ANARROW ESCAPE.

Last Saturday about 4 O'Clock, Mrs.
Buddle was driving down superior
avenue. When about at the hospital
the hold back strap broke letting the
buggy run onto the horse. He started
on mad gallop down the street She
stuck pluckily TO her lines and tried
to steer him so that the buggy would
ease mp on him lie slowed onto the
sidewalk at Schooks 8 barn ran along
the cement walk aud around a tele-
phone pole turning Oft onto the street
again and across - Tufts store where
in turning 10 eros again the buggy
bumped the sidewalk aud threw Mrs
Buddle out onto the walk She sus-
tanned no serious injury and was able
to do her shopping and drove the hor }
home. Some bystanders caught the

As the bunch has played Tut two

no fair estimate of their ability TO

weeks previous to his death and was
so bad that he could not lie down and
had to sleep sitting in a chair. On
Saturday evening be appeared IS
cheerful ana well as he had been right
along and his son and Mrs SIR re-
tired little thinking that his spirit
would depart during the night When
his son got up at five in the morning
he found his father dead in his chair.
His end came peacefully. 1t seems as
if he simply slept off into the other
world
Mr.. SIR was eighty years old and
drove with the mail to Mansfield aud
back up to about three weeks of his
death. He was born il Ireland and
came to lower Canada when he was but
seven years of age, settling in the

seven years ago he came TO this
country settling first at Sault Ste
Marie. where he lived for 30 years
He came to Crystal Falls twelve years
ago and has resided here since that
time. He raised family OF FIVE
children and is survived by his wife

fecting temporary organization and
the meeing went to work at once TO

tive committee. The following were
chosen. Trustees for three years Peter

New York, March 21.-Cables were quite
satisfactory today, the Liverpool market
making an advance of to ) points. The
weekly Liverpool report Indicated no d.
.ainuation in the strength OF that market
As to sho stocks. The weekly figures
having gained 5000 in the supplies Of all
Kinds in warehouses and lost $1,000 in
afloat, while the total of both is now 1856, :
eco less than last year, which is still a
very bullish feature in the situation.
Great Britain has taken 10000 bales less
cotton from this country since Septem-
Der l. With this statistical showing,
II is useless to look for a weakening mar
ket at this time when the old crop is
growing smaller than looked for and the
new one getting very late start. Atlanta
had heavy rains and there was quite a
fall at Vicksburg, but at other places
light. The market opened points higher
IN a fair demand. Prices advanced to 4
points after the opening. Sellers were
holding back and the Indications were for
4 movement next week that would not
exceed last years by over 10000. IL that.
