she was precipitated into the water and immediately disappeared under the ice, drowning no doubt in a few seconds.Miss Butler was a sister of Mrs.Samuel Dows-ley, of Pembrooke.One of the horses was drowned.It is thought that heavy loads of grain which passed over to market cracked the ice and caused the accident.Toronto, Jan.13\u2014The Globe, in answer to tiro action taken by the Baroness Macdonald in regard to the paper\u2019s mentioning her as a participant in the Regina Leader'* Dewdncy scandal, says :\u2014\u201cThe Empire and other journals are exceedingly angry with the Globe for having said in commenting on the 7th on the telegraphic summary of the article that the Leader means Lady Macdonald when it speaks of one of Mr.Dewdncy\u2019s partners as a person \u2018living in Ottawa and wielding great influence.\u2019 It will be seen that iu more places than one the Leader points to a person of high position ; moreover when the scandal was up before, for it is not a new one, the name of Lady Macdonald was connected in the mouth of common report with these transactions.It was this which led the Globe to mention her name as that of the per-\u2019 son hinted at by the Leader.We are very sorry if we have given her pain by so doing, but ihe occurrence has at any rate afforded her an opportunity of denying the story point blank; and we and all others who desire nothing but the elucidation of the truth in these painful scandals will henceforth acquit her of any pariicipatiou near or remote in ihe alleged speculations.\u201d The Ilandcock murder case was continued until 7 o\u2019clock last evening.The case for the Crown was closed during the afternoon without anything having been disclosed to materially alter the aspect of the case as it was at the close of the Police Court investigation.Several inconsistencies were shown in reports of various statements by Handcock as to what the circumstances of the original finding of the dead body of his daughter were, and several medical men were brought forward to show that the fatal wound must have been inflicted by some .sharp, heavy instrument, probably with a handle, hut could not have been caused by a pistol shot or by a fall in the trap door, the latter beiug the theory advanced by the accused.Detective Greer s rid in his evidence that he was present at the second investigation of the skull when the discovery of the particles of lead was made, and look no slock in it.When the case for the Crown closed, Mr.Murdoch, for thu defence, asked that the case be dismissed and not sent to a jury.The Judge, however, held there was a case for the jury, and the witnesses for the defence were called.Several witnesses were examined to show that good feeling had existed between the accused and the deceased, and that accused had been a good father and, according to one witness, particularly fond of his daughter.The most important evidence was that of the medical men, who testified most emphatically that the wound causing death must hare l>cen caused by a pistol shot, evidence directly at variauce with the medical testimony for tiie Grown.A large number of witnesses, including nearly all of the meml>er8 of the Handcock family, were called this morning and Mr.Murdock had fully twenty more ready to testify as to the character of the prisoner,when His Lord-ship intimated that in his opinion the evidence as to character was sufficient.The case was then closed and the Court adjourned until 2 30 o\u2019clock when Mr.Murdock, on behalf of Handcock will address the jury.The evidence in t he Handcock case was all in before the Court rose for 1 inch to-day.Addresses of counsel, Mr.r.C.Clute, of Belleville, for the Grown and Mr.\\V.G.Murdock, for (he prisoner, commenced at half-post two o\u2019clock and with the Judge\u2019s charge lasted until a quarter past five.Judge Street charged strongly in favor of the prisoner, laying great stress on the fact that Handcoek\u2019s daughter had been murdered beyond doubt by a pistol bullet, w Irile Handcock was never known to handle a pistol.The accident theory was abandoned by all parties and counsel for the defence urged that the murder was probably committed by a tramp for the sake of robbery the purse and a few trinkets of the deceased girl never having turned up since her death.The Judge\u2019s charge was so strongly in favor of Handcock, that the general impression of the crowd that jammed the Court room was that the jury would be out but a moment and would immediately acquit.They were out, however, a full hour and a quarter, and then returned with a verdict of \u201cnot guilty.