THE HERALD.Cork, Dec.21.\u2014In an interview here immediately after his arrival from America, Mr.Timothy Harringtoa said he was amazed at certain of the Healyites for attecking Mr.Parnell from a moral standroint, He could throw a strong light on their morality which would astonish the public.Mr, Davitt's opposition wag dishonest and unpatriotic, It was simply the expression of a long starding emnity.Quærnsrowx, Dec.21.\u2014A number of Parnellites who intended to greet Mr.Harrington here on bis arrival had arranged for a torchlight procegsion.They missed being present when the steamer arrived, but held à meeting soon afterward and were very demonstrative and cheering for Parnell and Harring ton and groans for Healy and other McCarthyites.The anfi-Parnellites gathered meanwhile and charged upon the Parnellites There was an ugly scrimmage, which resulted in favor of the attacking party.The torches of the Harrington admirers were thrown into the water and many persons were hurt.Mr.Harrington says the majority of Irish in America are supporters of Par- pell though many newspapers and politicians oppose bim.r.Harrington does not believe that Mr.Parnell will retire even

Short Hour Movement Knocked in the Hea l1\u2014Alsa- tian\u2019's Governor.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.LoxpoN, Dee.21.\u2014Timothy Harrington hastened on his arrival at Quesn- stow, to communicate with Mr.Parnell, and the latter is said to be much encouraged by the information which Mr.Harrington has brought from America.All day long the two parties have bean busy electioneering.Thepriests both thoseof the Ossory Diocese and othera from various parts of Ireland, spent the time outside of religious services in pressing their views on the people and urging the election of Sir John Pope Hen- nessey.Allusions mere or less direct were made from the pulpit tothe contest.Parnell expressed himself to-night as confident of victory.Much apprehension is felt of the effect that defeat might have upon his followers.Parnell was in much better form than on the: pravi- ous day and evidently was determined not to disgrace the close of the campaign by any abusive language.He addressed the people on their leaving church and made use of language more persuasive and dignified than at any previous gathering during the straggle.He reminded them of his many years\u2019 service and appealed to their sense of gratitude not to set the seal of condemnation om his life-long work for Ireland.The people listened patiently, though the priests protested against Mr.Parnell turning Sunday into a day of political strife and argument and advised their flocks to go tome.There was very little demonstration to-day and all seemed desirous of putting on their best behaviour The very absence of rows to-day is, however, considered unfavorable to Parnell, as sowing that the McCar- thyites are gaining sufficient hold to be.able to restore discipline and indications at this moment point to Hennessey\u2019s election.The most intense interest is felt in London as to the results.The Liberals believe from the despatches received lo-day, of which the foregoing is a resume, that the priests have done for Parnell and that he stands no chance.On the other hand betting men, who calculate to win, are willing to back Parnell at much lower odds than a week ago, but are not ready to bet even.Monday will undoubtedly be an exciting day both in London and Kilkenay.\u2018While the official result will not be known until Tueeday, it is thought that on Monday night a fair idea of tha result can be obtained.The Employees Downed, The movement of Scotch railroad employees is now hopeless of success.Ii received some encouragement from a certain number of stockholders, who believed that their property could be profitably managed with shorter hours and better pay for the men.Thess stockholders have, however, been bought out by the directors, so that now there is virtual unanimity of a positive end of the men\u2019s, demands which at this season of the year is believed to mean defeat of the men.Kitty in Paris.Mrs.O'Shea will spend the winter in Paris.There seems now to be no doubt that the difference in regard to her aunt's estate is in the way of amicable settlement, Mrs.O'Shea being in possession of ample funds from some source.Alsace-Lorrsine.Lonpon, Dec.21.\u2014The Emperor William is said to contemplate making Alsace-Lorraine a province not only separate but to & certain degree autonomous to be ruled by a prince of the House of Hohenzoltern.It is understood the matter is now discussed by the cabinet and a plan may not probably be submitted to the Reichstag which body under Imperial directions has control of conquered territory.CE Don\u2019t Want the Earth\u2014Chicago\u2019's Enough SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Dec.21.\u2014A very important legal case has come to light here in which the right and title toa large portion of the city of Chicago, in the vicinity of Hennepin Park, is questioned and claimed by heirs in Texas.Robert L.Summerlin, an attorney of thia city, bas worked up the case and will leave on Dec.25 for Chicago to push the claims of his client.The property claimed is valued at about $20,- 000,000.The story is quite romantic in its details and it has taken more than a year's work to complete the evidence.The history dates back to the time when the Pattowattamie Indians owned the present site of Chicago.A Colonel Hol- 1day married an old chief\u2019s daughter,who was possessed of much of this land.This Indian wife willed the property to a granddaughter, wife of C.R.Guisette, a prominent banker of Corpus Christi.This he:r died in 1864 without issue.The property had been in the hands of the attorneys who during the late war tangled the chain of titles and sold the property for taxes.Recently bowever: Attorney Summerlin learned of another branch of the family and located all of tbe heirs in this state.The chain of evidence is perfect and already attorneys in Chicago have been heard from who are willing to compromise liberally, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A Half Million Blaze,

HERALD.Paris, Dec.21.\u2014Eyraud has appealed to the Court of Cassation agaïnst the sentence of death pronounced upon him yesterday.A NICE MAN FOR A SMALL TEA PARTY.Such Is Parnells Summing Up of Justin McCarthy.SPECIAL TO THE BERALD, KiLgexny, Dec.21.\u2014Mr.Parnell and candidate Scully left Kilkenny st noon and drove in a closed carriage accompanied by a long procession of cars filled with their adherents to Clare, where they found a Hennessey meeting in pro- grees.They alighted near the church and began to organize a meeting in opposition to the Hennessey gathering, Father Walsh came out at once and informel Mr.Parnell that those were chapel grounds and no political meeting could be held in them.A farmer of the neighborhood disputed the assertion of the priest and aeclared that the lani was private property and tbat Mr.Parnel must speak there cr the people would make trouble.Seeing thatthe feeling of the crowd was in Paruelt\u2019s favor Fath r Walsh retired tcyether with Sir Thomas Esmond, M.P., and some others of Ia nessey\u2019s followers.Mr.Parn:Il than addressed the meeting.He said thous he did not have the support of all th clergy be had no harsh words for auy one and hoped thatthe people wotli listen to the priests teverently yet they should remember that as laymen they could not admit the priests to absolute rule in matters of elections.Mr.Parnell denounced his opponents as traitorous mutineers, who were gailty of engulfing the party in a sea of trouble at the critical moment when the shores of victory had been in sight.He al- Juded feelingly to his political career, and appealed to his hearers to say whether he had ever done any wrong to the Nationalist party, (eres of \u201cno,\u201d \u201cno.\u201d ° From Clare the Parnell party rode to Johrswell.While Mr.Scuily was speaking.Timotby Harrington appeared on the scene and received an enthusiastic welcome.He made a speech in which he said his colleagues in America were Jed astray by messages received from tbis side which gave a distorted impression of the situation.Mr.Parnell also spoke.He reminded the electors that they were fighting English state craft which sought to grasp every inch of ground that Irishmen surrendered.He appealed to them to support him and not leave Ireland to tue incapables who were trying to step into his shoes.His opponents had elected an amiable good Poarted soul as their leader (Mr.McCarthy), who wWoald figure at a tea party, but who would cut a ridiculous figure as the leader of a political party.They bad also elected a committee of eight other men.He knew then all and he could heartily say that if he thought Ireland\u2019s destiny would be safe in their bands he would bave cheerfully stepped aside, but he knew that it would have been impossible for the causé to win and prosper under them.He had faith in Kilkenny\u2019s decision but if the result was unfavorable he would not be down hearted, but wold hold aloft the tlag until every constituency in Ivelur aad spoken.Mr.Parnell returned to Kilkenny this evening after a hard day\u2019s work in mak- Ing 8pzecbes and rallying his adherents throughout the district, Details of the Championship Race, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.SAN Francisco, Dec 21.\u2014Sydney papers 1eceived yes\u2018erday, give the details of Mclean\u2019s victery over Stanbury on Nov.17, on the Parametta course where scarcely a month ago McLeun defeated Kempt and became the champion oarsman of the world.1t seems that Stan- bury was heavily backed and maintained a lead and held the race.At one time, odds of 10 to 1 were freely offered on him, but when half way over the course Stanbury appeared suddenly to give out.McLean spurted and paseed him, and when off Tennyson, tanbury then twenty lengthg behind, turped and rowed to his sheds abandoning the contest to the great disgust of his backers.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014_ The Dead Eoclesiastic, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, Toronto, Dec.21.\u2014In all the Catholic churches in the city to-day sorrowing al- Tusions were made to the death of Very Rev.Father Laurent, Vicar General.In St.Michael\u2019s Cathedral this morning Archbishop Walsh referred to the personal loss be had sustained and the loss the church has suffered, He said Father : Laurent was the most exemplary priest he ever knew, Masses were chanted for the repose of Father Laurent\u2019s soul in all the churches.The funeral will take place from St, Michael's Cathedral on Tuesday.retreats Patillo Didn\u2019t Do It, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, Toroxro,

sentences of the villagers of Heas, Shanghai, China, who were concerned in the murder of fourteen salt inspectors last March.These salt inspectors made a raid en a village.They wore no uniforms and the villagers mistook them for pirates and attacked and overpowered them.When the villagers discovered they had attacked Government officers they became frightened at the severe punishment they would receive and decided to kill the inypsctors.The men were carried to their boats and despite their entreaties were burned together with their craft.The chief criminal suicided before tne day of his execution arrived.Four were strangled and four others escaped with heavy fines.A Big Mining Company Organized.Hl SPECIAI TO THE HERALD- Porr Huron, Mich., Dec.21.\u2014The Cumberland Plateau Mining

