demonstrated to his own satisfaction in the naval manœuvres just closed that he could, with his portion of the fleet, break the lines of the defending squadron under Admiral Sir George Tryon, has put to sea, for the purpose, it is believed, of determining how long it would take his supposed foreign fleet to overhaul and disable the principal English merchant traders f§while the home fleet were recovering from the effects of their engagement with the enemy.These manoeuvres differed slightly from preccding events of the kind in that they were largely devoted to ascertaining how far away from a& coast the Leviathans of modern naval construction ean prudentlv conduct hostilities in reasonable security irom the torpedo boats, with which nearly all the continental maritime powers are effi- clently supplied.In other words England would preter to draw her enemy out.as far as possible to the open sea, having confidence in er ability to win a victory apart from the lurking dangers of an enemy's coast\u2014 dangers to which the slow moving, coal con- fuming monitors of the fleet are especially liable.The manoeuvres are considered much more practical and sensible than tke snam attacks on coast towns in Great Britain and Ireland, which,while theatrically attractive, were of slight instruction tothe sailors, an were attended by a series of blunders.er The Belgian Miners\u2019

and Josephine Gurley, who abducted her, sent to the Penitentiary for five years.Mrs, Gurley now gives the public, through her attorney, a con- fessiop) wherein she says she stole the Rod- mond child at the bidding of her husband, who in turn wished: to iurther a vindictive plan of one Mrs.Annic Allen, a woman, according to Mrs.Gurley\u2019s stat:- ment, of questionable character.Gurley is à bigamist, and is now serving a term in the Wisconsin Penitentiary.Mrs.Gu-ley says that John Redmond, the blacksmith, father of the abducted child, was on intimate terms with several women, including the Allen woman.A bill for wines and other stuff, contracted by Redmond at Mrs.Allen\u2019s house, remained unpaid, and Mrs, Allen, becoming spiteful, planned.with the aid of Gurley, the little girl\u2019s abduction.Outside of the anarchist and Cronin cases the Redmond abduction attracted more attention here than anything that ever occurred in Chicago.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 FOILED BY A BRAVE GIRL, A Burly Negro Burglar Weakens at the Sight of an Empty Gan, ARMYVILLE, Conn., Aug.26.\u2014About 3 o\u2019clock this morning at the home of David De- lore, a French Canadian, mill worker, a noise was heard down stairs in the back of the house, and Mr, Delore, who was awake thinking that the cat had overturned a lamp that was always kept burning, hastened down stairs only to behold 8 large and rough looking ncgro rifling a trunk.Mr, Delore, being a cripple, was greatly irightened, his first thought being to return quietly to his bed and let the burglar have full sway in spite of the fact that about $600 was hid away in different parts of the house.But a plucky eighteen-year-old daughter, who had also been awakened by tne nol-e below, did not choose to have the negro carry away her family\u2019s bard earnings, and knowing that there was an old shotgun in a shed outside she crept through the window, secured the gun that had not been loaded for years, and returning to the open window through which the robber had evidently entered, pushed the gun through, shouting, ¢ Surrender or I will shoot!\u201d The territied burglar begged for mercy, unloaded his pockets of the ty already secured, and begged so hard that he was allowed to depart, ing covered by the gun in the hands of the little French Miss until he was at a safe distance.The nearest officer was notified, and although he pushed rapidly after the negro all trace of him was lost.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Coal Oil Stove Exploded.LONDON, Ont,, Aug.26\u2014Miss Peters, a domestic in the employ of R.W.Barker,

expansion of about twenty-three hundred indicated horse pewer.There are two locomotive boilers, It is officially reported that she mado mean speed during six runs over measured mile of $7.4 knots.This

solicitors madé the following statement to the Press: A recent allusion to her in The Free Press was absolutely groundless, and an insinuation lately published in The Evening Journal was also false.in its implication and under her present circumstances put an untruthful imputation upon her.Last winter publicity was given to her domestic troubles by the Preas of Ottawa with many garbled and untruthful details, and copied by the press throughout the Do- miniou.Since the restoration of her children to her last spring she has devoted ail her time to them, and her conduct has been above reproach.For thelr sakeand her own protection she thinks iL necessary to take steps to prevent the repetition of such publications and has given instructions that action be taken against any newspaper

