Thompson nnd Messrs.\nKirkland. Henderson, Sword, Punch\nand Sinclair filed on and took their\ntats.\nJust as the valiant suffrage-hunters\nhad got comfortably seated on a long\nwooden bench in full view of the audience, a moat ludricuous incident occurred. An improvised calico curtain at\nthe front of the stage suddenly fell with\na bang, and shut out, not only the\n\"speaking countenances\" of the solid\nsix,\" but their muddy boots as well,\nfrom the expectant gaze of the eager\naudience. Tlie curtain was slowly raised\non the second act, producing all the\nspectacular effects (slightly modified) of\na variety or minstrel snow. The audience, as may be imagined, enjoyed this\nunexpected diversion hugely, and the\ncandidates themselves chuckled audibly.\nWhen the fun had subsided a motion\nwas passed limiting each speaker to\nfifteen minutes, and the chairman called on Capt, Thompson, who sat at the\nnear end of the long bench aforesaid, to\naddress the audience first.\nthe candidates' speeches.\nCapt. Thompson said he stood before\nthe audience as a candidate to represent\ntheir interests in the Local House. He\nstood pledged to uphold a fair and strict\nredistribution of seats, population as\nnearly as possible to form tho basis of a\nnew Redistribution Bill. He would insist on the balance of power theory\nbeing done away with, ana would strive\nfor fair representation for all sections of\nthe Province, Mainland aud Island.\nHe thought the up-country members\nhad been unwisely and unnecessarily\nalienated from the Lower Mainland,\nand one of the first things to do was to\nconciliate them, He trusted that men\nwould be elected from from Island constituencies who would be above doing\nthe Mainland an unfairness. The members for the Lower Mainland Bhould be\npledged to watch more vigilantly than\never the interests of their constituencies,\nbecause in tho next four years the fight\nwould certainly come. They must be\nprepared to work shoulder to shoulder.\nThe speaker further stated that he was\nin favor of dividing all the districts into\none member constituencies, and believed\nthat rural constituencies should have a\nlarger representation than cities. The\nspeaker stated lie was in accord with\nthe Government on all questions hut\nredistribution.\nThe matter of opening up the agricultural lands of the Province was a most\nimportant one and should receive more\nattention than the Government had\ngiven it. He would be in favor of borrowing money for that purpose, if required. He believed the wild land tax\nshould be increased, and would go so\nfar as to raise that tax to 26 cents an\nacre. He would be very jealous of allowing the sale of large blocks of land to\ncompanies where such land was of\nvalue for agricultural purposes. He\nwould assist schemes for dyking, draining and reclaiming lands, where such\nwork was required, and, if elected, as ho\ntrusted to be, would leave no stone upturned to advance tbe interests of the\nDistrict in every way. (Applause.)\nMr. Kirkland, coming next in order,\nwas then called on. He said It waB not\nthe first time he had addressed the people of the District as a candidate seeking\ntheir suffrages. The last time, although\nbeaten, be had received a good vote.\nThe most important question undoubtedly agitating the public mind was the\nredistribution question. He need scarcely say that the Dill passed at the last\nsession of the House could neither be\nexcused nor condoned. The idea seems to\nhave prevailed on Vancouver Island that\nthe Island Bhould have an increase of\nrepresentation wherever it was found\nnecessary to give a member to the Mainland. That principle was entirely opposed to the principles of free government. The theory would have to be\ncontested and fought inch by inch. The\nonly solution that the Bpeaker saw at\npresent waB that in the coming election\nthere might be a majority of\nmembers returned who would rise\nBuperlor to sectional matters and\nwork together ou patriotic principles,\nand look at the matter in a broad statesmanlike manner. It would be generally conceded, he thought, that the policy\nof tho present Government (with the\nexception of the redistribution measure)\nhad been tolerably satisfactory to the\nProvince at large. He thought it was\nquite compatible with the duties of a\nrepresentative to support the Government on general measures, but when\nthe question of redistribution came up\neach member, irrespective of tho Government, Bhould make himself thoroughly\nacquainted with tho subject to bring\nsuch pressure to bear upon tho Government ns would bring about a just measure. Touching on other questions\nthe speaker thought the timber lands\nwere being disposed of at much less\nthan their real valuo; the system of\nselling large lots of timber land to speculators should be put a stop to. With re-\nSird to borrowing money for opening up\nie country ho would be disposed to exorcise caution aud\nconsideration. The speaker stated that\nhe was an old pioneer in the distriot,\nknew its wants and would do his utmost,\nif elected, to further its interests.