alton at a special session last evening.
The main question before that body was
che Battery ditch. There is only ono
solution to that matter. Its TO meet the
railroad company half way and build q
double lined brick water course half egg
shape. 1t Is net right to ask tho railroad
company 10 clean tho ditch into which
runs the dregs from tho Fig pens along Its
course. Let council puu II general all
round move on and see the railroad com
pany In reference to the above suggestion.

wharf was reached the bull got hold Of tho
rope in its mouth and bit it off a few inches
from the ring. Then homo sweet homo

run into Merediths cigar store to save
themselves from icing gored.
a dozen OF such experiences happened
In town and when tho bull got on the
railroad below the woOlcn mills one man
was sure ho would head 1t off. The result
was that the man sought shelter in II treo
for half an hour until the bull became

tree. A good pasture field near by is goUu
enough at present for the bull.

Complai Int Against American Steamer

Ottawa. Ont. July 2l.-The Rlckelieu
and Ontario Navigation company have
complained to the minister Of customs
that American steamers are reported
to be carrying excursions between
Canadian points. contrary to law. The
steamers evade the law by merely call
ing at an American port ell route, thus
giving the coloring Of international
trade to the proceeding, It is probable
that the practice, which has been
largely patrontzed by church picnics
and which extends all over the st.
Lawrence, even down to Montreal will
be suppressed.
