disorderly meeting of unemployed workingmen was held at New Lichenfeld, a suburb of this city, to-day, which culminated in a serious riot.The mob stoned the police and rushing upon wae pounce guard m demolished it, seriously wounding the cfficer in charge.They also plundered a wire and spirit shop and finally set fire to it and prevented the fire department from approaching.Meanwhile another portion of the mob pillaged a number of shops kept by Jews and severely beat the inmates.The police were powerless to stay the fury of the riot, and the troops were ordered out.The military were obliged to fire several volleys of blank cartridges before the mob could be dispersed.; Another tavern was sacked by the rioters, who smashed all its windows and battered down its doors.They then hurled stones at passing vehicles, It required two squadrons of cavalry and a battalion of infantry to disperse the mob.Fourteen policemen were wounded and 37 ricters were arrested.JR MATTHEWS\u2019 INFLEXIBLE JUSTICE A Howl from Morbid Sentimentalists.LoxpoN, April 8.\u2014A storm of indignation against Home Secretary Matthews for the hanging of Richard Davies to-day is raging fiercely and increasing in violence as the facts in the case become known.If is now alleged that the appeal for clemency, which was made to the Queen, elicited a telegram from Her Majesty to the Home Secretary recommending the exercise of executive forbearance in the case, which recommendation, it is charged, Mr.Matthews deliberately ignored.This statement has added very much to the intensity of the feeling against Mr.Matthews, and his disregard of the Queen\u2019s suggestion will likely be utilized by his opponents in the House of Commons as a lever to oust him from the cabinet, 1f possible.\u2014\u2014\u2014 A GIGANTIC EDITION.Five Million Copies of Stanley\u2019s Work.Loxpon, .\u2018, 1 &\u2014Thbe Sampson-Low Company, the publishers of Stanley\u2019s new book, * Darkest Africa,\u201d have completed arrangements to issue five million copies of the work, an undertaking which they deem abundantly warranted by the number and extent of the orders for the book already received.The book will be printed in fifteen different languages.ce THE PENSION TO MRS.PARNELL.Unfaverable British Comment.LoNDoN, April 8.\u2014The action of the American House of Representatives Pension Committee, in reporting in favor of granting a pension to Mrs.Parnell on account of the services of her father in the United States navy, has caused a good deal of comment here, and has revived all the old stories about the neglect of her son to provide for her.Most of the papers agree that political motives, in view of the importance of the Irish vote, were at the bottom of the congressional action, and regard it as a disreputable means to a doubtful end.eo AN EVENT IN THE GLADSTONE FAMILY.The G.0.M.'s Taunt to the Conservatives.Loxpox, April 8.\u2014A notable company Westminster, this morning to witness the baptism of a grandchild of Mr.Gladstone, who, with Mrs, Gladstone and other members of the family, was one of the earliest arrivals, After the ceremony, the ex-Premier was surrounded by the company, among whom were a number of his political opponents, and subjected to a general hand-shaking, On his way to London, Mr.Gladstone was presented with anaddress at Weybridge.In acknowledgment of this compliment he spoke for ten or fifteen minutes on the political questions of the day and took occasion to roundly denounce the Government for its recent perfidious practices, The present ministry, he declared, were merely usurpers and intraders and dared not submit their claims to represent a majority of the electors to the test of a general election, though they would be forced to do so ere long.THE IRISH LAND BILL.Mr.Gladstone\u2019s Latest Commentary.LONDON, April 8\u2014Mr.Gladatone, addressing a number of deputations at the railroad station at Tring to-day, said the Government's Irish land purchase bill was in a fishy condition judging from the manner of its reception even by the friends of the Government.It would be awkward, he said, if after the loan had been made the debtors should repudiate it onthe ground that they were forced to borrow._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A Distinguished Gathering: BERLIN, April 8\u2014The Emperor at

in mass meeting yesterday and agreed to join the United Miners\u2019 Association in a body.[They assessed themselves two cents per ton per month a man for the purpose of creating a national defince fund maintaining one national organiza tion.At Phillipsburg this p.m.two thousand five hundred men met in mass meetinz and took similar action.The pur capita tax collected from the miners will amount to $125,000 annually.The first action of the new organization will be to introduce a uniform wage scale for dead work, which, it adopted, means a material increase in the cost of coal to many operators._\u2014\u2014\u2014 FROM MEXICO AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, Chinese Smugglied Into ithe United States.WasHIZGTON, April 8.\u2014The Sécretary of thie Treasury to-day directed that ad- ditior.al force be sent to the collectors at Santiago, Cal., to assist him preventing Chinese coming in at that point.The ¢ lector has already arrested thirteen Chivese while attempting to cross the border of Mexico into this country.These Chinese came over with 74 othsr Chinamen from Pekin, were transferred in the bay at San Francisco and landed at a point in Lower California which is uuder Mexican jurisdiction.These Chinamen worked their way up, and are now, under cover ofnight, trying to enter the United States.Assistant Secretary Tichenor says that the Chinese are by every pretext endeavoring to get into this country from British America on the north aud from Mexico on the south, under cover of the law, as merchants, etc.and that the utmost exertions oa the part of the government can hardly prevent some of them from smuggling themselves into this country.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHINESE EMIGRATION TO THE U.8.Allegations of Fraud Not Proven.\u2018WasmiNgTON, April 8.\u2014The secretary of the treasury sent to the Senate to-day, in response to a resolution adopted March 28th, a statement of the arrival and departure of Chinese persons from the port of San Francisco from August 2nd, 1882.The secretary says that an examination of the files and records of the office discloses many allegations of infractions of the law relating to tho exclusion of Chinese laborers, bui except in a very few instances the allegations are not supported by tangible or reliable proof.The alleged violations appear to consist mainly in the use of fraudulent certificates; in the smuggling across the norrhern and southern frontiers of Chinese laborers; and in the existence among Chinese residents in this country and Canada of a general system for the fraudulent landing of Chinese laborers within the territory of the United States.No proofs of these allegations are on file so far as the secretary knows concerning complicity of officers of the Government in such fraudulent transactions.The statement prepared by the Bureau of Statistics shows that there arrived from Caina at the port of San Francisco during the months ending December 31,1889, 88: Chinese persons.: JE MOVE IN THE BURCHELL TRIAL Application to Prevent a Publication.Toronto, April 8.\u2014Mr.Hellmuth, of London, applied to Justice MacLennan to-day in court on behalf of J.R.Burchell, now awaiting his trial at Woodstock on the charge of murdering Bean- well, for a rule nisi calling upon the editor and proprietor of the Fireside Weekly to show cause why he should not be committed for Contempt in publishing, aud be prohibited from publishing, an advertisement announcing a comiug serial story entitled, \u201cWho killed Beuwell?or, The Mystery of Blen Heim Swamp,\u201d and from publishing such story, upon the ground that the publication is calculated to prejudice a fair trial of Burchell and is besides contempt of court, which should be brought to the notice of the court and punished.The application was, of course, ¢x-parte.Hellmuth proved by affidavits the publication of a paper containing the advertisement, and by affidavit of his own showed the prejudice to his clients.After a considerable amount of discussion between the judge and the counsel and reference to authorities the motion was enlarged till to-morrow for the purpose of looking more closely into the matter.Justica McLennan stated that his chief difficulty is saying that there was a prima facie contempt of court lay in the fact that it did not appear what court the case was in or that it was in any court.He did not suppose if could be contempt of the High Court.Hellmuth\u2019s motion apers were entitled in the Qaeen\u2019s Bench division, Regina vs.Burchell.Burchell stands committed for trial by coroner's warrant, and also by that of the Police Magistrate at Niagara Falls, but, of course, has not yet been before a grand jury.The question is rather a knotty one of procedure and practice.The result will be seen to-morrow.\u2014 Writ for Ottawa Election.OTTAWA, April 8,\u2014The writ for the election in Uttawa will be issued to-morrow.Democratic Victory in Albany.ALBANY, N.Y.,

