Dec.2.\u2014(Special.)\u2014For nine days the jury in the Ponton-Mackie case have bren kept engaged in the arduous duty of sifting and examining evidenc?, but their task is nearing an end.Yesterday aflernnon the last of the witnesses was heard, and the case will likely be given to the jury late this evening.There is no prospect of a verdict before to-morrow.What time can be spared from a discussion of the sufe-expert evidence is given ta guessing at the result of the trial.As at all times the partisans pro and con sec only one course for the jury to pursue, which is, needless to say, the particular one each party supports.The large and important impartial minority is content to writ patiently for the verdict, satisfied that the jury will act justly, and realizing the futility of guesses and prophecies.The jury is a very intelligent one, as has been already stated in these columns, and being drawn wholly from outs'de this township has little or mone of the prejudices which ave so strong in Napance.Their appearance and the manner in which they have follewed the evidence is fair ground for believing that they possess a larger share nf the czim, judic'al spirit necessary to decide such a case than is to be found hers, They have been icalously guarded all along | from any aitempt to approach or influence them, and since they were first sworn they have not spoken to a soul outside of the spreial constables.There is a great deal of money being put up on the result, and all the Ponton sym- pathirers who have money to bet are offering freely.Last nicht even money un +0 5 to 1 was wagered on an acquittal, and a few bets are said to have been placed at 10 to 1.As the end draws near the excitement increases, and no little bitterness is manifested towards the prosecution.Some of the vounger and more hot-headed friends of Ponton are becomine rather offensive to those who are not of their way | of thinking, and several altercations have already occurred.Some people fear a riotous demonstration in case of an ad- versa verdict, but the authorities say that there is no fear of this.\u2018The court room was crowded to suffocation vesterday by people anxious to hear the prisoners in the witness-box, and a atill larger crowd hune about on the wrong edo of the door.rendering it a matter of difficulty for those who had business to reach the chamber.Shortly after the commencement of the afternoon session the unroar outside became so great that the iudvo ordered the lobbies to be cleared.At five o'clock the hearing of evidence was concluded, at which time the Crown had put in fortv witnesses and the combined defance sixty-seven.Probably greater interest has heen taken fn the evidence of the safe exnerts for the defence than that of amv other witness.As the matter now stands before the jury.two men have sworn that a combination , lock camnot be onened without a know- Jedge of the numbers, while three men have sworn that it is possible to master | a lock without that information.Two of the latter have svstems and the third works away with \u201cbull-headed\u201d perseverance.to use bis own expression.But so far no actnal demnnatration of these gentlemen\u2019s abilitv has heen given, and the safe which was robbed lies downstairs stil monened.Mr.Justice TFerrusom voiced the eninion of manv when he seïd, during this stage of the evidence, that the real anestion was the ability to perform what these witnesses cleimed to he possible, and that the nroper wav to proceed was to Tet them work on the safe on an unkmown combination.Un to the Tast moment it was exnected that the defence might produce May Bald- wn to swear that she hrd been in the public passace leading to Ponton\u2019s rooms on the might of the rohbheryv with a commercial traveller.But after all the trouble taken to secure hor fram the States.she was not called.Whatever theory of the strange naiges heard in Ponton\u2019s rooms hy Mrs, MeGreer may be adduced in Mr, Porter\u2019s speech , no facts to explain them away have been submitted in evidence.Two-Cent Poker Game Ponton was further examined by Mr.Oc = NR SS NR AN NS SN Ry N SSH NN NN hn A RANT N WRITE FOR

estimates for the coming year.The meeting was | devoid of features, and considerable pro- | gress was consequently made.The salaries of some of the clerks in the department were advanced, but in nearly atl cases the increase was only that to which they are entit'ed under the terms upon which whey wwe engaged.Mr.PF.J.O'Neill steps from $850 to $1,000.It was shown by those who were members of the committee when he was engaged that he was assured of an increase of $100 each year until his salary reached the maximum of his class, $1,300.Haying been in the department a year and a half, they say that he is now entitled to a salary of $1,000.Ald.Martineau proposed that two men out of the folowing three employed in the sewer department be discharged ou January 1st.They were J.H.Parent, J.A.B.Labelle and P.Pheian.This was rejected.The salary of J.A.Labelle was increased from $600 to $620 per annum, that to $850, that of P.Phelan increased from $624 to $650, that of R.Roiland from $300 to $900 Ald.Martineau was opposed to all increases.Ile proposed that all assistant foremen be paid a uniform salary of $15 a vreek.Some were get.i.g $18.Ald.Turner proposed, in amendment, that they be paid $16 a week, which was carried, thereby making a saving of $208 on these employes.Ald.Galery moved that the sixty section men get $9 a week eadh, instead ot $7.50.#8 70 and $9, as at present.Ald.Ouimet, in amendment, moved that thoy get 98 a week each.This resulted in a Lie, and was carried by the chairman casting his vote.Ald.Gallery then proposed a reconsideration of the vote.Carried.Ald.Wilson proposed $9, and Ald.Oui- met, in amendment, $8.50 each.Carried.Ald.Ouimet then proposed that the 20 carters be increased to $2.25 a day each.Carried.\u2019 Ald.Martineau

