Ii&ngicj* Prairie School. The Christmas examination of the Langley Prairie public school was held on Friday, 20th inat. A ihort oral examination was conducted by the teacher, W. J. Mufford. The trustees and parents present were treated to a variety of recitations and readings, af* ter which the the results of the written examination held during the previoui sessions of the week were read. Tho following pupils obtained praiseworthy percentages and high positions in their respective clauses: Fourth classâ1st Samuel Lannon, 2nd Bessy Cameron; third classâ1st George Lsrmon, 2nd Chas. T. Muffiird; second class-Ut Kato Cameron, 2nd Mary J. McLeod; first classâ1st Annie Cameron, 2nd Rose Smock. At thoeoncluskmof the examination Mr, N. Larmon, trustee, after wishing all a merry Christmas and a prosperous Now Year, expressed himself as well satisfied with the progress of tho pupils, especially commending the spelling as displayed in a stubbornly contested spelling match, in which Master S. Lannon came off victorious. Mr, Larmon closed by offering n few words of well-seasoned advice to the pupils. Mr. H. Davis, secretary of the trustee board, complimented teacher and pupils upon the success of the examination and thought the manner in which the children had answered the questions reflected credit upon tin* efforts of tho teacher. Ho also spuko of some improvements to be made during the vacation for the comfort of the pupils, snd concluded by wishing them a merry Christmns and a happy New Year. HIGH STAKES. Cutting the Cards for Four Thansand Dollars. It is nut often that tho '-ruling pas* sion" for gambling is carried tu such a high pitch as au occurrence which happened on Friday night last will show. One of the principals was a business man of .porting propensities and the othor was one of the many -'professional" class of sharpers who havo of lato and aro at present infesting the city. The citizen and the stranger at first engaged in a little friondly chat, thon a social '-smile," and finally wound up in shaking dice fur Etukes varying from $20 to 8100 a side until the citizen had lost all the monoy ho had with him, about 01000. Becoming exasperated and eager to retrieve his losses, ho then proposed to cut the cards for $1,000 with tho stranger. This the stranger won and again they out the cards for double the previoui stake, $2,000, and tho stranger again won. Tho climax was readied when the proposition to cut for $4,000 a side was made. The stranger cut first, cutting a fairly low card, a five spot. The oitizen cut a threo spot. This made him a loser of $7,000, exclusive of the $1,000 previously lost. The stranger then demanded payment of tho $7,000 lost, and the citizen, being somewhat under the influence of liquor, drew hii check for the amount. On proceeding to cash hia check in the morning, the stranger took with him a saloon keeper in order to make his idontity certain at the bank. On presenting tho check, after being duly marked, to the teller for payment, tho tatter at once became suspicious at tho excited and timid manner of the porson presenting it, and requested it tu stand over until the drawer was consulted. A short timeaftorthisthe particulars were mndo known, and paymont of tho check was stopped, and tho stranger wob arrested, but secured his liV<*rty on handing baok the chock for $7,000 and disgorging the full amount of the $1000 won in the first place from his victim.â Times, NORTH ARM BRIDGES. Beport or the Enalaeera on the Construction aud MaterialâAction Taken by Ihe Richmond Council. At the last meeting of the Richmond Council the following roport from the engineers appointed to examine the North Arm bridges was received; To the Reeve and Council, Municipality of Richmond: Ui'NTi.KMi****âIn compliance with your request, we carefully examined tlie new bridge aver the North Arm ot the Fraser on iln.' Sih inst., but regret that even bo tbe ilalii nl onr command Ib defective ln sovoral Important items, such as a penonal knowledge of tbo run and actions of drift ico, logM, treoH, roots, etc., at site of lirldgcH during winter and high wuter. Definite Information iih to the nature of the bed of the river, depth to which the pUoshave been driven and resUtence of Name to the last blow of the hammer; what testis, if any, have been mode by (stationary and moving loads on the truHBea, etc. These and Home other Items -of Information are of such importance that, In our Judgment, without tliem no conscientious engineer would venture on a definite and decided opinion on to the ultimate strength and durability.j-if-the structure, From suoh Information, however, as we could obtain from careful personal inspection of the locality, coupled -with tbe statements of Huvenifpersonn living for years in the Immediate neighborhood, aa woll as from oloie examination of the work as it stands at present, we beg to report as follows! Piers.âAssuming that the bed of the river ii of auch a nature as to afford a good holding and a firm bearing for tbe piles, also that they have been well and faithfully driven, so as to afford a proper re* Hlhtence to the final blow of the hammer, say one-half Inch tothe blow of one ton (ailing 10 to ifi feet, still the piers,in our opinion, are far from being perfect or suitable for the locality and purpose Intended. Inthe flrst place, we consider them entirely too low, Inasmuch aa daring high water there would hurdly be room enough between the "needle beams" of the bridge and tho water forthe clear passage of a large branchy tree, such as we understand Ih often drifted down the Fraser; while the spider wheels and running gear of the swing bridge are greatly exposed to dam* age from similar causes, or even from an ordinary Ice-Jam, and, ln addition to this, the piers do not appear to be properly braced, Then, In the second place, they are too short, which, coupled with the fact that they bave not been driven ln line, has, ln the efforts to keep the superstructure straight, necessitated the placing of the "nip blocks" supporting tbe sloping end posts in several places on the very edge of tbe pier, sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other. (See sketches 1 and 2.1 Then the Ice-breakers on tbe ends of the piers, Instead of subserving any useful purpose, are, in our opinion, far more likely, through the nlco sloping slide they offer, to facilitate the shoving up of the drift Ice, logs, Umber, etc., against the superstructure, and bo possibly, Inthe event of an extra heavy jam, shove the end of a truss clear off the pier on which, as weobserved before.thcy nave ln various places a very scant bearing, and, bo far as we could observe, are