along the north shores of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay are large iron deposits, and these continue along the north shore of Lake Superior.It is, however, in the western part of the province, directly north of the Minnesota cre bodies, that the largest and most valuable deposits are located.The Mesaba range crosses into Canada at Gunflint Lake and continues in a northeasterly direction for many miles.Just west of this is Hunter\u2019s Island, on which are many thousands of acres on which ore outcrops.Further to the northwest, but south of the Canadian Pacific road, are the Aticokan deposits, which are probably the largest, richest and most easily mined of all Canadian iron ores.Hunter's Island is about sixty miles long and fifteen wide, and the entire island seems to be mineralized.Its ore is a hematite, hard, and very like that from the Minnesota Iron Company's mines.Fully nine-tenths of the mineral locations here, as well as on the Aticoxan, that have been taken from the Government are held by Americans, the Canadians seeming to have little interest in the mater.The Aticokan Range was first discovered in 1885, but no attention was paid to it till 1889, when extended deposits showed the extent of the range to be very great.The ore outcrops in great bluffs from fifty to ons hundred feet high and has been traced for a distance of twenty-five miles along the Aticokan and Seine rivers, Itis a hard magnetite and samples taken by the Canadian Geological Survey averaged nearly 68 prailroad in Siberia.per cent.metallic iron.Samples by the Minnesota Iron Company have averaged over 43 per vent., while Carnegie and Co.have analyses of 66.The range hus been tested and sampled hy a number of the largest, iron and steel makers of America.A Belgian syndicate in which King Leopold was interested two vears Ago, took options on most of the discovered ore bodies on the range, with the intention of carrying on very extensive operations, if at any time the duty on imported ore by the United States should be vemoved.This option expired November last, but was renewed till the new tariff bill should be settled.However, as the Belgians are obliged to pay 40 cents a ton royalty, it is not likely that that they will ever take up their mining operations.Even were the duty removed, they could not compete with the mines of Minnesota.So far as competition of Canadian ores is concerned after the removal of the present import duty, it may be summed up in the words, of no effect.The ores of eastern Canada are, generally speaking, low grade.while those of the West are distant at present from railways, and, even with railways built, would Le at u slight disadvantege in point of transportation over those of the Lake Superior region.They might have a small advantage in point of wages.But with pig iron made in Canada from native ore: the situation is different, owing to a bonus of $2 on every ton smelted, which is given by the government.This would be enough to give a decided advantage.However, without an infusion of American blood and capital little is ever likely to be done with these vast deposits of ore.The iron ore production of Canada las constantly decreased until last year it was practically nothing, and whatever ore and iron and steel products were consumed were imported.FROM THE CAPITAL, Hon.MacKenzle Bowell Reports His Return From Australia.[Special to The Herald.) Orraws, Dec.26.\u2014Hon., MacKenzie Bowell arrived in the city to-night from his trip to Australia.Mr.Bowell spent Christinas day at Belleville, Ont.The Minister of Trade and Commerce looks hale and

to-day and were fined one dollar wiohout costs, for an infraction of the early closing by-law.The parties were anxious to take advantage of doing all the business they could during the Christmas week.C.R.Cunningham, one of the candidates for the mayoralty, is still confined to his room through illness.His medical adviser thinks he will be able to be out on Thursday.Some of the candidates for aldermanic honors have withdrawn from the contest, but there are still & large number in the field There are six in Victoria Ward, five in Dalhousie, eight in Wellington, five in Central, six in St.(George's, five in By, five in Ottawa aud five in Rideau.Thos.Scott, a miller in the employ of the McKay Milling Co., dropped dead last evening on his way to work.He was 65 years of age.The doctor pronounced the cause of death heart failure.The number of marriages in Ottawa this year up to December 1, as reported to City Clerk Henderson, was 370.Of these, 230 were united by Protestant clergymen.Hon.Frank Smith arrived in city to-night from Toronto.The train reached here between three and four hours late.He will attend an important meeting of the Cabinet to-morrow, when it is likely that the date of the meeting of Parliament will be decided upon.lt is also understood petitions to His Excel lency in favor of releasing McGreevy and Connolly will come up for consideration.The views of Mr.Smith in regard to their being set free are generally well known, and said to be in favor of such a course being pursued.There were ten ministers at the Council meeting this afternoon, and it is likely that all the Cabinet will be in attendance to-morrow.THE CLUB COXSERVATEUR.Last Night's Meeting of Tories Found Fault With the Liberals.A meeting of the Club Conservateur was held last evening in the Monument National building in honor of the Hon.J.Alderic Ouimet, Minister of Public Works.There was a good attendance.George W.Marsan presided, and amongst those present were Hon.J.A.Ouimet, J.J.Curran, J.U.Emard, Mayor Desjardins, Gustave Bour- beau, T.Cardinal, Ald.Dagenais, Stevenson and Clendinneng, Provincial Chief of Police Chevalier, Senator Tasse, S.Bodin, Q.C., ex-Mayor Rolland, J.Boivin and others.The proceedings were opened by a short speech by the Chairman, in which he stated that the question to be discussed was, \u201cIs the Federal Government worthy of the support of French Canadians?\u201d Messrs.Gustave Bourbeau and T.Cardinal made long speeches, in which they repeatedly stated that the Ottawa Government was all right, and deserved the support of all French-Canadians.According to their views the policy of protection devised and carried out by the Conservative party had made Canada, and Queliec especially, a singularly blessed and prosperous country.Amongst the others who spoke were Hou.J.A.Ouimet and J.J.Curran.The Manitoba school question was touched upon by all the speakers, and the usual denunciation of the Liberal party and the Hon.Wilfrid Laurier in particular was indulged in by all including Mr.Ouimet.There was, however, no more light thrown upon the subject than before.The Liberal party was accused of changing its politics and policy continually and was proclaimed as utterly unfitted and uncapable of successfully running the affairs of the country.On Thursday evening next a complimentary banquet will be tendered Mr.Ounimet at the St, Lawrence Hall.Only a Practical Joker.Parts, Dec.26.\u2014The police at Bezierk have learned that the alleged bomb explosion that occurred in the church there during the service of Midnight Mass on Christmas eve was the work of a practical joker.A man who thought it would be funny to startle the worshippers, set off a squib in the church and caused a momentary panic.It is probable the authorities will compel the man to pay dearly for his joke.Five Steamers Bought by Russia.New York, Dec.26\u2014C.P.Huntington confirmed last night the report that the Russian Government had bought of the United States and Brazil Mail Steamship Company, in which he is largely interested, five steamships to be used by the Amoor Steamship Company in connection with the Russian Government's trans-continental The vessels are all big ships, supplied with modern machinery and according to Mr.Huntington the price received for the five was $1,000,000.| | BYES ON THE COUNCIL What Will They Do About the Beauport Deal?THE MATTER WILL COME UP TO-DAY.Owing to the lliness of Two Prominent Liberals, the Government Hope to Carry the Deal\u2014 Yesterday\u2019s Proceedings in the House of Assembly\u2014Judges and the Code Revision.(Special to The Herald.) QuEere, Dec.2,\u2014'The Legislative Council will take up the Beauport Asylum deal to-morrow.lt was passed by the House a few days ago and owing to the fact that the council is equally divided on the question, more than ordinary interest is being taken in the outcome of the ensuing debate.Hon.Messrs.(arneau and D.A.Ross, ex- ministers in the late Mercier (Government, are both ill, and owing to their probable absense, the promoters of the deal are sanguine that it will pass the Council.Hon.Mr.Staines was sick to-day, but will be in his place to-morrow.The proprietors of the Beauport Asylum, Madame Roy included, were conspicuous figures around the lobby to-day, and all kinds of rumors are afloat about intrigues to have the Council ratify one of the worst jobs that has ever been attempted in provincial politics.IN THE HOUSE, The House of Assembly resumed iis sittings to-day after the Christmas holiday.Mr.Casgrain moved the House into committee on the bill to amend the law respecting the Circuit Court of Montreal, to correct a technical error in the bill as passed last year ; passed.He then moved the House into committee on the bill to fix the remuneration of Commissioners to revise the Code of Civil Procedure.Mr.Marchand said that he was opposed to the principle of bringing judges from the bench and transforming them into salaried functionaries under this or that political party, as the case might be.The Attorney-General said the judiciary had always been selected as commissioners to revise the codes of law.This was right, for of all men they were surely the most competent meu for the work.Their employment was desirable on economie grounds, because advocates in such a position would need much more remuneration.Mr.Mercier also objected to the principle of what he termed the suspension of the independence of the judges, as their independence was the fundamental rule of the English constitutional system.Ye regre*t d the placing of judges on commission, as a slur on their prestige.The Premier reminded the House that the revision of the code required the very best talent and this could not be obtained save by employing the judges or by the payment of very large amounts, for the leaders at the bar would uot neglect a large practice for $2,000.The time which the revision would require might lose an advocate much of his practice.Mr.Mercier had not been so afraid of compromising the bench when he had appointed Judge Dorion to investigate the Lavallee affair.Mr.Marchand then moved an amendment, asserting the principle that the employment of judges for extra judicial functions paid for by the Provincial (Government was a danger to the independence of the courts, a stain upon their dignity and an obstacle to the good administration of justice and a menace to public liberty.This amendment was defeated, the votes standing : yeas 15, nays 32.The bill then possed its final stages.The Premier moved that the House go into committee on the bill to amend article 4124 of the Revised Statutes respecting land surveyors, which was then read a third time.He also moved the second reading of the bill to amend the law respecting agriculture and colonization as regards cooperative societies of farmers\u2019 clubs.Mr.Stephens asked that the bill stand so that it might be placed in members\u2019 hands, which was agreed to.The House then went into Committee of Supply.Mr.Dechene moved an amendment of want of confidence condemning the Commission of Agriculture for having sent copies of his annual report to the public press before it had been laid before the members.This amendment was defeated by a vote of 37 to 18.In committee on an item of $42,000, for inspection of schools.Mr.Bernatchez said there was no need for the outlay, and that the cures should do the inspection.The Premier said that the episcopate would certainly object to their priests becoming officials of the Government.The item was passed.On an item of $25,000, for farmers\u2019 clubs, the Hon.Mr.Beaubien said there were now 411 such societies, while last year there were only 60.This was an ample proof of their usefulness, but Mr.Bernatchez said he thought they had been formed on the impulse and enthusiasm of the moment, and their existence would not be permanent.Mr.Magnan advocated the establishment of a model farm In every county under the direction of scientific farmers, who could lecture and give practical assistance to his colleagues.Hon.Mr.Beaubien moved that the debate be adjourned, which motion was adopted.At the evening sitting several private bills were passed.Mr.Villeneuve then moved the, House into committee of the whole on the Montreal bill.Mr.Stephens moved an amendment that the cost of widening Cathedral, Inspector and Milton Streets be divided equally between city and interested parties.After some discussion the bill was held over for third reading.On the clause to permit the Recorder\u2019s Court Clerk to sit in the absence of that magistrate, Mr.Hall raised an objection on the ground that the Recorder was a Government officer, and the clerk merely a servant of the city which paid him and to whom he was subject.There were cases in which he took counsel with the City-Attorney concerning evidence to be submitted, and he could not be unbiassed.The Recorder also judged on many important cases, and it would be manifestly improper for the Clerk of the Court, who made out processes to afterwards try them.The clause was struck out on a vote of 18 nays to 13 veas.The clause providing that the city pay a part of the cost of pernianent paving in cases only where the whole street is to be paved, was struck out.The million dollar loan clause passed, and the bill was reported.Mr.Marion moved the bill back to Committee on Standing Orders to strike out Clause 17, preventing gas companies charging lower rates in onc street than another.The motion was ruled out of order.FATAL TAX RIOTS.Itallan Peasants Get Angry With Their Councillors.PALERMO, Dec.26.\u2014Lerare de Freddi, the scene of Saturday's fight between a mob and body of troops growing out of the anti- tax agitation last night witnessed a more serious affray in which four persons were killed, and many wounded.The fight Saturday in which two persons were wounded further inflamed the anger of the people and last evening they determined to make another demonstration against the odious octroi tax and the Municipal Councillors who insisted upon its enforcement.Largecrowdsgatheredandparadedthestreets and finally became so riotous that a body of troops were despatched to disperse them.The troops attempted to clear the streets, whereupon they were set upon by the rioters, who attacked them with stones and other missiles.The soldiers, who were supplied with ball cartridge, were ordered to fire upon the crowd, und they poured a volley into the ranks of the rioters, the effects of which caused most of the latter to flee in dismay.Four of their number were left dead in the streets, while many others fell Lo the ground more or less seriously wounded.(ireat excitement prevails in the town, and it may be that further trouble will occur when the funeral of the victims are held.CANNOT DE BOUGHT.World's Fair Portfolios Only Obtainable by Clipping Coupons.__ A LABOR TO DELIGHT IN.Whose Results Afford Amusement and Instruction\u2014And Most Fitly Adorn Any Home.The art portfolios of World's Fair views which are now being so widely distributed by this paper, are practically free to its readers, for the small amount of money which is required for the expenses of postage, wrapping, mailing, clerk hive, ete., is almost too trifling for serious consideration.It does cost a little trouble, however, to clip the coupons, and mail or bring them as directed.On this account there may be some readers who hope to buy them at the book or art stores even at the price which they would cost at retail\u2014about 89 euch portfolio.It should be remembered, however, chat this series of views is not on sale, therefore cannot be bought at any price.They ave not even on public view.They positively cannot be obtained except by presenting the necessary coupons.\u2018This statement is repeated so that readers may not neglect to clip the coupons as issued, hoping to secure the views in some easier way.In the first place, there is no other way, and if there were it could not be easier, since all they now cost practically is a little trouble, and few good things are enjoyed without some trouble.This coupon-clipping should be a labor of love, since the rich results thus obtained will bring amusement and instruction to every person who inspects the portfolios both now and in after years.In short, their possession will be a perpetual delight, and will repay a thousandfold the trifling expenditure either of {ime or money necessary to secure them.ONLY ONE COUPON NEEDED.Remember only one coupon is needed.The coupon for Portfolio No.One will be repeated for six days in succession so that six different members of the same household may secure a portfolio.Each portfolio of the series will have six coupons published, anyone of which will get a copy of the portfolio if sent to The Herald accompanied by ten cents.Yesterday through error a coupon for Portfolio No.Two was printed instead of for Portfolio No.One.\u2018Those who sent in that coupon will in due season receive the second series, but the regular coupons for the second portfolio will not appear until next Monday.The portfolio will Le sent by mail only and probably from a week to ten days will elapse between the mailing of the coupon and the receipt of the portfolio.McKane Gets a Stay.BrooxkLyn,

