Revelations of Central Bank Mismanagement.Director MeDonald Assigns.Proposed Compromise on the Mamtoba Veto.His Opinion of Ottawa Irishmen.TELEGRAMS FROM TORONTO.Central Bank Revelations\u2014Director Mc Donald Makes an Assignment.Toronto, Jan.29.\u2014A number of additional revelations were made yesterday with reference to Central Bank swindles.James R.Roaf, solicitor for R.J.G.Barnett, delivered to the master in ordinary letters which passed between his client and Cashier Allen.These documents show that in January, 1887, Barnett commenced to press Allen for money and credit, and evidently succeeded.Letters algo show that Barnett was denounced to Allen as a scoundrel, and Blain, president of the bank, was warned that Allen was a pliant tool in the hands of Barnett by letters from S.G.Barnard, counsellor- at-law, New York.Mr.Roaf gave evidence to the effect that before the failure of the bank, Magnus Davis had told him of a conspiracy formed between brokers in Montreal to bear the stock of Central with object of selling short.The private -examination of E.S.Cox was made public on Saturday.Itshows that Cox and Baxter acted jointly in obtaining $40,000 in deposit receipts from Allen for which they gave him paper executed by various firms.Cox got half.Itis also stated by Cox that Baxter gave him a bundle of papers to hand to Allen and that they were delivered up when Allen issued another $30,000 to them.Foster, Q.C., counsel fer bank, stated that there was 3174,000 on wrong side of Cox\u2019s account, Owing to the indisposition of Judge Rose the motion which was to have been made yesterday in Glengarry Dominion election petition, to postpone Mr.Purcell\u2019s trial on charge of corrupt practices until after the decision of the Supreme Court on the question of the six months\u2019 limit, was deferred till to-morrow.D.Mitchell, McDonald, Central Bank director, who left the city last Monday, hes assigned his estate for the benefit of the Central Bank directors.His estate is said to be wo.th about $200,000, but is heavily encumbered.The assignee states he is in complete ignorance of McDonald\u2019s whereabouts, the assignment having been made through his so- lic/tors.A writ for $50,000 damages was issued yesterday at the instance of the Corporation of York Township against H.R.Frankland, ex-Reeve, for dereliction of duty during his term of «ffice in 1887.The Corporation solicitors refuse at present to say anything about the nature of the case.FROM THE PRAIRIE CITY.Conservative Proposals to Settle the Veto Question\u2014The Ministerial Elec» tions\u2014Investigating Charges Against the Late Government\u2014The 91st Battalion Scandal, WinnireG, Jan.26 \u2014The terms of the proposed compromise made by Brandon Conservatives relative to the abandonment of the agitation for construction of the Red River Valley Railway were in- acc rately wired on Friday.The proposal really is that while discontent exists, and ceaseless agitation is injurious to the province, and Norquay\u2019s failure to build the road will only be rep eated by Greenway, while in any event the road cannot be completed for some years, that while the province does not surrender its right to the principle involved in the question of disallowance, the Conservatives of Brandon adopt the following platform: Disallowance of local Railway Acts to cease after the lst of May, 1891, the C.P.R.to build and operate the following branch lines before the 1st of November next :\u2014Extension of Glenboro branch of the south-western colonization 20 miles ; extension of the Deloraine branch of the © P.southwestern to the western boundary of the rrovince ; and the building of the line known ag the Souris branch from Brandon south-westerly to the Souris coalfield, 25 miles, to be operated by the 1st of November ; that the Red River be made navigable from the American boundary to Lake Winnipeg and Assiniboine by means of dams and locks from Brandon to Winnipeg.There is considerable difference of upin- ion respecting the proposal, and it is probable a Provincial convention of Conservatives will be calied to discuss it before it is generally adopted.It is said, however, that this compromise, finds hearty support in the West.; As no dissolution will take place im mediately, but will early in the spring, it is probable none of the Ministers except Martin will be opposed.Rogers, it appears, was nominated to oppose Green- way in Mountain, under the belief that a general election was imminent, and another convention will be held on Wednesday to decide whether he should be opposed or not, with the probability that he will be permitted to go in by acclamation.The Sun states that although nothing de- finitelv is arranged, there is scarcely any doubt but that Jones will be ofiered South Winnipeg.Luxton says he knows nothing about it.Logberg, the organ of the Icelanders, claims that with a population of 7,000 its people are entitled to one or two representatives in the Legislature.Greenway left for home yesterday, and will be banquetted at Manitou Wednes- dav night.John Macdonald and Alex.Moffatt have been appointed auditors to investigate the books of the late Government and commenced their duties yesterday.The report of the commissioners appointed to enquire into alleged irregularities in connection with the 91st Battalion is about finished.It is understood that the finding is not of a serious nature, only carelessness having been discovered.Siftings announces that a new evening paper will be started shortly.This will make four dailies.Superintendent Whyte, of the C.P.R,, in an interview, says Toronto and Montreal dealers have flooded this country if some of them had their fingers burned in North-West towns, Speaking of the snow blockade, he says there is an exceptionally large snow fallon the North Shore, ti.e worst being east of Port Arthur.He will send down a relieving engine from this division at once, and the blockade will be soon raised.With a new warehouse at Port Arthur in working order, and cars along the line, he felt confident that grain dealers would be freely supplied in future with all cars they required.He denied the rumor that a double track would be built between Winnipeg and Port Arthur at an early date, but ultimately it would be done.Mayor Jones, it is reported, will shortly leave for England to raise funds to carry on the Government.FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL.A Big Land Transfer.\u2014Inferred from the Proceedings : Doucherknow.\u2014 Reward of

