Bb.KK, Mounford, a well-known busi- pees man of Boston.Mrs.Mounford committed suicide in the Corona Ho- 1 Montreal, on Tuesday.Her body z at the morgue.The claimants are Mr.Frederick of Boston.Mr.Mounford's in the wholesale dry goods usiness, and Mrs.Ada Smith, 2623a ance street.who says that the-un- \u2018prtunate woman was her sister.She states that Mounford and the dercased were

find witnesses who The sister of Mrs.Ada Smith, who she claims, is the woman who committed suicide in the Corona Hotel.could prove the identity of the woman.Coroner McMahon looks on the whole affair as a case of mistaken identity, and he is backed in this by the assertion of Dr.McTaggart, of ge Provincial staff.who after an examination of a photograph of Als.smith\u2019s sister and the corpse, declares that it is a picture of another woman.Mrs.Smith saw the body for the first time last night.She identified it.as that of her sister, and hearing that Mounford had telegraphed to have the remains sent on to Chicago, decided that she would fight.This morning Mrs, Smith and Mr.Blodgett met in the office of the Coroner.There were hot words, Mr.Blodgett defending his partner and his late wife, against the aspersions that were cast by the statements of the woman.He stated that he had known Mrs.Mounford for about nine years, and.it 1s a curious coincidence that nine years ago, according to Mrs.Smith, her sister ran away with a man, whom she is sure was Mr.Mounford.\u2018I have not seen my sister since she left her husband in Pittsfield, Mass, nine years ago,\u201d said Mrs.Smith this morning.\u2018When she did that, the whole family cast her off, and we have had no communication with her since that time.She was married twice be- {nre this.Her maiden name was Mary Julia Murray, and those initials are the ones on the ring, according to one of the newspapers.She married a man named McEvoy and got a divorce from sim.Then she married a man named L.R.Brown, and she tried to get a eparation from him also, but had no rounds on which to base her plea.she left him to run away with another man.I have forgotten his name, but I am sure that Mounford is the one.She could not marry him, but they have lived together since then.\u2018He shall not have the body if I can help it, unless he produces a marriage certificate.I feel that it would be only adding dishonor to allow him to bury ner, It is only right that her old parents should see her buried in the Uttle gravevard at Pittsfield.I know 7 would comfort them, and I am de- t*rmined to see that it is done.Mr.Blodgett told the c coroner this morning that Mrs.Mounford \u2018had meen in bad health for some time and seemed quite depressed.Her friends 1 Boston had noticed her condition, and among them it was feared that she

here, ther claimed to know of no possible cause that would lead her to suicide.She was well and happy and had not a worry in the world, they said.Members of the firm of Blodgett, Ordway & Webber, the big Kingston street wholesale dry goods dealers, with whom the husband of the dead woman\u2019 was connected, ean throw no light on the mystery.AN have been interviewed.The Blodgett family for generations have held weslth and position in New England society.This fact only adds to the mystery here.Mrs.Mounford just before going to Montreal stayed at the fashionable Hotel Westminster here.She was with her husband.Nothing of moment can be learned at the hotel.Prior to staying at the Boston Hotel she had been a, guest of Mrs.Blodgett at Hillside avenue, Newton, a Boston suburb.Mrs.Blodgett reported her in good health and spirits.AN IRREGULAR TENDER Controllers Must Decide on What Lawyers Would Call \u201cA Nice Point\u201d A peculiar situation arose in \u2018the Board of Control this morning when tenders were being opened for\" a bumping engine to be installed in the Papineau avenue station.In all seven tenders were received, but one from Peacock Bros., an English firm, did not have attached plans according to the specifications of Mr.Janin, superintendent of the city water works, A representative of .one of the other tenderers took exception because of this, but the Peacock Bros.repre- on their way here; that they had not arrived with the tender was merely because.the full specifications had been too long to cable to the head office in England.The tenders were all referred back to Mr.Janin for study, and when he reports the Board will decide upon the technical point.INSTALL LIOHTS AT ONCE M.L.and P.Prepared to Start Necessary Changes in System Immediately Should the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company get the contract for lighting the city, as is recommended by the Board of Control, the work of installing the new lamps demanded will be commenced immediately.But even so it appears all will not be in operation before January or February.The companies making the lamps cannot turn them out rapidly, so that the M.L.H.and P.Co.will not be able to get more than 100 a week, According to Mr.Parent, the city's lighting superintendent, the company will have to install some new machinery, too, if they get the contract.In fact, it appears it will not be possible to tell until the new year exactly what have been the benefits of letting this new ten-year contract.trou \u2014 \u2014\u2014 CONSTABLE REINSTATED.- Man Who Says Policeman Got $50 Because He Kissed Girl Does Not Lay Charge.The policeman suspended because he was accused of trying to extort $50 from a young man whom he.found kissing a young lady has been reinstated.Upon second thought the young man has decided not to lay a charge.Chief Campeau doesn\u2019t know why.There seems to be but two conclusions.Either the young man thinks he got his money's wonth, or else he didn't giye the policeman the $50.Now, Chief Campeau is chivalrous, but\u2014well, he seems to think $50 a lot for a kiss.So he has formed the conclurion that thel constable was guiltless and has recommended his reinstatement.FAIR AT LACHUTE.Argenteuil County Exhibition Proves Success, Lachute, Que.Sept.23\u2014The largest crowd that ever assembled at the Ar- genteuil Agricultural Society's exhibition was the

proved quite popular.The president, Mr.John Hay, M.P.P., and the secretary-treasurer, Mr.Gavin Walker, and the directors, were recipients of many congratulations.The only circumstances to mar the

local controller of Chinese on the Pacific coast.Mr.Bowell is also collector of customs, the Cuties of which post he continues to Mr.Bowell's suspension as controller of Chinese occurred in connection

behind him in this country a certificate of description to find a \u2018double\u2019 in China, who woull come to Canada.The soheme is not one of which will -al- ways work, however, because officials Who are accustomed to Chinese soon learn to tell one from another with almost as much certainty as if they were dealing with people of their own race.C.A.Worsnop, surveyor of the port of Mancouver, was to-day instructed to assume the duties of local controller of Chinese.SHERIFF VISITED JAILS.Found Men\u2019s Prison Congested, and Will Report to Government.Mr.Sheriff Lawrence made an official

