Queen\u2019s Bench to-day Mr.jIrving, Q.C.,on behalf of the Crown, moved for leave to fyle a return to the catiorari, granted by Chief Justice Hagarty.Mr.Cameron, Q.C., for the defendants, objected to the right of the Crown to interfere, on the ground that the certiorari had been taken out by the defendants, therefore the conduct of :the proceedings under it belonged to them.After argument Mr.Cameron asked a \u2018postponement of the motion for a few days until the return of Mr.Dalton McCarthy from Ottawa.The Court directed the argument of the objection to stand till to-morrow.The City Council this afternoon, to get out of the Queen\u2019s Birthday celebration difficulty, passed a resolution proclaiming Saturday next, the 24th, a civic holiday, instead of Monday.After the meeting

BURNED TO DEATH.Horribly Fatal Fire at Sharbot Lake, Ont.Three Persons Perish in the Flames.Special to THE HERALD.KinasroN, Ont., May 19.\u2014The following particulars of the Sharbot Lake horror have been received.George Peters, a drunken and worthless character,a laborer on the Ontario and Quebec Railway, his wife and family, lived in a frame shell of a house, and four or five of Peters\u2019 associates boarded with him.Last night was spent in dissipation, and the spree continued far into the night.After midnight Peters, very much inebriated, started for his bed.He picked up the lamp and proceeded to climb the stairs, but his movements were wavering and irregular, Whether he fell and lost his hold upon the lamp, or whether in a rage he threw the light down stairs no one can positively state, but the lamp came down the stairway, was smashed, and in an instant the oil was ablaze, the flames reaching high and igniting the wood about it.An alarm was given, and John Peters, a son, jumped from his bed on the first floor and, picking up a pail of water, dashed it upon the oil, This only spread the flames and he had to fly.The fire now roared and crackled as it crawled up the papery walls of the lower flat.The family were aroused; most of them were on the upper flat and their escape was then apparently impossible.However, an attempt was made and several of the daughters and the mother rushed through the flames and saved their lives.John Peters and the boarders, Downing and Dougherty, also got out, hut three others were burned to death.What became of Peters, who caused the accident, whether he made any attempt at escape we cannot learn, but it is thought that in his drunken condition he could do nothing, was stifled by the smoke and perished.Maggie Peters, aged 20, smart and determined, after escape looked about to see if all the members of the family were out and she found that the flower of the family, a little girl, eight years of age, was in an upper chamber.Like a flash Maggie, with eyes ablaze and flowing hair, dashed into the burning building and mounted the stairway.She no sooner reached the upper flat than the smoke overcame her, and half-suffocated she fell, rolled over and over, and down the stairway.The fire caught her long, loose hair and burned it to the roots.The mother, frantic and desperate, ran into the building and, at the risk of her life, dragged her daughter out of the flames.Both were greatly injured, and the daughter is now in a precarious condition.The little girl was not seen again alive, but the body to-day appeared a shocking sight, Miss Brogden, who was the other victim of the terrible fire, was visiting the Peters.She was sickly, and found it impossible to fly when alarmed.ee CHURCH COUNCILS.The

