TORONTO, HE PROPOSES A GREAT HARMONY CONVEXTION IN DUBLIN, Hon.Fdward Blake Replies That He is in Full Sympathy With His Grace's Propositions, Toronto, Oct.16.\u2014Hon.Edward Blake left Toronto last \u2018Wednesday for San Francisco en route for Australla.Prior to his departure in an interchange of letters between him and the Archbishop of Toronto, Dr.Walsh, a scheme was formulated for the holding of a great convention to restore unity in the Irish party.The correspondence will be made public to-morrow by the Catholic Register.The Archbishop warmly thanks Mr.Blake for his services to Ireland and then continues: \u201cI think, too, Sir, that we in this country have a right and a duty to raise our voice in protest against the destructive dissensions that rend the ranks of the Irish Parliamentary representatives, that do so much to discredit their cause and ruin their effectiveness.Canada has contributed generously towards the Home Rule Parliamentary fund.Not much more than & year ago we here in Toronto, in the midst of great financial depression, subscribed the handsome sum of something more than §7,- 000.In other cities and districts of the Dominion sums proportionately as large were freely given for the purpose.In view of these large monetary contrlbu- tions, in view of the material and moral aid which by words and acts and even by resolutions unanimously passed in the Dominion Parliament, we have given to you towards the Irish cause, we Canadians have a right to deplore and deprecate the fatal dissensions that have weakened and paralyized the Irish Parliamentary representation, and that have thwarted and baffled the Home Rule cause.This is not the place to discuss the cause of these dissensions; it must suifice here to raise our voice in protest against them, and to declare that those responsible for them have brought shame and dishonor on their country and are gullty of high treason against the Irish race, at home and abroad.\u201cFor those fatal dissensions, it is our solemn conviction that neither you nor those with whom you are working are in eny wise responsible.You have but been their victims.In order to try to Keep peace and harmony in your ranko you have borne quietly with misrepresentations and calumnies until patience ceased to be a virtue, and your silence was construed by some into admission of guilt.Will Irishmen never give heed to the warning of our national poet, whieh.is also the teaching of our sad history * Brin, thy silent tears never shall cease; Erin, thy languid smile ne'er shall increase, Till, like the rainbow light, Thy various tints unite, And form in heaven's sight One arch of peace.\u201cHow is this necessary union to be effected ?How are the Irish national forces to be focussed into a great centre of strength and power ?It seems to me that to the solution of this problem Irish patriotism and Irish statesmanship should now devote themselves.Surely Ireland must still have the power and vitality to shake off from her the fatal dissensions that have of late preyed upon her end threatened the extinction of her national life.Surely she must not allow herself, like a derelict ship at sea, to drift about aimlessly and hopelessly a prey to the waves and storms of angry passions and internecine feuds.\u201cThis is not a time for despondency or despair; it is rather a time for courageous resolve and earnest action.The home rule cause has cost the Irish race too many sacrifices, it has been pushed too far towards realization to be now aban- dened because of the difficulties that beset it.These difficulties are for the most part the direct fault of personal Jealousies, animosities and ambitions indulged in by certain of the Irish representatives, and doubtless they can be pushed out où the way by the united and determined action of the Irish people.\u201cAs an Irishman interested in the destinies of my native land, I tryst I may, without presumption, venture to make a suggestion, which, if acted on, would, in my opinion, be instrumental in securing that unity of counsel and of action amongst the nationalists of Ireland so necessary for the success of the cause they have at heart.My suggestion is this: \u2018Let a great national convention be held in Dublin, composed of chosen representatives of the clergy and people of Ireland, and of an advisory representative of the Irish race abroad.In that convention let Ireland speak out her mind, let not her voice be like g broken musical instrument, emitting discordant notes and jarring sounds, but let it on the contrary be clear, loud and em- Pphatie, insisting on unity and condemning faction.Let her point out and uphold the Parliamentary representatives whose methods and conduct she approves, and let her mark out and condemn those whose infolerance of control, personal Jealousies and animosities have done so much to break the unity and waste the strength of the national party.\u201cFeuds have in the past been the ruin and curse of Ireland.Let her stamp them out and cast them from her as things more odious than the serpents St.Patrick banished from her shores.In that convention let the voice of Ireland's sons abroad be heard and their advice considered.They live under free institutions and are accustomed to the workings of deliberative assemblies and representative governments, and hence the advice and experience of their chosen elegates, In the present condition of Irish affairs, would value and importance of the utmost Surely representative Irishmen in convention assembled, free from u- dices and passions, having at healt noi the triumph of party or faction but the welfare and hogor of thelr race and the triumph of their country\u2019s cause, will be able to concert and adopt such Teas ures as will enforce proper discipline and due subordination in the ranks of the hatlon's representatives, and in this way will be able to secure amongst them that potty of purpose and action so abrolute- y vital to thelr success.A great national convention, such as I venture to Suggest, speaking with the authority of the nation and voicing its fixed and un- elterable purpose to labor for and to win the right of self-government, would give new hope and heart and energy to Irishmen at home and abroad and it would be able to restore unity amongst the ranks of the Irish nationalist representatives to make of them once more a compact body and an irresistible power to the Imperial Parliament.When Ireland speaks to England through such a body hor just demands cannot be long refused er.\u201cWishing you a safe and prosperous voyage to the sunny lands of the Southern Cross, and with sentiments of sincere esteem, wo tBelleve me to be, - \u201cMy dear Mr.Blake, ., \u2018 #Yours very faithfully, ve \u201cJOHN WALSH, Wye « Archbishop of Toronto.\u201d Me.Blake in his letter to the Archbishop says: \u201cLet me thank you still more earnestly for your language about the cause.Every hour's experience gained since I joined the Parliamentary party has deepened in conviction that the solution of the Irish question in our time depends upon the observance\u2014in letter and in spirit\u2014of the fundamental grinci- ples on which the Parliamentary party was organized\u2014complete independence of every political party without and through unity, discipline and subordination within its ranks.When the election was precipitated, we who were responsible felt it to be our prime duty to see that the forces of Ireland were sent back to Parliament in undiminished, or it possible, increased strength.In this (under circumstances of greatest difficulty, to some of which you allude) we succeeded.There is much for those forces to accomplish.A party is in power which denies the right and the capacity of Irishmen to direct their own affairs, and the safety to the Empire of Home Rule for Ireland, and which declares for the policy of perpetual legislation and administration of purely Irish aïfairs from Westminster.It seems to me our duty not only to maintain and strengthen \u2018the pesition of Irish Home Rule, but also to insist that those in power shall attempt to discharge the responsibilities such a policy involves.Those responsibilities are enormous.The Irish land question, with its numerous ramifications, retains, even by the acknowledgment of the adversary, the foremost place in the legislative programme.13ut Irish rural government, trish municipal franchises, Irish educa- tian, Irish fiscal and financial relations and other important questions should also be pressed to the front.And there is thus open to the Irish party, even in this overwhelmingly Tory and anti- Home Rule Parliament, an active, useful and honorable career.