CLEVELAND, O.,, Aug.22.\u2014A correspondent of the United Press called upon P.M.Arthyr, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, to-day and asked him what he intended to do in the matter of Mr.Powderly\u2019s letter published tc-day.\u201cLetters purporting to be from certzin individuals\u201d said Mr.Arthur are \u201csome times published, and it afterwards trauspires that the alleged authors did not write them, and sometimes that they were not written at ail.While there is no reason to disbelieve that Mr.Powderly wrote the letter addressed to me, I have ns personal knowledge that he wrote it.I bave received no direct communication from hilu.It would be very unbecoming for me to discuss or reply to such a communication before I have positively received it.Therefore,I have nothing to say about it.If Powderly writes to me on that, or any other subject, it will be promptly answered.It ought nct to necessary for anybody toenquire how the brotherhood ot engineers acts with regard to strikes.That has been declared in print and otherwise hundreds of times.\u201d Mr, Arthur spoke with deliberation, and dpparently endeavored to conceal apy feelings one way or another he may have in regard to the strike and the course of the engineers in regard thereto.Engineers Will Act Independently.Continuing Mr.Arthur said: \u201c You may state, and I know of no way of putting it stronger, that we are minding our own business and will continue to do so.I notice Mr.Powderly complains that the engineers are acting as firemen and taking the places of strikers.No word or notice of this has been received by me.In fact our position in the whole trouble 18 thoroughly independent.I know nothing more of the strike than what bas been published in the news- pagers.I was not consulted or advised of the affair in the beginning and therefore have no interest in it, only 80 far a I am on sympathy with all classes who are trying to better their condition.The engineers will strike only on their own account.The order will take no official cognizance of the Central trouble unless complaints come from our members.Thus far not a single complaint has been made by the engineers, so we have not taken any step in the matter.\u201d To Tie Up the Boston, Albany and Fitchburg ALBANY, Aug.22\u2014C.H.I[feuholme, Grand President of the steam railroad men\u2019s Protective Association of Bostoa, arrived in this city thie evening, and with the executive board of D.A.246, proceeded to Troy to confer with the leaders there.It is said to-night, that the men of tte Boston and Albany and Fitchburg roads which have heen assisting the Central Road to move freight will be ordered to go out, when thg general strike order comes, from the federation of railway employees at Terre Haute.There promises to be trouble too for the Delaware and Hudson Ry.again.The Central has been sending freight to West Troy and Green Island and from there having it transferred to the Delaware and Hudson.To-day the employees of that road at Green Island came down in a body and told Mr.Hammond that if be persisted in moving that freight they would strike.Mr.Hammonds says in defence that he does not understand that he is doing any more ihan receiving freight originally consigred to his road Nxw York, Aug.22.\u2014The mambers of the exocutive board, K.of L., have tonight thrown aside the cares attendant upon watching the progress of the great railroad strike, and gone out individually, visiting the various district assemblies throughout the city.These visits are purely of a fraternal character and are among organizations in no way coa- nected with the big strike.Nothing is aing on in strike matters, on the sur- ace.The following is Mr, Powderly\u2019s reply to Stats Commission Donovan\u2019s letter: \u2014 NEW YORK, Aug.23, 1870.J.J.Donovan, Board of Mediation and Arbitration.DEAR &IR :\u2014I take pleasure in acknowledging the receiptof your letter in which the general executive board K.of L.are invited to Joint conference with the officials of the N.Ÿ.Central Railway.Our board is willing to comply with your request and hold themselves fn readiness 10 respond at a moments notice.We hold ourselves in readiness to do any honorable thing to terminate the strike, or avert another one and sincerely hope that either arbitration or such other methods may be agreed upon as will have the desired effect.Recognizing in you an officer of the State, and assuring you that we have from tha beginning been willing and anxious to submit the matter to your board for adjustment, ~ 1 am very rly ours, T.G.POWDERLY, G.M.W.K,of L The following letter is Vice Webbs reply: Hon.J.Donovan, Member of the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration, DEAR SIR,\u2014I have received your letter this date.As is well known to you and the publie, à large namber of persons recently apd suddenly quit theservice of this company and with, but few exceptions have not applied for re-employment, but are engaged in holding meetings, conferring with the officials of the order known as the K.of Land other organizations, and seeking to prevent by persuasion,threats and intimidation, and in other ways, the continuance in lawful employment of the persons who did not Jeave Lhe company\u2019s service, and of others who have been employed in the place of those who did.This constitutes the existing ¢ gtrike\u201d and the further strike referred to by you will or will nottake place, as the efforts of the persons who have left our service may or may not meet with success.I believe sush efforts will fail.The operating force of the company is fail {he passenger service of the company is regularly performed and there 18 no obstruction 10 its freight service except lawless interference and the apprehension thereof.I am not aware of any cifference or grievance existing between the company and the employes; and I must assume that the conference suggested by you as between the officers ofthe company and the representatives of our employes is a conference suggested between the officers of the company and the officials of the - - ea.TILED -above K.of L.The officials represent not our emn- ployees but persons who have left our service And have not asked to be einployed but who through these same officials of the K.of L.( asked that the discharge by the company of certain persous prior to Aug.8 be submitted to their investigation and to arbitration by some tribunal to be selected in some way; a request which I have felt it to be my duty to decline.Of course we deprecate any interruption to travel or delay in the transportation of freight upon the line of this or any other company.1 shall take every means in my power to prevent such an occurrence, and if the constituted authorities prevent lawless interference with our operatives Ido not anticipate any interruption of passenger or freight traffic.For the above reason it teens 10 me inappropriate unnecessary ave Lhe confere 3 gested by you.runes sug have H.WALTER WEBB, Third Vice-lresident.Mr.Webb Interviewed.Mr.Webb was also interviewed at some length on the situation.He said : \u201cNo man has been discharged by this company because Le was a K.of L., or member of any other labor organization.This comoany has discharged mea irrespective of their membership in the order of the K.of L.,, for drunken- ress, incapacity, breach of duty, ipsubcrdination and for lack of sufficient work to employ them, and it will continue to do so whenever proper occasion arrises.The people of this State granted to this company its franchise ard made it obligatory upon it to render certain services to the public, and provided that all its duties, including the employment and discharge of all classes of agents, should be por- formed by certain officers, and its officers do not propose to surrender, abandon or trausfer the {discharge of those duties, or any part of them, to any one except their duly appointed successors.\u201d , Mr.Webb went on to say that some sixty men were dismissed for, the causes aod he has been asked by Mr.Powderly to arbitrate in order to avoid a threatened strike.Mr.Webb concluded by saying that as long as he holds his position in the Company he will decline to submit the question of dismissal of employees to arbitration.Railway Men Organizing.BestoN, Aug.22.\u2014The Herald says: * The railroad men of Vermont are rapidly affiliating with the steam railroad men\u2019s protective union.Grand organ- izor Burns, of Boston, has organized a union of 65 charter members at White River Junction on Tuesday night and a union at St.Johnsbury with 75 charter members last night.He states that the discharge of members of the Kuights of Labor on the New York Central bas aroused the railroad employes on the Grand Truuk and other roads, and that the men are flocking into their various organizations in large numbers.Engineers and Firemen Turn Out, Cnrcaco, Aug.22.