Athletic Association.THIRD ANNUAL MEETING, There was a large attendance of members at the annual meeting of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association held last evening in the Club House, Mansfield street.The president.Mr.W.L.Maltby, occupied the chair and there were present on the platform Messrs.T.L.Paton, H.W.Becket, W, Cairns, A.Grant.S.M.Baylis, A.W.Stevenson, R.B.Ross and H.S.Tibbs.The chairman in opening the meeting said that the association was in a most prosperous condition as the reports would show ; its affairs had been managed in a business-like manner and as long as a high standard of honor was maintained in regard to sports the association would be assured of success.(Applause.) The minutes of last meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr, H.$ Tibbs read the following DIRECTORS\u2019 REPORT.The Directors present their annual report for the past year with considerable { pleasure,and pride,\u201d inasmuch as, mainly through their attention to the affairs of the Association,it is now in & more prosperous condition than at any time since its orga- mization, the membership being larger and the financial outlook most satisfactory.The major portion of our income is derived from the subscriptions of members which foot up to the respectable figures of $5,567, an increase of more than $1,200 over that of the previous year, while the membership of the Association and its various branches and affiliated clubs is as stated below :\u2014 È 3 ra = B 2 a : E 3 : : 8 Membership.: : : \u2018Whole assoetation.19 40 9% Clubhouse only.228 11 1 Gymnasium and library.46 15 Billiards, bowling & shooting.eee .oe 3 1 less Lacrosse club.87 3 less Snowshee club .11 3 Bicycle.cov.iiiiniinienanns .4 MU Totals.355 728 176 Total membership Increase of paying members.The financial statement, which has been circulated among the members in accordance with the requirements of the by-laws, duly audited and found correct, shows a nett surplus of revenue over expenditure -{ of nearly $1,600, which exceeds even the most sanguine expectations of the Board of Directors, and that in spite of the extraordinary out-door attract'ons during the past winter, which considerably reduced our Club House receipts for January, February aod March, and the wretched luck of the Lacrosse Club in having wet weather for three of théir matches, bring- 1 + over last ing them out with a deficit of about $370.| During their terms of office your Directors have held 53 meetings, attended as follows ¢£\u2014W.L.Maltby, 42 , H.W.Becket, 49 ; W.Cairns, 49 ; T.L.Paton, 42 ; R.B.Ross, 35; A.Grant, 32; S.M.Baylis, 48; A.W.Stevenson, 1, and H.S.Tibbs, 52.It was a matter for regret that several members had to Le expelled during the vear for non-payment of dues.You are, of course, aware of the formation of ¢ The Amateur Athletic Association of Canada,\u201d which will in future control the Canadian championship cumpetitions and adjudicate upon applications of disqualified Canadian amateurs for reinstatement.This will be much more satisfactory than the former system of appealing to the N.A A.A.A, with which it becomes a question whether we should continue to affiliate now now that we have a national body of our own.During the fall we had several Hare and Hounds runs, some of which were very largely attended.The chairman of the Billiard Room Department reports the income from this source slightly in excess of last year\u2019s in spite of counter attractions.Three tournaments during thé season resulted as follows :\u2014 Pool [handicap].1.J.K.Whyte 2.J.L.Gardner 4-Ball [handicap] .1.R.Booth 2.J.L.Gardner 3.N.J.Fraser Ball .essosenssccc0u0000- 1.R.Booth 2.R.Summerhayes The Chairman of the Bowling and Shooting Department reports again in favor of abolishing the monthly competitions and substituting prizes for highest scores during the season.The department shows a net increase of revenue of $35 ear.The Chairman of the Entertainment Committee reports the same difficulty in getting up amusements as experienced by the other departments.The only enter- ments held were those on the 21st December by the members of the Bicycle Club, and on the 28th March by the Dramatic Club.The thanks of the, Association are due to the Misses Allan for their kind assistance in the latter case.The amount outstanding for the new stage is now only a little over $100, which will, no doubt, be cleared off\u2019 this season.The Chairman earnestly recommends to the attention of the incoming board the absolute necessity for providing additional means of egress from the hall, preferably by a door at the side of the hall to lead or a passage to Mansfield street.The main doors should also be made to open outwards as soon as finances permit.he Chairman of.the Library and Club Roome reports that during the winter a private subscription was raised among the members to redecorate the rooms, and an equal amount to that raised granted by the Board from the Association funds.It is à matter for regret that the committee have been unable to make any arrangement with the Mercantile Library so far, and it is to be hoped some result of their labors will be reached ere long so that the valuable collection of books on the shelves of the library may be put in circulation once more.The Chairman of the Gymnasium Department reports an important addition to the equipment of the hall by the introduction of a quantity of Dr.Sargent\u2019s _itn- proved apparatus purchased at a considerable outlay, the beneficial qualities of which have been enhanced by a new system of medical examination by Dr.Gurd, who has awarded the prizes for best physical development during the season as follows : | 1.J.C.Allan, 2, E.C.P.Guy.The Chairman recommends the purchase of further apparatus, and is strongly against the plan of a so-called gymnastic instructor to lead a class of unequally powerful individuals through the same amount of works This spring a petition to the License Commissioners was drawn up and signed by the officers and a large number of members against granting licenses for saloons in the neighborh of our Club House ; the license petitioned against has not been granted so far.Your Directors decided to offer to any of the clergymen of the city, who might be suggested, the privileges of our Club House without fee, and several have accepted the same.our Directors decided to accept the bonds of 1882 in payment of subscriptions of members pending arrangements for a drawing in the ordinary course, and a large proportion have been wiped out in this manner, so that but $570 now remain outstanding.W.L.Marrsy, President.TI.L, Paton, Hon.Sec\u2019y.The chairman moved the adoption of the report which was seconded by Mr.J.Whyte.The Treasurer\u2019s report, which was printed and circulated, was taken as read and adopted on motion of the chair, seconded by Mr.W.Cairns.Mr.R.D.McGibbon said the results of the Association\u2019s work exceeded the brightest anticipations and the Directors were entitled to the warmest thanks of the members.In regard to the Mercantile Library, he was of opinion that the books, most of which were old and unsuitable, should be removed in order that the Association might start a new collection for its members.In conclusion he had much pleasure in moving a hearty vote of thanks to the Directors.Mr.J.K.Whyte seconded the motion, which was carried with applause.Mr.A.W.Stevenson explained that the committee named to confer with the trustees of the Mercantile Library had found that two of the trustees were willing to hand over the library and assets of the Mercantile Association to the M.À.À.A, under ceriain conditions, but it had been so far found impossible to obtain the consent of the third.He was still hopeful, however, that some such arrangements could be reached.The assets amounted to $7,000 and the books.Mr.Angus Grant added that $4,000 of these assets had been deposited in the Exchange Bank and that remainder was invested in a good mortgage.Mr)McGibbon then moved, seconded by Mr.Geo.Starke, that the Board of Directors be instructed to take such steps as will definitely settle the question of the library.Mr, Geo.Starke then begged to be allowed to interrupt the business of the meeting and presented Mr.Norman Fletcher with a handsomely illuminated and framed address from the members of the Association on the occasion of his recent marriage.Mr.Fletcher made a suitable reply, thanking the members and congratulating the Association on having so many young athletes coming forward who would ably sustain its reputation in the future.The meeting then proceeded to the coa- sideration of several amendments to the constitution and by-laws, only one of which, however, was of public interest, in.which the Association transferred its allegiance from the National Association of Amateur Athletes of America to the Amateur Athletic Association of Canada.Mr.Tibbs gave notice of motion that the three clubs, lacrosse, snowshoe and bicycle, be given equal representation on the Board of Directors.The meeting then adjourned.Athletics.ANOTHER WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE BY | -.GEORGE.A Lendon cablegram to the New York World says :\u2014 The London Athletic Club held its spring meeting to-day.In the four mile handicap race, which was won by Carter with 70 seconds\u2019 start, there were 22 starters.G.W.George, whq started at the scratch, ran second in.The race, which was run right to a finish, was the fastest on record, Carter\u2019s time, with his etart, being 19 mins.34 4-5 secs, while George made the entire distance in the remarkable time of 19 mine.39 4-5 secs.Both were very much exhausted at the end of the race, George doing hie utmost to catch Carter in the last half mile.The best previous amateur performance for four miles was that of Mr.George, who topped the record with 19 mins.49 3-5 secs.in March, 1882.The best professional record is 19 mins.36 secs.Mr.George now claims that he can run faster than ever for a short distance, and since he was in America he has shown wonderful improvement in this particular.Heavy odds will be laid on George against Myers, should they come together for any distance over half à mile.Mr.Cowie, who will probably be Myers\u2019 opponent here for Short distances, won the quarter-mile in race to-day in 52 seconds, and he won so easily that Mr.George, who was watching him closely, was greatly impressed, and expregsed the opinion.that Myers would have something to do beyond his calculations when they meet.The Turi.LATEST BETTING OX THE DERBY.A London exchange of the

