that was the oc- .Casion upon which I cast my first vote as a Canadian citizen, casting it in favor of \u201ctbe Dunkin Act, and in favor of no li- \u201cCense.1 think it was in 1885 that we sv.bstituted the Scott Act for the Dunkin Act.I wish to guard myself against any Tefiection upon Judge Dunkin, who represented our County of Brome so brilliantly.Judge Dunkin was the nioncer is Whe local option movement in Caua.lad might say in thé world, because Canada The Punkin Act was a good aet, an act which had a good end in view, and which attained that end to a large extent, but after an experience of a number of years, and after tue financial difficulties which had arisen in the enforcement of the Dunkin Act, a new act was able to be framed, and that act was framed by the Hon.R.W.Scott, now one of my colleagues in the Cloveru- ment of Ottawa, we substituted the Scott Act for the Dunkin Act.\u201cIt was a hot campaign that of 18%, Lul we were victorious.In 1893 an attempt was made in the County of Brome to vepeal the Scott Aet.The temperance people of Brome entered the camraicn with energy and pluck and confidence, and the result justified their confidence are now brought face to face with another opportunity of exerting ourselves in favor of a local option law, and, believiny as I do, most emphatically, from study, cbser- vation and experience, that a lic«nse svs- tem would be an evil, I feel it is my duty t> do all I can to maintain the Scott Act in the County of Brome for the heneft of ths people of Brome, and the protection of the young people, and also, and per Laps even more so, as an example to the people of the rest of Canada.wha arc ncw looking to the County of Brome for an example in temperance legislation.There are a number ct things I think \u2018cs well for us to dwell upon and think ahout.It is the opening meeting of our campaizr, The date of voting has been fixed for June 20th, and we have now three or four weeks of work before us.I am glad to know that in this contest there is no political question at issue, men who are divided as far as the poles on other public questions can join hands and aid one another in this contest.If the county of Brome has been free from licenses for twenty-five vears, it is because the people have sunk all other differences of opinion and worked together on this question.One | thing more in a general way, about the campaign, whatever may be the differences of opinion about the question at issue, there need be no bitterness.Those vio think licenses should be granted have a right to that opinion.If we think it would be better that there shonld be no Ji- censes, we have a right to our opinion.\u201d \u201cLet us consider the question without animus, without vituperation, and without bitterness, and let us endeavor to make our own arguments prevail by all legitimate means, let us always remember there is fair room for differences of opinion, and that men who disagree with us are not necessarily bad, nor necessarily our enemies.1 believe that those who are in fuvor of licenses are absolutely wrong, that they are egregiously mistaken from a political, economical and social point of view, 1 believe them wrong because 1 think they are running a danger themselves and are placing betore the young people of this | country a danger which it is not necessary that they should run, and a great danger.1 wish, therefore, that those people could come to my way of thinking, but at the same time, if they think differently, if they believe that licenses are good things, I | shall cast no reproach upon them.Let us lean with the campaign and carry it on on a fair, square argument on the evils ol the liquor traffic, This leads me to another point.The people of Canada are a [.ee people, as self-governing people, the majority rules if the majority wants some- \u2018thing it must have it, but we must accept the laws of the country, and iive up to them, when we have decided upon our laws, we must respect them, therefore, in the framing of those laws we must try to secure that the majority of the people shall be on the side of what we believe right and best, a law which is not endorsed by the people of the country, cannot he enforced and cannot succeed, and an attempt to enforce it will bring that law into disrespect and disrepute.We cannot do everything by law, the simple \u2018passing of a law does not create a condition of affairs, the passage of a law is simply the indication of the condition of public opinion, and if we are going to have | Pp Judge, Brome Corners; We the Struggle a Hot One, is not sufficient in itself.It can only accomplish the good which is aimed at by reason of the support and symyathy of the people who have passed the law of the people amongst whom the law is to be enforced, and this sympathy can only be brought about by constant agitation and constant suasion and constant work.I think the greatest danger against the Scott Act in Brome is that the peopie have so long lived without license that they do not realize what licenses would mean if issued in the county.Before the Dunkin Act drunkenness and rowdyism were rampant in different parts of the county.That was changed completely by the abolition of the license system.I do not think the people of Brome will take the retrograde step of repealing the Scott Act.Some people say the Act will be repealed, but I do not believe it.There are one or two other things that T wish to speak of a little.\u201cI am not going to portray to vou the evils of intoxication.'I'here has been a great change in the hahits and opinions of society in the last fifty years, and it Is no longer a mere joke for a gentleman to be seen at night in an intoxicated condition.When I first went to Ottawa fourteen or fifteen years ago, I was told that 1 could not get along at all unless I drank as the others did.1 found this quite false.My objections to intoxicants were respected by my fellow members, many of whom expressed to me the wish that they, too, were total abstainers.In tome families moving in the best Ottawa rociety the use of wine or other alcoholic beverages has long been discontinued, and in their houses no intoxicant is ever seen.[ said, we in Canada have taken the lead in local option.1 might add that of all the \u2018Anglo-Saxon communities, we drink the smallest quantity of liquor per head.There are other races which use much less liquor than the Anglo-Saxons.There are some races of people who never touch liquor.They are races despised by us as barbarians, yet they are our superiors in this respect.Still, among the Anglo-Saxons, we Canadians stand first as the ;»co- ple who drink the least liquor per head.This must not be taken ts heart by us as n subject of pride.let us be thankful for it; let us remember it; let it be to us a guiding star in our efforts to go on and do better.Negligence Means Deieat.\u201cIf the Scott Act is lost in the present campaign, it may be because the people of Brome have been thinking themse'res a little better than others and have not exerted themselves as tkey should have done.Negligence and indifference will mean defeat.Organization is no authority.Unless there is systematic canvassing the vote will not come out.Therefore it behooves the friends of the Scott Act to get actively to work.Those who seek the repeal oË the Scott Act will bring out every vote they can.The next point is that to organize properly you will have to hold meetings.Every temperance meeting held in the couniv bears some little good.Let us have meetings all over the county until the electors are impressed with an idea of the position of affairs.evils of intemperance.Organize the young people.Let them canvass their seniors and urge them to save them from the evils and the dangers of a licensed liquor traflic.\u201cOne other phase.Brome County has been called the banner temperance county.I do not think any blow would be suffered by the temperance cause in Canada i licenses.1 say this advisedly, because, oce cupying the position I do, I have it constantly impressed upcn me when I am spoken of and when my county is spoken of.Most people say, 'Oh, yes, that 1s the temperance county.\u201d Where local option lias been longest in force, there the temperance sentiment is strongest.I suppose in the Maritime Provinces there is far the strongest temperance seutiment.The Island of Prince Edward 1s Scott Act, with the sole exception of Chariotte- town.The temperance sentiment on that island is the strongest in the Dominion of Canada.Nova Scotia is two-thirds Scott Act, and then again the temperance sentiment is strong in New Brunswick, where there ave many Scott\u2019 Act counties, and temperance sentiment is strong and growing.When you come to the province où Quebec, where Richmond and Brome are the only no license counties, large portions of the province hardly understand what prohibition means.\u201cIn Ontario the general sentiment is | not nearly so strong as in the Maritime | Provinces.What does this mean ?It | means that where the people of a pro- | vince have been able to enjoy and to | perceive the advantages of having no li- 'censes in their midst, their temperance principles have been strengthened and increased by reason of the experience they have had of prohibition.That 1s one of the strongest arzuments in favor of prohibition, that where it has most been in force the temperance principles of the people are the strongest.If we allow the Scott Act to be defeated it will mean that the Scett Act has been found unsatisfactory.The Scott Act may not be perfect, no law is, but at the same time I believe that on the whole the results of tbe Scott Act in Brome County have been eminently to _the advantage, morally and physically, of the people of Brome County.Had we prohibition all around us we would have a greater benefit than we have to-day.Still we have been immeasurably benefited by the existence of the Scott Act, and if we went back to licenses I believe the people of Brome would regret it\u2019 and rue it in a ; Way they can scarcely now appreciate.If the Scott Act is once repealed it will be difficult to have it re-enacted.DBe- lieving as I do, the evil of license, I cannot but express myself in the strong way in which 1 am now speaking.1 do it with the full responsibility, not only as a citizen and as a voter, but I do at also in the full responsibility of my pub- fic position, prepared to answer any comment to which my words may give rise.Many no doubt will differ with me.I ! do not quarrel with them, but I am just \"as satisfied that I am right from my experience, from my studies, from my opportunities in public life, and from my observations in my travels.I am just i as satisfied I am right as I stand before this audience to-day.(Applause.) The hymn \u201cOnward, Christian Sl- \"diers,\u201d was sung by all present, and the Rev.Dr.Tucker submitted a provisional scheme of meetings in every part of the j county up to the eve of the voting.| Short addresses were delivered by the !