\u2018In a recent issue of your paper you published what purports to have taken place in connection with a trip I took from Ottawa to Toronto.t that while thus journeying, the Minister of Rallways discovered that he had mislaid his pass and that he en- .deavored to have the conductor carry him free of cost on the assurance that he was the Minister of Railways.Hold- Ang the view I do and the position I do, T deem it of sufficient importance to \u2018make an-absolute denial of the alleged facts related -in this article.uch an incident never took place on that line, or on any other.Any conductor who carries a passenger at anything less than full fare, without authority, does wrong, and is liable to lose his job, and I assure you that I have never endeavored to place any man in that position.Only on one occasion did I find myself minus my transportation, and with a conductor who did not know me, and then I paid the full fare without intimating that I was Minister of Railways.No doubt, the article was written\u2019 with the utmost friendliness to myself and considered a good joke on one who enjoys a joke, and I am not at all complaining, but I would consider it distinctly dishonest for the head of the Railway Department to ask a.conductor to carry him without the proper authority.ECHO OF G.T.R.STRIKE.Brockville Resident is Charged With Rioting.! Brockville, Sept.23.\u2014Wesley J.Place, charged with taking part in the riot at the G.T.R.depot «sn July 22, during the trainmen\u2019s strike, was given a further hearing at the Police Court.Detective Elrod, of the Thiel agency, and Constable Honrigan swore to certain admissions alleged to have been made to them by the pr-soner.cross-examination it was brought out that many of these admissions, when investigated, were found to be groundless.Several other witnesses were called, but their testimony was weak.At the request of the defence another remand was granted until Oecteber 5.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHAIRMAN SELECTED.For Maintenance of Way Board of Conciliation, Ottawa, Sept.23.\u2014It is announced by the Labor Department that Judge Mec- Gwen, of Peel County, has heen appointed chairman of the board of conciliation which will deal with the differences between the Canadlan Pacific, Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific and their maintenance of way employees.The railway would be represented on the board by Mr.F.H, McGuigan, and the men by Mr.W.T.Lee, of Toronto.The board will deal with each rallway separately.\u2018 \u2018 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MOUNT ROYAL POLICEMEN.A citizen, signing himself \u2018Evicted, writes:\u2014'Last evening (Thursday) between 8 and 9 o'clock, I took a walk and viewed the destruction of the grand Eucharistic altar on Fletcher's Field.Then I walked by the edge of the plantation towards Pine ave.Down a bit from the place where the path goes under the elevated railway track, I saw a policeman behind a tree then a second policeman creeping on hands and knees, then a third man, without cap, lying flat and looking round the root of a tree.All that I could see was a good-looking pair, young lady and gentleman, sitting on a seat.They rose from the seat and left after I passed.Then I paused to see what the policeman would do.The big one from behind the tree came and asked what I was standing there for.1 asked if I had no business to stand there.He said \u2018No, you have no business here after hours.You told that couple we were watching them.You'd better get away from here, or we'll make a job of you.We want no reporters here;

stock will again go to 160 or over on this movement it is Impossible to sav: but, if it does, it will probably be public speculation that will put it there, as some insiders are reported to have sold

Amalgamated .\u2018800\u2019 BOND ISSUE IS NEW VENTURE IN FINANCES Contemplated issue of $3,600,000 new bonds by the \u2018Soo\u2019 Railway is of considerable interest as being among Li first of the attempts of the railways to try out the bond market in a small way on the quite generally reported improvement in demand for high grade issues.Outstanding \u2018Soo\u2019 line bonds are held generally by the conservative class of investors, large blocks being found among the holdings of practically all important insurance companies, and considerable amounts among holdings of foreign institutions.All are guaranteed as to interest, by endorsement by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which controls the line through stock ownership.The \u2018Soo\u2019 total outstanding bonded debt, as of June 20th, 1909\u2014the latest figures now available\u2014was $56,895,000.made up as follows: $44,891,000 first consolidated 4s.; $8,204,000 first mortgage 4s.of Minneapolis, Sault Ste.Marie & Atlantic Railway; $3,500,000 second mortgage 4s., and $300,000 Min-~ neapolis & Pacific Railway first 4s.Indirectly, the \u2018Soo\u2019 line's forthcoming bond issue calls some attention to Wisconsin Central's financial position, especially in that practically ever since the passing of the control of the latter road to the \u2018Soo\u2019 line last year there \u2018has been considerable talk of contemplated expenditures on the new acquisition in order to bring it up to Canadian Pacific standard.Just previous to the purchase Wisconsin Central directors had authorized a.new refunding mortgage of $60,- 000,000, under which it was anticipated that \"bonds to between $10, 000,000 and $15,000,000 would bé issued before the end of the year for improvements.Only $2,500,000 was disposed of, and was entirely takén in London, so that there is no current quotation for the new bonds in the markets: on this side of the Atlantic.Wisconsin Central's two important outstanding issues aré the first

