WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 27, 1893.ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PLE OUT OF WOK.New Tork, Dec.M\u2014\"Bradatreet's estimate that tn the United States there are 200,000 workers in enforced idieness, having two million of people dependent upon them, is felt by many here to be below the actual figures.The distress In this city is something unprecedented, and but for the energetic action of philanthropic associations and individuals, the newspapers being prominent in the work, the situation would be dangsrous.The \u2018Commercial Advertiser,\u2019 reviawing the position, says: \u201cThere are 100,000 idle, workiess men, women and children jp New York city.Of theas, 30.000 are dependent on charity for food and fire and the barest necessities of life.It is not a question of butter on the bread, It lo a question of Phas bread.And New York has to face IL [ed where Willams lived, and being told Not entirely for sentimental reasons.If thers was no feeling of good\u2019 will tof man abroad at this season of the year the problem wouid have to be met just ae resolutely.One-eighteenth of (he population of New York le out of employment.This is a menace.What the result of a continued pressures of umre- lieved want would be it is difficult bo say.Fortunately.thers is no occselon for speculating on this side of the problem.The charity of New Yorks is prompt, ready and adequate.There remains only the difficulty of making & efficient, of distributing It where it will do most good.\u2019 \u201cRelstively, the situation in Brooklyn 1s as bad as that in New York.There are 40,000 idle wage workers\u2014men, women and children\u2014it 1s estimated, who usually have work at this time of year.Of these 10,000 are destitute.The only thing that stands between them and starvation isocharity.Every chureh \u2014Protestant and Catholle allke\u2014is caring for memhers of indigent families.There is no prospect of improvement in the dirordered conditions of trade which have brought about the bad times there.Beveral factories have shut down.Others have given notice that they will cease operations after Jan.1.The buliding trade is at à standetiil.The shops are cutting down the force of employees.The King\u2019s County simshouse Is flied with men and women: in fact.it Is housing the unprecedented number of 1.500.And every day there are fresh pplicants, There is a dreary monotony about the story.Everywhere it is ome of destitution aud Inadequate charity.\u2019 TRE SITUATION IN BOSTON.Boston, Dec.M.\u2014Reprenentatives of Boston's labor organizations met the sub-committee of the Cltisens\u2019 Rellet Committee, in the Mayor's office at the City Hall, last evening, to discuss the present depressing situation.United labor deplored the existing state of affairs and told a sorrowful tale of suf fering In the ranks, but refused to no- cept relief offered under the guise of charity.The reports on the conditions of the orgunisations showed that a large majority of the members were without werk.Charitable offers of ford and fuel had been accepted by some few of the most destitute, but only under protest, during the past week.The garment workers petitioned the committes on different lines.It was unjust, they thought, for Boston merchants to send their goods to be made up in New York and Maine, where they can gain a few cents by the \u2018sweating\u2019 systems, while the garment workers of thelr own city are destitute.The hatters are in a bad plight.But twenty percent are employed.But Iit- tle could be suggested toward affording them employment in their own craft, but it was submitted that they, or at least many, would accept work in any form if they could possibly do tt.The stonemasons and bricklayers feel the situation keenly, and they think the city can help them out.The parks must be pushed through, they argue, and why not go ahead with the work?The roofers, too.complain bitterly of the lack of work.They also feel that their unemployed would welcome any kind of work the city would give.All the councils have assisted their fellows while the treasury held out, but the continuing bard times have depleted their funds \u2014_\u2014\u2014 A QLADSTONIAN VICTORY.London, Dec.22.\u2014At the by-election in the Accrington division of Lancashire yesterday, Mr.Joseph Francis Lee.Gladstonien, was elected over Mr.Her-

