the Misses Flore Gaudry and Emma St.Louis.The affair created a lot of interest in the talian colony of which Mr, Dini, sr., is a prominent member, and the church was crowded with guests and friends of the families long before the bridal party arrived, at about half-past eight.The Rev.Father Caramello, S.J., pas- r of the Italian colony, performed the emony, and eang low mass, during ich the

Site Approved by Irish Protestant Benevolent Society.Lieut.-Col.Burland announces that many subscriptions are being received.The following resolution was unanimously passed at a nwnerously attend ed meeting of the Irisi¥ Protestant Benevolent Society held in their rooms in Belmont Park last evening: \u2018Resolved that the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, having learned that a movment is on foot to establish a dispensary uun- sis League at No.47 Belmont Park wish to place on record their hearty approval of such a dispensary and the work for which it is intended.The meeting had been called specially to consider what action the society should take in view of the opposition raised in some quarters to the establishing of such a dispensary at Be:mont Park.Mr.Joseph Percival, president, occupied the chair.Little discussion was necessary, as the members present all evidently approved of the project, and felt that their society, formed as it was for benevolent and humane purposes, should place itself on record to that effect.Lt.-Col.Burland was also present as a member of the society.and gave a brief explanation of the nature and work of the proposed dispensary, as well as the events which had Jed him to take so keen an interest in the fight against the white plague, and he was heartily applauded by the members of the society.In closing, he remarked that the reports of their collector showed that so far nearly five hundred subscriptions had bzen received.The widespread nature of the interest in the movement was shown by the fact that many of these subsriptions came from factory employees and tenants of small houses, who promised a dollar a year for five years, while nearly 50 percent of those subscribing were French-Canadians.The letters by Drs.Lachapelle, Adami and others published in the \u2018Witness\u2019 vesterday, approving of the site, were read at the meeting.SOCIALISTS DIVIDE, At a meeting of the Workingmen\u2019s Political

BEHALF.Judge Piché was not in a mood to be trifled with yesterday, and, as a result, a jail official, a peace officer, and a lawyer came under the lash during the proceedings of the Court of Special Sessions.In .acquitting Alphonse.Marquis, | Judge Piché remarked that the lawyer for the defendant had no: done his duty.because he did not mention facts in the accused's defence which the court had found necessary to establish by other means.His Honor declared that, owing to the negligence of the advocate for the defence, the court had been given extra trouble in conducting an independent investigation on behalf of the prisoner.This was the same case which caused Judge Piché last week to condemn one of the members of the city detective force for having searched the accused's house without a search-warrant.The jail official was castigated for not having Marquis on hand when his name was called, while the peace officer felt the sting of a few caustic remarks for the performance of duty in à slovenly manner.MILITARY MUSIC \u2014 CONCERT GIVEN BY \u2018THE BAND OF THE 31H KeGIMENT.The Band of the 63th Regiment gave à coucert In the Dtanley Hau last even- 1g, 10 honor of St.Cecina, the patron saint of music.Under the direction of Prof.J.J- Goulet, the band gave several selections, the must pleasing, perhaps, being the \u2018Hymne anglo-kFraucals, which was composed by Villermin, to celebrate the entente cordiale between Britain and France, and 1n which the melodies of the British National Anthem and the \u2018Marseillaise\u2019 are skilfully interwoven, and \u2018La tille du Tambour Major,\u2019 Mosai- que (Offenbach), which was deservedly applauded.Several other selections were given, but were hardly suitable for indoor concert work.The singing of Miss Charlotte Gunn, who possesses a very light soprano voice, wae marred by faulty enunciation, but her rendering of Massinet\u2019's \u2018Air de Salome\u2019 (Hérodiade) gained the sympathy of the audience.Mesers.M.P.Desremouchamps and M.E.Haseneier, jr., gave a duet for flute and clarionette, which was skilfully executed.Miss Dora Becker, of New York, gave several violin selections, the best of which was Hubay's \u2018Fantaiee.\u2019 Her other selections, however.were somewhat ambitious, and somewhat disappointing.Miss Edith Reid played the accompaniments in a delightful manner, giving evidence of music culture, and her performance wae much appreciated.At the conclusion of the concert the hall was cleared for dancing, which was indulged in for eome hours, to the music of the band.MR.DALY ON THE BENCH.Winnipeg, Nov.24.\u2014The Hon.T.M.Daly will return to the bench of the city Police Court on Thursday.Mr.Daly resigned his place as police magistrate to make his now famous

