by the Rev.D.Eddy, of East Orange, Rachel Blaikie and George Edward Sterry.\u201d .The other paper took the form of an open letter, and ran thus: \u2018Manhattan Square Hotel, May 19, 1908.To whom it may concern: The coroner first, I pre- stme.I took solemn oath (to myself) that my father should never disgrace the meory of my sainted mother.There is not a bit of selfishness in me.Had my father engaged himself to a lady of mature age, I would most certainly bid him good luck and trust He would live forever.I certainly always desired a long and happy life for my \u201cold man\u201d\u2014 a term which I frequently and affectionately.-used to him.It is now 11 o\u2019clock.May 19.Now, no one is in my confidence, and my brothers may draw a conclusion or may form an opinion of the matter.There is a point which strikes me as particularly interesting.While riding down on the Ninth avenue elevated, I cast glances on those around me, as they doubtless did on me.The thought which I desire to convey is this, how many thousands would have started \u2018from me had they known the prominent captions my double crime would warrant.There is a comical and laughable end to this.I would willingly give $500 to Rachel Blaikie to hear the beautiful and touching prayer for the salvation of my soul she will offer up.Of course, I am under a violent strain, and many of my sentences may not be grammatical] and many sentences may be crude.Tv seems to me that God has told me to do what I propose doing.I have prayed to God not less than twenty times a day to show me some way out of this trouble, and I truthfully believe he has shewn me the proper way to save my family from disgrace.\u201d (Signed), George E.Steery, jr.\u2018Another point I desire to mention: Two seconds after my father starts 1 will follow, as the poor old man needs a guide and a guardian.Should he run across some of the bunch from East | Orange we will guide up a side street.Miss Blaikie, who makes her \u201cHome with the family of Charles H.Clark, a New York broker, in a fashionable section of East Orange.has a wide circle of friends in Newark, New York and Orange.She is a daughter of the late Prof.William Blaikie, who was for many vears a member of the New York legal fraternity, and was long counsel for Mrs.Hetty Green.Prof.Blaikie was a native of Harrisburg, Rg.where the family was well known socially for many years.Subsequently the Blaikies removed to this city.MAY BE A KIDNAPPER McCARTHY, THE SAFE-BLOWER, IS WANTED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.Edward McCarthy, one of the suspected safe-blowers, arrested at Coteau Junction last Saturday morning by Detectives Samson, Cowan and Viens, of the city detective force, and Detective Brosseau, of the provincial force, is also accused of being a kidnapper.He is ncw wanted in Campbellton, N.B., to answer to a charge of kidnapping Ernest McAllister, a nine-year-old boy, from his home in Campbellton, N.B., in 1898 and of taking him to Toronto.The boy was arrested on the street there for begging, and when he was taken before the magistrate he said he had been kidnapped and made to beg by Ma- Carthy.A year later the boy died in a hospital from consumption, brought on by exposure and neglect.About this time McCarthy Was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary : A a to a young school teacher of Brooklyn, | It was nearly | casual } PR Lat ada a he said my fing the arm.TR ERIN Ly es EI Zam-Buk Cures cuts, burns, \u2018chafines, itch, eczema, running sores, ringworm, piles, bad legs, poisoned wounds and ali skin diseases.3¥4 All druggists and stores, soc., or postpaid from Zam- Buk Co., Toronto.A ARAL IB TONE TL Co Local Wholesale Depot, 144 Craig Street West.Montreal, Montreal \u2018Daily Witness,\u201d May 20 1908.RE RE RE OST ME à A AND DE ete AEN ;

Charged at Cincinnati With Murdering His Wife at Fielding, Sask.Fielding, Sask., May 20.\u2014Henry Stein- berg, the Boston scenic artist, who came here with his young wife eighteen months ago, and disappeared suddenly last year, when Mrs.Steinberg died under mysterious circumstances, is under arrest at Cincinnati, Ohin, charged with murder.His arrest followed the report made to the coroner's jury by the Regina chemists, who examined the vital organs removed from the body, which was exhumed three weeks ago.The Mounted Police began to look for Stein- berg as soon as the rumors of foul play crystallized to such an extent that at was thought advisable to open the grave and hold an inquest.After inquiries had been made in Boston, from whence the couple came, and other American cities, the fugitive was lccated in Cincinnati, where he had married a girl he knew in Boston previous to his marriage.The police of the Ohio metropolis were urged to keep him under surveillance until the organs of the dead woman could be submitted to a chemical analy:is.The coroner's jury received this raport last week.It showed traces of arsenic.and the authorities decided to act.The Mounted Police got busy, and a wire vesterday announced that Steinberg was under arrest at Cincinnati.The motive for the crime is thought to he some five hundred dollars possessed by the wife, and the desire to be free to marry the woman he 1: now said to he living with.The Steinbergs came here two vears ago and took up a homestead in the Green Blutl district.The accused seenied to be a man of education.The settlement where they lived is occupied largely by European foreigners and the alleged crime therefore was revealed very slowly.The ' \"Meunted Police finaily heard the rumors concerning the wav Mrs.Steinberg died, end finally concluded to hold the inquest.They are said to have woven a strong chain of circumstantial evidence about the fugitive.MR.LAMARCHE PRESIDENT RESULT OF THE REFORM CLUB

