and therefore ask that measures be taken whereby the said taxes shell be more equally distributed throughout the Province of Quebec, and if you cannot see your way clear to do this, we, as c¢lectors of Montreal, request you to send in your resignation us a member of Parliament of the said Province of Quebec, and as representing the western district of Montreal in particular :\u2014 F.E.Grafton, W.Drysdale, R.J.Tooke, J.B.Lanctot, C.A Workman, J.Huot, Jas.Baylis, C.F.Dawson, G.W.Clarke, E.W.Botterill, H.Sanders, A.W.Grant, Henry Birks, R.Sharpley, Geo.W.Robinson, Jos.Fortier, A.Michaels, À.Morris, À.M.Featherston, W.J.Walker, T.Mor- .rison, Chas.Alexander, N.E.Hamilton, R.Hemsley, A.J.Slater, J.Eve- leigh.The list was fllled in about twenty minutes.We had to stop as the stores closed at six o'clock.You will ses that with few exceptions the recruits are of merchants in St.James street, between McGill and St.Peter streets, This will give you an idea of the feeling here and what the result of a canvass of your constituents would be.H.Sanders.ms \u201cPUBLIC GRIEVANCES.: (To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u201d) Sir, \u2014Is it not about time that postal reform should be demanded in the mat- It is nothing short \u2014to extort two cents for the delivery of a letter possibly addressed to your next door neighbor, which for many reasons you do- not wish to deliver persongsls.\" \u2018This imposition falls, as upon those least able to afford it, vix., the unemployed class or those unable to employ messengers or servants to deliver them.Instead of.charging two cents for the delivery of such letters the half- cent stamp should suffice if the post- office is to be an accommodation to the pubMe.The price of boxes in the post- office is also exorbitantly high.Legislation in this direction would be worthy the attention of our city members and thus confer a benefit upon those most needing the reductions mentioned.POSTAL REFORM.\u2014\u2014 ST.LAWRENCE WARD.A meeting of influential voters of St.Lawrence Ward was held in the Mechanics\u2019 Institute last night to consider thé suggestions of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to choose the best men for sidermanic honors.Mr.H.L.Putnam presided and Mr.Cowley ucted as sécretary.The committee appointed at the previous meeting\u2014Messrs.R.Campbell Nelles, Joseph Fortier and À O.Daw- son\u2014made their report.They hall interviewed Mr.R.Wilson Smith, the present alderman, and Mr.W.E, Doran, architect.These two gentlemen had consented io accept nomination.If a third alderman were to be elected they would suggest Mr.E.Goff-Penny who they thought might be prevailed upon to accept.The meeting confirmed the action of the committee.The nominations were ratified and requisition papers given out for circulation.pe \u2018SIMPLY STUPENDOUS! CITIZENS CALL FOR CASH, AND WANT LOTS oF IT.Ald.Clendinneng says that the claims already before the city from merchants on Notre Dame street east, due to the failure on the city\u2019s part to pave after widening are simply stupendous.There are seventy-five claims in all.Five of -them total up $400,000.He considers the question too large to be settled by a civic committee and recommends the appointment of a commission to take sworn evidence.c\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NOT THE DAY TO GATHER ASHES.Citizens got badly mixed over the holiday, according to the scavenging offi- clals.A great many considered Tues day to be Monday, so put out their barrels on Tuesday in districts where they should have put them out on the day previous.The mistakes were so numerous that it was found necessary to send sanitary police around and notify householders to take the barrels in, it being found impossible to accomplish the extra work.\u2014\u2014\u2014_ VAUDREUIL ELECTION.Judges Gill and Loranger \u2018left this morning for Vaudreuil to sit in the case of the contested election of Mr.Har- \u2018wood.It appeared understood that the cæse would come up \u201cpro forma\u2019 only, as it was \u2018the intention to withdraw the contestation._\u2014_\u2014\u2014 rennes * WIDOWERS AND WIDOWS.Statistics show that, in the diocese of Valleyfleld, there are 501 widowers and 1.590 widomws.RUMORED ITALIAN LOAN.(Special to the \u2018Witness.\u2019) London, Dec.27.\u2014In this city, in Paris and in Berlin, Italian bonds have been depressed owing to rumors that several large Italian banks are unable to carry over their holdings.It is reported, however, that Ttaly is negotiating a loan of 600,000,000 Mre in Germany.In this city Italy's reported new loan is not believed to be in course of negotiation in Germany or eleewhere.\u2014_\u2014 LEGISLATIVE NOTES.{Special to the \u2018Witness.\") In the Public Accounts Committee, the Hon.Mr.McIntosh brought down a statement of the expenses of the Hon.Senator to the World\u2019s Fair.The report was adopted.An attempt was made to examine Ber- of \u201cthe ~ Montieal ger, th Court House improvements, in connection therewith, but he was too iH to give evidence, a certificate to this effect from Dr.Brodeur being read.In the Private Bills Committee of the Council the question of the distribution of the assessments for the widening of Notre Dame street east was taken en delibere.Mr.Lussier stated to a newspaper vote with the Government because when the Speaker compelled him to take his seat out of order a few days ago on the asylum debate he was not supported by the leader of the Opposition.A large number of Montreal bills will be before the Private Bills Committee ;

