Giles & lespie, Ansley & Martin only commenced .J ! business on the 1st of December last.Mrelties in Mead left fsr England to-day to make spring purchases.The fire originated in the third story among the straw goods, its origin is ; àb present a mystery, the only fire on that flat was in a stove dis¥at from the place } where the fire was first discovered about 8 feet.It was only through the great exertions on the part of the firemen that the fire was prevented spreading to the ad- Joining buildings.Great excitement prevailed and the streets in the vicinity were crowded with spectators.The building is owned by Mr.J.Carlow and is insured in the Royal for $20,000 ; damage $6,000.LERY, is, &.3, &C rhere./ = FINANCE COMMITTEE: rm rm ALDERMANIC COURTESY.t Our readers will perhaps remember that several days ago we commented, in connec- dion with a report of the Finance Committee, on the complete renovation that had ' taken place in the room where the Committee usually meets, in which everything ter BOB was perfect but the accommodation provided for the press.We must acknowledge that nks, inthe latter respect we were somewhat hasty, as we did not credit the officials with the good intention which they say they LAR possessed, for it now seems that the ac- od ICE commodation then afforded was only a temporary one, and that a much more perfect accommodation was intended.Thi has now been effected, and yesterday we Presses had the pleasure of being shown an arrangement that could not be better.À handsome pes, Mucib® walaut stained table, with leather top, able which ¥e# to accommodate some half dezen comfortably, has now been provided for the members of the press.The seat, an extended AL and Bill one attached to the wall in such a way as to be let down when not in use sth poo is made of beautiful white ash, pierced al with p with designs.The table is now \"fitting contrast to the other gorgeous surround- YN ings of the room, and we are sure that the ° members of the press will now be amply street accommodated.It is only to be hoped that 294 this accommodation will be extended to the other Committee rooms.The credit of ANT the change in the rcom is principally due iP n to Ald.Grenier, the Chairman of the Comthe FEBT mittee, whose efforts in this direction we are sure all will endorse.+ A meeting of the Committee was called for yesterday afternoon, at three «clock, 10] ins but as only the Mayor, Ald.Grenier and Ald.Prevost were present, the meeting had tte be adjourned at half-past three for want ofa quorum.> aont nts.\u201cFEMALE COMPLAINTS.\u201d ID

solemn duty.The time had now come when the jury were to become factors in the trial.Whatever disorder or levity might have characterized the trial, there was but one sentiment in respect of the conduct of the jury.All commended their dignified deportment and close attention to the evidence, and he could not doubt that they would continue to deserve commendation.As Davidge traced the process of reasoning by which the prisoner gradually reached the convic tion that ** but ene little life interposed between himself and possibly great benefits,\u201d Guiteau became restless and nervously twisted about.Not often, said Davidge, in the record of heinous crime,do we have such plain pointed evidence as to the first conception of the crime.Guiteau said \u20140 a * Bank of Montreal.$280 |4

is not correct when eligible openings are presented.Quietly thousands were bid and scores of lots knocked down.A peculiar feature of the sales is the entire absence of special pleading to secure purchasers.A plain statement of facts being presented, questions solicited, and the reasons calmly stated why capital could anticipate largo and immediate returns.The advertised statement of « No

received instructions from Messrs.VAUGHAN, DENNIS & CO, Winnipeg, Sole Agents for the Proprieters, to SELL, on Thursday and Friday, January 12 & 13.100 LOTS \u2014 IN THE \u2014 Town of Pomeroy, 20: Pomeroy is situated on Tobacco Creek, midway between Winnipeg and Rock Lake, at the point where the South-Western Colonization Railway crosses that Creek, in Tp.4, R.5 West.Tha country immediately surrounding this busy little town is unsurpassed in all our great North-West for agricultural purposes.This year the farms in Tps.4 and 5, Ranges 4 and 5 West, will subscribe to the grain market in Pomeroy over QUARTER OF A MILLION BUSHELS OF GRAIN.Many farms in these Townships have yielded as high an average as 34 bushels of wheat to the acre.The best indication of the value of land in these Townships is the fact that lands that one year ago could have been bought for $2 or $3 per acre are row being disposed of at from $12 to, $18 per acre.A number of farms can be counted within a radius of three miles of this point that next year will have 300 acres under crop.The tewn has already two grain buyers and storehouses, two good general stores, a large hotel, two small general stores, two move grain warehouses in course of construction ; one large grist mill, three run of stones, being constructed by a wealthy Company.A number of private residences and several other buildings in course of construction.The town being situated in the middle of the County of North Dufferin, it has been chosen as the County Town of the same; and the Registry Office, which is at present at Miami, is to b» moved to Pomeroy as soon as the building, which is now in course of construction, is finished.The town is high and dry and beautifully situated on the south bank of the Tobacco Creek, which will at all seasons of the year afford to the residents in the town a bountiful supply of clear, fresh water.The banks of this creck are well wooded with poplar and oak, affording an excellent shelter from the cold north winds.The Pembina Mountains strike away to the south at a distance of from twelve te fiftesn miles.The railway will be in running order early in the spring and, with the County seat and the Registry Office, Pomeroy is sure to be one of the largest and busiest towns in all Manitoba next summer.A branch of the Manitoba Central Railroad is also contemplated to run from Morris to the western boundary of the Province, and if constructed will run through this town.making it a railway centre.TITLE PERFECT.TERMS LIBERAL.NO RESERVE, 100 Town Lots in Morris.To those who contemplate investing their money in some of these lots a brief description of the town of Morris may be interesting.The original town site was surveyed out in 1877 ; at that time the only buildings here were a few small houses.Since then it has steadily grown, till now it claims to be the fourth largest town in the Province.Morris is situated on the west bank of Red River, midway between the international boundary lire and the city of Winnipeg.Its location is high, and is surrounded by picturesque scenery.The town is thoroughly drained by the Red and Morris (or Scratching) Rivers, both of which run through and alongside of the town site.