\u2014The engineers and firemen on the stock yards system, 40 of each, went out on strike this morning Not a wheel is turning on the road.The strike causes fully 200 switchmea to be thrown out of employment, besides several hundred men employed around the stock yards and packing honaes whose duties are in connection with the railway.Should it last over a day tbe (whole packing business will be closed, and the stock yards will be without means of receiving or sending out any live stock.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 BY A CANADIAN SCULPTOR.Arrival of the Bronze Indian Group for Parliament Building.QuEskc, Aug.22,\u2014It may be known that Mr, P.Hebert, the celebrated Caan adian sculptor who is now in Paris, obtained from the Quebec Government an order, or contract, to supply for the sum of $20,000 the statuary required for the ornamentation of the front of the Parliament House.The first instalment of this work and the most important of the several pieces comprising it, arrived in this port the day before yesterday by the French steamship Electrique and is now lying on the Louise embankment.It is the Indian group that is to occupy a place immediately facing the main entrance of the Parliament House over the fountain, The bronze in question, which ig valued from $5000 to $6000, has figured at the Paris exposition, where Mr, Hebert was honored by receiving a prize and special mention for his work.The Indians represented in the work are Abenakis and good judges and connoisseurs of high art consider the conception and execution of the work as excellent.The principal figure of the group, the father of the Indian family, stands ten feet high and leaus upon a bow.Beside bim stands a boy ready to fire an arrow from his outstretched bow.The squaw is in a half rising posture aud wears a Jook of anxiety and fright upon her face, and beside her is a younger child.The gioup will probably be placed in position in the course of a few days.+ rn

Snbetitate Crop\u2014Cab- bage Proposed to Take the Pince of Potatoes\u2014 A Windy Diet for Winter Use, Agltators Taking Advantage of the Wretched situation.LoxDoN, Aung.22.\u2014The farmera in these districts of Ireland where a famine is threatened by reason of the failure of the potatoe crop, are making heroic efforts to provide for their sslf-sapport during the trying period which is before them.The best counsel is being eagar- ly sought a8 to the possibility of makiag the land yield some other crop which wiil farnish some other food, and though the season is so far advanced as to mak the success of such plans doubtful, the experiment will at least be attampted.Various * quick crops\u201d have been suggested, but the proposal which meets most favor is to plant cabbage, and mapy of the unfortunate farmers have already ploughed their blighted potato vines under aud begun the work of planting cabbage.If the new crop turns out a success, it will furnish at least a partial subetitute for the favorite \u201cmurphies\u201d which form the staple food of the Irish peasant.The distress congsequemt upon the partial or complete failure of food products in considerable areas of Ireland is thought to be certain to increase the bitterness of feeling among tenants against their landlords, and to revive certain features of the Irish question in Parliament which have for some time been dormant.Already agitators ara taking advantage of the situation to stir up ill feeling among the pso- ple of the affected districts.The question is put : Why the tenant farmers ard kept in such a state of chronic poverty that they are unable to accuma- late enough money or property to tide them over a single bad season; and those who put the question answer it, to their satisfaction at least, by attributing the miserable condition of the tenant to the rack rent system by which any temporary benefit arising from an exceptionally good crop, or an unsual display of industry by the culturer, is wiped out by an increase of rent, while no reduction of rent is ever made in compensation for the losses of a bad year.* The Cork Examiner, à paper of widespread influence, which has been strongly advocating a restoration of common rights in land and the extinction of land- lordism, has seized upon the existing state of things as an opportune time to put forth its most cogent arguments, and the land question is likely to become a more important une than ever in Irish politics.CHOLERA IN GERMANY, Several Cases Reported in the Neighborhood of Berlin.Beruy, Aug.22.\u2014Several cases of cholera, according to th e diagnosis of the attending physicians, have appearad in he vicinity of this city.Explosion of Powder Mills.Loxnon, Aug.22.-The explosion today in the Gould Powder Mills at Wal- tham, by which two men were killed and a number injured, is the first accident that has occured there for 20 years.The mills are located far from ons another and from otber buildings, and the greatest precaution is maintained.The boast of the managers that the mills were the most carefully conducted would seem to be justified by their 20 years record of immunity from fatalities.The exact cause of to-day\u2019s disaster is still a subject of investigation.The Strike of Belgian Miners.BrussELs, Aug.22.\u2014T he strike in the Borinage district is

Strange SI Affair by the Wounded VI Cuicauo, Aug.22\u2014Pe ,\u2026 arson, & butcher, living at No.446: a ol-street, was shot, but oot dange 2 hurt, by an unknown man in L.= 4 saloon at Forty-sixth and Schoos es.ets, Tuesday night.The shooting was a peculiar one and seemed to puzzle the police.Pearson says he was sitting at a table in the saloon wheu three young fellows with the lower part of their faces covered with handkerchiefs rashed in.The masked trio commanded silence and then one, pointing a revolver at Pearson, fired.The bullet took effect in Pearaon\u2019s side, making a flesh wound.The three men then left jas suddenly as they entered.Pearson\u2019s wounds were dressed and he wiil be out in a faw days.Sach is tbe story Pearson told the police.Balzar, the saloonkeeper, tells the game story and corroborates all the stater'euts made by Pearson.He says the masked men entered the saloon without any evident intention to rob the place, but merely to bave a shot at his customer.The police are now looking at the thing in a different light.They say they do not believe the etory of the assault by masked men, but they venture an explanation for the story.They think that Pearsonjand the saloonkeeper, while playing cards, became involved in a quarrel and one of them fired a shot at the other.They patched up a paace,the officeia think, and invented a story to explain the shooting.TOPICS FROM THE CAPITAL.A Land League Minister\u2014Postoffice at Peterboro\u2014Cansdian Wheat Desirable \u2014Quarantine for Cholera.OTTAWA, Aug.22.\u2014A Quebecer writes to the Ottawa papers correcting an error into which they were led, asserting that Mr.Fitzpatrick, who is sald to be about to be sworn in as a member of the Quebec Cabinet, is the first Irish Land Leaguer to be an adviser of the Crown in any part of the Dominion.The correspondent, while deprecating any desire to disparage Mr.Fitzpatrick, says that to the Hon.John Costigan, Minister of Inland Revenue, belongs tbat honor, inasmuch as that gentleman joined the league in 1880, and has since adhered to the principles of the organization.Mr, Costigan was called to the Dominion Cabinet in 1882, The Government has decided to light the Ottawa postoffice by the Westinghouse Company's incandes-ent system.Alderman Askwith, of Ottawa, will commence the erection of the Custom House and Post-office at Petertoro next week.It will be remembered that he was given the contract some two yearä ago, and was then hindered by a dispate arising as to the site.The documents in the Renfrew-Capital pro\u2018est have been received back from Prest, Doherty by Beey, Morrison, and placed in ths printers\u2019 hands.Copies will be sent out to-morrow to the members of the council, and it is expected that the decision of each member will be returned by Saturday.Capt.T.D.B.Evans, of \u2018C\u201d Company, R.C.1, Toronto, arrived hera yesterday from England, where he took a course of militery ivstraction.A communication received this morning from Mr.Small, Acting-Daputy Minister of Agriculture from one of the officials of the Department, in Winni- reg, states that the flour made from the Red Fife hard wheat of Manitoba ground at the Keewatin flour