Parliament.Special to THE HERALD.Quesec, May 2.LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.The Speaker took the chair at 3.15 pm.The report of the library committee was received aud read.After reports from other committees, Mr.BLANOHET introduced a bill concerning the Bar of Quebec.THE BUDGET.\u2019 The TREASTRER presented a message from the Lieut.-Governor authorizing the submission of the estimates for the nex fiscal year.Amid the rattling of heavy rain and claps of thunder, Mr.RoBERTSON then rose to move the House into committee of supply, making the usual preface as the ground over which he intended to travel.He would deal with the matter without any spirit of fault finding or commenting upon the previous Administration, but would merely speak of things as he found them.The chief ques tion was not iow we got into financial difficulties but how to get out of them.There had been for years past AN ANNUAL DEFICIT of $300,000 to $500,000, and this could not be allowed to continue, unless we wished to bring discredit, ruin and dishonor upon our Province.There had been large expenditure on railway construction from which the Province had largely benefitted, but we had been extravagant in other branches of the public service in which it was now our duty to ascertain our real position and economize in the future.He spoke of the necessity of either increasing the revenue or decreasing the expenditure, The former would be difficult, and he went into details of the revenue from Crown Lands aud other sources in support of that pretension, The only item in which an increase could be looked for was that of the Dominion subsidy.The most equitable manner of makiug the income meet expenditure was to decrease the latter.He then went into the details of the RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURE of the Province for the year ending June last, as contained in the Public Accounts already brought down and published some weeks ago.He also mentioned that on the lst January last the Provincial funded debt was $18,307,837, which, with other expenditures incurred and te be incurred with the floating debt, made up $22,682, 384.On the other side he placed the amount already paid by the Province on the railway at $600,000,and that not paid of $7,600,000, which, with other items, made up an amouat of $11,453,182, leaving a balance of $11,229,202.He referred to the pretension that the Province of Ontario managed ber finances better than Quebec, and thus always had a surplus.He showed by quoting the increase in expenditure in recent years of the Province of Ontario that she would soon cease to have a surplus.Coming to THE PROBABLE RECEIPTS for the next year, he anticipated a smaller amount from Crown lands.He did not anticipate much change in the other sources of revenue.He then passed to the supplementary estimates, which lie reminded the House were rendered necessary by the expenditure of former Governments, and by the amount of which the outlay had exceeded the amount originally voted.The estimates were as follows: \u2014 Legiclation\u2014 Legislative Council, salaries and contingent expenses and expenditure in consequence of fire, $10,000; Legislative Assembly, salaries and contingent expenses, including the salaries of extra clerks, messengers and pages, stationary, pribting, binding, etc, 819,030 ; library of the egislature, $15,000; expenses of elections, $5,000 ; printing, binding and distributing the laws, $1,231.29 ; Bourinot\u2019s Parliamentary procedure, $750; civil government, contingencies of public departments, $1, 385; administration of justice, &c., reformatories at Montreal, Sherbrooke, and Levis, $6,300 ; agriculture, immigration, and repatriation and colonization, Journal of Agriculture, $1,500; immigration and repatriation, $5,000 ; bridge overRiver Ste.Anne Bacons, for complete reconstruction of superstructure,$5,500; public works and buildings including $28,032 for fitting temporary accommodation for the Legis lature, $42,282; charities, industrial schools, 81,500; miscellaneous generally, $6,000; engineers for mining purposes, charges $146.20; ë on revenue, general expenditure.Crown Lands to cover amount overdrawn for the year ended 30th June, 1883, $15,459.49 ; Railways, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway construction, balance due on properties and lands expropriated, right of ways, &e.,.and §100,- 000, on Hon.Thomas McGreevy\u2019s award, $176.879.51; Quebec, Montreal, Otraira and Occidental Railway traffic expenses, &e., £6,700, total, $317,719.49.In ESTIMATING THE RECEIPTS for the coming fiscal year he set down Dominion subsidy, on the strength of a telegram from Ottawa, at $1,261,872,80 ; cuminon school fund of Ontario, $30,000; licenses, $225,000, being a reduction of $25,000 in consequence of the present conflict on the license question; Crown Lands Department, $600,000, being a large reduction in consequence of the stagnation in trade; revenue from the administration of Justice, $227,900; legislation, $5,000; Official Gazette, $17,750; lunatic asylume, 814,- 000; interest on deposits, $75,000, the size of this item being due to the amount of the loan now deposited in Montreal at 5 per cent.These, with other items, made the total e:timated revenue, $3,1u2,022.He referred to the fact that the Prbvince depended upon the decision of Phe Privy Council ou the validity of the ack impositg direct taxes upon commercial corporations, to know whether it had to receive some $2,000,000, or to reimburse that already paid, in addition to a large amount for costs, He then passed to THE ESTIMATED EXPENDITURE for the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1883, as follows :\u2014Public debt, $991,787.43; legislation, $145,482.50 ; civil government, $185,750; administration of justice, $413,167\u2014on the question of crim- mal justice, Mr.ROBERTSON contended that as it was for the enforcement of Dominion laws, the Federal authorities should pay a good proportion of the cost of its administration.He had some hopes that they would consent to do so, but if they did not then a larger share of the burden must be imposed on the municipal- ties as in the sister Provinces.Police reformatories and inspectors of public offices cost the Province in 1882-83 the sum of $73,589.07; the appropriation for the current year was $81,000 and the estimate asked for next year is $65,000.For public instruction the amount spent in 1882-83 was $379,417 and voted for the current year $376,980 ; the amount proposed to be voted for the coming fiscal year was $358,985.The