Workmen in a Lard Refinery Fall Victims to the Flames.THE MYST:RY OF THE LOST MONEY BAG.Exciting Hunt for a Depraved Scoundrel, TERRIBLE FIRE IN A REFINERY.Serious Loss of Life and Great Destruc: tion of Property.New York, April 19.\u2014Late this afternoon a fire broke out in the immense lard refinery of the W.J.Wilcox company, one of the largest concerns in the country.The building occupied a whole block, bounded by Eleventh avenue, Fifty-ninth street, Sixtieth street and Hudson River.It was five stories high, and every floor was full of oil and lard.One hundred and fifty hands were at work at the time, A moment aftr the discovery of the fire flames were pouring from every window, and the next moment a huge sheet of flame covered the scene, and burning lard melted and came out in blazing streams, stopping up the entrance.The workmen found themselves pent in and escape became almost impossible.Heroic efforts were made to find a way out of the dense smoke and flame for the imprisoned workmen, and the great body of them were rescued by ladders and over the roof.A number of them, however, became panic-stricken and jumped from tbe windows.Four men who jumped from the Eleventh avenue side of the building were picked up in a mangled condition, dead.Henry Benning jumped from the third story; his back was broken.Another man is said by the police to have been killed ; name unknown.The injured are Jas.Brown, dangerously wounded about the head and internally ; Jobn Johnson, badly injured; unknown man also injured by jumping from a window, The cattle in the Union Stock Yards, near by, were wild with excitement and were gotten out with difficulty.Later the grain elevator of the New York Central Railroad Company caught fire and the firemen doubt pheir ability to save it, Mr.Wilcox says the company was fully insured and estimates tho loss on the refinery atthree hundred thousand dollars.The total loss will probably reach a million, The fire from the lard refinery spread rapidly and all the docks and buildings on North River water front, from 58th street to 70th street, together with the freight houses and grain elevators belonging to the New York Central Railway Company were destroyed.For hours the wildest sort of conflagration raged, defying the efforts of the fira- men, who were forced at frequent intervals to abandon positions advantageous for throwing streams of water on the burning buildings.Nearly one hundred thousand people witnessed the fire from the avenues near by and the house tops for blocks around.The fire originated in the engine room of the refinery, where was placed a machine for cooling lard, and from which it is understood some lard boiled over and caused the fire.Four fire boats were in the North River, but were prevented from rendering aid owing to the danger of taking fire if they came near shore.The fire was got under control at 11.30 o'clock.The following is an estimate of the loss :\u2014Rossiter stores, contents, $900,000 ; Wilcox Company, stock, $450,000; Elevator A, $800,- 000; Elevator B, $750,000; Dock D, contents, $200,000; Dock A, $35,000; Wilcox building, $220,000.The Loss of the New York Central Company is covered by insurance in the London and Liverpool and Globe Company.ee 815,000 IN GOLD MISSING, Disappearance of the Money Bag.BraINARD, Minn,, April 19\u2014A bag containing $15,000 in gold has mysteriously disappeared from tbe office of the Northern Pacific Express Company, in this city, Whether it was lost or stolen and who is responsible for its disappearance is not at present known.Among the packages brought by the Northern Pacific train which arrived at 1.45 o'clock this morning were four bags of coin consigned to the First National Bank of this city and intended to pay off the employees of the road.Two of the bags contained $15,000 each in gold and two $500 each in silver.Louis Hosman, the night clerk in charge, carried the specie with other packages on a truck into the express office.Hethen opened the vault, placed the bags inside, closed the door and turned the combination.None of the packages were then missing.Half an hour afterward he checked off the packages.Upon opening the vault he found that one of the bags, containing $15,000, had disappeared.He at once notified C.A.Reuss, the agent, who made a thorough investigation, but was unable to find the missing money.H.H.Browning, of St.Paul, General Superintendent of the Express Co., is now here continuing the investigation.Hosman has not been arrested as yet.He has been in the employ of the company for several years and is regarded as faithful and honest.-\u2014\u2014\u2014 SUCCESSFUL MAN HUNT.But the People Had no Sympathy With This Man.\u2018WATERBURY, Conn., April 19.\u2014 When the news spread yesterday that Miss Bertha Cook.daughter of George Cook, of Torrington, and a school teacher at Campville, had been assaulted by a tramp everyone turned out to look for the villain.Nothing like it was ever seen in the State except when Lockwood was hunted for the murder of Hat.ie Randall, in the neighboring town of Morris, in 1886.Miss Cook came from Tarrytown by train, and started for her school Louse, half a mile away, over the lonely road on foot.Frances Leonard, postmistress at Campville, said to-day :\u2014* I saw the man following her just as the train was leaving the station.It was shortly after eight o'clock.Soon afterward I heard screams down the road, but thought it was the school children.You see itis a dark and lonely place.When I first saw the man he wore an overcoat.Some time after I saw him returning without the coat.He was a short, thick set man.\u201d James Elliott immediately started on borseback and traced the man toward East Litchfield, where he cut across lots and disappeared.He bad no overcoat on then.It seems that he inquired the way to Southington and then started due north.Before night about every house in all the adjacent towns had contributed its quota of the searching party.\u2018On foot, horseback and in waggons, led by Sheriff Allen, of Torrington, Sheriff Gotzell, of Thomaston, and Sheriff Champlin, of Litchfield, swarmed the posse, The man bid for a time in Wheeler's Swamp, but got out under cover of the darkness and the pursuit began anew.Sheriff Allen offered a reward of $100 for his arrest.~All through the night guards were posted bere and there and to-day the bunt was continued.The roads where houses are quite a mile apart were filled with parties.At three o'clock word came that a New Hartford ofticer had arrested a man answering the description in Collinsville.The man was released, however, when Sheriff Allen arrived.The fellow wanted is now known to be one Johnson, of Burrville, north of Tarrytown, to which place searchers have now gune, fifieen miles from here.\u2014\u2014e\u2014\u2014 BRADSTREMPS WEERLY REVIEW.State of the Trade\u2014 Wheat Shipments to Australia\u2014Moliday

Kansas City and Pittsburgh.At the first named city trade equals the volume of a year ago, and at Pittsburgh fine weather has been the stimulus, At Kansas City there is an active demand for goods and for funds for use in Oklahoma.There i8 a good average business doing at Chicago, St.Louis and New Orieans.The outlook for wheat, cotton and corn is bright.Mercantile collections have improved at Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Burlington, St.Joseph and New Orleans.San Francisco has shippad 157,000 bushels of wheat to Australia thls year, and tonnage for 350,060 bushels more has been engaged.Good Friday observances have curtailed the volume of business somewhat this week, and at New York the Centennial inaugural celebration will further check the volume of wholesale trade.Country produce and building materials are more active at New York with prices tending upward.Building is active, and the demand for materials is 30 to 50 per cent in excess of last year.\u2018 Trade in furniture, machinery, naval stores, fruits, leather, rubber, paper, paper stock and cane is quiet.Liquors, paints, jewelry and boots and shoes are fairly active.Price of furniture, naval stores and crude rubber tend downward.! Stock speculation at New York has been dull and mostly of a professional character, with a downward tendency, owing in part to the coming Centennial celebration.Bonds have advanced slightly.Call loans are 3(@3} per cent, and the demand for sterling is firm at $4.885 @$4.89.The ne trailroad earnings of eighty- seven companies for February aggregate $10,066,369, against $9,589,379 last year, an increase of 49 per cent for two months ending February 28, eighty-six companies report net earnings of $20,394 801, against $17,313,660 in 1888, an increase of 17.9 per cent.Sugar advices from primary sources are stronger, and prices of raw are {(@ 7-16c higher, holders of raw declining contracts at current rates.Crop estimates are less encouraging.Arrivals are 14,- 300 tons beavier this

