imprisonment.He passed sentence of one month in jail and $100 fine; failing the payment of fine or recovery of same by distress warrant, an additional month's imprisonment.Mr.Cardinal immediately appealed on behalf of his client against the judgment.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MR.CLARKSON'S SUDDEN DEATH.The city has suffered loss through the death of one of its most energetic and For &enterprising citizens.Mr.W.A.Clark- son, the general manager of the Singer Manufacturing Company, died very suddenly of heart disease, in his home in St.Henri, at flve o'clock this morning.About two o'clock he complained of being ill, but did not think it serlous enough to require madical attendance, for which he decided to await until the day arrived.Towards five o'clock, how- most immedately.To-day the Singer works are closed out of respect to the deceased.He had been with the company for upwards of ten years, during which time he had been a careful, efficient and painstaking ser- ! vant, proof of which may be had from the fact that while he was still a young man, being only thirty-eight years of age at the time of his death, he was promoted to the responsible position of general manager for Montreal.Prior to his connection with this company Mr.Clark- son was in the employ of the Canadian Pacific Railway.Deceased was very popular with a broad circle of acquaintances, and leaves a widow and a large number of friends to mourn his loss.Mr.Clarkson was Worshipful Master of Mount Morian Lodge, No.38.A.F.and A.M, GR Q He was highly esteemed by his brother Masons, and will be missed in the councils of the order.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ST.LAMBERT HILL THE MANDAMUS CASE\u2014PROCEED- INGS TO-DAY.\u2014\u2014 Much interest was taken in Court House circles, this morning, concerning the peremptory mandamus ordering the city to proceed with the St.Lambert hill extension and which was returnable today.Shortly before noon, Mr.Ethier, city attorney, on behalf of the city,and Messrs.R.C.Smith and Archer, on behalf of the petitioners, came before Judge Tait In cagfaber Mr.Bthiar explained that, so far, \u2018lp had recéived no instruction from his clientf \u2018respecting the return.However, as the writ mentioned that the return must be made before the court, he had come before the Practice Court when it opened, but having yet received no orders, had done nothing in the matter.He held that he was entitled to the whole day for his return, no special hour being mentioned in the writ, and moreover, the proceedings should take place before the court and not before a judge in chambers.Mr.Smith said that he also was of opinion that the whole day should be granted for the return.The judge maintained Mr.Ethier\u2019s views as to the proceedings taking place before the court and not in chambers, and, consequently, the parties proceeded to expose the matter before the Practice Court.Judge Pagnuelo, who presides in this court, was met in the corridor going to bis lunch.The position was explained to him in a few words, and he declared that the court, having now adjourned until tomorrow.he could not reopen it, except with the consent of the parties.Mr.Ethier replied that as the final result involved a possible decree of contempt of court, he could not, of course, give any consent.Matters remalned in this condition,and the original writ, having been duly filed in the offlce of the prothonotary, in accordance with the amendment of Article 1030 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the petitioner no doubt will ask fot the $2,000 fine imposed by law, if, as is most probable, no return has been made before the end cf the day.A .Meanwhile the city has filed a notice of appeal from the judgment ordering the mandamus to issue.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 McGILL NOTES.DATE OF SPORTS FIXED\u2014THE \u2018FORTNIGHTLY OUT\u2014MR.REXFORD TO ADDRESS THE Y.M.C.A.It has been decided definitely by a meeting cf

21°] TWO LIVELY TOPICS.THE COAL OF COHEN AND OTHERS, AND THE ST.LAMBERT HILL PROJECT.THE POLICE INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE GRANTED FULLER POWERS BY THE CITY COUNCIL.The aldermen were in high good humor during their meeting, yesterday, with one or two striking exceptions.Coal contracts occupied the attention of the Council for over an hour.Until that question was settled the Mayor was austere.After the vote he beamed like an April sun, through the clouds of coal dust with which vivid fancy fllled the alr.During the discussion there occurred much hilarity and bitterness, many but they are Ald.Costigan\u2019s confreres.He has supported them.Ald.Costigan\u2014I never supported them.The Mayor\u2014You never gave any reason for what you did, and you even said you did not know the price paid for the 200 1 tons purchased by the superintendent.Ald.Costigan, (angrily)\u2014You have no right to make that insinuation.The | statement is not so.Matters were getting serious.The Mayor was white and Ald.Costigan was \u2018flushed with anger.Ald.Costigan renewed the attack.\u2018You are making statements that are not true, and you know it\u201d For a moment there was uproar.The Dersonalities, .vinks.énd-enipiutte: it; tings down.For instance, there seemed to be a secret sting in the remark that certain aldermen were friendly with coal men.The taunt was repudiated with THE PRELIMINARIES WERE DECIDEDLY COAL-DUSTY.lively gestures and strong adjectives.The majority of the aldermen enjoyed \u2018the fun\u2019 of the coal business, and waited for the St.Lambert hill scheme.Their waiting was not in vain.The first question arose on the report of the Water Committee, that the contract for cast iron pipes had been awarded to the Montreal Foundry Company, at $28.90 per ton.Ald.Stevenson wanted to know where the pipes were made.Ald.Costigan did not know.Ald.Jacques supposed that this was the lowest tender?Fcho answered not.Aj}Z.Ë ; Council that nak] 08 ar ; Sæith reminded the oil that 1 \u201c| yotir friend a you have to call Knowles ja rrr\u2014\u20141 NE Dr PUBLIC INTEREST.no money to spend on cast Iron pipes or anything else at present.The City Auditor had told them that in March they had $426,000 at their disposal, of which $360,000 has been appropriated.He also showed that the Council had not taken into account the lability which it had assumed nearly a year ago for Cote St.Louis's debt, amounting to $239,000.1 M1 UP 4 FACTS AND FIGURES.Therefore, Ald.Smith said, there had been an over-appropriation of $170,000, and if this contract was signed there would be no money to pay for it.The question was left till next meeting.During this Ald, Costigan eyed the Mayor with evident disfavor.He was aching to say something.The fact that there would be \u2018words\u2019 was evident.Ald.Costigan, supported by Ald.Leclerc, wanted the Mayor to sign the Cohen coal contract.The Mayor intimated that he wished to reply to certain insinuations of Ald.Costigan regarding that contract.Ald.Costigan denied having attacked the Mayor.The Mayor\u2014Knowles & Co., and King- man, Brown & Co., are not my friends, DISCLAIMED FRIENDSHIP.Mayor sat down saying, \u2018Éon°t call me the friend of coal merchants.\u201d \u2018fhe protest broke the strain and the Council laughed heartily.But Ald.Costigan had not yet finished.\u2018The presiding officer,\u2019 he continued, \u2018has no right to insult or make false statements against any member of the Council.\u2019 The Mayor\u2014I am not insulting anybody.Ald.Costigan\u2014\u2018'You know the statements you have made are false.\u2019 Ald.Savignac withdrew his name as the seconder of Ald.Costigan\u2019s motion that the contract be awarded to Cohen & Sons, and Ald.Leclerc seconded the motion instead.: Ald.Jacques asked if it was a fact that Cohen & Sons\u2019 deposit was not sufficient.The Mayor\u2014If there is anything illegal, I will not sign this contract any more than the last one.Any contract passed by the Council and approved by the city attorney will be signed by me.The Mayor here mentioned the coal at the wheelhouse, \u2018which came from Ald.Costigan's friend.This was too much for Ald.Costigan.\u2018I object to your making such statements,\u201d he exclaimed, \u2018try and tell the truth for once in your life.\u2019 \u2018I bave.as.t to call Cohen my friend,\u201d answered the Mayor, with an unctuous smile.Ald.Kennedy wondered why the Council could not buy its coal like other people \u2014surely there was something wrong somewhere.The vote on the motion to award the contract to Cohen & Sons resulted as follows: For\u2014AldermenLeclere, Prenoveau,Beau- soleil, Nolan, Marsolais, Costigan and Prefontaine.\u20147.Against\u2014Aldermen Lefebvre, Turner Jacques, Lyall, Reneault, Smith, McBride, Hurtubise, Savignac, Brunet, Kennedy, Rainville, Dupre, Penny and Stevenson.\u2014 15.Whereupon the smile of the Mayor was beautiful to see.\u2018You see,\u2019 he said, turning to the dejected Costigan, \u2018your friend is beaten.\u201d He was glad, he said, that the vote_had resulted as it had.Ald.Costigan wanted to know what the Water Committee would do for coal.Knowles & Co.'s contract was also Te- fused signature by the Mayor, and the third one, that of Lacoste & Lacoste, was met with \u2018next meeting.