mills has been found much superior for the West Indian trade to that made at the Minneapolis mille.The reason assigned for this is that the hard wheat used at the latter wills was mixed wita the soft wheat of the south and the flour produced was liable to sour and ferment in the heat of the tropics.The Acting Deputy Minister of Agriculture, speaking to a reporter of the rumored danger of Asiatic cholera coming to Canada from Japan via British Columbia, said that the Quarantine was as strict at that port as at Grosse Island, and at that place they were all that bu- man ingenuity conld devise.There was every danger, however, that the plague would vieit this country next summer, It would perhaps come through some immigrants who Lad the disease in the latent stage, which could not be detected at the Quarantine.That seems in Mr.Small\u2019s opinion to have been the case with the patient now under treatment in London, England.THE SILVER CERTIFICATES.The Bureau of Engraving and Printing Busy on the New Bills.WasmiNGToN, D.C., Aog.22, ~The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has begun work on the new $10 silver bullicp certificates.Enough of the $100 and $1,000 certificates have been printed to supply the demand.In a forthnight ClLief Meredith hopes to be turning out the smaller issues\u2014fives, twos, and ones, At this season of the year there is always a heavy demand in the west for currency of smaller denomination, which is needed in the crop movements.Complaint is made from New York city that tbe small bills sent west this year are not returning, and thata scarcity exists in the metropolis.This is pretty good wvidence that there is other use in the west for the circulating medium besides moving the crops.The issues of smaller silver bullion certificates might be made in time in part to supply the need of more small currency in all parts of the country.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Starving Settlers in Colorado.DENVER, Col., Aug.22.\u2014The 500 or 800 people who live in eastern Arapahoe County, Colorado, near the Kansas line, are in a state bordering on starvation.A committee representing the settlers was in Denver yesterday seeking aid of the County Commissioners.Crops are an absolute failure this year, and as the country i8 new, the first settlement having been made three years ago, the people have no resources and they find winter approaching without any prospect of pulling through it alive without assistance.THEPULSE OF TRADE EBB AND FLOW OF COMMERCIAL TIDB.-

York, Aug.22.\u2014Special telegrams to Bradstreets\u2019show that the general trade incident to autamn has begun with a fairly good demand.It is relatively most active at New Orleans, where the tributary region is enjoying prospsrity based upon excellent crops.Rice, it is thought, will exc3ad ous m:l- lion sacks, and Cotton, will yield heavily.Chicago, New York, Boston and St.Louis all repot a large volume of business, dulloess being chiefly conspicuous among handlers of imported articles.At Philadelphia, notwithstanding a better request for dry goods, a large share of textile machinery is idle.Grain leather is generally scarce and in aclive request with prices higher, Boots and shoes have advanced 10@15 cents per pair at first hands.Cattle are lower for common, but hogs are five cents up on increased demand.After a sharp depression, due to ths stringency of money, stock prices show a tendency to rally om the expectation of increasing supplies of funds from®the tender of 4} percent bonds to the treasury.The threatened extension of the New York Central strike is also an element in the market.Bank clearings at 51 cities forthe week ended August 21, are $1,107,580,271, a gain over this week last year of 16 per cent.Moderate gross earnings in June with increased operating expenses growing out of low freight rates west and large expenditures for Dbet- terments bave reduced the proportions of gain in net earnings of railroad companies generally.Net earnings of 96 railroads for June aggregate $12,710,278, 8a gain over June 1889 of 10.2 per cent.; for six months of 1889 of 13.4 per cent.Copper tends upward at home and abroad.Notwithstanding the recent pig rises iron and steel remain steady as to price and demand is unchanged.Production to date is 330,000 tons behind the record for last year.Renewed short crop reports as to wheat at home and a decided preponderance of bullish sentiment geived to push wheat up 2ic this week, despite the natural bee rish tendencies of the Northwest exclusive of producers.Indian corn, too, advanced § cents, and oats 14 cents, Dry goods are more actively distrib uted-at the east and the general tone of the market is buoyant.Jobbers are most active while agents are doing a good re-order business through the mail and versonal demand.A fair business is doing in raw wool, but the market lacks strength.Liquidation of old cotton contracts has been the order of the day in all markets,and prices are off }@ 11-6c.New crop is going freely.Business failures reported to Bradstreet\u2019s number 160 in the United States this week agamst 148 last week and 218 this week last year.Canada bad 20 this week against 29 last week.The total number of failures in the United States from January 1st to date is 6,663, against 7,427 in a like portion of 1889.FOUR TRAIN HANDS KILLED.Terrible Results of a Collision at Cascade City, Cala, EMIGRANT Gar, Aug.22.\u2014Freight Conductors Kingsley and Connelly and Brakemen Beaver and Levi were killed and several other trainmen badly burt by a freight wrack on the Central Pacific Railway near Cascade City this morning.A train of 20 freight cars standing an the main track broke

and the British exports are $121,606,680, an increase of $10,984,150, or about 10 per cent.The fall in the value of the imports is chiefly caused by smaller receipts of raw materials for textiles and other industries ; these two groups of articles alone accounting for $10,966,465 out of the total decrease.The same features are to be observed with regard to the seven months\u2019 total.Wheat shows a considerable increase for the month, the additional receipts being chiefly derived from Russia, the United States and the British East Indies.Indian corn is still being imported largely, tut in barley and oats there is a material decrease.The figures relating to sugar illustrate the extent to which the prices of this article have fallen from their level in July, 1859: Of refined sugar the increased quantity is 5} per cent.but the value has diminished by 32 per cent.Of raw sugar the quantity has declined by 4% per cent, but the value 324 per cent.Of raw materials, cotton has nearly reached the total quantity of last year, but the value is greater.Flax, hemp, jute, silk, and sheep\u2019s wool, the latier especially, were received to a less extent than in July, 1889.The exports of foreign and colonial wool have fallen off heavily, probably because direct shipments of wool are being made more frequently than formerly from the country of production to the countries of consumption.The imports of nitrate of soda have fallen off, but, on the other hand, the exports of manures show a satisfactory increase.As regards the British and Irish exports, all groups, with the exception of live animals and parcel post, are increased in value, but the greatest expansion is in metals and raw materials.Alkali has been shipped more freely and ata large advance in price, the United States having taken most of the increage.Salt, too, shows an increase in both quantity and value, and, notwithstandin the higher prices ruling, the British East Indies took 29,412 fone, against 12,504 tons.The largest shipments of coal are being made to France and Italy, and in a less degree to Egypt.Cotton piece goods show an increase, although the shipments to Bombay have fallen off somewhat, China and Hong Kong have materially increased their purchases of cotton piece goods; and Turkey, Egypt and the Straits Settlements have taken more also, The decline in the exporis of woollen piece goods is very marked this month, while worsteds again are in more demand, the United States having largely increased their purchases, which amounted to 6,651,100 yards, against 5,040,400 yards in July, 1889, owing, no doubt, to fear of thefproposed new tariff, Tin plates were taken by the United States to the extent of 57,011 tons,against 23,718 tons in July of last year, for the same reason.The total imports for the six months ended June were valued at $1,034,588,295, compared with $1.037,- 397,490 for the same period in 1889.From foreign countries the total was $783,302,205, against $785,310,200; while from British possessions the amount was $251,196,000, against $252,177,290, The British exports were valued at $637,779,825, against $594,937,715, $427,- 803,140 being sent to foreign countries, against $389,450,120, and $209,976,685 to British possessions, against $205,489,595.The clearances for home consumption of yum, wine and tobacco are very satis- Smoke Noisy Boys 1890 Cigars.GAZEITF: salURDAY.