bravery in helping to rescue them from a watery grave last month.Mr.and Mrs.Blackburn, it will be remembered, broke through the ice while crossing to New Edinburgh, and Beauchemin, who was skating a short distance away at the tire, hastened to the scene and helped greatly to rescue both in an exhausted condition.The assistant manager of the Standard Insurance Company came to Hull yesterday and waited on Mayor Rochon on business in connection with the sale of the Hull City debentures.The representative was given al the inf x ration r= garding the issue, amounting to $72,000, and a special

up on the northern division.The first American mail since Thursday reached here to-day by train.The delay was caused on the road between Boston and Bangor.The steamer S#¥matian, which was to have sailed yesterday for Liverpool, is detained, waiting for the Canadian mails.E.J.Davis, a wealthy citizen, and one of the directors of the Merchants Bank of Halifax, died last night.He was married to a daughter of the late John Tobin, a prominent Halifax politician some years ago.In the examination, on Saturday, of Win.Preeper, charged with the murder of farmer Peter Doyle, a girl, 14 years old, named Emily Doyle, swore to having heard conversations between Doyle's widow and the accused leading to the belief that Preeper shot the man.The young witness told a very plausible story, but so far it is unsupported.One or two other witnesses remain to be examined.> Arresting Musicians.DuuLiN, Jan.29.\u2014Intense excitement was caused in Galway t.-day by the arrest of a company of musicians who

at Leeds he was prompted by strong feelings to apply most offensive epithets to Lis lordship, concerning the evictions on the Clanricarde estates, and he begs to express his sincere regret that he should have used such language.Earl Grey on Irish Affairs.LoNDoN, Jan.29, \u2014 Karl Gray will soon publish a volume describing his exper.« ences in English and Irish Politics.He maintains that the union was a success until 1886, but that since that year lre- Lund has been used for party ends.In the lst chapter he suggests a bold and original scheme for the settlement of the Irish question.The

Galicia the Real Blow in Bul.garia\u2014Russian and Austrian War Loans Effected.Beruin, Jan, 29.\u2014Herr Von Tiszas\u2019 statement in the Hungarian Diet to-day, has confirmed the conviction that war between Austria and Russia is accepted by both sides as inevitable.Operators on the Bourse - who had waited for despatches from Pesth, offered international stocks for sale freely, but the effect of the Premier's speech will not be fully seen till the opening of business on Monday.Private advices from Vienna state that the diplomatic negotiations recently opened between Prince Lobanoff, the Russian ambassador, and Count Kalnoky, have been abandoned.The condition of affairs now existing between the two Governments is sim ply that each 18 lying in wait for the first chance to strike.Reports received at the War Office from agents on the Polish frontier, intimate a renewal of activity among the Russian troops.Difficulties in the way of transporting the troops are being remedied.The Commissariat has been improved and disease among the troops is decreasing.In the Provinees of Volihynia and Podolia military recquisitions for grain and forage are causing à dearth of provisions.At Kre- menetz eight great magazines arg being built.s They will be surrounded by fortifications.At Doubmno accommodations have been ordered for 30,000 troops.At Luek, between Doubno and Wladimir, Wolinski, a new camp, is being constructed, which will hold 30,000 troops.These preparations would seem to indicate AN INTENTION OF INVADING GALICIA.The Austrian war officials suspect that the real object in view is the invasion of Bulgaria, and that the aim of the Czars strategy is to entrap Austria into sending the bulk of her forces into Galicia, while the real coup is delivered in the Balkan peninsula.If Russia enters Roumania, Austria will hold the step to be a casus belli.It is understood that the Roumanian Envoy obtained from Prince Bismarck the assurance that Roumaniæws territory would be enlarved in the event of the defeat of Russia.The sinews of war have been obtained by the Russian treasury by a loan arranged in Amsterdam, the amount of which is said to be £4,500,000 sterling.Herr Von Tisza has concluded negotiations with the Frankfort Roths:hilds for a loan of 29,000,000 florins.THE GERMAN REICHSTAG.Severe Censures on the Ani-Socinlist Bill\u2014A Curt Answer te Dr.Wind- tlrorst.There was a stormy debate in the Reichstag to-day on the anti-Socialist bill.In the lobbies the consensus of opinion was that the Government would be defeated if they persisted in attempting to pass the bill.The National Liber- erals, Centrists and Progressists have all declared against the measure.The Centrists will jointhe National Liberals in advocating the prolonging of the period fur operation of the present law two years.Such à measure the Government will be forced to accept, besides abandoning the new repressive clauses.Ilerr Bamberger made a powcrful speech.He especially attacked the paragraph enacting that any German who takes part ina foreign country in a meeting to promote the doctrines of Socialism shall be punished with imprisonment and deprived of his rights as a citizen.He denounced this clause as the acme of unwise legislation and a disgrace to a civilized government.Prince Bismarck intended to be present, but his arrival at Berlin had been delayed owing to a severe attack of neuralgia in his face.In Committee on the Military Bill, Dr.Windhorst, leader of the clericals, said the Government had obtained the assent of the Reichstag to the * Septennate Bill\u201d by representing that the measure would be a guarautze of a pacific future.Now they come again demanding more sacrifices in men and money.When these demands are satisfied what assurance is there that the country will have anything sufficient to give it rest from its military burdens ?Count Von Schellendorf, Minister of War, curtly responded that if the approval of the \u2018Septennate Bill\u201d had been associated with any promise of permanent peace it was a mistake.The Government's aim was to protect the country, and the best way to doso was to make it strong against all attacks.A PLAIN STATEMENT OF 1RISH DESIRES.\u201c Uprooting the Landlords from the Soil.\u201d Dupuy, Jan.29.