but in the evening Her Majesty\u2019s Theatre was packed to | the doors, Every seat was taken, people stood and sat in the aisles, and at the back of every Hoor people were standing three and four

not a matter of surprise.JMlontrealers know what encores mean to Sousa\u2019s band\u2014they mean Sousa\u2019s marches\u2014and they were what the audience went to hear.Sousa himself was always very

26\u2014(Special.)-The law officials at the Parliament buildings were very reticent this morning when questioned regarding the extradition of Roach, tlie alleged confederate of Pare and Holden, who

GRIEVANCES ARE SETTLED \u2014 The Executive Committee of the Brotherhood of Trackmen have no changes io report in the situation between them and the Grand Trunk.They continue to receive gratifying assurances from all parts of the system, both by telegram and hy letter.Some of these communications are of a characteristic character and display a good deal of individuality on the part of the writers, but generally speaking a firm determination is evidenced to abide icyally by the committee in whatever course they may decide to pursue in tha future.Some of the local secretaries report that a few \u201cscab\u201d gangs who lad taken the places of the strikers have left work.\u2018I'he Executive Committee say thas the company have been, generally speaking, unsuccesstul in their efforts to

Counties Raii- way had been asked to help the Grand Trunk.This they refused, and more than that, being also underpaid, they thought the opportunity good to make a demand for higher wages.Upon its refusal about 160 men quit work.Grand Trunk Will Say Nothing.The Grand Trunk management absolutely decline to make any official statement with regard to the\u2019 position, further than that the track is being looked after satisfactorily.Steps are being taken to ensure the saiety of the public by the employment of special constables to guard the track., Grievances of Engineers.The dispute between the company and the engineers has not yet reached a head.The men are still formulating their grievances, but they have not yet presented them.lhe company do not anticipate that any serious difficulty will arise as regards this branch of the service which is very highly paid, and through the increased speed in running the men have better hours and higher remuneration for the actual time they work than they have tad in the past.\u2019 The news has been received that the Jo- comotive engineers on the middle divis'on will strike unless the grievances which have been laid before the authorities are quickly settled.Their complaint is that on account of the trackmen\u2019s strike the necessary inspection of the lines cannot be carried out.Therefore, there are dangers of accident from broken rails, etc., which do not rust when the full force is working.rH MURE LUMPY JAW Two Affected Cattle Discovered in a Cargo Intended for Europe \u2014 The Animals Slaughtered.Dr.McFachren, D.O.S., and

