ot.Police in the Witness Box\u2014The Transaction in Cemmection With: | Loans.i ~, the Poirier COLONEL HUGHES REPEATS UNDER OATH HIS PREVIOUS EXPLANATIONS.a Lieut.-Colonel Hughes, superintendent ni police, occupied the witness box in the tourt of Queen's Bench the whole of this morning, and when the Court ad- wurned for luncheon his examination in St.Pierre, Q.C.Being an advocate by profession, the superintendent had the privilege of giving his testimony from the lawyers\u2019 desk, but preferred to enter the box.He had commanded, he explained, the (5th Battalion during the North-West rebellion, and had been superintendent ot the Montreal police force for eleven vears.He had found it necessary to vrganize a patrol system in connection with the force, and some eighteen horses were maintained in connection with it.When the patrol system was established in 1893 witness and the late Ald.P.Kennedy, then a member of the Police Committee, were authorized to purchase the horses needed.Since then no one had Leen specially deputed to buy horses.At the time of the publication of the alleged libellous article the accounts of his department, as of the other civic departments, were accumulating.Witness recognized an account produced as one prepared under the instructions of the Mayor last May, showing the outstanding accounts of the department at that date.WITNESSES EXCLUDED.At this point Mr.Cornellier, .C., drew attention to the presence in court of Mr.John Barry, secretary of the police department.He was subpoenaed as a witness, and Mr.Cornellier asked that he be excluded.He also asked that all the witnesses for the defence be called.Mr.Cornellier asked that all these witnesses be excluded, including the representative of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Mr.Quinn, Q.C., for the prosec i C ion, and Mr.Greenshigids, Q.C., for the de gd \u2018FERAREDE, e-, sides being in attendance #8 n Witness he was representing his paper .as reporter of the case.NE \u2019 Mr.8t.Pierre, Q.C., asked what the defence expected to prove by him.Mr.J.N.Greenshields replied that they wanted to prove by the journalist in question, who had been the first to make public the statement of the outstanding accounts of the police department, that he had received the statement from the officials of the department.Mr.St.Pierre said he had no objection te his remaining, and the Court allowed him to remain.The other witnesses subpoenaed were excluded from court.The examination of Lieut.-Colonel Hughes was then proceeded with.About May, 1897, the appropriation being exhausted, it became necessary to purchase a team of horses.Having no money, ex-Ald.Lefebvre, thn chairman of the Police Committee, advised him to borrow money somewhere for the department.Witness applied to several parties and finally arranged with Mr.Poirier, who bad been sadler of the de- lartment for many years, to advance the money, 8300, to buy a team.CHAIRMAN WAS PRESENT It was a verbal argeement, but ex- Ald.Lefebvre was present, and he would te in court to substantiate witness's ies- timony Out of tha proceeds of this loan witness bought a team of horses, which he delivered to the department.About August, 1897, witness, again \u201cvith \u2018he authorization and at the request of +x-Ald.Lefebvre, borrowed $275 in a vmilar way for another team, two horses being dead.Witness gave a \u2018bon\u2019 for 300, though he only received 8275, the $25 discount being for interest on the two loans, Mr.Poirier had drawn the money from the bank.With the $275 Witness purchased another team, which he duly delivered to the department, In Octoter, 1897 the veterinary surgeon reported that two more horses were sick and expected to die, and there were not enough horses for the requirement of the department.With the authority and at the request of the chairman of the Police Committee he borrowed the requisite amount from Mr.Poirier on another \u2018bon\u2019 He was not aure whether ex-Ald.Lefebvre or ex-Ald.firothe was chairman of Police at the time, but could swear positively that he acted under the instructions of the chairman.He was looking about for a team when, about fifteen days later, the veterinary surgeon reported to him that the two sick horses had recovered, but others might be needed, and as BOON ns they were he would notify the witness.The proceeds of the last \u2018bon\u2019 had not been used to purchase horses.+ BONS\" | sence the cit; The statement credited Mr.Poi- | rier with a claim of $1,476.35 $876.35 for work done for the department and goods delivered as sadler, and $600, the amounts advanced for the purchase of two teams.Witness thought he had been informed that there had been an action against \u2018the city in connection with these \u2018bons,\u2019 ri je TS WCCASION of BIS 88 a request had been sent to him for a report, and one had been made in his absence, Witness was present in the claims committee when the police accounts were taken up.Ald.Martineau, chairman of the committee, asked that Mr, Poirier\u2019s account be paid.Ald.Ames said he was prepared to vote for the immediate payment of the account if witness would certify to it.- DECLARED THE ACCOUNT WRONG.Witness examined the account.It specified in detail, $876.35 for saddlery, $600 for two teams of horses and $300 for one team.The latter item, $300 for a team, was written in red ink, and he understood had been written by Mr.Dufresne, the city comptroller.As soon as witness saw it he declared without a moment's hesitation that he would certify the account if the item for $300 was struck off, as it was not due Mr.Poirier by the city.He explained to the committee that he would sign for 81,476.35, and nothing more.With the committee\u2019s consent Mr.Dufresne drew his pen through the inserted item of $300, and witness immediately certified the acount as it remained.Witness understood that the city had paid the $1,475.35, and he himeelf had retired the third bon for $300.He had been out of the city with some friends at Lake Chapleau and on returning met Mr.Ethier, the city attorney, who was a personal friend of his, and who told him of stories being about with regard to the Poirier hons.Witness sent his messenger to Poirier to ask him to come down ance at the circulation of the repopts*and \u2018oid it was not his fault.Witriedk sent \u201cto Poirier and asked him to return the bon, which he did.Witness did not feel compelled to retire the bon as he held the money as a deposit for use in buying horses, at any time, but thought he would retire it to put a stop to the unpleasant reports circulated.Witness understood that Poirier had transferred his claim against the city to Mr.De Serres.He had been informed that Mr.De Serres\u2019s counsel was Ald.Martineau.EXPLAINED TO THE MAYOR.After the publication of the alleged libellous article the Mayor had summoned witness before him for an explanation, which he had given.To the Court\u2014Witnese had kept the money after having the item struck from the account in the claims committee because he thought it might be needed.The money had been borrowed to purchase horses, and he was keeping it to purchase them as soon as they were required.He had not borrowed the money at his own pleasure, but had been ipstructed by the chairman to get it.He had the item erased, because the amount was not due by the city.He had kept the money on hand for use if necessary in the purchase of horses during all the time intervening between the negotiating of the bon and his return of the money to Mr.Poirier.He had used none of it for his personal use.The Court adjourned for luncheon at one o'clock, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE POSTMAS TERSHIP, APPOINTMENT TO