\u201d Handcock, who had Iwrnc up bravely, murmured faintly \u201cthank you, my Lord,\u201d wheu Judge Street pronounced him a free man, and then rushed into the arms of his wife and family, who had stood by his side all day.At the meeting of the Board of Works this afternoon, the plans for the new Diphtheria Hospital were adopted.Dr.Allen asked that the building lie large enough to accom modate 80 Datients.Hospital accommodation in Toronto, he said, is congested beyond belief.The General Hospital is full the temporary isolatiou hospital is full and there is much suffering among the poorer classes because of the lack of accommodation.Diphtheria cases are not diminishing as rapidly as was expected a few days ago, os the prevailing influenza predisposes to that disease.City relief officer Taylor says that the applications for relief this winter are considerably below the average at this time of the year, which fact he attributes to the open weather.Sir Daniel Wilson is still seriously ill.Bishop O\u2019Mahoney is lying at the point of death at his house on Power street ; the trouble is pneumonia.Lt.-Golonel Charles Glarke, ex-Speaker of the Ontario Legislature and recently appointed Clerk of the House in succession to CoL Gillmore, deceased, has been appointed Deputy Lieut.-Governor also, in succession

Lieut.-Governor.Hamilton, Jan.13\u2014The moulders of this city have met and discussed the action of the fonndrymen in asking them to accept a cut of ten per cent and 25 cents per day.The foundrymen

Some of the Ministerial papers place the cost to the Province of Mr.Mercier\u2019s trip to Europe at S*20,000.Another letter of credit for $ 5,000 issued in favor of Mr.Joseph Dussault, printer, has been unearthed.There will be a gigantic political meeting at Joliette, on the 16th inst., at which addresses will be delivered by Hon.Messrs.Beaubien, Taillon, Nantel, Tassé, and Messrs.Tellier, Cornellier and others.In L\u2019Assomption the Conservative candidate is Mr.Joseph Marion.Mr.C.B.Major, an old Liberal, who has declared against the Mercier party, will be the Ministerial candidate in Ottawa County against Mr.Rochon.Mr.Flynn has abandoned the idea of accepting the candidature offered him by the electors of liellechasse.He has still under consideration requisitions from Levis, Matane, Temiscouata and Gaspé.It is reported that he is likely to decide between Matane and Temiscouata.The Ministerialists claim that a preconcert-ed scheme of misrepresentation has been decided upon by their opponents.A number of glaring falsehoods published by Opposition nowspupers wero AüthoriUvtivcly ueoied in yesterday\u2019s Chronicle.Here is another.L'Electeur in its attacks upon the pernonnd of the new Royal Commission, positively alleged that Mr.Damase Masson is a brother-in-law of Lieut.-Governor Angers.This is absolutely false, Mr.Masson is not only no brother-in-law'of the Lieut.-Governor, but he is no relative of his at all.Equally false is the charge of the issue of letters of credit in 1886 from the Crown Lands Department by Hon.Mr.Flynn, when as a matter of fact Mr.Flynn left the Crown Lands Department in 1882.Nothing appears to be so far decided about the vote of the people on the Magdalen Islands.We have been shown a telegram from the Returning Officer, in response to an enquiry from Nit.Achille Carrier on the subject, in which Mr.Lavoie says that in virtue, of a law passed in 1889, an Order-in-Council will have to be passed to enable them to vote in the winter season.We regret to learn that Mr is suffering from la grippe.\\V.0.VanHorne, Esq., Mr.Angus and Mr.Osier, of Montreal, were in town yesterday.Lieut.-Col.Void, Chief of Police, sailed for home on the 7th inst.on board the Dominion as.\u201cSarnia.