[" T MONTREAL, TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1884.LAST EDITION.Vol.xxiii.No.¦w.W LAST EDITION.Urllkt, murnat/:, and the Molsons Bank, petitioner The case waa In connection with the Sheriff\u2019s sale of the Hodgson ostate.The bank petitioned that the sale of the property to Mr.C.B Carter, as the representative of J.H.Hodgson éhould be set aside, on the ground that at the sale Mr.Elliott, the Molsons Bank representative, bid $10,500 for the estate which bo thought was accepted.Mr.Carter, however, subreqaently made a bid of the same amount which wss really accepted, the property being awaidtd to him.The court held that Elliott had made a Iona ride bid, and that therefore It should have precedence of one for tbe same amount made later, 'ihe petition to set aside the sale was therefore granted.Messrs.Kerr & Carter, who represented the plaintiffs, will at once appeal from the decision.TEMPERANCE IN HOCHELAGA.Within tbe past few days two most interesting conceits have been given In St.Mary's Hall, In rear of the chnrch.This hall 1s two stories high, the lower story being the Band of Hope hall and Sunday-school, the upper \u201c The Pioneer Temple of Honor and Temperance Hall.1' The first public ontotteinment was rendered by a larve choir of nearly thirty.The piece waa \u201c Eva,1' a service of song\u2014very com mon In England now.bnt rather rare In Canada.The ball was crowded, and the varions songs In the life of little Eva were rendered In fine style.Quite a good sum was realized for fnrnl turo for the halt The last entertainment was a real live free temperance meeting\u2014fine temperance and other songs, and a most stirring address by the Rev.Mr.Dixon, of St Jude\u2019s.THE WEST END TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.Last Saturday evening's concert was the most successful aud one of the moat enjoyable of the reries.The ball was crowded with a good-humored and respectable audience.Byasystem of Imprerement several gentlemen present were compelled to bold forth from the platform nt an instant's notice, and npon subjects handed to them by tbo Chairman when they faced tbe audience.The whole latter half of tbe programmera* furnished and delightfully carried out by tbe Sabrevole students from across tbe atreet.At yesterday afternoon's meeting an excellent Impromptu choir led the slnstog.and Mr.S.S.Bain gave a grand solo, aa well aa a attiring address.Both meetings resulted In lengthening the pledge roll, and there la evidence of great good having been wrought in the community by tbe aoclety during Its few months' existence.CANNOT GIVE HER NAME.The woman who was found In a fit on Wellington street last Friday, and waa taken to tira Node Dame Hospital, haa been paralyzed ever since, and baa not been able to give her name.It la not known to whom she belongs, and the la In a low condition.\t* CITY ITEMS Yesterday wss the anniversary of the asssnt-satlon of Thomas D\u2019Arey McGee.The first of the naual Passion week services was largely attended In moat of the city Angll can churches last night Mr.F.X.Moban, the defeated candidate for the Last Ward at the recent el®ctt©na,wm enter an action to unseat Aid.Pravost.on the ground that he la not, by property and in other ways, qualified to sit.Thomas Jackson, who was referred to on Saturday aa being In a very low condition, has since been improving.His Illness has been painful bnt not very serions, as no Inflammation has cet In.The Chief of Police has received a printed circular from the Minister of Marine and Flab erles, giving Instruction for tbe punishment of ifcoae breaking the fishery laws between April 15th and May 15th.attendance, so as to make this season more at cessful than previous ones, and to bring Moi real up to other cities of the Dominion in tl matter.ladles icbool, at the corner of Peel and St.Catherine streets, on Friday and Saturday last.Ihere y-aa quite a large display of needlework and otjer fancy goods.The proceed! are to be given to the women\u2019s ward in tho Montreal General Hospital. rôEflDAY;

when she strock the third time 1 was on deck and saw the lights.1 did not seo the captain when I was on deck that night I cannot aay whether the vrutch kept a good lookout.I eaw uo drunken teas among the officers or crew.The ship tqok a heavy list to port, and 1 then got to the port rail and jumped Into a boat, hanging to the dnvltts, and, an the ahtp went uuder the water, tbe ooat Heated.When 1 got Into the boat there were five others In her, and as we tloated off we picked up another passenger, who was an Itallati.We did not see any others.The tea was too heavy.We had to work contlnn ally to keep the boart free from water, as It ruahed into her from all sides.We then made for the shore.The sea was running so high that I could not see any person washed off the ship.We could see the oreakers going over tbe vessel, but could not