Baptiste Village, in the Northern part of this city, early this morning.The brick stores and residences overhead of Mrs.Tait and Mr.Vallaincourt were burnt to the ground with their contente, and the surrounding buildings were badly damaged.It being outside the city limits the auppl^f water was very scarce.Xhé loss is estimated at îfclo,-000, w hich is only partially covered by insurance.\t, The

being received.\t._\t_ Voting is going on in Pontiac County on the by-law granting a bonus of $100,000 to the Pontiac and Pacific Railway.Between the hours of twelve and one o\u2019clock on Sunday morning.P.C.Davitt, while on duty on Sparks street, was accoste»! ing where Vankoughnet children said, \u201cOn the is THE ARREST.Downey made Mrs.Vankoughnet accompany him to the island under threat of instant arrest.As they were pulling towards tho island Mrs.Vankoughnet was greatly alarmed.On landing Vankoughnet himself was noticed, and he at once made an attempt to get away.He was called after, and halted.He then drew his knife and made a pass at Downey, who seized him and threw him to the ground.The cudgel he carried and his knife were taken from him, and he was com-pelled to accompany Downey to Stoness\u2019 Corners, where a conveyance was secured to bring the captive to the city.The greatest excitement prevailed over the arrest, although it was not largely circulated.The hands of the prisoner w ere strapped one over the other, and he was placed between two men.He was driven thus to Kingston.On the way he gave a full and complete history of his wanderings, and also confessed to the perpetration of the crime.At Inyerary he wan allowed a drink of water.As little time wai consumed as possible.At Cedar Creek he tdso wanted another drink, but his request was refused.Ho squirmed in the buggy, but made no attempt to escape.At number one toll gate, Perth Road, he was given another drink, and about 7 o\u2019clock handed over to the police authorities, who would allow no person to see him excepting the reporters.His weapons were also handed in.CAUSE OF THE MURDER.Vankoughnet attributes his passion to remove Richardson to the fact of his alleging that he was guilty of the crime of firing the woo»Is in Bedford.Liquor was also a primary cause, as he stated.He had been drinking more or less the entire time.Vankoughnet also was greatly tormented bv the charges of thieving and mischief heape»l.upon him by his neignbors, who treated him like a dog.He was guilty of many, but, he claims, not of half of those attributed to him.For instance, he solemnly swears he did cot touch the money in the man\u2019s pockets or remove the leathern trunk from his house.In his representations there is aoo«l reason to believe that he is sincere.If'the murderer confesses hi.s erime, which he has already done to a number of persons, there w ill be no necessity for a long-continued trial at the Assizes.The case has excite«l intense interest, as the murder

think the mystery will prove formidable.The woman who notined the police probably saw everything she described, but we question very much if the affair turns out to be anything more titan a petty row between a few drunken roughs.The body of the man was doubtless placed in the spot indicated by the informant, but we think his sudden disappearance may be attributed to his return to conciousness after his debauch, and it is more than likely that this will be found to be the case.Still, the authorities are wise in making all the enquiry possible under the circumstances.Just now some very sensational things are happening, and policemen cannot be too vigilant.A PROCLAMATION FROM THE OUYN AMITES.Those funny fellows, the Irish skirmishers, are quite \u201ccute.\u201d They have decided to blow up all vessels flying the British flag and have issued their proclamation, unsigned, to that effect.The travelling public are cautioned against travelling after September first, so from this, we may infer that the newspapers after that date, will present some unusually attractive features.The reading matter will, at least, be lively and exciting.All this would be enjoyable or terrible enough, as we regard it, were it not for the neat tidbit, which accompanies the \u201cproclamation,\u201d and which goes on to state that \u201ccontributions in aid of the cause can be sent to the Council to dispose.\u201d' This is the snapper of the whip, and the place where ''the laugh cornea in.