E.Gagnon, incest, true bill ; and H.Gauthier rape, true bill.The Grand Jury then retired to prepare their presentment.The prisoners Gagnon and Gauthier were arraigned and pleaded not guilty.The Grand Jury then returned to Court and through their foreman, A.M.Greenshields, handed in the following presentment :— We have given to the bills, seven in number, which have been presented to us for consideration our earnest attention, doing our utmost to fulfil in that respect our duties and obligations to the best of our ability.We regret to say that in three of the cases submitted to us, some of the principal witnesses for the Crown did not appear and, that, owing to the circumstance* of those cases there is a strong presumption that those witnesses have been induced to keep away to frustrate the ends of justice ; we wou’d recommend that if it is possible to do so, those witnesses should be punished as well as those who were instrumental in kei ping thtm away.As the honorable Judge presiding over this tribunal has said in his opening remarks, it is a m *tter of congratulations for the D strict that the number of cases are so few, taking Into consideration that a whole year has elapsed since the closing of the last term.We have visited the jail of the District and have found it kept scrupulously clean and everything in first class shape and order.We venture to recommend, if it is in our attii mtions to do so, that proper measures be taken as scon as possible by the proper authorities to have railway gates put at the railway crossings in the city of Sherbrooke, in order to prevent further accidents, these crossings being as they now are, very dangerous to the lives of the people of the town and of the district having to travel o them.We would also draw the attention of the municipal authorities of Sherbrooke to the danger arising to the travelling pub ic from the low and weak railings of the Magog Bridge on Commercial Street and should also recommend that Wolfe Street Bridge be examined as to its security.We express the hope that the Government will not delay much longer the erection of the new Court House, as the present one is totally unfit for the proper administration of justice in this District.In conclusion, we desire to offer our m »st sincere thanks to the honorable president of the tribunal for the clear and intelligible manner in which our duties were defined, also to the Crown Prosecutors and to the officers of the Court for the kindness shown to us during our sitting.Judge Lemieux,in dismissing the Grand Jury, s'il that the presentment would receive due consideration from the Court and he would take the first opportunity to submit the conclusions to the proper authorities, especal’y with regard to building a new Court House, to the Provincial Legislature.The Court begs to thank the Grand Jury for the attention they had shown in the discharge of their du’ies.“Your farther attendance is no more requested and you are now discharged.’’ Harry B.Bell and Daniel Masten, were then placed in the dock charged with picking Mr.Wm.Farwell’s pocket on board a car at the Grand Trunk Railway depot on May 24th last.They were represented by Messrs L.C.Belanger, Q.C., for Bell, and John Leonard for Mast* n.The following jury were sworn : -Wil liamPatterson, PierreHouIe, M.Malorin, Norman Morrison, D.Lafrance, J.L.Sorely J.Molway, R.Parker, S.A.Olney, Fred Powers, C.Therrien, J.Reignie Mr.J.E.Genest, representing the Crown addressed the Jury, and went over the case.Mr.William Farwell, general manager of the Eastern Townships Bank, was the first witnesa.He went over the same evidence as that which appeared in the Examiner at the preliminary examination.In cross-examination by Mr.Belanger he stated that he believed the two prisoners stole his wallet from his pocket.There was an old man on the car who he believed was the receiver of the stolen valuables.Masten deliberately blocked the passage.High Constable Moe was the next witness.He retold the the story of the arrest as given at the investigation before Julge Mulvena.Mr.Hall of the Sherbrooke House was the last witness for the day and the Court adjourned at half past five.The first witness examined in the Bell Masten pocket picking case this morning waa W.Nutt, who waa acting as clerk in in the Sherbrooke house on the morning in question, and who swore to seeing the accused register on the arrival of the ! Boston à Maine morniog train.Lai»t evening about half paît five o’clock a mt sssge was received at the Central Fire Station to the vti'ect