a sailor on board the Allan Line steamship Assyrian, which arrived in port this morning, named McVee, fell from the top-back-stay of the main mast, à distance of 70 feet, falling on the roof of the saloon and receiving terrible injuries, He was at the time of the accident reefing a gantling preparatory to painting the mast and was in the act of reaching to a lock with one hand while holding on with the other, when the weight of his body must have been too much for his one hand.He was picked up and conveyed to the Jeffery Hale hospital in a semi-conscious state,where Dr.Smythe made an examination of his injuries.Both legs had received a compound fracture near the knees, the two ankles and one arm were broken, while under the chin the skin was badly spiiv from coming in contact with

interested in shipping, and in the weltare of the port of Quebec, at the decision arrived at by Messrs.Maclean and Kennedy in trying the shipment of cattle through Quebec.The advantages offerod by the port of Quebec to exporters has always been recognized by everybody, yet the influence exerted by Montreal shippers and traders was so strong that but few vessels would stop here to take in any cargo.Through the strenuous efforts of the Quebec Board of Trade several shipping comyanies will try the port of Quebec as a point for cattle, foreign shipment.One of the difficulties to be met by the promoters of the scheme is the defraying of expenses to build the necessary sheds for the reception of cattle on arrival here from the West.The city and the Board of Trade were called upon tode.ray them, but they refused, giving for their reasons that the Quebec Harbor Commission and the steamship companies should attend to that.Several other drawbacks will also be encountered, but the Board of Trade and several of our leading commercial men have pledged themselves 10 smooth the way in order to encourage this most important inauguration, The first shipment of cattle will take place to-morrow on the steamship Osmanli, which will take in upwards of 700 heads._\u2014_\u2014 TU.8.National Bankruptcy Bill.\u2018WASHINGTON, Aug.23.\u2014The bankruptcy bill was reported to the Senate tc-day,

particular, were made by Mr.T.V.Powderly, Robt.Blossert, Mr.M.Moore and others, and resolutions of lik: purport were adopted.Mr.Blossert and Mr.Mcore recited the wrongs infllsted upon the workers by capitalists, and urged working- mea not to vote for the party that supported the capitalists It was Chauncey M.Depew\u2019s highest ambition, Mr.Blossert said, to be a\u2019 a table with the Prince of Wales at the head.The country did not want that sort of man for Presidont.A letier from Samuel Gom president of the Federation of Labor, en orsing the strike was read.It was roported to-night that

strike would be brought about, he sald that the scheme proposed was for firemen and brakemen to recuse Lo work on trains with scabs, or made up by scabs.Mr.Lee to-night makes still another interesting statement.It is said that when he ordered out the Knights on the Central road, he only did so in certain cases.He claims that there are still 1) K.of L.at work on the Central.When the general call 1s issued these men will came out, thus cripplirg the road more.He refused to answer a question as to when the general call will be issued by the general executive board.The pay car at West Albany to-day paid off 1,230 mon, strikers who formerly worked in the shops.The question put was, \u2018 Here is your pay; do you want toreturn ?\u2019\u201d If no answer was given inthe affirmative the man was

