Large Native Reinforcements Arrive an the Coast.-The German Outlook Worse than Ever. Delaney's Evidence Before the Parnell Commission of an Incriminating Nature. GERMAN STATION <J A ITU HED. Zanzibab, Jan. 17.âNowb wu received hero of an attack by the Arabs upon tho German mission station at Thru, only a short distanco west of Dares Sitlam, whero the majority of tho slaves oaotured by the German man-of-war Leipaig were lodged. Tlie insurgents destroyed tlio station nnd massacred 7 of tho missionaries. Ono missionary escaped to tho coast. Three bodied, oue that of a .woman, were found barbarously mutilated. The Arabs carried off all servants attached to the mission, together with the slaves stationed thore. The Arabs are now on the warpath and threaten all the missionaries. The French mission stations, especially those near Tugu, are in imminent danger of an attack. The Arabs who are now joining in the slave traflio como principally from Kilivo Lindi and are richer and more influential than the Bashiri,the present Arab leaders. Thoy will probably overshadow the Bashiri and givo a new impetus to the revolts. RESIGNED. Beklin, Jan. 17.âDr. Frodberg, minister of justice, has resigned owing to the publishing of Geffecken's indictment. A BITTEIl PARTING. London, Jan. 16.âUnited States Minister Phelps was the guest of the evening at n banquet given by the Fishmongers' Company to-night. In responding to the toast of his health, he snid: ''Tho only complaint I have to bring against this country is that my experience has made it more difficult for mo to say good-bye than to pei form any duty which has devolved on me since i! came here." Continuing Mr, Phelps expressed tho hopo (hat ho might have Ihe pleasure of seeing, in one couutiy or the other, a largo number of his English friends. Therefore, in sayint* farewell he would adopt Ihe poet's sentiment and say, "not goodnight, but on some happier day, bid me good morning." MISSIONARY STATION ATTACKED. Zanzibar, Jan. 16.âAn attack by insurgents on the German missionary station at De Es Salem begun early on the morning of January 11th. The stilt inn was unguarded nnd contained a hundred natives lately freed from slavery, and three male and two femalo missionaries. Ono of the missionaries was severely wounded, but escaped and reached the German wan-nf-war Mouvt*. The othen v. ere captured by insurgents, who sold them into slavery in the interior, and the insurgents pillaged the town. The Mouve bombarded the place and destroyed it, but did no harm to the insurgents. FOUGHT LIKE MEN. London, Jan. 16.âTho resignation of Captain Lord William Cecil, son of Lord Salisbury, from the Grenadier Guards, has caused a great stir in military circles. No reason is given for the resignation to tho public, but it is iiBserled that his withdrawal was due to a list fight which his lordship recently had with a brother officer at Kuightsbridge barracks. From the report* in circulation it is gathered that he got very much the wont of tho encounter, and besides receiving Iwo black eyes, sustained other injuries at the hands of his antagonist which will necessitate his retirement from publio view for some timo. It is understood that some of (ho radical members of the house of commons have resolved to question the secretary of war concerning the affair when parliament meets. DELANEY'S EVIDENCE. London, Jan. 16.âIn the evidence of Patrick Delany, a convict from Marlboro prison, beforo the Parnell Commission, he testified that he hod belonged to the Fenians. He said that the principal part of thu Inviu- cibles oath was a clause binding the members to assassinate the viceroy and tho whole executive torce of Ireland. He had received money from the National League. The witness, said that he was deputed to watch Mr. Forester, and Joseph Brady and Timothy Kelly were delegated to murder him. The witness stated that ho had no part in tho Phoenix Park murder. Ho said that Mrs, Bryno brought over to Ireland tho two knives usvtt at Ihe Phamix Park murders. Delauoy testified that tho principal leader.- uf tho Fenians wore Egaii.Bronimn, John Lnvoy, John Doran and Dr. Macallis* ter. About 1870 a number of delegates, including John O'Connor, John Devoy and General Miller, cuute from America, Witness attended a meeting in the Foresters' Hall, Dublin, at which John Devoy represented the American council. General Miller inspected the military organization. It was arranged that arms should bo provided and the expenses ' ot same paid. At another meeting Davitt, Parnell, Egan, BigtfartDillon,Brennan and Harris attended. Carey at this meeting attacked Davitt for not nd* hoving to the principles of thu orgniii- zution. Witness was told that the "circles" were n<>t opposed to the League' which would organize the Fenians and supply them with arms. At a meeting of the Invinciblos, hold aftor the Phoenix Park murders, a quantity of guld and bank notes wore luid on the table. Afterwards revolvers, daggers and money came. De* laney swore that James Carey had attempted to hire a house from the windows of which the Dublin Castle officials might bo shot, but he was unable to secure ono in tho locality suitable for his purpose. He also testified that Patrick Egan had promised to pay Carey his election expenses when the lattnr was a candidate for office in tho Dublin municipality. Upon cross examination Delauey admitted that when 17 years of ago, he was sentenced to prison for & years for highway rob* bery. Whon ho was accused of participation in tho Phoenix Park murders he gave the authorities all the information in his possession. The Fenians wero never an assassination society except in the case of informers. Tho Invinciblos. however, were different. He knew that Egan, Brennan and Bryno were Fenians, He never saw them among th& Invinciblos, but knew they were among the leaders of the organization. LATE DESPATCHES. HAM JONES WITH THE ANGELS.