¢@ the immediate viciaity of the town is plenty of sand, limestone, and first-class clay for brick making.At the present time the following businesses and industries are represented here :-\u2014\u2014A ¥our and grist mill, with four run of stones; a large saw mill, capable of turning out 2,000 feet of oak lumber per day; four general stores, a wholesale liquor store, a boo: and shoe shop, a merchant tailsr, a weekly newspaper and job printing office, two physicians, a harness shop, a tin and hardware store, stationery and fancy goods stove, two blacksmith and carriage shops, two lumber yards, four builders and contractors, furniture store, livery stables, four grain buyers (each having a large storehouse), a bakery, three loan, insurance, and land agencies, a painter, and dress-making establishment.For the accommodation of the travelling public, the town supplies three first-class hotels.In addition to these there are four churches, each with a resident minister; one of the largest public schools in Manitoba, besides a number of private residences.It has also a post-office with a tri-weekly mail.The buildings here are all substantially built, a number of them being of solid brick walls.During the past year new buildings were erected, and improvements made to old ones, to the amount of over $75,000.Morris is so favourably located that the Goverzment has chosen it as the county seat of Morris County, and has selected it for the office of the County Court.Next year a Registry Office will be established here.The country surrounding Morris is thickly settled by iudustrious and thrifty farmers.The land i: the best, and not surpassed by any other part of the world, for the growing of grain, roots, etc.COMMUNICA TIN.At the present time this town is without railway communication, but we have every confidence that within the next year a line running through this town-\u2014a Manitoba Central\u2014will be under contract and the work of construction commenced, which line will give us communication with the north, wast, and south, and inall probability to the east, connecting with the South-Western, Northern Pacific, and Canada Pacific Railways.The Pembina Mountain branch of the C.P.R.passes to the west ot Morris about fivemiles.During the navigation season boats stop here on their way from Winnipeg to West Lynne, also on the return trip.\u2018Lhe preseut winter a boat is to be built by a Morris firm, and will be put on Red River next season.PRICE OF LOTS.Notwithstanding that we have, as yet, no railway facilities, influential capitalists fecl so ccnfident of the future of Morris that they have inverted considerable of their money in real estate inthe town.The price of town lots has rapidly advance.Twoyears ago desic- ab'e business site lots could be purchased at from $69 to $100, but to-day they sell readily at from $400 to $600 each.Other lots have risen in proporticn, and those that could have been purchased at from $18 to $25 two yearsago, are now held at $50 to $100.Next year, we venture to predict, and feel confident that our hopes will be realized, property in Morris will advance 100 per cent.above present value.¢ If any doubting John is suspicious as te the correctness of our statement in regard to the value of property here, they are at liberty to refer to any Jf the following gentlemen, residents of Winnipeg, who will give au uninterested opinion ;\u2014Col.W.N.Kennedy, Registrar of Selkirk ; 5.Mulvey, Collector Inland Revenue; Capt.D.H.McMillan, M.P.L.; Capt.H, 8.Donaldson, of Donaldson Bros.; R.Adamson, of Gordon, Adamson & Co., Bankers ; C.S.Rankin, Barrister ; F.H.Scobell, Real Eutate Agent.TITLE PERFECT.TERMS LIBERAL, NO RESERVE.100 Lots in Clearwater.For the benefit of strangers and those who are not familiar with this town, as a point for investment, I might say that the town gets its name from that beautiful stream which winds its way through a portion of the town, and which, from the exquisite clearness and purity of the water, has justly teen named \u201cClearwater.\u201d This stream varies in width, and is from 20 to 100 feet wide, and from two to 10 feet deep, affording a water power such as is not te be found elsewhere in this portion of Manitoba.This, in itself, ouzht to be an inducement to men to put their money into the property.as its future as a manufacturing centre is assured.Then, again, good fuel and excellent building timber is te be found in large quantities in the immediate neighbourhood, and right justly hus that portion of Manitoba, wherein Clearwater forms the centre, been entitled by men who know the Province well, The Garden of it All?The town is sifhated just two and a half miles south of that charming and picturesque sheet of water known as lock Lake.Who has not heard of the Lakeas a perfect elvsium for sportsmen?Game of all sorts abound.The town of Clearwater is a sub-division of sec.21 Tp.2, Range 12 West, and is situate 140 miles south-west from Winnipeg.B :th the railways-\u2014the Canadian Pacific and the Manitnba South-Western\u2014run their liues into this town, and the fact that Clearwater, in the near future, will have two railways running through it to Winnipeg in the East and to the Souris Coal Fields on the West, immediately marks it as the most important point in all that southern portion of the Province.At the present time an immense amount of business is centered at this point, and Clearwater already boasts of, besides general stores, a church, school-house, two blacksmith shops; an excellent grist mill, with three runs of stones; two hotels, two agricultural warehouses, and a tinsmith shop, &c.\u2018The old \u201c Commission Trail\u201d passes through the middle of the town, and all the travel to the West is on this trail.There are two good sawmills within five miles of Clearwater, where good?building material may be obtained cheap.I can honestly say that no such opportunity has heretofore been offered to the citizens of Montreal for a remunerative investment, and do not hesitate to predict that those who invest will obtain from one to three per cent.advauce on their purchase this coming spring.Title Perfect!