advance, amounting to àc on the week.The price of sugar is declared to be not yet abnormally high, \u2018the last few years of depression\u201d having accustomed consumers to a less range of prices.Raw sugars are still below the average price of forty years.Granulated is 8c at San Francisco and 8c at New Yok.Coffee prices in speculative lines have been fairly supported, although holiday observances in Europe and at home have checked trade.Rio is unchanged on the week.Jobbers are awaiting a revival of demand from their customers.~ The breadstuffs market is weak and lower.The trading in wheat is of smaller volume and prices are off %¢ on increased stocks afloat and unusually favourable western crop outlook.Flour is weak in sympathy and prices are shaded: Indian corn forms an exception, with an advance of 1}c on reduced offerings, and better foreiga demand.Oats are ic and 1c lower with the west.Hog products have hardened partly with corn and the west and lard is dearer.The exports of wheat (and flour as wheat) from both coasts this week equal 1,419,000 bushels wheat against 1,226,000 bushels last week, and 2,146,000 bushels in the like week of 1888.The production of pig iron is very heavy and the fact that stocks are not accumulating or prices not declining openly is regarded by many as encouraging features.The demand for hardware, iron pipe, sheet iron and nails is said to be imvroving.Productions and shipments of rails this year exceed those of 1888 to a like date.Lake Superior copper is sold here at 14ic, but it is likely to go to the neighborhood of 12¢ during the summer.Consumption bere and abroad is small.The visible supply has gained 1,000 tons per wesk for the psst fortnight.The price of petroleum has been hammered down about 6c.per barrel this week by speculative dealers, mainly on a sensational account of the Standard\u2019s operations in the Ohio field.\u2019 Dry goods are in only moderate demand from commission men at New York and Boston.Jobbers are doing the usually quiet-between-season\u2019s trade.Decorative goods are in free movement in New York.Cotton goods values are steady notwithstanding the light demand.rices are low in view of higher cost of the raw product.Stocks of prints are increasing and are In excess of 8 year ago.Raw wool is weaker, but unchanged on dull demand.The quantity of new wool received is not

Beprorp, Mass., April 19.\u2014John A.Phillips, coloured, arrived home from State Prison to-day, where he has been | confined for crimes which he never committed.In 1885 Mrs.Phillips, who is white, had her husband brought before the Court, charging him with an assault on their thirteen-year-old daughter.The child supported the charge.John was sentenced for twelve years, he having previously served a ten-years\u2019 sentence on a somewhat similar charge.Recently Detective Samuel Perry discovered that Phillips was the victim of a conspiracy between the wife and daughter.In a quarrel with her mother the girl said she had been promised a gold watch and a silk dress to Bwear away her father\u2019s liberty.Phillips has a full pardon, and it is not believed that he was guilty of either crime.He has no redress except through the Legislature.\u2014 Let a Train Behead Him.LouisviLiz, Ky., April 19.\u2014At Newport News and Mississippi Valley Railroad yards this morning an unknown man placed his head over the rail so that the wheels of an approaching freight train passed over his neck, breaking it at once.There is no clue to his identity, but he apreared to be a mechanic out of work._\u2014\u2014\u2014 Put Poison in His Father\u2019s Cider.Pormuaxp, Me, April 19.\u2014George Black, of Gray, has been arrested on a charge made by Abel Black, his father, of mixing paris green

Mondia, aged twenty-tive, while at work to-day on the new suspension bridge, slipped from the centre of the structure and fell 200 feet to the water.His body rose to the surface a few seconds later

dwelling house on the farm of W, H.Stewart, about two miles from here, was badly damaged by fire Tuesday night.The family bad retired and were unconscious of any danger until awakened by the report of a gun which was exploded by the fire in the lower portion of the house.1t is probable that but for this timely warning the family would have perished.\u2014 Cashier Pratt Still at Large.Axoxa, Minn,, April 19.\u2014 Matters at the suspended First National Bank are assuming tangible shape.If it were not for-the Mrs.Nell notes of $40,000, the bank would resume business within two weeks.The only criminal action that can be brougnt against Pratt by the bank is through the note that was discounted by the Union National Bank of Chicago, for which remittance was made by the Merchants\u2019 National of St.Paul.Nothing has been heard of him yet, \u2014\u2014 Yellow Fever at Rio.New York, April 19.\u2014Frederick Hopps, the purser of the steamer Advance, which reached port yesterday, died

Braxcm, N.J., April 19.\u2014The storm of three days\u2019 duration, which subsided to-day, succeeded in doing a good deal of damage along Ocean avenue, between Monmouth Beach and Elberon.About fifty feet of the bluff in front of the Niles cottage at Monmouth Beach was washed out, a huge gap was cat in the avenue in front of the old East End Hotel property, and several minor wash-outs occurred between this place and Elberon.Work on the iron pier, which was stopped by the storm, was resumed to-day.rente A Find of Gold in, Colorado.Pvxeo, Col, April 19.\u2014Great strikes of gold ore are

ore show nearly a hundred ounces of gold to the ton, besides some silver.The extent of the district is not yet known, but is thought to be considerable.Facts bave been suppressed but are getting out

One of Increasing Difficulty.INTRIGUE TO EXPEL HIM FROM BELGIUM Churchill and Chamberlain Engage ina Wordy War.BOULANGER'S DIFFICULT POSITION.Surrounded by Spies and Intrigaers.Loxpox, April 19\u2014Letters from Paris and Brussells indicate that General Boulanger\u2019s position in Belgium is becoming more and more difficult.Ispionage is incessant and intolerable, every movement, every word, every act of the General and his friends, and visitors is watched and reported by French, German and Belgian spies to their respective governments, Their letters, are tampered with, their telegrams copied.They have ceased using the telephone except for the commonest domestic messages, awara that every word is taken down at the central office and transmitted to the local authorities.It is reperted that formal representations of a diplomatic character have been made which have resulted in another and more serious note of warning addressed by the Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs to the troubled and troublesome exile, and to effect that be must absolutely abstain from political action, open or concealed, if he wishes to remain on Belgian territory.In consequence of these accumulating annoyances and complications, it is not improbable that Gen.Boulanger may seek refuge in England or Switzerland, and that at an early day.It isthe General\u2019s desire, and has been determined upon by his advisors as his best policy, to remain absolutely quiet, and his friends are urged te abstain from all intrigue and agitation while on Belgian soil, but the General is made responsible for everything that goes on in France in his name, even for efforts of his friends to defend him from the fresh charges continually made against him.Increasing pressure is being brought to bear on the Goverument by the French ministry to induce it to order his expulsion.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHURCHILL AND CHAMBERLAIN.The Two Bumptions Statesmen Quarrel.LoxpoN, April 19.\u2014Mr.Joseph Chamberlain,in a recent letter, stated that Lord Randolph Churchill declared in November last that he (Churchill) would not contest the Parliamentary seat of Central Birmingham.Lord Randolph now replies that Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s assertion is utterly false.It is expected than an excited correspondence will follow between the two gentlemen.-\u2014\u2014\u2014 ANOTHER ENOCH ARDEN.Returned Afier Twenty nine Years.Macmias, Me., April 19.\u2014Aaron Harvey was a sea captain, having a wife and five children, and resided in Machias.He departed on a voyage in 1860 and a year later came a letter In à strange hand saying he was dead.The children grew to maturity and one of the daughters, Elizabeth by name, married a Dem: mons, of Kenduskeag, and later the mother married a Mr.Champion, of Exeter.Yesterday, on answering a knock at the door, Mrs.Demmons was confronted by an old and gray man, who, when he found who the woman wag, said : \u201cElizabeth, don\u2019t you knowme?I am your father,\u201d As Mrs.Demmons was a mere child when hedis- appeared she did not recognize him.The old man was invited in, however, and the The latter at once recognized him as the manshe had mourned as lost.Harvey has been a wanderer during all of the twenty-nine years.He had been shipwrecked, and on that occasion lost a fortune which he was bringing home.He remains at his

