ft- that another attempt is
to be made to detlect the head waters
of the Rouge, and it looks as if the
mill owners anal farmer's along that
stream will have another •fight en be-
fore the legislature" to present their
water supply being cut off. The Globe
of a recent date stated : •'Rochester
and Toronto capitalists have a plan on
foot for supplying all the suburban
districts of this -city with water. The
intention of the promoters is to secure
legislation with the consent of all the
various municipalities interested, and
to construct works on the ridges which
lie north of the city. It is said that
the offer to the municipalities and dis-
tricts interested will be of such a
nature that it will be a ,great induce-
ment -to them to support the proposed
plan. The places interested are New-
market. Aurora, Richmond. Hill;
Therhill, . North Toronto, East To-
ronto, the Junction, Deer Park, Swan-
sea, Mitnico. and - smeller places in the
vicinity of these more thickly popu-
hited districts. It is said the scheme
if, carried out will entail en expendi-
ture of $1,500,000.'`

In this season of spare crops it is rt•
freshing to get news of a yield per acre

alsike.
Mr. Agar has just threshed I3lbush-
els, and 35 lbs. of alsike clover, being a
yield of 71 bushels per acre.
C. H. Stiver, of Unionville, purchas-

• One of them is that" n rich woman can

entbe gartered Duke -as she would a bit
dee of blue ribbon over the counter," and
oAnother that she can "buy a lord, or a
whole shoal of dapper counts and seedy
...barons, and' get into society." .
He goes on to say things much more
scathing about the power the moneyed
. man has with women. "because money
has the singular power of purchasing
. anything a man wants. Money has

The latest invention is a submarine
ter salving wrecks,. and it will be used
in an attempt to salve H. M. S. Lutine.,
which was wrecked off Terschelling Is-
land, On the coat of Hollandgin 1799.
"The submarine is fitted with a spe-
ciat internalapparatus," isays i J. Gar-
ner Flood, of London, England, who
will be engaged in the work. "It has
regulators, by the aid of which the op-
erator can control the •pressure -of. the
ad- inside, and so make it the same as
that of the water. The bottom can then
be opened with perfect safety, and the
wreck examined with ease. •
"I have just returned from the wreck
and I think that we shall be success,
and is guarded by fhe local authorities.
"There are; naturally, many difficul-
ties to be overcome, one of the greatest
being the continual shifting of the sand
around the vessel. At some dines the
wreck is completelylcovered, ,and then
eir Work Ls twice as hard-.. •
"The Luline now lies right In 'the
centre of a number of dangerous sand-
banks, and some of the operations,
which have been frequent during the
-last .centuryeeleava been attended. -with
less of life. • •
"It is stated that when the vessel
went down there was bullion -on board
to the value ,of 82.500,000, but ao_dar
4=1y-8500..000 has been recovered, and
we ere now going to try to recover the
remainder. .
•
"Unfortunately, the weather, handi-
caps us considerably. 'and during the
whole of this year we have not had
.one realty • favorable day.. As can be
eusily imagined, when the -sea" is rough
the work is very difficult to carry out.

way to deal with the nuisance is
to bear with it until it beeoMes no

Wenty-Five People Killed on the Quebec
xpress.
:• . A despatch from Rutland, 'Vermont,
`Says. Twenty-five persons were , killed
and .thirty injured in a wreck on the
•:'Boston and Maine Railroad at West
Canaan, sixty miles north of here, at
.4.26 o'clock on Sunday morning. IL
;was a head-on collision between a
freight and- passenger train, the latter
'being bound from Quebec for Boston.
Theenajortty of the killed were French-
-. 'Canadians.
• The cause of the accident,' according
to a statement. given out by the rail-
aroad officials here, was the misunder-
standing of orders sent to the crew of
•••4he freight. An original order had
• been issued giving this freight a clear
-
right of way north out of. Canaen; but
this order was rescinded by a second
one, which calledtior the freight taking
a siding at Canaan. and allowing the
passenger train the right of way. In
rolne unexplained manner the orders
• evere.00nfused, the freight crew getting
the first one and going on through
; Canaan, while the passenger train, got
.11 clearance from White River Junctlen.
:\'t-, on the north. The two trains came
'together in a dense fog. So thick was
talc fog that the engine crews of both
..trains say. they did not .get sight cf
each other.. until they. were only 200_
feet apart. ..
Both engine crews escaped by jump-
-init. the engineer of the passenger train-
- ` -spraining his ankle. Both trains were
going at high speed: ttfe freight on a
down •grade of fifty feet to the mile.
••-•The impact was terrific. . The engine
of the passenger train telescoped the
bsggage car, day roach and part of a
-smoking car. The engine and six cars
ct the freight were piled in .a heap.
NEARLY ALL CANADIANS.
• The greatest loss of life occurred in
the coach of the passenger train,. the
coach immediately behind the, baggage
car. The occupants of this coach were
fog' the most part French-Canadians
Lcund for Manchester, Nashua and Lo-
well to work in the mills, and en route
from Sherbrooke.
The accident occurred In a sparsely
sealed .section, and there were no
places to care for the injured. With
the arrival of the wrecking trains a
tot of the injured were hurried to Con-
cord. Two more seriously injured were
ken -ea -the -hospital at Hanover.'
ALL KILLED IN ONE COACH. •
The occupants of a combination
smoking car and sleeper on the rear
o! the train escaped with only u shak-
ing up. • Those in the first coach be-
hind the baggage car were all killed.
This cur cruinpled like paper when
telcseeped by the baggage car and en-
gine. and -escape for the occupants was
rnipossible.
Those on the train that escaped in-
jury at all and many of those slightly
hurt pitched . in and worked hard in

