by White who pocketed the package.He also squeezed two other banks under similar pretences, the Richmond, Va., National Bank for $10,000, and Raleigh Bank for $5,000.This was all the money they took

it should become general or extend to the Eastern roads, what in.your opinion would be the effect ?It would depend upon its extent, character and causes.There are no two strikes alike.Still some of its effects would be this, coal and food would give out.Everybody would be out of employment and the working class would e the greatest sufferers, Chicago coald be starved to death in that way for it would be shut off frcm tle outside world.Mr.Depew\u2014How do you regard strikes generally ?As a very poor way of reaching results, Do you favor arbitration ?1 do, that is, unless the strikers want to get the entire management of the road, then you can\u2019t arbitrate.As a railroad man, what course do you think would be the best to adopt under \u201cag present and in similar circum- States ?_ 1

opened up here this afternoon With a grand battle between nearly two hundred boys.It was no sham battle either, but an earnest fight, in which sticks and bricks and rifles and revolvers played an important part, about 3 o'clock this afternoon.A'small crowd of boys congregated on Depot Hill about 3 o'clock.The ground was clear of snow, and so the boys proceeded to open the season in Holyoke with a game of ball By half-past three the crowd had increased to one hundred, and by four o'clock there were two hundred boys\u2014 French, Irish and American\u2014on the hill, none of whom were more than fifteen years of age.A quarrel arose between a French and an Irish boy.The French boys at once took sides with their companion, while the Irish and American boys backed up his opponent.A regular melee followed, and after the first hurly burly game of fisticuffs, the sides each took possession of a hill, and from hill to hill they flung bricks and stones.These missiles were not considered effective enough, and so rifles and revolvers were introduced.Some of the boys on each side had small revolvers in thei ro:kets, which they used to shoot rats with._ Tom Brown, an American boy, didn't have a revolver with him, but he had a rifle at his house, and he went and fetched it, with a dozen cartridges, and fired half a dozen shots.When the rifle and revolver cartridges were all used, and the smoke had cleared away, Henry Boulanger, a French boy, was seen lying on the ground almost dead, a ball having entered Boulangery neck and lodged in the muscle of.hig back.He may recover, however.Several other boys who lay around had slight wounds inflicted by the tiny revolver bullets and bricks used in the fray, 800 Painters on Strike.CISCINNATI, April 2.\u2014FEight hundred house

There has been no change in the general condition of the money market.since we last wrote.The rate obtainable on bills has further fallen, while money has only been cheaper to the extent of the reduction in the bank rate.Early in the week there was a belief that Government disbursements had commenced owing to a sudden increase in the supply of floating cash.The ease, however, soon disappeared, and seven-day loans which fell due at the bank on Tuesday and Wednesday had in many cases to be renewed.The value of short money has therefore ruled from 1} per cent.up to bank rate.The stringency of money caused by the revenue collections would have been much greater had it not been for the investment by the bank in Government securities.The public deposits now amount to over £14} millions as against £10 millions a year ago; but the Government securities, which were about £14 millions a year ago, now stand at over £17} millions.The bank H48 therefore made use of the large amounts of Government money at its disposal by investing in Government securities.Their object in doing 80 has probably been from self-interesé, and induced ty the conversion scheme, rather that from any desire to assist the market ; out the market has, nevertheless, beer relieved to that extent.As the end of the month approaches dealers in bils show renewed disposition to opcate for extremely low rates for morëY in the near future, and to-dav, Fri®y, the downward movement has b= helped by the very low rate at whch the Treasury bills were allotted, particulars of which will be found unde Government notices.A month ago s_ Mr.P.Gauthier (representing Z.La- pierre, wholesale boots and shoes, Montreal) says : In the interest and cause of humanity I considerit my duty totestify to the excellent results I obtained by the use of your Nasal Balm.After suffering several years with that loathsome and distressing disease, catarrh, I became disgusted in using everything I saw advertised and was giving up in despair when a friend of mine whom I placed a great deal of confidence in, persuaded me to try Nasal Balm, which I did, with such happy results that I am now pleased to have all such sufferers know it, and you are at liberty to use this testimonial in any manner you wish, hoping that it will be of as much benefit to some poor sufferer as it has been to me.MacDOUGALL BROS., STOCK BROKERS, \u20ac5 St, Francois Xavier Street.Members Montreal Stock Exchanze.Members Chicago Board of'Prade.Agents for Alex, G:ddes & Co., Chicago.Grain and provisions bought and wold or shareor on margin, vite DUOMS\u2014Very fine, with or without board.Vv first-cla-s l'ouse ;

