour years.

I want-. ed to get the bag off him, that is what started the struggle. He tried to prevent me from getting the bag.

Mr. Washington objected on the grounds that Morgan had to be ap- pointed an O.T.A. officer by council by-law and that he believed said by- law had never been ratified by the Attorney General. _ S. F. Washington, K.C., contended that Morgan had exceeded his lawful _ duties as a constable, that he had no right to stop a private citizen going; about his duty and inquire into the contents of his bag or parcel., It served municipalities right, when they secured inexperienced con- stables, they generally made more trouble for the salary they received than any good they did the municipal- ity. When Morgan had Cope down in the fire hall, the latter would have Been justified had he had a revolver in shooting the constable when the latter was using the brick on him, said Mr. Washington. Magistrate Campbell was of the opinion that Morgan had a right to stop Cope and request him to show what he was carrying it he suspected it was not what it should have been. W. R. Seymour, for Morgan, tried to point.out that the defendant had a perfectly legal right under. the O.T.A. to halt Cope and examine the contents of the bag he was carrying on the evening of February 26, and that Cope resisted Morgan when he Was trying to secure the bag and ultimately this led to a scuffle and then a tight, in which Morgan struck Cope a couple of times on the head with a brick in order to subdue him long enough to place him in the cells. The finish of the much-talked- about assault case; in which George Cope was the plaintiff against Wil-. liam Morgan, resulted in Police Magistrate Campbell Friday afternoon reserving his decision.