City of Mexico, Jan. 13.âRailway men hero and American buyers for smelting works in Texas, New Mexico, Californio and Missouri, say that if the United States congress passes the tariff bill with n provision placing a duty of $3 per ton on silver and lead ores coming from Mexico, the railway companies operating here will bo nearly ruined and that the smelting woiks in the United States dependent on Mexican silver and lead ores, will be badly injured or compelled to shut down, TUB ENGLISH SIDE OF IT. London, Jan. 14.âThe St. James' Gazette, in commenting on the Sackville incident, soya that Lord Salisbury iB undoubtedly right on the question of principle. Lord Sackville spuko when he ought to have boen silent, and told the truth to the wrong persons. This, however, does not excuse President Cleveland's treatment of Lord Sackville, but does afford n solid resson for placing the latter iu a position where he would run no risk from the wiles of a deceiver.

Editor Columbian.âThe correspondence tin t appears in the Guardian ot Wednesday, on the subject of taxing ''improvements as well as lots," Is a curiosity. After wading through an immense arithmetical calculation, trying to prove the "mischief involved in the new charter, which authorizes taxing lm provements fn addition to the land, and citing a number of what he calls "extreme cases," such as -'Cunningham, Lundboni, Corbould, Colonial Hotel, Queen's Hotel, Mead, and others," who, according to this "Taxpayer," will bo ruined entirely by the new (to Westminster) mode of raising city revenue, this sapient writer says: "It Is easy to foresee tlie consequences of such a stato of things. Heal estate will tumble down in value and nobody would build." Anil, immediately after uttering tho above, he Slves utterance to another idea, which lows that, after all. the man who buthla on his lot Is bolter able to pay taxes than he who does not; ho bays: "With a heavy debt on tbe city, probably many an absentee would be compelled to build on his lot to bo able to stand tho pros sure of the heavy taxes on such lots," This poor man "Taxpayer," has just made a confession that tho man who has his lots improved and is receiving his monthly Income from house rents is better able to pay taxes on that income than tho foolish speculator who is oithor to*, poor or too stingy to improve hia lots; he has Inadvertently acknowledged tho justice of the principle of taxing im- Srovementa. It is astonishing, and a oplorablo fact, that, as a general thing, those who would be most benefited by local enterprises are tho most backward to assist in their promotion; they seem to be afraid of any change from fear that general prosperity would enablo some one clsoto use tho "muck rake," as they havo been doing; poor, miserable bouIs, thoy are to be pitied; they can take nothing with thnn, and how will they part with tholr raklngs. This city and Namlmo aro the only places on this coast whero land only is taxed. The principle of taxing improvements Is acknowledged in practice all ovor tho world.

Editor Columbian.âAt tho regular meeting of the council of the board of trade, held yesterday afternoon, atten tion waa directed to a letter which ap* peared in the Guardian yesterday morning, signed by Mr. A. W. Lundboni, in which the board of trade was charged with having grossly misrepresented facta in tho resolution it passed some weeks ago respecting the Southern Railway injunction. Since the veracity and dignity of tho board have been assailed by the letter above referred to, and the writer has unfairly attempted to make capital out of it for the apparent purpose of further embarrassing an undertaking with the success of which, most people believe, the future development of the city is closely identified, I am instructed byfthe board to mako a brief reply. Mr. Lund- bom declares that the preamble of the board of trade resolution contains two statements which are not true. These statements were (1) that the citizens ratified the contract between the Southern Railway Co. and Sheaffe k Co., and (2) that the ratepayers agreed, by vote, to pay a bonus of 9150,000 to the Southern Railway. The board maintains that both its statements are correct, As to the first, it is only necessary to say that before and after the vote on the by-law several influential meetings of citizens wero held, at every one of which the scheme of the railway, including the agreement, was heartily endorsed. One of the meetings was called by persons who, with Mr. Lundboni, were opposed to tho arrangements, but nevertheless a resolution approving of the council's action was carried almost unanimously. Moreover, the agreement between the railway company and Sheaffe ft Co. was published before the vote on the by-law was taken, and virtually became a part of the by-law Inasmuch as it was distinctly referred to therein. The by-law without tbe agreement wonld be completely null and void. The vote on. the by-law, therefore, . was an endorsement of the agreement. Tho second charge againat the board of trade is based upon a subterfuge. It Is asserted that the bonus was voted to tbe ferry and workshops, and not to the railway. Now every citizen knows tbat, ia effect, the bonus was voted to the rail* way on certain conditions, of whleh two were the establishment of a competent ferry and the erection and maintenance of workshops, A serious doubt existed as to the power of the oity to give a bonus directly to tho railway, and it was to overcome this difficulty tbat the bylaw specified that part of the scheme comprised in the workshops and ferry. Uut tlie bonus goes to the railway company all the samo on condition that the workshops and ferry are established as therein set forth. It is a distinction