respecting the incorporation of benevolent societies, national societies, trades unions and labor societies; to amend the law concerning the liquidation of building societies.Unfortunately Mr.Auge was absent from the House, and the nature of these measures was not explained.Mr.Dechene was informed that the Gov- ermnent had no intention of giving pecuniary aid to the maple sugar industry.Mr.Duplessis\u2019 bill to have the provincial voters\u2019 lists revised in September instead of in March was read a third time and passed.UNFAIR COMPARISON.On motion to go into supply, Mr.Marchand called the attention of the House to the manner in which the estim- ales was made out this year.Appropriations, special warrants, and supplementary estimates were all crowded into one column and added up together.The total was given as the \u2018\u2018estimates\u201d of 1891-92, the Government taking the credit of showing lower figures by comparing their estimate for next year with the whole amount spent during the one now current.This system was dangerous, and liable to lead the public into error, as the estimates of thepresent Government were really higher than those of Mr.Shehyn\u2019s, Mr.Hall said that the Mercier Government was in the habit of estimating only pue half of the expenditure; the comparison, he thought, was therefore fair.He had followed the method of Mr.Robertson.There was no rule of the House against it.Mr.Marchand\u2014You are mistaken there.On the 14th June, 1886, a resolution was passed by this House adopting Mr.Shehyn\u2019s method tor the arrangement of all public accounts.The details were more easily got at by this method.Mr.Hall\u2014I have no objection whatever to give all possible details, and am ready to conform myself to the ruies of the House, but what the House wants is the total sum.Mr.Marchand\u2014Perhans;but the Treasur- sr must admit that the comparison made was not fuir one.There was a vast difference between cstimates and expenditures.Mr.Hall\u2014-There will not be under this Government.The House then went into committe and rep erted a number of items, a few remarks Of no very great importance being passed pon each.The most important vote was shat of $203,507 being the statutory amount voted for salaries.INCREASED SALARIES.Myr.Marchand expressed his surprise hat this amount should be higher under the present economical Government than ander the extravagant Mercier regime, in spite of the innumerable dismissals made.The increase was $3,050.He wished to know the reason.Mr.Hall said at first that the increase came solely from the statutory increase in salaries, but on being pressed, he and Mr.Beaubien admitted that Mr.Barnard\u2019s salary had been increased from $1,600 to $1,800 without statutory provision.It is said also that a special grant of $1,000 has been placed in the estimates in connection with agricultural lectures, to be given by officials belonging to Mr.Barnard\u2019s branch.À few private bills were referred to committee, and the House adjourned at 6, EXPRESS ROBBER PERRY.He Is Mad at the District Attorney and Will Give Them Trouble.Lyoxs, N, Y., May 19.\u2014The grand jury, after two days of hard work during which time 40 witness were examined, have completed their investigation in the case of Oliver Curtis Perry, of express train robbery fame.Their .task was finished last evening.Miss Haswell, Perry\u2019s missionary friend from Troy, \u201cappeared and testified, afterwards calling on Perry, who was very angry at the district attorney for calling upon his friend and compelling her to come this distance to give testimony.He says he will now make all the trouble he can, and will plead not guilty and let the Pinkertons furnish the evidence, Oliver Curtis Perry, the Lyons train robber, pleaded guilty to five counts on four indictments agaiust him at Lyons this afternoon.Judge William Ramsay at once sentenced Perry to 49 years and three months\u2019 Inprisenment at Auburn state prison.NORTH PERTH IS TRUE.Nr.Grieve Returned to the Commons by an Increased Majority.S'TRATFORD, Ont., May 19.\u2014The election in North Perth to-day to fill the vacancy created in the Dominion Parliament by his ing unseated, Mr.James Grieve;

On thesc terms you will and do get nothing.If you intend to hold your own in this coniiict of tariffs you must be prepared to refuse nations who injure you access to your markets.We complain most of the United States, and it so happens that the United States mainly furnishes us with articles which are essential to the good of the people, and with raw material which is essenlial to our manufacturers.We cannot exclude cither without serious injury to curselves.I am not prepared, in order to punish other countries, to inflict dangerous wounds on ourselves.We mest confine ourselves to those matters wherein we shall not suffer much whether importations continue or diminish.While we cammob rais, the price of food and raw material, there is an enormous mass of imports, sach as wine, spirits, silk, gloves and laces from countries besides the United States, which are merely luxuries, and of whichadiminish- \u201ccd consumption could be risked in order to secure access Lo the markets of our ncigh- bors.I shall expect to be excominunicated for propounding such a doctrine, but I am bound to say that 1 think the free traders have gone too far.WITH FEARFUL VIOLENCE.A Ilurvicane Swecps Over Mauritius, Dealing Death and Destruction on all Sides.Loxpon, May 19.\u2014Advices from Mauritius state that a hurricane unprecedented in violenes passed over tha! island on April 29, causing enormous damage to shipping.A mojority of the vessels at the island were blown ashore.The western half of Port Luis, the capital, was devastated.Houses were blown down, gigantic trees were uy.rooted, and that port of the town was about wiped out of existence.The loss of life was appalling.A large number of persons were caught in tlie falling houses aud crushed to death, while others lost tleir ives by flying debris while they were attempting to scek places of safety.The roar of the gale wus deafening and people rushed to and fro in great confasion, with no idea of what they were doing.Rain fell in torrents.* The thunder crashed with awe-inepiring volleys, of lightning \u201cvere blinding.Never before in the history of the island hus such a warring of the clements been known and never was there such widespread fear among the inhabitants.The exact number of dead is not known.Every effort is being made by the authorities to alleviate tbe suffering that las been caused by the disaster.The governor has issned orders for military tents to be distributed to shelter the homeless aud food is issued to those who have lost everything by the storm\u2019 Half of the crops of rice, collce and pepper were nearly ruined and the loss in this direction is extremely heavy THE CRIME OF MR.DEACON, Alexander Dumas Expresses His Views on _ the Present Situation.Parts, May 19.\u2014As the date set for the trial of Edward Parker Deacon for the shooting of M.Abeille approaches, public interest in the case is revived and all the facts ave discussed with avidity with many persons, who are interested solely because Mr.Deacon is an American and Abeille was a Frenchman, Alexander Dumas has written a letter, in which he reminds Mr.Deacon that the divorce law has existed in France for the past decade.The crime, M.Dumas holds, was without legal excuse.He does not, however, insist that Mr.Deacon should be condemned for his crime, if juries are really resolved not to aga\u2019n condemn a prisoner for an offence of that character; but, he says, for the sake of principle, Mr.Deacon might be condemned under thie Beranger law.He points out that if Mr.Deacon was convicted under this law he would only be obliged to undergo his sentcnce in the event of his repeating his offence.\u2018This would be equivalent to acquitlal, for the records do not mention killing a second lover of his wife.Dumas adds that the husband would thus be warned that they have only the right to repudiate unfaithtul wives, and if they shed blood they are liable to be dealt with as ordinary assassins.JAMES R.0SGOOD.His Long Identification With the Publishing Interests of London.Loxpox, May 19.\u2014James R.Osgood, the publisher, is dead.Mr.Osgood, who was the head of the London publishing firm of Osgood.Mc- Ilvaine & Co., is a name of the pleasant association in the publishing world, with which he has long been identified.His personal and business relations brought him into close connection with many of the foremost American and English authors of this generation\u2014among them Emerson, Dickens, Hawthorne, Tennyson, Thackeray, Longfellow, Bryant, Browning, Whittier, Holmes, Lowell, Mrs.Stowe, Bayard, Taylor, Bret Harte.Howells, Charles Reade and others.For several years Mr.Osgood resided in London as the agent for Harper & Brothers.He possessed in inarked degree those literary tastes, accomplishments and experience, now characteristic of eminent publishers.GUARDING IT AS A TREASURE.Stratford-on-Avon People Don\u2019t Want to Lose Their Historic Buildings.Loxvox, May 19.