FOR THE CADETS.A Parrott Gun Expleded.West Point, April 19.\u2014For the third {ime at this post a Parrott gun has exploded while in use by cadets at target practice.The accident occurred April 11.Lieut.Hardin was in command of the third class, members of which wera practising wilh the six Parrott guns composing the siege battery.\u2018Some shots had been fired when tlie gun exploded.The shock knocked down two cadets, They lay on the ground bleeding from the ears and nose.Ladet Fuller, who was directly behind tbe gan,\u2019 narrowly escaped being struck by tne breach, which flow back into the embankment behind the breastworks, burying itself in the earth.This piece of matal weighs about eight hundred pounds.Another pieces of two hundrad pounds flew fifty feet into the air and struck the platform of a mortar in the mortar battery, a hundred feet to the west of the siege battery.It fell a foot from Cadet H.C.Clark and crushed through four nches of stout pine constituting the plat- \u2018orm.When the smoke had cleared away Cadet George White, who had pulled the lanyard, was found unconscious ou the ground, his head having been hit by the flying pieces of metal which badly 'acerated his scalp.He was carried to rhe hospital and will soon be able to report for duty.Cadet Fuller was struck on the face by a sliver from the carriage.Many visitors to the Point were standing in the neighbourhood of the battery.It is almost miraculous that nobody was killed outright.Not ten feet from the place where the shattered cannon lies is one which exploded under like circumstances some time ago.A careful examination and comparison of the two show that they not only burst in the same part, but that they were made from the same casting of metal.There now remain five Parrott guns in the siege battery, and it is possible that they will not be replaced by effective and more modern armament until they all go the way of their exploded predecessors.It is but natural that to some degree a feeling of nervousness should assert itself among the cadets who are under the necessity of using the battery every day, and while none of them cared to state the fact in so many words, it was evident to the World reporter that an indignant feeling existed against a Government that would permit and enforce the use of antiquated cannon which are at any time liable to kill those who are using them.The Parroit guns did good service during the late war, one of them being the much-famed \u201cSwamp Angel \u201d that was used to so much advantage against the city of Charleston, S.C.It should be stated, in justice to the authorities at West Point, that no blame whatever can be attached to the officers or men who were using the gun at the time of the accident.Every known precaution is taken to establish the condition of the gun and to test its ability to withstand the strain arising from continued service, The matter has been laid before the War Department in detail, and the responsibility of risking the lives of the cadets must lie with those who insist upon the retention in use of this antiquated armament, which is fit only for relegation to the various armo~ ries as relics.ee Fairmount Colliery Closed.PrTrsToN, Pa, April! 19.\u2014Fairmount Colliery, one of the leading mines owned by individual operators was closed by the Sheriff, to satisfy claims made by

Register of Deeds in the several counties in this State through which it runs a consolidated mortgage of all its lines to the Central Trust Company of New York.The road wishes to build a branch from its main line to Detroit, and also to pay off the existing indebtedness by the issue of new bonds in the sum of $10,000,000.The Central Trust Company, acting as trustee, will issue these bonds for a term of fifty years, payable in gold in New York, with semi-an- nual interest at 5 per cent.Bell Ringing in More Capital.Boston, Mass, April 19.\u2014A modest request for an increase of capital of $10,- 000,000 was made to-day by the Bell Telephone monopoly.Those who know anything about this company say a neat little stock-watering scheme is contemplated, although their counsel told the Legislative Committee that the increase was necessary mainly for construction purposes He recited the fact that the monopoly enjoys the profits from 721 exchanges, representing 170,000 miles of wire, over which an average of 1,065,000 messages are transmitted daily.In the next four years the Company proposes to build a double line between Boston and Chicago and will have to expend $10,000,000 in construction.In addition, the Company\u2019s building in Boson, when completed, will have cost $800,000; $2,000,000 in bonds mature in he next two years, and in the present year $600,000 will be expended on the ines to Providence and to Washington.mr The House of Commons Cannot pass a law that will prevent people having coughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis and lung troubles, Hagyard\u2019s

SUGARS.The New York Commercial Bulletin re- \u2018Forts the market there as follows: The market for raws furnishes no really new features as regards the general Situations.The magnitude of the advance in value, 1t is contended, would have drawn into sight any concealed supply, and hence the statistical positions remains unassailed as a prime sap- porting factor, and upon which much faith is placed as likely to rmit à steady carrying of supplies for a long while, even under a material shrinkage of demand.1t is, however, doubtful if backers can adhere to an independent method for more that a short period, as even allowing for amounts coming forward the consumption now tends towards an increase, even at the fuller costs, and unless arrivals prove mora than ordinarily opportune there is always likely to be a pecessity for purchasing additions.Since our last, trading has been moderate.Late yesterday husiness was accomplished with Philadelphia®buyers to extent of 800 begs 88 molasses

improvement in any particular.Buyers of old rails have withdrawn their offers made two weeks ago, and holders are finding no market for spot lois.Steel rails are nominally $27, with very moderate inquiry.Makers are predicting, with some show of reason, that the summer and fall demand for steel rails will be very heavy.Structural iron isquoted at 2.80 cents for beams and channels.The shipyard demand for plate is good, but no large orders are coming along.Ordinary plate, 1.90 cent.The crude iron market ig without interest in either northern or southern brands.Good foundry has been offered at $17.Northern, $18.The inactivity among the bar mills accounts for the dullness in forge.Offers for muck bars bave been made in large lots at $26.50.Cut nailsare in moderate de- wand, and stocks are being depleted.Tlere is also a betler movement, but in aretail way, for pipes and tubes.The production of pig iron amounts to 150,000 tons per week this year.There is no fixed price for inferior brands.A great deal of southern iron is coming northward, but itis not interfering with eastern markets.There 1s very little disposition at present among buyers to anticipate summer requirements when it is intimated among large buyers that present prices are likely to be the lowest for the season.* Prrrssure, April 16.\u2014Both buyers and sellers are on the defensive.No more iron is being made than can be melted and the drop of 25 to 40 cents has been made on forge irons.Bessemer is at £16.50; cold blast charcoal at $24; No.1 foundry at $16.50 ; neutral gray forge at $14; muck bars at $26.50; merchant bars at 1.60 to 1.75 cent ; steel rails at $28; old rails at $25 for Ts.Several large transactions have been closed during the past week for wrought iron pipe and negotiations are pending for much more.The general situation is improving and the strongest feature of the market is the diminution of stocks in buyer's hands.CoaL\u2014Not for weeks has the coal trade been so devoid of interest as at present, -Scarcely any business is being done in a large way.Consumers are waiting for developments.The new rates and tolls went into effect yesterday, amounting to 5 cents to 15 cents from this city.The Reading Company will still further re- \u2018strict production, amounting to 2,000 tons *bis week, and probably 3,000 tons next week; There is a reported want of harmony among the companies, which according to the interpretation of outsiders, means a revision of prices within a short time.There are, however, no decided indications to base this opinion upon.Such a restriction of production will at least be carried out as will prevent any accumulation of coal on the market.Coke is dragging; shipments have fallen off.Anthracite production for the week, 515,000 tons; for the year, 7,111,480 tons, or 144,760 tons less than for the same time last year.\u2014\u2014\u2014< COMMERCIAL NOTES.Clearances of breadstuffs on Monday from the Atlantic ports were 45,630

aspect of the hard coal trade is not very different from what has been recorded in the past four weeks ; there is an effort to restrict the production, ani the companies are holding up the pricas to the schedule that has been made.The outlook is for more active trade after the 4th of July (as is the case every year), and prices can hardly be any lower at any time.Comparative statement of