Nova Beéotia Steel and Coal Company, arrived in the city last evening from the East, after an extended trip of inspection to the properties of the Sto- tia Corporation in Nova cotia and Newfoundland.The Senator in discussing his ob- servatièns at the different lants, stated .o the \u2018Witness\u2019 that he was delighted with the presént perfection and development of the several Plants and collieries under the management of the company.\u2018I always antici- Senator Jaffray.pated, he said, : \u2018that the Nova Sco- tia Corporation would prove a big factor in the industrial life of the Maritime Provinces, if not the whole of Canada, and my visit has certainly proven these contentions.At Wabana I was given my greatest surprise, as regards the unlimited supplies of iron ore, while the appliances for mining In vogue is, to say thé least, perfection.The amount of ore in sight is calculated at one hundred million tons, while miles of ore area gre yet to be developed.In all, the romMpany has thirty-five square miles, and it will take at least one hundred years to remove the ore that a visitor to \u2018he mines can see.\u2018The Wabana deposits are certainly a wonderful asset to Scotia.and with these magnificent areas the company is secure in its requirements in this re- spent.\u2019 Speaking of the Scotia collieries at Sydney mines the Senator remarked that these contain a wonderful deposit of the highest grade of coal, in fret like the Wabana mines, it was impossible to make an estimate of thé unlimit d supply of coal, and it was sufficient to say that as the work of development progressed, the greater in volume and the more valuable these properties would become.\u2018The plant at Trenton, where the steel implements receive their finishing touches, 1s one of the most mcdern of its kind on the continent.It 1s perfect in every detail, and each month, practically, sees additional improvements, and extensions which will grow continuously until thé Nova Scotia stee' plant will rate, in my opinion, as onè of the most modern in use to-day.Talking about tlie finance of the Nova Scotia Corporation, Senator Jaffray said that everything in this respect was highly satisfactory and sound.\u2018In fact, hé remarked, \u20181 am astonished that the officials of the company have been able to accomplish so much in the short time with so little money at their command.The management has certa:nly accomplished great things, and, In my opinion, there will be no limit to their future operations.In such mon as Messrs, Harris, Cantley, Chambers and Brown, the Scotia Company has officials of practical experience who have by their person, enterprise and ability built up the company to its present g.gantic proportion.\u2018Indeed,\u2019 smilingly conciuded the Senator, \u2018I am proud to be a director of stich a corporation.Just watch Scotia grow.\u2019 Wire Brokerage Firm Goes Out of Business Buffalo, N.Y.Sept.23.-Announce- ment is

met at 3.30 o'clock to discuss definite plans regarding the much-discussed union of these two concerns.: : There was a great deal of detail, and preliminary work to be accomplished In carrying out such an undertaking, and with their legal representatives the members of the special committees appointed to look into the matter will .endeavor to arrive at some definite basis of agreement.If successful in doing s0, a report will be issued immediately to the shareholders, placing before them the facts as they are to | be dealt with in bringing about the desired déal, \u2026 \"Previous to the conference, several of the members stated to the \u2018Witness\u2019 that it was impossible to say what the final outcome would be, but the best-informed authority on the \u2018street\u2019 claims to see one gigantic \u2018merger between all the different com- paniés as struggle.The claims of the: Canadian Power interests will, they say, be too strong tc be overlooked as regarding M.S.R.holdings, and at any rate Canadian Power people appear to have a good case for presentation when thé psychological moment arrives.Purchase of Cheese by Local Firms a result of the present The

Lake Superior Corporation, a- a result of the remarkable fine financial report.issued recently by the president, Mr.Drummonod, of Montreal, in which the finances of the big concern are reported to be in a very satisfactory condi- dion.The announcement is made that many inquirieg for the common stock which is as vet unlisted, are being made by London capitalists, and offers to purchase large blocks of Lake Superior have been made.Those who are close to the management state that the stock iv closely held, and that unless a much higher offer is made than it is quoted for at present, there is not much danger of the stock changing hands.It is likely that Lake Superior will be listed in the near future on the United States and Canadian stock exchanges.To-day's quotations were for the common, 21

Domodossola, Italy, Sept.23.\u2014 To George Chavez, the Peruvian aviator, belongs the honor of being the first to fly across the Alps.The - daring feat was accomplished to-day in an attempt to win the prize of $20,000 offered by the Italian Aviation Society, of Milan, for a flight from Brig,\u201d Switzerland, to.Milan.) Chavez, however, was unable to complete the trip, having sustained painful injuries when he alighted here.His machine was overturned and he was buried in the wreckage.It is not believed, however, that his injuries are serious.As the airman was seen to be slowly descending a great crowd gathered.Slowly and gracefully he neared the surface, and was only about thirty feet above the ground when a gust of wind caught and overturned the machine.It fell heavily carrying the aviator beneath it.Chavez was pinned under the motor and painfully hurt.He had fainted on striking the ground, and was bleeding profusely when released from the wreckage.The machine was ruined.Weymann, the American aviator, first attempted the flight, leaving the tableland at Drig at 1.10 o\u2019clock this afternoon.Later word was received here that he had descended after being in the air four minutes.The weather for the competition was excellent.The morning opened clear on the surface and the haze that had gathered on the mountain tops was early blown away.By noon the wind had died out.Brig, Switzerland, Sept.23.\u2014 Mr.Weymann, the aviator, started on another attempt to cross the Alps at 3.43 this afternoon.Chavez determined to make an attempt and rose to a height estimated at nearly 7,000 feet.It was known that it would be necessary for him to attain nearly this altitude to clear the Simplon Pass, the summit of which rises 6,592 feet.He maintained apparently this altitude for at least a half-hour, and followed over the road built by Napoleon in 1800, over the Simplon Pass.He accomplished the eight miles that brought him over the top of Simplon Pass, and then sailed gracefully over the eighteen miles down to Domodossola.Arriving at Domodossola he had left the hardest part of his journey hehind him, having escaped the high peaks and the jumble of rocky gorges on this side of the summit.The remaining distance to this city offers less difficulty, but takes the aviator over Lake Maggiore, and a succession of plains to the goal.The distance from Brig, Switzerland, to Milan is seventy-five miles, and the prize was for the aviator who should make the first flight, starting from a tableland 900 feet above sea level, at the head of the Rhone Valley near Brig, Switzerland.In addition to reaching a height that would bring him over the Simplon summit, and in doing which he must suffer from the cold, the aviator was required to guide his frail craft over wide \u2018chasms, of Ysefte, \u2018where a safe descent would be quite impossible and an accident must mean almost certain death.Aviation experts had predicted freely that the only alternative to a successful flight across the Alps was the death of the aviator.Signal fires along the Napoleon road marked the way as far as Domodos- sola, and the rest of the course was indicated by flags and buoys anchored on Lake Maggiore.The summit of the Pass at Monscera was Illuminated with oxhydrique lights, and a captive balloon showed the finish line at the aerodrome here.Henry Weymann was unable to reach the summit of Simplon Pass and turned back to Brig landing 27 minutes from the time that he had started.Miss Marjorie Seddon,

