to-morrow the date upon which be will make a statement in relation to Ireland.It is probable that he will also partially explain the nature of his proposals, The Daily News believes that no definite

Union between Ireland and Great Britain, Bishop Graves in announcing the adoption of the resolutions, said the Synod spoke on behalf of six hundred thousand church men who, he added \u201ccomprised the majority of the foremost people of Ireland in rank, education, ownership of property, and professional skill, all of Whom insist upon living under the rule of an Imperial Parliament,\u201d Arch-Bishop Plunket, said that a quarter of a million church men bolonging to Munster, indignantly repelled the idea that the Nationalists bad a monopoly of Ireland\u2019s patriotism.They did not object to a parliament in Dublin if the members should not be men with ulterior aims, such es Professor Galbraith, or the present Lord Mayor of Dublin.He hid cot donbt that behind the demand for Home Rule were claims for entire separation and advanced Socialism, Pasteur's Patients.Paris, March 23.\u2014One of the wolf- bitten Russians, who recently came here and were treated by Pasteur to prevent rabies, died last night in great agony with all the symptoms of hydrophobia.Pasteur is not at all dismayed by the failure of his treatment in this case.The Russians arrived here and were placed under Pasteur\u20193 care on March 15, They were Mujiks and were 19 in number.All had been attacked by mad wolves and terribly lacerated.The man who died last night had been inoculated with virus twice a day since his arrival, His terrible death with all the symptoms of hydrophobia in its worst form hag operated as à serious check to public confidence in the effectiveness of Pasteur\u2019s discovery.The corpse has been removed to Pasteur\u2019s laboratory, where it will be made the sub- Ject of experiment by the scientists, M, Pasteur is muck annoyed by the unfavorable comments caused by this failure of his method, but he insists that it establishes nothing.Pasteur injected morphine into a dying Russian, but without avail.The spinal marrow of the dead man will be used to inoculate dogs experimentally, The other Russian patients are doing well, Gladstone Exolted.LoxDpoN, March 23,5 am.\u2014 Mr, Gladstone in the House of Commons last night looked unusually weak, weary and perplexed.While yet merely a listener, during à motion by Mr.Howard Vincent to increase the estimates for volunteers, Mr.Gladstone's face flushed, and he appeared laboring under great excitement.MONTREAL, This broke out in the answering speech, which was vehemently delivered and with many personalities.He, however, beat the motion, but by a narrow majority of The Telegraph calls his speech a lecture and \u201ca sound castigation administered to the luckless Mr.Howard Vincent and An opposition almost too astonished to groan;\u201d but it apologetically adds, * his perplexities are grave enough to excuse a certain disturbance of mental equanimity.The Tory Post is, however, bitter on the speech, describing the Premier as violating etiquette in not allowing the War Minister to answer Mr.Vincent, and as using \u201c the language of passion, sarcasm and abuse.\u201d Even the Liberal News describes the speech as one \u201cof extraordinary vehemence.\u201d A Cabinet\u2019s Danger.LownoN, March 22.\u2014 Some very singular revelations as to the methods by which Mr.Gladstone\u2019s Cabinet was formed are promised to immediately follow the collapse which is now admitted to be imminent.The substance of these disclosures has long since been cabled to America in the form of intimations tnat the Ministry was at the best a compromise body, and hints of the presence in the cabinet of an element that would ultimately contribute more largely to its downfall than would an adverse parliamentary vote or any other circumstance, In a letter published in to-day\u2019s Times, Edward Hereage, chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, is cited as having publicly said that his only reason for joining the government was that he might bein a position to assist at the time of its overthrow, upon the development of the Premier\u2019s Irish policy.The almost absolute certainty that others in the Cabinet share in Hereage\u2019s mission strengthens the belief that the possibility of averting à crisis is very remote.The intense antagonism of the Radicals to the land purchase scheme as an admission to the landlords\u2019 rights, resembles in may respects the opposition to the Abolitionists of the North to the principle of compensating the slave-hol ler of the South.A TERRIBLE STORY.The South Australian Advertiser of the 27th ot Jaouary, received by yesterday\u2019s mail, contains an account forwarded by telegraph from Melbourne of a remarkable occurrence which took place on the night of the 25th at Coburg in the family of Charles Hampton, formerly an overseer of one of the trades in the Pentridge prison.The family resided in Louisa street, Coburg.Mre.Hampton, the mother, is about 50 years of age, and has a family consisting of several boys and iris, the youngest daughter, named Éthel Mary, being between eight and nine years old.It appears tuat Mrs.Ham- ton, for some time past, had shown symp- tome of weakness of mind, though the fact was only known to the family.On the night of the 25th of January Mre.Hampton went to bed with her daughtera in one part of the house, and the father and eldest son in rooms in another part.At midnight the son was disturbed by a cry of distress from his mother\u2019s room.He got up and awoke his father, and they went to Mrs.Hamp'on\u2019s room.The door was locked, but their alarm was allayed by eitber the mother or one of the daughters stating that one of the girls had been taken ill, though not seriously.The father and son returned to bed.At 6 oclock the latter was aroused by one of his sisters, and the statement she made to him induced him to hurry to his mother\u2019s room.A horrible sight met his gaze.The body of the child Ethel was found rolled up ina blanket quite dead and covered with blood, with the head almost severed from tbe