À.and M.Classes, The members composing the Montreal committee of the Council of Arts and Manufactures visited last Monday evening the various classes which are in operation in this city.They were pleased *o notice the increase in the number of pupils, the discipline and the good order maintained in the different classes.After the inspection, the vice-president of the council, Mr.Thomas Gaut' ier, announced to the pupils that the council has the intention of giving awards to the most deserving pupils.These will consist of medals and other useful articles.The number of pupils in the Montreal schol is 375, and in adding the number in the other schools established in the province, it reaches 1,100.The Montreal school 1s divided into twelve classes, under the of Mr.À.E.Bis-ette

EDITORIAL HooM8., * JuB ROUM.bd 841 768 1919 HERALD PUBLISHING CO.Jas.S.BRIERLEY, Managing Director, THE BOARD OF CONTROL.The City Council yesterday undid the work of its meeting last week, and threw out by a narrow majority the proposition to wipe out the present disastrous committee system and substitute therefor a Board of Control elected by and from among the aldermen themselves.As is usual in such cases, the scale was tipped against the reform by the votes of men who are ordinarily counted as being upon the side of reform.Alderman Dufresne has done nothing since he entered the Council to induce any one to believe that he has any sympathy for the methods of the Gang.Neither has Ald.Paquette.In fact his actions on the Finance Committee have given quite the contrary indication.Of Ald.Clearihue it can only be said that he must be given full credit for the opinion he évidently entertains that one small committee would be no better than the mu- merous committees which now make so sad e mess of the city\u2019s business.He has done what he could pn those committees to which he has been named, and if he has not yet seen the futility of trying to reform the administration through the present committees it speaks well for his hopefulness.One year such as 1898 has been in the Health, Police and Water Committees ought to be enough to discourage anybody, and we have not the least doubt that before the end of another year Ald.Clearihue will be found acknowledging to.his constituents the faultiness of his judgment in this instance.The debate on the question at yesterday\u2019s meeting was an instructive one, as much for what was left unsaid as for what was said.This was very noticeable inthe ' case of Ald.Jacques.Ald.Jacques, as * most people know, is an expert in municipal government by the committee system, and it would surprise no one to learn that he would not expect so wide a scope for the exercise of his talents under the new system as he finds under the present.He is the author of the notorious resolution which whitewashed Mr.Laforest in connec- But of Control is that the Irish aldermen would have mo chance of representation.Our friends of St.Ann\u2019s will be grateful for this solicitude, no doubt.It is worth mentioning, however, that in Toronto, where there is only one Irish-Catholic alderman, that one is this year a member of the , Board of Control, and in Toronto the Board consists of only three members, whereas the Montreal board was to have sx.A more potent, or at least a more plausible, argument was mooted by Ald.Cleari- hue who quoted a recent discussion in the Toronto City Council and .asked, \u201cwhy should it be adopted in Montreal when Toronto rejected it?\u201d The simple answer to this is that Toronto has not rejected it.It is true that Ald.Lamb has spoken against the Board, but although he was a member of it for two of the three years it has existed, he was unable to bring forward a bill of complaint against it that commands any respect.The truth is that Ald.Lamb is the type of patronage-bestow- ing alderman, and aldermen who want to have control of unlimited patronage are no more in love with the idea of control of any sort in Toronto than they are in Montreal.It is liberty to spend they mostly.want, not control of the expenditure.In point of fact it is about all that can be expected when the vote on such a proposition is so large as it was yesterday, to say nothing of the affirmative vote of a week ago.If the legislators at Quebec are ; watching the drift in Montreal, as they ought to be, these votes ought to influence them towards giving Montreal the system the situation imperatively demands.If, however, the Legislature declines to act in advance of an emphatic expression of public opinion in Montreal, that expression: of opinion must and will be sought at the next municipal election.Some excuse may i be found for an alderman who objects to depriving himself of patronage on his own volition, but once the subject has been fairly considered at an election the will of the electorate will have to be observed even though the aldermen fancy it to in- wolve a sort of political hari-kari.; | \u201cOF COURSE.\u201d \u201cMr.Taste, of course, backs the Mayor, \u2018and the latter, speaking on the authority of Mr.Tarte, says that unless the commissioners take the lot, which will cost $126,000 boo much, the Harbor Board will be disbanded and the Government will run the affair itself, as it can reasonably do, adds Mr.Prefontaine, sceing that the country is going to pay the bill.The commissioners are obdurate.They claim that they are working for the best and cheapest site.The Tarte-Prefontaine party is insistent.It will turn the board out, as surely as Cromwell extinguished a Parliament, unless the high-priced land be taken.\u201d This delectable morsel, it may be as well to say, lest someone should think it came from the Star, is from the Toronto Mail and Empire.It is part of that paper\u2019s graceful explanation of the little rift in tthe Montreal Harbor Board\u2019s lute, occasioned by the Mayor's Sohmer Park speech.Mr.Tarte, \u201cof course, backs the Mayor.\u201d \u201cThe Tarte-Prefontaine party is insistent.