CAPTURED.Port Credit, Ont, Dec, 18\u2014Latest de- velupments in the Willlams murder case £0 bo show that ft was not the hired man who committed the diabolical crime.His movements have been traced since he quilted the employ of the murdered man on Wednesday last, when he was paid off and ieft the place.Suepl- clon has now fastened upon a young Bnylishman who, on Thursday evening, called st the residence of George Leath, an the third concemsion, about two miles cast of the Willams farm.This wae between four and five o'clock.He ask- wanted to know If the old gentleman was not lame.Getting the required (n- formation he started westward, and the next seen of him was at the house of Willlam Mackay, about a quarter of & mile from Williame\u2019 house.Here, too, he asked to be directed to Williams.\u2019 This was done and he has not since been seen by any of the neighbors.It is supposed that the murderer of the old couple brained them with a Lar of iron, Although the only instruments that can be found are a heavy boot and potato digger covered with blood.With the horse and harness the murderer took & light cutter, once painted black, but now badly weather beaten.That robbery was the object of the murder is eviient by the state of the house, Every room is topsy turvey, the floor being littered with clothing and goods that had been spread in various trunks.À silver watch with a long gold chain that the old gentleman always wore, and the geld hunting case with a long slender chain that went about the old lady's neck are missing, as also are the drops of the earrings she oonstantly had on.The pockets of the dead man were turned inside out by the dastard who, however, overiooked in his haste a rofl of bills containing about $100 that has since been found under a mattress In the rear bedroom.Williams was reported to be very wealthy and It 1a said he always kept fs money in the house, being afraid to trust it in the banks.Late this afternoon a jury was empaneiled, viswed the remains and adjourned the inquest until 11 o'clock on Wednesday morning.so that a thorough post mor- tem examination may be made.AN AUTOPSY MELD OVER THE BODIES OF TRE AGED COCPLE Port Credit, Ont, Dec.19.\u2014Drs Heggie and Sutton this morning began the autapew on the bodies of Mr and Mrs Willems.Their examination only makes all on the oid man's head.fod any one of them would be suffi- ent to esuse death.One blow in pa:- ticular must have been made by a blunt Instrument as the akull %, entiraiy crushed in.It seems probable that different weapons were used and some of the cuts look as though they had been made with a hatchet.The woman's body has not yet been examined.A young lsd who lives on an adjoining farm reports seeing the helping man on \u2018shursday afternoon assisting the old couple out of the sleigh.This would prove beyond doubt thet the supposed murderer was on the premises tbat evening, and he was the last man seer with Mr.and Mrs.Willams.James Biggins ard the young Englishman who are mmpected of the crime, spent part of Friday night at Nurse's Humber Hotel.From there they went to Weston and on Sunday night put up at Fryers Hotel, in that village, where they epent the whole of Sunday.The identity of the young Englishman is still puzziing the detectives.No one that anewers his description is known to them as at associate of Biggine.The general conmen- sus of opinion ie that the murderers after leaving Weston doubled back on their tracks and have headed for Ham.liton or London, If they did not drive to some small place east of Toronto ard leaving their rig there take a train for a border point.\u2018Their trail bas been an easy one to follow, but it ends at Weston.Detective Greer has sent to the police authorities of every city and town in the province, and border places in the United States.descriptions of both the suspects, the horse, harness and cutter etolen, with orders that they are to be taken into custody.Cooksville, Ont, Dec.3.\u2014The coroner's inquest on the murdered remains of Williams and bis wife began here this afiernoon.Several of the Williams's neighbors wore exmmined, but nothing new wes brought out.Samuel Willlams, an elder brother of the murdered man.whom he had not ssen for eighteen years, arrived to-day from McNabb a sipall village in Renfrew county, and cried like à child when shown the tattered body of his brother.The Inquest was adjourned until to-morrow, when George Butcher, who was arrested at Little York, will be brought up.The police are vary hot in the pursuit of the two men su to be the murderers of Mr.Willlams and his wife.They are believed to be .wo desperate characters well known to the police.Toronto, Ont.Dec.3.\u2014The horve and cart taken away from

I have had few opportunities for seeing your paper, and have but recently learned that you invite opinions from the un- churched as to the causes operating to leave the ministers \u2018a beggwrly array of empty benches\u2019 to preach to.Let us examine & in its relation to three separate and distinct classes of the community: Those seeking Churchianity; those seeking Christianity; those who have found Christianity.They of the first named class when coming into a neighborhood to reside seek the church of their particular denomination nearest them and if they like the preaching they atay, if not they go further and, having found preaching to they taste, the next wep is to become embers.This is not so easy, as by the time they have found a place where they think they could worship (1) they discover that many others of the same mind have pre-empted the seating capacity of the edifice.If the new comers are poor they have a very slim chance of beng taken in even though strangers, and so they go church-hunting until they find a resting piace which they can ca.\u2018their church,\u2019 but the pastor, not being up to their standard, they are but indifferent worshippers.and go, when they do, as 8 matter of form and for such social benefit as the \u2018connection\u2019 may bring them.IZ they happen to be well-to-do and know, or have letters of introduction to a few leading members of the church they may be Invited to share a pew with some one until & vacancy occurs in the \u2018club church.\u2019 In such institutions the members being of the wealthier cines pay annual dues, and, having done that duty, and their seats being pre-empted by purchase or rental, they occupy them\u2014when not more pleasantly occupying their time\u2014~and.as suming the church to be the Kingdom In embyro, they \u2018shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither in yourselves, neither suffer ye (hem t are entering to go In.\u2019 (Matt.xxiii, 13) With regard seeking for ChristianRy, they gv from chureh to church, and, instead of hearing \u2018the giad tiainge of Front joy which shall be unto all people\u2019 are compelled 0 Hotes Le learned dlssourses on the \u2018inerrancy of tie Bible,\u2019 \u2018whether Moses or David or both or neither wrote the peaims,\u2018 and no forth ad nauseam, and in the babel of creeds and doctrines is ft any wonder they do not find what they seek and give it up In despair or else settie down in some comfortably cushioned edifice and become members of the first-named class ?Both thesa classes receive the same sant courteay from the occupants of the pre-empted sittings, and I, myself, have stood in the alsie of a leading church in Montreal with twenty others waiting our turn, ae strangers, to be shown to seats by one solitary verger, while fully fifty pew holders passed us without even looking at us, much less asking us to accept the hospitality of their pews.And we had our best clothes on, too! Is it any marvel when such thinge exist that a heathen (7 Gelegate from Japan, at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago, whould say that \u2018his people would not join Christianity as long as they think it a western morality to preach one thing and practice another.\u2019 But he in his hes thet blindness was only mistaking Churchianity for Christianity.With re- Kard to those who have found Christianity, little remains to be said.If the other two classes failed to find it in the churches, then the churches are not the places for Christians to worship, and they obey the voice calling them, \u2018Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.\u2019 (Rev.xVilL 4, et seq.) It the so-called ministers of the Gospel of Christ wish to find favor with Christians, they must give up club membership, vice-regal receptions, and public and private banquets, and meek to know something of the mind and spirit of the Christ whom they essay to preach, and at this season of the year more than all others 1 would call their attention to the whole of the fifty-elgtith chapter of fsala'», and more particularly the seventh and following verses, as showing them how and where to begin.F.G.Dec.\u20ac Sir \u2014Bince you invited correspondence on this subject I have been much tnter- ested and have read carefully the letters published and reasons given.When you first presented the subject I asked myself many questions (being one of them), and thought what could be said that would interest the average reader.I only refrained from writing from fear that what I might say would not be accepted.That there are very many of the unchurched class, I have no doubt.That a person cannot be a Christian who does not belong to one of the sects bas come to be a popular beilef though few are bold enough to amsert it.Brought up to believe In churches and & member of a certain denomination for more than twenty-five years, 1 claim to have had some experisice.I lived snd labored in ali good conscience to the extent of my ability to be a true Christian and to uphold what I thought to be the true Church of Ohrist.What a delusion!