\u2014A despatch from Stratford-on-Avon says that at their meeting vesterday the Shakespeare birthplace trustees confirm the purchase of Arne Hathaway's cottage, in order to prevent the historic building from going to the world\u2019s fair at Chicago.With the same object in view they also empowered the committee having the matter in hand to purchase the furniture which the cottage contained.The removal of the cottage would undoubtedly prove a serious loss to Stratford-on-Avon.Six thousand Americans alone visited the place during 189), The trustees paid $15,- 000 to retain the cottage, being $3,000 more than the sum offered by the American bidders, while the flashes | XCITING SCENES.Hot Words Indulged in by Parliamentarians.Liberals Again Forcibly Protest Against the Manner in Which the Government is Wasting Money\u2014Disgraceful Actions of the Occupants of the Government Back Benches\u2014The Liberals Refuse to Give in, Orrawa, May 19.\u2014Disgraceful scenes were enacted in the House to-night on the part of the occupants of the Government back benches.In the early part of the day fair progress was made on the criminal code, after which the House went into committee on supply and the Liberals again protested against the flagrant manner in which bribes were shamelessly dealt out with a lavish hand from the public treasury.The Laprairie post office item was passed after many Liberal protests, after which they as vigorously opposed the St.Hemi post ofiice item.It was during the discussion on this that the scenes spoken of took place.Hot words were hurled across the tioor of the House by several members, and at 2 o'clock it looked as though the tight would continue several hours.Inmunediately after routine the louse went again into committee on the criminal code.The clause respecting the unluwiul use and possesion of explosivesubstanceand offensive weapons were adopted with slight amendments.The maxiioum penalty for a smuggler carrying oflensive weapons was made 10 years\u2019 imprisonment instead of life.Un clause 106, which forbids the carrying of a pisiol, a plea avas made by scveral members for doctors and other professional men who ave compelied to Le out late at night, hut the committee declined to alter the clause.SEDITIOUS INTENTIONS.On clause 122, defining seditious intentions, Mr.Davis protested against passing any such legislation, If it were carried it might be possible to imprison the whole of the Opposition.Sir John Thowpson\u2014I'm sorry to say the bill doesn\u2019t cover vhat.(Laughier.) Mr.Mills pronounced the proposal as wholly contrary to the spirit of the age.It would prevent free criticisin of any acts of the Governmiens and would forbid tle people expressing their indignation at any unjust legislation carried by the force of a majority.The proposal was not legislation in the interests of à Irec peopie, but was retrograde and contrary Lo the constitution.prevent great harin to the commonwealth by remanung a dead letter.2 of the clause completely safeguarded the interests of politicians and all who desired to ciiticize the management of the «day.There was no need for alarm.Mr.Mulock added his protest to the clause as an invasion of the rights of popular speech.He pointed out that Lord Salisbury had, by lis recent speecn advocating rebellion in Ulster in the event of home rule being granted, brought himseli under the operations of the clause, which the Minister of Justice suid was now part of the law of England.He declared that he would divide the.House upon this clause at a later stgge, for a pubiic man condemning the action of any cabinet minister would be rendered liable to being hauled to prison.Hon.Mr.Davies asked why Canadashould pass this legislation, subversive of the popular liberty sunply on the recommendation of three British judges, even if they were so eminent as those who had drawn up thiscode.The clause would hamper the liberties which the Canadian people have hitherto enjoyed, and which they haue not abused.He urged that the House should not change the law on the subject.Sir John Thompson, in reply, repeated his argument that the public liberty was uot endangered, and asked that the clause stand over for further consideration, Mr.Mulock, rising again, declared that the clause would injure the working classes so seriously as to hamper free speech.He expected that the labor organizations would protest against this proposal.The clause stood.LIDELS ON SOVEREIGNS.Clause 24 concerning libels on foreign sovereigns was objected to by Mr.Flint as an invasion of the liberty of the press, The Minister explained that it was a copy of the English law, whereon Mr.Davies urged that it was not necessary in Canada and moreover if passed, should not be passed.The clause was passed.Clause 125 in reference to the publication of false news was held over for amendment.Hon.Mr.Davies strongly urged that it should be climinated altogether, as its passage would serve no good interest, but the minister insisted on the clause standing, as the sub- committeedesired to propose an amendment.On clause 181 providing for the punishment of corruption by officers of justice who accept bribes or other favors.Mr.Davies urged that the provision should be made for members of Parliament or of the Legislature guilty of such offence.The minister pro- imised to consider the snggestion.On the clause providing for the punishment of corrupt practices in municipal affairs, Mr.Masson suggested that it should be amended so as to cover the cases of members of Parliament and the Provincial Legislatures.It was agreed tq insert a new clause on the subject at a later stage.SELLING OF OFFICES.A new clause was added declaring it to be an indictable offence to sell or agree to sell any appointment to or resignation of any office, or any consent to any such appointment or resignation, or to receive any reward or profit from the sale thereof, or to purchase or give any reward or profit for the purchase of any such appointment or resignation, or to receive or give any reward or profit for any office, or to negotiate for any such appointment with hope of reward or profit.The clause extends to every ~office within the gift of the Crown, every officer appointed by the Crown, to all commissioners, civil, naval or military, and to all places of employment in any public department or office, and it provides that in \u201caddition to any other penalty incurred the offender shall forfeit any right which he may have iu the office, and shall be disabled for life from holding the same.This will prevent a repetition of the scandal of selling such as took place in Fast Northumberland and was investigated by parliament last year.LAPRAIRIE POST-OFFICE AGAIN.The committee passed some clauses and then reported, whereupon the House went into committee of supply, again taking up the consideration of the item for the Laprairie Post office.The Opposition continued their fight in protest against the job which the Government is perpetrating in Laprairie.Mr.Pelletier attempted to defend the vote by stating that the work was pro- jected two years before his election, It could only Slr Joan Thompson declared that section\u2019 but his argument only added to the force of the Opposition protest, for it proved that the offer of the bribe of the post office had been sufficient to seduce the allegiance of Laprairie from the Liberals.Mr.Choquette made a strong protest against the principle involved, and then Col.O\u2019Brien put a shot into the ministerial locker by expressing a sincere hope that no such grants would ever be given in future, ¢ agreed that it was of a kind which should never have beengiven, and hetrusted that the Government would not continue the system of Eiving grants of this kind to small places to which they were not entitled, These grants were, he said, bad in every respect, bad in thuir conception and calculated to bring the legislation of the country into contempt.Thisdeclarationfrom Col.Ô\u2019Brienaroused the ire of Mr.Dupont, who declared that it was due to Ontario's oppositiôn to Quebec having its proper share of the public build- mys, an argument which brought on a very lively spat between Mr.Dupont and Mr.Choquette as to the relative merits of the contentions of the two parties, in which Mr.Choquette came out victorious.About 11.30 Mr.Lowell, the new member for Welland, made his maiden speech, and an excellent one it was, for he adduced as good argument in support of the Oppositions contention by proving that the tories had in the recent by-elections consistently used the \u201cGet something for the county ery.\u201d ITS HISTORICAL WORTH.Mr.Brown, of Chateauguay, declared that if the Minister of Public Works was to commemorate every \u2018historical spot by a public building, then Chateauguay was entitled to à public building, for it was as historic a spot as there was in Canada.He put a question to Mr.Ouimet, but the minister was nov in his place, whereupon Mr.Lister advised, \u2018Wait until he comes.\u201d Mr.Ryckman\u2014¢ We'll stay with you as long ag you like.\u201d Dr.Landerkin\u2014Perhaps some of the junior members of the Cabinet can answer.The Finance Minister tried to have the item carried, but Mr.Lister declined to allow it, and during the wrangle Mr.Ouimet came in.He was greeted with the remark from Mr.Bowell \u2018\u2018you musn\u2019t go out unless you leave a substitute.