L.Pierce, assistant secretary of the Laymen\u2019s Mis- slonary Movement, New York; Mr.J.N.Shenstone, Toronto, and the Rey.Dr.Johnston and Mr, D.A.Budge.It was the original intention of the committee that arranged the programme to have Mr.Charles M.Hays, general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, preside, but as he is in England his regrets were sent and conveyed to the meeting through the chairman, Mr.Kingman explained that the object of the Laymen\u2019s Movement was not to ask those who were doing their best to do more than they should, but to enlist those who were doing nothing, or very little.If they possessed something of value that others did not have it was their duty to share it with those who were less fortunate.There were business and humane reasons as well as spiritual reasons for supporting missions, Mr.Lyman J.Pierce said he found it rather embarrassing to speak to a company of men belonging to a church that was already giving nearly seventeen dollars per head to missions, and urge them to do more.However, as there were stil] 675,000,000 heathen who had not yet heard the gospel it was felt that the time had come for the men to grapple with the problem and do something in earnest.The Laymen\u2019s Movement tried to reach and influence to generosity the eighty percent of church members who were giving nothing to missions._ Mr.Pierce considered that the givings to church work at home was out of proportion to the support given to missions, and the latter should be brought up to a more respectable figure.Men were offering for the foreign field faster than money was being contributed for their eupport.Mr.D.À.Budge followed Mr.Pierce, and gave figures to show what was being done in Canada, and in Montreal in particular, by the different denominations.He said that in Montreal last year \u2018twenty-three Anglican \u2018 churches 817,902, or $245 per member; fifteen Methodist churches gave $17,792, or $2.50 per member; five Baptist churches gave, $1,270, or $2.22 per member; five Congregational churches gave $3,340, or $2.87 per member; seventeen Presbyterian churches gave $39,057, or $3.96 per member.The American Presbyterian Church in this city gave $15,264, an average of 818.90 per member.The general average of the Presbyterian Church in Canada represented 3 1-2 cents per member, or less than a car fare per year for each member.Mr.J.N.Shenstone, who is s0 much interested in the movement that he travels all over the Dominion at his own expense addressing meetings on mission work, and is one of the most liberal contributors in the denomination to which he belongs, stated that in Toronto on the previous evening 171 atu- dent volunteers had signified their readiness to go to the foreign field as soon as the funds were available to send and support them.The movement called men to pray, give, study and work.Was it worth while to work, to save and to give for such a cause?He thought it was.The Rev.Dr.Johnston made à brief and earnest address, in which he expressed his pleasure at seéing the large num- her present.and the deep interest shown in the work.He also thanked the speakers from a distance, and others who had contributed to the success and enjoyment of the evening.Then he dismissed the assembly with the benediction.No Pain with Red Blood Get your blood right by using

LAYMEN\u2019S MOVEMENT OONGRESS AT TORONTO MAY BE Ab- DRESSED BY SIR ROBT.HART.A meeting of Methodist ministers and laymen having tor \u2018their object the ad vancement of the missionary movement, was held in the Dominion Square Methodist Church last might, under the presidency of Mr.W.H.Goodwin, Mr.C.C.Holland referred to the growth of the laymen s nussionary movement in Montreal since the big meeting in the King's Hall last winter, and said it was the duty of those present to put the case to the members of the Methodist Church and get them to sub- grand object, ; \u2018The chairman said one of the ques tions for the meeting to decide was thodist Church to on May 1 The Rev.Dr.Young stated that St.James Church was following along the lines suggested by the promoters of the laymen\u2019s missionary movement, and his church hoped to give from $3,600 to $4,000 this year to the fund raised for the progression of the movement.The meeting decided that the Ministerial Association be requested to arrange to set aside a certain Sunday for a simultaneous missionary service in the city churches, and that they be asked that laymen of other denominations be approached to occupy pulpits in Methodist churches on the posed to be used for such purpose.Mr.Calhoun promised to prepare a list of laymen who would be available for such a Sunday, and he will submit it to the Ministerial Association.Two motions which were suggested by Mr.D.A.Budge, that church members above 18 years of age, be indexed.and that a personal canvass be considered by the general committee, with the object of increasing the donations to the movement were carried, and will, therefore, be recommended to the missionary executive committee of the Methodist Church for adoption.Mr.Budge eaid the Presbyterian Church throughout Canada intended to try and .increase their donations to the missionary work to $5 per member per year, and he felt sanguine this would be accomplished by educating the people to a realization of their responsibilities and by personal canvass.With a view to augmenting the funds for the missionary movement, it was resolved that the weekly envelope system should be recommended for adoption in the Methodist churches.Mr.Arthur Bell was appointed to work in cô-operation with the general committee to see to the distribution of educational work in the mission department of the churches.considered that at this congress the movement would be given a great impetus, as it was believed that several eminent men of Great Britain and America would deliver addresses which, he had no doubt, would prove inspiring to the delegates.Sir Robert Hart, he said, would ,be approached to address the gathering.The meeting closed with the benediction, pronounced by the Rev.E.1.art.AUTO DRIVER SUSPECTED OF KILLING TWO MEN.Ossining, N.Y., Nov.24\u2014 Edward Brewerton, of Ossining, was arrested today on suspicion of being the automobile driver who last Saturday

