PARLIAMENT, Proposed Amendmentto'the Land Purchase Bill, GLADSTONE WANTS IRISH OPINION.Government Alterations\u2014Eviction for None Payment-Money Cost ofthe Purchase.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Loxnon, Dec, 2\u2014In the House of Commons this evening Mr.Balfour moved that the House procaed to a second reading of the Government\u2019s Irish land purchase bill.Mr.Elles moved an amendment, declaring that the measure was unsafe to Imperial Fxchequer and unjust.Mr.Gladstone said the changes in the bill since the last session were not likely to make it more satisfactory.There was a removal of the 20 years\u2019 limit, with a proposal that the country ratepayers become Jliable for sums borrowed in the purchase of lands.Did not Mr.Balfour think that the vote of the ratepayer might stop land purchase in many districts?Mr, Balfour nodded assent.Mr.Gladstone continuing said,it would be a great mistake to pass a bill opposed to the desires of the Irish members, and a8 circumstances prevented the presence of the Irish members to-night he would not dwell upon that poius The lack of Irish authority went to the root of the matter and impelled true friends of Ireland to oppose the bill.Mr.Balfour replying to the remarks by Mr.Chamberlain estimated the total required to meet the purchases at $950, 000; he said he would reconsider the question of the 20 years\u2019 limit.Referring to the eviction of tenantry for default in payment for land, he said the state would not become an evictor.The Land Committee, acting in the interest of the local authorities, would

of a barber shop, at No.8 Terauley-street.He had been drinking heavily of late and was in the habit of using laudanum as well as alcoholic liquors.Last night when he came to the barber shop where he had often been accommodated with a bed in a back room, he had a two ounce bottle of the narcotic in his hand.This morning his body was found as stated and the bottle was empty.Whether the dose was

the money has been spent chiefly in drinking.elle A School Representative Interviewed.At the Fire Commissioners\u2019 investigation yesterday three lawyers applied for permission to appear on behalf

demonstration at the Battery on Saturday night and that he acted as one of the officers.He received an invitation to be present, at the meeting but did not attend.He could not, he said, commit so grave an indiscretion as to attend a meeting of such character while occupying his present position towards the English Government.Mr.Lincoln will start for England at the end of this month.WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 3 1890.the Candle (HERBERT).PARNELL STOCK ON THE UP GRADE Irish Constituencies Profess Continued Confidence in Their Time Tried Leader.HIS OPPONENTS WILL BE SWEPT AWAY, Experienced Parliamentarians Predict His Assured and Speedy Triumph, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Loxpox, Dec.2.\u2014The Telegraph is not alone in its opinion that there is a good deal of \u2018unserious humor\u201d about the Irish members ip their quarrel over the esdersbip.It is plain that at present a majority exists against Mr.Farnell.\u201cWhy then,\u2019 many ask, \u201cdo not the majority settle the matter by a simple vote, instead of cringing before Mr, Parnell and allowing him to preside over a body which is discussing his case and not only to preside, but to show the most outrageoue unfairness in presiding ?\u2019 Good parliamentarians say that it would be perfectly regular for the members opposed to Mr.Parnell to meet by themselves and vote him out of the leadership, if they constitute a majority of the party.The reason this is not done, however, is that it would have the appearance of irregularity, no matter how regular it might really be, and this fact would be vsed in Mr, Parnell\u2019s favor among the more ignorant portions of the Irish cons- tituenties.And it must be remembered that no matter what the meetings in London may decide, the final decision rests with the Irish people.Parnell does not care what the present members do in his case; even if every one of his present opponents should return to his support to-morrow, he would seek to retire them to private life by an adverse vote of their constituents and have a new set of representatives elected in his interest.Both sides vtherefore are sticklers for regularity, and are \u201cspeaking for Buncombe.\u201d In all they do the meetings of the Irish members are governed by the rules of the House of Commons which do not provide for any appeal from the decisions of the .chair.This gives Parnell an immense advantage over his enemies.So long as he ratains the chair, and he retains the chair now simply because it was customary for him to occupy it, and à meeting of Irish members without Parnell in the chair would easily be misinterpreted in Ireland.It looks as if Mr.Parnell would be able to keep the discussion of his case dragging along until he has secured the favorable expressions of opinion which he is seeking from.a majority of the Irish constituencies.A goodly number of these endorsements came in by telegraph to-day, much to the trepidation of the rebels, and the remoter country districts where Parnell\u2019s influence is naturally stronger than even in the cities have not even begun to be heard from.The anti-Parnell- ites are also staggered by the fact that the more experienced leaders, on both sides of the House, seem to have no confidence in their success.Harcourt on the one hand, and Balfour on the other, have both privately expressed the opinion that ¥\u2019arnell will ultimately triumph, that be will carry the people with him and efface all serious oprosition in the ranks.Sir Willlam Harcourt Has a Say, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Loxpox, Dec.2.\u2014Sir William Harcourt writes confirming Mr.Justin McCarthy\u2019s statement at yesterday's Nationalists\u2019 meeting, as to the result of the recent interview between those two gentlemen.He says he did not regard Mr, Parnell\u2019 proposals as practical.He told Mr, McCarty that the condition of secrecy was inadmissable.A document accepting the proposals - could be of no value to Mr.Parnell or any one else, unless it were made known.Besides, he did not attach any importance to Mr.Parnells pledge of secrecy.The statements of Mr.Parnell in relation to his (Harcourt\u2019s) views and conduct were unworthy of notice and opposed to truth.Chicago Fakes Blocked, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Cnrcaco, Dec.2\u2014The following card was given to the United Press this afternoon by Messrs.Dillon, O'Brien, O'Con- nor, Sullivan and Gill: ** All newspaper statements purportiug to be interviews with us are pure inventions.Our views were clearly expressed in our published declaration, to which we adhere.It is a mistake to suppose that our determination was in any manner influenced by private cablegrams from London.We now await the decision of the representatives of the Irish people.Parnell\u2019s Supporters Very Active, SPECIAL TO THE BERALD, DusuN, Dec.2\u2014The National League met in regular weekly meeting in this city.The proceedings were of a stormy character.When the names of Sexton and Healy were mentioned they were greeted with hisses and groans and a violent speech was made by the Chairman in favor of Parnell.A resolution was moved by a Protestant member, seconded by a Catholic priest*calling upon the people of Ireland to come to the support of Mr.Parnell.The resolution Was carried without a dissenting vote.The National League branches at Bal- lyand have telegraphed .Mr.Finquer that he must choose between the alternative of resigning his position in Parlia- went or supporting Mr.Parnell.The board of guardians at Abbeyleix,Queen\u2019s county, bave decided to stand by Parnell.At Rathcormack and Charleville, Cork county, the National League branches have passed resolutions endorsing the position assumed by Mr.Parnell.The U.8.Enyoys Getting Anxious, APECIAL TO THE HERALD.CuicaGo, Dec.2\u2014It is semi-officially stated that in the event of Parnell being It is a Poor sustained, all the Irish envoys except Harrington will at once return to England and probably resign their seats in the House of Commons.Harrington has had numerous advices from London to-day and states that their general purport is to the effect that Parnell is playing a winning game, Even Dillon and (O\u2019Brien admit that the way Parnell handled the conference yesterday has greatly improved his prospects, and that it is not unlikely that he will win.Jno.Devoy to-day received a cablegram from Sheriff Clancy, of Dablin, urging him to use his influence for Parnell, as Gladstone was trying to sacrifice the unbribable, Mr.Harrington

