Lake Shore, 103 11-16 ; St.Paul, 99%; Atlantic and Great.Western firsts, 543% ; Denver, § higher, at 25} ; Mexican Central, 67; Louisville and Nashville, 50; Central Pacific, 68%.The Bank of England gained £119,300 in specie during the week.The reserve increased from 42} last week to 43} this week.The bank rate of discount remains unchanged at 3 per cent.New York Stock Market.The market to-day was again in the hands of the beare, and almost every stock on the list was weak.Oregon Transcontinental gave way 2$, and Pacific stocks generally were depressed.One reason given for the decline in Villard stocks 1s that an out-of-town operator has been forced to sell a heavy line cf the sœurities.The bears knew that the stock was te come on the market and hammered prices.Compared with yesterday\u2019s closing the following changes appear :\u2014 Advanced\u2014Pacific Mail, $.Declined\u2014C.B.& Q., §;

above this it is arranged in full sagging puis.The paniers are short, and looped with clusters of red flowers and foliage.The bodice is of the ruby plush, embroidered with gold.Jt is point ed, back and front, ent low at the neck, and has very short sleeves.A cluster of flowers, the same as those on the skirt, is placed on the left shoulder.Silk and velvet brocades are very fashionable, and velvet brocades on ottoman silk, satin, or rep grounds are very elegant.A new brocade called velours jaspe, is very beautiful, it has the effect of marble, and combines a number of different shades.Another in imitation of camel\u2019s hair shawls, in most elegant colors and shades, is very fashionable.In new woollen materials, is surah cloth, which is woven of fine, soft wool; moose, a very shaggy fabric, and bison, a heavily twilled material, which comes in all the new dark cclors, and also in a dull black for mournirg.Walkingskirts are made very much fuller; and chemisettes and blouse fronts are very fashionable.Vests are still very much worn in basque aud polonaises and are made either plain or puffed.They are soruetimnes made of the same inaterial as the dress, or of surah, or French silk batiste, in blue, white, rose, or black, and trimmed with Oriental lace.A very pretty walking costume is composed of deep ruby dilk, plain and figured with gola.The skirt has a narrow pleating, and above that a puffing made of the plain sill, the rest of the skirt, from the pufling to the waist, is for the figured silk put on in large flat pleats.The jacket is also of the figured materials and 1s tight fitting ; it fastens at the neck and waist ; the opening showing a pointed vest, made of white velvet or silk.\u2018I'he hat is round and trimmed with paie gold and ruby feathers.Another pretty out door costume is made of slate colored silk, and brocaded velvet.The gkirt ig of the silk, and arranged in box- pleats, the tunic and bodice are of the velvet.The tunic is draped full across the frout and at the back, and the bodice is mude tight and with a soft vest of the silk.The hat is of alate-culored felt, trimmed with feathers, and a bow of garnet ribbon.Brocaded and beaded ottoman silks, with large patterns in velvet and plush in relief are very fashionable for handsome cloaks.They are very often trimmed with elegant chenille fringes, plain or mixed with jet beads.The most fashionable furs for trimming winter mantles are Astrakhan, Persian lamb-skin, black Russian hare, and a long-haired black far which is a favorite trimming for black cloth cloaks.Clasps have taken the place of buttons oa a great many mantles; crescents, stars, dragons, birds, and the heads of cats, dogs and cherubs, One of the newest mantles is the Terry pelisse.It is cut tight in the back, with a box pleat extending from just below the waist to the foot.The frout is quite loose and is fastened to the waist.The entire garment is trimmed wlth fur.The sleeves are wide and square and also trimmed with broad bauds of fur.A very stylish mantle of brocaded Ottoman is made as follows: \u2014 The frouts are plain, rounded off a little, and fastened with invisible buttons.The sleeves made from the side pieces of the back are squarc and wide.The back piece consists of a plain piece of velvet tapering down from the shoulders to the waist; the sleeves are joined to this velvet, at the bottom of which is a voluminous puff of atin, forming a drapery, finished with a flonnce.The fronts of the mantle are rounded off and lose themselves under this puff.A handsome passementerie ornament is placed at the top of the velvet piece in the back, and a smaller one to hide the beading of the satin puff.This mentle is trimmed round the neck, sleeves, fronts and round the foot with handsome fur.It may be made of woollen brocaded Ottoman, brocaded Ottoman velvet or of silk brocade, in black, or in well matched colored materials.Pokes and capote bonnets are smaller, and round hats are larger than ever.The beaver and fur hats which were formerly so fashionable, have been entirely excluded by the smooth felt hats.Fancy feathers are favorite trimmings for ali kinds of hats, and bonnets, and stufled squirrels, and kittens\u2019 heads are some of the latest novelties, in millimery.Ribbons for bonnet strings are now much wider than last season, and lace is not so popular for trimming ; it is seldom used except on handsome opera bounets.Cloth bonnets are much worn with cloth costumes.They are sometimes made with the crown of cloth, and a rim of velvet.It spoils the beauty of caps and toques to load them with feathers and flowers, even silver and gilt ornaments detract from their elegance.The latest way of arranging the hair [is to dress it higher on the crown, where itis braided loosely and the strands drawn out at intervals, and fastened across the head, with fancy pins.Young girls wear the hair in one long plaid down the back, fastened about half way down by a golden band, like a bracelet.The latest way for arranging the hair in frent, is to cut it in three or four successive lengths, from the forehead almost to the crown, and slight- iv wave it.A new lace made of ecru threads, with the pattern marked by fine white or gilt cord, is called Vandyke\u201d guipure.It looks very pretty as collar and cuffs on black dresses.IBECKIPES.sponge Cale \u2014One cup sugar, one half cup butter, two eggs well beaten, one spoonful soda, two spoonsful cream of tartar, flour to make a stiff batter.Mix the butter and sugar to a cream, then add the ezgs.Mix the soda in hot water, put the cream tartar in the flour, add the soda, and sift in the flour and cream of tartar.To Preserve Apples.\u2014Pare, core and quarter a quantity of apples;