have you any objection to give me for publication in the Press some information in regard to the suit ?Answer\u2014I have certainly no objection to give you any information that I may properly impart to you in regard to this matter.Q.\u2014 What can you tell me about the Mutual Union Company and its promoters ?A.\u2014My acquaintance with the Mutual Union Telegraph dates back to an early period in its history.My attention was first called to the Company in 1880, when it was organized.The gentleman who first or- grnized the Company contemplated only a small corporation ; and the object was to construct private lines to be used by bankers, boards of trade, st ck operators and other persons who made large use of telegraph facilities, Wires were intended to be leased at so much per anuum ; and I do not understand that it was contemplated that the Company should seek ordinary telegraph business.I had the opportunity to lease one of the wires for the business I was then managing in Providence.Q.\u2014Can you tell me who were the gentlemen interested in the early promotion of the Company ?A.\u2014I do not know accurately who they all were.I undegstand that John O.Evans, of Washington, J.G.Moore, of New York, Mr.Geo.F.Baker, President of the first National Bank of New York, and Geo.William Ballou, who was represented by Geo J.M.Corse, now President of the Toledo, Delphos and Burlington Railway, and one or two others, perhaps, were all that were interested in it.This Company was organized under the laws of the State of New York, in October, 1880, with a capital stock of $600, 000, and by its charter limited its increase of capital to only double that amount, say $1,200,000.Its first move was the construction of a line of four or six wires, extending from Boston, through Providence, Hartford and New York south to Washington.Arrangements were made to lease these wires to individuls or firms.It was not until the spring of 1881 that the idea entered into the minds of the projectors to expand this Company into a general Telegraph Company.1 understand that .ome of the parties in interest were adverse to this scheme and wanted to keep things as they were.I also understand that the objections of these gentlemen were overcome by an agreement entered into between those whe were willing to go on and those who were not, to purchase the interests of those who were unwilling to proceed, and in that purchase to inelude also their own interests, leaving those who saw fit to go on free to de so.Q.\u2014What, do you understand, were the terms of this purchase ?A.\u2014My first understanding was that all of the owners of the stock of $608,000 at the organization were to receive half a million of stock and half a million of first mortgage bonds out of the $10,000,000 of stock, and $5,000,000 o fbonds of a new Come pany of the same name that would be formed by the expansion of the $600,000 organization to these large dimensions.Q.\u2014Do you know in what manper this was carried out ?: A.\u2014I understand that one of the gentlemen, Mr.George W.Ballou, took from the Company an option good for thirty days to buy the entire corporation on the terms named, and as soon as he received that option he issued a circular, which he called « cireular number one,\u201d stating that he was prepared to offer for sale to the public five millions of first mortgage bonds of a Telegraph Company, and that each purchaser of ten thousand dollars of these first mortgage bonds at par was to receive in addition thereto an equal amount of stock of the Company, the bonds to be paid for in month ly instalmentd, I understand tbat ina very short space of time George W.Ballou, & Co.received subscriptions in excess of the amount advertised for sale.On receipt of these subscriptions the option to purchase the Company was closed, and the work of extending the operations of the company into general telegraph business was Commenced.Q.\u2014About what,time did this occur ?A.\u2014About the first of May, 1881.Q.\u2014Was the capital stock of the Company at once increased to 10 millions ?A.\u2014I believe not, for I see by the records of the State Department at Albany that the organization of the\u2019 present Company did not take place until the 15th day of September, 1881.The certificate of incorporation showed that the following persons were the four Directors applying tor the extension of the capital stock : Geo.W.Ballou, John ©.Evans, C.F.Peck, and George H.Holt.Q.\u2014Do you know to what extent the Company has pursued this work ?A.\u2014I understand that the Company entered into a contract with J.G.Moore & Co, with the terms of which I am not familiar.Q.\u2014Was not a copy of it published in the New York papers ?A\u2014There was a copy of a contract published in the New York World, which professed to be a contract between the Mutual Union Co.and John G.Moore & Co.providing for the construction of 13,000 miles of telegraph line by J.G.Moore & Co, for which the contractors were to receive the entire issues of the Union Mutual Company, viz.: 9 millions of stock and 4} millions of bonds, but I do not know whether the contract published was genuine or not.At any rate, its correctness has never been denied so far as I have been able to learn; certaintly there has been no denial of that kind printed.By the terms of this contract it would seem that John G.Moore & Cowere to reap all the benefits in the way of profits accruing under the contract.My understanding of the contract is that J.G.Moore & Co.are to furnish 13,000 miles of telegraph line for the whole issues of the Company, and whatever profit they will get under this contract will be in the stock and bonds of the Company remaining in their hands after fulfilling their part of it.# Q\u2014When did you become a purchaser of stock in this Company?It is understood from newspaper reports that you are uot one of the original stockholders, but have since bought your stock ?A.\u2014My stock was bought about the first of last November ; it was boughtin the open market frem brokers.I have long been of the opinion that a Telegraph Company with 10,000 to 15,000 miles of wire connecting only the principal cities of the country and J avoiding small, outiving places difficult of access, which have little business, and are expensive to maintain, if honestly built and properly managed, could not fail to bea very profitable enterprise.By « honestly built I mean a line on which every dollar of the capital subscribed and bonds issued should bz honestly spent in constructiug the lines and equipping the offices, and that there should be no chance of excessive pre- fits to the contractors.This is what I mean by an honest line; in other words, that the Telegraph Company itself, and not the contractors, should have the full benefit of all the morey for which it bas put out issues.It was commonly believed in Providence when this line was \u2018first proposed, and for some time afterwards, that we were at last to have an honestly constructed Telegraph Company, and that, such being the case, it could not fail to be a good investment.I purchased this stock beliey- ing that, if the Company could be compelled honestly to apply all of the proceeds of i s issues to the construction of \u2018the lines, I would have a very good investment.Soon afier the purchase of my stock I learned that, in addition to the $300,000 of bonds and $500,000 of stock which wére given to the original promoters of the Boston and Washington line, they received back asa sort of 4 bunus,\u201d I suppose, the entire cost of construction.Q.\u2014Do you meaï to say that they re- celved $1,000,000 of stock and bonds in addition to its cost ?A.\u2014Yes; such is my information and belief ; that they not only received one million of bonds and stock, but that thay also received $265,000, with interest at six per cent., which latter-named sum represented the actual cost of constructing the Boston and Washington line.Q.