Pree mier and Opposition Leader\u2014A New Opposition Leader Looming Up.[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.} QUEBEC, Jan.24, The case of Hon.Mr.McShane recently disqualified has just opened the eyes of our law-makers to the fact that they cannot be too careful in their legislation.Here is to al] intents a seat vacant, because the sitting member is disqualified, and yet there is no provision in the election law declaring the seat vacant.Had Mr.McShane the right of appeal, he could take his seat before the Appeal Court had given 8 decision.But there is no right of appeal, even in the Quebec election law, as is the case with the Ontario and the Dominion Acts.All that canbe done now in the case, 80 as not to leave so important a constituency as Montreal Centre unrepresented in the Legislature longer than possible, is what the Premier suggested yesterday, and which was unanimously agreed upon, viz., to refer the report of the judge who tried the Laprairie case to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, for that committee to decide upon the proper procedure to be followed, declaring the seat vacant and ordering the Speaker to issue new writs.Both Messrs.Flynn and Lynch were of opinion that there was no room to doubt that the seat was vacant.To thisthe Premier replied that he knew there was a vacancy, but why did not the law sey so.The Opposition members replied that it was not necessary that it should doso.The law declared who could and who could not sit in the House, and that covered all the circumstances of Mr.McShane\u2019s case.They also contended that the fact that Mr.McShane was wrangly described in the judgment, as Minister of Crown Lands was of no importance, as he was sufficiently designated to leave, no doubt that he was the party.After regrets for Mr.McShane\u2019s position had been expressed by both sides of the house, the whole matter was sent to the Committee on Privilgges and Elections to report back to the House as quickly as possible.It is said a report will be made at an early date, declaring the seat vacant.The defects in the election law will be remedied at once, and very likely a bill will be passed this session giving the right of appeal to unseated candidates.The House as a whole is in favour of this point, but dead against any retroactive measure.The passing of the District Magistrates\u2019 bill called out a wordy duel between Hon.Mr.Taillon and the Premier.The former, who is possessed of a good deal of sharp repartee and caustic speech, went on to twit the Cabinet with saying in the Speech from the Throne that the act to be introduced, was the same as that vetoed last year, but he contended that it was an entirely new measure, and so modified that it was possible it would not be disallowed this time.After comparing both the acts and pointing \u2018out the changes, he charged the Government with deceiving fhe public for political ends.The responsibility of the constitutional part of the measure he threw on the Government, and then went on to charge the Premier, as reported in that so-called \u201cindependent\u201d paper, the Star, with trying to raise sectional feeling in the Province, when at a public meeting during the Lepine-Poirier election in East Montreal, he said the Magistrates bill had been vetoed at Ottawa because enacted by the French Canadians and the Catholic Province of Quebec.The Premier returned back in vigourous tern 8 the arguments of Mr.Taillon.He denied that there was any material change in the new bill, except in a fow minor details, and comparing the acts clearly demonstrated this to the House.The changes have been made necessary in consequence of the Circuit Court having no longer jurisdiction in appealable cases.After speaking on the constitutional point for some time, defining the powers of the Local Legislatures concerning the judiciary, he went after the Star with a big club.He denounced it as a most unscrupulous sheet, its aim sensationalism and untruth, with no independence, honour or principle.The Chief of the Opposition\u2019s opinion and statements were to be respected, because they were those of an bonest man, and he was respectable authority, but no sane person could say the same for the Star, or for even Le Monde and La Minerve.This slap at the sensation papers was enjoyed by every one except a few members who, while the \u201cStar's scribe was away, were engaged faking down the premiers words.Mr.Chase Casgrain followed the premier and combatted the arguments of Mr, Mercier in the constitutionality of the Act, and made a capital speech, which was most attentively listened to.In fact, Casgrain is fast coming to the front as 8 leader in the Conservative ranks.He is a bulldog in debate, hanging on with pertenacity to hjs point, though flayed on all sides.He is a ready debater, a good all-round man on any sab- Ject, but especially on law.He is a law er \u2014\u2014 a mt Che sHoniteal Tterald MONTREAL.SATURDAY.JANUARY.26.1889.professor of Laval.It would be strange if he did not shine among the cobwebs of Bills on Bills.There is the usual crop of- amendments to the Civil Code this session.No ons but a lawyer will know anything of the code very soon if this repeated tinkering is carried on.A halt should be made somewhere, The big anti-English howl which the Tory press tried to kindle out of the few words of the Hon.Provincial Secretary, in the debate on the new Land License Laws, had a set back to-night, when the hon.gentleman rose.and in a frank and manly way explained his position, giving expression nofgonly of his own esteem for Hon.Mr.Lynch, but for English Protestants, among whom he had lived for years, aud some of whom he counted among his warmest aud most steadfast friends, socially and politically.This, he also announced, was the feeling of every member of the Cabinet towards the English Protestant minority.He denounced the Opposition press for shamelessly putting a construction on his words he did not intend or feel.It was hardly necessary for Mr.Gagnon to give so full an explanation; true Liberal English Protestants know that there was no more loyal sup- perter of Hon.Mr.Joly than he, and that he bas always been a defender of their rights when they wanted one to defend tem.As to the Gazette's good authority for the report of what occurred in the caucus, he must be the same as fires off over the wires from Ottawa and Montreal such terrible accounts of the doings of public men and corporate bodies in those cities.There was no censuring of anyone, and no resignations called for or received, .There was some difference of opinion about the Insane Asylum contracts, but after mutual consideration a policy was decided upon.The Premier intends to welcome Albani in his private capacity as a gentleman and fellow-countryman and will offer her that hospitality he is renowned for, and which she as his distinguished contrywoman is worthy of.Any official public reception in the House was never thought of by him, but she will be welcomed as a \u201cQueen of song\u201d by all, given a place on the floor of the House, and will certainly have as hearty a private welcome as any lady could desire.Quesec, Jan.25.The Speaker took the chair at 3.30 pm.After routine and the presentation of reports from committees, Hon.Mr.Du- hamel introduced the resolutions accompanying the bill for the protection of forests from fires.These provide for the payment of the forest rangers out of the receipts from those permitted to cut timber by the Commissioner of Crown Lands on foresty reserves.There is to be no addition to the present staff of forest rangers, a8 the Government believe the new duties can be covered by those now in the employ of the Government.The adjourned debate on concurrence in committee of the whole, on amendments on the bill amending the law relative to public lands, was next taken up.Hon.Mr.Flynn, continuing his speech, gave a thorough resume of the acts of the previous administrations, demonstrating, from his point of view, that the contemplated changes were detrimental to the settler and more in favour of the lumbermen.He continued speaking to six o'clock, when the House took recess.} AFTER RECESS, Hon.Mr.Gagnon announced that the Cabinet had received from the Minister of Justice at Ottawa word that several acts passed last session, among others the Jesuit estates bill, had been sanctioned, and would become law.Hon.Mr.Flynn then continued his speech on the public lands bill.He corrected certain errors made in I\u2019 Electeur, and went on to contend that the old laws were preferable to those now sought to be made law.He quoted La Verite, a Nationalist organ, which demanded the abolition of the thirty months\u2019 clause, and favoured the amendment of the member for Richmond, (Mr.Picard).He protested strongly against the aecusations that the Conservative party were the enemies of the settlers, on the contrary, Conservative Governments had always had in view the best interest of the settlers and the colonization of the country.He concluded an able speech by saying that if the projected law was passed by the House, it would eertainly not meet the approval of the citizens of the province.Hon.Mr.Duhamel followed, but his voice is so weak that it was impossible to catch more than an impor- fect idea of his argument in favour of his bill.He was understood to say that if the settlers\u2019 condition was ameliorated by it, it was owing to the action of the present Government, and denied that the Opposition ever acted for the benefit of the settlers or helped to colonize the Province, which possessed acres upon acres of the finest farming land in the Dominion.He said that during Mr.Lynch\u2019s administration forty lots had been refused to settlers.Mr.Lynch asked if he stated this on his own knowledge.Mr.Duhamel\u2014\u201cYes, I do.\u201d Mr.Lynch\u2014\u201cThen later on you'll have an opportunity to prove your statement to the House.\u201d After the hon.gentleman had concluded, Mr.McIntosh, M.P.for Compton, rose and said the question was of great importance to all concerned.He claimed that the old reserve forestry laws had not prevented the settlement of the Eastern Townships where there was a large number of .French Canadian settlers.It was not the poor settler who could go in and cut down a large tract of timber, but therich man.The clauses cf the act were leaving the door open to lumber speculators to go in and slash down the forésts which would afterwards be almost useless for settlement.He maintained that the hon.commissioner had said nothing in favor of the obnoxious clause giving the licensee 30 months to strip the timber off the lot, to the injury and loss of the poor settler.It was laws like this that were yearly driving the young French Canadians and old courtrymen to the United States to work in factories, instead of cultivating their own country.He strongly repudiated the remarks of the bon, Provincial Secretary in dragging into the question national and religious feeling, and resented \u2018it because he knew it was not the gen- timents of the members of the House or the people of the country.He trusted the members would look at the question in à practical manner, irrespective of party or nationality, and vote against the sub-amendment and tor the amendment of the member tor Richmond and Wolfe.Mr.Rochon followed in support of the Government's bill, which, he said, was already giving satisfaction to both the settlers and lumber merchants in his county, and the present amendments would be even more of an improvement.Mr.Poupore replied denying the former speakers statements, and said, as a practical lumberman, that the bill was not in favour of the poor settlers, and, as he represented a county wheres the majority were poor struggling settlers, he was more than interested in seeing that their interests were protected against lumbermen or others.He pointed out that last session he had strenuously opposed the bill, which he considered afforded no protection to the lumber industry, but was surprised to find that when the bill went to the upper chamber, the lumbermen\u2019s friends were able io got them protection, which was altogether impracticable and notin the interests of the settler.He cited the journals of the House to show that in 1883 he was in favour of protecting the settlers in their rights to their lots and the timber .on them, and he contended that all ths settlers were satisfied with the law of 1883, but the present law was condemned by all.Before concluding he also repudiated the sentiments of the Hon.Mr.Gagnon.He wound up by affirmins tbat the lumberm an was the best friend of the poor settlers.On the motion of Mr.Bernatchez, the debate was adjourned until Tuesday at 3 p-m.The House then adjourned at 11.30 p.m.until Monday.FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL.Lake Vessels\u2014The Consequence of Une seaworthy Ships Being Allowed\u2014 Plimsoll Load Line Recommended.(SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, ) Orrawa, Jan.25\u2014Mr.Dawson, M.P.for Algoma, is here urging the Government to make provision for the safety of lake vessels.He says: \u201cMany of the vessels that run on the lakes are mere tubs, and it is not fair to people who put on good vessels that they should be allowed.Something will have to be done, for owners of unseaworthy vessels will run their craft as long as they are able.We Lope to get the Government to introduce a measure that will put a stop to it.You see, when a tug is towing one of these vessels and astorm arises, the tug has to cut loose, for her own safety.Well, the ether vessel is perhaps not properly provided with sails, anchors and gear of that kind, in case of difficulty.What we say is that no vessel should be allowed to go out unless well provided with anchors, sails, ropes, and all appliances to enable her to act independently when thrown upon her own resources.There have not been so many losses this year, on account of the mild weather, but a few years ago it was simply frightful.The inspection, which goes on under the Government, is amending things somewhat, but still something more is wanted.The rule should be that a vessel should have the Plimsoll mark, beyond which she should not be allowed to load in the fall of the year.Some people hold that any kind of a vessel might be sent out & the lakes, but seaworthy vessels are needed there just as much as on the Atlantic.\u201d Owing to the absence of Sir John Thompson from Ottawa, the interview between the Government and the Maritime Province delegates, in regard to the short Jine railway matter, did not take place to-day.ce FROM THE