transferred to this late period of the !year in the hope that it will prove a more suitable time.Among the beautiful articles on the fancy table and at the art stall there will be many things very handsome and exceedingly appropriate for Christmas presents.The children\u2019s tea table presided over by Mrs I L Morris is to be a great attraction.For $1 a little girl can invite three of her little companions to afternoon tea and they are sure to have a good time.The flower stall and the candy table deserve to be well patronised.But above everything it is hoped that the coarse clothing table will be the great attraction of the bazazr for the charitably disposed of our city.pe Men on Bail Women in Jail, The police of central aistrict raided two disorderly bouses on St.Dominique-

but just what will be done with the kitten has not yet | been decided.It is not likely that it will be committed to jail for being an inmate of a disorderly house, as it will be diffienlt to prove

Alliance and Industrial Union met at noon to-day.There was almost a full attendance.The proceedings were opened by the reading of President Polk\u2019s annual address.The address congratulates the Alliance on its achievements since the last meeting and then reviewed the causes of agricultural depression.The President declared that this depression is an anomaly to the student of industrial progress.\u2018\u201c Retrogression in American agriculture,\u201d he said, \u201c means national decay, and powerful and promising as is ths giant Republic yet its power and glory touch mot the

Fute\u2014Legislative Sanction to a Family Arrangement, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Queszec, Dec, 2\u2014The greater part of sitting was passed in discussing a private bill respecting the estate of the late Hon.Charles Seraphin Rodier.À number of members spoke for and against the bill.Amongst the opponents of the measure were Messrs.Pelletier, Fitzpatrick, Dechenes and Souliet.The latter moved the six months\u2019 hoist.The champions of tLe bill were Hon.Messrs, Mercier, Boyer, Blanchett, Robidoux and Mec- Shane, Messrs.Desmarais, Leblanc and Rainville, the promoter.Mr.Rainvilie said that Mr.Rodier gave his wife the usufruct of all his estate, without any obligation to render account.The estate produced an annual revenue of $80,000.One clause of the will prohibited her from giving their children more than a certain allowance, which it was claimed now was insufficient to enable them to live as becomes their station.Mrs.Ro- dier pretends to bave the right to give them whatshe thinks proper, in virtue of the clause of the will which gives her the usufruct of ihe whole estate.According to an affidavit produced by Mrs.Rodier, she claimed that this would appear to have been the intention of the testator.The object of the bill was to remove all doubts as to the rights claimed by Mrs.Rodier, and to regularize the position of the curator to the estate.ills of the same nature bad already been approved by the House, and this one fell within its attributes and was asked unanimously by all the interested parties.Mr, Fitzpatrick ridiculed the idea of the House being called upon to modify or break a man\u2019s will, and said if that was within the limit of its powers it might next be called upon where a man dies intestate to make a will forhis heirs.We bad in this Province the Legislature to make laws, the executive to enforce them and the judiciary to expound them.The House might make or unmake laws, but it was not i's prerogative to expound them.The Court of Appeals of Ontario had decided in the Goodhue case, which be particularly cited to the Attorney General, that even when the Legislature passed upon the disposal of an estate it was ultra vires for it do so in regard to that portion of the reveuues derived from sources outside the Province.He had due respect for the opinion expressed by the leader of the opposition, who Was the peer cf any legal mind either in THREE CENTS.$6.00 A YEA) 2 or out of the House, but in this matter could not avoid differing from him.There was mo donbt the Legislature might enact any amendments it desired to the Civil Code.It might if it liked declare that a man should not make a will at all; but while it was permissible to people to will their property before death as they, deemed best be protested that the House had no more right to interfere with such than it had to intr ude iteelf into any contract which be made with his neigbbor.Suppose he bad willed all his estate to a hospital, would the house have been justified in interfering\u201d What were the courts for?1n reply to an interruption from Mr.Blanchet he said that if it wus conceded that the House could pass upon the disposal of the revenues of the estate, then by implication they could also decide concerning its capital.Mr.McShane said he was well acquainted with Madame Rodier and her excellent family, and that there was no where a better or more deserving womau than the widow, or a finer family than hers in the world.He fels sure that after all his friends, the member for No.5 (Mr.Clendiuneng) would vote for what they wanted, for they were good, strong.solid supporters of his own.They ougt.t not to expect such nice young people to live upon a few hundred dollars a year and be thought the House ought to pass the bill upanimcusly.Hon.Mr.Mercier said that the principle of the bill was just, and that he would vote in favor of it.The matter was one w hich should be dealt with prudently.The will of the testator should not be ignored.In the present case the deceased seemed to have unintentionally neglected to make sufficient provision for the sons who had helped him in making the immense fortune which he had left at his death and who had unquestionably, by their influence, helped him to obtain the high position of senator.The revenue of this fortune smounted to $88,000 and the enjoy ment was left to Madame Rodier, one of the most distinguished women in Montreal.To some of his children he left $1200 a year, to others $600.Evidently he could not have intended to limit their means to these small sums, Mrs.Rodier has a 1ight by tLe will to spend the revenues as she pleases, but some doubt has arisen as to her right to give to her children larger revenues than those expressly mentioned in the will.The Legislature was now asked to authorize ber to give them $200 a month, to be taken from the large revenue which she at present enjoys.Mrs.Ro- dier consents to this, as does also the curator to the substitution.The question appears perfectly clear and the measure in no way violates the will of the late