\" The Irish skirmisher is as the wind without those \u201ccontributions, \u2019 which enable him to write \u201cproclamations,\u201d and dine luxuriantly in the swell hotels of Conrt laLAjrp.These \u201cpatriots\u201d are great fellows, but they seldom do more than proclaim.has been given out to arouse in every human breast, feelings and thoughts of the gravest significance.The President refuses nourishment He is aweary and tired out.He no longer greets his wife with that tender smile which always sent hope flying into her heart.He is a dying man evidently, and his courage has sustained a shock which he cannot overcome or subdue.At times he had been delirious, and his frame has been racked with great pain.And now, while all this suffering is going on, and the head of a nation hangs hovering between life and death, the great heart of this continent of North America, as well as the sympathetic heart and soul of every continent in the world where civilization exists, wait and watch and hope for the best The spectacle is a grand and inspiring one, and no one can help being affected by it, or by the lesson which it conveys.The other day the Boston Advertiser, in discussing the condition of the President, and the efforts of those around him, said :\u2014 ' \u2018The physicians and surgeons who attend him express great confidence.They should know better than any one else the nature of the difficulties they have to treat, and the dangers to be overcome.They alone are responsible for what they do and for what they say.No one else is responsible.What they say will be remembered.What others say will be forgotten.We must trust those who have charge of the case.They say he has a chance to live.Meanwhile the nation waits upon his uncertain pulses with fear and hope.The spectacle floay well inspire doubt in the minds of those who have been led to believe that public life is all a game of politics and spoils.To the President himself, whether he lives or dies,\u2014 the reflection of the New York Htrald has come to many in these weeks of anxious waiting,\u2014\u2018 the steady solicitude of the American people, the tender anxiety with which they watch his patient struggle' existence, the rise ana fall of tfroir with the beating of his pulse, are a and a consolation in his suffering.If he Jives, they inspire him to make his career worthy of such tokens of affection.If he dies, they invest hi?memory with a fragrance sweeter than balsams.\u2019 What the alternative will be is not revealed.\u201d for fears THE CAPTURE OF VANKOUGHNET.Vaskocohjtet, the alleged murderer of Richa&dsox, the Lough boro\u2019 hermit, has been captured.The story of this unfortunate man is, all things considered, a most deplorable one, and it illustrates with great clearness the axiom, that the road of the transgressor is hard.Details of his rather clover capture will be found in another column.To them we supplement here, additional particulars which have come to us, through various channels.When he committed the murder, it is very wall established, he was scarcely sober, having primed himself with whiskey a few hours before the perpetration of the c :irae.Richardsox fell dead at the first shot, and his slayer turned and fled from the scene at once.He never looked behind at his victim, who lay bleeding on the ground, nor did he rifle his pockets, as at first reported He ran up through the woods, and went to a haystack, on the\tEast side of\twhich he hid the\tgun, with one barrel loaded He then returned to his own house.On Sunday he took hi* horse and exchanged it at Richardson\u2019s ham for a fleeter steed belonging to the murdered man, and then he set the barn on fire, of course destroying his own animal in the wreck which ensued Harnessing his new horse and hitching it to Frsbhax\u2019s buggy, he drove off to Elgin, where he attempted to dispose of the former.He was suspected of horse-stealing, and a constable was called in.Vaxkocohxbt promptly denied 6the theft and offered to go with any one to Jackel\u2019s, in Westport, where,.he said, the horse could be identified.The constable, to his surprise, accepted the challenge, and the two started off WTiile on the the way, Vaxkocghxxt jumped from the buggy and took to the woods.He made hi* way home, and on Monday night his wife and daughter rowed him toward Little Birch Island He really did jump out of the boat, dived, and swam ashore.It was his intention to drown himself, he says, but while in the water, he changed his mind, and sought terra Jirma in the manner described.He reached the island all right, and then made his way under cover of the woods to Lawrrxo Dsxxy s, which is about four miles from Sydenham.He stopped at thi* nan\u2019s house on Tuesday night, and the next night he spent at Dmxxr's bam.On Thursday he retraced his way toward his home, trying in that way to give the con-stablee the \u201cslip.