see what was transpiring on board.Prom the time I jumped into the host I saw nothing more of the ahtp.It was very dark and foggy at this tlrno.I heard the fog whistle blowing just before the steamer struck the last time.The ship struck once after this before we left in the jolly-boat The ship\u2019s whistle had been going occasionally that evening.I do not know whether It blew after eight o'clock.Oar boat did not capsize.We had great difficulty In landing, and had hard work to keep tbe boat from being dashed against the shore.We kept her off till about one o\u2019clock am.The men on shore hailed to us.antHold us whereto land.John Nlederman, being sworn, sali I am a passenger from Antwerp.I was not on the steamer\u2019s decks before eight o\u2019clock of the night of the wreck.I was In bed the first time the steamer struck.I was not very much frightened.I put on my boots and coat and rushed on deck before the steamer struck the second time.The first thing I observed was Sambro light on the port bow.It was raining and hazy at the time.1 was never at sea before.When the vessel went down I was standing on the bridge with tbe captain and the doctor.For about three minutes 1 was under water, and, npon coming to tba surface, I made for the mainmast and slid down the malntopmaat stay and foregaff, and then got to the topsail yard, where 1 found the captain.I saw Sambro light on my left and another, In motion, on my right, which was probably Chobucto light.The captain was perfectly sober.Saco Nicola Vincenzo, an Italian, belonging to Salerno, Italy, was sworn and testified\u2014I nave followed the sea ten years.1 was a passenger on l>oard the steamer; was in bed the first time the vessel struck, and thought It was about twelve o\u2019clock.I was then awake and had all my clothes on.The second time the ship struck 1 threw off my clothes and jumped overboard Into the water.After about fifteen minâtes\u2019 swimming hand over hand, I was pulled into the jolly boat which contained the others.I think It was about two o'clock In tha morning when we reached Sambro Island.Saw no drunkenness among the crew.Do not know what caused tbe loss of the ship.The Investigation was adjourned.An Inquest was held on the bodies recovered at Sambro Island to-day by htaglatraie Fleming, of Ketch Harbor, when a verdict of \u2018 ' was returned.accidental drowning Miscellaneous.HOT X BUNS Publications.87,500.00.IN \u201cTItUTH\" BIBLE COMPETITION, CLOSINU MAV \u2018J7th.NUM11KK TIN., The publisher of Toronto Truth this time far turpasaea any of his many other very liberal offers for correct answers to Bible Oueetlons.It la a mat vel bow be can do It, for we know he gives the awards exactly as we bave stated la previous notices of his pleu.Long lists of prize winners\u2019 names and addresses (oven to street and number when In cities) ate given In every alternate Issue of Truth.We can assure onr readers that all the rewards offered below will, as In the past contests, be cheerfully and promptly banded over to the lix Kundrtd ami tueuty tlvr perasns who send, according to iha conditions stated below, correct answers to tbese Bible Questions given by one of the leading clergymen of the Methodist Church.The questions are very difficult this time, off of which must be answered correctly in order to secure any of the rewards offered.Here are TIIK BIBLE (Jl'EMTlON*.1st.\u2014Wno wat that foreign King otlougeat name who for a time ruled orer tbe Israelites I Und.\u2014Name the\trehru among tbe kings of Israel 1 3rd.\u2014Name the shvrutt reign among the kings of Israelt TIIK UtCWAItllH.1 Klegsnt Kosewood Plano.*510 00 1 Twolve-Stoji Cabinet Organ.jo 00 \u2018g Oentleuu-n'sBolldOoM fetem-winding and stein-setting, bos eases, elegantly eu> graved Elgin Watches.UiO\t00 3 Maanlflceia Triple Kilter-plated Tea ber vices.0 ptei os.33000 \u2018t 1 adies' Solid Uold stem-winding and stem- settlng «ienulne Elgin Watubes.VOO 00 '2 Celebrated Wauror Sewing Uaebluea.130 00 6 tientlemen\u2019a Elegant Sulld Coin Silver Hunting case Watches.123\too 3 Uentlemeu's Open face Solid Coin Silver Watches.72 oil 0 Solid Nickel Silver Uuutlng caie Watches 111 00 0 Solid Nickel Silver, open-face, heavy bevelled crystal.Watches.133\t00 0 Aluminum (iold Him tin g case Watches .120 OO & Ueautifnl Solid tlold Diamond Itiuga.55 ou 11\tSolid Uoldliein Kings.o'J 00 12\tKeuowned Waterbary Wa\u2019chcs.OU OU 11 Half dozen Seta solid triplo sUvcr plated Dessert Spoons.39 QO 11 Half dozen sets of solid triple silver- plated Tea Kpoona.Cü\u201909 109 Copies, sumptuously bouud.of bbako-.\u201e .speare's Works.253 50 139 Elegant triple silver-plated Uutter Knives 139 00 Businesa Cards.mU TIIK VA1UIIAIUN (JUATK.IIAK Is a plain mechanical device for supplying a sufficient amount of air to the Coal In a Boiler Furnace, so as to consume it end Us reauliant gases, end I MKM TIIK KNTIUK IIKAT KKOUI (T.The Bar offers three advantages, either of which, alone, Is worth more than us cost, lei.A brishl Pire «-uuiil throuilioui without lubor, Vlnd.