to the usual standard, a IIERALD reporter visited the markets yesterday morning.Ia consequence of the open stale of the weather, vegetables of all kind were found to be scarce, and prices were high in comparison with those of the saine period last year.Cauliflowers were from $1.75 to $3 per doz.; cabbages, from 6Jc to 8)c per doz; Brussels sprouts, from $1.50 per doz., and choice celery, 0c to dic per doz.Potatoes ranged from Ge to 80c per bag.The supply of choice apples was light and prices were firm.Montreal fameuse, 20¢ to 25¢; pomme grises, luc per doz., and cooking apples, 20e per doz.There was not much beef about, but there promises to be a good supply next week.Prices were 12c to 13\u20ac per lb, according to the cuts.Mutton was from 8c to 12¢ per lb.There was & very poor show of dairy produce, and prices ran high.Fresh eggs were 45¢ to suc per doz.; print butter, 80¢ to 55¢ per lb; tub butter, 18¢ to 22¢ per lb.There was a fair show of poultry, and prices were rather high, chickens being from $1 to $1.16 per pair; fowls, Gc to 8c per pair ; turkeys, $2.50 to $3 per pair; ducks, $1 to $1.25 per pair, and geese, 80c to $1.25 per pair.In all departments there is promise of a good show for Christmas, and with a change in the weathey and good sleighing prices will come down, so there is every reunson to be satisfled with the preparations in progress for a cheerful cele- ration of Xmas.Testing Its Merits.So much has bean said regarding the won- derfal cures made through the ald of the spirometer, the invention of Dr.Souvielle of Paris, ex-aide surgeon of the French army, that many eminent physicians have been induced to investigate the instrument, and also the scientific standing of the Int=rnation- al Throat and Lung Institute.Al who have 50 investigated express themselves satis:ied that the physicians comprising the staff of of the institute are thoroughly qualified me- dicai men, that patients rcceive the latest and most selentific treatment, and the spiro- meter is really a valuable addition to medical science.One very prominent phycisian said : If there is enything in inhalation it can be got out of the Spirometer.I am surprised at the owerful effects produced.\u201d Any one suffer- ng from Asthma, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Ca= tarrhal Deafness, Consumption in its first stages or Laryngitis should consult the physicians of (he institute personally and be examined ; If not, write for list of questions and copy of ** Internatonal News,\u201d published monthly.Physicians and sufferers can try ro the Spirometer

regarding additional protection to manufacture of iron, \"They produced an array of figures and asked a bonus from the Government upon every ton of pig and bar iron which would make up the deficiency between the cost of production and the selling price here, and leave a fair profit.Sir Leonard said the Government was fully alive to the importance of the uestion and would be glad to assist in the promotion of iron works and would give the subject the best consideration.The works, if established, would give employment to about 2,000 hands, with a weekly pay roll of $18,000.The deputation, headed by the mayor, from the Free Library Board waited upon the Finance Minister and asked that certain costly reference books bg included on the free list.He replied he would give the matter

the flames breaking out from the oil room amidships.The captain was awakened at once and an | alarm was struck.When the firemen reached the scene the smoke was pouring in large volumes from below, but an effective stream was soon got in play.All those on board except two had been got safely on deck before the fire brigade reached the wharf, but two Frenchmen named Obe and Garnier, were still in their berths in the forecastle.This part of the vessel was enveloped in smoke by the time the water was turned on, but the firemen learning that two of the crew were in danger below, several of them gallantly went to the rescue and both were soon brought above to fresh air.Capt.Larochelle states that he was asleep when the flames broke out, his first intimation of fire being from the second mate.The flames were extinguished after an hour or two of hard work.\u2018The loss is about one thousanc dollars.The cause of the fire is supposed to have been combustion from linsced oil.MANITOBA.The