\u201d Mr.Lister\u2014No, unless he leaves à competent substitute.After some further discussion the La- prairie item was carried.The fight was renewed over the item of $19,000 for the St.Henri post office, because of the minister's statement that the contractors had refused to carry on the work, and that new contracts would have to be called for.Mr.Lister protested against the prostitution of power involved in these grants, and declared it was like pouring water on a duck\u2019s head to endeavor to impress the Government.Mr.Ouimet\u2014It takes you long to impress the public.Mr.Lister\u2014You had an example to-day of public opinion.Mr.Ouimet\u2014You are apparently very glad to hold North Perth.Mr.Lister\u2014Yes, for we know that the Secretary of State was there with the boodle, and we know what that means.We had our inajority there increased, notwithstanding the subscriptions of certain senators end the dishonest campaigning of the Government.Mr.Mulock pointed out that while the Government.was refusing to do justice to the letter carriers of the country, and were dismissing railway employes, because they were bound to carry out their election bribes, DISGRACEFUL SCENES.About 12.80 a.m., Mr.Macmillan, of Huron, rose to speak, but the Ministerialists had evidently determined that no one should be heard, for the myrmidons on the back benches began an uproar beyond which it was impossible to hear a word.Mr.Lister, as a protest, moved that the committee rise, but his proposal was rejected by 58 to 33.Then Mr.Macmillan endeavored to resume speaking, but the uproar was continued, and pandemonium reigned supreme.The Tory back benchers refused to be controlled, and ministers roared with laughter at the shameful conduct of their followers.Mr.MacMillan would not, however, be silenced by the brute majority, and after half an hour\u2019s struggle with the unruly element proceeded with his protest against the Government\u2019s policy.Mr.Devlin endeavored to continue the discussion in English, but the uproar was renewed, and so Mr.Devlin said, \u2018\u201c IÏ you won\u2019t listen to me in English, I will speak in French,\u201d and speak in French he did.Mr.Corby made what he called the appeal of a business man to get down to business, and declared that \u2018\u2018 he and the boys\u201d were prepared to stay for six months if necessary.He also taunted Mr.McMillan with having spoken Gaelic, which brought that sturdy Scotchman to his feet to hotly resent the imputation upon his countrymen.The passages-at-arms between the two, cheered on as they were by their respective partizans, were as lively as ever seen in the House, and caused considerable hot feeling.Mr.Lister renewed the excitement by declaring that even if the session lasted for a whole year the Opposition would not allow a single cent to be added to the $1000 indemnity.The members were given that sum to do their work nnd should do it notwithstanding the attempt of the Conservatives to get it increased.SOME HOT WORDS.Things had calmed down somewhat when Dr.Sproule revived the tempest taunting Mr.Lister with being absent the first half of the session.Mr.Lister said warmly ; \u201cIf I were outside the house I would say it was a deliberate falsehood.\u201d .Dr.Sproule rose indignantly and shouted: \u201cI neither care for you outside or in the lobby, here or elsewhere.\u201d An enormous uproar followed, admist which Mr.Lister was heard to say; \u201cNeither your threats or your blasphemy will affect me.You are utterly despised even among your own fellows.\u201d The uproar continued for many minutes later, but nothing that was said could be heard above the din.The spectacle was as disgraceful as was ever seen in any Parliament.Personalities flew across the floor so rapidly that they could not be answered and\u2018it was without avail for the chairman to appeal for order, for the best presiding officer in the world could not have calmed the row.A few minutes before two o\u2019clock Mr.Toy- lor accepted Mr.Lister's challenge and declared that the ministeralists were just as willing to stay here for months as were the Opposition, and were just as ready to work without any extra indemnity.Whereon dr.Lister retaliated by complaining that the Government had delayed the bringing dewn of its business until the third month of the session and then expected measures to be pushed through.The committee was still in session at 2 a.m.with every prospect of sitting for several hours.MARINE INTELLIGENCE, Movements of Ocean

With an Axe.Honorine Godin, aged 18, the Only baugnter of a Widow, the Victim\u2014Treffle Laquerre the Man who Committed the Crime\u2014The Terrible Deed was Committed at St.Casi~ mir, in the Quebec District, QUEBEC, May 19.\u2014Six foul murders have been committed in the County of Portneuf within the last five years.Everyone remembers the case of Ralph Dubois, who murdered four members of his family in 1890 and was hanged.Some time previous one Perreault was murdered by a man named Marcotte.These crimes were committed at St.Albans, Portneuf.The last was perpetrated at seven o'clock yesterday evening in the adjoining parish of St.Casimir.A man named Treffle Laguerre struck down with an axe a young girl named Honorine Godin, who now lies dying in her mother\u2019s house.THE CIRCUMSTANCES, The circumstances of the crime are given ag follows: Towards 6.30 p.m.Laquerre entered the farm-house of Widow Plileus Godin and commenced to converse wiun Honorine Godin and two young girl friends of hers who happened to be present.The three girls were dressed ready to attend service held every evening in the church, and invited young Laquerre to accompany them, He was in a sulky mood at the time, but nevertheless consented, and all four went out of the house together.When the road was reached the three girls, including Miss Godin, walked together, while Laguerre lagged a short distance behind.While passing a neighbor's house Laguerre noticed an axe lying on the ground, which he picked up unseen by the girls, who were proceeding along unsuspectingly.He crept up behind Miss Godin and struck her ACROSS THE HEAD with the axe felling her to the ground.Her two companions rushed to her assistance, and the cowardly scoundrel threw down the the weapon and made off across the fields in the direction of the hush.The girl was bleeding profusely from the back of her head ; she was lifted up by some neighbors and carried into the nearest house.The priest and physician were immediately sent for and the last rites of the church administered.The doctor afterwards arrived and did what he could, but he shook his head gravely and feared the blow was fatal.PLACED UNDER ARREST.By this time a large number of the parishioners had congregated on the scene,and among them J.Langlois, the parish bailiff.The latter pursued the murderer and found him hiding in a small bush near by.He was taken into custody, brought to Quebec this morning and handed over to the care of the Provincial olice.At ten o'clock the prisoner was brought to the Police court, of where he admitted his crime, and said that he wassorry he had not finished her.He was afterwards committed to gaol pending results and an investigation.VICTIM AND PRISONER.The victim of the probably fatal assault is a young girl, aged 18 years only, daughter of a respectable pooc widow, Mrs.Philea Godin, and highly spoken of by the ress dents of St Casimir for her gool- and gentle disposition.Laquerre is crank of sullen and dangerous disposia tion.Ie spent most gof his life in the- woods hunting and fishing, and used to pay his addresses to Miss Godin, his victim.Last summer he went out hunting and later on was found lying near the railway track close to Grondines station, unconscious and shot through the jaw.Dy careful attention he recovered, when he explained that his gun accidentally exploded although it was supposed at the time that he had attempted to commit suicide.He afterwards renewed his attentions to Miss Godin and proposed marriage, but she rejected him.He continued to importune the girl with bis attentions.Meantime another young man came upon the scene who seemed to meet with Miss Godin's favor.This made the prisoner jealous and evidently greatly enraged him.In two weeks Miss Godin was to have been married with the new suitor and no doubt this is what caused Laguerre to commit the foul deed.OFFICIALS TAKE ACTION.High Constable Gale and Coroner Belleau left by the 1.15 train for St.Casimir to ascertain the condition of the young girl and get further particulars.St.Casimir is an inland parish in Portneuf county, some five miles distant from the nearest station,Gron- dines.Judge Murray and Mr.G.St.Pierre, of the Police court, went to take the dying girl's deposition.The prisoner in, charge of a strong guard, was also taken up.St.Joseph's Union Officers.At the first meeting of the St.Josephs union, of St.Henri, in the new hall of the college in that municipality the annual election of officers took place, with the following results : L.E.D.Papineau, presidont ; J.Trudel, first vice-president ; A.Mont- briand, second vice-president; Joseph Chartrand, secretary; J.B.Daquin, assistant secretary ; J.E.Hebert, corresponding secretary; G.O.Messier,