\u2014Michael Davitt, speaking at Rathkeale to-day, advised the tenants of Lord Guillamore not to accept the offer tendered them to purchase their farms, because of the heavy burdens which would surely accrue under the present circumstances, and also because Lord Guillamore had evicted two of his tenants.He considered persons taking the farms of evicted tenants cowardly, slimy renegades and social lepers, a contact with whom should be considered a stigma.The cardinal object of Irish agitation, he said, is the total uprooting of the landlords from the soil.THE HUNGARIAN PARLIAMENT.The Allied Powers Ready\u2014A League in the Interest ol Peace.Pest, Jan.29.\u2014In the Hungarian Diet to-day, Premier Tisza, replying to the interpellation of Herr Helfy, in reference to Russia\u2019s military preparations ; to Austria\u2019s position regarding Bulgaria ; to the advisability of the Government's taking the initiative in summoning an international conference to sotile the Bulgarian affair in the sense of the programme of 1880; und, as to whether j i Qi juice of now being made to maintain peace did not succeed, emphatically declared that there was no ground to doubt the reci procal bona fides of the powers allied, for the preservation of peace and for their own security.n consequence of the marked displacement of Russian troops and their transfer in the direction of the Austrian frontiers the Government without, doubting the Czar\u2019s pacific declarations, and avoiding all semblance of provocation, considers it its duty to see that necessary measures are taken to assure the safety of the frontiers and the efliciency of the army in case of an emergency.The alliance of the Central European powers had never been anything buta league of peace purely defensive and foreign to any aggressive action.PROVOKING A CIVIL WAR.Moving Political Prisoners\u2014Peasants in Military Order.DusLIs, Jan.29.\u2014Rev.Father Mec- Fadden and Alex.Blaine, member of Parliament, who were arrested for alleged violations of the Crimes Act, were removed from the Londonderry jail at 5 a.m.to-day and taken to Dun- fanaghy, County Donegal, where they will be tried.A crowd gathered outside the jail last evening and remained all night, cheering continually.A few stones were thrown at the police as the prisoners departed, by persons in the crowd.When Father McFadden and Mr.Blaine arrived at Dunfanaghy a thousand peasants, armed with st.cks, gathered on the hillsides in military order and tried to enter the town, but were prevented by the military.The cheering of the prisoners by the mob was deafening.1 © - C0 FIRE RECORD.WIssIPEG, Jan.29\u2014A fire last night destroyed the building ocenpied as a tobacco store by L.Werheim and jewellery store by Rudford.Loss not very heavy.NEWARK, N.J., Jan.29.\u2014The greenhouses of James R.Petcher, president of the Essex County Toboggan Club at Shorthills, were burned to-day.Loss 560,000.SprINGFIELD, Mass, Jan.29\u2014The Chemical Paper Company\u2019s mill at South Holyoke was burned last night.Loss $75,000 to $100,000.The origin of the fire is a mystery.BelLEVILLE, Ont, Jan.28.\u2014The hot water apparatus connected with a range in Mr.I.R.Lingham\u2019s kitchen burst this morning blowing the range to pieces and setting fire to the house.The tire was extinguished with but trifling damage.Urrea, N.Y., Jan.28.\u2014Malone, I'rank- line County, was visited by a terrible fire early this morning.It was first discovered in the crockery store of M.C.Fuller, situated in the Empire or Howard House block, and was then under full headway.Owing to the hydrants being frozen no water could be obtained, and a long delay was cansed until connection was made with the river and water forced up by the steamers.Meanwhile the fire had completely gutted the above store and communicated to the Howard House\u2014one of the finest hotels in northern New York\u2014and was under good headway when the water wag ready.During the burning of the Howard ITouse, an explosion, presumably of gas, occurred, blowing out & portion of the brick walls and killing Isaac Chester, à business man of Malone, who was ran- ning out of the bank, and injuring several others.The whole Empire block, including hotel, opera houss, and all the stores in the block, were completely destroyed.An estimate of the totul lass places it at $200,000, with probably about 575,000 insurance.ToroxTo, Jan.29.\u2014Fire hroke out \u2018n Martin, Tom & Co.\u2019s truss factory, 152 Yonge street, last night about eleven o'clock.Before it could be extinguished the stock was damaged to the extent of $5,000 or £4,000.Shortly after midnight fire was discovered in Jacques & Hays\u2019 old building, west Esplanade street.\u201cIt was dainaged to the extent of $2,000.New York, Jun.30.\u2014Defective plumbing led to a serious explosion in a Grand street tenement house this afternoon and barely escaped costing two lives.A young son of John Martin, who keeps a saloon on the ground floor, and George Weber, the bartender, went into the cellar, where some plumbers ha | been tinkering with the gas pipes, and struck a match.A terrific explosion followed and knocked man and boy insensible.The tenants swarmed from the house and a genuine panic resulted.Had not Martin, at the risk of his ute, rushed into the building and rescued Weber and the boy, they would have perished.A tenement house on West Main street, caught fire to-night and was damaged to to the cxteut of 55,000, F.W.Spicer, aged 29, a fireman, fell at the hydrant and broke his neck.He died instantly.BixcuamrroN, N.Y., Jan.28.\u2014Ahou 10.15 this morning the large gasoline tank, owned by the Binghamptou Gas and Electric Co., containing 50,000 gallons of gasoline, sprung a leak.The fluid encircled the flag stations of the D.L.& W., located at Prospect Avenue, and before its occupant, Tom Sullivan, ccull escape from the diminutive structure the oil ignited, fatally burning him.An alarm was sounded, the fire department quickly throwing water on the flames.Here it was supposed the] matter ended, butthe companies had scarcely reached their quarters when an alarm was sounded from box 321 at Weed\u2019s tannery.Here it was found the gasoline was flowing from the sewer pipe and had ignited.The department laid lines, doing their best to extinguish the flames, but without