Longford, Ireland, and one of the executive committee of the Irish Parliamentary representation, led by Mr.Justin McCarthy, is on a brief visit to this country.He has been with Dr.Addis Emmett, at No.79 Madison avenue, but is now spending the holidays with his family at Toronto.Mr.Blake has recently spoken very confidently of the situation of the home rule question.He sald that a bill dealing with the Irish evicted tenantry would be introduced at the next session of Parliament.He expected that when geveral other measures now pending pass the House, a large home rule majority would be returned to support the Home Rule bill.Dr.Bmmett declared that the American Federation would not get up a fund for the evicted tenants.\u2018Tt takes $160,000 a year to support the Parliamentary party,\u201d sald he.\u2018We shall collect all we can for them, and if there is any remaining, it will be given for the evicted.\u201d Dr.Emmett hopes to be able to induce Mr.Blake to speak before his return at a meeting in this city.on behalf of the interests of the Federation.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014 BURGLARS AT LACHINE.Lachine, Que., Dec.27.\u2014On Christmas evening thieves burglarized Blancherd & Bolduc's grocery shop.They broke in the outside door and burst the paid- lock on the inside door between the two back stairs.They were evidently after money only as they touched none of the stock but ed strafghtway to the safe, which contained about two hundred dollars.They drilled three holes, each about two inches square, in the safe door and with an iron bar attempted to forge it open but were, fortunately for the grocers, unsuccessful, and had to leave without any booty.Mr, O.P.Roberts, living upstairs, having heard suspicious noises below, came down to investigate but found \u2018the front daor so securely locked and barred by the burglars with temporary bars, etc.that they escaped before he could reach the back door to intercept them.They were thoughtful enough to place bags on the snow before stepping on it to avoid showing footprints but in the hurried departure neglected to pick them up.\u2014 \u2014\u2014 tf TORONTO MAYORALTY CONTEST

CISED\u2014A HIT AT BOYCOTTING.THE BLECTION OF OFFICERS.The regular meeting of the Trades and Tabor Council took place last Friady in th-dr hall oz Notre Dame street.After tr ¢ minutes had been read and confirm- +t, credentials were received and dele- rates admitted from the following or- y nizations: Hochelaga Asesmbly, T.l'ibreuil, A.Charette and P.Gordon; A.J Marie Assembly, J.C.Laverdure.i.» nomination of officers was the next o-ler taken up with the following result: president, T.Dubreuil, elected by ac- c.amation; for vice-president, P.J.Ryan and G.H.Lenoix; English recording s-cretary, A.Blondin, elected by acclamation; for French recording secretary, A.Campeau and J.A.Renaud; financial s.cretary, A.Blondni, elected by acclamation; for treasurer, J.Brennan and J.Beland: for corresponding secretary, A.Charette, M.Hoag and A.Campeau; tor sergeant-at-arms, P.J.Ryan, J.A.Bodies, U.Lafontaine, W.Darlington, Mr Paquette, J.McGrath and Mr.Hol- 1and; tor credential committee, J.Malone, M.Larkin, J.A.Renaud, U.Lafontaine, J.Beland, P.Drolet, G.Lapointe and John Brennan; legislative comndttee, J.Brennan, A.Campeau, J.C.Cha ole, W, Darlington, R.Seal, J.Mc- iran, G.M.Lenoix and Mr.Lesser; nxan:Zation committee, J.Beland, J.À.Funaud, À.Campeau, B.Rodier, M.Bon- «nfant, A, Charette, J.A.Rodier, O.Lessard and W.Darlington.The report of the legislative committee was then read.It was ordered to be placed on file and copies of the same to be gent to every organization connected with the Council.The report of the \u2018Property Qualification\u2019 Committee was the next business disposed of.A lengthy discussion took p'ace, which was participated in by Megara.Darlington, Dechene, Kerrigan, Brennan and Renaud.Mr.Brennan made the speech of the evening on the result of the delegation to Quebec.He dwelt at length on the necessity of con- cæntrating their forces on the property qualification issue.It became absolutely necessary for them to set everything else mside and fight this question 0 the end.There should be no mincing of matters at all.It was a fact that they had to fight that portion of the property owners in this city known as the Real Estate Owners Association, and it would be well to call the attention of the Council to what those people were.They were a very small proportion of the proprietors of this city, he thought, not more than four or five percent, and he might unhesttatingly say that they were what the late Sir John Abbott termed sweaters.Let them look down the list of names and what would they find ?They would find that the assoctdation was composed of men who demanded the highest possible rent and would make no repairs.to the miserable novels that unfortunate people were forced to live in.That was the class nf men they had to deal with.There was only one way to fight them and that was by striking at their pockets.There should be a committee appointed immediately which would deal with those people in a very forcible way.If his hearers could do nothing in the way of teaching these people common sense, they could at least reduce their bank account.Houses were worthless to the landlords if they had no tenants.Mr.L.Z.Boudreau retired from the presidency after occupying that position ably for several years.The election of offcers will take place at the next meet- ng.eee CONSERVATIVES MEET.THE HON.MR.OUIMET MAKES AN ADDRESS.At a speolal meeting of the Club Conservateur, held last evening, in his honor, the Hon.J.A.Ouimet addressed a number of prominent Conservatives, among whom were Solicitor-General Curran, the Hon.Mr.Tasse, Messrs.Bergeron, M:P., Jeannotte, M.P., Donald MacMaster.Richard White, J.D.Rolland, Aldermen Clendinneng, Stevenson, and Germain, Sir Donald Smith and others, Mr.Ouimet reviewed shortly the history of the Conservative party.To it the people of Canada owed everything that made Canadians proud of their country.Ha counselled respect for the constitution as it stood; once the principle of revision was let in there would be no end until the privileges of the French-Canadians were entirely wiped out.Dealing with the Manitoba school question at some length, the speaker sald he left it to his countrymen to purge the parties on this question on their respective: records.In 1870 the Conservatives enacted the law intended to protect the separate school system, and the party had supported that system for twenty years.Messrs.Blake and Laurier had been the first to propose the submission of the legality of the Greenway bill to the courts.In that submission the Catholics had not been successful.Facts had recintly been brought to light, which, as a professional man, he had no hesitation in saying would have greatly strengthened the case for the Catholics, had they been laid before the Privy Council, and the issue might have been different.He had no doubt that, this time, the Hon.Mr.Curran had seen to it that the record for the Catholics was complete, and they might still have hope to win.After the expounding of the law by the highest authorities in the empire, he had no doubt that the whole population would submit.Tolerance was always the first plank of the Conservative programme.In politics a question was never definitely settled, whatever the decision of the courts.If the Catholics of Manitoba Jlid their duty, the Separate schools might be re-established.If the Liberals came to power, they would shelve the question, as they had done in the case of the New Brunswick schools.The Conservatives were, from principle, in favor of separate schools.The Liberals, \u2018n the contrary, preached non-sectari- anism in education.