only kept in place by their own weight, no bolts, Bpikes or fastenings of any kind being visible. Now we are of courso aware that, although we do not approve of the general design or these Ice-breakers, still other engineers might think they would answer well onough for the locality: but as to tbe workmanship, we believe there cannot be a second opinion; lt Is simply ridiculous, no verbal description would give a correct Idea of It. A set of good, well-chosen photographs would alone, ln tbo nbsenceof personal inspection,enable one to judgo of the childish attempt lhat has been made towards planking tbem ln. Instead of being thoroughly and carefully encased wltb stout six-inch timbers, calculated to withstand the Impact of drift Ice, logs, trees, etc,, and bo laid as to offer a smooth, unbroken surface from end ta ond and from low water clear up to the bridge-seat, they are patched up (no other word can describe it) with bits of plank, often not over three feet long, partially spiked or nailed 10 the plles.the ends of several of them being loose, flapping in (The water, while there are so many holes, openings aud projecting ends of cross timbers that branches, roots ot trees, etc., coming ln contact with them would most likely get caught In tbe pier and so form a nucleus fora Jam, the result of which might be very serious Indeed. SUPEnsTKOCTURE.âAs regards lhe general principle and plan of construction of the trusses of the bridge, we do not think It necessary to go Into any elaborate calculation as to the strain on tho aeveral rods, timbers, nuts and screws in the structure, or of their st length to resist such strain, more particularly as all such calculations are based on the assumption thnt all bearings, fittings, Joints, etc., ure mathematically correct, so that each member has to bear tbe exact strain it is calculated for. Now, as In these trusses, sueh is far from being the case, as any one ean observe, some of the rods being quite lax, while ethers are subject to considerable strain, and some of the timbers being quile loose were it not for the wedges that have been used to keep them in place. Any such scientific calculation as to the ultimate breaking load of the structure would be quite useless, and therefore, instead of that, we would suggest thai after lhe strain on tho several membors has been properly adjusted by means of the screw swivels, nuts and wedges above referred to, a thorough practical test of the strength of tbe structure should be made, as ls universally done In tlie case of railway bridges, stenm boilers, etc. This should be done with hoth stationary aud moving loads, the deflection and vibration being carefully noted ln each caso, while In order to allow a sufficient margin of safety, the weight applied should bi! nt least douhlelhatto which tho bridge would be ever likely to be subjected. Workmassuip.âWtth regard to the material and workmanship, as we mentioned before ln alluding to the fact, of the piers not being In line, we believe there hns been considerable trouble in trying to lieop the superstructure straight and at the same time to have It fit on the piers at all. This has boen accomplished to a considerable extent by shovlngthe superstructure over ln some places to the east edge of tho pier, and In other places to the west edge. But even bo, the several trusses nnd roadway are far from boing In good line. The timber used, as a whole, seems to ho of n*good quality and quite heavy enough for the purposes required; but we are sorry that we cannot say as much for the framing and workmanship. For instnnfe, wo observe thnt tho four ond needle or floor beams of the swing trusses aro considerably bruised up and split atthe ends, and should bo replaced ai once. This seems to be caused partly hy tho faulty plait of connecting the "hog â rods" to thero, nud partly owing to the undue strain put on said hng-ohains, We hnvo nlso to remark lhat the irnn-work of tho ontiro structure Is badly in want of paint, and so fnr as we can seo tho two swing trusses have been put together without any whito lead In the Joints, an omission thut most likely will detract four or flvo years from tho practical life of the bridges. In addition, we mny sny that thore are several other items, suoh ns want ot washers In numerous cases, use of wedges to make good errors in getting out timber to proper lengths, etc., etc., and which are in no way calculated to increase one's faith ln the honesty of the unseen portion of the work. In conclusion, we would say that in lhe absence of tliu plans and specification--; It Ib ont of our powor, even If within onr province, to say where the responsibility lies for tho defects above alluded to, whether In errors, oversights nnd omissions In the plans and specifications, In carelessness on the pnrt of the sub-contractor or other persons doing tho work, or In want of propor superintendence of the work white ln progress. All we oan do Is to report on tho work as we Audit.

B, Gore, surveyor-general, re North Arm Bridges, the following resolution was moved by Councillor Stewart, seconded by Councillor Reidt That whereas the report of the board of engineers appointed by this council to In* spoct tho North Arm bridges, shows that the snld bridges are not completed In a workmanlike and suitable manner; that not only the work on tho piers, but alio the plan of the samo tsnotof a nature calculated to withstand tho action of the Ice and other floating bodies liable to striko thom; Aud whereas this council, relying on tho good faith nnd ability of the government and its oflicers to seo thnt good bridges were built, the more especially n* this council hnd the assurance of the government to lhat effect, or In the words ot tlio hon. provincial secretary, "They would be splendid structttrea, and suitable to the location,** this oouncil took no steps to have tbe plans examined on behalf of this corporation, nor Interfered with the action of the government in re- f;nrd to tbls undertaking, exoept by call- ng the attention of the chief commit* Blonerto the plan of theplers, to the effect tbat there was not sufficient provision made for withstanding the action of tbe ice, etc, In tbe river; And whereas this council, further relying on the good faith of the government ln this matter, not only guaranteed, without condition or proviso, the payment of 113,750 towards the construction of these bridges, but also forfeited its olaim to Its annual allowance of $1000from the government for this year, and for a number of years to any extra expenditure by the govcrnment.witbln the llm'ts,of this municipality, suoh as other municipalities have been receiving.