Schooner Pond.The crew got ashore safely.The Alaska is owned by John Woods and Sons, of St.John\u2019s.She will probably prove a total loss, as there is a heavy gale from the eastward raging, with snow.The Fire Record.NORTHPORT, Ont., Dec.2U.\u2014W.A.Benson's residence was burned to the ground last night.The fire appliances of the village not being what they should, and the wind blowing a gale, nothing could be done to save the building, and only for heroic work on the part of neighbors, the whole village would now have been in ashes.The building was insured in the Commercial Union Insurance Company.Sr.Tuomas, Ont., Dec.26.\u2014The St.Thomas Flax Mills, operated by W.Keith, were totally fdestroyed by fire about noon to-day.The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have been a spark from the chimney.Loss on buildings and stock about $4,000; no insurance.Eighteen men are thrown out of work by the fire.The Grand River Flood.BrANTFoRD, Ont., Dec.26.\u2014The flood in the Grand River is abating somewhat, but still continues to be serious.Early this forenoon it was discovered that the head gates of the canal were iu a very dangerous condition, and that the water was washing its way through the hanks there.A gang of men was immediately placed at work filling the place with sand bags and all available material to stop the water.So far the men have held their own, Had this bank at the head-gate given away the river would have changed its course to the cenal and done great damage to factories along the canal and property in Fagle Place.The water still continues fo run through many streets in West Brantford.Main Street is in a very bad condition, (ROSIN MURDER TRIAL Sensational Day's Proceedings in | the Chicago Court.| ! i The Defence Bring Out the Fact That She Expected to be Rewarded for Teliing What She Knew About the Murder of Dr, Cronin\u2014-Her Dislike for the Prisoner.Cnrcauo, Dec, 26.\u2014The second trial of Daniel Coughlin for the murder of Dr.Cronin, one of the most sensational criminal events in American history, which has been going on for some time, was resumed after the Christmas recess to-day.Mrs.Andrew Foy, whose husband was implicated in the murder, was under cross-examina- tion by ex-Judge Wing.The defense played its trump card at the conclusion of Attorney Wings\u2019 cross- examination on the evidence Mrs.Foy gave direct.The climax was much of a surprise to the witness and the prosecuting lawyers.Both became excited for a time.\u201cNow I will ask you what promises have been made you by the prosecution for testifying in this case, Mrs.Foy ?Was Attorney Wings\u2019 opening question.\u201cI swear before God and man that they have promised me nothing if 1 dvop dead this minute.\u201d Do you love your husband ¥\u2019 \u201cNot now.\u201d \u201cWhen did you cease to love him *\u201d \u201cNot since he tried to keep me from going on the stand three weeks ago.\u201d \u201cHave you not been living with Andrew Foy as your husband since you came into this Coury to testify 2\u201d .\u201c1 have not seen my husband this week.\u201d \u201cYour house has been full of policemen since you first came here; has it not *\u201d \u201cNo; only one policeman came to my house to see if 1 was all right.\u201d \u2018Have you not been living with your husband witnin the last week ?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d In correcting herself suddenly, the witness exclaimed in an excited manner : + No, no, no, you cannot catch me that way.\u201d \u201c Po you like this defendant?\u201d 1 have no reason to like hin.\u201d \u201c Didn't you send your regards to him in jail?\u201d we Yes, but that was to fool him ; I did not mean it.\u201d *¢ Are you fooling now 2\u201d ¢ No.Iam very much in earnest.\u201d ¢ [ave you no hope or expectation f reward for telling this story?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know about that.\u201d \u201c\u2018Oh ! you don\u2019t know as to that, eh !?\u201cI did not mean it in the way you insinuated.\u201d \u201cDidn\u2019t you accuse your husband of being the anarchist who threw the Hay market bomb ?\u201d \u201cIndeed I did not.\u201d \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you appear in Court at the first trial to testify for the prosecution ?\u201d «I was sick.\u201d \u201cYou were not too sick to go out of doors ?\u201d \u201cNo, I only went to church; I was under the doctor's care.\u201d \u201cDid you not tell George A.Bingley, a detective attached to the office of States Attorney Longenecker when he called on yon in 1889, that you never talked about this case with anyone who was not supposed to be connected with the mnrder, except your husband 7\u201d \u201cHe never asked me anything about the Cronin case.\u201d \u201cDid you not tell that Alex, Sullivan's name was never mentioned to you by auy- one suspected of having anything to do with this case ?\u201d \u201cI never did.I expect a lot of bad things will be said about me.\u201d A sensational incident happened at this stage of the trial, and interrupted the examination.Mrs.Foy was being questioned about money inducements, and wanted to give her answer in a way not acceptable to the defense.\u201cLet heranswer,\u201d said Attorney Bottom and simultaneously caine the words: \u2018Let us hear her answer,\u201d from the centre of the newspaper workers, The speaker was John Devoy, head of the Cronin Prosecution Committee and a well-known figure in Irish Nationalist aflnirs.Attorney Donoghue jumped and pointing his finger at Devoy exclaimed : \u201cWho is this gentleman who interrupts the Court ?\u201d \u201cLet the Court order him to rise ?\u201d \u201cDoes the Court ask me to stand up?\u201d said Devoy.Judge Tuthill reprimanded the speaker, but informed the defense that as a newspaper man and a member of the Cronin Committee, Devoy had as much right to be there as the Attorney Donoghue.Counsel took up the examination at the point where Mrs.Foy swore to Martin Burke passing her house on the night of May 9th, while she, her husband and several otlier persons were sitting on the front steps.Foy followed Burke and entered into conversation with him.The defence obtained from the witness the names and addresses of all the Irishmen who were sitting on the steps of the Foy residence that night beside her husband.One of them, Michael (Connor, the witness said, is a member of the police force in this city.The defence intends to make witnesses out of any of these men who will swear contrary to Mrs.Foy's testimony.It is expected to impeach her in that way and Coughlin\u2019s lawyers are considering the advisability of putting the defendant on the stand in this connection.Mr.Wing tripped the witness once and confused her for the first time.She testified last week, although not in reply to a question that her husband and Coughlin never closed the door of the secret conference room in the Foy House after the night of the murder.To-day she said the door was closed after the night of May 10, when her husband and Coughlin were talking in low tones in the front room.After May 4, she said Foy and Coughlin were found always talking about finding the body.When they met at her house she was able ta catch the tenor of their conversation because every night she went into the room to \u201cmind the baby.\u201d The witness reiterated the significant conversation which she had with the defendant on the night of May 12, when her husband was away from home, and she was afraid he had been arrested.She added to the story by saying that Coughlin told her to have no fear, that she would be would well taken care of by his friend, Alexander Sullivan, and that nobody knew who killed the doctor.\u201cDo you know this man 7\u201d asked Attor- nev Wing of the witness, pointing to Devoy.« Slightly.\u201d You know him well, don't you, as the private prosecutor in this case\u201d + I have met him a good deal lately.\u201d MRS.FOY'S STATEMENT UNDER FIRE.| Attorney Bottom was excit

