Thore has liecn nothing talked about in this eity for Homo linya but the mystory connected with the death of H. Benhayon. The newspapers have been loaded down with pages of testimony, taken before the coroner's jury, which have been greedily devoured by all those who havo the time for suoh work. To the more busy part of the community the condensations which, while following steadily the narrative, present all the points in a clear and succinct shape, have heen in the nature of a boon. The terrible story cannot be said to present American features. It reads like something that had happened in Paris or London. Many of the characters who figure in it are not easily recognizable as the products of our civilization,' The sensation caused by the death of Benhayon depends an the light in which it is viewed in connection with a murder equally starling, committed some time ago. Benhayon is the brother of Mrs. Bowers, for the murder of whom by poison J. Milton Bowers, her husband, is now under sentence of death. The motive for the atrocious deed was supposed to be a life insurance to the extent of about seventeen thousand dollars on Mrs. Bowers' life, made payable to the husband. The confession alleged to have been left by Benhayon' states that it wu he and not the husband who poisoned his sister, and his motive was to get the same insurance, whioh had been transferred to him. The first aspect of the case was a suicide brought about either by remorse or tlie loss of a memorandum- book in which the evidence of his crime was noted, the agent used for tho destruction of life being cyanide of potassium. If this should be finally determined to be the true version of the case, Bowers, who was convicted on. circumstantial evidence, will necessarily be pardoned, and will receive the $17,000 for which his wife's life was insured. But tho theory of tho suicide has been strongly doubted from the beginning, There is no legal evidence that Mrs. Bowers ever transferred the policies on her life to her brot- tlier, Benhayon. The manner iu which the body was found suggested the idea that death was not caused by himself. He appeared to have been carefully laid out. Thore was no disturbance observable in the apartment There is also a good deal of mystery connected with the hiring of the room. Persons more or less incomprehensible appear at various stages of the thrilling drama. Cyanide of potassium, a few days before the murder or suicide, was obtained by one of these persons. On the other hand, exports affirm that the confession of Benhayon is in his handwriting. If these conclusions should be established the theory of suicide would be greatly strengthened. But this class of testimony no longer holds the place in tho courts formerly uccorded to it. Beside, his mother denies vehemently that the confession was in her son's handwriting. Whatever may bo the solution of the tangled and bloody skein, it is quite clear that tho curtain has been lifted on scenes, tragedies and actors of which tho public heretofore had little knowledge. If the popular notion should be realized, we have among a individuals quite as bad as the Borgias, to whom human life is nothing whon it stands in their way, A loose system of life insurance, in tins case amounting, ns already stated, to $17,000, is the thread by which the terrible narrative hangs, no matter from what point it is viewed. It is that pile of gold which, according to the verdict of the courts, induced Bowers to jjnisou his wife. Again, in the suu'iritr theory, it is assigned ns tire cause which prompted Benhayon to poison his sister, lt will finally fall to the condemned Bowers, if under the new resolutions lie should bo given Iris liberty. It is quite evident, no matter whatever is the outcome, that something will have to Ire doiie to check these loose forms of life insurance which offer premiums for crimes of tho most atrocious character.âÂ»S F.

Newhavin, Oonn.,Nov. 4.âA singular aud romantic story came out today in the course of a legal hearing before Judge Andrews in the Superior Court. A motion was made to sell certain stocks belonging to the estate of Robert Sproule, late of British Columbia. Sproule was the agent for a Connecticut company engaged in working a mine on the other side of the American line. He was charged with muider, and the company advanced him $1800 to defend himself, and he gave his stock to the company as security. He wae sentenced to bo hanged, and after five respites by the Canadian government, the sentence was carried into execution. It is claimed now the government hanged the wrong man. ANOTHER CAFE WAR. . London, Nov. 4.âA despatch from Durban (Natal), says it ia reported that a skirmish had takeu place at Dinizula between the natives and the British troops, in which three of the latter wero killed. A NEWSPAPER CANARD. WAsnisriTON, Nov. 4!'âA bold attempt was made this evening to blow up Chief Justice Waite with what has the appearance of being an infernal machine. The machine was delivered to liriii at (1:30 p.m. by a special pott office mail messenger. The box is about six inches long and half inch in depth. It had printed on one ond, " Beauties of Tennyson," and on the oovor wns addrossed as follows: '- To tho Hon. Chief Justice Waite, No. 1415, I street, N. W. Important papers." The box contained a glass tube in tho shape of a syphon about eight inches long, and bent about three inehea from the end. The tubo is three-eights of an inch in diameter, or thereabouts, the size of an ordinary percussion o.ip, filled with giant powder oxtendiHg for 11 inches, on the top of which ia another cap. To this cap is attached a smnll wiro and to that is attached a second wire. This second wire was attached ttr the top of the box by a hook fastened to tho top of the box. The remainder of tho tube contains a dark colored liquid. Around tlio shorter end of tlie tube is a wrapping of white paper, bold in position by mucilage, the contents of which is as yet unknown. When Ohief Justice Waite received the box, he immediately opened it. By a provi- dentinl dispensation, the wire which was attached to the cap, became detacher!, and tho lid of the box was removed without pressing upon the cap. It is snpposcil that in stamping the hex tlie wire bad become detached, thus saving the life nf the chief justice. Tire u'nlice were notified of Ihe receipt of the uili'god iufemal machine, and it is iinrv at the polico headquarters. The police claim to have some knowledge nf tho mailing of tho bux, mid sny thnt a man wa, scon nhnut 4 p.m. addressing the box to the chief justice in the city postoffice. They havo no accurate description of the mail, and beyond tire facts stated can, givo no further information. Later.âS. G. Hopkins, the journalist wli<r professed to have discovered a pint In blow up Chief Justice Waite, confessed this afternoon that he con- crrolcd the whole scheme for tho purpose of selling the story to the newspapers.