they put it on their goods and made the customers pay it.The result of a man\u2019s labor was his property.Why should the state rob him.It can't vob a men who has nothing.Single tax would assess land values and not labor ror improvements.This condition of a fairs must obtain before the prayer \u2018Thy kingdom come\u2019 could be answered.This was not his opinion, but was an axiom as true as mathematics.The man who can comprehend mathematics is the man who wÿl accept single tax.He quoted from The late Frances E.Willard to show that she considered it a most :m- portant reform; that ft was next to temperance reform in its beneficent charac ter.Questions regarding the manner of introducing \u2018he new system when it should be decided io discard the present one the progress of the movement in other lands, its effect upon labor and machin ery, the manufacturer, the mechan and the landlord and how land values would be fixed were asked and satisfactori! answered, considering the limited time available.A vote of thanks was tendered the speaker.Mr.F.C.Capon was appointed secretary to take the names of all who wished to form a single-tax club.Quite a number went forward and signed the list at the close, and shook hands with the lecturer.The meeting closed with the doxology.Pr DEPARTURE OF MR.OBORNE.Mr.James Oborne, assistant to the vice-president of the Canadian Pacihc Railway, left to-day for his new position in the west, which is that of general «u perintendent of the western division\u2014his jurisdiction extending from Fort William to the Rockies, and to Kootenay Land: ing on the Crow's Nest Pass line.The admiration and affection felt for Mr Oborne were heartily testified te to-day when most of the officials assembled in the station yard to give him a send-off on the \u2018gold train\u2019 at the Windsor st tion.The best wishes were expressed for the prosperity and welfare of the new superintendent, and hearty cheers were given as the train left the station.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 PROTEST DID SOME :00D Boston, Mass, March 27 -Actng wn der instructions from the Treasury De partment at Washington, Collector Lyman to-day notified local exporters tha® Canadian goods in bond, which arrived here on or before March 21, for shi ment to provincial ports of Europe.could be sent forward the same as before the recent decision regarding final destine tions.This is one result of the visit l Washington last week of the committe?appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to present the case to the Treasury of cials.\u2014 SPECIAL NOTICES.Easter in Books.\u2014There\u2019s a great du-l of Art merit in the Easter Book remc:\" brances ready for the happy season ju- ahead.The Cards, the Booklets, th: Little Oddlings, of really artistic beaut are here in select styles.The NS.Cars: Book Store is a veritable store-house © good things for Eastertide.Easter Beauty.\u2014The Home of East: Novelty and Beauty is undoubtedly Ih 8.Carsley Co.This is a Cosmopolit.exhibit, Paris, London, Berlin, Vien.and New York, are shown together a \u2018ach is content in the awsociation or iv other.Paris sets the Style\u2014and (Cars \u2018ley\u2019s is a miniature Paris.> aq st Ja on fac 10] tor tin nec at ma da da ing fur are RIT in anc an) rial of ind tur pon TIT] T} cont shot \u2019 WHR cert On phy not and fied.the jorit that reme arise qual since Dies poin: of tl are : secor paid until be u ter witn next Mr Dred accid Card;

the first, whether the signatures of those who have not paid their taxes are invalid for license applications, and, secondly, whether those who have since paid are valid.It was recognized that until these points be decided it would be useless to proceed, as the whole matter hinges there.After hearing ome witness, an adjournment was made until next Tuesday.\u2014_\u2014e\u2014\u2014 A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.Mr.Ernest Lambert, of the Gilbert Dredging Company, met with a painful accident while driving yesterday at Cardinal, his horse running away and throwing him out, so that he sustained à compound fracture of the leg.The bones were set at the General Hospital.Mr.Lambert is premised a complete, though slow, recovery.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 FUNERAL OF MR.J.E.SHORTALL.The funeral of the late Mr.John E.Shortall, late of the Dominion Express Company, took place last: evening from his residence, 788 Palace street, to the G.T.R.station, for interment at his native place, Washburn, Ont.The chief mourners were Mr.Joseph Shortall and Mr.Michael Shortall, brothers of the deceased.The funeral procession which left the house at about seven o'clock, was a very large one and included the members of Branch 26, C.M.B.A., à which deceased was an active member.Amongst these were Messrs.Grand De puty J.J.Costigan, Grand Chancello I.J.Finn,, President D.J.Gillis, Chan MOUNTAIN STREETS, SAM PARSLOW\u2019S CONFESSION.The text of the will which Sam Pars- low wrote on the day before his execution has now been published, and contains the following clause embodying a confession of his crime : \u2018I ask pardon from God, from my poor mother.from my good brother George, from my devoted brothers and sisters for the crime which I will expiate to-morrow, for the cruel grief which I cause them.I beg pardon from society, that 1 have offended, and for the scandal that I may have caused, and I trust my soul in the hands of divine Providence, hoping in its holy mercy.\u2019 After expressing a desire to be interred in the St.Canut cemetery and disposing of his personal effects in behalf of his brothers and sisters, the testator concluded as follows : \u2018Now, may God console my unfortunate family, let His will be done, and may He have pity on my soul.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 WILL DECIDE TO-DAY.THE CIVIC LOAN AND THE RACE QUESTION DISCUSSED BY THE MAYOR.In a bref interview this morning Mayor Prefontaine remarked that the affair of Mr.St.George, city surveyor, and the Road Committee, might éasily be inis- construed into a race question.It was bis belief that the appearance of trouble in this case was purely a misundepgtand- ag en ves Ce AT dg tm © Heked a Hiulon Tor {He epecih] fnceting of the Finance Committee called for this afternoon, His Worship said he supposed it Was to decide upon sending a delegation to London in connection with the three-million dollar loan, at least the committee would settle whether or not a delegation was necessary.THE LOCKJAW HORSE.The Health Committee's enquete into the charges made against civic officials by the \u2018Herald\u2019 Publishing Company opened this afternoon at 2.38 o'clock.Over twenty-five witnesses were summoned and there is a visible determination to test the charges to the utmost.The \u2018Herald\u2019 is backed by lawyers and the aldermen have asked Messrs.Normandin and Perron, of Laprairie, to appear at the en- quete.In the matter of the lockjaw horse, some interesting evidence is expected.MR.F.X.ST.CHARLES WILL RESIGN.Mr.F.X.St.Charles has announced his intention to resign the presidency of the Banque d\u2018Hochelaga, at the annual meeting, in June.Ill health is the cause of Mr.St.Charles\u2019s intended resignation.He is sixty-five years old, and has been connected with the bank for twenty-five years.re WHO IS JOHN M\u2019MELLON.Mayor Prefontaine has received a tele- sram from Major E.C.Wells, of Huut- ingdon, Pa., saying: \u2018T have the body of John McMellon, addressed, Breadlane, Montreal.Please sce if his people live at that address, and let me know.\u201d The mayor has replied that there is no such address in Montreal.-\u2014\u2014 ELECTION IS CONFIRMED.St.Johns, Que., March 28.\u2014This moin- ing, at the opening of the Court, before the Hon.Judge Pagnuelo, the petitioners in the case against Mr.J.A.Nadeav, Mayor-elect of Iberville, declared that they withdrew their contestation on the preliminary objections.Mr.Nadeau cellors P.Reynolds, M.Eagen, John H Feeley, M.Sharkey, G.A.Carpenter, H!