\u2019 The Mayor stated that coal could be got from good houses at from $3.66 to $3.75 per ton, if they appointed a special committee for the purpose.The matter dropped.Ald.Rainville, seconded by Ald.Mec- Bride, moved the adoption of the report of the Police Investigation Committee, asking for such an enlargement of powers as would permit them to hold an cnquiry into the general administration of the police force, and detective department, and to make suggestions for the improvement of both.The report was adopted unanimously and without debate.Ald.Stevenson wanted to say something about the money needed by the fire department.Ald.Rainville said the chairman of finance was absent.Ald.Stevenson thought it a pity if the other six members present could not act without their ohief.He defied Ald.Rainville to prove that the fire department was not conducted economically.Then arose the St.Lambert Hill affair and Ald.Prefontaine leaned forward.The city attorney, whose opinion had Prefontgine\u2014'I'm afraid you are a little too big to get through\u2014unless we widen the door?! been asked on tbe mandamus, stated that \u2018the peremptory writ must according to law, be obeyed, and the proceedings in expropriation cannot, in our opinion ! be postponed.No appeal can at present | | be allowed.\u2019 Ald.Beausolell, seconded by Ald.Mar- solais, moved that the report of the Road committee and the city attorney's opin- {ion be sent to the committee of the Board of Chairmen on charter amendments, with instructions to prepare an amendment to the charter under which the cost of the widening and extension \u201cof St.Lambert hill may be dlivided equal- i ly between the proprietors interested and ! the city.Ald.Lyall asked Ald.IBeauscleil what\u2019 steps he proposed to take to arrest the judgment, and the latter replied that an appeal could be taken against the final | judgment.| Ald.Rainville propcsed as an amend- | ment that in view of the judgment ren- ! dered and the opinion ef the city attor- \u2018ney, which has just been read, this coun- : Ci! desires to express its willingness to submit to the said judgment, and io wect the obligations imposed upon it for this .improvement, which the Legislature imposed upon the city without providing the TERT at The athens wore aroused at the iniquity of St.Lambert hill being pushed thrcugh the Legislature at the last moment, and the entire cost being imposed upon the city when he latter had no money.He was astonish- | ed at such an important question being left to \u2018he last moment.There were only three interested proprietors and the whole population of real estate owners was against it.Ald.Stevenson arose indignantiv.\u201cIf we adapt Ald.Rainvilie's statement.\u201d he sald, \u2018we give up the whole case.The judgment says that the improvement must be started at once.It means that a special tax will be lavied if this judgment !s not resisted.and there will he a glorious pienic in collecting it.\u2019 contradicted the statements that this was an iniquitous or a monstrous piece of city would have to pay $2.000 a day in costs.Ald.Penny asked Ald.Prefontaine whether he thought it right, if he had the interests of the city at hearl, to try to put the city to great expense in order to further his own interests, at a time when the city has not money enough for the project he advocated.Ald.Prefontaine thought the question ridiculous\u2014\u2018It would be those who opposed the judgment who would cost the city most money.\u2019 Ald.Savignac added his denunciation of des\u201d \u2018NOT QUITE SO FAST, MY FRIEND.the scheme, as it was an injustice and against the wishes of the citizens.Ald.Smith expressed his admiration of the ability and unique way in which Ald Prefontaine handled his subject and the clause in the law.He pointed out that at the last session there had been a de- gire to have the city pay one-half of the cost and to get further time.The interest on $1,000,000, would be $40,000, which would counteract any additional revenue derived from the improvement.Ald.McBride was willing to abide by the original intention of having the city contribute $200,000.Ald.Rainville altered his amendment so as to provide against the levying of a special tax for the improvement.He was in favor of the city paying the whole cost rather than prevent the improvement.Ald.Rainville\u2019s amendment was lost by 20 to 4.-Ald.Beausoleils motion (half to be paid by city, and half by the interested proprietors), was carried on the same division.Ald.Smith's motion to have the judgment appealed against, was carried by 17 to 5.The Council will sit again this afternoon.ep \u2014\u2014\u2014= METHODIST C.E.'S AND THE CONFERENCE.Kingston,

to the In- Clans, who believe that the giant of Lake Winnipeg still takes his nightly \u201caiks, and who are pining after the +ffalo and the hunting grounds of the ast, to the Esquimaux, who look upon de aurora as the spirits of their de- farted friends, and to many other mixed rations.My friends, our duty as &fhris- tlans ls to go or send to this wonderful ountry, to tell these people that the vlood of Jesus is the one and only thing \u2018hat will save them.THE CHILD IS NOW BORN who will see great provinces carved out o! our North-West.Let us in the meantime do our duty, go or send help to these perishing peoples in the North- West.POINTS FROM THE OPEN PARLIAMENT.\u2018Work for all, and all at work,\u2019 led by the Rev.Mr.Crulkshank, of Point St.Charles.Our authority %r personal work was Christ's command and example.How had God chosen to bring the gospel to the world ?By using men, by personal work.The hindrances to personal work were, Inconsisten life, natural diffidence, pergonal weakness, lack of love and lack of faith.In war only one bullet out of eighty strikes a man, because they ere fired in the general confusion.We caznot have seventy-nine men beating tbe air.We want well directed personal effort.Helps to personal work, knowledge of the word, knowledge of men, faith, prayer without ceasing, true love for souls, consecration, anointing of the Holy Ghost and consistent life.\u2018If we desire to be consecrated, let us not circulate round and round the point of our desire, let us grasp it and enthrone :: forever in our own hearts.\u2019 A sub-report of the committee on re- slutions was at this point referred back -r expression in regard to the petition 0: Sobmer Park for permisison to sell \u201cQUI on Sundays.The Rav.W.J, Jamison, of India, gave a stirring address on that country.Its certiitty, its corruption, its possibilities a\".i's reeds were discussed by the Sitaser :2 an interesting manner.Th: Rev.Mr.Noble, of Quebec.was -\" T°Xt speaker.His subject was \u2018Go, 362 1° \u201cIn considering our subject we as keep in view certain facts: That we : & great Father in heaven, and that Ye received a divine command and he revelation.Mr.Chairman, we : 2vard much of oo (HF TERRORS OF HEATHENISM, Lg : rmailtain that these people are re- The heathen of India are often rr = gods than we ara in our worship.So wo must be assured that we have a religion that is better than they now possess.They have gods made by men, while we have a divine revelation.But, sir, we noeds must cultivate the moral and spiritual nature of our own people, before we can spread it abroad.It is being realized that university education ls not complete, and the fact that the finest professors of our universities are to be found outside teaching the word of God.18 a grand acknowledgment that the university education Is incomplete.** Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.\" Christ has sald, \u2018\u2018 Ye shall be witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem, and in Judea and unto the uttermost parts of the earth.\u2019 The grand object of preaching the gospel is the salvation of men, teaching them what heathendom does not, that there is a GOLDEN AGE IN THE FUTURE as well as in the past.We want the Christianization, humanization and civi- zatlon of the heathen world.One of the complaints of God against Israel of old was that they were not valiant for the truth.Let us satisfy ourselves that this does not stand against our charge.\u2019 AFTERNOON.After devotional exercises by the chairman, the Rev.J.R.Dobson, of Montreal, and Miss Sutton, of Coaticook, gave able addresses on junior work.The latter said that \u2018during the last year the junior societies of the province have increased from nineteen to fifty-two.The scriptures say, \u2018Freely ye kave received, freely give.