Soldiers killed by Lightning\u2014 Tho Czar and the Pamir Difficulty\u2014Shaken up by Earthquakes.London, Sept.5\u2014The legion of Americans here is practically reduced in number by the departure of half a dozen steamers literally crowded to the gunwales.Pas-iuge tickets are as rare and more expensive than moderately sized diamonds.Scores of people are paying first-class faro for second class cahins on the larger steamers, which, owing to their construction, are enabled to throw the second cabin into communication with the saloon.I heard to-day of one case in which a young lady of excellent family, who was determined to get homo at all hazards, travelled in the steerage.Half a dozen peo- Ele boarded the \u201cAlaska\u201d and \"Aurania\u2019\u2019 at ivorpool without tickets, in the hope of getting to sea before their ruse could be discovered, when they were perfectly willing to pay any price demanded, cut unfortunately for these genteel stowaways they were captured and ruthlessly sent ashore.Dnnktless by the time the steamers reach Queenstown there will be some more weeding out of goats from among the sheep.A.Vienna despatch says The Czar is dis-pleased at the recent conflict in the Pamir country between the Russians and Afghans, which resulted in the Ameer appealing to the Indian Government to aid him against the Russians, and has wired instructions to Col.Van uff, commander of the Russian forces in the Pamir country, to henceforth avoid any adventures which will be likely to provoke England.A Berlin correspondent says he believes that Chancellor Von Caprivi will introduce military bills in Parliament early in 1893 to raise tho 70,000,000 marks required by tho army by increased taxation on' beer and tobacco.The Chancellor will not venture to ask for a State monopoly of these articles, but will raise the import duties on them and will ferbid the domestic cultivation of tobacco.If such action is taken by the Government, it will provoke serious opposition on the part ot small farmers in southern Germany.Catania, Sspt.5\u2014The eruption of Mount Etna is abating in violence.Naples, Sept.5\u2014Four more bodies have been extricated from the mins of the old Palazzo, whioh collapsed yesterday.It is known that many other persons were killed by the falling of the structure.Vienna, Sept.5\u2014A heavy thunderstorm passed over a portion of Galicia yesterday.A farm house at Mozzezanica was struck by lightning and set on fire.A number of soldiers were billeted at the farm house.Eight were killed and their bodies cremated.Alexandria, Sepk 6\u2014For tho year ending Sept.1 Egypt\u2019s cotton crop amonnts to 4,270,\u2022 000 owt, the yield being 15 per cenk over that of the preceding year, which had the highest record.Next reason is expected to fuUy equal this, but the market value of cotton U so low that there is little profit to cultivators.Twenty-four thousand bales hare been exported to America.Quadlakaga, Mex., Sept.5\u2014There has been hardly a day within the past three monihs that th\u2018s city lias not been severely shaken by earthquakes.The shocks have been increasing in severity and last night considerable damage was done by another tremble to these already badly wrecked buildings.The Municipal and State buildings here were among the moat elegant and substantial in Mexico, but the walls are now badly cracked and the lives of tl»e occupant^ are in danger.It is believed that the earthquakes are caused by the internal disturbances which are keeping the Colinia volcano in a state of eruption.CANADIAN REPORTS.LA Lor.DAY IN MONTREAL.Premier Abbott\u2019s Probable Successor.Fatal Fire in Toronto.NO.17,222.AMERICAN.Knoxville, Tenn., Sept.5\u2014The mine leaders have posted notices in all the mines in the Coal Creek and Oliver Springs districts, ordering the miners to cease work nntil further notice.The feeling at Oliver Springs is one of considerable uneasiness and many minera are flocking there from all over the districk A force of 80 convicts are at work rebuilding the stockades.A company of military has been there.It now looks as though there will b« a strike of a\u2019! the miners in tho Coal Creek, Oliver Spri gs and Jellico districts.General Carnes has received a call from OliverSprings for he\u2019p.He again ordered the Harriman Coiiqiany to go to the scene.Alpine, Tex., Sept.5\u2014This place was nearly swept away by a terrible cloud burst whioh formed over Devil Mountain, six miles south of Alpine, yesterday.Drowning Accident at Ottawa.g that has ever happened in the vicinity of the city occurred tbs other evening, shortly before