during the past year, and also figures regarding the routine work af the Garden.The members of the sub-committee are expected to arrive from Washington this evening, when the actual work of the in- vestigation will be begun.A COWARDLY CRIME.Attempt at Dynamiting a Belleville Family.FUNERAL OF THE LATE SHERIFF CHAUVEA, Stormy and Excited Meeting of Ottawa Conservatives.A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.Attempt

cortege to the Basilica, where the funeral service was held.The body of the vast edifice was occupied by the professors and students of Laval University and the Seminary, the members of the deceased

tapers, was deluged with floral offerings, iocluding a beautiful wreath from the Princess Louise and Lord Lorne.Cardinal T'as- chereau performed the last rites over the remains in the Basilica, after which they were transferred to the chapel of the Ursuline Monastery, where his wife and several children are interred.Coroner Belleau resumed the inquest this morning on the body of Gunner Ferguson, when Dr.Lavoie, professor of toxicology at Laval University, gave the result of his analysis and the jurors rendered the following verdict, * Death from asphyxia induced by the sucking into the windpipe of meat aud other articles of half digested food which were being ejected from the stomach by the act of vomiting, and the vomiting was caused by the action of a substance containing oxalic acid.\u201d There was a very large gathering of relatives, friends and invited guests at St.Matthew\u2019s Church this morning to witness the marriage of Mr.John Laird, the T'nion Bank, with Miss

of the association.It was found that the constitu- ton world not permit the election of officers, but a certain element wanted tais business disposed of.Fortwo hours the point of order was discussed.Shouts, yelis, and cat calls served to create a perfect pandemonium.The meeting finally adjourned till the 21st, when sf£cers will be elected.Mr.À.J.Christie, ene of the candidates, was holding forth vhen somebody turned out the gas.Mr.C.H.McKintosh, who appeared to have the sympathy of the meeting, did not put in an appearance.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NOTES FROM ST.JOHN, N.B.An Absurd Piece of Legislation\u2014Case of Infanticide.Sr.JomN, N.B., April 8\u2014Hon.Mr.Mitchell's bill in the Local House yester- tay to amend the pbarmaceutical act of 1884, which means forbidding the sale of all poison by druggists, except on a physician's order, is likely to cause rouble, especially among wholesatô îrms.H.A.Barker, of the firm of T.B.Barker & Son, who was seen to-day by jeur correspondent, said it would shut 1p entirely the trade in this line of the vholesale druggists of New Brunswick.Such a bill was not in force in any other Province and the country dealers would Jkely send their orders to Nova Scotia.This afternoon a delegation of St.John druggists go to Fredericton to interview the Legislature on the subject.The body of a new born babe was jound on Courtnay Bay sands yesterday.The body was naked, and undoubtedly been dropped over a wharf the night be- jore.It was found before the tide rose to wash it out to sea.Infantcide is becoming

aundred feet long, was divided almost to the base into three peaks, eaeh about seventy feet in height.Had the weather been thick, they would have had a narrow escape from colliding with the borgs, as it was they had to change the course they were steering several times to escape them.The steamer Circassian, which sails from Liverpool on Tuesday for this port, with the weekly mail, will be the last mail boat of the season to come here.The Sardinian is advertissd to leave Liverpool onthe 17th for Quebec and Montreal.The Caspian will be the first SUBSCRIPTION $6.00 PER ANNUM fax tLis season.She

meeting of the License Commissioners and pressnted a petition from the botel men of the city protesting against the new license regulations as tothe manner in which bar rooms shall be kept during prohibited hours.The petition sets forth tbat the hotel men fail to see any good purpose can be served by adopting the regulations.The effect would not be to lessen the sale of liquor in places where liquors are sold contrary to law, but rather to increase it by having it drunk in less conspicuous rooms and other places in the house.An application was filed in the Surrogate Court tc-day for probate of the will of the late William G.Perley, M.P., of this city, by Mrs.Perley.M.G.H.Perley and Mr.E.E.Webb, son-in-law of the deceased member.The personal estate is valued at $832,000 and the

OHIO.Leaving Dead and Dying in Its Track.CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 8.\u2014A cyclone struck Norwalk, Ohio, about 5 p.m.today.The storm came from the northe west and swept a track about half a mile wide from the eastern limits of the city, quite a long distance into the country.The umbrella factory of Sprague & French was in the path of the cyclone.À part of the building, in which about thirty young women were employed, was crushed like an eggshell.Many of the girls escaped, but others were caught in the falling building.Dora Palmer, aged 19, received fatal injuries, and died in a short time.Her skull was crushed.Nellie Harding was seriously injured about the head and upper part of the body.Miss Brush had her collar bone broken and was otherwise injured.Several other girls, whose names cannot be learned, received injuries.A dozen barns were blown down and other smallk buildings wrecked.Trees were uprooted and fences torn down in all directions.The force of the wind was unprecedented in this section.At seven o'clock this evening another terrific storm visited the city, the wind blowing, and hailstones as large as hickory nuts falling, smashing windows and demolishing greenhouses, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A BLOW AT PRODUCE GAMBLING.Recommendation of the Agricultural Committee, \u2018WasHINGTON, April 8.\u2014Chairman Fun- ston, of the House Committee on Agriculture, submitted a report to-day, recommending the passage of the Butter- worth bill to prevent dealings in options and futures by imposing special taxes on deslers in them.The report is signed by the full committee.It is stated in the report that the bill is intended to apply to that class of transactions conducted in the bucket shop and grain pits of the country known as \u201cputs and calls,\u201d including the whole range of mere speculative gambling in fictitious farm products.\u201cIt does not affect injuriously,\u201d says the report, \u201cany legitimate trace or dealer iu farm staples.It seeks to and does impose on internal revenue tax upon those dealers in grain, corn, cotton and pork, who, as a rule, never see, own or handle a peck or pound of the article they sell.It applies to dealers whose transactions bave the least possible reference to the supply, and still less reference to the demand for consumption; who are not concerned whether the harvests are blighted or bountiful.The bill which in terms affects transactions for futura delivery which are innocent in themselves and do no harm to anyone is yet intended to reach that class of speculators only who sell what they do not own, with no purpose or intent, near or remote, require little capital or stock in trade and yet who sell in the bucket shops and pits of the United States every thirty days, more wheat than is grown.in the whole world in one year; thus in.great measure destroying legitimate trade and driving merchants and traders angaged therein from the field and fore- ing the price of farm products below the cost of production, rendering the calling of the farmers unprofitable and degrading toil.\u201d \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 STRIKES IN CHICAGO.High Pay for Journeymen Plnmbers.CurcaGo, April 8\u2014The plumbers\u2019 strike is still om, as all the difficulties between the two sets of belligerents have not yet been adjusted.At last night\u2019s conference the master plumbers agreed to pay a minimum of $3.50 a day for all journeymen and an increase of 25 per cent.for the juniors.The journeymen plumbers are satisfied with the advauce, although it was by no meaus