reduction does\u2019 not apply at'all to the common schools which were of too important a nature to be curtailed, but in view of the continuation of the financial difficalty he had deemed it his duty to cut off the grants to the literary and scientific institutions.For agriculture, immigration, repatriation and colonization the same amount is placed in the estimates as last year, $163,100.He would have been glad to increase the item for colonization.He believed the amounts voted for agricultural societies did not produce the results expected, and were it not too late in the year the amount would have been reduced.The item for public works and buildings is $251,651, including the construction of the new Parliament House $110,000, and the Quebee Court House $80,000.Under charities, $227,150 is asked for lunatic asylums.Other miscellaneous charities brought the emount to $286,464, or $14,000 less than the amount voted last year.Miscellaneous generally, $43,750 or $15,000 less than last year; municipalities fund, $3,000; registration service through the Crown Lands Department, $15,000; surveys, $30,000; general expenditure, charges of revenue, $66,808 ; Crown lands suspense account, $15,000; Quebec Official Gazelte, $12,500; stamps and licenses, $15,000; railwavs $394,475, or a reduction of about $340,000, making the total estimated expenditure, $3,515,021.Of this, however, $394,475 was for railways and $110,000 for the new Parliament house, to be taken from loan and not charged against revenue.The estimated excess of ordinary revenue over ordinary expenditure he estimated at $101 ,- 460.The Treasurer proceeded to show the difficulty of estimating rightly either the recelps or the expenditure of the Province.He hoped the receipts might be larger than he had anticipated.It was not unlikely that the expenditure would exceed his estimate in some respects.The Treasurer epoke at considerable length on the difficulty of adopting such economy as would please all hon.members, each of whom had some pet scheme which he objected to see deprived of its support.The remainder of is speech was principally a report of the negotiations had with the Dominion Government on the SUBJECT OF INCREASED SUBSIDY, which was dealt with ut great length, He also insisted on the fact that the necessity for retrenchment and economy had not been removed, since the increased subsidy from Ottawa did not amount to more than about one half of our anuonal deficit.He furnished a short summary of the financial condition of the Province, showing the great necessity which existed for economy in all departments of the public service and making a patriotic appeal to the House to assist him in bringing back the Province to a condition of financial prosperity.He concluded with an eloquent peroration and was loudly applauded by the Government side of the Hquse on taking his seat.Mr.JuLy congratulated the Treasrer on the clearness of his speech, which, however, was not sufficiently clear to convince him that matters were as rosy as he sought to make it appear.He thought the Treasurer might have given the House more information as to the sinking fund.Mr.RoperTsoN explained that that fand had not been kept up as closely as it ought to have been.He was not satisfied as to the manner in which the Dominion sought to make the Province its debtor, when the Dominion acknowledged in 1873 to owe the Province about $1,350,000, and had only paid it $625,000 on account of that debt since.The House went into committee and adopted the first item, when it rose and reported progress, and it being six o\u2019clock the Speaker left the chair.AFTER RECESS.The following private bills were passed through committee, read a third time and passed :\u2014 To amend the act 38 Vic, chap.11, entitied an act to amend the act 27 Vic., chap.24, entitled an act to erect the village of Beauharnois as a town.\u2014Mr.Ber- gevin.To authorize the bar of the Province

in Brooklyn were some Spiritualistic speakers who are announced to reply to Mr.Talmage\u2019s onslaught on their belief.The following are extracts from the sermon :\u2014 \u201cWe are surrounded by mystery.There is a vast realm unexplored, which science will yet map out.The wall between the spiritual and the material world is very thin.That there are communications from one to the other there can be no doubt.I donot know but that there may be a complete, regular and constant communication open between this world and the spiritual.Modern Spiritualism, which proposes to unlock the doer, has not given one reasonable credential of character.All the wonderful things which it has done have been performed by sleight of hand or rank imposture, The post office which it has established between this world and the next is another star route, kept up at great expense, and which has not yet delivered one letter.(Laughter.) \u201cI have seen scors of letters purporting to have come a FROM THE SPIRIT LAND, They were marvels of condensation, for I have never seen compressed in so small a compass so much bad orthography, bad grammar and bad morals.(Laughter.) Do you want to know what God thinks of Spiritualism?*There shall not be found among you any consulter of familiar spirits, or wizard, or necromancer, for they who do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.\u201d God never speaks of these except with lips of indignation.Be a Spiritualist then if vou dare ! \u201cJust think of invoking a spirit to get under a table, break crockery and to ring the bell before dinner is ready.(Laughter.) Some ofthe things done by Spiritualism may be due to occult natural laws yet to be explained, but nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand of their feats are arrant and unmitigated frauds.Spiritualism destroys the health of its followers.Attend their meetings and you will see there men with weak nerves and clammy hands.Nothing seems to prosper with them but long hair, which like rank grass grows in soft marshes.(Laughter) I never knew a Spiritualist to have a strong nervous system.They are in the first stages of epilepsy.\u201c Spiritualism is A MARITAL AND SOCIAL CURSE, I will not pollute your ears with a recital of the orgies of obscenity and immorality under its wings.Hundreds of women have been pushed over the brink of immorality.Spiritualism employs all language of free love.If Spiritualism had full swing it would turn this world into a pandemonium of carnality.In the sacred name of the honor of men and women I cry, \u2018 Let it perish!