\u2019 In choosing a superintendent you should choose a person who not only loves children and can influence them for good, but one who can also be beloved by them and hold their respect.In working a society do not be afrald to organize committees.It will interest the children and prepare them for places they must fill in the C.E.Society and Church.The child Samuel served God in the temple.Why not let us do our part to dedicate the children to God in early years, instead of reclaiming them in later life\u201d The Rev.Mr.Dobson, after an eloquent address on juniors, conducted an open parliament.NOTES FROM THE OPEN PARLIAMENT.St.Andrew's Presbyterian Church gave fifteen dollars for missions; Lachute Presbyterian Church, ten dollars; Chalmers, Richmond, one cent per member per week; Douglas Methodist, Montreal, twenty dollars; Victoria Church, Point St.Charles, twenty dollars.The Junior C.E.and Mission Band of Chalmers Church, Quebec, a box worth one hundred dollars to Miss Jamieson, missionary to India.Lachute Presbyterian Church helped to send a man to a gold cure institute where he was cured from the liquor habit.St Gabriel's, Montreal, go to the House of Refuge and hold socials.Coaticook Society sends flowers to the hospital.At this juncture Mr.Thos.Allan read a telegram of greeting from 1,600 Ontario societies.Miss Jamieson, of India, gave an address on \u2018Women of heathen latds.\u201d She said \u2018that in all heathen lands the position of women is much worse than that of men.Especially is this so in Mohammedan countries.In India every parent is glad to see a son born to them but this is not so in the case of the girls.The baby girls, especially if they happen to be the third or fourth of a familly, often receive an extra dose of opium and dle.I had a school in India.It was built of mud.It had no window and ALL THE LIGHT AND AIR WE GOT KA through the door.We had about forty-five children, ranging from five to nineteen years of age.Some of these children are so poor that they were naked, without a rag to cover them, and if we should give them some cloth they would wear it till it dropped off.And yet these children who come to school hungry each day answer scripture questions as intelligently as the average Sabbath school pupil of Canada.\u2019 At the close of her address, Miss Jamie- son, assisted by the Rev.and Mrs.Jamie- son, gave a trio in the Hindoo tongue, which quite brought down the house.Returning to junior work, Miss Lynch, of Montreal, opened her address on the junlor pledge by rendering it in poetry.In continuing, she said: A boy when asked what salt was, said, \u2018Salt is a thing that makes potatoes taste bad, when you don't put any on.\u2019 Now, I think that the pledge is a thing that makes a society go wrong when you don\u2019t have any.The pledge is the BACKBONE OF A SOCIETY.The Rev.Mr.Gunn, in speaking last evening, said we bad a country to be proud of and we have.We have a sovereign who is a Christian, and that is another thing to be proud of.In Claveland the children would cheer long and loudly when they saw the Stars and Stripes; now let us be as loyal as the American boys and girls.When you juniors see the Union Jack, you cheer and let the people know what you are cheering for.(Applause.) In this country and in this time it is not a hard thing to be a Christian.There were times when Christian boys have died to uphold their faith.But it is not go with you.You will have trials, but bear them bravely and serve your God.Your pledge calls for you to attend svery meeting and take some part.Now, juniors, if there is a lacrosse match, no matter how interesting, should it be on \u2018the same afternoon as your meeting, you must give up the lacrosse match and to go to the meeting and take part and treat the meeting AS YOU WOULD AN APPLE PIE and take a big part.Remember, juniors, to keep your pledge and serve your God, and he will always stand by you.After Miss Lynch's address, reports were read by juniors from many of the junior societies.These reports, read by bright faced, smiling boys and girls, were full of interest and much appreclat- ed, being rewarded by much hearty applause.Miss Marta Sangster, of Dewitt- ville, gave an excellent address on \u2018 Some work for the Juniors,\u201d showing many ways in which junior societles may do good and useful service.She also made some good points on the susceptibility of children to form habits which barden as the years go on, and calied on the juniors to form good habits that would make them good and useful men and women.At this stage the report of the resolutions committes was presented, embodying assertionsg of continued loyalty to C.E.principles, hearty thanks to the citizens of Richmond for their wonderful kindness and also to the local Endeavor- ers for their activity, to the press in general for its reports of the proceed- Révextious fn worshipping thelr ings and to the \u2018 Witness \u2019 in particular for supplying the convention with daily issues.EVENING SESSION.The Rev.W.D.Reid, B.D., of Montreal, presided over the evening session.As soon as the doors were opened, an hour before the opening of the session, delegates and others commenced to pour into the hall, and before the hour of opening THE HALL WAS PACKED, and the overflow was directed to the Presbyterian church.After a song service by the choir and opening exerclses by the president, the Rev.Prircipal Flanders, of Stanstead College, late of Montreal, who was to preach the convention sermon, came forward.Principal Flanders,wh o is so favorably known to Montrealers, preached an ernest scul- stirring convention sermon.\u201cYour president,\u201d said Principal Flanders, \u2018has just announced that this is the last session of the convention, and I am thinking how solemn it is to have to say some of the last words.I think your committee has been very wise in their seleccion of a passage of scripture for the basls of our last words.For alrealy, as this convention comes to a close, you can hear the bugle call and the clashing of arms in the great fight against satan.Our text is READY FOR SERVICE.\u2018 Be strong in the Lord and the power of his might,\u2019 for \u2018 we do not fight against flesh and blood \u2019 but \u2018against principall- ties and powers.\u2019 But I seem to hear my smiling brotherS$ or sweet-faced sister yonder saying, \u2018I do not think this Christian fight needs so much strength, I have a pretty happy time.\u201d My brother, my sister, it may be you have not enough Christianity to rouse opposition.Oh, the respqusibility of this !lfe ! And then to think that this life is tut the chrysalls of eternity! I hold in my hand a small brown bulb about tbe size of an onion.You may smile and say \u2018that is nothing but a hyacinth bulb,\u2019 but my friends there is bound up In this bulb the possibilition of the flower and perfume of the hyacinth.So there is bound up in this life all the possibilities of an eternal life to come.I have again in my hand an acorn.You say, \u2018What an insignificant thing!\u201d But, my friends, I want to leave this acorn to nature, and lo it sends its roots away down into the ground, and has grown up into a mighty oak.It rocks in the breeze, it LAUGHS AT THE HURRICANE, smiles at the ragings of nature, because its roots are deep in the earth.So a man, to be firm, a rock amongst men, must be allied with God.The man who is alled with God is the strong man.If we would be strong, if we would be fifted for service, we must keep a clear communication with God, keeping away everything that stops our intercourse with our heavenly Father.I tell you, brethren, if we are to be ready for service we must be much in prayer.Let this be one of the thoughts you carry away from this hurried talk.If you would be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might, be not only pure and holy but keep communication clear.Do not stand at ease but stand \"READY WITH ARMOUR FIXED, ready for the fight in the battle against sin and satan, and then, my dear brethren, you shall indeed be \u2018strong in the Lord and the power of his might.\u2019 At the close of the sermon, Miss Lamont, of Richmond, thrilled the hearts of the delegates by a powerful rendering of \u201cThe Holy city.\u2019 While the collection was being taken up, prof.Palmer's splendid choir and orchestra, who have been such a pleasure to the convention, rendered the anthem \u2018 Sun of my Soul, \u2019thelr last gift to the delegates.Next on the programme came Leroy S.Bean, on \u2018Entire Consecration.\u201d \u2018To-night Mr.President,\u201d he commenced, \u2018is no night for the placing of words or the marshaling of phrases, I am to speak to you of entire consecration.Now what is consecration?Conse:ration I take to be the SETTING ASIDE OF THE PERSON to the use of Christ.It is a fact that a life can he consacratad to a living soul.Now, I hold that the consecration meant by this meeting is the entire surrender of the life to that unique and mighty person, Jesus Christ.And what was Christ?Some people say he was a man, a good man.One modern writer says he was the only perfect man, but nothing but a man.I say he was man, but I afirm that he was more than man.Mark me, I say he was more than a man, for in him manhood was elevated, was consummated, The mysteries of God were wrought out.We talk about consecrating ourselves to Christ\u2014now, what do we mean by it?What do we mean?Have we any clear-cut idea of what we desire?My friends, it is to do the will of God, the divine will among men, to make a heavenly soclety among mortals.The > DOCTRINE OF THE INDIVIDUALITY, overwrought and misunderstood, has caused among theologians the idea that we are here only for our own salvation.In business it has fostered that greedy grasping, that so characterizes the business men of to-day.Wer are here for the good of men, if we are consecrated we shall have a soul-burning love for men.If you and I study men as we should do, when we meet degraded men and women, when we come in contact with debased humanity, they will pour out their souls in sorrow and penitence to us.