but he had been informed that had he applied to headquarters for rates he would have received a special tariff.He had since received a.copy of .aspecial tariff, but had had no opportunity to examine its application té the.cass.of Montreal.On the printed tariff the rate for refined sugar, Montreal to Halifax, was placed at 33 cents, while the special rate he was told was 25 cents, However that might be, Montreal atill had a grievance, for refined sugars were brought from Halifax to } Montreal for 20.cents, the - same rate he { had to pay for his raw sugars, So .far fram Montreal manufacturers being favored, as had been stated at a recent Halifax meeting, they were plainly discriminated against.He did not wish to say that this state of things was any reflection upon the administration of the Inter- calenial.Twice within twelve months the freight tariff on sugars kad been mbdi-: fied to suit the regmiremeats of Halifax.The rate on raws to Montreal had been raised from 18 cents to 20 cents, while that on refined, Halifax and Montreal,\u2019 had «been lowered dream 22 cents to 20; cents, Æn his opiaion the position of the | delegation, as he had outlined it, was unassailable.He concluded by sabmitting the resolotions passed by the public meeting on the 19th inst.Mr.James Slessor said that as regarded bis own business he had no particular griévance, but he thought tkat on general principles no one city'or section should be discriminated against iu the matter of freight rates te benefit any other nart of il the countey.Mr.Edger Judge said that he appeared as à representative of the flour trade of Montreal.Fifteen or twenty years ago Montreal was a larger flour centre than any other American city with the exception of New York, The Montreal mezchants had control of the trade of the Lower and kad they received fair treatment at the hands of the railways they would have: retained the largest proportion of their: trade.But soon after the opening of the Intercolenial they found that flour might be shipped from points in Gatario to the Lower Provinces at from 20 to 25 cents per barrel less than it would cost the Montreal merchant to bring it to that city and ship it thence, which they wanted the assistance of the Government ; it was a grievance which should be promptly redressed.But they had another grievance, one in which the Government could not perhaps assist them except by legislation on the lines of Mr.Dalton McCarthy\u2019s proposed bill.The Grand Trunk was quoting rates on flour from Ontario to the' Eastern Townships at from $12 to $15 per car less than it would cost the Montreal shipper to deliver it at the same points The merchants of the Townships would prefer lau h, have five, to buy their flour in Moutreal but were forced by the railways to buy from Ontario.\u2018 The consequence of these things was that the once large and flourishing flour trade of Montreal had dwindled down into a mere retail business, supplying only the wants of the city.They did not complain of the rates fto Montreal but of the discrimination against the city.There wads another point : Railways going east from Montreal had adopted uniform rates, which were rigorously maintained.But he knew that it was the practice of the Grand Trunk to give a special rate to some millers and merchants of from two to five cents per hundred under their through tariff, thusymaking it still more difficult for Montreal merchants to do business.Montreal was not deriving any benefit from the new line of railway, for although forbidden by law to pool t-eir interests the two lines had virtually done so by establishing a joint tariff.No sooner had the Canadian Pacific acquired the North Shore road than the rates on_ both lines \u2018were increased: Alex.Motris, cordage tnanufacturer ; J.B.isvis, R.P.McLea and M.H.Gault, M.P., also addreèsed the Migiater, .Mr.Pope, in reply, said, I am very glad to get any information that I can, but I may eay there js a rdyson why ;goods coming from Melifax pay a less\u2019 rate than goods going froua Montreal, I am nôt now speaking of the \u2018gar trade.We have to Ours soe the \u201ctrade coming from.Juropain ships We have to put the rate dosm: sémetimesa good deal below whatit cost§ us to bring it through our ports, or it will go by Port.\u2018land or Boston.Itis not discriminating against anybody.I am speaking of goods coming into the couutry.It is for the benefit of Montreal and for the benefit of «the Dominion that we should bring these goods over our railway, and to do so we \u2018have been obliged to carry raw sugars at a lower rate than we could afford to bring them until a year ago.