the administration of the Recorder\u2019s Court by the adoption of a court register, on which will be inscribed ali cases pending tial in that court and which will be laid before the presiding Recorder every day, so that all cases will be called in order of entry.Adjournments and postponements will also be entered in the register; cases enlarged for eight days or a o fortnight will be sa designated and everybody will have access to the register.Up to the present all this has not becn done, A diary has been kept of all actions entered in court, but the diary was not placed under the supervision of the Recorder, and a number of cases are now pending in court which were entered in June and July and which were periodical ly postponed from one date to another without the consent or even the knowledge of the Recorder.Such a gross piece of interference in the proper administration of justice is a scandal unequalled by any yet published from that court.cq 3 The reform which is now being introduced was brought about in quite an unexpected way.The investigation, which has been made into the $15,000 deficit of the Recorder's Court made it apparent that pew methods were needed in that de partment.Some time ago the attention of the civie treasury department wes called to the fact that the revenue from butchers\u2019 licenses had greatly decreased from that of former yéars; that the revenue aotions entered, for neglect to pay licenses and from fines imposed in such cases, were this year far smaller than in previous years.This did not fail to come to the ears of the Deputy Recorder, who on Saturday morning summoned the clerk of the Rocorder\u2019s Court, Mr.L.Forget und asked him if he had any actions against butchers now pending trial.The olerk replied affirmatively.In a number of cases he had himself granted adjournments, but he had been requested to do so and said that his action had been influenced by aldermen.This was the second time the clerk of the Recorder's Court made an indirect charge against aldermen of having influ- eticed him.In an interview which Mr.Forget gave a Herald reporter on March Ynd, he was asked to explain an interview with him published in an evening contemporary in which it was stated that Mr.Forgot had said that a person m his posl- tion was subject to aldermanic influence.Mr.Forget\u2019s reply then was: \u201cThe re- porier who wrote that misunderstood my meaning.\u201d His meaning when he said tv Deputy Recorder Desrosiers: \u2018\u201cl am influenced by aldermep,\u201d cannot be mistaken, and the Deputy Recorder told him that if be was influenced he had to be protected from such influence.It was a pity that the clerk of the Recorders Court should be violently attacked as being responsible for maladministration if all the while the real burden of guilt rested on the shoulders of other parties.vo Will Get Protection.\u201cI will protect you,\u201d Mr.Desrosiers said, \u201cand in future all cases tried in this court will be inscribed in a register, which will be placed before the judge.All the cases will be entered in that register, every day; the judge will call them, and he will try them, and if necessary he will postpone them.There will be no further re- spcnsibility on the clerk of the Recorder's Court in that matter, and there will be no discretion for him to use in such cases, and therefore the clerk of the Recorder\u2019s Court will not in future be influenced by aldermen.\u201d Mr.Forget suggested that there was no book for such a purpose, and Mr.Des- roxiers said he would see to that, and he did in effect, for immediately after the lose of the court he went to the City Comptroller and got a register from him.Mr.Froget said that the records of the court had always been kept in a diary, and that had proved sufficient.Fhe deputy recorder replied that a diary wus suflicient for the clerks\u2019 use in the office, but if the register was not adopted the same chaos would ever reign in the records.\u201cYou must inscribe them in aregister, or 1 will not sit on this bench,\u201d said Mr.Desrosiers.\u201cIn no other court under the sun could there be found such a system.In the Police Court, the Superior Court, in every court, the judge had bis register of ail cases called for trial.In that way the pres-ding judge was in a position to know what cases were inscribed for hearing.A great many actions against \u2018butchers for non-payment of licenses, were take tut in June, July and August or Jast year, and these cases are yot before ihe court.did mot know auything about them.however, ag these had never been placed before him by the clerk.He took it upon himself, or, rather, as he stated himself, he was influenced by aldermen to keep back act'ons and postpone their hearing from week to week.When taken wp this morning, the documents relating to the butchers\u2019 cases were dirty and torn, and looked much like long-forgotten deeds.The oldest of these documents was dated June 25th, 1898, an action of the city of Montreal against Jacob Singer, 13 Cha- hoiXez street, for keeping a private butcher stall without a license.This document was filled with adjournments made by the clerk.Following are some of the actions taken.The first ome is a sample of how its was done :\u2014Alphonse Papineau, 131 Roy street, date of action, July 11, 1898.Postponements To August 15th, to September lot, to October 12th, to October 24th, to ?Se Ith, to February Sth, 1899, to March lst, to March 15th, All these Deputy Recorder Desro iers e | postponements were entered unknown to the Deputy Recorder.Joseph Roussil, 283 Rachel, date of action, July 4th.That Mr.Forget was influenced or that alcermen attempted to do =o will be secn by the following letter written on the inside of Roussil\u2019s summons :\u2014 \u201cMontreal, July 4, 1898.\u201cMr.L.Forget, \u201cClerk of the Recorder\u2019s Court.\u201cDear Sir,\u2014In remanding the case of the city vs.Joseph Rou sil you would obiige me very much.\u201cYours truly, \u201cA .uerman A Few Samples.No one of the following cases ever was caled before Mr.Desrosiers, and yet every one of them has Deen postponed from five to ten times.The reform was needed.Joseph Rochon, 533 Craig, date of action, December 27th, 1898.Wm.Coleman, 712 Dorchester date of action, July 11th, 1868.Henry Wiseman, 63 Quesnel street, dave of action, December 27th, 1898.Thomas Brown, 97 Menai street, date of ac.ion, July 11th, 1898.Pierre W.Picard, 61 St.Mark street, date of action, December 27th, 1898, A NEW CHURCH.Be street, St Paul's Presbyterian Congregation ! at Vankleek Hill Will Put Up a Handsome Building, Lancaster, Ont., March 8\u2014(Special.)\u2014 On Monday St.Paul\u2019s Presbyterian church, Vanddeek Hill, held a congregational meeting to consider whether they woud re- paiar the old church building or erect a new one.The question was thoroughly discussed from many stazdpcints,and finally the congregation reached the decision to build a new church with sitting for at least 600, and take steps at once to com- wence the work.It was deemed unwise to expend any more money on the old building, because it is too small for the requirements of the congregation, which is one of the strongest in the Presbytery cf Glengarry.It has a large membership, which includes a dependent mission known as the \u201cRidge.\u201d St.Paul\u2019s is a successful working church, and besides ministerial support they contributed nearly $1,600 last year to missions and the schemes of the church.The pastor, the Rev.John Me- Leod, is bath capable and popular.His ministry has been sitguiarly fruitful, and being vet in the prime of Lifd, there is 0 doubt in the minds of the people but that the new undertaking will be prosecuted to completion with vigor and thorougn- ness, daiail es U * \u2014-\u2014\u2014\u2014 Presentation to the New Warden.The employes of Thibaudeau Bros.& Co., wholesale dry goods importers, waited upon Mr.Oscar Beauchamp, the newly appointed warden of St.Vincent de Paul Penitentiary, at his residence, City Hal avenue, on Saturday evening, and presented him with a beautiful china tea set as a token of their esteem.The presentation was made by Mr.Jules Dufresne, and Mr.Beauchamp acknowledged the gift in feeling tenms, A very pleasant social evening was

recently put in considerable new machinery, and was expected to prove one of the big Industries of the place, but the company, from lack of capital, has been compelled to offer the property for sale.\u201cMichael Connolly, now here in conneec- tion with the increased Intercolonial facilities, says he will make St.John his headquarters for the next few months so as to superintend his work.A company of local capitalists will go the Legislature at its coming session and endeavor to secure aid for the erection in this city of a central cold storage plant, with depots at four other points in the province, The Government has already promised them a subsidy, but the terms are not entirely satisfactory.P.Timmerman, C.P.R.superintendent here, says surveys have heen made and plans prepared for the erection at West St.John of a large wharf for handling coal shipments exclusively.These are now under consideration by the directors, The expectation is that if the wharf is built the Dominion (foal Company will send its steamers here, and the cars that now brr western freight here for transhipment will be utilized to carry the coal back to Montreal and point en route.It is expected in this way to ship each winter about 200,000 tons of Cape Breton coal to Montreal.A sub-committee to-day decided to recommend the City Council to expropriate a property now under lease to the Eastern Oil Company, recently swallowed, up in the Standard O'] amalgamation.This concern had the exclusive right to store oil in the city limits.The committee's idea is that the city should run the ware- Guse