Jan.29.\u2014As James T.Rule, the city editor of the Knoxville Journal, was entering St.John\u2019s Episcopal Church this morning, accompanied by his wife, he was accosted by three men, who wanted to speak with him.He walked to the opposite side of the street with them, where all four stood talking some minutes.The three men were John and Wm.West and a man named Goodmar, They attacked Rule on account of a communication which appeared in the Journal reflecting upon Dr.T.A.West, City Physician, father of John and William West.Rule refused to give the name of the author of the communication or to make any satisfactory answer to questions.John West then struck Rule, and attempted to bear him to the ground, but the latter drew a revolver and shot hig assailant through the body.William West immediately opened fire on Rule.One of the balls passed through his wrist and another scraped hig scalp.Rule then fired two more shots, one taking effect in the shoulder of Goodman, who seemed to be attempting to separate the combatants.A number of men rushed from the church and stopped the fight.John West was carried home in a dying condition.Rules injuries are not dangerous.and Goodman is not seriously hurt, Wu.West escaped without a scratch._\u2014.COERCING NON UNION WORKMEN, Stopping Them by Armed Force.SHAMORIN, Pa, Jan.29.\u2014Several nonunion miners, while on their way to work at the Henry Clay and Bear Valley colliery, Shamok\u2019n, Pa., were halted while crossing the mountain at 5.30 this morn- ingand commanded to return liome, which command they obeyed.They vers stopped at various points on the 1uountain paths, but were unable to recognize tae parties who halted them az 1t was quite dark.They were told that if they persisted in going to work they would be killed.The coal and iron po lice are daily escorting men who have: been threatened to and from work.There is much bad feeling over the return to work of the repair miners at the Luke Fidler and Cameron collieries, and and charges of bad faith are made against some of the leading strikers.RAILROADS WANT PROTECTION.Shall Freights be Cheap for All or Dear to Benefit the Pacific Roads ?WasmiNGroN, Junuary 28.\u2014The question of protecting American transcontinental lines against the competition of the Canadian Pacific for California freights is likely to be brought up in the Senate next week.The recent refusal of che Dominion Government to allow grain to be shipped in bond from Manitoba to Europe by American lines to Eastern Canadian lines without the payment of duty will be made prominent., Already Canadian citizens interested in Pacific coast trade are urging their government to rescind this order lest the American Treasury Department shall revoke its very proper circular under which the Canadian Pacific is bringing heavy California freights to the Eust cheaper than the American lines want to carry it.The main argument used against the facilities given the Canadian Pacific will be that the same principle should apply against that corporation to keep coast~ wise trade of the Pacific in the hands of American citizens that now operate to prevent foreign shipping lines to compete for this coastwise trade.That is to say, the Pacific railroad companies are going to insist upon a monopoly.When the question comes up in the Senate perhaps the shippers and consumers who are interested in cheap freights will be heard from.If no Senator speaks up for this class they willundoubtedly make themselves heard.The question will arise whether this government is run for a few railroads or for the mass of the people.THE FISHERIES COMMISSION.(BPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD.)

said that was all right; opened the doors of the safe so that the officers could see that the bags of gold and silver were there, and promised to transfer the money to the bank the first thing in the morning.It was then past banking hours.The oflicial left entirely satisfied.THE FLIGHT.The next morning the oflicial returned to see the promise carried out.The agent did not appear, and after waiting a reasonable time the representative of the Government had the safe opened.There were three or four sacks of silver and balf a dozen other sacks of silver with a sprinkling of gold coin on top, amounting altogether to a couple of thousand dollars.The receipts for the advauce sale had been nearly $25,000.Now, how did the swindler get away ?That is a question the detectives of the City of Mexico have been puzzling over ever since.In the land of the cactus espionage is well nigh perfect.The system does not recognize the possibility of a suspect leaving the City of Mexico and getting out of the country unless the Government is entirely willing.There are only two routes by rail from the City of Mexico to the border.One is south-east- ward to the port of Vera Cruz, a single train daily, leavipg the capital in the morning and reaching the gulf after a run of fourteen hours.The other route is northward by the Mexican Central, three nights and two days to the Rio Grande :.t El Pasco.Bourton had just a night's start of the Mexican authorities, and he made good use of it.As soon us the official who called at the office in the morning and found that the receipts were missing from the safe reported to his superiors, all of the thief taking machinery was put in operation.The Government owns and operates telegraph lines to all parts of the Republic.These were utilized, and a minute description was telegraphed everywhere that there was an operator.THE LOST TRAIL.The trail was taken up by the most experienced officers at the capital.Tt was easily found.The bogus agent, it was soon learned, had made his appearance at the Mexican Central depot in the evening, carrying a hand-bag.Ie had explained casually that he wanted to go up the road a short distance to meet somebody who was coming down from the States on the opera business.He bought a ticket to a station where he was informed he would be able to meet the train he wanted.In this open manner, and apparently with only the baggage necessary for a night's ride, he had left the city.The detectives found that he had carried out this programme to the letter.He had riddon that night to San Juan del Rio, six or seven hours from the City of Mexico, and there he had alighted after midnight to catch the train bound south for the city.That train he had laken, and there the trail disappeared.Somewhere between San Juan del Rio and the city the swindler had left the train.The country is wild, mountainous, and thinly inhabited.Nobody travels through it alone.Even the trains carry half a carload of soldiers while making this part of the route.The stations are very few, This region received and, as the sequel shows, did not swallow up the bold swindler and his $20,000.The country for many miles eut from each station was scoured by bands of gens-d\u2019armes after the disappearance of Bourton, but not a trace of him could be found.Just where he had left the train could not be established.His course after taking the south-bound train at Sun Juan has remained to this day u complete mystery.