\u2018This last year there was two and a half per cent, put on sugars landing at a foreign port and being brought into Canada.That enabled us to get something like a fair rate and secure more of the business of bringing sugars iuto Canada.It is exactly so with many other articles ; for instance, we have in the Lower Provinces large quantities: of iron ore.We manufacture iron.We wish to develop these interests, 2nd it is carried at a rate that does not pay us.The rates®ee too low.It is the same with coal.If we charge a rate on coal that would pay we should not be able to bring any coal, but we bring coal at a low rate because we want to develop that great industry in the Lower Provinces, and you gentlemen in Montreal get the benefit of it.With respect to flour, we found that our flour was going in another direction from Ontario.| Our competitors were too strong for us.It went by water, if we did not bring it through it would not do Montreal any guod, and, comsequently, there is a difference in that rate, but it is for the sake of | saving the trade to Canada._ Mr.Judge\u2014Why cannot the Inter- | colonial Railway give us from Montreal \u2018à proportionate rate on that through rate, | Mr.Pope\u2014We do not fix the rate going through.lt is the Grand Trund Railway.No more do we fix the rate on freight going to Sherbrooke and those other localities you refer to in the Mont- -real district, Mr.J'udge\u2014I suggest legislation.Mr.Pope\u2014If we brought sugar from Halifax cheaper than it is moved the other way, it is because Scotch sugars and other manufactures were coming in, we brought them up over our railway, There is.no discrimination.You will mot find a railway in the country that will not try to do all the business it can\u2019 \u2018Consequently there leay be what you' would call too low a rate on one end and too high a rate on the other.But we believe that we are in ro place too high, while in a good many places we are too low.That is, éf you want the road ever to pay and do not want to tax the country for its running expenses, \u2019 Mz.Boivin asked that a .copy of every new tariff adopted by the LC.R.should be sent to the Board of Trade at Montreal.Mr.Pope said that the Board of \u2018Trade could obtain it.The deputation then retired and the members 1eturned to Montreal on the evening train.\u2014Mre.Clara Fisher Maeder, who Bfty= five years ago and more was well known here as 4 pleasing comedienne, 18 now, at Provinces and the Eastern Townships, | the age of 75, playing in the Southwest with much of her youthful charm and grace.;

improved by technical education.The Dublin Chamber of Commerce offered, and the Glasgow Chamber seconded, a resolution \u2018 against weakening the union between England and Ireland because of the disastrous nature of the results which would ensue to the commercial and trading interests of Great Britain.\u201d The meeting ,by a vote nearly unanimous, resolved that the depression of silver and a its present tendency towards disuse as money are disturbing trade generally, and English esstern commerce in particular.Another resolution was adopted urging the Government to unite with other countries in an endeavor to restore silver to its former functigh as a legal tender, thereby giving it q permanent instead of a fluctuating value, Cw A Letter From Prince Jerdme, \u2018Parib,

but they owed thejr escape in a great measure to the intervention of their bonored friends Mr.Joseph Cowen and Mr.Cochran-Patrick.(Cheers.)

Alderman Fairbeirn before proceeding to business wished to rise ta à question of privilege.He read an item from the Star of Friday last containing an interview with Me.C.J.Dokerty, wherein the latter gentleman stated thatthe mauner in which \\ his clients and their counsel were treated .at the last meeting of the Board was an owtrage ; that the Board had expelled them from the room, though allowing the | presence of severat aldermen, as well as the Mayor, end sending fur the City Attorney and his.assistant, : Aldermaz'Faibaizn asserted emphatically that the statement was untrue, Mr.C.