and, if the said railway is not commenced and completed within the sald delays respectively, the powers conferred upon the said company shall lapse and be null and void.\u201d Hon.Mr.Taschereau remarked that the company did not appear to be IR avy progress with the road, and Mr.D'Auteuil replied that already they had spent $50,000 for plans and specifications and preliminary works.He did not know of my other company anxious to take over that road and consequently could not see any objection to the extension of time being granted.Hon.Mr.Tascherean had heard of the railway before and considered ten years too long a time for the completion of that railway and suggest ed five years instead, and if the company was serious, at the end of five years, another extension could he granted the company if necessary.Mr.D'Auteul replied that the rom- \u2018pany had to commense work within the year and would push forward the construction of the road with all possible dilent.Mr.Laverome also mupported the hill which was finally adopted as amend- od by inserting five years instead of ten vears.When the amendments made hy the Legislative Council to Mr.Letourneau\u2019s bill to incorporate the Town of Limoilou, came up for second reading, Mr.Tetourneau moved that the amendments made by the Council be struck out.Thess amendments were to the effeet that the municipality would have the vight to grant rrocers licenses to sell liouor, even if no bar licenses were granted.The member for Quebec East remarked that if no bar licenses were vranted their should he no grocery licenses for the sels of liauor.Hon.Mr.Weir supnorted the latter\u2019s motion on the promd thet the amendments made hy the couneil were anoroved of to the nrincinle contained in the License Tewdid not sell liovor hy the glass, and he considered it uninst tn nrevent them selling linnor by the hottie.The hill ax amended wan read a third time Dr.Cote\u2019s Will to amend the law resnectine phveiciane and surgeons was fnallv read à third time with certain amendments, and after ocra- nional discussions an certain clauses.NOTES.Premier Gouin has given notice that on Monday next he will move that the House sit on Saturday morning next.The Nontreal Bill was again taken up in the Private Bills Committees ves terday morning and further considera.tinh was posipened until .Tuesday NW UNE DE STEAMSHIPS May be Established Between France, Quebec and Montreal\u2014Subsi- dized by France, (Special to the Chronicle.)

per cent.still owing to the preferred shareholders, will be paid out of the moneys wtill due hy the Dominion Coal Company.Ax the Steel directors claim that the Conl Company still ower them $1,200,000, and as Mr.Cahan has averred that the Coal Company is anxious to settle the whole matter outside the courts, the friends of the Steel Company would appear to be justified in their belief that before twelve months, the entire prrenre on the preferced will be paid in full.- CENTRAL RAILWAY INVESTIGATION Questions regarding It in New | Brunswick Legislature\u2014Not | Much Information Given, (Special to Chronicle.)

launched out into the wildest extravagance.Estnte after estate was sold, his mother, who was entirely under his domination, agreeing to these transactions upon a promise that he would settle £3,000 a year un her.This went on until 1862, when Roupoll's affairs had become so hopelessly involved that Me fied the country.\u2018Then his forgeries began to be discovered, and Richard Roupell, a legitimate son, accused his brother of having forged the will under which he had benefited.The whole series of forgeries was exposed in the course of an action heard at Guildford Asxizes in August, 1862, in which Ricahrd Roupell sought to recover from a gen- tieman named Warte the property Warte had acquired from William Roupell.Of course the whole foundation of tite plaintiff's claim lay in the possi bility of the deed of rift of the estate ta William Roupell heing a forgery.\u2018This was proved.and hy no less a { personne than William Roupell him- ad Not only did he confess to this, 1 but to forging the will.lt was 8 mont dramatic scene.The man once in enjoyment of a great for- ! tune, the envied of many, a representative of the poorle in the Lerislaj Lure, now calmly confessing to a series of forgeries that had robbed his bra | ther of his own.When he wan asked whether he did not swear that thg will and the signature (o it were genuine, rej , am sorry to say I.gid.\u201d 1694 Roupell prooseded:\u2019to aay that Ti brother was entitled to all the » perty, because he (Roupell) had furs ted the deed of rift and the will,, was after he went ahroad, he.sai that the snormity of his offence c: home to him.and hy returved \u201cto what he could towartia çestitutiqg, for he knew that if all a were enforced his family would be practically ruined, In face of William Roupell\u2019s.confession the action collapsed in dramatic fashion, and Richard Roupell, the real heir, having won his case, agreed with dr.Warte, the disposseased purchaser of the Norbiton state, to a division of the value of the property between them, a juror being withdrawn without a verdict heing recorded.The forged documents wera apon impounded by the direction the judge, and William Roupell was al in court.A month later.at the Old Bailey.he was put on his trial, and rnised no defence.there of \u201cI am guilty of these crimes,\u201d he said, \u201cand I confess them.My life has been one rontinued mistake.In my youth I suffered privations of Many Doctors Failed Dr Hamiiton Again Figure :in a Case that Puzzied Other Physicians.Halilax, N.S., April 16\u2014When the nintement of Mra.Stanley, of 148: Arayle 8t., was first given it caused no small comment, and again establishes that as a physician who understands his profession none excel Dr.llamil- ton.\u201cFor years,\u201d says Mm.Stanley, \u201cI have suffered greatly from a peculiar dragging wenknees that resulted from vleu And anthma.Doctors pre sori But failed to advise anything of real henefit.A friend urgel me to try Dr.Hamilton's Pilla of Mandrake and Butiéenut and 1 bought five boxes.They .gave wiv renewed strength and enorgy, toned my stomach, enriched my blood, and supplied juat what my system n .No medicine could have benefited mere than \u2018Dr.Hamilton\u2019s Pills, and 1 be- enormously by using these pills regularly.They did me more lasting good than all the prescriptions I took in ve years.\u201d No man or woman in poor besith ever used Dr.Hamilton's Pills with.weak they uplift and strengthen as a trial always proves.Ex-M.P.Who Forged a Will for lieve every woman would be helped out henefit ; the depressed, ailing and which the public can have no conception.When Iwas twenty-one 1 incurred -n debt with a friend.That friend became involved in pecuniary troubles which caused him to meditate suicide.I had not the money to pav what I owed him ; I could not get assistance, and I risked my soul to save my friend.\u201cI am a living puradox,\u201d he went on; \u201cno one can sulve my conduct but myself, and I cannot, therefore, ever hope to he understood by the publie.1 will, however, say this: I am not Personally extravagant : 1 never gambled ; I am nat a libertine, \u201cThourh \u20181 might have | reutained abroad 1 resolved to return.and 1 came back a neif-convicted criminal.my only object being to serve the interests of justice.I know what Ihave to expect, but 1 deliberately prefer penal servitude for life to an existence of continued diserice, concealment, and passive \u2018remorse.Penal servitude for life was his sentence, hut he was released in September, 1876.SOOTHING WASH CURES ECZEMA Ol!