oppressive laws, such as are absolutely certain to produce objectionable acts on the part of some Irishmen, the fewness of which I only.wonder at and feel thankful for.NOW IS OSMAN DIGNA\u2019S CHANCE.The Last of the Redcoats Left Suakim.SUAKIM, Jan.25.\u2014The last of the British treops sailed to-day for Suez.The post remains in charge of an Egyptian overnor, with a mixed Egyptian and black garrison.There is great excitement over the departure of the British.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 GUESSES ON THE STANLEY CONUNDRUM.Mysterious Hints by Lendon Journals.LoxnoN, Jan.24\u2014There are more daily rumors about Stanley, which are discussed and then promptly denied the next day.To a disinterested person the tcne of injury and exasperation with which the journalsspeak of the African explorer would be ludicrous were the \u2018subject of less importance, but the anxiety concerning Stanley\u2019s whereabouts overweighs trifling considerations, and the expressions of people and press are only natural.It is undeniable that the greatest concern still exists, which the alleged letter to Tippoo Tib has rather increased than allayed.Some of the London journals utter mysterious hints that they know more than they dare divulge.Some appear to be afraid that the oracular hints of the others are true, and in the meanwhile the general public ig disposed to anathematize both them and the King of the Belgians, who is supposed to have received letters which he will not give to the world.Those most likely to know the truth of the matter do not believe that His Majesty is any better informed than the least of his subjects, and it is probable tbat men like Mr.MacKinnon, of the East African Company, would be included among the first recipients of any news from Stanley.In the meantime all the exploded scandals about the intrepid explorer are being revamped.He is charitably included among those whom African travel has rendered subject to the mania which bas attacked so many, who have felt themselves unable to keep away for any length of time from the Dark Continent after once having felt its weird fascinations, and it is binted that, as no white man who ever started with him for the interior has ever lived to contradict Stanley\u2019s assertions as to his wanderings and discovery, so it will be found that none of his present Caucasian associates will ever return with cr without him.; The German and French papers accuse in no measured terms the English Government of concealing information which it has received concerning the expedition, really undertaken with its assistance, as they do not hesitate to say, and they call for some explanation of the affair.Representations to the contrary have not satisfied them, and, in despair of being unable to force the hand of the Premier, they demand that his Belgian Majesty shall be made to divulge what he knows.One feature which renders the report of Emin Bey\u2019s victory over the Mahdi doubly welcome is that, if the news be true, it was in all probability due to reinforcements and arms that he must have obtained from Stanley.THE PARNELL COMMISSION.Reading Old Speeches\u2014All or None\u2014 Sir Harry James zets Tired, LonnoN, Jan.25.\u2014At the hearing Lefore the Parnell Commission yesterday Captain Slack traced outrages in Ireland to the League and to the inflamed language of Irish members of the House of Commons, priests and other leaders.The League practically assumed the government of tha country and encouraged outrages.There was no abnormal distress in his district.He thought outrages would not have occurred had they not been instigated by the League.cross-examination Captain Slack said that as a rule the Irish leaders did not denounce outrages, but there might have been exceptions.Ingpector Rogers deposed that he had searched the house of Miss Mary O\u2019Con- nor, the secretary of the Ladies\u2019 Land League at Athlone, and found several letters from Mrs.Anna Parnell with reference to the formation of a ladies\u2019 branch for the relief of evictod tenants.Miss O'Connor's accounts disclosed expenditures for the relief of prisoners charged with outrages.Sir Henry James here announced that he intended to read extracts from speeches produced in court.Sir Charles Russell said that he wanted all of Mr.Parnell\u2019s speeches read and not extracts, Justice Hannen, seeing that Sir Henry James had a pile of speeches before him a foot high, entreated the counseFto consider how to shorten the reading of them.It would take many days to read them SUBSCRIPTION $6.00 PER ANNUM all, he said, and what would be the ad- vaniage ?Sir Henry James proceeded to read extracts from a speech by Mr.Biggar in October, 1880.Mr.said he would not have extracts.He was anxious to hear the whole speech, which was well worth reading.(Laughter.) Sir Charles Russell emphasized Mr.Biggar\u2019s desire, and Sir Henry James was compelled to accede.; After reading for some time his voice failed, and he was courteously relieved by Mr.Leckwood, of the Parnellite counsel, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A DUEL OVER BOULANGER.Preparing a Coup D\u2019Etat.Panis, Jan.25.\u2014A duel was fought today between M.Cornudet, member of the Chamber of Deputies for the Department of the Creuse.and M.Chabrouil- laud, editor of a newspaper.The latter gentleman was wounded.The duel was the result of a quarrel growing out of the candidacy of General Boulanger.La France says that the ordinary gar- \u2018isons in and about Paris are being replaced by troops that are known to ba devoted to tke Republic.It is asserted that the police are preparing to

paid twenty-seven times over his liabilities to the depositors of the Glasgow Bank, had a telling effect on his election.Nevertheless, it was due more to the stand he took on the Home Rule question, and also to the labour vote, that he was put at the head of the poll with such a crushing majority.Although Mr.Wilson is a Protestant, yet the Irish Catholics will have in him a zealous defender of their cause.Being so, would it not be a good political stroke of us in Montreal West to shake hands with Govan, and elect here the son of 80 worthy a sire for the Quebec Parliament ?Such a graceful act on our part would show to the English people that we fully appreciate the compliment Govan has paid to our cause, and therefore we reciprocate, I am satisfied that our Knights of Labour would willingly accept here our Mr.Wilson.It is true they lose \u2018the people's Jimmy,\u201d but they would get in exchange the workingman\u2019s Jimmy, and where would be the difference?Did he not, after receiving a first-class education, work a couple of years at a trade in orde; to perfect himself for the vocation he was to embrace?Yes, I repeat it, the Knights of Labour can claim him as one of their own.If Montreal West can prevail on him to accept the mandate, being widely known for his integrity and independence of character, he would be willingly accepted by both political parties.By this move the Irish people of Montreal would do more for the cause of home rule than thousands of O'Donovan Rossa\u2019s have done so far.Thanking you, Mr.Editor, for your valuable space, I remain yours truly, HoME RULE.Montreal, Jan.23rd, 1889, When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorta, When che was à Child, eho cried for Castoria, When sho became Miss, abs clang to Caatoria, When abe had