Aug.26.\u2014A mysterious case of drowning came to light this morning.About one and a half miles this aide of Windsor Station, while some boys were playing they noticed the body of à well dressed man in St.Francis River.When the corpse was brought to shore it was recognized as that of a man seen in the neighborhood for several days, but not sincet he twenty-first.Coroner Woodward was summoned and beld an inquest at which an opeu verdict was returned ,as the case is shrouded in much mystery.On the sbirt was marked \u201c Moir \u201d and on aun envelope, posted in Edinburgh, 18 the following address \u201c Mr.James Moir, 54 or 56 Fort-street, Montreal.\u201d The figures are indistinct.On the little finger of the leit band was a gold ring and 11 keys were found in the pockets, basides sev eral stones, some coppers and a magaify- 1rg glaës.One of the keys was a hote key with No.4 tag attached.The clothe.of deceased were of the pest make, ani the body bears every sign of being that of a gentleman.There are so maay suspicious circumstances in connection with the case that the general opinion is that the man was murdered, but by whom is at present a mystery.Two men were.observed on the track Dear the river on Thursday last, but have not since been seen.This was the day on which the deceasad was last seen.He then was dressed complets, but when the body was found his coat and vest were missing.There is great excitement in this neighborhood and a general desire that the mattzr should be thorougbly investigated.The Mystery Explained.On the receipt of the above despatch last night, a reporter at once set off to procure, if possible, some information about the drowned man.The residence of his brother, Mr.Arch.Moir, No.88 Fort-street,was in darkness when the reporter arrived, and after some difficulty Mr.Birks, Mr.Arch Moirs son-in-law, was found at bis residence, No.23 Chomedy-street.He was astounded when informed of the occurrence, and while driving down town to telegraph to Sherbrooke gave the reporter some information about the deceased.Mr.James Moir was at one time a successful business man in Montreal ; was at one time a member of the firm of Forrester, Moir & Co., wholesale grocers, who did a large business and were in good financial circumstances.About seventeen or eighteen years ago ke lost heavily in gold mining speculations, and was compelled to retire from business.He then removed to Chicago, and was engaged in the insurance business, A year ago last June his wife died, and this, added to his other troubles, made him very despondent.He threw up hisabusiness in Chicago and came back to Montreal to reside with his brother, Mr.Arch.Moir.He was not long back before it was noticed that he was not right in his mind, but he acted very quietly when with his friends and little notice was taken of his weakness, He lived with his brother, spending his time in calling on his {riends and taking long strolls, When in company with strangers be was not so quiet, but was never known to do anything out of the way.On Tuesday, Aug.12, Mr.Arch Moir,with his family and the deceased left town for Portland Harbor, Long Island, to srand the vacation.They stoppad at the Derigo House.The family were enjoying themselves vntil Wednesday the 20 instant, when the deceased was missed.He did not turn up to dinnerthat day but 93 he was used t- taking long strolls nothing was thought of it.When night came and he did not return, Mr.Moir became uneasy and a search was atonce instituted but without results.Telegrams were aent about the country and the railway depots were placarded with descriptions of the deceased.His friends in Montreal were all informed of his disappearance but word was sent back that nothing was seen of him here.Since then there has been a constant search for him, and when his friends in the city were informed of his sad end last night, through The Herald staff, they were very much affected.Mr.Moir and his family were \u2018to have returned from Long island yesterday, but their lans were upset by the sad affair.Mr.Birks, as soon #8 he was toid about the death of Mr.Moir, telegraphed to Corc- ner Woodward at Sherbrooke te hold the body until his brother would arrive from Long Island to take it in charge.The deceased was about sixty-five years of age, and was well known to many people in the city, who will regret to learn of his sad end.As to the statements in the despatch about suspicions of foul play, Mr.Birke says there is no room for suspicion, as the deceased would not have any money and there would be no object for foul play.It is not likely that it will ever be known what was the object of deceased in going to Sherbrooke, nor whether he was accidentally drowned or took his own life in a fit of despondency.It is thought, however, that his troubles were preying on his mind, and while walking along the banks of the river, he may have jumped in to put an end to his sufferings.\u2014\u2014 Off For Europe.The Allan Line Royal Mail Steamship Polynesian, Lieut.Barrett, R.N.R., sails this morning at daybreak for Liverpool with the following saloon passengers :