eight o\u2019clock, w hen Agnes and Lillian Morse, sisters, were the victims,, meeting their death in the canal two hundred yards south of the Maria street bridge, or about mid way up the deep cut.Agnes was about 21 years of age anefwastohave been wedded in the course of a few weeks to Mr.Dey, of Day\u2019s Boat Works.Lflliwi was 14 years of age.They were daughters of the late Alfred Morse, of this city, who died a couple of years ago and whose widow ond surviving family now reside at 24 Theodore street.The particulars of the occurrence are extremely harrowing, especially from the fact that a few ladies saw the girls struggling in the water and were unable to give them any assistance.The two girls left Dey\u2019s l>oat house shortly after seven o\u2019clock to go for a paddle in a canoe belonging to their brother.Their little sister, Rose, and Miss Lambert started along with them in another oanoe.The party paddled ss far as the railway bridge and then turned for home.Everything went merrily along mat'd they reached within a few hundred yards of the Maria street bridge.There the young sister and her friend were ahead a short distance.They heard some splashing behind them and upon k was horrified at seeing the ling in the water.They were so excited at the dreadful sight that they were rendered completely powerless and were unable to render the least assistance.The bodies were recovered an hour later.looking back two sisters stru Even the adorers of Carlyle sometimes grow tired of his talk about \u201cthe veracties,\u201d and wonder whether indeed he was supremely sincere in every movement of his mind.A critic in \u201cThe London Spectator\" takes leave to doubt.\"Carlyle,\u201d he aays, \"was as much a mannerist as Rembrandt, and for much the same reason.Nay, his mannerism often led him into affectations, and affectations cannot be called the most rigidly veracious of the forms of speech.It would be impossible to imitate him so skilfully as he has often been imitated, if it were not essential to Carlyle to write in Carlylese\u2014in other words, to try and mould nature into the favorite attitudes and aspects of his own thought, even when he must have seen clearly that he was putting a violence up n her.i he artist who is a mannerist as well as an artist cannot help falsifying a little when lie secs what might be easily adapted to ids own favorite s\u2019liool of conception.And in this sense undoubtedly Carlyle fell into formula, and into more or less theatrical attidutes which he had discovered his own unique power to render with thrilling effect.' His utter genuineness,\u2019 as Professor Nichol culls his manner, seema to us more than doubtful.A great artist, who is also a great mannerist, can never be utterly genuine.11 is mannerism overlays his sincerity of vision.YVhat Turner was as a landscape-painter, Carlyle was, to a very great extent, as a literary writer, and Turner\u2019s latest stylo, the style in which he painicd \u2018The Angel standing in the Sun,\u2019 for instance, was not unlike the style in which parts of the .\u2018Latter-Day Pamphlets\u2019 and \u2018Shooting Niagara\u2019 were written.\u201d The late Dean Burgeon once told a friend that he on one occasion, when a young man, spent the nisht on an oaken settle in the bedroom of Shakespeare\u2019s birthplace, expecting to be haunted Tyith dreams of the great poet, hut that ho awoke in the gray Octolier morning half dead with cold and fatigue, and completely disillusionized.QUEBEC.Rivkr mi Locp Station, Sept.6\u2014This morning a fashionable marriage was celebrated at Frascrville Church.Mr.Edward T.Leprohqn, genepAl agent of the Massey-Harris Co., and son of Dr.J.L.Lcprohon, Spanish Consul, of Montreal, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Marie Blanche Henriette Globensky, daughter of C.A.M.Globcnsky, Seigneur of Mille Isles.The ceremony was performed by the Rev.Mr.Biais and was attended by tiic aristocracy of the town.The happy couple left by the noon train for Niagara and New York.At 1.30 this morning fire was discovered in the kitchen of the house owned and occupied by Mr.Benjamin Dionne, but before an alarm was given the house was in liâmes.Notwithstanding the incomplete orgaiyrAtion of the lire brigx> b* fire engine was promptly on hand J i>d good work to save the adjoining c.cit**.a, it being then too late to save Mi-.Dionne\u2019s lions* and stablest, whioh were burnt,vo the f*oa»d, a* well as a small house in the yard.he-next house, belonging to Mr.N.Paquet, was also badly damaged.The loss is said to be about $3,000.Mr.Dionne\u2019s property was