Woods Near His Home\u2014Looks Like a Murder.Sherbrooke, Sept.18.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The quiet little village of Martinville, some fourteen miles from here, is once more startled with rumors of a tragedy said to have been committed last Thursday, \u2018the victim of which is Joshua Martin.Martinville is the village brought into prominence last fall by the Stanhope shooting scrape.The particulars of Thursday's tragedy, as near as can be gathered this morning, are as follows: Joshua Martin, aged about 30.had recently come home from the States to visit his parents.Before his returning he was to marry a young lady of Sherbrooke, the sister-in-law of one of the leading merchants of this city.AT VILLAGE TURKEY SHOOT.He was at home Thursday morning and told his mother that he was going to the turkey shoot at the village, something over three miles away.Ie took part in the shoot and towards the latter part of the afternoon said that he would take the woods towards home in the hope of getting a partridge.It is said he was advised to.change his course to an opposite direction, where he would be more likely to scare up some game.Acting upon the advice of the speaker.he took the course mapped out, He did not reach home by 7 o'clock.The family watched patiently thil, at 10 o'clock.his mother grew uneasy 'and the family became generally alarmed\u201d Enquiries were made at the neighbors\u2019, \u2018nd as far as the village, but nothing could he learned of his whereabouts.It wa; thought he had strayed into the woods and got lost.This contention spread among the neighbors in the village, and Saturday morning a general search of the woods wagp begun.SUMMONED BY \u201cHE BELL.The village church bell rang, as it does to arouse the ccmmunity, awd in a short time hundreds had gathered around the church.Search was kept up till it grew dark Saturday night, and no trace of the missing man could be found.Double the force turned out Sunday morning, with more satisfactory results, \u2018Coward the middle of the afternoon they discovered his lifeless body lying on the ground some distance in the woods.His gun lay close by.The condition of the body showed that Martin had been the victim of foul play.The discovery was ai once communicated to the authorities in Sherbrooke, and this morning High Constable Moc and Mr.If Thompson, besides several local officers, went to Martinville to investigate the matter.INVESTIGATION BEGUN.There are a variety of rumors afloat concerning how Martin met his death, but the latest accounts show that suspicion points towards one individual whose demeanor stands out prominently and whose words and movements from the early part of the dav till the shooting match ended attracted attention.There has been, however, no arrest made up till noon to-day.What motive the murderer had is, of course, not known, and any contentions are only rumors and mere speculations.Emmnity it was not, for it is said Martin had no enemies: moreover, he was an inno- fensive, good-natured, well-meaning fellow and generally well liked.It was supposed that as he was to Le married to-IRorrow night ne naturally would have consiuerahle money on his person and that this is what led to his death, that it could he the only motive of any one to take his life.Martin is well known in Sherbrooke, having been for many years

Moe and two constables are on their way to Sherbrooke.Coroner Woodward has started for Martin- ville, where an inquest will be held this afternoon, TRIES FLYING MACHINES.Les Professor Graham Bell, the

SEPT.21.Federated Trades and Labor meets.and Council oe At 7.40 last evening the south-east corner of the Ogllvie or Queen's Theatre block, on St.Catherine Street, occupied by Messrs.W.H.Scroggie & Sons, completely collapsed and this morning nothing, but an Immense pile of debris occupies the place of the handsome structure which had almost been completed for the occupants by the Ogilvie estate which owns the entire block.The Queen's Theatre is uninjured, not even dust from the collapse, has made Its way into the auditorium, and standing therein It is hard to believe that the adjoining building has crumbled as tnough it were child's playhouse of cards.The ward ad oining is used because, as Senator Ogilvie puts it, the remaining Scroggie stores.the Queen's Theatre, and the stores to the west of the theatre entrance are separated from the corner building by a fier Wall.This wall shows no sign whatever of any damuge, and every portion of the block to the west of it is apparently as safe and sound as it has been during the thirty years which elapsed since Mr.John Foulds built it for sir Hugn Allan, The handsome reception or dance hall whteh was over a portion of Scroggie\u2019s corner store and ran back to the University Street entrance of the theatre is wrecked.It was, of course, east of the fire wall.The hall had but recently been put into condl- tion for dancing by Professor Norman, who was to have opened a school very shortly.STORY OF THE COLLAPSE.It bad been freely said that had the accident happened when the theatre was crowded or when the street was thronged by people as it is on week day nights, that the loss of life would have been enormous.This is not so.Full twenty minutes elapsed from the time the building gave uudobted evidence of its final collapse before it came tumbling into a heap with a crash that was heard many blocks away.: As early as five o'clock Watchman Reber- dey had an idea that something was wrong, and he says he went to Mr.Scroggie\u2019s house and told him so.Then he went back to work.At seven o\u2019clock passers-by became interested in scunds from the inside of the building, which at first were thought to have been made by burglars.Then, without any apparent cause, ihe big plate glass window at the corner crack: ed from top to bottom.Reberdy was at this time in the building, but he was becoming accustomed to strange sounds.A boy named Harry Vaillancourt had seeu the wittchman go in so he hastened to the front door of the scroggie store, and calling loua- ly to him, exclaimed that something was wrong and he had better come out.By the time Reberdey reached St.Catherine Street the nolse inside the store was becoming louder, and two minutes afterwards the crash came.It was a unique, a remarkable sight.Probably two thousand people had stopped as the rumors spread that something was wrong, Common seuse told theia to keep at a respectabie {listance, but there were few who really had an idea that the building was coming down.The crack, as though a diamond cut, the length of the window was followed by the glass, in both the University Street windows, cracking, springing out in pieces until the frames themselves fell from the masonry and a buge piece of stone toppled from the windows\u2019 cornice to the ground.Then a huge crack ran from the lower corner on Unl- versity Street clear across and up the building oo, the roof.Whatever power was at wor here seemed to be no the destruction.hurry about It came slowly and almost as though it were specially prepared for the delectation of the great crowd which grew larger every moment.But at last it came.Those who witnessed the collapse of the Craig Street wali of the Greenshields building can have an idea of the scene.There was one big difference, however.The Greenshields wall fell over and was all but intact until it reached the ground.The Scroggie wall bulged out near the centre, went in at the corner and fell a mighty heap of ruins such as Montreal has seldom seen before under similar cireuin- stances.No one was hurt.Onc gentleman said a piece of stone hit him on the finger, and a Indy was ill through the dust she swallowed.That was all.If the Queen\u2019s Theatre had been crowded with people anxious to know \u2018Why Smith left Home\u201d or \u2018What Happened to Jones,\u201d they could have been dismissed and out in the street in safety long before \u2018the house was brought down.\u201d SENATOR OGILVIE TALKS.Senator Ogilvie is the cator of the Ogilvie owns the entire block.When the Senator was seen he was quite indignant at the story which was published this morning, to the effect that the building had already been condemned.\u201cThe story ls false,\u201d he said.\u201cIt is stated that some years ago Mr.John James Brown and Mr.Hutchinson, the architects, made an examination of the building owing to a desire on the part of Mr.8.Carsley to purchase it, and that they declared that the building was unsafe.I say that statement is without any foundation whatever, and must be corrected.The only thing between Mr.Carsley and myself was the financial end.We could not agree upon that, but I say emphatically that there was never a word mentioned by the architects about the building not being safe.\u201d Senator Ogilvie was then asked: \u201cIs It not true that up to the time of the collapse you were working upon the building and excavating a cellar for Mr.Scroggie under protest?\u201d \u201cYes.I came to the conclusion that what Mr.Scroggie wanted would cost too much money, and for a time I stopped the work.\u2018He then served me with a protest against \u2018the stopping of the work, demanding that I proceed.I did so, but meanwhile served Mr.Scroggie with a counter protest to the effect that while I would recontinue the work, it would be under the sald protest.\u201cMy contractors were at work excavating the cellar when the accident happened, but I want you to say for me that there never was any question of the building being un- tafe, or that the changes might bring about an unsafe condition.\u201d \u201cWho is to blame for the collapse, and who will suffez financially?\u201d \u201cI am not in a position to say.Messrs, Hutchinson and Wood are the architects.Mr.J.H.Hutchingon is the contractor for the masonry and excavating.Messrs.Simpson and Peel had charge of the woodwork, iron, glazing, painting, etc.It is a very unfortunate affair, but the closest investi- cation will be made in order to find out who is to blame.It would neither be safe or fair to make any guess in this direction.\u201d THE ARCHITECTS\u2019 STATEMENT.acting estate exe- which Messrs, Hutchinson and Wood, the architects, gave the following statement for publication: \u201cRespecting the unfortunate accident to the building occupied by Mr.Scroggie in the Queen's Block, which collapsed on Sunday evening, it is impossible for the present to say what particular part of the foundation gave way.\u201cWorkmen were engaged in deepening the basement, and in d'ing so had to remove some of the old sunports of the floors and put ip new iron columns.Nearly all of this work had been successfully accomplished on Saturday.and only a few more had to be altered.Whether one of these old supports gave wav or whether the workmen encroached too far on the old foundations of the wall on University Street, remains to be seen.\u2018The collanse has not affected the remaining buildings occupied by Mr.Scroggie or the Queen's Theatre.\u201cThe building was not pronounced yn-