Mr.Rodier.Hon.Mr.Robidaux said the bill in question concerned private interests, but also involved an important principle.Mr.Pelletier had questioned whether the House could alter the testamentary dispositions of one deceased.Was the Eouse not the most important tribunal of ihe country, the supreme legislative and judiciary power in the Province?Any law passed by the Legislature under these circumstances would be constitutional.This House had abolished the different forms of wills in force under the French law and bad thue annulled a number of teetamentary provisions.In the present instance there was no question of tampering with the Rodier estate, it was simply a question of giving to the heirs a certain sum of money monthly, to be taken from the revenue of the estate in accordance probably with the will of the testator.This cannot possibly damage tbe interests of the grandchildren, Mrs.Rodier having absolute control of the revenues and not being obliged to account for the moneys spent.Extraordinary remedies must be used lo meet extreme cases, and this was one, and the request of the petitioners should be granted.The six months hoist was rejected by 44 to 19.Mr.Clendinneng spoke against the bill and voted for it, the explanation being that he was against the principle of tbe measure, but seeing it was about to be carried in spite of his opposition, he voted for it out of consideration for the family.A few private bills were passed and the House adjourned at 10.45.The Premier said that the railway resclutions would be ready at the beginning of next week and that the adoption of the bill concerning the Protestant Asylum for the Insane was delayed waiting the arrival of the deputation, Anti-Combine Grocers Organizing, A special and emergent mass meeting, called by the Grocers\u2019 Association, to which every retail grocer in the city is invited, will be held in the Mechanics\u2019 Long Room to-night.The special business brought before the meeting will relate to the present agitation against the combine inaugurated by the Wholesale Guild and decisive steps

Treasurer of the Province by appointment at Mr.Mercier\u2019s office in Quebec on Thursday morning at 11.30, to discuss the pro- poged amendments to the License Law, as they may affect the grocery

Dependencies\u2014 Excess of Exports.JEALOUS OF CANADIAN RAILWAYS.Possible Antagonistic Action Foreshadowed by the Secretary.-\u2014 SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.WaAsarsaton, D.C., Dec.2.\u2014The Secre-« tary of the Treasury\u2019s report says: The value of our foreign commoarce during the last fiscal year was greater thai for any previous year: It amounted to £1,647,139,093 as against $1,487,533,037 during the fiscal year 1889; an increase 1§159,608,066.; TLe value of imports of merchaudise also during the last fiscal year was the largest in the history of our commerce amounting to $789,310,409, as against $74£,131,652 during the fiscal year 1839; an increase of $44,178,767.The value of exports of merchandise during the same period was $857,828,634, as against $742,401,375 for the previous ear.y The exports exceeded the imports of merchandise by $68,518,275.The exports of domestic merchandise were $115,- 011,219 in excess of the value of such exports during the preceding year.The greater portion of the increase occurred in the following articles, stated in the order of magnitude of increase : Provisions, breadstuffs, raw cotton, iron ana steel and manufactures of vegetable oils, unmanufactured tobacco, and wood and manufactures of.This increase was in the following articles: Breadstuffs $31,049,266; provisions $32,- 142,069; cattle.and hogs $15,196,492, and raw cotton $13,193,522, a total of $91,- 581,349, The total value of exports of foreign and domestic products to Great Britain and Ireland was $447,895,662, of which $3,436,652 were foreign.Theim- ports from Great Rritain and Ireland were $136,488,956, The total trade with the British North American possessions shows that the exports of domestic products was $38,541,454 and of foreign p2,- 959,358, a total of $41,503,812, and the imports were $39,396,980, The exccss of exports to the British North Amerisza ossessions amounted to $2,106,832, here was a decrease in the value of domestic exports to the British possessions in North America of $1,262,228, snd to British Australia of $1,084,066 as compared with last year, and to these countries only is thers a decrease in domestic exports noted.There was a decrease of imports from the British North American possessions amounting to $3,612,493, British Australia $1,720.635, British West Indies $1,120,- 544, also decreased imports from Uruguay and Brazil The secretary\u2019s attention has been frequently directed to the unsatisfactory condition of Canadian railway traffic with the United States and many complaints have been made that the rules and regulations of this department, touching the bonding and sealing of cars, discriminate against our own people.It is manifestly unjust to accord Canadian railioads privil.ges denied to our own.If certainly was not the intention of Congress to relieve thote 10ads from obligations imposed upon our own transportation.Yet the practical working of the law, under the construction insisted upon by the Canadian companies, leads to that result.If their construction be accepted, Canadian railroads, not under bonds for the purpose, may transport dutiable merchandise from seaports in Canada fo places within the United States, with only nominal customs supervision, while our own railroads can mot carry like merchandise from Atlantic and Pacific ports, in the United States, to points wholly within cur own territory, except under heavy bond and \u201cStrict customs control.It is also urged with much earnestness and force that the combined effort of the Interstate Commerce Act and treasury regulations operate greatly to the disadvantage of our own transportation interests in competition with Canadian lines.Those Who make these complaints insist that the conduct of the Dominion Government towards our transportation and other interests, both on the land and water, does not suggest any ground for the extension of favors on our part and they protest against such acts of international courtesy at the expense of the very interests which Canadian policy has persistently sought to destroy.Several hearings have been given to persons interested in this subject, which will receive careful consideration with a view to removing as far as proper and practicable any just cause of com plaint against the action of this department.ee A Little Warmer To-day.TORONTO, Dec,