T.Lonergan, of the \u2018Gazette;\u2019 J.S.Brierley, of the \u2018Herald;\u2019 Cahill, of the \u2018Tribune;\u2019 A.Fauteux, F.Pelletier and A.Cote, of the Presse,\u201d L.J.Tarte, J.E.Tarte, E.Robillard, A.Roy and O.Belanger, of the \u2018Patrie;\u2019 J.Black, of the \u2018Standard; Tancrede Marcil, M.de la Bnuere and L.P.Delongchamps, of the \u2018Devoir; J.Begin, of the \u2018Croix:\u2019 D.De- rome, of the \u2018Witness; W.O.Farrell and F.Rinfret, of the \u2018Canada; L.Trepanier, of the \u2018Action Sociale.\u2019 Bishop Racicot, Rev.Father Le- picier, of Rome, and several canons of the palace were also present.After the ~loth had- ben removed, His Grace audressed his guests in the happy mood so familiar to him.Opening his remarks with the above-men- tioned quotation, he called the special attention of Father Lepicier to such a pleasant and extraordinary gathering, which he would no doubt witness in RO other place, and added that the Holy Father would be Pleased to hear of such good feeling existing among all classes of the community in the mmeiropolis of Canada.Continuing, His Grace expressed his personal ap- Preciation of such a state of things, which would go so far towards pro- Mmoting the interests of the city and the Dominion at large.He then proceeded to thank the press for the help! given him in the preparation of the congress, and the careful and sympa- the course of the proceedings.He attributed the success of the congress in a large measure to the efforts of the press.The journalists had gone into the work with such good will that it would be impossible to say who published the best reports.Those remarks applied to the local press in general, but he wished to specially emphasize the position taken by the newspapers representing another faith.He would not say the Protestant! newspapers, for lie did not like the word Protestant, but the journals representing a creed other than his own, had taken an attitude of friendship and sympathy which he could never forget, and for which he mever could thank them too much.This sympathy was unanimous in the local press, and if a few unpleasant remarks were noticed, they came from outride.His Grace then touched upon the somewhat unpleasant incident resulting from words pronounced in a pulpit before the opening of the congress, declaring: that those utterances had nothing whatever to do with the offi- dial organization, and he proceeded to thank his other separated breth- ern, outside the press, who had shown great sympathy, furnished material help and placed their residences at his disposal, mentioning among ethers Lord Strathcona and Sir Hugh Graham.The address concluded with a few ords p°f friendly advice tending to \u2018help the press in the great opportunity bifered it fo teducats and guide the public.He asked his friends of the pen not to forget charity, and as Te- gards accounts of crime to be prudent in how they are related.Care should also be taken in the character of the advertisements printed.Prudence was also desirable in printing foreign information on the subject of religion.It was difficult to manage a large mewspaper, but if the papers could not agree on matters of religion, they could all agree on such things as temperance and morality.The kind addresr of the Archbishop was much applauded, In rising to reply, Mr.Kydd, managing editor of the \u2018Gazette,\u2019 assured His Grace that the differences in, re- digion lin a city like Montreal were not so important as were the points of agreement.Such a celebration as the Eucharistic Congress would make all classes respect religion more.The Caitholic would feel stronger in his faith, and the mon-Catholic would, \u2018have more consideration for the faith of his neighbor.After remarking that Montrealers of different faiths knew and respected each other better than was the case in many ether cities, Mr, Kydd added that if the wise rulers of the Catholic Church should decide to bestow upon His Grace greater honors and greater duties, all sections of the community would give their approval.The remark was warmly applauded, after which Mr.J.8.Brierley, man-; aging editor of the \u2018Herald,\u2019 offered his congratulations on the success of the congress.Mr.Brierley sald that the harmonious way it had been conducted, would have a widespread effect upon the country.The recent congress would produce a lasting im-l pression here- and elsewhere as a moral uplift.\u2018We have come out of the congress,\u2019 said Mr.Brierley, \u2018with, better feelings of comradeship, and it will have a moral effect on Catholics and upon our people.\u2019 After Mr.Derome, of the \u2018Witness,\u201d and Mr.Fauteux, of the \u2018Presse,\u2019 and Mr.L.J.Tarte, of the \u2018Patrie,\u201d had, spoken, Father Lepicier, professor of theology at the College of the Propaganda, Rome, was cal#d upon by His Grace to say a few words.The learned professor did so both in French and in English.In the course of his memarks he said: \u2018Tt has often.been stated that the press ds the founth estate, but I regard you as the first estate, as you give a note of guidance to the world.I regard a Journalist as a priest, not only of news, but as one who may point out a higher standard of life.The splendid English of Father Le- picier was most favorably commented upon, and the journalists were informed that ive also finds himself # \u2018 at tome fin the German, Ital- lan and other modern languages, as well as in Greek and Latin.After the banquet the guests passed a most agreeable hour of famillar conversation ih the mecreation room of the palace, after which the party.broke up, every one.carrying away a most pleasant Temembrance of His Grace's courteous hospitality.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TO RELIEVE COURT.With a view to help relieve the congestion of business in the Superior Court, a