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 - pl You thin! that cold of yours run on.You think re light thing, But it may run into catarrh.Or into pneumonia.Or con- ion.Lo.su is disgusting.Pneumonia is dangerous.Consumption is death itse : The breathing apparatus must be on healthy and clear 0 all obstructions ai offensive matter.Otherwise there is s ahead.rouble al diseuses of these parts, head, nose, throat, bronchial tubes and nis, can be delightfully and entirely cured by ady, thousands caa tell you know you don't know this alre and thousands of people aa bl They have been le yits the use of Boschee\u2019s German Sprup.If NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.© + The Original \\exeesLirrLe Wegativo LIVER e\\\\elS PILLS.BEWARE OF IMITATIONS, ALWAYS ASK FOR DR.PIERCE\u2019S PELLETS, OR LITTLE SUGAR-COATED PILLS.Being entirely vegetable, they operate without disturbance to the system, diet, or occupation, Put up in glass vials, hermetically sealed.Always fresh and reliable.As a laxative, alterative, or purgative, these little \u2018Pellets give the most perfect satisfaction.SICK HEADAGHE, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Constipas tion, Indigestion Bilious Attacks,andall derangements of the stom- , ach and bowels, are prompt- 4 ly relieved and permanently cured by the use of Dr.;

Mr.J.G.Monk, vice, while round the board were Messrs.R.B.Coulson, C.Lamothe, C.Thomas, P.Pollack, Ross McKenzie, (who broke a shoe half way over),Simpson, Henshaw, Gordon, Stevenson, T, Gilmour, whipper- in, these being trampers ; Mr.Duncan McIntyre and Mr.W.L.Mathews, who were timekeepers and starters; Mr.Campbell, president of the Prince of Wales Snowshoe Club; Mr.McWood (Argyle) the six competitors, and Messrs.C.Bryden, H.Shorey, C.Morris, L.D.Sims, Kinnear, H.Doucet, Pruyn, Harvey, A.S.Robertson.When the men numbered up, it was found that forty were present.After the dinner had been very heartily discussed, a rap at the President's end of the table brought the talkers to order, that popular and decidedly able club oflicer addressing those present as follows : \u201c It gives me very great pleasure to see so many here.It speaks well for snowshoeing.When aman comesout of his office in town and faces the cold frost and wind, with the thermometer away below it says a deal for him that he will put on his snowshoes and tramp out through the cold.I think it most encouraging to see go many out here.If only those men not in oflice knew what encouragement it is to see a good turnout, they would, 1 feel sure, not enly come out, but induce their friends to do so too\u201d (cheers).The names of the winners were then, amid loud and prolonged cheering, read out.Mr.Ross, prior to calling on the President of the Prince of Wales\u2019 8.8.Club to present the first prize, condoled with Mr.Spackman on the hard luck he had had at the finish.The first prize was then presented to Mr.Mclarlane, by Mr.Campbell, who complimented him on his victory.The prize is a very handsome gold medal, the gift of Mr.Leo Ross.The President reserved to himself the pleasure of presenting the second prize to Mr.Kirkhouse.This was very handsome, :u bronze bull dog strugeling to free himself from his chain.Mr.Ross, amid considerable cheering, suid that the prize wus must appropriate.He admired\u2014as he felt sure all present did\u2014Mr.Kirk- house\u2019s pluck winning the prize, but it was not on that score only that he did so; it was because the recipient had entered for pure love of sport, and it was that alone that had made Mr.Kirkhouse turn out and set a gocd example to his juniors that afternoon.(Loud cheers.) Mr.Spackman was greeted with loud and prolonged applause when receiving his prize, a handsome bronze-mounted look- Ing-glass from Mr.JG.Monk.Mr.Gil- mour gave Mr.McNaughton his, a nice tankard, and complimented him on winning two prizes the same week.(Bravo.) Then came the fun of the evening, during which the Emeralds and the Lachine Club, in response to an invitation, arrived, headed by Messrs.J.D.Purcel and Church, their respective Presidents.The Emeralds were: Messrs.McGoldrick, McKinnon, Jones, Conroy, G.Ellis, A.Cawthorne, G.Bohan, McGill, J.McKenna; the Lachine trampers were.Messrs.Priest, Vice- Pres dent, H.Magee, second Vice-Presi- dent, Damford, Davis, Taylor, Johnson, Underwood, the brothers Metier, and Le- plane.The Emeralds had tramped to Lachine from their rendezvous, ard the local club had also had a big walk.A very jolly evening was passed.Mr.D.McIntyre sang the \u201cHills of Zion,\u201d which has a capital chorus ; Mr.Bryden scored with a galloping song and chorus, \u201c Away over yonder, we\u2019ll have a glorious time,\u201d (and so we all did); the Club Mascot and Madame La Mascotte were introduced, and danced a duet, with probably the most original wind-up that ever snowshoe men saw, (an encore was refused on the ground that nature must be obeyed, and that the dancers had already done a lot of work); Mr.Ross, Mr.McWood, Mr.Doucet, Mr.McCock and Mr.Ellis, of the Emeralds, contributed each to the evening\u2019s fun, the Emerald man\u2019s reception being unanimous.LACHINE CARNIVAL.The Lachine folk had an enjoyable skating carnival on Saturday, the ice being in A 1 order.TOBOEGANING.THE COMBINATION RACE.This unique event was won by F.Johnson, A.S.Lamb being second, and J.Turner third.The chutes were in good order despite the wind.À representative of Tur HeraLp tried the toboggan slide at the Athletic Club House on Saturday and reports it to be in excellent order.MONTREAL TOBOGGAN CLUB.Tru: Heravp is requested to contradict the report which appeared in an evening contemporary to the effect that the club is on the point of breaking up.Support is asked for, from members, in the way of patronage, or, as was stated a few days since, the chutes will have to be shut up.That day is not in the immediate future, however.ROD AND GUN.THE CITAMPIONSHIP.The result of this inter-club match is, that Lachine beat the Montreal Gun Club by four birds, breaking 44 out of 75.The match was shot at the local gun club's grounds.A special meeting comes off at the Windsor Hotel on Tuesday at 8 p.m.THE TUQUE BLEUE.This club had a hard, but enjoyable trump, on Saturday to Longue Point, full report of which is unavoidably held over owing to the late hour it came to hand.