insured for *1,900.It is believed the fire is the work of an incendiary, as Mr.Dionne was away since Sunday morning in Ste Modeste and no one was in the house.Montreal, Sept.5\u2014Sir Edwin Arnold arrived in the city to-day from Vancouver.He stated that he was gmng to have his new play \"Adjuma, or the Japanese Wife,\u201d produced in America very shortly by Henry Irving, under tbe management of Maior Pond, whom Sir Edwin says is his dear friend.He leaves for New York to nighk Labor Day was celebrated here by a procession of labor bodies and Knights of Labor to the nnmber of 8,000.The principal streets of the city througii which tbe procession passed were gaily decorated and crowded with sight seers.The afternoon was devoted to a picnic and games on the Exhibition Grounds ; 50,000 people were present.The President of the Hebrew Benevolent Society received a letter to-day from the Secretary of the Russo-Jewish Committee, London, Eng., stating that no more Jewish immigrants w\u2019ould bo sent to Canada this year.Mayor McSh&ne last night received a telegram from Vice-Admiral Sir John Hopkins, dated Quebec, saying that he wonld arrive in Montreal on board H.M.S.\u201cMagicienne\u201d on Thursday nexk H.M.S.\"Tartar\u201d will follow about two weeks later.The Mayor SromDes to do all iu bis power with the ouncil to make their stay here pleasurable and agreeable, and they will be given agr&nd reception.Speaking of their arrival an English Alderman expressed the opinion that a civic reception was out of the question.It was not praoticable to have a dance in the City Hall, and he for one would favor getting up a magnificent hall in the Windsor instead by the citizens.The Herald says Saturday\u2019s lacrosse match between the Sm&mrocks and Montrealers was the most disgraceful exhibition that has been witnessed in Montreal for many years, if, indeed, there ever before was an occasion when quite so much brutality and bad temper were exhibited on a lacrosse field.Men fought one another with their fists and with their slicks ; blood flowed os freely as at a Donnybrook fair ; and many of the players were sorry-lookiug sights when the match concluded.All this was witnessed by the finest gathering of the season.The grand-stand was filled with thousands, including many women.It was little wonder that hundreds left before the conclusion of the match.The first public sitting of the Royal Commission on the liqnor traffic will be held here on Friday next.It is probable that various local temperance societies, including the W.C.T.U., will be represented.The French war ships took their departure from Montreal this morning and there was a very large number of citizens ifown on the wharf to bid them good bye.The Admiral thanked the Mayor and cit:z.cns very heartily for the great kindness and hospitality which had been extended to them during their stay.He said that they would ever bear in mind their pleasant visit here.ONTARIO.Ottawa, Sept.5\u2014Advices to-day from St.Annes are to the effect that the health of Premier Abbott shows no improvement.His early retirement is foreshadowed by an editorial this moruing in the Citizen, the Government organ, which says :\u2014\"As for the successorehip to the office of Premier there can he but one opinion.Sir John Thompson is the man.Though only seven years in Parliamentary life, Sir John is recognized as a statesman of the highest calibre, deep in the knowledge of human nature and human affairs, of extensive reading and accurate and varied4 information, an orator and a tactician.Above all, he is one in whom the country has faith, a faith that years ago to be Minister of Justice and at once took a front place in Parliament.Subsequently his talents marked him out for his present post as leader and therein he has-not disappointed public expectation.Now again public opinion ¦elects him, this time as our next Premier, and there is no reason to doubt that he will fill that office with the same skill and success which have characterized his labors throughout his life.