British explosives expert, who is in Canada at the request of the Canadian Government to make a re- \u2018port on the handling of explosives upon which legislation will be based next session, met a number -of representatives of companies manufacturing explosives in room sixteen of the Parliament Buildings this morning, and outlined to them the chief points of his report.He stated that he recommends the establishment of a testing station at Ottawa, at which samples of all explosives manufactured or sold in Canada will be tested.He pointed out that the present regulations governing the manufacture were exceedingl, loose.There were differences between control of the Federal Government, \u2018the Provincial Governments and the Municipal äuthorities as proposed by his réport.He under- .stood that the ,forthepfning legislation.;would prevent the ) establishment of explosive manufacturing industry until a federal license had been obtained.The manufac- {torfles would.be inspected regularly by government officials, and these precautions would guard as: far as possible against the disastrous accidents which had become somewhat: common of late.Dr.\u2018Eugene Haanel, Dominion

Was Found.Crewless Under Full Sail, (New York \u2018Times.\u2019 Among all the tales of the sea, in factor fiction, the mystery of the \u2018Marie Seleste\u2019 remains unique.The main facts of the case, often repeated, have been speculated upon for forty years without reaching a satisfactory solution.It will be recalled that the ship was found off the Azores in 1872 desertedi by all her crew and apparently in perfect condition.AH that is known of this bafiling case may be quickly told.She had sailed from New York on Nov.7, commanded by Capt.Beaja- min 8.Briggs.The captain's wife and one small child were aboard.The ship carried a cargo of petroleum, and this was found-to be intact when the deserted brig was boarded.She was only twenty-eight days out of New York when discovered, indicating that her voyage across the Atlantic had been prosperous.The obvious theory .that the ship {had been deserted in a storm would not seem tenable because the rigging did not indicate rough weather, and everything about the boat was found to be remarkably shipshape.In the cabin a sewing machine, used by the captain's wife, was found with a piece of sewing still held beneath the needle.The toys which the captain's child had been playing with were scattered about the floor.The captain's gold watch hung beside the cabin clock.Had there been mutiny the sppear- ance of the cabin would have been different.A careful examination of the vessel failed to reveal any blood stains or signs of violence of any kind, so that the theory of pirates could not be sustained.Although the early history of the \u2018Marie Celeste\u2019 has been so wideln published and discussed, the second hapter of her remarkable \u2018history, which is no less dramatic, is almost unknown.On à subsequent trip the ship was deliberately loaded with a variety of shoddy merchandise, billed at exaggerated prices, and deliberately run ashore and wrecked in the Caribbean Sea in order to collect the insurance.! This remarkable sea mystery was discovered and proved in court by Arthur N.Putnam, a New York appraiser, who is «a veritable Sherlock Holmes in ferreting out sea mysteries, Mr.Putnam conceived this suse picions from some letters relative to the insurance which passed through \u2018his \u2018hands.Although the case was so rare as to seem improbable, Mr.Putnam made the trip to the scene of the alleged shipwreck under very trying circumstances, donned a diving outfit, and explored the wreck himself, and se=~ cured valuable evidence by interviewing natives and local officials in this remote section who had been in any way connected with the crime.From these investigations Mr.Putnam prepared his case, returned to New York, and started a search for the original crew, then widely scattered.Through indefatigable efforts the captain and crew were finally rounded up and tried.It was a clear case of barratry, as developed in the trial The \u2018Marie Celeste\u2019 had been loaded with a remarkable variety of worthless stores.There were many barrels of fish spoiled long past eating.There were cases of wine which had been long discarded.The ship was piled up on a reef some distance off shore \u2018on a perfectly clear day, with.the sea ynysually calm.Tt.was shown in court that the mate, whd was at the wheel, reported to the captain several times that they were off their course.The captain told him to obey orders and keep quiet.When the ship finally struck the captain ordered the crew to cut away the mast, to lend dramatic effect to the shipwrecked story, while grog was handed out freely to all on board.Thereupon the crew quietly rowed ashore and reported the loss to the authorities.The scene of the shipwreck was well chosen.It was extremely remote, and necessitated a journey by horseback of several days from the nearest port.Mr.Putnam made the trip, neverthe- tess, in running down his clues, and by very skillful detective as well as legal work perfected his case.In the end the jury disagreed because one man could not see his way to imposing the death sentence upon the captain.As to the original mystery of the \u2018Marie Celeste,\u201d no one is perhaps better prepared than Mr.Putnam, from his long experience and ingenuity in seafaring matters, to draw conclu- beth G., eldest daughter of Mr, and Mrs.G.B.Fotheringham.sions from this very baffling evidence.He discards the theory of mutiny, ST.JAMES WE HAVE RESUMED OUR SEMI-WEEKLY EXCURSIONS TO PLATTSBURG.This season of the year Is most delightful for short tours.MOTOR SERVICE BEDROOM heel;

