Sir Frederick was not "sum- moned" to Balmoral. He went there on a personal visit to the King, which is so far removed from any urgent professional summons that the London papers of Thursday last announced that “Sir Frederick Treves will leave for Balmoral on a visit to the King on Saturday." - Sir Frederick, who was surgeon-in- ordinary to his Majesty when Prince of Wales, has since that time been a friend of the King, and has joined the party at Balmoral. Through the Week his Majesty appeared in the best of health and spirits, di- viding his time between outdoor life and discussions with Premier Bal- four and others regarding the com- position of the new Cabinet. A Washington, Pm, (it-rpntch says: â€"0ne of the most fiendish murders and robberies in the history of Washâ€" ington County occurred on Friday afternoon on the Middletown Road, about 15 miles from here. Sampel '1‘. Ferguson, of the Ferguson Conâ€" struction Company, of Pittsburg, was instantly killed, and his secreâ€" tary, Charles L Martin, of Cincin- nati, was fatally injured. The two men were driving a,long the road in a buggy, carrying $3,000 in cash with which to pay off some of their men employed on construction work along the line of the Wabash Railâ€" roald. When suddenly an explosion of dynamite in the roadway literally tore the rig to pieces, killed Fergu- son outright, and throwing Martin 200 feet, tearing his left arm almost from the socket. It has been learnâ€" ed that two men supposed to be Poles placed the dynamite in the road for the purpose of killing Pay- master Ferguson, and had arranged to explode it by means of an electric battery. The satchel containing the money is missing. No Truth in Rumors Caused by Sir Frederick Treves’ Visit. Calvesâ€"The demand was fairly ac- tive, and about all were sold. Quoâ€" tations are unchanged at 4c to 5120 per 11)., or $2 to $10 each. Sheep and Lambsâ€"The run of sheep was heavy, but the demand was fairly good and everything was disposed of. Sheep are quoted un- changed at $2.50 to $3.50 per cwt. for exporters and $2 to $3 for culls. Lambs are firmer at $2.50 to $3.50 each, or $3.75 to $4 per cwt. Hogsâ€"The run was heavy, and the market had an easier tone. Quota- tions are unchanged at $5.90 per cwt for selects and $5.65 for lights and fats. Dealers say the prospects are for lower prices. DYNAMITE UNDER BUGGY . Two Men With Cash vies Blown Milch Cowsâ€"The run was fair and all were sold. There is a good (11% mand for the better class of cows, and not many of this kind are com- ing forward. The range of prices was about $30 to $50 each. Stockers and Feedersâ€"There was a slightly better trade in stockers, ow- ing to the larger supply on the marâ€" ket. There was some demand for them, and prices were Well mainâ€" tained. ,One firm expressed themâ€" selves as open to buy 2,000 head of feeders at weights ranging from 950 to 1,100 lbs. Quotations run from $2.25 to $8.50 per cwt. Feeders were inclined to be scarce, and prices had a. firmer feeling at $3 to $4 per cwt. ‘ Butchers’ Cattleâ€"The run was inâ€" clined to be large, but the sprinkling of good wellâ€"bred cattle was light. These latter were in good demand, and prices for them had a firmer tone. There was, however, a fairly good demand for the others, and nearly everything Was sold at prices about steady with 'those of Tuesday. Picked lots ran at $4.40 to $4.50, choice at $4.10 to $4.25, fair to good at $3.75 to $4, rough to com- mon at 32.25 to $3.10 and cows at $2.50 to $3.50. Export Cattle.â€"The embargo has been removed from the eastern States, and cattle can be shipped from Portland and Boston, and, as a. result, there is a, better demand for export cattle. But to-day's run of this class was light, and trade on this account was quiet. Everything ofiering was sold, but as there were few very good cattle on the market quotations for these are nominal. Extra choice cattle are quotable at $4.70 to $4.80, choice at $4.40 to $4.60, others at $4.20 to 84.30, and cows at $2.50 to $3.75. was mostly composed of butchers’ cattle. In this line trade was good, and, despite the many ofiering, pric- es were Well maintained. There is a better demand for export cattle, and prices are steady. Trade in other lines was fairly good and quotations are about steady. The run totalled 73 cars, and included 1,073 cattle, 2,058 sheep and lambs, 1,100 hogs and 31 calves.