Yes, in his way he was a Shakespeare!\u201d And Lloyd wheeled around in his chair, and faced me with unnaturally bright eyes and flushed face.I knew that Lloyd was an KEnglish- man, and I heard that had given him a good position on a London paper when he came to this country, but he has told me very little about himself.How the name of Ditkens cropped out in our conversation I cannot now remember, but when it was mentioned Lloyd became enthusiastic.\u201cI spent a wonderful night with him once,\u201d he said, lighting a fresh cigar, \u201cand when you mentioned his name it all came back to me.\u201d \u201cIt was in 58 or \u201959,\u201d continued Lloyd.\u201cAt that time I had the police department on the South London Journal.Without stretching it at all, I think I may say that I had made some little reputation for myself.\u201d \u2019 \u201cWell, to cut a long story short, 1 was working away at my desk, one evening, when Inspector Davis came in.\u201d \u201cWhat do you say to going the rounds with me to-night?\u201d said the inspector.\u201cThanks,\u201d I replied, \u201cbut I am rather busy, and cannot very well go.\u201d \u201cSorry,\u201d responded the inspector, \u201cI am to take Mr.Dickens along, and I took it for granted that you would want to 0.\u201d \u201cCharles Dickens! I shouted.Is he really going with you?\u201d \u201cThat is the arrangement,\u201d said the inspector, \u201c car\u2019t you meet us at Bull's at eleven ?\u201d \u201cYou may rest assured that I promised.I wrote several notes to my reporters, and some minutes before eleven I turned up at Ball's, a third-rate restaurant on Oxford street.\u201cInspector Davis and another gentleman bad just finished their supper.\u201d \u201cOf course the other gentleman was Mr.Dickens.When I was introduced to him he drew me aside in a pleasant way.\u201d \u201cNewspaper man ?\u201d\u2019 he said.\u201cWell, I like all newspaper men.I ought to, you know, for I had adevil of a time myself as a reporter.\u201d \u201cI made some sort of an answer, but Mr.Dickens went on to say : \u201c After all, you newspaper men, you reporters, are the real novelists of the day.Your realistic stories of the comedies and tragedies of life cannot be surpassed.\u201d \u201cNow is the time to catch \u2019em,\u201d said the inspector, looking at his watch.\u201cThe programme for the night embraced a ramble through some of the by-streets between Holborn and Oxford street.Without the inspector it would have been a dangerous trip.\u201d \u201cThe first place we visited was a thieves\u2019 lodging house.Fully a hundred men were stretched on the floor, most ot them asleep, but some were wide awake.\u201d \u201cOne of the lodgers seized Mr.Dickens by the lapel of his coat.\u201d \u201cD\u2014\u2014 you!\u201d he growled, \u201cwhat do you want here ?\u201d \u201cAsk me that question to-morrow and I'll answer you,\u201d said Mr.Dickens with a laugh, and he handed the fellow his card.\u201d \u201cBlast my eyes!\u201d exclaimed the man.\u201cWell, sir, you are among friends here.I say, Mr.Dickens, may I send out for some ale or something?\u201d \u201cNo, we can't wait,\u201d replied the inspector, \u201cwe must visit other places, and you wouldn't like to bother Mr.Dicker 8.\u201d \u201c Divil a bit of it I\u201d exclaimed an Irishman, who had heard the conversation, \u201c but I must shake hands wid you.\u201d \u2018\u201c After a few more handshakes we left and went out into a purer atmosphere.A gin palace stood in our way and a sudden thirst overcame me, \u2018 Come in boys,\u201d said Mr.Dickens, \u201cif we are going to make a night of it, we must prepare for it.\u201d \u201cWe had a jolly time inside.Mr.Dickens chaffed the bar-maids, and they giggled like anything.Inspector Davis, too, was at his best.\u201d \u201c But when we left, the inspector must have whispered something, for one of the bar-maids ran after us and gave Mr.Dickens a little flower, saying, \u2018Oh, sir, you have done so much for us I\u2019\u201d \u201cThe Inspector nudged me, and I thought about it, and I am thinking aout it yet.\u201d \u201cAt one place Mr.Dickens was in high glee.He pointed out a young fellow in a tawdry suit of clothes.and asked u3 if he was not a regular Dick Swiveler, and the man did seem to fill the bill exactly.\u201d \u201cThere is Bill Sykes,\u201d he said at the last place we visited, a low cellar in the very worst quarter.\u201cThe man was the very picture of Bill Sykes, but he overheard Mr.Dickens, and came forward in a belligerent way.\u201d \u201cStand back there!\u201d said Inspector Davis, \u201cdon\u2019t you know me ?\u201d \u201cI know you,\u201d answered the ruffian, \u201cbut I am going to mash this fellow\u2019s nose.\u201d \u201c Mr.Dickens, this is Mr.Chick Dyke,\u201d said the Inspector, laughing.\u201c Not our Charles Dickens!\u201d exclaimed the other.\u201cThe same,\u201d was the answer.