County Railroad Proposal Was Discussed\u2014Big Grist of News Notes.an (Staff Correspondence of The Herald.) Ottawa, May 26.\u2014The Drummond County Railway proposal was again subjected to a critical examination in the House of Cerimons, when the absolute hollowness of Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s blustering denunciation was still further illustrated.Mr.Forden, of Halifax, and Mr.Powell, of Vrestmoreland, had a flinz at Hon.Mr.Plair\u2019s bill, but their assault showed that tue Opposition stores contained nothing new in the way of ammunition, and that the Conservatives can hope for no better results from the fusilade from the smail arms than from the loud-sounding discharge of the artillery of their leaders.Mr.Melsaac, of Antigonish, made a valuable contribution to the argument upon the issue under consideration.In a c.ear, forcible speech marked by sober common-sense, he showed that the debate had practically resolved itself into a quest:on as to the justification of the terms of tie bargain that the Government had rede, the advisability of extendinz the I.C.R.into Montreal having been admitted, and the selection of the route, which kaa been endorsed by Mr.Pope, M.P., and Mr.Wainwright, being self-evident to any- cne who would study the map.Turning to a consideration of the only pint still open to argument, Mr.McIsaac shuwed that, according to the estimate of Mr.Collingwood Schrieber, deputy-Minis- ter of Railways, the cost of the road, including $100,000 for improvements, was $1,- \u20ac35.000.Forty-three miles of the road were now above I.C.R.standard, but stil} Mr.Schrieber\u2019s estimate was above the amcunt asked for by the Minister of Rail- Wars, Mr.MeLeod, an enzineer in whom both parties for twenty vears had had confidence, had estimated the cost at $17,- 0CY a mile for 43 1-2 miles, and $16,000 a mile for the other 90 1-2 miles; or a total ci $2,356,500.As to actual cost of the read, Mr.Greenshields\u2019 estimate had been from $2,100,000 to $2,250,000.Mr.Far- well, Mr.Greenshields\u2019 Conservative partner, had estimated the cost at $2,500,000.Mr.Newton, secretary of the company, bad estimated the cost at %2,000.000 exclusive of the $100,000 for improvements.Mr.Mclsaac next took up the question frem the point of view of the earning pcwers of the road, taking the wind out of Mr.Borden\u2019s sails by showing how un- foir that gentleman had been in basing a calculation wpon the earninzs of only one- half of the road, and in not pointing out fiat the I.C.R.had never paid expenses- a\u201d all excepting in one or two years.Continuing, he made an important step by placing side by side the terms ofthe proposa! of two years ago and the present oe, showing that it was very question- ble whether the country had gained by the delay occasioned by the Senate.Pe- fore it had been a question of a ninety- nine vears\u2019 least, with an annual rental of $64,000, which included the discharze of the capital debt as well and the purchase outright at $1,600,000, upon which inter- vst would have to be paid and the debt itself dealt with in the end.It was a matter of calculation for the people to work out for themselves as to whether or not the country had gained by the course tallen by the Senate.The Conservative Dilemma.Dr.Russell, of Halifax, gave an admirable concise review of the Drummond County Railway situation.There were three questions to be considered: Was it advisable to extend the Intercolonial\u2019 Railway into Montreal; was the route selected by the Government the best route that could be selected, and had the Government made a good bargain in taking over the road?\"The first proposition was no longer a matter of debate.A glance at the map showed that the route selected was the best and most natural one that cculd be selected.Even the ingenuity of the Opposition could not prove that one side of a triangle was greater than the other two.Practically the question re- sclved itself into one as to whether or not the Government's bargain was a good one.If comparison with railway transactions of the previous government were the only standard, there was,no ground for further question, for not a single instance could be pointed out where the Conservatives liad done so well for the country at such a lew figure.The Conservatives thought there was a flavor of corruption about the purthase of a convenient and absolutely necessary line of railway at $12,000 per mile.\u2018They had forgotten what might be inferred regarding the Conserative purchase of railways at $17,600, $26,- 700, $33,000 and $136,000 per mile.In the face of their own record it was amar.ing effrontery (to use an expression of Nir Charles Tupper\u2019s) on the part of the Conservatives to suggest corruplion in the case: of the arrangements proposed by Hon.Mr.Blair, by which a piece of goad road, having an important bearing upon the efficiency of the LC.R.system, was being secured at $12,000 per mile.It would seem that the dictum of the school hoy that \u201call Gaul is divided into three parts\u201d was unfounded.There was evidence that \u201cgall\u201d had never been divided, but that it had been appropriated in its entirety by the leader of the Opposition, who would refer to the terms of the Drum- mond County Railway proposal as \u201cawaz- ing effrontery\u201d and as \u2018the essential element of corruption itself.\u201d Leaving ihe comparison of the proposal with the Conservative transactions with railways, vr.Russell justified the purchase of the Drummond County Railway, by comparison with the purchases made bv the Grand Trunk and other railways.Having pointed out that estimates were as a rule considerably under the actual cost, he was proceeding to discuss the purchase in view of the estimates made by competent engineers, when the House rose.If Sir Charles Tupper is in his place today it is probable that Hon.John Costi- gan will take advantage of the opportunity to explain to the House the reasons why he severed his connection with the Conservative party.Hom.J.I.Tarte, who was in his piace yesterday for the first time since his recent severe illness, was the recipient of many congratulations.For Nova Scotia\u2019s Apples.In the House of Commons yesterday Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere introduced his bill entitled an act to amend \"The Weights and Measures Act.\u201d As has already been explained in The Herald, the hill is designed to regulate the measurements of the barrels used in the apple trade in Nova Scotia.Sir Henri referred to the fact that a number of bills respecting weights and measures were being brought torward by other members of the House, and he suggested that when they had reccived their second rcading, all of them should be con- sidered together in committee of the whole House.Coteau Landing Dredging.Hon.J.I.Tarte laid on the table a return in reply to a motion by Mr.Bergeron asking for the correspondence in connection with the award of the contract io \u2018Thomas Gauthier, of Montreal, by the Department of \u2019ublic Works, for the dredging at Coteau Landing.The statement showed that the work was urgently demanded to meet a rush of tratiic, that the contract price accepted by Mr, Gauthier was $S per hour of work, that the estimated cost of the work was $21,000, that the total amount expended for dredging at Coteau Landing in 1897-98 and 1895-99 was $17,303.62, and that the number of cubic yards dredged was 129,850.Isle Aux Noix Lease.Hen.Dr.Borden presented a return regarding the lease of the Isle aux Noix property.The statement showed that the property was leased to Peter Smith, of St.Armand, P.Q., irom May 1st, 1890, at a rental of 830 per annum, the rent having been paid up until April 30th, 1897; that rrom May lst, 1897, until Apri 30th, 1899, Isle aux Noix was in military | charge; and that on May 1st, 1899, it had been leased to the Richelieu River Navigation Company, Limited, for ten years at $150 per annum.What the Alert Cost.Mr.Blair laid on the table a statement showing that the amount paid to Mr.S.Rubidge, superintendent engineer, St.Lawrence district, including the Cornwall canai, was $6,000, this amount including two years\u2019 salary at $3,000, from January lst, 1897, to Jan.lst, 1809.For horse hire, including cab or hack hire for the same period, the amount was $887.23.The total expense incurred in connection with the steamer Alert for the same period was $6,820.16, of which $3,081.76 was incurred in 1897 apd $3,738.40 in 1898.The_Alert was in commission in 1897 from April -26th to December 1st, and in 1898 from April üth to December 7th.St.Methode Wharf Shed.\" In reply to an order of the House, moved for by Mr.Casgrain, HF n.Mr.Tarte laid on the table the correspondence relating to the construction of sheds on the wharfs at Si.Methode and Mistassini, and to the awarding of the contract for the said buildings to L.P.Bilodeau, of Roberval.There were two letters, one from L.P.Bilodeau, under date of April 3rd, 1898, offering to construct the shed at Mistassini wharf for $150; and the other from .f.C.Blais, under date of April 7th, stating that a shed has heen constructed at Mistassini, and that the work ut Fekouake would be commenced in a few days.Senators at Work Again.The Senate held a brief session last evening, when the following bills from the Commons were read a seond time, and re- feired to committee :\u2014 Acts respecting the Cobourg, Northumberland and Pacific Raiiway Co., to incorporate the Arthabas- ca Railway Co., respecting the Lindsay, l\u2018obcaygeon and Pontypool Railway Co., respecting the Home Life Association of Canada, to confer on the Commissioner of Patents certain powers for the relief of Ceorge L.Williams, respecting the Columbia and Western Railway Co., and respecting the Quebec Steamship Co.The motion for the second reading of the hill to ricorporate the Chemin de Fer de Colo- N'zation du Nord was allowed to stand at the request of Hon.David Mills, as it did not contain the statement that the work was for the general benefit of Canada.Senator Vidal, on the second reading of the bill to amend the Criminal Code (Mr.Charlton\u2019s bill), said he understood that there was a second bill of the same nature, and it would be more convenient to Giscuss them together.The motion was aliowed to stand.A number of bills from the Commons were received and read a first time.~The only bill upon the order paper was that of Senator Dandurand respecting usary for a second reading.It was not printed, however, and was allowed to stand over.Senator Primrose Suspicious.Senator Primrose moved for a return of all letters and documents written to the Minister or any official connected with the l\u2019epartment of the Interior or to any mem- Ler of the Government by H.H.Nor- wood, the person appointed by the Government to the position of gold Inspector in the Yukon.Speaking to his motion Senator Primrose said that since coming into the Chamber he had been told that it Was not usual for the Government to pro- (lice original documents, but only certi- fled copies.He, therefore, wished the coples to be verbatim copies as regards diction and spelling.