our correspondents on this question have been of the other sex, and I know you are & believer 1a qual rigtits in this as in other matters.It is true that the largest proportion of oburch members are women, active workers in the interests of thelr church as a rule, fur women are not so haif- hearted as men in this respect.fet there are families who are seldom represented in church, except by the head of the househuid; and for these reasons, family cares, straitened circumstances, that enfurce that lack of style which is so conspicuous in a woman's attire, In these modem days, and having no means of her own to contribute to the schemes of the church for which such frequent demands are made from the pulpit.We may, perhaps, admire the minthy meekness of the wife, who covortiy receives from her husband the nickel or the dime for the contribution plate (just as it fs about to be passed) as if she were à child end is never I.D.consulted a8 to what the family purse(?) : can afford, but to my mind it is à ques tlon how personal Christian responsibility oan be met in this manner.Then some may think that Chrie- tian should rise superior to a matter of dress, but it must be a very spiritually \u2019 mirded woman who can be in a mood | ta recelve the best that she might from the exercises of a Sabbath dar viwn she is conscious that her bonnet Is the same old \u2018hing she has

and intelligent girl, 1s not attir- «4 as the stylish young girls of her axe ; dress in the modern church.So they gradually become indifferent about attending regularly, which they cannot do with relf-res ect.Then where the wife 1s housekeeper, cook ond seamstress, all unaided, it requires quite an effort io plan and arrange everything beforehand.so that all may attend church, even where there are no young children that cannot be left alone, and when the necessary self-sacrifice is made, she is otten no wearied that Instead of being in a receptive frame of mind for the teaching o* the

circumstances, or, at least, give some help and encouragement to one who wishes tc do right.A FERPLEXED PONDERER.Winn\u2018peg, Dec.139 \u2014 THE SENINARY'S WEALTH.Where the Extraordinary and Ordinary Revenues Go.The \u2018Minerve\u2019 publishes another article in reply to the \u2018Globe\u2019s\u2019 charges against the Sulpicians.Taking as a basis the municipal valuations of 1581-88, it shows that $1817.30 were expended out of the special revenue of the Beminary in the construction of churches, chapels, schools, colleges, asylums, etc, and holds that, owing to the Increased value of real estate and the improvements made, these public institutions now represent à capital of about $2,500,000.The writer then goez on to say that such heavy expenditure required a loan, which has now been paid up, but the interest on which amounted to $18,000 in 1876, and KR cannol be supposed that a community hoarding millions {in its vaults, as has been allered, would have been obliged to effect such a lcan.Referring to the ordinary revenue, he holds that it goes to pay for the maintenance of the members of the order, to nelp the poor and to support the different instl- tutions above referred to.These ex- penises are larger than the revenue.Thus for the year 1874-76, the expenses were $147,328.15, and the receipts only $190,000, This shows that the Seminary is mome- times obliged to reduce even its works of charity.The mere item of alms amounts each year to more than $34,000, and If to ths are added the annual charities to asylums and educational æstablishmenta, the whole represents a sum of at least 380,000.The article then refers to the mode of life of the Bul- picians and invites thelr accusers to visit them in thelr rooms.There they will find simplicity itself.No carpeting, no costly furniture, but simply the bare floor and A few images of saints.There are no servants in attendance upcn the individual members, each Sulpician being his own servant and attenling to the wants of his own room.Neverthe less.this Suiptcian is a Seigneur of Montread, very often belongs to some great family in France.The writer closes by stating that the Bulpicians have rendered an account to the prover authorities as often as they are rejuired to do so, and they are still ready ta repeat the operation.Joined to Christ in myatic union, We the members, thou the head, Scaled hy deep and true