Force Itself on a New Parliament.} \u201cNTERESTING PREDICTION BY THE MEMBER FOR COLCHES- TER\u2014MR, DAVIS AND MR, DAVIN, Ottawa, March 28.\u2014At the opening of the House yesterday afternoon Mr.L.J.Demers, member-elect for the district of Levis, was introduced between Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr, Fitzpatrick, Mr.Charlton introduced his bill to amend the criminal code, which was given its first reading.An incident which gave rise to some amusement was brought about by an enquiry of Mr.Devin\u2019s as to the words \u2018À scallawag is a scallawag,\u2019 which appears in \u2018Hansard\u2019 of Friday as an interruption by the Minister of Public Works in the course of Mr.Davin\u2019s spcech of that day.The member of West Assonibois Wanted to know what it meant, as le had not heard it uttered and was informed that it had only been inserted at the request of the Minister of Public Works in the report of the debates, the reporter on the floor at the time not having caught it.In explanation Mr.Tarte stated that Le had made use of the words in question, and that he further had seen to their insertion in the official report.~urely, he added, Mr.Davin had not taken them as being applied to him.They were ueed only in a general way.Mr.Speaker being called on for a ruling could find no fault with the expression if not applied to an honorable member of the House.He could not see, he added, that the remark was particularly relevant to the subject under discussion.MR.DAVIS ANSWERS MR.DAVIN.Mr.T.O.Davis (Saskatchewan) re- sunied the debate on the address, hisat- tention being confined in the main to matters of western interest and comprising, too, a reply to some of the statements Rut forward by Mr.Davin in his lengthy oration of Friday last.He could not agree with the statement made by Mr.Davin that the tariff of to-day is not framed so as to assist the farmer in the purchase of the goods which he particu larly needs.In support of his: proposition, Mr.Davis cited the reduction of duties on springs and axles, spades and shovels, wood screws, tar paper and wire fencing.Mr.Davin was extremely resta dontinuous oPtiRE which were enjoyed to the full By both sides of the House.Mr.Davis alluded to the attitude of the member for West Assiniboia since last session and cautioned Sir Charles Tuprer to look out for deserters.He was able to show that in addition to substantial reductions made in the general tariff farmers enjoy a special benefit in the\u2019 further reduction under the preferential schedule.He showed how the dire predictions of the Conservative party as to the ruin which hovered over the country under Liberal rule had been utterly discredited.He put the question seriously to the Opposition party as to what pol-, icy they are prepared to acknowledge and support.Surely there must be something more in the line of suggestion than the continual scold which is coming to be their only stock in trade.RAILWAY CHARTERS.Mr.Davis pointed to the care which the government of the day is exercising in the granting of railway charters which he found to be in conspicuous distinction to the policy of the late administration.Mr.Davis challenged the Opposition to point to a single instance where they had in their years of office attempted to safeguard the public interests.The postal service, he was happy to say, had been improved in many notable respects.The report of the Postmaster-General shows many instances where reductions had been effected in the cost of mail services throughout Canada.One case in his own constituency he wished to bring prominently to the notice of the House, 1t wus SICK HEADACHE Positively cured by these Little Pills, Indigestion and Too Hearty Eating, père fect remedy for Dizziness, Nausea, Drowsi

which for some years had been le at $5,200 a year.When tenders were called he had been approached by the contractors with an offer of a thous and dollars if he would allow the continuance of the contract for another eighteen months.The contract was at once dis- ccntinued and let to another party for two thousand dollars a year.Mr.Davis held that the administration of the Yukon has been quite up to the mark of that of other mining districts and indeed in every way equal to that of Manitoba and the Territories under the late government, whose policy had, he conten-ed, led to the two insurrections in that district.On the subject of the plebiscite and prohibition, Mr.Davis expressed himself as satisfied with the stand assumed by the government of the day.DR.ROCHE.Dr.Roche (Marquette), began his speech by reading a number of doecu- ments in relation to an election protest in which Mr.Davis had been interested, after which he took up the speech from the throne.He expressed the belief that the government is reserving ils important bills till the end of the session in order to escape criticism; but warned them that the Opposition would make it hot from them from now on.He condemned the government for not tendering the farmers of the North-West free coal oil and agricultural implements, which had been promised them, and charged that the Standard Oil Company had been given advantages which enabled it to enter Canada and buy up oil wells, Mr.Fraser (Lambton)\u2014\u2018They have not bought one.\u2019 Dr.Sproule (East Grey) occupied a couple of hours in the early part of the evening with a recital of the well-known grounds of complaint and fault-finding against the government of the day.In the course of his criticism of the administration he referred to a recent letter published in the Montreal \u2018Witness,\u2019 being a criticism of the Postmaster- General for the confusion he has created by his too frequent changes in the stamp issue.THE PLEBISCITE.Mr.Firman McClure (Colchester) followed, and devoted his attention ex- dus vely.to the: subject, of.the plebiscite, While both parties avoided: a stand, on sidered a fanatic, desired to say that this was the largest and most important question in Canadian politics to-day.No other question would survive.to the next Parliament, but prohibition would yet enter into a general election, force itself on a new Parliament, and \"be a living issue until it was settled, and settled right.Mr.McClure referred to the appointment of the Royal Commission on the Liquor Traffic, and said that he never concurred in the censure of a Royal Commission, as he thought that properly constituted and honestly ani mated it might do much to clear away doubts which surrounded the question.As the Commission was constituted, however, he did not speak too strongly, and would be sustained by all _prohibi tionists and many others in saying that if the commission escaped being a swindle and a humbug, it was by becoming a farce.The majority reported against prohibition, and the Conservative party accepted this; but never made any dec laration of its policy.PART OF THE GOVERNMENT.The Liberal party never promised to give prohibition; but it premised to obtain the opinion of the people by a vote just as the other party promised to ascertain the facts by a commission.But there was in both cases an implied agrec- ment to stand by the result.The government had decided that the vote did not warrant legislation; but.it did not follow that Parliamert had no duty to perform.Mr.McClure did not think the government should accept the vote as final.As the commission was based on an imperfect and one-sided view of the evidence, presented by biased and partisan commissioners, so the plebiscite vote failed to record the whole prohibition sentiment.The plebiscite was not like an ordinary election, but was to ascertain the strength of the prohibition sentiment and whether there was sufi- cient moral sentiment to enforce a law.Parliament having endorsed the abstract principle of prohibition the plebiscite was to answer the one unanswered question whether the people were ready for it.In considering the vote those who have stayed at home must be taken into account.He did not say they should be counted on the one side or the other; Tmost of them were indifferent, and their position was, \u2018We do not care what you do about the law There had been many things to affect the vote.The fact that no promise had been given by the Liberal party, the repeated declaration of Conservatives that the plebiscite was a sham, the fact that Conservative voters tried to swell the prohibition vote in order to embarras the government, and that some Liberals had refrained from voting because they did not want to give palitical capital to the Tories\u2014all these were factors in the case.But for all that the vote polled for prohibition was a magnificent one, and one that would not and could not be ignored.THE GOVERNMENT'S ATTITUDE.It was a perfectly honest answer for | it promised to do, but he hoped