offices will be here, NO YIELDING | o JO ENGLISH DICTATION.That is What Parnell Declares to be His Last and Ouly Decision.IS M'CARTHY A POLITICAL CRANK?A Lively Time in Kilkenny\u2014 Placards Full of Art and Argument.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Lonpon.Dec.20.\u2014Kilkenny is fairly covered with flaming political placards, full of wit, of terée argument and it must be added in many cases of indecency.The coarse allusions which have characterized the campaign on the part of the anti-Parneilites tind frequent repetition in red and black on the dead - walle,ard crowds of men and boya gather to read and laugh at them.Occasionally an officer of the police pushes hig way throogh the crowd, and after scanning a particularly offensive poster turns to a subordina.e and orders it to be taken down.Sometimes a crowd of angry Parpeilites resolve themselves into & committee of censorship, and without waiting for the judgment of the official pcunce up.n the offending placard, and strew ite fr.gments into the gutter.Thia is dope witii more impunity from the fact thatin tbe rown the population is made np of Parnes adherents in great majority, whatever the complexion of the rural part of the district may be.The excitement over the de- cieion of Monday is intense.The place is in an uproar with parades and meetings, torches, bands, flreworke and every - variety of political demonstration.The two men who receive the greatest amount of abuse from the Parnellites are Hennessey and Healy.Tie latter will be lucky if he gets out of the district with a whole skin.The Government is taking great precantions against a general riot to-morrow or Monday.Davitt and Tanner have organized what they call a \u201c Flying Brigade.\u201d With a few good speakers and god fighters, they propose to follow Parnell wherever he goes Sunday and Monday and organize opposition meetings wherever he speaks.It can easily be judged whether or not this mode of campaigning is likely to promote peace and gnod will among the excited constituents.KirkENNY, Dec, 20.\u2014Mr.Parnell, speaking at a large meeting of his supporters to-day, denied the statement that the substance thrown at him in Castle Comer was flour.It was at least partly composed of lime.Mr.Parnell declared that he would allow no combination to drive him from the perform- ancea of his duty to Iraland.He would never yirld to English dictation.He ridiculed Mr.McCarthy as a political crank and there was not two ounces of steel in McCarthy's whole body.The question at issue was whether Ireland was to take her politics from the English or the Irish.Irelant ought not to yield her rights for the sake of conciliating the old woman and the humbugs who were airing their virtue throughout th: country.The whole policy of his opponents consisted in circulating lies about a miserable #candal.They had nothing to stand by but filth, The pure waters of public opinion would, he believed, sweep that filth away.His own policy was to sim at obtaining an Irish parliament which would be a genuine legislative body\u2014free from English pub- 11 eopinion and with power to minister to Igish needs and give Ireland a place emong the nations.Parnell\u2019s Recriminations, KrrxEnnY, Dec.21.\u2014Parnell spoke to a Jarge meeting here to-night, and in the course of bis remarks said that Mr.Davitt had been audacious enough to accuse him of appealing to the Fenian sentiment.He added: \u201cI appealed only to the Irish race not to any section.I bave never departed from the pledge I made at Cork in 1880.Unlike the jackdaw Davitt, I was not a phy- gical force man in 1880 to desert in 1881.I did not join the league in 1874 to eave it in 1883, When I am taunted with being a hillside man, I tell Mr.Davitt that I am what I am, because I am known to be an honest, unchanging Irishman,\u201d peer A Train Held Up.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.OLNEY, Ill, Dec.21.\u2014A daring robbery took place on the Peoris, Decatur & Evansville Railroad freight train which passed up at 2.30 this morning.At the water tank a mile south of this city the train was cut in two and the engine moved ahead to take water.While the caboose was standing still two men, both masked, entered it and fired two revolver shots over the heads of Conduec- tor Hampton and his brakeman and cempelled them to throw up their hands while one of the robbers robbed