A Ferry Excited Cwtwpiii<wit Editor Columbian. â Sir: Kindly itate if it is true that a charter is held by some private Individual or the board of trade of Westminster oity to run the disgraceful, unsafe, ill-managed old bcow K de K across the Fraser river as a ferry boat; and If a oharter Is held to runa ferry boat, why on earth do not the government authorities compel those holding the charter to put a safe and Buitablo boat on to accomodate the travelling public, and compel those in oharge of the same to keep the boat clean and run it at regular intervals? I ihould think onr newly elected M. P. P. might Intereit himself in tbe matter, or does he intend to let matters that there is no moneyin for his pocket run wild, as our late member did! Ferry Charter. Deo. 24,1889. Trath Corrected. Editor ColumbusâSir:âKindly allow us space in your columns to correct a statement made by the Truth of Dae. 24th. It Ib there stated that, on account of there being no regular hack stand, persons have to go to the livery stable and pay $2 for hack services which Bhould only cost 50 oents. As most of our citi* aem are aware, there are two hacks stationed (when not otherwise engaged) in front of the Colonial. The hacks are licensed here as in other cities, and the hack ratei are lower than in Vancouver where they are under the supervision of the police. It might, perhapi be well for Truth to ascertain the facts of a caae, in future, before placing it before the public. Thinking you for allowing ua room in yoxa valuable paper for this correction, we remain yours, etc. Gilley Bros. New West., Dec, 26th, 1889. . . , m +. +.â AStttTtMe â rMgf. Editor Columbian.â1)ir: With yonr permission I will occupy space for the following remarks: No penon acquainted with Westminster city and adjoining municipalities for the three years put, will venture to deny that both city and surroundings have made considerable headway, in the shape of buildings, per* raanent settlement if lands, eto-, and of course this means great increase of population both in city and in townships. But the one great aod Important link required to make Westminster city and surroundings truly prosperous and identical one with the other, is a good substantial free traffio bridge, from thli city to Brownsville or some convenient spot, At present It seems very doubtful oven at the completion of the New Westminster Southern Railway, whether we shall not still be dependent on a ferry for crossing the famous Fraser river. The present ferry U only a truly dangerous excuse for a ferry, and exorbitant chargea are collected for that, muoh to the dis- 6race of the government for allowing feand property to bo entrusted on board auch an unsafe anil rotten craft aa the old K de K. The Dominion government and B.C. legislature will shortly meet to consider many important measures, and, as remarked before, a free traflic bridge across tho Fraaer river at Weitminster being of such vast importance in many people's minds, do you not think It advisable for the authorities of the city and the municipalitiea likely to be benefited each to get up separate petitions, aod present them to both houses, asking aa* sistance to meet the expense of building a first olass traffio bridge and one high enough from high water to let ordinary river craft pass under at all times, without danger, and the draw of the bridge to be of sufficient width m admit any vessel afloat up the river. The Dominion government should take into consldera* tiop tho claim tho Fraser river population hu on it; the amount of money that hu been derived from the timber limits of the Fraser river which will be far more overy year In future, should be sufficient claim for assistance; betides this the bridge would give access to ft very large extent to first class unoccupied land suitable to agriculture or fruit growing, and a consequent increase In population, which would mean an increase In customs and revenue, let alone getting the Dominion Pacific cout province settled by people who would cross over the boundary, who eannot find suitable land thore, ns many of them would not remain tn other parts of the Dominion on account of the excessive cold weather. It ahould be taken into consideration, too, that the inhabitants of Vancouver, Port Moody, and all other places wut of the Fraser river, could obtain communication with the municipalities by this bridge. It would be tho beat and most direct route that could be obtained, Observer.

IU.. The terrible accidont that wc are culled upon to chronicle to-day, whereby four men were crushed to death in a cutter, and their two horses met a similar fate, by tho falling of A burning tree on llie North Arm-VÂ«noouvor road, early this morning, will cast a deep gloom over tho holiday festivities both in this city, Vancouver, and throughout a large part of tho district, where the victims of tho awful catastrophe have friends and connections, Doubtless some of the young men who met such a cruel fate have friends and dear onos even far be* yond the confines of this province, in eastern lands, who will be thrilled with horror and grief at the terrible news, It is but feeble consolation to Bay that the profoundest sympathy is felt by all for the friends and relations, here and elsewhere, of tho unfortunate men. In hardly less need of sympathy will be the two occupants of the cutter (one a daughter of Mr. Lawson who was killed) who escaped as by a hairs- breadth tho fearful fate of their companions. The shock to these survivors, to the young girl especially, who saw hor father mangled to death by her side, and herself did not escape unscathed, must be equal to a hundred deaths in the agony endured, and may even prove actually fatal in tho end. Tho accident iu all its details and circumstances (the party just returning from a pleasant Christmas gathering when the frightful catastrophe took place) is ono of the saddest and most awful that has ever hud to be recorded in tho provinco, and emphasizes again the scriptural truth that "In the midst of life we are in death." If thore is any practical lesson to be deduced from this sad calamity, it is that the governmental and municipal authorities should endeavor to protect all rouds under their jurisdiction from such accidents, of which the one chronicled to-day is not the lirst that has occurred in the province. Asia, it is declared, is to bo the next Held for railway development. In the first placo the Russians propose to build in Siberia. The line is to be somewhat after the pattern of tho Canadian Pacific.. At least that is the supposition, seeing that a Russian engineer with a long name has been sent to Canada to examine our great highway and to report upou the points that are worthy of imitation. It is difficult, however, to understand precisoly how a Siberian road can bo made to pay. The passenger traffic is all one way in that country, so that the trains returning to Europe will be empty. And as to freight, there cannot be much of tbat, for the convicts carry â¢ little if any baggage. It may bo that the government does not expect the undertaking to be remunerative at once. All it may be looking for just now is ri new settlement for its unfortunates. China also proposes to build. The empire has until recently objected