without a difference. If Mr. Lundboni should propose to establish a stage line from Port Moody to New Westminster, and this city should offer him a bonus on condition that he erected certain stage houses within its limits, would it make any difference to Mr, Luudbom or the city if the bonus was applied tothe stage houses or tbe Btage line itself, so long as both were established iu accordance with the terms of agreement T No mon does it affect the city's intereit whether the $150,000 bonus voted is applied to the workshops and ferry,- or to the Southern Railway, bo long aj both are secured ; and this ia exactly what the agreement and the by-law provide, Tbe bonus was therefore, a bonus to tho railway, although, for reasons above noted, it waa to be applied to that part of the railway scheme comprised in the ferry and workshops ; and the board of trade resolution is perfectly consistent with the facts. Having shown that Mr. Lundbom is entirely Tn error with respect to these two propositions, thoro is very little else to be said. It may not be out of place, how* ever, to observe that if tbe agreement is eliminated from the by-law, as Mr. Lundbom seems to wish, It may happen that we shall get no railway for our bonus at all I The by-law itself does not contain a single clause requiring the company to build a railway, but only to erect workshops and establish a ferry. If the agreement is not made a part of the by-law, therefore, tbe city may find itself in possession of empty workshops and an elaborate ferry for either of whtch it might be very difficult to find any practical use whatever ; and for these monuments of Its excessive liberality It would be compelled to pay $150,0001 Mr. Lundbom next attacks the board of trado because its resolution deprecated tlio action of himself and others in attempting to prevent the carrying out of the scheme, and declares that tbe object of the injunction was merely to force tbe city council to abide by the conditions of the by-law. Has Mr. Lundbom forgotten tbat his injunction was aimed at the quashing of the by-law, as well aa setting aside the board of trustees f When the matter came before courts the injunction against the by-law itself was dropped, but that does not affect the perfect correctness of the board of trade resolution. Mr Lundbom further intimates that if the injunction had not prevailed the company would now have the money voted under tho by-law, but the assertion is not accompanied by evon an attempt to prove its correctness. Under the agreement not one dollar of the de* benture money could be paid out except by consent of Masters Robert Dickinson, Jas. Cunningham and D. S. Curtis; and it Ib the opinion of tho board of trade that public confidence In these gentlemen is auch as to warrant It in accepting the arrangement aa a sufficient safeguard against a misapplication of the trust funds. In conclusion let it be known that the board of trade has no ticket In the field for the coming election, and the question ofputtirg forward or supporting any person to represent its views in the council lias never been discussed at any of its meetings.

It bohooves the municipal electors to bo wary nnd allow no woolâ or moss--to be stuffed into their oyes. The apostles of mossbackism nro making a dying, but tlcspcrato kick on this occasion, and in 1 insiduous, but all tho moro danger* ous, guise. The correspondence columns of a local paper are being deluged with special pleadings by anonymous scribblers, who uro also scattering irresponsible effusions broadcast We would say to the electors, Swallow nothing; think for yourselves. There ure two sides to every question. We have something to say to-day on tho othor sido, Wo would repeat, that it behooves the electors to be wary. The fight between progress and mossbacfcisni is b-.-ing forced, by the emissaries of tho latter. The question will bu settledâand settled practically for »oodâat the elections on Monday, whethor we aro to advance or rtdogade, whether wo uro to take our rightful place as ono of tho lending citiesâif not the loading nityâin this province, or ignominious])* crawl into a back seat and rusticate and rust. Upon the elector; is the responsibility. Let them look to it. Now that tbe question has beon rrtised for the first timo by a correspondent in the columns of tho Guardian, with regard toMhe new city charter authorizing the taxing of reproductive improvements of city property, it -my not be amiss to examine the pros mul cons uncut thnt subject. ''Taxpayer " in the Guardian of Wednesday has spoken on the subject »s con., and "Another Taxpayer" speaks in today's issuo of TnB Columbian us a pro. Tho object, in the first place, for not taxing improvements in New Westminster was to encourago tbe growth of the place, uud those who wore able to take the advantage of so liberal eu couragement havo profitted by it to their advantage. Rents have been high, notwithstanding the liberal inducement to build free from taxation, and the great burden of supporting the city government has so far not been borne by those whose property has been protected, iu proportion to the advantages they have onjoyod. To take a fair, candid view of the matter, we will suppose that A, U and O invest an equal sum of money in land, without any conditions as to making improvements. A, after paying for his land, has cash on hand to build a fine house and fill it with valuable commodities for sale. B and 0 are not able to do so, but are obliged to hold on to their land in hopes to sell at a profit. In the meantime, according to law or usage, a fire engine, with all its equipments and expense, must bu kept up by taxation on A, B and G's real estate for the express purpose of protecting A's fine