in reality.as mark ed by the stars, eastward.But mazy Mars has marched and counter-parched back and forth along the ecliptic ai most as restlessly as if he had been æ drill-sergeant practising his squad of soldiers out on a parade ground.In June, coming up to the Scorpion from behind, he passed dangerouslv near his head.Then having got directly in front of him he stopped for a while\u2014actually to our view stopped in mid-heaven, as if paralyzed by the monster's gaze.Then he turned and was slowly drawa/ down into his fiery, wide-open mouth.The process was slower even than thak: of a boa-constrictor swallowing his preys | and one of the fascinations of midsune-\u2018 mer was to view from night to night the progress made in this feast, so hor-| rible that it seemed almost a wonder, that Venus and the whole family of planets, several of them plainly in sight, { did not rush to his rescue.Just as he: was about to disappear down the long stellar esophagus, however, so that one: began to fear that the new forty-inch-.lensed telescope, from which so much is: expected two years from now, would never have a chance to observe him, the\u2018 warrior seemed suddenly to take in the: situation of how he himself was being: taken in, and drawing his sword,or some other weapon, and summoning up ali his martial skill he one night cut his: way directly through the back part of his devourer\u2019s head not far from the star Antares, and the next night appeared on the outside of it, giving am additional twinkle, as if all the time he\u2019 knew what he was about and was only making fun of our human fears.| It is this halting and turning and swinging back and forth of some of the planets\u2014Mazs in a way so utterly different from Venus and Mercury\u2014that made them a continual puzzle to the old astronomers, and to account for which was their most insoluble problem.' The explanation of it under the Copernican system as arising from the different distances and speeds of the planets, the earth included, revolving around the sun as a centre, is as simple as it is beautiful, and would alone be enough to vindicate its truth, even if it had no other evidence.Its value in\u2019 doing so ought to be answer forever to the common sneer against mere \u2018\u2018theories and theorizers,\u201d And watching the star's motions the past summer, one could but feel a fresh reverence for the eyes of the great Prussian, specta- cled with his theory, who, first looking into what so long had been set down as lawlessness and disorder\u2014a sort of cel-, estial anarchy\u2014beheld in it the operation only of a higher harmony and a.diviner law\u2014symbol, perhaps, of the way in which we all of us by and by shall look at some movements in the social firmament that appear equally disorderly now.: Mars, after his exploit with the Scorp-: ian\u2019s head, strode along over the monster\u2019s back right across the Milky Way, his red soldier coat creating, it was not difficult to imagine, the usual admiring sensation among the maids there who have beenso careless of their burden, and thence along the Zodiac, without any further tergiversations, to his pre-' sent position.He will remain where he is only for a brief period, hurrying past his big brother with merely a salute, and anxions to get over his course ready for the inspection and parade of his whole camp two years from now, the most important that he has ever had.He is not so bright now as he was in mid-summer, for the earth has been moving from him almost in a straight line: but the contact of his red color with the brilliant white of Jupiter brings out its peculiarity very strikingly.The two look so near that it seems as if a big cat, a little frightened, could jump from one to the other, or at any rate, as if, like two ships in mid-ocean, they had come together to exchange signals and messages; but in reality they are 330,000,000 miles apart\u2014an interval too wide even for the imagination to jump.,Ç Then there are other differences be*.tween them that would interfere with their messages being understood.Both are older than the Earth.But Jupiter in its dovelopment is yet a mere child\u2014 is not really out of its swaddling~clothes of mist and cloud.It was where the Earth was 5,000,000 of years ago.But it has a mighty promise before it, is the real hope of the solar family; and look- Ing at it, one can but think of the.natural wonders, the strange animals, the intelligent minds, the social splendors, the awful battles, the loves and hates and the long histories that it holds the seeds of in its point of light.And Mars is not only older than the Earth in years, but older, also, in de velopment.It has got past of its maturity, is where the Earth will be, half à million yeare from now.terest, as we all know, is now centring about it because of the faint indications,\u2019 \u2014_\u2014 oo haa 7 Smokh the Nohmer Cigar.10 | Smoke .Mining News.Des ining experts note that cholera o I attacks tha bowels of the earth, dar puroanity 1N geueral find it nece- Stop e use Dr.Fowler's Extract of Wild .Yberry for bowel complaints, dysen- Tÿ, diarrhœa, etc.It is a sure cure.Smoke the Sohmer Cigar, 100 \u2019 py \u2018 \u201c spoiltitto fit a particular tune.Fresh ig | first any planet has ever given, df ee THE MONIREAY HERALD, WEDNESUAY.DECEMBER 3.18:0 its containing active intelligent beings like ourselves.Who would not like te gov a message from it?What wisdom out of its own longer social experienocs its inhabitants could give, what hints to the possibilities of our own next half million of years, what wormings out of its mistakes, and encouragements out of its successes!