\u2014Ou what ground did the owners of this line justify their action in selling the Boston and Washington line at such an advance over the first cost ?AI cannot answer that quite fully ; | believe it is claimed that they had acquired some valuable franchises, such as the right of entry into Washington through the sewers; the right of entry into New York through a contract they made with the fire department for the maintenance of the fire alarm, and also the right of entry into Providence and Hartford free of expense.I understand that these were claimed to be valuable privileges, 80 valuable as to justify this transaction.But I do not know how much truth there is in this.At all events, the million of stock and bonds were delivered to the original holders, and this stock which has been for sale and the stock which I hold is a portion of this half mil.lien.Q.\u2014To whom was your stock issued ?A.\u2014I cannot tell you; my stock, when bought, stood in the name of J.G.Moore & Co., and bore date June, 1881.Q.\u2014Do you consider such stock valid and legal ?A.\u2014I should think it wasin the hands of third parties, innocent purchasers for a good consideration ;at least I am so advised by counsel learned in the law.Q~\u2014It is claimed in newspaper reports that you do not own any of the original issue of stock of this corporation ; what explanation have you in regard to thai?A.\u2014I claim that I own stock in the $600,000 organization, as my certificates bear date June, 1881, end the present ten million dollar Company was not authorized by law to issue stock until September 15, 1881.My certificates bear on their face the statement that the capital stock was 1¢ raillions, but they seem te have been issued before the ten million dollar Company was authorized to issue stock.If my stock is not original stock I do not know what it is ?Q.\u2014 What is the precise nature of your action ?A.\u2014My bill of complaint sets forth that I am the owner of stock issued in payment for the Boston and Washington line; also that a contract has been entered inte tor the construction of additional lines in consideration of stock and bonds to a large amount, the details of which I am ignorant of.My bill asks that a copy of that contract be filed in Court that 1 may know its conditions ; it also asks that the Company be restrained and perpetually enjoined from issuing and delivering to Jehn G.Moore & Co., the contractors, or to any other person, its stocks or bonds without receiving the full market value of the bonds, ard the par value of the stock, in money, labour, property or material at the current fair market prices of these commodities.In effect, it asks that the Mutual Union Telegraph Company shall receive fur its issues in the carrying out of this contract their just value; that the contracters and the Company shall not be allowed to determine the values, but that they shall be passed upon by the Courts upon proper proof being furnished.It is sought by this means to obtain for the Company in telegraphic property, full par value for its stock, and the full market value for its bonds.If this is accomplished, I have no question as to the future market value of my stock; but, on the contrary, if some check or restraint be not imposed upon the execution of this com- tract, I do uot know what value my stock may have, if any.Q.\u2014Have you any reason to believe that it is intended the Telegraph Company shall receive less than par value for its stock, and the full market value for its bonds ?A\u2014 Yes; one indication is, that they have cffered to give away $4,500,000 of the stock to the subscribers to the bonds.I also learn by inquiry that the late Presithe Secretary, Mr.C.F.Peck ; and the contractors, J.G.Moore & Co.(firm composed of John G.Moore and T.C.Purdy), have been intimately associated in the past in money-making contracts and schemes.I leary that John O.Evans was a manipulator and controller of contracts in the District of Columbia during the regime of Boss Shepherd.I also learn that he was interested in the National Dredging Company, located at Wilmington, Delaware, and elsewhere, of which Mr.Purdy is President, and which is engaged in Government contracting.I also learn that Mr.G.W.Ballou, the financial genius of the Company, through his banking firm, bas been instrumental in placing upon the market what some people call \u201ctwo and three-story securities.\u201d Q.\u2014To what do you refer?A.\u2014I mean the San Pedro and Canon del Agua Mining Company, and the Toledo, Burlington and Delphos Narrow Gauge Railway.Q.\u2014 What do you mean by \u201c three-story\u201d companies ?A.\u2014I mean corporations organized by bankers, railroad promoters, and others interested in making money rapidly, that have three issues, such as first mortgage bonds ; second mortgage or income bonds; and common stock.The plan of such organizations is to sell one of these issues, usually the first mortgage bonds, for anything from 70 cents on the dollar to 95 cents, and to give away the second and third issues either as inducements to purchasers of the first, or else to keep these securities as their own profit for promoting these schemes.I call these three-story\u201d enterprises.Q.\u2014You seem to Lave a poor opinion of such schemes ?A.\u2014I must configs that I have, as I do not think that eitl er railroad or t:legraph enterprises are sufficiently profitable to pay any fair return on three or four times their real cost.Of pourse you can readily see that in the case of such corporations all the money the Company receives is the proceeds of the sale of its first mortgage bonds, and those are generally disposed of far below par.dent of the Company, Mr.John O.Evans ; |- Q.\u2014What is the particular objection to such enterprise ?A.\u2014They are more or less trandulent and delude many honest people into the belief that these issues have value, whereas there is no value attachable to them beyond the amount paid into the Company.The tendency of all such schemes is to inflition, to the disaster of the country, and especially to innocent holders.I should say in regard to this action that I have brought that it Las begun on behalf of myself and all other stockholders of the Company who are similarly situated, and they all have te right to join and share in the benefits by contributing towards the expense.Q.\u2014It seems from your remarks that your object in bringing this suit is to see that the Company gets full value for its issue.Is that the sole aim of your suit?It has been said in seme newspaper articles that you have brought this suit at the request of Mr, Erastus Wiman, a Director in the Western Union Telegraph Company, and also une of the firm cf R.G.Dun & Co.A.\u2014That is not so.The action is brought for the purpose previously stated ; Mr.Wiman never requested me to bring such a suit.The idea of the suit occurred to my mind on learning the fact that the promoters of the little Company had received $1,000,- 000 of profit in the issues of the expanded Company fr the Boston and Washington line, and I am advised by counsel that the Courts in New York will not permit a corporation organized under its laws to issue its stock without receiving full par value for it in cash, labour, or services, at the current fair market value of the same.Some months ago I had noticed an opinion by the Attorney-General of the State ot New York which showed that, s0 far as he was concerned, he was determined that this practice should be no longer permitted.An extract from his remarks is as follows : \u2014 \u201cThe issue of stock in violation of the honest obligation which corporation trustees owe to the public, and to the genuine stockholders who have paid their money in good faith, has become a fruitful source of robbery in tbis country, which cannot be too strongly condemned.I shall feel it my duty whenever an opportunity arises to take proceedings against any corporation, or individual, who claims to be incorporated, engaged in apy such transaction.\u201d : I felt that if this Company were allowed to go or without the restraining influences of the Courts, something might be done that would cheapen and reduce the value of the $9,500,000 of stock yet to be issued in a cheaper degree that was done in the issue of the first half million of stock and half million of bonds.Whenever the Company receives a hundred cents on the dollar, either in money or property, for all its issues of stock and bonds, the object of this suit is accomplished.Q.\u2014Do I understand you to say that Fou have terminated your connection with the mercantile agency ef R.G.Dun & Co.A.