\u2019.Spiritualism produces insanity.When the steamer Atlantic was delayed at sea many friends of the passengers consulted mediums.The were told that it had gone down with a on board.That sent more than one wife and mother into an insane asylum.One day a gun was fired at Quarantine.Soon the newsboys filled the streets.\u2018 Extra ! the Atlantic saved.\u201d The vessel arrived at the dock, and the passengers embraced their friends, but some men had to seek their wives at the asylum, where they pere incarcerated by this fiend cheat of ell! : \u201cSpiritualism is bad for the mediums.No sooner had the swine on the banks of the Galilee became spiritual mediums than they went down into the sea an avalanche of pork.(Prolonged laughter.) It is bad for man ; bad for beast.\u201d ne.\u2014\u201c La Societe de Berlin?was lately the subject of a strictly secret session of the Third Section of the Berlia District Court I.After the reading of several chapters, the Court, in view of the numerous offences against the members of the royal family contained in the book, decided in favor of the destruction of both the origi- val edition and

House.To the Editor of THE HERALD Can à Sir,\u2014Your correspondent \u201cA\u201d is driving at a side issue in reference to the wooden stricture forming the corner of Dorchester and Metcalf streets now being recorstrueted for what is termed an opera bouse.He says: \u201cThe building in question had evidently been erected by a ermit or it never would have been Pile.\u201d I deny this most emphatically.The person who could have given such is now dead, and it is not manly to insinuate that he gave anysuch permit, but whether he did or not, it is there contrary to one of the city ordinances, and to reconstruct it to be used as now intended is the question at issue.It matters not.how many places of exit are available.The owner of the lot in question should not be permitted to have it there if there is any law to have it removed.Pro Boxo PuruIco._\u2014\u2014 A SMALL CYCLONE.A Windy Day and its Discomforts\u2014The Troubles of Pedestrians\u2014Ludricrous Mishaps\u2014Incidents and Accidents.The wind was out for a frolic yesterday afternoon and in its mad humor caused infinite discomfort to many, and some serious damage 10.property as well.Only one casualty has been reported so far, but the petty annoyances inflicted upon pedestrians were numnberless.Tothe calm and - dispassionate looker-on, safe in the shelter of some building, the effects of the windstorm seemed more ludricrous than serious.This view of the case, in particular, impressed itself upon the mind of a HERALD reporter as he watched from the editorial rooms the mad zephyrsin their attempt to turn everything topsy-turvy.The wind blew in gusts across Victoria Square and down McGill street, and it was amusing to watch the people as they emerged from the com\u201d parative calm of St.James street into the eddy and whirlwind of the elements that raged in the Square.Clouds of dust blowing in every direction added to the general discomfort and huge scraps of paper were whirled hither and thither in the air, like some new and strange especies of birds.The first thing the foot passengers did on feeling the fury of the wind was to clap their hands to their hats to prevent their taking an unexpected rial flight.Motion number two was generally to remove one hand for the purpose of digging the dust out of their organs of vision.In the case of ladies encumbered with a parasol and several parcels the case was much worse, they being for the moment completely bewildered aud often narrowly escaped being run over by passing vehicles.At times, the air was darkened with flying hats, the owners gazing helplessly after their vanishing property with their hands firmly clasped over their heads as if they were apprehensive that their hair would follow suit.A peculiar circumstance was that these hats always brought up in a puddle, and were restored to their owners garnished with unsightly splashes of mud.These latter grinned horribly a ghastly smile as they clapped their damaged tiles on their heads and walked off.The reporter, from his coign of vantage, saw one hat\u2014of the cartwheel pattern\u2014running on its edge down McGill street at the rate of about a inile of minute, easily distancing several fleet runners who strove to overtake it.A large van filled with paper boxes drove into the Square and pulled up before à store, and in an instant some ten or a dozen large Loxes were whipped out by thé wind and scattered in every direction.One of the two portable ige cream saloons that usually stand on the Square succumbed to a small cyclone about 5 p.m., and, tilting over, strewed the ground with all the paraphrenalia of the establishment.Shortly aflerwards anewsboy with an armful of evening papers was relieved of his burden bya furious gust, and in less than half a minute the whole square was white with the printed sheets.Never before had news been disseminated so rapidly.About half an hour latter, the wind snatched about fifty papers out of the grasp of another boy standing at the corner, and they disappeared up St.James street like a flock of white swans.A young lady with her \u2018arms full of parcels had one of them wrenched from her grasp by the wiad, the paper torn off, and the con- tents\u2014a roll of ribbon\u2014unwound and deposited in the mud in front of the Co- Operative Supply building.A man, burdened with a large engraving of the Prodigal Son under one arm and an oil painting under the other, had a most perilous passage across the square.At first it looked as if his frail bark would founder on the spot, but after laying-too before the wind for a while, he by means of a series of masterly tacks managed to make the opposite side in safety.: INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.A gentleman passing down Bleury street was struck on the head by a double window that was blown from the Burland Lithographic Company\u2019s building and severely wounded.He was}picked up insensible and carried into Mr.Burland\u2019s office, where he shortly after recoved suffi- cently to be sent home.The water in the harbor was lashed into foam by the violence of the gale, but as there was no shipping to speak of at the wharves, no damage was done.The Harbor Commissioners\u2019 dredges had to stop work, and the steamboats were obliged to run out an extra hawser fore and aft.The telegraph and telephone wires were badly mixed up and broken in many quarters.Mr.Murphy, the dry goods merchant on Notre Dame street, had one of his signs blown across the street, where after graz- .ing a mau°s head, it fell