Navy, BLOW TO ENGLAND'S NAVAL SUPREMACY.He Only Wants the Keely Motor, Harrrorp, Conn, Jan.25.\u2014Dr.Gatling, the inventor of the Gatling machine gun, said yesterday: I have devised a torpedo boat, which I regard as more effective and certain in action than any heretofore invented.With it any ironclad seeking to enter our harbor, or coming to anchor, for instance, in the lower bay of New York, could be quickly and easily destroyed.My boat will be propelled by steam, and will approach an ironclad bow on, presenting the least surface to the guns ot the ship, and will be so protected that the shots fired at her will have no effect.1 resort for the destruction of a hostile vessel to the nse of high explosives such as nitro-gelatine, dynamite, etc.My system may be generally described as that of \u2018controlled terpedoes,\u201d which are under the absolute control of the officers on the boat until the instant of explosion.My plan will drive a torpedo through any net or other protection an ironclad may have and place it at the desired point for explosion.In a short time shall be prepared to give to the public a detailed description of my plans, and I am satisfied that the simplicity and economy of the system will be seen at once as well as its efficiency.\u201d a BUILDING UP A NAVY.The Guns Delaying Its Construction.\u2018WasHINGTON, Jan.25.\u2014In its report upon the Naval Appropriation bill the House Committeejon Naval Affairs says : \u201c With regard to a new navy Congress seems to have settled upon a policy of appropriating towards its construction about $6,000,000 per annum.Your committee believe that this will build up a navy as fast as prudence dictates.Our Navy Department and our ship-builders are utilizing, as far as may be by every means in their power, the knowledge acquired from the costly experience of other nations, but they must acquire experience of their own.Too great haste on the part of the Government would inevitably result in confusion and waste, and most probably in combination instead of competition among shipbuilders.\u201cBesides it would be an easy matter in this country to build ships more rapidly than we cduld supply them with armament of domestic manufacture.Even in England, with all their facilities, there is loud complaint that the government and all their contractors are unable to supply guns as they are wanted.The manufacture of \u2018a modern high power gun is not only an expensixe, } «t a slow and tedious process.\u201d : Satisfactory progress is being made by the private contractors for supplying heavy gun and armor piate forgings and for rapid fire machine guns, and say the committee, \u2018\u2018it will be seen that Congress, by the passage ofthe bill we re- rort will have taken the last step neces- tary to render the government abso- utely indeperdent of the world in the matter of building and equipping a navy.\u201d -\u2014 REVENGE FOLLOWED QUICKLY.A Fiendish Murderer Shot Down, CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan.25.\u2014Near Fay- etteville, about noon yesterday, Bill Brewington, a desperate negro, was strolling about Wade\u2019s Station.In the little village lived an aged lady, Miss Charity McAllister, her nephew, Alexander McAllister, and a young lady relative.Seeing no man near the house Brewington entered with an axe concealed under his coat.He had heard that Miss McAllister kept $400 in money there.Laying his weapon down in a convenient place he walked through one room and closed the door behind him.Meeting Miss McAllister and the young lady, he said : } \u201cYoung lady, stand still.Don't attempt to leave or give any alarm; if you do, instant death will follow.\u201d He then grasped Miss McAllister by the hands and commanded her to give him the key to her trunk, but she screamed.The negro dragged her to the door, where he had left bis axe, and picking it up, he cleft her head open.The young lady who was compelled to stand by and witness the crime, fainted.\u2018While both lay upon the floor, Brewing ton ransacked the house, but found no money.He was about to assault the insensible young lady when footsteps were heard and he ran out through the backyard to the woods.The old lady\u2019s nephew had come home, and when he opened the door he beheld the ghastly spectacle.Through the window he caught a glimpse of the negro, fast running into the woods.Without waiting a moment McAllister seized his gun and started in pursuit.Soon the news of the fearful tragedy spread, and in a few minutes a dozen indignant citizens were on the fiend\u2019s track.He was headed off within about two hours and his body riddled with bullets.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 EXCITING \u201cSTILL\u201d HUNTING.A Battle with the Moonshiners.CoruMera, S.C., Jan.25.\u2014In the mountains in the upper section of this State illicit distilling 18 rapidly increasing, and the moonshiners, who for the last few years have been meekly accepting arrest when a revenue officer happened to corral them, are in arms again.The election of Harrison, with visions of \u201cfree whiskey,\u201d is believed to account for much of this lawless movement.On Tuesday morning a raiding party, consisting of five revenue officers, led by Deputy Marshal Frank High- tower, left Greenville on av expedition into the Moonshiner section.Un Tuesday night they destroyed a still near Panther Mountain.They then spotted another on Pruitt Mountain, five miles off, but before entering it the party was fired on by twenty-five or thirty men, who came out of the woods nearby.Nobody was hurt, and the attacking party not repeating the volley the fire was not returned.About daylight this \u2018morning while the posse was on their way bome they were again fired on, and the fire was returned.Officer Hightower was shot in the knee, and on» moonshiner was captured.a 2 THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, SATURDAY.JANUARY.26 SESSION OF PARLIAMENT The DAILY HERALD will

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TrE HERALD OFFICER, Friday Evening, Jan.25, 1889.Montreal Stock Market.The total trading to-day amounted to 300 shares, principally Montreal Telegraph and Canadian Pacific.Beside the extreme dullness, there was a weaker feeling in the market, with the exception of Richelieu and Canadian Pacific, which were stronger.Telegraph sold off # point to 89, the bulk of the sales being at this price, and if the writ, which has been held over the shareholders for a long time, issues, still lower prices may be looked for.But many of those interested do not give much weight to these threats.Richelieu was firiner with a sale of 50 shares at 563, 100 shares Canadian Pacific were sold at 522, a gain of à point over late sales Bank stocks were very dull, the sales only amounting to 2 shares Bank of Montreal at at 225} and 2 at 2253, also 1 share Merchants at 136}.Commerce firm but neglected at 117% to 1183.Cotton stocks were neglected, but\u2019prices are

busiest sections of the city, at the busiest time ofday ; stillno onesawher.She disappeared as completely as ifshe had vanished into thin air.Her distracted friends raised the hue and cry ; the police, stimulated by offers of liberal reward, scoured the city and state, but no Gertie.Then came the old time whisper\u2014a lover -\u2014to the surprise of several men friends, all respectable young men.The search then dragged and a rumour got abroad that it was not well to hunt too much or search too deeply for her.The birds, Whotell tales now say that that afternoon an hour before the Cunard steamer sailed from Fast Boston a young and bandsome man boarded the steamer with a veiled figure leaning on his arm, whom he said was a sick sister going abroad for her health.During the voyage she never left her stateroom, and some gay European capital may yet un- 1avel a mystery that the very thought of pains many a heart in Boston to-day.A blue-eyed buxom maiden of Brock- ton a year ago walked out of her father\u2019s house to go to the Post Office.A friend saw her in a New York depot the next morning with a stranger.\u2018Every meal L.s chair is put up to the table at her home as if she was still among them, signifying the belief of her grief-stricken parents that she will yet return, but the days go by slowly, and no L.yet.Lizzie Harper, living in Chelsea, and Emma Van Dwan, residing in the Highlands, both within a week of each other, left home to go to church.Both failed to reach their destination, and have never been seen since.Miss Harper was seen on the church steps talking to a messenger boy, but what became of her still causes her lone mother nightly ts weep herself to sleep.Rachael Elliott went out of her class room in the High schonl to go to the toilet room, over a year ago.The toilet room, class, teachers, companions nor home have seen her since.She left her bat and wraps behind her.Estille Howard, a sales girl went out from Ler store to a carriage in front of the door by request one day.A fellow clerk saw the door of the cab open and Estille step into it, and since then she bas been as dead to her family and friends.Besides these and others, thereis asad array of instances occurring among the army of young women who are constantly flowing into Boston from Canada or the rural districts in search of employment, Many su:ceed, some fail and return home, wlile others less sensitive or particulardrift into that great throng of girls whatoil not, neither do they spin.They hid their identity in a great city; are lost nore completely than in a grave, and this accounts for a major part of the missing nysteries.In fat, so common have they become that the public have cause to Tegard tle missing notices as interesting, and in most instances, except when the victim is bighly connected, the daily journals pay no attention to the police reports.There iz a manifest cause for-this, It is being aknowledged that in most of these cages \u2018he girls havesimply changed their identity to escape exposure in the profession they have adopted, and it is a direct outcome ot a system that has for its motive the prevention of such.There is 8 nomore orderly city in the Republic than soston.Its public institutions are a shdter for all the unfortunates.None need really suffer, yet such exist The cause is plain.The fundamenal principle underlying society here, and which is also the keynete in New England educations, is that the sexes are equal in meal capabilities.From infancy the \u2018girl is taught to be independent of and the equal of man.The result is her tastes are inclined to be masculine.She -contends for the social freedom of man as well as the intellectual freedom.Her womanly instincts are buried by the idea of what is \u201csauce for the goose is sauce fr the gander,\u201d and vice versa.Her ideas of -onversation and behaviour are guided aDC measured by a masculine rule.*Wiy can\u2019 she smoke, keep late hours and'iesipate ?\u201d The answer is \u201cTry as well 18 \u2018why,\u2019 and she does try.In real ober truth, one-half of the women in Befon, who live lives of open or secret thame virtually believe