SHOPS.Dispute in Winnipeg May at any Moment Precipitate Strike Here.BOTH SIDES REMAIN FIRM ON JURISDICTION OF ARBITRATION BOARD.The possibility of a strike is being openly discussed by the workmen at the Angus shops, among whom there is cop- many men having been put off since the beginning of the year.The men are showing the greatest sympathy with the western mechanics in their dispute with the C.P.R,, and, as a result of the recent federation of all the mechanical employees of the system, there seems little doubt that, east and west, they will stand or fall together.The hitch which has developed on the question as to whether the Arbitration Board now meeting in Winnipeg shall act simply for the western employees instead of for those of the whole system, 14 still undecided.As this involves the question as to whether the unions shall dictate to the C.P.R., or the C.P.R.dictate to the unions, 1% mav at any moment precipitate a strike, and in any case, even if this preliminary question be settled satisfactorily, the union leaders declare there will be a general strike if the decision of the arbitrators hapnens to run counter to the union scale of wages\u2014which 1s cxactly what the C.P.R.1s fighting against.Meanwhile, the C.P.R.management stands firm on the preliminary question.It claims that under the terms of the act the Arbitration Board can onlv consider what was directly placed before the minister on the ap- phication.It is stated that under no circumstances will the company eon- sent to a consideration of matters outside the class of men directly affected, and outside those on the western division.The men, on the other hand, appear to be equally firm in their demand that the cases of the allied em- nloyees shall be united with that of the machinists in the dispute, and they also desire that the board's jurisdiction shall be extended over the Kast>rn division.Until a decision is reacied by the chairman of the board as to what scope its inquiry will embrace, no further progress can be made.DIOCESAN COLLEGE \u2014 CORPORATION HELD ANNUAL MEETING YESTERDAY.The corporation of the Montreal Dio- I cesan Theological College held its annual meeting

DO IT.| The Extraordinary Unavailing Methods Followed in a Supposed Attempt to Repair Craig Street.Whenever it comes to a question of repairing the section of Craig street be- {ween St.Alexander and St.Peter streets\u2014one of the most important us far as traffic is concerned, the Road Department can, and always does, give one of its famous demonstrations of \u2018How not to do it.\u2019 It is only a small piece of roadway, but it is a large piece of evidence of the way the department goes about some of its work.The pavement in question is asphalt, in which, on either side of the car tracks, there is a series of large holes.When the Department has on hand any spare refuse in the shape of brick ends, stone cuttings, etc., it sends along a few cartloads and dumps them into the aforesaid holes, and the services of the men and the teams are entered up in the office books as having been de- veted to \u2018road repairs.\u2019 These \u2018repairs\u2019 have been going on since last spring, and the holes are gaping as ever, and while the department is rubbing its Innocent head in amazement at the \u2018large quantity of material it takes lo \u201crepair\u201d that little asphalted part of Craig street,\u201d the horses driven over the thoroughfare kick those brick- ends out of the holes which the wheels of the vehicles do not crush into dust.Workmen in the same department, but belonging to another section, are at the same time given a great deal of labor in sweeping out the water\u2014and most of the material\u2014from thë Koles after every rainfall.Asphalt repairing plants are brought into requisition on St.James and Bleury streets.and on others in the immediate neighborhood, but it never dawns on the Department that the plant at the same time might be well employed in repairing Craig street, SHIPPING NEWS THE HIGH WATER.Days.Harbor.Ship channel.Monday.25 Ît.5 in.40 ft.10 in.Tuesday .25 ft.6 in.40 ft.11 in.Wednesday .25 Ît.4 in.40 ft.9 jo.The

