John Finertv, of Chicago, president of the newly organized league presided and most of the 31 original members of the executive committee were in attendance. D'Arcy Scott, of Ottawa, Ont., was added to thc executive committee. A constitution and bylaws based on tbe lines of the old Land League organization were adopted and arrangements made to organize the country in support of the Irish leaders and the United Irish league in Ireland. The executive committee was engaged until a late hour in drafting an address to the people of this country on which they base their claim to active support of the Irish cause at. the present time. The address endorEcs what Mr, Redmond and his associates said as to the important part England is playing in keeping Ireland down and says, ''the great task, then of this generation, is to strive and root the Irish in their soil, the work so gloriously begun by Parnell and now so ably prosecuted by Redmond, Davitt, O'Brien, Dillon and their associates. The young people of Ireland must be given a living in the land that gave them birth, in order that they may cleave unto the soil, they must be made like the Frenohman, the Hoi lander, and the Boer, farmer proprietors. This, allied ti the underlying autre of Irish national indc pendencc, is the notable mission of the United Irish league of Ireland. It is our duty as Irishmen to sustain Ireland in her chosen policy which io no way conflicts with out national sentiment either as fiiends of Ireland or as American citizens. The address then calls upon Irish Americans to torno, as soon as may be impossble, branches of the United Irish league of America to cooperate with their Irish brethren in cause of national liberty and agrarian reform.

Washington, Dec. 19.���"History affords no parallel of a whole p��<:ple thus practically turning war traitors and in the genius of no other people was ever found snch masterful powers ot secrecy and dissimulation, but it Is needless to say that no powerful state was ever erected or ever oan be erected ou such immoral and unenlightened foundations. ' This statement is made by General Chaffee, military governor of the Philippines in view of a number of oouit martial in the islands, the records of wnicb have been received at the war department, Tbe case which brqnght forth this comment was one wherein seven natives wero tried jointly ou a charge of murder. The accused had been solidcrs in tbe insurgent army and after defeat by the American army in the field, abandoned even the show of open opposition and took up their residences at Taytay, a place proteoted by an American garrison. Then, following the proclaimed policy of the insurgent chief, they proceeded to organize secretly a bolo band. When authorization hud been given to establish civil government the band came forward under tbe leadership of a resident padre and were elected municipal officers of Taytay. Then ensued a remarkable attempt to serve two masters. In ail lawful matters tbey served with due appearance of loyalty to the American government while at tbe same time they labored secretly and diligently in the interests of the insurgents. This dual form of government, says General Chaffee, existed everywhere in strongly garrisoned cities like Manila as well as tbe smallest eity. Tbe municipal officers of Taytay next entered upon a series of murders and continued tbeir deadly work until the growing number of mysterious disappearances led to the discovery of the perpetators by the Americau authorities. One undeniable truth, says General Chaffee, stands out in this cas; as in hundreds of like cases of murder, that the avei- age native of these islands has not more than the merest rudimentary conception of his individual rights aod duties as a man, and no one knows this so well as the chiefs who use bim for their nefarious purposes. Six of the seven natives were sentenced to be hanged but Gen. Chaffee commuted the sentenced of three of them to imprisonment at hard labor for life. Tbe seventh native, Leor- nardo De Posoy, a regularly ordained piie t, asked for and was granted a separate trial. At his trial De Posoy who was held to be thc chief agent in the Taytay murders, tuok advantage of the loophole, which appeared to be afforded by his position as priest, by contending that while the participators in thu wholesale murders In Taytay would confess thn same at confessional be was compelled by his sacred oflice to keep silence. Uenc-al Chaffee pronounced this defence of no value Baying that "tho confessional does net lay upon any man, priest or layman, the obligation of suppressing knowledge of crimes being committed by third parties." Den. Chaffee confirmed the sentence of death imposed by the court martial which tried de Posoy but commuted the sentence to 30 years' imprisonment at hard labor, out of his respect for his calling and on account of the great relligous organization of which be is a most unwoithy member. flames blazing upward through the bell, 'ihe men were on the furnace platform 85 feet above the ground, j There were 19 men over the furnace I when the explosions occurred, and 15 of them were caught in the flames. Two of them escaped vvith slight injuries. The other four were the regular men employed as top fillers and escaped without injury. The explosion was caused by the gas becoming incased in a crust of cinders forming at the bottom of the furnace. A wheelbarrow containing ore had been sent up to the men and when they went to dump it into the bell of the furnace tbey pushed it over too far and it rolled into the hopper. The barrow weighed 900 pounds and was too heavy for the four men to raise. The 15 laborers were then sent up to assist them. Had it not been tor the barrow accident, no one would have been hurt as the regular men know how to protect themselves at such times, as similar explosions are of frequent occurrence. When the explosion occurred burning heaps of cinders settled around the men almost knee deep. Their shrieks wero terrible in the frantic efforts to save themselves. TRAMWAY COMPANY AT THE RINK.