monument at Montreal, is a very disagrecable Incident.The perwons concerned were well-known, one of them being a son of Mr.Mercier, the too-esiebratsd ex- Premier of Quebec: and, if the Canadian newspapers are rightly Informed, many other conspirators were parties to the plot.The design was as reckless and as shamefully regardiess of life and property as are all plots which have to do with dynamite; and thes conspirators appear to have cared nothing for the destruction of the whole of the square, sr for the inevitable loss of life, so long an they destroyed the monument of the man whose name |s associated with liritish victories over the Fronch.The presence of young Mercier in the design suggests (hat the political motives of the conspirators may huve been complicated in his case by the wish to avenge his father upon those who hau exposed and disgraced him; but there cau be no doubt that the presence of the Nelson monument in Jacques Cartier square has been long resented by the more Anglophobe of the French population, and suggestions have been made that it should be removed to the English quarter of the town, and set up in Dominion square, giving place to a new statue of Cartier, the French sailor who discovered Montreal and explored the Bt.Lawrence.We offer no opinion 28 to ithe abstract desirability of auch a change, which seems fr itself to be ! fairly reasonable.Quite possibly, 1f | only fair and persuasive means had been employed, the change might have com- i mended ftsell td the city authorities.But dynamite puts all yielding out of the question for the present.No state can tolerate the employment of such means, or can dream of conceding a demand that is urged in such & way.{ The removal of the sintie in postponrd fadefinitely, and, if we are

set people asking how far the bulk of the provinces of Quetec and Montreal are loyal to the Queen, znd irhat is the | extent of the disaffection revealed by i this plot.Accorfing to those who know i the country best, though there is litle or no enthusiasm for ine British connec- | tion, Anglophobla In 1s acute form is a | disease that has not spread very far.It kas its victims chiefly among the jour- nallats of the great tcwne.To say that the French-Canadian har any substantial grievance, is to ray what is not the fact.Greatly attached as he !a to his langusge, his laws, and his religion, he finds them all guaranteed to him.His language, in the Province of Quebec, in officially on an equallty with our own His Church, though not established, protected, and may oven collect tithes by legal process from its voluntary adherents: and bis laws are made either by himself at Quebec or with his consent at Ottawa.\u2018hatever grievance he has, then, im rather sentimental than practical; but no sensible person Is likely to deny that sentimental grievances are sometimes acutely felt, and that they may furnish a real force in polities.The mympathies of tte French- Canadians are inciined to go with France rather than with England wheu- ever there ia tension between the two countries; and lately, for example, when the Biamess question was ecute, the newspapers of Quebec and Montreal made no secret of their preferences.The curious thing is that the France with whom they profess to sympathize.is a France which the large majority of them regard as hopelessly bad, religl- ously and politically.The French- Canadians have not moved on: they remain where they were when Canada was ceded; they have had no They are Catholic and even Royakat: they look with horror upon the \u2018atheism\u2019 and {freemasonry\u2019 of the present regime in France, and would vote to-morrow for the Compte de Paris.All this, however, does not prevent a certain number of them from resenting their position as a part of the Dritish Empire, and from looking out for opportunities to hreak the connection.Bometimes this feeling leads only to a pronouncement in favor of annexation to the United States.such as appears in this month's number of the \u2018Forum\u2019 Sometimes, as during the Mercier trial, it takes the form of a violent newspaper agitation.Now and then it breaks out in something worse, as in this wicked and yet childish con- piracy to destroy the Nelson statue.Jt may be no more than a coincidence, hut {t 1n tmpossible to forget that this last atternpt has been deferred until the accession of Lord Aberdeen as Governor- General.Is !t that the more eager ®irits among the Canadians are determined to try how much can be squeesed out of that amiable nobleman, one of whose chief claims for high office was the seal with which he swallowed Mr.iadstone\u2019s Home Rule policye for Ireland?Canada has long since got home rule: but the methode of the dynamiter are

chemistry is offering & mesns to oblige would-be dynamiters to betray themsclives should they try to carry about hand grenades and cartridges.It is to mix dynamite with certain ssits that give oul a

BOMBAY RIOTS A misstonary of the Methodist Episoo- pal Church in Bombay says: \u2014 Mince the suppression of the riots by the overwhelming military force brought into the city, praiseworthy of- forts have been made confointiy by Gov- srnment officials and recognized leaders of the Hindu and Mohammedan com- | munities to bring about a thoroughly friendly feeling between these hereditary enemies.To this end there have been numerous mass meetings, unked proces slons and mpect gartending ceremonies; and M one were to [Judges by the reported riterances of the chosen spokesmen of both parties, one would suppose that | the hmtchet kas been buried forever.But to all who are measurably familiar with the real {acts of tha situation these well-meant efforts, while not aKogether fruitless of present good effect, furnish no guaranty whatever agzhnst future; outbreaks of religious strife and ve- | vengeful hate.A single spark would suffice at any moment to initiate a widespread conflagration.The police au- thorittes fuliy understand this and know that their attitude for a long time to some dare not be other than that of unceazing vigtiance and thorough preparedness.In regard to the effect of the riots upon Christian mission work in Bombay, I am glad to may that careful enquiry enables me to report that it has not been affected at all injuriously by what took place.With the exception of open-air preaching all mission work has been in uninterrupted full swing.The more public work has been necessarily suspended for a while, the gathering of crowds for any purpose baving been forbidden by the authorities.But the reports from some of our wative Christian preachers are that they have never known such willingness on the part of individunis of both sections uf the population to converse amicably and serlously on relicous matters This is a hopeful and exceedingly suggest've sign.It was very noticeable during the riots that not the silghiest attempt to molest native Christians was made by Hindus or Mohammedans.To be recognized as Christiane invariably secured endangered ones against attack.It uppened more than oùce that as soon as some unfortunate individual was discovered by a pursuing mab to be a Christian, all attempt at violence ceased, and Ire was allowed to depart in peace.We feared that it would have been otherwise\u2014that in their passionate thirst for blood they would wantonly wreak their fury upon our defenceless native Ohriatians.We praise God for 1he mercy vouchsafed in this special direc tion.\u2014~New York \u2018Independent.\u2019 \u2014 AMONG THE