that the barns on Wm.MorrL’a farm on the Leniiox-Road w«-re on fire and asked that assistance lie sent.Chief Davidson immediately despatched a hose waggon and the engine from No.3 station to the scene.Before the arrival of the Jetachment the tire had gained great headway, and all etf irts were conceu*rated towards saving a portion of the barn in which was stored a large (|U«ntity of grain Tho other portions of the barn were destroyed with a Urge quantity of hay and grain The horse and cattle hams were also destroyed The origin of the fire is somewhat of a mystery.The only one who is able to give any information relative to the case is the servant girl.Her story is somewhat as follows : Shortly after four o’clock yesterday afternoon, the story goes, the servant girl was in the kitchen following some domestic work, when a tramp appeared at the window and demanded that he be admitted.This the girl refused.She proceeded towards the other side of the kitchen with the intention of going outof a window for the purpose of apprising the two farm hands who were at work in the woods at the rear of the house.When about the centre of the kitchen a Urge stone came crashing through and struck her on the head.The man disappeared and the next thing she saw was the tramp lake one of the horses out of the barn and also the covered wagon and go down the roadfrom the house, and when some distance away he hitched the horse to the rail and left the waggon beside it Returning, he took some strav from the barn and laid it on the road and set it on fire.She did not see him again until after Mrs.and Miss Morris had returned.In the meantime Mrs.and Miss Morris hid returned from a long drive.Miss Morris on arriving at the house was sur prised to seethe horse out on the road, and going into the house found the girl in an excited state.On learning the above facts from her she telephoned to Chief Davidson, who advise her to also call up Constable Duudin at Lennoxville.Instead of using the telephone Miss Morris hitched up the horse which the tramp had taken out of the barn and proceeded towards Lennoxville.She had only left a few minutes when smoke was seen to come from that portion of the barn immediately above the cattle sheds.Just at that time the servant girl said to Mrs.Morris th it she saw a man running out of the barn and acros* tho fields, but Mrs.Morris failed to see him.The farm hands endeavored to stem the onrush of the Himes until the arrival of the brigade, who with a plentiful supply of water succeeded as stated above in saving a portion of the building.The description given of the tramp was that of a thick set man, and be was stated to have been seen going down the track towards Sherbrooke.Chief Davidson and High Constable Moe went up to the Morris residence in the evening and have now the case in hand.SHERBROOKE PLOUGHMEN’S ASSOCIATION At a meeting of the above Association held at Lennoxville last night, it was decided to hold the ant.ual ploughing match on the 13th of this mouth on the farm occupied by Mr.Clement, Capleton.The merchants and others of Sherbrooke have again contributed to the fund so liberally that the executive are again able to maintain the prize list similar to tint of last year.The Government also gives a bonus of 850.Mr.R.s -, • f Howick, and Mr.John Lemoine, of the Model Farm, Compton, were appointed judges.There will be a large meeting in the evening in the Town

feet farther back than is the present intention.1 *The deputation were favorably received and the president stated that views of the deputation would receive due consideration from the Board.CONCERT AT ST.ANDREW’S CHURCH.The anniversary concert given Monday night in St.Andrew’s Church lecture Hall was a finale to the successful ai d interesting services of Sunday.The jpro gramme rendered was one of the best yet given and the soloists rendered their parts in a mo«t pleasing and sitisfactory manner, as did Misses Greenshields and Bartlett in their piano duet The principal part of the programme was borne by the friends from Montreal—Rev.Dr.Barclay in two entertaining readings, the first a pathetic selection from the Bonnie Brier Bush entitled “The Return of Flora Lach lan,” and the second a very amusing piece from Barrie's “Widow in Thrums,” both of which were greatly enjoyed.Mr.Samuel Dunn, who has a very powerful and cultured bass voice, sang with telling effect “Deep in the Mine,” by Jude, “Forging the Anchor,” by Rodney, responding to encores in both, and also sang with Miss Clark in two duets.Miss Clark has a sweet and well devel oped soprano voice and sang with ease and precision, which greatly pleased the audience and merited the encores received.Miss Wadley sang a solo in excellent taste an 1 Mr.Arthur Fraser gave two solos in his usual faultless manner.It is always a pleasure to hear him, and the encores were well deserved.The concert was very good and everybody seemed to thoroughly enjoy every item of the program me.PERSONALS.Mr.James A.Cochrane, of