Woodcock first refused, and at which Ike Bonham fell, the old horse subsequently causing much amusement by running and jumping several obstacles in advance of the whole field.In the run around the whole farmhouse and up the straight past the stand, Hobson\u2019s Choice retained the lead, followed by Woodstock, Rose, Response and Barometer, all well together.But before they reached the slat fence Rose ran into the lead, Pat Meany, with his usual skill, saving a great deal of ground by running close to the flags.He led over the \u201cslats\u201d as also he did over the double,\u201d after which he took a pull and gave the lead to Mr.Mortimer on Hobson\u2019s Choice, who took the stone wall a length and à half in front of Response, with Rose third, Woodcock fourth, Boomer fifth, away in

round the farm with from four to six lengths to spare until he came to the water, when Response closed up and the two made the jump handsomely half a length apart, with Roge a close third away in front of Boomer and Tom Naven.At the next jump, a board fence, Response (the same as Carmelite in the Heavy Weight race) ran out of the course, which ended his chances, and as Hobeon\u2019s Choice began to tire Meany went to the front with Rose, and opening a gap of from five to ten lengths he showed the way over the remainder of the course back tothe farm, during which Boomer had moved up

one.The horse, however, is under suspicion.It is believed that the Walton syndicate is at present practically bankrupt, having lost almost everything which it had to venture on recent turf events.Mr.Brewer, who was formerly Walton's agent, now repudiates him, os tensibly on the ground thai Richmond was purposely trated in such a way as to de- eeive the touts and the public into the belief that he was in very bad form.Itis stated that during the whole time that Richmond was reported to be injured and was supposed to be \u201c eating his head off\u201d in the Walton stable he was being regularly exercised by long gallops.Meanwhile Walton was taking long odds on Richmond and now he stands to win an immense sum if the horse lands the Blue Ribbon Derby.In any case he could make a handsome thing of it if he were to hedge now.Mr.Brewer\u2019s virtuous indignation 18 rather spoiled by the fact that he demanded a share of the long odds which Walton had obtained about Richmond and only severed his connection when Walton po- gitively refused to admit him to partnership.THE MARYLAND JOCKEY CLUB, .BaLTimorE, May 19.\u2014The spring meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club at Pim- lico

Immigrants who Come to Canada and the Class who Should Come \u2014 The \u2018Federal Government's Mistake and How to Rectify It\u2014The Future of Canada, Learning that Mr.James Aspdin, J.P., anether well-known immigration agent, was in the city, a representative of this paper called upon him at the Richelieu Hotel forthe purpose of obtaining some further information in regard to the class of people coming from the old country, and upon whom toa certain extent the future of this great north land depends.The reporter met with a most cordial reception, and Mr.Aspdin, although having but a short time at his disposal, he intending to leave for Quebec by the night train to catch the Sarnia whieh sailed on Saturday, signified his willingness to impart all the information that lay in bis power._ In tho first place, Mr.Aspdin stated that he was an immigrant himself, having come to Canada about 18 years ago, He Knew all about the so-called horrors of a steerage passage and the hardships of a ioneer fife, as when he first came here e had been engaged in lumbering and milling, so that literally and practically he had been through the mill.He no longer considered that England was his home, but claimed the County of Simcoe, where he is a large property onwer, as such.He had gone into the immigratior business for a two-fold purpose, first as a source of recreation, as it offorded him a means of travel, of which he was very fond, and in which he could indulge, having, although a young man, gained an independant fortune; and secondly from motives of philantrophy, for, as the new world had nurtured him so kindly, he took enough interest in the destinies of his countrymen, to try and induce those who would be a benefit to Canada to follow in his footsteps.He then recalled the remarks of Mr.Jones which had appeared in THE HERALD, and said that although he did not wish to detract from or speak slightingly of that gentleman, still he though that it must be acknowledged that the class of immi- I would say, answered Mr.Aspdin, abolish all government agents, and leave the affair in the hands of the local men at home, who are certainly the best judges from their large experience in the various agricultural districts of England, which they frequently visit, as to who are likely to make the best class of settlers.Then, above all, as I stated before, give the bonus for the best class that would come.What do you think of the prospects for immigrants during the present year ?I think they are not nearly so bright as last year.In Ontario, in particular, there seems to be a sort of distrust in the air.The farmers who employed six men last year are trying to do with four this, and those who employed four are trying to do with two.They seem afraid to take on tou many hands Mr.Aspdin then said that he would not advise anyone to come to Canada this year looking for employ: ment, and that the only class that might come with safety were those who could bring money with them and make a start for themselves.These were the men toadt Canada wanted, and these were the men who were sure to sycceed, and for whom there was plenty of room.During his experience, not alone in Canada, but also in the United States, be had met hundreds of people who had emigrated from the mother land.Among these he had known numbers who were well educated men some the sons of clergymen, professionel men, merchants, and shop keepers, who instead of improving their condition by emigration had sunk lower and lower in the social scale, until they bad reached the level of loafers and vagabonds, in nearly every case the result of going abroad without due consideration.Apart from their\".surroundings, having been unsuitable, the social shipwrecks would probably have gone down in any other place.Moral stamina is essential everywhere, but more particularly so in new countries,.where the old social barriers are broken down, the pro- , tective fdistinctions of caste are unknown, : and the elevating influences of booksare lost for a time, In fact, to sum up, weak-kneed, vacillating people are but of little use in the Old Country, and they are worse then useless in a new one.FEMALE IMMIGRATION.In answer toa question Mr.Aspdin then reverted to the subject of female for a steerage passage and ticket to destination witha year\u2019s board and farming tuition with a first class farmer, fifteen pounds.For an intermediate passage and the same advantages, twenty pounds.And for a cabin passage, ctc., twenty-five pounds.He had found this to \u2018work famously, and had located 44 young men during the present year without one failure; In proof of this he showed the reporter à large number of letters from the young meu and their parents, thanking him in no measured terms.THE PUTURE OF CANADA, In conclusion Mr, Aspdin spoke glowingly of the future of our great Dominion.He said that our country was preeminently the land of the future.We had a country the richness of which, and its vast resources were as yet comparatively unknown.We had everything within us wherewith to build up a great nation, We would shortly see the waters of the stormy Atlantic joined with those of thefplacid Pacific, in bonds of steel on the completion of our great national un- dertaking\u2014the Canadian Pacific Railway.And whatever might befall the other nations of the world, there was but one future for Canada ; and that was with our free and untrammelled people, great, glorious and free, far beyond our most sanguine hopes of realization, MONDAY'S POLICE NEWS, The