plentiful in every branch, but it seems as if the insatiable maw of our great city rises equal to every holiday occasion, and no mate ter how great the supply it is scarcely possible to exceed the demand.Of tae grand weat shown specially for the Easter trade but very little remains on band, and in fact thé same may be said in nearly every branch of business.The rapid approach of the summer season, with the seasonable change in demand in some branches, makes the market preity lively, and most traders spoken to have a buoyant tone in anticipation of a good summer business.° There 18 little if any change in the meat market since Saturday, though the market in general has a drooping tendency, and prices in some instances are slightly lower, MEATS.Beer-First quality from 12:@15: per

gloowy, tue distance was misty, aud in toe foreground the grand river view showed a beavy rclling flocd, dull in color and 2p- parently thick as ine proverbial pes soup.Heavy and dull as was the prospect, however, it was an agreeable change from the everlasting monotony of the snow-covered plain, which has been tue aspect for 80 many dreary winter months.The ice is nearly all away, only an oc casional hammock of lake ice floating down quietly tells of what has been.The river is at a lower level now than for years past at the time of change, and hopes are high that it will not rise again even sufficiently to test tbe protecting dyke.Assome of the market people expressed themselves, Father St Laiw- rece seems frightened at the dyke; and well he may be.A more horrible monstrosity never disgraced a city front, and no sooner has the time past when it is needed for protection, than those doing business along the river front seem to awake to its ugliness.There was a time when the city as seen from the river presented a lively scene, and what with the grandeur of the buildings rising back to O:d Mount Royal, and tlie quaint picturesqueness of the foreground, was apt to live a long time in the memorv of the traveller.Now in its horrible monotony it can only be be beaten by the view to riverward, as seen by the pedestrian on Commissioners street.It is a consummation to be devoutly wished for that the projected improvement tn the docks will restore something cf the old time aspect of the city front.In the coming improvement i* is to bs hoped also that the city authorities will evolve some scheme to rescue the sidewalks of Commissioners strest from the warebousemen and carters, and leave a free patsage for ordinary citizens, It does not seem beyond the bounds of possibility to insist on the storekeepers and merchants arranging some plan of delivering their goods by bridges over the heads of foot passengers to the vehicle standing in the roadway.The present plan of backing a waggon right across the sidewalk to the doors of the warehouse and driving the padestrian out into the mud if he wants to pass can never have been anticipated when the street was laid out, and it citizens know anything, will not be allowed much longer.If the warehousemen have a vested interest in the sidewalk\u2014buy them out\u2014if not, force them to recognize the rights of fel- low-taxpayers.dozen \u2014 BOSTON PRODUCE MARKETS.BosTox, April 8.Burrer\u2014The market is quiet, with prices in the buyers\u2019 favor, There is a fair supply of Western creameries,

friends of the Protestant Orphans\u2019 Home was held in that institution yesterday afternoon.The attendance of ladies was very large.Among the gentlemen present were His Lordship Bishop Bond, who presided, Rev.Principal Barbour, Rev.G.Osborne Troope, Rev.J.A.Newn- pam, Rev.James Patterson, Rev.E.M.Hill, Rev.A.G.Upham and others.The proceedings opened with devotional exercises conducted by Rev.rincipal Barbour.\u2019 The Bishop read letters of regret for inability to be present from Very Rev.Dean Carmichael, Rev.8.P.Rose an: Rev.R.Lindsay.Speaking of the extensions to the Home, His Lordship arged upon those present to see what bad been done, and &0 well done, by the ladies.He had great faith in the ladies as interior managers.He then read the annual report, which referred to the causes of delay in removing the inmates to allow of the exten- gions being made.The delays were occasioned by the measles, whooping cough and la grippe taking hold of the inmates, matron and nurses.After overcoming many trials the inmates were returned to the old and new premises on the 24th of February.The Home is now large and commodious, suitable and convenient for the carrying on of its work, It is a monument of Christian philanthropy and liberality worthy of our city.The response to the appeal for funds was widespread and generous, both from the general ublic and many old friends, an evidence of the confidence in and recognition of the value of the work.The sum of $5,824.25 has been received for the nilding Fund.} Sir Donald Smith has offered to give the last $1,000 towards the addition, When it is received there will be sufficient to pay for all the alterations and additions.The Building Committee deserve special mention and hearty thanks for faithfulness, zeal and untiring efforts in looking after and trying to hurry on the work.During the year $1,000, the bequest of the la.e Thomas Workman ; $500 from the estate of the late Matthew Campbell, and $500, the bequest of the late George Rogers, have been received and applied to the building fund.Other bequests have been made that on account of the conditions attached the reception of gome of them, even at a very distant date, is extremely doubtful.Feeling reference was made at the loss sustained by the deaths of three active workers, viz, Mrs.James Hutton, Mrs.R.B.Blake and Mrs.David Davidson.At the commencement of the year April 1st, 1889, there were 28 children in the Home.Since then 26 have been admitted, making a total of 54 Of this number 21 have been removed by parents gr friends, 1 having attained the age of five years has been transferred to the orphan asylum, 2 have been adopted, 10 died, and 20 remain in the Home.Of the total number 10 were the children of widowers, 4 of widows, 7 with mothers sick, and 2 with mothers in the lunatic asylum, 3 with fathers sick, 1 with father inthe lunatic asylum, 10 of deserted wives, or one or both parents drunkards, and 17 illegitimate.The daily average number of children in the Home has been 21, largest numb:r 28, and the smallest 18, At the commencement of the year, Avril 1st, 1889, there were seven women with infants in the Home.Since then eleven women with their infants have entered the Home, three married, eight unmarried.For the reasons already given the work has been small compared with former years.We now have accommodation for a much larger number of mothers with tbeir infants.The death rate for this year is a little over eighteen per cent., which is small when the prevalance of three epidemics in the Home is taken into consideration and also the unfavorable circumstances under which the work has been carried on.Two children have been adopted this Year, making a total of 101 since the ome was established.The thanks of the managers were extended to all who had in any way assist ed them in carrying on their work.Rev.G.Osborne Troope read the financial statement, showing the income of the year to be $5,542.03 and the disbursements $3,068.05, leaving a balance on hand of $2,473.98.The report of the building fund showed the receipts to be $11,961.84, and the expenditure $10,- 709.90, leaving a balance of $1,271.74.The total cost of the extensions amounteq to about $13,000.The report of the medical board was read by Dr.W.Grant Stewart, which showed that owing to the prevailing epidemics thers had been an unusual amount of sickness in the Home.He testified to the zeal and faithfulness of the matron and nurses.It was moved by Rev.James Patter- fon, seconded by Rev.A.G.Upham,