?THE CALEDONIAN SOCIETY Celebrates the Anniversary of Scot land\u2019s National Bard.The Caledonian Society of Montreal did honour to itself by the enthusiastic manner in which it celebrated the birthday of Burns at the Athletic Club House last evening.About eight o'clock, sleighs left Dominion square, and other parts of the city, heavily laden with the members of the society and friends.The president, Mr.Wm, Rutherford, occupied the chair and was accompanied to the platform by Rev.Professor J.Clark, Murray, Rev.J.Edgar Hill Messrs, J.H.Redfern, President St.George's Society; D.Barry, President St.Patrick\u2019s Soclety; F.S.MacLennan, Chief Clan Maclennan, Wm.McGibbon and A.B.Stewart.The proceedings commenced with the entry of the President and guests, headed by Pipers Matheson, Clarke and Riddell.The President made a few happy remarks in keeping with the occasion.Mr.J.R.Bain put a good deal of vim into his numbers, which were well received.Miss Mabel McGavin is always popular, and her appearance and readings last aven- ing added to Ler reputation.Mr.D.Robertson is a humorist.He possesses the faculty of making his sudience appreciate his songs.the features cf the evening was the performance of the Mandolin and Guitar Club, whose numbers were exceedingly well executed.Mr.8.G.Bain wasin excellent voice and sang \u201cScots Wha' Hae\u201d in Lis usual characteristic style, waich surred up the audience to a high itch of enthusiasm.Miss Isabel lacpherson gave her numbers very pleasingly.Miss Bell Ross was also successful in her songs.Mr.Geo.Luck- hurst; also gave two recitations in capital style.After singing \u201cAuld Lang Syne\u201d and \u201cGod Save the Queen,\u201d the concert was brought to a close.Refreshments baving been partaken of, dancing was commenced and kept up with much vigor until the early hours of this morning.Much of the success of the celebration was due to the excellent arrangements made And carried out by the committee, which was composed of Messrs.J.M.Campbell (chairman), Wm.Rutherford, A.B.Stewart, D.Guthrie, Archibald Watt, W.Grey, jr, W.A.Morrison, W.Rutherford, jr., and D.Ayton.The floor committee were Messrs.Arch.Watt, W.Rutherford, jr., and D.Ayton.Young's orchestra supplied excellent music for the occasion.During the evening the Rev.Prof.Clark Murray delivered an eloquent oration on the Scottish national poet, Robert Burns.CARNIVAL NOTES.No less than three committees met at the Windsor Hotel last evening, a large number of various members being present.At the Ice Palace Committee the contractors reported everything going on as well as could be expected.The walls which had fallen down a short time since, owing to the rain, had been rebuilt.At the Fancy Drive Committee a deputation representing the farmers were present and promised to supply several old-fashioned sleighs besides some very handsome ones.The offer was accepted.A letter was also read from \u201c Big John\u201d saying that he would bring the boat he ran the rapids with on New Year's Day and a band of Indians dressed in \u2018 war paint\u2019 to form his guard of honor to the same.This offer was also accepted.The question of the route was discussed, and it seems more than likely that the procession will after all go through St.James street?At the Executive Committee good progress was reported by the voluntary collectors, but a hope was expressed that those who had promised subscriptions would kindly forward them to the secretary.A letter was read from the St.George's Snowshoe Club announcing that on the Tuesday evening in Carnival week.they would have a grand illumination at their club house, in honor of their brethren in arms from Winnipeg, and that their fancy drive feature would be second to none.Mr.Gauthier, chairman of the Fancy Drive, submitted the plans, etes of the various cars submitted by the different clubs, which proved very satisfactory.e THE RIVER.Another change bas taken place in the condition of the river,and at an early hour this morning it was steadily, but slowly rising.At the Craig street pumping station the water was twelve feet above summer level, while it registered eleven feet nine inches in the sewers.The pumps at both stations were working for all they were worth.At Lachine the water is five feet higher than it was this time last year, and was steadily rising at an early hour this morning.Local shoves occurred about midnight above Victoria bridge.DEPUTY CHIEF NARGELF, Deputy Chief Naegele, who has been ill for several weeks past, and who has been gradually failing since, was reported very low last night.The last rites of the Church were administered in the early morning.If the Deputy Chief should be called away the Police Department will loose a valuable officer, who has served it well and faithfully.TO AND FRO.T.Lavinde, Dr.Reynolds, New York; Alex.Jackson, Galt; H.Pelham Clinton, Swift Current; H.J.Cambric, Vancouver;

address, gave an outline of the work done by the Society and its objects.He was followed by the secretary, who read his annual report, showing that the year just closed had been an eventful one in the history of the Montreal branch of the Aliiance, The time of the officers had been greatly taken up in preparing far the late conference which had proved such a great suc- ceee.It urged the necessity of all the church-going people joining the Alliance, which was destined to be of immense service in promoting union amongst the churches and conserving the liberties of old.A guarantee fund had been started by a few gentlemen and subscriptions to the amount of 3450 for three years had been promised.The report also called upon all church-goers to aid in placing the organization on a thorough working basis.The treasurer's report was then read, which showed the total income to have been $80.95 and the expenditure $81.55, with outside liabilities of $50.60.The Revs.Dr.Vergin, of New York, and Dr.Jackson, of Galt, Ont., delivered elognent addresses on the working of the society.The meeting closed with the singing of the Doxology.\u2014__\u2014.CORRESPONDENCE.28 Communications to THE

\u201cat the banquet on Wednesday evening, among others that of Mr.Van Horne; as I was really tired out before his time arrived.His remarks were sensible and practical, and I cheerfully endorse his views.I have still a considerable interest in real estate in Montreal, and will gladly bear my proportion of the expense for the purposes he indicates.I do not by any means agree in all things with the C.P.R., but the management has shown enterprise and a regard for Montreal which ought to awaken an adequate response from the city.Yours, etc, Freperic Kay.- Montreal, Jan.25, 1889, Alps climbers