men coming from that quarter have hardly ever seen the green fields, let alone knowing the use ofa plough share: Induced by the offers of assisted assages which the Federal Government old so luringly before their eyes, they came out with the expectation of living, to use a vulgar phrase, \u201con the fat of the land,\u201d and with doing perhaps a little work at odd tlmes, in a few years to @mass a fortune and go home walking gentlemen.On the last trip of the Sarnia Mr.Aspdin brought out 312 immigrants, many of them the sons of gentiemen and well-to-do people who had paid a bounty to have their children lodged with re spectable farmers, where they might learn the profession of farming and the first steps towards carving outa future for themselves.The majority of these he had places for in advance, and all those who were located in Ontario he had personally accompanied and seen domiciled in their new homes.They all appeared to be well pleased with their prospects \u2014 in fact, one young man was so delighted with his surroundings that he at once wrote for his brother, and begged Mr.Aspdin to bring him out on his next trip.The reporter was shown many letters from those who had been brought out them by opening up such bright prospects for their future, A but he had no doubt that they had al people had thrown a little more labor on is ands, as after that gentleman left chance

to see at some day the capital of that same empire on this side of the that could be done was to obtain passes for female domestic servants and for wives going to join their husbands.; He then turned to the methods in vogue by the various colonial governments to encourage immigration, and remarked that Canada was far behind all the rest.The Governments of Australia and New Zealand kad agents scattered all over England, who were paid a liberal bounty, not for the number of people they induced to immigrate, but for each experienced farmer, with some capital, who entered either of these, colonies they received a certain per capita sum.On the other hand, the Government of Canada seemed to care not what class of people came, so long as they were people, and apparently even preferred the poorer classes, or why do they spend such large sums of money on assisted passages?He would respectfully suggest to the Dominion Government, or at least to the department having charge of immigration, that for a time at least they would stop throwing away money in the way they were doing, and fall into line with the before-mentioned colonies, and offer the agents a certain sum for each experienced farmer of the better class who could be induced to settle in Canada.The line upon which they were at present working was in reality benefitting no one, as even those who received assistance to emigrate on reaching here were in a worse position than they were at home, as was shown by the late com- laints made to the St.George\u2019s Society.hese people knew nothing about farming, or even any trade, and for any ordinary laborer in our cities and on our public works surely there were enough of our own workmen out of employment.What further remedy would you suggest for this evil ?asked the reporter.haps one of the best openings left to England is overstocked with women, although if they were more generally but tolerated, and turn to brighter climes, where they would be sure of a cordial welcome, and where they might, while maintaining themselves, feel that joy so dear to a woman's breast, that they were conferring as well as receiving benefits,\u201d not only free or assisted passages to women, but also certain prospects for the future, and yet but comparatively few women compared with men, ever take advantage of these offers.from his book on the subject :\u2014 most

strongly against trade unions, and said they did;little else than set class against class, and for no good purpose.Returning again to the subject of emigration he said there Was one particular branch in which he was much interested, and with which he hoped to be able to do a great deal of good.That was to personally bring out young men, the sons of the better classes, and locate them with respectable farmers either in Ontario or Manitoba, charging them only a nominal sum for so doing.In London there were many agencies established apparently for this purpose, but in their hands it had been far from successful.In the first place they charged a young man from fifty to one\u2019 hundred and fifty pounds, they then probably gave some second class farmer about $25 for taking the young man for one year, but these not \u2018being of the right sort they generally managed with hard work and otherwise to thoroughly dis- ust the young fellow with his new home.Long before the year was out he was turned adrift to shift for himself in an unknown land, far from the friends whom he had been accustomed to depend upon, and under these circumstances was it any wonder that many a promising youth had gone to the bad when left to his own resources.The way he managed this work himself was quite different.Since commencing he bad secured homes in Canada for 60 young men, and of these only two had turned out failures.He was thoroughly acquainted with the best class of farmers in\u201d the country, and he had established a scale of rates which he tainly a most important branch of the

Hood, Laurent, Stevenson, Dubuc, Beau- champ, Jeannotte and Donovan.The first matter that came up was In regard to the celebration of the QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY, the Mayor having received a telegram from the Mayor of St.John, N.B., asking what date would be observed for the celebration this year.Alderman Hood stated that the Official Gazette had ordered the celebration on the 28th June, the 24th May to be, however, a bank holiday as usual.Alderman J.C.Wilson said this new country was different from the old, and a holiday in May was almost a necessity for the young people of the Dominion; he would suggest that the Mayor proclaim the 26th May as a public holiday.Alderman Grenier said that if they were going to set aside Her Majesty\u2019s request, they ought not to observe any other day than the 24th May.Alderman Mooney thought the Queen's wishes should be respected here as elsewhere.Alderman Archibald held that the celebration of the Queen\u2019s Birthday on 28th June would have the effect of killing both that holiday and Dominion Day.He was in favor of keeping the 24th May as a public holiday, but without proclamation \u2018or demonstration of any kind.It was finally decided to stick to the 24th May unless further instructions should be received from Ottawa.PETITIONS.The first petition was from the trustees of Knox Church and residents of the locality against the Crystal Rink being used as an opera house, on the ground that the building was unsuitable and unsafe.Referred to the Fire and Finance committees.Mr.Beaugrand offered forsale an album containing prints of Montreal

paving and raising the roadway on Notre Dame street 1n front ef the C.P.Ry.depot next came up, Alderman Laurent moving its adoption.Alderman Grenier objected strongly to the motion as out or