INSPECTOR\u2019'S OPYNION.Building Inspector Lacroix was se i Herald representative on his return I un inspection of the ruined building.Said be: \u20181 put the blame for the accident on the architect and contractor, although I kuow Mr, Hutchinson to be one of the best and most careful architects in the \u2018coun try.The building was all right if it had been let alone, but it was not in a condition to be altered in the way it was at the foundations.The soil on which the building stands Is the worst in the city fos building upon, ns it is a yielding elay.Ag J understand.the contractor was eXcarat- ing a basement to a low:r depth than tha ou which the foundations stand, and @ course they were undermined in doing so.There was a girder running across midway in the building, with one end in the side wall and an iron pillar itr the centre, A brick wall was built on thig girder, which carried the centre of the building.The ground around the pillar was dug out, and the girder shoved up, but I suppose the sup- poris slipped down in the soil, and the whole welght fell on the wall which carried the end of the girder.This was too thin for the weights.being only twenty inches thick, of Montreal limestone, with a bnek- ing of eight Inches of brickwork.There was no bond between the brick and stone, and the former probably bulged under tha weight and gave way, and then the whole thing fell in.I was never notified that anv work was being carried on there, as should have been done three days before it was commenced, and the first I knew about work being done was when I read the paper this morning.\u201d - Mr.Lacroix had the street cleared so ag to permit the passage of the street cars, which were running again at 1 o'clock.FIRE BRIGADE CALLED OUT.The Duilding had hardly fallen before someone rang a fire alarm and the men of the brigade did splendid work in keeping the thororp gre ARS a me SCENE AT CHRIST CHURCH.There Was a large congregation at Christ Church \u2018Cathedral, and it was much unset by the \u2018crasn.At first many thought that it was & portion of the buliding in which they sati that had fallen.First one got up and went out, then another, and then another, until fully two-thirds of the congregation were out in the church grounds, much interested in the unusual sight.AN AFTERNOON THREAT.Mr.Carroll, one of the clerks in Mr.John Lewis\u2019 drug store, on the opposite corner, says that he saw and heard signs of the coming collapse during the afternoon.He did not, of course, know what it really was that he heard and he paid little attention.He says that a street car had a narrow escape from being caught in the falling masonry.Onlookers warned the driver in time.The buildin and I presume thi about the loss, thrown out of THIRTY YEARS OLD.The Ogilvie block, as it is now called, is about thirty years old.It was built originally for Sir Hugh Allan, by Mr.John Foulds, who left Montreal twenty years ago.From the Allan estate it passed into the hands of the Messrs.Walker, who finally sold it to the Ogilvie estate.Mr.Samuel Carsley thought at one time of buying it, but could not come to terms with the owners.THE LOSSES\u2014NO INSURANCE.At present it looks much as though the loss would amount to $100,000.There is no insurance.Against fire and burglars owners of property can insure themselves, but in \u2018such a case as that of yesterday the owners or others held responsible must stand the loss.Senator Ogilvie says the building will take $40,000 or $50,000 to rebuild.Mr.Scroggie\u2019s loss is about $50.000.Professor Norman loses a few hundred dollars.Should the Queen\u2019s Theatre be closed on account of the accident, it is hard to say, what the estimated logs will be.\u2014prmnrnmnnmnnçmnt TO ASSIST JUDGE DUGA S& Government Decides to Appoint a Coadjutor Judge for the Yukon District in the Near future.Ottawa, Sept.18.\u2014(Speclal.)\u2014With a view to

streets\u2019 to Americans and Britons.Its correspondents refer to these incidents as indications that the people of both nations should avoid going to I'rfifice, especially to the Riviera region, and declare that the house agents there are in despair at the prospect of a bad season.LONDON DEMONSTRATION.London, Sept.17.\u2014Although the weather to-day was beautiful, the much-talked-oï demonstration in Hyde Park, London, against the verdict of the Rennes court- martial in condemning Capt.Dreyfus on the charge of treason, proved a spiritless affair.A few thousands collected around the seven platforms, but they were mainly boys, servant girls and idlers.Very féw Jews or foreigners were in evidence.The large force of police in attendance had nothing to do, as a demonstration could not possibly be more orderly.The speakers were in no way influential.Most of the interest centred around the 4.ra \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 a platform where Mr.Hastefield, a relative j of Dreyfus, delivered an adaress./ The speakers deprecated boycotting & whole nation \u2018for the sake of five judges, and a scoundrel.\u201d At the various platforms resolutions were adopted expressing sympathy with Mme.Dreyfus and abhorrence for the generals who figured at the trial, tendering congratulations to M.Zola, Fieut.Col.Plequart, MM.Labori,Demange and others, uppealing to France to release and rehabilitate Dreyfus before it should be too late.These were carried with the greatest enthusiasm.Various flags were displayed, including the Stars and Stripes and the Tri-Color of France.A French lady was removed, for continually crying \u201cVive l\u2019Armee,\u201d and a man was ejected for shouting \u2018vive Mer- enna TEENY IT.\u2014The official\u2019 Army Ga- pots anounced the removal frôin the Aus- tro-Hungarian attacheship in Paris and Brussels, of Col.F.Schneider, whose alleged letter incriminating Capt.Dreyfus, though distinctly repudiated by him as a forgery, was one of the principal weapons of the prosecution during the Rennes trial.Rome, Sept.17.\u2014The long-experted Papal encyclical addressed to Trance, which has just issued from the Vatican, ignores the

