LIGHT COM PA > I ES TAXED FOR POLES AND VS 1RES.PETiTP NED AGAINST VALUATION AND ONLY SKCl RED A REDUCTION.A special meeting of the Municipal Council of Ascot was held on Monday night at Lennoxville to consider several petitions for reduction of valuation and to homologate the valuation roll.Mayor Wm.Morris presided, and there were present Councillors Mitchell, McFadden, Hetu, A r mitage and Duford.ItTattend-anceMr.W.W.Baker, secretary-treas urer.The minutes of the previous special meeting were read and confirmed The Council then proceeded to consider the petition of the Bell Telephone Com nary and the North Hatley Electric Light Company, to have the valuation on their poles and wires removed, and also the petition of the British American Land Co., against the valuation of the dam on lots 3 and 4 on range 14.The Mayor also read a letter from the Nichols Chemical Company asking that the Council renew the same concession of ten years ago, and give exemption on the new property.Mr.C.W.Cate appeared for the Elec trie Company, Bell Telephone Co., and British American Land Co., while Mr Sphtf >rd re, resented the Chemical Co.Mr.Handcock, district manager of the Bell Telephone were also present.The fiist to be considered whs that of the Land Co.Mr.Cate stated that this dam in question had never been taxed he fore but w s now down on the ro’l at #2,000.Tin dam was constructed, he said, some years ago for the purpose of storing water.W hen the large w irks were put in at Msg.g it was feired that this would interfere with the supply of water for the various industries in v her brooke, and the Company at great ex pense had this dam eree'ed.Tnere was no water power at this point, and no ren tal wig derived from the dam.He thought the Council would be justified m taking it from the valuation roll, f ut if they agreed to put a figure it should only bo a normal sum.Mr.R W.Heneker also spoke against the high figure at which the dam wa^ assessed.The dam was put in, he said, in the interest of the large manufacturing concerns in Sherbrooke, as after the Print Works at Magog had been established he was afraid that circumstances might arise v>h reby there w uld be no water,and the industiies would have to cl «se down.He thought a nominal sum wi.uld be in tbe interests of all concerned.The Mayor stated that, they would consider all the cases before g vinga décision.Tb.j petition of the Bell Telephone Company wa< next considered.The petition asked th*.t thevalua ion of $RHK) be wiilidiawn as it was illegal to ta\ Mich proper y.Mr.Cate examined Mr Handcock who stated that he hf.d made a calculation and found that their win s and poles covered a distance of about eight miles and a half.Taking that properly as a going concern be considered that #7' 0 would bo a fair price.Mr.Davies was ex * mired by Mr.Cate for the Electric Co., who put in the same plea as in the former, ami whose asseFs-ment was also the same.The property vas purchased recently, said Mr.Cate, at a very much lower figure than it cost to erect it.Mr.Cate’s argument in both cases was that the valuation < f the property of both the companies was|illegal,in that before a c< mpany could be assessed they required to have real estate in the municipality imposing the taxation.The question of Nichol’s Chemical Company was also considered, and the Mayor s at'd that he thought it w s without the power of a Council to give exemption asecond time.Mr.Spafford thought that the Council should show some considérât ton to his company for they did much towards t»cne-fitting the farmers in this section of the country.The Council then considered the vari< us petitions and it was dee ded to reduce the valuation of the Chemical t o , $5,500 ; trial oi the B 11 Telephone Co., from #1,000 to #500 ; that of the Hatley Electric Light Co., from #1,000 ‘o $500 ; and that of British American Land Co,, from #2,000 to #1,500.Every Daÿ A Ba rgain Day.h , an Austrian prisoner to whom he ha t shown some kindness.Even his watch had to he sold at last.Rut.although in this sore strait, he could not bring himself to part with the chain which had been a gift to him from his wife not long before her death.There was still, however, one hope left for the poor old man.King Frederick was now back again in his palace at Potadaui, near Berlin: and.having by this time begun to get the affairs of his kingdom into some sort of order again, he was not so overwhelmingly busy as ho had been before.Perhaps some help might be* got from him.and, at all events.It was worth while to try.Tapfertnann’s first Idea was to draw up a memorial stating his case and send It to Frederick himself; but he then remembered that it would have to pass through several hands before reaching the king and might possibly never reach him