and the Mayor\u2019s decision was maintained by 12 to 11\u2014a majority of one.| The Finance Committee report suggesting a new line of demarcation between Hoche- lagajand St.Mary\u2019s Wards and asking that power be got from the Legislature to that end wae presented and adopted on motion of Alderman Grenier.The Road aud Finance Committee\u2019s joint report for à paved sidewalk in front of the C.P.Ry.depot, Notre Dame street, was adopted.Alderman Mooney attacked the Chairman of the Finance Committee for allowing this to pass and objecting to the previous one.Ald.Grenier said that he had signed neither report, but he was certain that the latter was legal while the former was not.The Road Committee report recommending the substitution of the name Victoria square for Beaver and Radegonde streets, and the name Beaver Hall Hill for Radegonde street above Jurcrs and Beaver Hall Terrace was left over.The Road Committee\u2019s report in favor of granting permission to the City

without delay on the nature and terma of the application on which a permit was granted for the erection of a wooden building known as the Crystal Rink.This was seconded by Ald.Mooney, who thought the motion should be taken up as one of urgency.It was not adopted, however.Ald.Beausoleil\u2014That the Market Committee be required to ask for tenders for the lease of the horse market in accordance with the by-law.ORDER OF THE DAY.The Mayor here left the chair, Ald.Mount, acting-mnayor, proceeding wiih the business.The eighth order of the day for the change of the name of St.Mary street,

defended the action of the Committee, The thirty-third order recommending the acceptance of Mr.S.Waddell\u2019s offer of $300 for a strip of land on Hospital street, acquired for the widening of said street was next taken up.Alderman Stroud thought the amount} {00 small, and Alderman Grenier doubted If the city could dispose of the property by rivate sale, He wasin favor of selling it, owever, as it required.Alderman Stevenson said the three members of the West ward were agreed against narrowing the street, and would urge that it be not only widened but continued through to St.Peter street to

and on the vote beirg taken a majority of 15 to5 was found to continue business, although it was 6 p.m.The first order of the day, to reconsider the resolution of Council of 10th December, 1883, in

St.Jean Baptiste Society was held in the town hall of the new ward, when Dr.Roy,by an unanimous vote, was elected king to represent Francois I.giving bis decree to Jacques Cartier, on the allegorical car of the section at the grand celebration.Jacques Cartier will be perscnated by Sergeant Trempe, of the city police, and Masters Collin and Filion will be the pages.Messrs.Radikin, Bour- bonnier and Palement have been elected officers of the section during the procession.The following brief description of the origin of the custom of choosing a king may prove interesting to thereaders of THE HERALD :\u2014 AN ANCIENT CUSTOM REVIVED.Though the fact of crowning a king for the celebration of St.Jean Baptiste may appear strange to some, yet we will find it is conforming to an ancient custom in vogue among the Flemish people about the year 1450.This custom, which assumed a traditional character, and which annually drew multitudes to the old town of Lille, was first proclaimed for the festival of the Thorn, which was instituted in the year 1220, in the reign of Philip Agustus, by John of Constantinople, a monarch whose name is still dear to the citizens of that place.Every year the magistrates chose a \u201cking\u201d to preside at the jousts, banquets and fetes, by which his reign was signalised.This \u201cking\u201d was to be a burger of honest family, and at the same time a man of fair name and goodly substance.His duties were onerous: \u2014He must pos- sees such a liberal spirit as would conciliate all parties, and a purse adequate to provide entertainments for his fellow- citizens with becoming dignity and splendor.The most reoowned of these kings was John de la Cambe,chosen in the year 1441, in the reign of the great Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good, and, as the history of his country informs us, possessed all the qualifications of character and fortune required for the exercise of the func- tious of his mimic royalty.\"The most commendable trait of character to be admired in this man of the peoples choice was his charity to the poor.Those in need were ever benefitted by his generosity and it was, above all, that during a grevious famine which desolated Flanders in the year 1461,that John de la Cambe exhibited that profuseness of charity which made ple.and notwithstanding the ravages of war and the storms of revolution this pious and charitable foundation is still standing, The above may prove interesting to those that will take part in the celebration of the festival of St.Jean Baptiste, and it will show that the custom of chosing a king is not of late origin and that the festival in connection with it was celebrated with much enjoyment by people of former times.The general committee of the St.Jean Baptiste Society are prepared to grant licenses for the sale of retreshments and other articles on the exhibition grounds during the four days the festival will last.The Mass which is to be celebrated on the Exhibition Grounds on June the 24th, the first day \u2018of the celebration will be a low Mass, but a choir of upwards of 200 voices will sing sacred music during the Mass.Squares for the erection of family tents on the grounds will be leased, at the rate of $1.00 per square of 25 feet.On Sunday eveuinga largely attended meeting of the parishoners of St.Vincent wae held in the basement of the Church of St.Vincent de Paul.Nearly all those present paid in their subscriptions to the celebration, and several mechanics present offered their services free of charge to agsist in the construction of the Alle- goarical Car * Maisonneuve.\u201d IMPORTANT.When you visit or leave New York City, via Grand Central Depot, save Baggnge Express- age and $3 Carriage Hire, and stop at the Grand Union Motel,

were frequently applauded.\u201d At the opening the reverend gentleman delivered some extended remarks in regard to the past and present history of England, not only as the birthplace \u2018of

morning the cigar factory of Mr.Louis Lesser, 195 Fortification lane, was entered by parties at present unknown and $20 worth of the finest cigars stolen.The thief or thieves seem to have been well acquainted with the establishment as they knew where the best goods were kept.They also seemed to have taken their time, as although several boxes were emptied they were all put back again in their prover places and everything left in good oraer.The thieves gained an entrance by breaking a pane of glass in one of the back windows, and then by a trap hatch to the building above.This is the third time that robbery has been committed in this establishment and each time on a Sunday.The case has been placed in the hands of the city detectives, but no trace of the lost weeds has yet been found.In talking toa reporter about the affair Mr.Lesser stated that during the two years his manufactory has been cn Fortification lane he has never seen a policeman pass the door.This statement was mentioned to the police officials who state the lane iu question is not a regular beat, but when a man can be spared he is detailed to it, and at other times the man on duty on St.James street has instruction to take an occasional walk in that direction.PERSONAL.Hon.Senator Cochrane, Miss Cochrane and Miss Roby, of Compton, are staying at the Windsor Hotel, Hon.D.L.Macpherson and Mrs.Mac- pherson were