St. Louis, Dec. 19.���One hundred and forty railway mon representing the 35 branches of the Railway Men Christian association in tbe southwest arc in attendance at the special conference for the discussion of departmental work now Deing held here, Miss Helen Miller (ionld, at whoso suggestion the conference was called. Is unable to be preRcnt. Letters irom her and from George'J. Oould, president of the Missouri-Pacific expressing sympathy with the movement have been received. A Miner reporter called upon Mr. 0. S. Drutnmond, who is a director of The British Electric Traction Co. of London, England, and also of the Nelson Electric Tramway Co. In reply to questions, Mr. Drum- mond stated that be observed in Nelson many improvements of a substantial character, and the town had a more prosperous appearance than he had been led to expect from the letters and reports he had received before arriving here. He was glad to hear that there was a good prospect of peace and goodwill between the miners and mine owners and he hoped this would bu of a permanent and extended nature. Mr. Drutnmond was asked thc question of the hour. "What has been decided upon relative to the tramway?" and gave the reporter to understand that he was anxious to lend what aid he could to their other directors in their desire to keep the line open. The position was that the Tramway company had a large excess of power for which thoy would be glad to receive from the city an offer. All tbe current that the city woulc1 require ln excess of their present power for the next five years could be had from tbe Tramway company and the cost of this to tlie city wonld be a trifle com pared to tbe contemplated oapital expendituie of 8150 000 and the yearly charge on the taxes of $30,000 to $40,- OOt) us contepmlated by tbe bylaw. The Tramway oompany estimate that about five thousand spent in plant (which is a saleable asset) and a sum of less than five thousand perannum for current would place tne city In a position to at once supply some thousands of lights, which even if the bylaw be passed and acted upon these lights could not be in operation for perhaps a two years from now. The city would therefore save about one hundred and forty-five tbousad dollars of capital expenditure and very little lesN than thirty thousand dollars a year and on the other hand the Tramway company would be benefited to the extent of the current purchased from them. Mr. Drummond presumes that every pertun in Nelson is aware that the Tramway company are compelled to take and pay for from the West Koceuay Power and Light Co. current which is laigely in excess of their requirements. He also pointed cut that the Tramwuy compay, have honestly fullli lU'il all that they piomiaed to do and now have a line in this city which is equal, if not superior, to anything elsewhere and in view of the fact they luve spent over one hundred and seventy thousand dollars in Nelson, they think they are untitled to consideration, especially in view of tlie fact that It costs the city no more for current and tbat they will save a huge capital expenditure.