\u201cWe may in the next five years do much good for Ireland, and we may, in the doing of it, and while we are doing it, materially advance the pros-ects of that Home Rule which must ever re main our first and main object.But to do any good at all, either in these or in other matters, or for the great cause of Home Rule itself, it is more than ever necessary that we should act together.We are too few to quarrel.Every sign of dissension is an encouragement to the adversary, a discouragement to our friends, and disunion means death.I see no public reason for such disunion.Could we but set aside personal feelings, animosities and interests, make the best of each other, and aim at cordial cooperation, instead of seeking causes of discord and offence, I am convinced we should without difficulty find common ground on public policy.In truth, during these last three trylng years, there have been on questions of public policy but slight and relatively insignificant divergencies of views.And there is less reason now than before to apprehend the difficuity on this score.If, then, we do not work together, it will be for personal and not for public reasons.\u201cYour Grace will allowm' © to add that I believe Fou express the opinion not only of the great bulk of the Irish in Ireland, but also of the Irish in Britain and beyond seas when you insist upon the necessity of unity.I rejoice to observe that Mr.Justin McCarthy has appealed to the Irish people for an authentic expression of their opinion.You will not expect from me, so far removed from the scene, and, as I have lately reminded you, so much a stranger to local con- ctions in the country which I am trying to serve, any absolute expression of view as to the mode in which that opinion can best be formulated.But I am free to confess that, subject to the judgment of Mr.McCarthy and others on the spot, I incline to the view suggested by Your Grace, that the case is one for a national convention, and I should greatly rejoice if it were found possible to invite\u2014even without any formal vote \u2014representatives of \u2018those Irish abroad who have during the existence of the constitutional movement so strikipgly proved their po litical sagacity, and thelr determination to give their moral and material support to a policy which, in my deepest conviction, offers at once justice to Ireland and peace, harmony and strength to the United Kingdom.\u201cI am sure that Your Grace's weighty expression will be received with the deepest Interest, and will exercise its just influence on the judgment of the Irish people, upon whom in the last resort now depend the fortunes of fhe movement.{ \u201cI am, my dear Archbishop Walsh, with renewed thanks, \u201cYours, faithfully, \u201cEDWARD BLAKE.\u201d A Missionary Monk.The Rev.Father John Forbes, a Mont- realer, and the only Canadian belonging to the Order of White Fathers, founded by the late Cardinal Lavigerie, the Friend of the Slave, is in this city, the guest of the Sulpiclans.Father Forbes left Montreal ten years ago for Algeria, where he took the habit.He was afterwards stationed at Jerusalem at the Oriental College.The White Fathers evangelize & territory ag vast in extent as the whole of Europe.The climate of Algeria and Palestine has broken down Father Forbes\u2019 health, and he has been allowed leave of absence.| Suing for Damages for a Fall.An action for damages to the amount of $500 was taken to-day by Mr.Gelinas, carpenter, through Lighthall & Mac- Donald, against Cote & Benard, contractors, on account of injuries received by Gelinas through a fall on July 13, while working on the roof of the Convent of St.Louis de France, Laval Avenue.It would appear that while Mr.Gelinas was engaged on a certain scaffolding on the fifth flat of the bullding, which was not properly secured, it gave way, and the plaintiff was seriously injured through the fall.i New Montreal Parish, Rev.Jacques Albert Napoleon Morin, for the last twelve years curate of St.Jean Baptiste parish, has been appointed pastor of & new parish, which will extend from St.Lawrence Street to Bre- boeuf, and from the railway track, Mile End, to Sault au Recollet.Father Morin is thirty-five years of age, and has constantly been employed in parish work since his ordination.It is said that St.Edward will be the patron saint of the church to be erected for the Catholics of this new ecclesiastical division.Silver Wedding.Mr.and Mrs.T.H.Cripps, of West- mount, celebrated their silver wedding on Sunday last, the 13th inst.A large circle of friends were entertained on Monday evening and a very happy time spent.Mr.and Mrs.Cripps were heartily congratulated by all their friends.DON'T WANT GURRAN, ENGLISH -SPEAKING PROTESTANTS PETITION THE GOVERNMENT To Appoint a Protestant Judge\u2014Bishop Bond Heads the List.The rumor that the Han.J.J.Curran waa to be appointed to the vacancy on the Superior Court Bench has raised the ire of the Protestant members of the bar ani of a large portion of the other section.It was the sole topic of conversation in legal circles all day.In regard to the judgeship petitions are being circulated protesting against the appointment of Mr.Curran to the bench, of which the fol lowing voices the feelings of the petitioners: To the Honorable Sir Mackenzie Bowell, K.C.M.G., Prime Minister of Canada, and to the Honorable Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, K.C.M.G., Min~ ister of Justice of Canada.\u2018The petition of the undersigned Eng- lish-speaking Protestant inhabitants of the City of Montreal and neighborhood respectfully represents: Tht your petitioners have reason to apprehend that efforts are belng made to induce the Government to fill the vacancy created on the Bench of the Superior Court by reason of the death of the late Chief Justice Johnson, with an appointee other than the one chosen amongst the Eng- lish-speaking Protestants of the bar.four petitioners view with apprehension the tendency that has been manifested In public appointments to ignore the rights of the English-speaking Protestant minority of the Province of Quebec, as they have ¥en enjoyed since the province became a British province.Your petitioners respectfully represent that the practice in the past has been to fill vacancies on the bench with appointees of the same race and reli~ gious creed as those of the previous incumbent, but that recently this practice has come to be in some danger of being departed from.Your petitioners respectfully call attention to the fact that the interests commercially and otherwise of the English-speaking Protestant minority are much greater than would appear from the numerical proportion between the two classes of the population.The efforts of which your petitionerg complain appear to be made to reduce all the public appointments to a basis of relative population, which principle is invoked in everything else except in the levying of taxes, in regard to which the class to which your petitioners belong contribute out of all proportion to their numerical strength, the records of the city of Montreal showing that considerably more than one-half of the assessments levied in the city are collected from Protestants, notwithstanding that the Protestant population in the city limits does not exceed one-quarter.Your petitioners would further recall the well-known fact that the largest commercial interests of the province are in the hands of the English-speaking Protestant minority.Your petitioners, in taking this attitude with respect to the majority, are impelled thereto by circumstances which are beyond their control.By the constitution, to which your petitioners are bound loyally to submit, the greater number of public appointments are placed under the authority of those who difier from them in religion and in language.Your petitioners are therefore forced to demand euch respect being paid to their rights and privileges as has been considered fair and just in the past.Your petitioners, therefore, deprecate any changes in the proportion of public appointments being made to their pre- Judice.In conclusion, your petitioners would respectfully submit that there is urgency for the early filling of the vacancy on the bench above referred to, which has existed for over a year to the great inconvenience of the public.And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.Montreai, October, 1895.Among the signatures on the petition are the following : .Lord Bishop of Montreal, Dean Carmichael, John