\u201cWell, that Bill Sykes fellow almost hugged Mr.Dickens.And they were all that way.\u201cOnce Mr.Dickens pulled out his purse, but the inspector stopped him, and promised to callin the daytime.He said that it was dangerous to show money in that quarter at night.\u201cIn the last house we visited there was a little golden-haired girl curled up in the arms of an old man.\u201cThere is little Nell,\u201d I broke out.\u201cYou are right,\u201d Mr.Dickens answered, as he pressed my hand.\u201cWe must look after her to-morrow, and after.seeing her we had better go.I feel broken up.\u201d \u201c1 was glad to get away and so was Inspector Davis.We went back to Oxford street and had a high old time at a chop house until morning.Mr.Dickens was as jolly as a man could be.He gave us no end of good advice, and even ap- roved of my scheme of going to the nited States.\u201d \u201cI like those Americans,\u201d he said ; \u201cthey like me.\u201d \u201c Human nature, wasn\u2019t it?Shortly after that I left England, and I never saw Charles Dickens again.I know that you will think my little glimpse ofthe man a very unsatisfactory episode, but you were not there.You did not see the man.If you had felt the pressure of bis hand, and looked into his clear eyes, and heard his cheery voice, you would feel as I do now when his name is mentioned.\u201d Lloyd puffed away at his cigar, and I goon convinced him that I thoroughly understood him.; .A night with Dickens is something to be remembered with delight, and it is no wonder that Lloyd felt proud of his little adventure.\u2014_\u2014 Do XOT SUFFER FROM SICK HEADACHE a moment longer.It is not necessary.Carter's Little Liver Pills will cure you.Dose, one little pill.Small price.Small dose.Small pill NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.fiz The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing ailments Peculiar to females, at the Invalides\u2019 Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., hag afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience.Thousands of testimonials, received from patients and from physi- ciang who have tested it in the more aggravated and obstinate cases which had baffled their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women.It is not recommended as a \u201ccure-all,\u201d but as a most perfect Specitic for woman's peculiar ailments.As a powerful, invigerating tonic, it imparts strength to the whole system, and to the wemb and its appendages in particular.For overworked, * worn-out,\u201d \u2018run-down,\u2019 debilitated teachers, mjlliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, \u2018\u2019shop-girls,\u201d housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr.Pierce's Favorite Prescription the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled a8 an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.As a soothing and strengthening nervine, \u2018Favorite Prescription\u201d is une- ualed and is invaluable in alluying and sub- uing nervous excitability, irritability, exhaustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womb.It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Favorite Prescription is a legitimate medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted te woman's delicate organization, It i8 purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the system.For morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys- epsia and kindred symptoms, its use, in small oses, will prose very beneficial.\u201cFavorite Prescription \u201d is a posi« tive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of leucorrhiea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions, prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back, * female weakness,\u201d anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the woinb, in- flamimation, pain and tenderness in ovaries, accompanied with \u2018internal heat.\u201d As a regulator and promoter of functional action, at that critical Pèrioa of change from girlhood tn» womanhood, * Favorite Prescription\u201d is a perfectly sufe remedial agent, oud can produce only good results.It is cqually efficacious and valuable in its effects when taken for those disorders and derange- ments incident to that later and most critical period, known as \u2018* Thé Change of Life.\u201d \u201cFavorite Prescription, when taken in connection with the use of Dr.Pierce\u2019s Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative doses of Dr.Pierce's Purgaiive Pellets (Little Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder diseases.Their combined use also removes blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and scrofulous humors from the system.\u2018Favorite Prescription?ig the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee, (rom the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded.This guarantee has been printed on the bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years.Large bottles (100 doses) $1.00, or six bottles tor $5.00.For large, illustrated Trestise on Dise: of Women (180 pages, paper-covered), send ten cents in stainps.Address, Worid's Dispensary Medica!