\nMr. Hy. Harris\u00E2\u0080\u0094Would you be prepared, in case the Government refused\nto bring in and Btand by a fair and just\nredistribution measure, to vote them\nout of power?\nMr. Kirkland\u00E2\u0080\u0094I would do so.\nMr. J. C. Henderson was then called\non. He said that was the first occasion\non which he had spoken on\na political platform. At the earnest\nrequest of a large number of voters in\nhis own part of the district he had consented to be a candidate. He was in\nfavor of the Government so far as he\nmight think the Government was right.\nHe might Bay that lie was independent.\nWe had a promise from the Government that next year the census would\nbe taken, and he believed that word\nwould be made good; if not his vote\nwould go to make it right. He was in\nfavor of schemes for the reclamation of\nlands.\nMr. C. B. Sword, of Matsqui, took the\nstand next. He had declared himself\nas an Independent candidate. The\nword had been objected to as meaning\non the fence. However, he did not intend to pledge himself to either the\nGovernment or the Opposition. That\nhad always been his platform and attitude. The redistribution measure,\neveryone considered to be a great injustice to tbe country. The bill had increased the members of the House by\nsix, instead of making a fair redistribution, and it was much more difficult\nto take a member away from a constituency than to give it one. As regarded tbe action of the Premier, he\nthought tho district would be very\nfoolish to return him as a member.\nShould the Premier be returned to\npower, and bring down measures for the\ngood of the country, he should have no\nhesitation in giving him an independent\nsupport.\nMr. James Punch, Reeve of Surrey,\nspoke next. His position before the\nelectors was an Independent candidate.\nBriefly, his platform,was: First, representation by population; second, dividing of the District into ridings; third,\n?letting our just share of the revenue;\nourth,agrantfor a free traffic bridge\nover the Fraser from the City of Westminster to Surrey; fifth, the prohibition\nof Chinese immigration as much as possible. That was where he stood, and be\nwould not take up the time of the meeting any further on that occasion.\nMr. Marshall Sinclair was on the extreme end of the long bench, farthest\nfrom the chairman, but his turn had\ncome at last. Mr. Sinclair said he was\nplaced at a disadvantage by the previous\nspeakers having exhausted the subject.\nHe would say in starting that he had\ntravelled pretty well all over the District, aid had seen much worth seeing,\nand whether elected or not, he would\nalways think of his trip with kindly re-\nininisences. In a new country like this\nthere were a great many things to be\ndone that bid countries did not require.\nHis platform wasequalrights.Hethought\nthat the whole District had not got its\nrights. All the candidates had come to\nthe conclusion that the redistribution\nbill was not a just measure, and Mr.\nSinclair here quoted figures to show that\nit was very unjust. The speaker supposed it would take a little time to remedy this matter, but, if elected, he would\nalways do his best to protect the rights\nof the District. The farmers should be\nencouraged and helped. They turned\nthe howling forests into the beautiful\nand fertile plains. There were a great\nmany roads in the District-\nSeveral voices\u00E2\u0080\u0094Where are they? We\ncan't find them. (Sardonic laughter.)\nThat were impassible, Mr. Sinclair\nwent on to say (corroboration chuckles).\nIf he were elected he would go right\nthrough the district and see what was\nwanted. He was in favor of putting a\nheavier tax on wild land, which would\nencourage settlement. He wanted to\ncome right down and explain matters.\nHe had been successful in business in\nWestmlnBter, and bad sold his business.\nHe had now the leisure time before him,\nand, if elected would hustle for the\ndistrict for all he was worth.