with him, warned him of his danger and he fled to parts unknown.Bishop was in Raymond-street Jail when Mr.Manning first saw him.He was serving a sentence for intoxicatioa, and seemed so penitent that

rent.When Mr.M>nning expressed his intention te prosecute Bishop, Miss Manning, to whom Bishop bad paid his addresses for eome time, informed him of ber father's proposed action, and hs was therefore

doors uutil 6 o'clock, even Legislative Councillors being ejected from the Chamber and ushers statioaed at every door prevented strangers from approaching the sazred precioets.Some echoes of the storm have, however, found their way to the press gallery.Mr.Leblanc it appears was the cause of the disturbauce.During the budget debate Hon.Mr.Mercier had esid to the opposition \u201cyou complain of the increased expenditures in the Legislative Assembly, allow me to state that you have no right to do so, and that your conduct may be styled hypocritical were the expression parliamentary.I have in my possession a round robin signed by all of you who were in the House last year, begging me to increase the sessional indemuity of the members.\u201d At the opening of the sitting Leblanc rose to a point of order, and, it ig said, insinuated that Mr.Mercier\u2019s statement was untrue.\u201cHere is the document,\u201d said Mr.Mercier, exhibiting a paper which he held in his hand.\u201cIt is a private document and I cannot read it without the consent of those who have signed it.Let them give their consent by standing up and I will commanicate its contents to the House.\u201d Nobody had the courage to rise, but an extremely acrimonious debate took place, in the course of which Leblanc wes properly snubbed and reduced to silence amid the derisive laughter of the House.Dr.DeGrosbois read a letter from one of tbe leaders of the Opposition begging him to use lis influence with his friends tobave the sessional indemnity increased, and promising bim, if they did 50, that no reproach would be made on that seore on tne hustings or before the House.After this the Opposition seemed to think that prudence was the better part of valor, and let the matter drop.The whole of the evening was speut in a most interesting discussion on the mining question, which took place on Mr.Poupore\u2019s resolutions thut toe working of our mines and forests was of the bighest importance in the interests of commerce, industry, and colonization in the Province of Quebec, and that it has become necessary to establiah a regular and thorough system for the increas.ng and development of said industries, and that the Government be asked to introduce such laws a8 to put the working of our forests and mines upon tbe same footing asin tbe most advanced coun tries of Europe and America, and to assist to the greatest possible extant the development of our mineral resources by holding out inducements t> capitalists to come here, rather than impcse taxes upon them, which is sure to create distrust and päralyze existing operations as well as to p-event the further development of our natural resources.Mr.Poupore quoted at great length from the report of a royal commission, named by the Ontario Government to study the mining question, and attempted to prove that no taxes were imposed upon mines in the United States.He further maintained that the forest reserve in the Province of Quebec, which the present Government had abolished, was necessray for the proteetion of our forests, which were rapidly disappearing.He predicted that a time would come when the revenue from mines woald be the only resource of the Provincial Government.Hon.Mr.Duhamel in his reply showed himself thoroughly conversant with the mining question.He said that Mr.Poupore seemed to have spoken of the mining interest of the Province with a view of alluding to the forest reserve which the present Government had abolished, and his (Poupore's) friends on the left of the House would never dare to re-establish.Mr.Poupore\u2019s argument was that when the forests disappeared in the Province of Quebec, the mining industry would be the only source of revenue in the hands of the Government, He had quoted the example of England.England drew no revenue from its mining industry, as he would presently prove.With regard to mines there were two systems to choose from, tbe first, consisting in giving the property of mines to individuals, who worked them as they chose without the intervention of the state.The second consisted in retaining them In the hands of the state, the latter granting to individuals the right of working the mines with the proviso that if the work was unproductive the miner would have nothing to pay, but that if on the contrary there was profit the miner would contribute to the public expenses of the country according to his means.The Government thus secured permanent revenues without alienating the public domain, which was placed out of reach of illegitimate and ruinous speculation, Capitalists who wished to invest their money in our mines under this system would have nothing to pay unless the yield was considerable.They would moreover benefit by a complete and uniform mining law and be sure of the protection of the Government.The dangers and disadvantages of the present system were sufficiently demonstrated by the existing tate of things in the phosphate region of the Province of Quebec.The mines of the phosphate region, the richest perhaps in the world, had never produced more than 20,000 or 22,000 tons annually.If we had a proper mining law these mines should produce 100,000 tons annually at least.Unfortunately these mines had fallen in the bands of speculators who were not obliged by law to work the mining lots which they had ac- uired, According to our law mining royalties existed in this Pravince and could be collected.The Commissioner of Crown Lands could collect this royalty amounting to 50 cents a ton.There was another point made by Mr.Poupore.The mining industry, he bad said, was entirely free in the United States.The statement was not correct, however.Mr.Poupore must admit the present Government had followed his policy with regard to the colonization of public lands.Under Conservative Governments, certain lots were regarded as mining lots, and were never sold as agricultural lots, although they might be titted for agriculture.At present, the settler was free to choose his land wherever he pleased, in mining districts as well as in others, Mr.Poupore said he had consulted the manager of à phosphate mine in Buckingham who bad snswered that u tax on the mines would ruin the in dustry.It was not surprising that this gentleman objected to paying dues to Government if he could help it.He had threatened to go off to the United Siates if the slightest {ax was imposed.Let bim doso.He woula find that ha would bave to pay far more taxes than in this Province.Mr.Pouvore would find that the report of the Royal Commission of Ontario,wbich he had quote, was inaccurate in many respects.Hs would prove this when the time came for discussing the mining law.It said amongst other things that none of the States except New York imposed royalties on mines whereas in North Carolina there was a royalty varying from one to five dollars a ton on phosphates.The English system which Mr.Poupore has quoted had produced such results a8 had rendered a change acceptable to a considerable portion of the public and a general reform of the mining laws was contemplated in Great Britain.Indeed the mining question in England caused almost as much trouble as the land question in Ireland.Even The Montreal Gazette had recognized that the proposed reform in the mining system by the present Goyernment was a wise one.The discoverer of amine must be encouraged, but be should be obliged to work his mine.The foreshadowed legislation was not an exception, but the general rule in British colonies.If we were lo count upon mines as source of revenue in the future, it was not by selling them to speculators tbat we would £ucceed in doing so.It was by conceding mining rights, as we conceded timber limits, upon certain conditions, the first of which was that if the mMme yielded no revenue the miner would have nothing to pay, but that when the miner was successful in his labor he should contribute his just share to the public expenditure of the country.Mr.Poupore\u2019s fears of the disappearance of our forests were, however, entirely imaginary.Not only were there immense virgin forests in the country which had never been visited oy the lumberman, but thie limits on which wood had been cul since a quarter o.-A century were still in a majority of cases as rich as ever, tbe lumberman being interested in preserving his limit.Mr.Clendinneng then added a few words.He did not understand clearly the policy of the Government upon the question, but thought that before anything was done a complete statement of tbe condition of the mining industry in the Province of Quebec should be laid before the House.The resolution was carried and th» House adjourned at midnight.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE UNCROWNED KING IN DUBLIN: Immense Reception by the People of the Irish Capital.BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.DuzuIN, Dec.10.\u2014Mr.Parnell spent most of the day in conference with his supporters.When he left Dr.Kenney\u2019s house for the Rotunda he was quickly surrounded by a crowd of his admirers who escorted him to the hall.The crowd unharnessed the horsea of the carriage in which Mr.Parnell started for the hall and dragged the vehicle thither with their own hands.Here there was an immense crowd as- tembled and Mr.Parnell was accorded a great ovation.He was lifted upon the shoulders of the people and in that manner passed along to the platform, the hall being 80 densely crowded that all the aisles were blocked.The Mayor presided and moved a resolution of confidence in Mr.Parnell which was adopted by acclamation.Parnell then rose to speak but it was geveral minutes before he could be heard on account of the cheering, During his speech he said \u201ctbat he had been accused of absence from the field of battle, but he did not intend to plead to such charges to-night.He simply wanted to be taken for what his hearers knew him to be, and for what, God helping him, he would prove himself to be in the face of Ireland and his fellow countrymen.He repudiated the assertion, however, that he was ever absent from any fight in Jreland\u2019s cause.I suppose, he said, chat this is a great crisis Who made 1627 Cries of Healy, Sexton.Mr, Parnell, continuing: \u201cWas it I or you, or who was it 7\u201d

that the conduct of the men who have been exposed was entirely unusual and exceptional among Englishmen engaged in African exploration.No nation, he declares, has surpassed the English in the tone, temper and principle of its dealing with the negroes.The many English explorers, from the revered master, Livingstone, to his comrades of the advance guard, united in a singular degree gentleness and valor, \u201cFor myself,\u201d says Mr.Stanley, \u201cI claimo not ex- ceptiopal fineness of nature, but, beginning life as a rough, ill-educated, impatient man, I bave found my schooling in these

Africans.It is needful resolutely to regard and treat them as children.\u201d In conclusion Mr.Stanley says he hopes that tbe revelations which Major Barttelot forced him to make will not be without some good results.He desires that such conduct as Jameson's shall be impossible anywhere on the face of the earth.\u201cIt is only by showing ourselves superior to savages,\u201d he says, \u201cthat

DARING.Chief Officer Thiele\u2019s Careless and Fatal Act On the Niagara.RY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.NEw York, Dec.10.\u2014Investigation yesterday proved that the death of William Thiele, chief officer of the Ward liner Niagara, who fell overboard and was drowned last Monday night, was due entirely to bis own daring but unnecessary act.The vessel was coming into port from Havana, as recorded in The Herald, and sLe had crossed the bar and was running up the main ship channel to an anchorage off Quarantine, Staten Island, at 6.30 |o\u2019clock.The starboard anchor had been swung out over the bow, ready to cast, and it hung suspended from the catfalls attached to the big steel davit which was swung out from the forecastle head.A big hook attached to the falls gripped a strong iron ring in the anchor shank.The hook wae arranged with a lever attached to a rope which is pulled when the command is given to \u201clet go anchor.The hook then opens and the released anchor drops.To prevent the hook from opening before the proper time it is \u201cmoused\u201d or wound about with a strong cord.\u2018What Chiet Officer Thiele did was to climb out on the anchor as it hung over the side, and grasping the catfalls to steady himself, he cut the \u201cmousing.\u201d This does not always release the anchor, but it did in this case, for the hook opened suddenly and away it went with forty-five fathoms of chain after it and the vessel running at ten knots per hour.Bo suddenly did the hook let go that Thiele lost his bold on the catfalls and went down with the anchor.As soon a8 possible the steamer was stopped and her course retraced.The quarter boat was lowered and the second officer and four seamen went in it and made a search for the missing man.But the strorg ebb tide had swept him far out of their reach.They were obliged io give up their search.Officer Thiele was married and he leaves & widow and seven children at Bath Beach, L.I, which had been his bome for a number of years.He was about forty years oid and was an employee of the Ward Line.He was chief officer in the steamer Columbia before joinirg the Niagara.When the cabin passengers on the Niagara heard of the accident a subscription was at once taken up for the widow and children.In all $35 was realized.When the officers and crew of the Niagara are paid off to-day they will also raise a purse for the bereaved family.Thiele was a popular officer and a good pavigator.Those on the Niagara say that he had before performed the act that resulted in his death.rr \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PRESBYTERIAN