WEAKENING, ff | May be a Scene at the Scaffold\u2014 Cordelia Viau Bears the Strain Well, RADCLIFFE IN MONTREAL.He Has Arranged for a Posse of Police to Prevent Another Joliette Disgrace.ene A STORY ABOUT = NOOSES,\u201d pre mes Sem Parslow, one of the murderers of Isidore Poirier at St.Canut, and who is to .be hanged on Friday morning next is fast breaking down, and it is a question if the law will be enforced without a scene.Cordelia Viau, Poirier\u2019s widow, is, to use an old phrase, the better man of the two.She will in all probability meet her death without any sign of fear.Radeliffe, the famous hangman, came to Montreal last night, and is staying at St.James\u2019 Hotel.He spent yesterday in St.| Scholastique, taking a look at the con- | demned prisoners, and studying the gaol- yurd and its surroundings.H~ is a strange man, is Radeliffe.He will uot be inter- i viewed.He has no desire for publicity, but in chatting with friends he speaks of ; his \u201cprofession\u201d as calmly and deliberate- tly as does the lawyer, the doctor, the ac | tor, the journalist.| He says: \u201cGood law is essential to the \\ building of nations, and the observance of the law must be enforced.When people comymit crimes, such as that for which Viau and Parslow are to suffer, they cannot expect mercy.Justice is their portion.l am sent to carry out the sentence of the court, and I shall insist in this case, as before, in everything \u2018being done accerding to law, _\u201cL have therefore requested the authorities at Quebec to see that there is no repetition of the scenes enacted at the execution of Tom Nulty.Police from Quebec, \u201cA posse of police is to be sent to the St.Schoiastique prison, and perfect order will be maintained, only those holding credentials showing their right to be present at the execution will be admitted.\u201d This speech was apropos of a reference to the hanging of Nuity at Joliette, when at least 1,000 people climbed by ladders and otherwise to the tops of the gaol yard walls, the roof of the prison and shed roofs, and other commanding positions from which they got a complete view of the execution.\u2018The sheriff and his few men were totally unable to cope with the crowd, and, despite the stirring protesis vf Madcliffe, nothing cou:d be done.: Radcliffe\u2019s deep anger was cvident to these who knaw him, but under the cir- cuimstances it would never have done for him to have allowed anything to disturb his equanimity, and he didn\u2019t.The executioner\u2019s desire to get away from prying crowds is the cause of his I present visit to Montreal.When he reach- .ed St.Scholastique yesterday ne tound that the gallows had not arrived, and what little he had to do was done in half an hour.\u201cI didn\u2019t want brain fever,\u201d he said this morning, \u201cso I came to the city last night.\u201d The gallows to be used are those prepared for Elzear Mann, who was to have been hanged at the Montreal gaol.They were shipped to St.Scholastique by freight vesterday, and will arrive there this afternoon.Nulty gallows, having ten or twelve steps to mount, and then a drop in accordance with the weight of the person to be hanged.Cordelia Viau and Sam Yarslow will drop together.They will be pinioned, and then stood side by side on the single trap, which in case of necessity cou'd hold three.Parslow is a short man, and probably does mot weigh any more than his partner in crime and death.Radcliffe has several close friends in Mecentreal, and he seldom loses an opportunity to visit them.I should judge that he can be a very warm and devoted friend and a very wicked enemy.He never forgets; little incidents that happened nine and ten years ago are recalled by him with almost startling accuracy.Ile

are always poopic who will pay for a bit of it.The Nuity rope was sold in Joliette a dozen times over.A Story About \u201c Nooses.\u201d This collection of nooses was very interesting and doubly so because Radcliffe could tell you a little story connected with each one.After carefully looking at my neck, inside the collar, he would drawling- ly remark : \u201cGood neck, good length.Let's see; here's a noose that would fit you very nicely,\u201d and he would select one from among tha many.To most people this would seem a ghastly joke.But not to Radcliffe.Hanging is as just as other modes of punishment, and is only a part of the world\u2019s daily routine.Therefore, Rad- i cliffe would argue, there is nothing so awful in calmly discussing the things that are and must be, and why weep over them when a smile will do no harm.He will not brook interference either in his social or professional life.Curious persons who seek his company because of what he is are quickly given the cold shoulder.As far as his work is concerned, he must be They are built in the same style as the showed me a \u201cchoice\u201d collection of nooses | left entirely alone; Tie understands it; he knows no failure, and he knows no fear.We were talking of Mrs.Sternaman, who was sentenced tobe hanged at Cayuga for yoisoning her husband.\u201cThat was the omly occasion when I ever dreamed of a prisoner I was to execute,\u201d he said.\u201cSomehow or other, I had a most interesting dream about her, and after that I knew she would not hang.I was convinced beyond all doubt that she was innocent, that she was a victim of circumstances, and when she said to the juige, \u2018Is there no justice in this land?she spoke from her heart.Justice was finally given her, and she went free.\u201cNervous; no, I am never nervous, but T think I once told you how thoroughly upset I was, inwardly, at the sceme at Joliette.I had to control myself, or the result might have been very serious.I hope such at hing will never occur again while I hold this position.\u201d Radcliffe will leave St.Scholastique soon after the execution on Friday, and come to Montreal.Irom here he will start for Port Arthur, where on Friday next he will hanz Prevest, a man convicted of a similar crime to Parslow\u2019s, To a personal friend Ratcliffe this morning said that he journeyed from Montreal yesterday with Madame Hebert, the sister of Cordelia Viau, who had gone to pay the condemned woman a farewell visit, Ide drove from the station in the same vehicle to the Lacoste Hotel and sat down at the same table.He then went to the gaol to superintend ar- rungements in connection with the erection o the scaffold.Upon his return he found that the repors had spread that i he was the dreaded \u2018\u2018Jack Ketch.\u201d The hotel proprietor asked him if it were true that he was the executioner, and upon being told that it was, he promptly ordered him to leave his house.have nothing to do with him.Ratcliffe, unable to find a lodging in th& town, was obliged to return to Montreal.me KIPL HG IMPROVING [rma The Kaiser Appears to be Under the Impression that the Poet is an American, His Recent Message and Berlin Newspaper Items Point to Such a Delusion.New York, March 8\u2014Last night in Rudyard Kipling's apartments at the Hotel Grenoble was the quietest since the author was taken ill.Only the nurse was astir.The patient rested comfortably all night, his sleep being natural, as it has been for several days.Elsie Kipling, the 3-year-old invalid, algo had a comfortable night, and is improving steadily, Mrs, Kipling, accompanied by her sister, Mrs.Dr.Dunham, and Dr.Conland, of Battelboro, Vermont, left the hotel yesterday morning.Shortly after 2 o'clock they returned with flowers in their hands.It was presumed that they had bcen to the funeral of Rudyard Kipling\u2019s daughtez, Josephine.Emperor Williams Message.Berlin, March 8.Fmyperor William's message of sympathy to Mrs.Rudyard Kipling, occasioned by her husband\u2019s serious illness, is commented upon by the press here.The Vossische-Zeitung says: *\u201c This new manifestation of the limperor\u2019s and the recent ones by German Ministers form a pleasant contrast to the crroneous statements that Germany is about to declare a tariff war on the United States.The German nation, on the contrary, is strongly desirous of living in peace with America, economically as well; but hopes for full reciprocity, and that the legitimate interests of Germany will be considered.\u201d The semi-official Post says: \u201cLhe great cordiality with which our monarch honors Mr.Kipling ought to be calculated to remind Americans, after a pefiod of artificial estrangement, which we trust is past, that they will nowhere find readier and more joyful recognition of the brilliant features of their character than from their cousins here, and firstly from our Imperial leader.\u201d The above remarks and Emperor William\u2019s action are apparently based om the theory of His Majesty that Mr.Rudyard Kipling's residence in the United States, the fact that his.wife is an American, and his sympathy for that country make him an American in spirit, if not by birth.London, March 8.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Alfred Austin, the poet-laureate, has telegraphed from Florence to Mr.J.Lockwood Kipling, father of Rudyard Kipling, as follows: * I