store, full of goods. The question comes up, How is this tax to be levied 1 A says, On the value of the land. B and 0 reply, And your fine store building, to protect which from destruction by fire tho tax is to be raised, must go seott free* only for your building no tax would be needed; then again, we must employ night-watchmen to protect your fine building, full of valuable goods, from burglars, and we, who have nothing but land to protect, must pay as much us you, who are tho cause of all this trouble and expense J No, sirree; thut is played out; you have been protected long enough at our expense; in futuro you must pay your own night-watchmen, and a share of every other municipal expense, out of the profits of your lucrative business. Modify the same illustration, or curry it a littlo far- then, and the samo forcible argument is presented, to every fair and reasoning mind, of the expediency and justice of taxing improvements according to their value, as against the unequal and played out system of taxing the land only. Suppose that, in the course of time, B and C, having held on to their land, become able to build a small cottage each on their lots., of littlo monetary value; thoy could well afford, under these circumstances, to pay a pro rata tax on their improvements, in addition to the tax on the land alone; for the reason that, if A paid the â¢ same pro rata tax on his large nnd reproductive improvements, a sufficient sum would be realized for municipal purposes without making the sum of B's and O's taxes, on both lots and improvements, so high as it wonld have been in the case of taxes being levied on the land alone. Thia puts the onus of taxation where it belongsâupon those who aro ablo to pay itâevery man according to his ability, and according to the protection and advantage accruing to him- from municipal or civil government At having his lot built up solid, say ten Btories high, and renting every flat in offices and â tores â realizing perhaps $150 a month from each floor, B and 0â poor menâhaving a cabin eaoh in a corner of their respective lotsâthe remainder of tho ground "going to gnm,n with perhapi a wwggy oow | and a few scrawny chickens picking, up a livingâB and O the meanwhile earning small wages in some of A's stores. And B and O paying equal sums in taxation into the municipal treasury with tho princely A! Tut, tut, nonsense man! You must be drivelling indeed! No, let A pay bis own taxes. As B and O got better off, they will cheerfully pay according to their improved fortunesâin proportion to their reproductive improvements. The time is past in Westminster for giving n bonus to ordinary building improvements; this system might have served a sort of makeshift purpose at one timo in our history, when we were just dying to hear the noise of tho hammer nnd the saw in tho land; but it was never a just ono, and, if any excuse over existed for it, it is lacking now. We have attained to a different status altogether. Thon our town wus obscure, unknown, progressing snail-like, if it progressed at all, Now we are known, sought after, progressing with giant stridesâwhich, however, is but an earnest of what is in store for us in tho near future. Buildings are goins* up on overy hand and many moro are projected, Capitalists aro not the fools that somo peoplo appear to think them. They will continue to build here, because it pays to do so; they will not be bribed to build just for the satisfaction (.) of reflecting that they don't have to pay taxes on thoir improvements. No, no; we can well afford at this stage to have a just system of taxationâone that shall not grind tho poor at the expense of the rich and starve the municipal treasury at the samo time. Wo can well afl'ordâwo can not afford to be without it any longer!âan equal system of taxation all round, whioh shall at the same time onable us to undertake such necessary municipal improvements ns will in turn attract an increased flow of capital nnd population to our city. Those, too, upon whom the taxation of improvements would bear heaviest immediatelyâthose who have the largest intorests in tho placeâwould be tho very first to benefit from the beneficent results of this just taxation. They would speedily find the income-producing power of their " improvements " quadrupled and the value of their land raised from hundreds to thousands. There is the obverse, too, to bo looked at. For we shall never progress under the old style. And not to progress in these jostling days is to drift rapidly to the rear-âto become discreditedâoverlooked â side-tracked âcounted out of the running. Of what satisfaction, then, will bo crumbling improvements, tennntless blocks, and depreciating real estate? It is true, the rather melancholyâ but, perhaps, to the mossback fraternity, juicyâsatisfaction would remain, that very soon thero would be practically nothing but " land " loft to taxâa return to first principles with a vengeance. But we are convinced that no such unhappy tate will befall the royal city; that her citizens, both rich and poor, have got their eyes open too wide to allow any anonymous, mole eyed scribbler to persuade them to cut their own throats or take slow poison either, We believe that at the municipal elections on Monday Old Pope Mossback, in this community, which, like Bunyan's ugly ogre, can do little now but sit at his cave's mouth, biting his nails, grinning and growling, will got his worthless brains knocked out forever, by a well played club in the hands of a courageous and lusty public opinion, determined to advance. So mote it be. Amen. Jos. Beaudin, M.D., Hull, P.Q., writes: "Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil commands a large and increasing salo which it richly merits.