rearked to a friend that be had been \u201ctving on a bit of a lung\u2019 since his youthful days, whan, tn- deed, eminent medical authorities had warned him that be had really only the use of one

was suddenly dierovered tint the building was on fire.Immediately, without confusion, the whole audience retired, and thus averted a calamity.There was only one pall in the building to cary water to put out the fire.Ar.Hammond stepped to the outside oor, and in a loud voice called to every man to go to some house for vater.As It was soma time after Us before the engines arrived, the hearty response to this apparently saved the church from destrue- tion, for the fire had tegun bursting out In one of the aisles.The fire originated from an overheated flue below, Very son the people crowded

prevailed, and no doubt a most serious impression was made.Tn view of the dally increasing 6is- tress fn New York, which, those who are best informed say is greater than has been witnessed since the

abculd be organized to the polls, and the voters, men and women, should have the preemption of the seats.The tamnily dinners would then be eaten with good consciences and cheerful hearts, as well as with heightened appetites and Improved digestion.New Year's duy used to be à sort of Rac- chanalian feast, which was dreaded by she mothers, wives and sisters of mea who wers given to drinking.It %» very fitting that a great protest, a metice of prohibition, should be served upon the liquor traffic on that day of all days In the year.That the pro- hébition maiu-liy will be an immense one everybody believes.Lat every man and woman determine that it shall be larger by ome through his or her action.No one should stay away from the polls because there is sure te be a majority, What ls wanted ts an overwheiming majority.The governments say that publle opinion is not strong enough to secure the enforcement of the law.A big ma- Jority is Decessary to convince them that it is not the

dangerous one, for the individual was apparently « hunter and he might take her faithful charger for a denizen of the forest.\u2018D'\u2014don\u2019t fire\u2019 she managed to gaëp.The quivering voice pussied the hunter, but it was sufficient to satisfy him that the object which etartied his slumbers was not one to shoot at.Still holding his rifte, he called out in a clear voice: \u2018Whose

\u2018I must be a'dreaming.Grasping Helen by the hand and helping her to alight he asked, \u201cWhat 1n the name of old Blll Jones are yo doing here Helen 4d not anawer directly, but asked the man who he was.\u2018Me?My name's Robinson\u2014Tom Robinson.If ye don\u2019t know me, yer brother Stias does.\u2019 The hunter arranged the blankets, which were mpread upon « pile of eoft epruce boughs, and Helen eating her self, told him sll of her wild ride.\u2018But where am 1\u2019 she asked, as Rob- meson handed her a big tin cup of hot tea that he had prepared during the conversation.\u2018Why, ye are not so far away as ye think, me brave lass.This is Rock Pond, just back of my old piace, a little more'n a mile.Ye have been travelling the wrong direction all the time.Poor fellows; but it's too

covered herself with the warm biantet and fell asleep.: CHAPTER III.\u201cWake up, me lass, wake up.\u2019 Helen heard the voice and felt the gentle shake that Tom gave her, but it was with diffsulty that she coulé move a muscle.Her cyes, too, were sore and swolien from weeping and the heat and smoke of the camp fire, At inst, after an effort or two, She sek upright.Tom had evidently been busy attending to her comfort while she slept, for she noticed now that her eyes were wide open, and it was broad day- ight, that he had erected a rough lesn- to of boughs over her that afforded & warm shelter, and warded off the snow that was falling 1x larg, soft flakes.\u2018You have been at work,\u2019 ventured Hein, with a half smile.\u2018Yas, ye veel ken be housemsid when I likes,\u201d