I've fixed it at 7 t.\u201d Thus cried Lieut.Tom Jones, U.S.A., bounding into my room in his usnal hop- skip-and-jump style, and causing thereby a deep gash in both the chins refiect- «ed in the cracked shaving glass of my bachelor lodgings.+I rather think you have,\u201d I responded, half savagely, as I mopped my bleeding feature with a piece of blotting paper\u2014 \u201cI rather think you have; but what in \u2018the world have wou fixed, besides my thin?\" \u201cQh, bother your bleeding! Just listen: I've borrowed the major's gray and the surgeons \u2018Jalap,\u201d done Uncle Bob out of his double sleigh, and we'll drive over to Shadynook and spend Christmas.Hurrah!\u201d And Lieut.Tom Jones, U.S.Boomerangs, spun round my room as if he had just been promoted to the first corps of the \u2018Black Crook.\u201d I looked at him until he regained a pose on the back of my armchair, with his feet on the cushion.Then 1 said gravely\u2014the tone was meant to convey the most.crushing sarcasm: \u201cSlicer\u2019s Jalap and the major\u2019s gray?\u201d \u201cCertainly-\u2014why not?\u201d \u201cWhy not?Because, firstly, the gray never was in traces in his life; secondly, because the sorrel never would go in double harness, you know.\u201d \u201cYes, I know.But, then, they're both old enough to begin; so come, old fellow, pack your traps.I'll give the ponies a whirl down the road to keep \u2019em quiet and use em to the bells.Hurry; I'll be back before you say \u2018Jack Robinson!\u201d \" Istared at my friend.to see if he was really in carnest before I replied: \u201cTom Jones, do I look like a lunatic?Have you any reason to justify believing me a fit subject for the padded room?My dear boy,\u201d I added gently, \u201c\u201cmy neck is far too valuable tomy country torisk breaking it for the sake of breaking old Slicer\u2019s sorrel and your uncle's sleigh.\u201d \u201cWhy, they're at the door now\u2014just look at \u2019em,\u201d responded the lieutenant, walking to the window.\u201c\u201cThey\u2019re as quiet as a pair of lambs.The sorrel has only one leg over the pole, and the sergeant and my orderly can hold the gray\u2019s bead pearly still! Come! throw some things into a valise and be ready by the time I get back.\u201d I threw myself on the sofa and stretched out my comfortable slippers to the sea coal fire by way of reply.\u201cCan't do it, Tom.I'm too valuable a-member of society to think of suicide at present.\u201d \u201cNonsense! We'll haveno end of a jolly time at Belton\u2019s\u2014raise the neigh- borhood\u2014skate on the pond\u2014make floods of eggnogg\u2014shock the old 'un\u2014 ard have a glorious german to wind up.\u201d I shook my head.\u201cCan't do it, T.Jones.Even did I want to ruin my life insurance people I've engagements at home I cannot break,\u201d and I looked very important as I dwelt on this announcement.\u2018You see, I lead the choir for their Christmas practice to-night; Fve been pledged for a month for my Christmas dinner at the mayor\u2019s, and I\u2014ahem\u2014I skate Miss Bettie on the pond this after\u201d \u2014 \u201cOh, what a head I have!\u201d Tom broke nm.\u201cDidn\u2019t Imention that?Uncle Bob says Bet's to go with us, and she says you must be sure to come.And mind, you are totell him the horses are dog © Bally! quiet.Bet :swears he\u2019d never believe me.\u201d Miss Bettie-was going! Before that young lieutenant bad half fmished his sentence I was at the window gazing at those horses with an interest no quadrupeds ever possessed for me before.The sorrel had fallen in his effort to get his leg back over the pole, the grizzly old sergeant was sitting composedly on his head, blowing huge clouds from his pipe, while the orderly unbuckled the traces.The gray amused himself meanwhile by snapping viciously atthe po who held him, and with every snap © [ \u201cBut ! hardly thini* \u2014\u2014 \u201cA311 certainly know.Come! Beta cre .y to go, and says she depends on yon t, persuade Uncle Bob the horses are quiet.\u201d \u201cMiss Bettiedoes?\u201d Ihesitated.There was a lump in my throat and a singing in my ears; I was deucedly afraid of the mad beasts myself, but then she wanted to go, so I added: \u201cWell, perhaps after all they may be a little quieter soon.And, Tom, you do\u2014ah\u2014really think them safe?\u201d \u201cCertainly I do, and Bet does, too.She\u2019s not a bit afraid.\u201d That decided me.\u201cTom Jones\u201d\u2014I spoke with deep solemnity, Iknew that moment what they felt who saw the tumbril ready to bear them to the hungry knife of the first revolution\u2014\u201cTom Jones, I will go, of course.But, Tom, pray do not use that horrid abbreviation of your cousin's name.There are some subjects too sacred for the profanation of slangy condensation, and your cousin's name is\u201d\u2014\u2014 \u201cBully! You'll go then?\u201d interrupted the irrepressible Boomerang.\u201cI'll wheel \u2019em round the block and bring \u2019em in cool, you\u2014Bet.\u201d He bounded down the stairs, sprang into the sleigh, seized the reins, and, as the men jumped from the horses\u2019 heads, was off with a flurry of snow and a hurrah from the crowd.I am not a dab at the classics, so I will not say how, having plunged like Cur- tius into this gaping sleigh ride, I now sat like Marius, amid the ruins of my wardrobe.But I did tumble all its contents into the middle of the floor and then sat among them, hopeless of cramming into my small valise half enough for this all important Xmas visit! But she wanted to go! I was to risk my neck for her sake\u2014by her side.Delicious thought! So just as the bells again jingled at the door I jumped upon my distended portmanteau, sprung the lock, and answered Tom with a yell as wild as his own.Now, perhaps I should explain that Tom Jones and Thad always been chums.Residents of the same village and children of intimate friends, we had thumbed the same algpbra, robbed the same orchards and been flogged by the same pédagogue.In fact, we had never been two weeks apart until his appointment to West Point, five years before, had separated us.Tom's pérsevering industry in running bounds to \u2018\u2018Cozzens,\u201d and his assiduous course of \u201cBenny Havens,\u201d had scarcely been thoroughly rewarded, for his graduation\u2014third in his class counting from the bottom\u2014made him a brevet second lieutenant in the United States Boomerangs.It had found me a dignified but patient lawyer in the incipient metropolis of Piketon.Happy chance had thrown Tom at the arsenal near by, and had introduced his chosen friend to the family circle of his Uncle Blythe.There I soon became ami de maison.Mayor Blythe\u2014he was the revered chief magistrate of Piketon\u2014was a brother lawyer, and a man of high social and literary renown.He had a capitally chosen library, a warm heart, a celebrated cook and a rare assortment of such wines! And then\u2014hem!\u2014like Jephthah of old, he had \u201c\u2018one fair daughter and no more.\u201d But such a daughter! Bettie Blythe was just turned of 19, and the most perfect mold of female form divine.Of medium height, just plump enough for perfection of rounded outline, and with the tiniest models of feet and hands that ever fell to the lot of woman, her face was still her chiefest charm, Not regularly beautiful, with scarce a feature in it that would have been pronounced fine under critical analysis, there was yet an indescribable witchery in that face, orin the character reflected by it, that bound me hand and foot from the first week I knew her.Those rich, dark oval lines, with heavy bands of glossy hair, seemed to command, rather than ask, a second look.And who could look twice and forget?There was a merry devil in her eye\u2014 large, languid and black as sloe\u2014that drew a timid man\u2019s heart right up into his throat and kept it kicking there with forty-horse power.And then the face was but an index of the sprightly but sound and well stored mind her father had seduously cultivated during a long widowerhood.And the steady, tender gleam that sometimes replaced the mris- have been drawn from the well spring of a pure heart.With the first month of our acquaintance I began to believe I cared for Bettie Blythe; with the second I believed I I had told her I adored ber wildly; and for three subsequent ones had come, of a repetition.she had at first told me gravely\u2014the rest of the face demure, while the eyes danced a very witches\u2019 dance to the tune of suppressed merriment\u2014that, though we were very excellent friends, we were still almost strangers.I could only acknowledge the truth of what she said, sol prayed for forgiveness and for hope.She gave the pardon, the pardon gave the hope, and I wandered on in a fool's paradise.But though we became better and better friends, though she let me meander unchecked through the most extensive fields of rhapsody and lay the tallest flowers of sentiment at her feet, yet the first outright word I spoke carried up the taper forefinger in arch warning, and the ripe lips formed the one word, \u2018Remember!\u201d flirting with me.There was something made a vain lange with his heels at | too genuine, too womanly, about her the orderly\u2019s fatigue cap, theilatter dodg- | fing beantifully as ever did a practiced | &parrer before a big bruiser.The vie whole being for that.She conld never stoop, 1 said to myself for comfort, to a little triumph in the not encouraging.They certainly misery of the heart sho knew to be hers jwere hardly the pair te risk a young in all honesty and ardor.No! Either dy's\u2014or my own\u2014neck with, even She was trying to make a real \u201cfriend\u201d Fong Tom was famous throughout his corps as a perfect Rarey.of me, or\u2014delicions ideal\u2014she was beginning to love me without admitting it -chievous twinkle in those eyes could only loved her, and with the third I knew | it for a certainty.On the fourth month ! again and again, to the very threshold Gentle and womanly, | Icould not believe Bettie Blythe was THE MONTREAL HERALD.MONDAY.D2JSMBER that \u201cmute conversy cf kindred souls,\u201d and Tom Jones apparenily syui::aihized with me moet completely.Bettio and he were fast friends, und Mayor Blythe permitted her tc go anywhere under protection of \u201cCousin Tom,\u201d in whom he placed unbounded confidence.During the burning days of that August many a charming picnic had we in the grand old woods about Piketon; in the mellow cvenings of autumn many a never to be forgotten mail on the little mirror of a lake.And what teas were those on the old veranda, with the soft breeze sighing through the vines in sympathy with the beatings of my heart, and the light just mdecided enough for me to imagine any expression in her face that best suited my ardent longings! Later, when the early snows began to fall, how merry were those sleigh rides in the mayor's sober family sleigh, drawn by the sober family horse, Tom always acting Jehu! And when the icier breath of winter blew over the little lake, sheeting it with a surface glassy smooth, I had tenderly sirapped the tiny skate thong round that ravishingly turned ankle\u2014had held the taper fingers in mine as we glided in swift circles over its cold bosom.As! have said, Tom was always with us on these jaunts; but we were a partie car- ree and mindful of the philosophy as to what constitutes \u201ccompany\u201d and what a .\u201ccrowd.\u201d Anna Belton was ever Tom\u2019s companion.A quiet, fair haired, sensitive mouse of a blonde, she was the direct antipode in all things of her sworn ally, Bettie, under whose fostering protection she would nestle confidingly as though wo harm could reach her there.She was sole heiress and sole companion at her splendid residence, ¢\u2018Shady- nook,\u201d of a very deal hut Argus eyed grandaunt.Unmated .crself for the full allotment of the human span, the senior Mises Belton had small confidence in the taste or honor of the sterner sex.| She jealously watched the every movement of her niece, religiously believing that each man who set his eye upon her fragile form used it but as a medium through which to cast unholy glances at the estate\u2014some ten miles back of Pike- ton\u2014whose exponent she was.But the home of the spinster had no great charms for her heiress unless brightened by the presence of her stronger friend and ally; so, when Bettie could not be spared from her household gods, it was great comfort to quiet little Anna to sit under these also, and to stay there meekly so long as Bettie could alternately cajole or coerce the deaf spinster into permitting.But that ancient and unwinking Cerberus had carefully reconnoitered the surroundings of the mayoralty.She had long since concluded that I was the property of the lady of the house, and Tom, being only a piece of live furniture, like the cat, was not to be counted.So little Anna's last visit had been allowed to run into months.She could skate well, for all her fragility, and her taste and touch in music were both delicate but decided.So, after all, we made her usetul, though I felt compunctious twinges when I reflected how heavy on hand she must be to poor Tom; for, besides all other reasons, it was an understood thing among us that Miss Belton was engaged.If not formally contract- * ed to him she was so far committed toa certain Mr.Goldwin as to make that consummation a mere matter of time.Not a very enticing person was Mr.Goldwin, 6G0'in years and money grub in nature, but\u2014as the senior Miss Bel- ton was wont to say grimly\u2014if not a brilliant man, he was at least a safe one.Twenty thousand a year was his allotment of this world\u2019s goods, and the very soul of the spinster swelled within her when she reflected what that would do for \u2018\u2018Shadynook.\u201d Yielding in all things, the white mouse appeared to accept her fate in this with perfect composure, but she shrunk with peculiar sensitiveness from aay allusion to it by one of us.So, of course, none was ever made; but I-\u2014and I was gure Tom as well\u2014looked upon her as one of the least interesting of the victims to the Moloch of convenance, Hence I fully appreciated the unselfish friendship that caused him to become a martyr to her stupidity, that I might be left tete-a-tete with his glorious cousin.One night when our bachelor pipes\u2014or : panch\u2014had been stronger than usual I said words to that effect.der was characteristic.He thrust his tongue into his cheek, shut one eye very slowly, and nicking my glass with his said, \u201cHere's good luck, and bad \u2019cess : to old Goldwin!\u201d Verily, we need never leave our own circle for evidences of the mysteries of Nature's complex mechanism, and what very odd errors we make in our estimate of them sometimes! Atdength its heiress had been imperatively called back to \u2018\u2018Shadynook.\u201d The unmated Argus would have her return for its Xmas dismalness, and when that spinster foot was once put down there it stayed.Exacting the promise of a speedy visit from Bettie, before Xmas if possible, and indulging in many mysterious whispers and a perfect fusillade of kisses that set me on pins and needles of envy, the white-mousey one wept herself into her sleigh and ed out into the snowy avenue.Tom and I, as members of Bettie\u2019s personal staff, had, of course, been included in the invitation to \u2018\u2018Shady- nook,\u201d but no time was decided in our council, and weeks rolled by with no definite plans about it.Happy weeks they were to me\u2014full of sunshine, with only such flecks of shadow as made me enjoy the more.I basked in the stiles of the only woman I had ever reall cared for, and, whether they were all for me or not, I was inanely happy, For there's nothing half 20 sweet in lif As Love's young dream.CHAPTER IL OVER THE SNOW.Holiday week had set in heavy and threatening.It had opened with a promise of snow, and had closed with its veri- | \u201cBy George!\u201d I half solidoquized, \u201cI to herself.I was willing to take the fication so fast and furious that by [don\u2019t think she'd bo safe behind thase devils,\u201d chances of the first so long as I saw a possibility of the second.And i Vv \u201cBosh!