&.Doherty said that all the statements he had made were strictly true.He appealed to the Chairman as to whether they were or not.; ; The Chairman said that il was true that all persons, except the aldermer and eity officials, were requested that withdraw ; that they (the aldermen aforesaid) remnained for a time, and that the City Attorney aud bis assistant were sent for and consulted afler the other legal gentle- meu had withdrawn, as requested, but that finally they also were expelied.He ad- uritted that at the close ot the proceedings the Board had left without giving a:y anewer to the tenants\u2019 counsel, and that it would bave been mors proper to have allowed them-in and given them an answer, but vo discourtesy was intended.Mr.Doherty said he was willing to accept the Board\u2019s explanation ; meanwhile be wished to call attention to the fact that tue statements Mr.Fairbuirn said were uutrue were edmitted to L- true, Alderman Fairbairn appealed to the Chairraan as 10 whetuer he considered Mr.Doherty's expression cf opinion just to the Board.: The Chairman said that was a matter of opinion; that he consid.red the opinicd of Mr .Doherty not jnet.Mr.Doherty said he did not expect the Board to agree with his opinion of their conduct.Ail that wai iwportant was that what Mr.Fairbairn said was aatruc, he had been forced to admit was true.He considered his (the speaker\u2019s) reputation for veracity as high as that of any A ider- man, even of any Revisor.Alderman Fairbairn said he withdrew nothing.The statements were untrue.Mr.Doherty sai he had no doubt Alderman Fairbajre would withdraw no ac- Sertion for so slight a reason as that it was inconsistent with truth.At this juncture the City Attorney arrived on the sceue.\u2018The Chairwan submitted to him the peremptory writ, and asked his advice under the circumstances.* Mr.Roy said he was not prepared to advise until he had examined the writ.Ii was not as foruiidable as it looked, He \u2018would remark tiat the judge upon whose order it had Leen issued, had wade haste to leave for Quebec as soon as he had issue i it, It wus also strange that whereas this judge (Judge Çaron) nad declined to grant ihe preliuiinary writ, a mere matter -Of form, wighout notice to him, Mr.Roy, he had issued tls peremptory writ, which Was a cerious matter, without any notice to \u2018him, Mr.C.J.Doberty said he was not there to defend the judge.He considered, however, Mr.Roy\u2019s in-inuations unjust and uncalled for.The hor.judge had left for \u2018Quebec in the ordina:y course after com pleting his work inthis city.As to the issuing of the peremptory writ, it was the necessary legal consequence of the judgment rendered last Thureday.Io ordering it to iseue the judge had but done, but what the law preceribed he should do.Mr.Roy said a writ of appeal had been issued on Thursday.The Chairmau read the resolution direct ing the appeal to be taken only on condition that the Citr Council authorized it, and acked why Mr.Roy had not obtained the Council's authorization before taking: the writ.The City Attorney replied that there would be no meeting of the Council for fcurteen days.He was satisfied that then à lerge majority would approve of the appeal.The Chairman said a could have teen called for day.) .Mr.Roy said meanwhile the peremptory writ would have been served.lfwhen the Council did meet they did not approve of the appeal, it could be dropped.Be had done in this mat-r as he aiways did.The Chairman\u2014 Meanwhile we (the revisore) are being made the targets and they are firing at ns.\u201d \u2019 Mr.Roy\u2014If you say so I will withdraw Ido not take it for pleasure.Ald.Mathieu wisbed to Know whether those members of the Board who had voted against an appeal were to be forced into it.: u Mr.Roy eaid they could not help'it.hey were treated as a Board and con- demncd to pay the costs the same as the others, : The meeting then adjourned to meet and Come to & final decision this afternoon.A remarkable fact elicited by the dis- Cussion concerning the writ of appeal was that il had been applied for on Thursday 88%, before the Board had decided whether * Lot they would obey the: judgment of the Superior Court.mn Water Committee.d'he Water Committee also met yesterday aflerncon.Present: Alderman Dono- vag (in the chair), Aldermen Holland, Mathieu ang Rolland, and also Alderman Grenier and Messrs, Lesage and Lapierre.THE FLOODGATES.After routine, À communicatic \u2018 \"allou was read from Meesre: Fre.