Evans A TRIUMPHAL TOUR.HON.MR.LAURIER\u2019S ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION AT DELTA, ONT.SIR C.H.TCPPER AND HIS GUILELESS TELEGRAM TO THE LIB« ERAL LEADER, Plenty of Prisoners Who Have as Much Right to Freedom as had Measrs.McGreevy and Counelly, Brockville, Oct.16.\u2014Hon.Mr.Laurler and party arrived here from Smith\u2019s Falls last night and this morning, accompanied by John McMillan, M.P.for South Huron; Geo.W.Dawson, M.P.for Addington; Thos.Bain, M.P.for North Wentworth; James Cumming, Liberal candidate for Brockville; W.H.Fredenburg, candidate for South Leeds; Alex.Smith, secretary of the Ontario Liberal Association, and a number of leading local Liberals left for Delta by special train on the Brockville and Westport Railway.At Lyn, the first stopping place on the way out, and the home of Mr.Cumming, Mr.Laurier Was accorded an enthusiastic reception.The station was decorated with flags and evergreens and cannons boomed as the train drew up.Here Mr.Laurier was presented with an address read by Henry McDonald, the oldest Liberal in the village.Mr.Laurier replied in a ten minutes\u2019 address delivered in his usual happy manner.Just before leaving he was presented with handsome bouquets by little Misses Lily Brown and Josephine Taylor.At Athens, where a large crowd was in waiting, Mr.Laurier was called on for an address, and spoke for about fif~ teen minutes.On arriving at Delta.there was an immense crowd at the station, who gave a most enthusiastic reception to Mr.Laurier and his friends.As he stepped off the train Mr.Laurier was presented with a handsome bouquet by Miss Cora Denaut, which he gracefully acknowledged and kissed the fair donor.A procession was then formed and to the music of the Athens and Lansdowne brgss bands proceeded down town.The visitors were entertained at a sembprivate dinner at Brown's Hotel.Dinner over the procession reformed and marched to the Agricultural Hal.The building was seated for 1,200 people, but this was not sufficient to accommodate the large number who sought aamyssion.Every inch of standing room was taken possession of and many who could not get in at all had to be coment with standing around the doors.The hall was beautifully decorated with flags, portraits of Mr.Laurier and Mr.Fredenburg.The streets of the town were also literally decorated with flags and bunting.O.D.Cowan, Mayor of Gananoque, who is president of South Leeds Association, was unable to be present owing to illness and W.J.Webster, of Westport, vice- president, presided.He made a brief address, after which short speeches were made by Mr.Fredenburg, Geo.P.Graham, editor of the 4wockville Recorder, and James McMullen, M.P.Then followed an address presented to Mr.Laurler from the South Leeds Liberal Association, which was read by W.P.Daily, of Rockport.At this junction Mr.Laurier was presented with an elegant bouquet by a little boy named Robert Stephens.Mr.Laurier then replied to the adddress in a speech which lasted over an hour.He was a splendid order and spoke with much force and power.His remarks were largely on the lines taken in his previous speeches at Brock- ville and elsewhere.lt was, however, Elven special point by the reading of the following telegram received by Mr.Laurier after his arrival in Delta, from Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, Minister of Justice: i \u201cOttawa, Ont, Oct.16.\u2018To Hon.Wilfrid Laurier, Delta, Ont.: \u201c You are reported in the Mail and Empire, 16th inst., to have stated at Merrichville as follows: \u2018There were convicts in the jails of Montreal and Toronto, he said, speaking of the liberation of Messrs.McGreevy and Connolly, who had just as good a reason to regain their freedom.The Government would not interfere in the interests of the former, however, because they had not sinned on behalf of the Conservative Administration.\u201d I mneed not remind you, as a counsel of long standing and Privy Councillor as well, that this statement directly concerns the office of Minister of Justice.I beg of you, therefore, in justice to my department, to favor me promptly with names of prisoners to whom you refer.Not a single case of the kind has been reported to me or brought under my notice.\u201c(Pigned) \u201cCHAS.HIBBERT TUPPER.\u201d\" To the above Mr.Laurier wired a reply as follows: \u201cDelta, Ont., Oct.16.\u201cSir Charles, Hibbert Tupper, \u201c Minister of Justice, Ottawa, Ont.\u201cIf no case has been reported to you I advise you as a philanthropist to enquire into the matter and you will find that the health of all prisoners is affcet- ed by continement, and that they are all entitled to same tender mercies extended by the Government to Messrs.McGreevy and Connolly.\u201c(Signed) WILFRID LAURIER.\u201d Mr.Laurier sald his remarks had evidently not suited Sir Charles, who, on this occasion, had not displayed his usual acumen.* It he wants the names,\u201d said Mr.Laurier, \u201cI say to him they are legion.\u201d .Mr.Laurier was cheered to the echo on resuming his seat.Mr.Bain, M.P., followed in an excellent speech.The meeting then closed with cheers for the Queen, Mr.Laurier, Mr.Fredenburg and the other speakers.Mr.Laurier was then escorted to the station, when he was given a splendid send off.At Lyn the mixed train on the G.T.R.was held until the arrival of the train bearing Mr.Laurier, and on it he proceeded to Gananoque, where he will stay until to-morrow morning.Messrs MpeMillan and Dawson, M.P\u2019s went north to Westport, where they speak tonight.Mr.Bain, M.P., came into Brock- ville, and this evening is addressing the members of the Young Liberal Club in their rooms.51.0.F.Rally.A large number of city lodges of I.0.F4 are making extensive arrangements for a grand rally, to