command of columns.A complete plan of campaign has been arranged with the Orange Free State.A rigorous censorship is maintained over all press telegrams.President Kruger addressed the troops which started for the Natal border on Saturday, appeal!r g to their patriotism, and wishing them Godspeed.FIGHTING BY WEDNESDAY.Fighting is expected by Wednesday.The rumour that fighting had already commenced seems to originate at the Woolwich arsenal.Matters are at a standstill and practi cally no despatches from South Africa have been received this morning.The Morning Post again complains editorially that, although the Government put the hands to the plough in July, October has arrived without visible progress having been made, and the paper abks what they are waiting for, and expresses the opinion that the expectant attitude maintained is hardly consonant with the high sounding words that have been used.It U understood that the Colonial Office received a despatch from Sir Alfred Milner, British High Commissioner for South Africa, yesterday, the contents of which, however, have not betn made public.The Daily Chronicle says it has reason to believe that the formation of a naval brigade is contemplated.The Chronicle, which has lately been advocating the policy of sending an imperial commisFioner—suggesting for the post the Marquis of Dutferin and Av - to meet President Kruger and try to arrange matters, t- -3ay argues that the ministers now see the mischief which Mr.^ A DUO I Chamberlain has brought upjn the (jAiIjO* country." 1 No confirmation is obtainable from any source of the report contained in a despatch in the Exchange Telegraph Company that the B »ers have captured Dundee.IN GOVERNMEFT CIRCLES.No exceptional activity was shown at the Government offices today.Mr.Chamberlain and the Earl of Selborne were absent from the Colonial Office, but Lord Lansdowne and General Lord Wolseley and General Sir Evelyn Wood were busily engaged at the War Office.General Sir Redvers Duller called at the War Office this afternoon and a special b ard meeting was held.Nothing of the discussion was made public, but it is understood that General Duller will not proceed for the Cape until next week unless in case of unforeseen developments.Many members of Paliament are returning to town in anticipation of an earlv summoning of the houses of Parliament.It is the general imprtssion that, although some speakers may express disapproval of the Government policy, And his friends who will visit the SHERBROOKE few will go to the extreme of voting * - against the required credit.It is considered more probable that they will abstain from partcipating in a division.AS JOHANNESBURG.The advice from Johannesburg say no commandeering took place there Saturday.They add that many of the Boers are anxious to leave and that many of the young men are forming a corps of civilian police and are acting ia conjunction with the Merchants’ Association The town is quiet.The Merchtmts's Committee announce that British subjects under a permit, will be allowed to remain and that consular letters and passports will be accepted if the persons presenting them are of good character.THE BAVARIAN CHARTERED.London, Oct.2.- The British Government is chartering a large number of steameis evidently for the purpose of transporting %n army corps.About forty vessels are to be chartered and the Steamer Pavonia, of the Cunard line, and the Bavarian of the Allan line are among those already taken.SIMPLY WONDERFUL Are The Résulté of Dr Von Stan’s Pineapple ablets in all Disorders of the Stomach.No one need now endure the tortures cf indigestion and dyspepsia.Within reach all is an unfailing remedy which enables s person to get the full benefit of the food eaten.The pineapple liberally yields a component known as vegetable pepsin, a product second only to the human digestive secretions in its power of digesting food.Introduced into the human system it is simply imcomparable as a natural aid to the digestive apparatus.Dr.VonStan’s Pineapple Tablets are mainly composed of this grand fruit juice.They cure indigestion and dysoepia