of May, | that you did not believe that Cronin was murdered ¥\u2019 The State demanded that the question should be specitied as to names, und the | Judue sustained the objection.! Both of Coughlin's lawyers were on their feet to lauuch forth a bitter attack upon the methods of Police Inspector Schaack, | Captain Shutter aud Attorney Scanlan.Atty.Wing accused the police and Sean- lan,ihe proseentinglawyer,ot subjecting Jos.MeKenna to illegal avrest, of keeping him in the sweat-box for hours at the Chicago invesiigation, and the same Russian outrages were being perpetrated on other witnesses for the defence.\u201clt is an outrage ou this prosecution,\u201d shouted Attorney Bottom, interrupting: I call on Mr, Scanlan to repel this attack upon his honor.\u201d The young lawyer flashed out his statement to the Court, saying that McKenna had been charged with the murder of Croum with others, and it was his duty as an Attorney for the State to interview him.He had a right to do that, and he notified the defence that he would talk to more witnesses for the defence like McKenna in the same way whenever he pleased.There was a lull in the storm, but only for a minute.Attorney Donoghue was on his feer again accusing Mr.Bottom of unprofessional conduct in saying to his colleague loud enough for the jury to hear: \u201cThey are getting desperate,\u201d He demanded that the lawyer be reproved.Judge Tuthill said severely that such conduct was very improper and warned the jury not to pay any heed to what they heard.The trial was getting exciting as well as interesting aud half the people in the court rcom were standing up while the bailiff rapped for order, Then came the biggest play of the defence.Mrs.Foy was shown three letters which she acknowledged had been written by her.At the conclusion of the examination Mr.Wing put them in evidence and read thew to the jury.They showed that Mrs.Foy had offered her story first to the defense and had threatened that she would tell all to the State if she did not get rewarded and put the witness before the jury in the light of a disappointed revengeful woman who had peddled a murder story for.money, implicating her husband and told it in court after four years\u2019 silence.The letters were addressed to W.S.Forrest, who was leading counsel for Coughlin, Burke and O'Sullivan at the first trial.They were written at the time the appeal for à new trial was being heard before the Supreme Court.She wrote in the letter: \u201cI am going to make a sworn statement unless 1 get some reward.\u201d Nhe also declared that she knew all about the murder, and that when her husband came home the morning of May 5th, he said in answer to her question : \u201cI have heen helping to remove a soul into eternity.\u201d The second letter to Forrest was more menacing and aimed at Coughlin.She wrote: *\u2018I am going to have a chance now or know the reason why.Tell Dan I know all about his visits to my home.I knew all about the murder on the morning of «May 5th.My husband told me.Tell Coughlin that I have also suffered and I must have my reward.They have my curse.Now, remember, I an going to the State\u2019s Attorney.\u201d The third letter, unsigned, was about arranging for a meeting between Mrs.Foy and Forrest.The lawyer's answers were sent through a daily paper.Then the defense cross-examined the witness.On the re-direct examination, Mrs.Foy swore that when she visited Forrest at his office Attorney Wing was called in.She denied that she ever asked for money.She appealed io Mr.Wing to admit that he said to her: ¢ We did not get much money ourselves.\u201d Mrs.Foy was anxious to make the jury believe she was actuated by love for her husband in wanting to make a deal with the state or defeuce, and that his reformation was her only desire in life.«If you don\u2019t change my husband, I will make a public statement,\u201d were the words she swore she addressed to Forrest and Wing in the former's office.She swore that she told them : \u201cVery near, almost the same story,\u201d she did in Court when she visited Forrest\u2019s office.t That is not true,\u201d exclaimed Attorney Wing.\u201cDo you expect to get a divorce, Mrs.Foy *\u201d asked Mr.Wing, knowing what her answer would be.\u201cWe Catholics never get divorced.\u201d \u201cYou want to accuse him of murder and get rid of him that way 7 «It is an outrageous accusation,\u201d shouted Attorney Bottom on his feet like a flash.«That is all, Mrs.Foy,\u201d rejoined Attorney Wing, and the most sensational chapter in the history of the second trial of Dan Coughlin was closed.At the afternoon session Mrs.Laura Hennan and Mrs.John A.Lindgren testified and Mrs.Lindgren identified the pieces of flooring and shutter.Stephen Cooley and Police Captain Schuettler also testified.The latter's examination was not finished when the Court adjourned.The Six Days\u2019 Bicycle Race.New York,

ST.Joux, N.B., Dec.26.\u2014A sad tragedy was enacted this morning at the residence of a prominent citizen, (\u2018razed by domestic | trouble, à young wife and mother deliber- t ately ended her existence by putting a bullet from a revolver through her heart.The victim of the tragedy, Mrs.Thomas B.Gass, lived with her stepfather, Charles G.Turnbull, on King Street East.She was a lady highly accomplished and was in former Years a great favorite in society.Her marriage to Gass, nine years ago, was the com\" niencement of her trouble.He turned out to be a worthless fellow, who after squandering a fortune in a reckless manner, could .not earn a living for himself and family.About a year ago he leit his wife and went to Boston, where he has since lived.Mrs, Gass remained in St.John and by her own efforts entirely supported herself and her two children.She took her troubles greatly to heart and sometimes expressed her intention to end her life, but nobody thought she was in earnest, so the news of her tragic end was a great shock to all who knew her.She had evidently laid her plans with considerable forethought.She had carefully changed her clothing and attired herself in a white flannel wrapper.Drawing a couch in her room up in front of the fire, she placed the revolver against her left breast and fired.Death must have been instantaneous, for the bullet passed through her heart.OBITUARY.VICTOR SCHOELCHER.Paris; Dec.26.\u2014 Victor Schoelcher, the well-known French statesman, author and traveller, died to-day of pneumonia.M.Nchoelcher was born in Paris on July 21st., 1805; being the son of a prominent manufacturer of porcelain through whose efforts much progress was made in that industry.In 1829, M.Victor Schoelcher made a tour of the United States and Cuba, where he studied the slave question and became disgusted with the institution.The result was the publication of several works demanding the emancipation of the slaves.In 1848 he entered the Ministry of Marine as under secretary and proposed the decree that proclaimed the principle of emancipation for French negroes, and established a commission to prepare a law enfranchising them.It was also through his efforts that the use of the lash in the French navy was abolished.Subsequent to the coup d\u2019etat in 1851 he was expelled from France and Belgium and went to England.He did not return to France until after the first French defeats in the Franco- German war.During the siege of Paris lie served as a colonel on the general staff of the National Guard, commanding the artit- lery and did excellent service.After the capitulation of Paris he resigned his commission as colonel, and was elected a representative of the Seine.He was elected Senator Dec.16, 1877.JAMES

A BAD FOE When at Bay, a Half Ton Moose Often Makes a Most Formidable Charge Upon the Adventurous Sportsman\u2014The G rizzly »n Dangerous knemy at Close Quarters.Although the buffalo is now but a memory of the plains, and although moose, deer and grizzly bear havedwindled woefully in numbers, there is still considerable big game left in Amgrica for the ambitious hunter's seeking.Deer abound wherever forests have been preserved.\u2018There are CHARGED BY A WOUXDED MOOSE.large numbers of moose in Maine, the novtliwestern states and Canada, and the sporismen who desires to bag a grizzly bear ' y still find an occasional member of the Ursus haorribilis family in California and ther states.e American elk, or moose, as it is | more Popularly known, is one of the grandest targets the Yankee sportsman everdraws a bead on.It exoels all other existing deer in size and strength, and is wary and courageous enough to satisfy the most exacting hunter'sfancy.A big bull moose sometimes has afitlers five feet across from tip to tip and a temper of immense proportions, espe- | cially whea he is wounded and brought to bay by an adventurous sportsman.Sucha big fellow will weigh half a ton or more, and when he lowers his immense horns, gets Lis sharp hoofed fore feet ready for a deadly strike, and bears down upon a hunt- erin a mad charge, the latter will find excitement enongh to last a lifetime crowded into the few seconds that follow.i Those few seconds, too, may easily be his last if he is not quick of eye and foot and accurate of aim.A misstep, a bad attack of \u201cbuck fever\u201d that causes a wild shot, or à cartridge that fails to go off when it is needed as never before and the nimrod may be à dead: man in à few moments unless he can reach and mount a friendly tree.As a usual thing, however, the moose considers prudence the better part of valor and will trot away with extraordinary speed unless enraged hy wounds, cornered or attacked in September and October, the months when the moose pair and when the males re very ferocious.The female moose leaves the fighting to the bulls ordinarily, but when with her young she proves a very dangerous foe to the hunter.September and March are considered the best months for moose hunting, for in the former month the antlered monarch of the forest is in his prime, and in the latter the crust aids the hunter and makes the moose an easy prey.\u2018The true sports- | man, however, rarely demeans himself by | resorting to \u2018\u2018crust hunting,\u201d for in such sport the moose has little chance for his life, and one of the honest nimrod\u2019s cardinal principles is that game should not be taken by an unfair advantage.In crust hunting the hunter easily glides over the hard snow on snowshoes, but the moose breaks through and can be run down with comparative ease.When exhausted the bull monse wili turn on the enemy and make a desperate fight for life.There are probably more moose in Maine than in any other state of the union.The reason of this is the fuct that it costs $100 to shoot a cow or calf moose at any time in the state, and bull moose can only be legally shot during October, November and December.The result of this far sighted policy is that there are from 2,500 to 8,000 moose now ranging the woods of the Pine Tree state.It is asserted that the Maine moose is a very knowing creature and thoroughly posted on international law.In proof of this statement it is said that the moment a Maine moose learns that a Yankee hunter is on its trail it strikes a fasy trot, makes a beeline for the Canadian frontier and never stops to bite off a single twig until something tells it that the British flag is waving above it.\u2018When a Canadien huntergoes gunning for this student of the game laws it concludes that there is nothing the matter with the United States and proceeds to get inte Maine with speed and dispatch.Audubon ence srid that the heud of the moose re \u2018 CLOSE QUARTERS WITH A GRIZZLY.minded him of that of an enormous jackass, but judging from the above stories | there is very litele of the jackass about the Maine moese.One of the largest moose ever shot in Maine or elsewhere was killed in November in the Tobique river regicn by J.Ruw- ley, curator of the Museum of Natural History, New York city.It will be the mou- arch of a group of seven moose mounted for exhibition in the museum.This big fellows antl \u2014~s spread 59 inches, and each antler had 14 points.Some one Las said that the grizzly bear is to the American fauna what the Bengal tiger is to that of Hindoostan and the lion to that of Central Africa.The statement i8 well founded, for Old Ephraim is the most dangerous game the American hunt- | er ever meets.Many a sportsman has