\nMr. A. M. Herring was then called\nupon. He had come in late, and there\nnot being room for another candidate to\nsqueeze in on the long wooden bench on\nthe stage, he had taken a seat among\nthe audience. Mr.. Herring ascended\nthe platform, however, to address the\nmeeting. He had no intention of coming there to make a speech, He\nhad taken his Btand ou ' 'Representation by population or separation,\" which stand he proceeded to justify. Ho waB not in accord\nwitli tlie policy of the Government on\nthe redistribution question. Tbe Government, also, hod no public works\npolicy. He believed in a thorough\npolicy of public workB, and in borrowing \".uney if necessary, and laying it\nout systematically on the public roads\nand other works. The money would\ncome back in increased taxation on the\nimproved lands. The yearly grant to\nthe municipalities should be Increased from $1,000 to (3,000. There\nwere large speculators who owned land\nalongside of land tbat was being unimproved, and he would go in for increasing the taxation on wild land. If\nthe electors did him tbe honor of electing him he would do bis best for the\nDistrict.\nCapt. Thompson here announced that\nhe waB prepared to answer any question\nthat might be put to him.\nHe waB asked the same question by\nMr. Hy. Harris as that gentleman had\nnut to Mr. Kirkland, and answered in\nthe affirmative.\nMr. Sinclair again rose and assured\ntbe audience that he was of the samo\nmind.\nThe chairman then invited others to\nspeak. Dr. Bodington, of the Mission,\nwaa called for by the audience and responded. Ho was not a candidate. He\nbad listened to the various addresses,\nand it struck him that there was not a\ngreat deal of variation. They seemed\nall to be in favor of a good redistribution\nbill, and, with the exception, perhaps,\nof Mr. Henderson, all were prepared to\nturn out the Government, if necessary,\nto get it.\nMr. Henderson here hastily arose and\ninformed Dr. Bodington and the audience that he \"would turn out the Government in case of need.\"\nDr. Bodington continuing, called attention to tho great necessity that existed for more fostering of tlie agricultural\ninterests of tho country. The want of\nproper roads, of any roads at all in many\ninstances, was a crying shame and a\nterrible drawback and hardship. Without the development of the agricultural interests, a country ean not\n?;et on. As it was, we had to\nmport a great many articles of food,\nAc, thnt Bhould, and would, under proper conditions, be produced in the Province. It seemed discreditable to the\nGovernment and to the people, perhaps,\nthat this state of things should exist.\nDr. Bodington spoke at considerable\nlength, and ably and forcibly throughout, and we regret that we cannot give\na more extended report.\nReeve Kitchen, of Chilliwack, was\nthen called upon by the audience. He\nsaid he was a representative bf the\nMainland Association, nud tho people\nof his district were in accord with the\nplatform of that association almost to a\nunit In a meeting at Chilliwack, recently, composed of M r. Robson's friends,\nthey could not oppose that platform.\nSix years ago Mr. Robson stated he was\ngoing to work for an extra member for\nthis District. He did so, but gave an\nextra member to Cowicban as well.\nWe wero promised a redistribution\nmeasure Inst year; we got an amendment to the constitution. Mr. Robson\ntold ub some years ago that the 45,000\nacres of tho Sumas dyking lands would\nbe got from the Dominion Gov\nernment, and the proceeds applied\nto reclamation purposes. The lands\nhad been mode over to the Provincial\nGovernment, but when Mr. Robson was\nasked in the House last session about\napplying them to the purpose intended\nhe denied that there ever had been such\nan intention. Mr. Robson had made\nquite a number of other definite promises (which Mr, Kitchen\nrecited in detail) which he bad broken.\nHe had held out baits, so to speak, at\nelection time, but lie had not kept\nhis promises, and the people\nof Chilliwack would not support him,\nthey would not allow the wool to be\npulled over their eyes any more. (Hear,\nhear, and laughter.) Mr. Kitchen spoke\nat considerable length further, and in\nthe same strain. He made an eloquent\nand forcible address throughout, which\nwe have not got space to report more\nfully.\nAfter a vote of thanks to Reeve Maxwell for presiding, the meeting came to\na close. ^^^^^^^^^\nRailway Statement.\nBoston, May 29.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Union Pacific statement for April: Gross earnings, $3,547,-\n720; increase, $718,803; net, $1,021,107;\nincrease, $51,648.