at all.In any case he could not afford to wait long for an answer, being almost down to his last penny as It was, so he finally determined to present himself at the palace and see what would become of It.The very next morning, accordingly, the major smartened up his worn and faded uniform ns well as he could, and concealed the absence of his watch by fixing the chain in its usual place and keeping it there by attaching to one end of it the memorable "flattened bullet” of Torgau, which he had preserved as a souvenir ever since.Then, taking Ids stick in his hand, he set out for Potsda m.He had to do the whole hine miles on foot, the hire of a horse being far beyond his means, poor fellow, and when he reached the palace he was heated and covered with dust and altogether a very strange figure to appear at u king's levee, as the scornful glances of the smart officials plainly told him.Among these there was one mean and malicious fellow.Hugo von Wake-uitz by nasiie, who held the post of chamberlain of the palace, and.being mortally jealous of every one whom the king seemed Inclined to favor, and more especially of Frederick’s old officers.always did his best to keep them away from the royal presence.It happened hy ill luck that just as Major Tafpermann opened his uniform to adjust his chain (which he had got out of place in the course of this long march), tin* chamberlain, looking down from one of the windows, saw what he wa» aoout.The courtier’s quick eye detected at a glance that the chain had n bullet instead of a watch attached to it, and.far from pitying the old warrior’s poverty, as any true man would have done.HiN spiteful rogue at once resolved to get rid of him by .putting him to open shame before the whole assembled company And It really seemed ns if circumstances themselves had conspired to aid his cruel project, for when the* I made his appearance his first ren.» was: "My watch must surely be

, .1 sufficed to tell him the whole story.“Here is a watch for you.my old comrade, which will tell you the right time,” said Frederick, taking off Ids own watch and handing it to the major.“and that you may have n chance of using It in my service I give you a place in my household from this day forth, and as for you, you rascal.” ho Added, casting a terrible look at the discomfited chamberlain, “since you are mean enough to Insult an old man who has fought bravely for his king and country, get out of my sight, and never show your fact* here again!”— From the German.Very Sud.A lady writing from Victoria, British Columbia, to a friend in Detroit relates an amusing nqd at the same time pathetic story of her Japanese “help,” F»*ank.Going Into the kitchen, she found him at the window with a faraway, sad and distressed look on Ids little brown fact*.Being human and wishing.If possible, to be of service to him, she ventured to inquire the cause of his distress, saying.“What’s the trouble, Frank?” to which he mournfully made answer, with increasing emphasis as he neared the end of his woes: “1 am Just thinking.Mrs.Hunt; 1 have no money, no sweetheart snd no bierele.1 am very sad.”—Detroit Frva Tress.•.•&®$ STAR CLOTHING ^ WE SELL CLOTHING To Fit all Shapes of Men.The second city in the British Empire in size is Calcutta.It is stated that there *re in the United States no lesj than 4,000 millionaires whose pocket books each contain ail the way from 1 to 30 millions Returns compiled by Lloyd’s register of shipping shows that, excluding warships, there were 568 vessels of 1,386,367 tons gross under construction in the United Kingdom at the close of the quarter, which ended on 30th of Jant.j Short Stout Men, Tall Slim Men, the Dwarf and the Giant.From shoulder to curt, hip to ankfe, a fit all through.The reason tasily solved w hy we lead in thd Clothing busineas.let—We have the largest variety in the Townships to choose from.2nd—We buy all the newest and most up to date gcois cm the market.3rd We aim to please and give the best value to our patrons.4th — We keep in stc»ck all »he lines our co nu titors keep, with many high gride, stylish lines which have distinctive merit they do not keep.6th-We sell goods of equal merit cheaper thin any other store in Sherbrooke.0th —Money refunded if goods are not found satisfactory or exchanged for the right article.Oui 81 00 Colored Shirts reduced to 75c ; our 75c.Colored Shirts reduced to 50c ; our 50c.Colored shirts reduced to 39c.• Remember the Place.’SIGN OF THE STAR.ST AW VLQT223SG BALL J ROcENBLOOM & CO.Proprietore, P» Woffington street, Sherbr joke.NexJ.door #o Grand rentrai Hotel.•XfXSA?vSXSKfX* eVSK§)®®@ Hats : YOU «Rafale'S 'X1 £1 ID AC Ti e newest hhapon are the Rockftdler, Loubet, Kitchener, Mint3, Banner nil & 3harkey All a*k>V6 it muni H U* a* p i sm trim 11.25 11 $!