\u201cThe whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain until now!\u2019 But it is to be redeemed, and you are to be the agenoy.Entire corsecration I take to be the consecration of the individual to duty.Entire consecration is the standing face to face with ALL TEE DUTIES OF LIFE, saying I ought to do this and I will do it.\u2019 My fellow Christian Endeavorers, as you stand in the midst of this solemn hour, are you willing to consecrate yourselves to the nearest duty to your hand?This perhaps will need some sacrifice.But the performance of duty will bring its own reward.We are here for the fulfilling of the divine will among men.As the Rev.Mr.Bean was closing his address while those solemn words, \u2018In the hush of this solemn hour,\u201d were upon his lips, the light gradually lessened and then died out and this powerful and moving address was closed in the dark.However, the current was soon on again ,and the Rev.Mr.Cruikshank, of Montreal, came forward and conducted a most solemn consecration meeting.From the platform to the furthest end of the room, one after certes another arose, giving testimony and con- sccrating themselves anew to God, till soon the hour sped by.Mr.Reid, rising to his feet, closed the meeting with the \u2018Mizpah\u2019 benediction and declared the convention adjourned, And then came handshakings and goodbyes.Friends of only three days had become dear to the heart and a record of kindness was consummated by the feeling good-by and hearty invitation to come again.To the strains of \u2018When we asunder part,\u2019 the large delegation boarded the \u2018special\u2019 waiting for them, and watched the lights, of Richmond waning dimmer and dimmer, while thoughts of our kind friends, the gay halls, the splendid music, the prominent local men, Dr.Kellock,with his warm welcome, Principal Tanner, ever genial and hearty, with all his crowd of delegates.Mr.Watts, Mr.Nelson, and many others filled their larts, and when at last the lights faded from view, there was many a blessing poured out for dear friends at Richmond.THE ONTARIO CONVENTION.Kingston, Oct.11.\u2014There was considerable sunshine to-day.The air was cool and wraps were plenty.The sunrise prayer meeting at 6.30 o'clock was well attended in the First Congregational Church, led by Mr.C.K.Colhoun, of Lindsay.At 9.30 o'clock the session was resumed and the reports were brought down.Mr.Thomas Morris, jr., presented the statistical report and at the beginning urged more promptness in reporting the membership to him.It is only thirteen years since the Y.P.8S.C.E.was first instituted and now there are in the world 2,023,800.This year there are 1,496 societies, an increase of 555 over last year.Denomination.Societies.Members.Methodist .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.609 31,856 Presbyterian .466 21,765 Union

Union, 1.Ten county local unions have appointed superintendents, and about $554 have been raised for missions.The Rev.Canon Richardson, M.A., president, delivered his annual address.He bore testimony to the.uniform courtesy and loyal attachment and considerate regard he had received from Endeavorers in all parts of this province.His year\u2019s experience in the office of president led him to feel that although the duties of the office are onerous a faithful and efficient discharge of them is to the advantage of the Christian Endeavor cause in order to maintain its unity and stimulate its growth.Last year more socle- ties were organized in Canada than all the year since its organization.There are more societies in Canada than in Great Britain.The Rev.T.R.Dickson spoke of the future of Christian Endeavor and said nothing like it has appeared In the past.It brings to every young man and woman a religion for the whole nation, and meets the needs of thelr spiritual nature.It embodies the reality in religion, and calls for tke embodiment of truth in the life.It works in the interest of tha denomination, and it will revive church work, and unite the members in blesged union in the future.The Rev.J.L.George, Belleville, conveyed greetings from ths Maritime Provinces.Down fhere last year 3,577 were led to trust in Jesus Christ and make a public confession by entering into full connection with the various churches.AMONG THE JUNIORS.The afternoon service was chiefly confined to junior work.The Rev.Wray R.Smith, Stoney Creek, spoke from the title \u2018Feed my Lambs.\u201d He urged the teachers, who had charge of the training of the young people, to feed them by object lessons and by means that would prove the most successful in winning the young hearts.Miss M.Quinn, of Peterboro, condutced a conference on junior work, in which many brief addresses were made by the Rev.Mr.Smith, J.C.Harris, Hamilton; the Rev.J.F.Barker, Ingersoll; the Rev.A.M.Phillips, Montreal; the Rev.S.T.Bartlett, Cobourg; the Rev.A.C.Courtice, Kingston; the Rev.J.L.George, Belleville, all declaring the Junior Endeavor societies helped the work in the churches.HOW TO INTEREST THE BOYS was discussed.Some advocated boys\u2019 brigade; others, gymnastics.The Rev.A.F.McGregor thought they should not place supreme importance upon amusements for boys.They should keep their hands kindly on the boys, select passages of scripture for them, and tell them how to take part In religious exercises.It is mot difficult to interest boys in love for Christ.The president read a letter from Calals, Maine, containing the greeting of the Maine Endeavor Union, of twenty thousand memebers.The secretary was authorized to acknowledge the greeting.The Rev.S.T.Bartlett, Cobourg, delivered an exeellent address on the benefits of junior work.He said it was a sad sight to see the convicts in the Kingston penitentiary, the most of whom are young men.He laid great stress on the prevention of evil in the children at an early age.And this was what the Junior Christian Endeavor Soclety was doing.Prevention is better than cure and if the young people are well looked after in their tender years they may be prevented from going to the peniten- tlary or central prison in later years \\ A SUCCESSFUL RALLY.The Junior Endeavorers had a rousing time in Sydenham Street Church.The edifice was filled.A military appearance was glven to the gathering by the presence of the Boys\u2019 Brigade, of Queen Street Methodist Church.Mr.C.WW.Walker wielded the baton, and the juniors sang with great vigor and sweetness.Mr.Reginald Blight, of Agnes Street Methodist Church, Toronto, presided, and made a stirring speech.A few years ago the Church pald no attention to the children.They did now, and he urged helpfulness from the =\"\" (Dr.Geo.F.Shraly.in dormi The incomes of prifess.ui 0 discuesed only in an appro the amount of money ea.by the public as a mesure 1 Ler the 140 [SU of services rendered,

\u2014 MISS PROCTOR'S LECTURES.STORY OF THE SKIES BRIGHTLY TOLD.Miss Mary Proctor lectured to interested audiences yesterday afternoon and evening on the subject of the \u2018Sun and his family.\" The study of astronomy has a peculiar diminishing effeet on man\u2019s estimate of his own importance in the solar system.\u2018Why,\u2019 said the lecturer, \u2018if our! earth were placed on the edge of the sun, it would not make a big enough flame to be worthy of notice.\u2019 The flgures and facts quoted by Miss Protor\u2014glimpses at the outside indications of the infinite, caused some of her

which were held in the afternoon in the Assembly Hall of the High School and in the evening in the Windsor Hall, were well attended and the delightful instruction imparted by the clever lady who has the power to translate some of us, in mind, at least, to the heavens, was very highly appre- clated.Miss Proctor explained the limelight views with which she illustrated her lecture in a charmingly

gentleman was seen to -suddenly strike a loafer on Victoria square this afternoon.The loafer went down flat on the pavement.This rather unusual incident came about in this wise:\u2014A number of loafers are in the habit of hanging about Vie- toria square.They are trampish in appearance and do not reem to be at all busy.Quite frequently they approac those who pass by, asking tor money, and it this is refused, they pour out a torrent of abuse and vile language after the retreating form of the person addressed.One man was observed at this yesterday.To-day he was at it again; but he caught a tartar.The gentleman he addressed refused to give him any money, and when the tramp started a tirade of abuse he received a blow which knocked him down.He jumped up and followed the striker with vengeance in his eye.A second and a third time the tramp was knocked down.An observer states that on the third occasion the begger turned two summersaults before he touched the ground.According t othe latest accounts the performance was still going on.The storekeepers on the square say that these loafers are a great nuisance.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE OVERCROWDING