Tlie contractors have not been paid for work done, and the rails are lying scattered all the way from Port Arthur. Many people seem to suspect Mr. Norquay of insincerity. One of the American sealers whoso vessel was seized in Behring's Sea said the other day to n newspaper reporter that the result of tho government's action would probably be the placing of American scald's under the Canadian flag. It has been shown by experience that British vessels get more consideration from the U. S. government in the seal fisheries than American vessels, While the Canadian schooners have been ordered to be released, the American schooners still remain in custody, with very little prospect of either release or compensation for the serious losses sustained. The II. S. government feels secure in ignoring the rights of its own subjects, but does not dure to trifle with those of a groat power like Britain. If it be true, as stated in â¢ despatch yesterday, that the new admiral of the north Pacific will take war vessels to Behring's Sea and resist by force the illegal seizure of any British sealers, the situation may become uncommonly interesting next season. It is not probable, however, that any hostile nets will be committed on either side over the seals. After what has already passed, IT. S. authorities will hardly be insane enough to repeat the high- banded proceedings of the past two yean in Behring's Sea.

U.âSecond Wednesday of onoh month, rj lr.trr., basoinent of llaptlst Ohuroh; A case was recently tried at Edmonton, N. W. T., which gives one tha impression that tbe half-breeds beyond the mountains have a very confused notion of the value of human life or the tics of relationship. Two men were tried for the murder of Marie Courtereille. The two men were father and son and the victim was the father's wife. It appears that she had shown signs of insanity, and had manifested a disposition to kill her husband and step-son for the avowed purpose of eating them. For a long time she had to be watched day and night. Finally they tied her with a rope; but she seems to have been strong enough to break loose in spite of their precautions. One night she got away and grabbed her husband violently. The two men asked her if she was brave enough to die, to which she replied in the affirmative. They then told her they would pray for ker when they came to the first church, and pay enough to get her past trouble in the next world; and with this generous assurance they murdered her with axes in a most brutal way. The two men were found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to six years at hard labor. The sentence seems to us altogether out of proportion to the offenceâ the; ought to have been hanged. Aftec tjie adjournment of the interprovincial conference, the delegates were entertained at dinner by Hon. Mr. Mercier, premier of Quebec. After dinner a number of speeches were made referring to the work accomplished. From these speeches we gather that the conference has been very successful. Hon. Mr. Mowat laid he had never boon connected with a body of men who manifested more ability, candor or patriotism than the members of tlie conference. The deliberation seem to have been carried on with the utmost harmony. Speaking as to the subjects discussal, Hon. Mr. Norquay said: "Amongst the numerous propositions of vital importance which are comprised in the series of resolutions unanimously adopted by this conference and signed by every one of its members, I am happy to state that the autonomy of the provinoe* ha* been most positively asserted a* the real basis of our form of government and the only guarantee of its maintenance. The propoaed modification! upon which we nan agreed will no doubt meet the views of the intelligent portion of the community and the true friends of our common country. The very difficult question ot the financial position of the provinoe* and their renective claims has been satisfactorily- dealt with, and after a thorough and unprejudiced disoussion of the matter tie delegates to tho conference have come to a conclusion which, if carried out, will meet the requirements of the various province* without detriment to the general interest* of the Dominion." It ia (toted that the resolutions passed by the conference will be made publio in a few days, when the people will have an opportunity to judge of the wisdom of the conclusions reached. II is not unlikely that the*eresolutions may form material j for considerable discussion in the Canadian house of commons when it next assembles. The Saloon's Kindred Evils. The saloon element docs nut stand ns only a representative of intemperance in strong drink, but it is representative of immorality and crime. A temperance movement directed solely against the saloon will full short of accomplishing the desired aim. There aro kindred evils thnt must bo removed âevils that support the saloon and with a subtler, though nu less Btroug influence, outer pluces accorded respectability, and are thus shielded from impeachment or protest. Immorality, in whatovor gnrb of respectability it may be clothed, and tho more concealed tho worse, is an evil forming tho basis on which ovory saloon is established. There is a subtle influence pervading the entiro social fabric which, at least tacitly, favors the saloon because both are joined in immorality, eiichsupplemonting the othor. Tho temperance movement lias been a blessing, yet it is not broad enough. It should he a mural movement, bent on removing tho social disorders which underlie tlio saloon. These are the fields from which the saloons grow ns grain. The romovul of the saloon will not ontiroly romove them, but their destruction will be the destruction of every vestige of intemperance It is in this social substrata that the whisky interest is entrenching itself. Placing its faith in this, it has moved along in the line of consolidation and organization, resulting in a national union, a kind of civil or political compact, presenting to existing parties tlio