and for Mr.F.Lemieux, chief accountant.The complaint was made at the demand of the Minister of Finance, in the person of his chief clerk, Mr.Dickieaon.In substance, it accuses the three men of having issued to the G >vernment a f*lse statement, on July 11th.Any more details were not obtainable last night.Mr.M.Hutchison, who lus been retained for the prosecution, declined to make any comment upon the matter.At least one wa rant was served during the evening High Constable BLsonnette went out to Ba k River to the residence of Mr.Summerville Weir, where the late bank president is recruiting his health.The legal document was left in the hands of a reliable person, as the law says, but Mr.Weir, it is understood, was not informed of the turn of affairs for fear the shock would be too much for his tottering health When the officers of the law visited the residence of Mr.Smith he was not at home.Later, High Constable Bissoniittte left town, piesumahly for See.Anne de Bellevue, where the summer residence of Mr Lemieux is situated.In all probability, all three of the accused will be in charge of the law by this morning.It is explained that the reason that no more warrants were called for, is because the three mentioned in the forgoing were the persons who signed the alleged false statement, and therefore, they alone become responsible for its accuracy.ADMITTED TO BAIL.Montreal, Aug.18 — When Mr.Weir was imfornud yesterday morning by his son, of the action taken by authority from Ottawa, he remarked he was satisfied, as it was the best thing that could have lened to him.r.F.W.Smith, director, was before Magistrate Lafontaine yesterday and pleaded not guilty, and the case was aj turned until August 24th.Meanwhile bail was accepted in a personal bond of 85,001) and two sureties of 82,000 each.Mr Weir was bound in a bond of 82 000 to ap[>ear before the court on the same date.Mr.F.L»mieui, accountant, was arrested in Qiebec yesterday and placed under arrest.He will be brought back to Montreal s me time to-day.would not forego an inch.A staff corresponlent of the Chicago Tribune, writing from Ottawa, says;

COURT WILL NOT BE ADJOURNED.JUDGES APPEAR TO BE PREJUDICED AG AINST PRI-.ONER.Rennes, August Iff —The general impression left by t ) day’s proceedings in the Dreyfus court martial is unfavorable, owing to the absence of such cr- ss exam inations as Labori would hawe submitted M.Lebon and M.Guerin to, and owi» g to the fact that General Roget’n arguments received no reply.This, however, it is hoped will be changed so pc what when M.Demange cross questions him to morrow.alth ugh M.Dcmange cannot be said up to the present to have shown up to any great advantage.The decision of Col Jouaust not to ad j *urn the court until Monday, as applied for by Dreyfus’s counsel, has als > created a bad impression in Dreyfusard circles, and pessimistic predictions are being made as to the outcome of the trial.It is pointed out that the decision of the members of the court not to adj -urn being unanimous, shows that not one of the judges is well-disposed towards the prisoner.The feature of the day was the story of the sufferings of Dreyfus on Devil’s Island, his prison off’ the c >ast of Guiana.Dreyfus wept when the clerk read a d c iimut recounting the details of his incarceration.The proceedings opened with the application of M.Demange for an adj >urn-ment.This was followed by the deposition of VI.Guerin, the former minister of justice, who, however, only repeated the questions he had given bef >re the Court of Cassation.SHE IS A CANADIAN.Halifax, Aug.Iff -Though the cowardly shooting of the counsel of Capt.Dreyfus, attracts much attention in tbe Dominion, as in all part* of the civilized world, there is an additional reas >n why Canadians should feel ».particular interest in the dreadful affair.Madame Labori, the wife of the victim, is a Canadian.She is a daughter of Captain O’Key, of Kent vide, Nova Scotia, and her sister is married to Dr.Woodworth, of Kentville.Captain O’Key, is quite well to do and the family has travelled a good deal in Europe, consequently it is altogether likely that it was in Paris that Mad une Labor , then Miss O'Key, met the distinguished man, now her husband.Time for the Emperor to Speak.GERMAN GOVERNMENT COULD SETTLE DREYFUS CASE.Rennes, August Iff —The feeling is growing stronger daily, especially since M.Labori has been placed hors de combat, that the time his come for Emperor William, in the interest of universal justice, to sweep away ail doubts in any one’s mind, by disclosing the decisive facts which are undoubtedly in possession of his Government.He could settle the case once and for ever by sending the documents, letters, etc., which the German agents received in large numbers from Henry, Esterhazy, and as many believe, from others of the General Staff’ The German press is urging this, especially since General Mercier and ex-Pre-sident Casimir Perier gave their testimony and their is some hope that it will be done before the trial is finished.SITUATION JNGHAhGED Matters Look Serious.BRITISH WAR OFFICE READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY.London, August Iff—The Transvaal situation is unchanged, according to latest obtainable official information, but the continued delay of the Boer answer to Great Britain’s demand f ira joint inquiry as to the effect upon the Uitlandors of the proposed franchise reform measures makes matters look more serious.The War Office has completed its preparations for an emergency force of 20,000 men to be ready to leave within a week.Fast steamers for their transport are waiting orders.| Jit is said that the Grenadier Guards, now at Gibraltar, and the 21st Lancers, now in Egypt, may be sent to South Africa, in addition to the other regiments, which have already been ordered there.P etoria, Aug Iff—The British agent here denies the stories that fresh com-municatioTls have been addrecsed by Grea: Britain to Transvaal Government, or that there have been any m difications of the British demands.London, Aug.iff.—The Lhiüy Chronicle, which regards General Butler’s virtual dismissal as, ‘An indication that the country is b ing hurried into war,’ says: ‘His offence was that he spoke rough words of irith about that precious organization, the South African League We are convinced that ho acted for tin honor and clear interest of the Empire.’ The Daily Moil says that General Lord Wolseley, the commander-in chief, h\s sanctioned a hundred