- AUGUST.THE RETAIL MABKETS.What to Buy and What to Pay for Season able Supplies.MonTREAL, Friday, Aug.22.The markets were all well supplied and trade was active.The only dealers who did not speak in terms of perfect satisfaction with the day\u2019s work were the purveyors of fish.They complain of slack trade, caused, as they allege, by scant supplies and consequent high prices, Fruit and vegetable dealers are doing a rushing trade.In some things prices are extraordinarily low; cucumbers, for instance, being quoted at 5¢ per dozen, with lower price by the bushel, and as for small cucumbers for pickling, it is literally a case of \u201cYou pays your money and you takes your choice\u201d; that is, you pays your money and then take away as many as you chooëe, or care to carry away.New potatoes are in great plenty and prices are verv low, the reason as explained by dealers being that early varieties are never good keepers.When the first rush of early eorts is over, and the winter keeping sorts come to market, there will in all likeli hood be a agdden rise, as the potato crop is reported in poor condition in most countries, and the export trade will demand a large share of our own crop, which generally speaking, is good and abundant.Peaches\u2014Canadian peaches so far do not do much credit to the grower.Prices as compared with California are low, but the difference not only in taste, but appearance is sufficient to warrant anyone, to whom a few cents is not a matter of such great importance, in purchasing the California fruit.Grapes are in large supply and the crop prospects in Ontario are excellent.Grapes are likely to be very cheap and the making of home wines \"should receive quite a stimulus.The smaller fruits, was currants and gooseberries are now quite off the market, but their places are filled by an overflowing supply of blueberries which at 5c to 8c, per quart are cheap enough to eat\u2014in pies, puddings, preserves or au naturel.The cold weather and deluge of rain we have experienced the last few days has not yet bad any effect on the lemon boom.Lemons are now higher than ever they have been known before at this time of the year.Wholesale prices have gone up to $8(2$9 per pox, which is about double the?prices asked five or six weeks ago.In the retail markets and stores 50c@60c a dozen is asked fpr the most ordinary specimens, really fine fruit fetching still higher prices.Young turkeys were brought to market in fair supply to-day.The by-law relating to the condition of poultry coming to market not having been passed yet, some hundreds of pounds weight of filth was paid for by the dealers,in good honest money, though of course the public will have to reimburse them.Cui bono, to whose benefit is the laxity of this law.Certainly not to the profit of the public, or the dealer, or the honorable seller.For the sake of a few cunping farmers the whole public must suffer.Meats.Begr\u201410c¢c @ 15¢ per 1b.Mvurron\u201410c @ 14c per lb.LamB\u201412c @ 15c per lb.VEAL\u201410c @ 126 per Ib.Pork\u201410c @ 14c per Ib.SUcKINE Prcs\u2014$1 25@$1 75 each.Han\u201413c¢c @ 15¢ per lb.Bacon\u201413c @ 15c per lb.SAusAGE\u201410c @ 12c per lb.Fowl and Game.Turkeys, Hexs\u201480c@$1.10 each.Turkeys, GoBsLERI\u2014$1.50@2.00 each.SPRING TURKEYS\u201490c(@$1.10 each.GersE\u201410c per Ib.Ducrs\u201460c& $1.00 per pair.Spring Ducks\u201470¢(@90c.Fowrs\u201470c@90c per pair.SPRING CHICKENS\u201440c@75c per pair.Prcroxs\u201480c per pair.Faocs LEas\u201430c per ib.Fish, SALMON\u201420c to 25c per Ib.LAKE Trour\u201410c per Ib.WeiTE Fisg\u2014l0c per 1b.PickerEL\u201410¢ per 1b.Pixe\u20148c per lb.Dore\u201412¢ per 1b.PrrcH skinned\u201410c per ib, Buiraeans skinned\u201410¢ per Ib.Bappock\u20147c per lb.Cop\u20148c per lb.STURGEON\u201410C per 1b.BLack Bass\u201410c@12c per lb.MAskINONGE\u201410c@12c per lb.Lossrer\u201415c per lb.Frese Kris\u201415 @ 30c each.SMorED Er1s\u201415¢@30¢ each, FRESH MACKEREL\u20143 for 25c¢.PERCH 1 SUCKERS | Rock Bass } 5c@25c per bunch.SUNFISH Brin Heaps | Country Produce: Eces\u2014Fine stock, strictly fresh, 20c @22c per doz.Case eggs, 16c@18c.CrEaMEry BuTTeR\u201420c@22c per lb.Dairy BUTrER\u201416c@18c per lb.CuEESE\u201412¢@14c rer Ib.Marre SucAR\u20148c@10c per Ib.MarLE Syaue\u2014In tins, 70@80c.New Hoxey\u2014In comb, in 1b sections, 15c@17c;

Montreal to Succeed the Wrecked Vessel ldabo\u2014A Crew of Lascars oo Board\u2014Interestiug Account of Her Dimensions and History.The docks were visited by a large number of people yesterday for the par- pose of seeing that big steamship abou\u2019 which so much has been printed.* Next in size to the Great Easiern,\u201d and \u201c Largest steamer that ever entered the St.Lawrence,\u201d were a fow of the expressions used to describe her enormous proportions.These who expected to see in the Knight Companion such a majestic structure as they had besn led to believe she was were somewhat disappointed, True, the Knight Companion is a big steamer, but in a certain way.A Herald reporter went on board yesterday afternoon, and was informed by the quarter-master that the captain Was taking his afternoon nap, bat as thera was plenty to look at around the decks of the ship for a while, the captain was not disturbed from his sleep.Probably the most noticeable featare around the deck was the crew of East Indian blacks.They are commoaly called Lascars and doubtless the mst striking thing in Canada to them, (for it is their first visit to this country,) was the cool atmosphere.Some of them wore the dress of their own country, others went about with English-made clothes, with the coat closely buttoned and the collar turned up.They looked cold, and no doubt they were.Another point of interest was the deep holds, a look down which revealed an immense quantity of space for stowing away cargo.The large deck space was also noticeable, showing that the Knight Companion was preeminently a freight carrier.That is where her immense proportions come in.Both the Parisian and the Vancouver, and no doubt other steamers, are quite as large in dimensions, but they could not begin to carry the cargo that the Knight Companion could stow away.She came out to fill the place on the Dominion Line vacated by the Idaho, which was recently wrecked at Anticosti.In the meantime, the captain having awakened from bis nap and taken his afternoon cup of tea, the reporter proceeded to his cabin and was courteously received by Capt.J.R.Durant, who said he never considered it any trouble to talk to reporters.He gav® the following account of the passage from Avon.mouth Dock to Montreal: We left there on the morning of the 10th inst., and for the first three days had moderate winds and fine weather, The next three days saw a decided change in the weather, experiencing strong head winds and northwest seas, The seas ran mountains high, but the Knight roved a good sea boat in rough weather.he first ice was seen 200 miles east of Belleisle.Form twelve hours previous we had dense fogs and when the weather cleared there was lots ot ice to be seen.From that point to Balleisle moderate winds and fine weather were experienced and the Belleisle light was passed on Sunday night.We continued to meet with ice until Cape Norman was passed.From there to Armour Point the weather was very thick and the only way of ascertaining the position of the ship was by the fog signal at that point, which was a very good one.Up to Heath Point, where the steamer was signalled, we had strong westerly gales and variable winds up the river.She arrivad in port about 6 o\u2019clock yesterday morning.The captain was then requestad to tell something about his fine steamer, which he did.She was built about two years 8go at Jarrow, on the Tyne, for the East Indian trade.She is owned by Messrs.Greenshields, Cowie & Co., of Liverpool, owners of the Knight Line.They have now five steamers afloat and one building.Her dimensions are, length 415 feet, width of beam, 45} feet, depth o* holds 32 feet.As for her carrying capacity, Captain Durant said that on one trip from Bombay she carried 7145 Bombay shipping tons.It must be taken into consideration titat a ton of Bombay linseed is equal to 1600 weight, and a ton of wheat to 1800 weight.Ever since her construction she has been trading between Calcutta and Bombay and Eogland.In fine weather while deep laden she makes 12 knots an hour, but on her last trip, not being heavily laden, and the weather being rough, tke passage was slow.The cattle trade was not taken into consideration when she was built, but nevertheless she will take a big los on board, baving large deck space.She is eigut feet between decks.