Association of DBrit- ish America are in session at the Orange Hall, St.Catherine street.The proceedings began yesterday afternoon, when Or- angemen' from various parts of the province met under the presidency of Mr.William Galbraith, the Grand Master.Representative delegations came from the counties of Argenteuil, Pontiac, Ottawa, Huntingdon, Sherbrooke and Megantic, and elected their committees and appointed a new Grand Master.Twice now for long terms of years Mr.Galbraith has ruled the Order of Orangemen in the province, and his retirement was signalized had been drunk, the chairman proposed the toast of \u2018\u2019Fhe Luyal Orange -\\socia- tion of British America, the Provincial Grand Lodge of Quebec, and the health of the Provincial Grand Master, Brother Galbraith.\u201d Mr.Galbiaith's Remarks.The toast having been drunk with musical honors, Mr.Galbraith responded, prefacing his remarks by observing that :t did lim good ito shake hands wiia old iriends and Lo look into the faces of old friends.Their old friend Col.Stevenson who was with them that evening was not a member of the Associaticn, but they hoped he soon would be.It had been his object to have the tour branches of the evangeiical church here, and he hoped that the Rev.W.T.Graham, representing the Baptist Church, who had nat arrived, would be present during the evening.Personally he felt that he might exclaim: \u2018\u2019Llebabod, my glory 1s departed.\u201d His mantle had fallen on some other person than himself.He thamked the members of the Grand Lodge for the many tokens of their confidence tuat he had received.lle was not going Lo pretend that he and the brethren had always viewed matters in the same light during the long period they had been associated together; but although they might ditfer on minor points there was cue point on which they were agreed, and that was the fundamental underlying principle of the Orange Association.He believed that the principles of the Assocation what represented Orange principles was required in this country.There existed a great deal of misrepresentation and ignorance as to what the principles of Orangeism were.They did not associate just to worry Roman Catholics.They had far higher aims, They espoused those principles because of their inherenat worth and because they were the principles for which their fathers bled.Orangeism had never laid claim to exvclusive P\u2019rotestantism cr exclusive loyalty, but he would say this without fear of comtradiction, that it was always true to Protestant principles and always loyal to the institutions of the country in which it found itself.It was always ready to support the laws of that country.Some people were charitable enough to brand yesterday by a valedictory address and a banquet which he tendered last evening to his brother officers.The address was delivered in the aetfrnoon, and it was a very strong vindication of the existence of the order in the province.Mr.Galbraith traced the origin of Orangeism not to Ireland, but to England\u2014Honeslow Heath\u2014where the soldiers swore their feal- tv to William III.Ie reviewed the history and expounded the principles of the ! Orange movement.A New Grand Master.The very important question of the selection of a successor to Mr.Galbraith was solved by the appointment of Mr.E.Tighe, of the Customs Department in Montreal, to the position.Mr.Tighe bas long been an active worker in the Orange cause.His position in the customs was given him by Sir Mackenzie Bowell when that ardent Orangeman held the portfolio of Customs some nine years ago.Reports were presented showing that matters are prosperous with the Order in the province of Quebec.There has been an increase in membership all round dur- ing tae past vear, the Herald was inform- | ed, but in consequence of incomplete returns figures cannot be given at present.I.was also stated that the most satisfactory report had been received from the Treasurer that had come from him for the last ten vears.Prominence was not given in these reports that this might be due largely to the fact of a Liberal Government in power.The Banquet.The banquet given by Mr.Galbraith to the officers was a successful affair.It took place in the evening in the pretty alain banqueting hall at the Queens Hotel, which was tastefully, but not profusely, decorated for the occasion.A band of music enlivened the proceedings at intervals during the evening, but it could not entirely compensate for the absence of the new Grand Master, whose presence could hardly fail to be missed on such an occasion, and it was positively through some slight oversight, but it was remarked, that although ietters of apology for inability to be present came from various sources, there was no communication of any kind read from him\u2014not even a word of greeting to the brethren who have in such a handsome manner shown their confidence in him.Those Who Were Present.The chair was occupied by Mr.Thomas Gilday, and on his right sat Mr.Galbraith, the retiring grand master.Amongst those present were :\u2014Rev.J.H.Dixon, Rev.Dr.Jackson, Rev.J.R.Dobson, Col.Stevenson, Wm.Galbraith, P.G.M.;

\u201cwhite boyism\u201d and various other \u201cisms.\u201d i Put with these they had no kind of sym- i pathy whatever.This much, however, he |-desived to say.They might be accused of i all the crimes in the calendar, but of dis- | loyalty they could never be accused.\u2018lo the throne and institutions of Great Britain they were ever true.Other Addresses.Addresses also were delivered during the evening by the Rev.Dr.Jackson, Col.Stevenson, the Rev.Canon Dixon, the Rev.J.R.Dobson and others, dealing with the progress of \u2018the principles of Orangeism.The brethren were cautioned against allowing Orangeism to degenerate into mere empty form, and told that in most fundamental principles Romanism and Orangeism agreed, but they differed in one and that was a religion of authority, while Protestantism was a religion of freedom.Orangeism, it was claimed, knows no sovereign but Queen Victoria and owed allegiance to no spiritual head but Jesus Christ.tre 560,000 FIRE IN SOREL, memes One of the Principal Business Blocks Destroyed This Morning.The Brunswick Hotel, Langlois\u2019 Shoe Store and Boivin\u2019's Storehouse are Total Losses.Sorel, March 8.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The most disastrous fire known in the history of Sorel swept part of Queen street early this morning.About 1 o'clock flames were seen coming out of Langlois\u2019 wholesale shoe store in the Brunswick block.An alarm was given, but the firemen were rather slow in getting a good stream of water and the fire made headway.The Brunswick Hotel and Langlois\u2019 wholesale house in the same block are total wrecks, as is also Boivin\u2019s sash and door storehouse.The loss is about $60,000, partly covered by \u2018n- surance.\u2018The Brunswick was built by Jus.Morgan in 1884 and was occupied by Nap.Latraverse, a well-known hotel man of this GUY.grrr THIS EVENING, Her Majesty\u2019 s\u2014* \u2018The Musketeers,\u201d able production.)