steamer Princess Louise, off Point Prim, Digby, was commienced at the offices of the Marine and Fisheries Department this morning, before Captain P.A.Scott, R.N., Chairman, and Captains Pritchard and Thomas, of St.J ohn, assisted by Capt.Shaw, of the steamer Beta, and Capt.Mylius, of the steamer Newfoundland.The first witness called was Capt.Richard Guildford, of the Government steamer Newfield, whose evidence was as follows :\u2014I anchored off.Harvey Point, on Thursday, the 29th.I was instructed To Tow the New Ship to Halifax.There was a strong breeze from the N.Wwhen I arrived.There was nothing more done that day until Friday morning, 30th, The wind was then S.E., and dirty, squally and blowing very strong.I sent the second mate and four men with a surf boat at 7 p.m.to assist to launch the new ship.knew nothing about what was going on in relation to the ship until 3 p.m.on Saturday, when a tug brought the new ship down.She was lashed alongside the Newfield to take in stores, ete.I gave them my starboard boat, binnacle and compass.My crew remained on board the new steamer, putting things in order and getting her anchors up.On Saturday night it was cold and raining, with a moderate breeze from the north; barometer 30.25.1 think on Thursday and Friday the barometer registered about 30.00, but I did not observe it closely, my mind being otherwise engaged.1 sent the second mate, second steward and second cook on board the new ship at 5 a.m.on Sunday.The wind was then blowing lightly from the north, the morning being beautiful and clear.The barometer was then 30.30.I weighed anchor at 6.30 a.m., and, after trimming, dropped the new ship astern at 7 a.m.We steamed about seven knots, the wind was from the north (light), and it was beautifally fine all the morning.Passed Apple River at 10 a.m.and Isle Haute at a little after noon, The barom- cter was then about 30.30.No change of weather in the afternoon.When I passed Isle Haute I was about two miles off the land, steering W.S.W.At 2 paw.I observed A Sudden Change in the Weather, the barometer was falling slowly, about one-tenth in two hours, and the sky was clouding over.I then gave a blast of the whistle to Capt.Brown and beckoned to stay, and shifted my helm two points to the S.W_, intending to make for Digby, which, by Fprevious arrangement, we had agreed to do.The glass continued falling and the weather getting thicker, with quite a breeze from the S.E, I could see land, bur was unable to distinguish one point from another.At 4 p.m.the barometer was about 30.12, with the wind blowing light from the S.E.At 6 p.m.it was 30.00, with the wind S.E.by S.I made Digby light at 5.30 p.m.It was about four or six miles ahead, bearing slightly to port, and I was about one and half miles off the nearest land.1, at that time, intended going into Digby.After J observed the light I posted my helm to give the land berth, and about six o\u2019clock we were about one mile from it, the wind being about S.E.by S.Not being able to see the gap, I posted my helm and took a circle off shore.Returning to shore, heading to the eastward, I Did Not Think it Safe or Prudent, being on weather snore, in attempting to run into the gut.At that time it was raining and thick at the times, only I could sec the light.The wind remained 8.8.E.until ten p.m., when the wind shifted suddenly to N.E.with snow squalls, the barometer down to 29.60.I then wentaway full speed from the land, it beginning to snow and look very dirty.I could see the light then at times between squalls.It was distant about three miles, the wind backing at the time, blowing furiously with snow at midnight.I did not see a vessel from the time I left Apple River.A vessel might have seen me without being observed, my lights being like a lighthouse.After midnight I eonld not tell the progress of the shore she was making, my ship at times refusing her helm.The weather steadily became worse with a terrible sea, my ship pitching and rolling fearfully, the wait boats taking in water at each roll.The barometer was down to 29.70 at two a.m.About that time the chain on my windlass, which was attached to a steel hawser, parted.It was explained that the chain was shackled to the hawser as an extra precaution against accident.I immediately stopped the steamer and got two chairs to which I secured the hawser.Both ships were in the meantime drifting to the leeward.After all was made secure I steamed ahead slowly.About three thirty a.m.The Steel Hawser Parted.The steel hawser was about three and half inches, I do not know what it was equal to in hemp.(One on the Board remarked fifteen inches, \u201d) I had one hemp hawser on board, but as it was rotten I put it on shore.I had my cable grappling ropes.Just previous to the hawser parting I made out a light about three miles distant bearing about SSW.1 went in the chart room to ascertain the exact position and I told the engineer to stand by, that we would have to try and find the ship, but in the state of | the weather I concluded not to run any risk by approaching nearer to the shore, it being thick and dirty and blowing such a tentific gale with heavy sea running.I knew it would be tinpossible to approach her without swamping the Newfield, When the hawser parted we were steaming slowly, but then stopped altogether.After I found I could render no assistance I had tlie engines put at full speed and ran.off shore, the wind being then NW blowing a hurricane in which we hardly made any head way.At about seven forty-five made out land bearing off our stern about four miles off.Weather was then thick and dirty.I consulted my engineer and chief officer about looking for the vessel and they asked me : \u201c For God's Sake Will You Sacrifice us AIL?