body.The MOTHER AND HER ELDER DAUGHTERS were lying down smeared with blood, traces of which were seen all over the room.Two daughters, Annie and Mary, had a frightful gash in each of their arms above the elbow, from which blood was flowing freely.The other girl was similarly cut in one arm only.The mother was not wounded at all, Search was made for the weapon with which the crime had been perpetrated, and a white-handied sharp penknife stained with blood was found Ridden between the mattresses.Mrs.Hampton appeared to be perfectly unconscious of what had occurred.The girls were much excited, and being asked how the crime was committed said they had all sworn not to tell.The police v ere 830a on the spot, accomponied by a medical man, The wounds cf the girls were dressed, and the flow of blood, which threatened to be fatal to them, was stopped.Eventually the youngest girl made a confession, which leads to the belief that the tragedy occurred through religious mania.Her statement 19 to the effect that something was influencing them to be wicked, and that the moth r asked them which they would choose, death or a bad life, and they decided for death, They agreed to put an end to each other's lives, and asked God it they were doing what he wished, A noise was heard as of PEALS OF THUNDER ant the chaking of windows, which they took to be an answer in the affimative.They decided upon killing the youngest child first, and then they began to kill themselves.The mother waited to see the others die; but in the meantime day broke, when one of the girls fetched her brother.l'hree of the daughters are named Annie, aged 25, Eleanor, aged 21, and Mary,49 years, and al of them appear to bave received a fair education.The family i8 universally respected.The mother and girls have been placed under restraint.Further information, gleaned from the confes:ion and from statements made by the brother, has elicited that the three girls mentioned, in consequence of reading certain puvlications which attained great notoriety in London last summer, had been laboring under the hallucination that some prreous had been endeavoring to drug them with a felonious intent, They were in constant dread of being waylaid.On the 25th they held a conference avd decided to kill themselves as the only hope of avoiding a life of shame.The mother joined with them in the purpose.When the decision was come tothe mother and Mary, the youngest of thie three daughters, held the child Ethel down and hacked her to death with a penknife and razor.After this deed was done they held a council, and decided that the mother should not die.They then cut one another's arms with 8 view of severing the main artery and bleeding to death.After a while, bowever, the bleeding stopped, and another incision was made.The girls are in à critical state, particularly the elder ones.The mother, who has been arrested, 810ws i nmistakable signs of insanity.road Franchise

23.\u2014When asked about last night\u2019s conference of the coal presidents, to-day, Frederick A.Potts said that the action of the presidents was taken because coal had been mined lately at a loss to the companies, Now that the combination was formed, the public need not fear that it would be used to force the price of coal above a fair price, In 1882 and 1883 the price of stove anthracite was $3.75 per ton, This was a fair price and would pay the com- pavies to do business In 1885 there were 32,000,000 tons mined, and the amount to be mined in 1886 willl be greater.The price has been about $2.60 per ton, so that coal will probably rise at least $1.10 per ton before it comes to a stand.This combination is fought to be the strongest ever formed.he greatest excitement prevails in the coal trade.Men are frantically crying about * options,\u201d which they have held, but to no purpose, The price was taxed by all the companies at the opening of business, this morning, The annual report of the coal trade has just been issued by the Coal Trade Journal, and it shows a total output of 102,224, 552 tons for the United States during 1885.of which 31,623,529 tons was anthracite and 70,601,024

Komne\u2019s bedroom they found a revolver, four round shells of lead about three inches in diameter, a cartridge box, a piece of iron pipe with a projecting fuse at the end and about six yards of coil.A little book beside the shells explained their use, On the outside, printed in German was the following inscription : \u201cRevolutionary war knowledge,\u2014a book containing the art of using and manufacturing dynamite, gun cotton, explosive mercury, bombs, incendiary implements and poisons ; edited by Johann Wostand, published by the Intornational Zeitung Verein No, 167 William street, New York.\u201d The police beat a hasty retreat.When they concluded to go back and make a more thorough investigation, they found that the shells weighed about five pounds and that they were sll lined with plaster of pair.Only one of them was apparently loaded.In the tops were little holes just the size of each of about fifty caps found in the cartridge box.The piece of tube was closed at both ends, but a little piece of cotton stuck out of a crack.The fuse is soft inside, but with a hard tarred exterior.The officers found in an adjoining room a Springfield rifle, a box of cartridges and a pot for melting lead, of which there was a large quantity in the room.All the stuff was taken to the police head-quarters.etl WEATHER REPORT.Mowrrear, March 23, 1836, Leinperature in the shade by

THISTLES LOSE THE QUEBEC OUP, The challenge match for the Quebec challenge cup, which will probably close the Curling matches of the season, was played at the Thistle Rink yesterday afternoon and evening, between two rinks each from the Montreal and Thistle Curling Clubs.The match was the best contested during the season, and resulted ina victory for the Montreal Club by four shots.The following are the names and scores of the four rinks.RINK No, 1.Thistles.Montreal.Rev.J.Barclay, A.G.Fenwick, T.K, Alexander, J.R.Wilson, J.T.Archibuld, A.F.Riddell, A.Nichol.H.Haswell.Skip 21.Skip