Dublin\u2014The Stuff that Cæsars and Napoleons Are Made of.SUPPRESSES PAPERS LIKE A CZAR.His Opponents Begin to Fear They Have Made a Grand Politica} Mistake.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Loxpow, Dec.10.\u2014Mr.Parnell made his entry to Dublin to-day, lixe the conqueror of a disaffected province.His creible seizure of United Ireland was as told a stroke as his tearing up ths resc- lution for his deposition at Saturday\u2019s Nationalist meeting, and it has produced a remarkable impression.Mr.Parnell is developing qualities that few knew him to possess.One of the leading anti-Par- Dellites said to your Correspondant today :\u2014 ; \u201cUntil the scandal I always admira- Parnell and had a good deal of followed tion for him on account of his persis- tency and shrewdness, yet I never sap- posed that he was a man of such force as he has lately baen proving himself to be.I venture to confess that if I had supposed we were rousing such a lion, I should have hesitated longer than I did about attempting his deposition.Not but tbat 1 believe his retirement advisable, but because I now doubt if the game was worth the candle.Par- pell\u2019s desperate resistance may rend all Irelazd in pieces.Why this man is made of the stuff that Cæsars and Napoleons were formed of.He would sacrifice a whole race to his personal ambition and it looks as though he had the strength to do so.\u201d .This may be an exaggerated view of the Irish leaders potency, but is undeniable that from the moment of his setting foot on Irish soil the situation began to turn still more in his favor than it had seemed to be before.It was announced this evening that the total number of declarations made by public bodies of all sorts in Ireland thus far in favor of Parnell was 206, while the decla- Tations against him were only 113.\u2018The anti-Parneliites at once questioned the correctness of these figures, and asserted that they had been doctored in the interests of Parnell.The edition of United Irelan, which was about being issued when Mr.Parnell invaded the promises.and ordered the destruction of all the.copies in existence,contained an article on this very subject, which showed that 80 per cent.of the declarations made up to the present time lad been against Mr.Parnell.It is evident that the sap- pression of such statements will be of great advantage to Mr.Parnell.Present appearances all indicate t 1t Parnell will sweep the country in bis first appeal.Whether there will be a reaction on second thought or not is too early tg predict with certainty.The Pall Mall Gazette said to-day, re ferring to Mr, Parnel?s speech at the railway station last night: *\u201c No man ever went faster to the devil with God so much on his lips.\u201d Larrey O\u2019Brien, Mr.Parnell\u2019s candidate for North Kilkenny, is a man of comparatively little popolarity or known ability, except rs a literature.It is a matter of some surprise that Mr.Parnell should not have selectetl a stronger man for the initial fight, especially as the Anti-Parnellite candidate to whom he is opposing himself, is a statesman of more than ordinary experience and prestige._\u2014 a A Pleasing Tribute.BY TELEGRAPH TO

except on good collateral and liberal margin.Call loans were at GF per cent, but money has been borrowed at a lower rate.Street lenders charge 8 per cent.Commercial paper was discounted at 7@8 per cent.The London market was unchanged the open rate being 4} per cent.Bar silver in London was cabled lower at 473d per ounce.The Winnipeg Commercial says: Monetary affairs in the city have been moving very lazily.The grain movement bad not recovered from the break in prices of three weeks ago, when fresh breaks of the past week in the eastern markets tended to further check up the local movement, and cause a let up in the demand for funds for that purpose.Still the aggregate of advances on wheat is heavy, as holders cannot afford to eell at present prices, and make the loss such sales would bring, and banks are consequently carrying quite a load im this way, and bave met the demands of the trade so far with liberality and promptitude.The returns from the country on general trade paper falling due have not shown the improvement to be expected at this time of the year, and on the fourth a large proportion of the paper falling due had to be attended to by the discounters, the only redeeming feature being that there were a large number of part payments made, some of which were small compared with the obligation, but the number for which renewals in full were asked was not numerous, and the irregularities very few.There can be no doubt but banks are feeling some Bt-ain but as yet they have given forth Bo ccmplaints, and attend to theiwants of regular customers with readiness.Either markets must improve so as to bring out a freer selling of grain, or ho'ders must be prepared tolet go at present low prices fore there can be any plethora of funds at the banks.Discount rates hold steady at 7 to 8 per cent.on regular trade paper.Business :1 real estate mortgage loans is far from cing rushed.Inthe city scarcely a ew application is heard from, and until farmers fest better over prices of grain the number from the country will connue to te few.Interest on farm loans \u2018s quoted steady although almost nomi- mal for the present at 8 per cent, _\u2014\u2014\u2014 Exchange, There was little actual alteration in the condition of the exchange market.Sterling continued weak in tone, while New York funds were firm.In eierling between banks

Co.telegraphed Oswald Bros, to-day, over direct private wire, as follows: The market was irregular to-day.Prices advanced to 11 o\u2019clock and then reacted to 1 p.m.sharply and closing at a reaction.The Government completed its purchases 4's and for the time being 18 out of the market a8 a bond purchaser, the available balance in the Treasury not warranting further purchases.There has been withdrawn from the Bank of England 4,380,- 000 dollars in gold for export to this country, but no engagements wera reported to-day.It is generally conceded tbat the market for next 30 days is likely to be very irregular and probably subject to any developments favorable or unfavorable.The inability to make time Joans prevents brokers from adding larze- ly to their lines of stock,but next month, when money is expected to be eusy, this adverse influence will have beea ra- moved.Therefore, the opinion seems to be for next 30 days, buy on sharp breaks and sell on sharp rallies, for moderate profit.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.New York, Dec.9.\u2014Money closed at 3 per cent.The lowest rate was 2 and the highest 6 per cent.Exchange closed steady, posted rates 480@484, actual rates 479@479} for sixty day bills and 482} @482% for demand.The stock market was not so active this morning, and prices were irragular and in the main weak.Theres was a dearth of news either good or bad.In the first half hour prices were weak, and under the lead of Union Pacific declinad } to 1% per cent.Lackawanna aud Northwestern were the next weakest siocke.A greater part of this was recovered in the next half hour on all but Union Pacific.During the two hours to 1 o'clock the market was feverish and leas active.Prices fluctuated frequently on a small trading, but up to 1 p.m.the average reaction from the closing figures of last night was not more than } tol per cent.Union Pacific, St.Paul and Louisville and Nashville were the ouly active stocks and were down as much as 1 to 2} per cent, the latter in Union Pacific.The announcement of the failure of Hamilton & Bishop was made stortly before noon.The firm was long of stock, but experienced such large losses before the upward reaction of yesterday that it was compelled to assign tc-day.A total of 1200 shares of Burlington and Nor.Pac.preferred, Rock Island, Jersey Central and Wabash common, were sold out under the rule, but it had very little effect on the general market.The amount of gold which left Liverpool on the steamer Majestic to-day was about $3,250,000.It is not definitely known what amount of that withdrawn from the Bank of England today will come on the steamer Lahn, which sails from Southampton to-mor- 10w, but itis reported at £350,000 or $1,700,000, which, if correct, would make the total $5,000,000.In the early part of the afternoon the stock market was dull and heavy, but later on it strengthened and closed at some recovery.The final cured were, however, generally | to 2} per cent below those of

excitement among grain men.The advance of prices during the closing days of the previous week, and the comparatively high prices paid during the week, by the milling firms, being the most interesting features.The grain \u2018dealers were practically shut out of the market by the prices paid by millers in country markets, which prices it was generally acknowledged were far above à parity with the value of wheat in outside markets.In Manitoba country markets 70c per bushel was paid farmers for best samples.How the two\u2019 large milling concerns could pay these prices was the question agitating the grain shippers and charges were freely made that there must be some inside arrangements as to freights which allowed the millers to outbid other shippers.This of course is mere conjecture on the part of the shippers, but this belief, combined with the rumor that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company would establish a system of country grain warehouses on its lines throughout Manitoba, has caused intense feeling among grain shippers.A couple of stormy meetings were held in the city last week, at which grain men representatives of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company were present.Shippers also demand a lower export rate from the railway companies.Prices were dropped in country markets 2c per bushel on Friday, and to-day (Saturday) a further reduction of 2c is to be made.At Brandon on Friday all the grain buyers except the millers withdrew from the market on account of the high prices being paid by the latter.On tte call board at Winnipeg on Friday, 85c was bid for No.2 hard, afloat at Port Arthur, immediate delivery, 68c was bid for 5 cars same grade, Brandon freight.85c was bid for No.3 hard at North Bay.Ten cars No.2 northern at Brandon were bid at 68c, and 5 cars December at 88c at North Bay.For No.1 frosted 79 to 88¢ was bid at North Bay, and 65c was bid for 10 cars No.2 frosted, a'so on a basis of North Bay freights.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014

uninteresting market to-day.Through the early part of the session Hutch was a steady buyer; his purchases probably amounted to 1,000,000 bushels, and as there was not much for sale this kept the market firm.On Bradstreet's estimate that the available supply east of the Rockies would increase 107,000 bush- s's next week, the market advanced from 98kc to 983c.\u2018Lowards the close it looked like breaking, bot shorts were ready to take what was offered around 98}c, and the market closed at 98jc.News through the day has undoubtedly favorad higher prices and the market has gained perhaps je.Unless Northwest are shor: a good deal here, the short interest is small.Exports fair: 138,000 bush wheat, 29,000 pkgs flour; receipts 597,000; shipments 283,000.Liverpool 3d higher for December

decrease in stocks and that breaks are] light and transactions small, with prices firm on all grades.The bright new tobacco offerings are poor, mainly nondescripts, with few packages suitable for a good bright or substantial mahogany wrapper.Dark fillers are higher, and the commonest grades of lungs are less neglected than last week.The few good black wrappers and stemmers offering sell at very full prices.Several markets of Virginia have reported 14 cents to 15 cents for fine darks.The best planters, however, have hardly commeaced their sales of finest grades.Several leading Western factories, anticipating the passage of the tobacco rebate bill, are already advertising a reduction of two cents per pound in the leading brands.Western leaf markets show considerable firmness on all good burley and dark grades, especially colory tobacco.It is likely that at Maysville, Paducah and Fulton, Ky., there will he a new warehouse combination for the better regulation of these markets.The successful cure by flues and patent bright tobacco barns has led to the establishment of agencies for this purpose in the west, and no doubt by next season cousiderable burley tobacco will be cured by the flues bright.This may form a distinct class, and is likely in the long run to antagonize the famous product of this State and North Carolina.The weather has been cool and unfavorable for handling leaf tobacco this week, and sales have been generally light.The worst enemy known to tobacconists for years, the tobacco beetle (Lasioderma serricorne), has damaged both plug and leaf in this and many other markets, in- ciuding the west.The higlest price for loose tobacco this week was 13} cents, and the lowest 1 cent.Auction offerings on \u2019Change were 131 packages; average price, $11 89.Smoke

Winnipeg.Winnipeg Commercial.There is no improvement to report in the general state of wholesale affairs in the city since our last issue.The only little flush of activity has been in connection with a few fancy lines for the holiday trade, and a little call for a few winter sorts created by the cold snap with which the past week opened, which again fell flat by the middle of the week.In lines dependent on building and contracting there has been a straggling business done in the city, but there has heen no demand of any kind from the country, and that trade is considered over for a year.In season lines of staple goods there is practically nothing doing.The winter sorts trade is finished, and the fveling is too quiet throughout the country for retailers to buy freely for samples for spring delivery.Most liouses in this branch are now stock taking, and preparing to start with the opening of 1891 into pushing sales of spring goods.It is in connection with staple conunodities of every day consumption that the feeling of quietness is made more apparent.Cash returns from the country are anything but encouraging, and while they are so neither city wholesalers nor country retailers care to push matters in the way of sales, but keep holding things close by the head, waiting for money to move more freely, and until it does move, there can be no improvement.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Comunercial Notes.There are 81 canal boats frozen in on the Erie Canal between Albany and Little Fall, of which 43 have lumber cargoes, 2 Inden with wheat,

alliances which maintained the peace of Europe and protected the integrity of the natinn.The most cordial friendship existed between Italy and ber allies and tbe danger of menacing foreign complications bad been bappily averied.The Government, not contented with guarding Italy's foreign interests, also proposed to taxe all proper measures for improvement at home.Important bills would be iutro- duced for the betterment of the condition of workingmen securing them in their rights and protecting them from want in the:r old age.In concluding the King said: \u201cFollowing my