F.St.Germain, J.Aubin, and C.Dominique.The Health Committee.The Health committee held a short sitting yesterday afternoon to consider the applications for the position of Sanitary En- gincer.There were eight applications from the following candidates: J.if.Lefebvre, C.E.; L.J.C.Chausse, architect ; Mr.S.F.Nicholls, Peter C.Ogilvi, plumber ; Wm.Murphy, plumber ; Wi, Keys, J.Hayes, C.E.; and E.Boulanger, C.E.These applications were referred to the following sub-committee : Ald, Germain, Beausoleil, and Clendinneng, who are authorized to receive any applications that may be sent in.Ald.Clendinneng thought the best way to settle the appointments was to draw lots for it, as this seemed to be the rule for civic appointments now.On Tuesday,24th inst.(Queen\u2019s Birthday), the wicket of the Post office and Receiving houses will be closed at 10 a.m.The afternoon outgoing mails will close at the same time, and the night mails at the usual hours.A woman died suddenly at her

title role.The performance is under the patronage of Sir Donald A.Smith and Lady Smith, and the Mayor and Mrs.McShane, and will be repeated at the matinee and on Saturday evening.Miss Edith Hamilton is an old favorite in Montreal, and it is safe to predict that for the three performances seats will be at a premium.The performances will be given in aid of the General, Notre Dame and the Western hospitals, which should be an additional inducement to the citizens of Montreal to lend their patronage.5 \u201cTHE INDIAN MAIL CARRIER.\u201d The attraction at the Theatre Royal next week, will be

CONCERT.Hancock Post No.106,G.A.R.,of Montreal, celebrated their second anniversary bya concert and social in their rooms on St.James street last night.The old veterans were there in great number, and as the stirring songs, \u2018\u2018Marching Through Georgia,\u201d \u201cTenting on the old Camp Ground,\u201d and other war melodies wuvre sung, the old spirit seemed to revive, and the hall rang with the aged melodies.Mr.Alex.Schille ogcupied the chair, and with a very few appropriate remarks introduced the various numbers on the program.The young lady who deserves most credit for having arranged the musical part of the entertainment is Miss J.Rielly.Miss Rielly is a pianist of great ability, and her work last night entitles her to take a place in the'front rank of Montreal accom.panyists.The speeches of the evening were made by Mr.John W.Bagbey, of Tennessee; Mr.Norris and Captain Lon.drigan, and it is needless to say that] they wcre all tinted with that enthusiasm so becoming to those who spent many months of their lives in the great American war.All the numbers on the program were faithfully carried out by the following ladies and gentlemen : Miss Moore, Miss

railway crossing at Hibernia road, at 2.35 o'clock.yesterday afternoon.Patrick Deegan, aged 17 years, the son of Captain Deegan of No.15 fire station, attempted to board a passing train.As he jumped on the step of a car, he missed his footing, and loseing the hold that he had caught of the hand rail, he fell beneath the wheels and two of the cars passed over his legs just below the knees, mutilating them in a shocking manner.The unfortunate young man never lost consciousness and he was evenable to sit on therailsafter the accident and direct that his father and mother be notified.The ambulance of the General \u201chospital was summoned and the sufferer was removed to that institution where the parents soon joined him.The physicians recognizing that young Deegan was too weak from loss of blood to stand amputation of the limbs, they did all in their power to preven{ further hemorrhage.The poor young fellow, who notwithstanding, his terrible injuries, retained consciousness, conversed with his parents until a few moments before his death, which came to his relief at twen- ty-five minutes after seven.The parents, who were overcome with grief at the misfortune that had come t« them, had the remains \u2018removed to their home at 8 o\u2019clock where an inquest will hs held at 10 o'clock this morning.The Weather.METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE, TOR ONTO, May 18 11 p.m.\u2014The

MONTREAL HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1892.A FORGER EXTRADITED.A Clever Confidence Man Behind the Bars at Listowel.[From the Toronto Mail] Detective John Murray arrived in the city last ni ht from St.Paul after taking to Listowel Edward Faling, one of the most noted forgers and confidenee men that ever graced thig country with his presence.The story of Faling\u2019s operations would furnish interesting matter for the lovers of the marvellous: In 1888 a man visited Canada.Starting in the province of: Quebec, he passed himself off as a horse\u2019 buyer, representing stables in the United States, located at Memphis, Philadelphia, Jersey City, and Kansas City.He cut a wide swatli, and succeeded in passing bogus cheques at every place he visited.His aliases, like wedding presents, were numerous if not costly.He called himself P.H.Phaling, C.C.Hale, C.M.Cole, E.R.Morton, and other names, and succeeded in victimizing innocent rsons in Bin brook, Kingston, Belleville, and Listowel.In Listowel he cashed a bogus draft on Mr.Scott on the First National Bank of Mana- hony City, Penn., for $1,000.He did this on September 24th, 1888, under the name of C.C.Hale.Faling then left Ontario, and shortly afterward turned up at Winnipeg, where he tried the same game, this time raising the limit to 82,000, but he was found out, arrested, and convicted.The judge sentenced him to one year in Manitoba i Detective Murray got on to him, and a warrant was issued for his arrest at Winnipeg as soon as he finished his term of imprisonment.Faling found out there was a warrant for his arrest, and at once machinery was set in motion to accomplish his escape.A woman who represented herself as his wife,arrived in Winnipeg, and enlisted sympathy by her devoutness and church work.His brother also came, and they moved in good society, s0 as to be in a position to get him off.They said they were from New York, and dressing well, they created quite an impression.Their religious scheme did not work well, so another plot was concocted.The prisoner represented that he wasthe inventor of a very valuable machine for manufacturing mosaic embroidery.A lawyer becane interested in the patent, and also one of the turnkeys, according to the prisoner.For a consideration and the patent right he was allowed to break out and make his escape.He did so, but he says that all his wife could get out of the purchasers of the patent was $25.Faling was to keep one-third interest in the machine in the United States and specimens of the work were shown.It subsequently turned out that the machine was like the Keely motor.This occurred in July, 1888, and Faling was in hiding until April 21, when he was arrested by Detective John Murray at a village some 15 miles from St.Paul, called New Brighton.| There he passed himself off as E.G.Morton, and was living with his brother.À big fight was made to keep the prisioner from being extradicted.Mr.Murray took him before a United States Commissioner in St.Panl.After a hearing that lasted a whole week, in which a number of witnesses endeavoured to prove an alibi, the judge ordered him for extradition.To The warrant for extradition was issued on \u2018the 7th instant.Murray got the letters on Thursday of last week and started at once for home.He reached Listowel yesterday at 12.30 with the prisoner.When the prisoner crossed the line, he said he guessed the gig was up, and he made a clean breast of the whole affair.He told the story of his Winnipeg escape and all his doings.Before Mr.J.E.Terhune, police magistrate, the prisoner in the afternoon pleaded guilty, and was at once, committed for trial.Fal- ing is one of the biggest confidence men that ever struck this country, and his victims all over the province will pleased to hear of Murray\u2019s clever capture and success in extraditing him.FOUR FOUL MURDERS, Women Shot Down on the Streets of Denison, Texas.DenIsox, Tex., May 18.\u2014Last night was & night of horror in Denison.Between 11 o'clock p.m.and 3.30 o'clock a.m.an assasin brutally and premeditately shot and killed four women, two of them leaders of local society, and two inmates of disreputable houses, The first victim was Mrs.Haynes, and wife of Dr.Henry F.Haynes, one of Dennison\u2019s most respected citizens.Five hours later in the very heart of the city a beautiful young lady, Miss Teen Hawley, was also shot and killed by some unknown person.Between the hoÿrs when these foul assassinations curred, in another section of the city .twg.women were laid low by an assassins bullet.These last two were inmates of a bagnio, named Maude Kramer and Rose Stewart.These four foul murders have created intense excitement, which is increased by the fact that there is no clue to the criminal.Hundreds of armed men are searching for the murderer, aiding the sheriff and county officers.Blood hounds have been brought into service, but so far without success.Several arrests have been made, but the guilty man is believed to be still at large.A Rogue May Look Honest.Some surprise is expressed that the published portraits of the murderer Deeming show him to be a man of honest and even benevolent appearance.There seems to be no good: reason, however, why an expert criminal should have the hangdog look of a thief or the hardened face of a petty malefactor.Detectives nowadays place less reliance than ever before on the convicting testimony of a suspected criminal\u2019s physiognomy.The \u201cblush of guilt,\u201d the \u201c\u2018thief\u2019s eye,\u201d and other signs once regarded as incriminating have gone the way of other myths.It is the mild-mannered man who scuttles ships, and it is the smiling rogue who does the great deeds of vil.lainy\u2014a fact which Shakespeare knew as well as the modern detective.A glance at the faces of America\u2019s great bank burglars, confidence men and counterfeiters, as shown in Inspector Byrne\u2019s book, easily proves that Deeming\u2019s face is no exception to the rule of noted criminals possessing the features of innocence and respectability.Destructive Fire at Midland.MrDLAxD, Ont, May 18.\u2014Fire broke out this morning in a