to railroads, probably ou the ground that they might interfere with the palanquin industry. But it has just awakened to the ncoessity for the iron horse, and the emperor in response to publio opinion has ordered that roads be built. Whon it is mentioned that the lines now projected run from Lu-Kow- Kiao to Cheng-Ting-Fu and from Han Kow to Sin-Van Chow, it will he understood that China is going tho entire animal, or, to uso the language of tho street, the whole hog. In conformity with tho Ohinese system of doing everything hy the rule of contrary tho work of construction has been given to the admiralty. It is presumed that if war ships were required tho railway department would build thom. IIkiie is what America, a staunch, independent and able journal published in Chicago, has to say on the verdict, and sentences, which the jury in the famous Oronin murder case recently rendered: The community familiar with al' tbe facts and evidence in the Oronin oase would have rendered a ver diet of "not proven" against Beggs, of guilty with imprisonment for fourteen years against Kunze, and of guilty with the penalty of death against Burke, O'Sullivan and "Ooughlin. The jury, in the exer- oise of its discretion, has acquitted Beggs, found an accessory to a murder guilty of manslaughter, and let Burke, O'Sullivan and Ooughlin off with their lives. If ever thore was a oase which justified.the imposition of the Mosaic penalty of a life for a life, it was the oase of the state of Illionis against the murderers of Dr. P..H. Oronin. And yet the jury, after hearing tho testimony and finding that' Burke, O'Sullivan and Ooughlin were guilty as oharged, has compromised with crime and ipared their lives. Itii a verdiot which oonfounds justico, stultifies human reason, but', happily i« not tho irreparable publio calamity it "l hm* been. Consider what this verdict is. It finds Burke, O'Sullivan and Ooughlin guilty as principals in the most infamous murder that hus over darkened the annals of American crime. It finds that theso three men entered into a deeply considered and fiendish plot to kill Dr. Cronin. It finds that they conspired together and deliberately laid their pains to entice their unsuspecting victim to a lonely cottage where remorseless enemies lay in wait to slay him. It finds that Burko rented the cottage in Lake View with the malignant intent that Dr. Oronin should be lured thither that ho might be tho more safely "removed" and the olews of tho crime most readily concealed. It finds that O'Sullivan deliberately and with malice aforethought made a contract with Dr. ' Oronin to secure his professional and merciful services in ordor to beguile him tho more certainly to his unshrived death. It finds that Ooughlin, a sworn conservator of tho publio peace, was party to the conspiracy of Burke and O'Sullivan ; that he provided tho driver and vehicle that called for Dr, Oronin and conveyed him to tho slaughter house; that ho was instrumental in bringing tho wretched Kunze into some moro or less guilty association with the crime, and that he was present as a principal in the taking of a lifo which, as sworn officer of the law, ho was bound to protect at the peril of his own. It finds that theso three men, after having accomplished their infernal crime, stripped their victim of every vostige of clothing, down to the sacred emblem of his faith, which their superstition spared, crammed his body Into a trunk deliberately provided for that specific purpose ami hauled it many miles, seeking some spot where they might secrete it, and finally dumping it, with heartless brutality, into tho filth nnd slime of a catch-basin. In short, the verdict of the twelve men who tried the assassins of Dr. Oronin finds them guilty of a murder the recital of which sounds the limits of human depravity, curdles pity in the heart of mercy and appeals to every sense of justice for revenge! And yet this samo verdict whicli pronounces theso mon guilty of such an infamous crime spares their lives. We nre told that this verdict is the result of a compromise, as if that word made it any the less a denial of complete justice. The acquittal of Beggs was logical and responsive to the testimony; the conviction and sentence of Kunze was deserved, if too light; but the verdict as to Burko, O'Sullivan, and Ooughlin, as it stands, is irreconcilable with reason and incongruous in its imposition of the penalty of imprisonment where death should have been decreed. Tho inadequacy of their sentence makes the hanging of the Anarchists appear little short of a judicial murder, for tbo Anarchists woro much less guilty of murder in intent and act than Burke, O'Sullivan, and Coughlin, and yet it stamps the stigma of conspiracy upon the Clan-na-Qael, and proves that Irish conspiracies which lead to murder in America ure amonnblo to Anieri- cun law in spite of Irish influence in politics, Irish funds from Irish picnics, and Irish methods nt jury packing. If tho attorneys for Burke, O'Sullivan and Coughlin are wiso they will be content to accept a verdict which is as great a disappointment to the publio as it should be gratifying to them.

That there is true chivalry and kindness of heart in the South is well set forth by the proposition, following quickly the demise of Mr. Davis, to raiso a testimonial for the surviving members of hia family. Jefferson Davis died poor, and the generosity of his admirers is to take a substantial form without delay, testifying to the practical nature of their sympathy and its readiness to exert itsely. The governor of Mississippi has issued a proclamation, upon the suggestion of the governor of Georgia, proposing the formation of a fund and tho erection of a monu- ment. The latter proposal is one recoived with slight favor in the North. In the Hungarian mind there is still a strong affection for 'the national patriot Louis Kossuth, who resides out of his oountry in northern Italy, but who in his eighty- fourth year, quietly pursuing his scientific studies at Turin, is an object of admiration to his countrymen, Tho other day an acrimonious debate took plar-e in the Hungarian diet over a motion to amend the naturalization laws so that persons residing ten years abroad should not lose tho privileges of citizenship. This, of course, was to meet the case of Kossuth. It was only defeated because Herr Tisza, the Hungarian premier, considered that Kossuth's case wns already covered by tho fact of his holding the freedom of several Hungarian cities, ft is significant of the great ehange in the popular sentiment on the question of the propriety of wines at social dinners, that Trinity Medical students at their annual festive gathering dispensed entirely with the ruddy bowl. It is not so vory long ago that a proposal to carry out such an agreement would have been hissed out of court, and the unhappy advocate showered with sueh epithets as enthusiast, fanatio, fool, But times have changed, and as touching this question, changed for the better. It will do vory muoh toward the growth of total abstinence principles, if the physicians generally throughout our oountry give the praotice the weight of their Influential example, Temperance people will be delighted with this illustration of wisdom and good taste.âToronto Kail.