Today the ratepayers of Nelson will decide the fate of the fonr bylaws, which have beeu before them since December Oth, and which call for the raising of $170,000 by way of debentures to he used for the pin poses of providing an electric light plant, an isolation hospital, a high school and a fire alarm system. The full text of these measures have appeared in The Miner for the past ten' days so that the public is well informed as to what they are and the purposes for which the money is to be expended. The principal bylaw, which, if it is adopted, will call for the expenditure of $150,000 for the erection of an electrical plant at Ilonnington Falls. That the city should vtltiamtely own its own plant at Ilonnington Falls for the furnishing of light and power to the people of Nelson is heartily agreed to by The Miner. Nelson already owns an electric light plant which is conceded to be inaequate for current requirements, but which can be reinforced ,until the time come�� when the oity can' erect thc larger plaDt at Bonnington Falls." It is contended in some quarters that this cannot he done,but,not��ithstanding thia, it is entirely feasilbe and tbe extension of the present plant to a sufficient capacity to supply thc additional lights could made without a very large outlay. So far, however, as putting in a plant, at a cost of $l.ri0,000 or perhaps $200,000, or muyliaps 8250,000, at present ib cuncsrned it would be a most impolitic and unwise move as the mining and business situation do not justify lhe city in going so deeply into debt. There is no surer way to depreciate the value of realty in a young city than to pile up a large civic indebtedness. The theory of those who are ever ready to pluge municipalities into debt is that pestcri'y will pay the bills, and their sentiment, ia what do we oa re for posterity? A municipal Indebtedness is an interest- bearing mortgaga on every piece of real estate within tho corporate limits of a town contracting obligations. The truth is that posterity does no have to pay nearly as much as the ratepayers who contract the debt��� as they pay in the direct form of an immediate contraction of tho value of their realty holdings and in the Immediate increase of taxes. Brandon Sault Ste. Marie and several other yonng Canadian cities are examples of what municipal recklessness, extravagance and the carrying out the idea that posterity will pay- will do for a town. No ratepayer who has his own interest or the interest of the city, its present or future prosperity, at heart should vote for the bylaw providing for the raising of SlfiO.uOO for an electric light plant. The taxes on realty are already sufficiently onerous und an increase would be in tbe nature of a hardship tt the present juncture. Just as soon as the debt for Ihe electric light plant is contracted the work of paying tho interest and the principal commences. This fact alone deinonstiutes that somebody else besides posterity Is compelled to melt such obligations. The idea is that it is not good policy under the present clouded condition of affairs to contract so large an obligation and no ratepayer who can look ahead the least bit will cast a ballot in favor of the electric light bylaw. It has been stated Ihal the intention was to bonus the proposed lead refinery, provided It is located in Nelson, by means of cheap electrical power, either in the form of power for ooBt or for nothing, for a certain period. This is uot true as the inten- ion of the city authorities was to givo a direct bonus of $50,000 in cash to the lead refinery. If tho electric light bylaw is adopted the city will be so elose to tbe limit of its borrow- Save Your Snowsboe Tags The most popular brand nf Ohcwing Tobacco in Canada today is ''Pay Roll."

In such, an event the refinery would probably be ereotcd in some other city in the , Kootenays and in one that is not ao i hampered by debt that it could with-! out any trouble give the subsidy. Other towns are in tbe tunning for the refinery, which is certain sooner or later to be erected and Nelson must not allow the prize to get anav from her by maing a mis- play such as not being in a position to put up the bonus when the time for It. comes. It is.therefore.palpable that to adopt the bylaw would seriously injure Nelson's chances of getting the lead refinery. The question of taking power from the West Kootenay l'ower and Light company is not an issue of the polling whieh takes place today, as that question was deoided hy a vote of the ratepayers several weeks since, even though in certain quarters an effort is being made to befog the public and to make the ratepayers believe that it is the main matter on which the balloting will be taken. There are ways and means by which this can be avoided and one is to supplement the city plant with steam power, a second is to take pait of the Tramway company's power and another] is to take gas from tbe gas oompany until such time as conditions improve, when the city can expend the large sum needed to instal a plant at Bonnington Falls. The 'dominant question at issue is whether the city can judie. ously afford to borrow $150,000 for the purpose of putting in the lighting plant and 'the attempt to mislead the public by holding out false issues may be compared to those of wreckers who put out lights to lure vessels against a storm beaten shore in order that they ma; be wrecked and subsequently plundered. Another pertinent question*is,"will it help those who bave>acant houses, or mortgaged residences or stores, to place a mortgage of $150,000 and perhaps $200,000 on their property? Of course it will not, aa it will make their condition considerably worse than they are as the taxes on their holdings will be neaily doubled and their chances ot realizing profit or rentals, or of paying of their obligations, or of disposing of their holding at a fair price, will be greatly decreased. The high school bylaw ihould be adopted as the higher the educational advantages of Nelson the more desire- ahle it will be as a residence place, and the more valuable will be its realty, and, therefore, the high school bylaw should be adopted without a disenting voice. The fire alarm system is au actual necessity. It will cut down the fire risk and assist in reducing the cost of insurance. The fire-alarm bylaw should meet with unanimous support. As far as the isolation hospital is concerned it has been learned that the city intends to have it so large that it can be used not only for smallpox patients, but also for those afflicted with diptheria, scarlet fever and other contagious diseases. When a member of a family of a poor man is afllioted with one of these contagious diseases it Is often found necessary to quarantine the entire family. In such an event it causes a large Dill of expense which it is difficult for the head of the household is pay out of his small wages. If there was an isolation hospital an afflicted person oould be taken to the isolation hospital and the house on which the disease was contracted fumigated. In the meanwhile the afflicted ono conld be scientifically treated where there would be no danger of the spreading of the dis ease. In this view of the oase the isolation hospital would be of great convenience as it would greatly assist the authorities iu stamping out the epidemics. Although $10,000 is ap parently a large sum for a building for tbis purpose still if the ratepayers feel that it is necessary thoy should vote for it. From tho foregoing it will be seen that it is essential that the electric light bylaw be defeated as the city cannot possibly afford to contract so large, an obligation at the present time. Thc question to be voted on does not imply that a contract Is to be mado with the West Kootenay Power and Light company at 'his time and this question Is not an issue. In conclusion, we believe that the electric light bylaw should be defeated and think that the ratepayers in their wisdom will do this by a large majority. UsedlAII Over the World __.