Mr.Devlin\u2014The honorable member for Grey (Mr.Sproule) has kindly furnished me with an argument which I will address to the Minister of Public Works in order to obtain à postotlice in my own county.I have listened to the honorable gentleman with a great deal of pleasure, and, as he is a philosopher, sound in his doctrine, deep in his argument, I wiil take that argument as one which I believe is the only one likely to prevail with the Government.He said that the policy which should guide the Government in this matter was the necessity of the situation.Does he mean to affirm that this is the reason which is inducing the Government to grant the large sum of money we are about voting ?He knows there are other causes behind that, but he thinks it more politic to throw insults across the floor at the honorable member for North Wellington than to state the other causes.; Mr.Sproule.\u2014Surely there is no insult in saying that a town of 5,000 inhabitants is entitled to have a post office.Mr.Deviin.\u2014The hon.gentloman referred to the constant annoyance caused to the House by the speeches of the hon.member (Mr.McMullen.) He forgot to refer to the very long annoyance to which the House is subjected when he himself gets up to address it.Perhaps lie has filled more pages of Hansard during last session than any other member.Mr Sproule.\u2014There is not one word of truthin that.Mr.Davlin\u2014I am sorry the hon.gentleman cannot take the medicine like a man.He handles medicine, and he ought to be able to take it.However, I did not rise in the first place to pick a quarrel with the hon.member for Grey (Mr.Sproule}, but to take the statement of the hon.member for Halifax (Mr.Stairs, that there are many accommodations and facilities in postal matters in the Province of Nova Scotia.In the report of the Postmaster General, I find that, in the Province of Nova Scotia\u2014and no one will pretend to say that the population of that province is equal to the population of the Province of Quebec\u2014they have 1,431 post offices, while inthe Province of Quebec, with a population of at least 1,000- 000 more, they have only 1,441 post offices.This in the Postmaster General\u2019s report, page 9 The figures are really interesting, and will quote them.The number of letters going through the post offices in Quebec is 23,100,000 in the year, whereas in Nova Scotia the number is only 71000,000, and yet Nova Scotia has as many post offices as the large and populous Province of Quebec.Nearly 4,000,000 post cards are sent yearly in the Province of Quebec, and in Nova Scotia only 1,330,000.Of registered letters, 770,000 are sent in Quebec, and in Nova Scotia 166,000.We find that the business in mail matter in the Province of Nova Scotia is infinitely less than it is in the Province of Quebec, and yet Nova Scotia has as many post offices as the Province of Quebec.What a pity it would be if they would not find that they had good facilities and good accommodation, If you go through these estimates, you will find large sums .put here and there for certain provinces,\u201d and year after year, wiiereas, In :other places where money could well be expended none is voted.Let ma call attention to one case which I pointed out last year.Over and over again and year after year deputations have come lo the Government from a flourishing town across the river asking that suitable post office accommodation should be provided.To satisfactory reason could be given for a refusal.The revenue from that town is considerable, The revenue of this town, I believe, is at least equal to the revenue of towns which have post offices costing $30,- 000 or $40,000,; and still the answer of the Government was; No, they could get no post office A deputation has come from.the town of Buckingham, a large business town across the river in the connty of Ottawa, & town that requires post office accommodation, and it has been refused.Why ?Is it because the town belongs to a county that sends a representative to this House not in sympathy with the Government ?It looks very much like it.On the very same page of the estimates on which this item occurs find towns receiving public works or grants that belong to coustituen- cies which sent to this House supporters of the Government.For instance, 1 find a sum put down for public building at Halifax, for the DarBnouth post office, the Lunenburg post office, the Picton post office, and so on.I for one deny that there is even justice or honesty in the manner in which, the Government distribute their grants for publié buildings.Scared the Malays.Carcurra, May 18\u2014An earthquake shock has been felt in Singapore, Penang, Johore and Sumatra, extending through the Malay Peninsula and the adjoining islands.The shock, while clearly perceptible, does not appear to have caused any fatalities.It has aroused no little consternation, however, among the superstitious Malays, and many of them have left their dwellings and fled to the adjoining woods and hills.Deeming Must be Executed, MELBOURNE, May 18.\u2014The Earl of Hope- toun, governor of Victoria has refused to postpone the execution of the murderer Deeming, which is set down for Monday next.A Heavy French Loss, Paris, May 18.\u2014The Livre Parole to-day states that the French forces in Tonquin recently attacked and captured a pirate stronghold.The pirates made a desperate resistance and their loss was very heavy, it being known that 125 of them were killed.The French loss was also heavy, 53 soldiers and five officers being killed.Would Like to Catch Garza, SAN ANToNIo, Tex., May 18.\u2014Katarina Garza has been located at Key West, Fla.U.8.Marshal Frick yesterday received an official telegram asking if a warrant was out for the fugitive.The marshal telegraphed the officer at Key West to hold Garza.It is reported the Mexican Government has offered a reward of $30,000 for Garza\u2019sarrest and extradition, Toronto Bankers Are Coming.Toronto, May 18-\u2014Most of the Toronto city banks intend sending down representatives to the first annual meeting of the Canadian Bankers\u2019 association, to be held in Montreal to-morrow under the presiding of George Hogue.Buried a Few Hours After Death.ToroNto, May 18.\u2014Mra Alfred W.Blight, of 25 Tranby avenue, eldest daughter of Rev, Manly Benson, died last evening from an attack of a malignant type of diphtheria.She was taken down only a few days ago.The interment took place a few hours after her death, only a few friends being present.\u201cWho hath not awn\u2019d with rupture- smitten frame The power of grace, the magic of a name?\u201d asks Campbell, the poet, in his \u201cPleasures of Hope.\u201d Pleasures of Hope, forsooth.y and many a woman knows tiem no longer.They are in despair: about their health.They are ran-down, debilitatea, suffering from what they know not.It may be dyspepsia, heart disease, liver or kidney disease;