standing timber shall not be used to build fires.Tires must not be lit on the leaves; all combustible material must be cleared away five feet from fire.A sandy beach or dry creek bed is the safest fireplace.Fires must be thoroughly quenched, not covered up or stamped out.The ground beneath should be saturated with water.Fires must not be started against stumps, trees or near piles of logs or brush.\u2018Fire other than those mentioned above are absolutely prohibited.Caution must be exercised against allowing fires to originate from use of firearms, cigars and pipes.\u2014\u2018Receation.\u2019 \u2019 pute BELLEVILLE BOARD.Belleville, Sept.23.\u2014At the meeting of the Belleville cheese board held here to-day there was 2424 boxes offered of white and 10 colored.Sales, 825 at 11 1-8¢, 795 at 11 1-16, and 830 at\u2019 Îlc.Balance unsold, strictly adhered to by campers and: KINGSDALE PARK PROPERTY To any one acquainted with the value of real estate in the West End, the announcement appearing in another portion of this issue of the sale of lots in the above property, will doubtless be of exceptional interest.The location is of the best, and this new portion of the City is being rapidly filled up.As the number of lots for sale are limited, any intending purchaser would do well to get their alln- cation at once, as naturally the best are first chosen.PERSONALS Mr.G.W.Stephens and Mrs.Ste- DPhens returned last evening from their country residence at Lac Leclaire.The marriage of Miss Mary Lennox Ewing, daughter of Mr.and Mrs.William Ewing, to Mr, Spencer Smith, of New York, is announced for September 28th.Archbishop Bruchesi will leave in a few days for New York to attend tho consecration of St.Patrick's Cathedral at which Cardinal Vannutelli will preside.The Rev.Father Luke Callaghan, for some time past attached to the Chancellor's Office at the Archbishop's.Palace, has been appointed pastor of St.Michael's Church.Dr.Robert Wilson and Mrs.Wilson sail for Liverpool by the \u2018Dominion\u2019 to-morrow.Dr.Wilson will do some original research work in Europe, and intends visiting Egypt before returning.| The marriage of Miss Leslie Smith, of St.John, N.B., daughter of Mrs.George Smith, to Mr.Allan Magee, of Montreal, son of Mr.Justice and Mrs.Magee, of Toronto, will take place in St.John, on October 18th.The engagement has been announe- ed in Winnipeg of Miss Alice Schmiat, B.A, eldest daughter of Danish Vice- Consul and Mrs.Schmidt, to the Rev.D.T.Parker, B.A.rector of st, Johm\u2019s Church, Elgin, Man.The marriage will take place on September 28th, The Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux, Post- master-General, who is at present in London, will sail for South Africa on \u2018October 8th.He will accompany the Duke of Connaught, and they will imake a stop at St.Helena.Mrs.Le- \u2018mieux, who will also be of the party, \u2018will leave for London next week.1ne Postmaster-General is expected to re- -turn to Canada by the middle of January next.- Sir Robert Perks who is at the Windsor, will leave for Ottawa on \u2018Monday, where he will have an interview with Sir Wilfrid.Laurjer.Sir Robert will go to New York on Wednesday evening and sail for home on the SS.\u2018Baltic\u2019 on Saturday next.The following gentlemen were Introduced on Change at the Board of Trade yesterday:\u2014Messrs.T.J.Ren- ton, Toronto, by D.Plewes;