Pratt, la Ju«f». A RACE FOB LIFE. How Tom Took Cure of His rather Begardleaa of Danger. "Something must nave happened, Father ought to have reached home two hours ago." Tom Ely's faoe wore t. troubled look as ho glanced uneasily toward the door. Ilo was sitting hy a biasing Ire ln the rough room ot a lumberman's log shanty upon the shore of on, of the large Adirondack lakes. Beside the rough llroplaoo, at the head ot a pile of skins an J coarse, woolen blankets, stood Tom's gun, his Christmas present from his latifer. On the other tide, with the polished steels glistening tn the Ire- Ight, hung his skates, for this active ladol fifteen was the champion skater ol the Saranao region, There was hard- y any thing which Tom could not do on ,ce. He oould go forward or backward, wheeling and circling with all the ease ol a swallow ln mid-air. Bo swiftly could he skim along the Ice that his lather used laughingly to boast that "While any other skater wu going one rod, Tom could easily skate around him twlco " Tho lumbertng-oamp had broken up tbat very day. After weeka of hard work the great trees had been out down and tho logs dragged to the water's edgo, waiting for tho yearly spring rise In the rivers to float them to the mills. Thero was nothing more to be done until the breaking np of the ice. Most of the men had gone directly to tholuhomoB ln tho settlements. Teh r twelve ol thorn, however, hsd spoken f staying for a day or two at a shanty un tho socond lako below, with tho hope if Hounrlng some deer, and Tom's father rrneludod to Btay behind atthe main â i-rrmp fur a few days, thinking that lt he ttl.uuld aet his traps ho might suooood ln rr ruling a fow skins to mako warm tip- pole ind muffs for Tom's mothor and little sister. Soon alter dinner, leaving Tom to :ook the supper and gather some firewood, the lather shouldered his ride and marled out lor a tramp. By sunset Tom had piled up tho wood in one corner ot the cahln and then he set to work to prepare supper. He plaoed the big tin platos and cups on tne rough, pino table, audi taking down a ham whioh was hanging trom the celling, cut off a few s.icra and put thom ln the frying-pan, and vory Boon an appetising hot meal .vas smoking on the hearth; but still his father did not oome. Tom was a little homesick, sitting -.here all alone. Bo thought of his snug Lome in the settlement and tanoled Just how his mothor and little sister looked as they stood in the doorway watching him and his father setting out tor the lumberlng-camp. Even now his moth ars parting words rang ln his ears: "Tom, my hoy, take good caro of your 'ather.-' What lt anything had happened to his latherl Tom started to hts feet and, running to the door, opened It and stepped out in tno bright moonlight, It was a clear, soli night, and the full moon waa just rising above the dark line of forest. He stood listening for a moment, and was turning to enter the cabin when ho beard a footstep, Be raised a whistle to ms lips and sounded a shrill, piercing noto. lt was the camp signal, and after a brief pause came the answering whistle, But It sounded strangoly faint ani qui voting. Tom wondered at this, .ni wondered atill more as he heard a in'.tlng, uncertain stop on the frown groundâa stop utterly unlike his fathor'. long, steady stride. The noxt momenta-all figure tottered down tbo bank behind the shanty, and, hy the light of the moon, Tom saw his father's palo, haggard face. "Don't be frightened," said .jjho wounded man ln a hoarse whisper as the boy darted up the \ bank and saw the scorched and blood- atn! nod Jacket-sleeve and the strong arm hanging limp and helpless. "My foot alipped-tbe rifle waa loadedâand wont off-tho ball shattered my arm and lodged ln my sidoâI thought 1 i n mi Id never got homo." Tom managed to lead hts father Into rhocublir, whore hoBankdownontho pile of skins In a sort of stupor After rub- ir.rig iho cold hand and toning a tew spoonfuls of hot coffee between the wniio llpa, Tom had the satisfaction ol aooing the aufterer open his eyes and ,.«rk up with an attempt at a smile. "It's pretty hard lor you, Tom," he groaned. "I feol better now, The loss of Mood made me dltsy. What are you going to do?" "lining lor help," ropllcd Tom, prompt- ly Ho rose, put on a thiok, woolen ja-kot and took, up his fur cap. The fathor shook his head, "Ko, sol it won't do, my son." ., Hut I mud, father, Don't lookso â worried, It's only t stop to the rlvor; then down the steam, over the pond and s.ong the river againâthen whlsl across tr,o big lake to the shanty where tho mer. arol That's all." "Hut If the men shouldn't be there?' "Then I'll keep on to the settlement" "No-noâno/" came In o.ulok, short gasps; "there's anothor dangorâuoka." Tom looked up with a sudden thrill ot lour "Have you seen them, fathor?" â¢Yos, Tom-only a little way from boro, in some- suow In a hollow thore were tracks. Being an old guide I souMn't mistake 'em. The winter has been long and sharp, ud hunger hu made them bold. It Is many yoars slnee they have been teen around here." Tom's cheeks blanohed. He knew woll that It wu no play to face a hungry wolf, or perhaps a pack ol them, In that grim, lonely wilderness, He hesitated, and then came the remembranoe of his mother's charge; "Tom, take good care ot your father," His mind was made up. "I can't lain my gun," he tald, aloud, "foi lt would only be ln the way, but the knife will bo Jutt'the thing." Be twisted a thiok uarf around his waist and fastened the long-blstid