1.That the American Library associaiion appoint a committee to select fram\u2019 forthcoming publications, as announced, such works as they deem worthy of review.2.That this committee organize a corps of reviewers, comprising members, each of whom shall be the best available authority in his field, with perhaps two such members for moot questions.3.That wherever possible a review shall be ready as soon as a book is published.This can be accomplished more easily than at first one would suppose.The mechanical execution of an important book usually occupies from four to six months.During this time, as fast as the chapters successively leave the press, advance sheets can be sent to a reviewer, so that the issue of a work and its review can be simultaneous, 4.That the review, to be printed on a card or cards following the title-card in the library catalogue, shall succinctly cover among its points these: A statement whether a book is elementary or advanced; a comparison between it and others in the same tield, telling wherein it is better or not so good; noting important errors, and where, if anywhere, a tull criticism is to be found.5.That in addition to the very condensed review for use in public libraries, a second one, of a length varying with the importance of the book.be written for simultaneous issue in a circle of newspapers throughout America.The acceptability of such a review, would of course, largely turn on the interest in the subject of the book.and on the eminence of its reviewer.Should this particular feature of my proposal prove successful, it would meet in part the expense necessary in working the project as a whole.6.That each review, whether for library or newspaper.be signed and dated.The plan suggested would have these advantages : 1.There would be an increase in the sense of responsibility of authorship.When a writer knows that his work is to be appraised by the man best able to doit, whose word favorable or otherwise will largely decide the fortunes of his book, he makes it as good as ever he can.This spur would always be present, with an edge that would never grow dull.2.There would be an increase inthe responsibility of reviewing.The puffery of interest, the glosses of friendship, the snarls of ill-nature; would be much less likely to intrude in a signed criticism than in an anonymous one.The signed reviews now given in leading political, economic and educational magazines leave nothing to be desired.\u2018 3.There would be an increase in the esteem with which the public would regar reviewing when it became a task only for those acknowledged to be competent.This would, as far as it would go, have the effect of promoting the success of a really good book, or condemning a faulty or bad one.4.There would be an increase of result in study and research through their receiving right direction.Why should any one read a superseded manual of chemistry, a second- rete plea for bimetallism, or a carelessly written account of the geology of Texas, when better bpoks ou all three subjectsare to be had?And in less scientific of seripup branches of literature-\u2014history, biography, and fiction, the ordinary reader would dd- rive aid nearly as important as that extended the student.5.The review-cards as received at a library would be helpful in purchasing++pet- haps as often in warning the buyer against eertain books as in recommending to him certain others.Where through lack of funds a good book could not be bought, its review-card would tell any inquirer verv much interested where he could find \u2018information.Should many such cards accumulate they might be expected to arouse even a sluggish and parsimonious community to a sense of what it ismissing.Any where, as is more and more commonly the case, the public library buys every really good new book, I have hope that, having created an assured though small sale for such literature, we shall have some good books brought to the birth by virtue of this very opportunity.: BLAINE The International City Gateway of Two Great Nations Where Commerce Moves With Tide and Rall.Send to the undersigned for maps\u2019 and pam- phlots which will inform you about Blaine, uget Sound,and the new state of Washington.Blaine, the future Mctropolis.Population 1889, 75 ;

\u201c\u2018dependent, you understand.He has never gone te college, and has adopted no profession, no profession, you understand, no profession.He should at least have waited until he was independent before takimg so grave a step.\u201cMy son and I have not quarrelled, you know, but he no longer resides with us.He is a member of the Union club, and spends most of his time there, and his letters must in future be sent there\u2014sent to the club\u2014you catch the point, because in future his home will be there.He will visit us frequently as our guest, but this is no longer his residence.\u201d MEN AS ADVERTISING MEDIUMS.It might have been thought that the art of advertisement could no further go remarks Mr.James Payn in the Illustrated London News.We have them on onr books, on our walls, and in the most unexpected places, such as the sails of our pleasure- oats, and in stories in the newspapers which begin with a dramatic episode and end with somebody's soap or somebody\u2019s syrup.But man himself has now been pressed into the service.I met half-a-dozen fellow-creatures in Piccadilly the other day, not mere \u2018\u2018sandwich men,\u201d but every inch of them spaced out with myriads of advertisements, ranging from tea to tousers, and with this amazing announcement on their foreheads\u2014Spaces to be let on sixty men.This opens a new vista of employment indeed.Each man will be paid, of course, according to his superficial area, and therefore very fat people will be sure of a large and probably increasing income.Hitherto sandwlch men have been inclined to leanness; many of them seem to have given their attention less to food than drink; but henceforward it will be worth their while to cultivate corpulence.Overloaded.You've eaten too much turkey, And so you cannot work, eh !

CHAPTER XIII\u2014(Continued.) He nodded without smiling first to Mr.Marshall, and then to Tom, and without extending the courtesy to sat me down and began to rub the gold eyeglasses he scarcely ever used.\u201c\u201c You sent for me, Marshall ?\u201d said.\u201cYes,\u201d answered poor Mr.Marshall, who was not very successful in concealing the fact that he had had a great shock.\u201cI have had some very unsatisfactory news about our unfortunate ward, Mary Smith.There is some sort of mystery about it, and I hoped that you might help us to clear it up.\u201d Poor Mr.Marshall! He may have hoped this when he sent for his co- guardian a few minutes before, but he certainly could not be in the same mind now that he had discovered the culprit to be his own son.I felt so sorry both for him and for Tom that I looked steadfastly out of the window, for fear those cold, shrewd eyes should read any part of the truth in mine.Mr.Ibbetson gave one shrewd glance at us all round, and then went on rubbing his eyeglasses as if his whole attention was given to that occupation, \u201c\u201c Let\u2019s hear it,\u201d he said briefly.\u201cI am afraid neither you nor I can entirely acquit ourselves of blame in the matter ; for it seems that since she has been living down at the distillery she has been quietly losing her wits.Now we ought to have gone done there from time to time to see how she was getting on.I have been so busy that it would have been difficult for me to spare the time ; but you, Ibbetson, a comparatively idle man, might have given the girl a look in.\u201d Mr.Ibbetson shook his head without looking up.\u2018\u201c Not much use for me to go,\u201d he said drily.\u2018Never knew Mary Smith had any wits ; shouldn\u2019t have noticed the loss of them.\u201d I, in my seat at the window, moved impatiently.Mr.Ibbetson noticed this, as he noticed everything ; but he did not look up.\u201cYoumustn't say that before Georgie Oliver,\u201d said Mr.Marshall, turning round kindly toward me.\u2018It is she who found out poor Mary\u2019s case, and it is from her that you must hear all about it.You know Georgie, I think ?\u201d *\u201c Yes,\u201d said Mr.Ibbetson, in a tone which plainly said that the acquaintance gave him no pleasure.He wheeled his chair round so as to'face me.\u2018Is it you who are to tell the story ?Begin then.\u201d I obeyed, feeling more nervous and miserable than I had ever done in my life before.However, I might try to tone down my narrative, I felt sure that he would pierce to the truth.It was in vain that I made the recital as bare as possible ; by adroit and unexpected questions he ferreted out every incident, excepting of course, that ci the glove.When I had finished he remaiued quite silent, making no comment} until Mr.Marshall spoke to him.\u2018\u201c Well, what do you think of it all »* \u2018It doesn\u2019t much matter what I think, until I think I know what scoundrel is at the bottom of this,\u201d answered Mr.Ibbetson quietly.Then he got up as if to go.Mr.Marshall rose tdo, evidently excited.° \u2018\u201c Do you mean to take any steps ?\u201d \u201cYes.One of us must go down and stay at the house ; that will put a stop to this hanky-panky.And as you are so busy, 1 suppose it must be I,\u201d Mr.Marshall looked disturbed and glanced at Tom.I thought he felt his son\u2019s misdemeanors would stand a poor chance of concealment under that cynical pair of eyes.\u2018\u201c You had better let me go down,\u201d he said, in a desperate sort of tone.*\u2018 There's a woman to be faced and questioned, and you'd come off badly in that part of the business,\u201d \u2018\u201c Perhaps I should,\u201d returned the other with a grimace of distaste.** But can you go at once ?The girl's a fool, but that\u2019s no reason why we should let a knave profit by her folly.The matter must be looked into immediately.\u201d \u201cIwill go down to-night,\u201d said Mr.Marshall, to my great relief.\u2018It's an awful sacrifice of my time to get away just now, but I feel so guilty at my share In neglecting her, that I shall go, whatever it costs.\u201d 1 jumped from my chair with an exclamation of joy.\u2018You'll come to-night, really to-night?I asked eagerly.\u2018\u201c Really to-night,\u201d said Mr.Marshall decidedly.\u2018\u2018 And now, my dear, you must be off ; for I have a lot of work to do before I can get away.