* They agreed with me it was impossible to render the new ship assistance.I did not see the new vessel at the time the rope parted nor afterwards, Before starting Capt.Brown and I had agreed to get into Digby if we found the weather getting bad.When I described the circle spoken of off Digby Gut I asked Capt.Brown to show me his lights and informed him of what I intended doing.He said his side lights would not burn, so I told him to show me a bright white light.The reason why I did not run into Digby was because I did not think it possible to do so and risk the loss of these two vessels, When I took the ship in tow at Harvey\u2019s Point to a certain extent I ¢on- sidered her fit for sea.One chain was bent to the port anchor, bu: the starboard one was unbent though shackled to a steel hawser ; the chains were not shackled together or the inner ends secured.To my knowledge there were no sails bent when I took her in tow.I did not notice any being made to bend them.While going down the Bay there was about six fathoms of one-and-quarter inch chain ; anchors weighed about eighteen hundred pounds.There were ten persons on board including Capt.Brown.I understood from Capt.Brown that good men were to be obtained at Maccan and advised him if that were the case by all means to get them.I had charge of Newfield and Capt.Brown was in charge of the othor.t this stage the inquiry was adjourned.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ANOTHER THEATRE FIRE.The New York Standard Totally Destroyed.NEw York, Dec.14.\u2014A few moments before seven this evening fire was discovered in the Standard Theatre, one of the most popular of uptown places of amusement.The fire spread with rapidity and by the time the firemen were enabled to get to work the flames were bursting from the roof.The upper part of the city was brilliantly lighted up by the conflagration.The theatre has probably been entirely destroyed.The theatre is at present under the management of Brooks and Dickson.The new comic opera \u201cEstrella\u201d was produced there for the first time on Tuesday night at great expense.Gilbert and Sullivan\u2019s operas were always brought first before the American public in this theatre.\u201c Pinafore \u201d was first produced there in 1876.When the fire broke out there was no one in the theatre but a few stage hands and two young actresses, who were rehearsing.They had no difficulty in escaping.The origin of the fire isstill in doubt.The flames spread with such astonishing rapidity that the whole structure was a total wreck within an hour after the fire started.A portion of the rear wall of the theatre, in falling, crushed in a wall of an adjoining dwelling house.Total loss, $80,000.- eee LATEST COMMERCIAL NOTES.The Trauk Line Committee.New York, Dec.14.\u2014The Passenger agents of the trunk lines were in session ail day to-day, discussing the formation of the proposed interior pools, but without coming to a

gentlemnen, including representatives of the city newspapers, met at the store of Messrs.Watson and Pelton yesterday afternoon to visit the factory of the Beaver Cutlery Co.This company, which has been established for the manufacture of cutlery goods in the Dominion, has ite works on St.John street, St.Henri.As it is the first venture of the kind in Canada, and as the output will be ouly of the best goods, the Directors anticipate a ready tiade.The Board is composed of Mr.John Watson, President; N.Trevethi:k, managing director; Edward Blaydes, G.S.Pelton, and Kenneth Blackwell.Or arrival at the works the party were met by Mr.Edward Blaydes, the manager, who'\u2014left a well-established business in England, in conrection with which hisname is known the world over, \u2014who escorted the visitors through the various departments.The first shop visited was the hammer shop, where the steel is manufactured trom its raw state into the shape of the knife.There are at work two hammers, one of half a hundredweight and the other two hundredweight, and & rolling machine.The wood house was next visited,in which were found large stocks of ebony and rosewoods and bones.The former are imported and the latter bought at the city abattoirs.The various processes of preparation of the material for the handles were witnessed by, and explained to the visitors.The bones require more preparation than the woods having to be boiled, cut into lengths, then into the proper sized scales, boiled iu sola, and then pickled ib turpent:ue.The party then proceeded to the tempering shop, where the knives are ground, tempered, lazed and buffed, and the knife proper is nished.The hafting shop, where the handles are prepared, wos next gone through, and in turn the party visited the celluloid shop,

above this it is arranged in full sagging puis.The paniers are short, and looped with clusters of red flowers and foliage.The bodice is of the ruby plush, embroidered with gold.Jt is point ed, back and front, ent low at the neck, and has very short sleeves.A cluster of flowers, the same as those on the skirt, is placed on the left shoulder.Silk and velvet brocades are very fashionable, and velvet brocades on ottoman silk, satin, or rep grounds are very elegant.A new brocade called velours jaspe, is very beautiful, it has the effect of marble, and combines a number of different shades.Another in imitation of camel\u2019s hair shawls, in most elegant colors and shades, is very fashionable.In new woollen materials, is surah cloth, which is woven of fine, soft wool; moose, a very shaggy fabric, and bison, a heavily twilled material, which comes in all the new dark cclors, and also in a dull black for mournirg.Walkingskirts are made very much fuller; and chemisettes and blouse fronts are very fashionable.Vests are still very much worn in basque aud polonaises and are made either plain or puffed.They are soruetimnes made of the same inaterial as the dress, or of surah, or French silk batiste, in blue, white, rose, or black, and trimmed with Oriental lace.A very pretty walking costume is composed of deep ruby dilk, plain and figured with gola.The skirt has a narrow pleating, and above that a puffing made of the plain sill, the rest of the skirt, from the pufling to the waist, is for the figured silk put on in large flat pleats.The jacket is also of the figured materials and 1s tight fitting ; it fastens at the neck and waist ; the opening showing a pointed vest, made of white velvet or silk.