whole lot of them, and Chief Hughes, as \u2018Brown Bros.\u201d wants to sell them to the city at a profit of about 2153 per cent.The majority of the members of the Police committee were willing to buy them at the Chief\u2019s figures, but council spoiled the little game, and the whole scheme is exposed.The \u201cfake\u201d tender for the button contract, and the fraudulent cheque that accompanied it are the talk of municipal circles still, and will be until after next council meeting.If the scheme had not been killed in council last Friday the city would huw-e paid $800 for buttons that Chief Hughes purchased in New York nearly two years ago, without authority.According to the invoice of S.A.French, from whom they were purchased, they cost him $255.As \u201c Brown Bros.\u201d he was willing to accept $800 for the lot.Profit enough to pay the expenses of two or three trips to New.York.The tender of Brown Bros.reads as follows: \u201c Montreal, March 1st, 1819.\u201c Chairman and Members of the Police Committee: \u201cIT hereby propose to supply the Mont real Police department with gilt butions, such as enclosed samples, at the following prices: \u201c Large, $9; small,

resemblance is so marked, in fact, that an amateur would say at a glance that both tenders were written by the same hand.The cheque was written by another party.It appears to have been an afterthought, as it did not accompany the tender.The fact that it was written on a French cheque blank of City and District Savings Bank seemed odd when the tender was written in English, and * Brown Bros.\u201d would not be likely to use a Frauch lank.The readiness of the majority of the coms.mittee to accept the tender of \u201c Brown Bros.\u201d altiough it was unaccompaniad hy cheque of deposit.which are always required to make a fender regular, has causes some comment.The tender of Martin & Sons, which was from 25 to 30 per cent.lower than that of \u201cBrown Bros.\u201d was thrown out on a quibble.The proceedings of the committee favored \u201c Brown Bros.\u201d just as nicely as though the majority of the members of the committee knew all about the scheme, which, of course, they have not been accused of.More will be heard of it in council, as many of the aldermen are incensed over the affair.There is a fecling that if Chief Hughes bad gone be- fcre the committee, explained the cireurn- stances under which he purchased them, and offered them at cost price, they would have been taken off his hands.But bogus cheques and fake tenders are no longer good around the

Manufacturers\u2019 Association took place here yesterday afternoon.The ax- sociation had been asked by Mr.Jardine, one of the commissioners having in charge the Canadian exhibit at the Paris Exposition of 1900, to take charge of the getting together of a Canadian furniture exhibit.The opinion of the members was that it would not pay to make a joint exhibit unless the association was prepared to incur the expense of keeping one or two representatives at the exhibition to look aftcr the interests of the trade.No action wus, therefore, taken.\"The Crawford bill for workmen's compensation was then taken up.It was thought that the bill would not be finally passed at the present session, but a resolution was adopted strongly protesting against it.rer MONTREAL TEMPERATURES,

WERE OVERCOME.m\u2014\u2014 The Men Were Got Qut After Some Time in a Serious Condition, and Two May Die.a A DEAL OF COURAGE WAS SHOWN, ne Sarnia, Ont., March 8.\u2014Shortly after 7 a.m.yesterdqpy Archie Galloway, foreman over a gang of men at the Imperial Oil Company\u2019s works here, ordered some of his men to clean out one of the oil tanks in the company\u2019s yards.James McCue proceeded down into the huge tank.When he reached the bottom he was seen by his fellow-employes to fall down.Another workman named John Carter went down to rescue McCue, but no sroner re ch- ed the bottom of the tank than he too was overcome by the tumes of the gas.Joreman Galloway was the next to at tempt the rescue of the men, and he shared the same fate as the preceding two men.Henry Willis then came to the unfortunate men\u2019s rescue, but he, too, was overcome, as was also another employe named William Biimbs.But this time the alarm had been given that some men were being emothered in a still, and a gang of men from the boiler shops were soon on the scene and proceeded to tear the covering from the mammoth still to allow the gas to escape and thereby make it safe for men to descend into the still.Before this work was completed William McCue attempted to go down the ladder, but when half way down he fell, being almost overcome, but managed to climb part way up again, and was pulled out of the still just in the nick of time, and went into a swoom as soon as he reached the ground.After the corering had been torn away, and the gas allowed to escape, other employes decended into the still, and the five men, who were lying in a heap at the bottom of the still, were hoisted to the surface with ropes and were taken to the wax department of the company\u2019s works where all that was possible.was done for the unfortunate men.Doctors, \u2018who were hastily summoned, worked over the poor fellows from that time until late in the afternoon, when their efforts were finally successful in the cases of three of \u201che men, Galloway, Willis and McCue, who had sufficiently recovered to be able to return to their homes.The other two men were still unconscious at the last report.A STRONG FIGHT.At the Outset of the Molineux Case an Objection is Raised.\u2014\u2014 Slaims That the Accused ls Being Unfairly Dealt With by the State Prosecution.New York, March 8.\u2014 When Roland B.Molineux, charged with the murder of Mrs.Kate Adams, was arraigned yesterday, De- fore Judge Blanchard, his counsel, Barlow S.Weeks, commenced an argument for tha inspection of the minutes of the grand jury upon which the indictment was found.Counsel Weeks declared the coroner's irquest had been a farce, said the prisoner had been denied his constitutional right and scored the District-Attorney for his \u201cunderhand methods\u201d of securing an indictment.After District Attorney Gardiner had replied, Judge Blanchard took the papers and reserved decision.; \u201cThere was no need for haste,\u201d sid Dr.Weeks, \u201cin the indictments in this case.Molineux was not given the right to confront his accusers.That was denied him.The district attorney came before : the coroner upon the second examination sat (by the coroner, and told that official that the indictment deprived him of jurisdiction.That is not so, and no one should know the lanv better than the district at- , torney on that point himself.The coroner was advised by the district attorney, and as a result the defendant has not had a chance to perpetuate his evidence.\u201cThe guilty defendant needs no _examination of an indictment to know what crime is charged against him.The innocent man needs this protection that he may learn what the charge is against him.\u201d Mr.Weeks grew emphatie.\u201cThis defendant has an old father, who fought for his country, and beams to-day the scams of war.He is possibly on the road to and in the shadow of death.We have had no rights accorded us to perpeta- ate the evidence that he would give.This is a constitutional right that has been denied the defendant.\u201d Mr.Weeks said that if an indictment could be found on the testimony où handwriting experts no man in the country mvould be safe.He quoted at length decis- sons of the Supreme Court of this and \u2014\u2014ù.LUMBAGO CURED.Mr.David C.Lapierre, of Mons treal Rejoices- Over

follows: Sir,\u2014During a loug series of years I have given to the Liberal-Conse:vaitive party such proofs of fidelity as would jus- tity me in believing at east one thing\u2014 that no Conservative worthy of vhe name, worthy indeed of the name of honest mon \u2014wouid seize on my attitude in the recenu New Brunswick elections as vaild reason for treating me with insult and contumely in the fashion that seems to have coia- ended itself to many L.beral-Conscrva- uve organs.Were.those pureminded, great-souled patriotic journalists to grind ! cut a tune of deeent criticism, or even in condemnation of my course in provinc l polities, I wou.d pass it over, knowing especially how ignorant most of them are as to the real state of affairs in New Brunswick.For the sake of the grand old party I have frequently suifered in silence from blows below the belt aimed at me by those from whom J deserved better things.I do not propose to put up with much more ct that sort of treaument; but ! trust to ! counteract it without having to resort to | unbecoming and wordy warfare with those | newspapers which show neither generosity ' towards me nor carefulness toward their own honor.In the provincial politics of New Brunswick my attitude is now precisely what it has been for many years.In this latest electoral campaiagn Mr.Foster's views dif- : fercd from mine.That is nothing new or strange.We have had different views m ; provincial politics for many a long year, \u2018and yet\u2014wonderful to relate\u2014the newspapers now \u2018howling and eaterwauling about me never even dreamed of denoune- ing my course during these \u201cgreat circles of revolving vers.\u201d Whence have they had illumination?lt seems to me that I can make a proposal that wou'd place the public in a fair position to judge upon their merits\u2014that is all T nsk for\u2014my actions and attitude during these much-mooted New Brunswi>k elections.Let the Montreal Gazette, for instance, act any responsible and recognized leader in the Conservative partw to tawe np its ungencrous and cowardly attack on Senator Poirier and myself in its issue of the 98th ulto.to voice that \u201cCommon crv of ours\u201d as his own, in this city or in its own city of Montreal en anv publie p'at- form, and I will undertake to defend Sem.ator Poirier and myself from that same | platform, and will incidentally