\u201cThen 1 suppose, Captain, this is your first trip up the St.Lawrence ?\u201d \u201c Oh no, I made three trips to Montreal previous to the present one.The first visit I made here was eleven years ago in a sailing ship, and the second time was in the steamship Ganges, the following year.\u201d Comparing the size of the Parisian to that of the Knight Companion, brought to the mind of Captain Durant an incident connected with that steamer.\u201cWhen coming up the river in the Ganges,\u201d he said, \u201cthe Parisian was coming out to Montreal on her maiden trip.The Ganges was coming up the river and the Parisian caught up to her in a narrow part of the channel and because the Ganges would not get out of ber way, the pilot was very much in- cenred.The channel was too narrow to permit a pass until further up.\u201d Captain Durant carries with him plea- samt recollections of a part of a summer spent here about eleven years ago.He took quite an interest in Y.M.C.A.and Sailor Institute work.It was only about four months ago that he took command of the Knight} Companion, having been transferred from the Knight St.George.On the present trip the Knight Com- parion was not nearly loaded to her capacity.Yesterday afternoon carpenters took charge of the cattle deck to erect cattle stalls.\u2014_\u2014 Smoke Noisy Boys 1890 Cigars.\u2014\u2014 It Saved His Life.GENTLEMEN\u2014] can

a very angular up-and-down hand hints at the writers great imitative powers, for that is never natural ; a very bold, dashing style argues individuality, and a peculiar band originality with strength of character, especially if the peculiar.ty in the chirography is not pleasing.1t it isa labored hand it means one of two things, either lack of practice\u2014per- haps in early elucation\u2014ora very careful, painstaking individual.If it is, however, a particularly careful, round, even, beautiful hand, it argues vanity, for the writer has evidently been praised for his penmanship and likes praise.If itis neat, pleasing address, believe in the person's good opinion of you, for he does his best in writing you.If it only pleases you because it is conventional, neat and good form, believe in his general good breeding and education, for his writing is like the smile on the face of a society woman.Again, if the chirography be almost il'egible ntver ask the writer to do you a favor; he would not bother himself to be nice to anyone.As for the envelope itself, if a plain, ordinary affair, it means, not as might | be supposed, poverty of purse, but either poverty of cultivation or the filling of so chance a need, and the letter itself will reveal that it is borrowed article and its use a case of it or none at all.If the envelope be pictured or tinted you may doubt the owner's good taste, while if it havea monogram or crest you can be sure it indicates pride or self-esteem.Ifit be something unique and novel in design, as very long and slender, or very broad and square, look out for the gushing maid\u2014at this season of the year \u2018the summer girl.\u201d Of course the summer girl is extremely particular about her stationery and takes with her the very latest fads or nothing at all; she is prone to fancy somethinga trifle newer than the conventional cream white heavy or linen paper.Perhaps the very latest thing she can get is the paper in deep heliotrope and blue tones stamped with a clover leaf in one corner, with a finish that gives to the clover the glisten of satin.Accompanying this she must have a sweet grass box to hold the paper, and a dear little pen-wiper in the shape of a clover leaf and made of flannel; the whole thing somehow made to suggest new- mown hay sort of innocence.If one is simply sighing for tinted paper the shades of pale gray and yellow with the address stamped in silver a$ the most desirable things to be used, but a good sensible sticking to a good sensible conventionality of paper is highly satisfactory.Theaddressis the only thing that is new stamped upon one\u2019s paper by those who study good form in everything, the envelope accompanying it being plain.A woman who looks after her letter paper and watches that her supply does not exhaust itself and her needs requird her to take up with anything pro tem, adds one admirable quality tothe list of daintinesses which should make up her individuality.Precise, dainty ways are acquired charms which should not be sneered at.\u2014Chicago Herald.A smart Old Man.The Bowling Green (Ky.) Times tells how the postmaster at Rochester, Ky., who kept a small grocery, made a smart - speculation with postage stamps several years ago, when the keepers of small offices were allowed 60 per cent of the receipts for their services.\u201cThe old man concluded he would increase his stock, 80 he boarded a train for Louisville, and, going to the wholesale grocery house of Cowles & Co., said to Pleas Cowles: \u2018I want to buy $1,000 worth of goods and pay cash for them, provided you will let me pay you in stamps.\u201d The grocery king reflected and concluded that stamps were equivalent to the cash, and, besides, he wanted the postmaster\u2019s trade, so he agreed to sell the goods and take in payment $1,000 worth of stamps.The postmaster at once ordered the stamps from Washington, sending $400 for the payment of them, of course having deducted his 00 per cent.The Postmaster-Gen- eral made a kick, but the stamps had to come under the contract which the Rochester postmaster had with the government.The old man made $600 and Mr.Cowlessold $1,000 worth of goods.\u201d Eight Words and All the Letters.Half a dozen members of the Press Club were discussing the peculiarities of the English language the other evening when Dr, F.E.Rice took the Argus to task for printing a paragraph which read about as follows; \u201cThe following is said to be the shortest s2ntence in the English language containing all the letters of the alphabet: \u2018John P.Brady gave me a black walnut box of quite small size.\"Îheentire sentence contains less than twice the number of letters in thealphabet.\u201d \u2018That's a good sentence of its kind,\u201d said the Doctor, \u2018but I think if you will carefully study the sentence, \u2018Pack my box with five dozeu liquor jugs,\u2019 you will find that it contains less letters than the sentence you published, and yet omits no letter in the alphabet,\u201d Daughter's Influence, I had à very severe attack of bloody diarrhoea and was persuaded by my daughter to try Dr.Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, which I did with great su as less than two bottles cure me, 1t is worth its weight in gold.Mrs, MARGARET WUJN, Pembrooke, Ont.5 PR : gmoke Nelsy Bays 1890 Cigars.RAILWAYS, 5] i) PES Er Delaware HudsonRR \u2014AND\u2014 LAKE CHAMPLAIN & GEORGE STEAMERS ShortestRoute to NEN YORK \u2014 AND To- .Saratoga, Troy, Albany, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wage hington, AND ALL POINTS SOUTH AND EAST Quick Time.[No Delays TRAINS LEAVE MONTREAL 1.30 a m.\u2014Dally, except Sun in Now York at 8.50 Pp Pas Buster Drawing room car, Montreal to New York, 5 45 p.m.\u2014Night Express, Sundays included \u2014~Waguer's Buffet VestibaleSleeping Car runs through to New York without change, arriving in New York ai /.00 next morning.T This: Train makes (Sloss ecnnection af roy an any wit i Boston arriving A »3 ain ping Car Train for ew Yor rou alls and - riod via this line, © Express car Information ven and Tickets sold \u2018ai Windsor and Ba'moral Hotels, all Grand Trunk Offices; and at the Company's Office.148 St.James Street, Montreal.J.W.BURDICK, W.H.HENRY, General Pass Agt.Agent, 1 ontreal.Albany, N.Y.M MONTREAL AND OTTAWA Trains Leave Bonaventure Depot at 9 00 A M.arriving at Ottawa at 12.30 p.m.6 00 P.M, arriving at Ottawa at 9.45 p.m.Morning train stops at Alexandria only on C.A.Ry.Evening train stops at all stations on tho C.A.Ry.: Train Leave Ottawa 8 00 A M.arriving in Montreal at 11.38 » am 5.007.arriving in Montreal at 8.20 Morning train stops all stations on C.A.Ry.Evening train stops only at Casselman and Alexandria on C.A.Ry.Boston trains leaving Ottawa at 2 p.m, and arriving at Ottawa at 11.35 a.m, will do local service both ways MONTREAL AND VALLEYFIELD.Trains Leave Canadian Pacific Windsor street Depot at 9 2 AM.arriving at Valleyfield at 11.20 \u2018 a.m.5 | 5 P.M., arriving at Valleyfleld at 7.35 !