subject of the engraving comes from the Improved Yorkshire herd of Mr.E.M.Jarvis, of Ontario Lodge Stock Farm, Clark- sons, Ont.This pig was farrowed in December, 1888, and was imported in August, 18389, from the well-known herd of Mr.Sanders Spencer, of England.His sire was Holy- well Doctor (975), dam Holywell Beauty 9th (Vol.6 E.), by Holywell King (59), all animals of note in Mr.Spencer's distinguish« od herd.As a getter of good stock this boar has been of great value in the herd of Ontario \u2018Lodge, where he has been used as the stock boar since bis importation.The striking qualities of this pig are his noticeable length and depth of form, which may be observed in the above life-like sketch.The strong bone and robust appearance of this boar, and his profuse coating of hair are the external evidences of a strong constitution, which has shown itself further in the large and stroug litters of vigorous pigs that have een sired by him.The Ontario Agricultural College has recently purchased this pig, to be used as their stock boar.Even they would nothave been successful in securing him were it not for the fact that Ontario Lodge has now several others coming forward which will in time fully fill the vacancy.Itis certainly a high honor to the herd at Ontario Lodge, to have a boar selected from it in preference to others, to be placed in such a representative position as that which he goes to fill.\u2014Canadian Live Stock Journal.Poultry Houses.y HOSE who are inteuding to prepare proper quarters for their poultry will derive much benefit from the following bints in the Mirror and Farmer: It is not necessary that poultryhouses should be expensive.More failures have resulted from the attempt to make poultry- houses bave all the modern conveniences than from any other source.In a cold climate, where snew covers the ground a portion of the time, and where the cold wind whistles into every crack and crevice, the great difficulty is to keep the hens warm and comfortable without the aid of stoves, which may be expensive.Yet, in the face of the fact that it requires very closs walls to keep out the cold, a majority of those who build poultry- houses putin a ventilator, which is left open all the season to assist in freezing the fowls on the roosts at night.Ventilators to poultry-houses have done more damage to poultry in winter than anything else.If the air of the poultry-house in winter is foul, some excuse may be made for the ventilator, but the severe cold seals up all sources of odor, and in a short time turns all liquids to solids.The poultry house can be amply purified and ventilated by leaving the doors and windows open during the day and using dry dirt on the roost, board and floor as an absorbent, but the ventilator at the top of the poultry-house should never be left open after cold weather seta in.It is well known that fowls object to being exposed to winds, or cold Graughts of air, as the combs are easily affected by cold draughts, and they are at all times liable to colds which lead to roup (or distemper as so.ue style it).No ventilator can be arranged that wiil prevent the draught on the fowls, for the reason that the ventilation is eontrolled by the direction of the wind to a certain extent.A draught may come in at the bottom of the house and pass out at the top, and in so doing all the warmth and heat of the house goes with it.Next, the wind may, at some time in the night, change direction, and the cold air will come iu atthe veutilator in frequent gusts, right down on the fowls, and the result will be swelled heads, eyes watery, and, in a few days, roup in its worst form.Let your objectin winter be to secure warmth first.Ventilation will take care of itself, and you will have more difficulty keeping the cold air out than to let it in.We have never heard of fowls dying for lack of fresh air in the winter season, but we have seen hundreds die from having cold draughts of air blow over them at night, under the mistaken supposition that a ventilator must ba attached to the poultry house.We cal) attention to this now Lecause a number of our readers may be building and arranging for winter, and our advice is to let all oonveniencee that stand in the way of warmth be discarded.\u2019 Smoke the Sohmer Cigar, 10c Smoke the sohmer Cigar, 10¢ ealy,

11.1890 PLUCKY JUL.A MARLOWE.A Pretty Story Illustrating the Young Actress\u2019 Rare Presence of Mind.Julia Marlowe, the yoxag actress, is por sessed of a remarkable nnisence of mind, as was illustrated a few dsyu since in a severe railroad accident out in Kentucky.Miss Marlowe and her company were going te Bowling Green to fill a one-night eugage ment.To reach the place in time it was necessary to employ the s :rvice of a special train.The train had gone but about ten miles when it collided with a forty-car freight train, and making one of the most complete wrecks known to the Louisville & Nashville road, upon which the accident hap~ pened.The engineer of the Marlowe spec ial was the most seriously injured, and ne doubt would have died Lad not the young actress seen the dangeroc s position hs was in.He was pinioned between the tender and cab, aud but for Miss Marlowe's discovery of him when she did, 1e would no doutt have perished there, Some of the members of her compang were badly hurt, and ali save herself werwæ scared almost to death.She heard the em- gineer\u2019s screams, however, and quickly went to him, where he vvas found covered with great blocks of coal.She began throwing the black diamoads with her delicate hands until relieved by ottiere as they slowly caught their wits.Then she saw him safely taken to the next station, where she waick- ed over bim until the surgeon assured her that he was out of danger.The next morning Miss Marlowe sent t= the engineer's wife and family substantial remembrances for his bra very, who had, by remaining at his post of duty, saved thas lives of the whole of the company.\u2014Bestos Globe.Why Some Women ire Not Rich.Someone who has thoughtfully considered the fine characteristics of the great body of industrious, frugal, and honest men whe form the world\u2019s moral bone and sinew, speaks somewhat in this wise: \u2018The qualities we love in a man rarely lead him to the acquirement of a large f« rtune; and among.these lovable traits are generosity, truth, trustfulness, friendliness, unselfishness, the desire to help, the heart to pity,\" the mind to refuse profit from a neigk bor\u2019s loss or weakness.\u201d As long as such\u2019 men live to make the world better, and if rightly understood by those about, them, to make plain homes rich with! contentand even gladness, there will con- \u2019 tinue to be what the rich call poverty, .but what the philosopher knows to be trus: riches, There are many reasons for dis , content in the home, whe! her the purse be : well filled or not; and a woman has but to, look into her own heart to find out which : ones poison her cup of iappiness.Then, havingdiscovered the evil spirits, she should proceed to exorcise them as quickly and as; throughly as possible.It isa women whe .thus warns her fellow-woraan of the evils of.discontented domestic life, and she does so\u2019 because, while she has a tender sympathy for her sex, her wide obse:-vation has proved | that feminine faults of temper and disposi.\u2019 tion are quite as numerous and quite as grave in their consequancas as those of their: masculine fellow-beings.Barbers in Spain, The barber\u2019s business in Spain is peculiar, in that he is called upon to ply his shears on donkeys as well asmen.!for it is an impor- tantitem inthe careof Spanish donkeys that they should be sheared as to the back ; ia order to make a smoother resting place for man or paunier.So while the master held his animal one of the barbers piied \u2018 some enormous clacking shears and littered ; the ground with mouse-colored hair, leav- ; ing the beast\u2019s belly fur-covered below a fixed line, and for a small additional price executing a raised pattern of star points \u2019 around the neck.: The tonsorial profession is an indispens- ableone in a country where shaving the , whole face is so generally practised among , ! all the humbler orders, not to mention tore- | : ros and ecclesiastics, But the discomfort to * which the barber's customers submit is: astonishing.Instead of being pampared, : soothed, labored at with confidential respectfulness and lulled into luxurious hare mony with timself, as happens in America, : a man who courts the razor in Spain has to! sit upright in a stiff chair and meekly hold under his chin a brass basin full of;suds, and fitting his throat by means of 4 curved nick ; at ene side.: One individual we saw seated by the dusty road at the gate with a towel around.his shoulders and another in his hands to.catch his own falling locks.He looked submissive and miserable, as if assisting at\u2019 his own degradation, while the barber was ; magnified into a tyrant exercising sovereign pleasure.She Started Him in Business.Ie had his blacking box thrown over his shoulder.His face and hands were soveral shades darker than rightfully belongs to the little arabs.She was walking briskly! along the street, intent upon anything but, street gamins.All at once the little necessary evil forsook his companions, rushed up: to her and said: \u201cSay, will yer give me à ponny ?\u201d , He was so earnest and honest that the: lady, much amused and with pretended as- , tonishment, said: \u201cWhy! what for\u201d i Blacky drew his coatsleeve across his face, and replied: ; \u201cWell, yer see I was playin\u2019 craps an\u2019 I.lost de last cent, an\u2019 I mus\u2019 get started ; again.\u201d Started in gambling again?\u201d ; \u201cNaw, in de paper sellin\u2019.\u201d ; \u201cHow sre you going to do it with one penuyi® \u2019 | With a look of disgust at her ignarance | he said: : ; \u201cJes\u2019 buy two papers wid 1 cent and sell! \u2019em den buy four wid 2 cents and yer started.See?\u201d She saw and started him in business .\u2014.Chicago Herald.- Deaths by Accident.In twenty-nine cities and towns of Can-; ada last year there were 18,233 deaths, and | of these 569 were caused by accidents of i various kinds.This is 31.12 deaths per thou- : sand deaths.In England the ratio is 30 per \u2018 thousand, in Scotland 31, in France 15 and | in Germany 16, and in the United States 39 per thousand.Railway accidents were ! most numerous in Hamilton, where thirteen \u2018 persons lost their lives from this cause out of a total of forty-nine deaths, Drowning has a long score, no less than a I02 cases of | this kind oecurring.There were eight deaths: from sunstroke and only two from freezing, four times as many from heat as from cold.! Suffocation by gas is reported in only three | cases.There were twenty-six deaths from: aocidental poisoning, about 5 per cent, ex! Just double the ratio in England.The high- f est ratio per thousand deaths was in Kinge- ton, where there were twenty accidents\u2019 deaths, a ratio 68.96; the lowest was in Hull, | 7.28.The ratio in Hamilton was 44.85, ths | i number of accidental deaths here being: thirty-four.\u2014 Hamilton Spaetator.New York, Sept.29, 1890, Me.F.T.Hopkins, Dear Sir:\u2014I received the bottles o° \u201cGouraud\u2019s Oriental Cream.\u201d Please accept thanks;