• ••tA despatch from London says: An
article which appears in the Jiji shimpt,

_dent in, future. A I3oyal-rnessnge has

'At'l this furnishes the clearest evidence

LUSITANIA NAKES RECO
Average Speed Per Hour Still Held

•
A despatch from New York says: A
new steamship record- between a Euro-
peen port and New York was made by
the Cunard Line's new giant turbine
ship,' the Lusitania, whi^-h arrived here
en Friday. The Lusitania left Queens-
town, the nearest trans-Atlantic part to
New. York, at 12.10 p. in., Sunday .and
arrived off the Sandy Hook Lightship
a t 8.115 a.m., Friday, making the time'
for the trip 5 days and 54 minutes.
This is 6 -hours and''29 minutes better
than the previous Queenstown -New
Yor , record of 5 days 7 hours and t:3
minutes - .held by the Lucania of the
same. line.. While the 'Lusitania has
made a new record for the tune a pas-
senger is .actually -on- board ship, she
has -not beaten the average epced per
hour - rec•ard, both the Kaiser Wilhelm
11., Nshich has made 23.58 knots per
hour from New York to Plymouth, and
the Deuhehland, with a reoord of 23:51.
loots per --hour fo Plymouth, have been.
better time. The Lusitenia's peed per
hour on. her 'maiden voyage is estimat-
e.! at 22.87 knots -per hour.
-GAILY BEDECKED.
The new ship'was decked -with 'legs
and •Lunting when she made her ap-
pearane3 off Sandy • Hook on Friday.
morning, ber four big•red funnels lend-
jag color to the picture which was mar-
red by gthe prevailing haze.
lier passengers lined the railings
and crowded the different decks. of the.
large vessel, waving handkerchiefs and
Ar.er:•can and- British flags. The ma--
rine
a-rine ob'ervatory stations on shore dip-
ped their flags in salute, other vessels
in- -the lower bay blew their -whistles
in .greeting andthe Lusitania blue -en-
s gn was constantly•lowered and raised
;Nein 'in acknowledgment of the recep-
tion given her. She steamed slowly up
•
the bay for .the new Ambrose Channel,
dug especially for tessels of more than
20 feet draught, or more than 600 feet
in length, and whieh-she will to the -
fest to use in entering the port of New
York.• '
FROM LAND TO LAND.
The explanation of the apparent con-
flict in the statement that wshnle the
Lusitanta has made -the speediest pas-
sage from land to land, she has not,
broken the speed record, lies in the fact,
that she travelled over the shortest
curse, the distance from Seulhampton.
to New York being 2,828 miles, while
from New York to Cherbourg, the course,
travelled by the Deutschland,_ when she
made her fastest run, is 3,034 miles..
In 1903 the Deutschland made the
voyage from Cherbourg to New York
in five days -eleven • hours and ilriy
four minutes over a course of 3,034:
Hiles at an • average speed of 23.15•
knots:. '
PILOTAGE FEES.
Thre was meth speculation yester-
day as to whom' the honor.of piloting
lhe-big liner would fall, for there is to
be no 'partiality shown, and the mea -
must go out in thei. turn as the liners
Carne in. The •p1.14. age fees Will un-
doubtedly .be the • largest ever paid,
ranging -from S161, should the liner
show a drought of thirty-three feet, to
8167, for a draught of thirty-four . feet.

—A large nutbber of the- retail
merchants of the township waited
on the council on. Monday asking
them to pass a by-law in accor-
dance with the .Act passed by
the Legislature imposing a lic-
ence on transient traders who
do business in the township.
They feel shat they are suff-
ering an injustice at the hands
of tea peddlers, stove peddlers
and the ' vast host who' travel
through the township peddling
their various kinds of goods, • in
many cases receiving prices much
above the regular retail prices.
These men make continual use of -
our public roads. in many cases
pay no taxes, and are subject to a
small license, whereas the regular
merchants of the township are at
a heavy outlay for taxes, rent, in-
surance and in many other ways'
spend their money in the town-
ship. The council is taking the
matter under their consideration.
There is some doubt, however, as
to whether they have the authori-
ty to pass such a by-law or wheth-
er that power lies' with the Coun-
ty Council.