Makes a Hit Rosina Vokes\u2019 New Play.There is one other article which the Canadian government ought to put upon its list of dutiable goods\u2014it isthe American \u201cprevaricator of truth.\u201d Now there are so many advance agents for theatrical companies cuir g into the country that it would well pay the customs people to take the duty off molasses and put it upon the agents.Mind you, I dont accuse all those gentlemen who come here to work up à good house of deliberately telling upiruths\u2014 not by any means\u2014but they often mislead the prees, and the result will be that a newspaper will soon be afraid to give any notice to a play or the producing company until after the first performance is seen.1 remember well the agent of the \u201cShanty Queen\u2019 Company stating that no finer attraction would be seen et the Academy than that production, yet the fact of the matter is that no worse trash or barnstorming pevple,as a whole, have been seen in;Mon- sreal for a very long time, There were several other cases.which I could mention, and which had to do with both theatres, and also with agents for singers, musicians and lecturers ; the agent for one of the latter attractions telling decided untruths which so tickled the Montreal Press Club that they cracked up a man who turned out a fail ure, who talked so low that few could hear him (though the effort cost them a good penny), and those who did bear kim thought it would be better for him to confine his efforts to writing and not to lectaring.Apropos of this subject, why does not the Press Clab go in tor a rousing good concert to assist their finances?I hope some of the agents will take this gentle hint; I'm sure it would do them good.- We have not heard much of Margaret Mather lately, but she seems determined that she shall not be forgotten.She recently sent it broadcast that she intended to play \u201c Juliet\u201d to Sarah Bern- \u2018hardt\u2019s \u201cRomeo.\u201d Now she might play the part very nicely, bat with all due respect for her ability I think the proper person to play * Juliet\u201d to Bernbardt\u2019s \u201cRomeo\u201d is Mr.Henry Irving.He wouldn\u2019t have much trouble with his hair and as for a wardrobe, why he could borrow Miss Mather\u2019s for the occasion.What a hit he would make! But all joking aside, wouldn't it be nice to again see Margaret Mather, Dion Boucicault, Dixey, Sol.Smith Russell and many others.It is now said that in the latter the legitimate successor of Joseph Jefler- son has been found.Boucicault says that they each proceed on the same methods.Perhaps they do, but why that ehould make Russell a good successor I don't know.Their styles are entirely different and it would be just as funny to see Russell playing \u201cRip Van Winkle\u201d as to see Jefferson playing the student in \u201cBewitched.\u201d I just heard a very funny story about Jefferson, which I think ie worth repeating : .Joe went upon one occasion to General Sherman\u2019s room and throwing his light coat upon a chair spent an hour in chatting.When he was gone the General fouud a roll of paper tied with red tape\u2014tie old red tape that he knew so well.- He picked it up, and running after Jee shouted at the top of his voice\u2014I mean at the top of the stairs.When Joe re- tyrned he was asked if he had dropped the M 3a.With a look of joy he exclaimed: «Sherman, you have saved my life.\u201d \u201cWhat do you mean; how have I | saved your life?\u201d .\u201cWhy,\u201d said Jefferson with that familiar twinkle in his eye, \u201cI am publishing ay life and that is the first chapter \u201d One of our old favorites, Kate Castle- \u2018ton, is again in trouble.In fact it seems as though she is never rid of trouble.Her company, which included some very good people, have been notified that they will not be wanted, as all engagements for the season have been cancelled, The play in which she was to star was \u201cJust for Lack\u201d, and it appears that she is disgatisfied with it.Well, I don\u2019t wonder much that she is, because she has Lever really been satisfied with anything she bas done since she first sang \u201c For goodress sake, don\u2019t say 1 told you\u201d She isn't even satisfied with her husband and the result is that they are going to teparate.It will only add another divorce to a long list already anted to members of the profession bich has only itself to blame for the Stains cast upon it by its own members.I see that Lady Dunlo is not to be parted from her husband after all.He lawyer admitted \u2014(no use denying it)\u2014that she used to sing on Music Hall stages for a living.And he says that though that is a matter of reproach she must submit to x Now dont know anything about this gentleman, but if he supposes that because Lady Dunlo was connected with the stage that it is a matter for reproach his observation has not been so keen nor his oenclusions so correct as they might have been.It is not my business to into the morals of any public enter- er, but if Lady Dunlo nas never done anything worse than sing upon the stage of a music hall, she is free from reproach altogether.There ara those who are connected with the stage, as well as those who act on the stage, both men and women, who do many things far worse than Lady Danlo.Take a look at Mr.Schoenberg, the author(?), who recently claimed to have written the new y, \u201cThe Banker,\u201d yet when it was put on the boards at the Windsor in Pew York last week, a well-known critic stamped it at once as * Henry Dunbar\u2019, rechristened.Tom Taylor wrote \u201c Henry * Dunbar,\u201d and the Now Yorker says that all the good in \u201cThe Banker \u201d is Tay- dor\u20198, aud all the bad Schoenberg's.This ie not aa isolated case, by any means, What's the matter with \u201c The Brigands ?\u201d We enjcyed the opera when it was here, bat we would bave liked it just as well had it been produced under its own mame.Wonder what has become of our old friend Harry Paalton lately.Has he re- sarned to the company of his faithful Moysten Tedde (Oid Harry and Young Harry, you know, erly Young Harry's name is Edward), there to mediiate fa- ure operatic triamp* s?It rather strange what became of thas Walsh cperet:a he bad sketched out soune years ago.It was THE MONTREAL HERALD SATURDAY AUGUST excraciatingly funny and bas never béen tried on th's side of the Atlanti.We are awaiti: g something new in burlesyne this season, snd perhaps Paulton is the an cestined to supply it;

«J promised her all that a young lover who gives no thought of the morrow can promise\u2014to love her all my life, to marry her, to make her happy.And we built (in Spain) enchanted palaces.On the fine oaths and beautiful dreams of youth ! « Claire had the fullest confidence in me; all that I said to her she believed: She was without care, without fear ; she would have braved anything to throw herself in my arms.The future opened before her sunny and superb.\u201c A business matter in the office which had been specially entrusted to me, put me in connection with a director of a New York banking house.This director, M.Debru- ere, was a Frenchman.My signature, aul Joraime, at the end of the letters which I addressed to him struck him.« He wrote me & personal letter, asking if I was the son of Valentine Joramie, ex- ciseman, whom he knew very well in former days, and of whom he wasan intimate friend.«I answered in the affirmative, telling him at the same time that I was an orphan, and acquainting him with my situa- on.«Shortly afterwards I received another letter from Mr.Debruyere, saying in substance: \u2018I was your father\u2019s friend, and I also knew your mother, for I was present at her marriage.I saw you born, so to speak, and I kissed you many times.I say this to show you how much am interested in you and your fortune «Though the hazards of fortune have brought nie here to New York, Ihave not forgotten France, and I remember the baby whom I used to trot upon My knees at Nevers.« \u2018Your letters have revealed to me your fitness for business, and youcan, I think, do better than you are doin If I am not mistaken, you have a brillient future before you, But in your office you have risen as ar as you can.Without money, the career of a notary is barred against you.Your future, then, is limited unless you take a resolution worthy of you and the talent which I tecognize in you.«« I advise you to leave your place and come to me ;