President Smith, of the Oregon Navigation Company, announced that the bids were such that he was enabled to accept an amount equal to the total amount of bonds offered.Messrs.J.& W.Seligman & Co.were awarded the bonds at 102% and accrued interest.Total bids were over $2,200,000.The tangle in the affairs of the various roads in the Pacific Northwest has not been in any important degree straightened out as yet, though the success of vesterday\u2019s bond issue removes a little of the intereat.It was considered a little singular by some that the subject of the alleged proposed change of relations between Union Pacific and Oregon Navigation shouid have been brought up by the Philadelphia interest contemporaneously with the offering of the Navigation bonds.The representative of the same Philadelphia interest in Northern Pacific yesterday reaffirmed that Mr.Adams had intimated that he should withdraw the guarantee of 6 per cent on Navigation stock aud endeavor to perfect a new deal, but Mr.Adams\u2019 statement on the subject stands.The \u201coutsiders\u201d in the Northern Pacific board are at sea with regard to the present complications, but nearly all the directors acknowledge that there is small chance of bringing about the join: lease with Union Pacific at present.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 LONDON WOOL SALES.Loxpox, April 18.\u2014There was a good attendance at the wool sales.All buyers operated freely and the competition was animated.A good assortment of Victorian, New South Wales and Cape of Good Hope and Natal scoureds and crossbreds was offered.Sellers\u2019 prices were mostly obtained, Cape of Good Hope and Natal advancing 4d.There were offered 15,409 bales.One hundred bales were withdrawn, There are available 135,062 bales.The sales have been suspended until the 24th instant on account of the Easter holidays.Following are the offor- ings of the day in retail ,and the prices obtained : Victoria\u2014Sales, 3,000 bales;