hunting- knife aeourely In hll belt. "Tom, you mutt not go," moaned bis father. "I can't let you risk your llio to save mlnel" "I must go, father, If there were forty wolvoaln my way." The boy knelt down by his father's side and stroked the oold hand, "lft dreadful to leave you"- horo he nearly broko down, but managed to choke back the rising sobsâ"still, It's tho only way. You might dlo without help, and what oould I Bay to mother! Keep up your oourag'o, father. I've fared tbe fire so tbat lt will laat, and here'B tho coffee right by your elbow. I'll be baok soon," Here tbe boy broathod tho prayeri "Ood help mo!" Ina moment more Tom had fastened the door with a stout staple and was kneeling by the lake, buokllng on hia skates. As he glided from tbo shores he cut a hurried glance around. Both his eyes and ears were strained tc the utmost How bluk the shadows wore along the shores! How sharp was tho "click, oliok," ot the skates, as they carried him on with the steady motion ol a machine! The river was soon reached, tnd the half-mile ovor Its frosen surfaco was easily made, as were the two miles acroBS tho little pond, When he followed again the frozen courso of the river ho skated backward, aB his face was benumbed from going against tho wind. Uo stopped several times lor breathing-spells, so that ho felt quite rested aa bo awopt out of the river to tho jtnooth, lovel floor of tho groat lake, ai tho lower end ot which was tho huntcrn' abln. For two miles down tho lako Tom Bkatod quite slowly, as ho wna keeping bis strength for tho final duah With body orect, hoad thrown back and arms orosaod in his chest, ho glided in Long, easy curves, now to the right, now to tho left. As he reached the shelter ol a Uttle island he paused for a short rest. Then he buckled on bla skates moro firmly, but Just u he was taking a long breath in order to start again a prolonged mournful howl broke tho stillness of the night air. It was tho sound which he had been dreading and expecting! His flrst Impulse was to save himself by climbing one ot tho large trees near by. Then be thought of his mother's parting oharge. "That would be looking out for myself, and she told mo to take care ot lather," he murmured. He hastily pulled off hit jacket, felt for his knifo,>nd tightened the scarf around his waist, "You'll have exercise enough to keep you warm, Tom Ely," ho muttered between his set teeth; and then he shot forward like an arrow Irom the bow. How the Ice rang under the quick, florce strokes ol the skates! How swlitly the shores gilded byl Tho boy paused a moment to look over hts shoulder. On the loo near tho shoro wu a small, black speok, growing rapidly larger, The wind had swept the lut light fall of snow trom the con- tor of the lako Into windrows on botb sldos, and thero lt had frosen, making a rough surfaoo on which tho wolf (ound a Buro footing. Tom increased his speed, but that long, tireless gallop, nevor (or an Instant faltering nor loitering, was gaining rapidly on him. Already tho lean, shaggy brute wu within a low yards, and the boy heard an angry snarl u the oreaturo made a florce spring at him. Quick u thought Tom wheeled suddenly to the right, and the wolf rolled over and over on tho Ice, while the skater sped on, gaining several rods by this trick. In a moment, however, the furious bout wu up again, and a second desperate race bogan, and a second time Tom escaped the sharp, whito teoth. By this time the boy's heart wu beating liko a trip-hammer. His breath came in quick, short gups, and he was conscious of a quoor fooling of weakness about the knees. Bit heart sank within him as be looked back and saw his enemy again on his track. "I can't keep it up mueh longer," ho thought "A llttio twig or roughness on tho icoâ and lt is all over with me," Ho raised his white, despairing face toward the heavens with a swift, short prayor Just thon he oaught a gllmpso of alow point of land at tho left Tom's blood tingled at tho sight! Below wore the hunters' cabin and tho stout lumbermen! "What If tho mon had gono on to the settlement!"âand tho boyish voice broko into a sob. . A fow strokes ot the skates brought bim to tho point, with tbo wolf closo at Mb heels. Tom raised his whistlo to his lips and blown piercing blast. In anothor moment ho had dodged tho wolf again, and as he swopt round the point ho saw tho opon door of the cabin and tho blaring flro within, Ho board a dozen answering whistles, the hoarse baying of dogs, tho sharperacr; of a rille. Uo mustorod strength to toll hiB story, and thon a faintness oame over him and ho tottered into the arms ot a strong lumberman. ' The noxt that he know he wu lying on a pllo of skins by a bright firo, wltb several strong men bending ovor him. Ono oftho hunters wu saying: "I'd give a good deal toown a boy liko that. Talk of horoosâwhy, that flftoon-yoar-old ohap Is tho biggest hero of thom all." Tom lookod up; ho said only: "Father?" "Four of the men bave gono to the settlement tor a doctor, halt a dozon more, with old Hodgo amongst 'em (and he's u good u a dootor any timo), are on tho way to your fathor, and as soon as you aro ablo we'll tako you up with us." "And tho wolf?" Tom sank baok shuddering. "Uis hide ls over yondor ln tho oornor; ono of tho mon says that ho ls going to dress tho skin for you. It will bo tbo proudest trophy of your life, 1 reckon."âEmma W. Domoritt, . /An OM American Cloak* Probably the oldest clock ln Atlanta, Oa., it in tho possosslon of Jonathan M. Ellis.