* almost always those whose lot seems the most enviable feel the keenest sorrows.\u201d He shook his head sadly and continued : .«M.Joramie has given me à very difficalt mission.\u201d \u201cTrue, Count.\u201d \u201cBut I accept it, or rather we accept it, for I count on you my dear friend.\u201d The old man\u2019s eyes sparkled.\u201cThen I shall have something to do,\u201d said he;

hut, you see, when one has been all his life a man ®f action, fond of adventure, he does not easily settle down to a calm, peaceful existence.Consequently I shall not be sorry to shake off my idleness.\u201d \u201cWhen shall we begin, then ?\u201d \u201cWhy, as soon-as possible.\u201d « will start this evening, if you desire it.\u201d \u201cNo, before doing anything we will wait ten or twelve days; I have my reasons for that.Meanwhile, you can get ready ab your leisure.We shall have frequent interviews, aud we will consult together as to the best ways and means of attaining success.igh M.Joramie undoubtedly has not neglected to enquire at Bourgneut and Bourgvoisin, it will be a good plan, I think, to begin our investigations there.At any rate, we shall sce; we shall decide, The newspapers, which now cireulate everywhere, even in the country villages, will probably be of great assistance to us,\u201d \u2018* À question, Count.\u201d \u201c1 am listening.\u201d « What shall you de, if, as we must hope, you find Claire Guerin?Upon that point M.Joraniie says nothing.\u201d ) \u201cJt is to be supposed that some other document left by the deceased will acquaint us with his intentions.\u201d + Exactly.Evidenly M.Joramie has arranged his affuirs with this in view.\u201d «Soon, I think, we shall have some satisfactory information on this subject.\u201d With these words M.de Soleure dismissed Mourillon.As the lawyer, Simeon, had said to Joseph Rabiot, the magistrate appeared at the Jor- amie mansion on Monday morning at 9 o'clock to remove the seals.The heirs: were present, Rabiot, very anxious, the others in a very joyful frame of mind.At last they were coming to something definite.The lawyer left the magistrate to proceed with the removal of the wax seals, and he and his men installed themselves in M.Joramie\u2019s study.Then M.Simeon sent for Joseph Rabiot and the others, and next of all the servants of M.Joramie, including Henry Cordier.Under the lawyer's instructions Clement had placed chairs in the study for every one.« Now, there is no room for doubt,\u201d thought Rabiot, * there is a will It is like him to have given half his fortune to strangers.LL The gracious cousin was pale and his heart beat violently.The Parizots and the Fourels waited calmly, the father smiling on his daughter, the wife on her husband.The famous lawyer and his clerks were seated at his large desk of ebony, inlaid with silver.When all was silent he lifted his head, cast a glance over the company, and said, addressing the secretary : « Have you, sir, the keys of the safe od s No, sir.\u201d « Where are they ?\u201d « Probably in M.Joseph Rabiot\u2019s pocket,\u201d answered Clement Baudoin.\u201c(ive them to me, M.Rabiot,\u201d said the lawyer, extending his hand.he latter continued: Ladies and gentlemen, in conformity with the wishes of the deceased we are first to open the safe, which contains books that will immediately acquaint us with the amount of M.Joramie\u2019s fortune ; it is likewise in execution of M.Joramie's wishes that I come here to-day, the twelfth day after his death.\u201d He approached the safe.* Ah he exclaimed, *¢ there is fv secret word necessary to open this safe.\u201d And with a look he questioned Rabiot.\u201cI do not know it,\u201d answered the cousin, boldly.« Who is there here, then, thet knows the word ?\u201d : \u201cI\u201d answered the old valet de chambre.\u201c Ab! and the word is\u2014\u201d\u201d + Claire, \u2014C-l-a-i-r-e.\u201d Joseph Rabiot and Henri Cordier exchanged rapid glances.In a moment the safe was opened, within which, on tables of metal forming shelves were to be seen enormous bundles of bank notes, bags of gold stacked upon one another, and piles of paper representing values.The beirs opened wide their eyes Motionless, almost breathless, they seemed like | statues.The notary took à book, epened it on the desk and read : SATURDAY AUGUST 23 Values contained in off enfe this day, Maths + Gold.L Lecce as can Cee Frome Rank notes.UT 00 70,000 shares in the Lyons, Orloan-.Waters, Eastern and Southern Railways in the Suez Canal, in the Gas om panii atd it che mmibn- Canpang, the tow vaiue of th seid ghares by the day > quo'atuons ins - Jewels und poce.ous stones cone ved 148.000 in the steel \u2018aske\u2019, in.ludting tt fol lowing: A watch set with dinmouds, anotbér set with sapphires and fae pearls, an emerakl riuc, à parl ne klace, a ginmond clasp, a sv urd- hilt ornamented with fae rls, & diadem, two braceledd, cafrugs a broach, cte., ete.the whole valued by experts at.800,000 Total Less Leu .30, Certificate of value depssited in Lu Smo Bank of France, incudimg bonds, stocks and various obligattons, on \u2018h group of titles boing marked with its own number and value, all amounting to a total, figured at the 4 bottom uf the thirtyv-eic \"> Sume deposited : In the Bank of Discount.1n the Society of Deposits and acosunts LL iia eee.120,000 In the Bank of Two Worlds.700,000 Real estate, valued a x imate! .as fellows: Pore 7 ion on the Avenue Wagram.2, fs non the Avenue Champé em, Elysees | ee Lo.2,000,000 House on the Boulevard Hauseman.1,200,000 House on the Rue Turbige .800.000 House on the Boulevard Magenta .510.000 Farms in Vertbois, Normandy .1,600,000 Country seats, forests and in the domain of Lamballe.4,000,000 Country house in Louveciemnes.300.000 \u2018 Have you taken down the figures, lawyer,\u201d asked he of his head clerk.The addition gave a total of thirty-five million two hundred and tea d francs ($7,042,000).The cousins looked at each other, thoroughly astounded.Their female relatives looked as if they would faint away.\u201cIt is to be noted,\u201d said the lawyer, \u201cthat M.Joramie, in making an estimate of the amount of his fortune, has omitted, perhaps iotentionally, to mention bis ele.ant furniture, the value of which, accord- ng to the estimation at #he inventory, will have to be added to the figure now before | ente t Certainly,\u201d he added, seeming to address himself to the cousins, \u2018 this is a superb fortune, a magificant inheritance.\u201d \u201c Oh ! our poor cousin ! \u201d sighed Madame Parizzot.And she made a semblance of whim- ring.Madamoiselle Anastasia took out her kandkerchief, and tried to pretend to be wiping away tears.Lawyer P.M.Simeon produced a large envelope, whose seal of white wax had been broken by the judge presiding over the first chamber of the civil court.fre showed the package to everybody, and on the envelope each could read these words © ¢ This is my will.\u201d The cooper gave a start.«Vell, well ! \u201d exclaimed Parizot, * this is à horse ot another color.\u201d «Qo there is a will,\u201d said Fourel, with a choking voice, \u2018\u201c yet, cousin, you assured us.\u201d \u201cLet us alone,\u201d answered Rabiot, in crusty tones.\u2019 « Gentlemen,\u201d said M.Simeon, \u201c1 beg you to keep silence, remain each in your place, and listen to the reading of M.oramic\u2019s will, written by himself.\u201d The lawyer Onst a rapid glance at those present, made sure that his glasses were \u201c squarely on his nose, ahd took the will from its envelope.The silence became solemn.One could have heard a fly crawl across the window nes.«Ladies and gentlemen, please listen with the greatest attention.1 begin.\u201d «Go ahead,\u201d said Parizot, throwing him- gelf back in his chair and crossing his legs.«This notary will never get through,\u201d thought Fourel ; \u2018\u201c is is easy to see that he is paid by the hour.\u201d Joseph Rabiot, the blood rushing to his head, loosened his cravat.CHAPTER VIIL THE WILL.The voice of the notary, slow, grave, clear, sonorous, rose amid the silence.+ To-day, the twenty-sixth of February.one thousand eight hundred and eighty- three, I, Abel-Paul Joramie, sick of body but sound of mind and in full possession of my reason and my mind, write my will, which Master Simeon, my notary, will read in the presence of all interested parties, if that is possible, the twelfth day after my death.The cousins, male and female, their eyes } sparkling, raised their lieads and elongated their necks.Article 1.\u2014*1 make my residuary legatee Claire Guerin.\u201d A triple exclamation came from the relatives.«Claire Guerin,\u201d said Fourel, \u2018who is Claire Guerin?Where is this residuary legatee, of whom we have never heard ?\u201d \u201cOur covein Jorame was not in bis right mind when he wrote that,\u201d continued Fou- reL \u2018XVe will attack this iniquitous will and break it.\u201d + You will do as you please,\u201d replied M.Simeon, coldly;