McCormick, St.John, and Croweil, Halifax, for $100 a side and the chawpionship of America took place in the rink to-night.The 1ce was a little soft, but in very fine eondi- tion.The rink measures nearly=eixty- seven laps for five miles.McCormick took the lead, both men going a hard pace.Crowell held him ; McCormick had the inside track.They skated to ether, going well for half the distance, Crowell right at the St.John man\u2019s heels.MecCor- mick\u2019s eplendid stroke carried him down the rink at a great pace, but he did not cut the corners quite as sharp as Crowell ; the latter skated strongly, bit not so pretty a stroke as McCormick.McCormick seemed to make an effort on the thirty-third lap to throw Crowell and broke into a hard race, but Crowell hung on.It was intensely interesting for four laps, when they eased u and continued in the same positions, I looked as 1f there would be the struggle at the finish.About forty-nine laps they spurted again, but vot hard, all the time,however, swingiog round, stroke for stroke, It was either man\u2019s race.On the fifty-fitth lap they spurted, and Crowell nearly crowded nto the lead, but a few powerful strokes held McCormick his place at the front.Crowell tried for first lace at the sixty- first lap, but failed.Now it seemed to be McCormick\u2019s race, aud he burst into a spurt on the sixty-sixth lap, and cleared a space behind him.Around both men flew, but McCormick was surely gaining, and as they rounded for the last lap, he left Crowell thirty yards behind, Crowell could not hold him this time and the race was McCormick\u2019s; but just as he turned the last corner, going at a terrific pace, be ran close to the side of the rink and his skate catching he turned several times and fell.He was almost up, but Crowell had covered the difference, was beside him, past and across the line before McCormick fully recovered.I'he race was McCormick\u2019s but tor the accident, Crowell skates finely, but the St.John man clearly had reserved speed, which Crowell could not keep up with, A lot of money changed hands.The time was seventeen minutes and forty-five seconds ; the time as follows : three minutes twenty- five seconds ; three minutes thirty-one seconds ; three minutes thirty-five seconds ; three minutes thirty-seven seconds ; three «minutes thirty-seven seconds.The Halifax men here are jubilant, Me- | Cormick takes it well, but considers it was his race if he had not fallen.There is no doubt of that, but the race was magnificent from first to last, Trotting.TWO-YRAR-OLDS\u2019 RACE.Loxpow, March 23.\u2014At the Lincolu spring meeting, to-day, the Brocklesby stakes for two-year-olds was won by Baron DeHirsch\u2019s April Fool, Lord Londouderry\u2019s ing.The quality of the opening perfor mance, noticed in the Times à week ago, made it easy to foresee à similar consummation.No one, however, could have predicted a scene such as has, perhaps, never Leen witnessed in an English theatre and, let us hope, will never be witnessed again.As that scene, for the present at least, marks the final stage of Italign opera in this country, and therefore has a kind of historic significance, it will be well to state briefly what occurred.The announcement that Gounod\u2019s Faust would be given had drawn a very large audience, which filled the cheaper parts of the house to overflowing, At first everything seemed o promise aa enjoyable evening, It is true that Bignor Vizzani was fourd to be a very indifferent Faust, but Signor Vidal, a good singer and an excellent actor, produced a favorable impression a8 Mephistopheles, and Mr.Walter Bolton\u2019s Valentine satisfied the modest demands of a Saturday night audience, No wonder, therefore, that the curtain fell on the Kermesse scene amid thun ders of applause.À very long pause followed, which the gallery, suspecting nothiag worse than the usual dilatoriness of operatic scene shifters, beguiled by singing * Wait till the clouds roll by,\u201d and other popular ditties humorously adapted to the situation.In the meantime, many seats in the orcuesira remained empty, and presently a voice was heard to say \u201cI professori non sono pagati,\u201d which statement being interpreted to the effect that the band not having been paid refused to play, and travelfing from the first row of the stalls to all parts of the house, produced A PERFECT ROAR OF INDIGNATION.Seriously wronged as the members of the orchestra no doubt were, it is im possible to approve of their conduct in bringing their grievance before the public at the risk of serious disturbance, and we were glad to see Mr.Val Nicholson, Mr.Ould, Mr.White, and other leading artists faithful at their post.To his diminished forces, Signor Mascheroni, the coaductor, gave the sign to begin the prelude to the next act.But the public refused to be satisfied, and even when the curtain had risen on Margaret's garden, indignant calls for ¢ the manager \u201d and for *¢ an explanation *\u2019 cop- tinued to resound from pit to galleries.To a young Russian lady, said to be a novice on the stage, belongs the honor of having saved the situation at this juncture.Undisturbed by the threatening aspect of the house, Mdile.Alexandra Bojenko came forward to the foot-lights and by her graceful, though necessarily mufe, appeals to the chivalrous instincts of the crowd, secured silence for Siebel\u2019s address to the flowers, which was followed by a well- deserved burst of approval.The acting was then allowed to continue in peace.Mdlle.Dalti (Margaret) entered and sang the \u201cKing of Thule\u201d and her duet with Faust, showing herself possessed \"f a sympathetic voice and of considerable his trionic power.Serious criticism of the performance, accompanied by an orchestra without clarinets and with a single flute, would of course be spmoossible.\u2018The wonder was that, to use Dr.Johnson\u2019s words, \u201cit was done at all.