- A an\\ lug of ut least TKN PKKCKNT In furl.3r»l.- Tbe life of tbr llur will ut Irnut equal twice that of nay ollirr.o.-.T11?.FAIKMAIUN MANKU.CO.OF CANADA, No.4 toru Ksrtuangr.lend for Cireumrs.\t' 'piJE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY.LAND UEUtLATlONM.\t, The Company offer Lands within the Hallway Belt along the main lino, and la Southern Manitoba, at prices ranging from B'd.30 FKK At UK upwards, with conditions requiring cultivation.A rebate for eultlvatlon of fiom 81.*23 10 83.30 per acre, according to price paid for tbe land allowed on certain conditions.Thl Company also offer landa WITMOtT CONIMTIOKM OF HKTTI.KMKNT OR CULTIVATION.THE KKSKRVKl» SECTIONS along tbe Main Une.tr., the odd numbered Sections within one mile of the Hallway, are now offered for sale on advantageous terms, to parties prepared to undertake their Immediate cultivation.« TERMS OF PAYAIENT!

dynamite.The money will be literally thrown in the river.We «hall have at least an interesting experiment.Ald.Stevenson is light in his desire to turn the waterspout* from the sidewalks and conduct the water to tha drains.The regulation should probably be amended as he propose».\tg The City Council has resolved to ask the Provincial (iovernmect to abolish the sinecure of the Fire Commissioners.If these efhcials work, like the coroners, for fees instead of salaries, there would then be more fire enquiry.St.JkaV Baptiste kt the City Council for money for the eomi-centennial of the societies in June.If the city can spare a moderate turn it would certainly be a pleasant thing for our French-Canadian citi-z»oe.They appreciate a kindness of that soit very thoroughly.The St.Jeas Baptiste is a festival that was originated as a patriotic one and as such all Canadians have a right to share in it.Sib Charlw Tcpper says the Government has under consideration the necessity of requiring the Grand Trunk Rsllwiiy to carry its track either over or under Wellington street.This is a most reasonable demand, aid when enforced the way will be clear to extend the principle.The level crossing ia not a nuisance on one street only but on very many.Mouutaiu street, where a gallows has been erected for such as prefer such a bridge to croasiug the track, and other streets parallel with it, are almost continually blocked.Among the able men who have from time to lime occupied Montreal pulpits, the Ksv.J.S.Black will long be remembered, and that his departure will leave :i blank is tes-tifled by the way in which it has been signalized by those who surround him.There are suggestions that Ur.Gibson, former pastor of the church, should be invited back to it.Dr.tlibaou is now one of the leading 1'resbyteriau ministers of the world, and should he return to Montreal, which ia Inirdly to be hoped for, would be a very gnat acquisition.The LdjI'OR Sellers had a meeting last night.The breweisund distillers were not there, but had subscribed large sums to their cause and wished them s 11 prosperity.No doubt they did.These brewers aud distillers are not to be called grog sellers or i urn sellers or anything of (hat sort.They sell too much liquor to bo so classed, but they wish the grog sellera prosperity.These liquor sellers declare open war aga uat the City Council, which has been tyrannical.It has considered the fifty thousand householders and not the five hundred tavern keepers and groggery keepers.But they can manage the city* They will go to (Quebec and have the city by the threat.Mr.Ujbertsou will bo their man in this emergency.Mackay is a name that has been connected with many good works.Among other worthy deeds, the late Joseph Mackay left ten thousand dollars for a professorship in Montreal Presbyterian College.His sur-vivirg brother, Edward, supplemented this by a uift of forty thousand dollars and called the professorship after his brother.At his death the late Edward Mackay left un thousand dollars to found a chair in the college.Now his three nephews have added forty thousand dollars and call the professorship after their uucle.The act could have hardly been better chosen.It was following fitmily tradition and will be welcomed as an exceedingly valuable addition to sn institution whoso «usefulness must to fe'it by coming generations for good.The Judgment of the Privy Council deciding that the Mississippi is a floatable stream, and that Mr.Caldwell lias the right to pass his timber down the stream by paying Mr.McLaren for the use of improvements made by him, is a just and a righteous one.Had the decision been the ottier way, Mr.McLaren couli have foictd Mr.Caldwell to sell his timber limits to him at whatever price he liked to give him, for without the means afforded by the stream of getting out the timter the limits would have been