Books.After dinner we chiefly talked books.The chief isalways at his best in his library, and seemed thoroughly to enjoy a good ramble over literature.He was contemptuous over Browning (of whom, however, he had read very little) and the other poetasters of the day, none of whom he thought would live except Tennyson, who he said was a poet, though not of a high order.He was much interested in my story of Sir R.Peel's consulting Monckton Milne\u2019s on .the relative merits of Tennyson and Sheridan Knowles, when he had a pension to dispose of.He talked of Lord Derby\u2019s translation of Homer, and said he had given his\\pinion against rendering Lim in blank Wrse.It was balled poetry.Pope\u2019s style was better suited to it, but was not the rixht thing.Walter Scott would have done it better Tian any oue.Itold him of Tennyson's telling me that Burns originally wrote \u2018Ye Banks and Braes\u201d with two syllables less in the second and fourth lines, and that he had This was like, or rather the reverse of Scott's treatment of the heroic couplet.The chief was.warm against the Homeric unity, and considered that everything Gladstone had written on Homer was wrong.He used to be fond of Sophocles, and to carry him about, but did not much care for Æschylus, Euripides had a good deal of fun in him.Lucian was a great favorite, and he gave me the \u201cTrue History\u201d to read in bed.He was very fond of Quinctilian, and said it was strange thatin the decadence of Roman literature, as it was called, we had three such authors as Tacitus, Juvenal and Quinctilian.He gave me a

St.James-street, when just as he was passing by the postoffice, the animal slipped and fell, its forelegs spreading outward as it came to the ground.On examination it was found that the horse\u2019s back and one of the legs were broken, and the sufferings of the poor brute were mercifully terminated by firing the contents of à revolver into its brain.Mustn\u2019t Fight on the Street.Robert

be differently considered.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Carelessness Saved Her From Jail, A.Leduc, the woman recently ssn- tenced to three months\u2019 imprisonment on a charge of keeping a disorderly house, was

False Pretenc es, Edward J.Burnett was before the police court yesterday to answer a charge of false pretences.The circumstances of the aileged crime are thatin May last the accused went to F.X, Dusseault, a horse ;dealer here, and purchazed two horses valued at $200.The prosecutor claims that at the time he asked Burnett if the horses and rigs at his place belong to him, and the accused replied that they did.Unable to collect the $200 Dusseault finally sued for the amount, when Burnett appeared before the court and made a declaration that all he possessed had been sold to another party three years ago, Judgment was reserved until Thursday at 2 o\u2019clock.High School Fire Investigation, Commissoners Perry and Poirier continued the investigation yesterday into the High School fire, and through the confession of one of the boys implicated, believe they havp arrived at the facts of the casa, which point conclusively to in- cendiarism.Four boys have been ar- rested\u2014Clare, Robinson, Nicoll and Me- Keracher\u2014and it is believed that at least three will be committed for trial.The act is understood to have been prompted by a desire for extended holidays, and it seems quite evident that the lads, however they may view it now, did not then appreciate the enormity of the deed or the consequences likely to follow.It is improbable there will be any futher arrests.per He Knew of the Firm's Insolvency, The case of W Watson and J F Wulff was decided by Judge Davidson yesterday.The plaintiff, as a creditor of the insolvent estate of J Jamieson & Co, alleged that the defendant, knowing the firm's insolvency, induced it to deliver to him a quantity of goods as security for previous advances, thus defrauding the other creditors.The court held that in the case of two transfers the defendant was aware of the firm\u2019s insolvency and ordered him to return the goods or pay the curator of the estate $526.Practical Expression of Esteem.Several

tables, upon which were different articles such as are to be found at all bazaars, and embracing everything in the way of fancy work, as well as kitchen ranges, oil paintings, crayons and other

the assembly was called to order.The first toast on the program\u2014contrary to the rule\u2014but given with credit to the fair sex, was \u201cthe ladies\u201d which was drank with the utmost enthusiasm, except by those who failed to drink these having to pony 25 cents.Speeches were made by Messrs.Donnelly, O'Donneil and Le Clare, and early in the evening the proceedings came to à

Four-Score Years Old, In arranging and sorting a number of old papers in the vault of the Court House yesterday, one of the officials of that institution came across two sub- gcription receipts of The Montreal Herald, belonging to the late J udge O'Sullivan, who may be remembered by some of our oidest inhabitants.The documents in question are dated respectively Jan.2,1813, and May 1, 1813, and

be given for costs and among the surerities was a certain gentleman well known in railway circles and a high official of a railway company in this Province.This person swore at the time, so it is alleged, that he was in possession of property worth $1000 over aud above all liabilities, This statement it is now claimed was false, and it is said that he dces not own Any property at all.An information to that effect has been laid aud, 1t is understood, a warrant for bis arrest on a charge of perjury will issae to-day.The arrest when made will be a startling one and some interesting developments are looked for.\u2014_\u2014 - À.B.George has joined the Seventh Regiment A.C.At the games of the athletic club of the regiment, which wiil be held at the armory next Saturday night, be