\"is concluded by predicting the suc- ress of the Conservative party on the strength of its well-tried principles.Short addresses were also delivered by Mesers.Curran and Tasse and Berge- Eune PRESENTATION.On Saturday afternoon, Mr.Joseph Brunet, the chief clerk in the foreign passenger department of the Grand Trunk Audit Office, before leaving the.office was made the recipient of a very handsome piano lamp and shade, from the clerks in his department.Mr.John Croston, in a few well chosen sentences made the presentation, ailud- ing to Mr.Brunet's long connection with the Grand Trunk and congratulating him upon his appointment as chief clerk of the department.After wishing him and Mrs.Brunet and family all the happiness of the Christmas season, he asked him to accept the lamp not for its int'insic value but as a token of the high esteem in which he was held by the clerks over whom he presides.Mr.Brunet, who was visibly affected at this unexpected mark of respect, briefly replied, thanking the clerks for their -kind- ness and expressing a wish that the happy relations at present existing between the chief and staff of the foreign passenger department might long continue.Mrs.Thornton, head clerk of the la- diés\u2019 department of the same office, was also the recipient of a beautiful rattan rocking chair as a token of the very high esteem placed in her by the ladles of that department.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 APPALLING FIGURES.THE RECORD OF FINANCIAL LOSSES IN THE UNITED STATES.x A MEMORABLE YEAR IN RAILWAY AND COMMERCIAL CIRCLES\u2014MILLIONS LOST, The New York \u2018Press\u2019 publishes an interesting article on the logses of 1893, and the railway losses in particular.It says: \u2014 This year will be forever memorable as a year unprecedented in the number and magnitude of railway and commercial bankruptcies.Eighteen hundred and ninety-three ought to stand im American economic history as the year 1792 still stands in French political history.It ought to bring a revolution In methods of railway financiering, and it ought to end, for a generation at least, fraud and false pretence in politica The evil wrought by these has been great enough to cause permanent revolution.The railway bankruptcies of 1892 involve 73 companies, 31,878 miles of rall- way, and §1,611,284,000 in bonds and stocks.The \u2018Press\u2019 has compiled these figures from gareful tables prepared by the \u2018Railway Age,\u2019 an acknowledged authority.We have added the Atchison failure of Saturday.The aggregate of these figures, involving the bankruptcy of nearly one-fifth of all the railways in the country, is too large to be comprehended at a glance.It is difficult to realize that the stocks and bonds involved have & par value of more than twice the whole national debt of the United States.Unwieldy floating debts, shrinking credit, end steadily falling freight rates (which decline in rates has been universal throughout the country for fourteen years) have brought many comrenies to ruin in the past ten years, but this year\u2019s disasters have capped the climax, as the following comparison shows: \u2014 Stoeks and Mileage.onde.11,088 $714,755,000 8,286 885.460, 1,799 70.348,000 1,048 90,818,000 3.210

companles to grief, like the Reading and the Northern Pacific failures, but the majority of the rallways are honestly and capably managed.The cause of the majority of the failures lies deeper than the faults of railway officers.A cure Is the great problem of the near future.More than half of these $3,705,819,000 in stocks and bonds have sold at or near par within the past ten years.Ten cents on the dollar is probably too high a price to put on the whole capital stock of these companies now.The-mere shrinkage here represented involves an amount of loss approximate to the valuation of the entire city of New York, as shown by the assessors\u2019 books.\u2019 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 JUDGE ARCHIBALD SWORN IN.Mr.J.S.Archibald, the newly-ap- pointed judge of the Superior Court, was sworn in

superannuated for some years past, while at dinner at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr.A.J.Houghton, of 127 Park avenue, took suddenly ill on Christmas day, and died at two o'clock on Tuesday morning.He had been in good spirits, and had been at Communion in St.Martin\u2019s Church on Christmas morning, had even turned over the music for his wife as she played the plano during the evening\u2019's enjoyment.The event, needless to add, caused general sadness.The funeral will take place to-morrow, at 2.30 p.m., from deceased's late résidence, 562 Cadieux street, to St.Martin's

which has never been seen In Montreal.It has the appearance of white satin strewed with bunches of small roses.It is a part of a lot of six made out of this peculiar wood, five of which were sold before they were finished.Lovers of the beautiful should not fail to see Ît as this wood is very rare and could not be procured for a long while at any price.This piano has been manufactured by Mr.L.E.N.Pratte at his factory in Montreal, and as to its musical qualities, it is only necessary to mention that it is im every respect like the other pianos of the same make recently sold to several of our best musicians.The fifth of this lot was sold and shipped last week to Mr.L.Ringuette, organist to the Cathedral at St.Hyacinthe.27 The Turkish Bath Department of the Turkish Bath Hotel, St_