useless.Mr.Caldwell was a Liberal and Mr.McLaren a Conservative, and the dispute between the Liberal Government of Ontario and the Conservative Government of the Dominion arose, it is to bo feared, in a great measure ont of party antipathies.The Government declared Db intention yeeterday with regard to the Newfoundland grievances.The obnoxious duty on seal oil packages is rot to be levied.This duty, which suggested the method of retaliation on the part of tho Newfoundland Govern-meat, was an imposition, and the Government has done well to repudiate any intention of collecting such a duty.The inspec-lion of fish oils is not hereafter to be compulsory.The greatest grievance of all, however, the compulsory inspection of fish, is to be continued.This was explicitly announced by the Minister of Marine and Fisheries.This determination was probably come to more out of consideration for the interests of the Canadian fishermen than of the Canadian consumer.The inspection is misleading, because fish which inspeebnumber one here, will, after standing a month in new pickle, turn out to be only number three.It is also incorrect, for sometimes fish which have only inspected number three turn out number two after standing for a time.The Wreck op the unfortunate Waite Cioas liner,\u201cDaniel .Steinmao,\u2019' is now being investigated, and if the captain was guilty of any act of carelessness or misjudgment he wiil no doubt be heavily punished ; for when a great loss of life occurs, tho community is not satisfied until 8)mo one's head has fallen.Cne point in the captain\u2019s statement is most important to Canadians, that is that he nevtr heard the ftfg horn on Sambro Island.This reef is one of the most dangerous on our coast, and no inconsiderable sum is yearly spent to make it as harmless as possible.If what the capt&iu states is correct, however, this money is worse than wasted, for it would be far bettor for navigators to be certain that there would be no feer horn or lighthouse than to expert one they could not find.The matter is a very grave one indeed, and should be followed to the very bottom.If it is found that the fog horn was not sounded when it should have been, the Government would do well to discover whether what could take place at hambro could not takr place at every lighthouse along our iton-bound eotsts.This is a matter that cannot be trilled with.The Canadian sea coasts are as dangerous as any in the world, and they must be most carefully guarded or commerce will not come to our ports.The Tkkriulk Forest Fire which, by destroying the turpentine forest, put an end to the business of four or live counties in North Carolina, and indicted an almost incalculable amount of damage, was caused by a brush fire, us ninety-nine out of a hun* dieil forest fires are.In this case,tho man who started the brush fire was more than usually criminally careless, for a fire in tho centre of a pitch pine forost is not unlike an unprotected candle in a powder magazine.All this damage, and all the damage which is sustained every year all over America, through brush fires, is caused by ignorance.If backwoods public opinion of looking upon h tree as an object hateful to nature, which ought to be cut down and uitt rly dofrtoroyed, considered it as one of the best fruits of the earth, every atom of which was precious, there would be no nr ore bnn-h lires resulting in forest fires.If these idea* shaped our forest regulations our forests instead of tapidly decreasing illicit oven increase, and a great source of national wealth would be perpetuated.To bring this to pass is too much like philanthropy for popular governments.Instead of disseminating knowledge and increasing the valuo of their natural resources, they prefer to import exotic manufactures by means of protective tariffs.THE GRAND SCRAMBLE.The royal road to wealth in these days is tho railroad.Any other method is in comparison a slow coach.Governments vote away millions every year to the happy men with railway schemes.Happv is the company that is able to grab most in the scramble of the people\u2019s earnings.A few weeks ago Parliament voted thirty millions to a company, to which only four years ago it voted twenty-five million dollars in money, twenty-five million acres of land and about twenty-eight million dollars\u2019 worth of constructed road.In order to get that thirty millions voted by members it was necessary to pay for their support.The bill was presented to Parliament yes-teiday by the Government, and not a complete bill either, yet the amount of it is not small.The Province of Quebec is to be paid out of the Dominion treasury $2,391,000, ostensibly as a subsidy of twelve thousand dollars a mile on the Montreal and Ottawa railway, and six thousands mile on the Quebec and Montreal railway.1 he Provincial Government expected twelve thousand a mile on both sections, or $3,348,000.But