MR.CARLING ON RECIPROCITY.At the agricultural mesting in Stan.stead last week Mr.Carling, the Minister of Agriculture, spoke of reciprocity with the states in terms of commendation, but said that both parties in Canada had tried and had failed to obtain it.This is hardly a fair way of putting it.Mr.George Brown, an emiuent Reformer: tried it and failed, and Sir Charles Tup- per informed the House of Commons that he had made an offer of unrestricted reciprocity to President Cleveland\u2019s Cabinet.Fifteen or sixteen years have elapsed since Mr.Brown visitel Washington on his mission, and a great many tbiazs have happened since.To argue that because Mr.Brown could not obtain reciprocity in 1874 or 75, therefore it ig impossible to obtain it now, would be as ridiculous as saying that because Sir John Macdonald was in favor of reciprocity in 1878 therefore he is go in 1890.Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s offer was more recent, but even since its date several polisical earthquakes have occurred and men\u2019s minds change with occasion as Mr.Chapleau and apparently Mr.Carling also could certify.But Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s failure is of no value as a fact from which to make deductions.It was made to a democratic government while the Republican party held a majority in the Senate, with a Presidential election at hand.It would have been useless at that moment discussing the matter.Mr.Carling knows that very well.Even at the present time a proposition of the kind emanating from Sir Jobn Macdonald\u2019s government might not secure the attention which on the face of it it deserved.Why not?Because the Americans do not believe in the present government\u2019sibona fides on this question.They would naturally suppose that any offer of the kind coming from Sir John Macdonald was merely a political move,to appease some rebellious section of his party that wanted reciprocity, and they would not believe that there was any honest intention of arranging the matter on a basis to which any American Government could consent.Would their doubts be improper?Sir John\u2019s government, his supporters in Parliament, and bis press are constant in their opposition to reciprocity with the United States.In the South Victoria election, which has just been held, two of Sir John\u2019s colleagues and several of his supporters stumped the riding against reciprocity, and the organs of the party have taken heart to denounce it with greater vigor than ever.American statesmen are not gimpletons, nor are they desirous of courting a rebuff at 8ir John's hands.It «ould be very extraordinary if, in the ace of what must be reported to them, hey will talk about the matter at all so eng as Sir John Macdonald remains in power.Mr.Carling, if correctly reported, was scarcely ingenuousin putting the matter as he did.It might have been understood, by those who did pot know better, that reciprocity would be proposed if it was likely to be accepted, whereas he knows that his leader and those who THE MONTREAL HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER ?2.1890 posed to it.Mr.Colby, Mr.Tupper, Mr.Haggart, Mr.Bowell and Sir John himself are seeking support on the ground that they are opposed to reciprocity with the States, and to the Liberal party because of its desire for such an arrangement.It is satisfactery, however, to find that Mr.Carling has not been altogether weaned from his earlier habits.He admitted that reciprocity was desirable, and so it may be that he and Mr.Chap- leau will vote for Sir Richard Cartwright\u2019s motion when he again moves it.We confess, however, that we have doubts.PROROGATION DRAWING NEAR.We understand there is a probability that the Local Legislature will be pro- roguad on Wednesday, the legislative business being well adyanced.The session opened on Nov.5, and if it closes on Wednesday, will have occupied exactly seven wevks.Even if it should be prolonged ancther week, or even & fortnight, it will still be a comparatively short session.And yet a large amount of public business has been transacted.There were no arrears of business in the public departments, the Government had all their measures ready for presentation within a few days of the opening, and though all aecessary scops was given for the examination and discussion of Govera- ment bill, they were promptly forwar i- ed through the regular stages.Th» Premier kept his Parliamentary following well in hand, and this had th» effect of keeping the ma>mhers down clos) to business.There were some important debates, but they were not unduly prolonged.Outside of a few members, the Opposition showed very little disposition to be obstructive, and on the whole gave praigeworthy attention to business.At the same time, as was their duty, they maintaired a vigilant watch and made some fierce attacks on the Government.In these encounters they invariably came off second best.On all essential points the policy of the Government proved practically unassailable, and their measures were such as could stand the fullest investigation and criticiam.Premier Mercier has proved himself an able and sagacious leader, his Cabinat colleagues have demonstrated beyond question their fitness for the positions they occupy; while the Government's parliamentary following show that they have every confidence ia their lead- ord and thus reflect the coa- fidence which the country reposed in Premier Mercier and his Cabinet at the last general election.We shall ba very much surprised indeel, judging from the past, if the Government does anything to necessitate the withdrawal of that confidence.The Province is t> be congratulated on having an ad ministration composed of men of ability, possessed of liberal and progressive views and exhibiting on all occasions the courage of their convictions.Sustained by a compact majority in the House and in the constituencies they can afford to place the interests of the people and of the Province above the contandings and clamor of faction, and mete out even- banded justice to all irrespective of class, creed or nationality.\u2014 WHERE HAS THAT SURPLUS GONE?It is well understood that the mission to Eugland of Mr.Courtney, Deputy Minister of Finance, is to arrange another loan, the Government not having yet exhausted the borrowing powers given them by Parliament in 1838.The amount of the loan to be arranged has not transpired, but it is understood that it will not be less than five millon dollars.The last loan of £4,000 000 was effected in 1888, and in the session of 1889 Finance Minister Foster predicted that there would be no necessity fur negotiating any further loans far some years to come.He said : Taking for granted that the condition of the country during the three years to com: shallbe equally prosperous with its condition to-day, should no extraordinary events arise to cause extraordinary expenses, for the three years ending on June 33, 1892, we ought to meet our capital engagements, pay :what we , have to pay inthe running expenses oftha country, and add not one dollar to the net debt of the country, What I mean is this, ifI have not made myself clear, that couat- ing in the sinking fund investment, which is laid up as against gross debt, we ought in the next three years to meet all our capital engagements to the amount I have mentioned ($12,789,789) and at the end of that time have no greater debt than we shall have on Jaly 1, 1889; and this is estimated on the basis of the tariff which we have to-day, without contemplating any increase in the tax rate.After 1892, with equal prosperity, with an increased population, and with consequently increased contributions to the revenue, on the same rate of tariff, I believe that, unless extraordinary events occur which call for extraordinary expenditure, this country ought to goon for a series of years without any increase of debt at all, providing for necessary capital expenditure and the services af the country out of the revenues which come in to make up the consolidated revenue of the country.This was accepted with a good deal of satisfaction by Parliament and the country as an announcement that a halt was to be called in the increase of debt, and tbat there was to be no more borrowing.Unfortunately these rose-colored anticipations have not been borne out by results.The debt keeps creeping up, the tariff has been materially increased and the Deputy Finance Minister is off to London on a borrowing expedition before one-half of Mr.Foster's three years has expired.Of course it is given out that the money to be borrowed is to replace withdrawals from the savings\u2019 banks.But where does the surplus come in?If thers is a surplus\u2014and a large surplus was claimed for the last fiscal year\u2014why should it not be applied to meet withdrawals from savings\u2019 banks, and obviate the necessity of further additions to the debt by borrowing?The borrowing expedition proves that last year\u2019s surplus is a very m ythical affair, was simply a personal one between two | control the party are unequivocally op- ¥ AMUSEMENTS OF THE DAY.First Appearance of Faust at the Academy To-night.So much

fiscal system, if they are to contro] our customs revenues, the situation will quickly change from one of nominal to real political union,\u201d Liberals do not propose to;allow the Americans to do that.The Gazetts has got Sir John\u2019s old scheme in its head, when he offered to assimilate the customs and excise laws of the two countries ; to make an allowance for the internal wsr taxes paid by the American farmer on some of the necessaries and conveniences of labor, but since abol- shed ; to deepen the canals and to do almost anything else the Americans wanted done.The Old Man has always displayed a weakness for permitting Congress to regulate our tariff.Only the other day he made haste to repeal the export duty on logs, leaving an infant industry strangled in the cradle, in obë- dience to Mr.McKinley\u2019s threat to exact the old duty of $2 on sawn white pine.Unrestricted reciprocity can and wiil ba brought about without any humiliation on the part of Canada.Smoke Noisy Boys

Will Give a Great Big Majority for the GREAT AND ONLY \u201cPEOPLE'S JIMMY.\u201d Mr.McShane's Popularity Is Growing Every Day\u2014News From All Over the City.During the past few days a Herald reporter has been paying a round of visits to the different wards of the city with a view to ascertaining the prevalent state of opinion in regard to the approaching municipal elections.St.Jean Baptiste Ward was the first visited.Enquiries elicited such hearty expressions of good will toward Ald.Ger- mein that his re-slection may safely be predicted.As to the mayoralty, several prominent workingmen were interviewed whose positions enable them to form an accurate estimate of the force and diree tion of the sentiments of the laborin : classee.Mr.McShane is the popula: candidate amongst them.They are op pesed to any man occupying the post of chief magistrate of the city for a third term ; and they are all\u2014especially those of French-Canadian nationality\u2014out- spoken in their condemnation of the violation by Mr.Grenier of the promise which he made in public that he would not seek re-election.In St.James Ward Ald.Hurteau is firmly entrenched in the affections of the electorate.There is no room for doubt as to his re-election.Mr.Granier, it will be remembered, once represented this ward in the city council, and was obliged to retire on account of the unpopalarity that his actions had created among the working classes.\u201cOne thing is certain,\u201d gaid a prominent merchant; \u201c MraGran- jer will not get a majority in this ward.\u201d Tnere is a decidedly strong feeling 1h St.Louis Ward in favor of Ald.A.Du- buc for the city council and Mr.Mc-.Shane for mayor.\u201cWe object to a third term,\u201d said a well-known Canadian shopkeeper.\u201cThe time is now come when an Irishman should have his term,and I believe that Mr.McShane will be elscted.He is the choice of the Irish people and be is therefore our choice.\u201d A builder who is a large employer of labor gave it as his opinion that Mr.McShane being a man of energy and enterprize would make a much better mayor than Mr.Grenier.\u201cHe is well liked by the French-Canadians of this ward,\u2019 \u2019said he, \u201cgnd they will make known to him ibeir preferences in a practical manner on polling day.\u201d From the conversations which the ra- porter bad with a large number of electors in St.Mary\u2019s ward, it would seem that Ald.Robert is very popular both amongst the French-Canadians and the old cuuntry element, and that his seat in the council chamber is assured to him for #8 many terms as he wishes.\u201c Mr.McShane will have a majority of 3000,\u201d said Ald.Martineau.In making this statement he voiced the opinions of by far the largest proportion of electors in the ward, if the assertions made by the prominent persons to whom the reporter addressed himself are to be taken as a criterion.That Ald.Prefontaine will have à walk over in Hoebclaga is pretty generally conceded.Those who were spoken to were unanimous in bearing witness to the valuable services which he has rendered to the ward, On another pin.they wera not less in accord in their views, and that was that Mr.McShane will pol! a considerable majority of the votes cast in the ward on election day for the mayoral candidates.Mr.Patrick Raf ferty said that, in company with Mr.Demers, he had handed to Mr.Mc3hane a requisition signed by 350 voters ia the ha out of a total number of about 0.The preferences of the electors appeared to be equally divided in the East ward hetween both the candidates who seek the honor of representing them in the City Council.Although Mr.Grenier once represented the ward, Mr.McShane received from it & very numerously signed requisition, which, taken ï1 connection with the statements made by several of the leading citizens in this municipal division to The Herald representative, may be construed as indicating that the \u201cPeople\u2019s Jimmy\u201d is their favorite candidate for mayor.So far Ald.Rainville has met with no opposition in the Centre ward, and it is not likely that he will encounter any between this and the polling day.Mr.McShane is by a long way the more popular candidate for mayor in this ward, and he will undoubtedly head the poll.Judging from present appearances, the contest between the two candidates in the West ward will be a close one; and it would be very hazardous to venture to estimate the respective chances of each.As to the mayoralty, the feeling in favor of Mr.McShane is much stronger here than in any of the other wards, and he will poll a heavy majority in it.There is a three-cornered fight going on in St.Lawrence ward, but the struggle will be practically confined to two of the candidates\u2014Ald.Griffin and Mr.Baxter.Both Ald.Cunningham and Ald.Griffin were asked what they thought of Mr.McShane\u2019s prospects for the occupancy of the mayoral chair, and each gave.it as his opinion that the only question in the ward is the size of his majority.Up to the present Ald.Clendinneng is alone in the field in St.Antoine Ward.The name, of Mr.Ogilvie, the dry goods merchant, is, however, mentioned as a probable candidate.The former is very popular throughout the ward.In regard to the mayoraity, the feeling in favor of Mr.McShane is growing stronger every day.The electors have always shown themselves opposed to a third term, and may be expected to vote against Mr.Grenier on principle.Several of the leading electors spoken fo condemned in severe language the violation by Mr, Grenier of his public pledges.The people of St.Ann\u2019as Ward are perfectly well satisfied with the efficiea manner in which Ald.Conroy ha discharged his civic daties.Moreover they do not wish to lose the chairmanship of the Water Committee, Mr McShane served the ward for a period of twenty years.It is generally expected that the vote polled by Mr, Grenier wil net exceed 300 out of a total of abou\u2019 40.The able and intelligent mauner in wbich Ald.Thompson has fulälled hrs duties in the council has created a strong and widespread desire in St.Gabriel Ward to retain him in his present repre- sertative position.He is a large pro- prieter in the ward, as well as a resident.He is certain to be raturasd without o)- position.He is alwavs ready with a practical suggestion in the discussions in the council, avd he has mada a very useful chairman of the City Hall Commit es.Mr.McShane is as popalar a candidate for the mayoralty In tuis ward as be is in St.Ann\u2019s.\u2018If Mr.Grenier breaks his word with Mr.McSuane, we will nat,\u201d said a prominent citizea.\u201cIf thers is any opposition to him on Feb.1 we will vote for him to a man.We shall never forget his kindness to us during the floods.Day after day he brought to us in bis boat bread and groceries for our families, And thus helped to keep us from destitution in those disastrous times.\u201d A Bold Burglar Nabbed, Between four and five o'clock yesterday morning private constable Burns observed a man on St.James-street acting rather suspiciously, and at once set out to follow and watch his movements.The suspect stcpped in front of the St.James clothing store,tried the door, found it locked round and seeing no one, broke a pane of glass in the window with his foot, and took out a suit of clothes.Burns then started for the burglar who ran for all he was worth and was only captured after quite a chase.When arrested h» was taken to No.6 Station and will be brought before the police magistrate this morning cn a charge of burglary.He is said to be an old cflender and if the police are not mistaken has alrealy served thrse years at St.Vincent de Paul for à sim ilar offence._\u2014 Finished H is Fast.New York, Dec.20.\u2014Giovanni Succi\u2019s fast of 45 days terminated this evenin: at 9.30 o\u2019clock in the presence of aa audience of about four hundred peopla.The worst attack of grastrie trouble th .t he had during his fact occurred at five o'clock to-day, during which his pain was 80 acute that it was feared he would collapse, but his indomitable will power carried him auccessfuily through.From 5 p.m.until he took his first cup of cocoa, at 8.15 his pain continued to he more or less acute.It was evident in many ways by the distortions of his face, which was terribly shrunker, by his frequent change of position on the lounge upon which he was reclining by the nervous twitchings oi his wasted hands, and by the restless glare of his deep sunken \u2018eyes, and in various other ways.When the cocoa was prepared, shortly after 8 o\u2019clock he got off the lounge and staggered to the table where the nourishing diet was placed.The spectable he presented was truly pitable.He looked like a skeleton, and when he smiled it was ghastly, much the same smile that a condemned prisoner might be expected to make before going to execution.When he sipped the cocoa there was a burst of applause from the people.Will She Hang ?- SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Lonpox, Dec.20.\u2014Sir Forbes Winslow, the noted alienist, has examined the condemned murderess Mary Eleanor Wheeler, alias Pearcy, and has expressed the opinion that she committed the murder of Mr.Hogg while in an epileptic fit and consequently was not responsible for her actions.The opinion is likely to have an important influence in deciding the woman\u2019 fate.Unless Home Secretary Matthew's sees some ground for & commutation or a reprieve the prisoner will be hanged next Tuesday, Dec.27.In the case of the Wheeler woman the only ground for official clemency must be insanity as the crime was of the most atrocious character especially, the killing of the infant child of Mr.Hogg with the mother.\u2014\u2014\u2014 a No Red