and it has been their wish all along to cultivate such relations.The policy of the Canadian Pacific Company as regards the extension of its lines to various parts of the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, has been made use of to create the impression that a feeling of hostility exists.There can be nothing else to indicate any thing of the kind, because the Canadian Pacific Company has carefully refrained from any opposition to any of the projects of the Grand Trunk Company, or interference with its legislation or its financial operations; and it cannot be charged that it has, where competing with the Grand Trunk for traffic, acted in any but the most neighbourly and honourable manner, or that it has not at all times shown a strong desire to co-operate in.the maintenance of proper rates, and to guard against the abuses which have elsewhere resulted trom competition.Indeed, since the beginning of the competition between the two companies, disturbances in their rates other than those resulting from outside causes, beyond their control, have been exceedingly rare.The wholesale cutting of rates and the other evils growing out of fierce competition, which have brought many of the neighbouring American lines to the very of bank- ruptey, have been almost unknown between .these two companies; and it is safe to say that nowhere else in America are rates more uniformly maintained, and nowhers is the public better satisfied.It can only be, therefore, the territoria policy of the Canadian Pacific Company that can be pointed to as indicating a feeling of hostility on its part: and in order that its policy in that respect may be understood, I am desired by the directors to say that from the inception of their enterprise it was apparent that the main line of their railway must depend largely upon the traflic between the great Province of Ontario and the Canadian Northwest and the Pacific Coast for its support, Ontario being, in point of traffic, equal to all the rest of the Dominion ; that, in fact, this traffic was absolutely necessary to the success of the enterprise ; that the Grand Trunk Railway could not be depended upon to bring this traffic to the Canadian Pacific, because its interests would bear heavily in the ' direction of its much longer haul to Chicago; that nothing short of an exclusive arrangement with the Grand Trunk covering this traffic would be of any practical use ; that even if the Grand Trunk were to ignore its many important connections at Chicago, and enter into an exclusive arrangement with the Canadian Pacific, the power of these connections to divert from the Grand Trunk a vastly greater traffic would not admit of the hope of the long continuance of such an arrangement; that at best, as experience everywhere has proved, mutual interest only could be depended upon for the satisfactory working and permanency of such traffic arrangements, and the mutual interest did not and could not exist in this case; that even with the strongest agreement that could be made, the vast capital to be invested in the main line of the Canadian Pacific must remain at the mercy of the Grand Trunk Company, for without the Ontario traffic, the Canadian Pacific could not have existed during its earlier years; that the most carefully drawn agreement could not afford adequate protection, because in case of the wilful diversion of this traffic from the Canadian Pacific, it might be seriously crippled before it could secure its rights through the slow processes of law.It would have been unwise in the extreme to have left the enormous interests of its shareholders in such a perilous position, and therefore, impelled by the force of circumstances, and not in the slightest degree by hostility towards the Grand Trunk Company, the Canadian Pacific turned its attention to the provision of such lines and connections in Ontario, as would effectually make these interests secure by the time the main raps-continental line should be com- 1Jeted.The unfriendly and even hostile spirit displayed\\by the Grand Trunk Company from the very beginning, gave additional foree to the reasons which actuated the Canadian Pacific Company in deciding upon this course.À connection with the Great Western Railway of Canada, whose lines reached pearly every important place in the Ontario peninsula, naturally became the \u2014 .ln mette first object of the Company, but the first step in that direction was met by the Absorption of the Great Western by the Grand Trunk.The Midland system and other independent railways were also absorbed as quickly as possible.Whether any of these lines were absorbed for the profit of the Grand Trunk, or only for the purpose of heading off the Canadian Pacific, at any cost, may possibly be determined by an examination of the subsequent results of their working ; and the result of such examination will probably be found to apply equally well to the more recent absorption of the Northern and North-Western Railways.Que step on the part of the Canadian Pacific towards independence involved another, until, in 1882, its present Ontario system was planned.It may easily be seen that in planning such a system, it was most important, while keeping the main object in view, to so arrange the lines that they might draw to their support the traffic from as many sources as possible ; because as feeders only of the main line they could not in themselves be profitable.: \u2018The local lines west of Toronto, in order to be worked with advantage and profit, had to be connected with Montreal ; and with the additional object of bringing an important district within reach of the Canadian Pacific, the line from Toronto to Smith\u2019s Falls was made; and subsequently the rapid growth of traffic made necessary the extension of this line directly to Montreal, and to avoid the great loss in distance in the detour by the way of Ottawa.The Canadian Pacific, quite early in its history, and in order to ensure its connections with the Atlantic seaboard, had acquired the control of certain lines south of the St.Lawrence River and east of Montreal This involved the construction of a bridge across the St.Lawrence\u2014the Grand Trunk bridge being difficult of access and insufficient for the additional traffic.In establishing its connections with the seaboard, connections were incidentally made with the great manufacturing cities of Northern and Central New England.Recently, but pursuant to a long matured plan, the Canadian Pacific has been extended across the State of Maine to a connection with the railway system of the Maritime Provinces of Canada\u2014an extension demanded in the public interest as well as in the interest of this company.There is a large traffic between these provinces and Western Ontario, making local conneciions in Ontario doubly important.The traffic between the New England States and Chicago and farther west is very large and profitable; but while reaching it most advantageously at the east, the Canadian Pacific has been unable to carry it for want of independent connections at the west.The only break in connections is between London, Ontario and the Detroit River\u2014110 miles \u2014and on the closing of this gap the full use of no less than eighteen hundred miles of the company\u2019s lines east of it depends.Whether or not the comparative short line necessary to the closing of this gap must be made in the vicinity of the two existing lines, the gap must be closed.Itgimportance can hardly be over-estimated.Ît will enable the Canadian Pacific at once to share in a traffic almost as important as any in America and from which it is now effectually debarred.In the hope of avoiding the construction of a new line, attempts were made to secure rights of user or equivalent rights over that of the Grand Trunk ; but these efforts were unsuccess- ful\u2014conditions in no wise relating to the question having been named by the Grand Trunk at a time when the Canadian Pacific had already delayed its work to the utmost limit of prudence, and could delay it no longer without the loss of another season.It is difficult, if not impossible, for any one at a distance and not familiar with all the conditions surrounding such a complicated question as that of the joint use of a section of 110 miles of railway, by two companies in active competition for the same traffic, to judge of the reasonableness or unreasonableness of either party ; but the directors of this company are convinced that every reasonable effort was made on its part; and, in their opinion, a careful reading of the recently published correspondence between the officers of the two companies, clearly proves that only the question of rental stood in the way of an agreement up to the time the negotiations were brought to an end by the introduction of the foreign conditions before mentioned.One of these conditions was that the Canadian Pacific should discontinue the carriage by its own line of its through freight traffic between Torônto and other \u2018Western Ontario points and all the territory reached by its main line west of North Bay, and yield all of this traffic to the Grand Trunk for carriage over its shorter line between Toronto and North Bay, on terms to be settled by arbitration.The Canadian Pacific had offered, independently of any other question and in a neighbourly spirit, to permit the Grand Trunk to carry this traffic over its short line at the estimated cost of its carriage over its own longer line.Whether or not this offer was based on a correct estimate of the cost, it should be remembered that the Grand Trunk had no claim whatever upon the traffic and that the Canadian Pacific was satisfied to continue its carriage at the rates proposed.A proposal to submit a question to arbitration usually carries with it an impression of fairness ; but there are questions which are not proper subjects for arbitration.One party in the legitimate enjoyment of a business cannot reasonably be asked to submit to arbitration the terms upon which it shall be surrendered to a competitor.The company has not been unwilling at any time to arrange this traffic matter with the Grand Trunk, independontly of other questions.Indeed, it has been so arranged quite recently.The other condition was that the Grand Trunk should have the right of user over the Sault Ste.Marie branch of the Canadian Pacific ; but while, without a knowledge of all the circumstances, a proposal to exchange rights of user seems fair and proper, there is a wide difference between the question of the joint use of the Grand Trunk line between London and Detroit, and the Canadian Pacific line between Sudbury and Sault Ste.Marie.In the one case the line has a double track, in greater part, and its use to the owner is certain to be largely diminished upon the completion of the Sarnia Tunnel.In the other, the line is a new one, with but a single track, and promises to have almost immediately all the traffic it can conveniently carry.The Canadian Pacific Was in a position to make immediate use of tbe Grand Trunk line and to commence at once the payment of the rental and its proportion of the cost of maintenance and of the other expenses to be borne jointly.The Grand Trunk, on the other hand, was 100 miles away from the nearest point of connection with the Sault Ste.Marie line, bad taken no step towards covering the intervening space, would bave to go hundreds of miles beyond Sault Ste.Marie to find a railway free to interchange traffic with it, and Children Crv for Pitc GREAT ASSESSMENT SYSTEM.REDUCTION IN THE COST OF LIFE INSURAN CE!

but it should not be overlooked that the extension of the Canadian Pacific to the Detroit River is a direct consequence of the absorption of the Great Western Railway by the Grand Trunk.And it may not be out of place, as illustrating this policy of absorption so industriously pursued by the Grand Trunk for the past seven years, to refer to the purchase by that company of the North Shore Railway between Montreal and Quebec for no other possible purpose than to keep the Canadian Pacific out of Quebec,\u2014the Grand Trunk Company having already a line of its own between the two cities,\u2014a purchase which was only relinquished after provision had been made by the Government upon the demand of the public for the construction of a third line.Whether or not the recent absorption of the Northern and Northwestern railways by the Grand Trank will involve the construction by the Canadian Pacific of a line of its own, between Toronto and Sudbury, will depend entirely upon the policy of the Grand Trunk in regard to Ontario traffic to and from the Canadian Northwest.The Canadian Pacific Company has no desire to make this line and will not do so unless it should become absolutely necessary to the protection of its interests.- The directors of this company feel that the results have fully justified the policy they have pursued in reference to auxiliary lines, and they believe that without these lines the Canadian Pacific could not possibly have reached its present strong position.They believe, too, that in bat one case, where the company has already acquired lines or undertaken the construction of lines of its own, could the lines of the Grand Trunk Company have been made use of without great disadvantage.The only case in which the joint use of a section of the Grand Trunk Railway seemed either expedient or practicable was that of the line between London and Detroit, \u2018 The company has in no important particular deviated from the policy and plans decided upon in 1882.These plans lack but little of completion.How soon they shall be completed, and whether they shall be completed in full, must depend upon circumstances; but in carrying them out the directors will be happy, as they would have been in the past, to utilize as far as possible, phe lines or other facilities of existing railways, if that can be done without the sacrifice of efficiency or independence.'I'hey have no desire to injure the property of their neighbour, or to incur any avoidable capital expenditure.The directors beg leave to point out that so much as may have been unsatisfactory in the experience of the Grand Trunk Company in the past three or four years must be attributed to other causes than Canadian Pacific competition ; for they have reason to believe that at nearly all competing points the earnings of the Grand Trunk have been larger than before this competition began, excluding, of course, the accident of bad crops.The impetus given to trade and manufactures by the advent of the Canadian Pacific has resulted in a profitable traffic for itself and an increased traffic for its neighbour.The directors wish further to say that next to the prosperity of their own railway, their is nothing that intelligent self- interest woulid lead them so earnestly to desire as the prosperity of the Grank Trunk.I have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, Wx.C.Vax Horxg, President.ALEx.Le SECRETAN, Esq., Acting Secretary for Shareholders, Lon- on.nr A Business Letter.Tilsonburg, March 15th, 1887, T.Milburn & Co., Sirs \u2014 Please ship at once three dozen B.B.Bitters.Bestselling medicine in the shop.Sold seven bottles to-day.Yours truly, C.Thompson.The above sample is but one of hundreds of similar expressions regarding B.B.B.\u2014œ__ Private weather observers in Massachusetts and Connecticut have been examining their records to find a parallel for the current winter.One observer in Milton unsuccessfully hunted backed 40 years.A Windsor (Conn.) man\u2019s memory takes him to the winter of 1815-16, which e says was exceptionally mild.*Dandelions were in bloom all winter, pond bly leaves took the place of ice in the } onds, while the boys longed in vain for skating and went bare-footed on sunny ays.The following summer was fully 8 memorable, there being snow storms which killed all the crops out of ground.The corn was twice destroyed.Snow- + qualls were not infrequent that season, and in the autumn the harvests made a poor showing, her's Castoria.En TE te beso NEW ADVERTISEMENTS: ALES AND LIQUORS.SE \".2!