THE COPPERHEAD.BY HAROLD FREDERIC.\u2014 CHAPTER IV.ANTIETAM.On all the other farms roundabout, this mid-August was a4 slack season.The hired men and boys did a little early fruit-picking, a little berrying, a little stone-drawing, but for (he most part they could be seon idling about the : woods or along the river down below Juno Mis, with gun or tish-pole.Only upon ithe one farm whose turn It was that week w be visited by the itinerant threghing-machine, was any special activity visible.It was well known, however, that we were not tu get ihe threshing machine at all.How It was managed, I never understood.Perhaps the other farmers combined in some way lo over-awe ar persuade the owners of the machine into refusing it to Abner Beech.More likely he scented the chance of a refusal and was too proud to put himself in its way by ask.ng.At all events, we three, Abner, Hurley and I\u2014had to manage the threshing ourselves, on the matched wood floor of the carriage barn.All the fishing 1 did that year was in the prolific but unsubstantial waters of dreamiand.1 did not work much, it is true, with the flail, but I lived all day in an atmosphere checked with dust and chaff, my ears deatened with the ceaseless whack! whack! of the hard wood clubs, br.nging on fresh shocks of grain, and acting as general helper.By toiling late and early we got this task out of \u2018the way just when the corn was ready to cut.This great job taxed all the energ.es of the two men, the one cutting, the other stacking, as they went.My own share of the labor was to dig the potatoes and pick the eating- apples\u2014a quite portentous enough undertaking for a lad of twelve.All this kept me very much to myself.There was no chance io talk during the day, and at night I was glad to drag my tired limbs off to bed before ithe girls had fairly cieared the supper things away.A weekly newspaper\u2014\u2018'The World'\u2014came regularly to the post-office at the Corners for us, but we were so over-worked that often it lay there for weeks at a time, and even when someone went after it, nobody but Abner cared to read it.So far as I know no word ever came from Jeff.His name was never men- \u2018tioned among us.It was now past the middle of September.Except for the fall ploughing on fields that were to be put to grass under the grain in the spr.ng\u2014which would come much later\u2014the getting in of the root crops, and the husking, our season\u2019s labors were pretty well behind us.The women folk had toiled like slaves as well, taking almost all the chores about \u2018the cattle-barns off our shoulders, and carrying on the butter-making without bothering us.Now that a good many cows were drying up, it was their Niagara Falls Forty Minutes Away.turn to take things easy, too.But the girls, Instead of beinz glad of this began to borrow unhappiness over the certainty that there would be no husking- bees on the Beech farm.One heard no other subject discussed now, as we sat of a night in the kitchen.Even when we foregathered in the living-room instead, the Babcock and the Underwood girl talked in ostentatdously low tones of the hardshép of missing such opportunities for getting beaux, and having fun.They recalled to each other, with tones of longmg, this and that \u2018husking-bee of other years\u2014 now one held of a moonlight night in the field itself, where the young men puiled the stacks down and dragged them to where the girls sat in a ring on big pumpkins, and merriment, songs, and chorused laughter chased the happy hours along; now of a bee held in the late wintry weather, where the men went off to the barn themselves and husked \u2018till they were tired, and then with warning whoops came back to where the girls were waiting for them in the warm, hospitable farm-house, and the frolic began, with cider and apples and pumpkin-pies, and old Lem Horn- beck's fddie tc lead the dancing.Alas! they shook their empty heads and mourned, \u2018there would be no more of these delizhtiul times! Nothing definite was ever said as to the reason for our ostracism from the sports and gotial enjoyments of the season.There was no need for that.We all knew too well that it was Abner Beech\u2019s politics which made us outcasts, but even these two complaining girls did not venture to say so in his \u2018hearing.Their talk, however, grew at last so persistently querulous that \u2018M\u2019rye\u2019 bluntly told them one night to \u2018shut up about nusking-bees,\u201d following them out into the kitchen for that purpose, and speaking with unaccustomed acerbity.Thereafter we heard no more of \u2018their grumbling, but in a week or two \u2018Till\u2019 Bab- cock left her home over on the Dutch Road, and began circulating the report that we prayed every might for the success of Jeff Davis.It was on a day in \u2018the latter half of September, perhaps the 20th or 2lgt\u2014as nearly as I am able ro make out from the records now\u2014that Hurley and 1 started off with a double team end our big box-waggon, just after breakfast, on a long day's journey.We were taking a heavy load of potatoes in io market at Octavius, \u2018twelve miles distant; thence we were to drive out an additional three miles to a cooper-shop and bring back as many butter-firkins as we could stack up behind us, not to mention a lot of groceries of which \u2018M'rye\u2019 gave me a list.It was a warm, sweet aired, hazy autumn day, with a dusky red sun sauntering idly about in the sky, too indolent to cast more \u2018than the dimmest and most casual suggestion of a shadow for any- \u2018hing or anybody.The Irishman sat round-backed and contented in the very High seat overhanging the horses, his elbows on his knees, and a little black pipe turned upside down in his mouth.He would suck satisfiledly at this for hours afiter the fire had gone out, until my patience exhausted.I begged him to light it again.He seemed aimo=st never to put any new towacco into his pipe, and to this day it remains a twin mystery to me why its contents meither burned themseives to nothing nor fell out We talked a good deal, in a desultory 0 fashion, as the team piud)ed their way Into Oc.avlus.Hurley, 1,14 ne.)

