BRIGHTER Prospects for the Grand Trunk.
At meeting of the Grand Trunk Railway
Company of Canada in London Thursday, Sir
Henry Tyler said he thought the brightest
prospect was dawning The acquisition of the
line from Port Hnron to Chicago was the most
important event in the history of the company
and would open up the best route to Manitoba.
Up to the present time about e310,0 600 had been
spent in gaining admission to Chicago Two
hundred thousand pounds would be required
the next six months and 100000 the next
three years, but the securities would readily be
| taken in America il shareholders here did not
| choose to take them. He characterized the
statement in the recent report of the Great
Western Company, that its policy had been
| peaceful and that of the Grand Trunk Com
| pany aggressive, as most untrue. He said the
| Great Western Company had been great bar
10 harmony in that part of the continent. We
could not make any arrangements with them
and were prevented by them from making
arrangements with other companies.

Passed on the death of John w. Mar.
tin, by Saxonia Lodge, l. o. o. F.,
No. 496.
WHEREAS, An all-wise, but inscru-
table Providence, has seen fit to re-
move our beloved brother, John w.
Martin, from the Lodge below to the
Grand Lodge above; therefore
Resolced, That we, the members of
Saxonia Lodge, bear united testimony
to the unimpeachable character and
high moral standing of our departed
brother.
Resolved, That recognizing as we
did in Brother Martin young man of
more than ordinary talents and attain
ments, we cannot but deplore the loss
which we, as Lodge, and as fellow
citizens, have sustained in his early
demise.
Resolved, That in the sudden and
unexpected death of one so young,
''in the flower of youth and strength"
we have still another admonition that
we be also ready.
Resolved, That to his mourning
friends, but especially to his stricken
father and mother, do we tender our
most sincere and heartfelt sympathies
in this their great aflliction.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread on the minutes of the Lodge,
that copy be sent to the parents of
the deceased, and that they be pub
lished in our county papers.

Communicated
Notice

Is hereby given to the citizens of But
Ter county that having purchased OF
Mr.. Il. 3. all his right, title, interest
and claim to make, use and vend to
others the exclusive right to use the
slip gap in the common rail fence, all
persons infringing on said patent will
soon be called upon by the collector,
accompanied by an attorney, for the
purpose of collecting all moneys due
for infringement on said patent Every
person using said patent will be ex-
pected to pay at the rate of five dollars
for every one hundred acres
Please have the money ready when
we call, as we wish to "strike while
the iron is hot" We positively refuse
to take silver in sums over one dollar,
as we expect to collect quite sum of
money and the weight would be bur-
densome to our cold gray" whose bet
ter days are DER, having passed her
one score years and ten. Now don't
get fussy and scold, and raise an ex-
citement and refuse to pay, for we will
threaten you with the United States
Court. With those who will not scare
we will compromise, provided they do
not call us hard names nor charge US
big board bills. Now don't try to
avoid paying by saying it is a swindle.
Is not this a free country? Have L
not as good right to swindle the
people of Butler county as any other
person? Pm inclined to think that a
gap in a rail fence is often of more
benefit to the farmer than a slide gate
P. S.-Having obtained letters pat
ent for q round hole drilled in the
ground, and as there are many of these
in the oil regions there is money in it.
Township and county rights for sale.
None need apply except persons of
good moral character.

THE Cooperative Foundry, at Bea-

few days tests have been made with the Sher-
man process, by direction of the agent Mr.. d.
Larned, under the superintendent of Mr.. H..
NJ. Armor, General Superintendent of the
works. The process was subjected to the
most severe tests that could be given it in the
way of running very thin plate with metal at
the last of the heat, when it had become slug
gsh. One test was the running of the metal
from the cupola into large ladle, then incor-
porating the process in this ladle and, after
holding it some time III check, pouring it into
smaller ladies that had not been heated and
finally, (after another holding in check pour
ing it into the mould, which contained very
thin plate. Here is where the process showed
its great advantage, in holding the metal so
long in fluid state. So satisfactory was the
result of this test that the worllnen agreed
that without the Sherman process, or its equiv
alent no such castings could have been OBJ
tained. These castings when taken out of the
sand showed a much cleaner surface than any
made by the ordinary methods. Though not
knowing the composition of the materials which
the Sherman process Incorporates with the
with the results obtained and pronounced the
tests satisfactory.