Trade was held yesterday afternoon.The president, Mr.J.P.Cleghorn, occupied the chair; and thers wera also present Messrs.Robert Archer, H.A.Budden, Edgar Judge, H.Montagu Allan, A.A, Ayer, J.A.Cantlie, Charles Chaput, R.Hampson, C.P.Hebert, A.G.McBean and Robert Raford.Mr.H.A.Budden, chairman of the Committee on Harbor Improvement, gave an account of the interview which he had with Sir Hector Langevin on Sat- nrday afternoon in raference to the petition of the board, particulars of which bave already been published in Tne Herald.Several bills which are now before the Local Legislature, and in which the Board is interested, were discussed in detail, and their provisions were subjected to a good deal of criticism.A committee wag appointed, to farther consider and report upon these measures, consisting of the following: Mr.Robert Archer, Mr.Edgar Judge, and£Mr.R.Hampson.The action of the Quebec Board of Trade concerning the Shipping Laborers\u2019 Benevolent Society was brought up for consideration, and after the question had been thoroughly discussed the secretary was requested to write a letter to the Quebec Board informing them that the Montreal Board heartily endorsed the steps that had been taken by them in regard to the policy that had been pursued by the leading members of the go- ciety, and expressing a desire to see the scope of its work restricted to the line of benevolence.He was instructed to say further, that the Montreal Board of Trade ascribes to the unwise action of the society the decadence observable in the trade in the city of Quebec, and that it rejoiced ia the fact that the influence of the society was completely destroyed 80 far as the Quebec shpping trade was concerned.In the remarks which were subsequently made it was clear that the members of the council regarded the action of such associations as the Quebec Shipping Laborers\u2019 Benevolent Soclety as being inimical in the highest degree to the commercial interests of the St, Lawrence, \u2014\u2014\u2014 THE PASSION PLAY, Dr, Wells Says it Has a Decidedly Religious Tendency.The Rev.G.H.Wells, D.D,, delivered the third of his course of lectures at the American Presbyterian Church, Dorches- ter-street, last night.The subject was \u201cThe Passion Play and Some Other Things.\u201d Every seat in the body of the church and in the galleries was occupied.The lecturer gave an interesting sketch of the history of the famous sacred tragedy which ispresented atOberommergan once every ten years, and which he witnessed last summer.The idea of the play, he explained, originated! in the year 1633 during the prevalence of a plague which devastated the country.For a long time the performances had been crude, and wera of à character which shocked the pious feeling of many who went to see! it.About forty-five years ago a monk took the matter up and eliminated from the drama its objectionable features.The impression left upon Dr, Wells after having seen tbe play was, he said, that it had a decidedly religions tendency.The characters were scripturally correct, and the part of the Virgin Mother of the Redeemer was so faithful a reproduction of the \u2018original, as described in Holy \u2018Writ, that no Protestant could find anything in it against which he could con- sci-ntiously object.Those who took part in it has been offered strong inducements to prevent the drama in Paris and other cities, but they had refused, from religious motives.The various scenes of the drama, as it was enacted last tummer, were faithtully reproduced by large lime-light views, each of which was lucidly described by the lecturer.The \u201cother things\u201d with which the lecture dealt included portraits of the men and women who impersonated the characters of the sublime drama, and of typical peasants who inhabit the favored village and its vicinity.The lectura was listened to with great attention by an audience who seemed both interested and edified not only by the subject but by the able manner in which it was treated.\u2014 QUIETNESS REIGNED SUPREME.At the City Hall Yesterday-The Mayor is Not Very Talkative.The interior of the City Hall wore a quiet aspect yesterday.There were no committee meetings held, the corridors were practically deserted, the departmental work went on in silence, a sense of dull, dreary unreality pervaded the soul of The Herald young man as the elevator brought him noiselessly down to the ground floor, atter he had paid his customary daily\u201d visit to the civic headquarters.The solitude that reigned throughout the corridors was only accentuated by the sudden apparition of Ald.Prefontaine, who talked confi dentially to a mysterious looking individual in a dark corner for a few moments, and then hastily disappeared.The Mayor's parlor was untenanted all day.1tis gratifying, however, to ba able to state that his worship\u2019s health is in a condition which satisfies his me- ical advisers and rejoices his numerous friends.\u2018The old trouble has not been altogether overcome, but its power for mischief has been 80 diminished that the doctors entertain hopes that there will be no recurrence of the symptoms which alarmed them a few weeks ago.The Mayor was able to attend the meeting of the Harbor Committee in the afternoon, and judging from the tone and spirit of the\u201d remarks he made to those around him, he feels in the best of spirits.He took care to parry all attempts to obtain from him some expression of opinion in reference to the mayoralty, and the most accomplished psychological anatomist would have been puzzled to divine from his conversation the direction in which his intentions really lie.» es Frost Playing Havoc With the Roadway, The severe frost of last night and the previous day has played sad havoc with some of the recently laid pavements, On that portion of Craig-street laid last year, large cracks extended right across the roadway, while in the portion west of Victoria-square put down this vear seems £o far to have had no effect.This will be taken by many as evidence that the system of laying the blocks cloge together as has been done ia the latrer section is better than the method adopted in the former of leaving a space between to be filled with gravel.The asphalt pavement on St.James-street near the Court House has also been cracked in several places and will fur- nieh some work for the contractors to repair in the spring, OUR NEW COMMANDER IS HERE.Major-General Herbert Arrived Last Night and Talked to The Herald.Registered at the Windsor last night were the names Major-General Herbert and Hon.Mrs, Hervert, twochildren and servants, Had the Major-General not been ex pected or bad Canadians known nothing of the coming of the new commander of the Canadian militia forces, the gentleman\u2019s presence at the Windsor last might would not have failed to attract attention.Strolling quietly up and down the rotunda one would hardly have recognised in bim the man who is to take the place of the late (to us) Major-General Middleton.Yet his personal appearance is such that instinctively one would make inquiries a8 to who and what he is.General Ivor John Caradoc Herbert, CB, is yet under 40 years of age, has the bearing of a thorough soldier, is over 6 feet high and has a very pleasing appearance, an exceedingly affable manner, and is sure to at once become popular with the officers and men whom he will command.He is 8 Colonel of the famous Grenadier Guards, his last appointment being that of military attache at St.Petersburg.He is not a theoretical soldier only, but has seen a good share of active service, going through the campaign against Arabi Pasha in 1882, taking part in the famous battle of Tel el Kebir, where he was Brigade Major of tue firat brigade in division No.1.honor of thishe wears a medal with clasp and has the fourth class of the Turkish medjidie.He took part also in the Soudan expedition for the relief of General Gordon in 1884, and was in the action at Abu Klea, which gives him two clasps.As adjutant of the Grenadier Camel Corps he made the acquaintance of several Canadians while on the Nile, and on hig arrival at Halifax yesterday found a congratulatory letter from one of those comrades awaiting him, Soon after his arrival here ho was seen by a Herald man, to whom he expressed great pleasure at being on Canadian soil.\u201c Haye you anything that you would like to say to the people?\u201d asked the reporter.\u201c Well, no; I can\u2019t say that I have anything spacial to say to you just now, except thatl am glad to be here.\u201d \u201cIs if true that the authorities have stopped supplying the new magazine rifle and have pronounced it a comparative failurs ?\u201d \u201cNo, it isnot true.The rifle is a success and what has been stated to the contrary by the newspapers is untrue.\u201d \u201cWhen The Herald interviewed Bir Fred Middleton, he said that he thought of retiring from military life.Have you heard anything about it ?\u201cI cannot say that I have.I understand that he is living near London, and you must remember that when a general loses a job it is not easy to get another one,\u201d laughingly replied the General, and with this the scribe bade him goodnight.The General and family will leave this morning for Ottawa, where he will at once take up his residence.vues YOUNG DEBATERS, Election of Officers at the Mock Parliament Last Evening, The Montreal Parliamentary Debating Society better known as the Mock Parliament took the first steps last night towards commencing its winter sessions.There was a good attendance present at the appointed hour in the Fraser Institute Hall and considerable interest was manifested by the members in the work of the winter.Mr.S.C, Stevenson presided over the assemblage.He made a few opening remarks in which the objects of the society were clearly placed before the meeting.Mr.Joseph H.Jacobs, the Honorary Secretary-Treasurer, read the reports of last year\u2019s work, which proved to be interesting in view of the fact that for the first time the financial standing of the society was in a favorable condition.À nominating committes was appointed to select names for the diffarent offices.The following report was afterwards adonted : Honorary President\u2014Sir Douald A Smith.Honorary Vice-Presidents\u2014Ald G WwW Stephens and L O David, President\u2014S © Stevenson.Vice Presidents\u2014J P B Casgrain and James Harper.Hon