DECEMBER 27.1893.\u2014 THE COUGHLIN TRIAL.MRS.FOY AGAIN ON THE STAND.tester BOME SENSATIONAL BVIDENCE \u2014 TELL TALR LETTERS READ IN COURT.Chicago, Dec.26.\u2014The second trial of Daniel Coughlin, for the murder of Dr.nin, one of the most sensational criminal events in American history, which has been going on for some time, was resumed after the Christmas recess to-day.Mrs.Andrew Foy, whose husband was implicated in the murder, was under cross-examination by ex-Judge Wing.The defence played its trump card at the conclusi\u2018 n of Attorney Wing's cross- examination on the evidence Mrs.Foy gave direct.The climax was much of a surprise to the witness and the prosecuting lawyers.Both became excited for a time.\u2018Now I will ask you what promises have been made you by the prosecution for testifying in this case, Mrs.Foy?was Attorney Wing's opening question.\u2018J swear before God and man that they have promised me nothing if I dropped dead this minute.\u2019 \u2018Do you love your husband?\u201d \u2018Not now.\u2019 , \u2018When did you cease to love him?Not since he tried to keep me from going on the stand three weeks ago.\u2019 \u2018Have you not been living with Andrew Foy as your husband since you came into this Court to testify ?\u2018I have not seen my hushand this wi our house has been full of policemen since you first came here, has it not?\u2018No: only one policeman came to my house to see if I was all right.\u201d \u2018Have you not been living with your husband within the last week?\u2018Yes.\u201d In correcting herselr suddenly, the wwttness exclaimed in an excited nner: No, no, no, you cannot catch me that way., \u2018 you like this defendant?I have no reason to like him.\" \u2018Didn't you send your regards to him ail?in Jad.but that was to fool him; I did not mean it.\u2018Are you fooling now?.\u2018No.I am very much in earnest.\u2019 \u2018Have you no hope or expectation of reward for telling this story?\u2018I don\u2019t know about that.\u2019 \u2018Oh! you don\u2019t know as to that, eh?\u2018I did not mean it in the way you insinuated.\u2019 \u2018Didn\u2019t you accuse your husband of being the Anarchist who threw the Hay market bomb?\u2018Indeed, I did not\u2019 \u2018Why didn't you appear in Court at the first trial to testify for the prosecution?\u2018I was sick.\u2019 \u201cYou were not too sick to go out of doors?\u2019 \u2018No: I only went to church; 1 was under the doctor's care.\u2019 \u2018Did you not tell George A.Bingley, a detective attached to the office of States Attorney Longenecker when he called on yon in 1889, that you never talked about this case with any onej who was not supposed to be connected with the murder, except your husband?\u2018He never asked me anything about the Cronin case.\u2019 \u2018Did you not tell that Alex.Sullivan's name was never mentioned to you by anyone suspected of having anything to do with this case?\u2018I never did.I expect a lot of bad things will be said about me.\u2019 A sensational incident happened at this stage of the trial, and interrupted the examination.Mrs.Foy was being questioned about money inducements, and wanted to give her answer in a way not acceptable to the defence.\u2018Let her answer,\u2019 sald Attorney Bottom and simultaneously came the words: \u2018Let us hear her answer,\u2019 from the centre of the newspaper workers.The speaker was John Devoy, head of the Cronin Prosecution Committee, and a well known figure in Irish Nationalist affairs.Attorney Donoghue jumped and pointing his finger at Devoy exclaimed: \u2018Who fs\u2018 this gentleman who interrupts the Court?\u2018Let the Court order him to rise.\u2019 \u2018Does the Court ask me to stand up?said Devoy.Judge Tuthfll reprimanded the speaker, but informed the defence that as a newspaper man and a member of the Cronim Committee, Devoy had as much right to be there as the attorney, Mr.Donoghue.Counsel took up the examination at the point where Mrs.Foy swore to Martin Burke passing her house on the night of May 9, while she, her husband and several other persons were sitting on the front steps.Foy followed Burke and entered into conversation with him.The defence obtained from the witness the names and addresses of all the Irishmen who were sitting on the steps of the Foy residence that night beside her husband.One of them, Michael O'Connor, the witness said, is a member of the police force of this city.The defence intends to make witnesses out of any \"Bt these men who will swear contrary to Mm Foy's testimony.It is expected to impeach her in that way and Coughlin\u2019s lawyers are considering the advisability of putting the defendant on the stand in this connection.Mr.Wing tripped the witness once and confused her for the first time.She testified last week, although not im reply to a question, that her husband and Ooughlin never closed the door of the secret conference room in the Foy house after the night of the murder.To-day she said the door was closed after the night of May 10, when her husband and Coughlin were talking in low tomes in the front room.After May 4, she said Foy and Coughlin were found always talking about finding the body.When they met at her house she was able to catch the tenor of their conversation because every night she went into the room to \u2018mind the baby.