At Salt Lake City a Miners' home is to built by Mrs Mary Judge, n philanthropic lady of that city. It will coat between $40,000 and $.10,000 and is to be a home for aged, infirm and disabled miners. This is a worthy use to put money to and one which should be imitated. The miners have done a great deal in the way of adding to the wealth ot the world and those who have made vast fortunes through tbeir efforts anuld not do better than to set j aside a portion of their wealth for the establishment of homes where the knights of tbe plok and shovel could live eomfortably when they ar* no longer able to work. BANKRUPTSTOCK We are NOT BUSTED and moreover in our 20 years of business career we have always managed to pay 100 cents on the dollar. Some people may not be busted but they came very near it a short time ago. Our Sale has been a decided success, so much so that it has evidently hit some of our competitors hard who are advertising discount sales ranging from 10 to 50 per cent., which means that on good staple goods you only get a 10 per cent, rebate. Now we bought the stock we are at present selling, at a low rate on the dollar, and we are letting everything go at and under wholesale cost, which means a discount of 50 per cent, and over on all goods. The clothing we bought in this stock is high-class, manufactured by some of the largest firms in the Dominion. Our stock consists of Clothing, Gent's Furnishings, Hats, Boots, Shoes, and Dry Goods.

Train Crew Generally Much Com mended For Nerve and Bravery. Work was carried on al] Wednesday night and all yesterday by the wrecking crews at Kiie Mile roint and all the tracks and switrhes have not been cleared. Sueiintendent Forrest.of the Spokane Falls line, was at Rossland when he received word of t.ne wreck and immediately left for the scene in a special. A wrecking train has not yet arrived from Spokane but will probably reach here today. Practically all the damage done is in the loss of the rolling stock involved, as nearly all of the freight was saved, although a quantity of apples in one of the refcrigerHor cars were converted into cider. The engine had finished its trip against an immense boulder, which oamo off best io the encounter, indenting the front of tbe engine and smashing the pilot. Another boulder had removed the cylinder. The boiler and part of the cab are intact, and although the tank went through considerable gymnastics it can be repaired. The engineer aud fireman, who were injured, are stopping at the Waverley hotel and are getting along well although very stiff and sore aid expect to be aiound in a few days again. While searching the wreck an overshoe with the heel of a boot in it was found in the cab having been ten from the foot of the engineer, when he was thrown off. The bravery of Brakesman Griffin who got out on the runaway tram, continued setting brakes with the train going nt lightning pace and did uot leave his post until the cars had jumped the track, was Ihe subject of much admirinu comment on tbe street yesterday Engineer Zweiser and Fireman Coekwell who stayed at their potts until their efforts to stop the train were no longer of avail showed that they were made of true stuff.

No snow has vet fallen at the lake but bare roads are not apt to continue much longer. The force of men at the mine is tiiiall but these will be increased as soon as the tramway is ready to take away the ore. Mr. Roy has arranged with J. F.

Mr. Brown states lhat all work at the mine is closed down and likely to remain so for some time as the low price of lead does not leave ranch profit in mining it. lie is hopeful tbat tbe present condition of things will quiciky alter with a rise in the price of lead, copper and silver, wbich must eventually come.