the hail and was invited to a seat on the platform.Mr.Stevenson informed him of the action of the society in again electing him as one of their chief officers, and Mr.Stephens replied in an interesting speech, during which he imparted some sound, sensible advice to the members, He was loudly applauded on taking his seat, and was followed by Mr.J.C.Robillard in a short interesting, address.At the conclusion of the business the different parties of the Parliament each held a caucus, at which arrangements were made for the first session proper of parliamentary work.The next meeting will be held on Friday night.\u2014\u2014 A KNOWN TOUGH SENTENCED To Two Months) for Biting His Son\u2019s Hand.Elisee Champagne, charged with biting his gon\u2019s band and otherwise misbehaving himself, was sentenced by the Recorder yesterday to two months\u2019 imprisonment with hard labor, ard to find surety in the sum of 50 to keep the peace for 12 months.Champagne is a somewhat notorious character and is well known to the police.He is a big, powerful man, and makes a habit of getting drunk, going to the son's house and raising Cain generally.At thetime of the smallpox riots he led a mob of roughs who went around smashing doors and windows and assaulting every one they met.On this occasion he severelybeat ex-Chief of Police Paradis with a heavy , club, and when in liquor is said to be a terror to all who know him.It was feared there would be trouble in arresting him, as he had heard there was a warrant out for his arrest, Constable Larochelle, however, played little game on him and induced him to come to the court on the pretence of effecting a settlament with the son.Fainted trom Want of Food.An unknown man fell insensible on Notre Dame-street yesterday afternoon and was taken to the Notre Dame Hospital in the ambalance.On his arrival there it was found that be had fainted from exhaustion brought on by want of food.He was revived, given something to eat, and dismissed Smoke the Sohmer Cigar, 10¢ kbis name when AMUSEMENTS OF THE DAY, Inauguration of Mrs, Nell Warner\u2019s School of Acting, Boucicault\u2019s well known society drama,