\u2018I'he hat is round and trimmed with paie gold and ruby feathers.Another pretty out door costume is made of slate colored silk, and brocaded velvet.The gkirt ig of the silk, and arranged in box- pleats, the tunic and bodice are of the velvet.The tunic is draped full across the frout and at the back, and the bodice is mude tight and with a soft vest of the silk.The hat is of alate-culored felt, trimmed with feathers, and a bow of garnet ribbon.Brocaded and beaded ottoman silks, with large patterns in velvet and plush in relief are very fashionable for handsome cloaks.They are very often trimmed with elegant chenille fringes, plain or mixed with jet beads.The most fashionable furs for trimming winter mantles are Astrakhan, Persian lamb-skin, black Russian hare, and a long-haired black far which is a favorite trimming for black cloth cloaks.Clasps have taken the place of buttons oa a great many mantles; crescents, stars, dragons, birds, and the heads of cats, dogs and cherubs, One of the newest mantles is the Terry pelisse.It is cut tight in the back, with a box pleat extending from just below the waist to the foot.The frout is quite loose and is fastened to the waist.The entire garment is trimmed wlth fur.The sleeves are wide and square and also trimmed with broad bauds of fur.A very stylish mantle of brocaded Ottoman is made as follows: \u2014 The frouts are plain, rounded off a little, and fastened with invisible buttons.The sleeves made from the side pieces of the back are squarc and wide.The back piece consists of a plain piece of velvet tapering down from the shoulders to the waist; the sleeves are joined to this velvet, at the bottom of which is a voluminous puff of atin, forming a drapery, finished with a flonnce.The fronts of the mantle are rounded off and lose themselves under this puff.A handsome passementerie ornament is placed at the top of the velvet piece in the back, and a smaller one to hide the beading of the satin puff.This mentle is trimmed round the neck, sleeves, fronts and round the foot with handsome fur.It may be made of woollen brocaded Ottoman, brocaded Ottoman velvet or of silk brocade, in black, or in well matched colored materials.Pokes and capote bonnets are smaller, and round hats are larger than ever.The beaver and fur hats which were formerly so fashionable, have been entirely excluded by the smooth felt hats.Fancy feathers are favorite trimmings for ali kinds of hats, and bonnets, and stufled squirrels, and kittens\u2019 heads are some of the latest novelties, in millimery.Ribbons for bonnet strings are now much wider than last season, and lace is not so popular for trimming ; it is seldom used except on handsome opera bounets.Cloth bonnets are much worn with cloth costumes.They are sometimes made with the crown of cloth, and a rim of velvet.It spoils the beauty of caps and toques to load them with feathers and flowers, even silver and gilt ornaments detract from their elegance.The latest way of arranging the hair [is to dress it higher on the crown, where itis braided loosely and the strands drawn out at intervals, and fastened across the head, with fancy pins.Young girls wear the hair in one long plaid down the back, fastened about half way down by a golden band, like a bracelet.The latest way for arranging the hair in frent, is to cut it in three or four successive lengths, from the forehead almost to the crown, and slight- iv wave it.A new lace made of ecru threads, with the pattern marked by fine white or gilt cord, is called Vandyke\u201d guipure.It looks very pretty as collar and cuffs on black dresses.IBECKIPES.sponge Cale \u2014One cup sugar, one half cup butter, two eggs well beaten, one spoonful soda, two spoonsful cream of tartar, flour to make a stiff batter.Mix the butter and sugar to a cream, then add the ezgs.Mix the soda in hot water, put the cream tartar in the flour, add the soda, and sift in the flour and cream of tartar.To Preserve Apples.\u2014Pare, core and quarter a quantity of apples;

to the usual standard, a IIERALD reporter visited the markets yesterday morning.Ia consequence of the open stale of the weather, vegetables of all kind were found to be scarce, and prices were high in comparison with those of the saine period last year.Cauliflowers were from $1.75 to $3 per doz.; cabbages, from 6Jc to 8)c per doz; Brussels sprouts, from $1.50 per doz., and choice celery, 0c to dic per doz.Potatoes ranged from Ge to 80c per bag.The supply of choice apples was light and prices were firm.Montreal fameuse, 20¢ to 25¢; pomme grises, luc per doz., and cooking apples, 20e per doz.There was not much beef about, but there promises to be a good supply next week.Prices were 12c to 13\u20ac per lb, according to the cuts.Mutton was from 8c to 12¢ per lb.There was & very poor show of dairy produce, and prices ran high.Fresh eggs were 45¢ to suc per doz.; print butter, 80¢ to 55¢ per lb; tub butter, 18¢ to 22¢ per lb.There was a fair show of poultry, and prices were rather high, chickens being from $1 to $1.16 per pair; fowls, Gc to 8c per pair ; turkeys, $2.50 to $3 per pair; ducks, $1 to $1.25 per pair, and geese, 80c to $1.25 per pair.In all departments there is promise of a good show for Christmas, and with a change in the weathey and good sleighing prices will come down, so there is every reunson to be satisfled with the preparations in progress for a cheerful cele- ration of Xmas.Testing Its Merits.So much has bean said regarding the won- derfal cures made through the ald of the spirometer, the invention of Dr.Souvielle of Paris, ex-aide surgeon of the French army, that many eminent physicians have been induced to investigate the instrument, and also the scientific standing of the Int=rnation- al Throat and Lung Institute.Al who have 50 investigated express themselves satis:ied that the physicians comprising the staff of of the institute are thoroughly qualified me- dicai men, that patients rcceive the latest and most selentific treatment, and the spiro- meter is really a valuable addition to medical science.One very prominent phycisian said : If there is enything in inhalation it can be got out of the Spirometer.I am surprised at the owerful effects produced.\u201d Any one suffer- ng from Asthma, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Ca= tarrhal Deafness, Consumption in its first stages or Laryngitis should consult the physicians of (he institute personally and be examined ; If not, write for list of questions and copy of ** Internatonal News,\u201d published monthly.Physicians and sufferers can try ro the Spirometer