called to lives having been saved by the presence of mind and skill of the motorman on our street cars: and there are few who cruld not testify to personal knowledge of simi- | lar instances.The truth is that some people are so careless or so callous and others so wilful in putting themselves in the way of the street trafic that at times only what would seem to be a special interposition of providence suffices to save them from injury or death.The ubiquitous child, careless of his whereabouts, or daring to the last degree, is a source of constant fear and worry to the motorman.Many of the motormen, probably the majority, are solicltous in the extreme to avoid doing harm.Many find the conditions describeu too wearing, and some after an accident have to seek some other Dosi- tion of less strain.The other side of the picture is insisted on so often\u2014 that of the inconsiderate, unskilful, or callous motorman\u2014that it is only fair to show this side now and then.perte Those wh» fight for reforms, and even that the mere law may be Kept in the case of some vices, may expect abuse and even persecution.Mr.John P.Cross, of Narragansett, iz having just such an experience.He, with Mr.James S.G.Ivins, of New York, had the courage to assault the vice of gambling which had been \u2018throned for \u2018a decade and arrayed in the royal \u2018purple of popularity at the fashlon- \u2018able resort of Narragansett Pier,\u201d as one writer put it.Messrs.Cross and Ivins are young men, just admitted to the bar, but we read: \u2018Fighting \u2018difficulties seemingly insurmountable, \u2018with the police against them, with \u2018the merchant and the politician and \u2018the leaders of society, and even the preachers (two leading preachers were §0), aligned in sympathy or\u2019 in \u2018influence with the notable gambling \u2018dens of the place, these dauntless \u2018young attorneys assumed the respon- \u2018sibility of cleaning tip the bad repute \u2018and re-establishing order in the his- \u2018toric old resort.The work they did \u2018and the things they dared, and the \u2018fidelity and courage they displayed \u2018would make an epic of the law.\u201d In the end, they won, routing the gamblers and their powerful allies, and driving the corrupting dice and cards out of the most notorious fashionable gambling place in New England.But now we are told that the disorderly elements Mr.Cross routed are trying to boycott him and drive him out of town, and an appeal is being made for every good man .n Narragansett to | stand by him with money and moral PETER\u2019 support.Mr.Cross is ot the sait of the earth, and Narragansett should | tbe proud of him.: \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Dr.H.W.Wiley, chief of the United States Bureau of Chemistry, says that we are all entitled to good health for seventy years, and that that is much more important than that a few of us should live to be a hundred years old.\u2018It is important that everybody \u2018should live and live In the possession \u2018of good health.Good health meals \u2018power to do something.There is a \u2018great money logs in ill health.Sut \u2018the money loss is nothing.We do not \u2018wish te be healthy in order to make \u2018more money, but to be of greater use \u2018to others and to the community.We \u2018wish to be in a greater degree a na- \u2018tion of happy, useful citizens, enjoy- \u2018ing.life and the use of our health\u2019 Dr.Wiley reveals the superiority of the Japanese soldier which lay in his \u2018wonderful health.Whereas other nations count a third of their armies as always unfit for service on account of ill-health the Japanese could always count on their full strength, and this because \u2018they sent bacteriologists and \u2018chemists in advance of their armies, \u2018and:every spring or source of water \u2018thät was impure was marked as un- \u2018drinkable, and this simple safeguard \u2018and the same thoughtful care in their \u2018hospitals reduced thelr sick list to al- \u2018most nothing.\u2019 Some day, the chief problem for study will be how to prevent people from dying from avoid- able- diseases; that they shall come to their end naturally and not be cut off unnecessarily.Cast your eyes over the list of deaths published in the newspapers, advises Dr.Wliley, and note how few of them are seventy years of age; how many of them have died from avoidable diseases which were traceable directly to the neglect of the community, \u2018We must confess,\u2019 concludes Dr.Wiley, \u2018that we are \u2018homicides, and that most of us die \u2018from \u2018our environment.We have reached the age of conservation, he says, and the most preclous asset of the nation is its health.\u2018Let us cause \u2018that day to come when no Infant \u2018shall die of malnutrition.Let us \u2018have gray hair among us.Old people \u2018are blessings to every one, and we \u2018cannot do without their love and \u2018wisdom.The greatest foe to all physical ills ig fresh air; it is the chief insurer of long, healthy life.a It was seventy-eight years ago on Wednesday since Sir Walter Scott died, and the quotation from Carlvle is being repeated, that \u2018when he de- \u2018parted he took a man\u2019s life with him.\u2019 As a writer he was incomparable in his fleld, which was largely a field of his own creation; and as a man of character, gone who rose superior to defeat, he has been the inspiration of many thousands.Through the failure of the firm of James Ballantyne & Company, in which he was a partner, Sir Walter in 1826 found himself burdened with a debt of over six hundred thousand dollars, which he heroically set himself to pay off without aid.The story has often been told how he set.to.work, and how he turned his pen to every possible task of profit, making during the first two years after the failure the enormous sum of two hundred thousand dollars.How he bore the loss of his wife, increasing infirmittes of his own, including strokes of paralysis, all \u2018this may be read in the admirable pages of Lock- hart.He was in his life what he told Lockhart to be\u2014\u2018A good man, and those who are best acquainted with his life and works and are best qualified to judge, esteem Sir Walter Scott one of the noble spirits in the world\u2019s history, and one of the greatest - writers of the English language.Of hig untiring industry this remark ®f a student, watching the movement of his hand from an opposite window, has often been admired: \u2018It never stops; page after page is \u2018finished aud thrown upon that heap \u2018off manus:iipt, and still it goes on \u2018unwearied, and so it will be, till \u2018candles are brought in, and God only \u2018knows how long after that.\u201d Quickly as he worked \u2018the stamp of his genius\u2019 was, nevertheless, on all that he did, and to his everlasting credit it is true that by his writings \u2018no mind was \u2018ever poisoned; no soul wag ever con- \u2018taminated.\u201d He was pure-minded and his work was pure.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014tt\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A LIQUOR VICTORY.The failure of the cases introduced by the Dominion Alliance against the thirty liquor sellers for infractions of |.the license law will be a disappointment to the friends of law and order, who hoped that at length something definite could have been done to teach a lesson to those who shamelessly and persistently violate the laws which all recognize as necessary to curb and control a traffic which\u2014to use altogether too tains elements of extreme peril to the welfare of the community.It is to be noted that these laws are praised by the liquor men themselves.The \u2018Licensed Victuallers\u2014 who for the most part do not sell \u2018victuals\u2019 (food necessary for life) at all-\u2014hardly ever meet but they praise the license laws and -assure the government and the public generally that of all things and people whom they hate \u2018their indignation burns hottest against the violators of these laws.They have even professed friendship for the temperance people, and some of thelr members have asked \u2018why should these latter be so ex- \u2018treme\u2014let good men, both total ab- * stainers and ligquor-sellers, unite for \u2018the promotion of \u201ctemperance\u201d?When, however, work is required for the enforcement of the law one might as well expect blood from a stone as any sort of aid from these \u2018temperance advocates.\u201d They suddenly become a solid unit against law enforcement, and their wealth is at the disposal of the accused.We have learned not to look for law enforcement from the authorities who are sworn to enforce the li- censé laws as well as the other legislation on the statute books.They not only do not act, but lay the whole onus on private prosecution.The enforcement | is left in the hands of voluntary asso- ciations of citizens, who have nothing | but the welfare of society at heart, and moderate language\u2014con who sacrifice time and money to make thelr country a safer and saner place in which to live; yet when they do act they are openly scorned: as interferers.In some places every obstacje is thrown in the way of those who are trying to get the laws obeyed.- The Rev.J.A.Smith, the national grand chief templar of Canada, who visited Montreal last Wednesday, said that the dotting of \u2018I's\u2019 -and the crossing of \u2018t's\u2019 was becoming an important issue in making out liquor summonses in Nova Scotia.Officials of temperance organizations have frequently been snubbed and insulted, not only by the lawyers who: have the task of defending the liquor men, but by those who are supposed to hold the scales of justice impartially.Every step in the endeavor to enforce the law is made an almost insuperable task.So difficult is it made to obtain legal evidence that one would imagine that the liquor sellers were poor, persecuted innocents, or \u2018babes- in-the-wood,\u2019 and that the temperance people were the unscrupulous 'wicked uncles\u2019 of the fairy tales.It is a matter of common notoriety that drink is sold all over the city during prohibited hours.Many back doors and side entrances can be seen opening and shutting quite publicly on Sundays.In many hotels and saloons liquor can be obtained at any hour, day or night.These facts agitated in the City Coun- cll several years ago were among the very first that went to provoke the great outburst of public sentiment for municipal reform that finally swept a corrupt and corrupting gang of aldermen into oblivion.The evil was abated for a time, but is well known to be rampant again.Definite proofs, concrete cases, precise instances, ironclad téstimony is demanded.It is a necessity that many temperance people regret, as except they are men of the highest probity they are liable to be.bought up by a trade which of course denounces the process as blackmail.Corruption in such cases is practically Impossible to prove, and whenever it proves effective there is great rejoicing among the liquor fratérnity over the supposed defect of the friends of public decency.The \u2018Licensed Vic- tuallers,\u2019 and all their following, may as well know, however, that every victory of this sort only piles up wrath against them.A couple of years ago the corrupt element in the City Coun- cll -was as arrogant and as satirical, and as confident of the security of their position as the liquor men are to-day.But the security proved a snare, and they went down to defeat all the more utter and complete for their aforetime arrogant defiance.That it will be the same with the liquor traffic and all its friends is certain.Sooner or later\u2014more likely \u2018sooner\u2019 than \u2018later\u2014the great work of education which is being conducted in this city and province will have its natural result.BOY SCOUT SOCIETY, Discussed by Sir Robt.Baden- Powell With Mr.Roosevelt, oC RL YEE New\u2019 York September 23 \u2014Visitors were numerous this.forenoon at Mr.Roosevelt's city\u2019 headquarters.His non-political - visitors included Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the British soldier; Ernest Thompson-Seton and Dan Beard.These three came together and urged upon Mr.Roosevelt the importance .of the \u2018Boy Scouts of America\u2019 movement, in which they are interested.General Baden-Powell said that they were assured of the former president's co-operation in furthering the aims of the society, which were primarily educational and not military, contrary to the general impression.: - TRAIN WAS WRECKED.Four Trainmen and Several Pass .sengers Killed, Denver, Col.,