Thore was a latge Christinas party last night at Mr. W, H. Rowling's home nt tho North Arm, Many friends of the family had gathored to celebrate Christmas night in tho usual happy manner. Among the guests were several from Vancouver, who had driven over in a cutter to participate iu the festivities. Aftor an evening of cloudless enjoyment, and tho guests had tired themselves out with the pleasures of the occasion, the Vancouver party had their cutter brought around and tho team hitched up; then they drove off down tho road for home. The party in the sleigh consisted of Miss May Lawaon, James Lawson, Clarence Campbell, J. V. Bodwell, Jasper Locko and William Masheter. Soon after leaving tho Nortii Arm, and while going along at a good steady gait, tho attention of tho party wub attracted to a largo burning tree trunk standing a little ahead of them on one sido of the road; an they ncarec! it a loud crashing liuiae was hcurd. which frightened tho horses very much nnd made thom hard to drivo. Then thero was n terrible crack, which still further oxcitcd the maddened horses, who darted furiously forward, and in nu instant down came the lingo smoking mass with a fright ful email right on the top of (he cutter and horses, instantly killing James, Lawaon, Clarence Campbell, J, V, Bodwell and James Locke, and slightly injuring Misa Lawson's arm, Masheter escaping without n scratch. One of the horses was killed on the spot, and the other so badly injured that it had to be shot soon afterwards. The cutter was shivered to a thousand fragments. Tho escape of Miu Lawson and William Masheter was nothing short of miraculous; they were completely paralyzed with fear, and scarcely knew what they were about, but finally went to Vancouver for assistance and told their terrible story. The bodies of the dead were horribly crushed and mangled, almost beyond recognition, James Lawson waa a well known Vancouverito, and Miss May Lawson is his daughter. Bodwell was employed by Lawson to drive a milk wagon. Clarence Campbell waB a well and favorably known young mau, uged only 23 years. He was employed as a tallyman at the Royal City Planing Mills yards at Vancouver. Mr. Campbell was a cousin of Mr. A DesBrisay, grocer, in this city. James Locke was employed in a livery stable in Vancouver. Masheter ia a fireman in tho same city. With ttie exception of Lawson, all tho deceased were youug men. The news of the horrible catastrophe did not reach Westminster until some hours after its occurrence, whicli waB about three o'clock this morning. Great excitement prevailed when the meagre details whieh were pieked up here and there began to be told. The event, as may be imagined haB thrown a deep gloom over *he North Arm settlement, the deceased having boen held in high esteem by nil tho residents in that locality. Itis strango to noto that the fate of the party hung as it were on a mere chanco, and on tho matter of a fow foot of distanco ouo way or tlio other. Had the frightened horses nut bounded forward just at the moment they did, or had their speed been greater than it was, the falling of thu ponderous mass would have caused but little trouble. He Cot. One small ease was disposed of nt tlio police court this morning. The case's namo is Henry Pearaall and he fractured the law at the place which forbids such as he from begging and soliciting pecuniary aid from her majesty's lieges. His honor found thut Mr, Poaraall'a offence was not bad enough to call for prison discipline at present, and remanded tho case until 3 p.m., the prisoner being furnished with a discreet hint to travel for the good of his constitution. Henry took the hint with thanks, and proceeded out of town inthe direction-of Brownsville, at a dog trot that looked as if it would last long onough to satisfy the guardians of peace. ITcd'Hng Bells. No less than two well known West- miiiflterites have joined the noble army of benedicts during the last couplo of day-*. On Tuesday evoning Mr. Hugh A. Wilson, tho popular local manager of the 0, P. R. Telegraph Co., was united in tho holy bonds of matrimony with Miis Emolene Bell, of Sapperton, a most estimable young lady. Tho ceiemony, whioh was performed by tho Rov. Thos. Seoular, took place at the rosidenoe of the bride's mother, Mrs. Jamos Bell, Sap- portou. The wedding was a very quiet affair, only membors of the two families being present. Tho happy couple wero the recipients of many handsome and costly presents, both useful and ornamental. The second marriago to chroniole is that of Mr. Robt. G. McPherson, of McPherson & Thompson, who was married this morning, in Seattle to Miss SusioM. Van Aketi, of Cold- water, Mich. Mr. McPherson mot his bride in Seattle, having left Westminster on Tuesday for that oxpress purpose. The newly wedded couple will arrive home in a few dayi. To theso latest additions- to the ranks of tho benedicts Tab Columiiian wishes overy joy. Koolenay Mines* CWWrenJliyfoi- Pltoh**^ Castoria i Late advices from the Kootenay country appear to confirm tho report to thu effeot that the Silver King and Kootenay Bonanza mines, property of the Hall brothers and others, had been re-located. Who the adverse claimants are haa not yet been ascertained. Sorao say they are Viotoria parties, and others aro of the opinion that it is a portion of the Hall company, which numbers thirteen, who have made the re-location. The Silver King and Kootenay Bonanza claims wore on the same lode, and if located by the same individuals, according to the B. C, law, both would be illegal, and open for re-location. The American Flag, tho other claim belonging to tbo Bonanza company, is on a spur of the main lead, hence it is presumed that it is not jumpable. John McDonald, secretary and agent forthe Bonanza company, had applied for crown grants to these claims. How tho question will finally bo settled of course ia only a matter of conjecture, but one thing la cortaln, tho mines iu dispute are considered of great value, it being well understood that a standing offer of upwards of 01,000,000 was made foi tho proporty some time ainco. âSpokane Falls Review. â â â ._». .. ... ..