looking for Helen, Griffin, se- companied by Biles.who had become anxious as to his sister's safety, and to go along with the bailiff the necessary formality, it is simost unnecessary to say, to the great indignation of Cathcart and his men.Helen not being there, however, the storm which was fast rising among the (4) poor victims of the sharp moneylender, was for tle t'me averted when 1t became known tast the girl that had tried to do them a good turn was lost.Cathcart was particularly concerned, And half choking with rage at Silas and emotion influenced ty the tender feelings he had for the noble girl, he adjured the men to do their best to find ter, It did nct take much persuasion to get them \u201c» act, and in the quickest pussible time they were out In the woods in all directions, pursuing the search.Cathcart, Silas snd Griffin, with seve- tal of the men struck out for that part of the forest in which Helen had travelled during the night.thinking it probable that ft was there she had lost her way.With hearts made heavy by the occurrences of the morning, the lumbermen scoured the woods for miles around far into the day.\u201c8 6 0.\u201cOnly a Mtte way now\u2019 sid Tom, eacouragingly, to his fair companion, \u2018I see the clearing right yonder, and see, thar's the old house\u2019 pointing to the deserted habitition, the roof of which could now be distinctly meen ever a ridge of underbrush.\u2018I am so glad,\u2019 faltered his companion who was completely exhausted, and found 1t difficuit to keep her place In the saddle.The hardship she had undergone was too much for her, and she was sick and weary both In body and In mind.It was agreed that she should stop fn the old house while Tom went along the road to the nearest settler, for a conveyance to take ber the rest of the way home.When the old log house was reached Tom heiped Helen to slight and they went in.The hunter looksd uround and the tears came to his eyes as they rested upon the simple decorations which hung upon the walls, For the few silent raoments he stood there his m'nd wan dered back to the days when this was his beppy home and he saw his wife and Bessie ns they were then.Bessie was a wee toddler then, and he could sea her coming across the floor in innocent glee, and he felt the childish kiss that was impressed upon his lips.He saw the big three-decker stove, and heard the cracking of the logs that blased merrily within ft.The table was spread with the good things his sweet wife had prepared for him and he kissed her as they mat down to the humble meal, thanking Uod for his goodness.He saw it ali, and & feeling of anguish sprang up in his heast when he thought of the day when he had to leave the old home through the instrumentality of the man who that very moment was hounding men down in the way that he hed hounded him.\u201cBit down here.\u2019 sald Tom, folding up a blanket and laying It on the floor, \u2018Make yourself as comfortable as

pull up somo of the flooring, Row loose and rotten, and prepare a fireplace on the ground.He was busy breaking up some of the flooring for firewood when his eye fehl on a small package of papers, tied with thread, close to the bottom log of the house, just where he had pulled oft the boards.He picked them up and looked at them \u2018critically, ti.rn- ing them over and over.lila curfosity was now fully aroused, and he tore off the thread binding In haste.and trembling wilh suppressed excitement, Jooked decided hed reached Cathcart's camp eariler ictended, and than they hed ni them, It was

doorway, Helen saw several men enter the clearing.A glance todd her it was Lhe search party, for her brother and Catheart were with them., \u2018Here they are,\u2019 she cried.\u2018Who,\u2019 queried Tom.\u2018Biles and the rest.\u2019 \u2018I'm glad of It.\u2019 It was with a scowl om his face that Bas looked through the open doorway of the houses and mw his sister there.\u2018You've given us a pretty tramp,\u2019 he sald, etepping inside followed by the rest of the party.Taking a glance at Tom, he continued, \u2018And pray, who Is this?\u2018Why, don't you know him,\u2019 faltered Helen, at the same time casting a pleading glance at Bob Cathcart, \u2018why that's Tom Robinson who used to live here.He brought me here.\u2019 Blas started at the mention of Tom's name, wondering what ft was that brought him back to the townebip.\u2018Well, what are you doing here?\u201d he said with a sneer, addressing Tom.oats my business,\u2019 the bunter re- pl \u201cIt (a, % it?aad] Sllss, now

keep a civil tongue in yer head\u2019 The men now gathered closer around and listened eagerly, for, up to this point, they had not attached more than ordinary importance to .the quarrel.Tom evidently had a mine to spring upon their oppressor, and they were only too anxious to eee it explodes.What do you mean! Scoundrel r screamed Bilas, his face white with passion.\u2018J mean that yer a perjurer and thar's the proof.\u2019 Tom drew forth the papers he had found under the floor and flourished them in the alr.Thars the proofs\u2019 be repeated triumphantly.The enraged man made a rush as if be uld itke to crush him and no cou would have done tbe hunter bodily narm had the mea not Seized and thrust him back rather forcibly.This treatmert sesmed to bring him to his senses.He saw his position as it really was and concluded that #t would be just as well for his own good to make terms with the

reply.\u201cAnd ye withdraw all proceedings aginst these mea?Tes.\u2019 Tals was emphasized by a cheer from the delighted lumbermen.They shook Tom by the hand and called him a \u2018brick,\u2019 and several other compilmen- tary pames, and all agreed that it was not much a black day after all, Helen felt cad at her brothers bu- millation, yet «ll.had turned out with regard to the poor limbermen as she wished it.They could bave their money for Chrismas and a good Christmas time.And indeed they had.The incidents which preceded it only heiped to heighten their appreciation of the occasion, and a jollier lot of men and a happier lot of wives and children were never seen before or since in the township of Romerset.That was some Christmases ago : yet if you were to go down in that lecality to-day, you would find some of the set- tiers that heiped In the search for Helen Whitewood, and I warrant that if yon were to happen to drop into some of the Bouses about dinner time you would hear some talk of the «vents of that diy over the turkey bones.The incident In the old log house had a good effect upon Silas and be changed his ways tor the better to the relief of the neighborhood and fhe delight of Heien.As for Helen, well, she is down thers too, but if you wish to make her acquaintance don't enquire for Miss Whitewood, but for Mrs.Robt.Cathcart, and I am sure you would think her every bit as sweet as Bob does Tom Robinson came back to the oid place, but built a new and nicer home tor his wife and Bessie, who is a big girl now and teaches in the frame school-house on the road that led to the logging camps.Helen often goes over to mee Tom and never omits call- îng around at Christmas time to talk of the night that she was lost In the woods, \u2018It was lucky for me that |