\u201d He shook me warmly by both hands, and I went out of the oftice nearly as sorry for him as for Tom, who ran down the stairs after me and caught me at the bottom.He had stood by quite silently while I told my story for the second time.I looked up into his face timidly, as if to ask mutely if I had not done the best I could for him.I think he understood, for his eyes looked moist, and he spoke to me in a gentler tone than I had ever before heard him use.He seemed more contrite, more cast down than one would have thought possible in a man capable of such conduct as he had Just confessed to.\u201c Will you let me take you somewhere to lunch; Georgie 7\u2019 I hesitated.I wanted to go with him dreadfully, but I was rather afraid, if I saw too much of him just then in his penitent mood, that I might condone too much and too quickly.The dog-cart standing outside caught my eye.\u201cYou have an appointment,\u201d 1 said hastily.\u2018 What's an appointment when a girl is concerned ¢ And, you, of all girls,\u201d said he, rather more adoringly than I liked.For Mr.Ibbetson was close behind us on the stairs.\u201cTl send the dog-cart away,\u201d said Tom, and he ran out of the door and down the steps.I blushed crimson with shame ang a kind of terror, for Mr.1bbetson stopped and looked straight at me for a couple of seconds.\u201c* Do you know who is at the bottom of this business ?\u201d he asked abruptly.\u201cI\u2014Oh, no, no.How should I?How\u2014\u2014\u201d \u2018That will do,\u201d said the old man drily, tightening his lips as if in disdain.But you won\u2019t be able to shield anybody long, my good girl, for 1 have a capital scent for a rogue.\u201d To be Continued.he When Baby waa sick, we gave her Castoria.When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.When sho became Miss, she clung to Castoria.When she had Children, she gave them Castoria ASE NOT a Pur.pgative Medicine, They are & BLoop BUILDER, Tosic and RECON- #4 STRUCTOR, as thoy supply in a condensed form the substances dactually needed to en- (rich the Blood, curing à & Vall diseases coming 4 yrom Poor and WaAT- 4UP the Broop and SYSTEM, when broken d down by overwork, ¥ mental worry, disease, excesses and indiscretions.They have a M SPECIFIO AUTION ON the SEXUAL SYSTEM of both men and women, restoring LOST VIGOR i Meow and correcting all ;

Berlin particularly is considerably lower.Paris is rather firm with à good demand, and Liverpool and London is nominally unchanged.The movement from interior points toward the sea shore is not so large as during the past week.The .slearances are somewhat larger, while we think the unfavorable conditions ef the weathet hdve done sufficient damage al- \u2018Méaidy to quite materially effect the price at ich the glowing crop Is likely to mar- Keted.We would advise great caution in buying on stich sharp bulges as we have had to-day, for it seems to require only a day or Lo of sunshine to créate a very bearish \u2018feeling and a corresponding reaction in the market.There was some selling by country elevator men in the Northwest, which would indicate that the farmers are delivering a little more freely.Receipts of corn continue very light.Ship- persare unable to obtain enough to supply their regular trade.Buyers have been holding \u2018off for some time, hoping that country roads would improve, and thus induce more free selling by the farmer.It is à question now whethes the backward planting.will not cause the farmers to hold on to their old grain until the prospects are a little brighter for the next crop.Late lanting sometimes produces a large crop, Put the chances are decidedly aginst it.The advance in corn is having a very favorable effect on hog products.Receipts of hogs continue large, but the product is firm and likely.to.remaiu so.so long as corn .conj tiques strong.Chicago Hog Market.estimated receipts of hogs were 30,000 ;

Ald.Rolland also responded in French.The next toast was that of the Board of Trade and the Railway interests.Mr.E.B.Greenshields responded for the Board of Trade, and Mr.T.G.Shaughnessy for Railways, Mr.E.B.Greenshields, president of the Board of Trade, gave a short historical sketch of the city of Montreal from the days of Champlain, and of the circumstances which led to Montreal becoming the commercial capital of the Dominion.Mr.Shaughnessy, whose remarks were often of a humorous character, said the railways owed a great debt of gratitude to the banks.He gave some exceedingly interesting statistics illustrative of railway progress between the years 1882-92, and of the development of the Northwest, and in conclusion hoped the bankers would use their great influence to bring about an Atlantic fast service.The \u201cBanking Interests of Canada\u201d being the next toast, Sir Donald A.Smith responded in a very short speech, and was followed by Mr.B.E.Walker, manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce who made a very interesting speech.When visiting a museum some time ago, he said, he had seen som» accounts kept by ancient Egyptians on tablets.Almost immediately afterwards he had been shown some particulars of Scotch banking in the last century, It had set him thinking.These silent witnesses spoke to a greater developement in this century than in all the centuries that had preceded it.It was said that steam and electricity had been the agents that had given such an impetus to the trade of our day, but he (Mr.Walker) was convinced that, although the power of steam and the power of credit had doubtless each played their part, the one in locomotion and the other in the transmission of thought, it was the power of credit that had done the most.He then touched on the tremendous responsibility that rests on the shonlders of the banker.It was in the hands of the banker to promote the best interests of a country, or to bring about its ruin by encouraging undue elation.He was glad to say that the record of the banking fraternity in Canada was a clean one.Mention had been made, he said, of the professional status of bankers.This he could say, that nowadays no one could occupy such a position without a long course of education, upon the thoroughness of which depended not only his own fortune but that of thousands.The speaker then referred to the bank note issue of this country, and in thisconnection took occasion to speak of the insurance system or bank ring, by which provision was made that should any bank issuing notes fail, the holder would be at no loss since the other banks wouid still honor his paper.In conclusion Mr, Walker spoke at some length of Canadian prospects.He never was a pessimist he said, he had no sympathy with some political newspapers, who were always howling \u201cblue ruin.\u201d He wag, as a banker always should be, middly optimistic and whatever the course affairs, political or commercial, would take, ne was certain that Canada would never fail to go ahead.Mr.J.S.Bousquet also responded.The toasts of the \u2018Learned Professions\u201d and the \u2018\u201cPress\u201d were also suitably acknowledged.PERSONALS, E.Pacaud, of Quebec, is staying at the Windsor.R.A.Lawlor, of Chatham, N.B., is a guest at the Windsor.Sir Joseph and Lady Trutch, of Victoria, B.C., are registered at the Windsor.W.G.8.Hopkins, of London, Eng., is amongst the guests at the Windsor.A.C.Schufferhauer, of Shanghai, China, is amongst the latest arrivals at the Windsor.Aldermen Prefontaine and Robert left b the 5.30 p.m.train yesterday for New Yor on private business.Tne approaching marriage is announced of Miss Mathilde Cote, sister of Mr.Alex?Cote, of La Presse, to Mr.Richard Harrison, of the Union bank, Ottawa.The ceremony will be performed at the cathedral, New York city, May 25.The latest arrivals at the Balmoral are ED.Manchel, Toronto;

Messrs.Geo.Hague, Walter Paul and Fred.Meyers.Resolutions of thanks to the ladies, THE HERALD and the other city newspapers were then adopted, after which Mr.Kingman briefly referred to his retirement from the presidency.Mr.Budge read a notice of motion to amend article 1, section 1, of the | by-laws, so that new members could be elected by the board of directors, instead of at the members\u2019 monthly meeting.Short addresses from the new directors closed the meeting.The new board of directors held a meeting subsequently at which the following officers were elected : President, L.H.Packard; vice-president, William Tees; treasurer, War en King; recording secretary, Seth P.ect.The Cercle Ville Marie Celebration.The second performance of the Cercle Ville Marie, given in honor of the 250th anniversary of the foundation of Montreal, took place last evening under the auspices of Hon.Justice Baby, president of the Numismatic and Antiquarian society, who have charge of the erection of the Maison- neuve monument.The quartettes by Messrs.J.N.E.Marchand, A.Giraux, J.Saucier and A.Langlois were well rendered.The other musical selections on the program were two violin solos by Mr, Thomas Raymond, and a piano duet by Messrs.Joseph and Paul Sancier.Mr.Gustave Labine introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr.Stanisla Cote.\u201cThis gentleman spoke at great length, taking for his subject \u2018Patriotism and Work.