\u201d Again the curtain fell amid rapturous applause, and again AN INTERMINABLE * WAIT\u201d ensued.By this time the audience had fairly lost its temper, aad the groane and angry cries waxed louder.When the tumult was at its highest the stage manager stepped forward and declared that the scene shifters, not having received their money, refused to work, therefore, the cer- formance would terminate with \u2018God save the Queen,\u201d But even this modest\u2019 sop to the Cerberus of excited feeling was not voucheafed.The curtain rose once more, and on the stage, drawn up in double file, were seen à number of supers and other employees, temales and males, partly in their ordinary dress and partly in their theatrical costumes.lastead of intoning the National Anthem they made pitiful appeals to the audience for the pay of which they bad been defrauded by the manager.Coins were thrown and scrambled for in wild confusion, no one making the slightest attempt to put an end to the disgraceful proceedings, which lasted for upwards of half an hour.After this the few persons remaining in the stalls began to leave the house, but they were met ii the passage by the occupants of the gallery clamoring for their entrance-mouey and for the manager, who, of course, was nowhere to be found.Some rough horse-play now ensued 1n ths lobby of the house; CARPETS WERE PULLED op, and coe or two lamps broken.Fortunately the crowd, like most English crowds, was good-humored, having probably derived more amusement from the exciting incidents ofthe evening than the finest performance of Gounod\u2019s masterpiece could have afforded, The mischief to life and property that might bave been done under different circumstances is incalculable, the theatre being at the obsolute mercy of the excited gudience from ll at night till 1 in the morning, when the last stragglers dispersed.What must have struck intelligent foreigners on and off the stage more than anything else was the happr-go- lucky state of 1adifference displayed by*the authorities ; * no policeman was anywhere to be seen, and this after the recent experience in Pall-Mall and Mayfair! Abroad the very origin of the disorder would have teen impossible.In France and Germany a manager has to deposit à Certaiu sum by way of caution-money before beginning his performances ; io London he can take the largest theatre he can find without any question as to his solvency being asked; a.d there is every reason to doubt whether the criminal law can touch him for cheating singers, scene-shifters and tLe public of their money.Artistically speaking, the riotous proceedings of Saturday wili probably be remembered as the ignominious end of an institution tor two centuries the most fashionable in England, Italian opera inthe Haymarket has always been an unlucky speculation.From the great Handel downwards one manager has succeeded another on the royal road to bankruptcy.Covent Garden is a circus; the sooner Her Mujesty\u2019s Theatre je turned into a post office or any other respectable place of business the better, ee Lessep» at Home.Paris, March 23.\u2014The steamer Wagh.ington, with M.DcLesseps on board on his return from Parama, arrived af St.Tiara second and General William\u2019 3.Pierre third, Nazaire :o-duy.The municipal authori- Mes gave à banquet this evanin.e in à of DuLesacpe, C rn ON.ER AE.EE \u2014\u2014 ue + - tal street : \u2014 w w> ok of Qs == Dee ° < 28 [de 82/82 STOCKS.2% Bam ed) =a : |.i 18 |e g 17 Bank of Montreal.| 3200 |5 p.C.209 2083 Ontario Bank.J 100 8 o.c.| 15 1124 Bank B.N.A.| £50 [8 P.0.j.s000j.cuu0 Banque du Peuple.\u2026| $ 50 |.01.22015 Ti Molsons Bank.60 {4 p.c.|* 191 *123 Bank of Torouto.100 {4 p.c.| 1983 188: Bank Jacques Cartier;

15th of March.Owing to the lateness of the spring weather this year, he extended the time until the 24th instant.As to some of the sidewalks on the rarrow streets not being cleaned off now, he explains that this is not done at the request of the Road Bepartmeut, who do not wish to see the road blocked up witu ice and snow.He thinks it is.unfair to blame the police authorities .when they seek to do their duty.Tue Haokuests ANNUAL DRIVE.\u2014The Annual drive given under the auspices of the Hackmen\u2019s Union, the proceeds of which are donated to the funds of the Montreal General and

city, and either, around the two mountains or through the Paik, a: the roads will permit.The start will be made at 2 ¢\u2019clock sharp from Victoria Square, and itis expected that about 100 sleighs will be placed at the die- poral of the public, among which will be four four-ic-bands and several doubles and tandems, The seats, as usual, will b, fifty cents, and due notice will be given where tickets for the drive may be obtained.TBE Banque NATIONALE DEFAULTER.\u2014 Mr.Matte, the Banque Nationale Inspector, has concluded his investigation into the frauds committed by the ex-ledger- keeper, Gustave Mercier, and it appears that tbe irregularities amount to about $10,000 or $12,000.It is not expected, however, that the bank will lose anything like this amount, as negotiations sre un foot with à view of effecting an arrangement with the puriy who was allowed by Mercier to overdraw his account The exact amount received by Mercier for his sé kindness\u201d is not known nor has bis present residence \u2018been exactly located, though it wculd appear that he has gone west.It has also been found that Mercier forged & number of cheques, besides al lowing parties to overdraw

RINKS.Interesting Resume of Their History, - The Bnsiness Done During the Present Season.The Uses to Which They Will be Put This Summer.Notes of Interest to Skaters in General.