but these tactics signally failed, for the meeting was decidedly in Mr.Roy\u2019s favor.Messrs.Lalonde and R.Vallicres were appointed joint chairmen, and besides the] two candidates speeches in support of Mr.Roy were delivered by Messra.L.A.Lavallee, Martineau, Philippe de Grand- pre, and E.Lafontaine ; while Messrs.C.A.Cornellier, D.A.Lafontaine and Bour- bonnais spoke for Ald.Grothé.Mr.Roy, in his address, gave a scathing criticism of Ald.Grothé\u2019s conduct while in the council, and showed how he was always on the side of the illegal and extravagant expenditure of the public funds.When tenders were asked by the Police Committee for coal he voted for the highest tenderers getting it, and in awarding the contracts for clothing for the members of the force he voted for Mr.Oharlebois, whose prices were several dollars higher than the lowest tenderer\u2019s.He had also voted for the Montreal Gas Company getting the contract for sypplying gas at $1.20 per thousand feet, and voted straight against dol lar gas every time.Ald.Grothés was also responsible for the illegal expendi ture of that $32,000 by the Police Committee, and always voted for the borrow- \u201coT «vt No.% who are H.A.Eker, that Mr.Sullivan, agent, had been | brought agninit him in 8%, Antoine Ward : .1 i \"Bride;

general committee was formed o well known leading cently en of the ward, who were divided rough the four committee rooms, vis: 127 Bleury street, 654 Sherbrooke, corner of Mance street; 374 Bf.Lawrence street, and corner of Milton and St.Lawrence.These rooms are now well manned, and work is being rapidly pushed on.Friends are cordially welcome at the rooms.DR.WEIR\u2019S MEETING LAST NIGHT FOR ORGANIZATION.The electors of St.Lawrence Ward, at short notice, turned out well last evening to Dr.Weir's committee rooms, though the\u2018notice had been only in the \u2018Witness\u2019 of a few hours previously.There was purpose in everything dene, and when Mr.- James Harper took the chair in response to the universal request, his introduction of Dr.Weir was applauded vigorously.Among those present were Mr.Lyman, of Messrs.Lyman, Knox & Co., Mr.George Wilson, Mr.Samuel Baylis, Major E.L.Bond, Prof.Warriner, Mr.George Bridgman, Mr.Wand, Mr.Alex.Peden, Mr R.Scott, Mr.J.H.Carson, Mr.James Harper and others.Mr.Harper emphasized.the need at the City Hall of an English-gpeakine lawyer.He pointed out that Dr, Weir had not sought the.candidature, but bad been requested\u2014strongly urged, in fact, to come ont\u2014and that, if elected, he would have to give up a very lucrative appointment under the Corporation.There was every reason, therefore, why electors should each make some sacrifice on their part to elect him.Dr.Weir was warmly greeted, and he spoke at some length, showing the experience he had had in the study of municipal questions and instancing the neoeesity there was at the City Hall for complete organization of those forces that make for good government.(Ap plause.) He had had muck to do at the City Hall in connection with certain expropriation cases, and his experience would not be to learn.He already bad studied ways and means of remedying evils complained of, and would do his best.One thing, as the chairman had said, the people down to the \u2018smallest tenant; of the ward, and even the boys and girls that played in the streets and équares, were interested in the good k>v- ernment of the city.Those who owned property were, of course, primarily interested, and in proportion te their property were more directly brought to feel the necessity for ecomomy.(Applause.)

