Hal'ch In England for all That Can be Forwarded. A despatch from Ottawa says :-â€"-Mr. Peter Barr, of London. England. who is making a tour of the world, is here. Mr. Barr had an interesting talk with Prof. Robertson, Commissioner of Dairying and Agriculture, on the sub- ject of British market for Canadian fruit. He has had large experience in the fruit trade. He believes Canadian grown grapes canbeworked into high favor in England. but it must be done by popularlzlnlg the grape among the industrial classes, and as dealers will not handle them, this can only be brought about, he says. by direct methods. His plan is to have the Govâ€" ernment send overallve, reliable man to London, who will place the grapes with the hucksters. In having them sold in sixâ€"penny to shilling boxes, the fruit will be brought within the reach of a. class who have never cultivated that taste for the English grape which is detrimental to the sale of most im- ported varieties. In time. however, even the wealthier classes would begin to use them. for, as Mr. Barr says. the Canadian grape is far superior to the Spanish and Portuguese grapes now so larger consumed in England.

For the last 16 years he did not sleep an hour in his bed. Constant devotion to business was the cause of his sleeplessnes. He was known to remain in his factory uptolfi years ago as late as 4and 5 o'clock in the morning, and when he would seek rest he found it impossible to sleep. At that time he practically relieved himself of business cares. For the greater part of the last ten years it was his custom to take daily trips to Chicago to pass the time away in street car riding. At night hewas always to be found either atatheatre or billiard hall, which were the only ‘places where he was able to get a short nup,the music atthe theatres and the (:lirking ofthe billiard balls alone lullâ€" ;ing him to sleep.

A despatoh from Cincinnati, 0., says: â€"~An effort is being made by the Ches- apeake and Ohio railroad officials to improve the sanitary conditions of the stations and the passenger coaches by issuing an order tabooing tobacco- chewing.

The Victim's Identity ls Unknownâ€"The Two Men (luau-rolled. one Struck the other, and was Deliberater Kllled. A despatch from Paris. Ont., says: â€"Daniel Stevens, a trump, is under ar- rest, charged with the murder of a fellow-tramp, whose identity is un- known. Stevens shot his companion in the mouth in the station yard about 2.30 Tuesday afternoon. A’ quartette of tramps were hanging around the do- pot awaiting an outgoing freight. when a dispute arose, and the man now dead struck Stevens. The latter whipped out a revolver and fired, the ball pass- ing through the victim‘s head. Th0 murderer ran, and threw his weal)!“I down the water closet, but the others remained with the wounded man and assisted in carrying him into the bag- gage-room, where he died in ten min- utes. Stevens gives his age as 24. de' scribes himself as " a tramp, with n0 abode." and is apparently totally un- concerned at his arrest. James Walker. 3 third member of the party, is also held by the police as a. material wit- nws. _ . STORY. OF THE CRIME. The story of the crime was told by one of the two eyeâ€"witnesses of the tra‘ gedy. Norman Lamb. a bright intelli- gent boy of 12. He sald:â€"“ Ernest Stewart and I saw the shooting. We had been in the waiting room, where a curlyâ€"headed tramp was making fun for us with a nickel. The curlyâ€"headed man went out. and the tall man, who was shot, came rushing in cursing and‘ swearing. He went up to the curlyn headed fellow and asked him some-l thing. I did not hear what. The an- swer was, ' I did not see him.‘ Just then a man in a velvet cap came walking up the track and the tall man ran to meet him. \Vhen they came together he struck at him. The man in the cap had one hand in his coat pocket, and as the other struck him he pulled out a revolver and fired. The tall man fell and the other ran up the track. I saw Mr. Hume, the station agent. arrest ‘him, and I told Mr. Hume he had the man who did the shooting." Station Agent Hume corroborates the boy's story. He had put the murdered man out of the station, on account of his profane language. He declared he had been robbed of his money. and he was going to get even. The shooting took place a. few minutes subsequently. SHOW IN THE MJOUTH. The bullet entered the mouth. knock- lng out twu teeth, and was found em- bedded behind the ear. The reyglver jg a short-barreled British bulldog. 82 calibre, and when recovered by the po- lice had two chambers loaded and one containing an empty shell. Walker, the alleged companion of Stevens. denies all knowledge of the murder. but the police state that four tramps came up fmm Brantford the evening previous and slept in a. barn near the station after robbing the bermom of Milton's hotel. Tuesday morning all four got drunk on the three bottles of Whiskey stolen, and the murder was evidently the outcome of a quarrel. The police are searching for the curly-headed tramp. as he is wanted for burglary in Brantford» \Vord was received that he had been put off the mail train at St. George, and his arrest is looked for.

From Chums, A despatch from Vancouver says:â€" Seven interior Indians. headed by Taku Jack. and accompanied by a Chilian named Richard Palacio. arrived at Lake Bennett two weeks ago, and re- corded all manner of claims on two creeks, which they called Sheep and Moose. They paid the location fees in gold. which they claimed had been taken from the claims. They had with them nuggets of considerable weight and value. They left Lake Bennett im- mediately, and came over the White Pass trail to Skaguay, arriving there Monday a week ago. They said nothing. but spent money. The In- diuns have been missing from their ‘usual camp all summer, and their friends say lhey have been prospect- ing for gold. “Chilinn Dink," as Pala- . aim is known, has also been away from (he. established camp for some time.