\u201d Evidently the Mail-Empire still believes in the theory originated by the Witness, fostered by the Witness, and lately abandoned by the Witness, that there is a conspiracy.How much Mayor Prefontaine speaks on the authority of Mr.Tarte is pretty well realized around Montreal.The Mayor himself has given up the pretemce, and the attempt to drag the Harbor Board, Mr.Tarte and the Government into any scheme for paying an exorbitant price for a dry dock site with a huge commission for middlemen has received its quietus.But, \u201cof course, Mr.Tarte backs the Mayor,\u201d says the Mail-Empire.Is #t any wonder the mild-mannered Globe hes felt the necessity of calling the Toronto Conservative organ \u2018\u201c\u2018an awful lar ?\u201d IN MISSISQUOI.The choice of Dr.Cotton as the Liberal standard-bearer in Missisquoi, meade at Bedford yesterday, was a happy one, eo far as the character and qualifications of the candidate are concerned, and was peculiarly gratifying as showing the practical solidarity of the Liberal party in the riding.The two nationalities are of about equal strength in Missisquoi, and it was not surprising that men of each race fully qualified to represent the riding should have been placed in nomination, The graceful manner in which Mr.Bereau withdrew in favor of Dr.Cotton when it was found on the first ballot that the latter gentleman had the larger number of votes, was an indication of unity in the party ranks that will certainly ensure the return of the Liberal nominee if his opponents insist on a contest.Dr.Cotton is a medical practitioner, well and favorably known throughout the Townships and in Montreal.He is a graduate of McGill, and has been for some time a governor of the College of Physicians and Surgeoms of the Province.For fifteen years he has practiced his profession in Missisquoi.He will make a good candidate and a capable representative.THAT RES: RVOIR TRANSACTION.The nature of the transaction by which the city lost possession of the stone m the partition wall of the reservoir is shown by the statement made elsewhere in relation to the cost of raising the derrick used in the work.The sta®ment fur- wished by Mr.Laforest shows that it took sixty hours to put the derrick in position.The fact is that three men did the work between one and four o'clock on one after- ncon, so that nine hours was the time taken, and not sixty hours.Mr.Laforest may possibly try to shuffle out of this on the basis that he is not responsible for Leboeuf\u2019s bill.But Mr.Leboeuf put in a bill for $114 for the services of the derrick for thirty-eight days at three dollars a day, and Mr.Laforest had it amended to thirty-six days at two and a half dollars a day.Moreover, the men who saw the stone removed shrug their shoulders when they read of only 204.7 yards being taken.But what difference, when the city gets nothing for the stone anyhow?If there is anybody who thinks Mr, Laforest ough?any longer to be left in charge of the Water Department, it would be interesting to know his opinions.Presumably though there must be some such in the city, since no alderman has as yet had the courage to move for his dismissal.UNFAIR CRITICISM.\u201cThe Tarte influence in Montreal wants the Harbor Board \u2018dismissed because it will not agree to a site for the dry dock that that influence has determined upon.It seems that the site will cost $120,000 more than the one the board wishes to buy, and, according to the Montreal Witness, it is controlled by favorites, who are going to purchase it at half the price they are asking for it.If the board is dis missed, says the Witness, it will be an affront to honesty ani common sense.\u201d\u2019\u2014To- ronto Mail and Empire.This is the kind of comment anybody must concede the Ontario Conservative press is entitied to make on Montreal affairs when a paper like the Witness, which ought to be expected to know what it is talking about, harps away persistently on the same string.The Witness has availed itself of every opportunity to represent the Mayor as the mouthpiece of Mr.Tarte, and Mr.Tarte as \u201ca jumping- jack worked by the Mayor.\u201d After having advertised the Minister of Public Works in this light for months, the Witness falls a long way short of discharging the duty it owes to the public when it grudgingly acknowledges that the Minister's \u201cletter proves very clearly that the mole in which he has been advertised, that of puppet to Mayor Prefontaine, has not proved econ- genial to him.\u201d \u2018This is not exactly fair tlay, but it is a sample of the unscrupulous uprightness of which the Witness\u2018is credited with enjoying a monopoly.Wherein it differs from the less pretentious railing of the Mail and Empire is not easy to distinguish.NOTHS AND COMMENTS.\u201cBoiled oil\u201d is to the Police (Department what \u201clockjaw\u201d is to the Health Department, The Gazette news columns to-day refer to him as \u201cMr.Refuse H.Pope.\u201d A lot depends on the accented syllable, An Ottawa paper says Mr.Foster \u201cgoes around the country talking twaddle.\u201d Verily these be great days for truth-telling.If \u201cA Resident of St.Lawrence Ward\u201d will forward his name and address {not for publication), the information contained in his letter will be availed of.Poem The aldermen whe voted to save the Executive Board are the most progressive and public-spirited in the Council.Ald.learihue, judging by his record, should have been among them.Ald.Clearihue, of Montreal, is not well advised when he lets Ald.Lamb, of Toronto, form his opinions for him.Ald.Lamb having failed of re-election to the Toronto Board has much the same opinion of the system as have the Montreal aldermen who fear that there will be no seat for them on a Montreal Executive Board.Mr.Pope, at the Conservative meeting in Cookshire yesterday, complained of the indifference to Conservative politics of the young men of the Eastern Townships.He attributed the indifference to a lack of mental food of a political character, but a more reasonable explanation would be the satisfaction of the Eastern Townships people with the present Administration\u2014to say nothing of the fast-growing circulation in the Townships of this great family journal.\u2019 PERSONALS.e DN °° 92° Judge Choquette, of Montmagny, is regls- tered at the Place Viger.; .Mr.W.F.Vilas, of Uowan3¥ville, is registered at the St.Lawrence Iall.Dr.and Mrs.Wheeler, of