this looks very nice on paper, but how can bogs be raised without corn?It is a well known fact that Canada imports a large quantity to-day, and that Canada® is not a corn-raising country, and never can be.For one farmer in the Province of Quebec who has pork to sell, ten are under the necessity of buying it.If the Government really wish to consult the interests of the farmer, why do they not allow corn in free for feeding purposes ?Surely, it would be much more seemly, and much more in the interest of the farmer, than to allow it in free, as they do, to be used for distilling purposes, a distinction which is a disgrace, and unworthy of any body of true men.The action of the American Government in placing a prohibitory duty on eggs, barley, beans, buckwheat, etc, will be a sore blow to the Canadian farmer, and, surely, he would be justified in thinking that any change in the tariff made by the Canadian Parliament would be, if possible, to alleviate, the consequences of the Americans\u2019 determination to shut out their produce ; but we find instead that our Government propose increasing the farmer\u2019s burden by doubling the tariff on goods imported largely for comsumption by the farmer and the workingman.How a farmer in Canada is going to make a living and bring up his family in comfort is becoming a problem which may well occupy the minds of our legislators, instead of how they may please small cliques of selfish individuals.If our farms are mortgaged now, what will they do with one of their largest markets closed against them and higher prices asked for the very necessaries of life ?If our young men have been leaving the province of Quebec, they will then leave in redoubled numbers.The province of Quebec is deeply interested in this matter, and every Quebec constituency will expect to see its member take a stand against it.Should the proposed legislation become law, it may be well numbered among the many blunders that the present Government have made, and every well-minded man should make up his mind that they will not have the opportunity of making many more.The desires for reciprocity and annexation already run high.Why add fuel to the fire ?MERCHANT, = Epps\u2019s CoCOA.\u2014URATEFUL AND COMFORT- 1NG\u2014\u201cBy a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operas tions of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr.Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 bills.It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to re sist every tendency to disease.Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us réady to attack wherever there is a weak point.We may escape man a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves we fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame.\u201d Civil Service Gazette.\u2014Made simply with boiling water or milk.Sold only in packets, by grocers labelled\u2014\u201cJamæs Epps & Co, Homeeo- pathic Chemists, London Eng, Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.STEAMSHIPS.DOMINION LINE ROYAL MAIL STEAMERS.BEAVER LINE, |FEFORD'S ACENGIES.= = i The Canada Shipping Co's.LINE OF STEAMERS BETWEEN Boston, New York and Liverpool.Comprising the following First-class, Clyds built, \u2018powered Iron Steamehips.Lake Ontario, Capt.H.Campbell, 5,300 To Lake Superior, Wn: Blowart.200 ns Lake Huron, * P.D.Murray, 4,100 \u2018* Lake Winnipeg,\u201c F.Carey, 8,300 * Lake Nepigon, \u201c \u20ac.F.Horriman.3,806 Winter Sailings, 1890, From LIVERPOOL From BOSTON Mar.6.Lake Ontario.Mar.% From NEW YORK Mar.27.Lake Superior\u2026 Apr.15 Apr.3.Lake Huron.Apr.22 Spring Sailings From Montreal Direct.From LIVERPOOL From MONTREAL Fri.Apr.11.Lake Nepigon.Tues, Apr, 2) Apr.18.Lake Ontario.* May 6 \u201c Apr.25.Lake Winnipeg., * May 13 * May 2.Lake Superior.\u201c May 2) \u201c4 May 9 ake Huron.,, \u2018\u201c May 27 es ene vier June 3 The steamers connect at Boston direct by T&il for ail ints in Canada, Manitoba North-West Territories and United States, t.which through tickets are issued.These steamers are builtin water-tight come ents, and of special stron;

work in a lawyer's offica along with lecture on law, Jay reader work along with tbe study of Divinity, and the bedside of the patient to supplement the study of medicine and surgery.He hoped to see the day when University training wonid be appreciated as if was in the so-called dark days, when Oxford had its 30,000 students, and Bologna, &c., as many in in proportion.He also congratulated then on the passing of the B.A.degree bill by the Provincial Goverument.\u2018The large number present that afternoon testified to the great interest being taken in education.Dean Dr.F.W.Campbell chen read the examination list, in which he said that thirty-six offered themselves for examination, twenty-seven from the Province of Quebec, three Ontario, three United States, three West Indies.The examinations had been very successful, the students had all worked hard and been very attentive to their duties.The ugnal vath was then administered, the M.D.was granted the graduates whose names have already appeared in Tue Hrrain, and the prizes wera distributed.Dr.J.Laurie then read the valedictory address, in which he recounted the happy cays spent during the four years\u2019 study.Dr.Ress addressed the graduating class, and congratulated them on the successful compleiion of theirstudies for the past four years.The field before them was a new one, their own resources must guide them in their life\u2019s career for the iuture, and it was now a case of \u201cfull steam abead.\u201d If their work had been hard in the past, so must it be in the future, for about the worst thing that could be said of a man was that he was behind his time.Let it be rather their aim, pot only to keep pace with the latest discoveries in their chosen profession, but be in advance of them, and if possible by original work of their own.Tre more they advanced in medical knowledge, the more would they be impressed with the abundant opportunities open tothem in a profession like theirs, which was never at a standstill, They weuid find earnest workers in the field before them ; let them make their reputation amongst these for hard work and constant endeavor.Let them continu- slly exercise careful and accurate observation, which would enable them to skilfully apply their theoretical knowledge tu the different problems that presented tbemeeives for solution, for students they must continue to be to the end, if they would prosper.Although relief of suffering may appear as the principal object in life to the profession, the science of medicine was one of prevention as well as cure.It was true that mankind, of whatever race, language, religion or place in the human grade, united to respect and love the man who alleviated misery, who wipad away the tear of sorrow, or relieved any form of suffering; but the task of givicg such enlightenment as would act like a beacon to warn from future danger must be theirs quite as muck where the circumstances called for it.During the first year or two he wou'd advise them to direct their energies towards the acquirement of the modern languages, if not already proficient in them.The progressive physician of the day must be able to, at least, read French and German, if he would keep pace with the march of scientific work and current medical literature in the old world, the record of which was not uniformly translated into English.They should als» read the best medical journals and mak » a systematic study of them.The profi:- ableness of this course would quickly demonstrate itself to them.Let them not Le discouraged by failure, for that overtook everyone occasionally, but let them | strive to comprehend that philosophy, ! which teaches us that nature was subject | to certain fixed laws, that 8o far as these ; laws were concerned she never erred ; these laws beld as good in the animal body a8 arart from it, and that nature { surely revenged hereelf for aay infringe- { ent thereof.In conclusion he said that no matter \"bow their fortunes may vary in the wider sphere on which they were now i about to enter, they must ever owe filial | gratitude to their alma