though where in the world a dacint child belongin\u2019 to the parish o\u2019 Ballycarney got such quare, useless little hands an\u2019 feet as you have, is more than I can tell\u201d \u2018Sure, that\u2019s the reason,\u201d pleaded poor little Noreen ; \u2018that\u2019s the reason I waut- ed to know all about the dew.I thought thet maybe \u2019twould make me look phrty an\u2019 fat an\u2019 rosy.\u2019 Mrs.Geraghty wrinkled her honest brow, and, after a caution to \u2018keep an eye on the praties,\u2019 told all that she knew about the quaint Irish and Scotch superstition of which little Noreen bad spoken.\u2018To skim the dew,\u201d quoth Mrs.Ger- aghty, oracularly, \u2018ve must rise with the lark an\u2019 wander out over the fields while the dew is still wet on the grass.In your left hand you must carry cup that ncne ever drank from ; and in your right spoon that never: touched mortal lips.Up hill an\u2019 down dale must ye go till ye find a field of clover with a brook that rever was bridged runnin\u2019 through it, an\u2019 a red-berried rowan tree growin\u2019 beside the brook.When ye see such a field, ye may go down on your knees an\u2019 gather with the spoon thirty drops of dew.Only the clover an\u2019 the grass must ye skim .Take no dew from any weed, nor from any flower but the clover bloom.\u2018When the thirty drops are shinin\u2019 at the \u201cbottom of the cup, dip your finger in and bathe yowr face with.the.magic dew.Then sit ye down under the rowan tree an\u2019 close your eyes.Sleep will ccme to ye, an\u2019 while ye sleep the dew will change your face an\u2019 make it fair to look upon.At least, Noreen achorra, that\u2019s the spell that my ould : gran\u2019mother taught me; an\u2019 there wasn\u2019t a wiser woman than herself in the County Kilmore.\u201d II.That afternoon Noreen carried to the village all her littl* hoard of halfpennies, and at the very best shop purchased a cheap delft cup and a pewter spoon\u2014 both brand new and unpacked from: their several cases before her eyes.These were the articles mentioned by Mrs.(veraghty as necessary to the success of her spell \u2014the \u2018cup that none ever drank from\u2019 and the \u2018spoon that never touched mortal lips.\u2019 All night the child slept but fitfully, for thinking of the \u2018magic dew.\u2019 The spoon and cup were hidden beneath her pillow, and when she woke up, as she did many times ere morning, her hand would steal toward these precious treasures, to learn if they still were there.Sunshine came blinking in through the little flawed window penes at last,.and the song of the lark\u2019 called Noreen from her bed.Up she got and made the fire very quietly, so as not to awaken the old folk in the loft overhead.Then she put the teakettle on the hob and filled the great black caldron with potatoes.A wash in the little cracked besin by the window, a careful combing of the thick blsek hair, and Noreen, in her tattered frock end Bunday best, pinafore, trotted out of doors inté thé keen, odorous air of the mountain morning.- Carefully she carried the delft cup in her left hand\u2014the pewter spoon in her right ; and very grave indeed were the great dark eyes as they scanned the far- stretching hillside, and the glens below for soma such field as that described by good Mrs.Geraghty.On she trotted, her feet now hidden in shimmering, dew-laden grass, now clambering over stone stiles or through friendly gaps in the tall thorn hedges.Streams and rivulets she passed a many; clover fields and rowan trees were common enough, but the precise combination of tree, clover and bridgeless stream she did not encounter.Noreen was beginning to despair of ever finding just such a field, when a cheery whistle in the neighboring boreen revealed the presence of old Mechaul, the perish sheannachie or \u2018wise man,\u2019 Buch information as she sought it was.Meehaul\u2019s business to know ; and the child lost no time in accosting him through the hedge.When Meehaul heard her question he grinned broadly.\u2018Why, \u2019tis the good people's field ye're lookin\u2019 for,\u2019 he cried.\u2018 Tis the field where colleens go to skim the dew.