The Wide l��e ol tbe Nose In Flar- nres of Speach. While it is true that some people hava noses that look as if they did not belong to their wearers and seem always trying to get rid of them���witness Cyrano ds Bergcrae���It is also true that there aro innumerable instances where the feature assimilates with character and harmonizes with the whole form and physiognomy. History teems with illustrations of this fact. When Socrates wns called a sot on account of his nose, he acknowledged its language was a true index to bis natural character. Space between the eyes, which is filled by the upper uasul extremity, indicates the organ of form or power of correctly judging local distance and conditions. It was remarkably wide in Washington's head. Gouverneur Morris, ane of the most impressive elocutionists of our Revolutionary era, had a prominent and expansive nose, which gave a sonorous emphasis to his voice. Franklin's nose was said by phrenologists to illustrate the economical instinct embodied so famously in "Poor Rich- aid." The chivnhio temper of Henry Clay was evident in his nose. So was that of Alexander Hamilton. Tom Paine's grossness as well as mental vigor was symbolized In this feature, and se were the strong hut unrefined proclivities of Gilbert Stuart. Voltaire's nos* would seem to be turned up at all creation and snuffing a paradox. Lavuter calls the nose the "sent of derision." He says a beautiful one is never found in a countenance otherwise ugly, and ho considers it "an abutment of the brain" and, like the arch in Gothic buildings, the essential feature. He declares: "I haTe never seen a nose with a broad back thnt did not belong to nn extraordinary man, such ns Swift, Cresor Borgia, Titian, etc. Small nostrils are nn Indubitable sign of unenterprising timidity; the open, breathing nostrils, of sensibility." A inter and more analytic writer finds infinite shades of meaning in the shapes aud size of thc nose. The first ridge, just above the'top, for instance, according to his observation, is the sign of self defense nnd is large In controversial men. By the length of the nose, from the root downward at a right angle, he estimates thc tendency t* suspicion. Whether one acquiesces In such details of nasal langunge, there is no doubt thnt general force of character is associated with a certain strength in this feature of tho face. The Roman aquiline nose is identified commonly with high birtli or Intellectual rigor, the snub with plebeians, the Haldolt>h with grossness, the rc- trousso with fun, the flexible nostril with feeling, the broad with courage and ths Indented with sensitiveness. A cinder in the eye or a cut lip excites commiseration, but an accident to the nose provokes a laugh. Even common parlance seems to bare singled out ths nose, of all features, to treat with contempt or at least ridicule. "Follow your nose!" Is the watchword to impertinent ciceroni, and to be "led by the nose" is a synonym for imbecility. "Nose out of joint" is the approved phrase for discomfiture. When a man is too plcbeinr for a challenge and too insignificant to be flogged, the common method of punishment Is to tweak his nose. "I'll slit thc villain's nose!" is the lowest of threats. To turn up the nose at an object suggests contempt too small for indignation, to lay one finger 00 the nose and gyrate all four with the thumb foi a pivot are vulgar comic gestures, and thus this feature of the human fact seems, by universal consent, to be associated with the ridiculous and mean phases and forms of life. Why is this? Partly becnuse occupying the center of the physiognomy and being the most prominent pointtherein,Its lenst singularity breaks up the harmony of the whole; partly because It is the moet passive yet ostentatious of the features and finally because Its character, being indicated by form���without mobility, like the mouth, and changes of tint snd size, like the eye, ���hns a certain fixed emphasis whieh provokes attention. Hence they are fortunate whose noses have an average type and no special mold whereby they escape scrutiny. If one turns from the form to the us* of the nose, one will find somewhat of the same deprecatory estimate. To smell out a thing, for example, Is a figure of speech which savors of indignity. It bas none of the perspicacity of vision or the delicacy of touch. Smell Is a sense wherein the animals are often our superiors, which may in a degree account for this comparative disrespect. It Is the sens* least vaunted ns a distinction of humanity. Even ghylock appeals to the eyes and hands, but Is silent about noses. However, the latent affinities of this sense are far nearer to tbe mind and fur- iher removed from the mere animal faculty than the vulgar know. "The use of Incense in churches," Bays Montaigne, "so universally received in all nations and religions, was intended to cheer us and to purify the senses, th* better to fit us for contemplation." He also notes as an idiosyncrasy, " 'Tis not to be believed how all sorts of odors cling to mo." Although It is the blind who perhaps appreciate most fully tha full significance of scout, even those blessed witb perfect vision, if of sensitive temperament, hnve In this sense a prompter to memory more instant than sight or touch. Sandalwood can take one to the orient; lavender to the rural households uf eld England; frankincense to the temple nnd cathedral; pine balsam to th* forest. What creams of youth and love nnd sorrow come with the odor of the violet! What dreary reminiscence of tempestuous voyages with th* omcll of bilge water! How diverse thc sensation awakened by the air of a boudoir and a hospital.���New Vcrk Press. On* Bar ��t Ufa.