Harvey, of H.M.Customs, son of Mr.Henry Harvey, of the Trade Review, was united in marriage bo Miss Alice Mary Stafford, daughter of Mr.William Stafford, the well known insurance agent, and honorary president of the Shamrock Lacrosse Club.Mr.and Mus.Harvey were the recipients of many kind gifts and expressions of good will from the friends who attended the ceremon: , at which the Rev.Father Quinlivan officiated.They aftrewards went west on their wedding tour, accompanied with the best wishes of their friends.A pretty wedding took place at St George\u2019s Church on Wednesday after- Tioon at five o\u2019clock, wheu Miss Jean Turner Botterell, daughter of Mr.I.H.Pot'erell, of this city, was married to Richard George McConnell, assistant to Dr.G.M.Dawson, of the Geological Survey, Ottawa.The chancel was artistically decorated with palms and yellow and white chrysanthemums, the chef d\u2019ouvre being a magnificent marriage bell, composed of the chrysanthemums, under which the happy pair plighted their troth to each other.The ceremony was performed by the Very Rev.Dean Carmichael.The church was well filled with friends and interested spectators, while the Montreal members of the King\u2019s Daughters, of which order Miss Botterell is the Tominion secretary, were present in a bady, and for whom seats were reserved.The groom was supported by Mr.McInnes, of Ottawa, as Dest man, and his nephew, Mr.Frnest McConnell, while Mr.Frank Botterell and Mr.John Bot- terell acted as ushers.Mrs.B.H.Bot- terell, the mother of the bride, wore a handsome gown of heliotrope satin,