° Hon.David Mills said the copies must be accurate, therefore the word verbatim Was not necessary.Such a motion had wever been made before.Sir Mackenzie Bowell pointed out that unless the diction and spelling were given as in the originals the purpose of the trct:on would fail.Hon.David Mills re.rlied that unless the copies were aceur- ate, the Minister in whose charge they were would act dishonestly.The words diction, spelling and verbatim were added to the motion, and it was agreed to.St.James Street Widening, Ottawa, May 26.\u2014In the Su rem yesterday the appeal was taken up Cours case of Ethier vs.Ewing, which involves the recusation of one of the commissioners for the widening of St.James street Montreal.À motion was made to quash the appeal for want of jurisdiction.After hearing the arguments of counsel on both sides, judgments was rendered quashing the appeal on the grounds That it was not a final judgment nor one of the class ap- pealable to the Supreme Court.Atwater QC, and Ethier, Q.C., Tor the motion Lemieux contra.) The appeal in Birks vs.Lewis was then heard.The dispute arises over the seizure of the plumbazo mining properties and factory buildings of the insolvent estate of W.H.Walker.at Buckingham, Que, made by the sheriff of the District of Ot tawa, under a writ of execution issued by the respondent, a judgment creditor, after the insolvent had assigned his estate for the benefit of his creditors.The sale of the property was opposed by the curator of the estate, but his opposition was dismissed by Judge Lavergne in the Superior Ceurt, District of Ottawa, on the ground that the assignment was incomplete and void, and that in any case the judgment creditor was not prevented by the asign- ment from exercising his right of seizing and selling the insolvent\u2019s lands under execution.The appeal is from the judgment of the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench at * \"Pros (Continued on Page 4.) / -_ 2 THE HERALD, MONTREAL, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1899.OT THE FAULT OF THE CHANNEL The Evidence Establishes That the Gallia\u2019s Grounding Was Due to Carelessness \u2014 THE SPEED WAS TOO HIGH.freemen The Officers of the Boat Feared An Accident and Had Warned the Pilotes WILL VISIT GALLIA TO-MORROW.[EY All the evidence in the Gallia enguiry case was heard yesterday.There appears to be a desire among some of the members of the board to go still further into the case, but it is thought that after the commissioners have inspected the Gallia, which they will do to-morrow, judgment will be given at an early date.I ne entire board was present at both the morning and afternoon sittings, In the morning the officers of the Gallia were submitted to a close cross-examina- tion.Capt, Stewart's story of the affair is as follows: When he found that her cwn engines could not get her off, he got a steamer that was anchored near to take him to Sorel, from whence he telegraphed the Allans to send tugs and lighters at once.These arrived the same night, and the cargo was taken off.The tugs pulled away at the ship until 3 o'clock in the morning, but could make no impression.Captain Barclay then left to get more tugs, and \u2018n the meantime a barge took off about 204 tons of coal; but it had no effect.In the turning the Gallia\u2019s helm refuse] to go over any more than fifty-five degrees.The only way he could account for that was the steering gear had not vie power to pull the vessel over with the amount of steam she had on.Mr.Torrance\u2014Then you think, captain, she went on there because she was going too fast?Witness\u2014Yes.Mr.Allan\u2014The pilot, in his report, states that the stecring gear got jammed.Witness\u2014No; not jammed; that is what the man at the wheel called it.It wou! go as far as fifty-five degrees, and not any further.Mr.Torrance\u2014You cautioned the pilot?Witness\u2014I[ cautioned him at Quebec, and he told me he had seen last year\u2019s jlo: and knew all about her.Mr.Thomson\u2014Have you ever had any experience of the man on the bridge finding out that the rudder was jammed before?Witness\u2014No; it has never refused to go over before In reply to further questions by members of the board, witness stated that there was uv pilot on board when the ves- scl crossed cver from Levis to Ouobee, before starting for Montreal, and no dith culty was experienced with ine steering gear.Last year they got \u201ca ois of a bito, ?coming round Varennes or Vercheres.Nhe would not take the bend, but she wus atloat all the time.The water was low at the time; they were going slow, awl there was a strong gale ou the port bow.The vessel did not answer the starboard helm quite as quickly as the port.lic had cautioned the pilot and told him that she was a little slow in turning bends, especially upon the starboard helm.All Agree As To Speed.Mr.Bickerdike\u2014Would it not be the duty of yourself or oflicers to see that the vessel was not going too fast?Witness\u2014No; that is tae pilot's jeb; he knows what speed a ship ought to go at.Mr.Thomson-\u2014\\bout what speed were you running at\u201d \\Vitness-About thirtceen and a knots.The Mayor\u2014What is her full speed?Wiiness\u2014About fifteen knots.We averaged the passage out at twelve knots, and prt of the time she was stopped, on account of fog, oif Cape Race.Mr.Stephen Gibbons, extra second officer of the Gallia, deposed that he was on the bridge with the pilot, who, when they had passed the buoy, told the quartermaster to starboard the helm, but it only starboarded twenty degrees.When the vessel was slowing down, however, lt statboarded five degrees more.Mr.Torrance\u2014\\Vhat is about her not answering the helm?Wiy would not the helin go over\u201d Witness\u2014l think the ship was going at too great a specd.Mr.Torrance\u2014Your opinion.is that if she had been running slower, she would not have been there?Witness\u2014Yes, sir.Mr.Torrance\u2014You are quite satisfied on that point?\\Vitness\u2014 Yes.Mr.Bickerdike\u2014When you knew she was going too .fast, why didn\u2019t you have her slowed down\u201d | Witness\u2014Ll suggested that to the püot, and it was done.Mr.Bickerdike\u2014How long before the accident did you suggest to the pilot tae steamer was going too fast?Witness\u2014lt all happened in two and a half minutes.Ar.Bickerdike\u2014It must have been immediately before the accident, then?Witness\u2014Yes.My, Bickerdike\u2014Don\u2019t it strike you as peculiar the ship should be going thirteen and a half knots coming up the river?Witness\u2014lL felt uneasy about it, and that was one reason why I sent for the captain.By Mr.Carter\u2014The vessel's helm was very much submerged, but the moment the way was off the ship, the helm came 12lit over.Ky Mr.Torrance\u2014When the quartermaster found that the wheel would not answer he said that he could not get any mere on the wheel; he did not, to witness\u2019 knowledze, say that it was jammed.Mr.William Bewley, chief engineer of the Gallia, stated that he had gone to luncheon when he heard the telegraph bell ring.He at once went and examined the enzine, but could not find anything wrong.I'e then went on the bridge, and took held of tive wheel, which was very hard t, starboard.He found nothing wrong with it, and he told the quartermaster and the officer so.The quartemnaster then took hold of it again, and put the rudder over to starboard again.The ship was arround at the time.For about a minute and a half the engines were going full ~peed astern.From the time that the telegraph first rang until the vessel stopped was only about two minutes.\u201d The president\u2014\u201cLExcept for the speed at which the ship was going, is it possible such a jam as the pilot reports could have bappened ?\u201d ; VVitness\u2014\u201cT don\u2019t see how such a thing was possible.\u201d The Afternoon Session.halk On reassembling at 2.30 p.m.the pilot Zephirin Bouille, took the stand.He laid the cause of the grounding to the jamming af the wheel.The quartermaster had told him that he could not get it hard-a-star- board because it was jammed.He him- &olf had not examined it, however.Te- coming alarmed, he at once signalled to élacken speed.He admitted that the captain told him the ship would not steer your opinion He thought, however, that this applied to dangerous places.He considered the place ct tne accident to be a safe one, and so far as he knew no one ever slowed in pass- 1ng it.To corroborate this, witness read a statement signed by sixteen pilots to the effect that the Sorel passage was not considered dangerous for steamships of great speed.An Error oË Judgment.By Mr.Allan\u2014Only one of those who had signed the document had ever piloted the Gallia, and that was Ulric Groleau.Mr.Torrance\u20141t you were bringing up the Gallia to-morrow, what would you do there \u201d Witness\u2014 \"Knowing her as I do now, 1 would not let her go fast at all.\u201d Mr.Torrance\u2014\u2018 Then this was simply an error of judgment on your part?\u2019 Witness\u2014\"L- was so sure, having been going up and down there so long.I considered myself as safe in that part of the river as anywhere else.\u201d i» Mr.Hodgson\u2014\u2018\u2019The capiain gave you information as to how the ship acted, and told you in coming to a short curve to run her slow?\u201d Witness\u2014 But this is not a short eurve By Mr.Racine\u2014\u2018He was steering by the land beacons.\u201d After the ship had grounded, and before witness left her, he ascertained that, when not running fast, she would auswer the helm freely.Mr.Thomson\u2014\u201cTherefore, if the gear was jammed, it would be with nothing Lut the action of the water on the rudder?\u201d Witness\u2014\u201cI don\u2019t see anything to account for it.\u201d Mr.Geofirion\u2014\u201cAre you convinced, from the experience you have had, thav if you had slowed the speed the accident would not have happened?\u201d Witness\u2014\u201cI cannot say what would not have happened.\u201d The President\u2014\" \u201cDo you think the ae- cident would have been avoided if you had slowed ?\u201d\u2019 Witness\u2014\u201cBefore I knew the ship, I felt perfectly safe in going at full speed.\u201d _ The Mayor\u2014\"\"Did you ever hear of steering gear being rendered unreliable through à piece of cotton waste getting into it?\u201d Witnesse\u2014\u201cOh, yes; I saw that last year.\u201d The Mayor\u2014\u2018Might not that have happened in this case?\u201d Witness\u2014\u201cI don\u2019t know what it was, but suppose that some part oË the engine didn\u2019t work well.\u201d By Mr.Carter\u2014The previous pilot of the Gallia, to whom he had .spoken, told him that she was a little harder on the starboard helm than on the port, and that when about the bend at Sorel, she would have to be slowed.By Mr.Bickerdike\u2014It was customary to go through the place at full speed.In reply to the president, Capt.Stewart stated that in case of compulsory pilotage, his responsibility ceased when the pilot went aboard.Mr.Bickerdike\u2014\u201cIf not pilotage, how then?\u201d Capt.Stewart\u2014\u201cThe pilot would only be taken as a local help.\u201d Mr.Bickerdike (to the president);\u2014 \u201cIs ours compulsory or not?\u201d | The President\u2014\u2018It is eompulsory as far as the Gallia goes.In some cases it is not compulsory.\u201d My, Bickerdike\u2014'\u2018I maintain it is only compulsory in paying the pilotage fees;