Having waited for six hours to see the said gentleman, they were sent to the St.George\u2019s Home.Mr.J.J Jones not appearing they made a complaint that he (Mr.Jones) had enticed them out to Canada with the promise of work.I toid them to see Mr.Jones, and after some trouble he was found at the St.Lawrence Hall.When they spoke about work and his promise he told them to \u2018\u201c shift for themselves.\u201d Upon hearing this I got some of them to sign a petition, stating how cruelly they had been used, and had it forwarded to Mr.Lowe, at Ottawa, with a letter written by Mr.Lesper- ance and signed by the Rev.Mr.Dixon and myself.I received no reply.I then went to Mr.Jones on the Thursday morning and stated to him at the St.Lawrence Hall the straits these poor people were in, and wished him to go and see them.He could not then go but said he would, and asked me where the people were.I told him \u201c at the St.George\u2019s Home.\u201d He did not know of such a building or where it was situated, so I gave him the address\u2014 139 St.Antoine street.About half past seven the same evening he called on the Government office \"on Craig street, and saw some of his party, who told him how cruelly he had deceived them.From there he went to the St.George\u2019s Home, and saw many others of his party, who also reproached him with the deception practiced upon them; he left without giving these poor people any satisfaction.On the following Friday he went to Ottawa.On Saturday, In consequence of finding many of these people wandering about the streets, I wired Mr.Lowe at Ottawa, \u201cFifty Jones\u2019 immigrants wander ing streets; what provision will you make?\u201d and received in reply, \u2018\u201c Will communicate your statements to Mr.Jones now in Ottawa.Department will communicate to its agent, Mr.Daly, relative to finding employment\u201d (dated May 10.) These poor people having been left here, 1 wrote a postal card to Mr.Jones stating that the St.George\u2019s Society were calling a meeting to investigate the complaints of these immigrants and what day it would convenient to meet us.He replied Thureday.The society accordingly held an informal meeting on the afternoon of that day, Mr.Jones being present.He (Mr.Jones) would not listen to the charges I brought forward from the statements made me by the immigrants, but began reading from a book he sells in London.After reading from this some time, the chairman wished that I would now read the charges, but this he would not listen to, and got somewhat abusive to me.He was called to order and then informed the meeting that he would not wait and used expressions to me more fitting for Billingsgate than the company he was in.Since then he has stated that I am a Liberal and against the Government, another dodge on his part.All persons know that I attend no political meetings and can therefore at once see through this and that he simply wanted to evade any discussion.Mr.Jones stated to me he had not received anything, but was only doing this for the good of his countrypeople.find since he left that one gentleman had promised £25 to him and feared that, having promised, he could not get out of it.Finding one, he may have got from others.Many cases of his people-are sad.-One