proceeded to the Windsor Hotel, where His Lordship was subsequently seen by & representative of The Herald.The Earl isa stately gentleman about 38 years of age, has sharp features and wears a heavy jet black beard.He is most affable in his manners and received the scribe in a very cordial way, showing every willingness to speak on all subjects broached, In conversation he stated that he left Quebec on the afternoon train yesterday, but owing to the many delays occasioned by transferring at different junctions, the train did not arrive in Montreal until nearly 10 o'clock.At Berthier, Hon.Premier Mercier, whom the Earl considers a worthy leader of the Liberal party, boarded the train and an introduction followed.Both gentlemen indulged in à lengthy conversation until their destination was reached.1n referring to Canada Hie Lordship said his idea of the Dominion was exceedingly favorable, but he had only been here a short time and could not pretend to express an opinion, but so far, his experience bas been most plessant He was pleased particularly with the kindliness of all whom he met in Quebec.During his stay there, he was escorted around the principal places of intarest by Mr.Lemoine.Regarding the \u2018eeling exiat- ing in England towards Canada, his Lordship said that in the past ten years, there has been a remarkably striking growth in Great Britain of intelligent appreciation of the pcsition and impor- tauce of the colonles, especially of Canada.In conclusion he said that like the rest of bis political friends on the other side he entertains no doubt of the result of the next election in Great Britain and firmly believes the Libeials will come into power.His Lordship will proceed to Toronto probably on Thursday and remain there for a short time, after which he goes to Hamilton to stay a while with his children, who have preceded him on voyage to the Pacific Coest.he Earl and Lady Aberdeen are accompanied by two valet.It may be stated that he was for a time Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under Mr.Gladstone.He is a nephew of the Sir Arthur Gordon, wbo was Lieutenant- Governor of New Brunswick at the time of Confederation.pre Smoke Noisy

Academy.The audience was a highly appreciative one and the several specialties were warmly applauded.As was expected, Miss Jarbeaun\u2019s celebrated song, \u201cThat's Enough, Don\u2019t You Think,\u201d made another hit, and her references to live and local topics were greatly appreciated.\u201cStarlight\u201d will be the attraction for the remainder of the week, and should draw good honses.Tony Pastor at the Royal That the attraction at the Royal this week is bound to meet with every success is evidenced by the large audiences which pack the theatre at both performances daily, and by the enthusiastic applause bestowed upon the several artists.As usual, the inimitable \u2018Tony \u201d made a great hit, and his songs were repeatedly encored.Pawnee Bill's Show.In reeporse to an invitation extended by Mr.Acer and Pawnee Bill, a large detachment of our civic rulers visited the Montreal Driving Park yesterday aftor- noon, and were there ent.riained to lunch by the management.Among those who accepted the invitation were Acting Mayor Hurteau, Ald.V.Grenier, Cunningham, Dufresne, Stevenson, Mar- tineau, Germain, Hamelin, Tansey, Wm.Kennedy, Tansey, Jeannotte, Shorey, J.M.Dufresne, as well as Dr.Laberge, Medical Health Offiicer, and Mr.E.L.Ethier, Assistant City Attorney.After the lunch had been thoroughly discussed tbe members of the council present \u201ctook in\u201d the Wild West show and one and all were thoroughly pleased with the attraction.Ald.Stevenson, Martireau and others enjoyed the experience of having the overland coach in which they were drivirg attacked by Indiana and subsequently the chairman of the Fire Committee and two of his con- freras came very near having to \u201cbite the dust,\u201d owing to the accurate aim of one of Pawnee Bill's troupe in his attempt to lasso the trio.The audience yesterday was large and appreciative, and there geems to be no reason to doubt that during the remainder of his stay here Pawnee Bill will be greeted by enthusiastic crowds.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MOHAMMEDAN WORSHIP, The Result of an Interview Held With One of the Crew of the Steamer Celtic.To-day will be a great one for our Mohammedan population, which may be described as a floating one.They number about 46 and are the crew of the Knight Companion, Last night a reporter was introduced to the two leaders of the crew.Munglookhaw is the seranger or foreman of the firemen and Bourva is the seranger of the sailors.With the aid of Capt.Wall the following information was got about their present celebration Mohammed had a daughter whose name was Beebe Fatima and her husband's name Molaralee.They had two sons named Houssan and Hassan.These two were killed by the Jews, and Sunday was the anniversary of the death of the former by poisoning, and to-day is the anniversary of the death of the latter.The religious Mohammedans celebrate these events with great mourning, but the low castes make a great display, and observe it as a grand holiday.In India they are of the most elaborate character, but the celebration here is carried on under difficulties.For the past three nights the crew have been carrying on the celebration by the ship's side, and to-day will conclude by what the English call the feast of Hopson Jopson.It is the great festival of Morum and is the most important of the year, being equivalent to ovr Christmas and New Year.Munglookhan hag been to Mecca twice and, as is the custom, has his hair dyed red.Large crowds gather every night to see the fun.Instead of tom toms,they use boxes and tin pans, and dance around a fantastically dressed pole.At six o'clock they stop and then commence to mourn, which brings the affair to an end.the journey.He then continues his |