- Well, well! For ten year I've never heard tell of any one goin\u2019 to skim the dew.I wish ye good luck, alanna, theugh \u2019tis a big change \u2018will take to make the likes 0\u2019 you ¢ Whereabouts is it 'Tis down yonder at Carney, where the quare Yankes lady has rented the cottage from Sir Geoffrey.They my she keeps a private doctor of her own, an\u2019 is so tremenjous wealthy that she can afford & new disense for every day in the But Noreen stopped not to hear anything about the \u2018quare Yankee lady,\u201d ur i had been looking all the morning.There was the clover ; there bloomed the red-berried rowan, and, at Noreen\u2019s feet, prattled a stream so tiny that nobody would have ever troubled to bridge it over.he midst # fagrank bettko y spoon Kk up drop of dew and shook it into the cup.Another and another followed ; Noreen counted aloud as she did when number ing the goslings for Mrs.Geraghty.Only at the tenth drop did she pause for breath perforce, for all the gleaming dew had been skimmed from the clover within reach.and, a trifle more slowly, began anew the work of skimming.Weeds and flowers she passed by, although the dew upon their leaves gna petals temptingly enough.Only the grass and clover were to be skimmed, and Noreen was deter mined not to spoil her spell by any heedless action.\u2018 Twenty-five,\u2019 she counted-\u2018twenty- six\u2014 twenty-seven\u2014 twenty-eifht\u2014twen- ty-nine,\u2019\u2014and then, with a great deli heratenem, followed by a gasp of relief\u2014 \"thirty The requisite number of drops were lying at the bottom of Noreen\u2019s delft cup.Eagerly she dipped a small fore | finger in the gathered moisture, and slowly anointed her face.Forehead, lips, chin, nose, cheeks, and above all the eyes, those offending black ayes, were all bathed in the magic dew.Then the rippling waves of dusky hair, the tiny feet, and, last of all, the little brown hands were laved in the precious uid.Noreen, all smiles and dimples, hastened toward the rowan tree and sat herself down beneath its epreading branches.In obedience to the spell she closed her bole of the ancient tree.Whether the spel was ing, or Noreen\u2019s long morning journey a-nodding, and little by little slipped from the supporting trunk of the rowan, until it rested half-hidden in the long grass.There, eoothed by the scent of \u2018the clover, Noreen fell fast asleep.III.A logse bunch of red berries, detached by the breeze, fell upon her outstretched arm, but did not wake her.A hare scuttled by without arousing the spellbound slumberer.She did not hear the rook regiment from Castle-Carney woods go cawing overhead, nor the same rooks returning with clangorous rejoicing, from their breakfast amid the fallows.The est notes upon her; and even the sound of approaching human voices failed to break her sleep.\u2018Dear me !\u201d murmured the doctor sympathetically.\u2018Dear me!\u201d he repeated much more forcibly a moment later, for- his companion had gripped him tightly by the arm and was pointing, half in astonishment, half in triumph, to the prostrate form of little Noreen Fleragh, lying face upward under the rowan tree.\u2018It is my model, doctor! My Spanish beauty of yesterday ! .Now health and exile to the mountains.\u2019 Perhaps the spell passed away from Noreen; perhaps she felt, as sleeping persons are said to do, the intense scrutiny she stirred slightly, opened her eyes and sat up.\u2018What a lovely child,\u201d exclaimed the enthusiastic artist.\u2018Did you ever see such beautiful eyes ?\u201d Noreen had expected it all.Clearly as she hoped it would.So vhe smiled gravely back at the pale-faced lady, and promptly gave credit where credit seemed ue.: \u2018Bure, \u2019twas the dew that did it,\u2019 she said.\u2018 You should he\u2019 seen what an _ ADVERTISEMENTS, AP's Cherry pectoral \u201cWhen the doctors considered me cured me of .L.B.LARDINOIS, Rosiers, Wis.> \u2018Dawn en jer knees went the child in| Further down the bank moved Noreen, | ; The skimming had been.accomplished.| eyes, leaning her head against the gray 9 brought it about, the child\u2019s head began 2k blackbird in the rowan wasted his choic.3 I can finish my picture in spite of {ll-| of eyes fixed upon har.At any rate} the magic dew had transformed her just |.incurable, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral 2, Ste) CADBURY'S COCOA, ABSOLUTELY PURE, THEREFORE BEST NO CHEMICALS USED.= Wholesaie Agents jor Canada, à Frank Magor & Co., 16 St, John St, Montreal E |*WM.RODDEN & CO, FREE !