are clearly entitled.One of the biggeat sales of timber limits that has ever taken place in the Ottawa Valley was closed this \u2018afternoon.The old limits, owned by the late David Moore and now by the Moore Lumber Company, comprising Edward Moore, Charles Moore, Harry Moore, Wm.Moore and Mrs.Edward Skead, were sold to Mesars.Buell, Orr, Hurdman & Company.The limits, situated on the Kip- pawa, are the fines; in Canada.The price obtained is $400,000.Messrs.Buell, Orr, Hurdman & Company intend working the limits.It is understood that the Moore Bros.will go out of the lumbering business.The price, although large, is said to be none too big, so valuable are the limits.Ottawa, Oct.16.\u2014According to the official report of Assessment Commissioner Pratt to-day, Ottawa has alot to crow over, being now the fourth city of the Dominion.The assessment has gone up almost a million and a half, and the anticipated increase of population putting us ahead of Hamilton is more than verified.Ottawa\u2019s population is now 49,674.Last year it was 47,774, an increase in the year of 1,899.The assessment this year is $31,230,270.Last year it was $10,799,085.Of the increase of ussess- ment about $400,000 comes from new buildings and the balance is made up in increased value of lands in the tusi- ness portion of the city, particularly on Bank Street, which is rapidly becoming a business thoroughtare right out to Ann Street.The case of the Canada Atlantic Rall- way vs.Hurdman was before the Supreme Court this afternoon.This is a case in which $10,000 damages were

resembled a threshing mill or the locusts of Egypt, in the manner they devoured.It was the cry night and day, \u2018Eat, eat, eat,\u2019 or the same words in French, \u2018manger, manger,

before he got near the end of his journey to James Bay the Indians pretended to be deeply concerned in case the provisions should run out.Although they never spoke to Dr.Bell personally about this

Firm of Leonidas, Villeneuve & \u20aco., Which Sold the City Wood.A petition to unseat the Mayor was presented to Judge Gill in Chambers yesterday morning.Mr.Elie Rochon, bailiff, made the petition and he asked for a writ of quo warranto to compel the Mayor to show cause why he should not be deprived of his seat in the Council.Mr.Rochon alleges that Mayor Villeneuve is a member of the firm of Leonidas, Villeneuve & Co., which has entered into contracts with the city to furnish lumber, at different periods, and for large amounts.This, he maintains, is suf- ficlent to render the Mayor ineligible for office.Judge Gill, before ordering the issue of a writ, declared that the petition would have to be served on His Worship.The matter will be heard on Friday.Bloomers in a Cafe.Brussels,

accepted an ultimatam will be presented.No \u2018further modification will be permitted.The scheme drops the demand for a Christian High Commissioner, but otherwise, it is almost identionl with the proposals of last May.It is believed, however, that Russia hesitates to force am acceptance, because she febrs oltimate Armenian autoromy.News received from Tre bizond is to the effect that the Russia

ITAWÆ, Ont, Oct.16.\u2014 The manager of the College Football Club said to day that in sending the telegram to the Montrealers re the proposed match on Saturday they did not intend to slignt the Quebec Union executive.They - © were willing to kbide by fts decision at the meeting on Friday night, but they had hoped to come to an agreemerit with the Mont- realers In the meantime, in the event of which the executive of the union would be asked to ratify it at the meeting on Friday.0 ny ! The \u201cBrits\u201d are going to have a strong team in the field against the Ottawas on Saturday.Both the scrimmage and back divisions will be much stronger than they were in the match with McGill, and as the team is practicing well they confidently expect to make a creditable showing against the big Ottawa com- hination.An excursion is being run from the Capital, and lots of the \u2018\u201crooters\u2019 are expected down.As on last Saturday, it is the intention of the committee to reserve part, of the grand stand, and there is already a good demand for beats.All that is wanted is favorable weather.; been .\u201c \u2018Montreal II.play McGill II.on the college camups Saturday, and, although the lormer club are ahead in the number of points scored, the McGill boys are going to make a big effort to even matters.Both teams are practicing hard end will have their best men in the field.1 \u2014\u2014 ! The McGill Juniors go to Quebec on Saturday to wrestle with the heavy team of that city.They will have to work hard to win.This is what an Ottawa paper thinks of the request of the College Club: \u201cTake the case of the Ottawas, for instance.If the Ottawas should win every game that still remains to play, and the Montreal- ers to do lixewise, the former would find themselves behind the latter in the race, although they won from a team which Montreal was unable to beat.The sane reasoning could be applied to other teams, and the rank injustice that might be done at once becomes apparent.Ottawa College have set themselves before the public, they have showed that they are courageous enough to try for & decision.They were anxious to continue on Saturday last when full playing time was up, and since this was made impossible by the senseless and gilly ruling of the referee they now approach their opponents with an offer which, if not accepted one way or the other, will show