At a meeting of the Roads Committee of the City Council, held yesterday aîter- noon, it was decided that Chairman Brunet and City Surveyor St.George take a trip to the large cities of America for the purpose of examining the different kinds of street car fenders used in those places.Incidentally it was also decided to ask the City Council to defray the ox pense of the trip, which is, of course, proper, since the city is compelled to make an investigation into the subject.We believe, however, that the trouble vf investigating into the best inventiuns which have been devised for the comfort and protection of the public in connez- tion with street railways, was a task which properly belonged to the company which has secured the use of the streets end which pockets the profits resuliing from the ownership of the franchise.The task of finding a better fender thaa the one now in use in Montrea: snouta be neither difficult nor costly, as Mr.M=- Donald would have the public believe.Immediately after quoting him in yesterday's issue of The Herald there was published a despatch from The Herald's correspondent at Ottawa, which must have impressed upon all disinterested minds that in thas nearly-by city, with which communications are both frequent, varied and cheap, there is in common use a fender unquestionably superior to the clumsy contrivance with which Montreal cars are adorned.That fender is not an experiment.It has now been in general use for three years.About four thousand of them are now distributed throughout some three scores of the cities on this continent, and the manufacturers refer freely to the officials of every company which has adopt- cd them.Under such circumstances, it is rather surprising to hear Mr.MeDon- ald declare, as he did to a Herald reporter, that the Montreal Street Railway Company did not have any design of improved fenders.The cuts published in these columns are proof that such designs ave easily obtainable and Mr.McDonald's statement is, to say the least, extraordinary, if, as he says, the company has been very diligent in its search after perfection.The matter, it would seem, is of znf- ficient importance to arouse a keener interest, even in that very enigmaticai thing, the soul of a corporation.The danger attendant upon the operation of a fast tramway service on the congested thoroughfares is not to be underrated.The rick in crossing the tracks of trol- Outline of Fender in Use in Ottawa, ley cars is forcibly described in the statement of facts at the head of this column.It is a part of the motorman\u2019s duty to lock out for threatened accidents, and, as a rule, motormen show great coolness and ekill in avoiding them; if they did not, accidents would be much more numerous \u2018than they are.It is, however, frequently a physical impossibility to stop a car in time, and a mechanical device for removing endangered persons, especially children and old or intoxicated persons, from street car tracks, has become a necessity which the number of accidents makes evident.No fender can accomplish\u201d its purpose if it does not touch the ground at the time its use is required, and for that purpose it must be moveable.Next, it must be flexible.A fender which knocks a per- gon insensible as surely as any battle-axe cculd is ttle improvement upon the wheels that crush.The wheels, again, should be protected from the sides, as well as the front.Practical experience has demonstrated that all these points can be secured, and neglect of any one of them is nothing short of criminal.We.bave before us a list of trolley accidents in \u2018American cities, whiclr shows that there, as well as here, they are of frequent occurrence, but we also note that by the oy NEW YORK