Government Stock Herd Wanted\u2014Sabbath Observance\u2014 Mr.Roe of Lennox Again.ToroNTO, Dec.14.\u2014Collins & Worthington, representing American capitalists, waited upon Sir L.Tilley this morning, regarding additional protection to manufacture of iron, \"They produced an array of figures and asked a bonus from the Government upon every ton of pig and bar iron which would make up the deficiency between the cost of production and the selling price here, and leave a fair profit.Sir Leonard said the Government was fully alive to the importance of the uestion and would be glad to assist in the promotion of iron works and would give the subject the best consideration.The works, if established, would give employment to about 2,000 hands, with a weekly pay roll of $18,000.The deputation, headed by the mayor, from the Free Library Board waited upon the Finance Minister and asked that certain costly reference books bg included on the free list.He replied he would give the matter consideration.LC The Agricultural and Arts Association met this afternoon and decided to memo- ralize the Government to provide sufli- cient funds to procure and keep at the model farm, Guelph, first-class animals of Durhams, Galloways, Herefords, polled Angus, Ayrshires, Holsteins and Jerseys, and that stock sold from the farm be sold under such conditions to induce their rc- tention in the Province for the improvement of stock.They also agreed to petition the Government in favor of the Torren\u2019s land system.The Sabbath Observance Committee, representing different denominations, have

MARITIME PROVINCES.Fire on the Government $8.Napoleon TEE.Harirax, N.S., Dec.14.-\u2014\u2014Tlis morning the watchman on board the Government steamer Napoleon III.discovered the ship to be on fire, the flames breaking out from the oil room amidships.The captain was awakened at once and an | alarm was struck.When the firemen reached the scene the smoke was pouring in large volumes from below, but an effective stream was soon got in play.All those on board except two had been got safely on deck before the fire brigade reached the wharf, but two Frenchmen named Obe and Garnier, were still in their berths in the forecastle.This part of the vessel was enveloped in smoke by the time the water was turned on, but the firemen learning that two of the crew were in danger below, several of them gallantly went to the rescue and both were soon brought above to fresh air.Capt.Larochelle states that he was asleep when the flames broke out, his first intimation of fire being from the second mate.The flames were extinguished after an hour or two of hard work.\u2018The loss is about one thousanc dollars.The cause of the fire is supposed to have been combustion from linsced oil.MANITOBA.The

progress, and the outlook for the engineers is gloomy, as the company was able to-day to despatch trains east, west and south.There does not appear to be any special desire by the company to come to terms with the men, though the latter have made overtures for settlement.Mr.Van Horne has telegraphed from Montreal that engineers in -Chicago are ready to come if the matter is not settled to-mor- row.The two Stephensons, who murdered McCarthy at Qu\u2019Appelle, and whose execution was delayed till to-day, have been respited for another month on account of new evidence.A Port Arthur despatch

supplies.-_\u2014\u2014 THE SS.PRINCESS LOUISE.Opening of the Court of Enquiry at Halifax.Evidence of the Newfeld's Captain.HauL1FAX, N.S., Dec.14.\u2014The official enquiry into the loss of the new steamer Princess Louise, off Point Prim, Digby, was commienced at the offices of the Marine and Fisheries Department this morning, before Captain P.A.Scott, R.N., Chairman, and Captains Pritchard and Thomas, of St.J ohn, assisted by Capt.Shaw, of the steamer Beta, and Capt.Mylius, of the steamer Newfoundland.The first witness called was Capt.Richard Guildford, of the Government steamer Newfield, whose evidence was as follows :\u2014I anchored off.Harvey Point, on Thursday, the 29th.I was instructed To Tow the New Ship to Halifax.There was a strong breeze from the N.Wwhen I arrived.There was nothing more done that day until Friday morning, 30th, The wind was then S.E., and dirty, squally and blowing very strong.I sent the second mate and four men with a surf boat at 7 p.m.to assist to launch the new ship.knew nothing about what was going on in relation to the ship until 3 p.m.on Saturday, when a tug brought the new ship down.She was lashed alongside the Newfield to take in stores, ete.I gave them my starboard boat, binnacle and compass.My crew remained on board the new steamer, putting things in order and getting her anchors up.On Saturday night it was cold and raining, with a moderate breeze from the north; barometer 30.25.1 think on Thursday and Friday the barometer registered about 30.00, but I did not observe it closely, my mind being otherwise engaged.1 sent the second mate, second steward and second cook on board the new ship at 5 a.m.on Sunday.The wind