having previously been sworn in by Mr, Licotte, clerk of the Crown, Hon.Premier Mercier is expected to arrive in town this morning, and a meeting of the Cabinet will be held shortly after.Several appointments are likely to be made.A demand of assignment has been served upon Joseph Gravelle, trader, of St.Cunegonde, by P.A.Daunais, merchant tailor of the same place.The lia~ bilities amount to about $5000.The question of giving a fitting reception to Prince George of Wales will likely be brought up at the next meeting of the City Council, with a view to the appointment of a special committee, It is understood that the census figures will be ready to be landed to Acting Mayor Harteau to day.It is likely that the report of the assessors will show the population of Montreal to be

with ber two daughters, Aline and Berthe, until such time as the two latter may marry.In their turn the two daughters get the usufruct after their mother\u2019s death until their marriage.After the demise or marriages of the two daughters the estate is to be divided in eq.:al shares among the six children, Aline, Berthe, Rodoiphe, Willie, Antoine and Henry.Mr.Muir, of the Board of Assessors, bas written to Ald.Clendinneng making the following propositions regarding the water tax difficulty : To charge one- tenth ofone per cent.on real property to cover the cost of fire protection and watering streets, which would realize about $100,000.Then with regard to the scale on houses this would enable them to reduce the rate as follows : To p3rsons paying $30 rent, instead of paying $5 water tax to pay $3, and instead of adding seventy-five cents for every $10 additional rent, to add fifty-five cents, and to strike off all charges for closets, but to leave the special rates as they are now.This would take off about $170,- 000, leaving a decrease of revenue to the city of, say $70,000, which would, however, be made up next year by increased fasgessments.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PERSONAL

company with his talented wife, Madame Asber Lucas, he has been spending bis vacation.He was only able to remain one day in the city, as he was call-d to Toronto unexpectedly in connection with the

of Professor of Harmony at the Utica Conservatory of Music and Languages.Mr.Lucas\u2019 talent has already won him distinction wherever he has been engaged, and he has apparently a brilliant future

HERCULES RAISES 3,963 LBS.IN PARIS.A Successful Trip Through Europe\u2014 He Breaks His Record by Nearly 700 pounds \u2014~\u2014Mountreal; Bicycle Club Races-Dennis Donoghue Explains How He Was Dis- qualified\u2014Racing at Longueuil To-day\u2014 Saturday\u2019s Lacrosse Match\u2014Lawn Tennis ~General Sporting Gossip.Louis Cyr, of St.Bruno, Que., the Canadian Hercules, has recently returned to Canada after a very successful tour through Earope, where he exhibited in the principal cities.Cyr, who holds the world\u2019s record, was in the city yesterday and left last night for the Eastern Townships, where he is billed to show dnring the remainder of the week.About four years ago, it will be remembered, he came to Montreal from St.Brano,and joined the Ste Cunegonde police force.In putting the shot and throwing the 56 1b., he bested the cracks and then, be- heving there was more money in performing feats of physical skill he started on a tour through the States and Canada.He was subsequently induced to go to Europe, where he surprised the inhabitants with his great strength.Cyrs record was 3,200 and some odd pounds for lifting with his back, but while in Paris, according to his own re port and papers authenticaling the game, it is shown that he surpassed his previous feat by raising 3,963 pounds, or nearly 700 pounds better than done by him in this country.It was an easy matter for the Hercules, who weighs nearly 300 pounds, to raise a 250 pound dumb bell with one hand and put it above his head, but while on the other side he usually performed with a 290 pound bell.Cyr has never had his strength tested to its full extent, and he may yet make some more astonishing feat.He has an open challenge to the world for the past three years, but nobody seems inclined to accept it.He will retarn to Montreal from the Eastern Townships in a few weeks.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 LACROSSE.The Shamrock-Cornwall Match of Saturday Next.The Cornwalls come to Montreal for tbe last time this season on Saturday next, on which occasion they will face the Shamrocks.The latter, notwithstanding their defeat of Saturday last, are putting in hard practice for the Factory Town club and intend making a bold fight for victory.Supporters of the Shamrocks believe firmly that their team can defeat any of the clubs on a dry field and should the weather prove favorable on Saturday a good game may be expected.Montreal Juniors vs.St.Gabriels.Another match in the Junior series will be played on Saturday afternoon ou the Driving Park, Point St.Charles, the contesting clubs on this occasion being the Montreal Juniors and St.Gabriel clubs.Both teama are putting in hard work, and a hard tussle for supremacy may be looked for.Junior League Matches, The Athletics and Orients second twelve play on the Athletic grounds on Saturday afternoon, and the Maples and Orients third twelve play on the Maple grounds.Not so Large as Claimed, The Empire of