eagerly observed by both English and French statesmen.li is admitted on all sides that the result of the negotiations is not unlikely to prove the most important economic event since Cobden went to Paris to negotiate the Anglo- French treaty.The movement is undeniably a sign of German reaction against high protectionism and commercial exclusiveness.-\u2014.e\u2014 Hypnotism Don\u2019t

deputation, representing the Ocean Staamship Marine Underwriters and cattle exporters, waited on the Minister of Marine and Agriculture with reference to the best means of iwproving the system of

promised to give the matter the fullest consideration.Allan, Watts and Torrance, representing the steamship companies, joined beartily in the proposition to improve the facilities for carrying cattle

all three serial: are admirably illustrated.Amoug the shorter stories, Joaquin Miller has aa exc:ting tale of his own early life, illustrated by Remington.Frank M.Bick- nell tells of \u201cThe People who Jumped, illustrated by E.B.Bensell;

the Caradian howe of Robert de la Salle; reminiscences of the Canadian rebellion; the battle-Geids of Luudy\u2019s- lane, Stoney Creek aud Queenstown Heights.Mr.Fras r's action in publishing tress sketches will doubtlsss be ape preciated hy all Canadiane,and especially by those who take au int-ress in the carly history of their country.- Always Avoid Harsh Purgative Pills.They first make you sick and then leave you constipated.Carter's Little Liver Piils regulate the boweis and make Doge, one pill.you welj.2-4-6 DOES CURE GONSUMP™ ~~ M In its First Stages.)

regarded as a temporary make-shift, the principal clauses of which provide for the purchase of 12,000,000 ounces of silver Bullion, and also silver coin to replace national bank notes retired.It is expected that the bill will bs reported in a jew ddys.A Washington despatch gives the following view of the situation: Senator Aldrich was not present at the meeting of the committee to-day and did mot vote forjor against the caucus Silver bill.He became satisfied during the day that all but two or three cf the Republican Senators would consent to be bound by the caucus agreement and will therefore support it.Several features of tha bill will encounter opposition from other Republican Senators, and it may be amended in several particulars.Senator Sherman desires to make a fight for his bond scheme, and will move it as an amendment when the bill is before the Senate.Senator Hiscock reserved the right ta vote against the proposition to issue new legal tender Treasury notes to replace National bank notes when silver bullion cannot be purchased.The Democratic members of tke Finance Committe ereserve the right to op- Pose the caucus bill altogether, but they did not object to having it reported.Th only silver Senator who is expected t Yote for free coinage against the caucas bill is Senator Stewart of Nevada.H» Will make no promises and will vote for free coinage whenever Le gets a chance.Assurances have been received, however, from both of the Colorado Senators and Senator Plumb of Kansas thatthe proposed bill will have their support.If a free coinaga amendment is offered Y à Democratic enator it will be voted > down by a nearly solid Republican vote.If ti e cauzus bill passes in snbstantially i's present form 1t will probably worry through tbe House.There is litt'e change in the feeling of members of the lower branch since the votes on the Silver bill in July.Soma of the Eastarn Republicans are talking of opposition to new silver legislation, bot they will doubtless bow to party mandate when the time comer.If a vote is taken oa free coinage, it will result about as it did in the last sersion, when fres carnage was defeated by 17 majority.The Eastern Democrats who then voted against it have nearly all been endorsed by reelection, And ara ready to vote thasame way again.There are some of them who will be well satisfied to see lezisla- tion defeated and no new increase of the \" currency made, It ie possible that the bill will drift slong without action until it can be defeated.Senator Aldrich and oth:r Eastern Senators are not anxious to see the caucus hill paes, and will not hurry mat- tars in order to promote its success.Sea- ator Aldrich is a member of the Com ait- tee on Rnivs charged with framing a cloture resolution to insure the passage of the Force Bilt.He is not showing intense zeal in the matter, aud probably will not grieve if the fight over the rales and \u2018the Force Biil is prolonged just enough to prevent final action oc the Financial Bill.Noclear cause has yet been mapped out for the Republican majority of the Senate, and several S:nato.s are in no haste to have it mappsd out.New York Stocks.Messrs.Bateman & Co.telegraph Oswald Bros.to-day, over diract private wire, as follows : To-dav\u2019s market was very dull and a shade lower.The bauk statement being more favorable tnan was expected caused a moderate rally only.The chief features were a deciine in silver and a sharp advance in sugar.The specie which came on the Lahn, about $2,500,- G00, does not appear on the bank statement.Rock Island declared the regular 1 per cent.dividend to-day.The impression is that the Finance bill, now in tbe Senate, will be materially changed before it passes.The Vanderbilt meetings will be held next Tuesday for the customary dividend.The D., L.& W.dividend will be declared next Friday.Next week is broken by tha holidays and not much change in stocks is expected.Messrs, MacDougall Bros., stock brokers, 69

highest price of the day.Cables were conflicting, some showing higher, others lower prices, but it was soon evident that there was plenty for sale, and there has been all day.The report possibly had some effect, as it tells of drought and Hessian fly, and was quite satisfactory to the bulls, but the market has been weak all through the session, closing practically at bottom prices.Receipts in the Nortb- west were too large and prics weakened.Foreigners are not taking a great deal, although wheat, with flour added to it, makes a fair aggregate.Bulls were good sellers, shorts the best buyers.We think the short interest to-night smaller than it has been for some time past.Receipts 418,000, shipmeats 158,000 Exports wheat and flour 334,000.Liverpool easy and freely supplied.Dee.3d higher,

it does not have to be bought back on a swell.Receipts 393,000, shipments 193,000, ex- poris 52,000.Liverpoul quiet, poor demand at unchanged prices.Oats\u2014With the exception of a little selling by bears when the market got weak, trade has been without feature, closing within je cf bottom price.Provisions\u2014Closed weak at lowest prices of the day.The gelling to-dav was led by packers.A heavy line of short pork has been covared to-day and a large line thrown over by the country market, which acts weak and may coo- tinue so until after Janoary products ave out of the way.Packers are making