Oct.16.\u2014Governor Clarke\u2019s determination to stop the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons fight at any cost was emphasized yesterday by the presence in this city of General Taylor, of Forest City, Brigadier-General of the Arlarsas State Guards, who was summoned to the capital by telegra»ii to confer with the Governor in regard to the strength of the militia.Gen.Taylor was in conference with Governor Clark for an hour, and when seen later by a reporter was preparing to take the afternoon train for Hot Springs.Gen.Meylor said positively that the fight would pot occur.His rucpose in going to Hob Springs, he said, was to warn the people there against the danger to which they would subject themselves should any attempt be made to bring the contest off.The State Guard, Gen.Tailor said, was in good cendirion and amply suilicieny to cope with the case in hand.He could, hel said, within a few hours\u2019 notice land 850 well- drilled and fully equipped men in Hot Springs.Information came from a private source fbo-day that the Florida Athletic Club is considering a plan by which they hope to overcome tha obstacles placed before them by Gow.Clark.The scheme is to turn the whole affair over to the Hot Springs Athletic Association.Tkat association was Encorrorated by the State of Arkansas, on Sept.6, 18.5.Unier this charter the people interested bolieve they can conduct w boxing match limited to a specified number of rounds with soft gloves without violating any State law.Corbett and party have arrived.No attempt to interfere with or arrest Corbett was made.It is not yet fully decided by Martin Julian to move Fitzsimmons from Corpus Christi to Arkansas.It is said that Corbett will ke arrested on a charge of threatening a breach of the peace and that he will be placed ander a bond of $5,000 to keep the peace.This bond he will refuse to give and if placed under Yock and key he will be taken out on a writ of habeas corpus.Hot Springs, Ark.,

Cooper of this city, and Sheriff McCarver, of Shelby County, in which be reiterates his de- termitation to prevent the Corbett-Fitz.simmons fight being pulled off on Tennessee soil.\u2014_\u2014 CORBETT NOT IN THE COOLER YET.Hot Springs, Ark., Oct.18.\u2014A conference of the citizens\u2019 committee and officials of the Florida Association was held at the Arlington Hotel last night.General Taylor was before the committee and to him was submitted the revised articles of agreement and the five-ounce gloves which the men propose to use in the contest for scientific points.L Whatever was accomplished by the committee is being kept a profound secret, but the plans of procedure arre ui doubtless be In possession of ton puvil session of the public before many hours.Mayor Waters intimated that there would be some early and interesting developments as a re- suit of the conference.Governor Clarke is expected to arrive in the city this afternoon for the pur- pase of looking over the situation and taking whatever action the situation justifies.In view of the determination expressed by the Governor to arrest neither Cor- bett nor Fitzsimmons upon their arrival in the state, the fact that Corbett has now been hcre almost 24 hours and has not yet been placed in custody by either the state or county officials, gives color to the belief that the Governor was playing a game of bluff when he made the threat contained in his letter of a few days ago, and which was addressed to those gentlemen while in Texas.The failure of the Governor to carry out this programme has aiso had the effect of increasing the confidence of the public in the ability of the local committee to bring off the contest under the revised contract entered into by the Florida Club and William Brady, manager for Corbett.It is thought by many that Fitzsim- mons will refuse to sign the articles to which the signatures of the above have been attached, as he was not looking for a soft -glove contest for a limited number of rounds, wherein there are doubts of a decision being arrived at as to who is champion.The big five-ounce gloves with which they propose to fight were submitted to General Taylor for inspection.They looked as large as baby pillows, and are harmless.Nearly all the members of the prize fighting contingent have put in an appearance.Peter Maher and Steve O'Donnell came in on the same train last night as did Cor- bett.: CL SHOOTING.\u2014\u2014 WINANS WINS AGAIN.London, Oct.16.\u2014The final shoot for the revolver championship of the North London Rifle Club took place

Americas Cup Committee have not as yet completed their work of drawing up the conditions tor the next international yacht race, but, as Mr.Rose in his challenge leaves the matter of terms entirely with them, their task is an easy one, and it is believed that a copy of the conditions will be ready to send to the Royal Vie- toria Yacht Club and Mr.Rose by Friday ot this week.It has been learned from a prominent yachtsman and member of the New York Yacht Club, who is fully cognizant of the committee's intentions, that the conditions governing the next year's races would be practically those under which the races between Vigilant and Valkyrie II.were sailed in 1893.The course will be laid either from the Sandy Hook or Scotland lightship, and the cup will go to the winner of three out of the five races.Each course will be as nearly as possible 30 miles in length, the first one to windward or leeward and return, the second an équilateral triangle, the third to windward or leeward and return, and the fourth and fifth, if necessary, to be the same as the second and third.The yachts will bc measured with all weights aboard, and 24 hours\u2019 notification must be given the committee of a change of trim.One day will intervene between each race, and if an accldent occurs the injured yacht will be allowed sufficient time to repair before starting in the next race.DON'T LIKE THH

about calling a\u2019 special meeting for Saturday evening in order to finish the Bas contract business.Ald.Marsolais arrived shortly afterwards.* Where's the Mayor ?\u2019\u201d said Ald.Pre- fontaine.\u201cHe can't be found in the city.He's in hiding uncer the bed, so as to prevent us from having à special meer- ing on Saturday evening.We shall have to advertise for him, and offer a reward of five cents for his recovery.But we shall have the meeting all the same.He then dictated the following requisition to Ald.Lefebvre, the Acting-Mayor: Octobre, 16, 1856.\u201cApres toutes les

telephoned for at once, and asked to go to the City Hall to sign the requisition.Ald.Le- febvre was also telephoned for, and he arrived at half-past four.City Attorney Ethier was consulted as to the legality of calling a Council meeting under the circumstances.He said that the Acting-Mayor might legaliy.call a meeting if it was \u201casserted * to him in writing that the Mayor could not be found in the city.He also stated that all due diligence must ba practired to ascertain whether the Mayor was in or out of the city, or was slck.As a further precaution, Ald.Prefon- taine caused a bailiff to be sent in search of the Mayor, with instructions to cxert all due diligence to ascertain the whereabouts of the Mayor.A lst of the \"orders of the day,\u201d similar to that of Tuesday night, was at once despatched to the printers.The bailiff went to the Mayor's residence and store, but could not find him.He, therefore, handed in formaily a report of \u201cNon est inventus\u201d to the City Clerk, when he returned at five o\u2019clock.The Herald City Hall reporter after- wands met Mr.Bauset, the Mayor's secretary, from whom he learned that efforts had been made from ten o'clock yesterday morning to find the Mayor, but without result.City Clerk David had telephoned to the Mayor\u2019s house about ten o'clock, and had been told that His Wership had gone to attend a funeral, and that nobody knew when he would return from it.Mr.Bauset, representing the City Clerk, was then asked to endeavor to locate, if he could, His Worship the Mayor.\u201cRene\u201d with his usual vim and alacrity, at once started to hunt up the Mayor.He knew that His Worship, as a rule, pays a ma- tudinal visit to La Banque Nationale, His Worship, he was told, had not visited the bank up to the time that Mr.Bau- set had arrived there: It had been rumored that the Mayor would dine with some friends at the St.James\u2019 Club.Mr.Bau- set went there, and walted for over an hour.The Mayor did not