mater, which ! locked to them to keep unsullied that : guarantee of honor and trustworthiness testowed upon them that afternoon.The Chancelior then called upon \u2018the Rev.Principal Adams to read | his annual address, during which he .8aid the work of this faculty shows what {can be done by able, persevering and | disinterested\u2014because unremunerated\u2014 | men in keeping up the standard of medi- i cal education in the city and province without any endowment.At the same time endowment was required and de- , sired, and it was hoped that the princely \u2018examples of such givers as George | Stephen, Donald A.Smith, Thomas Workman and William C.Macdonald might be followed by others who should © catch the noble infection.Such gifts as : these were national, not local only, and could not be monopolized even by the | direct recipients.The gradual and , Bleady progress of the institution , at Tennoxville was also briefly | alluded to, and the increase of seveaty- i five per cent.in number of attendants in the classes in college and school there mentioned.Room was urgently needsd even at the present moment, and it was hop d that during the present year cou- wide rable addition would be made, for which more than $10,000 had been aub- scribed in the year 1889, The passage of the B.A.bill, or \u201cthe enfranchisement of the university students,\u201d was referred to as a probanle factor in future progress of the univers.ty ; all who promoted the success of that bill deserve our gratitude, not least that able supporter of the bill, the Premier of tbe province, Mr.Mercier, In congratulating the faculty on the work of the year, and the graduates on their winning an honorable step, the Principal urged the need of many qualities, ard under the borrowed title of * Notes or thoughts on the threshold,\u201d several of these qualities were dwelt upon, especially self reliance, self distrust or madesty, self denial, or forgetfulness of the selfish claim of self, and lastly and and most essentially, self control.Self reliance would prevent self distrust from degenerating into feeble indecision, and self distrust would prevent self reliance from becoming exaggerated into overweening confidence and blind dogmatism.No class of persons needed to forget the claims of self as the minister of health and medical aid, and, as a rule, no profession was more Conspicuously unselÿsh than the medical.Let the new graduates maintain, and, if possible, enrich the heritage, already rich, of their profession, which was not only their posgession but that of humanity, Again self control was like good steering, and without it many a noble bark had made shipwreck.Humane sensitiveness was quite consistent with familiarity with suffering, and there were professional temptatious to be overcome as well as personal ones.Seif control was the reflex of a higher power which might be indwelling, if wa would, in all of us; and let none of us admire intellect without goodness.For that combination was one rather to be feared than to be admired.In conecla- sion, the Principal wished the new additions to the brotherhood of graduates, success in life\u2014the best of all\u2014 moral success.In response to an invitation, Rsv.Dr.Norton, in the course of a short address, said he was taken unawares, us he had not for a moment expected to be called upon to address them.He congratulated them on the large gathering present that day to witness the awarding of the diplomas and distribution of prizis to the successful students.In the old country the universities had great wealth, antiquity and eminence, and when ne first came to this city he had no expectation of finding so much vigor being carried on in education by real energy, which was upsurpassed in any city in the world.He would throw them out a sugz- gestion, as giver him by his old friend, Dr.Lightfoot, Bishop of Durham, who owed his eminence to Charity scholarships, which some people ran down in this country ; bat he did not care what these people said, they were the best investment that could ba made, returning many million times more thap the original endowment, if it only brought forth one scholar of high character and attainments.The professional chairs in many of the colleges only afforded to their occapiers starvation wages.He hoped that others would follow the noble example set them by Mr, McDonald, and give of their plenty not only to McGill but also to the other places of education, wore especially Bishop's College, for the establishment of professors\u2019 chairs on a sound financial vasis, so that a salary could be given commensurate to the holder's ability.The Convocation then closed.DAY TELEGRAMS.CANADIAN NEWS\u2014April 8.OTTAWA.The contract for supplying the paint, etc, for the general repairing of the lighthouses throughout the Dominion hus been awarded to Mr.Wm, Howe, of Ottawa, his tender having been the lowest.The Senate will resume its labors tomorrow afternoon.The bills which will come up for discussion are : Pablic lands, interest, and the patent act amendment.In addition, Senator Howlan will enquire as to the Government's intention in regard to the construction of an iron subway between Prince Edward Island and the main land.Senator Read will ask whether it is the Government's intention to \u201callow United States cattle to be brought into Canada to be slaughtered for exportation without being subject to the quarantine regulations that now exist.\u201d The disagreement at last night's vestry meeting in St.George\u2019s church is the leading topic of conversation to-day.The rector, it is stated, will continue his alleged ritualistic practices.The Ottawa Valley lumberman waited on the Minister of Finance to-day and asked that the present duty on pork remain unchanged.Hon.Mr.Foster promised to give the matter his consideration.TORONTO.The University authorities have received word to-day from Edinburgh that a donation of £500 bas been given tothe University restoration fund there in memory of the late Hon.George Brown, The strike in building trades here has assumed alarming proportions.There are to-day nearly two thousand men out on Strike.Building in the city is seriously interiered with in consequence of tbe strike.Efforts to engage workmen in the United States and England appear to have been unsuccessful.Both sides appear determined not to make any concessions.The strikers are very orderly.About eight hundred builders\u2019 laborers went on strike this morning.G.R.Van Norman, Jr, has been appointed District Freight Agent, representing the freight traffic department of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Detroit.DRESDEN, ONT, A terrible drowning accident occurred rear Croton last night, at about eight o'clock, by which two young ladies lost their lives.Miss Ettie Snarey, aged 17, daughter of John Snarey, and Miss Tres Huffman, aged 19, daughter of Malvin Huffman, were crossing the river in a small boat, accompanied by a young man named Charles Hart, when the boat wag swamped.Hart was unable to save the girls owing to the swift current, The bodies have not yet been found.QUEBEC.A young woman named Berthiaume died suddenly yesterday at Cap Rouge.The inquest wili be held to-day.The ice bridge at Cap Rouge is still firm.Quick Relief for Headache, Hadg suffered with headache, and tried everything I could think of without effect until I used Burdock Blood Bitters, which relieved me right away, and I am now remarkably well.ANNIE TORANGEAN, Glen Almond, Que.| Children Cry for Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.THE AMERICAN CAPITAL.The rrospects of the McKinley Tariff Bill.te Political Rumors and Personal Matters.