who complained that they couldn't sae aod le:t the grounds.Upwards of 1,020 Faople were refused admission at all.\u201d We differ with The Empire regarding the gate; there have been two matches in Montreal, namely : Ottawa and Montreal, lest year, and Toronto-Shamrock 1888, with much larger gates.THE TURF, Longueuil Trotting Association Races.The opening of the Longueuil Trotting Association

Park of 7 ft.1 in.put all former jumrs in the shade.The trials were made between Rosebery and Maud of Moorhouse and Pepper's famous stable.At 4 ft.8 in., at 5 ft.2 in.and at 5 ft.8 in.both horses jumped together.At 5 fi.8 in.Roseberry cleared on his first trial.At 5 ft, 10 in.Rosebery cleared it on his second attempt, Maud cleared it on it first trial, At 6 ft.Rosebery cleared it on his first attempt.Maud jumped away over it on ber second trial, after refusing it once.Here Maud stopped, and Rosebery was ridden at 6 ft.8 in., which be cleared on bis third trial.He then settled down to work and at6 ft.6 in.he jumped away over it.At 6 ft.8 in.he missed his footing and lit on the jump.This was bis last mistake.At 6 ft.10 in.he cleared it easily.At 7 ft.1 in.he faced the jump twice and refused to raise, being off his stride.On his third attempt he cleared it with inches to spare.Previous to this jump, which Pitcher\u2019s Castoria Children Cry for Pitcher\u2019s Castoria Children Cry for was made in the presence of 100 spec tators, the turf record was 6 ft.6 in.made at Buffalo by Rosebery.In Chicago he :umped from a floor covered with tan bark, 6 ft.11} in.The owner of the horse Ontario claims his horse jum 7 ft, in Wasbington at a pr PP | a8 neither Ontarlo\u2019s Washington jump nor Rosebery\u2019s Saturday jump was made for public money, or before judges properly appointed, they cannot tbe considered as a record, and, therefore, Rosebery\u2019s Chicago jump of 6 ft.11% instill stands as the highest record.0 CRICKET, Matches to be Played on Saturday

afternoon} when quite a number of spectators were pracent.The play on an average was much better than has previously been seen on the McGill grounds.The best games of the day were those between Mr.J.S.Campbell and T.R.Davies and H.Abbott and A.W.Martin.In the former set Davies proved an easy winner, as Campbell seerned out of practice and by no means played up to his usual form.The majority of those present believed that Abbott would have an easy victory over Mr.Martin, but in this they were mistaken, as the latter won in two straight sets.The other games were well contested, and on the whole the day\u2019s play was mest successful.Following is 8 summary : Preliminaries\u2014 Rev.A.W.Martin Crescent L T Club, Chelsea) beat H.E.Suckling {Cote St Antoine L T Club).6-4, H, Abbott