Hands of the Federal Government.Chicago, Sept.17.\u2014Central Music Hall, the scene of the Civic Federation of Trusts and Combinations, was packed from pit to gallery yesterday when W.J.Bryan de- Hvered his reply to W.Bourke Cochran on the trust question.Mr.Bryan spoke in part as follows: Within two yeurs inore trusts have becn organized than in the previous history of the United States, and the people now ccme face to face with this question: Is the trust a blessing or a curse?If a curse, wbat reniedy can be applied to the curse?.Monopoly in private hands is indefensible from any standpoint and intolerable.I do not divide moncpolies.There can be no goed monopoly in private hands until the Almighty sends us angels to preside over us.There may be a despot, who is better than another despot, but there is no good despotisut.I deny that under a monopoly the prices will be reduced.in the second place, if under.a monopoly the price is reduced, the objections to a monopoly from other standpoints far outweigh the financial advaptage that the trust would bring.But 1 protest against settling every question upon the dollar argument.I want to warn you \u2018that when the monopoly has absolute ccntrol, brains will be at a discount, We have not had yet a taste of a complete trust.Put, when the trust has rid itself of all competitors, what is going to be the result?My friends, all you have to know is human nature.God made man selfish.On the farm we used to protect property from the hogs by putting rings in their noses.Why?So that while they were getting fat they would not destroy more than they were worth.THE BLAME.One of the great purposes of government is to put rings In the noses of hogs.It I were going to try to find the root of the monopoly evil I would find it in the declaration that the love of money is the root of ali evil.We cannot destroy mon- CARBIDE FROM SAW-DUST < J 4 Experjfnental Stage, in a Measure Passed and Manufactured / on a Large Scale Will Soon be in Operation.7 Ot awa, Sept.18.\u2014(Special.)\u2014A week ago Thé Herald drew attention to the evidences of\u2019 the growing time to be seen in the ac- Hvity in the lumber business.This is but one evidence of the marked business confi dence in every department of industry In the Ottawa valley.For years the people of this district had been aware of the fact that they possessed a most valuable asset in the water powers located in and about Ottawa.Heretofore, however, the industrial outlook has not justified the business men who Lave studied the question in embarking on a large scale upon the task of exploiting these water powers for comuler- cial purposes.Within the past few months there have been many evidences of a general movement in this direction.Already at the Chaudiere, at the Deschenes Rapids and elsewhere operations have been com menced which should within a few years vastly strengthen the position of Ottawa as a manufacturing centre.CALCULATE THRE VALUEL.Little noise is being made about the matter, but already caleulations are being made upon the value of water powers within a radius of twenty-five miles of the city, and the fact that business men who have al ready many enterprises engaging their attention have thrown their thought and money into this channel is one of the strongest evidences one would want of the most implict confidence in the future of the Dominion whieh has made such gigantic strides within the past two or three years.MANUFACTURE OF CARBIDE.Attention has already been called in these columns to the experiments which have heen made by Ottawa capitalists in the matter of the manufaclure of carbide.Already the experimental step has been In a measure passed, and the Bronson carbide factory, an imposing stone structure at the Chaudiere, will soon De finished.Within the past fortnight the announcement has been made that at the next session of Par- rinment a number of capitalists will apply for incorporation to carry on the manufacture of carbide cn a large scale.One of the most progressive local lumbernien who has given much attention to the subject is positive that by the utilization of the refuse from the saw mills the cost of manufacture of carbide may be very materially reduced, the outlay for lighting In the city brought down.and several valuable by-products produced in the course of the pYocess.The details of the project are rapidly being arranged and the indications are that as the result of the progressive spirlt which has come with the business confidence of this growing time the importance of the capital 4s an industrial centre will Le greatly in creased in the near future.About a year ago there was scarcely a night but what some storekeeper was bemoaning loss of some kind or other, with the result that the police woke up somewhat, and as a result of their cfforts four boys are now resting in the reformatory.It looks as if there were a few more juveniles awaiting similar punishment.CRIPPLE FROM SCURVY, Hon.Gerald Petre Reaches Seattle From Klondike With One Side Entirely Paralyzed.Seattle, Sept.18.\u2014Hon.Gerald Petre, frst cousin of Lord Petre, of Essex, Fng., and

resulting from defendant's failure to comply with the terms of the lease.The defendant tendered $30 with his plea and prayed that for any further amount the action be dismissed with costs, Plaintiffs action was premature; defendant's tender is valid and sufficient; his plea is maintained in law, and, in fact, and plaintiff's action dismissed with costs.Common vs.MeCnaskill et al.\u2014Case settt- ed out of Court.Gagne vs.Goyer.\u2014This was an action for $100 for injurious expressions used by the defendant, accusing the plaintiff of fm- proper conduct.The Court maintained the action to the extent of £20, but without costs.tr WATSON\u2014WHEATLEY.Mr.J.H.Watson, of the Northern Insurance Company's staff.was married last Friday to Miss N.Wheatley, daughter of Mr.G.8, Wheatley.The ceremony

axe at the root of the tree and make monopoly impossi- bie by law.WHAT HE WOULD DO.Continuing, Mr.Bryan said: \u201cI am ready to adopt any method for the annihilation of trusts.One that 1 suggest is this: That Congress should pass a law providing that no corporation or organization in any stite shou'd do business outside of the state in which it Is organized until it receives from some power created by Congress a license authorizing ft to do business outside of its own state.Now, if the corporation must come to this hody created by Congress to secure permission to do business eutside the state.then this license can be granted upon conditions which will, in the first place, prevent the watering of stock; in fhe second place, prevent lwonopoly in any branch of business, and, third, provide for publicity as to all of the transactions and business of the corporation.\u201cIf this is unconstitutional and so de- ciared by the Supreme Court, I am in favor of an amendment to the constitution that will give to Congress power.to destroy every trust in the country.In my judgment, when you take from monopoly the power to issue watered stock, vou will 20 nore than half the way toward destroying monopoly in the United States.\u201d fires STEPHF N3 VS PREFONTAINE, su lgmentwill be given on Mr.Stephen\u2019s Motion on Monday, and « Day Then Set for Appeal 1f Necessary, The missing document having been restored to the record in the case of Prefon- taine and Stephens, Mr.C.H.Stephens, Q.C., presented his motion to dismiss the Mayor's appeal from Judge Mathieu's decision which rejected his technical objee- tions to the Hon.G.W.Stephens\u2019 action.Mr.C.H.Stephens pointed out to the DANGERS OF THE FRUIT SEASON.Many people suffer from Diarrhoea Dysentery and Cholera Morbus through eating decayed or unripe fruit.\u2014 aan The only remedy that can be relied on is Dr.Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.Every time the fruit season comes round it brings with it cramps and colic, diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera morbus.Not that good ,sound, ripe fruit is in itself dangerous, but it is difficult to prevent children eating green fruit or fruit that is partially decayed.Grown-up people, too, are sometimes indiscreet\u2014eat excessively of cucumbers, melons and the like.The result everybody knows.Fermentation and inflammation are started.Cramps and colic come on with their attendant suffering.Diarrhoea, dysentery or cholera morbus follow with their distress and danger.Now the best thing to be done is to give Dr.Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.It is the safest and most satisfactory remedy for either children or adults.Does not fail in the severest cases to give relief from the pain, allay the inflammation, settle the stomach, prevent collapsa and cure the bowel complaint.Mrs.Chas.Waldeck, Parkhill, Ont., says: \u201cI have used Dr.Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry among my children for the past ten years, and it has never failed to cure diarrhoea, cramps and pains in the stomach.BY ROYAL FOR OVER WITHOUT EXCEPTION JOHN BEGG'S \u201cLOCHNAGAR\u201d SCOTCH WHISKY.SOLELY Supplied to all the Royal Palaces since 1848 WARRANT 50 YEARS.THE