WAS A FEARFUL STORM.AWFUL EXPERIENCE OF THR CATTLE STEAMER \u2018EUROPE\u2019 FROM LONDOY FOR NEW YORK.New York, Oct.12.\u2014Cattlemen, who arrived in New York to-day from London, brought news that the \u2018Europe,\u2019 another ship of the National Line, encountered a terrible storm during her last run from this port to London.The \u2018Europe \u2019 sailad from New York on September 2, with a miscellaneous Cargo, in addition to which she carried 584 cattle and 599 sheep.She ran into a terrific north-westerly gale on the afternoon of September 8, and before night her rudder chain parted, and it was impossible to keep her head to the wind.She fell off, and rolled heavily, shipping seas continually, until the cattle pens on the main and spar decks were flooded.The bedding was washed from beneath the feet of the cattle, and the flooring became 50 slippery they could not stand.The ship labored terribly, and before daylight the crew threw out some oil bags to prevent the seas from breaking over her.Between one and two o'clock in the morning, the pens on the port side forward of the bridge, gave way, and the cattle which had been tied there were thrown out upon the slippery deck, and alid hither and thither, as the ship rolled, making terrific endeavors to regain their feet, until they were too weak to move, and lay down to die.The crew was small, and even though the wind abated in the morning, a heavy sea was still running, and it was not until four gear was repaired and the steamer got under way.Then the sallcrs threw over 933 cattle and 187 sheep that had been injured or killed.fee WRECKED IN LAKE ONTARIO.THE SCHOONER \u2018 HARTFORD) GOES TQ PIECES\u2014 ALL ON BOARD LOST.Oswego, N.Y., Oct.12.\u2014The great storm which wrought so much damage up and down the eastern coast on Wednesday night, switched its tail around on the lakes yesterday with disastrous results to shipping.Numerous mishaps to vessels are reported.The most serious wreck occurred in Mexico Bay, about thirty miles from this port.During the morning a vessel was seen off this port evidently making bad weather.She was supposed to be the schooner \u2018Hartford\u2019, bound from Detroit to Cape Vincent with 20,000 bushels of wheat.When within a few miles of the harbor the captain evidently thought he could not make the miles away.In crossing Mexico Bay the vessel was driven in 80 close to shore that she was unable to work off again and struck and went to pieces.Her entire crew were drowned.How many persons were on the vessel it is not known,but it is supposed there was a crew of seven persons.The body of a child was washed ashore this morning which would indicate that the captain\u2019s family must have been on board.The captain was W.O'Toole, of Clayton, a partner of the vessel.It has been learned that Capt.O'Toole\u2019s wife and baby were on the vessel, also Damase Turgeon, of Clayton, and William Donaldson, of Theresa, N.Y.The names of the balance of the crew are not ascertained.Later\u2014No more bodies have come ashore from the wreck.It is now believed that the vessel foundered.It is thought the bodies of the crew are fast in the wreckage that has not come ashore.|, The schooner \u2018Hartford\u2019 was owned by McKinley, Consaul and Capt.O'Toole, all of Clayton.There was no Insurance.Michael Purcell, of Clayton, was a member of the lost crew.Capt.O'Toole leaves an aged mother and five small children.Following are the names of the persons lost on the, schooner \u2018Hartford\u2019: Captain Wiliam O'Toole, wife an baby, of Clayton; Richard Seymour, mate, and Michael Purcell, of Clayton: Denis McCarthy, seaman, of Oswego, and an unknown seaman from Grindstone Island.ere AN EMINENT WRITER DEAD.London, Oct.12.\u2014John Nichol, LL.D., professor of astronomy and English 1it- erature, is dead, aged sixty-one years.Professor John Nichol, LL.D., only zon -of Mr.J.P.Nichol, late professor of astronomy, was born at Montrose, Forfar- shire, Sept.8,1838, and educated in the University of Glasgow (1848-55), and at Balliol College, Oxford (1855-59).He graduated B.A.at Oxford, with first honors in classics and philosophy, and honors in mathematics in 1869, but did not proceed to the degree of M.A.until 1874, after the abolition of the tests.The degree of LL.D.was conferred upon him | by the University of St.Andrews, Feb.o'clock in the afternoon that the steering.port and turned the vessel around and: started down the lake with the evident measures would compel purpose of making the \u2018passage\u2019 and find- : ing shelter behind Stony Point, thirty-five: 25, 1873.In 1861 he was appointed by the Crown professor of English literature in the University of Glasgow.He resigned his chair in 1889.In addition to teaching at the university, Dr.Nichol has been much engaged as a private tutor at Oxford, and in lecturing, espe- ctally to ladies\u2019 classes, in various parts of Scotland and England.He had taken some part in political and other controversies, as an advocate of the North in the American civil war, of secular education, and of broad church theology.Dr.Nichol was the author of several valuable works.He had also written numerous essays for the \u2018Westminster,\u2019 * North British,\u201d and other reviews; articles in the \u2018 Encyclopaedia Britannica\u2019 and several pamphlets on educational questions.lp HAZING AT KINGSTON.THE PLUMMER CASE INVESTIGATED.SENIOR NON-COMMISBIONED OFFICERS TO BE COURT-MARTIALED\u2014A VIGOROUE CAMPAIGN TO BE INSTITUTED AGAINST THE EVIL.Kingston, Ont., Oct.12.\u2014Mr.Plummer, assistant manager of the Bank of Commerce, came to the city yesterday with regard to the trouble in connection with his son and the Royal Military College.Mr.Plummer complained that his son was ill-used by having been beaten by some of the senfor boys and threatened with serious injury.At the request of the Comamndant the charges were formulated and an enquiry was made yesterday.The enquiry took the form of the trial of Cadet Plummer for leaving the college without justification.The result of the investigation was that the Commandant considered Cadet Plummer justified in absenting himself from college in consequence of ill-usage received.Enough has developed to show that the treatment of junior cadets, particularly recruits, by seniors is open to serious objecticn.It is currently reported that several senior non-commissioned ofiicers will be court-martialed.The \u2018 Witness\u2019 correspondent asked Major-General Cameron, Commandant of the college, for information.He stated that the matter is under investigation, that the determination of the Minister of Militia and Defence and the wish of all the staff of the college is to clear the institution ot -the taint of an evil which is unfortunately prevalent generally in Canada.Every cadet upon joining college signs a solemn declaration not to take part in exercising physical coercion over his comrades and to discourage fellow-cadets from doing so.The Commandant added: \u2018It will be self-evident that public press notices tending to discredit the honor, courage and manliness of those subjected to Ml-treatment, can have no other effect than to encourage the evil in its worst form and to encourage the thoughtless in forgetting the requirements of gentlemanly submission to authority.+ \u2014_\u2014 DENIED THE APPLICATION.Washington, Oct.12.\u2014Judge McComas, of the District Supreme Court, to-day denied the application of the Miles Bugar Co., of Louisiana, for a mandamus to compel Secretary Carlisle to appoint inspectors to ascertain the sugar production of the company.The object of the suit was to test the legality of the recent repeal of the sugar bounty provision of the MaKinley tariff law, and also to lay the foundation for an appeal to congress for payment of bounty for the current year.> SCHEME OF MONETARY REFORM.Paris, Oct.12.\u2014A scheme of monetary reform was expounded by the Marquis De Mores at a meeting held in this city last evening.The Marquis denounced England's exploitation of gold, and declared that lt was England's monometallic system that had deprived France of capital, in the place of which England flcoded France with raw materials which only represented the interest on capital lent.He advocated a re- coinage and the suppression of the 13% to 1 gold and silver ratio.Adoption of these Great Britain to change her currency, or pay double for her food supply.The Marquis then began discussion of the situation in Egypt, when the meeting became turbulent, and finally broke up, the uproar being so great that the speaker could not be heard.