the.day- .hands of the companies or go -without.Inasmuch a8 it is nebessary\u201d tHèt- every prohibition, he, at the risk of being con: | tré \u2018the last twenty-eight years; the government to say that the vote did not warrant legislation, and there was no breach of any expressed or implied promise, but prohibitioniste would not accept it entirely, and he could not hin- self.The Liberal party did everything would come when that government would make larger promises and keep them.The prohibition question had been forced to the front as an issue and it would stay there.His adviee to prohibitionists was to keep as clear aa possible of | party entanglements and make their fight in the country.It should not be made a party football, it would not be made a means of putting ome party in or keeping another out, but would be fought on its merits.Prohibition was thé largest, most important and most comprehensive question before the Canadian people.It stood face to face with nineteenth cen-| tury civilization and demanded an answer as a question on which dépended vital consequences to Canadian homes and people.He for one was looking for a way out and when he saw one he would follow it.He hoped to see a declaration of policy by ome party or the other.Mr.Chauvin (Terrebonne): condemned the Premier for ordering the two members of the Spanish legation, Senors Carranza and Du Bose, out of Canada last year.: MR.CARROLL'S VIEWS.Mr.Carroll, of Kamouraska, in the course of an eloquent speech referred to the size of the plebiscite.He said that as the referendum was not part of our constitution, one must go to its home to learn what was considered a majority.In Switzerland, from 1874 to 1892, there were twenty-one popular consultations, and an avérage of sixty-two percent of the qualified electors voted.Formerly the constitution required a.majority of the votes polled and a majority of the cantons, but in 1892 it was enacted that the vote of the communes should be compulsory because it.was found that the majority of those who voted did not always represent the majority of the people.Mr.Carroll declared that Canada is not to-day in a position to legislate on prohibition.Mr.Marcotte was the last speaker, and the House rose at 12.10.MEMBERS\u2019 PASSES.Mr.Bostock (Yale and Cariboo) gives notice of the introduction of a bill to provide for the issuing of railway passes to members of the Senate and House of Commons.The object of the bill is to put the question of railway passes in a different position to what it is in to-day.To-day, as is pretty generally known, nearly every railway in (Canada and steamboat company sends a pass over their line to members and -Sénators, but | it is done as a favor, and if omitted.to any particular Senator or member \u2018such parties must either seek a favor at the of parliament _shotld sea as much.as possible of the coun they shoudl all be entitled to the of free transportation.Of course it Se be desirable to insert a provision that the privilege should not extend to suburban traffic.INQUISITIVE MEMBERS.Mr.Davig is in evidence with another large batch of questions which he will put to the government at the very first opportunity.They are for the most part made up of enquiries affecting the government's managment and policy in the Yukon.Among other metions which he will put is one for ell papers in connection with the removal of the.gold commissioner, Mr.Fawcett.Mr.Davin will also ask whether the statement is true that the Commissioner has imposed a tax on women of professed immoral character in Dawson.Mr.Davia -de- sires that: a copy of Mr.Coste\u2019s report on the route to the Klondike gold fields via the Stickeen and Teslin Lake be laid on the table of the House.Dr.Rutherford (Macdonald} will move a resolution in favor of the appointment of a board of railway commissioners, clothed with full authority to ehforce the provisions of the Railway» Act, to prescribe and enforce the obmerwamce of such regulations as may be necessary, in the public interest.Mr.Marcotte will ask how much money has been paid to the Baie deg-Chaleurs Railway to date by the government.Dr.Douglas will ask what number of permits or licenses to import liquor into Yukon have been issued by \u2018the government from Sept.1, 1897, to date ; what are the quantities.so permitted to be brought in, and to\u201dwhom grañted.Mr.Casgrain will ask what efforts have been made by the government since last session toward repratriating French- Canadians who have emigrated to the United States ; what inducements were held forth to bring them back, and where have such families settled.Mr.Prior (Victoria).will apply for a statement showing the amounts voted and expended by the Dominion Covern- meat on the harbor of Montreal, during ato the amounts expended on the harbor of Victoria, B.C.i \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 BICYCLE PATHS FOR NEW YORK.Albany, N.Y., March 27.\u2014Governor Roosevelt to-day signed the bill of Senator Ellsworth authorizing the appointment in the several counties of the mate of boards of sidepath commissioners who are clothed with power to conetruct side paths, collect ligense fees, and enforce ordinances for the

Chambers to Warren streets, Three alarms were sent in, and at one time it looked as if the fire would spread, but by good work on the part of the fire force it was quickly gotten -under control.Estimates place the damage from fire and Water at $100,000.There was $750,000 worth of stock in the building.Boston, Mass, March 27.\u2014Three of the upper iloors of the five-story granite block, 91 to 93 Federal street, this city, were badly damaged by fire to-day.The fire started on the fourth floor, occupied by the Boston Mailing Company, apparently from spontaneous combustion.The building was occupied by a dozen or more firms engaged in the printing and print ing supply trade.The loss is estimated at about $45,000, The Boston Mailing Com- -pahy\u2019s loss will be felt by many publishers of monthly and weekly periodicals, as many of their mailing lists were destroyed, among them being that of the \u2018EL.A.W.Bulletin\u2019 This will cause con- \u2018siderable delay in

In the present battle, this was done in several cases, but the smoke, tne confusion, the med excitement, the rcvere losses which had been sustained of both gunners and guns on board the ships of A fleet, all these éauses worked together in favor of the destroyers, and when, added to the furious recklessness end utter di rd of injury to themselves with which they were handled, soon neutralized the decided and vast ndvantage which had been ganied by A fleet.\u2018The fatal rush resulted in the disabling of the whole of A fleet excepting two ships.Singularly enough, these were the \u2018Active\u2019 and the \u2018Alert\u2019, the ships which had started the fearful malee, and these were saved by the fact that they were in headlong pursuit of Admiral Sharp in the \u2018 Beelzebub.\u2019 Admiral Sturdy\u2019s flagship, the \u2018 Abad- don,\u201d was the \"last afleat of those which \u2018Alert, in case of their needing assis tance.A few hulls were floating, helpless and barmiess, the men remaining on.them also watching intently the deadly finish of the battle.The \u2018Alert\u2019 and \u2018Active\u2019 were steaming at their utmost speed straight for the \u2018Beelzebub.\u2019 As each of them was superior to her in speed, it seemed that one or both must soon reach her, unless she could disable them by the running fire which ahe was keeping up.This was & contingency hardly to be expected, as a stern fire from one ship at the bows of two ships following her is not likely to prove fatal to them.There seemed to be some stir on her deck which attracted the attention of both Captain Dashleigh and Captain Rekless.On looking through their glasses, they made out that it was caused by a number of men working hurriedly on two boats.; \u2018Wise man, Admiral Sharp,\u2019 was the substance of what passed through the knows what to expect.\u2019 Still they held their course and gradually neared the flagship.But a new development somé- what puzzled them.The \u2018Beelzebub \u2019 was put about slightly \u201880 as to present her partial broadside to her pursuers, and the commotion of the water at her stern shewed that her engines had been reversed in order to stop her headway, and bring her to a stand- still.The two boats which had been repair- THE BOATs HAVE VANISHED INTO FRAGMENTS\u201d were torpedoed by the destroyers.She had been struck by a torpedo just before the engine-room compartment, and the explosion had opened up that compartment as well as the botler-room.Finding that she was settling fast, the Admiral ordered all hands to muser on deck.Useful beats there were none, the hail of shot having riddled them through and through long before.When all who were living and able had struggled on to the deck, the Admiral spoke from the bridge.