Fow people who stand beforo a finished monuthoht or mantel, or even a soda-water fount In a drug store, and admire the highly-polished variegated marble, says the New York Commercial Advertiser, realize the umount of time and labor that bas been expended in the evolution of the completed structure from the raw materials. Tho highly-colored varieties are found chiefly in Italy, Spain, Prance, Belgium, or Portugal, though sometimes In Mexico or Algeria. Tho white stone ia common in this State. Among the marbles which most frequently enter into composition of fancy apparatus aret ({«â 'A &S [, f, Italian-white, vernal aud clouded, with bluish gray; Etrurianâpure porcelain whito, Sara- noisa shaded cream white, veined with dark gray; Algerian and Mexican onyxâtranslucent white, veined with opaauo white, yellow, or pink iBardiglloâdelicately veined graySnnan* cohnâshaded pearl gray, dashed with camel* iun red; Siennaâgolden yellow, clouded with whito and veined with olive and brown; Ten. nesBoeâchocolate, frosted with white; Genoa âgreen; Brocatelârichly mottled, yellow, purple, brown, white and red; Violet Iirocatelâ purple, mottled and veined with goldon yellow; Lisbonâreddish; Gryotto of France -doop rod, shaded with red and brown; Gryotto Floureâ purplish rod, mottled with pearl white; Warwick-brilliant red, veined with white; Belgianâvelvety black; African â yellow, with purple veins; Rouge Antiqueâdeep red; Knox* villoâgrayish pink, with light blue velnlng, The colored marbles retain their freshness longer and can bo repollshed after many years' use. Tho marble is extracted from the quarry In oblong blocks cut out by means o! Exoept when designated for statuary or building purposes tho first thintt the manufacturer does is to place the block of marble under a gang-saw ln order to saw It into slabs. The gang-saw consists merely of a scries of parallel saws, to which an oscillating motion is Imparted while thoy aro kept fed with sand and water.' When thoy come from tho gang-saw the slabs are generally about 1% inches thick, so that they may dress to one inch when rubbed on both sides. Tho slabs are then inspected. To tha Inexpcrionced eye the rough slabs are much ulilto, and while the good qualities of tha slab aro only fully brought out under Uw polisher's mop, the imperceptible defects are also magnified very muoh. It is therefore necessary to detect flaws before the polishing begins. The perfect slabs are cut into required lengths by a rip-saw and passed to the rubbing bed to bo rubbed smooth. The rubbing bed consists of a solid horizontal cast-Iron wheel about four Inches thick and usually about twelve or thirteen feet in diameter. This wheel is fixed In a vertical shaft which revolves on two chilled steel friction halls, placed one upon the other, and inclosed in a cast-iron box which is kept well supplied with oil. The box itself is firmly imbedded in a stone foundation, and the entire structure is mado as true and as steady as possible. It requires a great deal of care and attention to keep the rubbing-bed perfectly true; and it Is sometimes necessary to rub it down for a whole week with hluestone in order to keep the surface smooth. When the slab leaves the rubbing-bed It Is comparatively smooth, and Is ready to bo cut out by hand into its final shape. It thon passes into the hands of the polishers, who are provided with rubbers made of ordinary ticking rolled up Into a mop of about three or four mchos in diameter and sewed firmly through and through. With these they rub tho surface of the slab back and forth, hour aftor hour, until they bring out tho high polish so muoh admired. The marble is first rubbed with grit, then with pumice- stone, and then with hono. On somo white marbles oxalic acid is thon used, and finally tho finishing touches are given with putty ot zinc. On colored marbles emery and French putty, prepared with sulphur and lead, are used. It is estimated that each square foot of surface polished costs one man four hours of steady work. ln gilding, four or five gold leaves are blown Into a cushion made of a board covered with chamois. The gilder cuts it Into strips a quarter of an inch wide, lays it on tho marble with his "tip," thon "cottons" It on, after which he rubs it down with a fine hair brush in order to smooth tho laps and form an even and continuous surface. He thoa cleans off the edges with cuttle fish. Great dexterity is acquired by gliders, and thoy seem to handle with tbe greatest easo the delicate gold leaf which tho slighost breath Of air is sufficient to carry off, and which in inexperienced hands is utterly unmanageable. The variegated, dark-colored marbles aro most expensive, but they aro also generally hardor and more durablo, as â¢well as moro beautiful, than those that are white or light colored.. Tho common white marble, which is not so valuable from an ornamental point of view, has a separate value as being tho best basis for tho production of carbonic acid gas for the manufacture of" soda'1 water and alt other carbonated beverages, and a largo trade is done in it for this purpose. It has succeeded whiting and bicarbonato yot soda in this respect on account of its r cheapness. A barrel of good marble-dust, weighing about 400 pounds, costs 11.25. An equal quantity of whiting costs about (3.50, and produces no more gas. A like weight of bicarbonate of soda produces a double amount of gas, hot costs about 17. At far m chemical composition is concerned marble and whiting are analogousâ both are carbonates of lime, and when i equally puro both contain the same amount of carbonic acid. Whiting, however, is rarely, if ever, as pon as marble. It consists chiefly of the remains of extremely small animalcules. A PHANTOM TRAIN. Strange Spectacle Seen In the Rarefied Air or the Black Hills. My companion then spoke concerning our mission to this bleak and barren spot, says a writer In tho Leadvillc (Col.) Herald In courso of a description of tho lonely landscape of tho Centennial Stato, "About twelve years ago," he Bald, "an old man by tho name of Cearuals was tho proprietor of a jock'truin with which housed to bring provisions and othor commodities into that mining camp you 'seo beneath you there. This wus beforo tho railroads entered tho fastnesses of thoso mountains, and every thing was brought by mule teams or by thoso Jock trains Into the camp. Tho treasures which were found in tho bills wero carried out the same way. "Ono timo the old man Ccarnals did not arrive in tho camp oh timo. 