the blood, and which attac various parts of the body in different ways.Skin disease shows itself in the HEAD, sometimes in the form of Dandruff, which no amount of brushing and combing will get rid of, and sometimes in the form of Scaly Eruptions.In the NECK, by an enlargement of the glands (commonly called Glandular Swellings), which, if unchecked, become very unsightly wounds.In the ARMPITS, and the inside of the ELBOWS, by an inflamed Roughness of the Skin, which is very painful when washed.In the HANDS, by deep Cracks or Fissures, which, if healed for a few days, speedily open again, or by horny-looking patches.In the LEGS, by Hard, Shiny and Inflamed Swellings, or by wounds more or less deep.And on the BODY, in Red Scaly Patches, which as often ag rubbed off, form again, or {n the discharge of a thin, walery fluid of a very disagreeable nature.In all these cases the treatment must be twofold.An Ointment is re-uired to relieve Itching, and tedicine must be taken to change the state of he Blood, and render it pure.Both these requirements are supplied by Dr.Roberts\u2019 Celebrated Medicines The OINTMENT called \u2018 THE POOR MAN'S FRIEND.\u201d \u2014AND THE\u2014

the Several Churches.It being Easter Monday, the opening of the Clerical year, the annual vestry meetings were held in the several Anglican churches last night.Allthe meetings were largely attended, but nearly all were held with closed doors, that is the representatives of the press were carefully excluded.At some churches the meetings were, as usual, very lively, while at others quiet reigned, but on the whole the discussions and elections passed off far more quietly than last year.The following are the results of the several meetings: \u2018CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL.The annual vestry meeting of Christ Church Cathedral was held in the Chapter House last night, Rev.J.G.Norton in the'chair.The officers elected were :\u2014 Rector\u2019s warden, J.S.Lyman; people's warden, Nomo Godard ; Synod delegates, T.J.Serjeant and Robert Evans; select vestry, Heetor Mackenzie, Jackson Rae, \u2018G.A.Drummond, John Ogilvy, Robert \u201cEvans, W.I.Lewis, R.H.Buchanan, Dr, Wheeler, C.E.Colson, J.C.Baker and P.A.Peterson.The warden's report was most satisfactory ; $2,200 were expended during the year in repairs.ST.GEORGE'S CHURCH.The annual vestry meeting of St.George's church, which was held in the school house, Stanley street, was largely attended by members of the congregation, Very Rev.Dean Carmichael occupying the chair.The expenditure for the past year amounted to $19,210.55, whilst the income exceeded that amount by $142.57.Messrs.J.Hutton and A.F.Gault were appointed lay delegates tothe Synod.Messrs.J.Mills and George Lightbound were re-elected wardens for the ensuing year.The meeting was very harmonious.ST.JAMES THE APOSTLE.The meeting of the vestry of St.James the Apostle\u2019s Church was held last night, Rev.Canen Ellegood, the Rector, in the chair, there being a large attendance of the parishioners.The reports were most satisfactory, the financial statement showing a balance of $500, notwithstanding the fact that extensive and costly repairs had been made to the church building.The election of vestry officers resulted as follows: Rector\u2019s Warden, Mr.Robert Montgomery ; People\u2019s Warden, Mr.J.8.Hall, sr.A committee of five was appointed to act in conjunction with the rector and the two wardens for the purpose of securing the services of a curate at a salary of £1,500 per annum.ST.STEPHEN'S CHURCH.A large number of parishioners attended the vestry meeting at St.Stephen\u2019s Church last evening.The chair was oc- -gupied by the rector, Archdeacon Evans.The churchwarden\u2019s report which was ready proved to be the most satisfactory that Las been read in the history of the church, showing a large surplus.The officers elected for the ensuing year were : Rector\u2019s warden, C.E.Cook; people\u2019s warden, W.A.Scott ; delegates to Synod, F.McCulloch and John Tough; sides- men, Messrs.Cox, Maynard, McCulloch, Neville, Brown and Walsh ; auditors, A.H.C.Walpole and J.Tough.A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and the meeting adjourned.TRINITY CHURCH.The annual vestry meeting of Trinity Church was held last night, the Rev.Canon Mills in the chair.The meeting was opened with the annual report read by the Peoples\u2019 Warden, Mr.Chas.Garth.It showed that the Sunday school was in a prosperous condition, with a large attendance of 130 girls and 105 boys, the Rector\u2019s Bible class 63.with officers and teachers 21, making a total of 319.The collections in the Sunday-school for the year were $95; special collections at Christmas, $57.30, making a total of $152.30.The Band of Hope, since its inception last year, has a very satisfactory record, with a membership of 170, the contributions not onty meeting expenses, but placing $75 to the Repair and Interest Fund of the Church.Throughout the year the ladies of the congregation have been most energetic, raising the large sum of $411.87 in aid of the Church Fund.During the past year there have been thirty-one baptisms, eight marriages and