\u2018My lads, having done all you can for your country, I want you to try to save yourselves by cutting away all spare spars and disabled boats and throwing overboard grating and any other loose gear which will keep a man afloat.Then jump after them as quickly as possible.I thank you one and all, and,\u2019 he added, with a grim attemnt at humor, \u2018in reward for your good service, I grant you unlimited leave from the ship.\u2019 \u201cAnd you, Admiral 7 came in 2 Ques tioning tone from apparently every throat.\u2018You know my duty, boys! I shall be the last to leave the ship.\u2019 No time was lost, everything which would float was hurriedly cast overboard.or, if too heavy, it was cut loose and left to float down from the ship when she went down.Then every man east himself into the water, Even those who could not swim did nat wait to secure any means of safely, before turning towards the Admiral to see him safely clear of the ship.Such an evidence of universal respect and devotion touched the old Admiral more than all which had occurred before.He leaped from the bridge and joined them.All faces were immediately turned from the ship, and swimmers supporting non-swimmers they made their way to leeward as fast as possible.They had covered but a short distance from the noble ship before she gave two hezvy lurches, then slowly heeled over and disappeared from view, apparently turning completely upside down.Such debris as survived and emerged from the vortex caused by her sinking was taken possession of by the men .in the water, who supported themseives by its means and gazed with fascinated eyes at the last scene in the conflict.The only ships now afloat besides the disabled \u2018Administrator,\u2019 were the \u2018Beelzebub,\u2019 and the \u2018Active,\u2019 and \u2018Alert,\u2019 which still retained their speed unimpaired.The nine destroyers belonging to B fleet had to a boat been sunk or disabled either before or after firing their tor- vedoes.The two belonging to A fleet had been obliged to patrol round the \u2018Administrator,\u201d to prevent the B fleet destroyers from sinking her, until it was too late for them to come into the main action.They were following the \u2018 Active\u2019 and adieu is 1 ed were hastily slung over her side on the off side from the A ships.Another minute or two and the two boats rounded the stern of the \u2018Beelzebub,\u2019 fully manned, and pulled towards the \u2018Active\u2019 and \u2018Alert\u2019 One which made for the \u2018Active,\u2019 carried the Admiral himself, as was evident from the flag carried at her stern.The other boat carried the flag captain, and was steered towards the \u2018Alert.\u2019 Dashleigh and Rekless, not knowing what to make of this move, and considering the \u2018Beelzebub\u2019 sure prey whenever they pleased\u2014as she had now ceased firing and stopped her engines, only working them now and again in order to keep the beats between herself and the A ships\u2014stopped as if by mutual arrangement to see what would come of it.They had some faint idea that his sudden reverse had unhinged the Admiral\u2019s mind, and that he was going to try to capture their ships by boarding them with half-a-dozen men, \u2018At any rate,\u2019 thought they, \u2018we shall have the satisfaction of carrying him into port a prisoner, and of taking the \u2018Beclzebub\u2019 as a prize instead of sinking er.\u2019 The boats were pulled steadily on and now they came close and were hailed from tbe ships which they were approaching, but not a man on either bcat answered a word.The coxswains\u2014who were the admiral and flag captain themselves\u2014steered their boats towards the gangway ladders of the A ships, or rather towards where the gangway ladders Had been, as if it were their intention to come on board.Meanwhile Dashleigh and Rekless locked on half amused and half pityingly.The men on the rafts and hulls which were still afloat .were filled with wonder at the strange proceedings.The two boats continued their courses straight for the ehips, these coxswains of high rank, not apparently taking the pains to bring them alongside in the orthodox seamanlike fashion, but steering as if intending to ram the deadly rams themselves in sport with their cockleshell boats.Another instant there are two tremendous explosions ; the boats and their occupants have vanished into the smallest of fragments; the two ships heel over violently ; columns of foaming water rise at their sides twenty feet above their bulwarks, and when the ships roll back again the sea rushes into them.Then follow.more explosions, which scatter the \u2018Active\u2019 and the \u2018Alert\u2019 ip broken masses on the sea, and in less time than it takes to tell the tale the doomed ships have disappeared.; It is easy to understand now what has been done.The rowing boats had each a torpedo lashed under its keel in such a manner that its head projected beyond the boats\u2019 bows to ensure itn striking the minds of the two captains, \u2018he evidently |.\u2018| and Bin the rights hand, and bring the holes in the ships\u2019 sides and the explo sions which followed had been caused by the bursting of the boilers owing to the sudden inrush of water into the boiler rooms.The -admiral had determined to sink the two ships which had been the prime cause of the destruction of his fleét, even though at the expense of many valuable lives, including: his own.The \u2018Beelzebub\u2019 struck her flag to the two torpedo boat destroyers of A fleet, which now came up and picked up thé few survivors of the.\u2018Active\u2019 and the \u2018Alert,\u2019 among whom, strange to say, were both Dashleigh and Rekless, so court-martial after all.So ended the first battle between fleets of modern warships.One man-of-war capable \u2018of steaming into port, another disabled, two destroyers and a few dilapidated hulls were all that was left on.the surface of the ocean out of two splendid fleets.And.what is worse, the destruction of life was jn proportion to that of ships, and each side has to mourn\u2019 the loss of the cream of its navy, both of officers and men.How To Make A Paper Box With Handles.Take a piece of good thin linen paper about six inches square ;

Lyd- dy was my mother\u2019s name,\u2019 she mused.\u2018S'pose you're relation to the Wattses over on the inlet, Well,\u201d she continued, \u2018I like the first part an\u2019 I ain't got no call to quarrel with t'other.I.yddy, do you think vou could manage to weave if I could manage to show you how?\u2018T expect so's soon's I got the knack.I \"most know T could,\u201d looking up eagerly with crimson cheeks.She got the knack \u2018surprising quick.\u2019 Misg Marsh herself admitted.In less than a week she could send the shuttle through thie warp with unerring aim and rapidity.She easily conquered the few mechanical movements, and Miss Marsh was forced to confess as well that the strong young «rms could beat up the threads as closely as she herself.Then Miss Marsh sat down to think again.The shoulder was improving.With such help she could dispense \u2018with Dr.Beebe\u2019s services.There would be no need to strain that contrary member of her hody.Lyddy was alone-no near relatives to speak of\u2014she had elicited that much.She was not given to prying into matters outside and was satisfied with what the girl had told her and her own conclusions\u2014that she had come of \u2018good stock\u2019 The Wattses were all decent people, if they were poor.asked your name,\u2019 v me yp DAILY WITNESS.y She felt a new sensation, too.She liked Lyddy.She began to think that here might be one who would become a prop to her in her old age, Lyddy was not \u2018giddy.\" Then came the other idea\u2014that with Lyddy near her she would have the satigfzction of knowing that no strolling circus folks would have an opportunity to get a \u2018pin's worth\u2019 from her.She would not own to herself that it wag a pang other than rheumatic that caused her to heave a sigh as she thought what might have been if Jordan had only conducted his marriage affairs so that now she would not be shut off from all \"blood relations\u2019; for the thought of Jordan\u2019s dhughter somewhere in the world alone would obtrude itself.But he had \u2018made his bed,\u201d she declared to herself, and she fortified herself anew with her oft-repeated assertion that \u2018what she had said she had eaid, and she was fixed as the everlasting hills\u2014she would have nothing to do with them.She grew fixed upon something else.The bright face bending cheerily over the big basket of rags, sorting out for the next curpet so wisely, was a pleasure to look upon.Miss Marsh even had hopes that the mysterious process of \u2018warping\u2019 might be accomplished through her without rch delay.Yes, Lyddy should stay if she would.No one need mention Jordan\u2019s folks again.With this determination she found herself humming as Lyddy worked at the loom.7 \u2018And not\u2014a wave\u2014of tron\u2014ble roH\u2019\u2014 Her song was interrupted as once before.In.Beebe stood in the doorway smiling upon her.