on the sidewalk and was broken in two pieces.The iron top of Mr.Meunier\u2019s chimney, on Notre Dame street, was carried off by the wind and the chimuey itself left in such a shaky condition that part of it had to be pulled down later on.Another chimney top was blown off from a building on St.James street and nearly struck a man, ere it was dashed to fragments on the pavement.On St.Lambert\u2019s hill part of the fence belonging to Henderson & Lovelace\u2019s coal yard was blown over, knocking down a woman, but fortunately without inflicting any serious injuries.; About forty feet of Mr.W.O\u2019Brien\u2019s fence on St.Antoine street was blown down, also a large piece of fence at the corner of Richmond square.A large piece of the zinc covering on the steeple of the Unitarian Church on Beaver Hall Hill was wafted away by the wind to parts unknown.A tree on DBerthelet street was blown over on top of a street lamp, smashing the glass and allowing the gas to escape.Chief-detective Cullen, who was passing by, plugged the pipe up with paper.The platform in front of the Central Police Station was torn up by the force of the wind.: As usual one of the trees on the Champ de Mars came to grief.Part of the fence in front of the Bon Pasteur Convent on Sherbrooke street wus upset.A number of panes of glass were broken in all parts of the city.Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019s Vegetab Coumpound was first prepared in liquid form only ; but now it can be sent in dry torme by mail to points where no druggist can readily he reached, and to-day the Compound in lozenges and pills finds its way even to the foreign climes of Europe and Asia.MARRIAGES.Levr-Ds Rosay\u2014At St.Peter\u2019s Chnrch, Cambridge, near Boston, on the 30th of Aprii, 1884, Joseph Levy, of Montreal, Notary, to Mavancer, youngest daughter

Mr.Keene was the son of English parents, but is a Virginian by birth.He was born at Lynchburg nearly fifty years ago.He got his education in the South, and was originally trained for the bar.After his removal to San Francisco, While still a young man, he was engaged as counsel in some mining suits, and from his investigation of them he gained a familiarity with mining operations that prompted him to speculate in mining stocks, He gradually a bandoned law to take up the stock brokerage business.He was a curb-stone broker for some years.He finally pinned his faith to the great bonanza stocks, bought them largely, and shared the marvellous prosperity that the great mining boom showered upon Flood, O'Brien, -and Ralston of the Bank of California.Heheld on to HIS BONANZA STOCKS till the fall of 1874, when he sold out during October and November at an enormous profit.Later on he invested largely, though less heavily than in his bonanza speculations, in Yellow Jacket aud made much money in that stock.When Ralston committed suicide and things were going to smash generally, Keene, with $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 in his pockets, came to the metropolis, with the prestige of his dazzling Californa success undimmed.He formed the acquaintance of Jay Gould, and engaged with that operator in fighting Western Union with Atlantic and Pacific stock.\u201cHe bagged big profits as a result of his flank movement on Mr.Gould\u2019s now favorite stock.It is said that Keene got his eyes opened just previous to this lugky hit by his unexpectedly disastrous attempt to beara certain stock which he fancied was a good deal higher than it ought to be.In order to proveit, ke ordered 10,000 shares to besold.Instead of driving down its value the stock fell half a point, and then rallied and left Mr, Keene to blow on his burnt fingers and resolve that it would be well to find out the difference between San Francisco and Wall street before he started out again.After this he seems to have made money with the same facility and success that had marked his California operations, until after he broke with Jay Gould in 1877.Gould is reported to have said as an excuse for the dissolution of their friendship that Keene had played him a shabby trick, rnd he was done with him, Keene, on his side, asserted, according to friends, that Gould bad gone back on his friends and sold them out.AS ONE OF THE RESULTS of this little misunderstanding Major} Selover, who had been Keene\u2019c broker and admirer, picked Mr.Gould up from \u201cthe street\u201d Ly the collar one afternoon in August, 1877, and deposited him with great energy into an Exchange place area, greatly to the personal surprise of a good- natured barber who was shaving a customer.Keene said he was rejoiced that retribution had overtaken Mr.Gould, on the ground that Mr.Gould was the wickedest man in the world.The two men never spoke after that, but Mr.jKeene,as a result of his conflicts with Mr.Gould as a rival, dropped a pile that wasreported to contain; $6,000,- 000.Helost it in trying to get up a corner in wheat and to fool with Jersey Central stocks.He held on to Jersey Central grimly until it ran down forty points in a single week at a breakneck ace.Ww ust before this little experience he was known to be worth $9,000,000 in cash, and Isidor Wormser, his broker, said that one day he saw in Mr.Keene\u2019s office as much as $2,400,000 in cold cash.He got all he had lost back again, and more too, with a rush of his old luck, and in 1880, during the big boom in stocks, he was reputed to be the possessor of $20,000,000.It wasat this period, the acme of his success and fame, that THE WHITE RIBBON with the blue spot floating above American horseflesh brought the name of Keene into the mouth of everybody who was a lover of the turf.The millionaire was kept busy spending some of his ducats for.champagne to celebrate the victory of his stable abroad and at home.In 1881 Foxhall amazed the world by carrying the white with the blue spot to the front in the race for the Grand Prix, and Keene was king of the turf as well as a king of the street, and a fusilade of champagne corks testified to his popularity.The see-saw of the street brought him down again, and when Guiteau\u2019s shot paralyzed the country he was reputed to be pretty nearly gone up financially Again he rallied, however, -and went on see-sawing till he got overwhelmingly swamped by the great Northern Pacific and O.T.downfall.Bad luck followed him until it ended yesterday with his announcement of \u201c Suspension of payments.\u201d \u201c He lies flat on his back,\u201d said an old broker, © a victim to the folly of trying tobe a bull on a falling market.He probably hasn\u2019t $5,000 left.His fall won\u2019t affect the market in the slightest.It was known for months that it was coming.