\u201d He treated his discourse in an able and clear manner, and the address was heartily appreciated by the very select audience.This evening the third and last concert will take place under the auspices of Mr.L.O.David, president of the Se.Jean Baptiste society.The speaker of the evening will be Mr.Louis Frechette.The Bishopric of Quebec, A successor to the late Bishop Williams is to be.elected at the next session of the Synod, which will meet next month.The names so far mentioned in connection with the vacancy are the Bishop of Niagara, the Dean of Quebec, Dr.Norman, the Rev.Canon DuMoulin, and the late Bishop's son, the present Rector of St.Matthew\u2019s, Quebec.It is not likely that Canon DuMoulin would accept the position if it were offered him, as his attachment to St.James\u2019 Cathedral is too strong to induce him to leave it.The Bishop of Niagara would, it would seem, be more likely to accept, owing to his old association with the diocese, as well as his family connections in Quebec.However, no forecast can be made with any reasomable certainty.\u2014 Evangelical Churchman.THE VICTORIA ART SCHOOL, An Exhibitiôn of Work by Children Artists and their Teachers.The Victoria Art school on St.Catherine street, whose exhibition is now going on, comprises two flats.In the upper one classes are held for the special training of children in drawing and modelling, Their lessons are one hour in length, given twice a week\u2014modelling on Monday, drawing on Thursday, In going through the room one cannot but be struck by the talent evinced by many of these youthful disciples ef art, who in age vary from 6 to 12 years.In different cities in the United States, Chicago, for instance, children are taught drawing and modelling asa part of theirregularschool education.This is a most excellent thing.By encouraging children to observe natural objects carefully, they are taught in the end to see those objects correctly.It is a mistake, perhaps not quite so common now, to think the artistic talent necessary to be enabled to reproduce objects correctly with brush or pencil.Any child of ordinary ability and average es esight, can be taught either modelling or drawing, exactly as any child of ordinary intelligence can be taught to write his own language correctly.And just as a person carefully educated, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, can enjoy the beauties of literature, so with a person educated in the artistic sense, whose faculties of observation have been trained from childhood, be able to see and enjoy beauties in surrounding objects never dreamed of by the untrained.It is for this very laudable object\u2014of training children\u2014that this class has been established.On one of the tables, where the children work, were several sketches of birches, studies from nature, wonderfully good, when the children\u2019s ages are taken into consideration.There was also a design, for a border, in oyster shells, simply and cleverly one.In the modelling be may mentioned particularly a hand by a child of eleven, which struck one as excellent.Also a pair of sabots; a corn-cob pipe, and a pear, this last excellent; besides these, worthy of mention, à bird\u2019s nest with eggs in it ; and a radish, the leaves of which were extremely realistic.In the class for the drawing and painting from draped model aid head was a head in oils, which shows talent and is really remarkably good as a result of a first years work.The head and figure of a girl in black and white with her two hands clasped over the back of a chair was also extremely good.In this class students have daily use of the studio with criticisms twice a week, Among the designs were two Moorish panels for wood carving, bold in drawing, excellent in composition; in effect extremely good.Also one of an Orchid for a stained glass window was very good.A stalk of Indian corn was very fair, though the stem was perhaps a little heavy and stiff.In China painting the display was most creditable, the gilding and firing being done in the school.Really the painting and designs on plates, cups, and jars, are all so good as to make it a matter of difficulty for one to single out any particular specimen as better than the others.painting under the glaze like Cincinnatti ottery, or Majolica and Barbotine wear.ut painting under glaze will be practised in the coming year, when they hope to have still further advantages in accommodation for pupils.Exhibited in the room with the china are a number of studies in still life, principally of flowers, Several paintings in water colors of roses were very good, though the artist did not succeed so well with her back- | grounds, and in one or two instances seemed a little wrong in her perspective.Besides the flowers, there are two stndies of Mallard drakes ; one with wings slightly spread is exgellent iu colors.The green gloss in the lumage about the head and neck is well Drought out, but the modelling leaves a good deal to be desired.In the other, the drawing is superior, though inferior in point of colors.- This finishes the student portion of the exhibit, which, taken as a whole, is a credit to the school and teaching, and gives promise of much good work in the future.The room down stairs is entirely given up to the work of the professional artists in the school.No.1 \u201cPortrait,\u201d is by Miss M.A.Bell.The repose in the figure is good ; the hands resting in the lap are drawn with much feeling.But there seems to be a certain something lacking.No.2.\u201cThe young moon,\u201d by Miss Houghton, is a clean bold sketch, possessing much sentiment and feeling.No.5.\u201cSketch,\u201d by the same, isa powerful piece of drawing, most effective, and shows talent and education.No.8, is ¢\u2018Old houses, Sidney Cape Breton,\u201d by Miss H.J.MacDonnell.The drawing in this is excellent; the coloring safe and pleasing; the perspective very good indeed.There is much feeling in this very pleasing picture.No.9, \u201cHooded Merganser,\u201d by Miss M.M.Phillips, is exceptionally good in drawing and colors.\u2018No.32, \u2018\u2018An Old Salt,\u201d by the same, is a most taking little water color in her very best style.\u2018\u201cThe Old Salt\u201d might perhaps be a little older for the title, but he is a good, reliable, looking fellow, with brave, honest eyes and firm kindl mouth.No.29, \u201cA Portrait,\u201d by Miss M.H.Bell, is a most excellent, characteristic, looking work.No.44, \u201cA Sketch,\u201d by the same.This is not in Miss Bell's usual style and consequently should not be compared with her others.This artist has hitherto painted repose.In this there is action, life, and go.There is power and boldness in the drawing.The bushes are aslant in the wind.In short, it is perfect so far as it goes, and replete with a breezy, windy, life.No.3.\u2018\u2018Cape Breton Coast,\u201d by Miss Macdonnell, is a very clever water color.Though in the mass of foam breaking over the rock in foreground there is too much solidity, and the edges are not sufficiently broken.Some sky or horizon line should show through.Otherwise the picture is strong and pleasing; there is a rush and movement throughout.The vessel with slanting masts near the horizon line isa cleverly conceived finish.\u2018Two Dutch Children\u201d (not numbered), by Miss Bell, is a delightfully pleasing picture, with rest and pleasant sunshine, in that talented artist's happiest style.No.22, \u2018\u2018 Sun set, Gloucester Harbour,\u201d by Miss Phillips, is à charming little water color, most delicately handled.In the water there is a clearness and transparency, the reflections are distinctly good.There is evening sun light in the picture and an atmosphere of calm repose throughout.With such competent teachers, the institution has every chance of ultimate success ; Montreal people who are proud of their city and its art should do all in their powor to aid and encourage an art school which promises so much.Park Commissioner\u2019s Meet.Ald, Dufresne presided at the meeting of the Park Commissioners at noon yesterday.A petition was read from Mr, Andrew Allan asking that the strip of land adjoining the Mountain park, off Pine avenue, be put up for sale by auction, so that he can bid for it.The commttee agreed to do this but subject to certain restrictions, the chief of which was that whoeverbecame the purchaser he should not be allowed to build any high fence around it so as to obstruct the xiew.Mr.8.C.Stevenson and Mr.J.W.Sadler appeared as a deputation from the Exposition company asking the committee to grant them 200 feet of land on Fletcher's field next the running track.A similar requisition was made some time ago but was not entertained, and yesterday the committee did not seem disposed to alter their determination, as the space referred to is the best part of the fiold, for a public play round, Ald.Farrell called attention to a dangerous open well 25 feet deep on Fletcher's field.and orders were given to Mr.McGib- bon to hava it filled up at once.As yet there is no\u2019 WHEN VISITING NEW YORK GO TO re H COSMOPOLITAN HOTEL, WEST BROADWAY AND CHAMBERS STREET, Under new management, thoroughly renovated and refurntshed.Roams $1 per da;