As far as known no lives were lost, but all the people of Frank have deserted the town again, and are being hurried to other towns nearby. The slide oc- curred just as a passenger train was nearing Frank, and as quickly as possible the brakes were applied and the train backed for several miles. After waiting some hours the train was run to Frank, and many of the terrified people, who were huddled together at the station, were taken on board. â€" KILLED SIX HUNDRED.

A Cornwall despatch says: A small- sized hurricane struck Cornwall about 12.15 on Sunday, but strange to say the only damage reported was to the fine new factory of the Cornwall Furniture Company. near the G. T. R. depot. The wind lifted off a section of the roof, about 70 by 30 feet, and blew down 70 feet of the brick wall of the top storey. The water pipes were broken, and 3. del- uge of water poured through the building from the roof to the ground floor. The section of roofing was carried some distance out in the The Turâ€" Ward. ‘ A London despatch says :â€"America ‘is now reaping great benefits from ‘the storms which made the past summer one of the worst on record in Great Britain and the Continent. The sales last week in London mark- ed the record, with 27,000 boxes of American fruit. The prices averag- ed 30 per cent. above what has hereâ€" tofore obtained here.

Forty-two tLhOU‘ sand barrels of Canadian apples are expected in London at the end of this week, and record prices are as- sured. Another Immense Slide From Tur- tle Mountain. A London despatch says: The King is exercising his prerogatives to an extent unheard of in the Victorian era. His Majesty is said to oppose the formation of a new Cabinet un- til thoroughly satisfied with its per- sonnel. Premier Balfour's continu- ed presence at Balmoral lends color to this impression. In such a de- gree is King Edward holding his power of veto in reserve that now he is almost regarded by the inner cir- cles as more the Cabinet maker than Mr. Balfour himself. With his usual tact, the King has expressed his genuine desire, amounting almost to a command, that steps be taken to remedy the scandals in the army adâ€" ministration revealed by the report of the South Afl'ical War Cainniisâ€" sion, and insisting that the new Cahinet shall be one adapted to deal with that question.

"The deposit occurring at this point is too extraordinary to be discussed Within the compass of this letter, but, in brief, it may be said that coal of excellent quality occurs on both sides of the Abittihi River, and sometimes at great thickness. At several points it was 24 feet thick, and if I remember rightly, it appears continuously, as shown by our test pits, for some 350 feet on the west side, and again higher up on the same shore for about as much again. The outcrop on the opposite bank is much smaller. Unâ€" fortunately no boring operations could be conducted in the interior owing to the thick coating of bould- ers overlying. "At three distinct points boring operations were carried on, but at no place were these successDul save at Blacksmith Rapids, and even there not. comparable with the Som- eska.

Calgary Man Explains How They Are Handicapped.

The steamers intended for the trade are the Monâ€" tezuma, Milwaukee, Mount Royal, and Montreal, with a capacity of about 11,000 tons each. These boats comprise the London service, and on their outward trips will call at Ant- werp for cargo, which will be dis- charged at St. John, N.B., during the winter months. The soldiers stood by While the mob was plundering and committing all sorts of excesses. One could hear the shrieks of the women and children from the streets, which the patrols blocked against help from the Jews outside. Some of the Jews tried to force their way down one of the side streets, and the sold- iers shot six of them dead. Gomel has 26,000 Jews out of a. total pop- ulation of 40.000. A London despatch says :â€"Accordâ€" ing to a despatch to the Times, the trouble at Gomel on September 12th was almost as bad as Kishineff. The Jews attempted to get together to protect themselves and were forced back by the soldiers from the streets where the plundering was going on. The soldiers beat and arrested those not obeying forthwith. Total ............ $54,950,000 The one problem that confronts farmers is how to get their grain to shipping ports.

Last year at this time the officials say a great deal of grain was on its way to the seaports, and the condition of affairs this year may result in a grain blockade.