that has just been heard before the aw courts of that country, are ral to the dignity of passengers, If their owners choose to take them Into a rallway carriages with themselves.The point on which .pin- fons differed has lust been settiad, the question brought under the notice of the law courts being whether à dog whose master has duly taken 8 ticket for him is entitled to a Beat.ur whether his rights be limited to a place on the floor of the compartment, at ihe feet of the human occupants, A sportsman, we read, was not long ago travelling in Belgium with his dog, a fine retriever, whose place had been paid for.However, in spite of this, there being a station on the lime.no room for a traveller, & raliway employees turned the âox vff htu seat, Probably the dog's feelings were not hurt, but his master protested indignantly, and suhsequently ap- pesled to the administration of the state railways fof a decision on the subject.It has been giver, and is in favor of the dow, 11 being decreed that he js as much entitled to à seat se his master, and that where a compartm nt has room for ten passengers.and there happen to be five men and five dogs there În, ft must be

majority gives a verdict guilty, not guilty or not proven.If either of the last two verdicts is given the accused 's set free.The first witness called to-day wes Dr.Matthew Hay, professor of the mediuai department n° the Aberdeen university.He testified as to the results of exneriments he had made with two guns, one of iwenty and tbe other of twelve bore.These experimonts were made on skins and the bodies of horses.Dr.Hay sald that he had viett- od Ardlamont and examined the shot marks on Lhe trees In the covert where the body of Lieut.Hambrough was found.In bis opinion these marks were two or three months oid at the time he examined them.Bome of them wers covered with a partial growth of bark.His visit was made five weeks after Lieut.Hambrough's death.He thought the shot marks were in no way connected with the fatality.He concluded from his observations that the wpread of ihe ahot among the trees was by à run that had been fired from a point 1ilty or sixty feet away.The Read of the shot would have been re- diced if they had first struck & head \u2018The inference of the witnesses for che Crown that the shot md been fired from A point twenty-two feet distant was worthless.The withem sald he was unable to reconcile the position fn which the body was said to have been found with the theory that Lieut.Hambdgough had bees shot frem a gap in the hedge, for the body would fall In a contrary direction from the hedge, and the head would have heen where the fest were.The bleeding from a it wound was slow.It would .ben pom\u2019 to have carried the without the clothing, The of

the de.censed.\u2018There were many attitudes In which & was quite pomsible for the accident to have happened.The witness produced photogruphs showing persons holding & gun in the right hand in à manner that if the gun was discharged it would have produced a wound almélar to that which killed Lleut.Hambrough, It was possible, Dr.Hay said, that the accident had been caused by ldeut.Hamubrough attempting to Jump across the éltch, the hammer of bis gun etrik- ing the w behind him.An examina- thon of the skull and experiments show thal the muxxle of the gun might have beent at any distance from a few inches to four from the head of the deceased.A shot fired from a twelve-bors gun at a distance of a foot had produced a wound similar to that which killed Lieut, Hambrough.It was quite possible that a gun could be fired et à mark nine feet distant without there being detached disposition of Lhe shot, From the hulk of probable causes \u201ca would conclude that death had been caused by the gun Lieut.Hambrough carried.Upon cross-examination, Dr.Hay admitted that he drew his conclusions from Information given him by Dr.Ste- vena, factor of the Ardlamont estate, respecting the position of the body.When the witness was at Anrdlamoat he fours no trace of where the body wes eup- posed to have been.Neither did he find any trace of blood.\u201cXCT raovEN', Bdindurgh, Dec.21

case.Rdinburgh, Dec.:3.\u2014The argument im the Monsen case was concluded to-day and the case given to the jury.In his address to them, Lord Justice Clerk 211d that In 18 the Moneohs were practically without means He proceeded to refer to the extraordinary proposal of Lieutenant Hambrough to form a partnership with Sebright, which, he said, showed the absurd notions of the deceased respecting ihe largeness of the estate which he would (inherit.The neat episode touched upon was the obtaining of a judgment against Lisuten- ant Hambrough at the instance of Mrs.Monson, and ts sale to Tottenham, at & quarter of its value.Monson had deceived Tottenham !n respect of taking the Ardlamunt shooting in the letier of July 3, when he stated that he had completed the lease, whereas no negotiations had taken place His object evidently was to induce Totlenham to \"nd him £250, nominally to pay the deposit, but really to provide an lnsur- ance premium.After referring to other details of the Ardlamont lease, the Judge sald that up to that stage the story was à sad one of untruthfuiness and dishonesty, Monson's affairs from thin time were in a desperate condition.He walted to carry out the purchase of the lite im.terevta.It had been proved that Mon- son was aware that the nasignation of the insurance would be absolutely worthless if Hambrough died before he reached his majority.If the ques tion of motive were displaced, or if iT were doubtful, the evidence was enormously in the prisoner's favor.After Lord Justice Clerk had finished the case was given to the jury and they retired for