March 8.\u2014The steamer Humboldt, which arrived yesterday from Alaskan points, brings news of a fire which demolished several vf the principal buildings of Dyea, on Lynn Canal.The fire broke out in the Palace Hotel, which was destroyed, together with the Northern Hotel, the Senate saloon, the court house and the office of the Chilkoot Tramway Co.Young's hardware store was badly damaged.The laborers on the White Pass and Yukon Railway have gone on strike, and when the Humboldt left over a thousand of wem had rcached Skagway and were leunging around the town airing their grievances.The cause of the walk-out was the cut recently wade by the railway company of five cents an hour in te men\u2019s wages.They were getting 35 cents an hour, and « few days since this was cut to 30 cents, and instead of working nine hours per day the men were required to work ten hours.Of the 1,400 men employed on the line 1,000 went out.After the strike all the workmen who bad not joined in it were laid off, the company deciding to suspend grading operations until more favorable weather.A Serious Case of Gironic Catarrh Radicaily Cured by Dre Chase's Gatarrh Gur.\u2014 How often vou hear it sald

contractors\u2019 deposit, $69,165; Montreal General Hospital deposit, $20,000 (\u201cEven the hospital,\u201d remarked the hon.gentleman); and other sums deposited with the city in trust, amounting in all to $815,015.The Hon.Mr.De Boucherville\u2014\u201cT do not want to call your word into question; but what vou say is so extraordinary that [ would like to ask some of the city representatives if they deny it.\u201d Mr.Stephens\u2014\u201cThis is their own statement.They have either got this money; or they have spent at.If they have not spent #t, why should we give them authority to borrow?\u201d The Hon.Mr.McCorkill\u2014\u201cBut, if the noney has really been spent, must we not give them some means of replacing it?\u201d Mr.Stephens\u2014\u201cI believe the money would be forthcoming if necessary.\u201d Of Course the Money Was Spent.The Hon.Mr.McCorkill\u2014\u201cHas meney been spent?\u201d Mr.Prafontaine\u2014\u201cOf course.\u201d Mr.MeCorkill\u2014 \u201cAnd vou want to borrow money to replace it?\u201d Mr.Prefontaine\u2014 \u201cYes.\u201d Mr.Stephens was in favor of striking articles 344 and 345 respectively raising the {borrowing power to $27,000,000, with annual increases.Clause 347, he held, providing for special loans for specific purposes, with provision for their repayment, would fulfil all requirements; but a certain section of the City Council found those clauses too restrictive.(He recalled $117,- 000 borrowed to repair the reservoir; the reservoir was now leaking like a sieve, More than that, portions of the wall had Leen sold; it was as if the Government was to sell pieces of the Parliament Buidlings.After a reference to the St.Antoine street and Notre Dame street east schemes, Mr.Stephens declared himself as in favor of taxing to raise necessary sums, rather than borrowing.the Mayor Prefontaine Denies.Mr.Prefontaine asked if Mr.Siephens stated that the eity borrowed $117,000 for the MdTavish reservoir and spent nothing upon it.: Mr.Stephens said he did not say that nothing had been spent on it.Mr.Prefontaine\u2014*\u201cThere was not a cent borrowed.That is a sample of the aceur- acy of your statements.\u201d Mr.Stephens, on consulting the returns, agreed to take $7,000 off; but he insisted.that there had been $110,000 at the disposal of the city a few years ago for repairs to the reservoir, which nad never been spent.Mr.Prefontaine formally denied that the city had been authorized to borrow for the reservoir.Mr.Edwin Hanson, who followed, said, at the outset, that Mr.Stephens had been in error in stating that foreigners and colonials were dbliged to contribute to the British income tax out of their bank dividends.Mr.Stephens \u2014 \u201cI will get you my friend\u2019s receipts.I know that he was charged income tax.\u201d .Mr.Hanson\u2014\u201cThat may be, but he could have had a refund on application.\u201d Mr.Stephens\u2014\u201cI think you are mistak- > en.Mr.John Dunlop, Q.C\u2014\u201cI know personally that a refund is obtainab'e, as one of my clients obtained it recently.\u201d Mr.Stephen=\u2014 \u201cWell, I am surprised.My friend, Mr.Joseph, is a Hebrew, and if he has been paying something for the last thirty years that Le was not obliged to pay, he will not be pleased.\u201d (Laughter.) Mr.Hanson then spoke briefly against the proposed special taxes on dividends, etc.\u201cStop the Leaks,\u201d says Mr.Hanson.\u2018The ITon.Mr.Sharples asked Mr.Hanson what alternative to the special taxes he would propose in the city\u2019s present financial condition.Mr.Hanson\u2014*Stop the leaks,\u201d and he proceaded to show where economies could be effected.The expenses ariring out of lawsuits in particular could be reduced.Mr.Hanson would agree to a small poll- tax on all who did not otherwise contribute to the civic revenue.Mr.Gustave Lamothe, Q.C., rapresent- ing the Real Estate Owners\u2019 Association, spoke in support of Mr.Stephens\u2019 plea against any increase in the burdens on property.He also objected to the payment of aldermen.Men were to be found in plenty at present who were willing to cerve their city gratuitously.If the principle of payment were adopted, the sums in the bill were inadequate.Mr.Max Murdock, president of the Commercial Travellers\u2019 Association, op- pesed the clause providing for a tax of 3 per cent.on all salariee and incomes over $500 on persons doing business or earning their livehhood in the city and paying thereon no tax.Mr.Falconer, advocate, on behalf of certain private clients, objected to the tax on dividends in that it was practically an income tax which would discriminate against certain parties.Why showid there be discrimination between holders of stock and bolders of bonds or mortgages, or investors in private enterprises ?Mr.R.T.Henneker, representing the (Canadian Pacific Railway, objected to the clauses authorizing the city to regulate the speed, ete., of railway trains in the city, as conflicting with Federal legislation.Bonsecours Market Again, Dr.Brodeur, of Montreal, presented a number of petitions from farmers of the district of Montreal, Laprairie, Hochelaga, ete., asking for the enlargement of Bonse- cours market Mr.McCorkill\u2014\u201cHave you any from the taxpayers of Montreal ?\u201d Dr.Brodeur\u2014\u201cOh, yes; here is one from the county of Jacques Cartier,\u201d and ha presented \u201ca bulky-looking _ volume.LL He proceeded to name a few city proprietors, not all of whom were directly interested in the Bonsecours cxtension.Dr.Brodeur spoke at some length on the question, employing every argument which could possibly be brought to bear on the matter.Increased market receipts would compensate for reduced revenue and added burdens.The city had given the Grand Trunk a property worth $80,000 to $100,000.An improved Bonsecours market would mean improved adjoining property.The proprietors interested only asked modest compensation\u2014the assessed value and twenty-five per cent.Dr.Brodeur had mot concluded when the committee took recess.The Private Bills Committee resumed consideration of the Montreal City Biil ghortly after nine o'clock last evening.Dr.Brodeur continued his address in favor of the Bonsecours market scheme, He was followed on the same subject Iw Mr.Toussaint Brosseau, who dwelt upon the unsuitability of the Champ de Mars for a market site, and strongly advocated the giving of the city power to make with any party or company a «contract by which such party or company might undertake to build and operate a \u201cmodern warket.\u201d The Hon.Mr.Pelletier, on behalf of the Bankers\u2019 Association, submitted in writing the amendments that body desired.These comprised the string ot the special taxes on dividends, ete., and the raising of the figure of the business tax, from seven and a half to ten per cent.Ald.Rainville Would Borrow.Ald.Rainville spoke, \u201cto dispel the idea,\u201d which it had been sought to eon- vey, that Montreal had been injured financially by the acts of its municipal administrators.The borrowing limit of fifteen per cent.on the taxable property was a reasonable one, and would not have been exceeded but for the Act of the Legislature somé years ago in imposing upon the city half the cost of the expropriation for the widening of certain streets.Ald.Rainville admitted that the present proportion of the debi to that of the taxable property was excessive; but he believed the plan of returning to the fifteen per cent.limit, provided in the bill was better than that proposed by Mr.Stephens\u2014additional taxation of a special character.He objected to a law which would make it necessary to take a plebiscite of the taxpayers whenever any new loan was needed for permanent works.The Hon.Mr.Chapais\u2014 \"Then vou would keep on borrowing 2» i Ald.Rainville\u2014\u201cYes;