Wales, | WHILE RETURNING FROM THE GOLD FIELDS.Ottawa, Jan.FL\u2014The following ie: an extract from s letter from Inspector Wood to the comptroller of the Mount \u2018On Dec.27 I was informed by a mars, cripple named Coy had been deserted and robbed of $1,400 worth of gold dust by his two companions, on the way out from Dawson, and that the men, Harter and Graber, were here in town.It appears: that Coy, who is sixty y 8 old, pod saffering from, an injury to Ris hip, Dawson \u201cand started out, taking Harter! and Graber with him to help him along.They knew that he had a lot of \u2018dust\u2019 and were also aware that his relations.had-told them so.When approaching Tagish, Harter and Graber deliberately left the old man and pushed ahead, thinking he could not follow and would perish.Coy, however, kept going until he reach ed Tagish and from there the police helped him to Bennett.At Bennett he \u2018was forced to rest a couple of days ; but: 8 letter from Inspector Strickland to: Marshal McGinnis, asking the latter to arrest Harter and Graber.McGinnis refused.to do \"this unless Coy himself laid the information.\u2018The man who had followed the thieves from Bennett \u2018appealed to me.I saw the Marshal, but be said he could do nothing.I then went and saw United Btates Commils- sioner Smith, but he, too, sbrugged his shoulders, and said that as the affair I then offered to lay information before him, charging Harter and Graber with bringing stolen property into the United States.He replied that this was no offence in Alaska.Coy arrived here \u2018yesterday, and right before his face Har- ter and Graber sold his doge end sleighs.and laughed at him when he attempted: to claim them.scoundrels will go down in a steamer, stopping at either Vancouver or Victoria, I have advised Coy to go by the same boat and have them arrested down there.To help him I have giver him letters to the cliiefs of police at each place.\u2019 Under\u2019 :date, Victoria, B.C., Jan: \u201811, Superintendent Perry writes regarding as follows : Inspector Wood, on this matter, I beg to say that Coy arrived in Victoria, per steamer \u2018 City of Seattle,\u201d on Friday, and here.Tt was expected that the thief Harter would arrive here on the boats following the \u2018Seattle, but up to date he bas not come.It is my opinion ikLat he will go by the steamer ° Eldor,\u201d which was lying at the dock at Skaguay, and which proceeds direct to Portland, not touching at any Canadian port.Ihave wired the Chief of Police at Portland to | locate Harter, and also the Chief at Seattle to locate a man named McClel- land, who is a necessary witness, but as: yet have had no replies.The Deputy Attorney-General considers that we can make no case against Harter unless we have corroborative evidence to support Coy, as Coy served two years in the penitentiary here and does not:bear a good reputation.I shall advise you later as to what further action is taken.\u2019 \u2018Major Walsh has sent down instruc- toing to Inspector Wood to keep pushing in the supplies and to have eight good boats built and ready for loading the: first moment the ice breaks up in Lake Bennett in the spring.A new trail from a point called the Log House on the White Pass, beyond the summit, to Tagish has been located, beginning thirty-two: miles from Skaguay, by which the total distance from Skaguay to Tagish is short-.would only be a winter one, because it avoids Lake Bennett altogether.Mails from Major Walsh are Bent forward by dog teams from the coast on the 8th and

The specimen sent by Mr.Wilson has nothing black about it.The flesh is very light in color and the bark dark brown.It may be, however, that the application of oil and varnish may have the effect.of turning it black.TO PREVENT HENS FROM SITTING.X.Y.Æ., Fallowfñield \u2014We have a real zood way to prevent hens hatching when they are not-required.Those who have seen it are adopting the same plan.It is my own invention.Could I make any money out of it?Please answer through the \u2018Witness,\u2019 but do not give my name or address, as I do not want it known.Ans.\u2014I doubt if any money can be made out of your device.THE SPREAD OF THE PLAGUE.Bombay, Jan.20.\u2014During the past week the deaths from the bubonic plague numbered 85].From all causes there were 1,540 deaths.The exodus is in- turns of the number of cases of this dis.ense;: With improvement in raihage the creasing and business is stagnant.PA mare Fr The Ways © yester positis by wl the Sy ed bef Cunni report cese.the re that b tot | educat white disput the mc that i terfere laws d was tl should The noon | most \u20ac self to port © a prok of ten by the variou fered pledge to its bers o Jost to in his pathy to abe but h impres thing forbad quor, not v There liberty those their | up the He sy thougt himsel The ently Synod, quor ti Be ve be mi man, | stainer a prot enforce which the ex when a prot Worse liquor and tl prohib Leona: pealed to-day warn ¥ do wh who v cannot opium, hibitio against As i Dr.Jo the p law v THE DIOCESAN SYNOD.: A Vigorous and Spirited Discussien of Prohibition.VARIOUS VIEWS ON THE QUESTION OF THE DAY.T° ~ »nnual debate on temperance is al- wi - a lively feature of the Synod.