Mr.Bertram, the Toronto Shipbuilder, and Mr.Hutcheson, the Ottawa Lumberman, Among Them.~ a ! \u2014 po O WATCH THEIR INTERESTS ! ly The Sitnation in Reference to a Reciprocity Treaty Has Reached a Critical Stage.ATTITUDE OF U.S.LMBUERMEN t _\u2014\u2014\u2014 Buffalo, Dec.2.\u2014The following special from Washington appears in the morning Butralo luxpress: .\u201cInteresting speculation has resulted from the arrival in Washington this week of several prominent Canadians.The statement has been made in some quarters that these gentlemen have come here in the fear that the commissioners representing the Dom:nion Government will make some concessions which are detrimental to the interests of at least some persons and organizations in Canada.Within the last two days several gentlemen have arrived, end all où them represent very great material interests in the Dominion.\u201cOne of these is George H.Bertram, the member of Parliament, and well known ship builder of Toronto.Although Mr.Bertram declared that his presence in Washington \u2018was due to his journey south to visit the shipbuilding works at Newport News, it is noticeable that he has had several conferences with Sir Wilfrid Lau rier, and there was apparently considerable importance attached to these inter- wiews.William Hutchison, member of Parliament for Ottawa, who owns flour and catmeal interests, is also in Washington.Registered with him at the Shoreham Hotel, which is only one block from the Ar- Tington, where the meetings of the Joint High Commission are held, is Mr.Henry C.Hamilton, formerly of Toronto, but now occupied with water-power and manufacturing in Sault Ste.Marie.Current rumor has it that both these men are here for the purpose of impressing the Canadian commissioners with the importance of insisting strongly upon all the.rights which in their opinion properly belong to the Dominion Government and \u2018its cita- zens.\u2018There is a tendency to believe in gome quarters that the (Canadian manufacturers are concerned on account of the anticipation that they might be sacrificea in an effort of the Canadian commisson- ers to allow manufactured articles to enter Canada in return for the entry into this country of agricultural products from Carada.Whether there be more or less foundation for this belief, the certainty, mnever- theless, exists that the megotiations be- twern the Canadian and American commissioners on the subject of reciprocity have reached a critical stage.This is not to say that there is grave danger of a fail- bre to agree, but merely a conservative statement regarding the delicacy of the situation.Even if an agreement should be reached, as at least one member ot the Canadian commission believes will be the case, there is still great danger that the Senate may veto the measure, or may Impose such modifications as will not be acceptable to Canada.Enormous private interests will certainly be represented in Washington as soon as the time approaches for bringing up the proposed treaty in the Senate.The lumber interests, which are so vast all the way along the border from Maine to Lake Superior, are generally opposed to the et- forts now being made to secure a reciprocity agreement.The belief among the pwoers of these lumber interests is, ot course, that a reciprocity agreement would bring Canadian lumber into more active competition with the American product than is the case under the Dingley law.\u2019 Toronto, Dec.2.~(Special.)\u2014A special to the Globe says: The meeting of the Joint High Commis- dion yesterday was extremely short, lasting but little over half an hour.Afterwards the sub-committee on railway traffic an bond, which consists of Senator Fairbanks, one of the most eminent of American railway lawyers; Mr.Coolidge, one of the largest shareholders of the C.B.& Q.Ry.; Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright, went into session and worked till one o\u2019clock.The proceedings of this committee are not likely to be protracted, as there is little difference of opin- fon on the questions involved.The Cana- & == days before Christmas, ARTISTIC GIFTS.Several shipments of European Art