KNOWS OF TWO OFFERS e\u2014 Quebec, March 8.\u2014(Special.)\u2014When the House was called to order this morning Alr.Bickerdike at once rose in his seat and raised a question of privilege respecting Afr.Bouffard\u2019s statement that attempts had been made to intluence him by corrupt means, and that there were members of the House who \u201csold themselves like sheep.\u201d He called upon the Government to take steps to clear the members as a body of the stigma which such an accusation would cast upon them, and to punish he guilty, il any there were.; H T He Hom.Mr- > Leblanc seconded this re- cuest.and insisted that the (Government should demand an enquiry.He did not bilieve that there were members in the House capable of adting as Mr.Bouffard charged.bad Hon.Mr.Stephens thought the as- gertion should not be allowed to pass, and {hat every member shou'd be prepared to stand up and declare that he had received no money for his services.He spoke etrongly on the practice of law partners ot members appearing before committees of the House to promote legislation.The Hon.Mr.Langelier held that the honor of the, House was not at stake as Mr.Stephens anpeared to pretend.The matter concerned purely the member for Montmorency.As for a members law partner appearing before committees of the House to promote legislation, it was perfectly regular.If a judge had a son a lawyer, should the son be debarred from pleading a case before him.The legisla tors, in matters of private legislation, act- edc as judges, and there was no reason to presume that they were more susceptible to influence by motives of natural sympathy than members of the bench.Guilty Members Will be Expelled.Hon.Mr.Marchand was perfectly sure that the House was not corrupt.He was concerted in its good reputation, and was avxious thaï nothing huntful to that repu- tazion should go abroad.He would regard the case as a judge and would not act without proof.In case of proof of corruption he would insist on the expulsion of the offending member.The member for Montmorency had made a serious statement, and it was his duty to name the party who had tried to corrupt him, and also to state any other facts to his know- ledze of corruption practised.» The ma\u2018\u2018ar could then be referred to the committee on privileges.That was the regular course to follow.The Hon.Mr.Pelletier understood that Mri.Bouffard had stated that after having voted in favor of a certain measure he had been offered $100 as honorarium.Tt was unjust to draw thence a conclusion that the House was corrupt.It was unreasonable to protend that the law partner of a member should be debarred from acting as « Parliamentary agent.Should be Proved or Disproved.Mr.Stephens said there were rumors all over about these things and they should stop.If there was no reality in it, it enght to be found out.He did not know of any one in the House who was guilty, hut if there was any one guilty he ought to be denounced.Mr.W.A.Weir said that parliamentary agents ought to be registered, and there ehould be a rule of the House to that et- fect.He knew of two members in fhat | House who had en approached with offers of money for their support of certain schemes.They had refused.If those two members had been approached, others alco must have been approached.At the same time these things bad been done by parliamentary agents.The House ought to do its best to protect itself against such rumors as were afloat in Montreal, based upon statements which were common enough, that the House had been fixed to eunvort certain schemes.Mr.Watts said, if he understood the matter, it was the duty of a member, if tn offer of money was made him, to rise in his seat and denounce his would- be cor- ruptor.The matter then dropped.@\u2014\u2014\u2014 ROYAL VICTORIA LODGE.Installation of Grand Lodge Officers by the District Deputy Grand Master, \u2014 \u2018The regular communication of Royal Vie- tora Lodge,

England.lt was the duky ot the pauent cr gaurcan to take cars of their ciuldren, and they should not feel that they could readily dump them on the pubuc and place them in institutions.{Unfortunately the present state of the law here penalized the child and not the parent, while it was dilteremt in Untario and in England.The president said that one great difli- culty they had experienced was getting at the child without the parent\u2019s presence anil getting at the real truta.With regard to the adoption of children, the society looked upon it with a suspicious eye, as they Lad found more abuse in this connection than in anything else; it was merely putting the child into slavery.He cited a cuse of where a boy had been brought from England by a clergyman, and was found in the hospital here with his arm and face ail torn, and when he had called at the lad\u2019s father\u2019s house in London he found a very comfortable mansion, ana the father lived on the rents of his houses.Children should not be brought there until they were able to earn their own living.Sir Willian Hingston referred io a case in the early fifties when 86 children were found by a cure in Quebec without fathe: or mother.He brought them to church and asked his parishioners to meet him.Every one of those 86 children were adopted by a lfrench-Canadian mother, one oï whom, already with a family of 13 children, was annoyed at not being able to get a third child.And not a single case of abuse \u2018had occurred.Only week before last a well-kmown lawyer of 54 years had told him that he had been one of those ovs.Mrs.Cox said what they wanted was a general expression of opinion in favor nf the movement\u2014the recognition of the S.P.W.C.A., in fact\u2014and a committee appointed to draw up an act to meet the case.The Archbishop might appoint four, the Protestant institutions four, the Wo- 1cen\u2019s Council two, and the P.W.C.A.two members of such committee.An Aot to deal with pauper immigration had just been passed by the Quebec Legislature, A protest had been made against unsuitable ; immigration, and she was glad to say that | the greatest care was taken as to the char- {acter of the children rent out to Canada.They were not waistrels, but the children cf unfortunate parents who were unable ,to provide for them.In regard to the inspection of boarded-out children, the Aot provided for an inspeution four times a year and once again by the Provincial superintendent.The Women Thanked.Mr.D.A.P.Watt moved, seconded by Mr.S.Finley, \u201cthat this committee thanks the deputation of the Montreal Local Women\u2019s Council, for the information they have conveyed, and remits the questions discussed to the favorable consideration of a committee \u2018to be appointed by the president and to report at a future meeting.\u201d This was carried and the deputation of ladies withdrew.At the opening of the meeting the secretary, Mr.G.M.Marshall, presented his :monthly report: There were 45 cases reported.investigated ana dealt wath, involving the weifare of 87 children, three of whom, with one woman, had to be placed in homes.Ten wives reported that their husbands drank heavily, ill-treated them, and did not provide for them and their children; of this number four were warned, and induced to take the pledge, one to pay an alimentary allowance weekly, and four of the worst were arrested and punished.Five cases of assault upon women were reported, and as they were of a sgrious nature all were arrested and pumshed.Four wives complained of drunkenness and general ill-treatment on the part of their husbands; two were warned and promised good behavior in future, one was arrested, and one action for legal separation taken against another.¥ive servants reported non-payment of wages.In four cases it was the servants\u2019 own fault, in the other case he obtained amount due, $9.He also supplied four \u2018children with school books.\u2014THWE\u2014