\u2014I made up my mind some time ago to resign the position of manager of their Providence office and engage actively in the manufacture of rolled plated chains, iu which I had been interested as a silent partner for the last year and a half.I terminated my relations with the agency previous to the commencement of the suit.1 do not understand that any person in the mercantile agency, except Mr.Wiman, has any active interest in telegraph business, and bis connection is more particularly in Canada, Le beiag President of the Great North-Western Telegraph Company, the Corporation wich operates all the Canadian lines.Mr.Wiman, it is well known, has been interested in telegraph matters in Canada, for twenty vears or mure.Q.\u2014 Who are the counsel in the case ?A.\u2014My solicitors are Messrs.Chamberlain, Carter and Hornblower, of 346 Broadway, New York.The consulting counsel are ex-Governor D.H.Chamberlain, Julien T.Davies, and James McNamee.\u2014 Providence Evening Pressa EPP8'8 COCOA.\u2014{(@RATEFUL AND UOMFORTING.\u2014 By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of diges tion and nutrition, and by a careful application ot the fine properties of well-sclected Cocos, Mr.Epps kas provided our breakfast table with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 bills.It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease, Hundreds of subtle maladies sve floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point.We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame.\u201d Civil Service Qazette.\u2014Made simply with boiling water or milk.Seld only in Packets and Tins (3 1b.and 1 1b.) label- led\u2014«\u201cJaues Epps & Co, Homeopathic Chemists, London, Eng.\u201d\u2014Also makers of Epps's (Vhocolate Essence for afternoon use Houses fox Sale ov to Zet Advertisements under this head inserted a ollowing rates:\u201420 words, 1 insertion, 250 8 insertions, 60e;

Company.Messrs.Houston & Fester lose $5,000 by water.Their stock is insured rin the Lancashire, North British, London, PRISING: Liverpool & Globe, Queens, Quebec & City Companies for $28,000.The firm Giles & lespie, Ansley & Martin only commenced .J ! business on the 1st of December last.Mrelties in Mead left fsr England to-day to make spring purchases.The fire originated in the third story among the straw goods, its origin is ; àb present a mystery, the only fire on that flat was in a stove dis¥at from the place } where the fire was first discovered about 8 feet.It was only through the great exertions on the part of the firemen that the fire was prevented spreading to the ad- Joining buildings.Great excitement prevailed and the streets in the vicinity were crowded with spectators.The building is owned by Mr.J.Carlow and is insured in the Royal for $20,000 ; damage $6,000.LERY, is, &.3, &C rhere./ = FINANCE COMMITTEE: rm rm ALDERMANIC COURTESY.t Our readers will perhaps remember that several days ago we commented, in connec- dion with a report of the Finance Committee, on the complete renovation that had ' taken place in the room where the Committee usually meets, in which everything ter BOB was perfect but the accommodation provided for the press.We must acknowledge that nks, inthe latter respect we were somewhat hasty, as we did not credit the officials with the good intention which they say they LAR possessed, for it now seems that the ac- od ICE commodation then afforded was only a temporary one, and that a much more perfect accommodation was intended.Thi has now been effected, and yesterday we Presses had the pleasure of being shown an arrangement that could not be better.À handsome pes, Mucib® walaut stained table, with leather top, able which ¥e# to accommodate some half dezen comfortably, has now been provided for the members of the press.The seat, an extended AL and Bill one attached to the wall in such a way as to be let down when not in use sth poo is made of beautiful white ash, pierced al with p with designs.The table is now \"fitting contrast to the other gorgeous surround- YN ings of the room, and we are sure that the ° members of the press will now be amply street accommodated.It is only to be hoped that 294 this accommodation will be extended to the other Committee rooms.The credit of ANT the change in the rcom is principally due iP n to Ald.Grenier, the Chairman of the Comthe FEBT mittee, whose efforts in this direction we are sure all will endorse.+ A meeting of the Committee was called for yesterday afternoon, at three

solemn duty.The time had now come when the jury were to become factors in the trial.Whatever disorder or levity might have characterized the trial, there was but one sentiment in respect of the conduct of the jury.All commended their dignified deportment and close attention to the evidence, and he could not doubt that they would continue to deserve commendation.As Davidge traced the process of reasoning by which the prisoner gradually reached the convic tion that ** but ene little life interposed between himself and possibly great benefits,\u201d Guiteau became restless and nervously

is not correct when eligible openings are presented.Quietly thousands were bid and scores of lots knocked down.A peculiar feature of the sales is the entire absence of special pleading to secure purchasers.A plain statement of facts being presented, questions solicited, and the reasons calmly stated why capital could anticipate largo and immediate returns.The advertised statement of « No

received instructions from Messrs.VAUGHAN, DENNIS & CO, Winnipeg, Sole Agents for the Proprieters, to SELL, on Thursday and Friday, January 12 & 13.100 LOTS \u2014 IN THE \u2014 Town of Pomeroy, 20: Pomeroy is situated on Tobacco Creek, midway between Winnipeg and Rock Lake, at the point where the South-Western Colonization Railway crosses that Creek, in Tp.4, R.5 West.Tha country immediately surrounding this busy little town is unsurpassed in all our great North-West for agricultural purposes.This year the farms in Tps.4 and 5, Ranges 4 and 5 West, will subscribe to the grain market in Pomeroy over QUARTER OF A MILLION BUSHELS OF GRAIN.Many farms in these Townships have yielded as high an average as 34 bushels of wheat to the acre.The best indication of the value of land in these Townships is the fact that lands that one year ago could have been bought for $2 or $3 per acre are row being disposed of at from $12 to, $18 per acre.A number of farms can be counted within a radius of three miles of this point that next year will have 300 acres under crop.The tewn has already two grain buyers and storehouses, two good general stores, a large hotel, two small general stores, two move grain warehouses in course of construction ; one large grist mill, three run of stones, being constructed by a wealthy Company.A number of private residences and several other buildings in course of construction.The town being situated in the middle of the County of North Dufferin, it has been chosen as the County Town of the same; and the Registry Office, which is at present at Miami, is to b» moved to Pomeroy as soon as the building, which is now in course of construction, is finished.The town is high and dry and beautifully situated on the south bank of the Tobacco Creek, which will at all seasons of the year afford to the residents in the town a bountiful supply of clear, fresh water.The banks of this creck are well wooded with poplar and oak, affording an excellent shelter from the cold north winds.The Pembina Mountains strike away to the south at a distance of from twelve te fiftesn miles.The railway will be in running order early in the spring and, with the County seat and the Registry Office, Pomeroy is sure to be one of the largest and busiest towns in all Manitoba next summer.A branch of the Manitoba Central Railroad is also contemplated to run from Morris to the western boundary of the Province, and if constructed will run through this town.making it a railway centre.TITLE PERFECT.TERMS LIBERAL.NO RESERVE, 100 Town Lots in Morris.To those who contemplate investing their money in some of these lots a brief description of the town of Morris may be interesting.The original town site was surveyed out in 1877 ; at that time the only buildings here were a few small houses.Since then it has steadily grown, till now it claims to be the fourth largest town in the Province.Morris is situated on the west bank of Red River, midway between the international boundary lire and the city of Winnipeg.Its location is high, and is surrounded by picturesque scenery.The town is thoroughly drained by the Red and Morris (or Scratching) Rivers, both of which run through and alongside of the town site.