WITNESS SEATS COLLAPSED.\u2014 Twenty-One Persons Injured at a Charity Circus in Chicago.\u2014\u2014 Chicago, May 20.\u2014Twenty-one persons were injured, many of them seriously, and hundreds narrowly escaped death last night, at a performance of the Charity Circus, Oak Park avenue and 33rd street, Berwin, when all the seats in the tent suddenly gave way and crashed to the ground.lt was the opening night of this latest diversion of Chicago society, and the tent was packed with more than five bundred spectators when the accident occurred.In the panic which followed, scores of women were trampled upon.The quick work of several men in the audience and of the circus performers prevented the injury of many more.The accident was caused by a scramble of spectators to obtain sample packages of a brand of breakfast food which were being thrown from the arena by a young woman who was taking part in the circus.THEATRE DES NOUVEAUTES CASE DEVELOPED INTERESTING FEATURES IN COURT YESTERDAY.An important point was raised yesterday in connection with the liquidation of the Compagnie des Théatres de Montreal, proprietor of the Théatre des Nouveautés.Upon the demand of the liquidator, certain shareholders and others were called before the court tol be examined as witnesses, with a view to more nearly ascertaining the position of the company.Mr.A.Valiquette was in the witness box, under examination by Mr.Perron, counsel for the liquidator, when Mr.(+.Desaulniers, as attorney for the witness, objected to one of the questions put to him.Mr.Perron thereupon objected to his confrere\u2019s intervention in the matter, alleging that he had no rizht to meddle with the examination of the witness.Mr.Justice Lafontaine, who presided, upheld the position taken by Mr.Per ron, on the ground that this was not, a case in which issues were raised between contending parties, and a witness had no right to be supported by counsel.Mr.Desaulniers was not disposed to accept the view taken by the Court, and he moved for an adjournment of twentv- four hours, so as to see what course he would adopt.He argued that the point raised was most important, as It Involved a privilege of the Bar to represent clients asking advice and support.Messrs.H.Gervais and L.P.Berard were also present to look after the interests of other witnesses called.Counsel referred to included the Batonnien of the district and a member of parliament, and he was sure the Court would grant the demand for an adjournment, 50 as to allow the matter to be placed before the Council of the Bar.The Court asked Mr.Perron whethen he would consent to an adjournment, but that gentleman declared that he could not do so and had to go on.The examination of the witness was then ordered to proceed, but as it was noon, Mr.Desaulniers made another motion for an adjournment to 2 p.m.which was granted.At the afternoon session, Messrs.R.J.Demers and L.J.Gagne, the two directors against whom criminal proceedings have been instituted, were called, but they were not in court, and Mr.Desaunlniers again asked for an adjournment.Mr.Perron objected, insisting that those witnesses should be summoned at once, and hinting that they were probably kept out of the way by some one.Mr.Desaulniers challenged his confrere to specify whom he referred to when he claimed that some one had kept the witnesses out of the court, and he added that, seeing Mr.Perron was so anxious to go on, he would have them: summoned at once, and asked that courb be suspended till they should arrive.The hour being advanced, the Court thought it more advisable to adjourn, the learned judge observing, however, that their abrence was likely to convey the impression to the foreigners interested in the case that people here had po respect for the court, and he hoped such a thing would not occur again.Alphonse Valiquette, formerly a shareholder, testified that he had advanced the company several thousand dollars, so that it might be able to meet ita liabilities.The company still owed him $1,000 on a note.This witness added that Mr.R.J.Demers kept borrowing all the time.in order to pay the members of the stock company, as the re turns were not sufficient to meet the expenses of the theatre, and he had al- wavs shown himself ready to do everv.thing possible in his desire to satisfw the pennle who had instituted criminal proceedings against hjm.; The Theatre des Nouveautes closed its doors on Monday night, it having been decided to bring the season to an end, as a snfficient amount had been realized since the liquidation to pay off all arrears in salary dne to the members of the stock company.some of whom intended leaving by the Allan liner \u2018Pari- sjan\u2019 to-dav.ENTERTAINMENT BY PIPERS.The pipers

diseases being a very necessary institution to safeguard the public health, as well as to furnish 1 proper refuge for the patient, Dr.T.G.Rod- dick welcomed 1is Excellency, whose presence was always Inspiring in every good work.Dr.Roddick said that to the enterprise and well-directed efforts of the Hon.Lionel and Mrs.Guest, the evening's entertainment, with its resulting benefit to the funds of the hospital, was largely due.The programme of entertainment was a capital vaudeville performance, 1n- cluding an exhibition of children\u2019s dancing by the pupils of Prof.F.H.Norman; the eccentric conductorship of Genaro and the delightful music of his Gondolier Band; an exhibition of fencing by Sergt.-Major Long, of the M.A.A.A.with two assistants; impersonations by Gracie Leonard; musical selections by the Watts Trio: the Veterans\u2019 Song, by Mr.C.Edwards; the humor of Messrs.Cameron and Flannigan: and moving pictures loaned by Messrs.Gau- vreau and Larose.At the table of honor, the