brakeman, 1s generally considered to have been responsible ior the disaster at Dandbanks, near Ponty- pool, one trainman who was in it blames the C.P.R.company, claiming that the switch lights were not lit, and that if they had been, the accident would not have occurred, as the crews of both trains would have been able to see that the switch was set wrong.| \u2018These switch lights were not lit for four nights,\u2019 said he.\u2018There was no oil for them.\u201cThe company is trying to cut down expense.They send a barrel of oil to one of those wayside stations and expect it to do for a year.\u2018Another thing you might tell the people is that the trainmen are bur: dened with too much work.Conductors are required to fill in too many forma and papers.I eat in the van, but never get the time to chew my food.It\u2019s always a jump to the window, and a watchful eye ahead.Let the commission get busy and give the men a chance.They are overworked.If a man comes in now and books for a rest, the call boy is after him before he gets a chance to rest up.\u2019 ARE CONDUCTORS OVERWORKED?uile a wuerent complexion is put on Lue matter py other ra:iiway men.44 1L us à laci, they say, that there wus not suthiclient oil, or nat lhe switcu Lgl were not lt for four nights, then it wus the duty of the men to report this to the officials, on whom the sole responsi- buity would then have rested.\u2018Lhe fact that the switch lights were not lit ought to have been at once reported to the local agent, and by him to the train despatcher at l'oronto, and this the men well knew.As to the complaint that the conductors had no time even to eat, owing to having to rush to the windows, It was pointed out that there was nothing to prevent him taking his food in the cupola of the car, where he could sit in perfect comfort and have a clear view all round.Besides, he was not alone, for he always was able to command the assistance of the brakemen.With regard to the claim that conductors are overworked, and not allowed sufficient rest, it was pointed out that every conductor was entitled to eight hours\u2019 rest after every rum, and nobody could make him work until he had had that eight hours\u2019 rest.The trouble was, however, that many conductors were so keen after the dollars that they would not allow themselves this rest, but were always clamoring to be put on another run as quickly as poesible, eo that they might make more money.A law absolutely prohibiting conductors from working excent after the proper period of rest would be a good thing.However.in the case of the present accident, the question of overwork did not apply.the resnonsibility evidently resting entirely with the mirsing brakeman, who was supposed to have closed the switch for thr main line.and did not do eo.\u2018Railway comnanies are altogether too sensitive ta public opinion.and feel too mneh thoir own resnonsibility to the ~nblic\u2019 added one trainman.\u2018to wanton- le risk accidents hy

to be nearer the solution of the mvstery regarding the death of Andrew Fox, whose body was found in the road on St.James street shortly after midnight last Thursday.Detectives engaged in the case have learned that after Fox left two companions opposite the Charity Organization Society\u2019s premises on Bleury street at twenty minutes paet twelve o'clock he was dragged by a sleigh from the corner of Bleury and Craig streets to St.James street, a little west of St.David\u2019s Lane, where his dead body was found a: twenty minutes to one.The driver.it is thought, was so drunk that he did not observe a man had been entangled in the runners of his sleigh until he turned around in St.James street, after a man had remarked to him, \u2018The man is bleeding.\u2019 The man who spoke to the sleigh- driver, as Fox lay dead in the road, has not yet come forward.6 pg DEAN FARTHING ACCEPTS THE BISHOPRIC OF MONTREAL.Cordial Letter From the Bishop-Elect Read this Morning to the

the delegates interrupted Dr.Davidson, the vice-chancellor, who was proceeding to move a formal resolution, by standing up and in unison singing the Doxology.SOME POINTS OF DIFFERENCE.4 a Dr.Davidson