Teams Played Ten Innings Yesterday and the Score Was 7 to 6.mma REGULAR GARRISON FINISH.HERE was more fun out at the ball grounds yesterday than could be obtained anywhere outside of a strawberry social, It was not until the tenth innings that the champions pulled off the contest, and George Rannon brought in the winning run.There were two men on bases, and when he landed on the leather there was a crash.Able authorities say it sounded like a Gazette editorial falling from a two-storey window.| Anyway it was a dull sickening thud, and Henry crossed the platter with the geventh run and the game.Our friend Mr.O\u2019Loughlin was there, and was anywhere from a mils to a mile and a half out on about ten decisions.In fact, to be really frank about it, we might have been tacking up crape instead of warbling a joyous song of vie- tory had it not been for .his timely assistance.Whether or not Mr.O'Loughlin is addicted to peanuts is hard to say, but certain it is that his cogitations yesterday were very much on the diagonal.And were Tom Brown, Mr.Dolan, \u2018Frankie Shannon and little Danny Brou- thers mad at O'Loughlin ?h The answer simply is that if they had a Their Own Sweet Way Mr.O'Loughlin would have been carried off in the \u201churry-up wagon,\u201d as little Willie, our office boy, calls it.Of course, the crowd did not raise very loud protest when they saw umpire atoning for his sins of the day before by trying to square himself, but on one or two occasions they couldn\u2019t restrain a few yelps when things didn\u2019t exactly come as they wanted them.Schiebeck unloaded a volume of eloquence on a decision, and was fined $5.As \u201cShy\u201d talked about a column of reading matter, or approximately 1.000 words, this was at ithe rate of half a cent\u201d a word.Mr.O'Loughlin only took back tal from Springfield, and it came his way in cyclonic gusts.any the ~~ ey O'Loughlin has \u2018oined the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Umpires.\u201c Dan Brouthers had his incomparable watcher-givin\u201d-us\u201d lock with him, and apart from his base running it was one of the features of the entertainment.It will be interesting, no doubt, to record the fact that Dan failed to steal any more bases yesterday, notwithstand- Ing the fact that the crowd gave him all the necessary encouragement.Dan has already stolen two bases on Montreal this season-\u2014both performances having been Elaborately Reported, and if he had accomplished it again nothing would remain for us but to fly the ennant at half mast and retire from Usiness, Abbey has had a game arm all vear but decided that the tine had come when he would have to go in and wallop somebody and carn his salary and bouquets from the crowd.So he pitched yesterday, and the official scorer tells us that Springfield had twelve safe swats.And there was no joy in the crowd while these same swats \u2018were going out, as things at one time were looking pretty dizzy.\u201d The initial shock the crowd rot was when Campbell smashed the ball into centre field and tore around the bases like an express trdin.Three bases\u201d said Campbell turned third for the plate they saw it was a home.à \u201c hy got the ball from the field, but idn\u2019& put it to Jacklitz straight enough Things looked pleasing for the champions in the same innings\u2014the second- for Johnston and Grandpa whacked the ball for singles, and the former purloin- cd a sack.Johnston ~ the fans, but as and made a break was the only one to score, however.as the remaining eluggers perished in the attempt.The end of the fourth found the score two to two, and then what did the champions do but waltz in and chall: up four Little Frankie Shannon, who was new known to smile except at his own joes, | Made Things Rosy for us by making a juicy error.Manager Tom Brown's gio ic beard half a mile away, S sigh could Le , And this started the whole si for Jackhtz hammered the ban ness hammered it, and Myers fell all over it.As 1 said before, just four runs was ithe result of the trouble, and the crowd nre- sented Springfield with a merry laugh.But the seventh innings found the crowd taking it all back.The harrowing details are not necessary, but suffice it to say that Abbey made a yellow throw to Grandpa, Campbell and Hemming made hits, and Dan Brouthers Jumbered down to second on a hit on his own account.When we awoke from the daze the score , was tied, and there was only one thing to do\u2014go in and win.Springfield was putting up a fight for their lives, and in the ninth played both Montreal and the umpire.Dolan, the first man up, bunted the ball and made a sprint for the sack.\u201cOut,\u201d said O\u2019Loughlm; \u2018\u201cbatterzup.\u201d Pittinger was on the coaching lines, and looked as if he had Received a Telegram telling him ke had just dropped a billion dollars in a wheat deal.\u201cWhat is this man?\u201d he asked the umpire.\u201cOut,\u201d said O\u2019Loughlin.Then l\u2019ittinger talked, Brown talked, Uclan talked and \u2018everybody looked.Oh! those looks! An umpire is the only thing in the world that would have been proof against them._ They would have burnt holes in a 13- inch Harveyized plate.But when O\u2019Loughlin says out, he means out, and he deserves credit for his firmness and the way he handles the Kickers.He may be wrong, but he can\u2019t be blutffed.So this took the sand out of Springfield and Montreal entered upon the tenth innings with determination sticking out all over them.The consequence was, Springfield heard something drop.The Toronto team is here to-day, and the fans have sworn a solemn oath that they will commit themselves to the broad St.Lawrence if Dooley \u2018doesn\u2019t harpoon the whole series.Springfield., AB.R.1B.P.O.A.E.Shannon, ss.\u2026.5 1 2 3 3 3 Dolan, If.4 0 1 2 0 0 Brown, ef.4 0 1 3 0 0

