The regular fever of interest in mining matters was illustrated again on Saturday by the excitement and anxiety reported from that city when there was interruption to the service over the through wires from Toronto to the various brokers‘ offices in Otâ€" tawa. A despatch from Ottawa this week commenting on the interruption of wire service says:â€"‘‘The devastaâ€" tion wrought the wire communications out of Ottawa brought suspense to the dealers in mining stocks. The brokâ€" ers‘ offices were well filled as usual at ten o‘clock to get the opening prices of the Standard Exchange from Toâ€" ronto, but in most of the offices the wires were dead.

Much of the evidence at the trial last week was a repetition of that givâ€" en at the coroner‘s inquest. The jury at that inquest returned a verdict to the effect that Mrs. Therrien‘s death was caused by violence, and all but one juror advanced the opinion that Dube should be held. On account of the disagreement of the jury on this point Dube was not held. In the meantime, however, more evidence was secured, and Dube was formally char‘ged with the crime a couple of weeks ago. _ The preliminary trial that opened last Saturday was adâ€" journed until Saturday of this week, when it is understood that the Crown will ceall six witnesses who did not testify at the inquest. In crossâ€"examination, Therrien adâ€" mitted that he had allowed Dube to come to the house since the inquest, but he gave as a reason for this that he wished to obtain particulars from the accused _ Therrien admitted alâ€" so that his wife had left him two or three times. but he fatly declared that he had never thought her guilty of misconduct. A sensational turn was given to the case by the arrest on Saturday of Ellâ€" wood Baker by provineial police, on a charge of spreading false news. Baker pleaded: guilty to the charge and his confession may be linked in the chain of evidence that the Crown is seeking to throw around Dube. According to the police, Baker told several people in Espanola that he had seen Mrs. Therrien in a blind pig on the evening she was murdezxed. He further claimed that she was with another woman and neither of them had much clothing on. His story, proceeded to claim that a fight deâ€" veloped in which Mrs. Therrien was struck on the head with a bottle, death resulting shortly afterwards. _ Now that Barker has admitted this story to be without truth, the Crown is looking into the iposstbility that Dube induced Baker to tell such a yearn to turn away suspicion. ‘ river, caught on the submerged limb of a fallen tree, about 17 miles from Espanola. The body was scantly clad. The autopsy showed that death was due to a fractured skull, and as there was no water in the lungs, the probabilities were that Mrs. Therrien was dead before the body was placed in the water. In his evidence Mr. Therrien swore that Dube‘s actions at the time were strange, and he said the man wore a guilty look. The husband said that Dube changed his elothes when he came into the house the night the woâ€" man disappeared, and some of the clothing could not be found afterâ€" wards. A few days previously Dube had been told by Therrien that he had better leave the house. â€" Therrien denied ever ‘being suspicious of his wife, and had never heard anything about her relations with othey men until Dube testified at the inquest. The woman‘s body ways recovered from the river later under conditions much like Dube had indicated. When the case opened Saturday the chief witness was Peter Therrien, husband of the murdered woman, who said that worker, charged with the murder of Mrs. Therrien, at whose house he boarded. Mrs. Therrien disappeared in May of this year and eight witâ€" nesses at the trial last week said that Dube had suggested right after the woman‘s disappearance that she had been shorn of her clothing, knocked on the head and thrown into the river. dENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL AT ESPANOLA NOW of the murdered woman, who said that Mrs. Therrien left home about six o‘clock when she failed to return, Dube told the husband that she would never come back.

At Ottawa this week the assistant deputy postmasterâ€"general, Mr. P. T. Coolican, confirmed the reports reâ€" garding the proposed new mail service by airplane to Red Lake. He pointed out, however, that this new airplane mail service had no connection whatâ€" ever will the extensive use of airâ€" planes for transporting mails between large cities to the ocean liners and to inland points.> The latter service is a different matter altogether. _ The serâ€" vice to Red Lake is simply a contract for local mail delivery, as it were, and is being put into effect simply to service a large section of country where there are many men at work for away from home and their friends in the south. The ainplane service will bring the prospectors and mining men several days closer by mail to the South. The round trip from Hudson or Sioux Lookout to the Red Lake post offices and back is a matter of several hunâ€" dred miles, and to travel this by dog team would consume several days. Goingz by airship cuts the time down to a matter of hours. for such a service. It is said that tenders will be let at a comparatively early date. According to the plauns as outlined now, mails will be picked up from the Transcontinental railway and rushed by airplanes to the new post offices that have ‘been located in the new mining areas of what is genâ€" erally termed Red Lake. The mails will travel by railway to Hudson, Sioux Lookout or some other suitable and convenient point where the airâ€" planes can meet them. _ The exact station that will be utilized is not known yet, and it is likely that the rival towns concerned will each and all make earnest bid for the honour and the business of being the place where the railway and the airplane join in the service of delivering and transporting mail matter. | x AIRPLANES T0 REPLAGE DDGS FOR CARRYING MAIL Satisfaction assured you here whether you Buy or Sell.