Ym 1 \u2014 LE m\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 dian Pacific Railway is represented at Washington by Dr.Raymond, of Detroit, standing counsel for the company mn the United States, and Mr.Raymond is not at all apprehensive that anything will be done by the Joint High Commission to hurt the Canadian railways or cripple their efficiency in competition.The proposition of Col.Walker, of the Santa Fe, orig: nally made at Quebec to the American commissioners, to provide for the licensing of Canadian railways doing business in the States, such licenses to be cancelled for a breach of the inter-state regulations, is regarded as absurd.On the all-important question of reciprocity no change in the situation can be reported.Whether the missionary .work now being done among \u2018the Senators (is going to result in free lumber is not J three spans remain to be stripped.known, and Senator Fairanks and Mr.Dingley, who are the chief agents in \u2018these negotiations, have a great capacity for silence.So far as reciprocity is concerned, there can be no great press until the feeling of the Senate is thorouchly canvassed.Jt would be absurd to deny that there is hostility to reciprocity, and in the case of some extremists, like Senator Chandler, open and unconcealed aversion to any agreement.It is still believed, however, that this is not the feeling of the bulk of the Senators, and that the necessary votes can be secured for free lumber.The Gridiron Club, a famous organization of newspaper men, gives a dinner to the commissioners on Saturdav that will bring together a verv distinguished com- nany.The President and b's Cabinet, the Cuban generals mow in Washi igton, including Garcia, and the American war heroes, will be among the attractions.It is possible that Sir William Van Horne may come from Monttreal also, as he had promised to be a guest at the Gridiron and popular war.The advent to office of the Yamacata administration 18 con atrued in official circles here as indicating that Japan has come to the conclusion that it is useless to attempt to stem amy longer the strong tide of publie opinion, and has resolved unon provoking an immediate war with Russia in order to avoid both internal revolution: and the danger of eventual destruction by Russia when the latter has completed her trans-Siberian railrcad and her Pacific coast armaments.From a scientific standpoint, Japan is up to date.and the fiery little men would un- doubtedlv give a good account of themselves, especially om the water.The navy has been immensely improved since the war with China.Large purchases of guns and ships have been made, and they are of the latest patterns.Only recently have supplies of distilled spirits been bought in America and shipped to Japan for use in the manufacture of smokeless powder.Back to Point St.Charles.Mr.C.M.Hays, general manager of the Grand Trunk, and Mr.Reeve, traffic manager, and the other officials who were banquetted at Portland on Tuesday evening, returned to their offices at Point St.Charles yesterday morning.They speak in the highest terms of appreciation of the excellent feeling manifested by the citizens and public men of Portland towards the Grend Trunk.the Grand Trunk authorities to improve the port, which is the Atlantic terminus of their system, were recognized in the most handsome manner.that the cordial

1898.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 .Bonaventure Station Baggage Room Broken Into and Some Baggage Abstracted Thereirom A fortnight ago last Monday a good deal of excitement was caused at Bonaventure station of the Grand Trunk Company when the news spread that th: luggage room on the ground floor of the statiom had been broken into by burglars, and some of the baggage abstracted.The nature and extent of the loss could not be ascertained unt.] persons who hill deposited their luggage came forward to claim it, and until that wae done little hope could be entertained of tracing the culprits.The matter has, of course, since engaged the attention of the authorities, and it now transpires that the night inside watchman who had charge of the baggage room, as well as the rooms above, at night, has been suspended, and that he has been offered as an alternative to dismissal the post of gatekeeper at the small station of St.Henri.The watchman is an old employe of the company, who has served as watchman at Point St.Charles and Bonaventure dor some twenty years, and he bears the highest dharacter for integrity and devotion to duty.It is a curious fact, however, that neither the nor the watchman outside the building\u2014a eity policeman, who is understood to reccive extra remuneration of a dollar a day or so from the Grand Trunk for keeping his eye especially upon the statlon\u2014saw or any trace of the burglars, nor have the missing articles, which include a valise helonging to the general manager of the company, been Te- covered.Another ou'ious fact,is that the glass of the window by whidh the burglar or burglars are supposed to have entered was apparently shattered from the inside and not from the outside, as one would naturally expect, and the broken panes were scattered on the floor outside.No suspicion attaches to the watchmen, but the solution of the mystery is awaited with a considerable amount of interest.FAVORS OUR TRAVELLERS.Washington,

good deal of anxiety and excitement was caused among the colored population of Montreal when it was learned that the body of a colored man had been picked up on the New Fngland coast.apparently washed adhore with the wreckage of the lost steamer Portland.For the last fifteen years Thomas Wilson has been engaged in the Pullman service as a porter on one of the cars running between Montreal and Portland.He was one of the best known Puliman porters on the line.Last spring he left the service to take the position of steward on board the steamer Portland, rurming between Boston and Portland.Not unnaturally, the colored population here, by whom Wilson was well-known, concluded that his was the body of the colored man that had been washed ashore.It turns out, upon enquiry, however, that just

satisfaction during the last two days im recalling the fact that John L.Sullivan, throughout his stormy career as a boxer, was never identified with a fake contest.Sullivan had some very conspicuous faults which were inexcusable, but no one could ever say that he was dishonest or acted in bad faith in any of his matches toward the publie.Sullivan left that sort of thing to his successors.\u201d