party in that hostelry to which the Chlef Magistrate had been invited.He received a negative reply.On his way back to the City Hall he met Fred Villeneuve, the Mayor's son, who in reply to Mr.Bauset\u2019s question as to the whereabouts of the Mayor, informed him that, so far as he knew, His Worship would be at His Worship's store at about four o'clock.It is enpected that a notarial prov test will be served upon the Mayor and the City Clerk to-day protesting against the holding of a meeting on Saturday night.METHODIST WOMEN'S MISSIONS.Annual Meeting of the Saciety\u2014A Large

written an important letter to the Catholic hierarchy ot America, condern- ing the assemblages of congresses of religion, such as those held recently at Chicago and Toronto.The ictter has been delivered to Archbishop Ryan, of this city, and to all other archbishops.It was the main subject considered at the recent assembling of the archbishops at Washingion, but the efforts at secrecy were successful in keeping the Pope's letter from publicity.What steps the archbishops took cannot be learned, but wiih the views of the Pope thus clearly expressed it is doubtless that the American Church will anathematize congresses of religion in the same way that an interdiction was plac- cd on the Catholic participation in the Knights of Pythias, Oddfellows and other secret societies, Tmportant

Agrees With the Subsequent Developments, {Special to the Herald): Besuharnois, Que., 0:t.18.\u2014Utterly unconcerned in appearance, though white and somewhat haggard-looking, Shortis took his place in the dock this morning.He said to his attendant: (Thank you, I think I will sit down to-day.\u2019 Then he fixed his eyes on the coat of arms ten feet above the jwige\u2019s head and sat for hours gazing at it.Mrs.Shortis is completely worn out, and in spite of the situation slumbered frequently.in court this morning.The three doctors who are to testify on behalf of the Crown are taking great ins terest in the defence\u2019s medical evidence and are speuding their time making notes of the replies of Dr.Anglin to Mr, Macmas- ter.Immediately after the opening of the court Mr.St.Pierre made application on betalf of the defence that the medical expert be given permission to visit the prisoner so as ita more carefully study his mental cordition Mr.Macmaster replied that he had no objections to offer providing the medical experts aprointed by the Crown be allowed to accomparty the medical gentlemen re presenting the defence.Mr.J.N.Greonshields said the defenca would offer no apposition.The court then ordered the sheriff to ald low the experts to have access to the prisoner whenever they, so desired during ha trial.or The crosstexamination of Dr: Jas: V.Anglin was then continued by the Crown Prosecutor, Mr.Macmaster.Up to 11 o'clock the prisoner was never mentioned.The evidence was purely and simply à series of questions and answers on insanity interspersed with lively, tiffs between the counsel: The following is a fair sample of what was enjoyed by the crowded court room: Witness was asked a gpostion and upon pulling out his note book to refresh his memory, Mr.Macmaster objected immedia ately.Mr.St: Pierre was on his feet: \u201cI object to the mode of interrogating the witness in this unfair way and of the munner in which Mr.Macmaster is conducting his case generally.Time and again questions are put to the witnesses by Mr.Macmas- ter which are unfair.Facts half completed have been given to witnesses as full facts.Citations incomplete are given to the witnesses all of a nature to mislead the witnesses.\u201d \"That is an insinuation which I shall severely.resent,» broke in Mr.Macmaster, but Mr.St.Pierre continued.\u201cI will not only speak en passant of the want of decency with which my learned friend is conducting this case and the yells of joy which were heard in the Court House yesterday when he thought he had made some small points, and words such as \u201cThis is a stumper\u2019 or \u2018This is a bombshell for you.\u2019 I leave the question of decency to my learned friend.It may be a matter of justice, but when it comes to A question of levity it is then our right to stop this and we are determined to do sa.\u201d Mr.Macmaster=%This is an insinuation; rir, whieh I shall mot overlook, and I throw it back at you.\u201d Mr.Greenshields=*My learned friend is frequently playirg to the gallery\u201d; and to this Mr, Macmaster replied: \u201cMy learned friedd krows for he kas Had experience in playing to the gallery.\u201d \u2018A few moments after this Mr.St.Pierre again objected to the questioning and des clared tat Mr.Macmaster must condact the case with decency: \u201cI shall not accept your idea of decency,\u2019 retorted the Crown Prosecutor, and His Honor quietly remarked: \u2018Now gentlemen, the witness was saying; repeat the answer to the stenographer\u2019; and the coun sel sat down with a few cross shots.THE PRISONER'S ADMISSIONS.For the first time since the night of the tragedy it was admitted at 12.40 to-day that Shortis had confessed to part of the shooting.It was always understood that the acoused Had deolared that he remember ed mothing whatever of the affair, but in the course of Mr.Macmaster\u2019s severe cross.examination Dr.Anglin said: \u201cWhile talking to Shortis in the Monts real jail he admitted to me that be remembered, partly remembered, the occasion.He said that he pointed the revolver only in fun at Wilson and that it went off and shot him.\u2018Then he found that he was in the power of Mr.Simpson and after that all is blank.When He recovered consciousness of his acts he was basily cleaning a lamp, and \u2018of the interval between he kmew nothing.The cross-questioning continued until 1 o'clock, when the court adjourned: At 2.15 p.m: the trial comtimued, Mr: Macmaster asked Dr.Anglin what Shortis had told him about his discharge from the mill and witness replied that the prigoner Said Mr.Simpson had discharged him Ga the pretext tifat he kept irregular hours, and \u201cIcafed™ a good deal whilst the reason was that he (Shortis) continued to visit people; whom Mr.Simpson did not like.Witness thought that the absence of mos Tal sense prevented Shortis knowing the difference between right and wrong.Beauharnois, Que, Oct.16.\u2014Mr.Mac- master\u2019s questions were continued until 3.45, but nothing new was elicited.Then Dr.Anglin left the witness box after having spent ten hours answering Mr.Greenshields and Mr.Macmaster.Hughie Wilson was called to prove the correctness of a sketch of the office and the position of the men at the moment of the tragedy.Dr.Charles T.Clarke, superintendent of the Rockwood Hospital for the Insane at Kingston, was the next witness.He had an average of 600 patients a year to look after.Many of these were of the criminal class who were received from the penitentiary.He visited Shortig twice and he found him in a very, peculiar state.He scemed totally indifferent to his position.His whole bearing was totally different to what might be expected under the circumstances \u201cHis egotism apd personal vanity were inordinate, and although I led the conversation to the tragedy,\u201d said the doctor, \u201che turned it off and talked on questions suited to a school boy.I discovered evidence of his delusions as to a persecution.His whole bearing convinced me that he was what is commonly called a moral imbecile.He told me of his cruelty to à cat in the most matter of fact way, and in reply to a question laughed that they were deucedly unlucky and he hated ars.\u2019 rE rmaster objected to any statements made by the prisoner to the witness.He pointed out that a scoundrel lawyer might go to a criminal and coach him on what to do and say and even medical experts might then be deceived.He hoped his learned friend would not think he was personal, but he was pointing Mr.Greenshields and Mr.St Pierre proceeded to argue the point, but the latter was stopped by His Honor, who informed the counsel that he was inclined to dismiss the objection.This brought Mr.Macmaster to his feet, and he made a masterly effort to gain his point.The judge ruled otherwise, and the witness was allowed to proceed.He said the prisoner did not understand responsibility at all.Shortis childishly told him that if he had had a coupla of revolvers he could have cleaned out the whole town.Prisoner had said he was a fatalist and explained what he meant by this.He objected to the people of Valleyfield because they would not fight with him.Witness then stated that after visiting him many times he came to the conclusion that the prisoner was suffering from delusional mania.The most marked delusion was about Mr.Simpson.He reasoned with him, but it had no effect, he was like all other men similarly diseased.He had illusions abeut men in Ireland but could not give names.Dr.Clarke then handed into court his written report and read it to the jury.It is a careful and clever diagnosis of the prisoner\u2019s condition made before Dr.Clarke knew of the facts laid bare at the Walerford commission.The report bears out In every respect the plea of the defence, and shows that the author foresaw just what evidence was adduced in Ireland.Its summing up is that Shortis is a moral imbecile.Translator Cote then read the report in French end at 5.45 the court rose until the morning.FOR SOCIAL PURITY, The Baltimore \u2018Congress Discussing Questions of Public Interest.Baltimore, Oct: 16.\u2014Yesterday\u2019s session of the National Purity Congress began with the reading of a paper by Rev.W.T.Sabine, D.D., of New York, on social vice and national decay.Emily Blackwell, M.D.; of the Women\u2019s Medical College, New York, speke upon the responsibiltties of women in regard to questions of morality.The main feature of the tiay\u2019s session Was the address of Mrs.Julia Ward Howe of Boston, who wrote of ¢Moral equality between the Sexes.\u201d The aged lady was unable to be present, but her address was read by one of the delegates and was lis- ened to with the most profound attention.She wrote in part as follows: \u2018The relation of sex are either the crown of sbcie- ty, or its ruin; they either build the state upon a sound and true foundation or they set up fantastic structures upon quicksand which speedily become yawning chasms of loss and misery.\u201cA \u2018false estheticism has much to do with bad morals.We all live as much by the beautiful as by the useful, or more.Let the romance of our youth look forward to married life on a plan of mwtual digmity and equality.In my view the sense of equality is a most important condition in marriage and the surest guarantee of its soundness.Do what you will, inferiority of ability will involve ag its sequence inferiority of moral responsibility.The interests committed to the keeping of women are too momentous to be entrusted by any man to his inferiors.\u201cI hold that equality of moral obligas tion is the one idea which lies at the foundation of any true democracy.This, indeed, is the only equality upon which we can insist.Intellectual and social inequa- tities cannot be done away with by any effort of human will.\u201d Dr.Laura H.Satterthwaite; of Trenton, N.J:; read a paper on \u201c*The great need of the moral crusade.\u2019?Other addresses were delivered by the Rev.Joseph May, of Philadelphia, the Rey: Dr.W.T.Sabine, of New York, and J.W.Walton, of Cleveland, Ohio.Among the most interesting papers rcad at the afternoon session was one by Mrs.Charlton Edholm; of Chicago, on \u201cTraffic in girls amd the Florence Crittenton Missions,\u2019 in which she asserted in the opening sentences that \u2018\u2019there is in America an organized traffic in girls caused by the accursed traffic in drink.\u201d The speaker related some of ber personal experiences while visiting the slums, asserting as a result of her observations the belief that of the 250,000 erring women in this country; more than half were tha victims of deliberate traps laid to ensmare them, after which they were sold into a life far worse than thal of slaves: Among these smares the speaker included mock marriages; dunce-kouses; starvation wages and wine rooms.\"Help us to put down the drink traffic,\u201d she said in conclusion, \u2018for only when it is outlawed by the votes of Christian men will the traffic in girlhood cease and Florence Crittenton\u2019s mission will no longer be needed.\u2019 Many who thought themselves in consumption, having been told so by their physician, have been cured by using Dr.Laviolette's Syrup of Turpentine.ASSAULTS HIS