\u2018I'm glad, Miss Marsh, to see you've reached that state.I knew you would if you would only let yourself do the right thing.\u2019 \u201cIf by the right thing you ican getting somebody who lms sense enough to weave, I s\u2019pose I did.Come in; you haven't been near since the day vou sent Lyddy here.But I don\u2019t need .your doctorin\u2019, thanks to her.\u2019 \u2018Well, I'm willing to resign practice on ycu\u2014more than willing in this case and glad that you've overcome your senseless prejudice against Jordau's girl.\u2019 \u2018Jordan's girl! It\u2019s Lyddy Warts, she gasped.\u2018It's Lyddy Jordan, your niece,\u2019 suid Dr.Beebe, firmly.For the moment Miss Marsh felt that everything had returned to chaos.Like a flash came back her own query as to the name.Her own inferential blunder was clear.What was queer, she could not muster up a single harsh feeling toward the child.Instead, she felt an increasing anger against herself.Why had the old Becky Marsh set up what she was going to do over what the new Becky Marsh had determined upon.Then she found her tongue.Dr.Betbe must not see her weakness.\u2018I didn\u2019t know it was the girl,\u2019 she said, stiffly.\u2018If I had she\u2019d never set foot in Here, an\u2019 what l'ye aaid L:stiok to.I don\u2019t expect to give an inch.\u201cWell, Miss Marsh\u2014Dr.Beebe had not seated himself and now he stepped outside.There he stood and finished bluntly\u2014 I've always said you neaded doctoring for something else than rheumatism, and you do.You need something to draw out that stubborn will of yours, and if what I've got dcean\u2019t do it, I give it up.It'll be like a Spanish fly-blister, I suppose; but I can\u2019t help it.\u2019 \u2018Say what you're goin\u2019 to an\u2019 done with it,\u201d said Miss Marsh, bracing hee- self up, figuratively speaking, as the doctor paused at the sound of Lyddy\u2019s fresh voung voice which came to them from the loom-rcom beyond.\u2018 Becky Marsh, if you let your brother's child go homeless just because vou've set up that you'll have nothing to do with anything of his, you need never expect to read your \u201ctitle clear to mansions in the skies,\u201d \u2019 as the words of the Lymn floated in to them.\u2018Good-day.\u2019 Miss Marsh was alone.The audacious doctor was driving from the gate hefore she realized it.The steady swing of the loom outside was the cnly sound except the old tune as Lydy\u2019s voice swayed in it with her work.She must face it now.Had she done right Was there any reason why she should hold to the old will \u2018in the matter.Dr.Beebe's warning came again and again as Lyddy\u2019s tones rose and fell.Lyddq was her own kin\u2014she liked her.The girl did look like Jordan, come to {think of it.She had liked Jordan.T'here was a time when the freckled-faced, towheaded half-brother.had thought the world of sister Becky.Lyddy\u2014and he had named her after their mother, too.She suddenly gulped down a sob.\u201cWhat a fool I am !\u2019 she straightened herself up sternly :\u2014 \u2018Should earth\u2014against-my soul\u2014engage,* And fle\u2014ry darts\u2014be hurled, Thon I\u2014can smile\u2014at St\u2014tan\u2019s rage, And face\u2014a frown-ing world.\u2019 Lyddy's voice rang out joyously above the loom clatter.Miss Marsh, listening, dropped her face in her hands.Then she rose unsteadily.She opened the woodshed door.\u2018Lyddy Marsh I\u201d she called, abruptly.\u2018Ma'am I\u2019 The girl at the loom dropped the shuttle in consternation as her name was emphasized by ber aunt's lips.She looked up beseechingly.\u2018Lyddy Marsh, this is to be vour home hereafter.You and Pre all that's left, an\u2019 it won't be my fault if things don\u2019t go right \u2019twixt us.\u201d\u2019 Nobody ever knew how much that speech cost Miss Marsh.But she was conscious that she felt more than repaid for the surrender when Lyddy, EpTing- | ing from her seat, threw her arms about | her with the words, \u2018I did so want to | come to you, Aunt Becky.\u2019 Miss Marsh even sent for Dr.Beebe.He met her with a provoking smile.She answered ler interpretation of it isefore he could speak.\u2018Oh.T ain't the first cne th:t sings!

When he reached the little sckool- houee at Miss Penelope\u2019s he found all the} -.: other children there; but he did not show them his cooky nor his penny, nor did he tell Miss Penelopa that they must call him Jacob after this.Ile knew the caraway-seed cooky would be a novelty to them, for he had learncd that in Georgia cookies became \u201c tes- cakes,\u2019 and that when tbe Georgia children \u2018pieced\u2019 it was genorally cn corn bread, cakes, crusties, or, better\u2019 fill, cold sweet potatoes.When he thought of how he would feel with ail chs children calling him Jacob little: lurips wouid | - come into his throat and something blurred and made all the letters run together in the bite spelling-book.At recess they all 1an out to play marbles on the white-sanded driveway ; hut John Jacob left the other children and climbed the fence and slid along the top rail till he was in the shade of a big liveoak.He took the penny out of his pocket and carefully examined each \u2018wide, \u201cdnd: rubbed it upon the knee.of -his Lrousers to see if he could brighten it.Then he undid the cooky.Hcw crisp it lvoked, and how even and perfect were the scallops of its border! Ile counted nineteen fat litWle caraway-seeds on its\u2018linder side.But he did not eat it, for he felt it to be one-half the price of his name.He sat there a long time locking at his penny and his cooky.One litte caraway s2ed crumbled off \u2018and lie ste it, and it left a warm pleasant taste :n kis mouth.Then he turned the cocky round and round, and finally concluded |\u2019 just to taste one little scallop ; but he | did not bite off anpther; for just then ,came the thought that if he ate the whole cooky and kept the penuy, his mother, his: teacher, black Martha, the cook, and all the little pickaninnies on the plantation would call him Jacob, and: he could remember: very well how, When his father was sick he: used to pat him on the head and say.; a \u2018My degr little John Jacob, vou rut grow up te be a good men ; a Loy wit two such strong names ought 10 make fine man, and.be a comfort aud biessi ing to your mother always\u201d : He was now but six years old, but he could\u201d remember it all very well, \u2018He was a pathetic looking little figure ps he sas there on the fence trying to Keep the tears from running down éut «f his brown eyes as he tried to reconcile himself to givipg up the mame he knew big father had given him.i Finally he got down from the fenced and went back into the schoolroora end put both the treasured penny and the precious cooky, with its one scallop gore, into his school-bag.When school was out he ran ahead of all the others, and, reaching home, dashed up the long piazza steps through the long, wide hall and into his mothars bi room.As he saw her he burst out crying, as he threw himself into her arms and Û sobbed out : \u201cMother, T don\u2019t want the cool:y, and I don\u2019t want the penny, and I can\u2019t te changed to Jacob ! She took him in her arms and held him close while he told her all ebout the long day, and how he had tried tq decide that he could te called Jacob, and that he had bitten one scallop\u2019 cut of the cooky, but no more.) By and by she got up and pat.away the discarded cooky and the scorned peuny, and little John Jacob knew by \u2018hat that he was to continue the possessor of the naine which he liked so muéh, and which alone could make him feel like the same little boy who had come all the way from Massachusetts to live cn a Ceprgia plantation.And to say that as he grew up he still | set such value on his name that it grew to be one which all men honored and respected, would not be saying one half enough.BIBLE TRIPLETS.TUESDAY, MARCH 28.a.WRITTEN FOR OUR SAKES, 1.A Question.\u2014Saith He it: for our sake?Yes, for our sake.It (scripture) was written.I.Cor.ix., 10.Our Lord often reminded his hearers that they were to be guided by what was written | in the Scriptures.(It is not what men say, cr teach, or think, but \u2018what saith the Lord\u2019 In reading the bible we should ask ourselves, What does this teach me?) 2.An Example.\u2014These things happened unto them by way of example, L Cor.x, H.(Types or models.)