beentfull:and our society has, from meeting to meeting, entered in our minute book resolutions to send communications on the subject to the papers in England, but so far they have wot been sert.It must be understood that I do not wish to stop immigration or throw obsiac'es in the way of it.In fact, my only wish is to help the Government to bring out proper Immigrants and my suggestion is that none but properly accredited Government agents should give information to immigrants ; all others should be frowned down and notices put in the papers that Government otherwise will not be responsible.Why bring these poor people here when our own citizens cannot obtain work ?W.D.Srrocp.Mr.Stroud read one of Mr.F.Wroe\u2019s circulars, which stated that Wroe went all the way with his party and had made arrangements with large employers to take them ail, and further guaranteed good wages for tradesmen.The circular stated that joiners could =arn from 10 to 12 shillings per week, laborers from 6s 5d to 8s 4d, and domestic servants about £1 12s per month.The cost of board per week being $3, or 123 6d.Mr.Redfern asked if it was true that an immigrant had fainted from exhaustion on the Mountain Park last Sunday.The chairman said that the matron had told him that some forty of the immigrants had been on the mountain last Sunday, and two of them had become so exhausted from want of food that they had fainted away, and had afterwards been brought to the Home, where thev had \u201cbeen given The speaker went ou to say that the Home was not allied to any political party, and that the course taken had not veen intended to injure the Government.Mr, Stroud then read a paper signed by a number of immigrants of Capt.Hamil ton\u2019s party, who had come out in the Ocean King, complaining that they had been led to expect work as goon as they arrived here, but that they had found none, and had had to wait for hours at the station, and finally had to seek protection from the St.George\u2019s Society.Donald Grierson, an immigrant belong- Ing to Aspdin\u2019s party, and who came out in the Sarnia, said that Jones kept to himself on the vovage out, and his party saw nothiug of him.Jones had caused it to be published in the English papers that farming in Canada was carried on in entirely different principles from in England, and required no previous learning.The steerage passengers not liking the food served out to them, complained to Jones, and asked him to speak to the steward, but lie refused to interfere.Neither Jones nor Aspdin would interfere.He was near at hand when Jones served out his circular, and heard nine out of ten of his party declare that if they had seen that circular before they would never have left England.Jones told Mr.Stafford, the Government agent at Quebec, that he had visited his party several times in the steerage and saw that they were well treated.This was net true, as Jones had never once entered the steerage.The men had gotten up a petition, but lie could not tell what became of it.Aspdin turned out to be a Dominion agent, and when on the train had donned a Dominion cap, saying at the same time that with that cap on he could trave! free all over Canada.Aspdin was as much to blame as Jones.Jones had promised a man, his wife and sister-in-law a berth shut off from the rest of the steerage, but when they got on board there was no separate berth, and Jones declared he could do nothing for them, advising them to pay the difference and take an intermediate passage.The party nearly beggared themselves in order to follow his advice.Mr.W.F.Mount wanted to know if the object of the meeting was to merely sit down on Jones or to devise some relief for immigrants, and also whether Jones was a paid officer of the London Samaritan Society, in which case they might get at him.r.Stroud remarked that he had not told any of the men to come there that night.\\ Mr.Alfred Perry said that the society had an object somewhat above Jones, whom he considered to be nothing better than a criminal.Their duty was to put themselves in communication with the other national societies and remonstrate with the Government on the system pursued by them.Their agents did a great deal of injury to the country.The St.George\u2019s Society should league themselves with the St.Patrick\u2019s, St.Andrew\u2019s and other national societies and issue a manifesto protesting against tlie present system of immigration.He was not against immigration, Canada was a good country, but they wanted good men in it.Mr.Turton, in a short speech, blamed all tho-e persons from the late Governor- General down who had been delivering lectures, writing pamphlets, or publishing glowing accounts of Canada in the press for the present state of affairs.Men like Jones had only stated to their parties what had been told them by these mistaken praisers of Canada.~The St.Georges Society should have taken a stand months ago and let intending emigrants in England know that the complexion of the labor market here had lately changed altogether.He believed in the national policy but he thought that it was responsible for this change.The Government should have instructed their immigration agents in England to have laid the matter plainly before intending emigrants.He advised the Society not to lose a day in advising people on the other side of the true facts of the case, Mr.Barry, President of the St, Patrick\u2019s Society, said the system was not just éither to the people who came out or those who lived here.It had been stated everywhere, both in and out of Parliament, that owing to the N, P.and the opening up of the North-West, there was plenty of room and employment for all who might come.The Government had never seemed to tire of stating these facts, praising the country up to the skies, and this was the balderdash that had been published in the English papers.Everything had been done to induce immigration, and the increase of immigration by the St.Lawrence last year had been alluded to triumphantly in\u2019 Parliament.The Government, in order to support their policy, should devise some plan for receiving these immigrants and providing them with work ; an united action of the societies would assist in showing the Government that in carrying out the National Policy these strangers should not be received like dogs.Mr.Perry then moved a resolution which he afterwards withdrew in favor of an- otner that contained his views on the sub- Ject.Mr.Judge advised the meeting to be practical aud to use its best efforts to reach people in England.There were associations in England whose sole object was to send people away, who derived an income from the wealthy classes in proportion to the work done.The best thing to do was to draw up a manifesto and have it published in the leading papers in England.To let the public there know exactly how matters stood in Canada wauld be doing a great thing.The real cause of the trouble, however, was the great steamship lines depended chiefly for their revenues on their passenger traffic,and paid commissions to passenger agents for every leftpassenger seoured by them.He believed Joues to be one of these agents, a3 he had out the Allan line of steamers altogether in his circular.Another thing was to impress upon the Government the necessity of taking some steps to provide for the immigrants when they arrive.They should afford thew food and shelter for a time al Jeast.a \u2019 r.D.Richards disapproved of politics being brought into the affair at al, and suggested that they should be very careful in what they did,\u201d For some years past every effort had been put forth to secure immigration and now that there was a tide they should not say that they did not want any more.The class of immigrants they wanted were those who had some money, not paupers, but men willing to work.They should be careful how they let it go abroad that they did not want any more Immigrants.It would be better to put in the English papers that the men they wanted were men who on landing could look after themselves without being dependent on any society.Rev.Mr.Dixon said that he thoroughly endorsed everything that had : Deen said by Mr.Stroud about the sending out of men who were entirely unfitted for the country.Some time ago he had inserted a notice in the papers asking farmers and others in want of help to apply to the immigration offices.The result was that all the immigrants had found work and hundreds more could have been placed if necessary.He protested agains, such men as bad been brought out by Jones, some of whom were totally unfitted for the ccuntry and theothers did not want to work.Either Stafford, the Quebec immigration agent, ought not to send - such men to Montreal, or else there should be some means of sending them on.He thought the Government agents on the other side were giving true reports of the country ; what they had to guard against was the steamship agents.It was only the other day that a farmer had told him that he would take 300 meu to learn farming in his section of the country.Mr.Judge said that he did not intend to deprecate immigration and thought that the memorial ought to be so worded.Mr.Stroud said that it was the fault of the steamship runners, Frank Powell said that he had come out a yearago with one of Jones\u2019 parties and described the passage, during which, he said, they had been altogether nez- lected by