¢@ the immediate viciaity of the town is plenty of sand, limestone, and first-class clay for brick making.At the present time the following businesses and industries are represented here :-\u2014\u2014A ¥our and grist mill, with four run of stones; a large saw mill, capable of turning out 2,000 feet of oak lumber per day; four general stores, a wholesale liquor store, a boo: and shoe shop, a merchant tailsr, a weekly newspaper and job printing office, two physicians, a harness shop, a tin and hardware store, stationery and fancy goods stove, two blacksmith and carriage shops, two lumber yards, four builders and contractors, furniture store, livery stables, four grain buyers (each having a large storehouse), a bakery, three loan, insurance, and land agencies, a painter, and dress-making establishment.For the accommodation of the travelling public, the town supplies three first-class hotels.In addition to these there are four churches, each with a resident minister; one of the largest public schools in Manitoba, besides a number of private residences.It has also a post-office with a tri-weekly mail.The buildings here are all substantially built, a number of them being of solid brick walls.During the past year new buildings were erected, and improvements made to old ones, to the amount of over $75,000.Morris is so favourably located that the Goverzment has chosen it as the county seat of Morris County, and has selected it for the office of the County Court.Next year a Registry Office will be established here.The country surrounding Morris is thickly settled by iudustrious and thrifty farmers.The land i: the best, and not surpassed by any other part of the world, for the growing of grain, roots, etc.COMMUNICA TIN.At the present time this town is without railway communication, but we have every confidence that within the next year a line running through this town-\u2014a Manitoba Central\u2014will be under contract and the work of construction commenced, which line will give us communication with the north, wast, and south, and inall probability to the east, connecting with the South-Western, Northern Pacific, and Canada Pacific Railways.The Pembina Mountain branch of the C.P.R.passes to the west ot Morris about fivemiles.During the navigation season boats stop here on their way from Winnipeg to West Lynne, also on the return trip.\u2018Lhe preseut winter a boat is to be built by a Morris firm, and will be put on Red River next season.PRICE OF LOTS.Notwithstanding that we have, as yet, no railway facilities, influential capitalists fecl so ccnfident of the future of Morris that they have inverted considerable of their money in real estate inthe town.The price of town lots has rapidly advance.Twoyears ago desic- ab'e business site lots could be purchased at from $69 to $100, but to-day they sell readily at from $400 to $600 each.Other lots have risen in proporticn, and those that could have been purchased at from $18 to $25 two yearsago, are now held at $50 to $100.Next year, we venture to predict, and feel confident that our hopes will be realized, property in Morris will advance 100 per cent.above present value.¢ If any doubting John is suspicious as te the correctness of our statement in regard to the value of property here, they are at liberty to refer to any Jf the following gentlemen, residents of Winnipeg, who will give au uninterested opinion ;\u2014Col.W.N.Kennedy, Registrar of Selkirk ; 5.Mulvey, Collector Inland Revenue; Capt.D.H.McMillan, M.P.L.; Capt.H, 8.Donaldson, of Donaldson Bros.; R.Adamson, of Gordon, Adamson & Co., Bankers ; C.S.Rankin, Barrister ; F.H.Scobell, Real Eutate Agent.TITLE PERFECT.TERMS LIBERAL, NO RESERVE.100 Lots in Clearwater.For the benefit of strangers and those who are not familiar with this town, as a point for investment, I might say that the town gets its name from that beautiful stream which winds its way through a portion of the town, and which, from the exquisite clearness and purity of the water, has justly teen named \u201cClearwater.\u201d This stream varies in width, and is from 20 to 100 feet wide, and from two to 10 feet deep, affording a water power such as is not te be found elsewhere in this portion of Manitoba.This, in itself, ouzht to be an inducement to men to put their money into the property.as its future as a manufacturing centre is assured.Then, again, good fuel and excellent building timber is te be found in large quantities in the immediate neighbourhood, and right justly hus that portion of Manitoba, wherein Clearwater forms the centre, been entitled by men who know the Province well, The Garden of it All?The town is sifhated just two and a half miles south of that charming and picturesque sheet of water known as lock Lake.Who has not heard of the Lakeas a perfect elvsium for sportsmen?Game of all sorts abound.The town of Clearwater is a sub-division of sec.21 Tp.2, Range 12 West, and is situate 140 miles south-west from Winnipeg.B :th the railways-\u2014the Canadian Pacific and the Manitnba South-Western\u2014run their liues into this town, and the fact that Clearwater, in the near future, will have two railways running through it to Winnipeg in the East and to the Souris Coal Fields on the West, immediately marks it as the most important point in all that southern portion of the Province.At the present time an immense amount of business is centered at this point, and Clearwater already boasts of, besides general stores, a church, school-house, two blacksmith shops; an excellent grist mill, with three runs of stones; two hotels, two agricultural warehouses, and a tinsmith shop, &c.\u2018The old \u201c Commission Trail\u201d passes through the middle of the town, and all the travel to the West is on this trail.There are two good sawmills within five miles of Clearwater, where good?building material may be obtained cheap.I can honestly say that no such opportunity has heretofore been offered to the citizens of Montreal for a remunerative investment, and do not hesitate to predict that those who invest will obtain from one to three per cent.advauce on their purchase this coming spring.Title Perfect!

have you any objection to give me for publication in the Press some information in regard to the suit ?Answer\u2014I have certainly no objection to give you any information that I may properly impart to you in regard to this matter.Q.\u2014 What can you tell me about the Mutual Union Company and its promoters ?A.\u2014My acquaintance with the Mutual Union Telegraph dates back to an early period in its history.My attention was first called to the Company in 1880, when it was organized.The gentleman who first or- grnized the Company contemplated only a small corporation ; and the object was to construct private lines to be used by bankers, boards of trade, st ck operators and other persons who made large use of telegraph facilities, Wires were intended to be leased at so much per anuum ; and I do not understand that it was contemplated that the Company should seek ordinary telegraph business.I had the opportunity to lease one of the wires for the business I was then managing in Providence.Q.\u2014Can you tell me who were the gentlemen interested in the early promotion of the Company ?A.\u2014I do not know accurately who they all were.I undegstand that John O.Evans, of Washington, J.G.Moore, of New York, Mr.Geo.F.Baker, President of the first National Bank of New York, and Geo.William Ballou, who was represented by Geo J.M.Corse, now President of the Toledo, Delphos and Burlington Railway, and one or two others, perhaps, were all that were interested in it.This Company was organized under the laws of the State of New York, in October, 1880, with a capital stock of $600, 000, and by its charter limited its increase of capital to only double that amount, say $1,200,000.Its first move was the construction of a line of four or six wires, extending from Boston, through Providence, Hartford and New York south to Washington.Arrangements were made to lease these wires to individuls or firms.It was not until the spring of 1881 that the idea entered into the minds of the projectors to expand this Company into a general Telegraph Company.1 understand that .ome of the parties in interest were adverse to this scheme and wanted to keep things as they were.I also understand that the objections of these gentlemen were overcome by an agreement entered into between those whe were willing to go on and those who were not, to purchase the interests of those who were unwilling to proceed, and in that purchase to inelude also their own interests, leaving those who saw fit to go on free to de so.Q.