have suffered at the hands of the \u2018sharks.\u2019 One or two of these cases will sufficiently show the methods adopted by the note- shavers.\u2019 : :À yeung man; holding a good position, by some unfortunate means got into difficulties.He had to raise a certain sum of money by a certain day, and lool- ed round for the easiest way of raising it.Telling hig difficulty to a friend, the latter at once offered to introduce him to a certain well-known \u2018note-shaver\u2019 in the city.The offer was accepted, and the two proceeded at once to the office mn question.After the introductions were\u2019 made, the would-be borrower was put.through a series of questions by one of, the clerks employed by the \u2018shaver, such as name and address, wlere employed,\u2019 what salary, married or single, if the, former, how many children, mother and, re oa mere 0e DER ee] a, father alive, ever had dealings with note brokers before, ever had judgment against him, etc.All these questions being answered in a manmer satisfactorily to the clerk, the applicant is told \u2018to call again on the following day.This delay is asked fér-ta allow the \u2018shaver\u2019 an opportunity of \u201cenquiring into the antecedents, char- atter, etc., of the applicant, and if the réport is favorable the money is forthcoming; .if not, the loan is refused.report wes: ang mad call ell on the following day, \u2018he was \u2018handed a note for $50, payable in thirty days, with the proviso that if not then paid, ifiterest at the rate of \u201ctwelve percent per mofith would be charged.The borrower was instructed to go and get the note endorsed, and return for the money at a certain hour.This he did, getting the friend who had introduced him to the \u2018shaver\u2019 to endorse his note.}le then went for his money, and received, not the 856 for which the note was made out, and which amount he fully expected to receive, but $40, the \u2018shaver\u2019 informing him, with great suavity, that he had to charge $10 for discount and other charges.The young man protested at the largeness of the amount, but te no avail ; and being terribly pushed for money, he was, perforce, compelled to take what the \u2018shaver\u2019 offered.\u2018Thirty days soon slipped around\u2014the note was due, but the borrower was un- ablé to meet it.There was nothing to be done but get a renewal.This he did, paying the \u2018shaver\u2019 six dollars \u2018interest.Month after month slipped by, but the ubfortunat?young man was still unable ta pay the money he had borrowed, and therefore month by month he continued to pay his \u2018interest\u2019 at the rate of six dollars; and #0 a year passed, the borrower iri \u2018tte meantime havidg paid to the \u2018éhark\u2019 $72 for a loan of $40 and he still owed the lender 350.Then he was taken ill.and svhem the ensuing thirty days came round, he \u2018was unable to pay even thin: indiment He.went tp.the \u2018shaver\u2019 abd begyed: kin, with tears in his eyes, to-give him a little time.The \u2018shaver\u2019 would only zonsent to grant him *hree deys\u2019 grace, telling him that .if the note was not taken up or the interest paid by\u2019 that time, the thing would have to be protested.\u2018Where to look for money the unfortunate borrower did not know.He went round to his friends and explained his position, but he was invariably met with the answer, \u2018Sorry I can\u2019t help you, old man ; but hard up\u201d He went to his endorser, but that young man coolly informed: him that he thought he had done enough for him in lending him his name ; however, he was leaving the city that night, and he advised his young friend to get some one else to endorse his notes in the future.And this from the man who had in the first place introduced \u2018his young friend\u2019 to the unscrupulous \u2018shaver I\u201d Utterly discouraged, and not yet fully recovered from his illness, the unfortunate borrower made another appeal to his bondmaster, promising to pay the interest as soon as he was able to earn the money.But his appeal was without avail, the \u2018shaver\u201d was inexorable\u2014the interest must be paid by the date first mentioned or the note would be protested.The young man at last gave up\u2014he had done all he could, he had humbled himself to this - umserupulous.money-lender as he had pate ASAT aac PABA Leh: Part \u201cir E PLURIBUS UNUM.never humbled himself to any man before, and now he determined to allow things to take their course.And things did take their course with & vengeance! The note was protested, and judgment was obtained ageinst the maker of it, the endorser in the mean- \u2018time having left the ¢ity, as mentioned above.A seisure was put upon.the wages of the young \u2018man, apd this lost him his position, for the by which he was employed made it a rule that any employee who was foolish enough to get into the hands of \u2018note-shavers\u2019 could no longer expect employment from them.And so the young man, just recovering from a severe illness, was thrown into the street, a judgment still hanging over him, which might be put into execution in any establishment ir which he might be fortunate enough to find employment.And he still owed the $50, together with law costs, amounting to almost another 850, he had paid in \u2018interest\u2019 $72, and he only received in the first place $40.This is no fancy sketch, but is true in every particular, and should be a warning to young men to beware of taking the fatal plunge which may lead them into the greedy maws of the \u2018sharks.\u2019 Another case might be mentioned in which the endorser was the sufferer.The latter was seated in his office, working away without a care, when a visitor, a personal friend, was announced.After greetings were exchanged, the visitor remarked: \u2018Say, old fellow, will you do me a favor ?\u2018If I can ; wbat is it ?\u201cJust endorse this note for me, like a good fellow.It is only a matter of form, you know.I have a consignment of goods coming in, and I want the money at a moment\u2019s notice.Of course, I will give collateral security.\u201d The note was for $100, but as the visitor was supposed to be a man doing a fair business as a trader, his friend, after à little hesitation, consented to emdorse the note, on the firm understanding that it was to be taken up when due, and that he should have no trouble whatever with it.\u2019 \u2018Oh, that\u2019s all right, old man,\u2019 ejaculated the visitor.\u2018I only want the money for a few days, and shall probably take up the note before it is due.\u2019 But it was not all right, nor did he take up the note before it was due, nor even when it was due.The maker, in the first place, received only $80 for his $100 note, and he renewed it three times, paying $12 per month interest.his friend lending his signature each time as endorser.Then there was a collapse, the maker of the note failed in business, and the \u2018shaver\u2019 at once came upon the endorser for payment.Tbe latter pleaded that his friend had given collateral security, but this the \u2018shaver\u2019 denied, declaring that the collateral had been swallowed up in the insolvent estate.The endorser refused to settle, and judgment was obtained against him.A seizure was placed upon his furniture, and bailiffs were sent to his residence to make an enumeration.But the endorser would not give in.He determined to contest the seizure, and in the meantime his landlord put in an action of seiznre before judgment for overdue rent.The \u2018endorser did not relish the idef of losing his furniture, which had taken him some years to get together and, with the con- stored his household goods, gnd took furnished rooms until the result of the \u2018shaver\u2019s\u2019 action against him shquld be decided.The action dragged along for over a year, when the endorser finally won his case, but at what a cost! Hë had been compelled to break up a ples sant, comfortable little home, and live in stuffy lodgings for over a year; Hé had been compelled to store his pretty furniture during all this period, the greater part of it being ruined by moths, dust and damp, and he had béen .corn- pelled to attend many vexatious sittibgs | of the law courts and pay various suins] for lawyers\u2019 fees, etc.And why did he do all this ?Simply to oblige a \u2018friend,\u2019 who had promised him faithfully in the first place that no responsibility would attach to him for the use of his signature, Several other cases might be mentioned \u2014cases in which unfortunate endorsers have been compelled to- take notes for large amounts, of which they have never \u2018benefited to the extent of one cent, simply to save themselves from the danger of \u2018having judgment rendered.against them ; but it is believed that the cases cited above are sifficient to show the public the great evils; of the system of money-lending as practiced in Montreal, and it now only remains for some one to suggest a remedy.: : SUNDAY STREET CARS.A Debate in Sherbrooke Street Church Last Night.MONTREAL AND TORONTO.COM: PARED.Considerable interest \u2018was - aroused.