-That vewrerday afternoon wes notable for the positive declarations made on both sides lw what may be called the leaders or he Synod.The debate was precipitat- 1 before adjournment by the Rev.T.E.lunningham, who moved to adopt the \u2018port on temperance work in the dio- ese.There was nothing remarkable in he report itself except the statement chat by the ,! advocacy of total probibt | tion.by moral svasion, and by\u2019.général education they should aim to keep the white flaz of temperance waving in undisputed sway,\u201d and the declaration of the mover in the course of some remarks, that it was the duty of the state to in- terfore to pass restrictive or prohibitory laws dealing with the liquor traffic if it was the feeling of the people that law should be enacted.The debate was adjourned till the after noon session, when Dr.Davidson, in the most emphatic manner, pronounced him- sell to be against that portion of the report which looked to the enactment of a prohivitory law.He extolled the work of temperance which had been wrought by the Church of England through her various temperance societies, which offered the dual pledge\u2014the alternative pledge of temperance or total abstinence to its members, thus enrolling large numbers of persons who otherwise would be lost to the cause.He yielded to no man in his love for temperance or in his sympathy with those who were endeavoring to abate the evils of the drink traffic, but he denied in the most solemn and impressive manner that there was anything in the law of God or man which forbade the moderate use of alcoholic liquor, and that being the case he could not vote for the prohibition principle, There was also the invasion of pereonal Liberty.those who said that rather than cause their brother to offend they would\u2018give up their personal liberty in this matter.He sympathized with such ap attitude, though he was DOL prepared to Sake: 8 himself.: The Rev.Canon Ellegood said \u2018rebem- ently : \u2018My lord and gentlemen of the Synod.if yeu want to increase the liquor traffic, you will vote for prohibition.Be very sure of that.Do not let me be misunderstood.I am not a pledged man, but I am practically a total ab stainer.I simply know that by passing a prohibitory law, which you can never enforce, vou will be augmenting the evil which vou desire to remove.Look at tie experience of New Brunswick.Why, when the late Sir Leonard Tiley passed à ruhibitory law, the drink traffic was worse than ever.They brought in the liquer\u2014na very bad kind, I understand\u2014 nul *here was more drunkenness under ir iron than under license.Sir Lesrard recognized this himself and re- penled the law, and if he could be here today sn the floor of this bouse he would warn vu against a prohibition law.And d+ what vou will, there will be people vhs will have stimulants, and if such fann°: ehtain liquor they will resort to spin, which is infinitely worse.Pro- L'on\u201d My lord, I am emphatically agamst it] \\s ii this were not strong enough, Dr Jéhnsin took the extreme stand that the pepe sition to pass a prohibitory law was the application of the in- \u201cMerant principle which lit the fires of nithée!d.(Oh!) Yes, it was the éttempt to make men virtuous by act of rarliament.It was making men ra ral by the sword.It was the confes- #m that moral suasion had failed.It was the principle held by good but nar- rw men in England who, having the power of the sword, believed they were \u201cag God a service by exterminating e who, in thetr belief, were propagat- \": vicked heresies.It Was the applica- i the principle which, applied to Fin < in the extermination of the here- \u2018ad largely contributed to make © as infidel as she was to-day.The ble of prohibition was the princi- \u2018uch destroyed the Albigenses.It principle which had left Spain v infidel.This principle said :\u2014 must be good in our way.If not, sake of the cause which we be- \"> be the right one, we must cut The principle of prohibition : 2.its enforcement was impos- $ sarh a law never had been en- \u2018he past.It could not be en- + country like England ; it te enforced in a country like \u201cith its long frontier and its : >pulation.He was in favor rance ; he was opposed to _1\u2018e