Wednesday, Augnst 25th. , A epooial meeting of the Town Coun cil wafl called at 8 p. m. to consider the question of erecting the addition to the Waterworks building. There were present, Mayor Thomas, in tho phair, Heevo MoDougall, .Deputy Reeve Johnston, Councillors, Poreaythe, RoBe.Raines, Hicks, Itiddick and Fred Robinson. The Mayor stated tho object of. tho mooting. Mr. Hicks said tho Council was in structed to purchase two boilors which had been procured, and they wore also inn true, tod to put Up a building suitable for the. boilors. Tenders bad been re- (jeivod for the building as follows : Laing Bros, 3750; 0. M, Johnston, 8700; A. Parker, $0f>0 ; B. Cory, $603 ; but the last named tender wan with drawn. It was also intended to pnr- ohaso a pump, but wlien that was pro vided for thero would not be enough eft of the 93,000 to erect tho addition. Ho was not in favor of patching but be lieved in putting up a good substantial building. The committee did not care about taking the responsibility on thomnelves and aro thus leaving the matter with the wholo council. The Mayor stated that the bylaw provides only for $2,000 for improve ments to tho waterworks and.if tho building io put up at a cost of 8050 tho total cost so far would bo $1,050, so that thoro would ho nothing left for a pump. I |Mr_. Hiokn said at ilrst it was intend ed to build only a lonn-to, to the pro- aout building. The committee thor oughly examined the building and they could not hoo anything more ad- viHnblo than to build an addition. It seemed unfortunate that tho Council's' hands should bo tied, The Mayor thought tho tenders were high for tho work, Somo people woro satisfied that thoro was a combination in the matter of tho brick work for tho boilers. Mr. Foroaytho was sorry to bo op posed to tho majority of tho mombers of tho committee and would like, to have rt"nico building oh well as any 0110 but tho hands of tho Council aro tied. It would bo a shameful thing to expend the $2,000 provided and not bo any furthor ahead than boforo. In getting through the Ordor-in-Counoil it was promised that a now. engine should bo purchased so that tho, town would bo in a position to furnish tho M. O. R. with wdtor and thus incroaso the ro- unptH by about Si.000 a year. Ho thought a brick addition could bo built. for about $00 so that would leave about $400, for a pump. Ho mo vod that now plans bo drawn for a building at a cottt not to oxcood 9300. Mr. Hides thought the majority.of tho oitizons would opposo tho putting up of a rookery at tho roar of the pre sent building. It would bo diftlonlt to obnnpet an addition and tho main build ing. Mr. Boho thought what tho town wanted was water not a building. Mr. Johnston' would favor just put ting up a tomporury building so as to protect tho boilors and wait for another year boforo doing any more. The. May or wanted to know how they would justify their actions if any of tho oitizoUH called tho council to account for exceeding-tho powers grantod by tho Ordor-iu-Oounoil. Mr. Hicks thought they might just an well hayp asked for 80,000 as $5,000. Mr. Forsytho thought the average ratepayers would look at 'the question more from increased receipts for water works than tho kind of buildingput up. A pump would cost 9400, A lengthy diKbussion followed at tho ond of which the following, resolution was offered : Moved by Mr. Forsytho^ socondod by Mr. Johnston, that now piano bo drawn and toudovd called for* for n h-amo addition to waterworks building sufficient to cover now boilers and well, cost not to oxcood iJUOO. Tho-members woro all in favor of putting uf> a good building, but as the pump, was of more importance than having a fine building and they were limited in tho amount to bo expended in tho improvements,.it was concluded that putting up a -nice building at a oont of over $000 wus out of the quefi- Hlgh School Examinations. * _____ Below will be found the results, as announced by the Education Depart ment, in the rooent examinations of tho Third and Fourth Forms of the High Schools in the County. Lists of the marks of the unsuccessful candidates in the various form examinations will be forwarded before September 1st, to tho Principals of the High School cen tres and the Public School Inspectors in'the poses of the other centres. Cer tificates will follow to the same ad dresses in about two weeks. Candi dates need not therefore apply to tho Education Department, for either marks or certificates. BBSKX. Junior Leaving, L.

Mish Emtia Raimhh gave a vory pretty party to a number of hor frionds on Wednesday evoning. The time was pleasantly passed in games and other amusements. Aitaiiin and Ethel Laing, who have boon visiting for Ave wooks past with relatives and frionds in Niagara Falls, Wolland, St. Thomas, London and other places east, returned homo yester day (Thursday). Thh wheat market has boon very nervous this week, Tho first part of tho wook it took an upward move, as high as 01c. being paid on Tuosday, but on Thursday it had gouo down to 75o. To say what way it will move noxt would bo idle speculation ;-but we can say this that Essex has paid a high- or prico s> for by 80. per bushol than has boon paid in Toronto, Our buyers always pay tho top notch pricos. Towns was quite a fire in town on Friday morning last about one o'o'ook whon tho rosidonco of Frod Hyatt on Hor ovonuG was destroyed. How tho /lro started is a mystery as, when tho occupants of tho house first notiood it, it had got quite a Htart and could not be extinguished. Mrs. Hyatt and child ren wore with difficulty got out of tho burning building. An alarm was sounded and tho fire brigade turned out and in a short time had an excellent stream of water pouring on the build ing and thus provontod thoilames from spreading to neighboring houses. A quantity of tho household goods was gob out. The building was insured for $800 and tho.contonts for $200 but this will not nearly cover the loss. Drvmuw Court sittings woio hold boforo Judge MoHugh- in the town hall on Tuosday, the legal fratornity boiug represented by E. A. Wismor and W. H. Kenuody, of Essex, J. Xi. Peters, R F.

Huita, 0 judgment summonses, and 0 summons after default. In Boatty vs.Wilcox,'the suit ovor a dog in which the plaintiff had received judgment hufi subsequent ly applied for a . new trial, judgmont was roservod. The case of Church vs. Ontario Permanent Loan, Society oooupied some time the plaintiff sued for 840.25, thp, value of his stock in the tho association,and obtained judgment for 845. In Travers vs. Gi.lkinson with tho Essex Thoroughbred Horse Assb-1 pound-keeper and sued for $27.60 drain age fees, on oattle belonging to James Hicks, wbioh had been impounded at his place. The cattle had got into an other man's field, defendant olaimod the fences wero out of repair and called In the fence viewers who condom mod tho fence.

An all-wise creator has designed that men shall be tho homo-providers, and in this ago of science, education and competition, the above is a vory sorious condition for this community. There aro three main causes: truancy, running tho streets at night, and the hse of that nerve-ruining narcotic, tobacco,, by boys and their fathors.