\u2019 The witness reiterated the significant conversation which she had with the defendant on the night of May 12, when her husband was away from home, and she was afraid he had been arrested.She added to the story by saying that Coughlin told her to have no fear, that she would be well taken care of by his friend, Alexander SulHvan, and nobody knew who killed the doctor.\u2018Do you know this man?asked Attorney Wing, of the witness, pointing to Devoy.twhouted \u2018Slightly.\u2019 \u2018You know him wel, don't you, as the private prosecutor in this case\u201d \u2018I have met him a good deal lately.\u2019 Attorney Bottom was excited, and protested against bringing Devoy\u2019s name into the case.Ualy a few minutes elapsed before another excited scene occurred.Mrs.Foy had been denying that she swore at her husband and quarrelled with him.She admitted that she had sa.d she knew all about the murder to outside persons and that she was \u2018as pure as the Virgin Mary.\u2019 \u2018Did you not say on the fifth day of May.that you did not believe that Cronin wae murdered 7 The state demanded that the question should be specified as to names, and the judge sustained the objection.Both of Coughlin's lawyers were on their feet to launch forth a bitter attack upon the methods of Police Inspector Schaack, Captain Shutter and Attorney Scanlan.Attorney Wing accused the police and Scanlan, the prosecuting lawyer, of subjecting Jos.McKenna to illegal arrest, of keeping him in the sweat-tox for hours at the Chicago investigation, and rhe same Russian outrages were \u2018being perpetrated on other witnesses for the defence.\u2018It is an .outrage on this prosecution,\u2019 shouted Attctney Bottom, interrupting; \u2018I call on Mr.Scanlan to repel this attack upon his honor.\u2019 The young lawyer flashed out his statement to the Court, saying that Mec- Kenna had been chargeëd with the murder of Cronin with others, and it was his duty as an attorney for the state to interview him.He had a right to do that.and he notified the defence that he would talk to more witnesses for the defence like McKenna in the same way whenever he pleased.There was a \u2018lull in the storm, but only for a minute.Attorney Donoghue was on his feet again accusing Mr.Bottom of unprofessional conduct in saying to his colleague loud enough for the jury to hear: \u2018They are getting desperate.\u2019 He demanded that the lawyer be reproved.Judge Tuthill sald severely that such conduct was very improper and warned the jury not to pay any heed to what they heard.The trial was getting exciting as well as interesting and half the people in the court room were stand- J ing up while the iliff rapped for order.Then came the Diggest play of the defence.Mrs.Foy was shown three letters which she acknowledged had been written by her.At the conclusion of her examination Mr.Wing put them in evidence and read them to the jury.They showed that Mrs.Foy had offered her story first to the defence and had threatened that she would tell all to the state if she did not get rewarded and put the witness before the jury in the ¥ght of a disappointed revengeful woman who had peddled a murder story for money, implicating her husband and told it in court after four years silence.The letters were addressed to Mr.W.S.Forrest who was leading counsel for Coughlin, Burke and O\u2019Sullivan at the first trial.They were written at the time the appeal for a new trial wis being heard before the Supreme Court.She wrote in the letter: \u2018IT am going to make a sworn statement unless I get some reward.\" She alsp declared that she knew all about the murder, and .that when her husband came \u2018home on the morning of May 5, he said, in answer to her question: \u2018I have heen helping to remove a soul into eternity.\u2019 The second letter to Mr.Forrest was more menacing and aimed at Coughlin.She wrote: \u2018I am going to have a chance now or know the r why.Tell Dan I know al about his visits to our home.I knew all about the murder on the morning of May 5.My husband told me.Tell Coughlin that I have also suffered and I must have my reward.They have my curse.Now, remember, I am going to the state's attorney.\u2019 The third letter, unsigmed, was about arranging for a meeting between Mrs.Foy and Mr.Forrest.The lawyer's answers were sent through a daily paper.Then the defence cross-examined the witness.On the direct examination, Mns.Foy swore that when she visited Mr.Forrest at his office, Mr.Wing, the attorney, was called in.She denied that she ever asked for money.She appealed to Mr.Wing to admit that he satd to her: \u201cWe dfd not get much money ourselves.\u2019 Mrs.Foy was anxious to make the jury beMeve she was actuated by love for her husband in wanting to make a deal with the state for defence, and that his reformation was her only desire in life.\u2018If you don\u2019t charge my husband, I will make a public statement,\u201d were the words she swore she addressed to Mr.Forrest and Mr.Wing in the former's office.She swore that she told them: \u2018Very near aimost the same story.\u2019 she tid in Court when she visited Forrest's office.\u2019 \u2018That is not true,\u201d exclaimed Attorney Wing.\u2018Do you expect to get a divorce, Mrs.Foy?asked Mr.Wing, knowing what her answer would be, \u2018We Catholics never get dvorced.\u2019 \u2018You want to accuse him of murder and get rid of him that way\u201d It is an outrageous accusation,\u2019 Attormey Bottom on his feet ike a flash.