TOLEDO, o., May 26.-Investigation
of the application for pension of Mrs.

while raising family of five children
here, he had two sons in Cleveland,

A DEATH PLUNGE.

Sixty People Meet Death by the Dropping
of an Electric Car and Bridge Into a
Body of Water at Victoria, Is. C.
VICTORIA, b. c., May GA terrible
accident occurred here Tuesday after
ternoon when an electric car fell
through the Point Ellice bridge into
an arm of James bay and from 60 to 70
people were drowned. A sham battle
at Macauley Point was on the pro-
gramme as part of the celebration of
the queens birthday and nearly the
whole of the population had gone out
to witness it. Victoria prolongs the
celebration of the queens birthday
more than many of the older cities and
| celebrates it more enthusiastically.
The day was a holiday in the city. The
electric cars running out to the scene
! of the battle had been crowded all the
forenoon. Every car was full. Even
| the roofs were occupied.
The car to which the accident hap
pened contained about so persons. In
crossing the Point Ellice bridge it left
the track, crashed through the rail
ings and fell into the water rs feet be
low. All the passengers were carried
down with it. The car fioated for q
moment and then was carried down
by the weight of the metal work at.
tached to it. Those inside were un-
able to escape and were drowned like
rats in trap. Some of those on the
outside escaped by swimming, but
many, stunned by the fall or unable tc
swim, were drowned.
| 1t is believed that 65 or 10 persons
were drowned, but it is as yet impossi
BILE to ascertain the real number. II
will probably be several days befor,
the real extent of the disaster can bt
| learned.

Synopsis of the bulletin issued by the
Ohio section of the climate and crop
service for the week ended May 25:
Southern section-all counties south
of Franklin. Temperature above nor
NAL, sunshine and rainfall deficient.
Crops made fairly satisfactory pro-
gress, although wheat is in poor shape.
Oats, corn, gardens, pastures, meadows,
potatoes and fruit made good headway.
Corn is being cultivated and early po-
tatoes are in bloom. White clover in
bloom-very short. Fine prospect for
small fruits Strawberries ripening-
some on the market. Apples scarce
and insects plentiful. Tobacco being
set out.
Middle section. The weather of the
past week has been marked through
out most of this section by abnormally
high temperature and deficient sun
shine. The rain, coming at suitable
intervals, caused all vegetation to make
very satisfactory progress Corn, oats,
rye and all cereals except wheat are in
fine condition. Corn is up. Some dam
age from cut-worms noted. Crickets,
grasshoppers and potato bugs are caus-
ing damage in some localities. With
the exception of apples the condition
of all tree fruits is generally good.
Small fruits are doing well.
Northern section. Sunshine and rain
fall were both below normal Wheat

use and mutual agreement alone estat-
fishes the value of the property so certi-
fed. Coinage does not make copper
silver nor silver gold, nor does it make
two grains of one, nor affect in the least
degree the rate of their exchange for
each other in open market.
When the coinage ratio of sixteen to
ono was adopted it was as nearly as pos
sible the actual market ratio of silver
10 gold. The two metals were thus
treated as nearly alike as possible. In
order to get 1000 silver dollars one had
to take to the mint 81 900 worth of sill
yer. But with free coinage at sixteen
to one, with the present market price
Of silver and unlimited legal tender,
/ cas take $500 worth of other property,
go into the market and buy $500 worth
of silver bullion, take it to the mint,
have it coined into 1000 silver dollar
pieces and compel you to accept them
In discharge of my previously incurred
debt to you for $1,000 worth of gold
or of any other equally valuable prop
erty which you have let me have in eX-
change for an equally valuable amount
of property promised to be delivered
to you at future time. But do not
expect to recoup yourself by taking that
same $500 worth OF silver in the 1000
pieces and going into the market with
it and buying $1,000 worth of other
property with it, just because the law
enabled me to compel you to take it,
for the $1,000 worth of some sort of
property which you had let me have
on the faith or promise of getting an
other $1,000 worth in return. If it be
otherwise, if legal tender act can make
| so cents worth of silver as valuable in
the market rs 100 cents worth of gold,
| it can work the same change in ten
cents worth of silver or cents worth
| of pewter. The value of the bullion,
the property itself, is then no longer
an element in the question of the value
of n silver dollar, or any other dollar,
and the question of the relative pro-
duction and abundance of silver and
gold, or of any other metal is wiped
out. Let us all get few hundred
weight of iron, pass law requiring only
a few grains of it in dollar of full
legal tender quality with free coinage

A Mxstery of the RIne.

Something that no man understands
is why rifle, clamped in an immovable
wise, will not put the bullets into the
same hole every time, even if the wind
does not interfere. a correspondent of
Shooting and Fishing tells how he put
a rifle of 80 caliber into a wise and fired
it ten times, the sights being always
aimed directly at mark. The bullets
went all over four-inch circle at so
yards. Theoretically all ought to have
gone into the same hole. A man who
holds his rifle gripped hard at one time
and easily at another will not shoot as
well as one who takes the same hold OF
his rifle every time. The best results
are obtained from bench rests when
the man puts his shoulder against the
rifle butt.