1803.MONTREAL, OCTOBER 17.MR.TAÉLLONS DISCOURTESY.Decidedly, the Taillon Government is not destined to make a success in the treatment of the representation of the Engiish-speaking element on the Catho- lc School Board.Mr.Frank Hart is duly appointed a member of the board, although he is no more a University man to-day than he was when the Government decided that none but university men could be appointed; but there are circumstances connected with the appointment which tell a great deal as to the motives which dictated it.The letter from the superintendent of public instruction, announcing that Mr.Frank Hart has been appointed, which is now on file in the office of the board, is dated October 3, 1835.It states that Mr.Hart was appointed on the 26th of September, 1896.On the 23rd of September the Gazette published a despatch from Quebec, an- nourcing that Dr.Brennan had resigned and that Mr.Hart would be appointed in his stead.On the next day the same paper published the following denial: Dr.Brennan was last evening shown a despatch from Quebec, saying that ne had resigned his position as member of the Board of Catholic School Commissioners for the city of Montreal, and he stated that there were no grounds for such a statement.In reply to a question whether he intended resigning, Dr.Brennan sald that nothing officially had been done in the matter, and he supposed that his two months\u2019 absence in the Old Country and his recent trips to the Gulf in search of health had a great deal to do With the rumors.Did Dr.Brennan change his mind so suddenly atter this that two days later his resignation had reached Quebec end had been accepted ?It is possible, but it is not probable.On the 1st of October following, five days after the appointment of Mr.Hart, there was a meeting of the Catholic .School Board.Dr.Brennan wes present and accepted positions on the com- mittecs which were then appointed for the year.Would he have acted that way if his resignation had been in the hands of the Government and accepted ?Are we, on the other hand, to sup pose that the pressure was so great that Mr.Hart was appointed and Dr.Brennan evicted afterwards?Two years ago Mr.Hart\u2019s successor had been appointed before that gentleman was aware that he was to be left out.mr TILE FAXLLON LOAN.mures The Taillon loan of December, 1894, $5,- 333,106, was issued to pay for the Hall loan of Ju'v, 1893, $4,106,461, making a loss of $1,220,645.The expenses and commissions on the Hall loan were $276,- 293.Here is a clear loss of $1,502,938, without taking into account the expenses and commissions of the Taillon loan.The commission to the bankers amounted to $170,216, making a total loss of $1,673,154.The provincial 4 per cent.bonds of 1888 were quoted in London on October 4 at 102 to 104.If the province had issued a 4 per cent.loan at par the same debt could have been paid by an issue of $4,106,461.By this operation Mr.Taillon would have saved $1,226,645 in clean cash to the province.Was the loan necessary ?Mr.Hall says no, because at the very time Mr.Taillon issued the loan large sums \u2018were due to the province.The Canadian Pacific owed $7,600,000, and had notified the Government that they would pay off the $7,600,000 six months from June 19, 1894.The Dominion Government owed $2,894,- 000 under 47 Vic, cap 8, which they were ready to pay.There was also due under 47 Vic.cap.4, a subsidy of $2,594,213.Out of these assets Mr.Taillon could easily have paid off the loan of $4,106,- 000 without borrowing a dollar, saving thereby $1,226,000 and interest for 60 years.But this is not all the loss incurred.The C.P.R., as soon as Mr.Taillon had made his loan, reduced the interest on what they owed from 5 per cent.to 4 1-2, and the province is losing $70,000 per annum by this change, consequent upon the ignorance of the Taillon Government in financial matters.The province received 77 from the Paris bankers for the loan.Almost immediately the bankers sold the bonds for 85 1-2, making a prolit of 8 1-2 par cent.on a very short turn; 8 1-2 per cent.on $5,- 338,000 makat a profit of $456,330 for some- Loiy.Who will dare say after this that the Taillon Government is not an economical Government ?It is not to be wondered at that Mr.McDonnell repudiated this loan.And even Mr.Curran skipped lightly around this phase of Taillon financing.AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION, Some Impression of the immensity of the interests represented in the convention which we have this week folded in our arms may be grasped in perusal of the following figures.\u2018They occur in the courze of the speech, in which Pre- siden\" Hurt, of Atlanta, on Tuesday morning in the Windsor Hall, opened the fourteenth annual convention of the American Street Railway Association.Mr.Hurt said that there are in operation to-day in the United States about 179,300 miles of railway on which steam is the motive power.The street railway has already entered so far into rivalry with the older enterprise as to have se: down to Its credit a record of 13,500 miles of road.But, while the passenger receipts on the steam roads last year were $276,031,000, the gross receipts of the street railways in the States during the same period were between $125,000,- 000 and $140,000,000.The ascendancy of the street railway in the scale of modern conveniences has been observed, in little, but in all its bewilderingiy and diverse stages, \u2018right here\u201d in Montreal, as our visitors might say.The horrors of the horse car constitute the basis of comparatively recent reminiscences.It seems like yesterday that the average Montrealer either walked home or took a cab.In those days the system was operated apparently without any regard to the convenience of the passenger.The time table was either unknown or entirely unobserved.The cars ran at long and uncertain intervals and then ran nowhere in particular and as siowly as the favorite in a Herald cup race.Could there be a more complete and blessed change in the complexion of any great public service than has been cffected during the last few years in the street railway system of Montreal ?Our attitude nowadays when addressed on the point is that of wondering how we could ever have worrled along without the well-nigh faultless service which we now enjoy.* But Montreal has simply kept pace with the rest of the Continent in thio respect.The people of every respectable city and town in the United States and Canada are served by some such admirable sysiem; suburban districts everywhere have teen threaded with street car tracks, and the clang of the street car gong is heard in many places, even in the open fields.These great public conveniences, by whatever motive power they may be operated, have been conferred by virtue of the labors of the men to whom Montreal this week is well pleased to stand in the relation of host.Individually these men have devoted their lives to the work.Kor thirteen years they have worked in common through the medium of the American Street Railway Association.The several Interests represented in this Association are immense, as has been seen.Whether we have thought for the street railway concerns themselves or the great electricity enterprises with which most of them are intimately associated, we cannot fall to be impressed with a sense of the great importance of a convention in which it is sought, by enlightened intercourse, to advance these several allied interests, to the benefit of the proprietors and of the community at large.How far the street car men and their associates may be able to.go in making life a little easier for themselves and their fellows no one can foresee.But in discussing means to the improvement of their services and the maintenance of their proper interests they will have the heartiest sympathy of all who entertain a feeling of obligation to them.They are most heartily welcome to this city which their ministrations have done so much to improve.We trust that the visiting delegates will enjoy every minute of their stay here.WHY DON\u2019T THEY GO ON?\u201cI was reading only yesterday in The Montreal Gazette, a Ministerial organ, that Mr.Laurier is pusillanimous, but that the Government are brave and courageous.If they are so brave and courageous why don\u2019t they go on, as they do generally?When they passed the infamous franchise act they did not ask my opinion, or the opinion of my pre- deceesor; when they passed the still more infamous gerrymander act they did not consult me, nor did they consult any of my colleagues; but when they have a difficult question to deal with\u2014and it is a difficult question, I admit at once, because it tends to arouse those religious passions that are always dangerous in every land\u2014they turn around and say: \u2018Why does not Mr.Laurier come to our help and rescue us?\u2019 \u20181 have said more than once, \u2018Give us your policy, and if it is acceptable, if it commends itself to my judgment, I will support it; if it is nct acceptable, if it does not commend itself to my judgment, 1 will fight it, and \u2018will go before the people, and the people may themselves judge between you and me.\u2019 Such is the manner of carrying on responsible government under any British constitution.\u201d \u2014Mr.Laurier at Renfrew.A MODEL RAILWAY.Ottawa Electric Street Railway De scribrd by an American Paper, The Street Railway Journal in its stetches Of the street railway systems of Canada has this to say of the Ottawa line which the delézates will visit on Saturday: \u201cThe company operates under a thirty year fr.nchise, granted by the city in August, 1893.It pays to the city as rental $1,000 per mile of track per annum, The company now operates thirty miles of truck.The greater purt is laid with 56 1.T-rail, on tamarack ties with four boit 22 ip.joints, and on Sparks Street six bolt 28 in.joints.Asphalt pavement is now be- inz laid in the principal streets.By an agreement with the city, the company has, during construction, relaid its tracks on these streets with heavy T-rail without ties.The power station building is 100 x 50 ft, and is constructed af wood covered with corrugated iron.The power plant consists of five water wheels of 500 \\H.P.capacity each, and one of 175 H.P., of the Lefiel \u201cNew American\u2019 type.Each wheel operates under a 25 ft.head, and the whole water power installation is well constructed and works to the entire satisfaction of the company.The electric plant consists of one 700 H, P., two 400 H.P.and three 100 H.P.Westinghouse mrufitipolar generators.The three large machines are separately excited by one of the smaller generators, operated by an independent water wheel, as it has heen fourd tbat much less violent fluc- tuztions of specd in dymamos and wheels have to be provided for them than if the machines are self-exciting.A full description of the reasons for this action and of the details cf the regulating devices used has been published in the Street Railway Journal.One of the 100 H.P.generators operates the cars at night and is belted to the 175 H.P.water wheel.This railway plant is one of five electric generating plants operated from Chau- diere Falls by the Ottawa Electric Rail< way Company and the Ottawa Electric Company, both of which companies are control'ed in the same interests.-\u2018 Station No.1\u201d is the alternating plant for incandescent lighting and power, and has a capacity of 30,000\" lights.\u201cStation No.2'* isæ 500 light arc plant.Stations Nos.3 and 4 have a combined capacity of 15,000 lights, and the railway station has! an output of about 1,200 amperes.The company owns three adjoining car houses, \u20ac6 ft.x 200 ft.each constructed of brick and iron, with a combined storage capacity of 85 cars.These are located near the centre of the system, and one of them contuins a small repair shop.Der- ner & Dutton transfer tables are -used.The company owns fifty-seven motor cars three mail cars and five sweepers.The rollirg stock is unusually well kept and Nandsome in appearance.The cars are finished in natural cherry, and have spring seats upholstered in Wilton.Nearly all were marufactored by the Ottawa Car Company.No trail cars are operated.The cars and offices of the company are heated by elecirie heaters of a somewhat novel pattern, manufactured by Ahearn & Soper.The financial resutts of the excellent mane agement of the Ottawa Electric Railway Co.are seen in the first annual report since the combihation of the old Ottaws City Passenger Railway Co., and the Ottawa Electric Street Railway Co.pre.sented May, 31, 1895.For tho year ending that date the company ran its cars 1, 171,519 miles, and carried 4,119,054 passengers.Gross receipts were $193,991, egui- valent to $0.1563 per car mile, and $0.0445 per passenger carried.Its operating expenses were 63 per cent.of the gross re ceipts amoanting to $122,333 or $0.1004 per car mie, and $0.0235 per passenger carried.Car and motor repairs were only $0.0073 per car mile, power house repsiry less than ali cf this amount, and track repairs about one-tenth.The cost of snow-clearing was $8,233.cn SS arr ur er CORRESPONDENCE.stopped the Trains, To the Editor of the Herald: Sir,\u2014Far from going on with the organization of the Atlantic and Lake Superior Ragway and building of the rest of the line, Mr.Armstrong has just stopped the circulation of tha trains on the Bale des Chaleurs Road.As regards the scheme of Atlantic and Superior, the people of Bonaventure have not much to say; but as to stopping the circulation of trains on the Baie des Chaleurs Road, they feel that they have a right to interfere for the purpose of protecting their interests.This road is in reality a public property; it was built exclusively with public funds, and by the subsidies valid and paid by the Dominion and Quebec governments and the balance by the people of our county who lost part of what they supplied in labor and materials towards the contribution of the road, and for which they were not paid either by the company or the contractors.How is it, then, that the so called company could contro! such a public property, in which the pseudo shareholders never invested a cent, and by stopping the trains deprive the people of the County of Bonaventure of the advantages to be derived from the subsidies paid by the governments ?Is not this amenable to law in one way or another ?Is not a railway charter a public franchise which can not be misused or jeopardised by a gang of impecunious schemers ?CASCAPEDIA.New Richmond, 8th October, 1895.THE KIRMESS.Continued Success (rowns the Efforts | of the Promoters.Last evening was doctor's night at the Kirmess dinner.Sir -William Hingston presided, having by his side Dr.Rottot, Dr.Gardiner, Or.Brosseau, Dr.BE.P.Lachapelle, Dr.Pelletier, Dr.Benoit, Dr.Kennedy and some Lifty other representatives of the medical profession.Dr.Hingston was compeiled to make a short speech.The dances and tableaux vivants continued to be the leading attraction for the crowd.The programme was indeed more interesting than ever.Mme.David\u2019s concert was aiso well patronized, as also was the musical enter- talnment in the art gallery.Business at the various tables seemed to be livelier than ever, although the attendance as a whole was not as large as it might have been with more favorable weather.The programme of dances and tableaux for to-night is as follows: 1.Arrival of Britannia, etc.2.Parade of Nations.3.Flag dance, two little girls.4.Blackbird duet, 18 little girls.5.Sailors\u2019 hornpipe and solo, 9 gentlemen.- od 6.Japanese dance, 4 little girls.7.Roman march, 14 gentlemen.8.Tableaux, \u2018Classic,\u2019 § young ladies.9.Butterflies and solo, 21 young ladies.10.Favorita solo, little