meeting of the City Council was held on Moi.d’iy night in the Council Chamber.Msyor H.R.Fraser presided, and there were present Councillors McManamy, Cate, Worthington, Hebert, Belanger, Olivier, Fuller, LeBaron, Jenckes, Fortier.In attendance, Mr.F J.Griffith, assistant secre ary tre«sueer.The minutes of the former meeting were read and contirmtd.Before proceeding with the regular business the presentation of ihe medal from the Royal Canadian Humane Society to William Henry South wood for saving Frank Dion from drowning in the river Magog on August 16th last was made by the Mayor.In presenting the medal the Mayor said that he had a very pleasing duty to perform that night, at the request of the Royal Canadian Humane Society.He read a letter from Mr.Browne, the presi dent of that association, asking him to act on their behalf and to invite Mr.J.R.Woodward, R.H.Pope, M.P , to be present as they had taken an active part in securing recognition for young South-wood.The Mayor then give a brief out line of the formation of the Association and its objects.Thiy were well aware that such an institution was in existence in the Mother Land, of which Her Majesty the Queen was the patron.In 1895 an Association following on the same lines was formed in Canada and called the Royal Canadian Humane Association.His Excellency, the Earl of Aberdeen was appointed patron and Mr.Brown, the president, which position he holds to-day.The object of the Asiociation was to recognize acts of bravery such as are recognized by the Humane Society.It included rescue from drowning, boat accidents, railway accidents, ice accidents Ac.1 ney would notice that the first meutioe o 1 the list was that of drowning.\ would appear that on the 16:h of Augr last a mere child named Dion, while playing at the rear of Mr.McBain’s block,fen into the water.It was impossible for anyone on that side of the river, as they r’l knew, to go to his rescue.Our young »iend Southwood was going down Water Street, and his attention having been called to the acciden', with great presence of mind and unusual bravery, especially in so young a man, rushed to the north side of the river, divested himself of clothing as he ran, and swam across the $ ‘.ver at a point above the dam, and sived the child, when he had gonejdown several times and was on the point of drowning.Owing to the interest taken in the matter by Mr.J.R Woodward and others the attention of the Canadian Association was called to the very brave act, and the result was that by an unanimous vote of the In Aestigating Governors the bronze medal given in cases where life is saved at the risk of the life of the rescurer, was awarded.That medal was sent to him (the M tyor) and the inscription on it read as follows : “Awarded to William Henry Southwood for saving from drowning Frank Dion, in the River Magog, 16th of August, 1899 It was deemed advisable that a public presentation should he made and it was uucided to make the presentation at meeting of the Council, and the citiz uis were asked to be present.He had invited Mr.J.R.Woodward and Mr.R.H.Pope.He was pleased to see Mr Woodwaid present and he had a letter from Mr.Pope stating that it would give him much pleasure to be present.He had given the details connected with the atfair.He believed that this Whs the first time that a medal of this kind had been presented in this city.He was sure that the members of the Council and citizens were pioud of the conspicu ous bravery and presence of mind exhibi ted by their young friend on that occasion and as Mayor it gave him very great pleasure on behalf of the Royal Canadian Humane Associationjto present this medal to young Southwood, and at the same time to convey to him the appreciation of the citizens for this brave act.He would ask Mr Southwood to accept along with the medal a small ch» que from the city as a mark of appreciation on the part of the citizens They did not pretend and he did not fora m iment wish it understood that they were paying for this noble act.It was the only w*y the city had of recog-n zing such a deed.He asked him to accept the medal and cheque with the thanks of the citizens of Sherbrooke.