decided victory for the latter.The score stood at the close, Sherbrooke 10, Chan- rocks 1.Carlow scored the first game ior Shamrocks, but after this the Montrealers played purely a defence game.Lhe play of both teams was very creditable tot the spring of the season.There was a large attendance, and the Sherbrooke semivrs consider the result of the day a happy augury for their match in Quebec on Saturday.The teams were composed as_ follows: Shamnrocks\u2014Powers, goal; Dillon, point; Jerret, cover-point; Nelly, Lynch, Aulty, defence field; Coyle, centre; llogg, Neville, Boyle, home field;

practice last evening, and judging from the attendance, and the calibre of lacrosse put up by the boys, the committee will have no cineh in selecting the team to cross sticks with the Cornwalls, and Foint Amateur Athletic Lacrosse Club.The showing made by the Cornwall Lacrosse Club in their mateh with the Shamrocks on Queen\u2019s Birthday have made the committee rather careful in expressing their views as to who should represent the club, and after a warm discussion at the meeting held after the practice, it was decided to leave the picking of the team until Saturday afternoon.THE WHEEL.TOM ECK IN TOWN.Tom Eck arrived here yesterday morning from Toronto, with a string of bicycle racing men.The party included Angus Mcleod, the champion of Canada; Alfred Boake, of Toronto; Davy

then turning south to 8t.Johns, arriving there about 1 p.m., where an excellent dinner waited them, and needless to say, the boys did justice to it.After secing the sights, the club turned toward Montreal, riding along the canal tow path.At Chambly a stop was made to inspect the old fort.The boys then went to the hotel where music and singing was indulged in, and wound up their concert Lv heartily singing the National Anthem.Supper was served at St.Hubert, and the boys returu- eed to the city with a G0-mile trip to their credit Several good photos vere taken, and will serve added to

SPORTING NEWS.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Asbury Park, NJ., May 25.\u2014Jeffries smiled with calm indifference when he vead in the newspapers to-day that \u2018Lanky Bob\u201d was getting down to a featherweight.\u201cIf Fitz trains down to 156 or 158, us he is credited with saying that he would do, be will have a great time whipping me,\u201d said \u201cJim,\u201d who is evidently well pleased to believe that the blacksmith is losing weight at breakneck speed.In the minds of the Loch Arbor group Fitz will not train down to any such weight nor wid he get away from Jeffries without fecling the weight of his heavy fists.Jétfries cannot understand why Fitz should be so confident of eluding his blows.As Jim Daly quaintly expressed it, \u201cthe boy has knocked out several promising heavyweights who had previously landed on Fitz with perfect freedom.If Fitz really believes he will suffer this immunity it 1s a pleasing delusion, but a dangerous one.\u201d \u2018I'nose who have seen dJefiries box recently are of a different mind.They are willing to bank on a body blow or tlw», and say with emphasis that Fitz will [eal the impact when Jeffries\u2019 fist, left or right, flies in the right direction.It is not generally known that Jeffries leads pri marily with his left.Mis manipulation of that member is a study in itself.It is always ready, and nine times out of ten where least expected.So deft is the Californian at left-handed punches that Tommy Ryan is often confused and seriously put out in his defence.Jeffries\u2019 eyes opened with wonder tonight at Tom O\u2019Konrke's alleged advance in the purse line.\u201cWhy does he exclude me from that $30,000 offer?\u2019 he asked.\u201cl am willing to fight Sharkey and have tried iny best bo get him on, but he won't bite.However, 1 want but one fight «ut a lune, if you please.\u201d With which remark the boilermaker closed the subject.The afternoon\u2019s glove work was very interesting.Jeffries fought six rounds with Ryan and proved his claim to decidsa cleverness.the big fellow's detence wus masterly and elicited warm words of praise from the young middleweight.To-morrow afternoon will be given up to handball.Fitz is Boxing Hard.Everything progressed \u2018smoothly in \u2018he Fitzsimmons training quarters yesterday, and the big fellow was all smiles and action from sun until sundown.Yank Kennedy was the principal man pitted against him, and the Ohioan has reason to believe that Fitz can whip any- {hing that ever appeared in human form.The champion will do more boxing from now until the time of the fight than he Las in the past.Correspondingly, he will ease vp cn gymnasium and road work.Fight Boxes Sold For $21,000.Every box fer the Fitzsimmons-Jeifries fight was sold yesterday.\"The sale

Tnrned Out to See the Races.Tcronto, May 25.\u2014The remarkable interest in the current running meeting of the Ontario Jockey Club still continues.To-day the attendance was splendid, considering that it was the day after a big holiday.Never before have so many ladies turned out to the races in To- vonto, and the prospects for a brilliant season at Hamilton, Bel-Air and Fort Erie pre very Lright indeed.lExceptionaily fine weather has graced the Woodbine meeting, and the track and field have consequently been in grand condition.But two {favorites won to-day.Long shots captured the first and second races, an well-played second choices the third and fourth.The Toronto contingent were down to a man ou Franz Martin\u2019s Rideau in the opening event, but South Africa, Tyrian and Rey Salazar were well played by out- giders.A few \u2018\u201cpikers\u201d took a flyer on Mr.Dawes\u2019 Red Monk and burnt up thelr mouey, as he ran badly all the journey.The race looked like a gift for Tyrian for the greater part of the journey, but Rideau and South Africa came very fast in the stretch and took command at the last furlong pole.The Toronto-owned gelding had all the speed of the party, and crossed the wire three lengths to the good.Trainer John Nixon was con- cratulated on all sides on the victory.Messrs.Carruthers and Shields, the Canadian horsemen.landed the second race with Waterwick, a big brown gelding by \\Vatercress-\u2014Sister Warwick.Although Waterwick had done scme very fast work in his trials, his owners did not fancy nim and let him 30 a-begging in the books at 7 to 1.Mr.W.F.Maclean\u2019s Basle surprised everybody by running second, beating La Vitesse, a southern filly, by a head for the place.Waterwick won all the way, leading from start to finish, and pulling up in the stretch.Owensboro, the hot favorite, was in the ruck.\"The Maple Leaf Stakes for three-vear- old fillies bred and owned in Canada went to Mr.Wm.Hendrie, of Hamilton, whose success this spring has bcen very pronounced.Mr.Hendrie decided to start two fillies, Toddy Ladle and Play Fun, in the race, but the latter ran away while warming up, crashing into the fence near the stables in \u201cThe Pines,\u201d dislodging her jockey and Tnjuring one of her legs.She was brought to the saddling paddock and the judges allowed Mr.Hendrie to withdraw her from the race, and bets to stand.For some unaccountable reason the public made the Seagram pair, Terralta and Curfew Bell, favorites, but Toddy Ladle had no difficulty in coming away when ready and winning with ease.Toddy Tadle is a very slugeish beast, and Jockey Mason had to whip her most of the journey.The Seagram entries ran second and third.Miss Josephine Sheppard\u2019s Buffoonery was prominent for about balf the distance, when she died away to nothing.ere were several exciting incidents i the Tally-Ho Steeplechase.CA the fret jump King Kenn fell and turned a somersault over Jockey Worthington.The rider placidly remounted and finished the race.Jockey Pierce fell off Last Fellow on the flat on the lake side, and was given a warning by the judges, who seemed to think that it was less of an accident than l\u2019erce tried to make out.Mr.Dawes\u2019 Red Pat and King Kenn raced for last position.and Jockey Buleroft, who rode the Irishman.was severely reprithanded for whipping his mount unnccessarily in the stretch.His excuse was that he thought he was racing for third money.Messrs.Colin Campbell and W.Hendrie, jrs, Jim Lisle, was the pace-maker in the race.Partner outstayed him and won bandily by three lengths.Mr.Dyment\u2019s Brother Bob was a poor third.All the entries were well played.Mrs.Jess Bratton was the only United States owner to win during the day.Her three-year-old filly, Lady Bratton, won easily from a field of nine in the fifth race on the card.Sister Alice was second and Sallie Lamar third.Mr.Dawes\u2019 Sleepy Belle started, but was outrun all the way.Messrs.Carruthers and Shields scored again in the sixth race with Guilder.He picked up 120 pounds and beat his field full of running.Maritana JI.looked to nave the race at her mercy, but she tired badly near the end, and Passaic, who came like a bullet through the bunch, nearly deprived her of second place.The summary is as follows: First Race.Queen City Purse, $400; 6 furlongs\u2014 Frank