sixteen burials.A parochial missionary was appointed to go through the ish, the result of whose labors is already apparent in the increased attendance.The financial position was most satisfactory, the receipts being considerably beyond the average of past years, fully meeting the expenses of the church and also the interest on the debt.In addition a fund bas been opened for the repair and cleaning of the building which gives promise of an early renovation of this beautiful church.The following is the list of elections for the year \u2014 Delegates to Synod\u2014Messrs.Charles Garth and E.J.Bone ; Auditors\u2014Messrs.Jas.Mitchell and Wm.Lemesurier ; Finance Committee\u2014E.J.Bone, P.C.Wand, James Bailey, W.W.Lemesurier, C.Strangman, W.Hay, W.M.Lemesurier, A.C.MeIncoe, Jas.Mitchell,

warden.ST.MARTIN'S CILURCIL The vestry meeting at the above church was most satisfactory.The rector, Rev.G.Osborne Troop, occupied the chair, and there was a large attendance of membersof the congregation.The æhurchwarden\u2019s report shows that the pew rents show a satisfactory increase -upon last year, whilst the receipts from the offertory under the new arrangement by which the congregation are specially pealed to on Thanksgiving Day and r Sunday on behalf of the church debt, shows a slight increase as compared with last year under the combined system of offertory and special envelope contributions.\"The accounts show.that besides discharging the capital of the ground rent held by the Estate Bagg, the contribution of the church to extraneous objects has again been very liberal during the past year, the total sum paid away on this account being $1,022.68.It for the coming year be fixed at $2,250, being an increase of $250.The increase from pew rents and various objects shows receipts of $8,402.43, with an amount due the treasurer of $544, making a total of $9,027.Against this there was an expenditure of $8,8\u20ac9, leaving a balance of $158.The elections for the year resulted as follows :\u2014Rec- tor's warden, Strahan Bethune, Q.C.Owing to other pressing business anat- ters, Mr.Tatley was unable to accept the post of people\u2019s warden this year, and Mr.R W, Smith was appointed.Messrs.Strahan Bethune, Q.C., aud Alexander Gowdey were appointed delegates to the Synod.ST.BARTHOLOMEW'S, The annual Easter Vestry meeting \u2018of St.Bartholomew\u2019s Church was held last night, there being present a large attend- ai © of church members.The meeting was held, so to speak, with closed doors, and all reporters were refused admittance.From other sources, however, it was ascertained that the meeting was a very lively one; the discussion over a legacy left to the Church about a year ago was particularly stirring.The matter, however, ended amicably to the parties interested.The affairs of the church were announced as being in a flourishing condition, and the receipts during the past year highly satisfactory.A nual elections :\u2014 Senior warden, A.G.Elliott.Junior warden, T.Middleton.Treasurer, W.Scott.Vestry, W.H.Huntley, R.W.D\u2019Olier, D.Browne, G.Weldon, T.Spindle W.Scott, J.Parkins, R.H.Brown, John Mc

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.The Same Old Verdict at the Inquest on the Body of Thomas Connors Last Night.An inquest was held at the General Hospital last night on the body of Thomas Connors, fatally injured at the cordage factory of Alex.Morris & Brother, on Saturday last.Connors had been picking frozen coal in the temporary coal shed used by the company in winter.The shed had been built against the wall of the warehouse about four feet higher than the coal it covered, but the weight of the snow had caved it in until it rested on the coal itself.A portion of the coal known as slack was frozen into a solid piece with a beam resting on it, and picking at the piece Connors brought it down, beam and all, the beam striking him, injuring his head and breaking a rib and a leg.The first witness, Andrew Dunne, foreman in the rope and cordage factory of Alexander Morris & Brother, testified.1 was standing on the bridge connecting the factory and warehouse when the accident occurred.I saw the beam that ran along the roof and the frozen coal fall, but did not see the\u2018 man struck.I do not know what supported the beam.The beam fell about seven or eight feet.On seeing the accident I called to Mr.Feeney.He went down and helped to carry the injured man into the office.Deceased was conscious at that time.It was a running beam on the roof.There was about ten or twelve hundred weight of coal frozen against the side of the building.