- \u2014 - YOUNG DESPERADOES.A Gang of Youthful Burglars Arrested for Committing Three Different Burglaries.On Saturday evening the police made à catch of a gang of young rogues, whose record as related by the detective who worked up the case, is certainly a remarkable one.For some time back Detective Carpenter, who is the oflicer referred to, has had Lis eves on the gang and Saturday evening his watch was rewarded with success, and the gang of maurauders lodged in the Chaboillez Square Police Station.Their names are as follows :\u2014Robert Graham, 20; Samuel Briggs, 18; Wm.Huddle, 16: Kane, 18; Franklin, 18: Leonard, 19.During Saturday evening a carter saw some young fellows entering the Montreal Curling Club, on St.Catherine street UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES and at once notified the police.Detective Carpenter was the officer on duty, and as soon as the report was made surmised that the young fellows ha had been watching were the ones to take care of.Acting on this, he, with the services of Seargeant Charbonneau\u2014who has also hs been on the case\u2014and four police- nen, went to the rendezvous of the gang, but did not find them there.While there the officers learned that Watchman Clark, of the G.T.R.had turned out four boys from a car on a switch.On this the oflicers went to the Versailles street crossing, part of the detail going down Mountain street and the other down Versailles.There, sure enough, they saw the young fellows in one of the empty freight cars.When tho oflicers appeared, the party TRIED TO MAKE OFF, but were caught before they got far.Franklin was caught with a coat, three caps and a bottle of Scotch Whiskey on him; Kane.a new sealskin cap, three pairs of gloves; and Leonard was the possessor of a coat and some caps, which he dropped in the snow.These articles Detective Carpenter at once recognized as among those stolen from the Curling Club, and at once taxed the Young thieves with it, when they confessed.Ile learned also by Cross-ques- tioning his prisoners that his suspicions with regard to the two other members of the youthful gang of desperadoes, Huddell and Briggs, Were correct, and proceeding to their respective homes arrested and lodged them in the Chaboil- lez square station.There it was soon learned that Huddell and Briggs, although not concerned in the Curling robbery, were implicated with the rest of gang in the robbery of the Pullman Car Company\u2019s storeroom at the Bonaventure Station, also the robbery of a hardware store on St.James street, near the Bonaventure depot.The young rascals appeared to be well organized, and had A REGULAR RENDEZVOUS and leader.They obtained entrance into the curling rink by the rear, thence into the refreshment room, where they purloined the coats, ete., of the members.At the Tullman store shop they broke open a window and stole some silver Spoons, etc, of considerable value.In the hardware store they appropriated a long list of articles, and disposed of some of them at the second-hand store of Isaac Vineberg, on St.James street.The articles were found there shortly after the robbery by Detective Carpenter, and Mr.Vineberg, on Saturday evening, identified the young fellowsas the persons who had sold the goods to him.\u2018At the last tern of the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench it will be remembered that Huddell, Brigss and Graham were on trial on suspicion of having broken into the house of a Mrs.Bonne Enfant, on Acqueduct street.Graham was found guilty by the jury, butHuddel and Briggs got off.Mr.St.Pierre, the counsel for Graham, afterwards got the verdict in his case quashed and ne also was liberated.The oflicers Say that they have sot asa ese aguiust the young rascals and they will appear before the Police Magistrate to-day.Detective Carpenter deserves credit for the clever manner in which he works: up the case.THE DEBTOR'S LOT.Something More About Imprisonment for Debt.The Remarks of the \u2018\u2018Herald\u201d Have Good Effect.\u201c Well, how are your debtors?\u201d said the young lawyer, from whom THe Her- ALD obtained an interview some time ago, onthe capias dct, to a reporter of the paper.\u201cOh, all right,\u201d replied the reporter.\u201cI suppose that while they are in jail they will be fed well?That is all they can hope for, ain't it?\u201d \u201c Well yes, that is all the pleasure they have, except tramping up and down the corridor.\u201d \u2018 Is there no chance or way of their getting out at all?\u201d \u201c No, as I told you before, there is none, except the law is amended or their creditors relent.I think that something will be done before long, however, in the matter.The two editorials which appeared in Tir: Heraun, backed up by the statement of facts published with them, showed the public the exact state of affairs and raised considerable comment.I know that among the lawyers any way the law was pretty well discussed, and the general opinion is that something should be done to have the law amended.Several of them expressed their intention of writing to the papers about the matter, especially since the publication of the letter in Tur HERALD, attempt ing to defend the act.Whoever wrote that letter was not fitted for the present century.He should have flourished in the 10th or thereabouts, when he would have had full scope to work his will on unhappy debtors.It is only modern Shylocks, and birds of like feather, who would like to see the present capias act kept in force.In your interviews you specially brought out Frederick Keasey\u2019s case, which, I admit, is an especially touching one; but it is only an illustration of many others.Last year, I think, I was engaged in a case where the circumstances were, if anything; worse.A young married man with a wite and baby took a house in the upper portion of the town.The husband was a city salesman for a big wholesale house in the city.Well, things turned out bad, and he got in arrears for his rent.He tried to make up, but it was no use, and one month\u2019s rent after another was chalked down opposite his name until he owed fully half a year.The house was a small one, and the furniture in it was not sufficient to be security for the amount owing.He went to his landlord and stated the facts to him.