ug effectively asa lion.À single bug from his powerful forefeet is almost certain death, and a blow from one of them will crush a man\u2019s skull or disembowel a horse or a buffalo.In hugging, as in striking, the grizzly's long.slurp, crooked claws, which often exceed 6 inches in length, perforin a deadly work.They sink deep into the victim's back in one case and rip his body like a blow from a sharp sword in the other.A big grizzly occasionally reaches the enormous proportions of 9 feet frown nose to tail, and weighs 1,200 or 1,500 pounds.Some idea of its enormous strength may be gained from the fact that in the days when buf- ! faloes were plentiful, grizzly bears would | net onty often kill à big bull with a single blow of its paw, as the bull furiously charged, but would also pick up the car-\u2019 cass and carry ii away where the flesh could be devoured at ease, \u2018When attacked by a grizzly, the hunter's only hope is to kill the bear by well directed shots before it gets at close quarters.Flight will not avail, for the grizzly can easily overtake a man on foot.Shinning up a tree is equally futile, for a grizzly can go UD à tree like à jumping jack up its pole.If the rifle fails, a Jong bowie knife is a good friend at close quarters, but the hunter thus meagerly armed who escapes with his life or with minor injuries from a hand to hand combat with a big grizzly was certainly born under the luckiest kind of a star.EARLE H.EATON.The Bicycle Sail.Every bicyclist will be interested in the invention of Charles D.White of San Ber- nardino, Cal., who has devised a method of attaching a sail to his safety wheel.In the past it has been hard to find a way of satisfactorily attaching a mast to the common bicycle, and that was the desideratum.But Mr.White has found the means and has Already tried himself with fine success.It fs said that a number of cyclists are using the sail and are gratified with the results.Mr.White worked hard with the idea.The only difficulty experienced was in securing the sail firmly to the wheel.After THE BICYCLE SAIL, several attempts Mr.White made a head block, in which the end of the mast was placed and secured.This block can be removed very easily by taking off the burrs on two bolts, When the sail is removed, the block does not interfere with the use of the machine in any manner, nor has it a displeasing look to the eye.Mr.White's sail is attached to a 10 foot mast and an 8 foot boom and weighs six pounds and nine ounces.The cost complete is about $10, if the work is performed by the individual himself.Almost any one can make a sail and place it on the wheel.\u2018With a few hours\u2019 practice a good wheelman can easily manipulate it and enjoy a ride.Billy Plimmer and the Colored Unknown, Billy Plimmer was

British Ambassador at, Paris, ia a novel in verse, with rhymed couplets, cast somewhat in the mould of Mrs, Browning's\u201c Aurora Leigh.\u201d 19.Dreams.- By OLivE 8CHREINER.Though unlike the \u201cStory of an African Farm,\u201d \u201cDreams\u201d has many of the charac- teristies which made Miss Schreiner's carly work famous.The book is both interesting and suggestive, and, besides its high medita: tive qualities, is rich in the discussion of those wental and moral problems which this clever writer delights to propound to herself and lay before the thoughtful reader.20.Black Beauty.BY ANNA SEWELL.The tale well deserves its great popularity, forit is wonderfully realistic, and makes a strong appeal to those who love dumb animals and possess the instinct of common humanity.L is a book to charm and impress all wlio have to do with horses, especially those who seek to suppress that most senseless of all vices, cruelty te animals.21, One of the Profession.A CHARMING THEATRICAL NOVEL.\u201cLam very glad to have your story,\u201d Mary E.Wilkins writes in a note to the author of \u201cOne of the Profession,\u201d \u2018\u2018and it interests me deeply.{ knew nothing of the dramatic life which you depict, and it has ior me the charm of novelty, although the strength of the story by no means depends upon that, lhave always felt that there was agreat chance for good work in that fleld if the writer came w ho was familiar with it.\u201d The book chains the interest of the reader from the first chapter, embodying all that fascination and mysterious charms which the player, having one life in & mimie world be- re all men, audanother niysterious unknown will always have for the people on the other sido of the footlights.22 Sartor Resartus, BY THOMAS CARLYLE.Few men have given a mightier impulse to the intellectual and moral {ite of his age than homas Carlyle.Heis perhaps the most profound, the most dramatic, the most imaginative, and the most original writer of the century.With greatacuteness of thought and a marvellousiy forcefu] power and description.he has enriched the literature of the time as no other writer has enriched it.\u201cSartor Re- sartus\u201d (the tailor remade) is of the same uni- gue type as Carlyle\u2019s own character.It professes to be a review of a German treatise on dress; but it is this only in an allegorical metaphysical sense.It isin reality under a figure of a vesture of clothes, a veiled metaphysics, according to which all things visible, espcci- ally we ourselves, are but a garment of sensuous appearance.Every object has a double significance ; but far down, in the heart of things, aud under every apparition, is the fair and indestructible reality.24.The Pleasures of Life.By 8rr Joux Luesock, Br.This is one of the most _insiructive as well as the delightful books of the time.It is writton wich a student\u2019s devotior, and interest, and the authors enthusiasm infects every

the Lake, By SsR WALTER Scorr.This, the most popular of the great modern troubadaiurs poems.is of the same chivalric type as \u2018\u201c Marmion,\u201d and tho \u201cLay of the Last Minstrel.\u201d though it is morerichly picturesque, as well as more interesting in piot.The same glow of national feeling-breathes through the oem, the same felicity of description, the same Fain and olor.the same instinct for and! ove of martial ardor, with many fnimitable touches cf tender passion.Scott's fervid pairiotism and love of country are cqually distinguishable in the poem and animates and illumines every line, In the power of stinple marrative this famous metrical romance isalmest unequalled.26.Mornings in Florence, By Jonx Ruskiy, LL.D.There is no greater writer of English prose than Ruskin; his diction is magnificent, while his feeling for the beautiful in art or in nature isunexanipled.He is not only a versatile art- critie, but perhaps the most learned as well as the most enthusiastic exponent of architecture.His \u201cMornings in Florence\u201d are charmn- ing studies of the beauties of the historic Florentine capitsl, told with a levers interest in art, and with much elevated thought and inspiring reflection.The passages are many that fascinate the reader by theireloquence and fuggestivoness.None has said truer or finer ings, yXEW BOOK will be added each week.&# These

FOR FAIRS AND FOR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL.The Plain White Apron Symbolic of Neatness and Womanliness\u2014Lace Ruffled Affairs Become Coquettish Articles of At- tire\u2014Quaint Shapes For Little Girls.The white apron is a relic of sweet, 01d fashioned days, when a woman\u2019s sphere was home and the babies at her knee represented her mission.There is something symbolic of neatness, purity and womanliness in a white apron, and, paradoxical a8 it may seem, it is also the most co- TWO VIEWS OF FICHU APRON, raottish article of attire which a woman can wear.The woman of fashion who has an eye for artistic effect dons a ridiculous little bit of ruffled swiss or chiffon and ties it about her waist with a satin ribbon.It is the piece de resistance of her toilet.The men for whom she pours tea may whisper complimentsabout her eyes, her hair, her little hands, but they regard her apron with masculine awe and reverence.The lace ruffle is very full, and the \u201cbib\u201d is formed entirely of points.The material used is finelawn.The dotted swiss apron has become jdentified with the church fair, but it is nevertheless one of the prettiest kinds.The New York Herald tells that in the round and square designs, with wide lace ruffles or narrow edge, it is a becoming and useful article, either for afterncon tea or while embroidering, as it will protect the dress from the crumbs and threads which follow in the wake of these occupations.Novel sewing aprons are made from embroidered bedticking, with pockets for the scissors, thimble and the various implements of sewing.Another curious apron seen at a fair was made from a fringed linen towel with a colored border.One end of the towel was cut off, and the retnaining portion, apron length, was gathered to a band.The remaining picce of towel\u2014border and fringe\u2014was *\u2018herring boned\u201d across the front of the apron with thread of the same color as the towel border, Sewing pockets were formed by this odd ornamentation.There is nothing prettier or more dainty for little girls than white aprons, and when worn over dark dresses the contrast is pleasing.This season brings a revival of the fashion, especially for school wear\u2014even for misses of 12 and 18 years, The Household illustrates and describes some quaint shapes for girls from 4 to 10 years of age.One of these has fichu ties crossed in front and tiedin the back, as shown by the sketch.The WITH SHOULDER CAPS.WIilH COLLAR, body of this apron is a plain yoke, with the skirt gathered on in Mother Hubbard style.The fichu is confined to the yoke in the back, and half way from the shoulder to the middle of the yoke in front, forming a gathered cape.From here the fronts are left unconfined and are crossed to tie at the back.Thisisadain- ty little apron for school or house wear.Another pretty style is made with a full front and back, with plain side pieces which are shaped somewhatat the waist.The shoulder caps are made very full of the material, trimmed with embroidery, and are sewed into the plain side seam.A quaint style for misses\u2019 aprons shows a biblike front without back, and upon this is fitted a wide sailor collar, low and pointed in front, that it may be slipped over the head.The skirt is full and plain, and a wide belt of the same is tied with bow and ends at the back.Revivals In Fancy Work.There is a decided return in the art embroidery shops to the canvas work, cross and overstitch work of our grandmothers\u2019 samplers, The revivals come, too, with all modernimprovements, The garish red, green and blue wools combined without any other idea than to get a variety, after the manner of the beginning of the century work, have vanished, and the pale tones of the art worker of today are in their place.Banners, sofa pillows, screen panels and the like are shown in the canvas and will be welcomed by many women who have never attained the Kensington stitch and to whom the mysteries of brush and color are still a sealed book.Inexpensive Toys.An ingenious father has amused his children by building houses, fences.trees, etc., of red and white gumdrops, held together by