Note of Warning To the People of the United States.re (New York Commercial Bulletin.) The last three years have been a period of unuaaal activity in railroad construction in the United States.The total mileage built within that time may be reasonably estimated at about 35,00) miles; which is an increase of about 27 per cent.on the previously existinz length of road.Considering the growth of population and the strict moderation of new construction during the few years next preceding, this may not have been an undue rate of expansion; and the increase was the less calculated to excite distrust because the new road was in a large measure built by old and wealthy lines to acquire new feeders and the constructions were made upon a fairly sound financial basis.It is true that in some quarters this rate of extension excited distrust and evoked prophesies of collapse and disaster; but it was reasonably hoped that in 1889 there would be a reaction from this activity, and the appre- Lension subsided.\u2018What, however, has been regarded a being a liberal response to the current legitimate demand for additional carrying facilities.now turns out to have been but the prelude to A HUGE RAILROAD INFLATION, based on no commensurate transportation requirements and aiming mainly at speculative purposes.The Railway Age makes the surprising showing that, during the first quarter of tbe current year, 666 new lines, with an aggregate contemplated mileage of 53,436 miles, have been projected since Jan.1, and that of these lines, 14,518 miles are under construction or contract, 9,617 are surveyed, and 29,001 are incorporated or projected.\u2018Lhe Age remarks: \u201cThe mileage proposed in these three months is equivalent to almost one-third of the entire railway mileage of the country now in operation, and yet the projection and inauguration of other lines are still going on at an equally rapid rate, and the prospect is that the roads projected and in various stages of development during 1889 will exceed in aggregate mileage OUR ENTIRE PRESENT COMPLETED SYSTEM.\u201d These computations, coming from any other source, would have been pronounced incredible; but from the authority that gives them they must be accepted as approximately accurate.The length of line proposed to be constructed during the last quarter in the several sections is stated by the Age to be asfollows: Miles.Twelve New England and Eastern States.00.a0ssesna00ac0 0000 Five Central Northern State Seven Northwestern States Five Southwestern States.Nearly 13,000 miles to be started on the impulse of the Southern \u201cboom\u201d is a fact too suggestive to be overlooked.The inevitable conclusion from these facts is that we are in the midst of a railroad inflation far surpassing, not only in numerical measurement but also in relative magnitude, ANYTHING EXPERIENCED IN THE WORST EX CESSES of the checkered history of railroad construction.Adding to the 53,400 miles projected since Jan.1 the mileage brought over from 1888 as then under construction, it is perhaps a moderate estimate to suppose that there are now 65,000 miles of single track, the construction of which is either now in progress or immediately contemplated.Taking the combined capital stock and bonded debt of the roads introduced this year as averaging $30,000 per mile, this would represent a new capitalization of $1,950,000,000, And sup- osing the actual cost to be represented y one-half that sum, or by the bonds to be issued for construction and equipment (the stock being as usual issued without consideration), it follows tha the public will be asked to subscrib close upon $3,000,000,000 of money fo these enterprises.This, be it remem bered, is principally speculative construction, the building of feeders by old and powerful companies on strictly conservative and economical methods having been in a large measure prudently suspended.This fact greatly aggravates the seriousness of this vast mass of problematical undertakings.Even though the enterprises were in response to a legitimate want and were conducted on a strictly sound financial basis, yet, coming on the heels of three succes- give years of unprecedented subscriptions to railroad loans, who would for a moment dream that the market could forthwith absorb in addition a sum nearly equal to thrice the amount of the last three years\u2019 issues?But apart from this impossibility when it is considered that these pending demands are to supply ventures which for the most part are devoid of sound financial basis and may be expected to go through THE PCRGATION OF BANKRUPTCY and \u201cscaling\u201d within a few years, what shall be thougbt of the dangers of this current phase of speculation ?There has seemed to be reason for hoping that our methods of railroad building had so far improved during late years as to make repetition of the huge swindles of past speculations of this kind impossible ; but these current facts too Plainly demonstrate that the penchant or rotten financing had grewn with our growth.These manias of railroad speculation are beyond all comparison the most serious of all evils that afflict our business or threaten our social structure.They not only inflate trade and cause mischievous diversions of capital from healthy employment and then culminate in destructive panics, but they act a8 a means of wholesale plunder upon investors, and elevate to financial ageend- ancy a class who are neither a benefit nor a credit to any community, but who, nevertheless, succeed in cheating their way into the ranks of a SORDID MONEYED ARISTOCRACY, Periods like this always prove to be the culmination of periods of antecedent prosperity and end in explosion and panic ; and these railroad fiascos are the sure precursors of coming trouble.We have not had a serious railroad crisis since 1873 ; and with such an inflation as is now in progress and 25 millions more population now than we had then and a corresponding expansion of trade, with what sort of commotion might we expect the ninth decade of the century to be consummated?The current symptoms are unmistakable and mean ULTIMATE MISCHIEF OF NO TRIFLING DIMEN SIONS, It is not to be expected that those wh » bold the dynamite will care for anythin beyond getting themselves out of reach ofthe explosion; but the contemplated victims stand exposed to unsuspected danger and need to be warned.The extent to which the impending danger may || commitments to thege new schemes have { and is cured by some dear old grand- crowded waggons continue to roll into THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMVMERCTAL GAZETTE SATURDAY.APRIL.20 run must depend largely upon the custodians of credit.In all probability, the not yet gone so far but that ths paril may be arrested if banks and bankers and honorable negotiators will do their part towards discouraging all questionable railroad loans and encouraging a strictly conservative and cautious feeling towards new investments generally.In p'ainer words, the railroad speculators should be given to understand that there 18 no money for them; and those who have got into the meshes of their net should get out as soon as they can.Beyond tris and wholesome warnings from the press, we know of no means of averting a steady drifting toward the most serious financial derangement and collapse.\u2014 \u201cEDITOR'S BACK STAIRS.\u201d The theeresting Views of tue Late Dr.J.G.Holland.The columns of the newspapers appear to be flooded with proprietary medicine advertisements.As we cast our eye over them it brings to mind an article that was published by the late Dr.Holland in Scribner's Monthly.Hesays: \u2018Nevertheless, it is a fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day were more successful than many physicians, and most of them, it should be remembered, were at firat discovered or used in actual medical practice, When, however, any shrewd person, knowing their value, and for seeing their popularity secures and advertises them, then, in the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out of them.\u201d Is not this absurd ?This great man appreciated the real merits of popular remedies, and the absurdity of those that derided them because public attention was called to the article and the evidence of their cures.If an ulcer is found upon one\u2019s arm, mother outside of the code, it will be pronounced by the medical profession an ulcer of little importance.But if treated under the code, causing sleepless nights for a month, with the scientific treatment, viz., plasters, washes, dosing with morphine, arsenic and other vile sub- stanoes, given to prevent blood poisoning or deaden pein, and yet the ulcer becomes malignant, and amputation is made necessary at last, to save life, yet all done according to the \u201cisms\u201d of the medical code, this is much more gratifying to the medical profession, and adds more dignity to that distinguished order than to be cured by the dear old grandmother\u2019s remedy.One of the most perplexing things of the day is the popularity of certain remedies, especially Warner's Safe Cure, which we find for sale everywhere.The physician of the highest standing is ready to concede its merits and sustain the theories the proprietors have made\u2014 that is, that it benefits in most of the ailments of the human system because it assists in putting the kidneys in proper condition, thereby aiding in throwing off the impurities of the blood, while others with less honesty and experience deride, and are willing to see their patient die scientifically, and according to the code, rather than have him cured by this great remedy.The discoverer comes boldly before the people with its merits, and proclaims them from door to door and is in our opinion much more honorable than the physician who, perchance, may secure a patient from some catastrophe, and is permitted to set abone of an arm or a finger, which he does with great dignity, yet very soon after takes the liberty to climb the editor's back stairs at 2 o\u2019clock | in the morning to have it announced in the morning paper that \u201cDr.So-and-so was in attendance,\u201d thus securing for his benefit a beautiful and free advertisement.We shall leave it to our readersto say which is the wiser and more honorable.TROUBLE FOR THE PIONEERS.The Mad Rush to Oklahoma-Pistiress Among the Boomers.Arkansas Crry, Kan, April 17.\u2014Arkan- sas City is now the Boomers\u2019 centre.From a quiet border town it has in the past few days developed into a place of life and feverish activity.The strests are packed with people, the hotels crowded to their utmost and business of every character booming.Street fakirs, side shows and manipulators of skin games are flourishing.The streets are filled with wagons and tents are upon every available camping spot for miles around.In bottoms below the city are still standing the tents erected years ago by early agitators, who have ever since occupied them.On the Walnut Creek Valley, in one camping ground, are 450 waggons, and on the banks of the Arkansas River, at another camping ground, as many more, Two large colonies from the Eastern dtates alighted from the train to-day.Along every road from the north this city, increasing in numbers on the approach of opening day.Yesterday actual count on the street showed 247 waggons had passed.On the same street to-day were 563.Some of the boomers are already poverty-stricken and are beginning to steal to keep alive.There is a sadly interesting side to this movement that must become apparent to one that moves through their camp, Amongthe arrivals to-day was an old couple from Marshall County, Mo.They were not less than sixty-five years old, and scarcely able to alight.They will try to get a claim that they perhaps will never live to prove up.On the border are encamped the early Oklahoma agitators.They have less funds and stock, and are crushed beneath the weight of newer and fresher arrivals.An enquiry here reveals the fact that the secret league of old boomers is in full foroe and increasing in membership.Each member takes a solemn oath to defend, \u201cat the point of his life if needs be, outlaw or force of arms,\u201d his brothers claim.If this be enforced bloodshed will be the consequence.The high winds and heavy rains last night caused the destruction of much of their provisions and supplies, and will necessitate their dependence upon the charity of those more fortunate.*, Capt.Hayes, who is here guarding the boomers, says that he will permit them to cross the line on the 19th, even at the first hour of that day.There will undoubtedly be à great rush Thursday midnight to be first in line.No trouble is anticipated in the march here.The line across the Territory will be a scene such ag never before been witnessed in the West, A BLOODY AFFRAY ALREADY.Forr Surry, April 17.\u2014The rush for Oklahoma is diminishing rapidly, and in a few days it is probable that a reaction will set in, and the roads will be swarming with disgusted boomers on their way back.Great destitution is sure to follow, and it is not unlikely that governmental relief will be invoked to provide for the sufferers.Word was received Children Crv for \u2014\u2014 a \u2014 here this evening of a contlict between parties of boomers, cattiemen and Chickasaw police at the ford at Chisholm\u2019s cattle trai), forty milzs west of Oklahoma City, The cattlemen were takinz several hundred animals from Frank Colbert's ranch, in the Chickesaw Nation, to Kin- sas, but the mounted police guarding the soutbern border of Oklaboma refused to permit them to use the Cnisholm trail leading through the new territory.À fight ensued in which the cattl-imen were reinforced by a party of boomers from Cooke and Fanning counties, Tex.Ore of the guards, two catt!>men and one boomer, named Geiss, were killed in the melee.HIRTS TO FATHERS WHO HAVE MAR- RIAGKABLE DAUGHTERS.Train your clock to strike only every two hours.If you Lave a dog give it to some friend \u2014for the time being.Never grumble audibly about the dressmaker\u2019s and milliner\u2019s bills.Always let the young man see that you wear slippers in the evenings._.Take all the tidies from the sitting- room chairs.Men are adverse to tidies.When you go to the theatre as chaperone always hire a carriage to go home inand then fall asleep on the way.; An invitation to dinneronce in a while will either make the young man feel at bome or else scare him off.This is a good way to learn his intentions.Join the club to which the young man belongs, and, if necessary, ask him to se3 you home late at night.This will be an advantage to you, and also make the young man feel that he is \u201c solid \u201d with you.Do not make use of patent gas-extin- guishers which turn all the lights out at 10 o\u2019clock.The young man might take it as a hint to go, and he had better regulate the light to suit himself and the girl.\u2014Judge.Dr.R.A.Gunn, M.D., Prof.of Surgery of the United States Medical College, editor of \u201cMedical Tribune,\u201d Author of \u201cGunn's New Improved Hand-book of Hygiene and Domestic Medicine,\u201d over his own signature said, in referring to and prescribing Warner\u2019s Safe Cure: \u201cI was greatly surprised to observe a decided improvement within a month, Within four months, no tube casts could be found and only a trace of albumen, and as the patient expressed it, he felt per- fectiy well.\u201d The Ottawa