\u2018You have got to pay somehow,\u2019 was the reply.\u201c Have you no friends?\u201d The poor devil had none, and determined to go out to Oregon territory, where a brother of his was at the time, and try and find something to do, leaving his young wite behind until he could get settled.Well, it is the usual story, and he was clapped into jail for a considerable time until the brother came forward and settled up the Dill.While he was in jail, the young wife and mother had to put her young baby in the Creche and take work by the day in one of our big retail dry goods stores.Such sad cases as this are of frequent occurrence under the present capias act aud 1 hope that before long some one will take up the matter in the Legislature and obtain an amendment to the law.I think that a prominent politician intends to do this, if I am not mistaken, and I hope that when he does 80 he will secure the abol- ishment of imprisonmont for debt altogether.\u201d \u201cUntil this is done then, the debtor is perfectly at the mercy of his creditor 7\u201d \u201cThat's about the size of it\u201d and the interview terminated.7e FIRE RECORD.At 5.30 Saturday morning the eastern section of the brigade was called out by an alarm from box 119 for a fire in Mr.Durocher's grocery store, 26 Lafontaine street, Hochelaga.The fire started under the counter, and from there got into the shelving, where it was making good headway, when a stream from No.13 station subdued it.Damage about $600 ; covered :.y insurance.Whilst the brigade were working at the above firm an alarm was sent out from box 26 for a fire which had started in the Reformatory School, 1189 Mignonne street.The fire was between thie fiooring in the boot and shoe department, and, to all appearances, originated from the engine.Although some of the flooring had to be torn up, the damage will only be slight.At 8.26 o'clock box 82 was pulled for a fire in Mr.Didier Wilhelmy\u2019s dwelling house, 201 Plessis street, where a blaze had started among the fireboards i.: the kitchen.Damage slight.An alarm was rung from box 124, Saturday evening, for a supposed fire in the building lately occupied by R.Mitchell & Co., founders.Investigation showed that there was no fire, some burning rabbish in the furnace causing a dense smoke, which frightened some of the neighbors.\u2014_\u2014 IRELAND PAST AND PRESENT.Mr.Charles Libault\u2019s Interesting KLec- ture Before L\u2019Union Catholique.The large hall of L\u2019Union Catholique, situated under the Church of the Gesu, was never more densely packed than yesterday afternoon by members of the Union and numbers of Irish Catholic citizens, the occasion being a lecture on Ireland, delivered in French, by Mr.Charles Libault, a rising young French- Canadian orator of Montreal.The lecture, although an oft repeated story, was à very interesting one and was attentively listened to by the large audience present.Commencing at the dawn of Irish history the lecturer told in eloquent language of the varied vicissitudes of one of the bravest peoples the world has ever known.As a peculiar fact he stated that the people conquered by the Irish became even more Irish than the Irish themselves, and to this day the stranger visiting the Emerald Isle, no matter what his nationality, left it with a linger- 1.12 regret and love for the Isle 0° Saints.Coming down to the days of Christian Ireland, Mr.Thibault, with beautiful word painting, drew pictures of Ireland\u2019s greatness.He gave detailed descriptions of the churches, colleges and institutions that so plentifully dotted the land, and of the scholars and teachers who went forth from the little isle to teach christianity and civilization to tl.e nations of Lurope.Then the bravery of the Irish soldier t of the past and present was referred to;

Rev.E, Gould Last Evening.Two hundred years ago yesterday, there was born in Stockholm, Sweden, a man destined to fill important positions during his life-time in his own country, and to leave lasting impressions on the religious mind of future centuries.Last evening the pulpit of the Church of the Messiah was occupied by the Rev.Mr.Gould, who delivered an eloquent address on Emmanuel Swedenborg.Emmanuel Swedenborg, or Svedberg, as the name was first written, was the third son of Jasper Sved- berg, Court Chaplain of Charles XI., who afterwards was successively DProfes- cor at the University of Upsal and Bishop of Skara.Emmanuel, from his earliest youth, evinced great precocity and elevation of mind.He was educated at Upsal, where 1n his twenty-second year, he obtained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, his treatise being a commentary of sentences fromm Seneca, Publius Syrus and other writers, which he afterwards published.On leaving the University he went to England, where he spent a year between London and Oxford, coming into contact with the English celebrities df the day.He travelled through Holland, France and Germany, and after four years\u2019 absence returned to his native country.While on Lis travels he was in constant communication with his bro- ther-in-law, to whom he wrote, detailing every new invention and discovery in mathematics, astronomy and mechanics, and sent home models of all such inventions as he thought would be useful to his country.He was himself the inventor of a number of improvements, among others an air-tight stove, and a new method of calculating longitude.On his return to Sweden he assumed the editorship of a scientific periodical, and from this time dated the beginning of the brilliant scientific and philosophical career, which both as an editor and still more as a practical mathematician and scientist, he was about to achieve.Under the patronage of the great Polham, who has been called the Swedish Archimedes, he speedily rose to eminence, and was appointed by Charles XII.assessor of the Board of Mines of Sweden.We have the titles of upwards of thirty volumes published from 1716 to 1733, relating to astronomy and natural science.At the siege of Friedrichshall, at the request of Charles X1I, he planned rolling machines, by which two galleys, five large boats and a sloop were carried overland a distance of fourteen miles, whereby the King was enabled to bring his heavy artillery to bear under the very walls of the city.In 1719 the Svedberg family was ennobled, and its name was changed to Swedenborg, and Fuimanuel