\u2019 religious ciroles over he: debate held evening in the Sherbrooke : Street: Methodist Church, under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor Society fof the church.The subject.under discussion was: \u2014 \u2018Resolved, That it is inconsistent for Christian Endeavorers to.ride\" in the; street cars on Sunday.\u201d The affirmatije side was represented by Messrs.Pahñer and J.H.Carson, while the négative was upheld by Messrs.Peard and W.G Burrell, The Rev.P.L.Richardson opened the meeting with devotional exercises, after which Mr.Massen officiated ae chairman.0, RB Mr.Carson, speaking forcibly \u2018against Sunday street cars, quoted scripture tu prove the great necessity of strictly guarding and upholding ;the sanctity of the Sabbath.He feared that the affirmative on this subject night be considered cranky and fanatical, as people generally.are considered who aim to do what their\u2019 conscience dictates as right land just.\u2018Sunday car-riding,\u2019~said Mr.Carson, \u2018is not right.Why?Because it is a direct violation of the command of God.The negative side may say that the fourth commandment has been to a certain extent abrogated, nevertheless, it still stands there, and has never been repealed.Perhaps the argument may be jeorts sent of his landlord.he sub-let his house; ftend à church service in a distant part cf \u2018the city.That is as unnecessary a reason as it is upsound.Members of the C.E.Society, and Christians generally, should attend the church nearest them.Sunday car-riding is not only a wrong act en the part of the passenger, but it ne- gespitates the employment of the \u201centire ttaff of railway employees, deBar¥ing s$hem.from this day .of rest and worship.Sabbath labor is altogether contrary to scripture.It is just barely possible\u2019 that in cpse of extreme necessity the act may he justifiable, but even then the effect of example is extremely injurious.i \u201cMr.Peard, speaking for the negative, claimed that the principle of the resolution differed from that involved in the recent Toronto Sunday street car contest.The conditions between Montreal and Toronto, he claimed, were entirely dissimilar.\u2018If we live according to God\u2019s law we are consistent.We have in the fourth commandment, \u201cThou shalt \u2018do no work.\u201d The Jews translated this liie- rally, and would not even light a fire.But Christ has put a new interpretation on this passage, and he encouraged the performance of acts of mercy and of necessity upon the Sabbath.Therefore certain necessary acts performed on the Babbath would not be sinful, while the performance of the same acts under different\u2019 cireumstances would certainly be bresking the Sabbath, and consequently sinful.Stealing under all circumstances is sinful; but Sunday work, under certain circumstances was not.Sunday cars in Toronto were wrong \u2014 because life there is different from this city.It had numerous parks and convenient fresh-air - {redorts, which were within easy access of the labpring public.Montreal was lacking in these, hence the necessity of \u201creach \u2018these :health-giving re- I.\u201cMr.Palmer strongly supported the affirmative.We cannot interpret the commandments to suit ourselves,\u2019 he {aid \u2018the.fourth, like the eighth, must interpreted literally.Right is right everywhere; \u201cwrong is wrong everywhere; God -is \"God; $verywhere.Montreal compares well.with Toronto in the matter of parks, -etc., and what is wrong for Toronto is wrong for Montreal.Sunday js the Lord's Day\u2014a day given to the World.Jesus did not abrogate the law \u2014he fylfilled it.Christ meant the Sab- ligth for the motorman, the conductor, \u2018and for every man.(Applause.) Wouid Christ take the cars on Sunday to ful- | a preaching appointment?Nay! nay! \u20ac would get up half an hour earlier and tramp it.Then let us keep close to his side, and act in all things as he would have us do.Mr.W.G.Burrell, (negative), said that-.a Christian Endeavorer is \u2018before all things a Christian, therefore, the questian «rt issue related to Christians in general.\u2018The affirmative, he said, \u2018judging from their \u2018arguments, place ail Christians who take the cars on Sunday, in the category of inconsistents.That is rather severe.J am prepared to prove that the Sabbath kept by the Jews was an entirely different observation to that practiced in these latter days.The Jews did many things that would to day be considered Saebbath-breaking, therefore the conditions are differen:, I claim that the convenience of the many is more to be considered than the used that the individual deeires to at- # inconvenience of the few.Would the af- {lets for the parliamentary elections, bad Suxiday:'cart\" to \u2018enable the péor, stifled |\" firmative advocate the dispensing with telephone, telegraph, water supply, elec tirc lighting, etc., on Sunday® These ure innovations that materialized since the time of the Jews spoken of in the biblical history.\u201d He claimed that what may be wrong under one cireun- stance was right under another, and that, therefore Sunday car-riding in case of necessity was not a sin, such as in going to visit the sick, going to preach in isolated places, etc, , Mr.Carson summed up the argument in a five-minute speech.He claimed that 1t was the Cliristian\u2019s duty to guard the sanctity of the Lord's Day, and if they failed in that they would find the Sabbath Day slipping away entirely from them and they eventually would cursed with a Continental Sabbath.After vocal music by the Moses Te |rill, the vote on the resolution was taken.resulting in an overwhelming majority for the affirmative.of the audience, thanked the spealers jor their able addresses, and then Sosed with the benediction.ee ST.LOUIS COUNCIL, TENDERS RECEIVED FOR A ROAD ROLLER.The St.Louis Council met last night, with a full attendance, Mayor Villeneuve presiding.The Mayor announced that the voters\u2019 been deposited with the secretary-trea- surer and would be open to public inspection until April 17.Applications for inscription could not be received after that day.The council then resolved itself into a general committze, Mr.Vanier, the town engineer, being in attendance.Three tenders for n steam road-roller were opened.The first was from the Buffalo Pitts Company, offering to supply a double- cylinder roller, weighing twenty-eight thousand pounds, for $2,960, delivered in Montreal, The second tender was from Sawyer & Massey, Hamilton, Ont., specifying three sizes of rollers which they offered to deliver in Montreal at the following prices: Weighing 27,000 pounds, at $3,000;

a new species of rot, rendering the wood uscless for commercial purposes, is now prevalent.The Bruce lumber district is no longer rich in marketable lumber, and a rise in price is sure to come.\u2019 * The Hon.Mr.Gibson is expected to shortly make an important announcement in the House in regard to the policy of creating forest reserves.A year ago the legislature passed an act authorizing the government to set apart sec- | tions of the country into reserves for the protection of young timber, and to promote reforestation.The first step in the carrying out of that policy is the creation of a reserve of fifty thousand acres, a part of which is in the County of Ad- dinkton, and a portion in the County .of Erontenac.Mr.Gibson will probably announce this fact to the legislature in a be !