Year.\u201d Beginning Saturday.Sept.28.arr ET ETS WEA THE MONTREAL HERALD.I TETRIS Court that His Honor Mr.Justice Xall, in granting the Mayor the necessary leave to appeal, had admitted the principle that no appeal lay from docisions in cages respect: ing municipal.offices, but had based - his judgment granting leave to appeal on the fact that Hon.Mr.Stephens\u2019 action not only asked for the unseating and two years\u2019 disqualification of the Mayor, but also asked that he he ordered to refund the money the payment of which he was alleged to have illegally authorized.Mr.Stephens now desisted from this latter part of his action, so that the action now only asked for the unseating and disqualification of the Mayor.Therefore, Mr.Stephens argued, there being no appeal in purely municipal cases, the present appeal should be dismissed.Mr.Perron, of Prefontaine.Archer & Perron, with whom was Mr.Ethier, Q.C., replied, and the arguments which follewed were confined to questions of costs, times of service of desistment, and so on.The Court at length reserved judgnient which will probably be rendered on Monday morning, when, should Mr.Stephens\u2019 motion be rejected, a day wil be fixed for hearing arguments on the appeal.aa {HE BUILDS A ROLLER BOAT, Mr.Moon, of Ottawa, Plans a Novel Kind of Craft.~\u2019 It Will Contain Many Improvements on the Knapp Cylinder and Will be Launched in the Near Future.Ottawa, Sept, 18.\u2014If all goes well with the model, Mr.Francis Graham Moon, of the Post Office Department, will one of these days go trundling up and down the Ottawa Liver in a roller boat of his owu invention.Mr, Moon has long made a study of naval architecture, and Le followed the fortune of the Knapp cylinder with the interest of an enthuslust.He was not slow to detect the structural and mechanical defects of that craft, so he proceeded this summer to work out his theories of a revolving hull on altogether different lines.Âs a result, he has all bur perfected a roller boat which involves à distinet departure from any of the existing types.The model, which is 24 feet long and from 8 t¢ 10 feet In diameter, is being constructed in an Ottawa machine shop under Mr.Moon's supervision.The cyliu- der is of Iron and very neatly put together.It is expected the new roller will be ready for trial in a few weeks.freer AS LONDON SEHS IT.Press OpinionTin London à Unit in Read ing Behind the Reply the Boers Wish to Fight.London, Sept.18.\u2014The reply of the Transvaal Government te Mr.Chamberlain's latest note is said to cover nine pages.It is eminently of the \u201cnegative and inconclusive\u2019\u201d character.which Mr.Chamberlain declared would compel the Imperial Government to consider the situation afresh.It practically repudiates suzerainty, reverts to the seven years\u2019 franchise, and declines to give equality to the Dutch and English languages in the Volksraad.In short, it 1s politely negative and de- flant.The full text muy not be available for a day or two, but it will not change the aspect of affairs.The Cabinet will probably meet on Wednesday or Thursday to consider the next step.The Morning Post says: \u201cThe Boers mean to fight.\"That is the plain English of it.\u201d The Standard says: \u201cThe Transvaal note is unsatisfactory, and, indeed, a dangerous composition.It might be going too far to say that the last hope of peace has vanished or that diplomacy has said its final word, but it is idle to deny that the rulers of the Transvaal have brought their country very close to the brink of a disaster which the British Government has done Îts best to avert.\u201d The Daily Mall says: \u201cPresident Kruger's defiance has terminated a long period of unrest and uncertainty in South Africa, for whatever may be the issue of the present situation, one thing is certain\u2014that dualism in South Africa will end forever.\u201d The Daily Chronicle says: \u201cWe regret that the Boers by rejecting a fair offer made in fair language, have taken a line giving fresh point to the argument of their enemies, that President Kruger is a shifty and impracticable politician, fit only to be spoken to across a line of bayonets,\u201d These extracts fairly represent press opinion in London.All the papers characterize the attempt to represent Mr.Con- yngham Greene as suggesting the Transvaal's former proposals as mere shifting prevarication.PREWERS.J .H.R.a Molson & Bros.Ale and Porter Brewers.Have always on hand th various kinds of Le and Porter In Wood and Potties.1008 Families Regularly