but they have made me lose m, time and they will have to pay me for it; shall claim damages and interest.\u201d \u201cYou can withdraw if you like, monsieur,\u201d answered the notary, \u201c\u201c nevertheless, I advise you to stay and listen to the text of the will with the nature of the article that conoerns all three of yon.\u201d « Al ! there is an article for us,\u201d said Parizot, faliing back into his seat.Joseph Rabiot breathed not a word, he was sulfocating.?Claire Guerin ! Claire Guerin ! mura- bled the farmer's wife ; it seems to me I know that name.M.Simeon\u2019s last words produced an immediate effect.There was a pacification.Seeing quiet almpst re-established, he began to read again.\u201cI make my residuary legatee Claire Guerin, born in the village of Bourgvoisin, or, in case Claire Guerin should no longer be living, the son or daughter who may have Leen born te her in the course of the year 1838, declaring that Claire*Guerin was my betrothed, and recognizing tpat the child is mine.\u201d « Claire Guerin !\u201d repeated Madam Pari- sot in her thought ; \u2018ah! I must remember.\u201d The lawyer continued : «t Claire Guerin, or her heirs, in a direct line shall be searched for by all possible means, and, as soon as found, be put in possession of all my property, real and personal, and values of whatever description, without any contest, save the donations and legacies hereinafter designated, which shall be paid within two months after my death by ny executor, assisted by Master Simeon, wy notary.\u2018Article 2\u2014I bequeath to my good and fuithful servants the sum of two hundred and twenty-eight thousand francs, to be divided among them in proportion to their ears of service with me, or two thousaad cs for each year of service.\u2018Thus, Clement Baudoin, ny old valet de chambre, in my service for thirty-five years, will receive seventy thousand francs, whila Jules Blomain, the most recent of my domestics, in my service but four years, wi receive but eight thousand francs.Article 3.\u2014I bequeath to the city of Paris the sum of two millions, for commu- mal schools for both sexes.Article 4.\u2014I bequeath to the public re- | Jief fu~d: First, five hundred thousand Loancs tor the poor.Second.five handred 1, if you wish to know forth- | ba 0 Bil 125.+ Des ue 3 a wluls- housse Third, a mitiion for the support of fo.lhngs : Article 5-1 hAynneE 10 &: WAM 12e sc.oul at Nevers, w arb mas à = udeaty tire swt of onc hora ed ten cn : ru te eat chié-h à pre ual nd ta hes wl te .- .Article 8.\u2014If after teu years\u2019 searvh, das img fram the day of my death, Tirol ueria, or her heirs, in # direct line, have not lcem found, my estate shall then to my cousins \u2014Jassph Rabiot, a° proprwtor, living i» Paris ;

I remember now.\u201d The lawyer came back to his desk and said : « Ladies and gentlemen, the meeting is over, I am going to begin the inventory.\u201d He locked the safe, put the keys in his pocket, and then, followed by his clerks and experts, he went down to the large drawing room on the ground floor.The scrvants all \u2018withdrew together, and no one was left in the study but the three cousins, their female relatives and the sec- ote .«7 am going up to my room,\u201d said Madame Parizot ; I am going to pack our trunk.\u201d «\u201c Mysterioüsly she approached Fourel and whispered in his ear: \u2018I shall wait in our room for you and your daughter.\u201d From Fourel she passed to Joseph Rabiot and said to him, likewise in a low voice: \u201c Get rid quickly of this M.Cordier and come in a moment to meet us upstairs.\u201d Then, in a loud voice, addressing her husband: + Come, my man, come ; we shall start this evening.Ah! I have had enough of Paris and of this house.\u201d Rabiot hastened to the upper floor and found the members of the family impatiently awaiting him.: \u201cCome,\u201d said Madam Parizot after having carefully locked the door, \u2018\u2018 why so mue mystery?!

paid For a mantel ; a tortoise-shell comb ; spent for a journey in town, ete., etc.« T amused myself for a moment in turning over the leaves of this book, On one of the pages I read this, writtenin the farmer\u2019s wife's hand : « Claire Guerin, age 21, came to us on * * + 1 did not remember the date inscribed on the little book.\u201d \u201c Oh ! oh!\u201d ssid Rabiot whose eyes sparkled ; ** this is getting serious.\u201d Parizot was dumb with stupefaction.\u2018As for Mademoiselle Anastasia, she was in, ecstacies, seeming to be listening to angels\u2019 voices.q That very day, or the next,\u201d continued the farmer's wife, \u2018* I said to Beau-Soupir : « ¢ You have told me that you have forgotten your real name, but was it not Claire Guerin ¥ «¢ She looked at me steadily, shook her head and calmly continued her work.Surely \u201cshe was determined not to be known.\u201d s¢ Perhaps she is not Claire Cuerin,\u201d suggested Rabiot.** There has been more than one servant at the farm of Grandval.\u201d «That is true, but I can easily satisfy myself on the point.The old shepherd of whom J bave often spoken has an excellent memory, and he will recall, almost to a month, the time when Beau-Soupir came to the farm.\u201d + However that may be, it is certain, from what you have just told us, that the youn, irl Claire Guerin had lived at the farm of irandval.++ I thought no more of the discovery I had accidentally made ; the thing interested me but little then, and I had entirely for: gotten the name of Claire Guerin when the notary recalled it to my mind in reading the wilL\u201d « Very queer, cousin,\u201d said Fourel.Rabiot, with wrinkled brow, reflected.- «Hm, hm, we shall have to see,\u201d he mur mured.« What shall we have to see, cousin ¥ asked Madam Parizot.«wf will tell you that when the timé comes.So far we have nothing but an hypothesis ; now, We must be certain.\u201d Then you will not believe?\u201d * Yes, cousin, yes ; but we must be sure We must make others believe.That is the ditficalty.Your first duty, on reaching your farm, will be to get more light on this affair.Above all, be prudent, very prudent.\u201d « On that point, cousin, you need not be -distnrbed.\u201d You must neither say nor do anything that might embarrass us later, for, if yout servant is really Claire Guerin, we shall not have to work in our old age.I do not say what we shall do: I do not know yet} but we must be masters of the situation.\u201c M.Joramie\u2019s millions we have not yet lost ; we should be idiots if we did nothing to get possession of the estate.Must one always throw tha heive after tbe hatchet, 1 should like to know ?\u201cWe must not think of attacking\u2019 the will : that would be the worst of stapidi- ties, for we would have our labor for our ins We shall find a better plan, I be- leve.Cousin Joramies estate is lar euongh to warrant ve in taking a little trouble to prevent it from going to waste.Po you not think so?\u201d * Certainly.\u201d ¢ Then we must not go to sleep, but hold ourrelves im readiness to profit by any cir- cumetances that may present themselvez We must have the ilkons, and we will + have them.\u201d All listened to Rabiot attentively, with a sort of admiration, as if he had been an oracte,and the bilious countenances «x pr by terns covetonsets, wevalitg, hope and doubt.«* Let us calculate,\u201d continued ths saperb cousin ;

and every extension of telegraphio facilities seems to call forth corresponding extension of work from the business world.Some idea of the amount of bussness done, of the elaborate plan put into use, and the amount of labor other curiosities.The repairers\u2019 quarters are on this flat and the fire alarm, as well as a quantity of hose attached to the water pipes and available for instant service in case of necessity.It may here be mentioned that fire protection apparatus is to be found om every flat.Operating Room.Coming down to the third flat the Repor\u2019er was ushered into the Operating Room, where work is furnished to 95 operators.The instruments, which are quadruplex, duplex, repeaters and single sets, are attached to 20 quartette tables.The quadruplex and duplex instruments are used on the longer cir- cuits\u2014the duplex to Chicago, North Sydney, C.B., and Halifax, the distance to the latter point being 800 miles ;