Jones.The men had got up a petition against Jones when they landed, and could they have laid hands on him he would have fared badly.Mr.McMillan, Superintendent of the House of Refuge, spoke of the crowds that filled the Refuge last winter, half clad, some of them frost-bitten, and\" de clared that he thought that the Govern- meat ought to make some provision for the immigrants and not throw the responsibility on the community.They should not rest until the Government were made aware of this, He had had applications from persons in the country for labor, but had no means of sending the immigrants on.The Government should supply means of transport to the points of labor.Mr.Barry said that there was ample scope in the country for immigrants with capital.ev.Mr.Patterson said that they should not imagine but that the Government would agree with any action the might take.The Government would than them for guiding public opinion snd strengthen their hands.Canada wanted all kind of immigrants, no matter whether they were poor or not.They might be of great value in the future, and it would be worth the Government\u2019s while to invest a little money in them.It was then moved by Mr.Judge, seconded by Mr.Richards, and resolved : \u201c That this meetingfdirects the St.George\u2019s Society to put itself into communication with the other national societies, with the object of devising means of enlightening public opinion in England as to the class ofimmigrants who are needed in this country, and also of impressing upon the Dominion Government the necessity of providing some shelter for needy immigrants upon their arrival here.Mr.Joyce moved, seconded by Mr.Patterson, that this meeting tender to Mr.W.D.Stroud their thanks for the many acts of kindness he has uniformly extended to the English immigrants who have arrived in this city, and we strongly approve of his action in reference to the immigrants lately landed from the steamer Sarnia.Carried unanimously.A vote of thanks was tendered to the Chairman after which the meeting adjourned.The St.George\u2019s Society, after the strangers had left the room, resolved to appoint the president, two.vice-presidents and the secretary, a committee to consult with the other national societies.The St.Patrick\u2019s Society will held a special meeting on Thursday evening.QUEBEC LEGISLATURE.Third Session\u2014Fifth Parliament.Special to THE HERALD LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY, Queskc, May 19.The FPEARER took the chair at 3,10 p.m.THE JACQUES CARTIER RAILWAY.After routine the order of the day was called to form into Committee of the Whole upon the bill to amend the act incorporating the Union Jacques Cartier Railway Company.Mr.Tamron asked the House to allow him to decline the charge of the bill since the promoters of the measure were not disposed to accept an amendment which he deemed to be in the interest of his constituency.Mr.GAGNON said the bill would remain the property of the House.Mr, GARNEAU volunteered to take charge of the bill, and moved the House into Committee of the Whole on the same.The House went into committe, Mr.Picard in the chair.Mr.Mercier withdrew his amendment moved last week, for the six months hoist.He was quite willing that the bill should go through, and thus secure to Quebec the short route for through freight, so long as Montreal interests and existing rights in the matter of local traffic were observed.He would substitute another amendment to protect those rights, but did not want to deprive Quebec of the through traffic.r.SEEBYN remarked that it would not bè fair to the promoters of the bili to im- ge upon them the amendment of Mr.ercier.Mr.GARNEAU said there was no desire to deprive Montreal of its rights.This was evidently a misunderstanding somewhere, for nobody wanted Quebec trains to run to Bonaventure station.It was always understood that they should go to the Quebec Gate Barracks as fixed by law.Mr.SHEHYN argued that the law had fixed the terminus of the road at St.Martin.Mr.MERCIER said the terminus of the road had been fixed in 1881 at the Quebec Gate Barracks by the law to ratify the arrangement of the terminns for the western section of the road was fixed at the Barracks, and the Government reserved the right for the eastern trains to run over the St.Martin\u2019s branch of the line into the Quebec Gate Barracks station on payment of $5,000 a year.the sale of By the conditions of the eastern section to Fthe syndicate, the latter is obliged to carry freight and passengers to the Quebec Gate Barracks, so that there is no doubt that this 1s the terminus of both roads.Since then the Grand Trunk Railway has bought the North Shore road, and desires to connect it with its road.He had no objection to this, provided they fulfilled the conditions imposed by the conditions of sale respecting the Quebec Gate Barracks.Mr.Beausiex supported the stand taken by Mr.Mercier, and said it was only plain Justice to Montreal East, and no attempt to deprive Quebec of any advantages to be derived from through traffic over the road.He spokeof the clamor which, he said, would be raised by the people of St.Roch s if à loop line had been constructed so as to tap the traffic of the North Shore Railway at Lorette and divert it away from the city in the direction of Cap Rouge.; r.DESJARDINS said it might prove in the future to be very inconvenient to parties having business at St- Henri or elsewhere in the western part of Montreal to be compelled to go around by the way of the Quebec Gate Barracks.Mr.MERCIER said those who would live in the future had contributed nothing to the cost of the road and it was for the House to consider the rights of those who were presently interested in it.The amendment submitted by the Leader of the Opposition is as follows :\u2014 And, whereas by the repeated legislat on of past years finally confirmed by section ¢ of the Act 44, 45 Vic., Chap.2, of this Legislature, the terminus of the Q.M.O.& O.railway was fixed at Montreal, at the place called Quebec Gate Barracks, Dalhousie Square; Whereas the city of Montreal made considerable sacrifices tu secure the construction cf the said railway which now belongs in part to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and in Part to the North Shore Railway Company ; Whereas to attain this end the City of Montreal gave the Government the Quebec Gate Barracks property ; Whereasit is but just that these conditions should be respected, it is enacted as follows, all the freight and passengers of the North Shore Railway destined for Montreal, or sent from Montreal to any point on the said road, shall be carried to and delivered at the station or stations which tho North Shore Railway has a right to use, and especially to and at the station at the Barracks property aforesaid, and the said Jacques Cartier Union Railway Company is prohibited from allowing any part of its road to be used in such manner as to render, directly or indirectly, this prevision illusory, and any violation of this provision shall ipso facto render this Act and the said Act 45, 44 Vic., chap.50, null, and put an end to the existence of the said Jacques Cartier Union Railway Company.\u201d Mr.TAILLON said the company were not dependent upon the House.If they desired what this House refused to accord it, they, could apply at Ottawa for the powers denied them bere.If the purchasers of the railway, however, violated any of the conditions of the sale they woud find it so much the worse for them.He was desirous of doing all that was possible to meet the wishes of the people of Montreal as expressed through its representatives in the City Council, and would, therefore, move as an additional section of the act before the House that nothing in this act should be construed as affecting the conditions of the sale of the eastern section of the Q., M, O0.& 0.railway.Mr.BovER expressed himself as opposed to the amendment of Mr.Mercier on account of the injury it would impose upon the municipalities to the west of Montreal.Mr.GAcxoN favored the amendment of the Opposition leader because he was in order bound to support an arrangement made by the Province.; Mr, SEEHYN was not thoroughly satisfied that the terminus of the road had ever been fixed by law at the Quebec Gate Barracks.The discussion was continued by Messrs.TAILLON, MERCIER, BEAUBIEN and SHEHYN.Mr.FLYNN was opposed to both the amendments proposed to the bill and warned the House against any action that might give the syndicate the semblance of a claim against the Province for imaginary interference of its acquired rights.Mr.RosErrson knew nothing of the question at issue, but reiterated the warning of the Commissioner of Crown Lands respecting any new legislation on the subject.Mr.STEPHENS having claimed that on account of the sacrifices made by the City of Montreal to secure the road the Government owed it more than the syndicate, Mr.SHenyN reminded the House that Montreal was not alone in making these sacrifices.Quebec had made equal sacrifices, while, in proportion to its limited means as compared with those of Montreal, they really were much heavier burdens.Mr.SreruzNs asked if Quebec had not made $200,000 by the transaction.Mr.SHeuyN ridiculed such an idea, and sbowed that Quebec had paid $400,000 to $600,000 to the Government and had besides given 100,000 feet of ground valued at $1 per foot.He thought