\u201d\tj Another evidence of the adaptability of Canadians is foond in the fact that \u201cBilly\u201d Phelan, the telegraph operator who will send the official report of the three big prize fights tn New Orleans to night and Tuesday and Wednesday nights, is a Quebec boy who has lived in Ottawa a good many years.He was employed in the House of Commons the first year, 1887, that the Canadian Pacific Railway had an office there and was operator at the Canadian Pacific Railway station for two or three years after.He left here about4wo years ago and has been in New Orleans a little over a year.There was great competition for the.position of official operator, who will have a place next to the ring, and the Canadian won.Charles Leger, a boy employed in the Citizen office was accidentally drowned while bathing at Kettle Island, three miles below the city, yesterday afternoon.The Lambton demonstration at Petrolia on Tuesday promises to be a most successful affair.It will be attended by the following Ministers who will leave here to day :\u2014Sir John Thompson, Sir Adolphe Caron, Hon.G.E.Foster, Hon.John Costigan, Hon.John Haggart and Hon.J.A.Ouirnet.Hon.John Carling, who is iu Loudon, is also expec\u2018.ed to be present.Hon.J.A.Ch&plcau has been obliged to decline his invitation as his physician forbids his speaking in public for some time yet.The statement of revenue and expenditure for the fiscal year ended 30th June last, which appears in the Canada Gazette, shows that the expectations of the Minister of Finance, when talking of over $3,000,000 sugar duties, have been more than fulfilled, as although there will be no three millions of surplus, us has been the case for the last few years, yet revenue and expenditure have been kept within a reasonable distance of each other and there will be a substantial surplus.The figures, as they stood on 31st August, are as follows, and although there may be some slight changes before the books for last year are finally closed, they will not seriously affect the surplus: Customs, $*20,501,130; Excise, *7,922,345 ; Post Office, *2,653,413 ; Public Works, §3,574.498 ; miscellaneous, §2,251,870.Total, §30,903,262.Expenditure, §36,629,803.Surplus, *273,459.Tho new fiscal year opens well, the revenue for July being $2,656,848, am! the expenditure only *2,149,528, showing a surplus for the month of *507,320.Toronto, Sept.5\u2014The Globe this morning publishes the first of a series of special crop rcjiorts from its commissioner in the North-West.He says the frost has not seriously affected grain at any point.In most districts the larger part of the wheat was cut and stacked before the cold weather appeared, and already more No.1 hard is harvested than the whole of last year's crop totalled.the amount is so small that fanners are pay-ing no attention to tho matter.The Irish Homo Rulers of this city derided to tender a reception to Hon.Edward Blake iu the Horticultural Pavilion on Monday, September 19, and the committee having the affair in charge have so far perfected arrangements as to assure success.Tho members of the Young Men\u2019s Literal Club are to tender a banquet to Mr.Blake, bnt the time and place have not yet teen derided unon.Exhibitors at the Exhibition are busily engaged arranging thoir exhibits and by tomorrow everything will te in order.The rain this morning interfered greatly with the outdoor work, but at noon the weather cleared and there is now every prospect of fine weather.The Exhibition will be formally opened to-morrow afternoon, at two o\u2019clock*, by His Honor the Lieutenant Governor ?Mrs.Kirkpatrick, who will te aceompa: by high dignitaries ami leading citizens, directors of the Exhibition will entertain the Lieutenant-Governor and party ut luncheon previous to the opening.H.C.Aitken, private banker, of Tottenham, Is missing and the bank is in possession of the Bank of Hamilton, which is understood to be the heaviest creditor.Aitken, who is a son of the late Dr.Aitken, of Hamilton, went to Tottenham about six years ago, succeeding W.P.Roberts as manager of the branch of the Bank of Hamilton.A couple of years ago the branch was closed, but Mr.Aitken remained in the village and opened a private bank.He enjoyed the utmost confidence, and his sudden exit created the utmost surprise.It is not thought that depositors will lose mneh.^ Q* Fridatw evening Aubrey Winslow, a book-kooperin the City Water Works Department, left the city suddenly, but as he did not have to handle any funds, but little notice was taken of it.It uow transpires that some mouths ago he got *1,000 from Charlie Leigh, the well-known coach of the Toronto Cricket Club, under the pretence of investing it for him, and Leigh told him last week that be would want to draw about §600 to send his wife to England.Winslow having spent tho money, totdt fright at this and borrowing n number of small sums, amounting in all to about $100, he took the train to Buffalo, where he is now supposed to be.The members of the Cricket Club, with whom Leigh is very popal&r, are doing all they can to recoup their coach, and will probably raise a good amount for his relief.Bishop O'Mahoney, of