New Yorg, Jan.24th.\u2018* Macbeth\u201d is in the air on both sides of the Atlantic, Shakespeare's great tragedy broke out at the Fifth Avenue Theatre on Monday evening last.Curiosity has been deeply stimulated for several weeks past owing in part to immense show bills placarded over the city to the effect that Mrs.Langtry would appear in our midst, clad in the garb of Lady Macbeth, and using her words as dictated by the master bard.Well, she came, and before the footlights on Monday night she surprised even her enemies.She built better than anticipated, and the result is that we have a Lady Macbeth in the Lilly that has conceived the character with intelligence and gives some real meaning to the pregnant lines.Mrs.Langtry looks the tragic queen.This is unquestionably the best work the actress has ever done, and, all things considered, will improve from day to day.The work ha: some meaning and force; her postures are fitting, while every attitude expresses what the author wished to convey.Mrs.Langtry is exceedingly happy in the sleep-walking scene, it is realistic to a degree.In her declamatory scenes, the lady was at times strong, using her voice with nice discrimination.Mrs.Lang- try\u2019s costumes are correct and in excellent taste.They fit her, and she seems at home iu them.Mr, Chas.Coghlan as Macbeth did not evoke the qualities with which the great character is endowed.His reading is thoughful and intelligent.fle knows whereof he speaks, but he is cold, not seeming to be able physically to express what mentally the world knows that the fine actor knows, To give symbolic expression to the traits of character is what we look for on the stage, Mr.Coghlan\u2019s interpretation of the Thane is not the accepted one.As Shakespeare is an open book and as every thinking mind must agree that certain words mean certain ideas, one cannot accept even so fine an actor's theories as those of Mr.Coghlan to the upsetting of long established opinions.Still the performance now occurring nightly at the Fifth Avenue Theatre is praiseworthy and interesting, and there is no doubt that it will be viewed and enjoyed by thousands of men and women who gather together to witness the development of dramatic art, as well as to see the show, FRAU LILLI LEHMANN is the magnate of the Metropolitan Opera House at present, and is liable to so con- tinue throughout the entire opera season.The grand prima-donna comes back in splendid voice.It is delightful indeed to listen to her full, velvety and powerful tones, and her polished method.Frau Lehmann made her bow hefore a most enthusiastic audience the other evening in her well-known impersonation of the Jewess, Halevy\u2019s masterpiece.The prima- donna\u2019s use of dramatic device was everywhere felt in the role, as was her keeping in tune during the entire performance.La Juive is put upon the stage with that attention to detail which is 80 characteristic of Mr.Stanton\u2019s managerial skill.Herr Perratti sings Eleazar with fine voice and with much compass and strength.Herr Alvary sings and acts Leopold most satisfactorily, and Herr Fischer as the Cardinal is excellent.The lights are kept turned up in the auditorium.The supporters of the opera\u2019 refuse to sit in darkness during the performance, no matter whether the historical effect requires it or not.LILLIAN RUSSELL is at the Casino in spite of J.C.Duff's injunction, and when the fair queen of opera bouffe came in front of the well- packed house a perfect shower of roses and orchid's greeted her.\u201cNadjy\u201d is the operetta, and airy Lillian assumes the role of the Princess Etell:a.She sings with abundant spirit, and the patrons of the Moorish temple Bow know the real melodies of the \u201ccatchy\u201d work.With one other exception, that of Mr.John Brand displacing Mark Smith, the cast'is the same as ever.The scenery is bright and new, so are the costnmes.\u2018 Nadjy\u201d wag taken off in the height of its prosperity to make way for \u201cThe Yeoman of the Guard.\u201d I cannot say as mnch of Messrs.Gilbert and Sullivan\u2019s last endeavor.NOTES THEATRICAL.The Madison Square theatre is doing a tremendous business.\u2018Captain Swift\u201d is crowding tbe house at every performance, and since the return to the original\u2014the suicide of the hero\u2014the well constructed play has pleased the universe.It follows that when a dramatic hero is ready to kill himself, the audience know it, and will not be satisfied unless the deed is accomplished.In other words, an anti-climax deteriorates the ending of a drama.\u201cSweet Lavender\u201d continues at the Lyceum Theatre, and from present pros- cts will run the season through.\u201cLittle ord Fountleroy \u201d crowds the big and handsome Broadway.Vast auviences of women and children never tire of listening and witnessing the phenomenal performances of the children who alteraa- tively take the title role.THE OYSTER BAY PILOT, in an editorial regarding Kitty Cody's sad death, remarks: \u2014'\"The Pilot has time and again urged upon the homes in our midst that early provision shoald be made whereby the children, and especially the girls would willingly remain * with the parents during the dark hours of the evening, For any girl to make herself conspicuous by walking up and down our streets unattended when the night comes on, gives no substantial promise of a pure and virtuous future.And yet there are those in our village who (bright and promising girls they are, too) may be-seen anywhere from 7 o'clock to 10 listlessly wandering hither and thither, without a single member of the family accompanying them.Parents keep your daughters out of our public streets during the night