SUGGESTIONS FOR BEDROOMS.The Pretty Idea of Each Room Having Its Flower.These are days when the labor of furnishing a house becomes an artistic pleasure, and the perfect harmonizing of car- jets, wall papers, furniture and even bric-a-brac is by no means a difficult task.Housewives have gone through with various crazes, such as the color rooms, the nations rooms, etc., and now comes the pretty idea of flower rooms.As explained nn the New York Tribune, each bedroom sas Îts flower.The walls are covered with a paper on which is a design of the lower.The bedspread, which is made of & heavy cotton cloth, is in the French , shape, is drawn up to cover the round | bolster, and no pillows are used even when the bed is arranged for the night.The edge of the cloth is cut in large : scallops finished with 2 Jeep buttonhole | Stitch in silks of the sk.ces of the flow- ; er, and this flower is also embroidered | in some artistic manner upon the cover.| A deep flounce of heavy lace falls from | under the scalloped edge.Pincushion and bureau covers are embroidered in the same flower, and the towels that hang inside the white wash- { stand have the monograms in the same | shades.The bedsteads are of brass, and | the rest of the furniture is white.Dainty muslin curtains tied back with ribbons of the proper hue hang at the windows.Even the bric-a-brac in these beautiful rooms correspond in color, and on the * walls, framed in white, are etchings or soft water colors\u2014sometimes these latter are clusters of the room's flower.In the guests\u2019 rooms even the writing tables boast exquisite china accessories that are decorated with the flower.Each room is called by the name of its flower \u2014the \u2018\u2018violet,\u201d \u201cclover,\u201d \u201cgolden rod,\u201d \u201cwild rose\u201d or \u2018\u2018chrysanthemum\u201d room.To carry out in detail the foregoing a somewhat heavy purse is necessary, and there are many pleasant homes where less expensive decorations are desirable.It is surprising to see how attractive simple rooms can be made by the aid of flowered cheesecloth, deal boxes and a little ingennity.For the iron bedstead, painted white, a French cover can be made of the cheesecloth, with a valance of the same material.A large box forms the dressing table.This is covered with cheesecloth, a deep ruffle forming the front and sides, the top being plain.A strong board a few inches wide and about four feet high shonld be nailed in the center at the back of the box in an upright position, and to the top of the board may be fastened a small crossbar extending out over the dressing table.From the top of the board to the two back corners of the box the cheesecloth is to be draped so as to form a triangle and conceal the board.Another long - piece of the cloth edged with lace on one side is thrown over the crossbar, falling below the sides of the table and forming a small canopy.A square mirror, its frame covered with folds of the cheesecloth, should be hung diagonally on the board at the back.Pine shelves made like a simple bookcase and painted white provide a place for the usual contents of bureau drawers, and before these are hung curtains of cheesecloth.The washstand may consist of a white table, but it would be a mistake to drape this in any way with the cloth, as it would soon assume a bedraggled appearance if water was spilled upon it.White muslin curtains tied back with ribbon to match the flower on * the cheescivth should ang at the windows.A rocking chair, three or four other | chairs, a small writing table, a neat mat- { ting on the floor, and the walls simply papered or painted in tints that harmonize with the general coloring completearoom where any one with an easy conscience might delight to rest.The Convenient Linen Eag.When there is space for it, a wicker hamper with cover is the very best receptacle for soiled linen.Many house- A FANCIFUL LINEN BAG.wives, however, give preference to bags for this purpose.Some very pretty linen bags are made of colored linen for working with white flax threads; others are of twill or drilling.The average bag is made square and arranged to draw up at the top with a string or tape.There are also more fanciful arrangements of this useful article, such as the one here reproduced from The Housewife.Homely Hints.In purchasing canned goods it isa safe rule to observe whether the head of the can is concave, a bulging appearance being indicative of decomposition.and hands in a hot kitchen should be set away till thoroughly chilled, dut all trouble might have been saved by using cold fat, flour and liquid at first, and the texture of the dough would have been better.The most delicate way to boil an egg is to pour boiling water over it and allow it to remain without boiling for 10 minutes.It will be found perfectly cooked.To polish zinc, wash clean, wipe dry and rub with a woolen rag moistened with coal oil.Do not boil turnips or carrots or any other vegetables with meat, as both are apoiled therebr., RE Doughs that stick to rolling pin, board | MONTREAL DAILY Social Notes.Under the auspices of the Gaiety Canadi- vnne Club, assisted by a number of heir friends, Miss Rose Bourdon was agreeably surprised at her residence, 2,013 Notre Dame Sree, on Christmas night.The oc: casion being the young lady's birthday, it was made doulily interesting by the presentation of an elegant gold watch and chain.The evening was pleasantly spent in dancing, music being furnished by the Toronto Orchestra.The ladies present wure : Miss Leroux, Mrs.Hulart.Miss Demers, Mrs.Primault, Mrs.Bourdon, Mrs, Peltier, Mrs.Desau- tels, Mrs.Duquette, Mrs.Dishotel, Mrs.Quillet, Mrs.Primault, Mrs.Hubert, Mrs.Bergevin, Mrs.Terrier, Mrs.Dubois, Mrs.Hellise, Mrs, Gagne, Mrs.Montpetit, Mrs.Ds Ne, Permianteau, Mrs, Cardinal, Mrs.Boisbert, Mrs, Baker.tu vo el: tard, ¢i.Bonden, A.Perras, A.Delmand, 0.Brumelle, Berard, ¢.\u2018loupin, EK.Leboeuf, D.Bourdon, ti.B.Brumelle, L.Gi.Fortin, 8.Warren, A.Denun, M.St.Marie, A.Bertrand, C.Senecal, P.berge- vin, N.Lalonde.E.Bergevin.L.A.Morin, N.Lachapelle, i.A.Daoust, G.M.Daoust, =.L.Herman.AFTER LONG YEARS.PART THIRD.CHAPTER MI.AT THE BAL D'OPERA.1 hate her!

Oh, T wish Thad died before 1 ever came here!\u201d 1+ Wis the burden of the moan ** Mademoiselle Donuy \u201d had been making to herself forthe last twodays.To Pauline, who brought her her meals, she scorned o speak at all.She luy like a stone, wking no questions, answering none, scarcely touching the food.Then again it times the fierce passions inherited aonestly enough from those who had siven her life would assert themselves, md ler piercing cries would ring through he rooms.She would beat on the iocked door and barred window until her ands bled and she sank exhausted and weathless upon the floor.It was known o all madame s household that the poor child, raving so madly in that bolted and barred upper room, was hopelessly insune, md in another day or two would be safe- y shut up in a maison de sante.She lies now prostrate on the floor, her head resting against the side of the bed.All day long at intervals, her wild cries have rung out, the little dark childish hands have beaten against the unyielding loor.Madame\u2019s nerves have not been disturbed thereby.Madame has spent the long sunny day amid the wooded slopes and sunlit glades of St.Cloud with her cavalier servante, Lord Viscount Dynely, and the pallid curate\u2019s widow.Sow it is past eleven at night, and she grovels prone here, spent, white, exhausted, hey dusk eyes gleaming weirdly n Ler pallid child's face, her eltish black hair all tossed and dishevelled over her shoulders.** 1f he were here,\u201d she thinks with a reat sobbing sigh, *\u2018he would save ne.Oh.if T had only stayed with him that night, and never come here!

MONTREAL HERALD CO.603 Cralg Street, EDWARD HOLTON, ROBT.MACKAY, President, Vice-President.E.G.OCONNOR, Sec-Treasurer MONTREAL, DECEMBER 27.THE TWO PHYSICIANS.From the depths of his head, Sir John Thompson has fished up a notable theory us to the difference between the respective policies of Government and Opposition, Ho credits his Government with an intention to go ns far as the Opposition in the way of tariff reform, and declares that the only difference hetween the two policies is that while the Con- sevvadives are determined to revise the turill only after the closest examination, and with the utmost caution, the Liberals are ready, if given the chance, to snish it at a moment's notice.He forgets, when he advances this remarkable theory, that inthe presence of the protected manu- facittrers he professes to observe an even more radical difference.Te forgeis to meution that while the Consorvatives are pledged to protection, the Liberals ave sworn to destruy it.Ie keeps this declaration for manufacturers in their fastnesses ancl tells the farmers nothing of a policy that will turn the votes of farmers aud consumers all against the Government, He hopes to torvify the farmers by his picture of the results of the Liberal policy.He imagined as saying, in paraphrase of the recent utterances of a highly subsidized and ably edited organ of the American protectionist, \u2018\u201c À policy which spreads bitter privation over this land of plenty; which substitutes the pauper\u2019s dole for the honorable reward of toil; which takes away the fundamental right of freemen to labor and enjoy the results of their iabor; which in this great Dominion of unbounded resources and matchless wealth stmnps out the dire un the work- uy be ingmen\u2019s hearth, sweeps the working- inan\u2019s table bare of wholesome food, and clothes\u2018 tho workingneais children in rags, is a crime without palliation or ex- euse.\u201d Sir.John perhaps could notsayany- thing half so well.but he might try.In the city he comforts the mantlac- turer by offering him this picture as a potent weapon for the intimidation of the workingman.Such things, he says, would follow any interference with protection.Dut among the farmers, he is content to foretell this abomination of desolation as à result not so much of free trade itself as of the incnutious injection of that elixiv to the paralysed tissue of agriculture.This ho says, would follow immediately upon the creation of a Liberal majority.Thus, in a breath, the farmer's market would be wiped out, the farmer would follow the workingman down the awful valley of extinction and this fair country, with its tall chimneys and smiling farm lands, would be given over once again to roaming hunter tribes, warlike and fierce.The conclusion is absurd enough, but it is no more absurd than the generale proposition with whieh Sir Johu has sought to terrify the several industrial, commercial and financial classes of the community, Capital is proverbially timid, and it shrinks from every possible disturbance.Consequently Conservative mouthpieces have done their party almost incalculable service by the eircu- lation of such which vaneed.has been into theories as those Sir John Thompsen has ad- The theory in evolved with question some inue- nuity and promulgated with some skill, but the people have been hoodwinked, and they have been terrified for the last time.1t is an indisputable fact that no party of sane men would propose to destroy, without the closest.examination, and the utmost caution.a fiscal system which has been fifteen years in the building.Ifa man had.ruined his health by the inordinate use of alcohol or opium, no sane physician who had undertaken to cure him of his habit, and reinvigorate his system and save his life, would prescribe an immediate and complete abstinence.The craving woull be allowed to taper fpatience.lt is moval of (he stimulant upon which he ; has che azht himself to have existed.His pica will not be with | that heard bad enouch 00 he should have erred im his treatment.3.00 | It is encouraging that he should have THREE MONTHS - - - - = 1.50 ' confessed his fault.But his motive in | accusing his rival of ignorance of first ; principles is plainly apparent.The | \"charge that the Liberal party premeditates a hasty and illjudged assault upon the protective system is as plainly : without basis.1t is true that the Lah- eral party will, in the end, insist upon | the utter abandonment of protection, But it will bring that about by wise and cautious legislation.There is no cause for alarm.The Liberal physician is so solicitous for the patient\u2019s ! welfare that hoe will commit no error of rashness.He is so anxious that the drug should leave no svidence of its ravages that he will lead the patient from its use most carefully and skilfully.THE ASYLUM DEAL.The Beauport Asylum matter presents the Legislative Council with an exceptionally excellent opportunity to establish its claim to Lu deemed a check upon hasty legislation, and to prove by the proper exercise of that funciion, its right to exist.The bargain proposed by the Government and sanctioned by the majority in the Assembly is, in all its bearings, an infimous one.It is doubly infamous, because it involves not only the | robbery of the treasury, but a trading upon the misfortunes of, perhaps, the most unfortunate class of sons in existence.It would provide that the should pay nearly half a million dcilars for a property that on a fair valuation is worth no more than half that sw, per- province It involves a larger sma of money than did any of the improper transactions of which the previous was guilty.It saddles the provinee for sixty years with the responsibility of payment for a ten- yesr maintenance of a system that is already obsolete.lt imposes the necessity for the immediate payment of $75,000 for repairs that are imperh- tively necessary.Ti provides no guarantee that even when thoseimprove.- ments are wade the asylum will offer such accomodation as the proper treatment of the suflerers and the safety and benefit of the public demand.It is so plainly indefensible at all points that the mative of the Government in submitting it to the Legislature lias been gravely questioned.The Government has made administration sition and has submitted itself to the judgment that its members, with full in- teut, are determined to enrich certain of their political supporters at the expense of the people, or are grossly ignorant of their duties.It 1s well-known that a determined effort will be made to force the deal through the Legislative Council and the absence of Messrs.Gammeau, Ross and Starnes yesterday encouraged Government supporters to the belief that the ! caso of the Opposition was ahopeless onc.| To is the duiy of these gentiemcu to be in their to-day ab any cost, but even in their absence it is inconceivable that in the Upper Chamber will be found a majority in support of what has been not unjustly described as one of the worst jobs that have ever been perpetrated in provincial politics.pinces AN Era of remarkably cheap gas is promised Philadelphia, A company has made » proposition to the city te erect a plant for the production of water gas at a cost, in ihe holder of not to exceed 25 cents per 1,000 cubic fect.The works ave to have a producing capacity of 2,000,000 feet per day.and the gas to have à brilllancy of 22 candles, the ordinary illuininating gas having not much | more than 16-candle power.The company voluntauiiy undertukes to remove the Philc\u2018clphia works ut its own expense if ic fails to do as agreed, provided that if it succceds the city shall pay it the amount by which the actual cost is less than 25 cents, down to a limit of 24 cents, or 10 per cent.on the stated rost of production.À civic commitiee has recommended the acceptance of the offer.THE RECENT DEATH of Hon.Edward Stanhope has opened a sent which the Gladstcnians may win.He represented Horncaetle, Lincolushire, to which he was elected without opposition at the | last general elections.He was then one | of the great Ministers of State, and his prestige and territorial influence overawed the Liberals.At the previous election in 1886, however, his election candidate, a local farmer, ran him pretty off ina judicious, however clearly defined, | closely, his majority being less than 700 lessening of the dose.This country is in a like emergency.Its industries bave been subjected to an unwholesome stimulation.They even appear, to the unpracticed cr to the prejudiced eye, to have thriven under the treatment.But the stimulant has nevertheless been preying upon their vitality and the nccessity for a remedy is apparent to all who have their best interests at heart.At this juncture a physician who, for purely selfish reasons, has prescribed the noxious drug is called to task by a physician who is determined that the life of the patient shall be saved.The first physician accepts the reprimand, but persists in his determin- | ation to administer the drug in such ! quantities as he himself thinks best.In one quarter he defends his use of the drug.In another, while admitting that in a total vote of about 8,000.\"he constituency is an agricultural one.The registration now is new and the Liberals have a fighting chance.THis Is NOT THE first time that governors and sherils in the States have promised to stop a prize fizht and the respectable press over there has systemati- caily condemned the ring.But so strongly is the moral sentiment of the American people aroused against the Corbett-Mitchell fight, so hard is every good American working to prevent the men from fighting, that it has been shrewdly suggested that our cousins to the South are afraid the Dritisher will : win.A CORRESPONDENT asks us if we should | be surprised to learn that Ottawa is not north of Montreal.but as nearly as possible