\u2014What, do you understand, were the terms of this purchase ?A.\u2014My first understanding was that all of the owners of the stock of $608,000 at the organization were to receive half a million of stock and half a million of first mortgage bonds out of the $10,000,000 of stock, and $5,000,000 o fbonds of a new Come pany of the same name that would be formed by the expansion of the $600,000 organization to these large dimensions.Q.\u2014Do you know in what manper this was carried out ?: A.\u2014I understand that one of the gentlemen, Mr.George W.Ballou, took from the Company an option good for thirty days to buy the entire corporation on the terms named, and as soon as he received that option he issued a circular, which he called « cireular number one,\u201d stating that he was prepared to offer for sale to the public five millions of first mortgage bonds of a Telegraph Company, and that each purchaser of ten thousand dollars of these first mortgage bonds at par was to receive in addition thereto an equal amount of stock of the Company, the bonds to be paid for in month ly instalmentd, I understand tbat ina very short space of time George W.Ballou, & Co.received subscriptions in excess of the amount advertised for sale.On receipt of these subscriptions the option to purchase the Company was closed, and the work of extending the operations of the company into general telegraph business was Commenced.Q.\u2014About what,time did this occur ?A.\u2014About the first of May, 1881.Q.\u2014Was the capital stock of the Company at once increased to 10 millions ?A.\u2014I believe not, for I see by the records of the State Department at Albany that the organization of the\u2019 present Company did not take place until the 15th day of September, 1881.The certificate of incorporation showed that the following persons were the four Directors applying tor the extension of the capital stock : Geo.W.Ballou, John ©.Evans, C.F.Peck, and George H.Holt.Q.\u2014Do you know to what extent the Company has pursued this work ?A.\u2014I understand that the Company entered into a contract with J.G.Moore & Co, with the terms of which I am not familiar.Q.\u2014Was not a copy of it published in the New York papers ?A\u2014There was a copy of a contract published in the New York World, which professed to be a contract between the Mutual Union Co.and John G.Moore & Co.providing for the construction of 13,000 miles of telegraph line by J.G.Moore & Co, for which the contractors were to receive the entire issues of the Union Mutual Company, viz.: 9 millions of stock and 4} millions of bonds, but I do not know whether the contract published was genuine or not.At any rate, its correctness has never been denied so far as I have been able to learn; certaintly there has been no denial of that kind printed.By the terms of this contract it would seem that John G.Moore & Cowere to reap all the benefits in the way of profits accruing under the contract.My understanding of the contract is that J.G.Moore & Co.are to furnish 13,000 miles of telegraph line for the whole issues of the Company, and whatever profit they will get under this contract will be in the stock and bonds of the Company remaining in their hands after fulfilling their part of it.# Q\u2014When did you become a purchaser of stock in this Company?It is understood from newspaper reports that you are uot one of the original stockholders, but have since bought your stock ?A.\u2014My stock was bought about the first of last November ; it was boughtin the open market frem brokers.I have long been of the opinion that a Telegraph Company with 10,000 to 15,000 miles of wire connecting only the principal cities of the country and J avoiding small, outiving places difficult of access, which have little business, and are expensive to maintain, if honestly built and properly managed, could not fail to bea very profitable enterprise.By « honestly built I mean a line on which every dollar of the capital subscribed and bonds issued should bz honestly spent in constructiug the lines and equipping the offices, and that there should be no chance of excessive pre- fits to the contractors.This is what I mean by an honest line; in other words, that the Telegraph Company itself, and not the contractors, should have the full benefit of all the morey for which it bas put out issues.It was commonly believed in Providence when this line was \u2018first proposed, and for some time afterwards, that we were at last to have an honestly constructed Telegraph Company, and that, such being the case, it could not fail to be a good investment.I purchased this stock beliey- ing that, if the Company could be compelled honestly to apply all of the proceeds of i s issues to the construction of \u2018the lines, I would have a very good investment.Soon afier the purchase of my stock I learned that, in addition to the $300,000 of bonds and $500,000 of stock which wére given to the original promoters of the Boston and Washington line, they received back asa sort of 4 bunus,\u201d I suppose, the entire cost of construction.Q.\u2014Do you meaï to say that they re- celved $1,000,000 of stock and bonds in addition to its cost ?A.\u2014Yes; such is my information and belief ; that they not only received one million of bonds and stock, but that thay also received $265,000, with interest at six per cent., which latter-named sum represented the actual cost of constructing the Boston and Washington line.Q.\u2014Ou what ground did the owners of this line justify their action in selling the Boston and Washington line at such an advance over the first cost ?AI cannot answer that quite fully ; | believe it is claimed that they had acquired some valuable franchises, such as the right of entry into Washington through the sewers; the right of entry into New York through a contract they made with the fire department for the maintenance of the fire alarm, and also the right of entry into Providence and Hartford free of expense.I understand that these were claimed to be valuable privileges, 80 valuable as to justify this transaction.But I do not know how much truth there is in this.At all events, the million of stock and bonds were delivered to the original holders, and this stock which has been for sale and the stock which I hold is a portion of this half mil.lien.Q.\u2014To whom was your stock issued ?A.\u2014I cannot tell you; my stock, when bought, stood in the name of J.G.Moore & Co., and bore date June, 1881.Q.\u2014Do you consider such stock valid and legal ?A.\u2014I should think it wasin the hands of third parties, innocent purchasers for a good consideration ;at least I am so advised by counsel learned in the law.Q~\u2014It is claimed in newspaper reports that you do not own any of the original issue of stock of this corporation ; what explanation have you in regard to thai?A.\u2014I claim that I own stock in the $600,000 organization, as my certificates bear date June, 1881, end the present ten million dollar Company was not authorized by law to issue stock until September 15, 1881.My certificates bear on their face the statement that the capital stock was 1¢ raillions, but they seem te have been issued before the ten million dollar Company was authorized to issue stock.If my stock is not original stock I do not know what it is ?Q.\u2014 What is the precise nature of your action ?A.