The meetings have been most helpfub and the exangelist, Mr, Whitesides, has delivered some splen- did sermons and is very earnest and makes the meetings impressive. Sun- day morning the Sunday school ses- sion was held at 10 o'clock with a good attendance. At 11, the preach ing service began, when Mr, White- sides gave a most interesting address to the children on sin. Telling the story of Adam and Eve in the garden eating the forbidden fruit and illus- trating with poison drugs irom the drug store. The attention was held throughout the service, showing that the impression on the children was one not soon to be forgotten. In the afternoon the meeting was held in the tent and although the attendance was small, Mr. Whitesides preached a fine sermon which was enjoyed" by those present. In the evening the service was well attended and the evangelist again gave a splendid message to the people. During the service Mrs, (Rev.) Stainton and Mrs. Joblin sang a duet very sweetly.

Hard lurk has dogged the foot. steps of the Rose Excelsior for soem time past, and scored the win- ning point on Saturday afternoon, when the only remaining building of the plant, the excelsior house, fell a prey to flames. The fire is said to have originated in the engine room, and spread so quick- ly that although the alarm was giv- en immediately, the fire brigade was powerless to do anything. The heat was so intense that it was dangerous to go very near the building. In June, the pad house of the mill was burned to the ground, and now nothing but ruins mark the place of Pickering's one in- dustry. Since the fire in June, the pad section has been carried on in the building belonging to the Maple Leaf Milling Co., but it is not known how long it will carry on under the circumstances. Mr, vas. Rose, mnager of the mill. has for some time heen contemplating a move to Milton, and has not made known yet if Saturday's catastro- phe will make a difference in the plans. All the machinery in hoth buildings was destroyed: so, al- though there was some insurance, a heavy loss has been incurred. The village will feel the loss keea- ly, for the Rose Excelsior Mill has been instrumental in giving work to a large number of men for the past several years.

Felt Bros. 1 he LEADING JEWELERS Established 1886 12 Simcoe St. South ELECTRIC TRAIN OPERATOR KILLED Winnipeg-West Selkirk Car Jumps Open Switch Winnipeg, Aug. 15.--Motormas Harry Serivens, of Selkirk, Man., was fatally injured and 19 pass- engers badly shaken up when an electric train operating between Winnipeg and West Selkirk, 25 miles from the city, jumped an open switch and crashed into a gravel car on a siding, near here late Saturday afternoon. Most of the passengers sustained only min- or injuries and were released after receiving first aid treatment. Motorman Scrivens died a few minutes after being admitted to the hospital. When extricated from the cabin of the tram, he was barely alive, his skull and jaw being fractured, legs and arms lac- erated, while he suffered internal injuries and cuts about his whole body. The train was travelling at a speed of 30 miles an hour when it jumped the track, hurdling across a portion of the right-of-way and into the flat car, loaded with gravel. The front of the train was reduced to splinters, every window broken and the rear end demolished. An official investigation into the cause of the accident has been started and an inquest will likely be held.