( applause ) illiam Henry Southwood replied in a word.He thanked the Mayor for the kind words he used in presenting him with the medal and chtque.He was much obliged to the gentlemen who had interested themselves in his behalf.He thanked them ail for the gift from the city.Mr.J.R.Woodward saida few words relative to the case, and in concluding his remarks made a s?rong plea for a swim ming bath.He thought the younger generation were growing up without a knowledge of swimming.They were prohibited from ha* hing in the river within the city limits and some provision, he thought, should be made for their learn ing to swim.Councillor Fortier endorsed the remarks m ide by the Mayor.The Mayor—Mr.Wocdward’s remarks * ith regard to a swimming bath should receive the attention of the Council.Mr Cate remarks that it should be left with the Water Committee.Councillor Jenckes- We will provide the wa‘er all right, (laughter.) Councillor Worthington—And the Maiket Committee will provide a site— (laughter.) The regular business was then proceeded with.REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.The report of Committees were then dealt with.Councillor McManamy re-| port?d that his department had $959 04 1 opt of in appropriation of $10,000 for ordinary woiK and $551 22 out cf an appro-i priât ion of $10,000 for permanent work.1 They had not a large aum, he said, to carry on the work of the department for the newt two moutha, but he would endeavor to get along as they had aeversl act* >unth which they would pretent to some of the other dep*rtments which w u'd help them out.Councillor Belanger reported that the Fire Committee b»u agreed to have the pole bel nging to the People’s Telephone Company, removed fjom opposite »he Kerr block on King Street.He inked that the report be ad p‘cd.Councillor V.eBaron gave in the Police Committee report.During the m< nth only 31 arres’.s had been made, which he thought was a very g od showing seeing that their Exhibition was held in September.and large numbers of visitors were in the city then.Councillor Hebert reported that there were 16 deaths during the mon h, and only one case of contagious disease re* p r ed.The Sanitary Committee had considered the petition of the Rand Drill Company for a sewer and it was decided to grant the petition provided the Company would pay half the cost of laying the pipe.The Company, 8!«id Councillor Hebert, had agreed to this and the work would be pr« ceeded with at once.The petition of J.H.Keller and others abking for a sewer on Quebec Street be not granted.AFTER THE STREET RAILWAY.Councillor McManamy said that be had a letter from the Shecbrooke Street Railway Company along with an account of 50 for moving poles on King Street.He had made enquiries and was informed that no other company in the city had asked the city to pay for the removal of poles when asked to do so by the cry.He thought it was rather small on < be part of the Company to present such an account.“They were a nuisance »tiy way ’ said Mr.McManamy, “and should not ask payment for such a small obligation of the kind and I will move that this account be referred back to the Company, stating that the city did not propose to pay for moving poles.” Councillor LeBaron—Did the city tell them to move it.The Mayor—Supposing we had asked them.Councillor McManamy—The other companies have never asked to bo paid ai d he did not think that they should create a precedent with the Street Railway.Councillor Fortier explained how ic was that the poles had to be moved when the sidewalk was being put in at this end of the Aylmer Bridge.The poles were fir-t put in one place and then in another.Councillor McManamy—We have come here time and again to accommodate the S reet Railway and left our business to d » so, and now they come forward with a paltry atlair of this kind.He thought the Company should not be so sharp, as they had foif- ited their charter several times by tut complying with the by-law.Councillor LeBaron—What action is being taken with regard to the resolution of the Council bearing on the Street Railway track.Councillor McManamy—I may tell you that an action is being prepared by the City Attorney.He is very busy now or else it would have been heard from before now.Councillor LeBaron—We should have it before snow falls.Councillor Belanger—Has the city in structed the City Attorney to proceed with the action.The Mayer stated that the Chairman of the Road Committee was instructed to see the City Attorney with regard to the position of the city and Street Rahway.Councillor Belanger- It is too bad to go ta law among ourselves.Councillor McManamy—It does not seem too bad for lawyers to go to law.