they aie against it in one place and for it in another.Sir John Macdonald and Sir Jchn Thompson in tte Maritime Provinces are reciprocitariaus; in l'oron- to they are prohibitionists of the most restrictive character.In Napierville Mr.Chaplean declares, almost am I persu- ded to te a free trader; in the House of Commors he gives an approving vote to Mr.Colby\u2019s declaration that the Government is opposed ta reciprocity even in natural products.In Ontario the Ministerial journals have amongst them all the hues of the chameleon ; in Quebec our own teetotum,The Gazette, combines them in itself.Sir Richard Cartwright is indeed very different and, judged by the standard of the restric- tionist leaders, very much to be blamed.He is not versatile enough.He thinks that if a trade principle is a true one on Monday, it is as righteous on Tuesday.For the life of him he cannot sce that protection is un excellent policy to advocate in one constitueney and reciprocity equally good in another.There is therefore a sameness about his propositions which is distasteful to those who can hold two opposite theories having conflicting results, at the same time, «und declare both to be right.The fact is that the only man ofthe restrictionist party\u2014 and he only belongs to it while it serves electioneering purposes\u2014who has au dacity enough to state with any degree of confidence that black is white and that a furlong is longer than a mile, is absent from Canada just now, engaged in negotiating a treaty with Spain.His imit it- ors are in gomparison a poor lot.The people of Canada who are engaged in the serious business of earning a living and making provision for their families, and who fird difficulty enough in making both ends meet would rather hear th truth as stated by Sir Richard Cartwright, let it be told never so often, than listen to the votaries of a creed apparent- I:tas inconstant as the moon and d sap- pointing as a Dead Sea apple.\u2014 rea.IMITATING M'KINLEY.Everybody will remember the flourish of trumpets with which President Harrison in his recent message to Congress, referred to the recipocity clause tacked on to the McKinley bill.He considered it very skillfully adapted to secure the admission of American products into South American countries, producing sugar, tea, coffee and hides.\u201cThis reci- Drociiy provision,\u201d said the President, \u201cis more than an offer.Our part of the bargain is complete; delivery has been made; and when the countries from which we receive sugar, coffee, tea and hides have placed on the free list such of our products as shall be agreed upon, as an equivalent for our concession, a proclamation of that fact completes the trapsaction, and in the meantime our own people have free sugar, tea, coffce and hides.\u201d Brazil and the Argentine Republic have given their reply to this wonderful offer of reciprocity.The recently decreed Brazilian tariff, which came into effect Nov.15, shows a great advance in rates on woollens, cottons, clothing, silk, leather and furniture.The Argentine Republic has also gone into the protective business in a way that would delight even Major McKinley ; Peru is going into the protective business February 1, and a feature of her tariff will be a prohibitory duty on lard.Probably these Bouth American countries have concluded that when they get their tariffs pretty well levelled up they will be in a position to enter into a reciprocity dicker with the Americans\u2014they will be in a position to demand as well as make concessions.Secretary Blaine, no doubt will now be able to say to the McKinley faction, \u201c I told you so.\u201d He opposed the proposal to place sugar on the free list, as doing so would deprive Lim of a lever which he expected to use in getting tariff concessions for American products from the South American countries.Placing sugar on the free list deprived him of that lever and now the South American countries seem to be in no hurry to enter into reciprocal relations on the terms proposed by the McKinley protectionists.Per- paps this _new turn of affairs in South America may help convince our American neighbors that the better course is to 1 geek closer trade relations with their kith and kin on both sides of the Atlantic.It may interest the people of Canaia to know something about the protective duties which are being imposed by these South American States.The new tariff of Brazil comprises 1085 articles.Qa manofactures of woolen, cotton and all clothing in general, the increase in tarif! taxation is 20 per ceat.Most silk goods, with gloves and manufactures of leather, go up from 10 to 15 per cent.The rates on furniture are auymanted by 20 per cent.Flour and corn, potatoes, tea, beer, and many manufactures of iron and steel remain as in the oll tarif.The Government also propcses to revise its export duties, with a view to abolishing them in tte end.The new tariff of the A:gentine Republic is also highly protective.Some of the items are : flour, $50 per ton; refined sugar, $90 per ton; silk hats, $2.50 each; felt hats, $1 each, wool hats, 50 cents each; cigars, carriages, harness, clothing, boots and shoes, furniture, chocolate, cheese, preserved meats, fish and fruit, 60 per cent.Probably the necessity for raising more revenue is the principal cause of these tarif increases; at the same time a desive to be in a position to dicker for reciprocity on equal terms with the United States has also been a factor in the case.ge THE BUSINESS SITUATION.Tke increase intbe number of busine 3 dieasters which has taken placs rocentiy in the United States, And to some exteat in Canada, is not a reassuring feature of tbe business situation at present.The New York Commercial Bulletin of Tuesday had one day\u2019s record of failures, numtering tweuty,some of which are very disastrous.One case involved liabilities of $1,000,000 ; another of $125,000; a third $1,750,000 ; while the rest wera for smaller amounts.The failurs of Dela- mater & Cols bank in Philadelphia looks more disastrous from day to day.The lisbilitics are expected to reach $800,- 000 and the most sanguine do not anticipate any larger dividend than fifty cents on the dollar.These failures are largely the outcome of the disturbed and stringent state of the money market which bas prevailed with more or less acuteness during tbe past two months, aggravated by over-trading, cutting of prices and the stagnation which has pre- veiled in various linas of manufactur- irg industry.The anxiety which prevails in financial circles in New York, the fears of another firancial crisis in the rear fature, and the demand for gold made cn London indicate a somewhat critical situation in the money market, which could easily be worked into a panic, and which is likely to have for some time « depressing effect on business.The situation gives emphasis to the criticisms of The Conmuer- cial Bulletin and London: Economist, noted in The Herald of Tuesday, as to the unwisdowm of the banks in permitting 80 large à part of their financial resources to be locked up in call louns on stock collaterals, in consequence of which they are unable to give the commercial interests of the country proper aud necessary assistance when they most urzently require it.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 GOOD BLEACHED AND FROSTED WHEAT Manitoba and the Northwest have txo enemies, early frost and the wheut bear.The frost can generally be overcome by | using the right kind of seed wheut and by sowing it early in the spring.The wheat bears, who buve their caves in Montreal and other buying cities, can be met only by publishing accurats and trustwortby information concerning the crops as they ara barvested.Before the crops are cut the perennial rumor is set going tbat the crop bas been largely damaged by frost, tbat there is littls or po No.1 Bard and that the bulk of the crop is more cr less valasless.Sometimes the magnificent edifice of rumor bas a smali foundation of fact, und wheat ie oftered for sale which is not first class, It is gratifying to find that one class of injured wheat is still a valuable article.The Winnipeg Commercial savg :\u2014 It has been shown by practical experience in Virden, Manitoba, that first-class flour can be made from badly bleached wheat.A farmer offered a load of very hard-looking wheat on that market, for which the highest bid he could obtain from half a dozen grain buyers was 30 cents a bushel, The farmer refused this, and finally took his load of grain to Koester & Son\u2019s mill at Virden, and had the grain ground into flour.A small quantity of the flour from this wheat was kept by the miller for the purpose of testing.This was made inio bread by Mrs.Koester, and it has produced a first-class article.A loafof bread from this flour was shown a representative of The Commercial, and it appeared to be an excellent article.It was of good color, light and sweet, and in every sense a really good bread.The wheat was apparently very badly damaged from bleaching, and it would generally be considered as almost unsalable for milllng purposes, but this practical test has shown that it wes still valuable for miil- ing.This wheat was also slightly (rosted.Bo long as the wheat is valuable for milling the chief end of growing it will have been obtained.Wheat required for exhibition can he grown under glass if necessary.It is better to gather in all No.1 hard when that is practicable, but it is satisfactory to know that wheat may be bleached and slightly frosted and yet make excellent flour.\u2014 A GOVERNMENT WHITE ELEPHANT Everyone will remember the story où 11 e theft of the Cardinal of Rheims\u2019 ring and bow tbe peccant jackdaw feebly gave vent to the ghost of a caw.The restric- ticnist organ, yesterday swaying between its desire to crow at the election of a Chapleauite and its chagrin at the Chap leauite having to resort to professions of belief in reciprocity, feebly gives vent to the following caw : Napierville is the second Quebec constituency to have a by-election this year.Lik: THE MONTREAL HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11.1890 Montmorency, it was formerly represented by a Liberal who retired to take a seat in the Legislative Assembly behind Mr.Mercier.Like Montmorency, it has rejected the nominee of the Liberal party.It has, it has, and that is just the amusing part of it.When Sir Richard Cartwright sgain moves his reciprocity motion Mr.Paradis will vote\u2014we don't know how; we have not much faith in him.But if he votes against reciprocity, so much the better, he will be buried out of sight should he again attempt to be elected If he votes for it the countenances of Sir John and Mr.Colby, Mr.Foster and Mr.Bowell, as they receive the slap in the face from the hand of Mr.Paradis, will be worth walking to Ottawa to see.Anyway Mr.Paradis goes will satisfy the Liberals.They will either swamp him or ue him to swamp Lis friends.\u2014\u2014l THE PROPERTY RIGHT.The reference in President Harrison's message to Congress to \u201cproperty rights\u201d in Beliring Bea, has drawn forth some very severe criticisms from Independent journals.The idea is that the claim to exclusive jurisdiction it Beliring Sea is based upon \u201ca property right, derived from Russia which was not disregarded by any nation for more than 83 years preceding the outbreak of the existing trouble.\u201d The New York Evening Post says that if the United States derive a property right by purchase from Russia, it makes no difference whether foreign nations had or had \u201cnot disregarded\u201d it for 80 years or 8¢0 years.\u201cTime runs not against sovereignty,\u201d says The Post, and \u201cmoreover, not disregarding is not the same thing as recognizing.\u201d But coming to the real point at issue, our New York contemporary says: \u2018We acquired certain territory on the mainland of North America, and certain islands, All carefully defined and described in the treaty.We acquired also whatever rights attached by international law to the waters ad- Jacent to the same * * * * Ifinternational law makes the dominion of the United states in Behring Sea an exclusive dominion, so be it.If not, not.Therefore, when the President tells us that we have a property right in Bebring Sea, but does not tell what that pro-, perty right is, he juggles with words.If he means by property right an exclusive jurisdiction in waters more than threc miles from the mainland or the islands, he transcends the action of Congress and sets up a claim for which there is no authority of law, either national or international.What int raational law gives the Unitad Btutes in Behring Ses is pretty clear \u2014 three marine miles from shore, nothing more.Russia claimed exclusive juris- viction in Behring Ses, but it was resisted by the United States and Great Britain, and abandoned by Russia in treaties made with the former in 1824 and wita the lat'er in 1825.As far back a8 1794 Congress passed an act which recognized the limitation of a marine league for general territorial jurisdiction, by authoriziog the district courts to take cognizance of all captures made within a marine league of the American shore.This bad special reference to the claim of Russia.In 1862 Secretary Seward declared that the s:a ia open to all nations aud pointed out that territorial jurisdiction is confined to the three- mile liweit.In fact the American claim to exciusive jurisdiction in Behring Saa may be said to date back only to the we when the Alaska fur monopoly became a power in American politics.President Harrison's \u201c property right \u201d claim outside of the three-mite limit is therefore absolutely meaningless, or as The Evenirg Post puts it, ** he juggles with words.\u201d This is not very complimentary to the Cuoief Magistrate of the American nation.so SUBLIME ASSURANCE.OTTAWA CITIZEN : The issue in Napier- ville was a fair and square test of the commercial policy of the Dominion Government, as opposed to the Unrestricted-Reciprocity- Commercial-Union-Annexation policy of Mr.Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright.The result shows that while the people of this agricultural constituency, lying in close proxifnity to the United States, and peculiarly interested in a free exchange of the products of both countries are favorably disposed towards a fair and equitable interchange of those products, they are not prepared either to accept tie \u2018\u2018Reciprocity at any price\u201d cry of Sir Richard Cartwright, nor to be bull-dosed into submission to Yankee dictation by the stuffed club of a McKinley bill, This is richness with a vengeance.We are not at liberty to assume that The Citizen wes ignorant of the facts (1) that no straight Government protectionist dared appeal to the electors of Napier- ville on the trade policy of the Govern ment; (2) that Mr.Paradis declared himself an independent and was acknowledged and supported as such by Mr, Chapleau; (3) that Mr.Paradis declared himself in favor of unrestricted reciproeity with the United States \u2014 that, in fact, so far as the trade question is concerned he stoed on the Liberal platform; (4) that Mr.Paradis declared himself opposed to the Dominion Franchise Act and demanded its repeal; (5) that Mr.Chapleau declared himself in favor of freer trade relations with the United States to the extent of free trade, if necessary; (6) that he approved of Mr.Paradis\u2019 declaration of independence and supported him on the unrestricted reciprocity platform.So far as the trade question is concerned the victory is therefore one for what The Citizen calls the Unre\u2014 tricted-Reciprocity-Commercial-Union- Annexation policy of Mr.Laurier and Bir Ricoard Cartwright,\u201d as folly as if Mr.Monette instead of Mr.Paradis had teen elected.The flagrant dishonesty of our Ottawa contemporary in concealing from its readers the six undeniable facts stated above, is only equallad by its brazen assurance in heralding the election of Mr.Paradis as an endorsement of the restrictionist trade policy of the Government.The Citizen knows that the exact contrary is the fact, and that the election of Mr, Paradis, while in Chapleau, is an emphatic condemnation of the trade policy of the Goverament.WHY IN ONE CASE AND NOT IN ANOTHER?\u2014 The decision which was recently given on the subject of the power to seize the salary of a debtor has much to commend it.The case as put by a contemporary was thus : A customs officer had in his hands a sum of money belonging to another customs officer, which he had earned by extra service for the Grand Trunk, A debtor of the latter seized the money, but did not secure possession of it, the holder of it declaring that moneys belonging to Government employees were not se1zable; The debtor replied that while this applied to salaries it did not cover other moneys, but the court decided that it did and that the money in question was non-seizable, This question does not affect merely the debtor and creditor; it affects the employer of the debtor.He contras's with a person to perform certain duties.These duties are well and diligently per formed, but the employer is called away from his business to give evidence in a court touching the salary received by such and such a one, and this is repeated nearly every time à seizure is put upon the debtor's money.The employer bas no interest in the matter and he is comjclled eitber to discharge one who is, perhaps, a valuable servaut or else be eubjected to the ammoyanco referred to.If the moneys of Government employees are hot seizable, why should the salaries «f clerks in railway offices, merchants\u2019 houses, ete., be liable, and why should these gentlemen any more than the superior officers of the Government be compelled to waste their time in a law court, testifying as to the amount they pay such and such a clerk?\u2014 WHILE Mr.Chapleau and his candidate in Napierville declared in favor of the freest possible trade relations with the United States, the Tory stumper in South Victoria, Ont., are furiously denouncing as traitors and annexationists the Liberals whose policy Mr.Paradis borrowed.A MINISTERIAL journsl says .A cablegram informs us that General Grube, the American Minister to Spain, will, immediately on reaching Madrid, recommence negotiations king to the attainment of reciprocity Detween the Spanish West Indies and the United States.Well Grube isnot halfso pretty a name as Carlos Tupperaz, but it is likely to bave more business in it.\u2014 ACCORDIXG to recent despatches another revolution is brewing in Argentina.The swindlers who robbed the treisury under the Celman regime are getting out of the country as fast as possible with their ill-gotten gains, and the people, knowing this, are angry at Pelligrini\u2019s Government for not bringing them to justice.The situation looks so utterly hopeless that repudiation of foreign indebtedness is talked of.This is just | what might be expected.\u2014_\u2014 Tne Montreal correspondent of The Empire telegrapls that paper: A8 Napierville has goue, so will go the pro- vinee whenever Sir John decides to appeal Lo the constituencies, As Nagpierville has just declared aguinst the trade policy of Sir John's Government, and in f.vorof unrestricted reciprocity, the above prophecy 18 not at all alarming to the Liberals.The significance of the election is that no straight Government or proteetionist candidate dared take the field in tbat constituency.\u2014 Tur losses by fire in the United States during tbe month of November are estimated at $8,351,000, a large decreases as compared with November 1839, when the loss was $20,081,600.The losses for the 11 months of the present year were $04,118,345, against $124,644,450 and $118,957,360 in the corresponding periuds of 1889 and 1888 respectively.Of the November fires 169 involved losses ranging from $10,000 to $400,000.The enormous difference between the firs loss record of 1889 and that for 1890 probably represents increased vigilance on the part of property owners as well as a diminution in incendiarism.\u2014\u2014.England's Grand Old Man.Chicago Tribune.As was predicted the result of the Parnell imbroglio seems to have strengthened Mr.Gladstone immensely in England.Two of his bitterest journalistic critics agree in this.There can be hardly any question that Gladstone\u2019s demand for Parnell\u2019s retirement and his refusal to made the concessions demanded as the price thereof have greatly benefited the iberals, especially in Wales, Scotland and Northern England.tl Ready Whenever We Are.Toronto.Globe.\u2018The fact is that the people of the United States areready to consider the question of enlarged trade relations with Canada as soon as they see that the Government and the Parl:ament of Canada are honestly desirous of coming to an agreement.Havana Cigars JUST RECEIVED.Mandolinata Concha Finas.Henricus Philippas Arabas, Diaz Garcia, Sandringhams.Come PHILIP HENRY 134 8t.James-street.Telephone 739, dT) OPENING OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL for NURSES Of the Montreal General Hospital, WINDSOR?Thursday, 11th December, HALL 7$ 1890.at 3 o'clock, The Governor General and Lady Stanley have kindly promised to be present and assist.Carsley\u2019s Advertisement THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11.PLUCKY PUBLISHERS!