rousing cheers and .Duncan MaCormick was then called on to propose the toast of the President of the United States.In the course of = very entertaining address, the speaker pointed out the vast resources of the coun- \u2018try and the progress made during the las: fifty vears, which had excited the wonder of the whole civilized world.Then the Anglo-Saxon racial affinities were touche~ upon, the speaker beginning with the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, and briefly referred to the rapid progress made since then.The speaker then waxed eloquent over tha fact that we were all of the same origin, the same flesh and blood.The revolution and the independence of the United States was due to the blundering of a British Parliament which was not sufficiently acquainted with the requirements of the colonists.Mr.McCormick hoped that American sahool books would be mod- ifed so as not to instil a feeling of hatred into the rising generation, for which there was some reason for existence a hundred years ago.Mr.McCormick then traced the history of President MeKinley since he shouldered arms in d'efence of his country, when he was seventeen years of age.Mr.McCormick then drifted into the question of the international conference, then the President\u2019s health was proposed, and the \u201cStar Spangled Banner\u201d reverberated through the room.oo .American Consul General Bittinger in replying said that in proposing the toast of the President, the Caledonia Club had honored the country he happened to represent.He had a country to be proud of, end it was to be hoped that the institutions and sentiments of that country would be transmitted to their children.Americans congratulated themselves that the President of the greatest republic on earth stands side by side with Her Glor- fous Majesty the greatest Queen and FEm- ress in history.I'he present fraternal Pelations had caused universal joy among the civilized world.Te n id a pretty tribute to the Scotch people, whose little territory was too small to give vent to their genius.The toast of the Governor-General was roposed by Ald.Sadler.He acquitted ximself of his task in a most felicitous manner.He pointed out that Govern:rs- General seemed to be natural-born curlers, at least all that ever came to the country were.The secretary, Mr.George Sheppard, then read a list of regrets for hot being rble to be present: Mayor of Montreal, Mr.lex.Murray, secretary of the Branch; T.Christie, Lachute; Mr.McLaren, Buckingham.À most touching letter was read from the chaplain of the club, Rev.Canon

always entertaining.He proposed the health of sister clubs and guests.Mr.A.F.Riddell respomded on Behalf of the Montreal Curling Club.After being informed that he was a daisy, Mr.Rid- dell made a felicitous speech, in which he spoke of the ladies\u2019.branch of the club, and he hoped that the example of having ladies\u2019 clubs would be a good one to follow.He next congratulated the

of friendly matches.Let us, he said, play friendly matches in preference.to matches for trophies, and the sentiment seemed to meet with general approval.Mr.Jas.Rodger responded on behalf of the

fast game of hockey in the North End : Rink tomight, on ice which was damp when play started, and was decidedly wet when it ended.The game proved a tie, each side scoring two goals.The contest | was exciting, but mot as rough as some which have taken place here.The Shamrock forwards, Scanlan, Trihey and Farrell, were all in superb shape, and performed fine work.Halifax played magnificently against the Canadian champions, and got the first goal in 20 minutes after the game began, Crockett being the lucky player.There was no more scoring in the tirst half, but in the second Scanlan and Trihey scored for the Shamrocks, amd Maher got another goal for the Haligon- ians.Though the Shamrocks could Hot increase \u2018their score Bishop, the Crescent goal-keeper had numerous shots to stop.Crockett, one of the Halifax team, had his shoulder knocked out of place, but it was \u2014\u2014 no sae ~ - _\u2014 ! rushes and scor reset as he lay on the ice, and he contimued at the game.IN SHERBROOKE.Sherbrooke, March 7.\u2014The Mets, of Sherbrooke, met the Bishop\u2019s College team on Saturday evening on the skating rink.The attendance was small, and the play, on account of the bad ice, was slow.At no time during the game were the College men dangerous, although they played a stubborn right all through.At half time the game was 8 to 1 in favor of the Mets, and in the second half the latter scored six, and the game closed with 14 to 1 in favor of the Mets.The teams were: Mats.B.C.Rocque.«.Goal.Henry Davis.Pomt.Thomson Snafford.Cover point.Winter Bowen.Forwards.Wuntele,

rink last even- \u2018ng for the championship of the Metropoii- tan League by a score of 7 to 1.ROLLING MILLS GRAND RECORD.The last game of the Senior Hardware League was played last evening in the Arena between Caverhill, Learmunt & Co.and the Montreal Roliing Mills teams, and was won by the Roliing Mills by a score of three straight games, thus giving them a clear title to the championship.The Rolling Mills boys have not only won the champronship, but they have gone through the whole series without having even one game scoved against them.They have scored twenty-two games against the other teams in the league.This is certainly a record to be proud of.The game last evening was not as one-sided as the score would indicate, and the St.Peter strest boys gave them a hard match.The work of Joe Donnelly in goals was simply wonderful, and he stopped shot after shot with his body and stick.The first game was scored by G.James in five minutes, and the first half ended with only one game scored.In the second half George James again did the trick in eleven minutes, and Hough scored the third and laut game in eight minutes.G.James, Law- lor, Hough and O\u2019Dowd played a grand game for the Rolling Mills, while Don nelly, Davidson amd Bremner did the best and most work for the defeated team.The teams were : Rolling Mills., » L.& Co.White .Goal.Donnelly Moore .Point.Bain G.James.Cover

championship of the C.P.R.Hockey League was settled last evening in the Arena rink, when the team from the Car Accountant\u2019s office met and defeated the Auditor of Passenger Receipts\u2019 team in the final match by the close score of 4 games to 3.It was a very odd kind of a match; at times the play was very rag- gel and at others most brilliant.The defeated team certainly seemed to be in hard luck, their own goalkeeper scoring two games against them.The first two games were taken by the Car Accountants in four and seven minutes, the Auditors scored the third and fourth in ten and three minutes.This made the teams even, but one minute later McGee knocked the puck through his own goals, making the score 3 to 2 for Clapperton\u2019s team.Just as the gong was about to ring for the call of time, the Auditors again evened the score after a rush by Dessie 3Jiown.It was decided to play on until either team scored, and the final game was the best of the evening.It lasted twenty minutes, and play was very even thrcughout.First one team would have the advantage and then the other, and it was anybody\u2019s game right up to the finish.The end came in a most unfortunate way for the Auditors.The Car Accountants got the puck and rushed up the ice: one of the opposing team who had a good chance to stop him let him get by, and he shot; the puck struck behind the Auditors\u2019 goala, and it bounded through from the rear.McGee, in his excitement, pulled it in through the flags, instead of sending it down the ice, and the championship was won and lost.For the winning team Alex.Ciapperton played a wonderful game, and he was ably assisted by W.Brown, Hunt and Anderson.For the defeated team, Dessie Brown, E.Mcore, \u2018Scott and Snow did grand work, and it was no fault of theirs that their team met defeat.The teams were as follows :\u2014 Auditors.Car Acocuntants.McGee.v Goal.Hartenstein D.Brown.Point.Clapperton A.Moore.Cover point.\u2026.\u2026.Collins

hockey teams met in the Arena to play off their drawn game in the Metro- iclitan League.At the start of play the Heathers rushe dmatters, so that after three minutes Winn secured the puck and scored the first goal for the Heathers.After this the play became more even, and it was not until within five minutes of half time that the Heathers, after a fine piece of combination, scored their second goal.In the second half the Cedars tried hard to score, but the brilliant rushes of Maclldowie and Bain were of no avail, for the Heathers got in some more of their the third and fourth c ! games, leaving the score four to nothing in their favor.Green, in goal for the Cedars, played a wonderful game, and had it not been for his untiring efforts the score might have been much larger.The two Bains also did good work.For the Heathers the defence played a good game, and it was with difficulty that the Cedar forwards got past them.The Heather forwards played a good combination game, more especially Winn and : Smith.The teams lined up as follows : Heathers.Cedars.Anglin .Goal .Green McGinnis .eve.Point .McGillis R.Vallance .Cover-point .Hughes Winn .ooo.Forward .G.Bain A.Vallance™.és

