Several times during the week-end ice lodg- ed under one or other of the 22 bridges over the creek and caused the water to back up and, in some cases, to flow over the bridges until the obstacle could he removed. Most of the ice has now gone down and the danger of flood has heen averted unless further floes from the head waters should cayse trou- ble. DEATH OF F. ANGROVE Henry F. Apgrove, who died in Wellesley Hospital, Toronto, on Sunday night, was Kingston's pi- oneer automobile dealer.

Early in life he entered the Canadian Locomotive Company as a machinist, and then went into the bicycle business. With the advent of the motor car, Mr. Angrove blaz- ed the way for Kingston, selling the first Ford cars in this city.

BRITISH MUSIC LEADS One of the interesting features of the Peterborough Male Voice Choir concert program is that British composers (1750-1850) have been remembered. This year being the. fiftieth anniversary of the death of Dr. Thomas Auguss tine Arne, the composer of the fa- mous patriotic song, "Rule, Bri- tannia," this song, which will continue to be heard as long as the love of country animates the breasts of Britishers, is their op- ening number. Dr. Arne was the first to introduce female voices in oratorio choirs. He is chiefly known in these days for his set- ting of Shakespeare's songs and his charming ballads. ATLANTIC PHONE SERVICE SOON That in a very short time tele- phone subscribers in Peterhor- ough would be able to take down the receivers of their telephones and talk to friends in the Old Country was the interesting an- nouncement made by W, C.

D. Mor- rison, on "The Religious Exercises of the Early Presbyterian Settlers of Cape Breton." One of the most interesting passages of the paper was the description of the annual "'openair communion" of 1872 when thousands of ardent devotees sat five hours in a downpour of rain to hear the words of their minister and partake of commun- ion. In those days in Cape Bre- ton the "family altar" was a part of every home and "the weird, wild music of the psalm" arose from every cottage. Sabbath was the big day of the week. On that day no cooking was done, even the water was brought in the day before. The whole day was spent in religious exercises. The church often lay twenty-five or thirty miles away, but, from eight in the morning un- til eleven o'clock they traveled the roads always reckoning on reach- ing the church half an hour before the service. The religious devotion of these hardy pioneers reached its climax each year during the five days' services when the "Sacrament" was given, Because there was no church edifice large enough to hold the crowds who thronged from a radius of seventy-five miles to these services, they were held in an open air amphitheatre. The meetings always began on Thurs- day and ended on Monday. Thursday was the 'fast' day; no food was taken until the even- ing. Friday was "Question Day." A passage was read out from Scrip- ture, of which no one knew he- forehand, and one by one those present rose to expound it, This was a testing experience and showed how well or how ill the questionees had studied the sacred writings. Saturday was the day of examination for candidates for admission to church membership. If the candidate successfully sur- vived the ordeal, he or she was given the "token," which was passed on to the elder, when he or she sat down to the "table" next day. Sunday was the culmination of the whole. brook not far away, on the sloping hillside, the green grass covered by an immense multitude. A writer who witnessed the an- nual ceremony of the sacrament in 1872, quoted by Dr. Morrison, described the scene in part as fol- lows: "The Sabbath was the great day of the feast. On this day the in- terest and solemmity culminated But alas the weather had changed and become unpropitious in the last degree. On Saturday, the sky began to assume an ominous appearance and by nightfall a "downpour" set in. Morning dawn- ed, but with it came no abate. ment of the storm and everything betokened a day of rain. "To reach the place I had to cross the public highway. Far as the eye could reach were vehicles of every description. Beyond the billow-shaped graveyard and up into a retired glen, I found myself at the outskirts of a mass of peo- ple hanging on the lips of the speaker. The ministers, being in a tent constructed like a large sen- try-box alone were protected from the weather. Before them . ex- tended a row of supported planks improvisioned into a communion table. On the slopes rising around in the shape of an amphitheatre, at least 1,000 persons, from the grandsire of eighty winters to the youth of twelve summers. Men in their prime and girls in their teens; here a line of aged women, cye glassy with the tear of emo- tion; there a clump of old men with head bare of bonnet or pro- tecting locks, leaning each on his staff and devouring the preached word. "For five hours and twenty min- utes that multitude sat upon the soaking sward as if glued to it. During the first two hours of that time, the rain came down finces- santly. Comparatively few had umbrellas to raise and every male had his head uncovered." MURDER IS VERDICT AT OTTAWA INQUEST Ottawa, March 26.--Albert Bru- nt, 32 Daly avenue. who was found Iring unconscious on the sidewalk mear his home on the night of March 17, and died March 20 in the Civic Hospital, was mur- dered by being struck on the head, | according to the verdict of a Cor- oner's jury here tomight. Medical evidence showed three fractures of the skull, one of which could not have been caused by a fall, as had first been thought. It must have been the result of a blow from a sharp instrument, de- clared Dr. T. R. Little, who per- 4 | formed the autopsy.