that they are not allowed to drink a glass of beer except when permitted by the Governor; that there is a force of dragoons whose business it is to enforce the regulations against the settlers, and that the rights and privileges of self government as enjoyed elsewhere are only permitted in such part as the Goy- ernment at Ottawa and the Governor in tte Territory see fit.This is the condition of affairs which is designed to attract men who, in leaving their native countries in Europe, are largely moved by the idea that in the far West they shall no longer be subjected to the espionage of governors, soldiers, etc, and that they will be freed from the paternal restraints under which they have been living.We make our Northwest a8 much as possible like an overgoverned European state, and we are asfonished that emigrants from Europe prefer the United States.er THE WATER POLICE.QUEBEC \u201cCHRONICLE\u201d: Some time ago there was talk of disbanding the Water Police force of Quebec The Minister, Mr.Tupper, anxious to try his policy of economy, determined to discharge the water force of Montreal and this city, He might abolish the river police of Montreal, with some safety, but here it is quite a different matter® There is a stretch of about eighteen miles to look after, and the city of Quebec would in no way attempt to protect that extent.Hence the change which has come over the spirit of Mr.Tupper\u2019s dreams, and our Water Police will not go.It is quite possible that such ¢* limbs of the law\u201d as water police are more required in Quebec than Montreal\u2014which, of course, is a tribute to the law-abiding character of the people of this port.\u2018But the \u201c cream of the joke\u201d is that if steamers bound for Montreal stop to land a few tons of freight at Quebec, they will have to pay the police and other port taxes, without any real services having 1een rendered therefor.As a matter of fact shipping bound to Montreal contributes largely to the port taxes collected at Quebec, for which Montreal gets no {HE credit.And yet this port, in a fit of mistaken economy, is to be deprived of the protection of the River Police, though vessels coming here may hava contriba- ted at Quebec their full share to the maintenance of that service.It scarcely seems that Montreal is baing fairly treated in this matter.Why should Hon.Mr.Tapper\u2019s short-sighted economy be practised at the expense of the most important seaport of the Dominion?tr SHOULD WANT TO KNOW.It surely will be admitted that if European immigrants are desired for the Northwest, the money voted by Parliament to obtain them should be spent, either in assisting the emigrants to settle, or in disseminating information in Europe concerning the country.The two or three thousand dollars here, and tha several thousand dollars there charged to pamphlet accoant, may be allowable pap to the friends of the party, because the proceeds of these sums may be of service in Europe.But the sams of money spent in friendly newspaper offices in Canada can be of no service in procuring English emigrants.Nor is it apparent that the emigration to this country could be materially enhanced by the expenditure of $35.106 in payment of salaries to agents in Canada during the past year.European immigrantsdo not come from Hamilton, Kingston, Ottawa, Tordhto and other towns in Canada, and though \u201cshovelling snow at the Tanneries,\u201d or \u201csprinkling streets at Ottawa,\u201d may be very necessary operations, their connection with encouraging immigration isgiot obvious.It is largely in useless fritterings of this kind that the annual parliamentary vote for immigration is spent, and the House of Commons would do well if it postively refused to vote another dollar for immigration until the Government inaugurated - some common sense system for settling the Western country, and closed the numerous leakages through which the public money is diverted to useless formalities.The several constituencies might with advantage question their members during the recess on this matter.Some information might be asked as to the $27,367 spent in assisted.passages during the year, and concerning the practice of paying $5 a head commission for the children brought over here.What has become of the people whose passage money the Government \u201c\u2018assisted\u201d to the extent of $27,000 ; are they now in the United States, or the refuges and other charitable institutions of the country, and how many of them have settled west of Lake Supariof.Possibly the payment of $5 a head for children may be a wise expenditure.A good stout boy is cheap at that price if he is warranted free from scrofula, and permanently settled in Canada, but if all reports are true there are some young ladies to whom it would have been better to pay $5 to go elsewhere.Untortu- nately the duty of ventilating these subjects is left entirely to members of the opposition and when their enquiries are becoming troublesome they are voted down.Conservative tax payers, however, are as much interested as Liberals.Conservative workmen are equally interested with others in regulating this influx of \u201cassisted\u201d passengers and con- gervative philanthropists shouid have something to say concerning the way in which European paupers are \u201cassisted\u201d on to their shoulders.In fact, in this as in several other departments of the Government Corservative enquiries, if couched in a sufficiently loud tone, would do a great deal of good.So long as Sir John thinks\u2014and we admit that he has good reason for thinking\u2014that he can do as he pleases with the Conservative party, so long will the shiftless and injurious policies which his government has adopted be continued.A NOTE OF WARNING.An article on \u201cDangerous Railroad Inflation,\u201d which we reprint from the New York Commercial Bulletin, sounds a note of warning to the people of Canada as well as to those of the United States.The five or six years which preceded the great depression of 1873-78, were marked in that country by marvellous railway development, which locked up millions \u2018of dollars in unproductive, or at least temporarily unproductive, investments.The article which we reproduce points out that the same dangerous \u201crailroad inflation\u201d which prevailed previous to 1873 has been observable for some years past, and apparently has reached a culminating point\u2014 there being in the United States at the present time 65,000 miles of railway (single track) either In process of construction or immediately contemplated, which means an expenditure of nearly, $2,000,000,000 of money, the major portion of which must be borrowed on bonds and other securities.terprises are purely speculative, and cannot for years to come, if ever, prove paying investments; bankruptcy in a few years will be the result.During the past three years the subscriptions to railway loans have been unprecedented, and as our New York contemporary points out, it is impossible that so much additional capital can be provided without creating widespread and severe financial stringency, very likely to result in explosion and panic, perhaps more disastrous than that which prevailed in 1873.Should the prognostications of the Bulletin be realized, it will be impossible, considering our geographical and commercial relations with the United States, that Canada could escape being involved in such a crisis, even if there were no predisposing elements of financial depression in the business situation in this country.Canada suffered in 1873-1878 mainly because the two countries with which we transacted the largest portion of our commerce\u2014 Great Britain and the United States\u2014 Many of these en- | MONTKEAL HERALD AND suffered from panic and depression, and the same thing probably would occur again, But there is another point to be considered.For a country of her population and regources, Canada has indulged pretty largely in the luxury of railway development, mainly on borrowed capital, and there is considerable railway mileage in process of construction or contam- plated.There are two dangers in the situation : (1) that this building of spscu- lative railways will continue till a crash comes in the States to be followed quickly by the same disaster in Canala; or (2) that a cessation of expenditure, whether sudden or gradual, may produce a stagnation in business which will severely test the financial resources of the country and the stability of our whole business fabric.So far as spending money is concerned Canada has been going too fast, with altogether incommensurate results so far as solid and healthy develop- meut of our resources is concerned.It is not necessary that we should borrow trouble over the possibilities of the future; but it will be the part of wisdom for the Government of the country, and for our banks and commercial men, to take in sail and prepare for any business emergencies that are likely to occur.In this respect the Government should set an example of wise economy to the country; but this seems to be out of the question.Unfortunately, the financial and commercial interests of the country, so far as the Government can influence them, are at the mercy of financial tyros who rarely lock beyoud the party politie cal aspects of the situation.Under the circumstances, therefore, it is to the business men of the country the people must dook for the taking of precautions to guard against financial explosion and panic; or to mitigate the disasters of the situation if such a crisis does occur.MR.RYKERT IN EXCELSIS.In the recent \u201cblackguarding match \u201d \u2014we are compelled to use the term because none other so accurately describes the event\u2014between the Rev.Dr.Hunter and Mr.Charlee Rykert, at present M.P.for Lincoln, the latter combatant charges his opponent with having had \u2018the cool effrontery to visit my own city.\u201d This if true, was indeed assurance.The City of Lincoln having been long the property of Mr.Rykert and not yet having been sold to Mr.Sands, the effrontery, not to call it \u201ccheek,\u201d of anyone visiting the place without permit from Mr.Rykert will strike the unprejudiced observer as being something unheard of! But even this audacity hardly warrants a person who occupies the position of a gentleman in calling a reverend gentleman a slanderer, an economizer of the truth, a fanatic, a common blackguard, a poor imitator of the end man in a minstrel show, and a person whose \u201cnose is too long and his breath too \u201c horrible.\u201d Mr.Rykert says that if he fails to prove something or another he will resign his seat in Parliament.That he will not again represent Lincoln in Parliament was a generally understood thing even before the publication of the elegant epistle to which we have referred, but if the eternal fitness of things should by chance secure the attention of Mr.Rykert, he will not fail to see tuat even the outward form of respect for the Legislature ot his country demands that he should not again present himself in the House of Commons while the letter to Dr.Hunter remains in the memory of Canadians.Even the lower consideration which prompts a dog to depart before he is kicked down stairs should induce Mr.Rykert to vacate the seat for Lincoln as soon as possible.WHAT OTHERS BAY.THE MILLS THAT DO NOT GRIXD, Millions of dollars of capital invested in flouring mills in Ontario are yielding very little or no return to the investors, and Mr, Foster confesses that he is powerless to do anything for the industry.Has the bottom fallen out of the N, P?\u2014 Guelph Mercury.THEY DON'T LIKE COLTER.TLe Empire is annoyed at the action of Mr.Colter, MLP., who is accused of ostentations forwardness.\u201cAlthough,\u201d says our contemporary, \u2018this ig his first session, and his seat is being contested, he has pushed himself forward in every debate.\u201d Shocking!