He suid that the Northern\nPacific Ocean and adjacent continents\nhave beon for some weeks passing\nthrough a violent volcanic period.\nScientists have examined the gases\nwhich escaped from the craters and\nfound them to consist of carbon and its\ncompounds, which are heavier than\ncommon air, and will, of course, like\nwater, settle over lowest levels, as over\nrivers and in valleys. These gases, it is\nfound, are highly charged with electricity, and at night become more or\nless luminous, like tbe pillar which led\nthe children of Israel.

Early refused,\nwhereupon Longetreet's friend made a\nlunge for Early but the latter was protected by friends long enough to allow\nhim to escape.

The streets were elaborately decorated and the colors of the confederacy blended with the national emblem. Portraits of tho leader of the\nlost cause were prominently displayed.\nAt an early hour the military gathered\nfor the parade. Ex-Governor Fitzhugh\nLeo was chief marshal and Gen.

It is to be hoped\nthat every municipality and settlement\nwill insure thnt their delegates to\nthe convention shall be properly\nselected by public meetings\nthe various localities, and accredited to\nthe convention by the secretaries of\neach meeting. Aa the convention will\nnow necessarily meet after the nominations, its business will, of course, be to\nselect from the candidates who may\nhave- been nominated, three men to\nform the Independent ticket. In the\nmeantime tbe electors will do well to\nrefrain from giving promises of support\nto anyone. A week will elapse nfter\nthe convention beforo polling day, which\nwill be sufficient time in which to make\na decision.\nTo acquaint the people of the District\nnt tbe earliest possible time of the results of the convention, we shall issue\nextra copies of the Daily Columbian to\nonr Weekly subscribers, on Friday\nnext (the day after tho adjourned convention). We are doing the same with\nto-day's issue of the Daily, and shall\nlikewise furnish our Weekly subscribers\nwith to-morrow's (Friday's) daily paper\nso that without loss of time thoy may\nbe aware of the result of the nominations. ___________\nTHE LANGLEY MEETING.\n* For reasons which are stated elsewhere, the intended convention at the\nLangley town hall yesterday was turned\ninto a public meeting to hear an expression on the political questions of\nthe day from the District candidates\npresent aud others. The District candidates, very coincidently, not to say providentially, being all present (with the\nexception of the Hon. John Robson, and,\nwe understand, it was only by a fluke\nthat he failed to \" get there\" too), the\npublic meeting part of the affair was a\ndecided and brilliant success, Seven\ncandidates and two or three ordinary\ncitizens addressed the intelligent and\nappreciative audience present, nnd n fair\nopportunity was given the pretty large\ninformal representation of the District\nassembled to judge the tine and the\nweak points of the different aspirants\nfor political honors before them. One\nvery noticeable feature about the remarks of the different candidates (who\nhad been feeling the public pulse pretty\nconsiderably throughout the District be\nit remembered) was tho distinct and\nunmistakable ring of the Mainland Association platform and principles in\nevery address. Even the supposed\n\"straight\" Government candidates were\ncareful to convey the impression\nthat they wero nearly, if not\nquite, Independent, and when catechised\nin the open meeting gave promises that\nwould do credit to the most pronounced\nand undoubted Independent. Of course,\nthere were mental reservations in some\ncases, but it will be for the electors to\njudge who are sincere and who are\nmerely desirous of filling thoii sails with\nthe strong and steady wind of popular\nsentiment which the advocacy and\nagitation of true principles haB\nset in motion from one end of the\nDistrict to the other. The fact remains,\nhowever, and it is u most significant\none, and as flattering to the Mainland\nAssociation and those advocating the\nsame principles, as it Is creditable to\nthe honesty and intelligence of the\nDistrict at large, that the candidates\nhave all deemed it expedient to trim\ntheir public course and expressions by\nthe platform of the people's party.\nSuch being the case, tho electors must\nbe all the more careful to select only\nthose men who are undoubtedly independent and true, in Bplrit and consistent attitude, as well as In word.\nVERY HARD UP.