\u2014_\u2014 McGILL \u2018FORTNIGHTLY\u2019 OUT.The first number of the McGill \u2018Fortnightly' for the session issued from the press this afternoon.It presents, altogether, a good appearance.Although necessarily its pagos are largely filled with notices of meetings and societies and class reports, interlarded with the immemorial college joke, it contains three well-written contributed articles.The first of these by Mr.Andrew T.Taylor, des- scribes the new additions and alterations to the buildings of the faculty of medicine.In the second, Mr.Albert Mahaffy, B.A., gives a methodic and interesting account of the student conference at Northfield, Mass.The third.entitled, \u2018The Philosophy cf Fun and the Uses of Laughter,\u2019 is fraught with amusement of the right kind.As much cannot be sald of the local columns.Tne nicknames of professors are Inadmissable In properly conducted college papers.This was undoubtedly one of the things which placed the \u2018University Gazette\u2019 under the virtual ban of the authorities and caused it to succumb, much to the mortification of those who had sacrificed considerable for its success.The poetry department is kept up in such a manner as to lead an outsider to believe that McGill.like the England of Elizabeth, its a nest of singing birds.There is a pleasing and substantial indication that Mr.Wm.McLennan, the notary, has not forgotten his Alma Mater.Mr.McLennan contributes a poem entitled, \u2018Carillon,\u2019 which by its daintiness of execution reminds one of his translations of the old French ballads.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014= THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.Mr.J.S.Shearer presided at a meeting of the executive council of the Canadian National League in the Natural History rooms last evening.Final preparations were made for the annual meeting which is to be held on Monday evening.A large attendance is expected.Dr.J.H.C.Allan and Messrs.W.H.Whyte and Chas.McComb were olected to membership.A sub-commit- tee was appainted to make a collection of

were again of an easy tendency this morning, and prices dropped : to a point never touched before.December wheat was sold in Chicago at 525c short!y after the opening of tne murket, and May at 57540.There was no reason to think that it would go any lower.However,the market rallled slightly, and at noon was quoted at the same price at which it closed yesterday afternoon.Corn opened dull and lower, and declined 3% of a cent below yesterday's closing prices before it showed any signs of recovering.At noon the prices were the same as at the closing of yesterday's market, dull and lower, The London \u2018Mark Lane Express\u2019 of Oct.1, in its weekly review says:\u2014'That there has been over-prodyction of wheat this year is undoubted.Argentina has put at least 5,000,000 quarters more wheat into the fleld | than she was exporting three years ago; | but the other shipping countries have not reduced the total of their exports.has lost ground a little, and Russia gained ground; but if we group India, Russia, Per- | sin, Turkey and Egypt together, under the designation of \u201cThe East,\u2019 we shall find that the total exports are quite as large as ever.The United States have grown more wheat than in 1893.The excess is variously put at 40,000,000, 60,009,000, and 30,000,000 bushels.If this surplus be not taken to meet the deficiency in maize the situation will be grave indeed, but the large sales of wheat ! for stock and hog feeding in the United States look as though there was no great danger of American shipments depressing the market.\u2018The present extraordinary cheapness Is; due in the first place to the new Argentine shop recently opened.and underselling the old establishments.In the second place it is due to the fine wheat yield of France, full particulars of which were given by us.last week.This wheat vield only leaves 8,000,000, or at the most 16,000,000 bushels to ba imported in a year's trade, whereas France ig usually a purchaser of 49,000, 90N bushels, and not unfrequently takes half as much again.It is probable that the French yteld this season is a clear 56,009,000 bushels better than that of last year.Now the wheat average of last campaign was only 20s 5d (per quarter of eight bushels).despite the aid supplied to English holders hy large French wants.Dislike it as we may, it ig probable that with French buving re- dured to a minimum, the wheat average for 1894-95 will be as much below that of 1893-94 as that of 1893-94 was below any previous record within the century.The French question is not the most urgent, otherwise with Argentina, a competitor of the most formidable type, and one who has come to stay.\u2019 Wheat was about steady this afternoon, and closed in Chicago as follows: 51c Oct.53c Dec., and [8 May, being 1% of a cent better than the clesing prices of vesterday.Corn closed at 49%c Oct., 4783c Dec.and 49%c May, being the same prices at which the market closed yesterday.CHICAGO MARKETS.The

their machine and that Hill, Murphy, McLaughlin, Sheehan, McKane and Croker would disappear from active A REVIEW politics.But as a matter of fact Platt is still in politics.He named the Republican candidate for governor ard is still the PARTY \u2018 BOSS\u2019 OF THE STATE.Of the Democrats, McKane is in the penitentiary, McLaughlin has lost his grip on Brooklyn, Murphy is in the United Staies Senate, but has resigned the chairmanship of the Democratic State committee, and Croker has gone into racing.But Hill, a United States senator, the master mind of the machine is a candidate for governor of the state, and Sheehan, who, through all the defeats and flurries of a year and a half, has kept his grip on the Buffalo machine, is aiding his old master in what is generally described as the political fight of that master's life.In his own party Mr.Hill is meeting a very vigorous opposition.The Independent Democrats have put a new state ticket in the field, using tha body of the old ticket, but substituting for Mr.Hill, as the head thereof, a New York lawyer, Mr.Everett P.Wheeler, whose greatest claim to political distinction is that be \u2018has always fought Hill and his machine,' and in New York city Mr.Hiil\u2019s principal ally, the Tammany society, is being forced to fight for its existence against a combination ticket of Republicans and various asso- clations of anti-Tammany Democrats.In Syracuse, in Buffalo, in Brooklyn and in New York are organizations of Democrats vho are actively campaigning against the candidate of their party.There is added to this the silent vote, friendly to the administration, never favorable to Mr.Hill, but now determined to pay off old scores to avenge the hanging up of nominations, the petty hostility to the President, and the \u2018cute\u2019 attitude of the senator on the tariff bill.But Hill is a fighter.There are others, too, delegates to conventions, OUSTED BY THE SENATOR'S ORDERS, Democrats of standing and influence, ostracised and insulted by his machine Managers, and these, with their numerous friends, each anxious to avenge the past, make the candidate's position a trying one, if not, indeed,.a hopeless one.Hopeless it would be for most men.But Senator Hill is a good fighter.He has \u201cthe liquor element in the state vith him, almost in a body.He has the old line Democrats, who never buck a nomination, and greater than all, he is likely to win over the bulk of the 100.000 to 125,900 Roman Catholic voters of the state who heretofore have acted with the Republican party.These people are being fished for with A.P.A.bait, and the Republican State convention had at first a plank in its platform condemning the prospective methods of this organization.It did not appear ln the platform as adopted.In most of the cities of the state the A.P.A.control the local Republican organizations, and they apparently had sufficient influence to have the state convention ignore the complaints of Roman Catholic Republicans.Mr.Morton, the candidate for governor, takes\u2019 this matter in a very gingerly fashton.Not so Senator Hill, not so the chairman of his state campaign commit- tae, not so the Democratic stato ccnven- tion, not go the Democratic papers supporting his candidacy.Everywherz the contrast Is beicg mado evident.Every- whore the Deriocrats in the state ais pitching into the Republican party for re ; CONNECTION WITH THE A.P.A, and the shrewd politiclans in charge of the Democratic canvass have already suc- teeded beyond their greaiest expectations.If only the Cleveland Democrats can be placated Mr.Hill's election, like his calling, is certain.But of this there are grave doubts.Ths opposition in \u2018his own party is too bitter, too widespread, and of tno long standing.If the third ticket gets twonty-flve thousand votes, which at this writing is not an extravagant estimate, Mr.Hill will be defeated.As time wears on the dissatisfaction may lessen.It will not, however, disappear.The third ticket may help the Democratic party, although it may defeat Mr.| HI], because many people will vote with tlelr party and against Hill, who.if that ticket were not beforc them, would vote against their party for the reason that they cannot support Hill.There is yet no particular enthusiasm.It is a cold campalgn.with the elements on both sides so badly split up that predictions, if made now, would surely come to grief tho first week cf November.Syracuse, N.Y., Oct.11.\u2014Senator Hill opened his campaign, as the Democratic candidate for governor, in this city, this evorlng, by addressing 5,000 people in a hall which barely seats half that number.and many people were turned away.Although this is part of the Republican stronghold, there was great enthusiasm, both wings of the Democratic ghrty be- Ing represented on the platform by their leading members.)