Importance Transactad.FLEN good things gro miesel Bays a veteran, whose name, were it men- W tioned, would suggest many past escapades on the quarter stretch of both wood and bad pavor, \u2018\u201c but one of the best things I ever had in my life slipped away from me at Saratoga a few years ago.It was near- jng the close of the racing there, and I wanted to come West with enough to spend a good fall and winter on comfortably, and to do this I had a stake of $150 to start on.I told a friend of my finan- cial condition, and he said he would | have something good to give mein au few days, and if I would wait till it turned up I could play my limit and reap my harvest.A day or two passed and he told me the race wad on, and it was a steeplechase, the last event on the card.One ofthe best jumpers in the country was a hot favorite, and the race looked like a certainty for him to win, and, to my surprise, my friend named 2 horse to beat him that had not won a race intwo years, and, in fact, at his best was a very moderate performer.\u201cWhen Le told me to go broke on this horse, I could not help but smile at his nerve in giving me such a tip, but when the race came on 1 walked slowly down to the betting ring and thought I could see how the land laid.The bookies were just puiting up the odds, and they quickly marked 2v tol against the cinch my friend had given me.While standing thers looking up at the boards asin a reverie my friend again passsd by and nudging me, reached over and whispered, \u2018Do as I tell you, it is a good thing.\u2019 I studied a moment longer, and theu concluded I would play the safe plan and stake my $150 on the horse fora piaca at 6to1.This I did, and my ticket was hardly safe in my hand when the price commenced to go down againstthe horse, but still so worthless was he in the estimation of the bookmakers that, in «pite of 4 toa of money being bet on him, the pcst price against him was ai good as 8 tol.The race was run, and, as I expected, the favorite won by nearly a fur-~ ong, but the old plug, my friend\u2019s cinch, managed, after a desperate tinish, to earn the honors of a place.My $150 had increased $-00, and I rubbed my hands in glee, not only on account of winning a good stake, but as a congratulation to my good judgment in going on the safe plan and playing the horss for a place .\u201cOn my way to the betting ring where I was going to turn my ticket into money, I passed by the reporters, stand and heard one of them say to another scribe, \u2018Look, there is going to be foul claimed.\u201d I glanced up to the judge's stand, and there with those officials was the jockey of my horse, while standing on the step, waiting his turn, was the rider of the winner.Both quickly had their say, and then, after the usual consultation, one of the judges stepped off the stand and announced that the winner was disqualified for going the wrong course, and they gave the race to the plug I played for a place.The conceit was completely knocked out of me and [ realized 1 was a sucker, as I knew then the thing was cut and dried for the winner to go the wrong course and my friend was on to the game.Instead of $S0U 1 should have won $3000, but I have since concluded the lesson {learned balanced the account, as I found there are a few people in this world a shade smarter than am, although up to this experience I always had doubted that fact.\u201d JO Does Not Approve of Stralghtaways.Robert Bonner, speaking of the mooted straightaway trotting races next season, says: \u201cThe public patronize trotting races to see the horse trot, and with a mile straightaway very little could be seen.A thoroughbred trotter in action is one of the most beautiful sights in the world, and a trotting race can only be enjoyed on the regulation oval track.If the straightaway track ever materializes and all conditions are right, I may send Sunol to see what she can do.But there would be little merit in sueh a record.I am opposed to straightaway tracks, both for runners and trotters.The oval track is the only one for horsetrotting, and a record made on a straightaway, or kite- shaped, track is valueless, in my opinion.\u201d * The Talent Fooled, A race came up at a track not far from Chicago last summer and everything was cut and dried for a certain horse to win.One horse, however, stood in the way, and the parties interested proceeded to \u2014 hunt up the owner of that horse and see what could be done.He was quickly found and assured the gentlemen lis horse was far from ready for a race, and he was by no means a dangerous element, and he was running him for work.This knowledge wus all that was wanted, and nioney of all denominations went in on the horse to do the trick, The horse that was running for work steadily went up in the betting, but when he touched 15 to 1 several men, acting as agents for his owners, slipped into the ring and put on the money first in small amounts and then in fifties and hundreds.When the flag fell he went at once to the front, and, leading throughout, romped in the cleverest of winners.A more sorry-looking lot of people were never seen than the gang that thought they had the race fixed,and to this day several are yet trying to get together as much money as they had in their pockets before getting on to that sure thing.Sunol Not to

bicycle riders of the New York, Manhattan and New Jersey Athletic Clubs, promises to be a serious ons.The general impression among athletic club men seems 10 be that the L.A.W.has bitten off more than it can chew.In the fizht with the A.A.U, last spring the L.A.W.got the worst of the arzument.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014 FOOTBALL, Contests {or the Development of Mind and Muscle.Football is not a contest of mera skill and strength.It is not the physical against the physical; it is intellect and will against will and intellect.\u2018Che feelings are thosc of cavalry ina charge, or of the old-time knight in the tourner.What good player ever realizad in a game that there is such a thing as {flesh and blood ?In practice vou sometimes feel as 1f there is not anything else, but in a

cordial invitation for a Canadian Rugby team to visit New York to play at their tournament on Saturday; and no doubt would have been alluwed a very liberal amount for expensese.A number of mea were asked and consented to go and a splendid excursion rate secured.It was found that the team could be taken there and back for less than £200.But they did not care to touch their own pocketbooks and yesterday wired for a guarantee of $500, which was.of conrse, refused, and tue local men decided to stay at home.Consequently a splendid chance of showing what Canadian Rugby men could do against crack United States kickers waz lost, snd also a most likely opportunity for inaugurating a regular international Kugby contest.The Staten Island Athletic Club made a serious error in failing to negotiate with the Ontario Union, when a thoroughly representative provincial fifteen would ur doubtedly have been sent to Gotham.-_\u2014\u2014- LACROSSE, The Proper Organization of the New York

gymnasinm work will be done by ail the candidates for places on club team, and whenever practicable games will be played in some of the city armories.In consequence of the great number of college men in the club, it was decided to organize a college graduate team, which will play matches next season with Princeton, Lehigh, Stevens and others.This team will include ex-Harvard, Princeton, Yale, New York University, Stevens Institute and College of the City of New York men, now in the club.From the remaining players another very good team will be selected, and a series of matches for club

or Lebigh will play the New York team in Madison-squase Garden on Saturday evenirg nexi.Toronto Will Retire if Cornwall Gets the Championship.Toronto is not anxious to re:eive the championship this year, yet they are unwilling that the Cornwalls should be awarded the trophy.The Mail publishes the following: \u201cSecretary Schofield, of the Toronto LacrosseClub, received notice yesterday of a meeting of the Representative Committee of the Senior Lacrosse League, to be held next Monday in Montreal, to take action on the championship of the league, which Cornwall claims.Mr.Scholfield stated that the Toronto club bas not yet made a selection of à delegate to attend the meeting, but the committee will be called together some day this week for that purpose.He does not believe that the shamrock representative will favor awarding the championship to Cornwall now that Le- roux has been declared a professional by the Amateur Athletic Association of Canada.The energetic secretary of the Toronto Lacrosse Club believes that the best wav out of the difficulty is to award \u2014-\u2014\u2014\u2014 a \u2014 -\u2014- \u2014 - THE MONTREAL HERALD.THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1590.he championship

championship the Torouto Lacrosse Club should stay out of the leagus and have nothing more to do with clubs like Cornwall that played professionals.Le- roux, he said, fad been declared a professional, and, therefore, the other clubs, if they are anxious to retain their amateur standing, should accept the ruling of the A.A.A.C.and purge themselves of anything in the shape of professionalism.He also thought that no championship should be awarded this year.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 ATHLETICS.Pedestrians Excited Over the Result of a Recent Match.SPECI AL TO THE HERALD.LANCASTER, Pa.,