\u201d \u201cA PECULIARITY OF MR.KEENE,\u201d said a prominent broker, \u201cis his indifference t, his credit.Whenever it has been reported that he has failed he has said, when spoken to about the alleged catastrophe, that he didn\u2019t care what wassa.d about him; that they could \u2018break\u2019 him as many times as they wanted to.I even think that at times he has been willing to have it believed that he was broken, and certainly he has conducted his basiness at times in a manner to convey thatim- pression.There are some people who will tell you that they believe that that is the case now, but T myself don\u2019t think so.I think it\u2019s serious and bona fide this time, and I am afraid his name is going to be added to those of Daniel Drew, A, B.Stockwell, John Tobin, and others who have made and then lost colossal fortunes on the street.It is possible that the variety of schemes in which Mr.Keene has been interested may have had something to do with his present financial condition.Besides his large operations in Wall street in grain, cotton, oil, and, in fact, nearly every commodity that could be gambled in, he had, until the mining business played out, several mining companies on hand, principally the Silver Cliff, the stockholders of which are now trying to find out how to redeem their property, He able Gas Company, and was at one time largely interested in the Tide Water Pipe Line.The rumors that his financial strength was failing, which have been current for a year or so, have received color from the mortgaging of his Newport property after the cottage was burned, and the sale of many of his horses and of his pictures.Of the latter a study of sheep by Rosa Bonheur was purchased last spring by Mr.Jay Gould for $16,000.The sale was negotiated by the Hon.John Pondir, and Mr.Keene said he cleared $5,000 by the transaction.\u2014One of the best stories told of the late Duke of Buccleuch was his rebuke to the Bervant of à gentleman who was staying at Dalkeith on a visit.The proud stomach of the gentleman\u2019s gentleman would not sit at table with the lower servants.Ee complained to the Duke that he was accustomed only to mix with the upper servants.¢ Very well,\u201d said the Duke, «ask your master to let you dine with him and me.Yqu way, for all I care.\u201d The gentleman\u2019s gentleman ceased to grumble at having to dine in common with the lesser domestics after that.HorLowav\u2019s Prurs.\u2014Liver Complaints and Disorders of the Bowels.\u2014It is impossible to exaggerate the extraordinary virtue of this medicine in the treatment of all affections of the liver or irregularities of the bowels.In cases of depraved or superabundant bile these Pills taken freely, have never been known to fail.In bowel complaints they are equally eflicacious, though they should then be taken rather sparingly, for every medicine in the form of an aperient requires caution when the bowels are disordered, although at the same time a gentler or more genial aperient than these Pills in moderate doses has never yet been discovered.If taken according to the printed instructions, they not only cure the complaint, but improve the whole system.BUTCHERS\u2019 SCALES!

Avail Himself of Such Minority When Sued.o Privileged Communications Respecting a Servant Must Not be Unjust.Large Number of Uncontested Cases for Judgment.THURSDAY, 1st May.Lecinire et al.vs.Gauvreau.This is an action for the recovery of the amount of four several promissory notes, made by the defendant, and payabie to the order of the plaintiffs.The defendant pleads minority at the time he made the notes referred to, and also that he had made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors.As to the question of minority, be cannot set it up, inasmuch as he was a trader carrying on business wien he signed the notes referred to, and these notes were given in payment for goods purchased by him from the plaintiffs, for the purposes of his business.See articles 323 and 1005 of the Civil Code.A minor who becomes a trader does not require any authorization, and the simple fact of his carrying on business makes him of age for all its purposes.As to the argument set up it had not the effect of liberating the debtor from his debt to the plaintitts, but only made the assignee his agent, and the plaintiffs in consenting to the assignment did not in any way discharge the defendant from bis debt or renounce to their recourse against him.Although the defendant is not now a trader, he is nevertheless still regarded as of age as far as concerns those who are the creditors of his business transactions.Under these circumstances the pleas of the defendant are set aside and judgment will go for the balance due $706.14, with interest and costs.Messrs.Mignault & Co.for plaintiffs.Messrs.Trudel & Co.for defendant, Ross vs.Trudeau, This is an action of damages bya servant against his master for wrongful dismissal and defamatory language.The defendant was justified in;dismissing the plaintiff, and the conversation referred to, which took place between the former and a neighbor and friend, must be looked upon as privileged to a certain extent, but at the same time it appears that the conduct of the plaintiff did not deserve as strong and expressive lauguage as that made use of, and it is evident that the defendant was animated by a degree of malice which must be restrained.The court, in the absence of any proof of specific damages, condemns the defendant to pay $30 damages and $20 costs.Messrs.Prefontaine & Major for plaintiff.Messrs.Lacoste & Co.for

to the fire the large waggon of the Salvage Corps came to grief by the breaking of the the front axle, and the light waggon of the corps which was away being repaired, had to be brought into requisition.\u2014At Il 0clock; the-$men of No.2 station were informed by a still alarm that the flames had again broken out in the establishment of McArthur, Corneille & Co., the scene of the late St.Paul street fire, and they soon had one stream at work and quickly extinguished the blaze.\u2014At 3.50 p.m.another alarm was sounded from box 132, Custom House, for a burning chimney at the house No.219 Commissioners street.It was put out with a buciet of water.No damage.Twenty minutes later still another alarm was sounded from Box 26 for a burning chimney at 327 St.Catherine street.This blaze