talking of Eddie Connolly, with whom he fought a twenty-round draw in St.Louis Saturday night.\u2018Connolly was talking to me all the way through the fight, and tried more than once to catch me off my guard with his \u201ckiddi remarks,\u201d Kerwin continued.\u201cOnce he started to tell me a story about some pies his mother had made for him, and suddenly whipped into me with both hands.He asked me the most ridiculous auestions and tried to get me to laugh.Soon as I did he would make a rush at me.But I out-generalled him.In the third round I turned my back to him in the centre of the ring, and, like a flash, he led with his left.As he came I back-handed him with my left and almost dropped him, catching him full with my knuckles over the eye.It split the gyebroyr and caused him to lose a lot of DIOOd.PEDIGREE FOR CORBETT.According to a London cablegram the sporting paper Referee hands out some stiff passes to Corbett, whom it calls a \u201cmiserable, ungrateful slob, who b

that he felt confident of winning again this year.Then he added that he fears but one man, and that is Frederick, the Swiss champion, who pressed him to the finish in the seventy-two hour race which the American won in Paris in the summer.Frederick he regards as the hardest man to beat of all who are entered in Che torthcoming contest.John West, trainer of Miller, claims that the latter is in better condition now than he ever was before, and predicts that, barring accidents, he will again be an easy winner in the endurance contest.West also fears one man in the race, fut that one 18 not Frederick.1t is Burns Pierce, of Boston.West remembers the magnifi- vent struggle against overwhelming odds made by Pierce last year.He says he has positive knowledge that Pierce is now in record

artificial light.The unpleasant and injurious effect of working under this condition of lighting is well understood.In most czses, Luxfer Prisms can throw in daylight, and permit of the extinguishing of the gas or electric light.In some cases the window is such that all the lights cannot be put out, but even in such cases, Luxfers Prisms will assist in a measure well repaying, their cost.One thing much appreciated is that Luxfer lights give a diffused light throughout the premises\u2014 an effect which cannot possibly be secured bv any reasonable equipment for artificial Lighting.This is well illustrated at 1333 Notre Dame street.and indeed in any plece equipped by the Luxfer Prism Company.Isit Sty e?Is is comfort?Ts it quality?If you want all three combined, give us your order for an

Real Estate Owners\u2019 Association heid in the Monument National last night, it was decided to ask the City Council to pass a by-law stipulating that all buildings shall, as far as possible, be of uniform height.The real estate men who have identitied themselves with this movement of reform are Dr.I.J.Demers, who presided over the meeting, Hon.G.W.Stephens, Messrs.IS.Cunninz- ham, V.Gagnon, E.Lamontagne, F.Fri gon, A.Carmel, Z.Leroux, L.Michon, B.M.O.Turgeon, H.W.Prendergast, W.D.Patterson and A.Levesque.By obtaining uniformity in the height of buildings the object of the property owners have in view is to prevent the value of one building being depreciated by the height of another.It was also decided at the instance of Mr.Cunningham to press upon the Council the desirability of inserting a clause in the new charter providing that all persons employed or doing business within the limits of Montreal, but living outside the city should be assessed a special tax.The question of new and improved streets in the city was also under comsid- eration.Hon.G.W.Stephens expressed the opinion that the city should lay the sidewalks of the principal thoroughfares of flagstone, at least four feet wide in the centre of the sidewalk, with composite sides, similar to those on Dorchester street west with curbstone and gutters and stone or brick crossings at cor ners, and should also grade and macadamize the street unless the majority of the proprietors in the street@petitioned for asphalt, brick, granite or scoria paving.The proprieters on earch s'de of the street ought, he thought, to be charged according to frontage, under the same procedure for the collection of the costs.The city ought, he thought, at the same time, to lay the water mains, hydrants and water connections to each lot at the cost of the city.The city, Mr.Stephens contended, ought to notify all the different electric lighting, power and telephone companies that if they desired to put up wires in the new streets the work should be done at the time the streets were beinz laid out.Germany Threatened.Berlin, Dec.2.\u2014In Government circles there is an intense fecling against the Aus- triam Premier, Count Thun-Hohenstein, because of his recent speech in the Austrian Reidhsrath regarding the expulsion of Austrians from Gemnany, in the course of which he threatened Germany with reprisals if the expulsions were continued.| It is understood that after the jubilee | festivities, Emperor Francis Joseph will be informed from Berlin that Count Thun- Hohensteim\u2019s continuance in office