\u201d At dusk, he landed on Little Sand Island, having all this time endured considerable suffering and contrition.He made a raft of some small pieces of drift-wood, and by its aid floated over to Little Birch Island.While there, he encountered Dowxsy and his wife, who had come over.They told him that his wife and child were to be arrested as accomplices in the crime, and these tidings completely unmanned him, and he declared that rather than have them suffer, he would give himself up to the officers.The details of what followed are fully stated in our telegrams from Harrowwnith, and will be found interesting reading.A late despatch describee him as feeling great anguish at his crime, and completely divested of all bravado.His eyes are red with weeping, and he is ss passive and subdued as a child He realizes his position keenly, and professes to be very penitent.THÊ NSW 0OTEL.It was a large and very influential ipeef' ing of gentlemen yesterday at the Board Room of the Quebec Bank, which unanimously resolved upon the construction of a new hotel next Dufferin Terrace, and appointed a committee to obtain subscriptions to the capital stock of the enterprise.Amongst those present at the meeting were the Mayor, who presided, Mr.E.J.Hale, who acted as secretary, Mr.James G.Roes, Mr.Andrew Thoipson, Mr.James Stevenson, Mr.G.R.Renfrew and several others.The minutes of the meeting are published in our local column, and with them the names of the committee appointed to obtain subscriptions.It will be seen by these minutes that the meeting was favorably impressed with the plans and correspondence submitted by Mr.Russell, and quite in earnest in its desire to proceed with the scheme.The inten tion of the promoters is to have the new hotel completed and finished and ready for occupation in June, 1883.The committee on subscriptions to the stock meets again this afternoon at the same place.It is to be hoped that they will be able to report good progress.Having such unbounded confidence themselves in the scheme, it should not be difficult for them to influence others.Arrangements » to be made with the Russell Hotel mpany, with its pwn means, as a security for the investment, to furnish the hotel eoual in all respects to the Windsor Hotel, of Montreal, and to take a lease of the premises for a long term of years, paying a quarterly interest of JA p.c.on the capital stock of the company, in addition to which, the Russell Hotel Company sume all municipal taxes that may be assessed thereon, keep the hotel building insured for 9100,000, to the credit of the shareholders, insure the furniture and effects of the hotel for an eoual amount, and also, to pay in an annual sinking fund of 2 p.c.per annum, to be at the disposal of suMcribers to this stock.Any better investment it would be difficult to imagine.We have no doubt that in the course of two or three days, the whole of the necessary stock will be subscribed.THE

London, Aug.22.\u2014The Times says :\u2014 The Ecumenical Methodist Conference, which meets in this city next week, promises to be one of the most important religious gatherings rince the day of the Wesleys.The various denominations of Methodism number over four millions ; actual communicants and Methodist population is computed at eighteen millions ; the members of the Conference number four hundred, half represented by British and Continental Methodism and hÀlf churches in the United States and Canada.The Conference is composed of lay and clerical delegates in equal proportions.Its main objects will be to devise means of prosecuting home and foreign mission work, *o as to result in the greatest economy and efficiency, to increase the moral and Evangelical power of common Methodism, and secure the more speedy conversion of the world.The Mark Lane Express says :\u2014The past week the weather has damaged and jeopardized the harvest, mildew rapidly developing in the standing grain, and the cold nights and hot moist days are causing that in sheaves to sprout.The quality of wheat from which the very best results were expected Li found to be affected by premature ripeness and the quality and yield are disappointing.In Great Britain and on the continent there has been an advance in wheat not solely on account of the disappointing harvest ; stocks have been let down in anticipation of early deliveries, and these calculations have been upset by the weather, which has entirely prevented threshing from the fields.Tke bulk of the crops must go through the ordinary sweating in ricks before it comes to any extent on the market Practically there is no old native wheat.FRANCE Pams, Aug.22\u2014Keller, the noted clerical, wm defeated in the Department of Haut Rhein.Chemenceau wsa successful in Arles and Montmartre.Later returns of tho elections show the Republicans elected 398 candidates, the Monarchists and Bonapartista 85 ;