following: The butter market generally the past week has ruled quiet, and, while receipts have not increated to any extent, still supplies have been a little excessive and the tone a shade easier, though at the close weather is cold and holders inclined to be steady.Nearly all the western creamery arriving is defactive from frosty flavor and light body, and tbe bnlk has come under grade of seconds and firsts, and such quality has tended to accumulate, acd not possessing keeping qualities receivers have not hesitated to shade a fraction whenever necessary.Highest grades are not quotable above 29: and have not cleaned up closely at that.El- gin creamery has not been in l:rze supply, but 30c the extreme for the best.Penreylvania creamery in only moderate supply and has held about steady.State dairy gold a little better earlv in the week, principally on out-of-town orders, but more gniet toward the close, though holders of strictly fancy are disposed to be hopeful and not urging sales Imitation creamery quiet and tone nat quite go firm.Fresh factory was very quiet early in the week, but doing a litt'e better toward the close.Cheese has had a quiet week, marked by no event of pronounced signiticance or importance.Some owners: of fancy goods hsve put a price on them nos to be obtained at the moment, and consequently were not called upon ta entertain apy customers.Others willing to sell at about old fignres have secured some business, but did not find th= demand very urgent, The most direct effurt on foreign account has heen in the shape of a sort of still bunt among the under priced goods, and in one way or another quite a number of these were sold to somewhat better advantrge.Buyers would not go above the 9(@9ic frange as a rule on full cream goods lacking the etsentials of piaparation, but within the range they have taken a gr.at many parcels of stock that a short time ago they claimed to be entirely unworthy of the price.Some of the light ekims have also brought a little more mouey, with full skims ruling about steady and selling very fairly.In fact, the circle of the supply drawa down narrower, and just so much strengthens the position of holders, though it is a noticeable feature that very few, if any, refer to the chance of raising tbe line of ,valuation until after turn of year at least.A trip among the stores reveals a pretty snug amount of cheese in sight, with more known to be in lofrs and cold storage; vet there is a noticeable tendency to claim comparatively light stocks, a point tbat may be settled (?) by the usual Jan.1 invenivry.There has been nothing new of special importance from the courtry this week.An owner of (ne of the Western New York combination factories is here trying to sell his cheese.The exports for this week promise some 22,000 boxes, of which 6,000 are s:id to be through.Ze Cotton Markets.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, LivEnvoor, Dec.20.\u2014Cotton, American middlings 5 3-16d.New York,

Experiments in Grain and Cattle Raising, &c., to the Farmers of Stanstead.AYERS FraTts, Dec.16.\u2014A well at ended meeting cf many of the leading farmers of S.anet:ad County Was nel.at the county seat bers to-day, for the purpose of organizing a County Farmers\u2019 Institute.The gathering was made the cceasion of giving the farmers of the county the first opportunity of hearing these eminent experimautaliets Pr tsssor Satnders, at the ie d of the Experimental Farm, O'tawa, and Professor Robertson, Dominlun commissioner «f dairying.The two proiessora were also accompanied by Hom.John Carling, Minister of Agriculture.J.C.Chapala, Aesistant-Comustesioner of Dairpivg, R.B.Pope, M.J\u2019., and H.8, Foster, President, of the District of Belford Daiirymen's Asso(iat on.c.H McClintock, warden of the county was votsd to ths chair and among those present were ; Mayor Hackett of Staostead, A, H.Mo.re, Magog, Chas.Cushing, J.B.Buckland, Lnthrop Thoraton, Jas.Par- Ler, Barnston, B.F.Knight, J.G.Ayer, Wu.Cobinson, D.A.Mousur, Stanstead A.W.Grindlay, Avery lves, Edwin -Howe, A, Hurd, Geo.Kezar, H.G.Ayer, Jas.Usrter, Wm.Ride, Alex.K-zir, Hatley, John Roberton, M.Raymond, Compton, and others.Prcf.Saunders was the first to address the meeting, On rising he expresssd the pleasura it afforded bim to meet for tie first time the farmers of Stanstead county.He said that his remarks would be coutined to tbe subject of the exper- mental farms and the wurk tney were doing., After pointing out that there were five of these exreriment:l furms located at different points trom ths Atlantic to the Pacific, in order to ge: es an o@xuact a test as poss ble of tle best paving products peculiar to the climate and suil of tois diversified territory.He explained at considerable length the work whicn was carried on the Central farm at Ottawa.Speaking of climatic influences, he eaid that this, one of the principal ccnditions of tarming and what was grown upon the farm should be selected to suit this conditica.In the matter of cereals many and varied experiments bad been conductad at Ottawa to test the relative merits of seeds for cultivation.Correspondence has been opened with all the countries of Europe in order to obtain these cereals, and so far 140 varieties had been experimented with.The result of these experiments was announced by bullsting, As compared with other; wheats he recommended the Ladoga fancy as best adopted (0 this part of the country.By sending to the farm at Ottawa a thrze pound Lag of grain would re waied to any farmer which he coud scw and thereby get a sufficient amount for seeding.This would cost the farmer nothing nct even postage as that too was free.Oasts he.said should Le mada to yield from 40 to 41 lbs.in weight per bushel.Tarmers were too apt to let their seed run out.This should be carefully guarded against and they had established a department at Ottawa for {esting the germinating qualities of seed and if at any time a farmsar waut-d his grain tested he might enclose a sample in an envelope, send it t> the department and it would be analyzed free of charge.In this way he could learn what per cent.of the grain would grow.This wes an important thing to remember as very often a healthy looking grain was a really very poor germinator.Grain should be sown as early as possible.1f the ground selected was wet, drain it.As a general thing it was better fo have the ground plowed in the fall.Then it would be ready for the early spring work.Of experiments made at Ottawa it was found that a difference of a week's time in seeding made a difference off 15 lbs.weight in the bushel of grain raised from the same seed.This difference was not so noticeable in oats as in barley and some other grains, but 1t was sufficient in the former to advise early eowing.Some valuable hints were given as to the best and cheapest food for stock.Speaking of corn for enailage experiments showed that for our climate the thoroughbred White Flint was the best.It matures better than all others as it takes lees time to ripen, and it is of heavy growtb, having a number of side sboots.It ofien yields 30 tons to the acre.From experiments conducted in horticulture he saw noreason why apples of the hardier variety should not be cultivated with success here.He referred briefly to the chemical department where soils, waters, etc.were tested and stated that since the passage of the McKinley bill numerous tists of the preservative quality cf the egg had been made in the past six weeks with gratifying results.Professor Saunde's was listened to with marked attention and at the conclusion of his remarks was warmly applauded.Professor Robertson, who was the next speaker, is & keen, humorous young Scotchman, widely informed and thoroughly converaant with every department of his work.He gets right down to business at once and has the happy faculty of makipg his arguments 8 em like axioms and he makes them stick where he throws them out.He said be was pleased to see so many farmers together.When the farmers got together they would feel and see the importance of their business.In the past the farmers had been too offish.They had been too envious of each other for the good of all* If a farmer built à good barn to keep his cattle warm his nsigh- bor wondered if his father-in-law diun't back his note.They must get over that feeling and come together for mutual intereste.He was afraid there were many farm- ets who knew very little of what they were doing.A man does not need to go to ccllege to learn farming, although it would help bim in his work.The speaker Lere cited a case of a man working at great disadvantage, yet by economy, by careful attention to business, combined with a thorough mastery of the skill of farming, had amassed a handsome fortune.Cows and co-operation was the burden of the speaker's address.Speaking of the cow be said: Asa role where the most cows were found the greatest prosperity prevails, A cow that doesn\u2019t milk for more than six months in the year hardly pays for herself.This is found to be the case in Ontario.A cow that doesn\u2019t pay is a dead weight and sheuld be disposed of.In selecting a cow for a milker the following rules should be regarded: (1), along udder lengthwiee of body, (2), gradua taper from rump to neck, small er in front than behind, (3), good skin and mellow, (4), very long Dairel with ribs wide apart, K5), lorg neck, fine face and large lustrous eye.He said that there wera some two hundred and fifty points that wright ba ob- | ° | served, but ae 8 general rule these were cafe guidue.At 1 aU oue-uaif of tue herd of cows she ul?he wwe to calvin the fall.Inthe wint:r!utrr broous a m ¢ better price than in the ruramer, 18 t comands on the average 23 (a) 29¢ n the Fnulish markets.Again Ute COW tha: a es 'nth- fal will yive a third WOF: wiilx dur ng toe super than sue w vid dit the crop her call yo the apring.By \u2018his plau tu\u2018t-r cau te tvaie in tie w pter, nd with the aprivg ihe ether }-alf of the Lerd coming in vil for:isa mitk for the cl eeso factory or creamery.We cen\u2019t a waya say bow oureutarprises will torn cut.Twenty -81X years ago tbe first cheese factory wes stated in On- taro.lt did not pay at first; but grada- ally came to do to, snd this branch of farming haa spread till now tnere were sbove 750 cheese factori+& in Ontarivalons Thera was a med of the inspasiors to help the cheese makers.In tuis respect you are not so well off mn the Eastern Townebips as in Outario.An inspector was appointed for Be:fcrd district dur- ivg tLe past year, and inquiries made in Montreal from men who baudied the cheete trom that district c i.ited toe m- formation that the quality of toe clieess was very much improved, apd was now sold in the same market as the Ontar o cheese.Speaking of corm and its va-us es a cheap food fcr cows he said that we could not be beaten Ly any locahty for ra sitg fodder corn.He referred t.ca 11 the case of Hon.Louis Beaubieu, who the past yesr got 85 tons of ensilugs to the acre frum coru p'auted on lis farin.Corn, be said, did not exhaust ths soil as many other crops did.Its root was ¢een, it citen went down 14 inches iuto the suil, und this served to locsen and cleen it.The best varioty was teat which is nearly matured when ready to eut.The cern should be putin as svon as peteibls after the frost is out The rewe sbou'd be three fect apart and the Lills four inches.Wher tue corn is about an inch high it should be gone over with a smootbidg harrow.Lt can be harrowed twice over without damage.Hall a bushel of seed to tue acre is quite sufficient.Corn plantsd in this way cculd be cut very readily ; one man wita a sickle conld reap an acre in ten hours.He did not blame anyone wio had 1o reap a field of corm sown broadcast for saying he would never again attempt to raise fodder corn.It was almist a Her- cult an task, but there was no compari- scn between the two methods.The corn sbould be cut in bundles and allowed to wilt befcre being put into silo.A silo with a 100-ton capacity coulda be cou- structed in the corner of the barn for $70, which (an be more than reimbursed by the first year's profits on the ensilage.Ore hundred tous of ensilage was equal to fifty tous of hay.The total cost of eu- silage put into silo was but $1.25 per ton.Four tons of ensilsge would keep one cow 5} months, therefore one hundred tons would keep 25 cows the game length of tims and this amouat could easily be raised on seven acres of grourd.A man who eays he can\u2019c keap twenty-five cows on 1U0 acres of land says in effect that he doesn\u2019t know his business.In some instances, but fow thcugb, in Ontario fifty cows were keps on 100 acres.} Referring to co-operation he said that every own in Canada should bavea farmer's club.There should be any is enorgh intelligence in every neignbor- hood to carry this out.Tne club should be made a place where the farmer goes to give something as well as to get sume- thing.He concluded by urging those present to co-operate to the end of form- Ipg an organization such as the pro- muters of the meeting contemplated.¢ Hop.Mr.Cariing was next iutroduced.This was the first occasion which afforded him en opportunity of speaking in Stan- stead county and he was glad it was such an occasion as this.He liked to meet with the farmers.He still retained a lingering affection for agricultural pursuits a8 he was born on a farm where he lived till he was twelve yeara of age.As to the matter of educating the rising generation he would have t cm learn the fundamental principles of farmi:g.He would bave the coming tescher instructed in this important branch cf education so that they in torn might impart wat they acquired to the boys and girls who come under their Care.Mr.Carling made some references to the advantages of raciprocity with the States and the difficuity of obtainiog it, He was followed by several other peakers.At the close of the speeches an ivetitute was organized with &° following officers: President, A.H.Moore, Magog; vice- presidents, H.H.Batcheldar, Magog; C.J.Cushivg, Barnston; B.F.Knight, Stanstead; Ozro Baldwin, Barford; Georze K: zar, Hatley; secretary, M.F, Hackett, Stanstead.A.BISHOP STEWART, Carver and Gilder Mirror,