the Eastern representative of the Duval Club yesterday.The club and principals favored the daylight scheme, but many letters were received from sporting men suggesting that the fight take place at night, and so the former plan was abandoned.They Want to Capture Costello in Canada.INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec.26.\u2014Governor Matthews is in correspondence with officials of Lake County concerning an attempt to capture Pugilist Costello in Canada, and bring him into Indiana for sentence.It is doubtful if prize-fighting ie an offence serious enough to enable the officers to secure Costello.But the fact that he is a fugative from justice will in all probability be sufficient to obtain the approval of the Canadian oflicers.Sure the Fight Will Come Off.A great deal of consternation was caused the other day amongst followers of ring matters, when it was learned the Governor would prevent the Corbett-Mitchell fight taking place in Florida; even saying that if necessary the militia would be called out.The Duval Athletic Club, under whose auspices the fight will be held, was, however, in no way disconcerted about the manifesto.The Club\u2019s Manager said that he was ore than ever convinced that the fight would take place.The club has 100 men at work pushing forward the work on the arena, and making other preparations for the aftair.« Of course,\u201d he continued, *¢ we do not pretend to say that Governor Mitchell will not do everything thet he conceives to be his duty, but at the same time we are assured that Governor Mitchell will be equally slow to interfere when it shall be demonstrated to him that the contemplated match is not a violation of the law.\u201d The club expects in a few days to secure an injunction which will restrain any officer from interfering

Pitcher\u2019s Castoria, TO CHECK EXCESS.City\u2019s Borrowing Powers Should Be Limited.Ald.Smith Gives Reasons Why the Legislature Should Fix That Limit at Fifteen Per Cent.of the Taxable Property of the City, To the Editor of The Herald: Sir \u2014The question of the city\u2019s financial position, is one which has been much discussed of late, and yet one which it is to be feared is but litle understood by the ratepayers.Even the majority of the City Council have Apparently but little conception of the true atate of affairs.Iv is to be regretted that the Finance Committee and the City Treasurer have not given any clear and concise statement showing both sides of the matter, simplifying the whole so as to make it intelligible to ordinary persons, and eliminating references to future expenditures not yet decided on, and which may or may not take place, as for instance, the widening of William Street, the extension of St.Lambert Street to the river, the widening of Jacques Cartier street, and of many other street- mentioned by Mr.Robb.I is unquestions ably true that the criticism of the finances of a city in the public press is in many ways undesirable, and yet the time for silence is past.Before a cure can be effected it is necessary to clearly understand the disease, and it is the duty of a true friend to point out dangers in order that they may Le averted.These dangers have in any case been already pointed out in à very etn- phatic manner in the statements furnished to the press by the City Treasurer.As already stated, the first point to be considered is the actual financial condition of the city.How does Montreal compare with other cities, such as Toronto, Humil- ton, Halifax and Winnipeg ?The assessment of Toronto, for 1893, is $150,766,000 exclusive of church, government, municipal and other exempt property which amount to $23,215,386.The total net debenture debt on December, 3lst, 1892, was $16,587,812, or just about 11 per cent.ot the taxable property.This includes the total amount expended for local improvements, which are not properly part of the city debt, as they are a mortgage on properties fronting on the streets benefitted, and bear interest at 6 per cent.until repaid to the city.Deducting this item, the net debenture debt is $13,145,979, or only 8% per cent.of the taxable real estate, The borrowing powers of Toronto ave limited to 123 per cent.on one hundred millions of assessed (taxable) property and 8 per cent.on the excess.Hamilton, the \u2018Ambitious City\u201d of Ontario, has an assessed taxable valuation of 824,465,640, exclusive of exemptions amounting to $4,900,600.The debt is $2,897,305, or 11 per cent.of the taxable value.Halifax ha- an assessed taxable valuation of $22,364,507, and a debt of $2,458,612, or less than 11 per cent.Winnipeg has had a heavy burden to carry as a legacy from the extravagance of the boom, and its debt is considered heavy.Yet what is the position?Assessed taxable real estate $21,692,300, debt $2,572,- 507, or less than 12 per cent! When compared with most of the neighboring cities south of the line the debts of these Canadian cities appear heavy.Take, for instance, Detroit.The taxable valuation is $199,679,210, and the debt $2,177,433, or about 1 per cent.Ths city moreover owns real estate valued at $18,756,319.Its borrowing powers are limited to 2 per cent.on the taxable property.Turning now to our own oity, let us see how it compares with those we have named.The assessed taxable property of Montreal for 1893 is $131,000,000, and the exemptions $33,000,000.The net bonded debt is already $21,600,000, or 16} per cent.of the taxable property ! The real estate tax of 1 per cent.amounted last year to $1,134,632.Of this amount $800,456 was required to meet the payments of interest alone.Seventy per cent.of the total real estate tax has thus to be used in merely keeping the city afloat by paying interest on the bonded debt, and only 30 per cent.of it is available for current expeuses and improvements.That interest charge has, moreover, already been increased to $869,201 during the currency of this year.And in the face of this it is proposed to borrow another million dollars to give to the Canadian Pacitic Railway for an East End station and hotel, and to incur still further liabilities by widening a number of other streets.Where will we be if all the so-called \u201c\u201cimprovements\u201d suggested by Mr.Robb are carried out ?The debt of $21,600,000 is by law a first lien on all the taxable real estate of the city.This means that there is a first mortgage on every taxable house and lot, to the amount of nearly one-sixth of its assessed value.The province of Quebec has come in for much adverse criticism on account of its debt.But that total debt, including the railway subsidies, is only $33,000,000, and it is secured by the whole province, including the city of Montreal.If Mr.Robb\u2019s estimate of what the city requires to borrow be correct, then the debt of the city alone is not very much less than that of the whole province.These facts are sufficient to prove that the extreme limit of safety has now been reached, and that any continuance in the present reckless course of borrowing is sure to lead to disastrous consequences.At present we are still on solid ground, but this will not long continue to be true un- Jess the necessary safeguards are imposed.The ordinary debt of municipalities rarely exceeds 10 or 12 per cent.of the taxable property, and 15 per cent.is usually considered as an outside limit.In fact, a municipality whose debt exceeds 12 per cent of its taxable property usually experiences great difficulty in disposing of its securities.Most towns or municipalities have no power to issue debentures unless the by-law be approved by a special vote of the ratepayers.This power of veto is of the greatest importance, and there can be little doubt that if it had existed in Montreal, our debt would not amount lo its present figure.But in addition to this it is urgently required for the protection of the taxpayers that a strict limit be pluced on the borrowing powers of the council.At present there is a nominal limit of fifteen per cent.on the total real estate the city, including exempted properties.This limitation is of no practical value, and for several reasons.In the first place it is too high.In the next placeit is based on a wrong principle for the percentage should be on the taxable property, and not on what is exempt.Montreal stands, so far as known, absolutely alone in basing its debt on all properties including those that are not liable for taxation.But in the third place, the restriction is uite useless for practical purposes.\u2018here is nothing to prevent the City Council from raising the valuation of exempt properties to almost any sum, for people are quite indifferent as to what sum churches, convents, and parks are assessed at, since there are no taxes to be paid on them.The proof of this is that this year the exempt properties were raised at one jump from twenty-two millions to thirty-three millions, an increase of 50 per cent.By this little book entry power was obtained to borrow one million six hundred and fifty thousand dollars more ! And the transaction could be repeated as often us desired, This whole auestion has been discussed The Norihwestern Chioride of Gold INSTITUTE.LOCATED AT RHINELANDER, WIS.Furnishes absolute cure for Drunkenncss, Tobacco, Morphine and kindred habits, Full information, terms and treatises on thesc diseases furnished on application.* No cure no pay.\u201d H.C.KEITH.M.D.Manager.at considerable length in the City Council.About a mouth ago the Board of Chairmen and the Finance Committee, after mature deliberation, proposed that the following clause be introduced as an amendment to the city charter : \u201cV.The right to issue debenture stock, in virtue of Section 123 of the charter of the city, to amount of 15 per cent of the value of the real estate situated within the city limits, is restricted and limited to 124 per cent.thereof; and nothing herein cortained shall apply to the other loans which the Council is authorized to negotiate.\u201d .The adoption of this proposition was moved by the Chairman of Finance.It was, however, moved in amendment : That the right to issue debenture stock in virtue of section 128 of the Charter of the City of Montreal to the amount of 15 per cent.of the value of the real estate situated within the city limits be rescinded and limited to 15 per cent.of the assessed (taxable) valuation thereof.Nothing herein contained to interfere with the rights of present holders of debentures or debenture stock.This amendment was carried in the Council, but subsequently rescinded and defeated, The majority of the council now object to either form of limitation, and desire that the charter remain as at present.What has happened during the last month to cause such a radical change of opinion?The position has in no way altered.Have visions of more street widening arisen before their eyes?The amendment was seconded and strongly supported by Ald.Beausoleil, who is now one ot the deputation at Quebec.Mr.Robb too emphatically approved and endorsed the proposition to limit the debt to twelve and a-half per cent., and in several letters to the press urged that this be done.I think I have said enough to prove: (1) That a stringent limitation of the city's borrowing powers is ar absolute necessity ; and (2) that that limitatien should be Lased on the taxable property alone, aud that fifteen per cent.on that basis is the extren.e limit which should be allowed.I will now brietiy refer to the objections which have been made to this proposition.The most absurd objection which hus been made is that it would interfere with the security of the old bondholders.It is not the rights of bondholders, but the amount which the Council may borrow, which is being settlel.And in any case, the resolution carefully preserves all the privileges which bondholders may have whatever they may be.Next it is claimed that the limit proposed will not cover the existing debt.The Harbor and Brock Street tunnel debt amounts to $1,- 200,000, and by the terms of the statute that does not form part of the 15 per cent.allowed, and it could still remain an extra Joan as it at present is.Then as regards amounts which may require to be paid for improvements already under way, Mr.Robb answers himself, for he says that over two millions remain on hand from \u2018\u2018street investment deposits\u201d which the city will recover from proprietors.In any case there is but little difference between the amount allowed by the limitation proposed by Mr.Robb and that proposed by us.Any further small amounts could easily be covered by the usual temporary loans.In conclusion I may point out that this limitation of the borrowing power will not entirely stop improvement, but will merely compel them to bemade more gradually.The assessment may reasonably be expected to show a normal increase of eight or ten millions each year, which would allow an extra $1,200, to $1,500,000 t® be borrowed annually.\u2018And in addition to this the income from taxes should steadily advance with the growth of the city.I am far from being an enemy to progress, but blind rashness is not progress hut folly.Yours faithfully, R.WiLsox Sari, AGED 121 YEARS.A Former Slave in Virginia, Who Came With his Master to Lyons.Lyons, Dec.25.\u2014James Morris, commonly known as James Rice, a former slave, died in Lyons yesterday, 121 years of age.He was born on the Rice plantation in Virginia, near Roanoke, on June 18, 1772.After the death of his master he became the property of Balman Rice, who moved to Lyons and engaged in the manufacture of fanning mills, Balman Rice was one of the Richest men in Wayne County, Rice Street being named after him.When emancipation was proclaimed, James was set free, but he chose to stay with his master, and after his death