& D A - À.Lapointe, architects, stating | special meeting that day (Tues- that they could furnish plaus for the proposed floodgates to be erected at the aqueduct at a much cheaper cost than those wich IL was proposed to accept, aud ou vuich tenders had been called.The Chuairmaa said that this would cause more delay, and the great object at present was to gain all the time possible, and have these gates put up be.ore the flood.Lu Alderman Holland did not think that an architect wou!d be an authority in this matter.; Mr.Francois Lapointe having been called in by the Committee acked for a few days to prepare his plans and °pecifi- cations.His scheme, he said,was approved of by competent men, and would cost only about one-third of the estimated outlay for the one now contemplated to be adopted.Afv-r come discuesion, the Committee resolved to open the tenders submitted in the plans prepared by Mr.Lesage.Paul Lamothe and W.C.Whyte, who engaged themselves to prepare these gates for the 15th September next.for $13,690, Mr.Lamothe thought, however, that an extra expenditure ot $800-would be required to streng'hen each of the three gates ; one from Messrs.Geo.S.Brush and N.X.Lefebvre, who proposed to erect the gates for $11,076 for the 30th J une, without, however, assuming any responsibility; and one from Mr.Joha McDougall, who asked $12,985 to complete the wark! by the lat of August.! As none of the tenders were satisfactory, the Committee decided to ask Mr.Lapointe to prepare his plans for Tuesday next.\u2018l'he Committee then adjourned, to meet again on Tuesday.Ce Park Commissioners, The Park Commissioners also held a meeting, Present : Alderman Holland [in the chair], Alderman Grenier and Donovan.Alderman Stevenson and Park Ranger McGibbon were also in atteadance.MOUNT ROYAL RUSSES.\u201d The Board, acting on the advice of the City Attorney, resolved io relieve Mr.Mc- \u2018Clanaghan, the contractor for the Mount \u2018Royal busses, of his cosetract, in view of the fact that he has been given more competition than he could stand by the erection of he Incline Railway.THE BOTANIC \u2018GARDE, The proposition to give the Montreal Botanic Gurden Association the use of the \u201corchard\u201d at the Mount Royal Park for one year for the purpose of preserving their teeds was then taken up.Mr, Roy, the City Attorney, said that he thought there was no objection to allow the Association to use the land for one year on certain conditions.\u2018Alderman Stevenson warned thé Com- mis-louers not to go 100 far in this matter, as the majority of the Council were against the arrangements proposed by the Commissioners with regard to the Botanic Garden.Again, he asked then to remember that toe Swallpox Hospital might be required if the Government was to ask for ithe use of the Exlibition Grounds.Alderman Grenier thought there was something in this latter remark of Alderman Stevenson\u2019s, aud on his suggestion a proviso was inserted in the deed to the | effect that the Beard of Health have the privilege of using the hospital (St.Roch\u2019s) if fhey should need it, and that all changes be made uuder the Board\u2019s supervision.\u2019 The Board then adjouraed.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 TRE AFPa0ACBING CENTENNIAL OF PRESBYTEZRIANISM IN MONTREAL.[The following was intended for yesterday\u2019s HeraLp, out did not reach us in time.\u2014Ebp 1 On the 13th March, 1786, the Rev.John Bethune gathered together the Scotck residents of Moutreal in a large room on Notre Dame street, and after divine service there and then organized a Presbyterian congregation.A congiderable proportion of the English speaking citizens of that day were from Scotland, some of whom had bees in the army and others who had come to Canada to prosecute the fur trade.Mr.Bethune, father of the late Dean of Montreal and of ike late Bishop of Toronto, had served as Chaplain to the 84th Regiment (Highland Emigrants), and when the regiment was disbaaded, after the conclusion of peace with the United States, he took up his residence in Montreal.Up ta this time all the Protestants in the city and district had been ministered to by Rev, D.C.deL sle, who was styled Rector of Montreal, and Military Chaplain, The Scottish merchants belonging to the North- West compasy were among tbe most liberal supporters of the English church, and some of them sem to have belonged + both communions and even to have held office in both churches\u2014at least from 1736 to 1790.Mr.Bethune hot, aud he asked for another place to coatinue his work.Mr.Christin allowed him to go into Mr.Gosselin\u2019s office, where be re- ma'ned alone, having the list entirely to \u2018himself for more than half an hour.H: then brought back the books to the safe and left the office.These facts are corroborated by Mr.Christin, aod also by Alderman Perreault aud his clerk.Since the list of the Ceatre Ward was which it was allowed to remain in the hands of an outsider without proper supervision.It was done without my knowledge.I cannot, of course, say positively that Mr, Phaneuf is the party who tampered with the list; but when, coupled with the facts above stated, it is considered that he is à strong supporter and cauvasger of one of the candidates (Mr.Perrault), aud that all torse whose names were thus undulz interfered with would, as I am cred bly informed, have voted for Mr, Perrault, if allowed to vote, the public are in a position to draw their own conclusions.Iam, Yours respectfully, Crs.GLACKMEYER, City Clerk.