Dec.10.\u2014At a meeting held yesterday by the managements of the Princeton athletic organizations of the college the Football Association donated to them a new club house.The amount that will be expended in the building will be between $6000 and $7000.It will be erected on a site convenient to both the campus and the athletic grounds, which will probably be on William-street, the street leading to the \"Varsity grounds.It will be used as a general club house by all the athletic organizations and will supply a long felt want, especially in the matter of redu- ving expenses of the training table.It was this that first suggested the idea, for the training table expenses alone of the Football Association during the past seuson amounted to $2300, a sum considerably larger than if the table had been under the associations own management.The ground floor of the new building will be fitted with a kitchen, dining hall, a billiard parlor and a club room.The upper story will be provided with sleeping apartments.\u2014____ THE RING, Many Clubs Looking for Godfrey and Plenty of Mon.y Ready.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Bosron, Dec.10.\u2014George Godfrey, the colored heavy weiglit boxer, who recently defeated Ed.Smith in New Jersey, is at present in great demand.After receiving the decision over Ed.Smith, Billy Muldoon, who looked after Jake Kilrain in his New Orleans battle, challenged Godfrey, on behalf of Kilrain, to fight for any amount.Since that time athletic clubs that make boxing a feature have been bidding strongly for a contest between these two men, Yesterday Capt.Cook of this city received \u2018a telegram from President Fulda of the California Club, stating that that club would give a purse of $4500 for a fight between Godfrey and Kilrain in January.Kil- rain has accepted the offer, but Godfrey wants the club to allow him $500 for expenses, \u201cThe Puritan Club of New York has offered us a $4000 purse,\u201d said Godfrey, \u2018and would I prefer fighting there rather than go ta-San Francisco to battle for $4500.\u201d Late in the evening another club was reported to be after these boxers.It was the Gladstone Club of Providence, They announced that a purse of $4000 would be hung up should Godfrey and Kilrain decide to meet in that city.Knuekles Never Kill, \u201cPendragon\u201d concludes a review of the McAuliffe-Slavin case in The London Referes witli the following, in which he appears to pretty effectually prove that the bare \u2018knuckles are really less fbrmi- dable than the gloves; \u201c1 can't, after the expert evidence of Messra.Anderson of London and Bainbridge of Manchester, understand how itis I have got it into my head that more men have been killed with the gloves than with the naked fist; that all the thick ears and flattened noses of fighting men have been given with the gloves and not with the naked fist; that, though I have seen a gcod many prize fights, I fever saw a man knocked out with the naked fist, while I have known scores wha have; been knocked out with the gloves; and that only a couple of years ago, at a \u2018carnival\u2019\u2019 of the Boxing Association, whose president swore to the mildness, tenderness and innocuousness «f boxing, I saw more punishment given with full sizad gloves (quite 10 oz.gloves) in three minutes than I had ever befors seen given with a naked fist in double the time.As I bave got it into my head that I did see this done, I will aad that she giver was Robert Hair, then champion of the middleweights; I do not at the moment of writing remember the name of the receiver.All this must be very wrong and very fcolish on my part, sesing it opposes itself to the sworn views of (among others) Messrs.Anderson, of London, and Bainbridge, of Manchester; but a8 I never saw either of these gentlemen box, and never until now beard of one of them boxing, I shall re- gerve to myself the right of holding to my own opinion, mad as it is, and to add to it that the cruellest fights I haye ever seen were glove fights, when the fighters were really such, and were not mereiy having larks for some fools\u2019 or set of fools\u2019 money.Also I will tell you aga/n what I have told you before, but which will under the circumstances well bear retelling, tbat if two men were fighting, one with tbe naked knuckles and the other with small (say 4oz or 6.2) gloves, and the naked knuckle man did not win in the first quarter of an hour, I sbouid, unless there was something very uaeqaal in (be contest, put my money on the glove man, and fully expect to see him administer double a8 much puaishment as the man with the naked kuucklea.\u201d Dempsey Goes tg New Orleans, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, SAN Francisco, Dec.10.\u2014 Jack Dempsey, the pugilist, left here last night for New Orleai.s, where he will fight Robert Fi:ze simmous on Jan.14 No Match Arranged, The backers of Jack Fitzpatrick and Tommy Kelly met last night, but no satisfactory arrangements could be arrived at and the proposed match has gona to the wall.The first proposition of the backers of Kelly was that the man should weigh at 115 pounds, six hours before entering the ring, and as we predicted yesterday morning this would not suit the other side, who desired that the men should go on the scale ten hours previous to going inside the ring.The Kelly party, right enough, were there to concede nothing, and all that the opposition could do was to knock off one hour, making it nine.This, of couras, was not agreed to, and the consequenca is the match falls througn.A plain statement of the matter might show that Kelly would fight under 115, wheress, should Fitzpatrick come down w that weight with good bard training for one month, he wouid certainly be too weak to tignt, and ten hours would give him an opportunity of gaining at least three pounds, thus ai.lowing Lim an advantage of fully six pounds over his opponent.Fitzpatrici\u2019s hackers secing that their terms could nas be satisfactory, then propossd to match their man against any other at 12) pounds weight six hours before the contest.This may yet meet the views of tbe East Enders, who can produce a wood un at that weight.Dwyer Denies It.A writer in The New York World says: \u201cPhil Dwyer told me the other night that he did not telegraph George Godfrey that he would back him for $5000 against Kilrain, as was reported.\u201cIam rept busy backing my horses,\u201d Mr.Dwyer said, \u201cand there is more money in them than there is in boxers\u2014 at least that has been my experience.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BILLIARDS, The Standing of Schaefer and Slosson inthe Contest, Just how Schaefer and Slosson stand in reference to results of their many contests is a matter of uncertainty, but it is probable that a correct tally is 32 games at various styles of playing, of which Schaefer has won 16 and Slosson the same number.So fur as can be ascertained Schaefer has won nine balk line games to Slosson\u2019s five; three games of straight rail to Slosson's four; two games of cushion caroms to Slosson\u2019s three; two games at the champions game (diagonal corner lines) to Blosson\u2019s four;.Of 22 games at all styles of billiards played in the west Schaefer has won 12.Of nine games at all styles played in the east Schaefer has won four, and of their tournament games Schaefer bas won seven to Slosson-s eight.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SKATING, Skater Donoghue, Now In Norway, Sends Word Hee.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, New York, Dec.10.\u2014A latter

desire.He states that in a few days he intends to issue a challenge to Norseng, the Norwegian champion.He says he under- =tands that Norseng will not enter the nternational races this year, and as he lives at Hamau, midway betwcen Kop- ping and Christiana, Joe desires to meat him on the way back to tne latter plane.Norseng won the two and five miles races at Amsterdam last year, beating all records for five miles up tu that time, although Joe Donoghue came to the front with his Orange Lake record later in the winter.If Joe beats Norseng, it is his intention to issue à general challenge at o:ce to Fredricksen and any other skaser in Norway.When the letter was written, the ice in both Norway and Swedea wus in good condition.We may expect very soon to hear of some matches bein0 made, for Joe means business in Europa this winter.He will wear the cherry diamond of the Munbattan Athletic Cluv in every race.BASEBALL, A Noted Ball Player Leaves the Dia:nmd for the Church, SPECIAL TO

would learn the orders issued between Montreal and Kiogs- ton.The train left at 5.33 o'clock on the morning of Dec.4 as neur as I can tell The next record I heard of this train was at La- chine Junction.I had no information after that.I had no control of that train when on & double track.L identify the body as that of Joseph Birse.When this train started I was in my office.I did not see it start.It is ny duty to telegraph.It is anybody's duty to telegraph to the switchman who should pay attention.That man was not Individually notified.It is the operator at Lachine Junction who should notify the switchman at the Willows.Mr.Proud, the agent, should be there when the train started.It would bave started if there had been anybody there but the conductor.He came to y office when I ordered the train to start.The message boy was there also.I do my own telegraphing, The operator at Lachine Junction telegraphed that the train is about starting, three times.The switch is not considered an extra hazardous one.They don\u2019t signal for the switch unless they want it tarned.Two long whistles would indicate that the switch is correctly set.The white light at night is supposed to indicate that the switch is set for the main track.There would be a difference between the signal of a local train.\u2018The sigaal would be four distinct sivnals, for the main exprass either one or two whistles.The delay of the starting of that train was a derailment of several cars at Richmond street.There was a local train for Lachine due to leave about that time.The Lachine train left eight minutes after the train which met with the accident.That train wes going on its usual track.Iamimmediately responsible to J.Steph- epson and J.Riddle.When the switch is turned to the Lachine track there is a purple light.Tne order to start was written by myself.I have a copy of i with the signature of the conductor.At all times tbe switch should be set for the main line.The last train that passed \u201cTbe Willows\u201d would have left the switch right for No.6 train.The man in charge at \u201cThe Willows\u201d at night now does not understand telegraphing.I dont know who was on duty when that train passed.There is one special rule that would have prevented the accident if properly observed.It reads \u201call trains going to Lachine will sound the ordinary switch whistle at Willows.\u201d There are other rules stating that all switches should be set for the main line, indicating white by night.Any driver running over a switch wronzly set will be held personally responsible and subject to dismissal, even if no accident occur, Dubois\u2019 hours were from 7 p.m.tg 7 a.m, Mr.Stone remained until the adjourde ment of the inquest, in order to be thera to afford

Literature in the Land of Confacins.The vriting of this class of literature began in the thirteenth century, and continued to be a favorite occupation of Chinese writers for about three centuries.After this it was felt that enough had been provided, and the production almost ceased.The authors concealed their names.The moral teaching of the Confucian school was too powerful for those who loved to- give reign to their imagination in novel! and play writing tobe able to venture on publicity.It was never with the consent of the always dominant moral philosophers that novels grew to the position of influence they now possess in China.This hostility has by no means ceased.Quite recently there appeared in a Chinese newspaper a paper written by an anonymous Confucianist against novels.He is deeply impressed with the need of continuing the crusade against licentious literature and romances commenced by one Chien during the last century, when he founded a school in Soochow for the promotion of the healthy study of the classical books.He held that novels are now so prevalent that they amount toa fourthestate in the realm of teaching, the Confucian.Buddhist, and Taoist literatures being the first, second, and third.But instead of im- culcating virtue they lead men into vice.Every one reads them or hears them read, and it may be questioned Whether the moral influence for evil of Chinese works of imagination, is he says, not greater than that of the books of the three religions for good.They suggest to young men that they should lead a licentious life, and represent killing a man as a noble action.To read of these things produces disastrous results on public morality.The many cases of crime in the courts and the number of those who adopt a robber's career are due to the effect of Chinese novel reading.This author was followed by Shih, who set the example of establishing a paper-burning urn in his family court.Into this urn went all novels and every sort of vicious literature on which he could lay hands, and especially the blocks from which they were printed.For these he made wide search, in the hope of extinguishing the evil at its source.In order to find money to buy them up, he first used his spare funds, and then sold clothing, and even his wife's ornaments, in order that the work of destruction might be more complete.Others of influence in Soo- chow followed these examples; they created a public opinion, and the consequence was that representative.-t sixty-five of the most respectable i.went together to the city temple, buns incense.and made a vow not to engaze in the trade in immoral books.An office was opened in the Confucian temple of the magistracy for buying up the blocks of all immoral books, including novels.There was an immense destruction of this literature in Soochow, so that it became hard to meet with vicious publications.This was, however, nearly half a century ago, and the evil rose again.Twenty-five years ago the then Governor of the district issued a new proclamation reiterating the order prohibiting immoral publications.at the present time there is a flood of books with a bad influence.Such reading as they furnish has more influence in leading young minds wrong, says the Confucianist writer, than all the influence on the side of right or the teaching of the sages.\u2018\u201cThe forcign reader of Chinese books of an imaginative kind cannot condemn them indiscriminately, because they contain beautiful characters both of men and women, which exhibit an adniirable idea of bravery, filial piety, purity of life, loyalty, and other noble qualities, But there can be no doubt of the bad influence of many of the native books which familiarize the minds of the young with scenes of vice, and hold up successful crime to sympathetic admiration.It must also be remembered that whatever evil there may be in the actual life of the Chinese, they have among them the firm friends of a high morality.The national conscience and the national literature alike testify with unfaltering voice to the duty of every one to be moral, just, and humane.\u201d Female Labor Statistics.A German statistician has published some remarkable figures regarding the extent to which females have affected the labor situation in Europe.It is shown that there is an increase in females in all the best factories.In Germany alone there are over five and a half millions of female artisans and mechanics employed.England follows with over four millions, France with about the same numbers and Austria and Italy three and a half millions.It is not difficult from these figures to understand why labor is so cheap in Europe and why wages are not as high &s in Canada.The industrial advantages in this cguntry for males and females cannot be surpassed anywhere in the world, not even excepting our neighbors to the south of us.\u2014Montreal Star, Where apollinaris Comes