children's day at the kirmess; a special progranune has been prepared for the matinee which should prove interesting to the young folk.Prof.Norman, who originated the idea for a kirmess in Montreal this year has, assisted by Mr.and Mrs.Mellviile, spared no pains in making the attractions as interesting as they have been, and Saturday will see some of the best.Many of the children taking part are puplle of the professor and certainly outside of Fairyland Montreal can hardly find a rival when the graccfulness and accuracy of the little dancers are concerned.The matinee programme is as follows: 1.Parade of Nations.2.Flag Dance, Miss D.Reinhardt, Master Owen.3.Little Gracia, Miss M.Herbert.4.Bulterfly Dance, 20 young ladies, solo, Miss Tetreault.5.Irish Jig, little girl.6.Japancse, the Misses

Lytel.11.Blackbird Dance, 16 little girls.12.Irish Lilt, 16 boys and girls.Olher items specially prepared for the children wiil be added later on.The kirmess will close with a special farewell performance to be given Monday.and solo, young Misses TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS, Burglars have robbed the People\u2019s Bank of Halifax ut Scottstown of $2,000 in cash.There were four deaths from cholera at

Lave recovered in the meantime or not.: For the half month of October the receipts of the United States Treasury have been $9,434,667 less than the expenditures.The deficit for the fiscal year to date is $19,369,325.The deficit for the month will probably be reduced at its close to $5,000,- 000, and for the fiscall year at the close of October to $15,000,000.The gold reserve is reduced from $100,000,000 to $93,000,000.The Board of Traïle of St.John, N.B.; at a largely attended meeting, adopted Eastern standard time and passed resolutions memorializiry the Domimion Government, the banks

St.John, N.B, Oct.16.\u2014 The local elections are over, and Premier Biair is triumphantly returned to power with so large a majority that the Speaker of the House will require a microscope to find the Opposition.Not one of the warmest supporters of the Government hoped for anything like the success that rewarded their efforts to-day.Only in one county (York) did the Opposition come cut ahcad, and there they managed to elect their full ticket.All of the other counties were carried by the full Government ticket.In King's Solicitor-General White and his colleagues, Messrs.Scovil and Fowler, were elected by a large majority.The Opposition mayle a fierce fight there, tut it was of no avail.In Northumber- land Surveyor-General Tweedie, who it was feared would be beaten, was returned with his three colleagues.In Albert Hon.Henry Emmerson and Dr.Lewis were elected.Victoria, Ma- dawaeka, Sunbury and Restigouche send the full Government ticket of two each.Carleton County sends three and Kent three.Thus it will be seen that the Opposition in the new Legislature will only number nine, viz., Stockton, Alward, Shaw and Lockhart (elected by acclamation In St.John), Howe, Pitts, Pinder and Black, the Tork County ticket, and F.W.Sumner, elected by acclamation in Westmoreland.The latter is really an Irdependent.The election in Gloucester County takes place next Monday.Government sure fo win it.With those elected by acclamation and twenty-three returned to-day Premier Blair will have a majority of over four to one, counting in Gloucester, which is certain to elect three Government sup porters.This is by far the largest majority he has ever had since he became Premier in 1883.Jumped to the Pavement.Toronte, Oct.16.-~About 2.15 this morning Thomas Harrington, porter at Sullivan's Hotel, at Bathurst and King Streets, jumped from the window in the attic of the hotel to the street pavement, 35 feet below.He alighted upon his head and hands, recciving injuri»s from which there are little hopes that he will recover.Harrington, who is about 45 years of age, came to Canada from England about four years ago, and has since been employed as a porter at Sullivan's Hotel.He is a highly educated man, of a good family and formerly conducted a large liquor establishment in London, Eng.Harringlon had been drinking heavily for some time.Scats now on sale for Mantell.in Romantic plays at the Queen\u2019s next week.Hog Cholera Prevailinz, \"Windsor, Ont., Oct.16.\u2014Hog cholera is causing the death of many swine in the vicinity of Kingsvijie.South Essex is the pork producing portion of Ontario and the prevalence of such a contagion would result in the loss of many thousands of dollars to the farmers of Essex.i Pianos & Organs, WILLIS & C0., 1824 Notre Dame St.(Near McGill Street ) MONTREAL.\u201cKnabe,\u201d \u201cBell\u201d and \u201cWilliams\u201d Pianos, and \u201cBell\u201d Organs.Wholesale and Retail.644434443444 4433340 PAINTING PAPER HANGING Done to order.Perfect satisfaction guaranteed, and prices the lowest.Gagnier & Lefebvre, (Successors to H.A.MILLER) $ 1996 St.Catherine St.0494444544 434010331380 THE REASON WHY Isell my Tweeds lower than others, TH tell you if you call.We're doing it, and our numerous orders give satisfaction in fit and quality.MAX USHER, 12 McGill College Avenue.Padugh 4 ing ENTISSTS, 0 Rooms 16 £a, Mechanics\u2019 Institute Build\u2019 204 St.James St.Telephone 2939.J.Barker Vosburgh, L.D.8.JOH.Springle, D.L.8.° 3 $ è 3900000000000000000000000¢ Entrust Us 3 with any property trans- : actions you may have, and save money.If you want money, I have $100,000 to loan at 5 per cent, FRED.R.ALLEY, Real Fstate and Financial Broker 3 116 St.James St.Montroal.S00000000000000000000000 +000.Pure Candy MONTREAL.Sold on all Railways, Steamboats and Trans- Atlantic Steamers.Pure (Jroceries are the delight of the cook and the housewife.We guarantee the purity of our goods, and will convince you of our complete stock of family groceries if you will call.Thomson & Johnston, 2450 St, Catherine St, Cor.Drummond HOUSE OF REFUGE.Satisfactory Reports at the Quarterly Meeting Yesterday.The semi-annual meeting of the board of the Protestant House of Industry and Refuge toolt piace yesterday atternocn.There were present Mr.Chas.Alexander, president, Revs.M.Sadler, E.McManus, W.de Rondon-Pos, Lieut.-Col.Theo.Lyman, Messrs.D.Wilson, S.Finley, J.Coristine, W.G.Murray, Jas.Wil son, J.Moore and J.Richards.The president having addressed the meeting regarding the work accomplished the semi-annual report was read by Mr.J.Richards.The average number of inmates {n the County House was 122, the present number 117.In the Moore House 27;