\nOuit friend on Church street is wrestling still with the Mainland Association\nand ita platform and objects. He seems,\njudging by the \"cheeky\" nonsenee he\ntalks, to bo very hard up for anything\nlike an argument. The simple fact that\nyesterday's meeting at Langley proved\nthe District to be solid on tbo Association platform should have shown him\nthat he is hurting his own cause by\nevery word he prints. The supreme\nimpudence of a man who knows\nnext to nothing about tbe District (or\nProvince, for that matter,) telling the\npeople of the Lower Mainland that the\naction they have taken, after calm deliberation, is \"stupid,\" Ib enough of itself to put our cotemporary out of consideration at once, but that ho may have\nno excuse, we will just repeat that the\nejectors of the District mean to leaveHon.\nJohn Robson out this time, not because\nof personal feeling, not because of sympathy with the Opposition party in the\nlocal House, but because ' Mr. Robson\nhas allowed himself to become the\nfather and defender of a measure scandalously unjust to the District, nnd '.He\nelectors feel tbat they are bound to\nenter the very strongest possible protest against that measure. Were Mr.\nRobson returned for the District\u00E2\u0080\u0094he\nwill not be returned, that is pretty certain\u00E2\u0080\u0094but supposing for the sake of\nargument that he should be, it would at\nonce be asserted that the District consented to the infamous Redistribution\nBill, and when the question of redistribution came up again, tbe fact of his return\nwould be used to show that the District\ndid not object to the \"balance of power\"\ntheory. The Mainland Association haa\nthroughout appealed to tho people on\nprinciple, and every candidate who is\nin sympathy with it is pledged to\nsupport \"measures,notmen.\" Tho Government, therfore, has only to adopt the\nsimple plan of doing right in order to\ncompel the support of these or any men\nwho an) pledged to principles.\nHloi.d Blunt Flow.\nAn Ottawa dispatch says: Senator\nMcDonald, of Victoria, B. C, states that\nCanadian sealers will ignore the action\nof American executive officers. The Canadian sealing fleet, he says, started on\nits annual hunt January last. They go\ndown the coast bb far as San Francisco,\nfollowing the seals north, picking them\nup ns they go along. They will go into\nBehring Sea, as they consider that they\nhave a perfect right to do so. He haB\nall along thought that tho whole matter\nwould be brought to maturity by some\nact of bloodshed.\nA Proralilng Scheme.\nA movement is on foot for the establishment of a General Fishing Colonization Company ou the West coast. Mr,\nAlexander Begg, who is prominently\nconnected with the Crofter settlement\nscheme, is one of its leading promoters.\nIn all probability the company will be\nformed in Great Britain with a capital\nof \u00C2\u00A3100,000 to \u00C2\u00A3150,000. It is proposed\nto begin operations on the west coast of\nthe island of Vancouver, and establish\ncanneries and salting and fish smoking\nestablishments; to convert llsh offal\ninto guano, develop the mineral resources\nand, if circumstances are favorable,\nto promote settlement in and about the\nlocalities where the company's works\nnro established, which otherwise would\nnot be likely for some time to come to\nbe taken hold of. Fish oils will also be\nun in licit! ut manufacture, and it la considered desirable to have the enterprise\nmade as comprehensive as possible.\nMr. Begg seems to be of opinion that\ntbe present is a favorable occasion at\nwhich to inaugurate the project. British capital is being invested, in all directions, and it is thought that few\nbetter fields for enterprise present themselves than this. While making a fair\nreturn upon tbe capital invested, it is\nconfidently believed that the company's\noperations would be most beneflcal to the\nProvince. They would promote settlement by supplying employment to acon-\nsiderable number of people, whose homes\nwould require to be established in\nsparsely settlements. The project is\nscarcely in such a condition as to be\nformally laid before the financier either\nof this country or Great Britain, but it is\nlikely, that in the course of a week or\ntwo, a complete prospectus will be issued.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Colonist.\nChildren Cry for Pitcher's Castorla.\nBell-Irving, Patterson\n6c Co.\nIMPORTERS\nShipping Agents,\nWHOLESALE\n-AND-\nCommission Merchants\nIn Stock, a full assortment of\nLiquors, Vitrified Drain Pipes,\nFire Bricks, Encaustic Tiles,\nCumberland Smithy Coal, &c,\nAc, Ac.\nAny Description of Goods Imported\nto Order.\ndwlelto\nWANTED.\nROOM AND BOARD.