DeliberatelySwindled His Benefactress\u2014 His Suspicious Conduct in Nova Scotia\u2014 He and His Wife Attempt Suicide and He Dies, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, HarrrAx, Dec.10.\u2014The Associated Press reports on Monday contained the following despatch from Boston: * The police are very anxious to ascertain the whereabouts of Marshall F.Gillon, alias A.C.Stewart, charged with fraudulently obtaining over $20,000 within the past year from Mrs.Mathias Mills, an aged widow of Needham.Mrs.Milis at the death of Gillon\u2019s parents took him into her family, where he remained until his wrong doings, caused her to relinquish her guardianship.His erimes brought him to the State\u2019s prison, where he professed to have experianced religion.Upon his release he visited Mrs Mills and cbtained several sums ostensibly to aid bim in business.He succeeded in raising more moneys upon forged checks on the lady.He has been located in Vermont, Nova Scotia, New York, and in South Framingham, Mass In the latter place he was living with a woman, not his wife, who has now also disappeared.\u201d His Doings at Hubbard\u2019s Cove, Halifax county is the scene of a tragic sequel to the above.In the latter part of July last a man of prosperous appearance, apparently between 3s and 40 years of age, arrived at Hubpard\u2019s Cove, accompanied by his wife, a good looking and stylish American woman.The couple took up their residence at the house of Josiah Millar, a well-to-do fisherman, whose wife was a sister of the newly arrived woman.With frequent visits made to the United States by the man, the pair have sojourned at Hubbard\u2019s Cove ever since.They spent money like water, seeming to have an inexhaustible source of supply.Whenever funds ran short the man would start off for Boston and return in a few day with a fresh supply, which would be expended as lavishly as what had come betore.Suspicion Awakened, The stranger was so mysterious in lis movements that all the inhabitants looked upon him with suspicion and concluded that the money he gas slending so freely was not come by honesty.Subsequent events prove the truth of their surmises.When the man wanted to go cif on his periodical trips fo Boston he always started at night time or late in ti:e afternoon so as to reach the city at night or early miorning.Sometimes he would stop at a hotel onthe way and sleep there for the night, coming into Halifax inthe morning in time to take the steamer Halifax.Coming back it was the sme way, arranging so that he would pass through the city under cover of darkness, As a rule he left his wife behind and weut un these excursions alone.But on the last occasion something unusual seemed to have occurred in Boston, as he sent for his wife and she started off with à large sum of money her husband had lefs behini.This time the man came back by way of Montreal accompanied by his wife, The fellow was heard on several occasions to say that he received his supplies of money from an oll woman in the United S:ates for whom he was doiog business, and this acBertion together with other cie- cumstances, led the inhabitants to more firmly believe that lite was an embezzlar or something of that kind.The Mans Recklessness.Bince his last return from the United Btates he lived more recklessly than ever, became very dissipated and showed a character very depraved.The man was known by several names at Hubbard\u2019s Cove.He said his name wus Marshall Gillon.But he received letters addressed to Wrank Fring and Henry Schurman, and when he came to Halifax always travelled under the name of Frank Fring, stopping at the Green Hotel.For some days past the couple seemed to havebeen living in dread of detection and arrest, and on Monday their fears reached a climax, when the despatch from Boston printed above was published in the Halifax papers, Gillon was shown a paper containing it that afternoon and turned deadly pale.He evidently told his wife what had oc curred, for shortly afterwards the couple started out of the house together and went towards the woods.They did not return after some hours and the people with whom they were living began to suspect that something serious had happened.A search of their room was made and resulted in the discovery of a note left by Gillon\u2019s wife in which she stated that be preferred death to arrest and she wanted to die with him.She presented ber gold watch and chain to her sister and bade good-by.The Ghastly Discovery.Parties at once started out to scour the woods, but the pair were not found till yesterday afternoon, when they were discovered lying together on the ground in an unconscious condition.A large empty bottle, that had contained laudanum was found close by, together with a breach-loading rifle, and in Gillon\u2019s ocket were found two loaded revolvers.he man and woman had swallowed the laudanum between them and laid down to die; but they were still alive when found, though suffering fearfully from exposure and the effects of the poison.They were conveyed as speedily as possible to Josiah Miller's house and Dr.Kelly, of Chester, was summoned.Of the two Gillon was in carious state and though the doctor worked hard with bim all night the man died this morning.His feet were badly frozen when he was found.The woman Was not in such a serious condition, partly owing to the fact that sha had vomited the poison she swallowed, baving taken too much, and there are gocd hopes of her recovery.The Woman Not So Anxious to Die.Gillon made no statement during the night, and only spoke ~once when h» asked for \u201ccold water.\u201d The quantity of landanum swallowed by him was four Ounces.The woman states tbat she did not want to see her husband arrested, and they hai determined to commit suicide togetter Now that death has placed him beyond arrest she does not feel the most pre-.50 apxious to dic herself.The couple had very little if any money left when they went to the woods to take their own \u2018es, lv How He Wasted Money, To give an idea of the reckless manner in which Gillon spent his ill-gotten wealth, it may be stated that he offered a young girl belonging near Hubbard\u2019s Cove, of whom he had become enamored, $300 if she would live with him for a week.He had previously offered her $20 to meet him, and when she refused he sent her the amount and made her the above offer.Sometimes when he visited Boston during the summer he would send large sums of money to his wife, who had remained at Hubbard\u2019s Cove.Aft:r he came back the last time, and in his most reckless moments, he would talk of blowing off his head, and said he would shoot any man who attempted to arrest him, and then shoot himself.The place where the tragedy occurred is just over the Halifax County line in Lunenburg.The circumstances of the case are so well-known that it is doubtful whether « coroner's inquest will be held.It has not yet been decided what will be done with Gillon's body.Story of His Early Career, The following is told in a Boston de- tpatch: Mrs.Matthias Mills, a wealthy widow living in Needham and an ardent Methodist, has just attempted to make a clergyman out of an ex-convict, and the result is that she is just $21,000 out of pocket.Marshall F, Gillon is the name of the young aspirant for church honors and his present abode is known only to himself.Mre.Mills and Gilion\u2019s mother were old fricnds and when young Gillon began to show decidadly wicked proclivities the wealthy widow took a decided interest in his weifare.Her early efforts failed, however, and Gillon for his various misdeeds was schtenced to five Years to the Massachusetts State prison.While there he remembered that Mrs.Mills bad often expressed a desire thas he should become converted and enter the Methodist ministry.Tae idea struck Gillon ax a brilliant one and so he wrote at once to Mrs.Mills, intimating that if be had money on h's ralease he should prepare himself for tune ministry.Cliecks in varying sums to the amount of $1200 were sent him on his release.However, business promised greater in- ducenients than the pulpit, and he informed his henefuctress that if he had another $1000 be could form a railroad syndicate and make his fortune.The nioney was forthcoming.He proceeded, however, to paint New York red with this cash, though he wrote Mrs.Mills frequent letters glowing with religious fervor.The syndicate required more money than le anticipated, and so he kept drawing on the widow.Finally he sent lier a note to this effect: My Dearest and Best Friend: Ît is sometimes difficult for me to realize on your remittances as soon as I misht wish.Don't you think it would bs a good idea for me to make out the checks for money in your name when the concern needs money, 80 that I will not be subjected to unnecessary and oftentimes disastrous delay?Of coursa you know me well enough by this time to know that I can be trusted, Risgiog the dan- ver of your displeasure\u2014which would prove a great blow to me\u2014I have signed a paper with your name for $300 and you will probably hear from it very soon aiter gettin« this note.I find that I am still unflinching in the faith I possess of God and the great ood lis love has done me.How could I ever have wandered in the dark and devious ways of sin is morc than I can understand.These checks came thick and fast during the last year, and nearly $21,000 had been obtained before a halt was called.The attention of the police was called to the fact by some one who suspected that, all was not right.An investigation was begun and it was found that Gillon has been travelling about the country in great style on this money.He has had a handsome house elegantly furnished at Framingham, has kept numerous servants, and driven out in elaborate shapa.He got wind of the officers, however, and has left for unknown parts.eee een \u2018Away!

street yesterday afternoon ram into a sneak thief who snatched her pocket book and ran.It contained only 77 cents but she was much exercised over the loss and raising a cry of \u201cStop thief!\u201d goon collected a crowd who pursued the runaway.He made adive into Mr.Belanger\u2019s cigar store and pa- theti¥ally called upon them to gave him, Money was no ob ject and (he would pay liber~ ally for protection.The clerk in charge stated, however, that they had no available hiding places just there and that he had better get.Hegotby a back way, jumped a ter-foot fence and concealed himself in a neighboring coal bin, but the ubiquitous policeman was on hand, ferretted him, grabbed him by the collar and landed him on the sidewalk face to face with the irate loser of the 77 cents.Alas, he had dropped his overcoat in the chase and she could not positively identify him.So while she engaged in a dispute with a lady friend as to whether or not he was the thief, the policeman in charge became disgusted, assumed the functions of a magistrate and discharged the only too willing captive, who did not even stop to re sent a hearty kick from the majestic guardian of the law delivered with

Company at the Academy Next Week.The J.C.Dufl Opera Company will be the attraction at the Academy next week.The companies which Mr.Daff has brought here have always beeen first class ones in every respect, and judging from the names of those who enmpose that which will occupy the boards at this theatre next week, the reputation be has already made will be fully sustained.The following is the repertoire: Monday and Tuesday, \u201clolanthe,\u201d Wednesday and Thursday, \u201cPatience;\u201d and Friday and Saturday, \u201cThe Pirates of Penzance\u201d The east will comprise Messrs.Charles Bassett, Wm.McLaughlin, A.W.F.McCollin, Clement Bam- bridge, and Joseph Fay, and the Misses Lenore Snyder, Cornelia Bassett, Julia Hawthorne, Cameron, and Fannie Edwards.Hearts of New York, At the Theatre Royal next week the attraction will be \u201cHearts of New York,\u201d which à contemporary says is à charming little comedy drama, filled Harris\u2019 Theatre twice yesterday, and gave such good satisfaction that a great many went out between acts and bought tickets to see it again, The scenic effects are excellent, some of the pictures being real works of art.They show a number of the more noted buildings and localit:es in New York.The company is company is composed of very clever people.The Theatres.\u201cPaul Kauvar\u201d is doing a fair business at the Academy and \u201cThe Boy Tramp\u201d is as popular as ever at the Theatre Royal.Raffello Cavallo, This is the name of the young man who lately arrived in this city to take charge of the Theatre Royal orchestra.No one when looking at the youth (he is not yet 20) would not imagine that he is old enough to lead an orchestra, but the music which has lately been heard at the Theatre is such that no one can wonder at the flattering notices which preceded his appearance here.His medley overture this week is probably the best music ever heard at te Royal except upon special occasions, Messrs.Sparrow and Jacobs were wise in taeir choice.A Life's Revenge, Owing to the bad state of the weather the Queen's Hall was not so crowded last night as it should have been for the excellent performance given by the Grand Trunk Dramatic Club of \u201cA Life's Revenge.\u201d There was a fair number present and the performers received a warm welcome, Mr.Drew caused laughter from the time le appeared in his humorous character of \u201cTiraloo.\u201d Mr.Walmsley, too, had lost a great deal of the nervousness which somewhat marred his performance the first night, and gave a really fine representation of the, part of \u201cFournichet.\u201d\u201d Miss Kitts (wi® was the recipient of a magnificent bouquet) did very well, and Miss R.Hilton was encored in her dance with \u201cTira- loo,\u201d and deservedly so.The part of the jailor is not one which an amateur mjght wish for, but Mr.Percy Evans accepted it and made it really one of the principal parts, if not the principal part, as it was the only role in which good character acting was needed.Mr.Evans compares very favorauly with many professionals who have lately been geen in this city.Professor A.G.McGurk supplied an excellent orchestra.It is to be hoped that the General Hospital will derive a good financial benefit.McLennan Company To-Night.The opening concert of the Royal Edinburg Concert Company takes place in the Queens Hall this evening.Mr.Wm.McLennan to whom Montrealers will be indebted for bringing this fins company to the city needs no introduction here as he was for years a resident of the city and on frequent occasions delighted Scotchmen with his national dances.As a solo dancer and pipe player he has won many honors in the Old World as well in the New and has become known as the most graceful extant.Mr.McLennan\u2019s company are highly spoken of and with the combined forces, a fine entertainment must necessarily be the result, Of the appearance in New York of the company an exchange says : \u201cScottish enthusiasm rose to a great altitude over the very entertaining features of the program presented by McLennan's Royal Edinburg Concer: Company.The gongs and dances of bonny Scotland were given with much more than ordinary artistic effect.\u201d PERSONAL MENTION, Mr E Tiffin, of St John, N B, is among the guests atthe Windsor.Mr E E Rand, of Vancouver, B C, is stopping at the