Oct.11.\u2014The Lexow Committee's proceedings opened at eleven o'clock this morning, with Mr.Forget on the stand.He is the agent for the French steamship line who displayed a remarkably poor memory on Tuesday as to where $500 went on Dec.31, 1891.\u2018Now, Mr.Forget,' said Mr.Goff, \u2018have you remembered what became of that $500 paid by you?\u201d \u2018| bave.I paid it to Captain Max Schmittberger.The ward detective told me that as we had ceased to pay officer De Gan $10 a week for the year, the captain wanted $500, which sum the weekly payments we had not made would aggre- ate.\u2019 5 \u2018Did Captain Schmittberger call for the money?\u2019 \u2018I believe he did.Yes, I remember paying him in bills.\u2019 Officer Martin C.Riley, for twenty-six years on the force, and a member of the steamboat squad during fifteen years, testified that he had $10 a week for extra services on the Cunard Line pier, but that Captain SchmittWerger wanted every cent of it.He was already paying the ward detective $5 a week.He sald he was taken from the Cunard Line pier and placed on a less pleasant post.Gustave Wolf, whom Mr.Forget, the manager of the Fapnch Line, testified on Tuesday had approached him on Captain Schmittberger's behalf, said he knew Captain Schmittberger for years.The captain asked him if he would intercede with Mr.Forget in his behalf.The witness did business with Mr.Forget, and consented to ask him not to testify against the captain.Mr.Forget was waited on by witness at the steamship, and asked by him net to '~veal the $500 payment.Lawrence Carney, a youthful writer and backer of the policy business, told about the traffic.He gave as the names of notorious policy backers, A.Adams, C.P.Parker, Billy Meyers, Ed.Hogan, Charlie Mindeu, Dick Gamin and Billy Martin.The policy men were safe from interference, he sald, the police being very intimate with them.To-day 600 policy shops were open.A man named P.J.Collin, living in Jersey City, receives the cipher daily from Kentucky, and gives it to the backers.He related entertainingly how the policy business is conducted.The police would saunter into his policy shop and say: \u2018Don't let newspaper men or Central office men in.You can keep open on the quiet.\u201d Carney had prepared a list of the policy shops now open in the various precincts, but said they would all be closed to-morrow when his evidence was published.He mentioned Captains Martin and Stevens as being particularly affable to policy men.Several weeks ago Ward Detective Callaghan approached him while he was writing a policy in a Front street hotel, and said: \u2018The old man says go up higher, Carney.\u2019 \u2018What 41d he mean?\u2019 asked Uncle Dan Bradley.\u2018Why to go in another room\u2014go on the floor above, so when the Parkhurst people came they would find the old shop closed, see?\u201d Carney then described policy gigs.He said it would be impossible to open a policy shop without permission from the captain of the precinct.Since the reform wave struck the city, policy writing had decreased fifty percent.\u2018But it will spring up again when you senators let up,\u2019 said Carney.Carney said that on bne occasion à partner policy man named Dove had to pay $650 to the Gerry Society agents to escape their clutches.Dove had sold a slip to a boy and the Gerry people threatened to arrest him unless he gave them money.George W.Miller, of the annexed district, said he paid $15 to the police to have the polling place of the election district on his premises.The city allows the landlord of the polling place $50, so Miller profited $35 by the transaction.Mr.Goff said: \u2018This ts the custom.The police get $15 out of ten places In every election district.As there .are over a thousand districts, the revenue from them now runs into thousands.\u2019 - The committee adjourned till.Tuesday.> A FOUL MURDER.Scranton, Pa., Oct.11.\u2014Marie Kerzic was to have been married on Tuesday, to Anthon Bourschnacn, for whose sake she had just come from Bohemia, but at about eight o'clock on that morning she was killed by Frank Bezek, a rejected suitor In Olyphant.Bezek and the young woman arrived in Oly- phant from Prague, where they were regarded as sweethearts, but Marie had been in ~orrespondence with Bourschnach, and it is said that they were most devotedly attached to each other.Bezek annoyed Marie with his attentions, and they separated.Bourschnach wrote her an offer of marriage, which was accepted.When she started for America Bezek resolved to come, too, and her father placed her in his care.Boursch- nach met them in New York, and took her to the home of her sister, Mrs.Kramar, in Olyphant.Bezek begged the girl to marry him, but she refused.On Tuesday morning Best called on Marte, and found her pro- paring for her wedding to Anthon.He asked her again to marry him, but she became frightened and called her sister.Then Bazek seized the girl by the arm, and, drawing a revolver from his pocket, shot her in the faca.He fired a second shot while he still held her.the ball entering h=r temple.As he was about to leave he fired a third shot.which struck the girl's right foot.Mrs.Kramar screamed \u2018Murder! and Bezek ran toward her with his revolver.but found that it was not loaded.Then he fled, pursued by a crowd.He plunged into the Lackawanna River, but was captured when he returned to shore.The bridegroom did not hear of the fhooting until he arrived in Olyphant tn be married and found his bride dead.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DEATH

an attack on and routed a force of two thousand Chinese, at Wiju, and that the place remains in the hands of the Japanese.It is reported to the Japanese officers that ten thousand Chinese troops occupy the north bank of the Yalu river, where they have completed eight batteries and are building more.Field Marshal Count Yamagata has established his base of operations at Ping Yang, which is near the sea and easy of access to supplies.It is generally hoped that the Japanese will take Mukden by the early part of November.Other important military operations are under way, but their objects are as yet kept secret.Early results, however, are expected.China has been formally notified of the surrender and despatch to Nagasaki of the steamship \u2018Ten Kyo Maru,\u2019 together with her European and Chinese crews.A state of siege has been declared in the district of Hiroshima, under Article 14 of the Japanese constitution.St.Petersburg, Oct.11.\u2014The \u2018Novosti\u2019 contends that if the Japanese are victorious they will firmly establish themselves in Corea, proving a constant menace to Russia, while the Chinese will threaten her from Manchuria.Russia, the \u2018Novosti\u2019 further says, will be compelled to make continued sacrifices to maintain the Siberian frontier.a task possibly beyond her power, while her Pacific squadron will be hampered by the Japanese fleet.As the only means of averting this, Russia must intervene, rend troops to Corea and Manchurla, annex both, extend the Siberian railway to Seoul, attain a firm footing on the Pacific, and conclude her mission of civilizing the semi-civilized countries of Asia, : The \u2018Novosti\u2019 urges Russia to follow the example of Great Britain, which, it declares, knows how to safe-guard her interests when they are threatened.London, Oct.11.\u2014A correspondent with the Japanese forces at Wiju telegraphs under date of yesterday as follows: The difficulty experienced in transporting our guns and commissariat overland has greatly retarded our advance.The main portion of the.advanced column reached Yong Chon on Oct.4.No sign of the enemy was seen.On the 8th scouts reported that a small Chinese force, under 2,000 men, were still occupying Wiju, and a detachment of Japanese cavalry and infantry, supported by light artillery, was sent to dislodge them.The Chinese offered a slight resistance, and then fled in disorder across the Yalu river.The Chinese loss in killed and wounded was under 100.We occupied Wiju on thé same day.We do not expect to advance further for some days.The Chinese afte

to be strong.The next fight will be serious.Eight leading Corean noblemen will leave Seoul on Saturday, to seek an interview with the Japanese Emperor at Hiroshima.It ls understood that they will petition the Emperor to maintain the Japanesd protection of Corea.Japan has pledged herself not to annex Corea, but she will not permit any European nower to take a foot of Corean territory, or allow Russia to take any position menacing the integrity of Japan.The Corean Government has written \u2018to the Japanese minister at Seoul, thanking him for all he has done for Corea and complimenting the Japanese commanders upon their success.The Chinese in Pekin and Tien-Tsin believe that Russia is actively assisting Japan by every means in her power except a formal alliance.New York, Oct.12.\u2014 The \u2018Herald's\u2019 special from Shanghai says: \u2014\u2018The two Japanese students who were surrendered to the Chinese authorities by the American Consul here, have been barbarously executed

that your Toronto correspondent, in your issue of Oct.3 undertakes to enlighten your readers as to the action of the General Conference of the Methodist Church on the temperance and prohibition question, but unfortunately he makes some serious blunders.Your correspondent states that an effort was made to make abstinence from the use of intoxicating liauors a condition cof membership, but that this was defeated.This is absolutely untrue.Abstinence from the use of intoxicating liquors is now, and has been for many years, a condition of membership.The general rules drawn up by John Wesley (see Discipline, 1890, p.14) forbid \u2018buying or selling spirituous liquors or drinking them, unless in case of great necessity.\u2019 It may be said that the use of distilled liquors, only, is here forbidden, but ten years ago the General Conference added a note of interpretation in the following words: \u2018 The General Rules are to be understood as forbidding the buying, selling or using intoxicating liquors as a beverage.\u2018 The proposal made at the General Conference was not to make total abstinence a condition of membership for it was already a condition of membership, but it was proposed to ask each candidate for membership the question \u2018Are you an abstainer from intoxicating liquors, and will you continue to be one ?