St.Patrick\u2019s Roman Catholic Church, is dangerously ill.Prayers were offered for film in the city churches yesterday.His condition to-night remains unchanged.A fire broke out in Wilson\u2019s Vinegar Works abont six o\u2019clock to-night, through the spontaneous combustion of some paint and oils in the basement.4 After the flames were extinguished, the dead body of James Brickerden, aged 60, an old and valued employee, was found among the debri*.He was in the building at tho time the fire started and was nnablc to escape.The deceased leaves a widow and six children.The damage by fire to tho building and stock is about $6.000.St.Catharines, Sept.5\u2014Early this morning the fast express passing this city at 1.55 o\u2019clock, collided with a freight train at Jordan Station, seven miles west of here.As there is a bridge over the Twenty Mile Creek at this point, both trains were going slow, otherwise the accident would have been of a more serious character than it was.The fireman of the express train, named Roddau, of London, jumped, but landing on the platform of the aiding he slippel, and fell between the siding and the train and under tho wheels, and his head and one leg were completely severed from his body.The other two engineers and fireman jumped and escaped without injury.The fronts of the two engines and the cabs were pretty badly wteck-ed, also the front of the smoking car on the express train, but although the smoking car was pretty well tilled with passengers, no one was injured.The wrecking outfit was immediately sent for and the track was clear by seven o\u2019clock in the morning.The body of the unfortunate fireman Was brought to this city, where an investigation will probably be held by the coroner.Sutton West, Sept.5\u2014The infant son of a man named Arthur York, died here yester day morning under suspicious circumstances.The father lias all along borne an unsavory reputation.An inquest was held to-day, with the result that a verdict of manslaughter was returned by the jury against York.He is under arrest.NEW BRUNSWICK.St.John, Sept.5\u2014Burglars entered the residence of Mr.Charles McKee, Princess street, the other evening when Mr.McKee and his wife were at tho opera, and carried off a diamond ring, a *5 bill and other articles of considerable value.No trace was found of how entrance was gained to the house.NOVA SCOTIA.- Halifax, Sept.5\u2014A Belgian miner named Pierre Bouquete was killed in Piclou County Colliery on Friday.His partner had put iu a mine shot and blown out the middle as usual, and proceeded to bore a hole for a corner ahot.Bouquete proceeded to further mine the corner, without examining the coal, but the centre shot fractured the walls of the coal which gave way, killing him.H.M.S.\u201cTartar\u201d is in the dry dock and will come out to-dajr, having been repainted.It was thought at first that some of her plates were damaged, but this proved not to be the case.The \u201cTourmaline\u201d and \"Partridge\u201d are expected here early this week.The Intercolonial.( To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Sir,\u2014As I said in my last communication on this Intercolonial Question, I send you a third and very long letter, not only recapi-tnlating all that I wrote in my previous ones on this subject, but adding new features to the question, and new proof of the immense advantages we could get by the C.P.R.taking up the I.C.R.As I said also, I will copiously cite facts and figures lianded to me by a friend very well posted iu railway matters, knowing entirely, what he is talking about and favoring like me and so many others, the transfer of the I.C.R.to a private company in the interest of the country at large.I will speak first of the necessity and advantage of a fast Atlantic steamship service, and secondly of the facility and willingness of the C.P,_R.to undertake it,provided they catnfreely reach at any time the oceanic harbours of St.John and Halifax.Tbs establishment of a fast Atlantic steamship service equal (o the test enjoyed by New York has come to be the most pressing need of the Dominion.The advantage to the country of quickening the passage across the Atlantic of its people, its mails and its high class freight is obvious to everybody.The advantage to the country of an improved steamship service ou the Atlantic to supplement the service to China aud Japan already established by the Canadian Pacific Company and was a means towards the establishment of ahigli class service between Vancouver and Australia, must also be obvious to everybody, but the indirect advantage of such an