[CONTINUED], Pressure on the news\u2019 columns of THE HzrALD prevented the continuation of the above subject until tois morning, when we return to it and re-open the subject with 8 resume of the history of the leading skating resorts of the metropolis of Canada.THE VICTORIA SEATING RINK, pre-eminently the skating rink nut only of Montreal, but of Canada, was built by the Victoria Rink Co, in 1861, the capital stock of the company being $20,000.On the completion of the rink, early in the winter of 62, the company was incorporated by special Act of the Legislature and the new association started on its career under the brightest auspices.The Victoria,\u2014as all Montrealers know, a8 well as ladies and gentlemen in nearly every city in the American Union who have had occasion to visit our fair city duringthe winter season\u2014is situtated on Drummond street, near Dorchester, right in the fashionable centre of Montreal» and iv the most magnificent building devoted to skatorial purposes in America.The rink has an exceptionally large ice surface and in the front portion of the building are the handsomely furnished apartments of the directors and the comfortable rooms set aside for the patrons of the rink.The walls of the Victoria have witnessed many brilliant scenes.It has seen the fair daughters and brave sons of our beloved Queen disport themselves on its crystal ice, which has algo not been a stranger to the princes acd nobility of other nations, The rink was the birth place of the fancy dress skating carnivals that have of late years been the rage throughout Canada, aud as yet the scenes witnessed on the ice of this celebrated institution on the occasions of these brillant gatherings have been unequalled elsewhere in Canada.Among the names of those notables who have enjoyed the exhilarating pastime of skating on its glassy surface, and who are honorary members of the Victoria Skating Club, may be mentioned His Excellency the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marchionesse of Lane- downe, the Marquia of Lorne, Her Royal Highuess the Princess Louise, His Royal Higkness Prince Arthur, His Imperial Highness The Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, the Earl of Dufferin, the Countess of Dufferin, and Lord Monck.The club has a life member in the person of Mr.James Torrance.Since the inauguration of the rink, ug- wards of 20 years ago, it has been the winter recort of the elite of Montreal society, a :d the entertainmeuts given by the directors are always among the events of the seacon, while a tourist\u2019s visit to our city would be far from complete if some : ours were not spent within the walls of vld Victoria.The officers of Victoria Rink during the the present year are:\u2014President, B.S, Clouston, Eeq ; Vice-President, H.Montague Allan, Eeq.; Directors, Messrs.J.Try Davis, Harry Abbott, Andrew À.Allan, Hugh Paton, and W.H.Meredith ; Sec- retary-Treasurer, W.Alexander Caldwell, Eeq.Each and ail of these gentlemes, wore particularly the courteous president, vice-president and the indefatigable gecret- ary-treasurer, have done everything in their power for the comfort and enjoyment of their guests and patrons during the past reason, and to visit the rink is alone an assurance of an enjoyable time, During the season the Victoria has un~ dergone many improvements at a large outlay.The gallery, hitherto extending only at one side and end of the building, has been extended completely around the rink, while a commodious gallery has been erected for the accommodation of the Vie.toria Rifles band, which plays on three evenings of each week during the season.Among the members of the Victoria Skating Club who have gained renown on the \"hin steel blades, may be mentioned Louis Rubenstein, the champion fancy figure skater of the world, R.A.Elliott, the old time favorite speed skater, ard the new luminary in the backward line, Mr, J.O\u2019Brien.~The Victoria can also boast of a Hockey Club with the favorite Jack Arnton at its head, the equal of any in Canada.During the season the business done by the rink has been exceptionally good.Two of the popular fancy dress carnivals (fully reported in THE HERALD at the time) have been held.A match race between Elliott and Lee has been run, in which the Victoria representative carried off the palm, and the annual sports and games on the 3rd cf February, all of which have been very successful.Although the uses to which the rink will Le put to during the summer are not as yet officially aunounced,it is understood that as eoon as the ice goes, preparations will be begun to inaugurate a roller rink on a largescale, in which the patrons of this graceful art may ebjoy themselves during thehot weather.To-morrow we will have something to say of the other Montreal rinks.2 ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.A Painfal Occarrenee at Mr.Trettier\u2019s Residence.A three-year-old son of Mr.A.A.Trottier, cashier of the Banque du Peuple, was accidentally shot at his father\u2019s residence at Laprairie, on Monday afternoon.It appears that tue little fellow had gone up 10 the garret of the house in company with Mies Adele Trottier, his sister, a young lady of sixteen, for the purpose of satisfying bis curiosity in the old family relice which were stored away in that place.Io removing an old coat from a peg whire it hung, Mies Trottier felt an unexpected weight, and on looking into one of the pockete, found au old-fashioned revolver, The little fellow at once drew yu to see the unexpected find, and while Mies Trottier was hacdling it, it suddenlv shot olf and the ehild was fatally wounded in the forehead, dying some four hours after- warde, notwithstanding the efforts of Dr.Brisson, who had been summoned.The feelings of Miss Trottier and the whole family can better be imagined thav de- seribed.She has been perfectly distracted tince the sad event, and is now under the care of the Sisters of Providence and is in & very precarious condition.The ghild was buried yesterday.Mr.Trottier and VITE Acocemas, HERALD which is all the more painful \u2018wing to the fact that two of his children died some time ago of dip!:theria.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE NEWFOUNDLAND TRADE.The Trade Relations Existing With Canada.It will be remembered thatlast year it looked for awhile as if the trade relations between Canada and Newfoundland would be interrupted.The wove to place a duty on Newfoundland oils and fish bere had the effect of inducing the Newfouudlanders to retaliate by imposivg a duty of $1 on flour.After some representations had been made to the Oitawa (Government on the matter the latter coneented to a suspension of the Order-in- Council for the season.As the gpring trade is about to open some of the Montreal merchants interested in Newfoundland are anxious that the Government should allow last year\u2019s arrangement to continue.In conversation with à member of the firm of J.