of prohibition which was a 7 \\berty and the imposing upon ~ 2 law which would fain make \u201crus by a sort of patent pro- Sr ol \u201cwr ther hand, the Rev.Mr.Me- \u201cawl the Rev.Mr.Jekyll moved 4 by their descriptions of the ! destitution and sorrow pro- he drink traffic, as they had \u201ca the East End of the city He uriderstood the position of the in the course of their work; while Mr.E.L.Bond, in a temperaibe speech, exposed the fallacies of those who were to prokäbition.Jn the firet sed Hace prohibitionists are willing to accord | the utmost freedom to all who did not hold their views.They were entitled to express their opinion without having the |.sincerity of their motives in the slightest degree impugned.- There was in his opinion no analogy between the lighting of the fires of Smdthfleld and the prohibition of the liquor traffic.They did not ments for prohibition.been a case of complete prolidbition in any country; Mquor was an article which easily disclosed itwelf, and it would be |: far casier to detect liquor under probi- bition than smuggled lMquor under Ii cense; a law condtitutionally passed in a Britigh country could be enforced.The Droewmkt bead of the Church in England, who was himself à total abstainer, had told him that they looked to Canada for the lead in temperance reform.The synod, iteelf, last year passed a resolution asking their members to support the plebiscite.Prohibition, so fer from being a confession of failure, was the culmination of public opinion on this question.Nothing that the synod could do would retard the great prohibition movement.Any edverse action would be like the fly on the wheel.They believed | that prohibition wes in sight; at the same time agrecing with the logical position of Dr.Davidson, touching the work of the temperance societies of the Church of England, which offered the two-fold pledge, he would be in favor of modifying the report in the respect referred to.In en impassioned speech, the Rev.Mr.French, ergued against the prindple of prohibition.Firet, he protested against this subject having been introduced in the morning when, according to actual count, there were only eleven laymen on the floor of the house.Had the report been carried, it would have been used as expression of the entire synod, and have been employed as an argument upon the hustings.mate 8.ain,\u2019 asked Ar.French, .dre- La a ply Bf dpm Le Ai à den Por « motient there wis am pause.\u2018No, not at all,\u201d came from Mr Bond, in cheerful tones.\u2018Then why do you invade my House, which is my castle, end\u2014Mr.Bond, who is 80 British, will appreciate the phrase\u2014 why do you invade my house armed with a weapon, which you hold over me; de claring that I must not do that which yeu pronounce I may do without sn?| You pass a law which makes me a thief.(No, no.)

If ke thought #0 he would try to find anather church.The Church of England was catholic, but she should prove her catholicity by ministering to the, French in thie province in \u2018their own tongue.He urged this with much eloquence, and was followed by the Rev.Mr.Benoit, who made, in English, a surprisingly able speech, in which he pointed out the danger of the French in this province be- infidel, and the opportunity offer\u2019 ed to the Church to give them.the pure gospel.He also urged the welding together of all the races in this Dominion so that we might have neither French, English nor Irish nor Scotch, but, 8 Rev.BennDavidson sympathized this lattes view, but he insisted cess upon this evolved.type be\u201d pe axon .and not nch.esrnédly into the question of: f their students, showing | \u201cPilot Jean Arcand was the first witness called yesterday.\u2018His evidence: followed on the seme lines as the wit- nèsses who had preceded him.He would have the cosling boats placed on the tour.de role, otherwise the loss of practice.would expose navigation to grave dangers.\u2018On the questions of the dimi- nation of the number of pilôts, apprenticeship, and the appointment of a pilot ta sit on the Harbor Commission, the witness said that he was in perfect, accord with his colleagues.He was not in favor of placing all the pilots on the tour de role.Pilot Joseph Pleau, of Ste.Anne de la.Perade, was next called.He had been a pilot since 1870 and he agreed at;