\u201d Messrs.J.J.Macdonald, E.Boswell and J.Sutherland, of the Temiscouata Railway Company, are in town.We regret to learn of the illness of Mr.J.Gallagher, C.E., and city water works manager, who his confined to his home from a severe attack of la grippe.Rev.Curé Faguy and Abbé H.R.Casgrain arrived at Havre on the 27th December.Abbé Casgrain was suffering at the time from la grippe.Mr.Tinneman, General Superintendent of the New Brunswick division of the C.P.R., Messrs.Colona and Hammond, architects, and Mr.Grant, Secretary, were in town yea-teiday.The W'ew lintel.A large meeting of the shareholders and directors of the Fortress Hotel Company took place at the Union Bank yesterday afternoon, at which the following gentlemen were present :\u2014Hon.John Price, Hon.Pierre Carneau, Messrs.R R.Dobell, H.M.Price, D.C.Thomson, Andrew Thomson, K.J.Hale, Geo.Renfrew, Cyr.Duquel, V.Bos well, C.Champion, J.J.Foote, John Holt, Robert Campbell and others.The meeting was an informal one, called for the purpose of listening to the views of Messrs.VanHorne, Angus and Osier, of Montreal, on the subject of tlio new hotel and the site proposed.With regard to the formation of a Company for this purpose, Mr.VanHorne distinctl Chambers, Policeman ;

January 14,1892.\t L There died in Quebec the other day, a quiet, unassuming man.He held a position which brought him into contact with business men.He was quick at figures, and any clerical ^labour that fell to him to perform, was always done with skill and acceptance.He was popular with thoso who knew him best, but he was never obtrusive, and we have yet to learn that he ever pressed his views on unwilling ears.He was the soul of honor, and any obligation to which he attached the value of his splendid name, was met promptly on the day which called for the settlement of the obligation.John Mack ay was a good man.He was a well-read man.He was a student of the best that we have in the letters of the nation.He was genial and kind-hearted.His purse was ever open to the call of the distressed, and his many qualities of head and heart were only known to the few, who saw in him, a real and sterling man.His jovial laugh will not be heard again by his friends.His kindly admonitions, his exquisite play of fancy, his gentleness of mind, his warmhearted personality, disappear for ever, and yesterday, they carried the once stalwart form to its last resting place.Chiffon Collars, Bows and Jabots in all tne newest shades.Also a splendid variety >f lace novelties at S.Carsley's, Montreal.ÜSBAM A MAGNIFICENT CHOICE RIFLES AND SHOT GUNS, -AND- Robert Air Rifles.125, St.Peter Street, Quebec January 14, 1892.augustS,89 House for Sale.«Ml FOR SALE ON VERY AD-vantogeous terms, that first-class Dwelling with Stables, Coach House, Yard and Garden, now occupied by the Revd.Lennox Williams.Gas, Water and Hot Water Furnaoe.E.G.MEREDITH.Notary Public, 92 St.Peter Street.January 11,1892.St.John Street, Upper Town, and Sous-le-Fort Street, Lower Town.REVOLVERS !

this vote upset the Government.Faithful to the flag you entrusted to me, I followed my respected chief, the Hon.Mr.Taillon.W e be-I came Her Majesty\u2019s Loyal Opposition.I voted with it ; my word was given to yon I and I kept it.\u201c At the last elections, the Coonty was lost to the Conservatives.What means were taken to ensure this result ?The cry of squandering was raised against the Conservative party.The economy to be [practised by the Liberals was preached everywhere\u2014 and that stoutly.That fanions system of economy, which leads to millions of deficit, and hundreds of thousands of dollars of interest, will shortly be explained to you on the bastings.You will weigh this economy ; you will judge it; but especially will you pay it | \u201cYou did me the honor of inviting me to this assembly ; it is convened to chose a candidate.Bo calm and prudent in this choice.The hour is solemn.The moment you cast your ballot in the electoral urn, that moment will count a long way in the history of the country.Reflect; pledge not yourselves rashly.\u201cAnd now that you are warned by your late deputy, permit me to add these words : \u201cHe has devoted to you all that he could, his time, his studies, his health.He has, within the feeble compass of his capacity, done that which you bid him accomplish, his duty.\u201cHe has often been told that his contests at the hustings were frank, loyal and a little too polished, and yet he never knew that such was a defect.