tho members voted the Canadian Pacific subsidy before getting the cash in hand.Who sups with the devil mast have a long spoon.This sum is going out of the Dominion Treasury all tho same, however: and who is to get it f Who but the Caradian Pacific Railway Company.A subsidy of nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars is proposed to this Company to enable it to secure a road to Quebec.This load is to have some mysterious power not possessed by the other two roads, for it is to make Quebec the summer port of the Dominion.Bath these subsidies are granted, however, simply because it was impossible to get the vote of thirty million to the Canadian Pacific without giving them.So there is $3,:>4s,-000 added to the price of the Canadian Pacific.It must not be taken for granted that Canada will got another foot of railway for this great subsidy.The subsidy to tbo Canadian Pacific is to enable them to \u201c extend\u201d the line to Quebec, not construe ta load, \u201ctheextension\u201d being merely secured \u201c in such a manner as may be approved by \u201c the governor-in-couucil\u201d or, in other words, by the Government.It is not proposed really to build a line to Quebec, but to put the Canadian Pacific in a position to take the North Shore road from the Grand Trunk Railway.The Government proposes granting about nine millions to railways.A good proportion of tho whole amount will go to lines which are intended eventually to fall into the hands of the Canadian Pacific Railway.(QUEBEC

Quebec, April.7.Tbe Ammbly this afternoon received a message from the Lieutenant-Governor, returning thanks for the address in reply to tbe speech from the throne.A bill was to day introduced by Mr.Picard to amend the Act relating to vehlclea used on winter roads in a portion of Richmond and Wolfe, where a number of prosecutions had lately lieen Instituted, though tbo Act had never gone into force in those parts, and no public Injury had resulted.Mr.Demers brought in a bill to amend the Quebec License Act by subjecting licenses for temperance hotels to certain formalities.He explained that this measure was Intended to promote the cause of temperance by compelling applicants for so-called temperance hotel licenses to first obtain permission from their municipal councils, instead of having snch licenses issued to them without any formality by the revenue inspectors on payment of a fee of He added that the public accounts showed over 200 of these licenses Issued last year throughout the province\u2014a large proportion of them being only a cloak for tho Illicit sale of intoxl-catlngdrlnks.Mr.Demers also Intrcdneed a bill to extend the Insurance Act of tho lite Province

respecting the dangers which threaten provincial autonomy from Federal encroachments.Speaking slowly, and with empbasl*.be began by ettylng that the vindication of provincial rights was his object.He had been opposed at first to confederation, but had loyally accepted it as an accomplished fact, and resolved to help its working ae far a* lay In his power.The views of its autnors had not been realized, but he would Indulge In no triumph.He contended that our autonomy was threatened with real danger and that the Province should rise In unanimous protest against that danger, which lay in the centrallzln?tendencies of Sir John and his colleagues.He then went on to argue that, with the exception of those of which they had specially deprived themselves in favor of the Do-minion, the Provinces retained under the Confederation all their former rights, except the right of «llsavowal, which was vested in the Dominion representative of the Crown, and he showed how this power had betu abused by Sir John to carry out his favorite idea of legislative union, referring in this connection also to the centralizing tendencies of tbe Supreme Court He cited Bumerons Instances in Loth cases and appealed to mat y authorl'.ics to show that all these tendencies wete in the direction of unconstitutional encroachment, which was unfortunately encouraged by tbe financial straits of Quebec and other of the province*.He dwelt particularly on blr John\u2019s «hurtling conduct on the license onsstlOD.giving warm praise to certain members from this Province and certain journalists wco had defended that Provincial autonomy which it was our dnty in maintain intact at all hazards.He also warmly enlogized Mr.Blake\u2019s stand on the subject and was reading to the House a long extract from that hon.gentleman's speech, when six o'clock, the hour for the dinner recea*.wss reached.After recess yesterday, Mr.Mercier resumed his remarks, continuing them until abont half-past nine and concluding with a powerful ap peal to members to stand by the rights of their Province.Altogether his speech wan one of the moat brilliant and telling ever delivered in the Quebec Legislature, and had a marked effect upon hla