Against Company.Claiming that the Montreal \u2018Star\u2019 Publishing Company has caused it to suffer by reason of articles it has published, the Montreal Street Railway Company has entered action for $100,000 damages.The \u2018Papers were filed in the Superior Court yesterday afternoon.In thelr statement of claim the Street Railway, through their attorneys, Messrs.Perron, - Taschereau, Rinfret and Genest, urges that for a long time, but particularly since January last, the \u2018Star\u2019 has conducted a campaign against it, and has distorted facts, printed unfair head lnes, seeking thus to bring the City Council and the public.generally to believe that the administration.of the company are careless, and are thereuy endangering the public.Especial ex- \u2018ception ig taken to statements made editorially in the \u2018Star's\u2019 issue of \u2018Wednesday evening.September 21st.Passages from this are quoted as follows: \u2018The existence of carelessness, of the lack of proper appliances or of dangerously arranged schedules, has already this year cost more lives than it is pleasant to contemplate.\u2019 \u2018The fact that the Montreal Street Railway kills between three and four times as many people as the street railways of other cities of the same size constitutes a prima facie case for the prosecution.\u2019 \u2018It may safely be taken for granted that there will be at least an attempt to do so (give an explanation).Anything along this line will be awaited with some eagerness by the average citizen whose natural curiosity as to why his life is being disproportionate- y aéndangerea has never been grati- ed.\u2018If in future it becomes no safer to use streets on which the Street Railway has the privilege of running its cars the terror should at least be shorn of its mystery.\u2019 Summing up, the statement of claim urges that this article would tend to incite hostility to the company, ue- stroying that confidence and good will which it needs to fulfil its contract.It also claims the company has been willing to give all possible information regarding accidents, and concludes with the statement that though a reporter of the \u2018Star\u2019 heard the evidence in all those cases in which the coroner laid the blame for the accident on the victim, the paper persisted in its attacks upon the company.- EXTENDS CHOLERA ZONE Epidemic Causes

which were a number of priests who attended thé Eucharistic Congress at Montreal, and were on their way back to France, went to the French line pier this morning a few minutes before the sailing of the 'Lorraine\u2019 for Havre.Moody and Leeson detectives of the Central Office, assigned to pier duty, saw B.J.Jack- _son, a negro porter, pick up a wallet.The porter did not look as though he were trying to hide the fact that he had it, and consented to having its contents examined when the detectives approached him.; In the purse were four francs, a money order francs, ninety dollars in American money, and a steamship ticket for Havre, made out in the name of Mgr.Fouchet, Bishop of Orleans.The detectives found the Bishop aboard and their information was his first intimation that he had lost anything.He gave the porter five dollars for his honesty and was willing to pay the detectives, but they would take no money.When the Bishop heard that Leeson\u2019s wife and daughter had died recently, he said that he would offer a mass for them or the vessel tomorrow.BRAKEMAN KILLED.hundred for 10,000 Smith\u2019s Falls Resident Fell Between Freight Cars.Smith's Falls,

WESTERN TOUR.A Cheerful Report to Carry Back to the Shareholders in England.Though the scarcity of labor may delay completion of the G.T.P.in the West, its future cannot be too highly estimated.That is the opinion of Mr.Alfred W.Smitherg, chairman of the Grand Trunk Railway board, who returned to Montreal last night from Prince Rupert, whither he had accompanied Mr.C.M.Hays and party, on a tour of inspection.Their journey took them over many thousands of miles starting with that section of the G.T.P.from Superior MR.ALFRED W.SMITHERS.Junction to Winnipeg.In spite of muskegs Mr.Smithers believes there Will be little delay and he praises Mr.J.D.McArthur the contractor.The fine station which is being built at Winnipeg jointly by the C.N.Rand the G.T.P.will be finished next year, and close to it the G.T.P.have purchased a site for a large hotel.Great gratification was expressed by Mr.Smithers over the development of the road from Winnipeg to Edmonton, on which they.travelled, coming back at a rate of 45 miles an hour, finding the road as smooth as any other.A daily passenger service is now running between Edmonton and Winnipeg, doing the journey in 30 hours.The party went as far as Edson.120 miles west of Edmonton, and found that the different branch lines were being pushed ahead rapidly.Probably by winter the Athabasca River will be crossed.In order to reach Prince Rypert Mr.Smithers had to pass over the C.P.R.to Vancouver, where he found the steamers \u2018Prince Rupert\u2019 and \u2018Prince George! making successful trips.7 .Although unable to prophesy the completion of the line in \"1912, Mr.Smithers was greatly pleased with the progress and prospects, and said he would have an encouraging report to make when he reached London.Among Mr.Hays' party was Mr.George B.Hunter, the builder of the \u2018Mauretania\u2019 and of the firm of Swan, Hunter & Wighan-Richardson, Limited, of Wallsend on Tyne, who had built the cteamers on the Pacific for the