Our Citizens.WHAT MR, M'SHANE SAID IN 1889.News from Dr.Guerin\u2014City Hall Items\u2014An Explanation from Alderman Rolland.On Jan.10, 1889, a large gathering of citizens took place in the Council Chamber to express their opinion as to who should be mayor for the coming term.Senator Drummond proposed Ald.J.Grenier, and Mr.Desjardins, M.P.seconded the nomination.Both gentlagen made speeches and were followed by Hon.Jas, McShane, who in the course of his address said :\u2014 \u201c1t has been for years in our city a tacit understanding that an Irishman should have his turn and be elected mayor.Ihave claimed and now claim that right and I am proud to say, and to the credit of Montreal, that they admit our claim (applause), And so long as such a state of things exist in our city I must and will stand up for our rights, (Cheers.) But I do hope that the day will soon come when such feeling on the nationality question will ba only a record of the past, and that men will be chosen for office solely on their merit and worth, and that we wil: be all able to meet on ons common platform as Canadians, (Cheers.) Aldermen Grenier said to a friend of mine yesterday that James McShane had often asked him (Mr, Grenier) to come out as mayor and that I had had always pro- miged bim my support.This statement is perfectly correct.This promise was given; I cannot now recall it.c From my boyhood up to this hour I have ever kept my word and never yet repudiated a promise made.(Cheers.) I was born, raised and have grown up in Montreal (my native city) I am proud of it I have always striven to foster and command a broad and friendly feeling amongst all classes of race and religion.I will continue to do so the end of my life.(Cheers).The French Canadians here, and all over the Province, are my friends, One of them, Ald.Gre- pier, has eerved the city for 26 years faithfully and gaarded the finances well.He merits a reward, and I feel it to be my bounden duty in this special case to bow to the honor he so well earns and deserves, and now publicly state that I am not a candidate and will cheerfully sign his requisition\u2014 (great cheering)\u2014feeling sure that the next term all classes will unite in electing by acclamation an Irish mayor for Montreal.(Cries of \u201cYes, yes!\u201d) What Mr, What Mr, Grenier said on says now.1889, When, a few weeks ago, it became evident that Mr.McShane was going to run for the mayoralty, Mr.Grenier Was seen by a Herald reporter and reminded of a certain speach, an extract of which is given in the parallel column.He at once Grenier Jan, 10, \u201cHe would ever remember with gratitude and kindness his true friend Mr.McShane, who upon this and every other occasion was always a gentleman and a patriot.(Cheers).When bis term of office was over he would support Mr.McShane, who, he wus certain from paplied :\u2014 bis acts to-day, \u201cI mever said would be elected by that I would not acclamation.He opposa Mr.Mec- Shane, or that he would be elected by acclamation.What 1did say was that unless the citizens desired it, I would not run a third term, but I never said that I would support Mr.McShane.\u201d knew that Mr.Mc- Shane would make a good mayor.He was a clever and talented Irishman and in the person of Mr.McShaue the Irish people of Montreal would bave their turn.\u2019, Dr.Guerin is Coming Out.Dr.Guerin was seen at his residence last right by a Herald reporter, who asked him if he had made up his mind to come out as a candidate for the mayoralty.ome out ag a candidate?\u2019 he replied.\u201cWhy, 1 have already been formally nominated as a candidate for the mayoralty.My name was put forward and unanimously adopted at a public meeting which was held on last Thurs- dav night, at which between 40 and 50 trades unions were represented.\u201d \u201cBut you have not given a definite answer as to whether you will accept ihe nomination.\u201d \u201cNo.There is no neces3ity for hurry.I shall give my decision in a few days.1 am waiting until I have consuited with the principals who have been urging me to accept the nomination.I want to find out whether the labor organizations are unanimously in favor of my candidature.In the meantime the work of canvassing hss been and is going on actively throughout these organizations.\u201c3s the newspapers don\u2019t seem to be inclined to take the matter up, we shall enlighten the public through public meetings which will be held at the proper time, and at which we shall cordially invite Mr.Grenier and Mr.McShane to be present and tell us what they have to say.\u201d As a large portion of the public do not appear to have a remote idea of the status and functions of the Trades and Labor Council, the following information may not be without interest.The council is a sortgof parliament | which meets every fortnight; and it is composed of three delegates from each of the trades assemblies of the city.When they pass resolutions they have to report back to their unions upon the action taken by them as their representatives; and these different unions act in conformity with the desires of the Central Trade and Labor Council.Yesterday morning the commissioners for the expropriation of a strip of land ronting Logan\u2019s Park at Amherst held meeting, after which they went to in- pect the property.They will hold another meeting on Saturday.Ald.Rolland explained that the 1eeson he did not propose the motion at an earlier period of he session of the council was because he was obliged to wait for the text of it o be drawn up by the City Attorney.Mr.Roy, he added, is of opinion that if he dates are left in thecity will be clearly liable to actions for heavy damages.He will put his motion at the meeting of the council next Monday.The plan giving the limits of assessment for the opening of Pine-avenue is _teing drawn up in the draught office of the Road Department for the uss of the cogamissioners.lt is one of the largest lans ever made in the City Hall, its ength being about twelve feet.Full details of the streets, subdivisions, areas of lots, names of owners, &c., are set forth in it.Mayor Grenier on being questioned yesterday morning in reference to the motion brought forward at the close of the council meeting on Monday afternoon asking that the dates be left out of the bill now before the legislature providing for the amendment of the city charter, said he thoroughly approved of it.\u201cIt would be utterly impossible,\u201d he said, \u201cfor the city to carry through all the improvements propossd without making another loan.At present that is impracticable.The object of the motion was to prevent proprietors from suing for damages in ease the work is not done at the time specified.If the dates were taken out there would be no actions for damages.The city should spend only one million a year In permanent works of improvement.Twice that amount has been expended this year.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014>\u2014\u2014 TRINI TY CHURCH JUBILEE.Enjoyable Conversazione\u2014Remarkable Progress Made by the Congregation, The celebration of the Jubilee of Trinity Church was continued last night, when there was a most enjoyable con- versazione in the lecture hall.There was a very large attendance, including several of the oldest membars of Trinity Congregation, among these being Mr.Jobn Lovell and Mr.Edward Lusher.The clergyman present were Bisnop Bond, Canon Mills, Canon Ellegood, Archdeacon Evans, Rev.Dr.Norton, Rev.R.Dickson, and Rev.Mr.Ring.An excellent concert was given, in which the following took part, and acquitted themselves with much credit: Miss Jones, Miss Wray, Miss McFarlane, Miss Pen- nell, and Messrs.Warner and T.J.Barlow.The \u201c Serenaders\u201d also contributed to the enjoyment of the evening.The intervals in the program were utilized for the purpose of social intercourse.Refreshments were provided by the ladies of the congregation.The platform, which served as a stage, was elegantly fitted up as a drawing-room, and the effect produced by this novelty was exceedingly pretty.Two large portraits were exhibited, that of Rev.Mr.Wil- loughby, the first pastor of Trinity church on one side, and that of Canon Bancroft on the other.Short addresses were delivered by Canon Mills, Bishop Bond and Archdeacon Evans.Canon Mills referred with pardonable pride to the progress which the parish had made since he was appointed to take charge of it.As illustrating the great advances which had been made, he stated when he first appeared among them, eight and a half years ago, the congregation consisted of forty-two families and the communicants numbered eighteen.Now there are 445 families or individuals receiving direct pastoral attention, while the number of communicants is 567.(Applause.) Bishop Bond congratulated the congregation not only upon the very rapid growth which it had made, but upon the evert which they bad gathered to celebrate.He exorted them to continue to render to Canon Mills the valuable assistance they had given him in the past, and he hoped that many of those whom be saw present\u2014the younger portion of the parish\u2014would live to participate in the commemoration of the next jubilee.Archdeacon Evans offered Canon Mills and his congregation his warmest felicitations upon the auspicious occasion of the jubilee of their church, and he cordially echoed the hope expressed by Bishop Bond.ee - AT THE BAZAAR.Some Notes Gathered at Last Night's Fete\u2014 he Mayoralty Election.The Vics\u2019 bazaar continues to prove successful, and there is

erection of the buildings within the specified time.AN INTERESTING CASE the Recorder\u2014A Prisoner's Own Witness Coavicted Him, Lorenzo Wilson was tried before Judge Desnoyer yesterday afternoon on a charge of assault on a young girl.The latter testified that the prisoner was lying on the bed in her mother\u2019s room, and that she went in there and leaned over the end of the bed when he caught Lold of her and kissed her on the mouth against her will.The witness was cross- examined by the prisoner, who had no lawyer to defend him, and who after ward called the girl\u2019s mother for the defense.She testified to being in bed in the room when the assault was committed andpracticallycorroboratedthegirl\u2019sstory, claiming, however, that the whole master was only a joke and that 'Lorry\u201d had often kissed the girl before and nobody thought anything wrong about it.She and her hussand, however, were not on the best of terms, in fact she had left him to go with \u201cLorry\u201d and it was this bad husband who was causing the whole trouble in order to get even with his wife\u2019s friend.\u201cLorry\u201d then addressed the court and made a statement declaring his innocence of any intention of committing any assault.He had the greatest respsct for the family and would pe the first to resent an insult offered to any member of it.The girl's mother had been very kind to him, and he would not dream of offering injury to any child of hers.His Honor did not doubt that the mother had been very kind to him, but the assault had been proved with sufficient clearness he thought.So he would pronounce the prisoner guilty, but would suspend gentence until Friday, pending investigations that he proposed making.eee eee.SHE WAS GLAD TO Before SKIP.The Recorder Made It Warm for an Old Soiled Dove.Mrs.Gaudette, who keeps a small store on Lagauchetiere-street near Campeau, was brought before the Recorder yesterday afternoon on a charge of being the proprietress of a house of ill-fame, The deposition against her was made by a lady, who took oath that the prisoner had unlawfully enticed her husband away from his own home and had held out inducements which prevented his return; that the supposed cigar and tobacco shop was merely a blind, and that the establishment was really a house of ill- fame, kept in this guise that the unwary might be the more easily ensnared.A number of witnesses both for and against were examined, taking up the time of the court for nearly the whole afternoon.The prisoner was well defended, but ail the legal talent in the Province could not save a woman of this character when she bas Recorder De Montigny to deal with, and s0 soon as he saw sufficient evidence to convict, retribution followed swift and sure.Mrs.Gaudette was sentenced to three months\u2019 imprisonment, and an additional three months in default of $25 fine and costa of the action a8 brought.At the solicitation of the attorney for the defence, however, judz- ment was afterwards reversed and a fine of $60 substituted, with the condition coupled that the woman leave the town at once, and for good.To this she gladly consented, and is now said to be on her way across the line to the South.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 DEMONTIGNY V.JEANNOTTE, His Worship Replies to the Police Committee Chairman.The Recorder has kept his word.In his recent

Itthisis wrong I declare publicly that, as Chairman of the Police Committee, I will do the same thing without consulting the Chies of Police.1 will continue to save the Recorder many an opportunity of

duty to call upon your honorable council to say whether they sanction the acquittal of prisoners by the Chairman of the Police Committee before they are brought to trial, and if they intend to