\u2018There was no snowor weight of any kind on the roof.Thomas Feeney testified\u2014I am in the employ of A.W.Morris & Bros., corsage manufacturers.1 am the manager.Connors, the deceased, was working under me.At the time of the accident he had been picking down frozen coal to carry into the boiler house.After Connors had been working a while I went to see how he was getting along, and found the beam projecting where he was picking.I warned him to be careful, but he said there was no danger yet.Then started out to get a piece of board to push the beam down, but had hardly crossed the yard when some one called that I was wanted in the boiler room, Connors had béen hurt.To the best of my opinion it was the beam that struck him.This beam formed a portion of a slanting roof over the coal, and was originally some four feet above it.It bad settled from the weight of the snow, and rested on the coal itself.The coal, of the kind known as slack, was frozen into a solid.The piece that fell weighed, I should judge, about 500 pounds.Connors had been warned to get the beam down before he went at the coal.My instructions to the firemen were to have the roof taken down before they touched the coal.There was just the one piece of coalin the shed and that was stuck to the wall with the beam resting on it.Thomas Dunphy, laborer, in the same employ, testified: At the time of the accident was engaged inside shipping plaster when I heard moans outside.unning out saw Connors in Manager Feeney\u2019s arms.Did not see the beam strike him, but saw the coal and beam lying on the ground alongside him.Patrick Ryan, fireman, deposed: Told Connors on the morning of the accident not to touch the coal until he saw the manager and had the beam thrown off.But he paid no attention.There would have been no danger had be done what I told him.Dr.McClure testified : I found one rib and one leg broken, but no injury to any internal organ to account for the death.lam therefore of the opinion that he .RIGS sysiaum.The following was the result of the an-| eupied the chair.\u2018quence.The jury returned a verdict of \u201caccidental death, not otherwise, imputing blame to nobody.\u201d DE ACTION FOR SLANDER.The Case ef Stevehson vs.Ronald.Lieut.-Col.Stevenson \u2018the chairman of the Fire Committee has taken out an action for \u2018slander against Mr.Ronald, manufacturer of steam fire engines, who was unsuccessful in selling one of his machines to the city when the new Merryweather was purchased last year.Tt is asserted, in the petition, that Mr.'f Ronald has gone about the city alleging that the chairman of the Fire Committee had his hands \u201cgreased\u201d orto use the old familiar term, received \u2018\u201cboodle,\u201d thus putting him (Ronald) out in the cold.The case will be heard to-day in the first division of the Superior Court, either before Mr Justices Matthieu or Jette.gg ee W.C.T.A.The Monthly Meeting Yesterday.The usual monthly meeting of the Women\u2019s Christian Temperance Association was held yesterday afternoon at the Evangelistic Hall, on St.Catherine street.Miss Dougall, the president, oc- A large number of ladies were present, also the invited guests, the \u201cHamilton Temperance Revivalists,\u201d Messrs.Iredale, Smith and Rev.W.Langdon.The minutes of the last meeting were read and the usual routine gone through, including the monthly report, which showed that ten new members and one life member (Mrs.Featherstone) had been elected.The meeting opened with devotional exercises, after which the revivalists sang several very choice temperance songs.Strong addresses were then delivered by Mes rs.Smith and Langford and Mrs.Featherstone on temperance, A hymn was then sung and the meeting adjourned.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE ART GALLERY.Spring Exhibitien of Paintings.Yesterday the Hanging Committee of our Art Associgtion completed its onerously nice task, and representatives of the city press were permitted a view of the spring exhibition of 1888.Another occasion will be taken, after a less superficial examination than was possible yesterday, to notice at length the works hung.A first look round induces pleasant conviction that the hanging has been most judiciously done, and the artists and their friends should be as fully satisfied as the \u201cgeneral public.\u201d In numbers the present exhibition compares favorably with any of its forerunners, and in quality of art, the first hurried examination warrants the declaration that it is entirely satisfactory.There are some seventy examples in oils and about the same number of water color drawings, while the most ancient\u2014 and withal most modern\u2014form of artistic expression, decorative design, has not been altogether ignored.This evening the exhibition is formally opened by a member\u2019s night.- CHURCH SOCIAL.An Enjoyable Evening at St.Paul\u2019s.The annual social of the congregation of Si.Paul\u2019s Church was held in the lecture hall last evening, which was completely filled.Rev.Mr.Barclay presided.A very enjoyable programme was contributed to by Miss Crompton, Miss Me- Pherson, Messrs.Verner and Bellhouse.Mr.Baker rendered the flute solos, while the singing of the Harmony Male Quartette was warmly applauded.Sir Donald Smith, Mr.Alexander Mitchell and Mr.John L.Morris proposed a vete of thanks to the ladies and gentlemen who had assisted in providing such an excellent programme, besides arranging the refreshments in such good style and decorating the hall so elaborately.All the staff of professors and students of the Presbyterian College having been invited, Principal MacVicar made a speech upon the importance and prosperity of the congregation, and returned thanks on behalf of those who had been so cordially invited.That gentleman also referred in congratulatory terms to Rev.Mr.Barclay, who, he was glad to state, had decided to remain amongst them, which was a matter of great satisfaction to him (the Principal).He was sure the fact was welcome news fo the congregation.