\u2018That is all, Mrs.Foy,\u2019 rejoined At- tormey Wing, and the most sensational chapter in the history of the second trial of Dan Coughlin was closed.At the afternoon session Mrs.Laura Hennan and Mrs.John A.Lindgren testified and Mrs.Lindgren identified the pieces of flooring and shutter.Stephen Cooley and Police Captain Schuettler also testified.The latter's examination was not finished when the Court adjourned.ce THOSE SHAM INFERNAL MACHINES.Berlin, Dec.26.\u2014Many sham infernal machines sant by prac*'cal jokers as Xmas presents to frienas have passed through the postoffice in the last few days.In a number of cases the persons receiving the suspicious looking parcels were afraid to open them and consigned them to the poiice, thereby ziving the examining experts a great deal of useless work.The police are on the \u2018track of a number of the senders and they intend to prosecute the offenders with rigorous severity.They have already arrested one offender, a lady.STREET CARS AND SNOW.THE ALDERMEN AGAIN DISCUSS THE PROBLEM.The City Council talked charter amendments, street railway snow and street paving yesterday.Mayor Desjardins presided.Ald.Beausoleil raised a question of privilege.He moved that conslder- ing the attempts made to change the method of electing our Mayor that the Council protest and send a delegation to Quebec to request the Legislature to maintain the present system of election by the popular vote.Ald.Prefontaine did not see the need.It was useless to protest on one question if all the others interfered with by the Legislature were to be passed by unnoticed.He moved that the Legislature be petitioned not to consider any amendment which the City Council had not recommended.Ald.Thompson said he had not heard a single person approve of the change proposed.He had heard many speak against making any change in the method of electing the Mayor.Ald.James objected to taking the votes out of the people\u2019s hands.Ald.Prefontaine here took occasion to have a fling at the Legislature.The aldermen were to be given a salary, he understood.For himself he did not want any salary, they had decided on a new basis of taxation, too, reducing the borrowing power, but adding at the same time to the city\u2019s indebtedness ; had decided that the city could not revise its own voters\u2019 lists, but the presidents of boards of trade and other parties could.If the mayoralty question must go to protest, let all these other things go too.Ald.Beausoleil objected to having a mayor who might be the nominee of a.clique or party.What was Ald.Pre- fontaine\u2019s object in trying to bring all these other subjects in ?Had they not already been discussed and sent to Quebec ?Was it to prevent the free expression of opinion on the mayoralty ?However, he would meet Ald.Prefon- taine half way and accept his amendment.Ald.Rainville added the rider: \u2018especially any amendment that tends to affect the constitution of the Council itself.\u2019 The only objectors being Aldermen Reneault, McBride, Stearns, Savignac and Stevenson, the proposals as a whole were adopted.That petition to close saloons at 11 o'clock was referred to the Police Committee.Considerable discussion met the proposal to vote $10,000 to clear away the snow brushed off the Street Railway tracks.Ald.Stevenson wanted the \u2018hogs\u2019 backs\u2019 at each side of the tracks shaved down to prevent sleighs capsizing.Ald.Dagenais waited the five minute service part of the by-law enforced.Ald.Prefontaine replied that that involved a legal question.It must go to the City Attorney.He questioned if the time service came into force until the whole of the lines were completed, and the three years of grace were up.Ald.Clendinneng refused to accept any | responsibility for the company\u2019s vaga-' rhes.He did not see what the aldermen hdd to do with them.Let the proper officials see that the company was kept to the letter of jts contract.Snow would not go away by people whistling and aldermen couldn't out in the morning and shovel it o e streets.He didn\u2019t see why.electric sleighs couldn\u2019t be run and the snow left as before the advent of electricity.Runners might be utilized as well as wheels or canal boats.In the meantime let officials do their duty and let the people stop hounding the aldermen.He for one was not going to run out and bother about the cars, no matter how many letters filled the papers.Ald.McBride asked the Mayor to see that the cars were not overcrowded:now that the City Surveyor had come .to a decision how many they could accommodate.Ald.Stevenson defended the merchants who, he said, had not been unreasonable, In fact they had been very patient under most trying circumstances.As for the service, he had waited that afternoon twenty minutes for a car.It was a citizen's right to complain to the aldermen, and the aldermen\u2019s duty to listen.If some aldermen took as much interest in the citizens\u2019 welfare as in that of the Street Railway, the citizens\u2019 troubles would soon be remedied.Ald.Marsolais asked that there be added to the report a clause that snow be removed at night if necessary.The report, as amended, was adopted.A report to appropriate $78,600 for paving Notre Dame street east was adopted, subject to the approval of the Legislature.Mr.Alfred Perry's gift of a picture of an old fire engine was accepted and a vote of thanks ordered to be sent to the donor.The report to grant Mr.Bertin permission to erect pagodas was referred back to the Water Committee, it being stated that a syndicate was ready to pay for the privileges.The report to grade Cedar avenue e°' a cost of $22,900 was opposed by Ald.Beausoleil, who said the city hed already exceeded its borrowing powers by two millions, and was the laughing stock at Quebec.He might as well have shouted at the wind.The report was adopted by 16 to 9.The Council having accepted Brandon, Gaudry and Plymouth.streets, adjourned.