THESE DROWNING ONILDUEX.Hatifax, N.&, Dec.18.\u2014A quadruple drowning accident occurred on Chocolate about three miles from this city, fternoon.A lot of boys and girle been skating on the lake for several days past, but the weather has bean very mild and the ice graulunlly grew wenker.This afternoon Mary Doyle, aged 20; her brothers, James, 13 years old, and Johnnie, 12 children of Peter Doyle, quarryman, and Charles Neal, 16, a hoy from the Indus.cial Behool, who works in the shovel factory near the lake, went on the ire to skate, They had scarcely covered (weniy yards when the ice broke and «!l four disappedred in the water and were moon carried under by tha current.Mrs.Doyle, mother of the first three mentioned atove, saw the catastrophe, and frantically rushed to try to save some of her children.She also got beyond her depth and wan only saved by the herole conduct of her ttle daughter, nine years old, who bravely went out on the rotten fice, reached the pole to her drowning mother and pulled her to land.The mother In almost crazed with grief and suffers from her tmaversion in the loy water, The alarm soon apresd, grappling irons were procured and the bodies of the three Doyles recovered.Neal's body has not yet been fcirnd.Exaggerated reports were current of six having been dscwmed and quite à number from the a drove out to the scene of the cala- ve \u2014\u2014 SUCCEEDS LIEUT.-GOVERNOR BOYD, JUDGE FRASER MADE LIEUTBNANT-GOYERNOR OF NEW BRUNEWICE\u2014NIS CARREE Ottawa, Dec.0.\u2014At yesterday's Cabinet Council, Judge Fraser was appoint od Lisut.-Governor of New Brunswick, and Mr.Barker, ex-M.P.of Bt.John's, te succeed Judge Fraser on the Mench of the Supreme Court of New Brunswick.The new Lieutenant-Governer is a son of the Mte Mr.John Fraser, a native of Inverneesshire, Scotland, who came to Nova Beotla in 1808, and in 113 removed to Miramichl.Judge Fraser was born at Miramichi, Aug.L 159, and educated at the Newcastle Grammar school.He was called to the lier in 162 and created a Q.C.in 1873.He sat for York in the Locsl Legislature from 1986 until the general elections In 1866, when he was defemied.He was Fiven a seat in the Legislative Council in 1870, and sat there until 1872, when he resigned to contest York county.He was successful and was re-elected at the general elections in 1574 and 1878.Me was president of the Executive Courftil from June 2, 1871, vntil July, 1878, when he was appointed to the offices ef Provfhciai Becretary and Re- ceiver-General, which he held until June, 1878, whem he became Attorney- General and Premier.Judge Fraser has a receat history ret the lens interesting in view of the reward now given to him.It was he who the Moncten \u2018Transcript\u2019 accused of drunkenn-ss on the bench for which accusation Mr.J.T.Hawke was summoned for contempt of court and sent to jail As Lieutenant-Governor Mr.Fraser will possess ne such arbitrary power te muszia the press.In the York county election cases two years ago.Judge Fraser fixed a day for the trial of the petition against the return of the Conservative member, Mr.Temple.Subsequently an appeal was taken to the full court to quash the trial on the ground that the date fixed by Judge Fraser was beyond the legul limit.The court quaghed the trial and dismissed the petition and Judge Fraser concurred thus reversing his own decision.The object of the whole thing was 80 plain- 1y partisan and served the Ottawa Gov- emment so well that Mr.Fraser's reward is not surprising.The principle of rewarding Judges with political offices will appear objectionable to any thoughtful person.Mr.F.Barker, Q.C., who has been ap- pa'nted puisne judge of the New Brunswick Supreme Court, belongs to one ot the old families tn St.John and is highly respected.He was elected to the House of Commons for the city of St.John to fill the vacancy caused by the appointment of Bir Leonard Tilley as Lieuten- ant-Governor in 1885 or 1888.Fredericton, Dec.2,\u2014Mr, J.J.McGee, clerk of the Privy Counctl of Canada, arrived this afternoon and drove Immediately to the residence of the Hon.J.J.Fraser, where be was received by Judge Tuck and a few friends, after which Mr, McGee presented the documents te Judge Tuck and swore in Mr.Fraser a8 Governor of New Brunswick.\u2018The ceremony was performed in private ewing to the lilness of Mr, Fraser.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL.Baltimere, Md., Dec.15.\u2014The Pope's latest encyclical, dated Roms, Nov.1% 138, bad been received by Cardinal Gibbons In summarizing it the, cardinal said:\u2014 It strongly recommends the study of the sacred Scriptures to clergymen and students and the study of eastern languages, those in which the text was originally written, with a view to \u2018he better understanding of the text of the Scriptures, in order to meet the objections of adversaries of the Scriptures.The encyclical is entitled \u2018On the Study of the Holy Scripture,\u2019 and ft starts trom the Catholic view that supernatural revelation is vouchsafed to mankind, both in unwritten tradition and in Holy Scripture\u2014that Is to may, \u2018books composed under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, whose author Is the Lord, and which ne such were given to the Church itxelf,\u2019 as contained in the Old and New Testaments.About twenty pages are filled with special regulations and provisions for the searching of the Scriptures in the Cutilic schools, sca- demies and seminaries, \u2018according to the requirements of the times and the importance of this department of study.\u2019 The Pope counsels a more prudent and careful selection in the choice of the teachers and professors of this important discipline.He thes lays down certain detailed rules for