his weight when wounded was from 205 to 210 pounds.His failure to regain strength is one feature which ~i\u2014- - apprehension.\u201d Dr.^ Bliss, who seemed more than ordinarily cheerful and confident, said at a late hour this afternoon that the general condition of the President had not changed very much since yesterday, but the change was in the direction of improvement.\u201cIt is furthermore,\u201d he said, \u201ca change in precisely those symptoms which are regarded with the most anxiety and which have the.most direct bearing upon the future of the case, viz Symptoms dependent upon the condition of th* stomach.The one great question now is that of nourishment, if the President\u2019s stomach will take and assimilate food enough to meet the drain upon the system caused b the fever and the constant secretion of pus to sustain his strength until other unfavorable complications disappear, and to enable nature to carry on the process of repair which has begun in the wound, I think there is eveiy probability of complete recovery.The consequences of the swelling of the paratid gland or of the alight septic taint of the blood in which that swelling had its origin, arc of se condary importance when compared with the consequences of th* failure of the stomach to assimilate food.Exhaustion is the thing most to be feared.\u201d Being asked G.S E I F E R T'S EUROPEAN BAZAAR, 12, FABRIQUE STREET.P- 8.\u2014Watches, Jewellery and Optical goods carefully repaired on the premises, by \u201ctperienced workmen.Jui July 18,188L S.J.SHAW & CÔ.St.John Street, Upper Town, and Sous-le-Fort Street, Lower Town, jpVNCYWAROWARg;

TUESDAY.AUGUST 23, 1881.THE TELEGRAPH ARRANGEMENT.(The Montreal Herald.) We suppose no well-informed person could bo surprised at the result of the meeting of the shareholders of the Montreal Telegraph Company the day before yesterday.For reasons which will, doubtless, be well understood, and which we need not further allude to, we have said little so far on the subject of the arrangement which was completed on Wednesday.Now the agreement is signed, however, it may be well to remark that, while the ordinary public\u2014we are afraid the newspaper part of the public must be excepted here\u2014will lose little or nothing in the long run, the stockholders, meaning those who are steady holders for investment, will save a property which, but for this arrangement, was exposed to great risk.As to the public, the restriction of rates to twenty-hve cents per message will keep Canadian telegraphy, as it has long been, the very cheapest in the world.That is the cost of an English message.It is true that the English message may consist of twenty words, but how rarely is it that ten words do not suffice : The true way, however, to look at the matter is in relation to the cost of telegraphy in the two countries.To reach the 4,000,000 of people of Quebec and Ontario wires must be laid for more than a thousand miles from West to East, besides all the cross roads, so to speak, leading off from the main branches.In England the telegraphy of 4,000,000 in London alone can be done by wires crossing a circle of not more than about twenty-five miles in diameter.Similar proportions obtain as to offices.The fad is, considering distances and population, which are the true tests of the costs of telegraphing, the public in England pay three or four times more proportionally than the Canadians will do for the same service even at 25 cents per message.Besides this the English receipts have so far been supplemented out of the taxes, in order to pay expenses ; and a few months ago we read a correspondence in the newspapers complaining that there were only some three or four offices \u2022 in London at which ordinary messages could be despatched after eight o\u2019clock at night, and only a very few towns where they could be delivered between that time and eight in the morning.Except in the way of taxes, which some profess to like better in proportion sa they are heavy, no one wants to pay more than he i-an help for necessary service.It is therefore, natural that an arrangement involving the probable raising of rater should not be popular, even though the increased rate should still be relatively to work done the lowest in the world.But those who feel thus may be consoled by reflecting that if not by this plan, yet by some plan, the old rates were sure to be restored before long by agreement between the Companies, because taking them both together, it was very doubtful if they could keep the lines in first rate order and make the necessary additions from time to time in unprofitable neighbourhoods, at the existing rate, so closely did the cost of each message follow upon the charge for That, however, was a matter for the Government, as the representatives of the public, to consider.Our own impression is that the public, in one way or another, would pay a great deal more for telegraphy, worse managed than* now, if the business were in the hands of the Government.Be ?W u it may, the Company, so far from throwing any obstacles in the way of the assumption by the public of their lines, the attention of the Government to tbs project just consummated, before it srovid enter into serious negotiations for carrying It out.It could do no more for the public