hearers.He went ex-tc-naively into the constitutional history of the country, and quoted largely from authorities, acts and jndgments affecting provincial right* He showed that Mr.Mackenzie had always declined to Interfere in matters affecting Pro vlnces, and Instanced the case of tbe New Brunswick School Act.He said bis resolntlon should probably have come from the Government, bat as a representative of tbe people he too bad an undoubted right to move in the matter.The other Provinces had protested against Dominion Interference, and this, the pioneer of tbe Dominion, should not remain behind.As toon as the Opposition leader had sat down, Mr.Watts roee and with a few remarks on the Importance of the House having an opportnntty to prononnee upon the question pquarely, he moved the previous question, a proceeding which ruled ontall amendments and forced members to vote yea or nay on tbo main question.Thii was evidently a bombshell thrown into the MlniAterlal camp, and consternation was painted on every face on the .Speaker's right.Tke Attorney-General protested against the Opposition tactics, complaining that they were mean and small He said that members on his tide felt aa strongly on the subject of Federal ercroachraent as the Opposition, but differed with them as to the means to bo taken to prevent them.He promised that before the end of the tertian member* wonld have ample op pormnlty of protesting against Federal Interference, but he declined to speak on the mérita of iheouestlon now, In view of tbe evident detlre to make it a party one.Mr.Irvine supported the resolmions, though he did not agree wl:h all that bad been said in (heir favor.Be condemned the disallowance of the River* and Streams Act and referred to the fact that Intelligence had been received of a judgment of the Privy Council in favor of Caldwell in the case of McLaren and Caldwell, which meant a victory for the Province of Ontario.The Dominion Government, which dtiallowed tbo Rivera and Btreama Act fer party purpose*, declined however to rescind tbe ecandalous Gold Mining Act of the Province.A* to the appointment of Queen\u2019s Counsel, ho *»ld (hero had been no encroachment on pro vandal right*, such appointment* being vested in tbe Governor General only.Tuesday.A.pwl 8, 18&4.The Hon.Mr.Lynch characterized the moving of the previous question as an Ingtnlou method of evading a vote on the point at issue without elucidating It He made light of the alarm on the subject of danger to provincial autonomy, continuing that nothing bad ao far bva-u «loue at Ottawa to Interfere with provln clal rtgbU except in the lleonse act, which had boeu dealt with in the speech from the throne, and in reference to which the provincial act would be enforced.The Hon.F.(1.Matcband followed, defending Mr.Watts\u2019 action, and the debate wa.continued by Meant.Garneau, Nantel and Faucher on the Government aide and Mr.Joly for the Oppcbltlon.Finally Mr.Lemieux moved an adjournment, and after some cross tiring ba tween Mr.Tntllon and Mr.Marcler, tbe foraaer, who htd previously been wanting to call a vote, consented to allow the debate to ba oontlnuad until to day.The Home then adjourned.IWPOKTANT DILLS AND TICKLISH qUIHTlONa, The lollowing are tbe moat important notice* placed on the order psiper to-day : Mr.Fiegeau, on

would do a great deal of good in protecting themselves.They would havetoetacd prepared to guard their rights.He did not know what the action of tbe City Council would be, but if they conspired against, them, and insisted upon granting only 150 llctnsef, every man should usa all tbe iullaence he could bring to bear upon the aldermen to obtain jrs ice In any case, they should proceed as if the new law bad no existence.The blanks neder the Provincial iaw could ba obtained fronifMr.Lambe, and if the Council persisted in us arbitrary course, they could go to Quebec, and as nearly all of them had some influence with some member of Parliament, they should be able to get the action of the Council overruled, and a fairer proportion of licenses to tbe population than one hundred and fifty established.Mr.J.Rlendean said that the Hon.Mr.Talllon had expressed to him the opinion that every man who did a legitimate business would get a license, but tbe man who pnt two plugs of tobacco and a pipe into his window as an excuse to sell whiskey would cot Mr.Hogan said that thtt was exactly what the Association wanted and would endeavor to obtain.A good many members tb< n marched ap and* put

address, which was principally devoted to showing the unobjectionable character of thslr association and the gieat good it would do.Tho application contains no hidden mysteries, merely asking that tke undersigned wine dealers, etc., be permitted to form themselves Into an association the objects of which ia to unite the members ef the trade for protection as against arbltary measures, to protect