support of its voting and financial strength. As a political factor its strength is becoming most alarming, and the tendency of political parties to court its support by heeding its dictates is humiliating and disheartening. Members of both prominent parties have endured much hoping for favorable action by their respective organizations; but a feeling of disappointment is clearly discernible, and the indications point strongly toward a general breaking away of the mornl elements of both parties, and the formation of a new power that will embrace tho reformatory measures demanded. Either political party hns the opportunity of gaining this support, and the party that will embrace the reforms will receive a stronger aid than can bo given by the saloon, for the moral element predominates. But the reform must bo radical and deep. It must reach beyond the saloon, and destroy the power behind the throne. Chicago Current, Prohibition's Progress. The rapid progress of the prohibition movement is a puzzler to politician! and a surpriso to everybody; yet, after all, the difference between temperance and prohibition is not so great as many people imagine. Whenever a man makes ud Iris mind that ire can get along better without whisky than with itâthat it is not the necessity and benefit which ho thr'Uglrt il to be, but wholly unnecessary and a positive ovilâ it is not to bo wondered at that he should shortly be asking himself why the manufacture and sale of an article productive of so little good and capable of such infinite mis ohief should not be stupped. What's the use of making that which ought not to be used? Suoh is the perversity of human nature that he reasons wholly from his own experience and observation and not from the experience or observation uf his neighbor, who believes in drinking nil the whiskoy he can comfoitably carry, and, of course, tees things in a different light. It will be noticed, moreover, that while " sumptuary laws," as the party platforms used to call thorn, havo lost thoir old- time terror, and all good citizens admit that the whisky traffic must bo rigorously regulated, so the question of statutory interference with " personal liberty " of the citizen is losing much of its weight. Wo havo all known temperance men who, having no moral scruples as tn the moderate use of liuuors, have nevertheless abandoned the indulgence altogether aB a protest against the immoderate use and un wholesome example to the intemperate. It is nothing uncommon nowadays for temperate men to say that the; are ready to make still further sacritjco of their personal liberty for ths sake of the general welfare, and consent to an absolute prohibition of a traffic which to a majority of its patrons is Ihe worst possible a investment they can make. This is a growing sentiment, and it cannot be stripped. Tho roci-uiting otticers of Ihe prohibition party aro multiplying every dny, and iliuugh it may bo many years before the new crusade accomplishes its full object, it is already a force that is hound tn command the respect, even if it is slow to secure the indorsement of the old party leaders.â Etc, Martin blither's Prohibition Prayer The man who first brewed beer was a nest for Germany.

Marriage as a Partn.rsklp. Marriage is still only too often a bargain, but at least it is no longer Jan entirely one-sided bargain. It is tending toward the only true ideal of life-long companionshipâa partnership on equal terms, with equal give-and-take on both sides. Women no longer feel bound to rendor that implicit obedience which was considered de rlgueur in onr great- grandmothers' days, and men no longer universally demand it Husbands, moreover, are beginning to learn that t!r ir prime duty is not "to look after" ilii'lr wives. The very sentence is indicative of the most ghastly misapprehension ofthe whole Ideal of matrimony. Ths general feeling of society condemns a man who lives lo rule his wife on tht same principles as a Pasha rnli-s bts harem. And indeed the in role scheme of modern Hie makes it 1 radically impossible for him to to so. . married woman enjoys, as a rule, ivrii|"ilete liberty during the life-long ilav, and even at night it Is frequenlly impossible for a busy man to escort his wire. Thus everything turns on the re.ations between the married couple. I In girl ia really in lovfl with the man she marries she may be trusted with any ainou.it of subsequent freedom. If lint, not; and therefore we say that the injn.liiious and worldly parents who ni'e responsible tor the great majority ol ill-assorted unions are also responsible fur the many evil results which are II b .â¢ seen in society at this day. For it is a fact that manyAmerican girls aro as much forced into marriage as tlie French girl, whose husband is selected wirile 8he is yet in her convent. Not by main force, noâbut by the whole tone of her education, by the exaggerated fear of being an old maid, by the obvious necessity of making way for a younger sister, by the persistent scheming of her parents, and by her own longing for emancipation, for. marriage iiurioiibteflly does mean emancipation to most women j and it is precisely these who loDk forward to lt most who are likely to main the worst use of it Shipping <Jold to KurojiÂ«. When one-recalls the millions upon millions of dollars in gold that annually seek Europe to provide for the necessities ol onr import trade, the question of how goklis shipped to Kurope becomes a curious and interesting one. The Hank of America is the largest single shipper of gold abroad. Shipments are made in stout kegs, very like the ordinary Ireer keg. Every ono contains rS >ir,0 Â«i in coin or in bar gold. The lat- t r is ihj favorite for these shipments, miuv tho government bas permitted tha riili-lrcasury to exchange bar for gold coin, as coin in $1,000,UU0 shipment is liable to a low by abrasion of from eight to twi-nty omim, or from $128 to $320; an I Hie bars only lose about three- iour.iis of that amount Where coin is sjiii rliiublo eagles are preferred.