\u2019 This was looked upon by the General Conference as unnecessary, for one of the five questions asked every candidate is, \u2018 Will you cheerfully be governed by the rules of the Methodist Church ?an affirmative answer to this question is required, and covers the rule requiring total abstinence, as well as a great many others.No one rule is made the subject matter of a question at the reception service \u2014why single out the rule regarding total abstinence and ignore all the rest ?This was the consideration that led the General Conference to reject the proposal.Your correspondent is just as mistaken in his presentation of the attitude of the General Conference on the question of prohibition.1 happened to be the mover of the amendments to the report of the committee adopted by the General Conference.The first of these is transposed \u2018and weakened by your correspondent, evidently to suit his theory of what should have been adopted.So far from the report of the Temperance committee being weakened by the amendments\u2014 the report was made more explicit and more emphatic-\u2014any one that is acquainted with the mover of the amendments adopted by the conference would anticl- pate this.Instead of the platitude that \u2018the Methodist Church stands for righteousness \u2019 and instead of \u2018urgent entreaty ' to nominate the right kind of candidates, the conference said in terse and vigorous Anglo-Saxon, \u2018That the candidate of no political party who refuses to publicly commit himself to the destruction of the liquor traffic, at the earliest possible moment, should have the support of members of the Methodist Church.\u2019 Your correspondent strikes out the words \u2018 who refuses to publicly commit himself to the destruction of the liquor traffic at the earilest possible moment\u2019 and substitutes \u2018 who refuses to publicly declare himself in favor of prohibition principles\u2019 and then consistently with this transposition declares that my other amendment, substituting the word \u201clegalization ' for \u2018licensed,\u2019 is an endorsa- tion of the license system.It would be difficult to conceive of anything more deceptive than thls transposition, which misrepresents the General Conference.Referring to the substitution of the term \u2018legalized ' for the term \u2018 licensed \u2019 your correspondent says the last change is far more important and significant than it may appear to a hasty reader, and then construes it as an en- dorsation of the licensed system.That is, the Methodist General Conference asks Methodist electors to refuse to vote for a candidate \u2018 who does not publicly commit himself to the destruction of the liquor traffic\u2019 and yet changes the word \u2018licensed ' to \u2018legalized, in order to bolster up the same \u2018traffic\u2019 (for the only liquor traffic we have is a licensed traffic) which it wants to destroy.Now, Mr.Editor, I moved to substitute the word \u2018legalized\u2019 for the word \u2018 licensed,\u2019 as I stated to the Conference, because the phrase, \u2018 The liquor traffic cannot be legalized without sin\u2019 has a history.It has passed into the classics of prohibition literature, and should be quoted correctly.The Court of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States first used the phrase.It was adopted by the General Conference of that church, and subsequently, in 1890, by our awn General Conference, and it seemed undesirable to change a phrase that has done more to arrest the attention of our people to the sinfulness of legalizing the traffic in liquor than any other of human origin.I preferred the term \u2018legalized\u2019 to \u2018 licensed ' because license is but one of several forms of legalization.You may legalize by license, by tax, by permit, by dispensary law, by municipal monopoly, or by mere statutory enactment.After four years\u2019 of deliberation the General Conference reaffirms its conviction that the legalization of the traffic in any form, whether by a license law, full of prohibitions, or otherwise, is sin.If those who condone our iniquitous license systems can take any comfort out of the above position, adopted unanimously by the Methodist General Conference, they are welcome to the com- fort\u2014it is rather cold.WM.KETTLEWELL.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 REGISTRATION OF JUDGMENTS.In a case of Roy vs.Ouimtt, Judge Pagnuelo yesterday decided an important point respecting the registration of judgments.The question raised was whether a Judgment can be registered before the explry of the delays for execution or notwithstanding an appeal.The Court held that such registration could take place, being a conservative proceeding.A contingent right, subject to appeal, is created by the judgment, and the inscription in Review or in Appeal simply suspends the effect of the judgment, but in no way annuls the decision of the court.This is so true that judgments in appeal are either confirmed or replaced by the judgment that should have been rendered in the first instance, but no new judgment proper is actually given.Paris, Ont.FripAy, Octorer 12, ]&n4 pe a BREWERS ORGANIZING IN ANTICIPATION OF A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN FOR PROHIBITION.(From the \u2018 Herald\u2018) A deputation from the Ontario Brewers\u2019 Association walted on the prominent brewers of this province, at the Windsor Hotel yesterday.In the deputation are such men as L.J.Cosgrove and E.O'Keefe, of Toronio, and W.McCarthy and Geo.T.Labatt, of Prescott.They met in convention yesterday, and presented thelr views one to the other on the advisahlity of forming a Quebec brewers\u2019 association, and ultimately a Dominion association.Mr.Cos- grove and Mr.O'Keefe indicated in their conversation that the present activity on their part was to be prepared for any vigorous temperance or prohibition move- | ment that might be sprung on them.\u2019 They explained that our neighbor to the south had a brewers\u2019 association in every state and also a federal association over all.The same principle was desirable in ; Canada.To-day another meeting will be held at the Windsor.A HEBREWS SELF-SACRIFICE.HE WORKED FIFTY HOURS IN ORDER TO OBSERVE THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.KNOCKED OVER A LAMP WHILE ASLEEP.The religious duty of observing Yom Kippur, the Hebrew Day of Atonement, was not an easy one for some of the residents,of the lower down-town wards.The devoût Hebrew is compelled to fast, refrain from work and spend most of the twenty-four hours, beginning at sunset yesterday, in prayer.The Hebrews in the Third Assembly district are very particular in their observance.In the most densely populated tenements, whose denizens work from fourteen to eighteen hours a day, there is a strong feeling of religious duty, and the Hebrew who neglects the most important fast day of the year loses caste among his fellows, and is regarded as a renegade.On the third floor of the tenement house No.&3 Allen street, which is tenanted by the very poorest Hebrews, who are crowded in closely, lives Louis Jacobson, a slipper maker, whose tale 18 such as inflames the minds of Anarchists and makes them denounce the whole economic system.Jacobson has a wife and two children.So closely is he clasped in the clutches of the east side sweaters that by working twenty hours a day, with his wife to help him, he can only just make enough to give his family a meagre living.They exist in squalor and taste meat only rarely, the earnings of the wage worker amounting only to a dollar a day on those days when nature has given him extra vigor, and he has been able to SPORTS AND PANTING, | \u2014 THE TUCKER San], Fon- ALI RiQHT.THEY DEFEAT THE H:6H K°CHET, TO-MORROV 6 GAMES Li 8 FART CYCLING ANT)

arranc- : - in Ottawa to-morrow aft, = produce a very large pile of slippers for his hungry employer.The unfortunate Jacobson saw the approach of Yom Kippur with misgiving.It meant for him a period of enforced idleness and, though while it lasted neither he nor his family could eat anything, he knew that their fasting must be balanced before and after the Day of Atonement by an increased supply of provisions.Looking the conditions squarely in the face, he told his wife that he must increase his working hours from twenty to twenty-four for a space of three days, and do without sleep altogether until he had worked enough slippers to make up for the period during which his religion said that he must not labor.Weary eyed, lean and miserable as he already was, the wretched slipper maker began the frightful ordeal.He sald that in order to provide for his wifg and little ones until the close of Yom Kippur he would eat nothing during the period before the Holy Day.He bezan his fast on Saturday morning when he arose soon aîter daybreak, and took his place at the little bench at which he works.His wife, who had been taking six hours sleep a day, soon arose, and began to help him with his slippers.He labcred all of Saturday, and on the evening of that day his wife went out and bought a few cents\u2019 worth of provisions, herself and her children being put on half rations to help them to tide over the day of prayer and idleness.At night she slept, her husband insisting on her doing so, in order that she might preserve some little vitality with which to do the household work and care for the ill fed youngsters.It was the same on Sunday.Jacobson toiled through the day, pluckily adding to the heap of slippers at his side.but steadily refusing to eat.When he felt sleepy and his hands grew heavy and dropped to his side he prodded himself with his awl and went on sewing and punching at the slippers.He.had worked fifty-two hours at four o'clock yesterday morning, and his hand moved slowly and his eyes kept closing in spite of his strong will power.At that hour his wife was in bed taking her six hours\u2019 rest.It was no use for the pBor slipper maker to stamn his feet.rub his eyes or prod himself with the awl.Soon his head drooped a long way over and struck the chimney of the cheap oil lamp, the rays of which gave him barely light enough to work hy.He overturned the lamp.the ofl ran out on the floor and caught fire.The noise of the fall did not awake Jacobson.but his wife heard it and ran out and founA that his beard and clothes were aflame.She threw a blanket over him and put out the flames.hut her husband's beard was burned half off.When she had put out the fire that had enveloped him she extinguished the oll that burned upon the floor.She saw that it did not come near the pile of slippers which meant so much to the little family.An alarm had been given and the fire department responded.When the firemen got there they found that there was nothing for them to do.Jacobson lnoked queer with his beard half burned off.He did not stop to think of his appearance, however, but returned to his bench and was working at his slippers when the firemen came into the room.\u2018It's all right,\u201d he said, feebly.\u20187 won't go to sleep again.But I must have lost about: twenty minutes.\u2014New York \u2018 Herald,\u2019 Oct.10.Stars and