The seats wero not only\ncrowded, but the passages aud entries\nwere literally jammed with spectators\nof all ages and every nationality, the\nChinese being well represented. When\nthe tent waB filled there could not havo\nbeen fewor than two thousand spectators, and probably more. The performance itself was a good deal above the\naverage of travelling shows and several\nof the acta were first-class. One rather\nridiculous episode Ib worthy of notice.\nOne of the clowns camo tumbling into\nthe ring with a heap of boxes and parcels according to the ancient custom of\nthese gentlemen. He entered from\namong the crowd at the main entrance\nand no sooner had he got into tho ring\nthan Officer Carty seized him and attempted to run him out of the tent.\nBut the clown was a vigorous fellow\nand would not be run out. The officer\nfmlled with might and main and after a\nong struggle got his man to tho edge of\nthe ring where the showman wriggled\nfree and ran round the ring chased by\nthe policeman1, to tho great amusement\nof the audience. After the regular performance there was a concert at fifteen\ncents a head to which more than half\nthe audience remained, The concert\nwon as bad aa tho acrobatic work had\nbeen good.

The wretched little\nanimal, of course, pulled back aB hard\nas it could, the result being that strangulation was quickly taking place. Two\ngentlemen who witnessed the brutal exhibition, ran forward and begged the\nfellows driving the wagon to allow them\nto place the deer In the wagon, as tho\nanimal *vas choking. \"Let it choke and\nbe ,\" answered the fellows, driving off again at a fast gait, and apparently much tickled over the agonies of\ntheir victim. It is a great pity that\nWestminster has not a local Henry\nBergh, who would seo to it that the two\nspecimens of humanity mentioned above\ngot what they so richly deserve. The\nconstant recurrence of Just such revolt-\nins spectacles ou our streets will probably induce some of our humane citizens\" to organize a branch of the S.P.C.\nA. in this City.\n> \u00C2\u00BB \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nThe Nominations.\nThe nomination of candidates for elec<\ntion to the Provincial Parliament for the\nelectoral district of New Westminster\nCity will be held to-morrow from 12 noon\nuntil 1 o'clock p. in. at the Court House.\nCapt.

The knocker\nwas a gentleman from the country,\nLangley or thereabouts, and he told a\ndismal tale of deception and robbery.\nBefore the evening performance of the\ncircus last night he was hanging around\nthe tents in an aimless manner not\nknowing very well what to do. Suddenly a stranger, probably struck with the\nguileless innocence so markedly apparent on the countenance of the bucolic\ngent, accosted him, asking him if he\nwere going fn to Bee the show. With\nthe deep and evasive cunning peculiar\nto the large and healthy tribe of hayseed, Mr. Country said, \"Well, I don't\nknow, maybe, and maybe not.\" The\nstranger then said, ''have you got a\nticket?\" \"No,\" replied Country. \"Well,\nI'll get one for you; come along,\" said\nthe obliging stranger, hauling Mr.\nNeaps up to the ticket booth and purchasing a ticket for that gentleman out of hii (the stranger's) own\nmoney. The countryman said, \"Aw,\nthanks awfully, old fellah.\" Tho\nstranger retorted; \" Say, how much\nmoney you got?\" \" Oh, fifty dollars, or\nbo,\" replied Country. \" Well,\" said the\nkind stranger, \"I'll get it changed for\nyou, gimme the bill.\" The rustic nanded\nover a fifty dollar bill and in a fow\nseconds back came the obliging friend,\n\"Here you go,\" he said, \"now watch\nmo count, ten, twenty, thirty, forty,\nfive, and four fifty in silver makes forty-\nnine fifty{ don't It?\" \"Why, you're\nawfully kind, don't you know,\" said the\nclever young fellow from the country,\nputting the money in his pocket, \" 1\nthink I'll go in now, good-bye and many\nthanks.