& R.McLea, who do an extensive business with Newfoundland, a HeraLD reporter learned that the feeling in the trade was that this would be obtained from the Government, to whom representations have been made in the matter.It appears that the competition with the Tlnited States is very keen and any imposition on Newfoundland products here would produce retaliation in the Island and seriously interfere with the Canadian trade.Iu io alov uudcistood that Mr.W.W.Ogilvie, President of the Corn Exchange, has corresponded with the Government on the subject.A final answer is expected fzom Ottawa shortly.\u2014\u2014\u2014_pr COURT HOUSE ECHOES.Judge Doherty on a Lawyer\u2019s Right to be Heard\u2014An Important Railway Suit Compromised.A STRICT RULING.Yesterday morning, in the Practice Court, Mr.F.8.Maclennan presented a petition to be authorized to bring a suit in forma pauperis against a professional gentleman by a party lately io his employ for balance of salary.Judge Doherty on learning the object of the application inquired if the plaintiff was an old man.Mr, Maclennan\u2014He is vot, Your Honor; my client 18 à young*man and now in Court.His Honor\u2014I cannot entertain the idea of a young man asking leave to bring an action in forma pauperis.Mr.Maclennan\u2014If Your Honor will read the affidavite produced in support of my petition, you will see that I am within my rights.His Honor\u2014I am against actions in Jorma pauperis, and if your client, being a young man, canuot bring his suit in the ordinary way, 1 will not make a pauper of im.Mr.Maclennan\u2014The plaintiff has the best of reasons for not suing in the ordinary way.The plaintiff was not paid a cent wages by \u2018defendant for several months past, until plaintiff, iv consequence thereof, was sued by his boarding-house keeper for neariy $200 a few days ago.The affidavits in the record establish the plain- tit\u2019s rights, and I submit that [ have a right to be heard :n support of my petition and to ask that the documents of record be examined by the Court before a judgment 18 passed upon my application.His Honor refused to examine the affidavits or hear argument in support thereof, and intimated that he would not grant the petition, The matter will come up before the Court again and it will be interesting to know whether a petition of this kind, supported by a lengthy affidavit, can be die- missed without the Court examining the reccrd and hearing the statement of counsel.AN IMPORTANT RAILWAY SUIT.The suit of James Barry vs.the Canadian Pacific Railway was fixed for trial yesterday morning in tbe Superior

infractionsof the laws i.the past, and all new applicarts must sive clear and unmistakable evidence of the necessity of such a place as they propose to establish, In this view he was opposed by Judge Dugas, who said substantially that he would favor granting all the licenses where the applicants were respectable aud not opposed by a majority of the voters.The opposition in {he cases of Cleophas Milisonneueve and Joseph Bartlet, both of St.Jean Baptiste Village, was taken up.After the signatures had been verified the case was argued by counsel and taken en delibere.The matter of the petitiou of Mr.C.B.Dawson, to establish a hotel at the corner of Metcalfe and St.Catherine etreets, was taken up, Mr.R.D.McGibbon appearing as counsel for the petitioner, while Mr.Robert Smith appeared for the opposition.There were a large number of witnesses present who were examined by the opposition as to thegenuineness of the petitioner\u2019s list of names.During the examination of Dr.Alexander an

by BEETHOVEN AND HIS 80NGS.A Lecture by Mr.Joseph Gould\u2014A Crowded Hall and a Delighted Audience.Mr.Josei:h Gould delivered, last night, a very interesting lecture on Beethoven and his songs to a very large and highly appreciative audience in the Art Gallery, the Hon.Judge Mackay, President of the Art Association, in the chair.The lecture was mot, as might be expected, a learned dissertation on the works of the great composer Interesting to students of music only; buta well written and carefully prepared sketch of the life and character of Beethoven, to which all might listen with profit and enjoyment.The introduction was a eulogy on Beethoven a8 a musician, the place he occupied among composers and the character and variety of his works.The lecturers estimate of Beethoven is very high.He regards him as the first of composers.His superiority, he considers, 18 unquestioned.He is without a rival for the first place.His conceptions are pure, noble and elevated, and his style and treatment broad, stately and comprehensive, His works combine singular beauty and tenderness with dignity and grandeur.He is profound, yet simple.His compositions are of the greatest variety, oratorios, masses, overtures, concertos, sonatas, quartettes and trios and songs.Having given the audience hij estimate of Beethoven as a musical composer, the lecturer proceeded to speak of him as a man, The picture be drew, notwithstanding his evident desire to soften the shadows and to give prominence to the beauties of Beethoven's character was not an attractive one.He, with all his pains and his indulgence succeeded in showing that with this great genius as with many others, the treasure was hidden in an earthen vessel.In person Beethoven was the reverse of handsome, his stature was short, about five feet four inches, and he was disporportionally stout, his features were coarse, his head was large and shaggy.He did not make up in gentleness of disposition aud sofiness of manne what he lacked in physical beauty.He possessed some great virtues, but he took the greatest pains to conceal them: His manuer was brusque to rudeness and his temper was simply ungovernable.He was petulent and irascible and must have been most difficult to get along with.He was a man of sturdy independence and he knew his own value, but his self-assertion at times took the form of insolence.Mr.Gould gave instances of Lie manner with those with whom he associated and of his domestic habits which must have made the reflecting hearer wonder how such great strength