the Montreal Chess Club now resident in New York, writes to the secretary ot that club, Mr G.W.Liddell suggesting the desirability of inviting the great chess nfaster Mr.Guusberg to this city.It would add greatly t> the intarests of the royal game, and ss there are now three large chees clubs in this city, they might cooperate and invite hiw to visit Montreal.Mr.Liddell will give any particulars as

several minor ones in the river ice on Saturday morning.At one time the water rose to a beight of 31 feet seven inches.Yesterday there were several shoves and numerous open Spaces were observable.The water was falling yesterday, having dropped four inches between 12 o'clock and 9 p.m., when the gauge st:od 20 feet eight inches.There ia a general wish among trade\u2019s people that there should be cressings this week for the Christmas trade, but the soft weather of yesterday will probably give a set back to the rea- lizatton of these hopes.re A Magnificent Picture, There is now to be seen in the window of Walker's store in St.James street what is probably the handsomest picture of arailway that has ever been exhibited.It represents one of the magnificently equipped Transcontinental trains of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company with the beautiful Shuswap Lakes in the back ground.This picture is about twelve feet long and about five feet wide and is intended for the London.England office of the Canadian Pacific Railway.It is well worth seeing and as it will be on ex-, bibition until Tuesday afternoon only, the time is shert for getting a glimpse at it.-\u2014\u2014e>\u2014\u2014_\u2014 Licence Inspectors Busy.Owing to the energetic efforts of chief Lambe and his staff of Ravenue police it is becoming more and more difficult fur the thirsty ones to obtain their customary morning nips on Sandays.Yesterday many houses which but seldom 1n their history kept closed dens were sealed up and even to intimate friends there was no admittance.Some of the more noted law breakers were visited, not once but several times through the day and if Mr.Lambe keaps on for some weeks longer doing as he bas done of late, the bibulous will have tolay in a

Pierre Celestin Martin, 66 years of age, residing at the corner of St.Andrew\u2019s and St.Albert-streats, Point St.Charles, hanged himself yesterday aficznoon with a clothes line in a shed in the rear of his house.The suicide was a surprise to all who knew the unfortunate man, and to bis family the action seems unaccountable.All morning the old man appeared to be in the best of spirits and was moving round the house as light and lively as a cricket.He and his wife resided with their son and their house was a comfortable one in every respect.Though not rich, they were in easy circamatances and apparently the man had not a care in the world He was not addicted to sirong drink and when last sean alive was, so far as could be judged, as sober and san» as ever ne bad been in his life.Aoout one o\u2019clock he went outintothie yard and was seen going iuto the woodshed.Nothing was thougbt of this but wbea an hour had passed and be did not return the son became auxious and weut to look for him.He found his father ia the shed, banging by a piece of clothes iine, from one of tue rafiers, stone uead.He was cut down and brought int) the house, the coroner aud priest notified, and the corpse is now lyiog theie drassed In a suit of broadcloth, while allday long curious neighbors viewed the remaias.The coroner will hold an inquest at 10 o'clock this morning.\u2014\u2014\u2014l\u2014 THEY ARE STILL EXPERIMENTING With Dr.Koch\u2019s Lymph at the General Hospital in this City.Eyery morning about the hour of 19 the patients under the treatment at the General Hospital with Dr.Koch's lymph receive a fresh injection A good deal of the excitement which was aroused by the first\u2019 experiment has subsided but still the cases are watched with much interest by the profession.On Friday, the woman suffering from lupus, had the injection at 10.30.Her temperature was normal and remained so up till mid- ni.ht, ranging from 98 1-5 to 93 4-5 degrees.At midnight it rose to 99 1-5 and the first constitutional effect was shown.Ai 4 o\u2019clock the temperatura rose to 99 3-5; at 8 a.m,, it was 100, and at 10 a.m., shortly befora the second injection took place, it had gone up to 100 2.5, Tae pulse remained normal, ranging from 72 to 78, and the respiration was also normal being 20 to 22.There was a faint blush on the patienVs nosa aad left cheek, which, however, bore no definite relations to the diseased parts.These first appeared at 5 p.m., yesterday, but have since partiailly disappeared.Saturday morning she was re- injected at 10.30 with two-tenths of a centimetre of & one per cent.solution of the lymph.The girl suffering from tubercular dermitis, showed no constitutional cffects of the injection.The temperature remained normal, ranging from 98 to 99 until 10 a.m, ts-day when it rose to 992-5.There was a slight fiush on the cheek and hauds, in che region of the tubercular spots, but bearing no relation to them.In neither case is there yet my change in the diseas:d parts, The fist wale person to be treated with t :e lymph was a man, 25 years of age suffering from tuberculosis of the bladder, Dr.Jas.Bell recenily par- formed a successful supra-pubic opera- ticu on the man.Yesterday morning Dr.Roddick\u2019s clinic was attended by a large number of practitioners and students.A much more marked reaction has followed ths second injection of the lymph thun was noted from the first.In the casa of the woman with lapus the temperature went up to 102 1-5 ©, a marked blush was observed over the affected cheek and the lupoid spot was dryer and paler yesterday tban before.Ihe girl, too, had a considerable rise of temparatute and complained of headache and nausea on Saturday afternoon and night.In addition toa well marked blush on both cheeks, numerous moist spots appeared over the diseased areas on Saturday afternoon and remained visible for some hours.This girl presented some slight reducss and puffiness atthe seat of inoculation.The only notable change in the pulse was observed in the woman\u2019 case on Saturday night.It quickened from 86 in the afternoon to 110 at 11 p-w., when it was irregular in its volume.Both these patients were injected with 4-10 of a cubic centimetre of the dilated lymph yesterday.The man injected on Saturday morning having shown no reaction to a dose | of .15 c.¢.of the fluid, recsived .4 c.c.Yesterday.Two other patients were injected yesterday\u2014one for diagnostic par- poses, being suspected to have tubereu- lous digease of the bladder, the other presenting extensive tubercular deposit in the left lung.This is the first case in which Dr.Roddick has used the lymph in a lung case.PERSONAL MENTION, Mr.R.T.Bidsell, of London, Eng., 1s a guest at the Windsor.Mr.D.C.Edwards, of Halifax, is ra- giste

SAKE, \u2014\u2014 The Herald\u2019s Fund For a Christmas Dinner For the Protestant Insane Is Mounting UP TO A MAGNIFICENT SUM.One Hundred and Twenty-five Names Were Added to the List on Saturday.The Herald's fund for the Protestant Insane Christmas dinner is still growingz.! Saturday brought an addition of 125 names to the list of subscribers, which makes the amount so far received $361.This is good, but it is not good enough.In this case The Herald is greedy and wants all it can get.Montreal is a rich city and in 80 good a cause it can afford to give more than $36.That sum will buy a pretty good Christmas dinner, it is true, but the hospital is poor, apd there are other days in the year on which it is just as necesgary that the hungry inmates should be fed as on Christmas.So those who have not sent along their dollars can do so now, confident that they will be well applied.Thera are yet a fow hundred more men in this city who can spare a dollar for a good cause, aud Tne Herald is ready and willing to invest it.The Verdun Hospital wanss a lot of money, and at this above all times of the year peace and plenty should reiga there.lf you have not time to Call at the office, ring up Bell telephona No.343, or Federal No.1012, give your name and a collector will call for the dollar.Every little helps, and your dollar will do as much to swell the total as that of anybody else.Apart from private subscriptions, surely the churches could lend a hand in so 1audable a work.The heart of selfish man opens and rece ves more generous impulses on Christmas day than perhaps on any other.Why should not some of the pastors of Montreal's many Pro.estant churches take np a Collection for their afflicted breth- ein on that day.There are many who ssibly could not afford to giva a dollar ut who could well spare a few cents, and if the plate were passed round the total 1csult would undoubtedly ba a handsome sum, and help to keep the wolf from the door for many days.Chink of it ye reverend gentlemen who preach christian charity.\u201d Think of it and act on it and next Friday morniog send a fag little purse to I'he Herald as a practical expression of the good effect your preaching has had in awakening, the benevolent instincts of your congrega- ioue.The

and prayed that he might become Argus-eyed if but for a few moments, but all to no avail.The money was gone and the dreadful conclusion at last forced itself upon him that it was gone forever.Here was