'Twos In tho wintor-ond tho coldest ono, too, ever ox* ca,iorlonced In those hills. A searching party was sent out to find bim and his train, us tho people who had goods consigned to him feared that some accident bad bofallen blm. Neor whero we aro now Is whore ho and his train were found frosen to death. Aud now each night may be seen the jack train j ust as thoy woro, but In the form of specters, filing along tho way to tho camp. Got out and wo will go down the trail a piece and see them." We got out of the buggy, and fastening the horse to a stunted pine, wo descended the other side of the range on the rood to Alma. Aftor a most perilous and tortuous walk of half an hour, on account of tho.slippery condition of ' the ground, which , wu covered with show,. my companion led me to * point; near tho old Leadvlllo trail, which could bo distinctly seen abovo us against tho sido of tho mountain. Looking at his watch, ho remarked that it was almost timo for 'thorn' to appear. After kicking tho snow from a couplo of bowlders wo sat down and in el- lencc awaited developments. Hy compan. lon would not say a word, but simply puffed away at a cigar, his looks being cast ln tho direction of the trail. Wo waited half an hour,. but it seemed a week to mo, a cold wind having arisen, and I was almost frozen and was wishing myself at home. "Suddenly my companion clutched mc nervously by the arm and pointed to the trull. Tho sight that I saw mado each Individual hair on my head stand on ond, for there oV tho trail, coming around a shady angle caused by a bowlder.wos a jack train of twenty-three animals. 'Thoy all emitted a faint phosphorescent glow, which mado them appear all the moro vivid against tho sido of tho hill. They were loaded with different articles of merchandise, and the last ono which tho spectral driver was urging on with his short goad seemed to be loaded with flour. Every once in u whilo as tho train slowly filed along, this last jack would lean his load against a projecting rock, ad if resting himself. This would causo the drivor to punch it with his short stick. Tho weird specters slqwly passed from view around tho hill, and, moro dead than alivd from fright, we made our *vay to whero wo had loft tho horso ond buggy. My companion informed me, whilo on our way back to tho clty.that this strange.Bight could bo scon any dark night" THE HOTEL DINING-ROOM. Observations Made by a Man Who Knows .How to Vsa, His Byes, Wo arc now in the dining-room of a Protty Good Hotel, says a writer in tho Detroit Free Press. Wo can see soven-nine-ten*twotve-flfteen, about nineteen men, picking their teeth whilo they wait for dessert! Who aro these mon 1 Tliey are tho mon who keep this hotel running. Thoy uro drummers. Did you hear that distinguished-looking lady remark to her escort that thin town seems to be pretty common) Whilo you are watching the waiter girls as thoy burst out of tho kitchen one by one you might also glance from timo to time at this distinguishod-looking lady and sou her cat. Does sho carry food to her mouth with hor fork! Yes, and with her knife, too; knife and fork alternately. Seel Meat on fork, potnto on knife; cucumber on fork, cold slaw ou knifeâdoesn't she do it welli ,.r â And who Is this lady! Sho.

Now she sees ub aud comes to take our order. We will have some soup V fish. When she had brought the soup and fish tho nlco waiter girl will give ub some butter and some crackers and some salt and pepper in a dainty, graceful manner; thou she will slightly move our knife and fork and fix things all nlco, and then she will aland quietly by our choir, clear her throat and say iu a gentle, subdued tone, but very rap- Idly: " ItoaB1 muttin' roas} beef broumgravy rous' chicken roas' Iamb loinervcal stuffed boll ham tongue queen fritters col* meats."

Bee how tho beautiful leading lady drinks water, with her forefinger In tho tumbler. Did you see that nice-looking couplo over thoro at the flrst table, this way from the second window but onoi Why do they sit there so serious and abstracted, speaking never a word to each other! Because they are just married. Though they're quite still they love each other dearly. Thnt freckled young man has just hud a finger-bowl put before him and hodocsu't know what to do with it, Perhaps ho thinks: Can this be soup como again I The nice waiter girl has just kicked open tlio kitchen door and there sho comes bearing down on us with a heavy tray. We will stop looking around and see what she has forgotten to bring us. SAVED BY A BLUFF. A Fow Hun-els of Gold Rolled In In Sight of Depositors Stops a ltiin. General Mike Ryan, in talking of the Metropolitan Bank failure, rei-ilntly told a Cincinnati Tikgram reporter a good story illustrating the power of bluff. It was in connection with his assertion that with littlo further aid from the other bunks In tho city the Metropolitan might have been saved. He said: 111 have a brother connected- with a bank In Leavenworth, Kan. Thero nre two banks thero, and tlio rival to that of my brol her was in a shaky condition. Tho president came to Matt and told him tho circumstances, and that if there was a run tho bank would bo unablo to stand it. Mutt told him to keep a stiff upper lip, for ho knew thut the failure of tho other bank meant tho failure of his own. Ho jumped on iho train, wont to Kansas City, got -.'40,000 in coinâ gold and silverâIn barrels,.ran back to Leavenworth with tho specie, and got half a dozen d'-ays to tho depot to take the barrels to tho bank. Mcaulimo tho crow' of depositors had begun to gather at the bank, demanding their money, and tho old man was talking to them to gain time. All at onco they saw tko drays coining up, landed down with tbeso barrels. Matt was with tho treasure, and shouted to tho crowd to wait about fivo minutC3 nnd they'd get their money, as it'was thero in tlio barrels. " In unloading the barrels, ono of them dropped and broko, so that, through a crack, tho anxious depositors could soo the shining golil, and, as it rolled up tho steps. of tho bunk, £5-gold pfocee kept dropt/iir: out, and woro pickcd'Vitf by tho**J.initc*r. When tho coin was all rolled in, Mat t camo out again and told all who had money thoro to go In nnd got It, as tho bank proposed i j pay them all off and start fresh, and didn't want such a cowardly lot of depositors any way. AU the timo ho was piling on the indignation ho didn't want to bo taken at his word, as tho bank had only $10,000 cash on hand, against $00,000 of deposits mado. He had brought (40,000, but there wus still a shortage of $40,000. However, tlio gamo worked. Tho people woro reassured by tho sight of tho barrels of coin und weut away satisfied. The run was averted and the bank pulled through all right." fioal,Wood^Bark THE UNDERSIGNED KEEPS CON- stnntly In stock the BEST WELLINGTON GOAL ALSO Wood and Bark, Whleh he will sell ut the LOWEST RATES und deliver promptly. na.