- THE CITY ATTORNEY SPEAKS.A HEeraLp reporter called on Mr.Roy, the City Attorney, yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of ascertaining from that gentleman what steps he.had taken, if apy, with regard to the instructions given him by the Board of Revisors to proceed against the authors of the attempted fraud on the Centre Ward liste.Mr.Roy said: \u201cI have been instructed to act in the matter, but what can I do?No deposition has been pluced in my hands which could indicate the guiltv parties.I have not the power to hold an enquiry and have no means to find out the authors of the fraud.I cannot proceed against unknown parties.\u2019 It is true that a certain man\u2019s name has been mentioned, but that is no evilence on which to base an action,\u201d } SPECIAL NOTICE.PHOTOGRAPHS OF .GENTLEMEN, LADIES AND CHILDREN, EITHER SEPARATELY OR IN GROUPS, IN SNOWSHOE OR TOBOGANNING COSTUME, A SPECIALTY AT NOTMAN\u2019S, ' BLEURY STREET.Jan.30 tf 6 .DIED.GILMOUR\u2014AU Brockville, on February 20th, William Gilmour, of the firm of T Gilmour & Co., aged 66 years.- u 47 BARRE\u2014QOn the morning of the 23rd inst., at bis late residence, 212 St.Hubert street, Felix Barre, Esq., of this city.Funeral at 8 a.m.Thursday, 26th instant.Parents and friends are invited to attend.Fem Aducrtisements JUST PUBLISHED, Sermons and Addresses Delivered in America by Archd.Farrar, including -his Lecture on \u2018\u2018 Dante,\u201d - and also his \u2018 Farewell Thoughts on America.\u201d PRICE 82.25.F.E.GRAFTON & SONS, R52 St.Jumes Street.* Feb.24 4 SMOKE NUISANCE.To all requiring a SMOKE CONSUMER.I am prepared to put one on any Steam Boiler.Guaranteed to give satisfaetion or no charg-.Patsnted May, 188].Beware of any other Smoke Consumer placed on the sides of the fire, as that is the claim, and granted to me in Canara, United States, nglaud, France and Belgium.JAMES ELLIOTT, Patentee, 1/5 Inspector Street.udy few Advreliscwenis CARPETS! 307 An early show at 8.CARSLEY\u2019S of NEW CARPETS!

rulation- ships will b: connected with frosts, cold weather and snows later on ia the season.I anticipate an excellent epell or two of suzariog weathe: daring the month, and advise farmers to prepare

tornadoes south and west, with severe storms north and north-west.The most noticeable storm periods of tae month I lpcate between the 4th and Tth, when heavy rains and snows are likely, according to location, with a general snow blockade wherever the precipitation takes the form of snow.This will cause floods and washouts, and, as it occurs near ihe ecliptic co: junction of the sun and moon, will be accompanied by high tides on the coasts.Another storm period seems likely between the 9th and 12th, with unsettled March weather, heavy snows and gales.period\u2019 may cover a term «f five or six

Mail \" Libel Suit Again in Court, The case ot Macrae agaiust the Canadian Pacific Railway for balance due of $207,000, was continued yesterday before Mr.Justice Torrance.Mr.Donald Mac- master, Q.C., Mr.N.Trenholme, Q.C., and Mr.F.8.Maciennan appearing for the plaintiff, while Messrs.M.M.Tait, Q.C., and H.Abbott looked after the interests of tue railway., The first witness called was Mr.Stod- dart, Canadian Pacific Railway contractor on the Lake Superior section, who was examined by Mr.Trenholme, Q.C., and said that the work on the plaintifPs section was much more diffieult than on his, because supplies were much harder to get.This rendered the work of construction much more expensive than it would other- measuring lumber would allow two feet on each stick for waste in

