CRIME.Edward T.Hubbell, of Rogers* Hubbell, stock brokers, left the city on Saturday short several thousand dollars in bis accounts with the firm.The defalcation may reach over $10,000.Hubbell went to Montreal, stayed there part of Sunday and is supposed to have gone to New York that evening.Alderman S.M.Rogers, his partoer, is endeavoring to trace him in order to have him arrested.The case is an extraordinary one for several reasoos, above all by the fast that Hubbell once before was in trouble for the misappro priation of funds aud was sent to penitentiary for two years, and on his release was taken ho\u2019d of by friends and placed in an excellent business position.It is rare that a man who made the misstep he did gets a second chance, and rarer still that it is so good a chance.But the lesson seems to h&ve had no effect on Hubbell.His second downfall apparently seems to have been due to precisely the same reasons as the first, namely, speculation in stocks.About a month ago a lady resident in Ottawa asked the firm of Rogers & Hubbell to sell for her some $2.500 of slock in a company in which she held shares.Hubbell disposed of the stock through O\u2019Hara * Co., of Toronto, and on July 3rd he drew on O\u2019Hara & Go., for the amount of $2,500.The lady iu question, tiie widow of a formerly well known citizen, called on Hubbell several times for the proceeds, hut he put her off with the plea that the Toronto firm had not yet forwarded the money.On Saturday she lost patience and telephoned O\u2019Hara & Co., asking them why they did not remit.They wired back that Hubbell had drawn on them for the money two weeks ago and got it.She went to Hubbell to tax him with not accounting to her.Hubbell made excuses aud succeeded in inducing her to agree to taking $1,250 from him at once and the balance later.Then he went to one of the city banks and managed to get a cheque of Rogers & Hubbell for $1,250 honored until Monday, though there were at the time no funds to the credit of the firm.He paid the $1,250 to the lady, aud, knowing that Monday would bring trouble, he left that evening for Montreal.It is supposed that the only reason he paid over the $1,250 is that if he had not done so, he would have been followed at once, whereas by going off as he did there was no enquiry for a couple of days.On Monday, there being no funds to meet the cheque, enquiry began.For a time it seemed incredible that Iluhbci! could have betrayed tlie confidence of a partner who had helped him to ouch un extent and trusted him.As the firm\u2019s accounts were looked into, however, it became evident that there was a very heavy shortage, and to-day it is clearjthat the defal- cation will hardly be less than $10,000.The lr99 will fall on Alderman Rogers, who is determined to meet all the firm\u2019s liabilities in full and will at once set to work to make arrangements to that end.It does not seem probable that anything can be procured from Hubbell, indeed he is not supposed to have taken much with him, if anything.He also succeeded in getting a good deal of accommcdition upon paper which he endorsed with the firm\u2019s signature, 'ihe day before his departure Huh-bell «aid on a leading lawyer wi h whom he had business and as a faver induced him to exchange cheques for $-200.Iu other words, Hubbell got the barrister's good cheque for $200 and gave the legal man a cheque for $200 which was not to be presented at the bank for & couple of days.When it was presented there was no money to meet it.Meanwhile Hubbell cashed the good cheque and has the money.Efforts are being made to trace Hubbell.FRONTENAC COUNTY TREASURER MISSING.Kingston, Out., July 21\u2014The Whig this afternoon announces the mysterious disappearance of Mr.T.F.VanLuven, Treasurer of Frontenac County.He went away a week ago, ostensibly to Montreal, and last Monday his wife turned over the office and vault keys.To-day the Warden and Finance Committee made an investigation and found affairs quite mixed up.In the vault was found $70.They are talking of a special gndit.It is said that the Provincial Auditor found him several thousand dollars short.Friends say that the Treasurer must be ill somewhere.LIMESTONE CITY JOTTINGS.A Committee of the Board of Trade and City Council recommands a bonus of $35,000 to the Montreal Transportation Company to retain it here and aid in the erection of an elevator.On May 24th, William Glennan, an \"A\u201d Battery man, rented a bicycle from J.C.R.Dobbs and never returned it.He deserted from his corps.Yesterday the wheel was recovered near Gananoque by a farmer.The rear wheel was punctured and Glennan abandoned it.TORONTO STREET RAILWAY COMPANY.Toronto, July 21\u2014There is serions trouble between the Toronto Streefc Railway Com: pany and the Village of East Toronto.The latter municipality controls 600 feet of Queen atreet East, which intervenes between the end of the car track and the entrance to Munro Park, the Company\u2019s east end pleasure resort.The railway want to complete this missing link, but have failed to come to terms with the municipality.Yesterday they bad the necessary rails delivered on the ground and the villagers took the alarm and prepared to prevent work being done.The Council had an emergency meeting and decided to remove the rails, and during the night these were dumped down the nearest ravine and where they will cost considerable time and labor to recover.Mayor Fleming and Mr.W.F.Maclean, M.P.for East York, were on hand to see the fun.The Mayor had the Riot Act in his pocket, but nothing hap- Ïened in the city limils to call for its reading.'he Railway Company made no attempt to prevent the damage to its property, but will probably attempt to get even in the courts.MASONIC MEETING IN BRANTFORD Brantford, Ont., July 21-The Grand Lodge of Free Masons opened here to-day.The weather is very warm and sultry.There is a very large gathering of members.The

August 1st.Over four thousand visitors to the Exhibition arrived in the city yesterday.A steady downpour of rain has been falling for the last 36 hours aud in consequence the Exhibition programme haa been upset.The Directors decided to-day to extend the Exhibition for tour days after the rain ceases.The Provincial Plebiscite Convention opened here this morning, The object of the gathering is to organize for the plebiscite campaign.Thomas Coutting, a rancher near High River, was found dead on the trail, about a mile east of that town It is supposed that while driving home he fell out of the waggon and was injured internally and died from the effects.A report is current 'that Mr.Forgot!, of this city,will succeed Hon.Mr.Macintosh Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Territories.A BOGVSS ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST RELEASED._____________ Vancouver, B.C.* July 21\u2014Ruthven, the bogus Roman Catholic priest, who nearly precipitated a riot at Victoria, B.C., has been released on #3,000 bail

EDWARD ISLAND ELECTIONS.CHARrA>TTKTOWs,P.E.L, July 21\u2014ThePro-vincial elections, which were held in Prince Edward Island to-day, resulted in the Peters Government being sustained by a very narrow majority.Complete returns show the election of 16 Liberals and 14 Conservatives, the House having thitty members.Premier Peters ran in two constituencies.He won in Fort Augustus, but was defeated iu Georgetown.It is believed that Commissioner of Crown Lands McMillan has been defeated.Rogers, another member of the Government, lost in Albertoo.In a number of districts the vote was very close aud recounts may materially affect the results given.THREATENED LOCK-OUT IN NOVA SCOTIA.Halifax, N.S., July 21\u2014A lodge of the Provincial Workmen\u2019s Association has been formed at Trenton, near New Glasgow, by men employed by the Nova Scotia Steel Company, Although the men have made no demands, over 200 of them have received notice to quit the work or the Union.Graham Fraser, toe manager,