And it waB an old fashioned Christmas Eve too, with snow on tho ground, on the trees, on the houses, and everywhere, and tho air wns clear and fruity, and the laughter and noise of tho streets partook of a ringing quality on that account, In tho Btoros, crowds could bo seen purchasing and looking ovor tho stocks of goods, while tho storekeepers and thoir assistants had no time to bo idlo a ipoment if they had wished to. Tho majority of the scores woro packed to tho door with custom* ore during the ovening, and an immense business must have been transacted, The police patrolled the sidewalks, and not unnecessarily either, for at various places, iu the neighborhood of saloons, small knots of half inebriated young fellows, those pitiful beings that ono scarcely knows whethor to pity or despise, Miulf respectable, half blackguard, with a strong leaning to tho latter, stood looking ut the laughing tjiruugs of foot pResougcrs with lowering brows and mUcliief in their forbidding faces. Ttie presenco of the stalwart policemen, however, taught these ennip followers of civilization that discretion ia the better pnrt of valor; so they scowled and scowled and atill woro hoodlums. The pereg- inating reporter exclaimed almost with the passion, if not the stngincss, of Mr. Henry Irving as Mathias in "The Bella"â"what, what do'I hear? the bells! tho bells!" and run to the corner to look at a sleigh onco more; past it swept, its merry load wrapped in furs and robes, laughing and happy, nnd the bells went "Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, in the ley nlr of nigbt-- âKeeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme," that made delicious melody in tho frosty air, und waa effective in conjuring up memories of sleigh ridos nnd Christmas jollifications beyond the mountains. Dickens himself, tho groat apostle of Christ mas-tido and its joys, might have smiled approvingly to seo the manner iu which the good littlo oity by the banks of the Eraser kept up the old, old form beneath the magnificent sky of British Columbia, nblnKO with stars and tilled wilh Lho radiance of the young moon. On tho slopes, tho sleds of tho coasters shot downward like meteors, ench one loaded with hnppy freight. Occasionally a spill or a run into tho ditch mado still trrcutcr fun for everybody, and blushes from the girls uud profusion of assistance from tho boys. Tho coasting was kopt up with undiminished vigor fnr into the niglit, nnd Christmns morning, lSSil, had dawned upon tho continent and was sweeping ou to tho othor sido of the Pacific, over the teeming mil* lions of China, across the plains of India and onwnrd to England tho head nnd front of Christmas festivity, beforo tho coasters desisted, Christmas dny yesterday was tho coldest experienced hero in two years; in fact since tho memorablo excursion made by the mercury to visit his old friend zero, which loft all British Columbia shivering aud wondering how long the visit would last. The sun got up from a soft bed of groy fog, and, unattended by oven a single cloud, traversed the breadth of day in true solar glory. Towards noon it wob genially warm and bright as n summer day, leaving nothing to bo desired by those who ran their cutters out for a drive. Tho Christmas chimes bogan to peal in the belfries of tho Catholic and Anglican churehea in the morning, and in the former, solemn high muss was celebrated; in tho lattor n lino choral service was given, nt both of which services thero woro great congregations. Tho Methodist church had a setvico of song in tho morning, suited to the occasion, nnd thoro was a lurge attendance. All the other churches oxcept St. Andrew's Presbyterian, held services of a special nature to celobrato tho day. By tho pre valence of new toys in tho hands of nearly every urchin encountered ou the streets and scon at the windows of houses, Santa ClauB must hnvo run a henvy spocinl freight train into Westminster on Christmas eve. It is reported in juvenile circles that he had to engage a large staff'of nssistaiila to get all tho presents down tho chimneys before cock-crow. Sevornl boys aro driving themselves mildly iiiBnno in trying to solve tho tremendous problem of how Santa Clnus evor managed to get a six-foot rocking-horse down n two-foot chimney. This is tho old familiar riddle of our youth, only solved by tho Sight of yoars; and with foelingo of deep respect wu lenve tho boys to puzzle out the calculation until Father Time roughly dispels tho illusion, ns ho did with us. At the penitentiary nnd the central gaol tho goose hung high, and tho uufortunatna woro fortunate iu getting a dinner that might have graced the best table in the city, thanks to our beneficent government. The poor wero woll remembered, too, and the recording angel had many n covert, stoalthy net of noble kindness to enter in his nwful book yesterduy. In the evening tho roportor, who, liko tho "princo of darkness," is Buppnsed always to bo on tho nlert, donned raiment meet fur tho reception of tho breath of Boreas, and guided by the pnlo illumination of tho stars, sallied forth on a tour of nocturnal inspection. Outsido, tho wind blew icily from the dark crags uf tho Pitt rango; tho snow crackled undor foot with a frosty crunching sound and tho river seemed lit up by a thousand fairy lamps; and great Siriuf, glittering, scintilla Ling, waning, growing larger like a miniature moon, cast n track of silvery light across tho darkness of tho wator. It was n night for a poet to be out, and an artist. From almost overy dwelling cume the sounds of gladsome mutlr, and the chilly reporter smiled iu sympathy us he strodo onward to Sapperton, where tho sumo pleasant stato of affairs existed. On Clinton st. tho coasting wus kept up with great spirit and well on into this morning. On nearly ell the other streets this exhilarating pastime was also indulged in by scores of young- stors nnd a good many of their elders. The day was passed in a quiet, orderly manner, as Christmns should, and tho polioe record that not a single cuso of drunkenness on thn streets came under tholr notice, nnd thoy (tho police) were everywhere; there were no such cases at the court this morning. SPDDEK DEATH. John Hlcwari, the Well-Known Pioneer, Passes Away this Morning. The citizens of Westminster were startled this afternoon by the report which got abroad that Mr, John Stew* art, senior partner of tho firm of Scow- art & Cash, of tho Central hotel, was dead. A Columiiian roporter immediately called at the Central hotel and learned the truth of the matter from Mr. Cash, and also viewed the body in the exact position in which Mr. Cash had found it this morning, when be came down to business. Mr. Stewart was born in London, Eng., and oame to thia conntry many years ago, and has boen in the hotel business a long time. He had beon ill for two or three days past, but his symptoms were not thought to be of a serious nature, oven by himself. As soon aB it was found that he wsb dead, Dr. Fagan was summoned and gave it aa his opinion that death waa caused by heart disease, Dr. Fagan thinks an autopsy'-.unnecessary. Deceased was 40 years of age, and during his long residence in this oity made for himself a host of friendi who deeply deplore his very sudden deiniso. Arrangements have been completed for the trip of Louis Reubenstein, the famous fancy skater of Montreal, to contest the .world's championship at St. Petersburg, Reubenstein will- leave on January 4th. Ho will visit Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin and other places, and tuke part in tho' skating competitions.