G.T.R, ACCIDENT.Further Testimony Relating to the Matter.RAILWAY MEN HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.The inquest in connection with the recent accident on the Grand Trunk Railway was continued yesterday.r.Jules Monarque was the first witness examined, and said in substance ; that both semaphores at the time of the accident were in accordance with the company\u2019s rules and regulations.It witness\u2019 opinion Atkinson had never disobeyed orders.I never found Atkinson under the influence of liquor.The weather was very clear on the day of the accident, and any one could easily see the semaphores for themselves.Both semaphores may be lowered down at the sametime if so desired, but in this case it would invariably cause accident.At the time of the accident in question I alone had charge of the lever, and know that they were working properly.Tomy personal knowledge Atkinson always stopped his engine before coming to the bridge in question.I do no believe that Atkinson did stop his engine at the remaphore on the day of the accident, for, had he done so, the disaster would have been averted.The engine, however, might have slipped, which would account tor the accidemt.To my knowledge, engines on other occasions have slipped, and ean do so from two feet to three bundred feet, according to their speed.This fact is particularly noticeable in fall and winter.A train in passing the bridge in question may take from five to fifteen minutes.On that night it took about five minutes.No trains are allowed over the bridge until such time as we are satisfied everything is all right.At night time the lamp from the engine must be seen be- tore the semaphore is lowered, while in day time the same is not done until the train is in sight.When the weather is foggy, a man crosses the bridge on foot to ascertain if the same is clear or not before allowing a train to enter.A passenger train, as a rule, takes less time than a freight train to cross the bridge.On this occasion it is possible the engine might have slipped from the semaphore to the bridge.Mr.James Murdock, conductor in the employ of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, was the next witness examined, and said that on Tuesday night the day of the accident, he was on board engine No.186 from Point St.Charles to Montreal, in the capacity of a passenger.He took no notice of the semaphores.The train did not stop at the semaphore until the time that it collided with the Delaware & Hudson train, but the speed of the train was then being considerably reduced.A train generally crossed the bridge at the rate of four to five miles an hour.Just before the collision occurred he notified the \u201cboys\u201d to be on the lookout, as he knew the collision to be inevitable, as both trains were then hardly one car and a half in length from each other.Just as the engine he was on came close to the semaphore he remarked to Atkinson that he was then going pretty lively.Atkinson at onee reversed his engine, but it did not seem to act, probably oy- ing to the light snow which was then on the track.The engine pursued its course with the result already known.He jumped from the engine before the collision occurred.The only man who remained on it was Atkinson, and it was a rigky job for himto do so.He helped the injured after the disaster, and was aware of the full particulars of the accident.If their engine had stopped at the semaphore, the accident would have been averted.On the day in question the fireman had also applied his brakes from the tender, but as they appearad not to work imperfectly, Atkinson proceeded to reverse his engine, which h : did with all haste possible, Engines ar; always examined before going on duty but could not state whether or not tha engine was examined on the day of tha accident.It was outside of his jurisdiction.The wheels of the engine stopped revolving but slid right along, In witness\u2019 opinion Atkinson complied with the company\u2019s regulations, and he did all that he could to stop his engine.Witness was aware that the trottle valve of engine No.186 had opened on previous occasions after Atkinson had closed it.He did not observe that this happened upon the occasion in question.The Delaware & Hudson train at the time of the collision had the right of track.The next witness examined was Mr.Samuel C.McNeil, locomotive foreman at Point St.Charles.He had charge of all the engines running to and from Point St.Charles.The engineers were also under his control.Engineers in charge of an engine were in duty bound to examine for themselves all engines under their control, and report any defects detected.Engine No.186 was\u2019 in a working order when it left the shops at Point St.Charles on the day of the accident.The throttle valve might fly right up when an engine was reversed, if the regulator handle was not properly secured.They had two means to secure a regulator so as to prevent it from flying open\u2014one was a set screw, the other was a pin which could be placed in a hole known as the \u201cregulating guide,\u201d \u2014and it was the engineer's duty to use these if he so required them.An engine running at the rate of about six miles an hour could easily be stopped within sixty feet.Had the best of confidence in Atkinson\u2019s abilities as an engineer, and knew him for fully ten years as a trustworthy employee.Witness attributed the cause of the accident to reck- less running and not observing the semaphore in time: Ea- gine No.186, on the day of the accident must have been running at the speed of twelve to fifteen miles an hour before reaching the semaphore.According to the Company\u2019s rules and regulations a train must always stop at the semaphore.This concluded the proceedings for the day, and the hearing of the case was further adjourned to Monday afternoon at two o'clock, when more evidence will be heard.KICKED BY A HORSE.A Lady is Run Over and Badly Disfigured.St.Catherine street was yesterday afternoon the scene of another serious accident owing to furious driviug.Whil crossing the street mentioned at the corner of St.Christophe Mrs.Cayley, of No 1272 Ontario street, was run over by a carters horse

his apparatus, but it had been made away with before they arrived.The accused was further remanded for examination.LADIES\u2019 AID SOCIETY.The Ladies\u2019 Aid Society, in connection with the Methodist Church, Point St.Charles, gave a very successful entertainment last evening.Refreshments were served about 7 o\u2019clock, and after they had been done fuil justice to, the participants

in municipal taxes, unless thq same is absolutely needed.Mr.Savignac also favors the best drainage system, and promises, if elected, to attempt to ameliorate matters at the City Hall \u2014_\u2014r REPORTED OUTRAGE Upon a Lady With Serious Effects.News was received here last evening from St.Guillaume d\u2019Upton to the effect that that village had during the day been the zcene of a disgraceful crime.Although the particulars of the affair were very meagre, it was ascertained that a well known lady of the locality had, during the early part of the day, while alone in her house, been criminally assaulted by a well known character, who, it is alleged, was captured last night after a most desperate struggle.Justice of the Peace Dessert, of that locality, last evening proceeded to the house in question and took the lady\u2019s deposition.At last account the victim was dying.THE GUARANTEE COMPANY.Annual Meeting of Shareholders Yesterday.The annual meeting of the sharehold¥ ers

clergy, but by men of all creeds and nationalities, who turned out to pay the last respects to the memory of one who was popular and highly esteemed by people of all classes in Point St.Charles.This