\" After he had been in some\ntime ho thought lie had better count\nover his change. Thirty-five dollars\nshort by gum! With a weary wail of\nwoe the young man flew around those\ntents in a way to raise envy In the bosom\nof a circus horse; there was a one-man\ncircus up there for about thirty minutes,\nbut the gay deceiver he never found,\nThon Mr. Country rushed down to in\nvoke the law. Mr, Smith told him to\ngo down to tho Ferndale and see if he\ncould find the man, as the young man\nthough t he hod a kind of a sort of a species\nof faint and hasty rocollectlon of the gen -\ntleman's face. While the officer and\nthe hay-developer Btood talking on the\nmarble steps of the police station portico,\na heavy, booming whistle reverberated\nover tlie roofs of the sleeping city, and\ntho Ferndalo slowly steamed out Into\nmid stream, a mass of brilliant light,\nund then, increasing her speed quickly\nvanished from their sight. \"I've been\ndone, haven't I, please?\" said the sad\ncountryman, \"Yes\" sagely replied\nAlec, \"thirty-five dollars a lesson, too;\ncomes high, but you fellows seem to\nhave to have it,\" \"I say old man,\nwhispered the disconsolate one, '.'don't\ntell any of those 'blawsted' reporters\nabout this, will you now, I'll never\nhear the end of it if you do.\" \"Oh\nthat'a all right,\" said Alec,\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Good\nnight,\" uitd'ho closed the door and went\nback to bed.\n~ \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u00A2--\u00C2\u00AB\t\nThere is some probability in the\nrumor that the corporation is to purchase the old court house buildings and\nmove them on to City Hall square.\nPERSONAL.\nThe Great Paoiflo Mail Co.\nNew Yobk, May 28.\u00E2\u0080\u0094At the annual\nmeeting of the Pacific Mail S.

The\nelection of the other officers waB. held\nover until next meeting.\nThe Government supporters in this\ncity are making n determined effort to\nsecure the re-election of Mr. Thos. Cunningham. All the strength that can be\nbrought to bear on the Government\ncandidate is boing put forward, but the\neffort will prove rootless, the people's\ncandidate, Mr. J. C.

M.\nCharley, an Indian, charged a Chinaman named Ah Linn with having supplied him with intoxicating liquor, to\nwit, whisky. Ah Linn denied the\ncharge. Charley said ho bought the\nbottle of liquor from Linn, drank half of\nit, got sobered up und recollecting that\nhalf the fine accrued to the informer,\nwent straightway and arrested him and\nran him into tho police station. Charley\ncommented severely upon the perfidy of\nLinn in watering tho whisky and said\nhe believed Linn had drunk half tho\nwhisky, and filled the bottle up with\nwator; which ho considered a very degrading nnd uncivilized practice. There\nbeing no substantial evidence tho cuso\nwas dismissed with costs.\nThe next caso was that of Shepherd\nvs. Williams, for using abusive long.\nMr. L. P. Eckstein, who appeared for\nthe defence, said that this case was evidently the outcome of a case which was\nlately tried in the supreme court, and\nMr. Williams had been annoyed at some\nof the evidence given by Mr. Sheppard,\nMr. Williams had made use of the language he wns charged with because his\nfeelings had run away with him and he\n(Mr. Eckstein) would ask Mr. Shepherd\nto withdraw the case. There waa no\ncause to show vindictiveness, nnd he\ndid not think Mr. Shepherd would be\nanimated by any such feelings.\nMr. Shepherd said there was no vindictiveness In the case at all, but what\nhe wanted waa protection, some assurance that he would suffer no molestation\nfrom Mr. Williams.\nMr. Eckstein said that the charge laid\ndid not call for any measure of that kind.\nMr. Williams was a government official\nand it Btood to reason that if he misbehaved himself at any time this case\nwould bo brought against him, and\nknowing this he would not he likely to\nincur the consequences.\nHiB Honor regretted that this case had\ncome before him at all, and naked Mr.\nShepherd if he were afraid of defendant.\nMr. Shephard said that he wus ufruld\nto go about Queen's Avenue after dark\non account of Williams's threatening\nlanguage.\nMr. Eckstein said that in that caie the\nplaintiff would have to lay another information.\nThe Magistrate finally adjourned the\ncase for one month, Mr. Williams to\nenter upon his own recognisances to\nkoep the peace. This was done on the\napplication of Mr. Eckstein.
