Electric company has been losing
from $3.50 to $500 per monta until re.

Charles Gadsby, Is out on suspended
sentence on the charge of larceny.
Gadsby was once wireman in this
city. He concocted scheme whore
BY the electricity could be diverted
from the feed wires above the meter
to the wires below the meter. In this
manner electricity could be used
without being registered on the me-
ter The device was an ingenious one
and consisted OF circuit with two
wires issuing from either end. The
tins of the wires had suspended
clasps fastened to them by which the
Jumper was attached to the feed
wires.
The meter readers were surprised
within the last two month"; by finding
on meters that averaged a monthly
record OF $40 worth of lighting pow

AsHBuRNHAM, Ont, April is, 1908
L think it is only right that | should
tell you what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter l
was so distressed with a cold and
cough that l did not think to be able
to take any duties the next day, as my
voice was almost choked by the cough.
The same day l received an order from
you for a bottle of your Cough Rene
dy. l at once procured a sample bot.
tie, and took about three doses of the
medicine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely disap-
peared and | was able to preach three
times on Easter Day. l know that
this rapid and effective cure was due
to your Cough remedy. | make this
testimonial without solicitation, being
thankful to have found such a God
sent remedy. Respectfully yours,

Storm Strands Schooner.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 12.-The three
masted schooner Montana, from Baltl-
more for Charleston, stranded at Pea
Island On. Co. lifesaving station dur
ing a heavy northerly gale. Within
twenty minutes after the vessel
stranded she vas full OF water and
awash, SO that the crew, consisting
of Captain Boyce and six men, were
forced to take to the rigging, where
they remained thirteen hours, when
six OF the eve men We're rescued.
One man, Henry Edwards, was frozen
to death and was dashed in the rig
ging in such a manner that he could
not be reached, and his body is still
aboard the ship, hanging in the rig
sing head downward. One other man
OF the crew was almost dead from ex-
posture and exhaustion when he was
rescued by the members of the life
saving crews.

Four of the Crew Drowned.

Highland Light, Mass, Dec. 12.-
Four OF the twenty members of the
crew of the schooner Fish Hawk lost
their lives after deserving their YES
sci, which had struck and was pound-
Ing heavily on Peaked Hill bar, at
the north end OF Cape Cod. Five 9th
efs, including Captain BY, who fol
lowed their our companions over the
side, had a severe six hours tussle
against a freezing sea and gale in a
small dory, but managed to reach
Provincetown harbor. The deaths and
suffering would have been avoided
had all stayed, by their vessel, which
had a miraculous escape. Before the
rest of the crew could follow their
skipper, the wind and sea had driven
the Fish Hawk ove the bar and she
was navigated into Provincetown har-
Dor.

JAPs CONTINUE ATTACK.
eombardment of Port Arthur Fleet is
Still in Pranress

eombardment of Port Arthur Fleet is
Still in Progress.
Toxic, Dec. 12.-The Japanese on
tinue to batter the Port Arthur fleet
and there is little ground for expect
ing that it will ever again engage the
Japanese. The battleship Sevastopol
continues at anchor outside, but pos
sibly returns to the harbor at night
and anchors inside the outer boom,
which protects her from torpedo
boats. The recent heavy weather
has given added protection to the YES
sci.
Naval experts are discarding the
theory that the Russian themselves
sank any of the ships. The fact that
the vessels first showed lists while in
exposed positions and the efforts
made to save the Sevastopol are re-
garded as conclusive evidence against
the theory ofstheir being sunk by the
Russians. A majority of the sunken
warships lie headed northward. They
received the bulk of the fire across
their port sides and the fact that at
least two of them showed lists to star
board gives rise to the theory that
Japanese shells exploded inside the
ships and against the starboard arm
or, driving the armor outward and
causing leaks. To make sure Of the
destruction of the Russian warships
the Japanese continue to drop shells
into the suuken hulks. The where
abouts of the torpedo boat destroyers
continues doubtful, but it is thought
they are s%heltering outside the har-
Dor. The weather prevents a good OBJ
servation being made, but the Japa-
nese are sending a searching fire into
the hooks which are not observable
from 2O3-meter hill and other heights.