\u2014\u2014 THE FALL OF NEW FüAANCE \u20141755-1760 A new werk of more than passing interest and historical value has just been issued under the above title.The author, Mr.Gerald E.Hart, is president of the Society for Historical Studies, Montreal.This gentleman is quite qualified to write on the subject he has chosen, as he has been for many years past noted as a deep and devout student of Canadian antiquities and archeology, and one of the most prominent members of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of this city, and was mainly instrumental in, if he did not originate, the successful event, of the Caxton Exhibition held ia this city in 1877, From a library, voluminous in its lore of Canadian subjects, the author has garnered much that has been overlooked in that important epoch when Canada exchanged the lily flag of the Bourhons for the Cross of St.George, and French rule was succeeded by English.The work opens with a short sketch of America at the begining of the 17th century, stating the causes which gave rise to the war by which Canada was lost to the French.The Acadian question is liberally dealt with, and much that is new in the way of authorities is here presented, elaborate and exhaustive data and correspondence being given to prove the expulsion of the Acadians was an absolute necessity on the part of England, and that no other alternative existed.An important item and precedent is here presented for the first time in a remarkable medal, given infac-simile, which was issued by the.French Government to commemorate a similar expulsion executed by them against the English at St.\u2018Christopher in 1666.The capture of Louisbourg in 1758 is most graphically described, attention being also drawn to the battles of Os- wego, Carillon, Ticonderoga, Braddock\u2019s Fields, etc, the culminating point being the battle on the Plains of Abraham on ~ September 13, 1759, when both England and France lost each a valiant and noble son in Wolfe and Montcalm, and Canada passed under\u2019 Anglo-Saxon rulers.The volume contains 200 pages and 22 illustrations\u2014of which 14 are portraits, Here, for the first tie, many can see the faces of the first governors of Que- bee and Montreal, Generals James Murray and Thomas Gage, as well as tire two waviors Wolfe and Montealm\u2014the the original family portrait in Paris, and now for the first time, it is said, reproduced.Montcalm\u2019s right hand,the gallant Levis and his A.D.C.DeBourgainville, are both excellent looking portraits ; as also, Winslow, Saunders, Monckton, Townsend, Palliser and Amherst; and form a rare gallery of portraits of the chief actors in these stirring Canadian events.; A letter of Wolfe in juc-simile, is very interesting, as are the views of Quebec and Montreal, in 1760.This interesting book can be commended to every lover of Canadian history, and Mr.Hart is to be congratulated on his creditable production.W.Drysdale & Co., Montreal ; R.W.Douglas & Co., Toronto ;

business in Montreal and the members of the City Council had come to a tacit agreement, to call upon the Chief of the Fire Vepart- ment to hand in his resignation and accept a good though less onerous -posi- tion.In the Star, (which of course is not sensational) of Saturday, the following appears: \u2014 \u201cWith reference to a sensational item that appeared in a contemporary esterday morning to the effect that the underwriters of Montreal and the members of the Fire Committee had agreed to request Mr.Patton to resign, and that he would be offered a sition as assistant building inspector, Mr.adrill, secretary of the underwriters association, denies the statement so far as the underwriters are concerned.He says: We have done nothing since the fire investigation, nor is it likely we shall.The matter is in the hands of the citizens.Building Inspector Lacroix states the paragraph in question is untrue so faras Mr.Fatton being appointed his assistant.Chief Patton says he has received no Intimation of his resignation being called for.If, however, the council like to give him another situation and a competent salary he should not object.