it has done, and it was under no obligation, except one of good feeling, to do so much, as everbody is aware that the public will use its lines only so long as it gets its business transacted in a satisfactory manner, at a price as low as can be elsewhere obtained.The true question at the meeting on Wednesday was, however, evidently one affecting the interests of the stock and that only.There are, of course, stockholders and stockholders ; and it is easy to understand that a stockholder with one or two shares and a large telegraphic correspondence might be content to sacrifice his trifling dividend for the sake of saving five cents a message.Again, if a gentleman had bought largely of the stock when it was quoted low down on the nineties, and had sold again all but a nominal holding, when the expectation of this coining arrangement had put it up to 30 premium, or thereabouts, with $12,000 or $14,000 nrofit and his original capital back in his \u2018Vat.he might, without loss and much oatriotic enjoyment, see other people\u2019s nrmLrtv cut ^wn to 40, 60 or 60 cents on ES&rfc* a» th»t th.property C'* »**\u201c m £\u201c*4*\u201c hmd.-.n/ tSTlo» pockets.Then when the ¦to'?» .îf low enough for Americans to come ^ purchase the control, such a stockhoi.would, if patriotism indeed did not stand in the way, be in an excellent position to come in again with them, and await chapter of accidents to once more add 50 or lOOper cent to the value of his holding.Those who had the management of the negotiation» in the first instance, however, had no right in conscience to consider the case of that class of stockholders, even though it would, perhaps, have been pos-8;ble for them to see a way to their own advantage in it Large holders and \u2018\u2022operators,\u201d as they are called, can protect themselves, and, though they sometimes make mistakes, it is they who, as s rtia\u2014 «nak» fortunes out of fluctuations in stock which freeze out the poorer, more timid, and less dexterous holders.If it could ever be the duty of Directors to dia- will be now, but at the loss of many hundreds of thousands to Canadians individually.Shipping intelligence.Probabilities for the Next 24 Hours for tbs St Lawrence, etc., eta ToBO^ft, Auçrust 23, 1 am.\u2014St.Lawrence \u2014Moderate winds and fair weather.The

shares for whom they would be j jyjj bound especially to care\u2014persons who | Nicoi know little of transactions in stocks, but who have sought a secure investment, and who, during the year or two of no dividends, in which richer and more intermittent stockholders are contentedly lying by awaiting their chance, with their past profits realized, ready to deal again, are one after another frightened into selling out There can be no doubt that the new arrangement is calculated to give investors what they seek, instead of exposing them almost to th# certainty of seeing their property valueless for a year or two, with the bare possibility that, in the evolutions of time, some new and more profitable combination may again be hit upon.We may, perhaps, say one word here about the I Wednesday.Western Union.That Company has been | Thursday, for a great many years the ally of the Montreal Company, so far as we have ever heard, with the mutual satisfaction which arises from good offices rendered ^nd received.The Western Union, how-for purpose» in which Canadian .rnmWie» and Canadian telegraphy could \\ *ow Moon\u2019 Wednesday, 24th.have entered, if at all, in an in-finitessimal degree, found themselves c bilged to coalesce with the American Union.As an incident of that amalgamation, and out of no hostility to the Montreal Company, they became the owners of the lease wtuch the Dominion Company had made to the American Union ; *n passant it may be said without one patriotic outcry against it from Canadians lately so jealous of American leases.Could they be greatly blamed, if.instead of giving the Montreal Company all the business they lould control, they \u201cchristened their own child first,\u201d and did upon their own Canadian line about all the business it was capable of ?We think not.And it was that situation and the complications to which it was sure to give rise, including a probable war to the knife, waged for Canadian as well as for International business, which forced the hands of the Montreal Company.Jt is not necessary to clothe the Western Unipn Company with any attributes of extreme benevolence to account for the offer they made.We suppose they and their friends M© money in what they are doing.But it is not unreasonable, on the contrary, it ft highly just to say, that when *\thigh-handed and cut-thioat policy was clearly open to them, with the prospect of profit, they adopted a policy of wise moderation, in which it is probable that they wm?p^y «^y®4 by s04*1 fe®lin« f,or^n i j M*nd, by circumstancee beyond the 2>n*ir