$50 for doing odd extra jobs during the late Mr.D\u2019Ar- cy\u2019s illness.They claim that the payment will be illegal.\u201cIf the Finance Committee can do this,\u201d said one of the aldermen,

morning.\u201cBut what we do?We bring the offenders before the Recorder, and he either lets them cff altogether or fines them the paltry sum of $1.The fine should be at least $25.A still batter plan would be to let us do the work of seeping the sidewalks in good order ourselves.I could do this at little expense.\u201d re ONE OF THE SURVIVORS Of the Levis Accident Arrived in the City and Talked to The Herald.One of the survivors of the Iutercolo- nial Railway catastrophe at St.Joseph de Levis arrived in the city on Saturday evening and was seem at bis residence afterwards by a Herald representative.Mr.A.Granville, of the firm of Halley, Bros.& Granville, bad been on a business trip to Halifax in company with Mr.John Halley in connection with the Jamaica exhibition and was returning home in the train.The reporter bad to go up to Mr.Gran- ville\u2019s room to see him as he was unable to use bis limbs as he would desire to, but when asked about his injuries he expressed the hope that a few days would see him around all right.Mr.Granville told an interesting story about bis experience.He said \u201cI left Mr.Halley in the first class car and walked into the smoking car to enjoy a smoke just before the accident occurred.All the passengers noticed the cars commence to sway to and fro, and some spoke about it.I made up my mind there was to bs an accident, and held on to my seat as firmly as possible, TLe other persons who did not get themselves secured in some way were thrown about in an unmercifal manner A Mr, Blais who was only a few feet from me was killed by the force with which he was thrown about.Had it not been that my scat became detached from the car just at the critical moment I do not belisve I would bave received ascratzb.After the ast mad plunge was over I picked myself up and started to help those less fortunate around me.Ihad been working soma time when a party printed out that my own arm had been pierced with g piace of glass, This was the first time that f realized that I had sustained any injar.ies and then pain commenced to make itgelf felt.\u201d He described how Mr, Halley escaped without a scratch by hanging on to the hat rack Besides the injury to his arm Mr.Granville feels sore and stiff all over his body but he is thankful it was not worse.The kinduess of the people living near the accident was marked and taey did everything in their power for tue woundad.- THE PUBIAC are invited to inspect for themselves the goods which are on view all day to-day in the Fraser Institute, corner of Dorchester and University-streets, and which will be sold by James Stewart «& Co., auctioneers, to-morrow (Tuesday) at 11 o°clock, a.m.The furniture, wicker chairs, Eastern rugs and the chamber sets are all of the first FIRE AT THE \u201cUNIVERSAL.\u201d Mr.G.W.Clarke\u2019s Beautiful Stock Was Utterly Destroyed on Saturday Night.St.James-street was crowded with sight-seers, shoppars and those retura- ing home from their day\u2019s labor at a few minutes past six on Saturday evening when the cry of fire sounded out upon the cold frosty air.Clarke's \u201cUniversal\u201d fancy goods store was in flames, and rushing from it to save their lives the employees reached the side walk only justin time, for within 60 seconds from the discovery of the blaze the back portion of the store was a seething mass of flame.So quick did it spread that the young ssjeswom mia t even time to secure their stree clothing and the men had to hustle out bareheaded and ov ercoateess.There were many buyers in she store busily engaged in selecting purchase, from the beautiful stock Mr.Clarke carried, when ona of the clerks opened a door leading to the cellar,and like a flash of lighting huge tongues of fire shot from the stairway.Charming Christmas decorations hung tastfully around the store were in fire in a moment and the people got out not any too soon.One of the young ladies fainted from fright and had to be carrie.to safety while the others waited in Mr.Walker's atore until street garments corld be got for them.The alarm was sounded, bat quick as tte firemen were in responding the place was a complete wreck before thair arrival.A stream was at once laid inside the store and water in abundaace was poured upon the flames.it was scon seen, however, that the fire had reached tne second story and that there was great danger of à disastrous spread.Smoke in dense black volumes issued from the many windows in the building as one after the other, the men smashed them ard were driven back half suffocated.\u201c Go right inside\u2019 shouted Chief Benoit and : with come mendable promptness, the firemen obeyed the command.i \u201cfhere\u2019s some one up in the attic \u201d was the starting cry of a spectator ani the truth of his statement was almost immediately verified by tbe appearance of Caretaker Wm, Malcolm at the street door at the side of the burning building.In making his way to safety he had bis hair singed so that his narrow escape may easily be imagined.With the little breath he had left he told that his wife and son wers both at the top of the building.Ladders were quickly raised by the firemen while others reached the attic bv way of the stairway in the adjoining premises, It was an anxious five minutes fur Mr.Malcolm and the thousands of people who completely blocked the street, but at the end of that time it was learned that the inmates had escaped by the skylight.In the meautima the fire spread to the third story and for fully balf an hour threatened to completely consume the whole building, but 80 well was the firemen\u2019s work done that at about a quarter to seven the spactators slowly left the scene satisfied that all danger was past.This was quite true as far as danger of spread to other buildings was concerned but the fire had so effectually worked its way into almost every hole and corner of the premises that it was only with great difficulty that it was finally extinguished.When the flames were driven from the store one of the employees entered and found that the cash for the day\u2019p sales was not injured except by wata'r and fortunately the flames had not reached the safe.When the cry of fire § reached Mr.Clark\u2019s ears his first thought was to close the safe, but the fire was between it and himself and he was obliged to join in the rush for safety.His stock was one of the finest that could be selected for the Christmas trade and business vas so good all day Saturday that there was every appearance of a successful season.But it was not to be.The fire tterly destroyed the whole stock and he loss upon it cannot be less that $35,- 60, while $2000 will probably repair the uilding.Mr.Clarke had only an insar- .nce of $25,000 of which the greater part in the Royal, British America and cotuish.The two upper flats were used 8 offices, and in most cases tue \u2018urni- ture was either burned or rained by smoke and water.Mr.Clarke was negotiating for another $4000 insurance; he had received the rates but bad not closed the deal.Walker's hardware store which is next door was very slightly damaged by smoke and water.> en INFORMATION WANTED.About à Bostonian {Who Has Been Missing for Some Time.The following circular which speaks for itself has been received in Montreal and is in the hands of Chief

constituents in St.Gabr:et War Wo was on hand a quarierof an hour befor the appointed time.Ald Stephen, and Ald.Hamelin came into the TOOm arm in arm, asthe big clock wag 8trikin three.Thenin walked Ald, Clendin® neng, with a brand new pair of fanc overshoes, 8 new white clay pipe between his teeth, and the famopg gold headed cane in his hand.Ald, Roliang dropped in shortly afterwards, followed by Ald.Stevenson.Mr.Lusher, p, ger of the strect railway, did not\u2019 py; Py an appearance.a Ald.Thompson drew the Committee\u2019 attention to the pstition wbich thy residents of St.Gabriel's and St Ang\u2019 wards bad sent to the management of the street railway company, asking tham to run their sleighs through tq new Wellington-street sub way.The deputation who had presented the patition wore informed by the manager of th, Come pauy that they would ba por- fectly willing to comply with the Visneg of the petitioners if they ol sined from the City Council the ne Z688arÿ permission.Ald.Thompson advocated the; the company should be accorded aathor.ity to alter their present system, g; ag to run three sleighs on Mullin and Coutre.streets to Napoleon-road and three from Wellington-street to Napoleon-rcad, toth routes starting froua Piace d\u2019Armes tii] He hoped the company would hav.no objection to go thus far in ooliging the public\u2014in fact, it was to their interas: to do so.Next spring, he trusted the company would run ordinary cars through the subways.Mr, Lusher expressed himself Willing fo comply with the desires of the petitioners.On the motion of Ald.Clendinneng, it was resolved \u201cthat this committees paying heard that the Street Railway Company is willing to divide the present system so as to run three slaighs on Mullins and Centre-streets to Napoleon- road, three sleighs on Wellington-street to the toll-gate and Napoleon-road, provided that the City Council grants ttem the right, recommends that permission be accoraed to them to do 80.\u201d Ald.Thompson, in reply to Ald.Rolland, expressed bimself satisfied with the resoiution.Mr.Lusber said that this would give a ten minutes\u2019 servic to the locality in question.In answer to Ald.Stephens, Mr.Lusher stated that his company had decided to run one car on Amherst-street.A long discussion ensued as to the advisability of the city purchasing the Street Railway Co.s rights.Toe op- nion Was expressed that since the present company had failed to g ve tte public adequate accommecdation facilities should be given to some other company to run a new street railway.To this Ald.Stevenson objected.\u201cWe have bad alot of trouble with one company,\u201d he said, \u201cand if we have two companies we will only bave twics as much trouble.\u201d \u201cWhat is wanted,\u201d said Ald.Stephens, \u201cis a street railway service which will give satisfaction to the public.The prases t company doesn\u2019t give us a good service.So we shall take steps t> secure for tbe publie the accommodation which they demand.\u201d One of the alderman contrasted the Street railway service of Toronto with that of Montreal; but Mr.Luster held that the eomparison was unjust, since in Toronto there were wide stra:ght and level streets, whereas in Montreal the streets were marrow, «(rooted and hilly.Toronto was the finest ciuy in the world for a street railway.Another alderman toid Mr.Lusher that, if bis company did not look after the interests of the public more carefuily, they would soon have the overhead raii- way to contend against, \u201cWhy,\u201d said Mr.Lusher, \u201cthat will do 78 good.Elevated railroads always help o swell the receipts of street railways.\u201d \u201cIf I could only manage that street allway for a week,\u201d begaa Ald.Stephon.son.\u201cYou would be at Longue Pointe,\u201d in- terruj ted Mr.Lusher.A large amount of good-humored badinage was then indulged in, until the chairman reminded the members of the committee that they had met to transact tome business.Ald.Stephens became practical at once.He moved that \u201cinasmuch as this committee has agreed to a new street railway system, which will afford increased accommodations to the citizens, the city surveyor be instructed to prepare a plan according to the resolution already adopted by this committee, and also that the city attorney be instructed to prepare a memo of conditions upon which the privilege will be granted.\u201d After some ineffectual \u2018opposition on the part of Ald.Clendinneng, the motion.pased unanimously.The subject of the overcrowding of the cars was incidentally alluded to by Ald.Thompson, who stated that he had seen 26 people,a few days ago crowded in one of those \u201cboxes.\u201d mr.Lusher asked him, to supply the name of the conductor and the number of the car; but of cours: the wortby alderman had not taken a note of either, \u201cWeil,\u201d said Mr.Lusher, \u201cif I knew hisname 1 would at orce dismiss him.We have dischar:eu two conductors this week for the same offence.\u201d à Neg tea Met in St.Lawrence Ward.I have but one aim in view, said Mr Baxter on Saturday,