and especially since aboard of a new war vessel there is an endless amount of work.The supply of men aboard the receiving ship Vermont has been pretty well exhausted by the draft sent aboard the Chicago yesterday, and it is very likely that the cruiser will get the remainder of her detail from the Boston Navy Yard, along with a number of apprentices from the training squadron at Newport.The full complement of officers has not vet been assigned, but among those on board at present are Capt.Henry B.Robeson, commanding; Lieuats.A.M.Knight, J.A.H.Nickels, and H.T.Monahan, Ensigus G.I.Hawke and E.Witherspoon, and Passed Assistant Engineers J.H.Perry and R.R.Leitch.It is reported that Commodore Walker, at present Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, will go out in the Chicago, with relative rank of Rear Admiral, to command the European station.All the guns of the Chicago are on board and mounted, except the big eight- inch rifles.These latter pieces, which are ten in number, have not yet been mounted on their carriages.There is even some talk of placing six-inch rifles in their stead, because the carriages are yet ready to receive their mounts.It is expected that the Navy Department will receive a good many requests during the next few days, now that the Chicago has gone into commission, from officers desiring to be assigned to her, presuming that it is time for them again to do sea duty.Ag far as the wardroom is concerned, the new cruiser has comfortable and even luxurious quarters, but the steerage is execrable.That something ought to be done here for the ensigns and naval cadets is the current opinion among navy officers, for it is simply abominable to crowd young officers into the hole called the steerage, while their seniors in rank occupy spacious and magnificent quar ters further aft.It is one of the faults with all the new vessels, and the younger naval officers grumble all the harder among themselves now that they have got to go aboard.; It is urged that the Chicago should be painted white, like the Boston.Nothing is more striking than the sight of glittering brass, all ablaze, among the soft white shades of a cruiser\u2019s topsides.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Little Plot That Failed.Paris, April 18,\u2014Deputy Andrieux assorts that on the eve of the election of M.Carnot to the Presidency he was suddenly summoned to a meeting at M.Laguerre\u2019s house, at which MM.Clemenceau, Laisant, Granet, Lockroy, Drefus, Rochefort, Deroulede, Boulanger and others were occupied in forming a cabi- inet to enable M.Grevy to retain office and thus thwart M.Ferry\u2019s aspirations to the Presidency.The meeting offered M.Andrieux the presidency of the cabinet.M.Andrieux declining to include Gen.Boulanger in the cabinet, the latter consented to hold aloof MM.Grevy, however, insisted upon resigning.M.An- drieux heard Gen.Boulanger utter nothing as alleged.\u2014_\u2014 Like Half a Dollar \u201c About 8 years ago my feet and legs became poisoned, and came out in great sores as large as a half dollar which ate in almost to the bone.After the failure of other remedies, the sores were completely healed by one bottle of Burdock Blocd Bitters,\u201d Joseph Gonyon, Tup- perville, Ont, HAVE NO EQUAL AS A PROMPT ANd positive cure for sick headache, biliousness, constipation, pain in the side, and all liver Nerrow ribbons for the throat are again ! _RAILWAYS.| Trains Leave Montreal From WINDSOR STREET STATION : A.M.\u2014* Day Express for St.Joan's, 9.00 Farnham, Nowport.Manchester | Nashua, Boston, and New Englana points, via Montreal ard Foston Air Line.;