could co-exist with such weakness, how such grandeur and such littleneds could be combined in the same character.But Beethoven was a man of paradoxes throughout.Although a musician of wonderful ekill he could not sing, and although he composed the most delightful music, music which is a marvel of elaborate harmony, bis hearing was from an early age defective.Beside the lecturer, on aa easel, was a portrait, life size, of the great composer, done in charcoal by Mr.R.Harris, from a likeness mn Mr.Gould\u2019s possession.It was spiritedly drawn and showed the massive bead, the capacious brow, and the rugged features of the man go graphically described by the lecturer.There was also a full length likeness of Beethoven, drawn by the same hand, a3 he appeared on the streets of Vienna.When the lecturer had concluded his biographical sketch of Beethoven, Le, after a few introductory remarks relative to theorigin aad the nature of Beethoven\u2019s songs, illustrated toe style of the king of composers by selections from those songs, Mr.Gould himself play - ing the accompaniment.Itis unnecessary to say that the songs were rendered with skil:, taste and feeling and that the audience were delighted.The following is the programme :\u2014 1.Sacrificial Song.(Opfer-Lied.) MR.MCLEAN.2.Know\u2019st thou the Land ?(Kennst du das Land ?) .Miss LUSHER.& Contrition.(Busslied.; MR.SABISTON.4 Merkenstein.[Merkenstein.} Miss LUSHER & Miss F.WHITE.5.Nature's Adoration.[Die Ehre

MR.SABISTON.The Scotch songs require a word of explanation.The original melody was retained ; Beethoven composed the instru- menial accomgpainment.The effect was delightful, and that it pleased the audience could eseily be seen by their rapturous and long-continued applause.A vote Jof thanks to the lecturer was moved by the Rev\u2019d Dr.Stevenson, seconded by Mr.J.Wolterstoa Thomas, and en- thnsiastically carried, _\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 T0-DAY\u2019S ELECTION.The 8truggle iv Drummond aad Arthabaska.The election for the representation of Drummond and Arthabaska in the Local House comes off to-day, and in view of the fact that the Riel question, which has been occupying the attention ot Parliament during allof this month, ie believed to be an imporiaut factor, consiaerable interest centre: in the result.Mr.Prefontaine, the Iudependent Couservative candidate, has already gone through au election in this constituency.At the last general election in 1881 he was defeated by Mr- Watts by 99 only.Mr.Girouard, the Liberal cannidate, 18 going through the ordeal for the first time.The friends of both candidates seem confident of victory, and it is generally believed thät the con \u2014 test will be a closa one, as both candidates have declared themselves opposed to the Riel execution.Meetings have been held almost .aily during the last few days, aud à large vumber ot politicians have visited ihe counties.Amung those muy b- men- y «cred Hon.Mersre.Talon, liyeou, Bluu- vhit, Beuubien, Mercier, Mezsrs, Dulaui , Stephene, M.PP, Lemieux, Sauvalle,

coming session next month.PE \u2014 AMUSEMENTS.Academy of fusie.JUDIO IN LA GRANDE DUCHESSE, \u2018l\u2019here was a full house last evening at the Academy of Music on the occasion of the second performance giveo by the Maurice Grau opera company.The opera selected, \u2018\u201cLa-Grande Duchesse,\u201d has long stood the test of critica in all countries, and has been admitted by all to be among the most successful ever composed by that prince of Parisiau vaudeville, Offer- bach.Among the whole range of Freuch opera there is prob.bly not another composition which is so well known aod familiar to Montrealers and especially to the French-Canadian portion of our population.Therefore ia selecting \u201c La Grande Duchesse,\u201d the company placed itself in a position to be judged by an audience the majority of whom bad already heard the opera giveu by the best French artists that have visited this city, at one time or another.More than this, several of its songs are sung in almost every house among our French- Canadian citizene, and the w hole opera 16 more or less known.It may as well be said at once that the judgment of the audience was a favorable one.\u2018I'he loud and enthusiastic applause which greeted the company at the end of each act, the ovations which were tendered t.Madame Judic, the roars of laughter called out by the incomparable Mezieres,\u2014all tuis fully testified that the audience appreciated their efforts and were pleased at the success obtained.It seems to be admitied that the company asa whole appeared to a much better advantage than on the opening night, for reasons wnich are obvious to all.Naturally the interest of the audience was centred in Madame Judic.Heralded as the queen & vaudeville, with a reputation which seldom falls to the lot of any artiste, much was expected of the charming diva.It is safe to say that none were disappointed.All were pleased and charmed at ths winning ways, sweet singing and consummate acting of the fascinating Parisienne.Judic has earned a well-decerved reputation, and has been crowned as peerless in her line by the most eminent judges of the art.That she deserves this reputation, that she is an artiste of a very high order none who saw and heard her last night will deny.At the most notable points of the performance she was loudly encored.In tact, she won the sympathies of the audience from the start, and kept it until the fall of the curtain.A person who once sees Judic feels an almost invincible desire to see her again, and many who were present last evening will return.Ae to the opera itself, it is known so well that it would be useless to attempt to describe it.In the second act Madame Judic appeared in a most gorgeous dress which fairly captivated the eye of the fair portion of the audience.Next to Madame Judic, but probably as great an artist in his own peculiar business, is Monsieur Mezieres, whose reputation is also soundly established.He is admitted to be without à superior on the French stage as an operatic comedian and he is losing none of bis fine powers.Indeed, if it were possible, he seems to have improved very much since he was last seen in Moutreal.M.Minart acheived a success as Fritz, and so did Mr.Ginet as Gen.Boum.Very little was required of the other members of the compaay besides chorus singing, and a8 a whole they were fairly succes: foi.The performance was all that could be expected aod will surely tend to draw full houses for the company during the rest of the week, The following was the cast: \u2014 Mme.Judie.La Grande Duchesse.Wander.Mile.Raymonde.ZA.Mille.De Witt.Amelia Mlle.Mirybel.Olga .Mlle.Dele-t.Charlotte, .Mlle.Caro.Nepomus.M.Dupuis Fritz.sesess0s nan 0 M.Minart \u2026.M.Cooper.M.Mezleres, .