with Mr.Charles Alexander in the chair; The number of cases coming to the \u20ac tention of the society had exceeded those of the preceding year by 725.Thats ings.given, 221 reportq attended to; 282 ilems of a miscellaneous charecter, and 84 animals destroyed, making a total of 1,660.This increase in the number of cases attended to was not attributed to a greater prevalence of brutality, but to the fact that the increased staffi\u2014four inspectors being now employed\u2014had enabled the society to more closely patrol the city.The result was also partially attributable to the commendable zeal of | the officers in their work.\u2014 The committee was pleased tobe able to report that in addition to the small troughs placed in variots parts of the.city, and as heretofore kindly kept filled | and clean by syropathizing friends, the: large watering.trough placed on the Upper Lachine Road, has proved such a general comfort to those travelling the road that the eociety had been requested to have one placed on the Longue Pointe Road, some of the residents there vol- urteering to have it cared for if one was provided.The society had again issued calendars, to be distributed in schools and other public places, inculcating humanity to animals, and it was also noted that the amendment to the laws relating to the society, to be presented to parliament at its next session, had been sent to veterinary surgeons and others interested, and had been generally approved of.: - | The committee reported that in addition to the branches and agents already established, an agent, Mr.J.P.Sherfict,.bad been appointed at Knowlton ; also a branch established at Sherbrooke, with Mr.William.Farwell, general manager | of the Eastern Townships Bank, 2s! president.\"Thanks were extended to Mr.Lucien Forget for valuable services rendered the inspectors ; to the daily papers for recording subscriptions and the work.of the society, and to its honorary counsel, Messrs.McGibbon, Casgrain, Ryan, Mitchell & Surveyer ; and to Mr.J.L.Marechal, honorary veterinary surgeons, McEachran, Baker and McEachran, Dr.O.Bruneau, V.S., for gratuitous profes- sicnal services, kindly and freely rendered, aleo to Lieut.-Colonel Hughes and officers and men of the police force.The committee had to deplore the death of Mr.W.G.Murray, who during his life was one of the most active members, and who provided for the carrying\u2019 on of the work by leaving the society a legacy of two hundred dollars, which had been received from his executors, less the government duty.Officers were elected as follows : Presj- dent, Mr.Charles Alexander ; vice-piesi- dent, Mr.F.Wolferstan Thomas; sec- retery4ressurer, Mr.George Durnford.Lieutenant-Governor Jetté's name was inseribed on the list of patrons, and the names of Lord Strathcona and Mouat Royal, the Rev.T.Harris and.Meserb.R.Gohier, G.Fauteux, B.E.McGale.and Edward Surveyer added to the com- | important evidende thet wes to be pro- the Senate to-day decided to proceed at | silver at the option of the government.| bo: de ned gue de | and that to | Mr.Vest announced his intention to.se- | INCREASE IN THE.NUMBER OF| ;

the court decided that the de fence had .a right to know: under what circumstances the.acced had maid: \u2018I know I will be hung.\u2019 .Mr.McCaskill maid that these words hed been uttered about en hour and a half after they bad left Rawdon.Mr.McCaskill.said tosthe prisoner: \u2018Tom, you have committed this murder, and showed him where he had lied, He (the witness) did not tell the prisoner, \u2018You had better tell the truth,\u2019 and he did not meke any promises.But, on the way, as he says, he told prisoner a little story in.which he pictured how the prisoner stond before God.Mr.De Salaberry then insisted on knowing whether the court would allow the evidence or pot.He declared that it was perfectly indifferent to him whether it was admitted or not.As to the facts, be had himself the intention of introducing witnesses to prove that the prisoner had freely made such a confes- gion, but he wanted the court to decide whether such an admission as was made by the witness had been made without any influence being brought upon him.Mr.Juaticèé Delorimier said that he did not see why the defence insisted upon a decision as it was part of their policy to show that the prisoner bad freely confessed his crime.But since he was called upon to give a decision, he must say that the very fact that Detective Me- \u2018Caskill called out the prisoner in the middle of a converaation to a private room seemed a thing abnormal.By the evidence of Mr.McCaskill himself it \u2018seemed that the prisoner was a very nervous man, a \u2018jumper,\u2019 as he had said, who might be induced by exterior influences to do things which he did not think of.He did not wish to hlame De tective McCaskill\u2014on the contrary\u2014but he ss a judge was bound to give the benefit of the doubt to the prisoner.English law, you might say, was excessively jealous of the liberty of the subject, and does not allow it to be assumed hat any one is guilty of any offence until it is proved: and has wpecial provisions to prevent