role and needs very careful handling to make it successful.Yet Mrs.Warner succeeded admirably and received much deserved applause.The cast was very fair indeed, each one performing his or her part in a manner be~ coming the lady who has taken so much pains to bring out whatever talent her pupils possessed.It must, however, be remembered that \u201cLed Astray\u2019 has been seen many times wheu it was produced by professionals of ability, so that one could hardly help drawing comparisons in several of the emotional and strongest scenes of the plav; yet with all this, the production was very good and the plays which are to follow in the near future will he heartily welcomed.The stage setting, it must be confessed, was excellent 1n every particular.Through some mistake the students did not appear as had been announced, Josephine.The audiences at the Academy are increasing in number in proportion to the augmenting appreciation of the highly artistic manner in which Madame Rhea sustains the leading role in the drama of \u201c Josephine, Empress of the French.\u201d There was a crowded house last night.The talented artiste will recite this evening and to-morrow evening the famous patriotic poem \u201cVive la France ! \u201d At the Royal, The popularity of Weber & Fields\u2019 specialty company was amply attested by the large audiences which crowded the Royal yesterday afternoon and evening.A successful week is assured for the company.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ST.GEORGE'S SOCIETY.Monthly Meeting\u2014The Financial Exhibit Réveals a Deficit.The monthly meeting of the board of management of St.George\u2019s Society] was held last night in the home.Mr.Sclater, president, occupied the chair, and there were also present Messrs F Stancliffe, J Richard, W 8 Walker, George Kemp, T J Bedford, and the secretary, B Reid.Letters expressive of regret at thelr inability to attend were read from Mr F Perry, Mr Redfern, and Mr Evans, The charitable committee reported that a cooking range had been donated to the society by a generous Irishman who desired that his name should not be mentioned in connection with the gift, A vote of thanks was passed to the donor.Mr H W Stroud was elected a life member of the society and Mr A Furze an ordinary member.The treasurer's report showed that there had been disbursed from Januar lest up to date the sum of $2415.85, the receipts from all sources for the same seriod having been $1701.62, leaving a deficit of $714.23.The expanditure, it was explained, included the cost of the alterations which had been effected in the home, The amount expended by the charitable?committee during November as $74.58, of which sum $20 had been ven away in outdoor relief to deserving ases whieh had been brought to their otice, Three applications for assistance had been received from widows with children, who had been left unprovided for by their deceased husbands, and after investigation it had peen decided to grant thew relief.Afier some discugsion it was resolved that the annual Christmas distribution of meat, poultry and money should; be made this year to English families in destitute circumstances by clergymen and missionaries, it being deemed advisable to adopt this plan in order to prevent the impositions that had been successfully practiced upon the society in previous years, \u2014_\u2014\u2014 A BUTCHER IN TROUBLE Because He Spends His Time With a Demi- TT monde an d'Noglects His Wife, At the instance of his wife a warrant was yesterday issued for the arrest of a well-known butcher, of this city, on a charge of not providing.The case is a complicated Jone and the trouble is of long standing.For some time past it is alleged that the husband has been un- 1 faithful and has devoted more time and attention to a certain member of the demi-monde than to his own wife.This the latter naturally resented and a serious quarrel was the result, A compromise was, however, effected and the husband agreed to give the wife $3 a week for her separate maintenance, Things then went on quietly for a while, until one Sunday night not long since she went to the house of the woman who bad alienated her husband\u2019s affections, thinking to find him there, and in endeavoring to effect an entrance broke the latch off the door, For this she was arrested and brought before the Recorder next morning on a charge of damaging property.In view of the circume stances sentence was suspended, but at the same time the woman who had brought the charge was arrested on the accusation of keeping a disorderly house and was sentenced to three months\u2019 imprisonment.The man in the case then refused ta continue payment of the $3a week to bis wife, hence the action taken in the Police Court Yesterday.The matter will probably come up for trial to- ay.\u2018 Arrested for Stabbing His Neighbor, Assistant High Constable Douglags arrested a basket maker named Sans- chagrin at Cote St.Paul last evening on a charge of stabbing a neighbor in the wrist, Mr, Without-Sorrow (such is the literal translation of Sans-Chagrin)bslied ; ; brought to the Police Station for if one may judge by appear- ance he felt last night that his cup of sorrow Was fall to the brim, P 2 mms MANS INHUMANITY TO WOMAN, A Sad Story of Destitution Told by g Deserted Wife, Detective Cinq Mars tells a sai story of destitution and want which hag come under his notice.Monday evening two women called at his residence 791, Sanguinet-street, the younger of whom told a pitifal tale She was 27 Years of age, had been married seven Years and was the mother of two children, a girl and a boy, aged five and three yearg respectively.Her husband was à Carter and some years ago had been left tutor to certain minor children, had spent their money, and not long since the children coming of age, and fearing to render up an account of his stewardship had left the country.When living with her the hug.band had been cruel and when he went away he left her destitute.At present she was starving and had not even a Particle of fuel in the house to keep herself and babes warm.If the children could be placed in some charitable institution, she would try to get a place for herself at service.It would break her heart to part from the little ones, but there wag no help for it.The woman showed certificates of good character from a Catholic clergyman and a well known poysi.cian, Yesterday morning, through the exertions of Mr.Cinq Mars, the children were placed in a charitable institution, 1 NATIONAL PREJUDILCES VANQUIS \u201cED, The Triumph of à Great Discovery, The magnetic influence ofgold attracts the people of every clime to our shores, Men of all nations and speaking all the apguages of civilization are to be found congregated on our suriferous plains, Differing in all other things\u2014in thair customs, habits and religion\u2014yet there is one point upon which their opinions coincide.Englishmen and Americans, French, Swiss, Germans, Swedes, Italians and Chinese admit without a dissenting voice that the great remedies introduced to the world forty years ago by Hollo way are better adapted to the cure of diseases in this climate than any other preparation in existence.This appears, in fact, to be the experience of mankind in all parts of the world, and hence the universal popularity of these medicines.Wa consider, however, that the boundiess confidence placed in their eflicacy by tbe representatives of so many nations at the mines is a striking phenomenon in medical history.Many of these page ple in their youth and even at maturity were accustomed to the use of drugs and nostrums peculiar to their several coan\u2014 tries, These remedies were connected in their minds with associations at home and indorsed, as it were, bv their national prejudices, Yet they have been thrown aside and utterly repudiated, while Holloway\u2019s Pills and Ointment bave been adopted by a common ime pulse throughout the entire gold regions, It is the result of conviction\u2014conviction grounded on personal observation and experience, The Ointment is used with such Wonderful success as a dressing for wounds, ulcers, and sore legs, and for all the external diseases and casualties to Which the adventurous gold hunter is peculiarly liable, that scarcely a digger\u2019s tent can be found within the vast area of the gold fields unprovided with a stock of this healing, soothing, cooling preparation.The hard fare of the digger and sometimes his habits, tend to vitiate the blood and develop running sores and purulent ulcers of the body and limbs.Bad legs, especially, are very common at the diggings, and seriously interfere with the labors of the diggers.The worst cases of this class are cured by the Ointment with extraordinary rapidity.The best method of healing sore legs and : ores and ulcers generally, is by rubbing he Ointment into the inflamed paris around the orifice, first opening the pores and softening the flesh with warm fomentations.The part affected is then dressed with lint or linen saturated with he Ointment.Such is the external reatment, but it is also proper to give he patient a few doses of the Pills dur ng the progress of the cure, as they serve to purify the blood and discharge morbid matter from the system, while the Oint= ment is doing its work on the surface.\u2014 The Scientific Witness.ee Take Care, of your health.Use pure articles in preparing your food.Imperial Cream Tartar Baking Powder contains