OREGON.Gov.Penneyer Asks Cleveland to Take Action.PorTraxD, Ore., Dec.26.\u2014Gov.Pen.neyer has addressed a letter to President Cleveland, reciting the fact that thousands of Oregon's people are out of employment and without sufficient means of support, and that business is almost completely stagnated.The Governor says the remedy lies in the President's hands, and that if he had convened Congress in extra session immediately after his inauguration to carry out the pledges of the platform to which the President gave his consent and upon which he was elected, which declared \u201cFor use of both gold and silver as standard money without discrimination againsteithermetal,\u201d the wide-spread revulsion of business would never have occurred, the Governor says: ¢ And if now you would give such advice to Congress, further downward tendency would be checked, and with favorable C'on- gressional legislation, business, would again revive and prosperity would again visit our land.Why should you

Highest Overflow Dam In the World Building In California.1 Stanislaus county, Cal., is to have tke .highest overflow dam in the world.Tt is called the La Grange dam and is being constructed for the Modesto and Terlock irrigation districts, Its location is in the canyon of the Tuolumne river, tar.amiles from the town of La Grange.Work on the project was commenced in June, 1891, and has been prosecuted continuously ever since.A force of 200 men has been employed on the work, the total cost of which will be £600,000.The annals of engineering have hitherto recorded as the highest the Vyrnwy dam, which retains the water supply fer the city of Liverpool.Its height from base to summit is 127 feet, but the La Grange will be two feet higher.Other celebrated dams, such as the Bear Valley, in San Bernardino county, and the Sweetwater, naar San Diego, are properly known as reservoirs, and the protectoin of their basins as retaining walls, The La Grange is being built by R.W.Gorrill and will be 360 feet long on top, the plan being curved on a radius of 320 feet.Its maximum height above the foundation will be 127 feet 9 inches.The front face of the wall is made to conform to the curve described by the water in overfiow- ing, and to deflect it into the basin in front of the dam.The dam is built of \u201ccyclopean rubble\u2019 and is a model of solidity.Huge rocks, weighing from six to ten tons, were first laid on the bottom.All their projecting pieces were cut off, and a flat but rough surface was prepared for the lower bed.Before being placed in the bottom, ail stones, whatever their size, were scrubbed and subjected to the action of numerous jets of water under pressure of 75 feet.The process of construction was as fol lows: \u201cA level bed was first prepared in the rock and covered with a two inch layer of cement mortar, which was beaten to fres it of air.A large stone was then lowered into position by a steam crane, and was beaten down into the mortar by blows froin heavy haudmauls.Otlier large stones were similarly placed, but # as not to touch each other.The spaces left between them were filled with concrete, which was thrust into the narrow spaces with tampers.\u201cThe work within the reach of each crane was brought up from six to eight feet before the crane was moved.In each course the immense stones were laid so as to bind with those in the course below.No horizontal joints passed through the wall, as the top of each course was left with pro jecting stones and hollows, which permit it to be well bound with the next course.To make the back face thoroughly water tight, the vertical joints were filled with mortar alone, and into this broken stone was forced.\u201d The Ia Grange dam will distribute water over a territory embracing 27\u20ac,000 acres.The Turlock district comprises about 198,000 and the Modesto district 78,000 acres.The water will flow over the dam into two ditches.One will be 80 miles long and 100 feet wide, the other 28 miles loug and 80 feet wide.The waters of the Tuolumne river will be banked up by the dam in the rocky canyon.A lake will thus be formed four miles long and half à mile wide.An idea of the solidity of the dam may be gathered from the fact that at its base it is 117 feet 9 inches thick, and that of solid stone, forming an indestructible barrier to the lake of water behind.\u2014Pacific Lumberman.Mrs, Inchbald.She was very beautiful, and gifted with original genius, as her plays and novels testify.She was rot an actress of any special merit, but of respectanle mediocrity.She stuttered knbitually, but her delivery was never impeded by this defect on the stage.Mrs.Inchbald was a person of a very remarkable character, lovely, poor, with unusual mental powers, and of urepronchable conduct.She had a singular uprightness and unworldliness and a childlike directness and simplicity of manner, which, combined with her personal loveliness, and balting, broken utterance, gave to her conversation, which was both humorous and witty, a inost peculiar and comical charm.Once, after traveling all day in a pour ing rain, the dripr&ng coachman offered her his arm to Lelp ker out, when she exclaimed, to the great amusement of her fellow travelers: \u2018\u2018Oh, no, no! Y-y-y-you will give me my death of cold! Do bring me a-a-a-a dry man.\u2019 Coming off the stage one evening, she was about to sit down by Mrs.Siddons in the greenroom, when suddenly, looking at her magnificent neighbor, she said: \u2018\u2018No, I won\u2019t 8-s-s-sit by you.You're t-t-t-too handsome!\u2019 in which respect she certainly need have feared no competition, and less with my aunt than any one, their style of beauty being so absolutely dissimilar.\u2014\u2018\u2018Records of a Girlhood,\u201d Fanny Kemble.Not a Lost Art.Archæologists and antiquarians in their writings frequently refer to the manufacture of flint arrowheads, ete., ns a lost art.That is a great mistake.The art is probably lost to the Indians because they have no use for it.The stone implements have given place to those of iron and steel, and the rifle and revolver have supplanted the flint ax and arrowhead.The art of making them is not lost, however.There are many collectors of relics of the aborigines who have studied the art of working in flint and have become adepts.In Chattanooga a& gentleman has become 50 proficient in the art that he has not only manufactured magnificent specimens of arrowheads from flint, but also from the far more brittle obsidian, and even from ordinary glass.-Chattanooga Correspondence.Sale of paintings at easy terms by the Society of Arts of Canada.Ltd.Next distribution between its men bers and scrip holders on 27th December next.peer gravesites IE ran (OLD \u2014.b te va Alix GOUFON.CUT OUT THIS COUPON and bring or send it with Number One of this magnificent Series will be duly mailed to Please write both name and address very plainly as by so doing mistakes and delays will be avoided.STREET.[ POST OFFICE.PROVINCE.The Montreal Herald Co, sracesestannes feasts : ; $ Ten Cents in Silver or S amps to cover cost of tubing, postage, etc., to THE HERALD Office, 803 Craig Street, and Portfolie $ your address, which must be written on the blank spaces below.$ >< 603 Craig St, ONLY ONE COUPON REQUIRED, ARIEL LLBILIIAY Babies ougint to be fat.Give the Thin Babies a chance.Give them Scott\u2019s ulsion RH Gr sprees the Cream of Cod-liver Oil, with hypophosphites, and watch them grow Fat, Chubby, Healthy, Bright.Physicians, the world over, endorse it, _ Don't be deselved by Substitutes!