Mowat, fisheries inspector, has received from Viotoria two young shad caught off Race Rocks, He will preserve them by the Wiokorshain process, which procosB it will bo remembered was successfully tried on a salmon somo weeks ngn. The faot that the shad aro coming north is very important to the fishermen of British Columbia and it is hoped ihe day is not far distant when these waters svo trrerr.- ing wilh thein. In 1870 250.000 slmd eggs, from the Delaware Kivcr, wero taken to California and after being hatched wero deposited at the mouth of the Sacramento River. The young fry throve well, multiplied and increased so rapidly that tho almJ tisheries have overtopped the salmon industry 011 the Sacramento River. Last year 10,000,000 lbs. of shod wero marketed in San Francisco, valued at $1,000,000, or inure thuu the fisheries of the Fraser River net. The shad have been working their way northwards for a number of years, last year they were, caught in the Columbia River, and this summer they have reached British Columbia waters, but in very limited numbers. Mr. Mowat is in communication with the government at present fur the purpose of gaining permission to secure u large number of shnrl eggs, and, after hutching them, to place the young fry in the Prater, We hopo the permission will be given, and if so, it will nr.t bo many years beforo the shad tishiiiig equals iu value that of tho sitlih'oii industry. Fresh shad brings 10 cunts por lb., on an average, Ihe whole season through in San Francisco, and the demand is always ahead uf tho supply. Police Conrt. Ilcforo T. G. Atkinson V. M. Felix Parent charged with being drunk wns admitted to bail, and contrary to all expectations turned up to refute the insinuation.

Felix appeared to be conscious of tho necessity of the fino for he assured the magistrate it wus all right and not to feel sorry for it was a matter of duty. With a cordial good-byo all around Felix bowed himself out with all tho characteristic politincBB of a Frenchman. Peter Auguste charged with a felonious assault on the person of James Fraser. Pleaded not guilty. The evidence of James Fraser, went to show that ho was on his way home and mistaking Auguste's houso for that of a woman he wanted to see, he rapped at tho window. Auguste came out with a club and Fraser on finding his mistake, apologized, but Auguste struck him with tho club. Fraser then ran and the prisoner ran after him and struck him with tho club again, knocking him down. Fraser admitted ho was drunk on the night of tho assault, and was in a house of ill- fame. Also that he did not remember where he had been and that his actions wore confused in his mind. William Herdnn testified to hearing the complaihrnt calling for help and on running out of tho cabin, found Fraser badly cut and bleeding. Dr. McLean, stated ho had examined tho wound and found it to be about two inches loiigi'lle {irohed|it, carefully but did not irnd any fracture of tho skull. He thought tho wound could bo givon by a club, similar to tho one produced. His Honor after reviewing tho cose very carefully, fined the dofondent $25 and costs or two months in jail. Jessie Hart charged with stealing $150 from the person of John Anderson and also with keeping a house of ill-fame. Pleeded nobgujlty,.....,.,.. ,. .

When I accused the woman of taking the money, she denied it and I had her arrested. Peter Auguste, swore the complainant hod three $50 bills on Thursday night and he also saw , Anderson go into the prisoners house. L. Ford of the Cleveland Hotel, testified that the prisoner wae in tho hotel yesterday and changed a $50 bill. His Honor considering tho evidence suflioiont, committed tho prisoner for trial. Tho chargo of kooping a house of ill fame being fully proved, the prisoner was fined $50 and sentenced to 3 months in jail. . _Â»â~ Holloway's Corn Cure is tho medicine to remove all kinds of corns and warts, and only costs the small sum of twenty- lire cents.