\u201cMuch energy is sometimes veiled by politeness.From 1881 to 1892 it has always permitted me and shall still help me to look my adversaries as well as my friends straight in the face.It places me in a position today to tell the Conservatives : \u201cThank you, gentlemen, for the aid you have given to the party ; thanks for the ten years during which you permitted me to act as your deputy and your standard bearer.'Tt permits me to tell the Liberals : - \u201cIn all our discussions, you have listened to me with courtesy.A county gains by treating well those who come before it to discuss the affairs of the country.\u201cYou choose the best room in your dwelling to receive an honored guest, why should it not be the same at the hustings which is the receiving olace of the parish ?and that is what you have done for me, always and everywhere.You have welcomed me as gentlemen do each other.\u201cAfter all courtesy is nota bad counseller, since it brings me to a meeting of electors, who have not always been of the party which I represent.\u201cNow, gentlemen, the hour for deliberation has come.I leave you free.\u201cI will not present myself at this election, but I do not bid you adieu.\u201cYou are going to make your choice : whatever be the name of the person chosen by you, he can count upon my support.\u201cMy health no longer permits me in winter to take part in political contests as heretofore.I leave yon in saying \u2018aq revoir if God but prolongs my life.I leave praying yon to please accept my thanks, and requesting you to convey same to those who are absent, and who, like you, I know to be my loyal and valiant friends.\u2019\u201d A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr.Faucher de Saint Maurice, for all the services rendered by hjm to tho County, during ten years.The proposition vote was unanimously adopted in the midst of the plaudits of the assembly.Manlelpnl Finance*.Mr.Lafrance, the City Treasurer, has recently issued his bine book for the fiscal yesr 1890-91.As usual, it contains a large amount of useful information about municipal taxation.About a third of the real estate in this city is in the hands of the Government and religious institutions and pays no taxes, while the owners of the balance are burdened with all the taxes required to keep the municipal machine running.From the report we gather the principal receipts last year were :\u2014From assessments, $169,277 ; business tax, $47,194 ; personal tax, $52,706 ; markets, $28,724 ; Recorder\u2019s Court, etc., $23,058, water-works, $154,489 ; school taxes, $23,960 ; bailiffs\u2019 collections, $178,136.The principal disbursements were :\u2014Interest, $312,064 ; salaries, $30,504 ; police, $34,618 ; fire brigade, $35,124 ; light and fuel, $29,084 ; roads, $62,759 ; street widening, $22,685 ; markers, $14,600 ; waterworks, $22,722 ; advertising and printing, $4,005 ; legal, $6,145 ; refund taxes, water rates, closets and baths, $28,058; school commissioners, $24,339 ; bailiffs\u2019 collections (amount appropriated), $169,288 ; new City Hall, $1,074 ; construction account permanent works, St.Sauveur, $162,896.The appropriations last year were $532,374 and the expenditure $580,326.Embodied in this year\u2019s report is a very interesting paper by the City Engineer, in which Chevalier Baill&irge discusses, in his original style, many matters pertaining to municipal affairs.Many of his remarks are pertinent, notably those touching street watering, neglected by-laws, etc.He is in favor of substituting paving for macadam on all the hilly streets and commercial thoroughfares.Among other improvements suggested are the razing of St.John\u2019s gate, asphalt flooring for Dufferin Terrace, roadway over the Cove fields, a walk around the foot of the Citadel from the west end of Dufferin Terrace to the Cove fields, new road leading from Mount Pleasant to St.Ours street, an Eiffel tower ou a small scale over the Ring fountain.Newest Silks, Satins, Brocades.New Shades in Surah and Pongee Silks.Newest Evening Dress Textures In Chiffon, Crepe de Chene, Fancy Silk Grenadines, In Lovers\u2019 Knot and other Designs !

fiction of high standard, tht} Librarian would suggest that boitna copies of such works be procured As soon as possible after their publication.The mainstay of the Society Is the library, and there being no restrictions in either the charter or by-laws concerning the purchase of books, the requirements of the members should at least be favorably considered by the new Council.A card catalogue has