was then blowing lightly from the north, the morning being beautiful and clear.The barometer was then 30.30.I weighed anchor at 6.30 a.m., and, after trimming, dropped the new ship astern at 7 a.m.We steamed about seven knots, the wind was from the north (light), and it was beautifally fine all the morning.Passed Apple River at 10 a.m.and Isle Haute at a little after noon, The barom- cter was then about 30.30.No change of weather in the afternoon.When I passed Isle Haute I was about two miles off the land, steering W.S.W.At 2 paw.I observed A Sudden Change in the Weather, the barometer was falling slowly, about one-tenth in two hours, and the sky was clouding over.I then gave a blast of the whistle to Capt.Brown and beckoned to stay, and shifted my helm two points to the S.W_, intending to make for Digby, which, by Fprevious arrangement, we had agreed to do.The glass continued falling and the weather getting thicker, with quite a breeze from the S.E, I could see land, bur was unable to distinguish one point from another.At 4 p.m.the barometer was about 30.12, with the wind blowing light from the S.E.At 6 p.m.it was 30.00, with the wind S.E.by S.I made Digby light at 5.30 p.m.It was about four or six miles ahead, bearing slightly to port, and I was about one and half miles off the nearest land.1, at that time, intended going into Digby.After J observed the light I posted my helm to give the land berth, and about six o\u2019clock we were about one mile from it, the wind being about S.E.by S.Not being able to see the gap, I posted my helm and took a circle off shore.Returning to shore, heading to the eastward, I Did Not Think it Safe or Prudent, being on weather snore, in attempting to run into the gut.At that time it was raining and thick at the times, only I could sec the light.The wind remained 8.8.E.until ten p.m., when the wind shifted suddenly to N.E.with snow squalls, the barometer down to 29.60.I then wentaway full speed from the land, it beginning to snow and look very dirty.I could see the light then at times between squalls.It was distant about three miles, the wind backing at the time, blowing furiously with snow at midnight.I did not see a vessel from the time I left Apple River.A vessel might have seen me without being observed, my lights being like a lighthouse.After midnight I eonld not tell the progress of the shore she was making, my ship at times refusing her helm.The weather steadily became worse with a terrible sea, my ship pitching and rolling fearfully, the wait boats taking in water at each roll.The barometer was down to 29.70 at two a.m.About that time the chain on my windlass, which was attached to a steel hawser, parted.It was explained that the chain was shackled to the hawser as an extra precaution against accident.I immediately stopped the steamer and got two chairs to which I secured the hawser.Both ships were in the meantime drifting to the leeward.After all was made secure I steamed ahead slowly.About three thirty a.m.The Steel Hawser Parted.The steel hawser was about three and half inches, I do not know what it was equal to in hemp.(One on the Board remarked fifteen inches, \u201d) I had one hemp hawser on board, but as it was rotten I put it on shore.I had my cable grappling ropes.Just previous to the hawser parting I made out a light about three miles distant bearing about SSW.1 went in the chart room to ascertain the exact position and I told the engineer to stand by, that we would have to try and find the ship, but in the state of | the weather I concluded not to run any risk by approaching nearer to the shore, it being thick and dirty and blowing such a tentific gale with heavy sea running.I knew it would be tinpossible to approach her without swamping the Newfield, When the hawser parted we were steaming slowly, but then stopped altogether.After I found I could render no assistance I had tlie engines put at full speed and ran.off shore, the wind being then NW blowing a hurricane in which we hardly made any head way.At about seven forty-five made out land bearing off our stern about four miles off.Weather was then thick and dirty.I consulted my engineer and chief officer about looking for the vessel and they asked me : \u201c For God's Sake Will You Sacrifice us AIL?* They agreed with me it was impossible to render the new ship assistance.I did not see the new vessel at the time the rope parted nor afterwards, Before starting Capt.Brown and I had agreed to get into Digby if we found the weather getting bad.When I described the circle spoken of off Digby Gut I asked Capt.Brown to show me his lights and informed him of what I intended doing.He said his side lights would not burn, so I told him to show me a bright white light.The reason why I did not run into Digby was because I did not think it possible to do so and risk the loss of these two vessels, When I took the ship in tow at Harvey\u2019s Point to a certain extent I ¢on- sidered her fit for sea.One chain was bent to the port anchor, bu: the starboard one was unbent though shackled to a steel hawser ; the chains were not shackled together or the inner ends secured.To my knowledge there were no sails bent when I took her in tow.I did not notice any being made to bend them.While going down the Bay there was about six fathoms of one-and-quarter inch chain ; anchors weighed about eighteen hundred pounds.There were ten persons on board including Capt.Brown.I understood from Capt.Brown that good men were to be obtained at Maccan and advised him if that were the case by all means to get them.I had charge of Newfield and Capt.Brown was in charge of the othor.t this stage the inquiry was adjourned.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ANOTHER THEATRE FIRE.The New York Standard Totally Destroyed.NEw York, Dec.14.