Valubles THR VICTIM IN A PRECARIOUS CONDITION A well known citizeæ of this city, in the person of Mr.John McVey, was last evening the victim of a most brutal attack, accompanied by highway robbery.During the early part of the night he]was proceeding along St.Paul street, in the vicinity of Bonsecours markef, when on passing near a gateway, he was seized by two individuals, who at once gagged him, and forced him to accompany them to Commissioners street, where they ill-used their victim in a most brutal way.They called upon Mr.McVey to hold up his hands and to give up all his valuables in default of which he would pay dear for his resistance.Despite the warning given, McVey resisted for all he was worth, and a hard struggle ensued between the (ric.While attempting to escape, McVey was violently thrown to the ground, where he was on two or three occasions struck with a blunt instrument about the heal and face which knocked him insensible for a time.When he recovered he struggled violently and left his marks on his assailants.It was no use however, for before they left him they had robbed their victim of his watch, chain, and all tne other valuables he had about him, and then left him in an unconscious condition and bleeding profusely.When picked up by some citizens, Mr.McVey was at once conveyed to the Notre Dame Hospital, where the House Surgeon dressed him and gave him some stimulants.This done, Mr.McVey was taken in a cab to the Central Police Station, where he entrusted his case to Chief Detective Cullen.Accompanied by Detectives Barrett and Proulx, the former proceeded to investigate, and suc- cceded in capturing two parties in the persons of Fred Dragon and Ernest St.Jean, who were taken to the station and booked under suspicion of being implicated in the case.The accused denied the charges, and none of the valuables were found on their person.The accused will be heard this morning before the Police Court.Af an early hour this morning, it was ascertained that Mr.McVey, who had been taken to his home, and was in a very precarious condition, and his physician feared complications.A PLEASANT GATHERING At the Forresters\u2019 Hall\u2014Mr.Perry Gets a Pleasant Surprise.Mr.E.T.Perry is a popular and respected member of various societies, but among none is he more popular than ths Forresters.Mr.Perry has been fer many years a Forrester and takes a lively interest in the order generally.He evinced this in a practical way on the 16th of last May when he organized a Court.This one, Court Réliance; has more than fulfilled the expectations of its organizer, Mr.Perry, and now numbers 110 members and forms one of the most promising courts in Montreal district.Some time ago Court Reliance paid a fraternal visit to Court Unity and were most hospitably received.Last night they decided to reciprocate, and in consequence there was quite a gathering of Forrestersin the ball on Place d\u2019Armes.The brethern of Reliance decided to take the opportunity of the festive occasion to spring a pleasing surprise upon Mr.Perry.They did so by presenting him with a costly Aud handsome gold chain and seal em blamatic of the Order.The presentation was made in eloquent and suitable terms by Mr, Clendinneng who presided and took Mr.Perry quite by surprise.So much go that he was unable to respond with his accustomed eloquence.\u201d However, he expressed the great pride he felt at the mark of/ the brethren\u2019s appréciation of his services.Among the gentlemen from other lodges who attended to witness the presentation were Brothers Hobson and Grace Court Allan\u2019s Pride ; Bros.Field, Brown and Stobby, Court St.Jude: Bros.Brownell, Cochrane and Edwards, Court Mt.Royal, and a large number of For- resters, with their wives, their nephews, their sisters and their aunts, who all had à jolly time.During the evening Messrs.Hunt, Brown, Hillman, Lewis, and Mesdames Traquair and Clark, helped to pass the time by giving recitations, songs, ete.The gathering dispersed at a late hour, all unanimous that they wouid \u201ccome again\u201d when they had another chance.ABOUT THE COURTS.Judgments in Appeal-Other Items Picked Up.Judgments were given in appeal yesterday, His Honour Chief Justice Sir A.A.Dorion presiding.In the case of the Ontario Bank, appellant, and Chapin, respondent, the decision of the court below was sustained.In the case of Gilman, appellant, and Gilbert, respondent, the decision of the court below was reversed.Thibaudeau, appellant, and Bennery, respondent ; the decision of the court below was reversed, Judges Doherty and Cross dissenting.The judgment of the Court below in the case of the National Assurance Company, and Harris respondent, was confirmed with costs.Judgment was likewise confirmed in the two cases of the Beauharnois Junction Company and Bergeoin and the the same company and Henault.Brisson vs.Goyette and McShane, mis en cause.Yesterday before the full bench, Mr.J.J.Curran, QC., presented a motion for a rule against the Clerk of Appeals, ordering him to issue a writ of appeal on behalf of Mr.McShane from the judgment of disqualification recently pronounced against him by the Court of Review.The Clerk had refused to issue the writ, basing his refusal on Sec.90 of the Quebec Controverted Election Act.Mr.Curran contended that the Contro- \u2018verted Election Act had nothing to do with the action, which arose under the Quebec Election Act.The right of appeal existed under the Civil Code.The Judgment was susceptible to appeal.Sec.274 of tbe last mentioned Act made no reference to the right of appeal being taken away.The judgment had been rendered by the wrong tribunal without authority and was bad, but that would come up on its merits.His present contention wus that the right of appeal existed.Mr.Trenholm, Q.C, followed in the same line of argument.Hon.Mr.Lacoste, Q.C., strenuously op d the motion.The Chief Justice said that as the point was a novel one and of great importance, it would be taken en delibere and judgment rendered on Wednesday next.The Bailiffs Association have bad a notice posted at the Court House to the eflect that each bailiff shail hereafter keep a register in.which he must enter full details and particulars of all sales made by him, and also keep a record of every other judicial proceeding entrusted to his care.Judge Ouimet, sitting in the Circuit Court, has decided that the stamps affixed to documents of the late Magistrates Court, can be used in the Circuit Court, end that the Attorney General's instructions to that effect must stand good.An (xceplion a la forme in this ground was rejected by the Court.The last will and testament of the late Dame Anne McElwaine, in her lifetime wife of the late Mr.Wm.Jordan, merchant of Halifax, was admitted to probate this morning.The deceased lady gives all ber property to her children, Annie Louisa Fairie, Frances Amelia Cunningham, Florence Augusta Archibald and Rev.L.H.Jordan, and appoints the latter and Mrs.Fairie as her executors.Judge Jette yesterday declined to grant a writ of certiorari in the Alliance minor cases.He held that Judge Dugas bad full jurisdiction, and that he had administered the law in accordance with its spirit and the principles of common law.\\ Mr.Lebourveau announced this decision in the Police Court, whereupon Mr.Dugas thanked him, and dismissed the six remaining cases before the court.An order has been obtained in the matter of the Briton Medical and Gan- eral Life Association authorizing the distribution of the assets according to she reports of the liquidator filed in Court here, and confirming the judgment rendered in Ontario in the same sens\u201d, so that if no opposition is made the distribution will take place the first week in February.SOCIAL AND DRAMATIC CLUB.The members of the above club, under the direction of Mrs.Buckland, gave a dramatig performance last night at the Victoria Armoury.The proceeds of the entertainment were understood to be devoted to benevolent purposes.The large hall at the Armoury was filled with a fashionable audience, whose satisfaction with the performance of the two pieces which were presented appeared to be unqualified, Before the curtain went up Mr.Roswell Fisher, for the managing committee, explained to the audience that owing to the unavoidable absence of Mr.J.D.Prentice, who had been called away from Montreal at the last moment, his part in the second iece haï been taken at short notice by r, J.MacGillycuddy.He also told the audience that the members of the company were desirous of expressing their gratitude to Mrs.Buckland for the assistance and coaching which they had received from her, and he paid what we have, no doubt, was a justly deserved compliment, very neatly, by saying that whatever merit the audience might be leased to find in the performance was argely due to the experience, ability and assistance of Mrs.Buckland\u2014or words to that effect.The following was the caste of the two pieces played : LES ERREURS DE JEAN.M.de Beauseant.Mr.C.L.Bgsse Le Capitaine Tancrede.Mr.J.T.Ostell Jean (Domestique).Mr.L.Galarneau Madame de Beauseant., Mlle.Lamothe Eliza (Femme de Chambre).Mlie, Branchaud TO OBLIGE BENSON, Mr.Benson (a Barrister).Mr.Roswell Fisher Mr, Trotter Southdown (his frienq) .ceseszieasscaisansseenes.ME L.Galarneau Mr.John Meredith (Benson\u2019s Pupil) \u2014 recenass0te 00e.ero0 0100000 J, MacGillycuddy Mrs, Trotter Southdown.Miss Wheeler Mrs.Benson.Miss Branchaud The music was provided by Mr.Gruen- walds orchestra.It will be seen that one piece was French and the other English, and that some members of the society appeared in both.It may be added that they showed themselves equally capable in either language.In Les Erreurs de Jean, Mr.L.Galarneau performed the part of the erroneous serving man with considerable ability and knowledge of stage business.From his performance of this part the-audience were able easily enough to anticipate the ability with which Mr, Trotter Southdown, in the familiar To Oblige Benson, would be played; and they were not disappointed in their expectations.Mr.C.L.Bosse and Mr.J.T.Ostell played the parts of M.De Beau- seant and Le Capitaine Tancrede with more of that ease so requisite for draw- ing-room scenes than is usually seen in amateur actors.Madame de Beauseant was gracefully impersonated by Mdlle.Lamothe, and Eliza (a femme de chambre) by Mile.Branchaud, who both in this part and in that of Mrs.Benson in the second piece, evinced a delicate appreciation of the situations and, particularly as Mrs.Benson, a womanly sympathy with the difficult position in which an act of indiscretion had placed a faithful wife.Miss.Wheeler played Mrs.Trotter fouthdown with an excellence not often attained by lady amateurs, and must not only have profited by Mrs, Buckland\u2019s experience, but must.have had some of her own.Mr.Benson was played by Mr.Roswell Fisher.We don\u2019t know whether he has ever played it at other than amateur performances, but he might have done so with credit to himself.The management may be congratulated on having been able to secure at the last moment so conscientious a representative of Mr, Meredith as Mr.Macgillycuddy proved.In the general stage management it was not difficult to gee that an experienced hand had been at work, and we may express the hope that Mrs.Buckland may find other calls upen her by the same friends at a not too distant date.-\u2014 - When is the Real Estate Sale ?On Tuesday next, 29th instant.Where?In the Long Room, Mechanics\u2019 Hall.What hour ?Ten o'clock a.m.Read Advertisement.\u2014\u2014_%#

no less than four timos, Campbell, Scott and Barlow doing the neediul.; In changing ends the Lachine boys woke up considerably and gave the Vic\u2019s backs all they could do for a time, but were unable to score.Just before time another goal was scored for the Vics out of a scrimmage, making the score 5 to 0.F.Fairbanks, for Lachine, J.Campbell and E.Barlow worked hard for their teams.Players

Natural Gas.KATÉ CASTLETON.On Monday night bonny Kate Castleton will make her fitst bow after an absence of four years to the patrons of the Academy.She has not been.here since she was seen as the central figure of Mr, E E.Rize\u2019s burlesque Pap.Ste was.then surrounded by a memorable company of merrymakers.John Mackay, Irene Perry, George Fortescue, &c., all made big successes but all their efforts were drowned by merry \u201cXKate\u2019s\u201d inimitable singing of For goodness sake don\u2019t say I told you,so, though aistranger to some she will probably have a very familiar greeting.In the past three years Miss Castleton has made a respectable fortune out of a farce comedy of the popular American pattern called Crazy Patch, but has now made a big stride toward the legitimate in her new play A Paper Doll, with which she will undoubtedly renew her popularity in Montreal.The latter piece is an English importation and is rather light comedy, than farce, rewritten of course to suit the American public.Report speaks highly of the supporting company, Mr.Peter Daily, Miss Ada Deaves, Mr.Bert Coote, Mr.Bridgland and Miss Bebe Nining being the more important.Theatre Royal.Mrs.McKee Rankin has had a good week at this popular place of amusement.She gives two performances today, and all who wish to see a really sterling play should pay the Royal à visit either this afternoon or evening.WE, US & CO.That side-splitting farce will hold the boards next week.Speaking of it, an exchange says : Mn W.A.Mestayer and Mr.Charles Bernard, who are responsible for the production of the play, skillfully avoided the least suspicion of a plot other than the little that was of course necessary to serve as a centre around which the eharacters revolve ; but they certainly succeeded in stringing together a lot of nonsense that cannot fail but bring smiles to the gravest.As this was the object aimed at, they certainly deserve full eredit for having so thoroughly succeeded in their intentions.To say that We, Us & Co.is funny but half expresses the true criticism ot the play, and viewed in its proper sphere it stands pre-emi- nent, for there has been nothing of its kind yetseen in this city that can compare with iv without suffering much by comparison.To criticise the performers individually would also be invidious, for each excels his own peculiar style.The \u201cmake-up\u201d of Mr.Walter Jones appears to be overdone, but he is so good an actor that one overlooks this after he has been on the stage two or three times.Mr.C.J.Williams is of course very fanny.Tbe music introduced is well selected, and what is more, is well sung.The play bas the merit of originality, for which credit must be given.It succeeds in affording opportunities for the actors, and there it stops, just as its authors intended it should.The absence of anything in the dialogue \u2018or situations that is the least jot objective to the most refined is a feature ofthe play, made more notic- able by its too frequent appearance in pieces of the same order.\u201cWe, Us & Co.\u201d is a bright musical melange, extremely nonsensical and ridiculously absurd, but so full of pure, wholesome humour that \u2018standing room only\u201d should greet everyone who seeks an entrance into the theatre after the rise of the curtain.\u2014New York News.The