London, March 25. -- With the wer! national peasan party, caded by Dr. Juliu Manin, staging a dramatic walk-out from Parliament in order to organize a nation-wide drive against the Government, coin- iding with Premier Vintilla Bratia- n negotiations with the Ame- rican Blar group, dynastic, political, and ecenomic strands in the life of Rumania seem woven into a tangle which an oft-predicted and as often post-dated revolution may be cal on to cut. The ultimate decision as to whether the show-down to be staged between the opposition lead- er, behind whom stands the roman- tic figure the exiled former Crown Prince Carol, and the Premier, whose control of the Regency Council, which is ruling in the name of the boy King Michael, makes him vir- tual dictator of the leading Balkan kingdom, may in practice rest in the hands of American findnciers. Unless the Bratianu dictatorship is able to secure foreign credits, it has little chance of surviving much long- er, in the opinion of competent ob- servers of the Rumanian situation. On the other hand, a loan is regarded as unobtainable unless the Rumanian Premier is prepared to reverse the whole policy on which his ascendan- cy to date has been based. Armed Clash Possible Tt is at the moment when Bratianu is impaled on the horns of this dil- cigma that his leading opponent, Ma- nih, seizing what seems the psychol- ogical moment, has served an ulti- matum on the Regency Council that unless the present government is dis- missed from power the Peasant par- ty henceforth will boycott Parlia- ment and adopt a policy of extra- constitutional action which, sooner or later, is bound to result in an armed clash between the Government and the Opposition. So long as the late King Ferdin- and, husband of Queen Marie, was alive, the Bratianu family, which has long held the reins of power in Ru- mania, was able to overawe its op- ponents, but the death of JTonel Bra- tianu, closely following that of the King, has left his brother Vintilla facing a critical position. A large sec- tion of the army which gave undivid- ed loyalty to King Ferdinand is be- lieved to favor the return of the dis- inherited Crown Prince Carol in pre- ference to a long drawn out regency, and the combination of the military malcontents with the peasants may prove strong enough to oust Brati- anu. nu's Economic Crisis The demonstration of 50,000 dele- gates of the National Peasant party staged in the streets of Bulcharest after the regency council had rejected Maniu's demand for the formation of a new government shows that the dis- content of the peasants is nearing the flash point in the explosion, which Bratianu seems to have no hope of The rude tables spread ; in the open air, with the runnidg' i averting, unless he is able to raise foreign credits, By a rigid policy of d | railroads or agricultw -- A ------------------------ RUMANIA IS FACING REVOLT OF PEASANTS TO RESTORE national retrenchment, the Premier, who was Finance Minister before succeeding his brother, has balanced the national budget and settled a greater part of Rumania's foreign liabilities, and stabilized currency, but these results were achieved at a terrible price. Trade has been throt tled, due partly to the heavy import and export taxes, to lack of capital, partly to lack of transport facilities. There is no money for : credits, pub lic servants are forced to them selves from the nation's pockets by accepting bribes, while foreign capi tal, which might have eased the situ- ation, has been warned off by the conditions imposed, for its invest- ment. As a result the country is passing through a severe economic crisis, ag- gravated by the failure of last year's grain harvest, which was its first eco- nomic asset. Prices are extremely high, internal trade is stagnant, and credit is almost unobtainable. Farmers Desperate The small farmers who make up the 'great majority of the country's popu- lation are required to pay as much as 50 per cent, or more against an ad- vance of crops or stock. These con- ditions have finally driven Bratianu to seek aid from foreign financiers 1 | Brick Maple Bark, Rug, Pressed, Stock, Sand and Lime, Concrete Units, Hollow Tile "W. J. TRICK CO.