\u2014_\u2014 SPECIAL CORRESPONDENC OF HERALD.; WASHINGTON, April 4.The indications are that there will be a very general attempt on the part of the Republicans to amend the tariff bill when it reaches the House, 50 as to make it conform with their home interests.There will probably be a caucus held on the measure in due time, but members who believe it will be political death to them to vole against the interests of their districts will insiet upon their right to propose amendments.The committee will have to accede to this, but they protess to be able to bring matters to such an understanding that members, after proposing their amendments and probably having them voted down, will vote for the bill practically as it is.Before the matter settles down, however, there will be a great deal of strong oppo- eition in the House, but Republic«ns generally claim that the bill iu some form will become a law, The men who want free sugar will make a hard fight to have all the duty taken off.The committee will meet them with the statement thatthe revenues will not stand so heavy a cut; that the bill as it stands will make a reduction of abcut $65,000,000, and that the Government cannot stand a greater reduction at this time.This reduction is possible only by ceasing to pay in millions to the sinking fund.On the other band, the sugar men will insist on having a higher duty on sugar than the bill gives, and will make a stubborn fight for it.The committee will meet their attack with the statement that the duty pco- posed in this bill, as deenly cut as it is, ie extraordinarily Bigh, and some significant remarks wiil be made about trusts.The committee will endeavor to overcome all opposition in detail and prevent combinations to enable them to preserve the integrity of their bill and get it through the House.They do not attempt to calculate on what may happen to it in the Senate ; but they look Lo the Western influence, which is stroug in that decorous body, to hold the bill in shape.The rumor has been revived that owing to lli-health Senator Beck, of Kentucky, would resign his position and use his influence for tbe election of ex- Speaker Carlisle as his successor.In the absence of any substantial evidence the repcrts are not credited.Unless his health becomes much worse than at present he will hardly step down.It is popularly believed that if any change should be made in the Senatorial representation from Kentucky ex-Governor McCreary, the present representative from the Eighth district, would be honored by a promotion from the House to the Senate.In the event, however, of ex- Speaker Carlisle being called from the House to the Senate, all indications point to Judge Crisp, of Georgia, as his successor as leader of the Democratic side of the House.Judge Crisp is regarded with great favor by the Democrats, all of whom think that the next House will be Democratic.A great many of them think it would be good policy to elect some one for Speaker who would retaliate on the Republicans for the course pursued by Speaker Reed and endorsed by the majority.In short, if any combinatton of circumstances should withdraw ex- Speaker Carlisle from the House, Judge Crisp is looked upon as his logical suc- cesgor.Three heavy streams of travel, above and apart from normal and usual, are converging on Washington, and the hotels are crowded.The sporting contingent is bere of course, the result of the racing season ; fron the south hundreds of Florida, Georgia and North Carolina excursionists and winter resortists are returning north by way of Washington, and from the north numerous parties are headed south, this far at any rate, Numerous excursionists from all parts of the counfry are quartered atthe various hotels, where the porters are kept active in handling baggage.Altogether the present year promises to exceed ail previous years in the number of Washington excursions.Tkere is no abatement of interest in the Tracy mansion, despite the fact that it is a most desolate and unprepossessing locking spectacle, and singular to say, women betray the most intense longing to visit the scena of the disastrous fire of a few months ago.Pilgrims from different parts of the United States do not inquire 80 eagerly at hotel counters as formerly concerning the route to the \u2018White House, but a majority of questions addressed to clerks are for the most direct method of reaching Secretary Tracy's burned house.Congressman Randall\u2019s present condition 18 much better than it has been at any time since his illness.However, at no time during Mr.Randall\u2019s 1llness has be been incapacitated from giving good advice to those who would indulge in correct political practice.Taat the Pennsylvania Democrats fully realize the value of this advice is attested by the frequent visits made to the sick statesman.ei FITS \u2014All Fits stopped free by Dr.» Kline's Great Nerve Restorer.No Yits after first day\u2019s use.Marvellous cures.Treatise and $2.00 trial bottle free to Fit cases, Send to Dr.Kline, 931 Arch 8t., Phila.Pa.LENNOXVILLE.UNIVERSITY AND SCHOOL OF BISHOP\u2019S COLLEGE.TRINITY TERM\u2014School\u2014Residence begins on Tuesday evening, APRIL Sth.University LECTURES resumed APRIL 11th N.B.\u2014PRINCIPAL ADAMS\u2019 address in Montreal, APRIL 3rd to 8th, 5 Beaver Hall Square.GIBB & COMPANY, HAVING RECEIVED THEIR Spring and Summer Stock of | TAILORING AND HABERDASHERY, ALSO Pattern Suits from Poole, INVITE INSPECTION « ENS EES CIAL GAZETTE WEDNESDAY.POST-OFFICE TIME TABLES FOR APRIL, 1890.DELIVERY.MAILS.|CLosrxa.Ontario & West.Prov.\\A.M.| P.M.and States.\u2014 $1 (a) Ontarioand West.States by G.T.R.9.00] 10.00{Ontario and Western 1 states by C.P.R.8.80| 29.15/(e) Ottawa by RW.9.00| 9.15 C.P R.N°th of Ottawa QE to Pembroke.,.AM.| P.M- 8.80 7,5 7.0.8.00 essere so.British Columbia daily paudayexcp'di.9.15/Canada Atlantic Ry.| 7.45 i 12lu| Alexandrina Glen Rob- 9.30} ertson, vreenfield & alaxvilleby Atlantic Railway .8.30: Hudson, Oka, Como, Rigaud, Carllion, P.Fortune .Quebec Provinces, Sorel, Berthier and Batiscan Bridge by steamer.,.secscous 8.00[8t.Vincent D.P.,Tere- bonne, L\u2019Epiphantle, Liassomption, Joli- ette,Berthier.Louise- ville, Sorel, Three Rivers, Quebeo and Line of North Shore Yeisen 9.00{Quebec and Three Riversby R.W.{() C.P.R.\"Main Line to Ottawa., .C.P.R.Bordeaux, St.Jerome and St.Lin branches ., a.8.401.|C-P.R.St.Jerome and St.Janvier .s\u2026 | 12.25/St.Johns, Abbotsford, St.Fie, Farnham & , abherorooke.: cton & Waterloo R 6.45 Sherbrooke and \u2018Agnes 6.45 Internationi Ry 12.15 Farnnam and\u2019 Sherbrooke.,.sessae ssselcr0c00i 3,00 Laprairie, Hemmiug- \u2019 ford, Hunti ngdon, Dundee, &c., b Ry.| vous .{8t.Hubert, St.Brune aad St.Basile .,, 12.40/St.Hyacinthe, Sherbrooke, Coaticooke, .Clarenceville, Noyan .Acton and Sore \u201c St.Johns.Ky.\u2019 Stanbridge,t Armand Station,St Athanase {Vermont Junction Ry|.Shefford R.W.Line.G.Ligne, Stotuville, anol e, Girard.à Ry, LachineRa + Lacadie, st.Jacques 8-ERy Montreal and Chambly section, ,.,!.9.80|(b) New Brunswick, N Scotia and P.E.1.\",.Newfoundland, forw\u2019d daily on Halifax.Mails despatched from Halifax for;

INTERESTED IN CABS AND GROCERIES.Accounts For Night School Bocks and Stationery That Are Still Unsettled.A meeting of the Water Committea Was held yesterday afternoon, Those present wers Aldermen Conroy, Chairman, Shorey, Savignac, Martineau, Grenier and Hamelin.À communicafion was read from the municipality of Cote St.Paul asking if the city could eupply them with water and also stating that a deputation had been appointed to wait on the Committee in reference to the matter.The Committee dacided to receive the deputation next meeting.Nearly all the afternoon was taken up in an investigation into the managewent of tbe workshops of the depattmeat on Lagauchetiere street.The reporters were excluded from the investigation.The cause of the wbole matter was two anonymous letters which were sent to Ald.Grenier and which were supposed to have been written by a discharged workman.In the letter some very serious charges were made against the way in which the business of the shops was conducted.The letter claimed that if five or six employees were called before tne committee the assertions made would be easily proved.Accordingly there were a number of ths men examined, but the committee failed in every instance to find any truth in the stata- ments made in the anonymous letters.There was not time enough to examine all the men, but it is believed that the charges proved so unwarranted that the investigation will not be carried ahy further.THE POLICE COMMITTEE.At the meeting of the Police Committee held yesterday afternoon there were present: Aldermen Jeannotte (chairman), Wm.Kennedy, Gauthier, Mec- Bride, A.Dubuc and P.Keanedy.The tirst business was the appointmant of a deputy clerk of the Recorder\u2019s Court.\u2018The matter was referred ata former meeting to the Recorder, and a letter was read from him saying that he wisbed to abstain from any expression of opinion in the matter, as the two applicants for the position were both good men.The Recorder favored recognizing seniority, and the Clerk of the Court, Mr.Forget, corsidered Mr, Bienvenu as the best qualified.