death at Denver, Col., yesterday morning, of Mr.George Frederick Corcoran, son of Mr.Hugh Corcoran, of this city- Mr.Corcoran, who was in his tmenty.ninth year, went west two years ago by the advice of his physicians, but he was doomed and only left home to die among strangers.The intelligence will be received with extreme regret by a large body of his friends in Montreal, ne having been eu- deared to all who knew him.Like a typical young Montrealer, as he was, the deceased was a epirited athlete and enthusiastic snowshoer, wearing theBold \u2018\u2018 Tuque Bleue\u201d for which Le has won muca renown by carrying off numerous races.He was also an experierced lacrosse player, having served for several years on the first twelve of the Montreal Lacrosse Club.The members of the Victoria Ritles will also miss & confrere in Mr.Corcoran, he having been an efficient member of Captain Henshaw\u2019s (No.3) company.The body will be brought to Montreal for interment, reaching this city probably on Thursday next.It is likely that his numerous friends will turn out en masse for the funeral.Our sympathies are tendered to his bereaved parents and relatives\u2014in which all young Montreal will join.\u2018 AMUSEMENTS.\u2014 am Royal Theatre Museum.The little people at the above place of amusement have attracted large audiences during the week.This afternoon and evening will be

afternoon, there being present Aldermen Stevenson, Dubuc, Roy, Beausoleil and J.C.Wilson.Aldermen Grenier, Genereux, Holland and Laurent were also present.A deputation from the Butchers\u2019 Association, consisting of Messrs.Contant, president, Bayard, secretary, Daoust, Gallbert, Bourassa, Granger, Libercent and Lamb, came before the committee.The secretary read a communication from the association, which Mr.Contant supported in a few remarks.They calied upon the city to build a serviceable abattoir at a central pont and place the cattle markets adjoining, failing this that the Corporation purchase the two old abattoirs and place the cattle markets there.They asked also that in the meantime the by-law concerning slaughtering be not enforced till the main question be definitely settled.; The general opinion of the committee was that the butchers\u2019 propositions as above offered no basis for agreement or for action.Alderman Rainville suggested that the butchers make some serious offer, accompanied with guarantees, so that the committee might have something to act upon, whether looking to the purchase of the abattoirs and seliing them to the butchers or leasing them.Alderman Grenier said that the only practical solution of the question was for the city to buy the abattuirs, the owners of which were ready to take civic bonds at four per cent.in payment.The butchers would have to pay one-quarter of the purchase price, besides one per cent.sinking fund and four per cent.interest.After some discussion, the butchers produced a second paper with proposals, the first having beeu apparently ouly a feeler.The BUTCHERS\u2019 PROPOSALS were as follows :\u2014 1st.That the members of the Butchers\u2019 Association were prepared to form a joint stock company with a capital of $50,000.20d.That the members of the association be admitted as subscribers to the capital fund of the company.3rd.That the object of the company be to secure an abattoir in a central locality to be built by the city of Montreal, or the purchase of the East and West Abattoirs.4th.That if the city purchase the two abattoirs, the company will furnish the necessary guarantees for the payment of interest on the purchase money.5th.That the cattle markets be removed to the grounds of the two abattoirs.6th.That the said company expects the following privileges in §renting the abattoirs with right of purchase.(a) Exemption from taxes.(b) Free water supply.(c) an annual subsidy for the necessary alterations in the abattoirs.Alderman J.C.Wilson moved that these propositions be printed in both languages for the use of the members.\u2014Carried.On motion of Alderman Beausoleil the committee adjourned till Monday afternoon, when the abattoir people\u201d will lay their case before the committee.THE LAKE CHAMPLAIN.Her.Arrival First From Sea Two Consecutive Years.-À Creditable Showing for the Beaver Line.The Peruvian in Port: General News About the Wharves, Although there have been numerous arrivals in the harbor during the past week of vessels of various kinds, mostly those engaged in the river and Gulf trade, and although business about the docks has assumed a somewhat lively air, there has been lacking an element very necessarv to allow it to be truly said that the season of navigation of 1884 is really with us.This vacuum, however, has been filled, and the presence in port of the first vessel from deep water brings with it in a demonstrative way the conviction that spring has indeed come, and that the St.Lawrence is once more navigable to the blue water of the Atlantic.The last vessel to clear for sea in 1883 was the Hanoverian, of the Allan Line, which event took place November 19.From that date up to the arrival a few days ago of the Polino,the waste of ice and snow on thie river seemed almost a jest on the idea of the prospect of navigation again becoming a possibility, and when strangers were visiting Montreal during the winter they were somewhat skeptical of the idea of ships ever appearing before a city bounded on the water front with such masses of ice, However, time in its changes has removed the barmer which imprisoned the waters, and should any of the incredulous ones visit this city during the summer they will be rewarded by the sight of as fine a fleet of ocean vessels as salls the seas.For the third consecutive year we are called upon to record the fact of the Beaver Line being the first to have a vessel in port at the beginning of salt water navigation.In 1882 the Lake Manitoba arrived May 6, closely followed by the Manitoban.The Lake Champlain arrived May 7, 1883, having made the passage from Liverpool in 26 days, which included some detention by ice.In her wake came the Ontario, Texas and Grecian.The season has been again inaugurated by the arrival.of the Lake Champlain, that vessel having made fast to the Beaver Line Dock at 9 a.m.yesterday.She is in command of Captain Tranmar, late of the Lake Winnipeg.His First Officer is Mr.W.J.Bairnson, formerly of the Lake Manitoba.Mr.C.Jones and Mr.J.Latham are Second and Third Officers respectively.An abstract of the Cham- plains log appeared in TuE Heraup of riday.The vessel had a comparative smooth passage out.With the exception of having the paint scraped off her sides at the water line there is nothing in the appearance of the ship to indicate