meet to play off their tie for the junior championship.At the meeting of the Junior Hockey League held last Saturday evening in the Windsor Hotel, the secretary was requested to write to both Cornwall and Brockville and ask for terms.A reply was received from Brockville saying that the league could have the xink for $25, the \u2014 te.SAI.EB.A.an | ED.Meni management to take the gate receeipts.Cornwall was the place that both teams prefer, but no reply has as yet been received from there.The Montreal Juniors are not in a financial posrtion to go to Brockville without the senior team comes to their assistance, and if the match is not played in Cornwall the only thing to be done is to go to Ottawa and play the match there on Friday evening or default, the latter of which the youngsters do not feel Like doing.It is just probable that the seniors may come to their rescue and help them go to Brockville and give them a chance to try for the championship on Montreal ice._ .ee ~ WRESTLING.- ROEBER WINS AGAIN.Boston, Maes., March 7.\u2014Ernest Roeber, the Graceo-Roman wrestling champion, defeated the \u201cTerrible Turk\u201d for the world\u2019s championship at that style to-night, in the Music Hall, winning the only bout, which, under the conditions intervening, was also the matoh.The Turk was a giant in stature as compared with Roeber, and in skill was his opponents equal, apparently.The conditions were to be two falls out of three, strangle hold alone barred, shoulders to be pinned, flying or rolling falls not to count.The match ended somewhat abruptly.Roeber had repeatedly tried to throw the Turk by means of a head or neck hold while the latter was on all fours.He failed each time to move the Turk, and as a rule relinquished the hold and returned to the centre of the mat.After 29 1-2 minutes Roeber had the Turk once again on all fours, the latter with his body arched, and with his face close to the mat.By a quick movement Roeber weakened the extended left arm of the Turk, and bringing it quickly to the rear, started a back hammer lock.Slowly the arm went back in the dangerous position, and the Turk\u2019s manager acknowledged defeat in the fall for his man.Roeber, however, refused to accept the fall, and retained the lock as was his privilege To save his man\u2019s arm from being broken the Turk\u2019s man- aser gave up th.match.The Turk\u2019s manager explained to the audience that Graceo-Roman was not the Turk\u2019s advantage, and forthwith challenged Roeber to a match for $1,500 at catch-as-catch-can.Roeber declined to accept at this time, OWing to contract engagements.+ BOWLING.THE POINTS WON.The Points and Royals met in the intermediate city bowling league on Monday.The homesters succeeded in making 2,725, thus the

commonly called heartburn or sour stomach, is a form of indigestion resulting from fermentation of the food.The stomach being too weak to digest it, the food remains until fermentation begins, filling the stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is often present.This condition soon becomes chromic and being an everyday occurrence is given but little attention.Because dyspepsia is not immediately fatal, many people do nothing for the trouble.Within a recent period a remedy has been discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles.It is known as Stuart\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets, and is becoming rapidly used and prescribed as a radical cure for every form of dys- psia.Parts Dyspepsia Tablets have been placed before the public and are sold by all druggists for 50 cents per package.It is prepared by the F.A.Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich., and while it promptly and effectually restores a vigorous digestion, at the same time is perfectly harmless and will not injure the most delicate stomach, but on the contrary, by giving perfect digestion, strengthens the stomach, improves the appetite and makes life worth living.Send for free book on

Commodore Morgan, it is evident that the vessel will be finished well within contract time.Eighteen of the steel central frames are in position.The underbody of the new boat will be :omewhat shallower than in the old De- ferder.The length of the bronze keel- plate, which for convenience was cast in three sections, is between twenty-eight anc thirty feet, or from five to seven feet shorter than this plate in the Defender, Across the top it is the same width, namely, twenty inches, this (being also the width of the top of the lead mine.This casting, of about ninety tons, is flat-sided, and not \u2018bulbed, as in the De fender.Its sides slope outward as they ascend, from twenty inches at the top to slightly more than thirty-six inches at the bottom, like the sides of a coffin.The bottom of

the stem will be a casting or not has nov yet been discussed, but the Defend- cr\u2019s stem was only a steel angle, four inches by four inches, and from one-guar- ter to three-eighthts of an inch thick.\"This formed the stem, and bound the ends of the shell plating with double-rivetting, thcugh it was nearly always said that the Defender had a bronze casting for a stem, and it was partly on account the possible weakness in this region that ghe was not considered by some yachts men to be well adapted for the heavy swell of an ocean passage.The plating of the new boat will be on the raised and sunken system, secured to the frames by a single row of rivets, all but straps to be double riveted.Thus the strake which covers the keelplate will lap the edges of the strake above it, which in its turn ; will underly the edges of the strake next | higher.Ç Up to the water line the plating will be of Tobin bronze, seven-fortieths of an irch thick, and above the water line the plating will be of nickel steel, five-for- tieths of an inch thick.The yacht will have two light nickel steel bulkheads, one ont frame 12, and one on frame 60, at each of which points the frames will be double.Her over-all length will be 128 feet, with a beam slightly more than 24 feet, and a draught of water of from 19.6 to 20 feet.She will thus be one foot wider, five or six feet longer over all, and one foot longer on the water line than the Defender, with a larger sail plan, and a slightly smaller displacement.The rudder will be hung on the cast bronze stern- post, and will reach to the bottom of the ead.; \u2018The so called fin-keel of this boat rÉses in almost straight lines from the lower outer edges of the lead to where the frames curve outward toward the bilges; and, while some of the Defender's depth of body has been cut away, there has not been such a flattening of the floor as would forcibly remind one of the Cartoon or any of the latest twenty-footers.In other words, she is in her underbody a slightly improved Defender, but is by no means a close follower of those ultra flat ard shallow types which have shown the best speed in smaller classes, and there is, it is thought, a chance for Fife to produce a faster boat by adhering more closely to the general shape of hull shown in.the Cartoon.In the new defending craft the shape of the fastest known model has not been followed.\u2014 THE RING, BIDS FOR THE BIG MIN\u2019S BOUT.New York, March 8.\u2014Time was called at twelve o'clock last night on the Athletic clubs bidding for the twenty-five round match between

St.George Club song; Slr.Savard, the Montagnard song: W.H.Davis, the \u201cHolly Boys are Out Tonight,\u201d and President Martel, the Canadien Club song.Mr, J.Stevenson Brown recited one of Dr.Drummond\u2019s poems.President A.Lamalice is to be congratulated on the fine evening his club had for their tramp, in fact the best that any of the snowshoe : clubs have had this season.There is no doubt but that the good old sport of snowshoeing has received a great boom this winter, and next seasom will, we think, find snowshoe iramping as popular as it was a few years

WHEAT IF MANITOBK There is Scme Anxiety About the Crop's Keeping Quality, \u2014me There May be a Considerable Loss, Which will Fall Upon the Farming Community., À great deal of uneasiness is being felt in regard to the keeping quality of Lue wheat crop after warm weather sets in,\u201d g1ys the \\Vinnipeg Commercial.\u2018While this feeling is not so noticeable \u2018outside of the grain trade and banking circies, yet it is a considerabie factor in the general situation.Some openly express itheir cenn- viction that there will be a considerable less which will fall upon the farmers and dealers, on account of wheat going off condition.As for the farmers, they have had ample time ito sell their grain, and they have been warned over and over again ra- garding the risk of holding any grain not thoroughly dry.The dealers, who are the largest holders of wheat, have become alarmed at the large quantity that has been declared tough or damp by the inspectors recently.Considerable wheat that was taken from the farmers for No.1 or 2 hard, has been classed \u201ctough,\u201d which means slightly damp, by thes inspectors.This causes holders to fear for the keeping quality of their holdings.There is a large quantity of tough and damp wheat awaiting opportunity to be put through the drying machines at Port Anthur, and if anv- thing should happen this plant to stop its working, it would mean the loss of this i wheat, besides also the new wheat that is continually moving eastward to be dried.Some even express their fear as to the keeping quality of ths wheat that has been dried.Bankers interested in the grain trade naturally feel a little nervous as to the nuteome.\u201cThe cold weather this week has had a quieting influence on several branches of trade, but there is a fair volume of business for the season.\u201d MONTREAL STOCKS.Mar.8 Mar.7.DESCRIPTION, >13|>/e © x jd 5 1P1R 5 Canadian Pacific Railway.{ 894] 895) 8093] 801 DS SA.2.000 000enenceeee 4135| 4| 3