\u2014A few moments before seven this evening fire was discovered in the Standard Theatre, one of the most popular of uptown places of amusement.The fire spread with rapidity and by the time the firemen were enabled to get to work the flames were bursting from the roof.The upper part of the city was brilliantly lighted up by the conflagration.The theatre has probably been entirely destroyed.The theatre is at present under the management of Brooks and Dickson.The new comic opera \u201cEstrella\u201d was produced there for the first time on Tuesday night at great expense.Gilbert and Sullivan\u2019s operas were always brought first before the American public in this theatre.\u201c Pinafore \u201d was first produced there in 1876.When the fire broke out there was no one in the theatre but a few stage hands and two young actresses, who were rehearsing.They had no difficulty in escaping.The origin of the fire isstill in doubt.The flames spread with such astonishing rapidity that the whole structure was a total wreck within an hour after the fire started.A portion of the rear wall of the theatre, in falling, crushed in a wall of an adjoining dwelling house.Total loss, $80,000.- eee LATEST COMMERCIAL NOTES.The Trauk Line Committee.New York, Dec.14.\u2014The Passenger agents of the trunk lines were in session ail day to-day, discussing the formation of the proposed interior pools, but without coming to a final decision.It is probable that a definite conclusion will be reached to-morrow.Reduction was decided upon to-day of $2.50 on through tickets on all routes to St.Louis and Chicago in connection with the Wabash, St.Louis and Pacific and Missouri Pacific to Kansas City and points west; of $3.00 to Council Bluffs and Omaha by the same routes and by the Chicago and Northwestern and Missouri and the Pacific, and of $2.50 to St, Paul and Minneapolis by way of the Chicago and Northwestern.This schedule will go into effect to-morrow.If lower rates than thesc are offered by scalpers they will be met by a further reduction by the roads in the joint committee.\u2014_\u2014 ee THE ROSSMORE CASE.Earl of Meath's Protest.Loxpox, Dec.15.\u2014The Earl of Meath has written a letter to Mr.Ion Trant

aid not care to have his wife see him.O\u2019Dondell went below and Carey followed soon after.While they were drinking together Carey said with an cath, \u201cI believe you know me.\u2019 O'Donnell replied, \u201c Yes, you are Carey the informer,\u201d Carey then drew a pistol and attempted to fire, but O'Donnell knocked it upward, drew his own and fired, Carey\u2019s son was the first person to comé toward them.He picked up his father\u2019s pistol.Beyond this O'Donnell refused to talk to talk on the subject.He is in good spirits and hopeful.Arrival of the Hangman.LonpoN, Dec.14.\u2014Binns,

gentlemnen, including representatives of the city newspapers, met at the store of Messrs.Watson and Pelton yesterday afternoon to visit the factory of the Beaver Cutlery Co.This company, which has been established for the manufacture of cutlery goods in the Dominion, has ite works on St.John street, St.Henri.As it is the first venture of the kind in Canada, and as the output will be ouly of the best goods, the Directors anticipate a ready tiade.The Board is composed of Mr.John Watson, President; N.Trevethi:k, managing director; Edward Blaydes, G.S.Pelton, and Kenneth Blackwell.Or arrival at the works the party were met by Mr.Edward Blaydes, the manager, who'\u2014left a well-established business in England, in conrection with which hisname is known the world over, \u2014who escorted the visitors through the various departments.The first shop visited was the hammer shop, where the steel is manufactured trom its raw state into the shape of the knife.There are at work two hammers, one of half a hundredweight and the other two hundredweight, and & rolling machine.The wood house was next visited,in which were found large stocks of ebony and rosewoods and bones.The former are imported and the latter bought at the city abattoirs.The various processes of preparation of the material for the handles were witnessed by, and explained to the visitors.The bones require more preparation than the woods having to be boiled, cut into lengths, then into the proper sized scales, boiled iu sola, and then pickled ib turpent:ue.The party then proceeded to the tempering shop, where the knives are ground, tempered, lazed and buffed, and the knife proper is nished.The hafting shop, where the handles are prepared, wos next gone through, and in turn the party visited the celluloid shop, finishing room and storeroom.There are now employed in the factory some 40 hands, all of whom have been specially brought from Sheffield, England, where they have all served a long term at their trades.They are all competent workmen, and Mr.Blaydes, the manager, is confident that their manufacture will compare most favorably with that of any other country.At present the Company are turning out thirty gross per day, but as their trade in- ereascs their staff will be augmented.Some of the employes have been working with Mr.Blaydes for a long term of years and he is fally acquainted with the capacities of each of his men.In Mr.Blaydes the pioneer Canadian cutlery company have certainly secured the right mau, and with the efficient board of directors the Company geems on the high road to success.It is stated that the Company will be satisfied with the present tariff, viz., a duty of 20 per cent.on cutlery and the only favor that they want from the Government is the adinission free of certain materials for handles which now pay duty.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ON THIRTY DAYS\u2019 TRIAL.THE VOLTAIC BELT Co.,Marshall,Mich.,wil send Dr.Dye\u2019s Celebrated Electro-Voltaic