Atlantic service as will make Canada one of the great highways of travel is a still greater advantage.Population everywhere follows and spreads from the great lines of communication.Comparing the population along auy one of the groat lines of through travel with that along a local line in the same vicinity passing through equally good territory and containing equal natural resources, it will be found in every case that the population is vastly greater along the line of through travel.The advertising advantage of through travel to any country and particularly to a new country is very great.Tho vast number of passengers crossing the Atlantic to New York know little or nothing of Canada, its resources and advantages, and what they hear of it after reaching New York is not to its good.We must turn a fair share of ibis tide of travel through Canada if we expect to keep pace with our neighbours.A fast Canadian Aliuntic steamship line will have no difficulty in securing % full passenger business during the six months when the steamships may come to Quebec and Montreal, between which points and the principal centres of traffic in the west the railway journey is not excessive, these ports having nearly an equal advantage with New York ; but during the other six months when the steamships must ply to and from Halifax, the difficulty of securing the necessary business to support the line will bo very great, for the passenger steamships must iu order to meet tbe requirements of the present day te devoted almost exclusively to passengers and can carry very little freight, aud it will require an extraordinary effort to induce travel to and from Halifax during tins most unfavourable port of the year, ft can only be done through the most perfect railway service and by working the railway and sleamsliip services togetlier as parts t.f oue machine.It will te necessary that a passenger leaving Chicago, for instance, shall know absolutely that when he takes tb* train to connect with the steamship at Halifax 1 the steamship will wot leave until that particular train has arrived.Thure must be no uncertainties or delays and there must be 110 weak spots in the clutin.The Canadian Pacific Railway Company has an enormous interest in the establishment of a fast Atlantic service.It has more than *250,000,000 invested in railway and steam-ship^lines, nearly all of which would be U ne-fitted by such an ocean connection.It i« becoming more and more apparent that ro private company can find the necessary large amount of capital for the establishment ol a first class steamship service\u2014a service requir* ing foar passenger steamships costing not less than $2,000,000 each.Such service can be provided by the Canadian Pacific C* m-pany, which company is financially able to carry out the enterprise, and it lias nitre-over such an enormous interest in the matter as to ensure its being carried out in smh a broad and handsome way as to secure success.But the Canadian Pacific Company only reaches as far east as St.John, and would te dependent upon the Intercolonial Railway for a connection with its steamships at Halifax - a section of railway beyond its control\u2014and the company could not be expected to risk the large amount of moi ey required for the fast Atlantic steamship ter-vice on the faith of a connection beyond iU control and which might prove to be inefficient.The only way to meet this difficulty is to turn over to the* Canadian Pacific Company the I.C.R.on oonditioua which should fully protect the interests of the Provinces in which its lines are situated.It has teen urged that since the loss on tl.n Government lines, including the eastern extension of the Intercolonial, tho line on Cai e Breton and the P.E.Island Railway hi d reached something near *1,000,000 per anmnr.and since the Government has been willing to pay a big subsidy per annum for a fa-t Atlantic service meeting its requirements, the country wonld not alone practically get the fast Atlantic service for nothing but a good deal of money to boot, if the Canadian Pacific Company could be induced to take *^er the Government railway system and maintain and work it efficiently at its own cost and risk, the loss from the working of these railways having been very much mote than the subsidy that wonld have to Be paid in respect of the steamship line.Fears have been expressed that if these lines were turned over to a private company a practical monopoly would be created ami excessive rales would be made ; btit this would be easily met by fixing the existing rates on the Intercolonial Railway as tho maximum