from that / time was entitled to sit with the noble of the equestrian order in the tion assemblies of the States.In 1724 fie was offered the professorship of mathematics in the University of Upeal which he declined.Abandoning hyis desultory studies, he remained silent for eleven years, and devoted himself to the duties of his assessorship and tv a systematic description of mining and smelting and the construction of a theory of the origin of creation.In 1734 he published at Leipzic his Opera Philosophica et Mineralia, of which the second and third volumes describe the manufacture of copper, iron and brass.He devoted much attention to the study of anatomy and physiology, believing that it is only through a thorough knowledge of the human frame that thé science of the soul and its commerce with the body can be obtained ; he published treatises on the bones of the skull and ossification, on the Dura Ileata, on the anatomy of all the parts of the larger and lesser brains, on the red blood, on the animal spirit, and others.These works attest the wonderful industry and inquisitiveness of the man, while they are acknowledged to contain the germs, and in many cases much more than the germs, of some of the most astounding discoveries in the science of the human system of modern times.His great work on the Brain, which is now being for the first time translated from the Latin.under the editorship of Dr.Tafel, of London, has been pronounced a marvel of scientific knowledge and research, and anticipates many of the most brilliant discoveries of anatomists and physiologists of the present day.The same may be said of \u201chis two great works on the \u201cAnimal Kingdom,\u201d or \u201cThe Kingdom of the Soul,\u201d that is, the human body viewed as the home of the spirit of man.At the age of fifty-five years, lie devoted himself wholly to higher pursuits.\u201cI have been called,\u201d he wrote, \u201cto a holy office by the Lord himself, who most graciously manifested himself to me, his servant, in the year 1743, when he opened my sight to a view of the Spiritual world, and granted me the privilege of conversing with spirits and angels, which I enjoy to this day.From that time I began to print and publish various things that have been seen by me, or revealed to me, as respecting heaven and hell, the state of man after death, the true Worship of God, the spiritual sense of the Scriptures, with many other most important matters conducive to salvation and tr.1e wisdom.\u201d .In his work, \u201cThe True Christian Religion,\u201d he says, \u201cSince the Lord cannot cowe (again) in person (on this earth) and yet he las foretold that he would tome and establish a New Church, which Is the New Jerusalem, it follows that He is to do it by means of a man Who is able not only to receive the doctriues of this Church with his understanding, but also to publish them by the press that the Lord manifested\u201d Himself before me, Îlis servant, and sent me on this office; afterwards He opened the sight of my spirit, and thus admitted Ine into the spiritual world and gave me to see the heavens and the hells, and aise to Speak with angels and spirits, ft is now inua oi v ontinually for many The doctrines of Swedenb : tained in thirty large volumes The fol lowing Summary is taken from one of the Liturgies of the New Chureh : \u201c1st.There is only one and true God, in \u201cwhom is Divine Trinity of Father Holy Spirit, which are one \u2018in the soul, the body and their o are in man, and this one L.rd

of God and from God.' ~cCAuse \u201c5th.In abstaining from evil doing good, we are to act as of o but we must at the same time and acknowledge that the will derstanding, and the power tod from the Lord alone.\u201d Swedenborg teaches that the sou] spirit is the very man himself, the bod, ï being but the instrument, and that Whe the latter is finally put Off, the soul the man, stands forth in perfect human form, in its own spiritual body, prepared to enter upon its eterna] Career Hence, those who have passed frox earth, and whom he was permitteq to see, he finds in all respects men and women like unto their former selveg Death makes no change in the real man, Who retains all that belongs to him ay man, less the material body.He teaches that the \u201cWord\u201d as Le calls it, is the inspired Scripture, is like man himself, in that it has a body and à soul, and that just as the soul is the real man, so the spiritual sense is the real Word.Hence the difficulties and contradictions and pecaliarities of the letter are the cause of no anxiety to him since they are part of the Divine plan, and, like the imperfections, deformities and diseases of the natural body, are all'seen in the light of the spiritual part to be necessary to human develo ment and growth, and especially to the development an growth of what is spiritual and true, and elevated above the changes of this mortal life.In the wars and cruelties spoken of in the Old Testament he sees only the portrayal of spiritual conflicts, and the manner of dealing with one\u2019s own 1- ward evil passions and wrong impulses.Swedenborg also teaches that the New Jerusalera, spoken of in the Book of Revelations, 18 not a type of heaven, but of à new and final dispensation of the Church on earth.Jerusalem, throughout the Scriptures, is the representative of the Church of God, and the New Jerusalem would therefore denote g new and bigher and more perfect dispensation of the Church, and this is the plain import of the language of John, who speaks of it as something coming down out of heaven to earth, and taking up its abode with men.According to Swedenborg, therefore, the New Dispe 18ation of truth, the New Church, occupies the same relation to the Christian Church as the latter bore to the Jewish Dispensation.Thus, as the Christian Church itself was the fulfilment of Old Testament prophecy, and the opening up of the interior laws and principles concealed within tlie rites and ceremonies of the Old Covenant, so, in the truth of the New Church are to be found in like manner the fulfilment of the New Testament promises and predictions, and the ushering in of the latter day Church.ale! y andj Urselyeg believe the yy.050 are \u2014 'TWIXT SUN AND MOON.A Total Eclipse of the Moon Witnessed in

Montreal.The eclipse which was visible all over North America, begun at 4 hours 36 minutes after noon, and ended at 8 hours 15 minutes Montreal time.The first signs of the rising orb became visible