Crtieenl, who wus cheered to tho echo by tho densely-packed audience who tilled every accessible nook In tho vast amphitheater, Tho performance lagged a littlo, and tho bulls would not fight In spito of all tbo plcndorcs might do. Ono or two of tho bulls, aftor having been. successfully goaded and worri-fd without, working them up to tho proper lighting point, had been Igaomlnlously driven out. of tho arena, and a new ono, full of light und fairly bellowing with rage, hid just boon turned Into tho amphitheater, when a Texas cowboy who was present announced, fori ho honor and glory of Texas, that he would rido Uio bull, his legs tied around tho animal tf neck, hia faco to tho toll, If thoy would lirst throw tho bull so that ho could got hia lcg*i properly around and underneath tho bcust's neck.

They also wish to know if any inducement would'be offered by the city to parties building auch a mill. Mr. Strickland saya fully $15,- 000 worth of machinery would be required for this mill and when completed it would givo employment to a large number of hands.

Ontario Turkeys are taking the place of game on the market since the supply of ducks, geese and grouse hss begun to run short. W. H.

A Horry Attempt. In to-mnrrow's issue we will talto up and expose thu false statements made in a circular signed "The lnjunctora" and which was spread about tho city to-day with the evident intention of misleading the electors. Unforl unato- ly for "Tlio lnjunctora" tho circular fell tint, the quality and character of the men who c -nip i-scd it being too woll known t<> command nny influence or respect. L ick of space prevents us dealiiif- with the circular to-day. ***â . â â .- The Udynmer Arrested. Ladies m the neighborhood of Quadra utrect, near North Park, have been very nervous of late, owing to tho sctions of an old man, who has followed them uu the streets, and in . one or two instances insulted them. Last evening, while Oflicer Thomas was on Pnndora street, two ladies pointed nut to hiin the old reprobate in question, who proved to be a very grey-haired man of over sixty sum- men. ! He whs walking smartly up the street whon arrested, evidently to renew hii efforts at terrorising lady pedestrians. The two ladies wero positive us to his identity, and he was accordingly looked up fur the night, and will appear in court to*day.âfPe</»es* day's Colonist. Mr, John Magwood, Victoria Road, writes: "Northrop A Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cnro is a splendid medicine, My customers say thoy never used anything so effectual.

I have no hesHation In recommending it in any case of Indigestion, Constipation, Heartburn, or troubles arising from a disordered stomach." A Shed Wrecked. Shortly after 0 o'clock this morning tho freight shed on Austin's wharf suddenly collapsed and fell to tho ground a mere heap of debris. A more complete wreck could not have been caused by nn explosion of dynamite. The walls fell outwardsâthe outer wall falling into tho river while tho other covered tho railway track. A fow bales of hay were carried with tlio wreck into the river, but were fished out again before getting water logged. The shed was filled with grutn, hay and merchandise, but luckily nono of it sustained serious damage. Mr. Austin places his loss at fully $G00. Fortunately no one was on tho wharf at the timo the accident occurred, otherwiso fatal results would have attended the collapse. The building at best was a flimsy affair and not of a strength calculated to bear tho weigh of the goods stored in it. The I.i-.<-t of llie Strike. A mass mooting of the striking miners was held nt Wellington on Tuesday piprniiig. and it was reaok-ed that owing to tho large increase each day in the number of miners going to work, that it would be advisable, in tho interests of all, to declnte the strike off. A motion to this effect was made, and after considerable discussion it was carried. A committee was appointed to interview Mr. Bryden, manager of the mines, and ask hiin if ho would give a list of the names of thoso who would not be employed; but that gentleman declined to do so. Tho action of declaring the strike ended was largely duo to the married men having families who did not wish under the existing circumstances to continue an ill-udvised light Great satisfaction is expressed in Nanaimo over the decision of the miners as the stand taken by the men was looked upon from the first us unnecessary and uncalled for. Mysterious. At about half-prist 2 o'clock this morning an express wagon was Been to stop opposite a house on a certain street, and the driver knocked at the door in a mysterious kind of n way, glancing furtively up and down the street at tlie same time. In answer to his summons the door was carefully opened and a low voice Baid, "All right." A moment after tho door opened and two men appeared, bearing a long, oblong box, which appeared to bo heavy. The men were closely muffled up and their countenances could not be seen. One of them appeared to be about five feet six inches, and had a Blight stoop; the other wus tall. The box carried by the men was deposited in tho wagon, and the driver mounted his scat nnd swiftly drove away. Tho two men returned to the house, tho door was closed and all was still. The actions of the men wero mysterious, to say the least, and perhaps a deep and dark tragedy lies under nil these guarded movements.â Vicotria Standard, Tuesday, Children Cryfor Pitcher".