HERALD, MONTREAL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18.1899.CONDEMN MAYOR Citizens Think His Act Regarding Policemen One of Intimidation.TRUTH SHOULD BE TOLD.The General Opinion is That Policemen Should be Assured in Advance of Full Protection.Opinions gathered by The Herald staff from citizens of all classes make it very plain that there is strong popular disapproval of the threats made Ly Mayor Pre- fontaine to prosecute any policeman who may en Wednesday next admit the use of money in sccuring their positions on the force.Oue says this kind of intimidation may be good cuough for Russia, but will not do for Montreal.Another characterizes the Mayor\u2019's act as scandalous.The president of the Club National mildly but firmly reproves the Mayor's mistaken action.Even those who say the Mayor has done right so far as he has gone, intimate that he has done wrong in not going further and ordering the prosecution of the men who take the bribes.A New York man, fresh from the Mazet enquiry, thinks Montreal is no better than his own city in these particulars, One man says it looks as though the Mayor was grinding somebody's axe.And they all join in con- dvinning his course of action.AN UNWISE MOVE.Mr.J.A.Drouin, president of the Club National:-\u2014-\u2018It would have been better to have allowed the men of the force to have made their sworn statement without any such announcement as that of the Mayor's.lt is sure to have the effect of preventing certain facts coming to light, and which would have been in the public interest.1 quite agree with His Honor that the perjurers, should there he any, should be punished.But why warn them, as they have Leen warned, In such a manner as to frighten them into not committing a crime, or rather into admitting that they rerjured themselves when they joined the lorce?That was when the crime was committed, and they are not likely, as things now stand, to make any such admission.\u201d TO BURK THE ENQUIRY.Mr.Norman T.Riel, of Riel & Bond: \u2014 \u201cIf a plan for burking enquiry Into the condition of the police force was required.that plan has been found and adopted.\"The Mayor was right in deciding that per- furers must be punished, but there are no announcements with hig headlines in the newspapers warning burglars that if they commit a crime they will be punished.it was time to make the punishment fit the crime when it was owned up to, Ivery- body is reading The Herald, which is doing grand work towards the cleaning of the civic machinery.\u201d IT IS SCANDALOTS.Mr.J.Friedman, wholesale clothler:\u2014 \u201cIt Is scandalous that just when the rottenness of a civic organization Is to be exposed a plug is put in which promises to upset the good work.Generally speaking, Mayor Prefontaine is a public spirited man, but this action will not tend to increase his popularity with the people who seek good government.\u201d Hon.L.O.Taillon:-*\u201cI don\u2019t know anything about it.\u201d WIIO IS FRIGHTENED?Mr.T.Tennyhoff, manufacturer: \u2014*I?Mayor Prefontaine wishes to kill the re- pect honest citizens have for him.he is going the right way to work.He is grinding somebody's axe, Depend upon it.if he had enly the eclty\u2019s welfare at heart he would not have blocked an investigation which promised to do more good than anything we have had in the way of civie reform for some time.Whe Is it that Is so frightened that he has got the Mayor to put up a rod to catch the lightning 7\u201d : THE CLUMSIEST TRICK.Mr.A.C.Merrick, Boston: \u2018I am an old Montrealer, and have been here for the last week.[I receive The Herald regularly at my home in the States.Your people are making a splendid fight for municipal reform.I remember, when I lived here six or seven years ago, we used to think that it was useless trying to do anything against the City Hall ring; but The Herald seems to have penetrated the boodlers\u2019 armor.They are evidently getting very much afraid.That trick of trying to frighten policemen with prosecution for perjury if they do not perjure themselves, is the clumsiest I have ever heard of, and does not do your mayor much credit.We used to think he was a very clever fellow.Everyone knows that the evidence of a less guilty accomplice in a erime is often necessary in order to attain the ends of justice and bring the crime home to the principal offender, and how can an accomplice be induced to testify if he is warned beforehand that if he tells the truth he will be punished for it.If the people of Montreal stand that, they will stand anything.\u201d COMPELLED TO GIVE FALSE EVIDENCE.Mr.F.C.Moore, New York: \u201cYou should como back with me to-night to New York, where we have good, clean, honest government.Seriously, bad as we are supposea to be down there, I do not think we would stand all you Montrealers put up with.The Herald seems to be letting a little light in on municipal transactions, and I hope it will continue to illumine the ways that are shady.You cannot do much, though, if witnesses are to be compelled to give false evidence at inquiries.\u201d A SECOND CRIME NOT WANTED.Mr.J.Duncan\u2014\"Anything that stands in the way of a searching Investigation should be removed.If any of these men has per- jnred himself at the time of his joining the force, he should not now he told that he must commit a second crime in order to escape the consequences of the first, for that is what the Mayor's threat secms to me to amount to.\" SHOULD BE PROTECTED.Mr.D.Robert\u2014*\"The dilemma seems an awkward one: but the choice is really sim- ble enough.These policemen, if they have baid to obtain their places, will, when ox- amined by the commirtee, be in the position of approvers, or Queen's evidence.They should be guaranteed immunity from punishment on condition of their telling all they know about the matter.\u201d MUST, NOT BE INTIMIDATED.Mr.P.MeCaffrey\u2014\u201cThe only way we can get at the facts Is through these men, and.if they are to be intimidated by threats of prosecution for perjury, of course they will pot incriminate themselves.Whoever framed that clause in the charter cowpel- Hug civic employes to take oath that they never paid for their positions made a serious mistake, and it is a pity the clause was adopted.It just gives the corrupt element the chance it wanted to balk investigation, and besides, it-is à serious reflce- tion on the city, belng an admission recorded in black and white that there is or has been a practice of trafficking in City Hall jobs.The whole thing should be cleared up and deme with.\u201d AN OBSTACLE TO REPENTAXCE.Mr.W.Andas\u2014\"It is clear that there Is romething \u2018rotten jn the state of Denmark.\u2019 : The proper course in my opinion would he to examine each member of the police force Oro] Only perfect work can make your Oculist\u2019s prescription give the best result.Here is the variety and quality of materials and the skill in combining them to insure satisfaction.TRY OUR OPTICAL DEPT.| HENRY BIRKS & SONS, | PHILLIPS SQUARE.4 position, { men in a very unpleasant light.\u2014\u2014 : er er \u2014\u2014 \u2014 \u2014© la a searching way a¥% to all the circum: stances counected with his obtaining his appointment.Ile should, of course, be guaranteed immnuity from prosecution, otherwise how can a man who has already perjured himself by swearing that he did not pay, be expected to now confess to his perjury and expose himself to the penalty which the law provides, and whleh, I understand, is a very heavy one.The Mayor's announcement of his intention to prosecute all who repent their errors and wish to make a clean breast of it is neither more nor less than an obstacle in the way of repentance.We must use the means at our disposal for gutting at the facts, and if we cannot have the.evidence of unimpeachable witnesses we must take the best we can get, and take it for what it is worth.Yes: certainly the men should he encouraged to speak the truth, and not in- timidaced into zresh perjury.\u201d UNDOURTEDLY RIGHT.Mr.W.A.Weir, Q.C.\u2026.M.L.A.sald:\u2014 \u201cIf a man swears that he has not paid anything to get on the police force, and subsequently swears that he has, he is liable to prosecution for perjury under section 143 of the Criminal Code.If any case of the kind should arise the Mayor would be un-toubtedly right to prosecute them.\u2019 TRUTH SHOULD COMME OUT.Mr.A.Brown- \"If any of the men swear to a different fact to what they swore when they jdned the force.they should lie prosecuted, but this should not prevent the truth coming out if any of them have paid money for their positon.\u201d MR.CLORAX'S VIEW.Mr.H, J.Cloran said:\u2014*\"There is no doubt that if pclicemen have been getting on the force by paying money, they should be punished as well as those who recelve the money.They should also be punished for committing perjury.Whether or not His Worship's announcement was caleu- lated to bring about a reformation in the present condition of affairs remains to he seen.He is a man of broad principle and a clever man.\u2018Therefore he may have a better foresight of the result of his actions than have those who criticlze him.\u201d SEEMS DESIGNED TO INTIMIDATE.Mr.Wm.Drysdale\u2014\u201cThe Maror's statement seemed ~alculated to intimidate and keep back information.\u201d AN ACT OF TERRORISM.\u201cI think,\u201d said Mr.8S.H.Martel.af Messrs, Martel, Stuart & Co., Craig Street, \u201cthat the declaration of the Mavor is an act of terrorism over his subordinat,s which may be good enough for Russix: hut it won't do for free Canada and the city of Montreal.\u201d A USE DISCOVERED.Mr.H.V.Truell: \u201cThe regulation compelling each applicant to make a statutory declaration before becoming a constable on the city police force, that he has paid nothing directly or otherwise to secure his shows that we have some very skilful operators at the City Hall.The men appear convinced and the public agree with them that money is often used to secure appointments, though cach policeman on the rorce has made a solemn declaration that he has paid no money to anyone for such a purpose.These afidavits are on file at the City Hall and still public opinion refuses to be guided or influenced by the precious doenments.This.places the That such testimony should he exacted before ap- Dpointments are made is a sharp reflection on those who demand it.I observe that the Mayor and Chief alone discovered a use for the attidavits.The arrest of Tremblay will force public opinion, which is always slow to aet in Montreal.Tis arrest was the proper thing under the circumstances, but the result may he different from what is anticipated.The Herald has, as usual, lit the nail on the head.The scandal is humiliating to the men, the Chief, the city Tathers and the voters.The Montreal Herald is exercisIng a most important influence in shaping public opinion about civie matters.Tn this direetion its influence is good, and deserves praise.\u201d SHOULD GUARANTEE WITNESSES.(Fhe Guzette.) The inference from what is being currently said.und frum some things that are being douce, 13 tiat In the Montreal City Mali is co Le found a gang of men as meanly corrupt as ever disgraced a municipal administration.It is not only in the interest of the city, but of the Province, that the truth should Le exposed, first that any who are dishouest may Le punisbed, second that those who are straight may be freed from the suspicion that is beginning to at-, tach to too much that is being dove in connection with civic expenditure.It is not to be believed that a wmajority of the officials and aldermen are venal, but it can hardly be thought that there are not some who are, and these should be exposed and punished.The very ides that a poor man should have to pay $0 for a chance to earn $400 or $300 a year is wrath- creating.And in this connection the City Council.lias\u201d a duty to perform in the investightion the Police Committee has recommended.It 1s to order the investigation and to guarantee the witnesees, in so far as it can, against the prosecation that Tremblay is how undergoing, and against civie punishment.There is nothing to be sald for the mep who are ready to buy positions in the police force, except.perhaps, that they are the vietims of conditions which the City Council Is necessarily and immediately responsible for.If any members of the force have heen foreed to pay confidence operators or boodlers for their plates.the telling of the truth he- fore the Investigators should not he made a ground for punishing them.The circumstances are such as to jvstifr sar- ing this, though ordinarily it should not be said.NEW CHURCH OPENED.Montreal Annex Presbyterian is formally Dedicated\u2014 À Flourishing Congregation with a Substantial Church.The new Presbyterian church at Montreal Annex, at the corner of Mance and Bernard streets, was dedicated yesterday.Rev.Prof.Ross, D.D, preaclled the dedicatory sermon, and he was assisted in the service by

present to participate in the services, Mr.Lough having set his own services aside for that pur- pese.The choir, under the direction nf Mr.Crombie, rendered some splendid music.The collections realized a handsome svm for the buiiding fund, and a number of gifts were made te the church, including a large pulpit Bible from fhe Sunday school.The church is a substantial hriek- encased structure, comfortably furnished and particularly well adapted tn the needs of the present membership and adequate, rerhaps, for years to come.It is fur- nace-leated and illuminated by electrieity.The