rates to be charged at any time by the Company or by leaving the lariff in tho hands of the Governor-Gcneral-in-Council.The Dominion at large would clearly be the gainer by such an arrangement as has been suggested and no one who is familiar with the Government administration of the Inter-eoloniaWtailway is likely tc contend that the Provinces directly interested would not be immensely'tenefitted by having the property managed under proper restrictions as to rote by a private Company which would be dependent upon its own efforts and not upon the public chest for support, which would have a vital interest in developing traffic along the lines in creating and supporting industries, in attracting travel and in courting the good will of the people of these Provinces\u2014a Company which would do in shot t what the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has already done with such marvellous results on its lines.Everybody knows that it has created in what was an uninhabited wilderness but a few years ago, a vast traffic which quite puts to shame some of the older Provinces which have been settled for a hundred years or more.There can be no doubt that if the Canadian Parifio Company had the Intercolonial Railway to-day it would at once apply the methods which have made it so successful elsewhere.Among other things it would doubtless at once seek to attract to the Maritime Provinces a share of the vast travel which go.baiLlaIrgE, Asst.City Enginéëf.August 31, 1892.OITY\" H-A-LIj, Quebec, 30th August, 1892.City Engineer*» OflHcfc.PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed tenders, endorsed \u201cTender for Firewood,\" and addressed to the under-sSned, will received up to WEDNESDAY, the 7th September next, at 4 P.M., for the annual supply of 300 Cords of 1* irowood, more or less, all birch, or all maple, or such proportion of each as the Committee may decide upon, at ao much per cord for maple, and ao much per cord for birch* all 3 feet long and French measure, delivered where required and corded, as required for the City Hall and Recorder\u2019s Court, the Fire Brigade, Police, etc.Each tender shall cover the City Treasurer s receipt for a deposit of 8100.00 to be forfeited in case of refusal to sign the contract, and be retained till the contract is executed to the satisfaction of the Corporation.Each tender to be made on a blank form iu UMILB«WU1.I vO be had at this office, apd sub* anu in 1890.He wns a very good wicket-1-two responstble jporties^ willing to assure ie keeper, a thoroughly sound bat and an ex- .iViVersltjr Cricket Club highest batting average, with the high average of 49.Mr.Meidon belongs to County Galway, is 23 | cars of age, a B.À.and an LL.B.ofDublin Juivereity, and a solicitor by profession.J.W.Hynes was on the first eleven of Dublin University and holds the record average for the University, via., 64, and the Irish record score in a fiPst-cksM match^ vi£ : 241 not out in the University vs.Dilblin Garrison match.He is a gpld medalist, a seniortnoderator of Dublin University, LL.B., and a barrister in large practice dn thé Con-rtaiight Ci cuit;\tt i.\t\u2022 Is.Johnson played for Dublin Lriivet1-sity eleven from 39 to \u201992.He is a county Kildare man, six feet high, a fast right-hand bowler and a very sound bat.Pascoe William Grenfell Stuart played for All Ireland this season vs.I.Zingari.He is a splendid fielder, stylish bat aud fair change bow 1er.Bud Hamilton\u2014He played for All Ireland in \u201981 and \u201992, and is the mainstay of the Dundrum C.C.He is a very fine left hand slow medium bowler, a good bat and a brilliant fielder.Thomas Ivoy Considine has been a coo-sistent scorer for the Phienix Cricket C^uu since he joiuod it iu \u201991.He is one of the Of tbe lllgbesl QaalUy and parity.AfcuU by the Latest Processes, and Newest and Best Machinery, not surpassed anywhere.LUMP SUGAR, In 50 and 100 lb.bexes.\u201cCROWN\u201d Granulated, Special Brand, the finest which can be made.EXTRA GRANULATED, Very Superior Quality.CREAM SUGARS, (Not dried).YELLOW SUGARS, Of all Grades and Standards.SYRUPS Of all Grades in Barrels and half Barrels.SOLE MAKERS, Of high class Syrups in Tins, 2 lb.and 8 lb each.June 11.1892.nov29-ta.th&*at-L J.R.H.WHITE, Quebec.J.H.PHILLIPS, Manager, Tadousac.August 30, 1892.\tjune6 ST.LOUIS HOTEL, QUEBEC, CANADA.THE LEADING HOTEL OF THE CITY, Also proprietors of Quebec Steam Laundry The finest and most complete in Canada Terms\u2014Moderate.WM.Q.O\u2019NEILL' % MANAGER April 26 1892 QTJEBE c Steam Dyeing, Scouring -AND-»-» Carpet Cleaning Works, 4 & 6 McMahon Street!