\u2019 On motion of Ald.P.Kennedy, Mr.Auclaire, who is the senior oflicial, was appointed to the position.The following gratuities wers voted to the widows and families of deceased officers :\u2014 Late Sergeant Hynes, six months\u2019 salary ; acting-Sergeant Dineen, six months\u2019 salary ; Constable Laporte, six montbe\u2019 salary ; Bailiff Prevost, $200, A special repurt will be made to the Finance Committee to raise tha salaries of sergeants to $500, and acting-sergeants to $700 ; Chief Detactive Callen $1,000, and other detectives $900.The chief asked the committea ta be present at the inspection of recruits for the force at the Drill Shed, at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, The chief was instructed to draw up a superannuation and benefit by-law, and hand it to the City Attorney for nis opinion.The Bell Telephore Company made an ofler to the committee to furnish the department with a patrol service, to furn'su stations, waggons and all the necessary signal-boxes and hand it over to the city in good running order, or rent each station to the city.Other tenders are to be asked for.H.Joseph & Co., real estate agents, made an offer to sell the property at the corner of Dufferin square aud Chenne- ville street and the building on the lot for $9,000, on which to build the new police station for St.Lawrence ward, Ald.P.Kennedy moved that tha chief make enquiries as to the numb»er of policemen who have carriages in service, He says their carriages get the preference over others at the Academy and other places.Ald.Wm.Kennedy said soms were running groceries and other places of business, and he wanted it stopped.The chief will make a report on the matter.oo 110 The tender of the Montreal Supply Atsociation for lanterns and cap numbers was referred to a sub-committes.A sub-committee was then appointed to confer with the Fire Committes in ra- ference to the building of a combined fira and police station at Hochelaga, and tha meeting adjourned.THE NIGHT SCHOOL BOOKS.A meeting of the Finance aub-commit- tee for investigating the bills for night echool books, consisting of Aldermen Roliund (chairman), McBride and Mar- tineau, was held yesterday afternoon, Mr.J.B.A.Trude], who was a middle man in the book transactions, was also pretent.The accounts for books and stationery still unsettled were submitted.l'ley were as follows: Messrs.Drysdale & Co., $193.81; T.E.Grafton, $133.34; R.Miller, Son & Co., $44.85.These accounts were all right, the discount agreed on having been deducted.The bills of J.B.A.Trudel & Co.were for January, $1,171.44; February, 417.17; March, $212,00; special, $21.00, making a total of $1,821,- 67.Ald.McBride asked why books were bought during the month of March after the Finance Committee having decided over a month ago that no mora books would be paid for by the city.The minutes were looked up and it was found that such action had been taken, but Mr.Trude! had not been notified, so that it was his tault.Ald.McBride held that 25 per cent.should be deducted from the total amount of Trudel\u2019s bill, $1,821.67, He claimed that very high prices had been charged for some of the bocks and it would be nothing more than fair to do eo.Mr.Trudel strongly objected to such a proceeding, claiming that he bad put on 10 per cent.for distributing the books to the different schools.Ald.McBride told him that he should have made out a separate bill for that and charge for it in the proper way.% was decided unanimously to deduct £455 from the account, being 25 per cent.discount.Mr.Trudel thought he was being badly used.but the members of the committe told him he got off very 8T.PATRICK'S BOCIETYX.The regular meeting of the above B80- ciety was held in their hall last evening, Mr.H.J.Cloran, president, in the chair.It was expected that the election of officers would have been concluded at this meeting, but, owing to the absence of a number of members, it was decided to postpone the same till next Monday night.The annual statements were, however, presented and showed the society to ke ina flourishing condition.CS THE RIVER.The depth of the water last evening was reported to be 126 above the summer level.The Mill and Craig street pumps were all at work and fears of a flood are now dispelled.The river 13 clear of ice in front of the city and as far as Longue Pointe.The water rose six inches between 4 o\u2019clock yesterday afternoon and 6 o\u2019clock last evening.\u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014 CATHOLIC Y.M.SOCIETY.The adjourned annual meeting of the above association was held in their hall, 92 St.Alexander street, last \u2018evening, Rev.James Callaghan presiding.In accordance with custom the election of officers for the ensuing year was proceeded with, and resulted as follows: President, John Patterson; first vice-prssi- dent, J.A.Rowan; second vice-president, G.J.McAnally ; financial secretary, N.J.Britton ; recording secretary, James Nebbs ; assistant recording secretary, J.Roach ; librarian, R.P.Mulloy ; assistant librarian, M.Britt ; marshall, J.A.Pare; assistant marshall, C, McCarry ; councillors, L.Curran, J:mes McAnally, A.Nicholson, J.McKay, D.Mullin and T.Butler.ea __ FLEECED HIS FRIENDS.A Chronic Successful Insolveut Once More Takes in His Friends and Absconds.A great sensation was created yesterday morning on the street when it was learned that one of our well-known private bankers had suddenly left the city, leaving behind him a considerable number of victims whom he had fleeced out of many hundreds of dollars.Clerks in wholesale stores and civil employees are amongst the victims, aud all are at loss to explain the sudden exit made by their debtor, The news also created quite a8 commotion with the general public who had dealings with the moneylender.The absentee is not experiencing his first encounter with \u201cmisfortune,\u201d ag two or three years ago he figured in a failure for $130,000, and last year his creditors were called to settle a difficulty of $80,000 with the banks, in which hs had an unlimited credit This time his liabilities are $125,000, and it 18 said that the Jacques Cartier Bank, the People's Bank, the Ville Marie Bank and La Banque Nationale are interested in considerable amounts, Several of his relatives and friends are also amongst the victims to whom money was lent and paid and the notes twice discouuted by the banks on an alleged renewal, which is now supposed to have been forged.The absentee i3 a marrled man and leaves kehind him a young wife.He is also said to have been on friendly terms with a prepossessing young bruuetfe on Alexander street, and on enquiry by the police authorities it was found that the young woman in question had alss suddenly left her lodgings on Saturday evening with a middle-aged man.It was subsequently found out that a ticket for New York on the Delaware and Hudson Railway had heen purchased by a gentleman answering the description of the defaulter.The New York police authorities were notified, but have failel so far to trace the fugitive pair.ee NELLIE BLY Talks to a Montreal Audience on Her Trip Around the Werld.Nellie Bly must have been disappointed at the reception afforded her at the Queen\u2019s Hall last night.