a shameful and disgusting action.

some of the jury commissioners who
are innocent of wrong doing, must
bear their share of tne public condem

A DEAD MAN’S KNIFE
CUTS DOWN MURDERER
A BICYCLE ROAD.
One Should be Built Down Middle of
Union Street.
The general concensus of opinion
seems to be that the bicycle ordinance
in regard to Union street should re
main in force, but there is a reasona
ble and general demand that a bicycle
path be constructed on Union street,
or that one or both of the driveways
should bo shelled.
Some provision should certainly be
made for wheelmen and women on
this popular thoroughfare, which, for
ladies especially is so far preferable to
Newcastle street for wneeling. It
would add grea, y to the appearance
of the street and it is high time Un
ion street should be shelled. As it is
now, with dusty, unsightly cinders
forming the drive and weeds growing
rank and noisome along the western
sidewalk, il is tar from being the at
tractive and well-kept place that the
principal residence street of the city
should Be. Lot the bicycle ordinance
stand, but shell the road and settle
the difficulty.

deceased wife's sister's daughter. This
action will be binding on all priests ol
the Angollcan church in Canada in the
solemnizing of marriage.

sage to the house of deputies asking
that it he adopted:
"No Clergyman within the Jurisdic
tion of the Church of England in Can
ada shall solemnize a marriage be
tween persons, either of whom shall
have been divorced from one who Is
living at the time of such solemniza
tion. ’