Forty days fast.How will a beefsteak go now?Thatis what a good many devout people are saying after lent.Fish is all very well in its way, but a lengthy course of it is \"unpleasant.Therefore, all tha markets yesterday presented a busy scene of preparation for the trade to-day.The meat display was a remarkably fine one in every way.This is notto be wonderad at, when the fact is considered that all the dealers lay themselves out to secure the choicest of viands and in profuse quantity, for those whose forty days of abstinence will make them appreciate them all the more.The butchers, of course, were conspicuous in their display of decorations, but the meat was of such quality that it was a display in itself that appealed far more materially to the senses than all the paper rib- ben that could be manufactured from now until the day when Gabriel toots.(Une portion of the community spent Good Friday in making these prepara- ons, Others, and the envied part of the com- munity\u2014those who had a holiday \u2014speat it as they thought fit.Some, it is to be hoped, a good number, went to church, others did not, and the newspaper reporters to their offices, wondering where the news was to come from.This latter rtion of the community are never al- owed to lay off.The public wants news and news must be furnished them.Therefore the writer for the daily papers has to be on time to try his best to get it.On ordinary days he generally doas, but on Good Friday and other holidays the imaginative reporter who is kept in stock, is allowed full play, assisted, of course, by his confreres to the best of their ability.But the great mass of the paople set apart this day to enjoyment, and it was a day that could be enjoyed.It was warm and sunny; in fact, a regular June day in April, and every one who was on outing bent was happy.Some went bicycle riding and others\u2014the majority\u2014 took à walk and they had plenty of places to walk to.Cote St.Antoine and its vicinity appeared to be the favorite spot, and if one was tired tha street cars could be utilized to return home.HERALD reporter was one of thoss who visited our prettiest suburb.He went out for the purpose of paying a visit to the M, A, A.A, grounds, and was fully repaid for hig trouble, He did not walk, however, 1.8 horse cara werd good enough for him.The grounds were in first-class condition to the eye at least, and were visited by many.The sward was as level as a board and the track hardening just right; so it is safe to say that they will soon be in condition for the season.One thing struck the writer more than anything else, and that was the view from the grand stand.It was superb.Those who attend lacrosse matches this summer will have three things for their money\u2014a good game, perhaps, a splendid view, and if the day is hot, the benefit of à cooling breeze from the river bank.With their position and condition the grounds are certainly the finest on the continent.The club house and stand are fast approaching completion and when finished will be complete in every detail.SERVICES IN SEVERAL CHURCHES YESTERDAY.The celebration of the day in the eity churches was appropriate to the occasion.Special preparations had been made by | many of the church choirs and their rendering of many beautiful hymns with earnest exhortations from preachers made the day memorable as one of joy and gladness.The services in the Roman Catholic churches were largely attended, a8 well as were those in the Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist.In mostly all of these there was a nice display of choice plants and flowers, the fragranca from which sweetened the air.The £ervices in Christ Church Cathedral were conducted by Rev.Dr.Norton.Dean Carmichael officiated before a 'arge congregation in St.George's, the services being bright and cheerful.The fact that His Lordship Bishop Bond was to preach drew many worshippers to the church of St James the Apostle.The responses were hearty and spontaneous.The music was bright and harmonious.There was a most impressive service in St.Stephen\u2019s church, which was largely attended, The Ven.Archdeacon Evans preached.Trinity church was beautifully adorned with some rare flowers which, with the music, and sermon delivered by Rev.Canon Mills, made the worshippers happy and joyous.Rev.J.Edgar Hill, pastor of St.Andrew\u2019s church, preached to a largé and interested congregation.The choral portion of the service was admirably rendered by the choir and formed a pleasing feature of the service.St.James\u2019 Methodist church congregation gathered in their new lecture hall, when their pastor, Rev.James Henderson, delivered an interesting and impressive sermon on these words, \u201cIt is finished.\u201d In the afternoon a union love feast, conducted by Rev.Dr.Douglas, was held.Appropriate services were likewise held in St.Bartholomew\u2019s, conducted by Bishop Ussher.SACRED CONCERI IN EHSKINE CHURCH, Erskine Church can accomodate a large number of people, but it was totally inadequate to hold those anxious to hear the combined choirs of Erskine aud Emanuel Churches last evening, when they rendered A.R.Gauls sacred cantata \u201cThe Holy City\u201d and \u201cThe Shadow of Death.\u201d The parts were well balanced, the result being a true and artistic interpretation of these beautiful works, The best numbers of the choirs were \u201cNo Shadows Yonder,\u201d \u201cThey that sow in tears shall reap in joy.\u201d The first part was concluded with a wonderfully spirited rendering of the chorus «Thine is the Kingdom.\u201d \u201cGreat and marvellous are thy works Lord God \u201d was a fitting termination to a fine choral work.The second part was taken up with selections of Passion music.The tenor solos were entrusted to Mrs.Ida G, Stewart, who sang splendidly and with effect.A fine effect was produced in Mr.Robert Lloyd's \u201cA New Heaven and a New Earth\u201d by a portion of the choir stationed in the vestry singing the choral sanctus, \u201cHoly, Holy, Holy.\u201d Mrs.Ramsay sang sweetly the beautifal solo, \u201cThese are they which came out of great tribulations,\u201d as did Miss Amos\u2019 Eye Hath Not Seen.\u201d Miss Elliott was heard to advantage in \u201cCome Ye Blessed of My Father,\u201d Mr.Bennet was rather wea< in his pumber.Mr.Duquette sang well, his deep bass

competent bande.The concert was an uu- yualified success and undoubted!y due to the untiring labours of Mr.R.5.Weir, who wielded the baton well, having full control of his forces.The organ accom- animent and solos were played by Mr.W.Ileyner, who contributed in no small degree to the success of the concert.A collection was taken up in aid of the Protestant Infants\u2019 Home.lated produced a SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.Laerosse, THE SEASON TO OPEN NEXT WEEK, The Sepior Shamrocks will play the Torontos in Toronto on the Queen's Birthday.The M.A.A.A had decided to open their new grounds for the season on the 25th May and wished the Shamrocks to play them, but owing to their prior engagement with the Torontos, it 13 doubtful if they can do so.It is more than \"likely that the opening will be postponed for a few days.JUNIOR BIHAMROCKS.A meeting of the Junior Shamrocks was held last evening in St.Aun\u2019s Hall, corner of Ottawa and Young streets.A lot of routine business was transacted and 1t was decided to commencs practice for the season next week.Several appli- caions were received from prominent players belorging to other junior clubs asking to be admitted to membership.The prospects of this club are of the brightest hue, and it is on the cards that tbey will eclipse their record of last season.Bicycle.TOE MONTREAL CLUB\u2014INAUGURATE THE SEASON WITH A RUN TO BLUE BONNETS, Yesterday was a fine day for thos» wishing to enjoy a day\u2019s outing.Among the many who took advantage of the sunshine were the Montreal Bicycle Club, who had their first run of the season.The wheeled knights mustered at the Club House thirty-five strong.At half-past two Capt.E.W.Barlow gave the order to mount, and immediately thereafter led the procession.The first Lieut, Louis Rubenstein, was the whip- per-in.The route taken was by way of Sherbrooke street, Cote St.Antoine, Mackay Hill, the upper Lachine Road to Blue Bonnets.The roads wera in fair condition, several places being broken up with a little dust flying.There were very few mishaps, which enabled the boys to enjoy their outing.Arrived at Blue Bonnets a jolly time was spent with, songs, piano solos, ete, among the contributers being Mesirs.F.W.Gross, Levesque, Adams, L.Rubenstein and others, The city was reached after an enjoyable and pleasant afternoon\u2019s outing at half-past five.If the weather is favorable the club will go to Lachine this afternoon.The fixtures for next week are: Tuesday evening 8 o'clock, Athletic Club House.the Thursday morning, Mountain Park.The club in all likelihood will be well represented at Ottawa on the 24th of May.6 o'clock, Athletics.THE NEW GROUNDS OF THE M.A.A.A.AT COTE ST.ANTOINE BEING PUT INTO SHAPE\u2014 A VERY FAST TRACK FOR THIS YEAR.A large number of the \u201cboys\u201d wended their way out to the new.grounds of the M.A.A A.at Cote St.Antoine, to take in the situation and see for themselves what was being done by the directors as to getting the track and grounds in fit shape for the coming season.A number of men were busy filling up the ruts in the grass track in readiness for the lacrosse games to be played.These, however, were very few, and in another week the management will have as fine a lacrosse ground as any lover of the national game would wish to put foot upon.The cinder path is, considering the climatic influences to which it hes been subjected, in very fair shape, and when the top dressing has been put on and the track properly rolled it will be the fastest track in the Dominion.The capacions club house, under the active superintendence of Mr.James Paton, is fast nearing completion and when finished will be a handsome adjunct to ,what is aptly termed the premier athletic grounds of Canada.THE SPRINTERS TO BEGIN TRAINING ON TIE NEW TRACK THIS AFTERNOON.Owing to the extremely favourable state of the cinder track yesterday afternoon at the M.A.A.A.grounds, the crack sprinters of the association decided last evening to start training on it this afternoon.During the winter they have undergone a strict course of fraining in the gymnasium, and in consequence they will require very little preparation to fit them for the early races.Baseball.AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.At Columbus\u2014 R.H.E.Columbus.\u2026.\u2026 1020 02000\u20145 7 8 Baltimore.: 26131004 1\u2014 18222 Battery\u2014Cunningham and Cantz; Mays