\u2014so far, at least, as the size of her audience was concerned, for those who were there had to be appreciative.The Montreal public certainly requires education in the matter of attending such entertainments as that presented last evening.Mr.J.Miller McConnell, the secretary of the Press Club, under whose auspices the lecture was delivered, having briefly introduced her to the audience, Miss Bly immediately requested everybody fo take a front seat, and then began her racy description of the trip which has brought her so much fame.She speaks in a very modest manner, yei with an air of jaunt and determination which ore would expect of a lady who has performed the remarkable feat with which her name must ever be associated.The audience was kept in continual laughter by her witty description of the funny events of her trip, and her knowledge of the general run of things \u201d must have been a matter of surprise to many.First she related her fight against seasickness, and how she succeeded ia overcoming that decidedly disagrzeablacoma- plaint very much better than soma who sneered at her when she firat showelevi- dence of a desire to feed the iiutls fishes.In a very happy manner she told of the peculiarities of some of her fellow-pas- sengers, and when she had taken her audience to Lagland she raferred 1n terms of pleasing sarcasm to the railroads, custom\u2019s officers, e c., ofthat country.She quickly passed over her trip across the English Channel, and related some of the funny things which happened her on arriving in France.Whils in that country she saw Jules Verna and his wife, at whose residence she speas some hours, Then she passed on to describe her recollections of Italy and Italians, of the trip through the Suez canal, and of her discovery, from the voluntary statement of a black boatman whose y el- low hair attracted her attention, thatthe bleaching craze had spread to Aden.Her steamer reached Hong Kong two days ahead of time, and ons of the passengers sued the steamship company on this account, as he had paid for \u2018 board and lodging\u201d till the date on which the boat was supposed to reach that place.A very racy reference to the places of interest in China and Japan in different places of which countries she was delayed for 15 days, followed by a brief description of the trip from Yokohoma to San Francisco, and thence home, completed a most amusing and instructive 1alk, and when Miss Bly said good night io her audience she was warmly applauded.One young man was heard to soar above plain prose and to voice his senti- wents with regard to the lecturer in words which may have been uttered before :\u2014 \u201cThere\u2019s not a fly On Nellie Bly.\u201d \u2014#> - The lion.Alexander Mackenzie and Mrs.Mackenzie, who have been stayiag easily.The committee will report their decision to the Finance Committee at its next meeting.during the Easter holidays with Sir Donald Smith, left for Crtawa yesterday AMUSEMENTS.LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY.In spite of the inclement state of the weather, there was a good audience at the Academy of Music lact night, when \u201cLittle' Lord Fauntleroy\u201d wou for himself many new admirers.The \u201clittle lord\u201d will be the attraction at this popular place of amusement for the remainder of the week, and during his stay here is bound to draw well.UNCLE TOM'8 CABIN.The audience at the Royal last night to see that old but ever-favorite play, \u2018\u201cUncle Tom's Cabin,\u201d was as large as it was appreciative, The leading members of the company did full jostice to the parts allotted them, and well merited the applause they received.The piece will run for the remainder of the week, and with pecuslary success, judging from the favorable impressions carried away with audience last evening.THE ABBOTT OPERA SALE.To-morrow morning the sale of reserved seats for the Emma Abbott season of grand opera in English at the Academy of ilusic next week, will open at Noruheimer\u2019's.Eight performances are arranged, six nights, two watinees.An unusual season of opera is promised, one ha!f of the operas announced being grand standard operas in Englisu\u2014\" I! Trovatore,\u201d * Eruani,\u201d \u2018\u201c Norma\u201d and \u201cFaust,\u201d all splendidly produced, the same bers asin the largest cities in America, the same casts, chorus, orchas- tra and mounting.Toe popular operas \u201c Robemian Girl,\u201d \u2018Rose of Castile,\u201d \u201cChimes of Normandy \u201d and * Martha \u201d are to be producea with the same choral, orchestral, costumic and scenic effects.Miss Abvott\u2019s costumes are said to b?the most costly and elaborate ever sean on the American stage.MRS.WATERS\u2019 CONCERT.The annual concert de salon given by the pupils of Madame D\" Angelis Waters, in the Windsor hall last evening, was a brilliant affair, Despite the unpleasant weather there was a large and fashiou- able audience present.The stage was beautifully decorated fer the occasion with flowers prettily arranged on columns and tables.An excellent programme was provided and was admirably carried out.The young lady performers looked charming when assembled oa the staze among the pretty surroundings.The performers who carried out the programme 80 well were Misses Wall, Lovell, Prowse, Battersby, McArthur, Akin, Minto, Cheese, Shaw, Mra.J.N, Fulton, Mrs.J.A.Bulmer, Mrs.Thurston and Mr.W.T.Scott.MR, THOMPSON'S CONCERT.Considering the many strong attractions last evening Mr.Thompson may consider himself fortunate in having such a large audience.The concert took place in the Victoria Rifles Armory and was financially if not wholly a musical success.The performers were all local hands and of some of them it is sufficient to mention the names as a guarantee that they successfully and faithfully contributed their numbers in an artistic manner.Among them may be mentioned Mlle.Tessier, Mrs.T.Ramsay, Prof.W.E.Buck and Mr.Wm.Thompson, each of whom won the appreciation of the audience, which at times was most entbusiastic.The Parker banjo quarlette seemed to be in hard luck, but notwithstanding the drawbacks which pefel their leader they merited the favors bestowed upon them.Mr.J.H.Parker in his banjo solo fairly captivated the audience by his clever manipulation of his instra- ment, ovar which he is a complete master.Among the others who contributed selections wera Miss McConochy, who is not a8 often heard in public as might be desired, and Messrs.J.Hardman, A, Dougherty, and C.A.Henderson.The accompanists, who rendered valuable assistance, were Miss E, Riley and Prof.E.Lavigne.CONCERT AT ST.MARY'S.A very enjoyable entertainment was given last evening in the basement of St.Mary's church, Craig street.The curate, Rev.Father Salmon, was in the chair, and made a few remarks in his usual agreeable style at the opening of the entertainment.A choice programms of songs and recitations was then gone through with by the pupils of St.Mary\u2019s school.The little fairies who appeared with such great advantage on Bt.Patrick\u2019s night were once more gladly welcomed.During the evening Rev.P.P.O'Donnell delivered an eloquent address, taking for his subject * Wanderings in Old Ireland.\u201d The proceeds of the concert will go to the church funds.fn WEDDING BELLS, Miss May Shepherd, and Mr.George R.Robertson, Jr, a popular young curler, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock at St.George\u2019s Church yesterday afternoon.The bride looked charm- | ing in a gown of white silk trimmed with tulle, and wore the orthodox orange blossoms and carried a large bouquet of white roses.The was attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Robertson, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Bowie, of Ottawa.After the wedding, Mrs.Shepherd, the mother of the bride, held a reception at her house on Dorchester street, at which numerous friends and relatives of the brids and bridegroom were present.The happy couple left during the afternoon for a tour through the States.ms A VERDICT AGAINST LEVEL CRUSSINGS.Coroner Jones held an inquest yesterday on the body of Catherine Benton, a married woman, living at 364 Richmond street, who was struck down by a Grand Trunk train the evening before last, and who died yesterday morning from her injuries.The coroners verdict agreed to yesterday afternoon read as follows: \u201cThat the jurors at the inquest held on thie body of Catherine Benton, killed on tbe evening of April the 7th, at Lusignon street crossing, according to the evidence placed before them, hold the Grand Trunk authorities responsible for the death of the said Catherine Benton, for not providing for the safety of the public at the said crossing by neglecting to build elevated cressings or roadways as is done by the U.P.R.Railway on their ine.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014-\u2014\u2014 THE VACANT SHRIEVALTIES.Le Monde, of last night, is authority for the statement that Mr.L.O.David has been named Sheriff for the district of Montreal.While it is generally conceded, however, that the popular member for Montreal East has been offered tbe position in question it is equally as well known that, as there bas been no meeting of the Cabinet since before the afternoor.THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.WEDN thing definite has as yet been decided tpon.A gentleman just arrived