* Castoria Onr Southern Railway. A Whatcom despatch of the 12th inst says: "The report that the Northern Pacific Railroad Company iB nego- tating for the purchase of the Cantield railroad franchise from Tacoma to New Westminster is hardly fresh news. For a long time propositions have been pending, the obstacles to the transfer being that heretofore theNort hern Pacific has beon unwilling to agreo to build immediately. Both Oakes and Buckley, of the Northern Pacific, are known to be friendly to the idea of extending the Northern Pacific Railroad to the lower Sound and to n connection with the Canadian Pacific via the Oanfield route; and Tacoma also sees in this projects way to reach the lower Sound business by rail. It is natural that tho Not thorn Pacific would sook terminal grounds at Whatcom, while rival roads like thu Union Pacific and West Const arc locating lines to Ship Harbor and to the Canadian Pacific. The Cunliold branch would givo tlio Northern Pucific a better route to tho Oanandinn Pacific and a superior harbor on Bellinj-hani Bay, and at the sntue time tup the Canadian west of tlio West Coast, so as to reach trado from the west first. No love haa been lost between tho Northern Pacific and Seattle, and their relations are not strengthened by tho West Ci ast schemo of the Queen City, so it is natural that both Tacoma und tho Northern Pscitio should desire connection with tho northern country via the Cantield extension of the Northern Pacific. Evon the loyal city of Vancouver Ib willing to voto a largo bonus to the Northern Pacific to extend on to Coal Harbor. Of course the Canadian Pacific don't like this, an it owns about two-thirds of the land around' Vancouver; but the people have the vote and can force the Oanadian Pacifio to pay most of the bonus to induce hor rival the Northern Pacific to extend to thst place. With the Oanfield extension the Northern Pacific would lmve a direct line from Duluth to the western terminus of the Oanadian Pacific, Puget Sound and British Columbia are to-day making more rapid progress than uny other portion of the United States, and we can readily conceive why the great Northern Pacific desires to extend her trans-continental line to tho nenrest and best harbor at tho entrance to the Sound from the soaâ Bellingham Bay. The deal for the Oanfield railroad will probably bo erected about tho 15th, and although the Hne will be under tho management of Mr. Oanfield, the Northern Pacifio will be the virtual owner. The stockholders of the Oanfield Railroad will moot in Seattle on the 10th to transact important business." Archbishop Tacho interviewed Hon. Mr. Dowdney Tuesday on the continuance of a land grant to tho Manitoba Colonization Society, as n large number of Belgian immigrants ore expected to arrive in the spring. GRANT FOR MAYOR! Special to The Columblnn.1 Victoria, Jnn. 17.-Grant re-elected mayor, by two hundred and twenty majority. A Critic Criticised The New Westminster Columbian is too captious and by far too sensitive. In its issue of yesterday it rail* at the World severely nnd indulges in adjec* tives which aro entirely unnecessary and quito uncalled for. Had our co- temporary road tho whole of the sentence in reference to the alleged calling out of the militia last Saturday and been as candid to its opponents as it claims to bo truthful, it would havo observed that the sentence is incomplete for tho words "was discussed" wore omitted from the sentence. Wo reproduco tho sentence as printed to show the absurdity of the contention of our pugilistic neighbor of tho Royal City, "This created some excitement, and the calling out of tho militia to prevent a landing of either the vessel or her passengers." This is the sentence ns it appeared, add the words wan discussed, and it will be complete. Dense indeed must hnvo been tho Columbian scribo if ho did uot observo the incniiipletcncsa of this sentence.âWort d. Pettishly un* reasonable must be our esteemed Vancouver cotemporary to imagine that "The Columbian scribe" can exercise his assumed gift of clairvoyaucy at such a distanco nnd road what was in tho mind of tho World scribe either before or nfter the fact.

He descended the Mackenzie River to the Arctic Ocean and it is expected that his report will be illustrated, as he succeeded in getting photographs with his camera, which was destroyed far north en his homeward journey. The proposal of the United States republican senators to impose a duty of I cent per lb. on Canadian fish ox- ported to the United States does not create any apprehension at Ottawa.

To the Municiptd Electors of New Westminster City: LADIE3AND GENTLEMEN,- _ Having been requested by a number of citizens to allow mysolf to be a candidate for alderman, nnd having been duly nominated, I consider it necessary to make known to you some of my views regarding a few of the important city interests. As regards railway matters, I am solid; and having been connected with railways for over six years, I am confident that it is to the best interests of this oity to make itself a railway centre, I believo the new council should imnic- mediately lay tho foundation for a first- class water works and thorough sewerage system. I shall endeavor to have all moneys that can advisedly be taken from our resources used to beautify our park, knowing that such is ono of the greatest health-giving benefits any eity can have, both for the old as well as for tho young. This being the year for the provincial exhibition to be held in this city, I will do my utmost to make it a grand success, I will give my hearty support to anything that may be brought forward of vital interest to this city. I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, djal7t3 S. It. WEBB. NKN WEHTKINSTEn, B. C, December 17,1889.