— ( 1 aught er.) Councillor LeBaron—It does seem t .to follow such a course.The Council and Street [Railway might meet and arrange matters.Councillor Belanger—Going to law will not certainly help Sherbrooke.The Mayor These are usual occurrences.Cojncillor McManamy—It will help Sherbrooke mere if we have our streets in good shape.The Mayor thought that it was too bad that the Street Railway acted in such a high handed way.It was roost untor tunate that Mr Burke was away all the time because he seemed to be dictator and he was never here.He thought they could safely leave the matter in the hands of the Chairman of the Road Committee.Councillor McManamy said that the City Attorney had written the Company, but had received no answer.He then consulted the City Attorney and asked what proof he would want before bringing an action, and he replied the best proof poisiblr.He (Councillor McManamy) had the city surveyor make a report on the track and that report was now in the hands of the City Attorney.Councillor Cate thought the whole mat ter of the question of the position cf th'> city and Street Railway should be gone into so that each would know where they stood.THE $100,000 LOAN.Councillor Cate said that he had looked up the question brought forward by the City Attorney in a letter at last meeting, which stated that the Supreme Court held that it was necessary before a by law w s pas ed to borrow money that a majority iu number and value was ne ossary to cany the measure.He had gone into the matter with the City Attorney and he found that it was (necessiry to have the by law carried in the manner laid down by the City Attorney.It was felt by the Council that to have this by law passed by a majority some tall hustling was necessary.Councillor Fuller asked if the passage of such a loan would increase the taxes.Councillor Cate said he was happy to say it would not.THE S.& S.MUTUAL BUILDING.S -me discussion took place with ngard totheiewS.& S.Mutual building coming out on the sidewalk, and the May» r Councillors Cate and Belanger were ap pointed a Committee to see the C for playing the Association game of Basket Ball and already several interesting games have been played.The annual fall and winter prospectus has been printed and will be distributed this week.The et'largement of the educational work has necessitated more room and another room in the block has been secured as a c’a-a room.The meetirg of the Board of Managers called for last evening has been postponed until T h irsdiy » v.n op, the 5th inst.Going to Re= Decorate?Why not enjoy the practical advantages offered by our Metallic Ceilings & Walls 1 They srr both handsome and economical—outlast any othcr style of interior finish—are fire proof and sanitary—can be applie»l over plaster if necessary—and are made in a vast number of artistic designs which will suit any room of any building.Write us—we'd like you to know all about them.If you want an estimate send outline showing the shape and measurements of your ceilings and walls.Mitallic Roofing Co.Limited Toronto.PLOWS FOR EVERYONE.The Celebrated Pereival Plow with Tilting Colters.Wilkinson Plows.Vilas Plows.Plow Repairs always in stock.Let me quote you prices whether you buy or not.My CARRIAGE line is complete.Hand-made Harnesses.F.L.BEAN, ' 85 & 187 Wellington St.SHERBROOKE.£85,000 WAS THE AMOUNT OF ONE CHEC £ recently paid by the manufacturers to H.M.Customs for duty on which shows to what extent these celebrated Tobaccos arc called for.In Y x » 11 a i * »! •• i »t y r ! »11 it iUm.ti.d.) iVc v & Co., who e*ale agents, 30 ospitil St., Montreal.fi «Ta i i A New Brand of " x Rolled Oats the i m : ! -— A.In - - I V W'Ü'N»Vi û>¦/••••."UKUFAt'UHeC 'JM _ Y'liTC A1Jl !- Pewos > '—c’y c - - Nor-West’ It is sweet, delicious and healthful, a fastidious stomach will welcome this pure and wholesome food.IN 2 POUND PACKAGE TRY ONE i Your Grocer Will Supply YOU.Partieuiar Tea Fop Partieuiar People.We have received in store this morning a shipment of an extra fine Ceylon Tea packed in 5 lb.boxes.This Tea is put up on one of the largest lea Plantations in Ceylon—is n achine made—machine packed.Consequently nothing can be more cleanly handled.IN 5 lb.BOXES 50c.lb.ASK FOR A SAMPLE.AGENTS.For the Best Fitting AND BEST VALUES IN Men’s Boys AND Youth’s FINE UP-TO-DATE WINTER SUITS AND OVERCOATS .GO TO.J.L.VINEBERG & Co., Of the Eastern To\i\mships Clothing House, 7B Wlellington Street, Sherbrooke.O^DIERh.riLBl ETO, Selling Ag nta, • Sherbrooke New Store, New (roods, New; Prices.The undersigned begs to notify the publie that he has opened a store at REEDSVILLE, (near North Hatley) W here he will keep a full line of General St^re Goods, such as Groceries, Dry i G-od*.B > >ts and Shoes, Ready-made !