a voyage through some of the roughest water of the North Atlantic.The Lake Champlain passed safely through seventy miles of tloating ice in the Gulfe.NEWS ALONG THE WHARVES, 1tems of Interest.Next week there will be eight.cranes in position on the wharves.They will be operated by the Montreal Steam Crane Company.The regular coal fleet is not expected to arrive for some time yet, and in the interim the machinery of the cranes will be put in good working order.The corpse of a man was seen floating in the river yesterday afternoon by some men on the Long Wharf.There will be no lighthouse on the Island Wharf this season.The Sailors Institute is open for the reception of visitors.ail steamship Peruvian arrived in port at2p.m.Friday, and commenced discharging cargo immediately.There is a very dangerous hole in the roadway at the foot of St.Gabriel street, caused by the earth caving in.As it is opposite to the approach to the Dominion ine wharf, the existence of a large amount of traffic calls for its being speedily repaired.The side wheel steamer Miramichi arrived in the harbor from Quebec on Friday at 1 pm.During the winter she was laid up in Dinning\u2019s ship-yard, from which place she came cut of last Tuesday.The liramichi has been made practicaily new since her last appearance here.Her bottom has been thoroughly overhauled,\u201d and her elm sheathing, seacocks, etc., put in god condition.The planking was caulked, the seams cemented and two coats of red lead put on.The hull has been inspected by Mr, Brunel, Government Iuspector of Hulls, and found in first-class condition.The machinery and boilers have been thoroughly cleaned and overhauled under the supervision of Mr.Jos.Sampson, the Government Steamboat In- specior, and are in the best of order.The cabins fore and aft have been painted throughout.The Miramichi went to the Island Wharf, and began loading for her first trip to the Gulf Ports, and is advertised to leave to-day.Yesterday\u2019s gale of wind was so strong that work had to be suspended on some of the harbor dredges, owing to the roughness of the water.The steamer Canada had to be secured fore and aft by extra hawsers.HOUSEHOLD SUPPLIES, Bonsecours market yesterday presented a fairly animated appearance, there being a sufficient attendance of buyers to absorb the supply which, although it could not be called large, was larger than on Tuesday.Business progressed with a fair degree of activity, and prices generally were steady.Buyers Lad a fair supply of vegetables to select from, as gardeners were on the market in fair numbers.Potatoes were worth 70c¢/@80c.Carrots sold at 10c per bushel, cabbages, at $1.20 per doz., new do.at 20c each, and sweet potatoes at $2.10 per bushel.Other kinds were shady and unchanged.The fruit market was quiet.Bananas brought $2.10/@$6.50 per bunch.Almeria grapes $7@$9 per barrel, and Valencia oranges $6.50/@$7 per case.Dairy produce had a fair demand at steady prices.Fresh print butter sold at 25c/@ 30c per pound, and new laid eggs at 16c/@ 18¢c per dozen.Poultry continues scarce with prices high.Two fine turkeys were bought to-day at $3 each.Fowls sold at $131.50 per pair.In meats no change occurred, the average business being done at steady prices.There was a choice selection of fresh fish offered.Among the stalls worthy of note were Mr.Thos.Cawthorne and Messrs.Larivee & Son.They have red snapper and mackerel from New York, sturgeon from Ogdeusburg, and several kinds of fresh water fish, making a very fair display.PERSONAL.J.Curtis Clark, Librarian of the G.T.K.L.&S.Institute, has been honored by receiving through Lord Melgund, the Governor-General\u2019s Secretary, the photographs and autographs of His Excellency the Governor-General and Lady Lans- downe.Mr.J, Duncan Davison, who has for so many years conducted the Collection Department of the Dun Wiman & Co.Mercantile Agency, with every satisfaction to a numerous Clientele, has been appointed commissioner for taking affidavits in the following Provinces :\u2014Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.The Hon.J.R.Thibaudeau, Mr.H.R.Ives and Mr.Thomas White, M.P., have been chosen to represent tbe Montreal Board of Trade at the opening of the new New York Produce Exchange on Tuesday next.The Corn Exchange will send Messrs, John Magor, Alexander Mitchell, and W.W.Ogilvie on the same occasion.POPULAR PASTIMES.The Kennel, MONTREAL KENNEL {LUB.This club, which has hitherto been known under the name of the * Dog Fau- ciers\u201d Association,\u201d held a special meeting at the St.Lawrence Hall on Thursday evening last,\u2018for the purpose of making some important changes in the constitution.It was resolved that the name should be changed to that of \u2018\u2018 Montreal Kennel Club.\u201d The next thing taken into consideration was the advisability of increasing the nuinber on the commitree of management, it being the opinion of the meeting that by the presence of an additional number on the committee the club would be materially benefitted.It was resolved that the present committee be empowered to add to their number, and also to appoint such other honorary officers as they should deem advisable.At the suggestion of Major Evaus, it.was re- selved that one of the objects of this club should be to aid the owners of dogs stolen in recovering their property, and that this club offer a reward for the conviction of the thief, The question of holding a dog show this year was discussed at some length.It was resolved that this club hold its show this year as usual, the date to be fixed later on.For the above purpose a large amount of money will be required ; this it is proposed to raise by subscriptions placed at the small sum of $2 each, for which a ticket will be given the suoscriber, entitling him to all the privileges of membership, and also to free admission to any of the shows.The following gentlemen comprise the present committeeof management : President, Samuel Goulson ; Ist vice-president, John A.Pitt; secretary, J.S.Wall; assistant- secretary, B.T.Holdbrook ; treasurer, T.V.R.Brown.Committee: Wm.Cowie, A.M.Esdaile, Wm.Mackenzie, John F.Campbell, J.B.Sparrow, and R.B.Ross.Persons desiring to join this club can procure tickets of membership from any of the above mentioned oticers.I'nrther information may be obtained at No.98 St.Francois Xavier street, and communications addressed to P.O.Box 1246.\u2019 Football TO-DAY\u2019S MATCH\u2014THE BRITANKIAS VS.OTTAWA COLLEGE.The spring football season in Montreal may now be regarded as in full swing, there being no less than two matches this afternoon.Of these, probably the most interesting to Montrealers will be that between the Britannias and the Ottawa College team on the Montreal Lacrosse grounds.Play will coumence at 2.30 p.m., and as both teams are remarkably fit, a good match may be looked for.The names of the team are as follows :\u2014 BRITANNIAS, OTTAWA COLLEGES.M.Biatklock, G.O\u2019Reiley, J.G.Ross, J.McCarthy, J.J.Arnton, D.Dunn, K.D.Young, W.McCarthy,