\u2014_\u2014 TO EQUALIZE TAXATION.Rome, Dec.26.\u2014Premier Crispi has sent a circular to the prefects in Sicily requesting them to urge the communal officers \u2018to confer and devise means for a more equitable assessment of taxes, and to see that the taxes upon the ne- cesgaries of life are levied without undue severity.Prior to the riot in Lie- cara di Freddi, on Saturday, the local workingmen's unions sent a telegram to Premier Crispi, begging him to intervene against the duties.The Premier, in reply, expressed sympathy with the pcople\u2019s legitimate demands, pointed out the recessity of preventing violence and urged the people to ignore agite- tors.The unions teiegraphed back to Crispi that they had posted the message throughout the towns and that they confided in him, 4 A MEMORIAL TO THE WORLD.A REMABKABLE IOOUMENT FROM WORLD'S FAIR COMMISSIONERS TO ALL GOVERNMENTS.Washington, Dec.26.\u2014The World's Coi- umbian exposition memorial for

the Gevernments of the World: \u2014 The undersigned citizens of many countries, gathered \"at \u2018he World's Colum- bian Exposition in Chicago, in the United States of America, recognizing the

fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have been a spark froin the chimney.The loss on the buildings and stock is about $4,000 with no insurance.Eighteen men are thrown out of work by the fire.Northport, Ont., Dec.26.\u2014Mr.W.A.Benson\u2019s residence was burned, to the ground last night.The fire appliances of the village not being what they should, and the wind blowing a gale, nothing could be done to save the building, and but for heroic work, on the part of the neighbors, the whole village would now have been.in ashes.The building was insured in the Commercial Union Insurance Company.THE NEW YORK CUSTOMS IRREGULARITIES.Washington, Dec.26.\u2014Assistant Secretary Hamlin, to-day, as a result of investigations so far made in the New York Customs house irregularities, ordered Mr.Kilbreath, collector, at New York, to suspend until further notice all reliquidaticns in tobacco cases and all reliquidations under the Tariff act of 1888.It is estimated at the Treasury department that the tobacco liquidation case will foot up at least one million dollars, and that the amount involved in the other cases will reach a much greater figure.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE FLOOD IN BRANTFORD.Brantford, Ont., Dec.26.\u2014The flood in the Grand river {s abating somewhat, but still continwes to be serlous.Early this forenoon it was discovered that the head gates of the canal were in a very dangerous condition and that the water was washing its way through the bank there.A gang of men were immediately placed at work filling the place with sand bags and all available material to stop the water.So far the men have held their own.Had this bank at the head gate given away the river would have changed its course to the camal and done great damage to factories along the canal and property in Eagle Place.The water still continues to run through many streets in West Brant- ford.Main street is in very bad con- dition, DEATH OF VICTOR

prominent manufacturer of porcelain through whose efforts much progress was made in that industry.In 1829, M.Schoelcher made a tour of the United ' States and Cuba, where he studied the slave question and became disgusted with the institution.The result was the publication of several works demanding the emancipation of the slaves.In 1848 he entered the Ministry of Marine as under secretary and proposed the decree that proclaimed the principle of emancipation for French nagroes, and established a commission to prepare a ww enfranchising them.It was also through his efforts that the use of the lash in the French navy was abolisbed.Subsequent to the \u2018coup d'etat\u2019 in 1851 he was expelled from France and Bel- glum and went to England.He did not veturn to France until after the

the British flag should be hoisted on all the islands as it was nearly a year ago on Butaritari.His report dwelt on the richness of the js- lands and the prospect of developing British trade.He approved the practical deposing of King Tubereimoa, who, it will be remembered, appealed to the United States against the arbitrary action of Captain David of the Royalists.When the \u2018Almy\u2019

Prendergast case this afternoon.Attorney Essex, for Prendergast, followed and held the close attention of the jury while he went over the evidence and brought numerous good reasons to support the theory that his client was not responsible for what he did.The most startling statement made by \u2018Mr.Essex was that he believed that if Prendergast could have gone to Washington at the time of the great interest in the silver legislation during the special session of Congress last summer, that he would have killed Cleveland.When court adjourned at 3.30 o'clock Mr.Essex had not finished