\u2014My bill of complaint sets forth that I am the owner of stock issued in payment for the Boston and Washington line; also that a contract has been entered inte tor the construction of additional lines in consideration of stock and bonds to a large amount, the details of which I am ignorant of.My bill asks that a copy of that contract be filed in Court that 1 may know its conditions ; it also asks that the Company be restrained and perpetually enjoined from issuing and delivering to Jehn G.Moore & Co., the contractors, or to any other person, its stocks or bonds without receiving the full market value of the bonds, ard the par value of the stock, in money, labour, property or material at the current fair market prices of these commodities.In effect, it asks that the Mutual Union Telegraph Company shall receive fur its issues in the carrying out of this contract their just value; that the contracters and the Company shall not be allowed to determine the values, but that they shall be passed upon by the Courts upon proper proof being furnished.It is sought by this means to obtain for the Company in telegraphic property, full par value for its stock, and the full market value for its bonds.If this is accomplished, I have no question as to the future market value of my stock; but, on the contrary, if some check or restraint be not imposed upon the execution of this com- tract, I do uot know what value my stock may have, if any.Q.\u2014Have you any reason to believe that it is intended the Telegraph Company shall receive less than par value for its stock, and the full market value for its bonds ?A\u2014 Yes; one indication is, that they have cffered to give away $4,500,000 of the stock to the subscribers to the bonds.I also learn by inquiry that the late Presithe Secretary, Mr.C.F.Peck ; and the contractors, J.G.Moore & Co.(firm composed of John G.Moore and T.C.Purdy), have been intimately associated in the past in money-making contracts and schemes.I leary that John O.Evans was a manipulator and controller of contracts in the District of Columbia during the regime of Boss Shepherd.I also learn that he was interested in the National Dredging Company, located at Wilmington, Delaware, and elsewhere, of which Mr.Purdy is President, and which is engaged in Government contracting.I also learn that Mr.G.W.Ballou, the financial genius of the Company, through his banking firm, bas been instrumental in placing upon the market what some people call \u201ctwo and three-story securities.\u201d Q.\u2014To what do you refer?A.\u2014I mean the San Pedro and Canon del Agua Mining Company, and the Toledo, Burlington and Delphos Narrow Gauge Railway.Q.\u2014 What do you mean by \u201c three-story\u201d companies ?A.\u2014I mean corporations organized by bankers, railroad promoters, and others interested in making money rapidly, that have three issues, such as first mortgage bonds ; second mortgage or income bonds; and common stock.The plan of such organizations is to sell one of these issues, usually the first mortgage bonds, for anything from 70 cents on the dollar to 95 cents, and to give away the second and third issues either as inducements to purchasers of the first, or else to keep these securities as their own profit for promoting these schemes.I call these three-story\u201d enterprises.Q.\u2014You seem to Lave a poor opinion of such schemes ?A.\u2014I must configs that I have, as I do not think that eitl er railroad or t:legraph enterprises are sufficiently profitable to pay any fair return on three or four times their real cost.Of pourse you can readily see that in the case of such corporations all the money the Company receives is the proceeds of the sale of its first mortgage bonds, and those are generally disposed of far below par.dent of the Company, Mr.John O.Evans ; |- Q.\u2014What is the particular objection to such enterprise ?A.\u2014They are more or less trandulent and delude many honest people into the belief that these issues have value, whereas there is no value attachable to them beyond the amount paid into the Company.The tendency of all such schemes is to inflition, to the disaster of the country, and especially to innocent holders.I should say in regard to this action that I have brought that it Las begun on behalf of myself and all other stockholders of the Company who are similarly situated, and they all have te right to join and share in the benefits by contributing towards the expense.Q.\u2014It seems from your remarks that your object in bringing this suit is to see that the Company gets full value for its issue.Is that the sole aim of your suit?It has been said in seme newspaper articles that you have brought this suit at the request of Mr, Erastus Wiman, a Director in the Western Union Telegraph Company, and also une of the firm cf R.G.Dun & Co.A.\u2014That is not so.The action is brought for the purpose previously stated ; Mr.Wiman never requested me to bring such a suit.The idea of the suit occurred to my mind on learning the fact that the promoters of the little Company had received $1,000,- 000 of profit in the issues of the expanded Company fr the Boston and Washington line, and I am advised by counsel that the Courts in New York will not permit a corporation organized under its laws to issue its stock without receiving full par value for it in cash, labour, or services, at the current fair market value of the same.Some months ago I had noticed an opinion by the Attorney-General of the State ot New York which showed that, s0 far as he was concerned, he was determined that this practice should be no longer permitted.An extract from his remarks is as follows : \u2014 \u201cThe issue of stock in violation of the honest obligation which corporation trustees owe to the public, and to the genuine stockholders who have paid their money in good faith, has become a fruitful source of robbery in tbis country, which cannot be too strongly condemned.I shall feel it my duty whenever an opportunity arises to take proceedings against any corporation, or individual, who claims to be incorporated, engaged in apy such transaction.\u201d : I felt that if this Company were allowed to go or without the restraining influences of the Courts, something might be done that would cheapen and reduce the value of the $9,500,000 of stock yet to be issued in a cheaper degree that was done in the issue of the first half million of stock and half million of bonds.Whenever the Company receives a hundred cents on the dollar, either in money or property, for all its issues of stock and bonds, the object of this suit is accomplished.Q.\u2014Do I understand you to say that Fou have terminated your connection with the mercantile agency ef R.G.Dun & Co.A.\u2014I made up my mind some time ago to resign the position of manager of their Providence office and engage actively in the manufacture of rolled plated chains, iu which I had been interested as a silent partner for the last year and a half.I terminated my relations with the agency previous to the commencement of the suit.1 do not understand that any person in the mercantile agency, except Mr.Wiman, has any active interest in telegraph business, and bis connection is more particularly in Canada, Le beiag President of the Great North-Western Telegraph Company, the Corporation wich operates all the Canadian lines.Mr.Wiman, it is well known, has been interested in telegraph matters in Canada, for twenty vears or mure.Q.\u2014 Who are the counsel in the case ?A.\u2014My solicitors are Messrs.Chamberlain, Carter and Hornblower, of 346 Broadway, New York.The consulting counsel are ex-Governor D.H.Chamberlain, Julien T.Davies, and James McNamee.\u2014 Providence Evening Pressa EPP8'8 COCOA.\u2014{(@RATEFUL AND UOMFORTING.\u2014 By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of diges tion and nutrition, and by a careful application ot the fine properties of well-sclected Cocos, Mr.Epps kas provided our breakfast table with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 bills.It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease, Hundreds of subtle maladies sve floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point.We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame.\u201d Civil Service Qazette.\u2014Made simply with boiling water or milk.Seld only in Packets and Tins (3 1b.and 1 1b.) label- led\u2014«\u201cJaues Epps & Co, Homeopathic Chemists, London, Eng.\u201d\u2014Also makers of Epps's (Vhocolate Essence for afternoon use Houses fox Sale ov to Zet Advertisements under this head inserted a ollowing rates:\u201420 words, 1 insertion, 250 8 insertions, 60e;