\u2026.M Ginet.M.Gregoir.Baron Puck.Gen.Boum .Baron Grog .Lords an Honor, Pages, Ushers, Soldiers, Vivandiers, and Country Girls.This evening Madame Judic and Company will appear in La Femme a Papa, an opera which scored an immense success in Paris, and which will certainly fill the house.Though the management have decided go far to have only one matinee,there seems to be a general desire existing that a matinee should be given tc-morrow afternoon.The management will, no doubt, consider the matter and grant the request 1f possible, Theatre Royal.At both performances of the Two Orphans, yesterday, Miss Pauline Markham received well-merited applause.Her acting is wonderfuily real, and at times she holds the audience spell-bound.Especially wag this the case in the attic scene, where she walks out of the door on to the platform, causing a skudder to run through the audience, as she seems s0 near the unprotected edge that a step further would cause her to fall over, This afternoon and evening \u201c Led Astray\u201d will be played, and on Thursday afternoon *\u201c The ady of Lyons\u201d will be put on.The managers, Messrs Sparrow & Jacobs, announced that the dresses worn by Miss Markham aud the ladies of her company were made by \u201cWoerth\u201d of Paris, and this will doubtless prove an extra attraction.Lyceum Fheatre.Lester and Allen\u2019s Big Minstrels had another crowded house last evening at this popular place of amusement.The reception that was tendered each part was certainly an enthusiastic cue, and loyaily did the performers respond, the songs and choruses being well rendered, * Sim Dempsey\u2019s Visit,\u201d by Messrs.Lester, Allan and Bush, being particularly weil received, * Al=ays take mother\u2019s advice,\u201d by Harry Howa:d, won for him several hands ani an encore.Messrs.Gorman and Webb, the acrobatic marvels, did a good act, io- troducing high pedestal and shoulder somersaults, while Senator Frank Bell brought down the bouse in his burlesque allusions to the Hon.Minister of the Interior, Mr, James McShane, junior, and other local celebrities, The champion of the world, J.L.Sullivan, in his antique, classic pictures, Greek and Roman Statuary, was received with a perfect storm of huzzas.He wus excellent and certainly appreciated, if the applause which followed each picture is to be taken for: any criterion, There will be a matinee to-day, for ladies and children, at 2.30 p.m.Remember that this afternoon and evening will be the last chance to see this great company and Joun L, Sullivan, champion of the world, io his celebrated representations «funcient and modern gtatuary, Jo Jo, the Ladies of the Court, Maids of dog face man, will appear with the _ any to-night, their last Performange, ickets at Nordheimer\u2019s.\u2019 Nordhoimer\u2019s Hall.The third cottage concert in aid of the hospitals came off last evening before a very fashionable audience, but owing to the great attractions elsewhere was.not ag large as the \u2018\u2018 cause,\u201d for which this pleasant concert was given, demanded.The performers being entirely gentlemen was rather unusual, but the frequent applause which greeted the different per- - formers shows that the rendering of the selections on the programme was of 8 high order.The entertainment ovened with a gong and chorue, \u2018\u201c Big Bells,\u201d with beil accompaniments, the solo by J G Monk being given m a very telling and artistic manner.G.R.Joseph gave The Coffee Pot Waltz of St.George\u2019s Club in his own inimitable.manner and received an encore.The banjo duet by J.G.Monk and A.Goyette was duly honored with an encore.The quartette singing of Spice lsles by Messrs.Pierce, Ross Shaw, and Cooper was rendered in an artistic style.The first art concluded with a comic song, en-: titled \u201cIt\u2019s English, You Know,\u201d in a way that showed the profession had lost one of its brightest stars in thie business ; he was encored, aod gave * The St.James Street Dude\u201d in & manner that reminds one of Vance, the great comic singer.The second part commenced with a song by C.H.St.Louis, 1n French, which showed off his fine voice to great adva.- tage ; he had to submit to an encore.D.McIntyre thea gave ibe recitation of \u201c Hank McGuffy\u2019 aad was duly encored; in response he gave ¢ Tne Man who bad à Claim\u201d in a most amusirg ma ner.Then came one of the best bite of the eve.- ing, \u201cThe Lass\u2019 Farewell,\u201d by Mussr-.(reighton, Shaw, R.P.Adams aud Doucet.It wasa most tender and dehgui- ful rendering aud was re-lemanded.Mr.W.Creighton gave \u201cDing Doug\u201d very nicely.R.J.Rss thea recited \u201c Banty Tim\u201d in a spirited and jocular veil, and had to respoud to an encore.Mr.G.R.Joseph gave the comic song * The Frenchman \u201d ju character, true to Tite, and kept the audience in roars of laughter the whole of the time he was oo the stage.Then came * My little side door \u201d in character, taken by Mr.Chas.Pierce, assisted by the whole party in chorus, acd was received with rapturous applause.The Instrumental Quartette followed in the \u201c Mockiag Bird,\u201d rendered in a very effective manner, the coneere concluding with \u201cGod Save the Queen.\u201d Thus ended one of the moat pleasing concerts that has been given in Montreal this season.Praise is due to W.L.Young as stage manager, and W.J.Drayn-r as accompanist on the piano during the evening.HOTEL ARRIVALS.WINDSOR HOTEL, L.H.Hamilton, Quebec; Joseph A .Massue, St.Anne: He H.Molyneux, England; A.White, .Read,