and Her Father Only Found Her When She Was Dead.Derby, Conn., May 26.\u2014Miss Philomena Ponto, who was educated at the convent at St.Hyacinthe, near Montreal, died here tc-day under strange circumstances.John A.Fellows found a young woman in Lhe woods on his farm last Wednesday morning.She would not tell who she was or where she was going, but said she had walked from New Haven the day before, ard, being faint and tired, had sought shelter in the woods for the night.She was removed to Mr.Fellows\u2019 house, and a physician who was called said sle had consumption and would die.Yesterday morning she said she was Miss Philn- mena Bontot, of Bristol, Conn, but that she had lived away from home most of the t.me since graduating from St.Hyacinthe's convent, at Montreal, three years azo.After telling this much the girl relapsed into unconsciousness and two hours later died.Health Officer Louis D.La Bonte, of this city, went to Bristol vesterday and informed Miss Bontot\u2019s father, who is a prominent resident of that place, of his daughter's death.Mr.Bontot was greatly shocked.Ie said he had not heard from his daughter for nearly two Years.While she was in the convent her wother died, and he married again, but he =uid her stepmother had treated her kindly and that she was as welcome at home as ever.Mr.Bontot accompanied Dr.La Ponte back to this city last night, nd to-day took the remains cof his dauzv*e: to New Hartford for burial in the family plat.Miss Bontot had many admirare in Br:stol, and was noted for her beauty and accomplishments.Her life for the last twa years has been a mystery.Philomena Bontot was educr*=1.attractive and twenty-two vewrs old, She was a daughter of Alexander Bontat, a ear- riage maker, a respected and substantial citizen, who lives in a fine house at No.35 North street, Bristol, Conn.After Fhilomena left home she wrote to her father cccasiomally.Mr.Pon!ot says she was taken ill in Wallingford ten days ago with gastritis in a boarding licase, und went to Derby.\u2014 We Invite (Critics to call in and inspect our stock of material for making suits and overcoats.We ave satisfied of the result.The

fuel has done so mach towards economizing housekeeping expenses that it is being adopted by rich and poor alike.All the horrors of unbearable kitchens in the warm summer months has heen done away with

\u2014\u2014 SAVED BY THE GUIDES.Bishop Moret and Five Clergymen Had a Trying Ordeal on the Mountains Banff, N.W.T., May 24.\u2014Bishop Moret and five French clergymen, bound from Hong Kong to Rome, who sought to break their journey across the Continent, after landing at Vancouver a few days ago, by spending a couple of days in the Canadian National Park at this point, were rescue] this morning from a perilous position in a mountain crevice.Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock they started, without guides, to make the ascent of Sulphur Mountain and lost their way.To-day they owe their lives to the sagacity and experience of! Swiss guides, recently introduced by the authorities to look after the welfare of travellers and hunting parties visiting tha Canadian Rockies.The bishop and his: party were not missed from the hotel until 10 o'clock last night, and the Inat- | ter having been reported to the superin-: tendent, the latter directed the Alpina ! guides to at once make a search.Armed with lanterns and Alpenstocks, the guides departed on their mission.After a might of tedious tramping among the pines of the mountain side they were rewarded by hearing their echoing calls answered from a slight crevice in the rock, into which a false step had precipitated the party.Though the crevice was but twenty fees deep, the clergymen found themselves unable to gain the ledge from which they had slipped.Ropes were lowered by whe guides, and the rescue from the perilous position was quickly made.The previous afternoon and night had been spent in the crevice, nineteen hundred feet from the foot of the mountain, the height of which is 7,000 feet and clothed with a pine tor- est.Bishop Moret, who has traveiled much, declared that he and his party had almost abandoned all hope of rescue, yr Jamaicans Given a

of a halt in the upward tendency of stocks this morning, and Lhe market was exceedingly dull and un- Interesting, .Pacific, however, still holds steady, as it has done all along in the face of the most adverse circumstances governing o:her securities.The price in London to day was 101 3-8, and locally the trading was on the basis of 98 1-2 to Y8 3-4, the bulk of the stock sold going at the laster figure.The earnings of the road last week showed an increase, which, while not quite as large as expected, was satis factory and shows that things are going ahead in good shape.Nothing striking developed in Street Railway shaves to-day, and the range was 314 1-2 to 315 for the regular.Only 125 shares changed hands, and compared with the figures ruling yesterglay the stock can be considered fairly steady.Toronto Rails, on the other hand, were just a fraction better, but at the close sold at the level reached yesterday afternoon.There was a good deal of surprise manifested on the street to-day when it was found that Toronto Street had beaten Montreal on the Queen\u2019s Birthday earn ings.Montreal for that day showed $6, 818.30, or an increase of $2,807.61, while Toronto came out with $6,908.71, an m- crease of $3,402.36.The Toronto Railway earnings for three days were as follows: Earnings.Increase.Monday .$3,866 11 23 26 Tuesday .L.+000000 3,983 05 1,872 7 Wednesday crue +

barrel on straight rollers, and 80 per cent., which sold last week at $3.30 to $3.35, have been placed at $3.4 to $3.45 in car lots laid down here on track within the past few days.Ordinarv straight rollers, with only 5 per cent.low grade taken out of them, have sold at $3.30 to $3.35 on track here, which 1s 10e per barrel advance on former prices.Millers say that at $3.30 to $3.35, which are the prices they have been receiving tor 90 per cents.laid down here, tacy were losing money, and that they should get at least $3.50 in order to get a fair profit.Of course, western millers have oeen induced to turn out more flour than they otherwise would have done, owing to the high prices they have been getting for their offal, and this left some of tha of flour on hand.If the wheat crop turns sut as bad as some maintain, farmers may yet have the whip handle and get nore money for their wheat, which of pourse would mean improved value for 0 \u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE FRUIT SLES, Activity Now