June he was discugping Hriets and list work with Mr.Ross.So tar ag witness knew Ross waû the.Ohiy man he dealt with.He used\u2019 Geveräl Classes of timber, both plain and sawed.Had seen Macrae\u2019s contract with the company but liad not read it.Does not know how Macrae\u2019s prices compare with those of his own.It was much easier for witness to get timber than for Mr.Macrae.lle considered that 10 per cent.would cover the waste on round timber.Tne cost of mud sills is po criterion as to the cost of round timber, which was all valuable ia the \u2018structure of trestle and bridge work.There was timter on witness\u2019 section of land which could be sawed.Redirect:\u2014This was not true of Mr.Macrae\u2019s section.Tne flat or squared timber would have been worthless if used in place of the round.A stick of round tim- bar twe.ve inches long would contain 108 ches of squared timber, but would be stronger than a stick ot sawed timber wwelve inches tquare, containing 144 inches of timber, and it would also be more durable under ordinary circumstances.MR.VAN HORNE wag then recalled and examived by Mr.Macmaster.He had written to Mr.Ro 8 at one time, suggesting that temporary trestles should te built in places which could afterwards be filled in after the-trac« was laid.Usually contractors are paid for round timber what it would bring if squared.Of course, circumstances might vary thie, A stick twelve inches in diameter at the small end and twenty long wight be 14, 16, 18 or 20 inches in diameter at the large end.In such a case there would likely be some special contract.A round post 18 much stronger than a equare one of the same size.\u2018The strength of à post is the strength ef ity weakest point under pressure.In lateral strain the strain \u2018i- greatest in the centre.The temporary trestles did not require stronger timber thaa tle sticks would make equared, So that he supposed the contractor\u2019 put the round timber in to save himself the ex-! pense of squaring it.MR SHAUGHNESSY, recalled, testified that the books of the company show credit; for the plaintiff in accorauce with the final estimate.The books of the Port Arthur division were sent to Montreal in July or August.From these was prepared a statement showing a balance due to Mr.Macrae of $168,000.A copp of this was sent to the auditor and afierwards to witness.Never sent a.written notice to Mr.Macrae or his attorney that the statement was incorrect.Told Mr Macrae\u2019s attorney that the account was roughly incorrect to the extent of $37,- 000.Found subsequently that the discrepancy was much.larger.Agreed to see the general wanager and suggest a settlement.Mr.Van Horne always was of opinion tht the discrepancy was very large.He bad never said he would settle the case on the basis claimed.MR.J, G.OGDEN was next examined.He said that in the general books of the company there was no such balance as $168,000 tou the credit of the plaintiff.Only such balances as were due were carried forward aod these were never carried from the Port arthur to the general books.Final estimates were never paid until approved of by the general manager.AFTER RECESS.The examination of Mr.Ogden was resumed and was shortly broken oft by a request for time on the part of couneel to consult, .In about a quarter of au hour Mr.Mac- master, Q.C., on behalf of the counsel eu- gaged in the case, said a settlement hai been arrived at.His Honor Judge Torrance remarked he was very glad to hear mentioned in open court, but if was subsequently ascertained that the company agreed to pay $121,000 in cash and to assume the payment to the Oatario Government of the claim for timber dues.The case thieatened to be very protracted, and, no doubt, both parties acted wisely in closing it up upon an equitable basis.As His Honor bowed to counsel aad left the beach, the great throng of witnesses withdrew, and 1n a few minutes the court room that had been the scene of crossfire of counsel and anxious faces of witnesses wore its serene and uninteresting appearance of calm, the great railway suit being an event\u2019of the past.Later in the day mutual discharges were executed, and the active Assistant General Manager of the Pacific Railway Company banded a check for $121,000 to Mr.Macrae.¢ A STRANGE ACTION.\u201d Mr.Justice Papineau, of the Superior Court, yesterday

compared with the preyiouy year.It will be seen that the revenue for 1885 exceeded that of 1884 by $9,823: This is considered ag are- markably fine showing in view of the fact that Montreal was very sorely tried during the year.This excess of revenue would have been materially increased had not- the Department, acting on the recommendation of the Board of Health, allowed a latitude ia the payment Of water 1ates, especially in the poorer quarters of the city.The decrease under this head amounted to $18,719.Another noticeab'e item which will be found in the table which ful'ows ig the revenue