\u201d ; Notwithstanding the above contradiction, the HERALD is in a position to state, on the best authority, that the original article in reference to Chief Patton was true in every particular.Not a word was said in the article in question against Mr.Patton; he was credited with doing his best, and that he was deserving of some other position, on the score of long and faithful service.What Mr.Hadrill did say to the representative of our contemporary was that the matter had not come up at any meeting of the Underwriters\u2019 Association, of which he is the secretary.The HEeraLp again reiterates the statement that the chief will be called upon to resign, and that it is only a matter of a few weeks when a new man will be at the head of the Fire Department of Montreal \u2014___ PROTESTANT INSANE HOSPITAL.A Delegation Interviews the Premiew\u2014 Further Government Aid Promised to the New Institution\u2014Tenders to be at Once Called For.The delegation appointed at the last meeting of the governors of the proposed Protestant Insane Hospital, composed of Bishop Bond, F.Wolferstan Thomas, G.Hague, Henry Lyman, J.K.Ward and Alfred Perry, waited by appointment on the Hon.Premier Mercier, yesterday morning, in reference to the immediate construction of the Protestant Insane Hospital.The deputation was received by the Premier in the most courteous manner.Bishop Bond explained that the deputation waited on him to place the actual position of affairs before him, 80 as to ask the further aid of the Government.His Lordship stated there had been subscribed $71,000 ; of this ar ount there had been paid in $40,000.The institution would cost, before it would be equal to the requirements, $130,000 ; before the governors would be justified in going further, they had resolved that $50,000 should be paid into the bank, and $90,000 subscribed.The Protestant population of the province, outside of Montreal, was largely scattered, and little further assistance could be counted on.The deputation and the ins:i.ution had heen under much obligation to Mr.Mercier for what the Government had done hitherto in granting them agift of $10,000 and a promised loan of $15,000, but they would ask a further aid of a free grant of the $15,000 instead ofitsloan at 5 per cent interest.It was remarked by Mr.Thomas and the other members of .the deputation, that the institution was in reality a Provincial one.The governors were in reality doing that which all the other provinces did, as well as every State of the United States and Great Britain, provide and care for the insane, but peculiarly situated as the Protestant population wasin Quebec, it -was a difficult matter to deal with, therefore the governors of the institution came to the aid of the Government and would in like manner ask the co-operation of Mr.Mercier's Gov: ernment, , Hon.Mr.Mercier said he would do all in his power to do and he felt his associates in the Government would also.He was aware that the Leduc farm had been promised to be handed over by the Government for that object.It had been valued some time previous at $10,000, that being the sum the Government had paid in cash.Since then it bad been sold for some $18,500.He thought it would be only fair and proper that that amount should be given over to the Protestant hospital and a further loan if required.The deputation accepted Mr.Mercier\u2019s proposal and thanked him, not only for it, but for the kind expression of sympathy.Messrs.F.Wolferstan Thomas, manager Molsons Bank, 8.Hague, manager Merchants Bank, the deputation, have, it may be stated, received much encouragement from Hon.Mr.Mercier.The building committee have been called to make a final report as to the alteration, if any, after Messrs.Kennedy and Hopkins\u2019 inspections of several asylums in the United States.The grounds and equipment committee are instructed to go on with having the grounds laid out.The executive committee of management will be called for Wednesday to authorize the board to call for tenders immediately as the plans have Leen finally approved of.We are pleased to learn that entire new life has been given to this movement since the late meeting, and that since this has been done, subscriptions have been promised so soon as the buildings are in progress of construction, and that a large number of the existing members have signified their

before the courts for several years, was decided on Saturday by the Hon.Mr.Justice Mathieu.The plaintiffs, Messrs.Stanton and Ba'ch, were the original contractors for the construction of the Canada Atlantic Railway Company, but having failed to commence work more than two years after the signing of the contract, and the company seeing that they werey unable to carry it out, cancelled this contract and made new arrangements with Mr.D.C.Linsley for the building of their road.Later on Messrs.Stanton and Balch took an action against the company, claiming over one million of dob ars damages, and accompanied this action by a writ of injunction to restrain the issue and the negotiation of the bonds of the company amounting to three mil-' lions and a half.The injunction was in part quashed by the Superior Court, and finally quashed and dissolved by the Court of Appeals, which judgment was confirmed by the Supreme Court.Mr.Justice Mathieu has dismissed this action of damages claiming over one million of dollars, on the ground that the plaintiffs had not fulfilled their contracts and were unable to carry them out, and that the company was justifiable in cancelling the same.Messrs.Chapleau, Nicolls, Hall & Brown represented Messrs.Stanton and Balch, and Joseph Duhamel, Esd., Q.C., of Messrs.Duhamel, Rainville & Marceau, represented the Canada Atlantic Railway Company.THANKFUL.Some time ago being very greatly troubled with colds and coughing, I went to the drug store and got Hagyard\u2019s Pectoral Balsam.In a short time I was well.I have found it a sure