contract, 38 cars; corn, 1346 cars; contract, 247 cars; oats, 539 cars; contract, 245 cars.Hogs, 20,000.Fo-morrow\u2019s estimated receipts are : wheat 230 cars; corn, 1020 cars; oats, 320 gars; hogs, 28,000.The official visible supply issued to-day, gives wheat a decrease of 104,000 bushels, a decrease in corn of 199,000 bushels and an increase in oats of 387,000 bushels.The following table gives the movements of grain and flour at given points : Receipts.Shipments.Chicago\u2014wheat .163290 \u201c corn.837164 ve oats.483500 * our.28449 Milwaukee\u2014wheat.59800 \u201c corn .18850 Toledo\u2014wheat.50197 corn.51610 St.Louis\u2014wheat.72 New York\u2014wheat.31775 COPD.2.c00s0000 223200 US.220000 16065 The receipts of grain and flour in Montreal to-day are given as follows.G.T.R.C.P.R, Canal, Total.Wheat, bush.3600 eee .3600 Corn, bush.ee.cea Cee Peas, bush.a0 1890 2490 Oats, bush.21600.21600 Barley, bush.- MO eee 9700 Rye, bush.ea.\u2026 vee Flour, bbls.2600 7400 10000 GRAIN.\u2014The market on the whole is pretty quiet, and there is not much demand.Prices, however, have rather a firm tendency.There is a demand for oats for export in the west, 15,000 bushels selling Saturday at 30c, Ontario points.The enquiry tor peas is light, and the movement is small.Barley is also in poor demand.No.I;hard Manitoba wheat.73¢c co Tic No.2 hard Manitoba.Tle to 72e Corn, duty paid.\u201860e to 61c Peas, ver 66ibs.68e to 68ic do do afloat.006 to Cue Oats, per 34 lbs, store .00e to We Qats, new.256 to 36e Rye, No, 2.020.000 .die to 82 Barley, feed.,.\u2026 $2¢ to 43c Barley, malting.500 to 33e FrLour.\u2014There is the same old story to note in regard to flour.There is no demand worth mention, and pricesareunsatisfactory.Western markets are in the same condition.Winter patents.ceieeee 3.50 to 3.60 Straight rollers.815 to 3.20 Extra.2.75 to 2.80 Superfine .60 to 2.70 line.0.00 to 2.25 Strong ba .40 to 3.50 Strongbakers,\u2019 Man bes 30 to 3.60 ds.3.MEaL.\u2014 Although there is no change to report there is a fair demand, and prices hold firm, Supplies are comparatively light, thongh there is no scarcity.Millers continue firm in their views, and continue to ask firm figures.Granulated and rolled.per brl Granulated and rolled, per ba, Standard, perbrl .3.90 to 4.60 Standard, perb g.1.90 to 2.00 Frrp.\u2014Bran and shorts continue to meet with a liberal enquiry, and prices hold steady.Toronto city mills have, it is said, advanced their prices 50e, and the situation at other Ontario points is equally strong.Mouille is as dull as ever.$4.25 to $4.35 210to 2.20 Bran.cocviioiiiiaiiianiiiinadd $16.00 to 800.00 [C1170] 7 SA \u2026 17.00to 18.00 Mouille.\u2026.\u2026.ssucasiuss 26.00 Lo 24.00 Toronto Markets.TORONTO, December 26.-\u2014Market quiet.Quotations : Flour, Straight roller, #2.75 to $2.80;

SALT ON THE STREETS.HORSE OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THE M.S.R.CO.S ACTION.Animais are Being Laid up and Runners Torn off Sleighs\u2014The Company Uses a \u2018'Little\u201d Salt.HE sprinkling of salt Street Railway is the vause of much dissatisfaction amongst livery stable men, carters and owners of horses generally.Horsemen allege that the action of salt on the hoof of a horse is decidedly detrimental, as it produces a soft, spongy condition of the hoof, which makes it liable to contract (disease.The continual, or even the occasional splashing of the liquid salt on the horse's fetlocas is calenlated to predispose the animal to \u201c\u2018scratches,\u201d and the sponyy soft condition of the hoof makes it so tender that in siepping on a piece of ice or any hard substauce corns may be contracted.Several owners of valuable stock do not take their Lorses out as often as they would if this grievance did not exist.The great- \u2018est suffering is caused to work horses or those attached to cabs.J.T.Morey said yesterday that over a dozen of his horses were aflected already by the action of the salt on their hoofs, He also stated that several runners had been torn off his sleighs by coming in contact with the clean rail.B.P.Coneff & Co, corroborate this statement, and are of the opinion that placing salt on the tracks, if continued, will not only cause considerable suffering to stock, but will result in great loss to owners.Several runners have also been torn off their sleighs.Veterinarians do not appear to attach much importance to the matter.Both Drs.Chas.McEachran and Bruneaus said yesterday that they did not think the salt would do any harm.Dr.MeEachran added, however, that if wet and.slushy weather prevailed, the effect would perhaps be dan- gérous.Co T.D.Buzzell, of the Palace Livery Stables, said the Street Railway Company should be compelled to stop salting the tracks.He continued, that it had a tendency to rot the hoofs of horses.\u201cIt would not be so bad,\u201d said Mr.Buzzell, \u201cif this were allowed to remain on the tracks, but it is spread about by traffic, and the sweepers distribute it all over the roadway every time they pass.The result is that the roadways along the street car lines will soon be thoroughly saturated with salt, and the damage to horse-flesh, besides the suffering caused will be considerable.A stop should be put to this at once.\u201d George Kennedy, a former horse shoer, and one of the former proprietors of Blue Bonnet\u2019s Race Track, said that the effect of salt on a horse's hoof was decidedly in- juriows.It not only affected the hoof, but caused a horse intense pain by making the legs raw.If continued throughout the winter much suffering would be caused, especially :s work horses.he Street Railway Company acknowl edges that salt mixed with sand is being placed on the tracks, but in such small quantities as not to cause any suffering or amage to horses.The Canadian Pacific.The return of traffic earnings from Dec.14th to Dec.21st, 1893 : Smith and Doran are Out.The first gun in the municipal war in St.Lawrence Ward was fired yesterday afternoon, when a citizens\u2019 committee announced to a meeting held in the Mechanics Institute that W.E.Doran and R.Wilson Smith had definitely decided to become candidates for aldermanic

if his services are asked for.These candidates will all be supported by the Volunteer Electoral League.Shipping Notes.YoroHAMA, Dec.26.\u2014Canadian Pacific Railway Company's steamship Empress of -

middle of the floor.When he saw his father he exclaimed in an almost inarticulate voice, \u2018l\u2019m choking ! l'm choking !\u201d at the same time pointing to the telephone.His father had only time to seize George in his arms, when the poor fellow fell forward dead.The grief- stricken parents laid the body on the bed and called for assistance, hut too late.Few young men ave better known in

large, and he was very highly respected wherever known, Mr.Baillie was an old Moatreal boy.He was born here on January 19, 1860, and has always lived in this city.After leaving school, Mr.Baillie went

health up to Friday last, on which day he complained of a slight cold.His condition became so much worse that Dr.Stroud was called in and on Sunday night he, with Dr.Roddick in consultation, announced that the patient had pneumonia, George Cruikshank was born in the village of Rothes, Morayshire, and was originally intended to practice law, for which he studied in the town of Elgin, Scotland.Love of travel, however, led him to relinquish this study and pay a visit to Montreal in 1842.At that time he made no long stay here, but accepted an appointment as overseer in a sugar plantation at Demarara, where he remained for two years.A brief period followed of life in Upper Canada, at Streetsville, and also Three Rivers, engaged in the flour trade.He began his long business and philanthropic career in Montreal as book-keeper with The Herald, then followed a short resumption of his law studies under Mir.Dunlop, father of Mr.Dunlop, architect.It was as a produce merchant, however, that lie was best known and most successful, having by zeal and economy amassed enough to retire in moderate comfort about twenty-five years ago.Mr.Cruikshank\u2019s class of business is now almost a thing of the past.The deceased took a leading part in the affairs of St.Gabriel Church when it was re-organized in 1866 and attached to the Church of Scotland.He was the first of the elders and also a trustee in the re-organized church, and continued in these oflices until 1872, when he had moved too far away to attend, and joined Chalmers Church.In the House of Refuge he ever took an active interest and loving care, and was one of the best friends the poor have ever known.He assisted to wind up a well known building society, ond hy his good judgment and business tact he turned worthless script into valuable securities, and everyone got paid in full.He was President of the Mechanics\u2019 Institute for several vears, and an active worker in its interests almost from its inception.He was also an old meniber of the Bible Society.He leaves a niece, who is the wife of John Millen, hardware merchant.His wife died two years ago.The deccased has lived for some years at 126 St.Famille street, boarding with the daughter of his old friend, the late Chief of the Fire Brigade, Bertram.He was for some years connected with the Protestant House of Industry and Refuge, and prominent as one of Montreal\u2019s philanthropists.The funeral takes place to-morrow.Thirteen beautifully situated lots on Argyle Avenue, (Cote St.Antoine.at a bargain.For sale by Aifred Beun, GO

counties of Egypt (Southern Illinois) a pioneer family, futher, mother, and five children.The parents were frugal and industrious; they were laying the sure foundations for a future competence and an honorable reputation, when fell malaria, the skeleton of that district, attacked the father and killed him.The martial spirit of the coming struggle was abroad, and soon the eldest son of the widow enlisted for the war.He marched away beneath the starry banner, only to fall during the first skirmish with the enemy.Thus was the brave woman of whom this story speaks, twice bereaved, having lost husband and son both within a short period, left at an early age (33) to rear and educate her family of little ones (a baby had come only a mouth after the death of her husband.) The woman was strong of heart and her determination was taken without hesitation, that her home must be maintained.The people there about were kind, and *\u2018Aunt Marthy\u201d as every one called her was encouraged in her heroic endeavor.She knew that she must work, so she started a weaving industry.She made the neighborhood Jeans and Linsey-Woolsey, and wove: the carpets, etc, at so much per yard, and in this fashion maintained her home and reared her family in respectability.It was a prodigions effort for her though, this working the treadle and driving the shuttle ail day long, as she had been, from infancy, subject to a disease of joints and muscles, which rendered her helpless at times, and with advancing vears caused her the keenest suffering.But her strong will and well balanced mind enabled her to pull through, and to see her children grown, free from the taint of charity of the poor house.Then she turned her thoughts to herself, put doctors aside, and she was successful in concocting a sure remedy for rheumatism.\u201cAunt Marthy\u2019s Cure\u201d for rheumatism cured its inventor, and it will cure you, Twenty- five cents per bottle.Ask your druggist for

cleaning of the street car tracks.Ald.Prefontaine announced that the Finance Committee had voted the Road Department $10,000 for snow shovelling purposes up to the end of the year, and it was decided to let Mr.St.George go on with the work without any further instructions being necessary.Ald.Griffin expressed himself strongly on the manner in which, he atates, merchants and others on St.Lawrence Main Street suffer on account of the working of the street-car company\u2019s snow-plough.It was also announced that, owing to difficulties with the municipal authorities of St.Louis du Mile End, the

officiated and distributed the presents.The tree was placed in the children\u2019s ward and from each white cot there peered an eager little face, some pitifully thin and drawn with pain, and others fuller and rosy, but all expressive of great interest in the \u201ctree\u201d and what it contained, and the Santa Claus who was to come.They were not disappointed in the occasion either, for there was something for all.Friends, of whom a large number were present, had not forgotten their dear ones lying ill, and many pretty articles mostly toys, were distributed to those they would most please.The hospital had furnished fruit, candies, and decorations, and these were also unstintingly distributed.Five or six of the nurses sang several Christmas carols very sweetly.and received much applause.Dr.D.Cameron, who, in the regulation \u2018\u2018Santa\u201d garb, distributed presents, made a short and bright speech which amused the children much.The great value of Hood's Sarsaparilla