Been Totally Destroyed by Fire Early This Morning and Loss Placed at $200,000.Buffalo, Sept.1S.\u2014A special from Farn- ham says almost the entire business section of that village was wiped out of existence by a fire.which broke.out there shortly after 3 o'clock this morning.A conservative estimate places the loss at between $200,000 and $230.000.THE CORISTINE CASE.In tte Court of Appeal, on Saturday, the two appeals in the case of Coristine and Hawes were heard.These are two appeals from a judgment of the Supericr Court, which maintained the demand of Mrs.T.J.Coristine for §$68.849.60 to the extent of $13.988.The principal appeal is by Mr.James Coristine and the cross appeal is by Mrs.T.J.Coristine.The action fs brought by the widow of the late Thomas J.Coristine, who, in his lifetime.was a merchant of the city of Montreal.The present appellant.James Coristine, was in partnership with his deceased brother, T.J.Cor- fstine, during a number of years.The present case arose after the death of T.J.Cor- istine, the widow claiming a certain amount \u2018as due to her husband by the firm.The judgment of the court below maintains, the claim to the extent above mentioned.\u201d judgment reserved.a] WANT DAMAGES FOR INJURIES.Mrs.and Mrs, Jules Ornin have taken an action for 8225 each\u2014 against the Montreal Street Roilwav Company.Ther complain of injuries

Annihilated.Berlin, Sept.18.\u2014The army manoeuvres this year are regarded as a mediocre success, owing to various causes, chiefly unfavorable weather, During four days of the sham warfare in South Germany it rained 1n torrents.For one entire day the operations had to be suspended.Aside from these untoward cirenmstances other features airousced serious criticism ot tbe military value of these big manoeuvres, in which three army corps.numbering £0.000 wen, participated.The troops maren- ed well, the infantry covering.in spite ot the weather, being often kneedeep in mud, from twenty to forty Kilometers daily.But some of the commanrders made some cgregious blunders, Gen.von lalken- hansen, commanding the Thirteenth Corps, got separated from the Fourteenth, and the plan of campaign had to be changed for the next morning.The Emperors dashing charge at the head of two cavalry divisions Wednesday wis a flne sight, but all the experts present agreed that such a charge in actual war and under the same conditions wou!d have led to thr complete annihilation of the whole cavalry.Experts assert that the new field artit- lery and automobiles were hoth found to be easily transportable.Automobiles.henceforth, will be regularly used in army transportation.Some automobiles made during the night and over unknown and unfavorable roads from fifty to seventy milles without breaking down.MR.HUBERT ON TRIAL On a Charge of Perjury Growing Out of the Altering of a Legal Document.The trial of Mr.L.J.R.Hubert, advocate, charged by Mr.H.C.St.Pierre, Q.C., with perjury, under circumstances which have already been fully explained, commenced this morning in the Court of Queen's Bench.Mr.Hubert conducted his own defence, as- sisted by Mr.C.A.Cornellier, Q.C.The prosecution was represented by Mr.Des- marais, M.P., and the complainant.The jury having been sworn, Mr.Desmarais opened the case.Mr.St.Pierre was then called as a witness, and stated the circumstances which had influgnced him in Waking the complaint.The case is in progress.MB.FORTIER'S TURKEYS Judge Ouimet Allows Plea of Justification in the Libel Suit, Dafence Claims That Article Was Provoked by Mr.Fortier's Advertising His Benevolence.Mr.Justice J.Alderic Ouimet, sitting in the Court of Queen's Bench this morning, rendered his decision on the motion made in the cuse of Mr.Brazeau and the others, charged by Mr.J.M.Fortier with criminal libel.The motion, it will be renteinbered, Was to rejeec certain portions of the ae- cused's plea.Judge Ouimet dismissed the notion, The accused had pleaded justii- \u201ccation, and also alleged that the articles in \u201cCanada\u2019s Democracy\u201d and other publications, of which Mr.Fortier complained, had been instigated or provoked by articles which Mr.Fortier had Deen instrumental in having inserted in certain papers, to the effect that he was a very generous cme ployer, having presented each Af his employes with a turkey at Christmas, thereby proving himself a model employer, et cetera.The articles complained of had stated that Mr.Fortier had given his employes a turkey at Christmys, but had docked their wages a dollar a week all the year round, which had made the turkeys come hizh.The articles and language respecting Mr.Fortier\u2019s treatment of his employer, which was certainly strong.Judge Ouimet considered.the accused had wu right to invoke the articles which, they sald, had been inspired by Mr.Fortier.If they could prove that allegation,.it would certainly strengthen their defence.Every person who made an appeal to the publie challenged criticism, and if that criticism was not so favorable nor so agreeable as he expected, well, he who gs the worst of a contro- versv which he himself had challenged.could not complain.The trial proper will be proceeded with probably to-morrow, THE MINING STOCKS There was not much done ou the local mining market to-day, the cheaper stoc&s not