will he between the first fifteen of the Montreal Club and the Cadets of the Royal Military College, Kingston, which also promises to be very exciting.The Cadets are in very satisfactory condition, and if they play as well to-day as they did in the recent match with the Kingston Field Battery, they will give the Montrealers a hard tussle.It is to be hoped that the contests will be free from disputes, this being a very weak point with the Cadets.The names of the Montreal men\u2014who left by last evening's train for Kingston\u2014are :\u20141, R.Campbell, Captain; 2, R.Stirling; 3, J.N.Fulton; 4, F.E Cains; 5, G.H.Hamiltqn; 6, H.R.Drummond ; 7, M.Drummond ; 8, E.W.Wand; 9, J.W.Owens; 10, H.Cowans; 11, F.Meredith; 12, A.D.Fry; 13, W.B.Getty ; 14, R.Davidson ; 15, not chosen, but two men were taken up.Lacrosse.MONTREAL LACROSSE CLUB.The parent of all lacrosse clubs will open the season of 1884 with an Indian match on Saturday, the 17th inst.,, an early and satisfactory start.On the Queen\u2019s Birthday the men in scarlet and grey will again cross sticks with the reds trom Caughna- waga, and in the evening the club will give a grand display of fireworks furnished by Messrs.Cushing & Co., and under the immediate supervision of a first-class American -pyrotechnist.It is likely that the match for the championship with the Torontos\u2014the result of the Montreal club\u2019s challenge of last season\u2014will take place on the following Saturday, the 31st 1nst.in Toronto.THE GAME IN ENGLAND, At latest advices the usual annual tour of the Cambridge University lacrosse team was very successful, the team only meet- Ing with varying success, however.They defeated the Oxton, Cheshire, club, but were easily defeated by Liverpool.The annual match between Lancashire and Cheshire was won by the former by 9 games to 3.THE SHAMROCKS, The ex-champions will commence their practice on the Shamrock ground this afternoon, when, no doubt, good work will be done.THE OELRICHS CUP.The most successful exhibition of lacrosse playing at the hands of United States lacrosse clubs took place on Thursday on the grounds of the St.George Cricket Club in Hoboken for the Oelrichs Cup.The games began at noon and the first to enter the lists were the Druids, of Baltimore, and the Independents, of New York.The result was the success of the Druids by two goals to one, Mr.Riggs, of the Druids, capturing two goals, and Baker, of the Independents, one.\u201d Then came the rival twelve of Yale and Princetown, and the Yales came in victors by three goals to one.New York\u2019s twelve easily beat the New York University by five goals to nothing.The Druids defeated the Yales, the Baltimores winning by one goal to none.The Druids next faced the victorious New Yorkers, and as time was short one THE MONTREAL HERALD, \u2018AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.SATURDAY, MAY 3 goal decided the match, the New Yorkers winning.THE AMERICAN TEAM FOR ENGLAND TESTED.This gave them the championship and the cup, and then came the event ot the, day\u2019s tourney\u2014a match at best two out of three goals\u201d between the United States twelve, selected to go to England to-day, and a picked twelve of the clubs present, the teams being as follows :\u2014 American.Position.Picked Team.Crosble.H.Penniman.W.Penniman.Cover po Cottle First defense.Mallon.Stewa, second

above as evidence of the success of Canada\u2019s national game in the South, it is gratifving to note so many Canadians giv- Ing a good account of themselves, even if they are away from their native land.The Great Walk at New York.FITZGERALD MAINTAINS HIS LEAD\u2014ROWELL CATCHING UP.The fourth day of the international con\u201d test of endurance at Madison Square Garden, New York, has further intensified the interest felt in the struggle.Fitzgerald, by reason of his connection with Montreal, has been the favorite here since the start, and when it was known that he was leading yesterday much satisfaction was expressed.The ex - Alderman kept the lead all yesterday, closely followed by the plucky Charlie Rowell.The fight between these two has been very exciting, the distance between them varying from seven to twenty-four miles, There were over 10,000 persons in attendance tonight, the utmost enthusiasm being shown.Fitzgerald went off the track at 8.21, and did not returp until 9.58, then wearing a bright green cap and was vociferously cheered.During his absence Rowell lowered his lead by seven miles.The latter had improved a little in the betting during the evening, being quoted 8 to 100 against the field.The betting on Fitzgerald was 100 to G0jon the field.It is said that Fitzgerald complained of sickness during the evening, and it is predicted that he will not last much longer.His appearance seems to favor this supposition.Compared with vesterday the two leaders are in the.same peritions, but Panclhot, who was sixth, has crept up until now he is third.Noremae, fourth yesterday morning, has retained his position, as also has Herty.Vint, who was third yesterday, is now sixth, having changed places with Panchot, the Buffalo postman.Inthe 2:4 hours from 1 a.m.on Friday to 1 a.m.on Saturday the distances covered were as follows: \u2014 Fitzgerald, 88 miles ; Rowell, 85; Panchot, 105; Noremac, 98; Herty, 90; Vint, 78; Elson, 63, and Nitaw, 6.lt will therefore be seen that Panchot has carried off whatever honors there were on Friday.THE SCORE, Below will be found the positions of the men at the various hours yesterday :\u2014 TWO P, M,

third.The betting was 9 to 4 against Busybody.THE ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.At a meeting of the English Jockey Club to-day Sir George Chetwynd asked concerning the truth of the alleged conspiracy amoung jockeys and bookmakers to sell races, Lord March replied that the stewards had heard rumors of such a conspiracy, but no accusation had been formulated.Their existing powers were sufficient to cope with the evil when direct evidence was produced.Sir George Chet- wynd said he was satisfied with the statement.THE PITTSBURG MEETING, Prrrsaure, May 2.\u2014The programme of the summer meeting of the
