t^ue.Oct.lâ.—The I Charbonneau nsanulaughter ca^e ! came to a rather uiilooked-for close yesterday afternoon, in the Court of King's Bench here The case for the Crown closed at noon, a number of witnesses subpoenaed not being examined.The defence began its proof after ajourmneut amt concluded at hah past three.Several witnesses had been exam hied in the morning to prove that Descouteaux had been in good health on the day he died and had not complained of any accident.Dr.Auguste Mathieu, coroner of Granby, was recalled to prove that the symptoms noticed by Drs.Cowley and Fournier were quite reconcilable with the Crown s theory that the fracture which caused the blood clot was received at the time of the row.The last witness for the defence was the accused himself lie explained that he thought deceased was raising his hand to strike him ami he struck him in the face with his fist.Deceased fell on his hands and knees and accused thought he was looking for stones, ami when he rose ami came towards witness again the latter hit him again on the jaw He swore positively that he did not kick Descouteaux.Mr.C.A.Nutting, K.C., addressed the jury on behalf of the Crown.The Judge's charge was rather against the accused.The Jury retired until 7 in the evening, and at that hour they reported that they could not agree upon a verdict.They were locked up for the night.A disagreement is generally looked for.Sweetsburg, Oct.19.—The jury in the Charbonneau manslaughter case again reported yesterday morning that an agreement could not be reached, and were discharged.The accused was admitted to bail in $1,200, to appear before the next term of the Court of King’s Bench.Several British CANADIANS SURPRISE A BOER LAAGER.Successes.Put BoerLTo F"ght OUR NEW FALL STOCK Now complete in

near Balmoral.The Boers tied after a short tight.The Canadians had two men killed audan officer and two men wounded.Montreal Butter Market.A feature in the butter market has been the large exports during the past four weeks, amounting to 91,413 packages, valued at about $1,00 >.000.This brings up the total exports for the season, from Montreal, to 323,108 packages, against 227,493 packages for the corresponding period last year, showing an increase of 100,558 packages.The market during the past two weeks has lost its activity, and prices are declining 1c to 1 je per lb.This has has been partly owing to the poor quality of a considerable quantity of the fall make, which has shown up mottled in color and broken in texture due to its being overworked.Fancy creamery is in fair demand with transactions at 20Jc to 21c ; but the pressing on the market of so much that is lielow choice has a depressing effect.Good qualities change hand today at 20c, and what might be classed as very good 20Jc.A round lot of Eastern Townships creamery was placed at 20]c, but the buyer admitted that it was not finest.Western creamery is quoted at 19c to 29c.Western dairy butter is slow sale, for straight lots, and prices range from 14fc to 10$c as to quality.— “ Trade Bulletin.” F> HE LINE OF Rifles, Cartridges, Shells, Powder or Shot, INSPECT OUR STOCK BKJORS AUTINO.Stores, Ranges, Furnaces,

eorrespon dent of the “Times” nt Dundee reports fighting south of Vryheid, in wkich a son of Mr.Reitz, ex-State Secretary, and Emmet, (Louis Botha’s nephew), were captured Why The Dnch*ss Is Popular.The Duchess of Corn wall and York is evidently a stalwart of th British stalwarts.A* a guard at Winnipeg started to remove little miss who had clambered to the top of a gate through which the royal party must pass end who strenuously resisted, the Duchess taking m the situation at a glance said, “Tell him to leave that litth patriot where she is, she under stands the British principle of ‘What we have we’il hold.’ ” The touching little sequel is that as the gate swung open with the little vixen, the Duchess pinch d .rose from a bouquet she carried and handed it to the child, who laughed in a great glee.In the light of this incident with its ac companying sentiment it is easy to understand the popularity of the Duchess with the British people.CONFLAGRATION AT SYDNEY,