any one in authority, such as constables, magistrates and de- tortives, from inducing prisoners to make confessions.In the present instance he might have a reasonable doubt as to whether the prisoner had been unduly influenced.He preferred to err on the part of the defence than otherwise.oa being \u2018one o'clock the court adjourn- fter n Mr.Spemjaardt was again put in \u2018the witnees box, Mr.De Salaber- Ty immediately objected to his being allowed to give the details of.the prisoner's\u2019 confession.tL A long dispute arose betwetn the law- vers and finally the court alléwed Mr.Spanjsardt to go on.His evidence lasted until nearly four o'clock.Severs! witnesses were called by the [rl tiff in the { ronto against the insurance companies of ibe Nolty trial opened ' with les at | Bank of Montreal., Jan.20.-The evidense for the \u201csuit of the Bank of To- closed ie ne Jobo en Se ns on ence was started, beginning wit that of John Eatom, in whose name the business was conducted, taken before a commission in New York.The witness stated that the day before the fire he had decided to leave the company, as at $200,000 a year turn over there was no future in it for him.He said he thought the estimate of stock lost at $278,000 was somewhat too large.Mr.:Eeton said in reference to these es that he was ashamed to have the \u2018paper representing these figures as the loss by the fire.\u2018I do not think,\u201d he said, \u2018there was any such amount of stock es was shown in the proofs of Toms.\u201d The case was then adjourned.THE \u2018KASAGI' LAUNCHED.Philadelphia, Ja.20.\u2014Amid the shouts and s of a vast crowd the Japanese cruiser \u2018Kasagi\u2019 glided from the ways at Cramp\u2019s shipyards into the Delaware river at noon.Miss Helen M.Long, x.daughter of the Secretary of the Navy) : .Mrs, Nukéy.anything sponsor for ig ship.e ner, = She only d.| Kesagi loft ia berth Mise Long named ('apollest ta de do: if.] the ship and.at.the.same time released \u2018he got married.from a basket a shower of tulips, lilies bring her here;

I have to play the music in church for a wedding and when it is over 1 will try to find him.\u201d After mass she came to me and asked me to bring a turnserew and open, One of the windows in her house as she had no key and wanted to get in.\u201c They have the key,\u201d she said.I raised the window and got in, and then unlocked the door and let her in.As she came in she said: \u201cGo into the room where my husband is; I am afraid.\u201d I did 5, and saw him on the bed with two pools of blood on each side of his head, and a butcher's knife on the pillow near it.\u201d [Here the witness, who was much excited, threw his head back, raised his arms, and gave a dramatic representation of the corpse as it appeared to him.] \u2018I then turned and left the room.She asked: \u201cIs my husband there ?\u201d I replied: \u201c He is, and his head is cut off with a butcher's knife.\u201d ' \u2018She did not say a word, and neither cried out nor faintad.She then went to the edge of the room and bent over to see her husband, then turned and we \u2018went right out.When I reached my house my wife asked what was the matter, and I told her.I then started to tell the curé, but met Lauzon, who went instead.and I returned to Poirier\u2019s house.Several people came in, and then the curs came and told us all to leave.The accused remained with us four daye, and dering all that time did not, in my pre- \u2018gnce, speak of tha murder.Sam Parz- Flow came in on the Monday and sat down near the door, and never said a word.\u2019 In reply to the judge, the witness said that he was there when Sath Parslow called, and that neither he nor any one else said a word about the murder.He rat down at the door and held his peace.Tt being five o'clock the court adjourned.\u2014\u2014 MAIL BOXES ROBBED.Rochester, N.Y., Jan.21.\u2014Robbers of the United States mail boxes operated in this city early yesterday morning.Several boxes were opened with keys in the possession of the thieves or by some other method which did not injure the locks.Drafte and money were taken from the letters, which were then returned to the mail boxes.About fifty opened letters_have been found.ER THE DAILY WITNESS is printed and.published at the \u2018 Witness\u2019 Building, at the corner of Craig and St.Peter streets, in the city of Montreal, by John Redpath Dougall, of Montreal, All business communications should be sddressed Jokn Dongall & Son,\u2019 * Witnses' Office, Montreal, to hold the annual\u2019 fall fair on Sept.8.9 and 10: - \" » \u2018 | padhail esters to the Riker should be addrgmed ¢ ofthe \u2018Witaem.'Moslsesl half-past ten this morning proceedings \u2018 EE 80 1 ing a are the lar, "]