Moutreal, then read a notarl protest against the action of the Mayor and Corporation in giving the contract to a firm who undertook to carry out the work at a price of $11,009 In excess of the lowest tender.After reading the protest, Mr.Archambault took bis seat among tue audience.Lhe Mayor Immediately raised a polnt of order.he desired to know the names of lle persons wno were responsible for the letter in La Patrie.Ali.J.BB.J.Prcurd explained that the letter was signed by a number of persons residing in Lachine, bat he bad no authority to Miuntivn tbexz names.The Mayor declured that this explanation was most unsatisfactory.He had been called upon to explain the policy of the Council by a number of persons who had not the courage to come forward and explain (ne reusuns for their objections.He wished tq know whether the persons in question were responsible men, and iu whose benalf they were acting, For himself, personally, he cared nothing, but as Mayor of the town he had a right to de- aud the names of thuSe who had usurped the authority of the legally constituted representatives of the town by calling the meeting.Tue least they could do was to come on the platform and take responsibility for the accusations they had to make, and sad already made, against the Mayor and Corporation.In tlhe letter that had been published, insinuations had been made against the governing body of the town, and he hoped that whoever had done this would have the manliness to come forward and face the consequences, Mr.Dicard, in response to this passionate appeal, sprang to his feet and announced that Mr.Gauthier, the unsuccessful teuderer, was the principal person who had instigated the letter, An angry demenstration followed this an- noancement, and the ex-Mayor rose and exhorted the meeting to be calm and consider the matter impartially.They Tad cee there, he said, to hear the reasons why the contract had heen given to a firm at $11,000 more than the lowest tenderer had offered to do the work for.The Mayor, after the excitement had somewhat subsided, rose and explained that it was not always customary for municipal authorities to accept the lowest fender for public works.In the case of the eon- tract for the water works at Lachine, for example, which had been given out in the regime of his predecessor, the lowest tender was not accepted.There was no TELLS OF À MURDER Smith's Falls Horrified by Discovery of the Crime.IN DRUNKEN RAGE A Well-known Local Blacksmith Admits Having Beaten His Wife to Death Saturday.\u2014 Smith's Falls, Sept.18.\u2014(Special.)\u2014!t would seem this morning as if the peaceful and progressive tow nof Smith's alls had come into th unenvisb'e notortety of having a murder counniited within its hounds, A few ninntes after seven o'clock this morning Thomas Blake went into a blick~miih's slop near lis hame and informed the blacksmith that his, Blake's, wife was dead.The bhicksmith went with him, and on E0ing upstairs was confronted with an awful sight.Lying on an old bed quilt on tite floor, alongside a rickety old bed, lay the woman stene dead.Her hair was dishevelled, her body was nesriy naked, anl her face was one puss of wounds and bruises, She had been ervelly beaten, pounded to death, a fact quite apparent without any coroner's inquest.All the unhappy woman had on in the wav of clothing was à man's undershirt and the legs of a pair of steckings without any feet in them.The house is perhaps the most miserable in the whole town, a small ronch-east structure in the west end.Although it ts only about 20 by 16 feet.with a lean-to Kitchen in the rear, it is divided into two parts, one of which 1s untenanted and the other occupied by the Blakes.Liquor was their undoing, and was the direct cause of the revolting crime, as it has heen of so many others.Two cook-stoves, a couple of old cupboards, a table and an old lounge mate un the furniture in the lower part, while abnve there was simply one room withont any furniture whatever except an old bed.Toverty and misery were everywhere in evidence.BLAKE'S STORY.Blake was about the house this morning, and although laboring under great excite ment, talked quite reety of the dread£ul deed.He sald that both he and his wife ind been drinking on Saturday and that Saturday night a wan named McGaw cau to the louse with a Dbotile of tiguor.They all drauk of it until it was gone, and then McGaw went out for more.fn the interval he says he fell asleep, and when he awakened and went upstairs he found Me- Gaw in bed with his wife.This angered him, and he says he went downstairs again, got a stick of stove wood, and, going back, began pounding them both across the faces with the stick while they were asleep.They got out of bed, he says, and he shoved them both downstairs.McGaw then went away, but he does not say how his wife got back upstairs.He says that she was alive Sunday Morning and that le took her up a drink.Me also claims that she spoke to him Sunday afternoon, hut it is the general opinion she was killed Saturday nignt and that she lay dead all day yesterday and all last ight.; BIEN ayshe burned the stick with which he pounded her, and he admits h washed up the floor and wiping off her 90 yesterday.He does not tell his tory ex- setlv alike twice, and it is pretty difficult Lo get anything satisfactory

John oCrk, W.J.Graham, Thos.Hogan, J.Rutherford, 8.T.Gilroy, J.D.Stewart, A.May, H.L.Magee and A.Perey.The jury viewed the remains, and then adjourned until this evening to await the result of the

and men to the city and to the port.reason, however, for reproaching his predecessor on that score.The Council nad exercised its best judgment in the matter then, just as it had done now.it seemed that no person had had the courage to acknowledge responsibility for the letter in La Patrie, and the persons who had signed the notorial protest had witn- drawn from it; but he was perfectly wiki- ing to explain the reason why the contract had heen given to the present contractors.\u2018The matter had been most carefully considered in all its bearings.\u2018The firm had been selected because it had been considered that they were the best qualified by reason of their resources and experience for undertaking a work which involved so much of the public money.Moreover, their tender came nearest to the estimates of the encineers who had gone into the matter exhaustively down to the minutest detail.These, in brief, were the reasorg that had influenced the Council in awfrding the contract.He said that although this was not the proper Place to answer any attacks on their pol- fey, he was perfectly willing to do so.A motion was unanimously adopted declaring the Mayor's explanation to be per- feetly satisfactory, and the meeting dispersed.PERSONAL remem Miss Laura Kains, Shute: ing in Blythe, Oat.} Miss Carrie Williams returned to Montreal on Monday last, after spending a few weeks in

Willing to Spend Over a Million Dollar and to Give Guarantee Against Monopoly.The proposition of a syndicate of Buffalo and Cleveland capitalists to erect elevators lin this port, and carry on a general ele- cvating and carrying business, whlch was su widely discussed a few amoutus ago, is again to the fore.Mr.W.J.Con- ners, f Buffalo, proprietor of the Buffalo Courier and Inquirier.and largely interested in the grain elevating business; Mr, Harvey LD.Goulder, of Cleveiand, who is deeply incerested in lake marine atfairs, uud Hon.Lichard.Harcourt, Provincial Treasurer, Ontario, arrived ut ihe I'lace Viger Hotel this morning, and will interview the lourd vf Harbor Commissivners upd Ilou.lr.rarte on the subject ol the proposed elevators.These gentlemen were this morning interviewed by The Herald, when they spoke Lreely upon their project, which they feel, I consammated, will do much towards giving Montreal that immense grain trade which the deepening of the St.Lawrence crmals should make possible.They say that If they could not depend on increasing, within two years, the volume of grain pissing through this port from under forty millions of bushels tu over one hundred thousand millions, it would be folly for them to invest their money in the enterprise, \u2019 Briefly stated, the proposition made by these gentlemen is this: The Government and the Harbor Commissicners will grant them a ninety-nine year lease of part of the Windmill Point pier for the sited of an elevator, and for usual! berths, and part of the pler south of it for shed room, and will guarantee a depth of water equivalent to the depth in the harbor, and in the river between Moutreal and Quebec, they will invest one million dollars and cver in elevators, permanent sheds and barges.They profess their willingness to dgree to any conditions tut duty he thought desiranle to ensure equality ot use of their facilities by all parties, and to prevent danger from muuopoiy.Tovey are prepared to place a large block or thelr stuck for sale in Canada, and to give à place on their Bourd of Directors io a representative of the Government and or the business interests of Montreal.The renewal of teeir propositions at this time is due to the decision of the Federal Government not 10 proceed with the construction orf an elevaoor here, as was originally contemplated.They say that the conditions are not now nearly as tavoraole for building us they were, owing to the price of steel having advanced su rapidly.Even if the steel could be procured, the extra cost would be about $500,000.lu order to censure the proposed elevator accommodation by uwexc season, no time should be lost in getting to work.And they think that under ie circumstances it night be preferable 1o build of Wood, Making arrangements for steel extensions as the business warranted.TRANSFERRING AL PORT COLBURNI.An interesting and important feature of the secuelue 1s dhe erection of a large ele- vator\u2014of probably 000,000 bushels capacity \u2014at Port Colborne.sr.Conner and Ar.Goulder say tuat tuey have satisfied thow- selves that the St.Lawrence route can sue- cessfully compete against the Erie Canal route, but the question is still unsettled as to whether it will pay better to carry the grain from Lake Superior or Lake Micui- gan ports in the same bottoms to Mong.real, or to tranship from the large to the small vessels at Port Colborne.he Syndicate propose to bu prepared for either eventuaity.key intend to place Port Col- borne on an equality with Bulfalo as far us the accommodation for the larger craft is concerned, by naving at that ort ail the facilities necessary for the expeditious hane dling of grain.[If small vessels do the business they will not stop at Port Col- borne.If large boats carry the grain to the east end of Lake Irie, they can find at \u2018Port Colborne the same terminal facilities as at buffalo, The proposed company will, of course, be Canadian, and its boats being of Canadian register, can carry the grain of Manitoba to Montreal\u2014grain which now goes largely to Buffalo.It is proposed to own a fleet «f vessels, not for the purpose of controlling the carrying trade, but to be in a position to ensure freight for ocean vessels wanting it at Montreal.Here, according to these gentlemen, lies the weakness of the scheme of Government qunership.A Government is not going into the lake carrvinge trade.vet it Is necessary to do so to be able to run thz elevators at a profit.A vessel, before she will come to Montreal, must be assured of a cargo, and the elevator owners cannot so assure her unless they have at thelr control vessels which will bring the desired cargo down from the lakes, if it is not already stored in the elevators.Asked as to the probability of securing return cargoecs, Mr.Goulder said that they would be prepared to issue through bills of lading from Europe to any point in the Western States, and by this means expected to secure a large amount of freight inwards.A ton of freight from New York to Duluth now cost about $1.75, while they figured on carrying it from Montreal to Duluth at about $1.25\u2014a difference quite sufficient to ensure a large proportion being sent this way.Asked regarding other conditions in thelr original proposition, Mr.Goulder stated that their references to reduction of wharfage dues, and to openeing of the canals on Sunday were simply suggestions, and not part of the proposed agreement.Neither did they expect the piers to be prepared for their elevators, but merely that they should be strong enough for permanent sheds.These sheds would be built of steel, with the siding of the lower parts removable, if it should be necessary during bigh water to permit the free flow of the water over the wharf.pr GRETA HOLME INQUIRY It Began This Morning and the Captain and Pilot Were Examined\u2014Contin- uea on Friday.The Harbor Board met this morning in special session to investigate the ground ing of the Greta Holme.The case was not tinished.Capt.Ritchie said the accident was due to the negligence of the pit lot.During the whole trip be says the pilot was not steering well Both the captain and the first officers say the stecr- ing gear was all right.Hansel, who was at the wheel, testified thar he obeyed the orders of the pilot exactly.Pilot Jean Arcand claims that the ship took a sheer and he gave an order.but that though the man at the wheel obeved his orders, he did not do it quickly enough, \u2018whieh enused the accident.He says he and the captain disagreed about the steer- ine of the ship.The investigation was adjourned till Fri- d>v next.Mr.Charles Archer appeared for Pilot Arcand, and Mr.Geoffrion for the