Xney are Very Aptly Answered by a Citizen of Nelson. Editor Miner,���Strang efforts are being made to induce the property owners to vote for a blyaw which if carried will placde a enormous mort gucre over our property and ircrease 0Ur taxation by over 812,500 annually Tlure are three questions in this connection that I wish my fellow property owners would shcitly consider with me. (a) Why should we instal such u large plant as that proposed, viz. 1,000 h. p.? (li) What guarantee have we that such a plant can be installed for $150,000? (cl Why should we blindly'agree that a body of unknown men shall spend or possibly misspend, onr money'.1 (a) I am given to understand tnat the total horse power now required to efficiently light the city is 3110, o this thc present plant can be safely relied on to provide 250 h. p., at tbe lowest stiges of water. Suppose that the city grows larger���at present it is practically growing smaller to judgo by the increasing number of empty bouses���an additional amount of power will be needcC at some future time for lighting, say posssibly 100 li.p.. but even so we are asked to give our money tu install a plant that will generate 800 h. p. more than is now, or heieafter, to be needed for lighting. We are lead to suppose that industries will be purchasers of the surplus power at a good profit to the city, but it this is a field for such industries why have none as yet been started with the power available from llonnington Falls'? Do not let us be fouled in thiB matter. If the field existed the industries would now be 01 foot. Are we going to follow the example of mines that have been known to spend large sums in mills and other machinery before proving thnt tbey had ore to he treated, with the result that mills and maebinery now lie idle. Who are the new consumers that will buy the surplus power? Can the supporters of thc bylaw name five'.' Can they name three? Can they guarantee one that will take iuo h. p. or even 50 h. p. steadily? Industries aie not going to spring into existence merely because the city enters into competition with a power company. If the proposed gamble is a failure the property owners have to bear all the loss, for it is out of onr pockets that all the interest and sinking fund must conic. The idea of providing power before there is a demand for it is thoroughly bad economically. Demand creates supply, but, the reverse Is seldom the case anu should never be relied on. Yet we are asked to launch out in a costly experiment that no business man would seriously consider. liefore nioviding this large excess of power let ns have some guarantee that it is really needed. (li) I do not w��nt to say a word against Mr. McCuIloch's value and ability as city engineer, but if any one of us was going to erect electrical works with his private means, would he not get the advice and estimates from an eleotrical engineer, with a record for suocessfol Installations? I ean see no reason why equal precaution should not be taken in this proposed expenditure where we are providing the money. I cannot accept the estimate of |lb0,000 as carrying any weight or affording any safeguard against an eventual expenditure Of J200.0O0 or 1260,000. (o) Who are we to have as mayor and council for the coming year? Would you or I care to intrust the expenditure of a large sum of onr prl vote money to a totally unknown man? The property owners have but a very small voice in the election of tile mayor nnd council, but the latter have the power to play ducks and dialu-s with the former's money. Let us know who are to be trustees for the proper expenditure of onr money before we vote it. The importance of getting the lead refinery established at Nelson should not be lest sight of, but if this bylaw is passed we shall be unable to offer any bonus to induce a refinery to come here. Finally the prospects of Nelson just now are none of the best. Wholesale houses are olosing out and the population undoubtedly shrinking, though I trust this last is but temporary It is hot the time for going into a rash speculation which is very likely to leave us, like the oreless mine owner, "ith an idle plant and a heavy debt to pay, Wo have danced a long time to the tunes of one fiddler, let us call the tnne ourselves this time.

The skating on the ponds along the lake shore has attracted large crowds every day during the week, the ice keeping in excellent shape. A number have suggested that a refreshment stand dealing- in hot tea, coffee and sandwiches ought to do a good business while thc skating lasts in that vicinty. Voting for the four blyaws takes place today. Tile polling booths opening at H a.m. and closing at I p. m. In the east ward the place to vote is in tbe police court, where J. K. Strachan will be returning officer, and in the west ward at the office of Ward Iiros. on West linker street. where Magistrate Oreape will be in charge.. Owing to the fact that at this election Ihere nre four bylaws to vote on, the votes for each will have to be counted separately, and it is not likely that thc result will be known till about 5.80 o'clook.