purchased on the 5th instant, for immediate shipment, Mr.Trethewey says :\u2014 The vein on these properties is well defined, and, where exposed by the workings near ihe line between the Western Hill

gauge consists of a somewhat crushed and iron-stained quartz, sparingly amount of Blend and Graphite disseminated 27 ft.on the foot wall, and the ledge has been exposed by a crosscut to its full width; it here appears to be divided into hanging and foot wall portions by a scam of somewhat decomposed clay material which appears to dip toward the hanging wall, cutting out the leaner and allowing the richer portious of the vein fo increase with depth.Samples taken in this shaft, across an 8 ft.face lying next to the foot wall gave an average return of £7.00 in Gold and $1.35 in Silver, making a total of $8.35 per ton, Silver, making a total of $2.70 per ton for a wi of the vein.while the balance of the vein gave a return of $2.00 in Gold aud 70 cents in dih of ten feet, so that $5.23 may be considered a fair average for the full width The conclusion I have drawn, after a thorough examination and study of the facts as here presented.is that judicions development should locate extensive hodies of pay ore, as even if only the 8 ft.next to the foot wall be extracted, the values continuing in depth.as tliere is no reason why they should not.while leaner portions may be encountered.they eld be left in the mine to support the walls, and you would still have a proposition of unlimited tonnage well worthy of judicious expenditure in exposing its resources.The general conditions, elevation, ete, are so favorable that mining operations can be carried on for many years hy simply tunnelling into the mountain and following the trend of the vein, and hundreds of

and Evolutions for Charity.A grand naval and military tournament Is= to be given on Thursday and Friday evenings of this week in the Victoria Rink, in which the sailors and marines of the British warships due in port to-day, will participate, Entertainments of this character are extremely popular in Montreal, and as the proceeds are to go to a worthy charitable institution, there is no doubt the affair will be a grand success.Vice-Ad- miral Sir Frederick Bedford, commander of Her Majesty's North American squadron, has been pleased to give his sanetion to the event, and the oflicers and sailors of the eet express themselves as being greatly pleased to return in this manner the many kindnesses hitherto shown them by the citizens of this city.À splendid programme of naval and military drill, with a number of specinl features has been arrangsd.in which 300 men will take part.There wiil be 100 pleked men from the warships in pore, supplemented by GO marines.The Highland Cadets.100 strong, undar Maje Lydon, will assist with their favorite iri: , and the remainder of the force wil\u2019 de made up of detach- nients from the Royal Scots and Montreal lield Battery.The committee of management of the tournament will be composed of the eap- tains and lieutenants of the ships and the commanding officers of the various city battalions.This is not the first oceusion on which British Jack Tars have been seen at their picturesque evolutions in the city, but it is doubtful if they will ever have an opportunity of giving {he public an exhibition of their work under such favorable auspices.Capt.Primrose of TIALS.Talbot, will give his personal attention to the naval portion of the programme, and Lieut.-Col.Steven- fon is actively interesting himself in the military section of the tournament.He has arranged for the use of the drill hal: for the sailors, so that they may have shore drill for three days previous to the opening «f the tournament, The grouping of such a body of men on CE SPILCIOUS É Victoria Rink, will create a plcturesque scene such\\as is\u2019 not aften witnessed in this city, and the first item of the programme will be onej that wilt tend to arouse the patriotic feelings of the spectators.It is entitled \u201cRallying Around the Flag,\u201d the idea being for the different detachments to march into the rink to the «trains of martial music and take up thelr places around the British colors.,The programme is designed to occupy two hours, to commence at 8.15 and terminate at 10.15.The sailors will give their attractive exht- hitions of crtlass and physical drill, while the marines will go through the bayonet exercise.The Highland Cadets, so well and favorably known, for their pretty drill- fue exhibition, will have a prominent place in the tournament.From an athletic standpoint, the most interesting feature of the event, will be tug-of-war contests between three teams composed of sailors and three local teams, a number of whom wiil be selected from the city fire brigade.The three winning teams of the first night of the tournament will contest on the second night.Among the special features will be wrestling on horseback, fencing on Dbieycles between Sergt.Major Tlawker and a com | petitor, in addition to which that well- ¥nown swordsman will perform a number of difficult feats.One of the Jack Tars is an expert bicyelist, and he will be on hand to do some faney and trick riding.An ob: stacle race will be one of the amusing features of the programme.If it is possible for the Field Brttery to get their guns into the building, they will give sn exhibition of mounting ard dismounting the guns.Different programmes will be provided for both nights of the tournament.HOME READING UNION.Work Begins the First Week in Oct-

shortly.Yes.{erday's confirmation was the first that has been held in the Church and more than twenty young persons joined in the sacrament.The service was very impressive, and the congregation was large.The Bishop based his remarks to the newly- confirmed on the fourteenth and following verses of the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 8, \u201cThen lald their hands on them and they received the Holy Ghost.\u201d After the manner of the Apostles, said IIis Lordship, he too would lay hands, so that the Holy Ghost might descend upon them.There could be no doubt of this, for had they not been baptized, and they would receive the fultilment of the promise.His Lord ship then, in a few words of tender regard, urged all to be cautious, in order that they might continue in the way of righteousness, The sacrament they had received was intended to bestow strength and courage.They must march on fearlessly like valiant soldiers, ready and eager to contend for the right.While all flesh was liable to err there were three means open to them as sources of receiving strength\u2014first, praver: secondly, the reading of God's word, and, finally, the frequent reception of Holy Communion.If they did this that joy whieh surpasses human understanding would be theirs.At the service the Rev.D.Dockhart, and Mr.C.Carruthers acted as assistants.BY THEIR TRAIL OF OATS Barriefield
