Archblshoi) Seuhcrs" Murder. Mr. J. tl. Brudjr, who airivctl at Seattln a few days ago from Sitka, gave the Post the following additional particulars of the murder of Ar- ohhishop geghsrs: "As VniM 'States commissioner, it becsino my duty to oonduct the examination of young Fuller, charged with the murder- of Archbishop Seghers. There was. but one witness, and thtt wts the Indian Slidog, who was present when the deed was committed. The defendant refused to made any statement. The testimony of Slidog was very stsightfor- ward. He said the three were journeying together; that on the day Erevious.to the murder the Arch- ishop seemed very much out of sorts, and whipped uie dog with his snowshoes and then threw the shoes away. Fuller picked them up and carried 'them some distance, and handed them to the priest, who again threw them away. The Indian then picked them up and carried them until evening. Traveling was very difficult, and but poor progress had been made that day. During the evening a spirited discussion took place between the Archbishop and Fuller, and the Indian judged from their manner that they were quarreling, but could not understand ' anything that was said because it was spoken in English. The nest morning early they arose, and before breakfast, in fact- before any words had pasted between any of them, Fuller railed his rifle and shot Archbishop Seghers through the head. As he fell dead, the In- b:nSr1i#i^he c and indicated that he had no intention of harming him, After the testimony was all in, I held Fuller without bail to answer to the chnige of murder. From the Interior. Capt. Lorkin returned on Wednesday night from an extended visit into Okanagan and Spallumcheen, with whioh districts the Captain is agreeably disappointed. He is a shrewd observer; a good practical judge of the capabilities of a coun toy, so that his testimony is of vast value. He drove over a considerable portion of that country and found there were many thousands of acres still in virgin condition awaiting the hand of man-to cultivate, a soil equal in richness of loam and alluvial soil to any he has ever stun. Here can be found farms for ''ruu- sands of settlers. The land is not heavily timbered, in fr.m he found it to be a park-like count", with a most luxuriant growth o. grass in the woods. It is indeed a beautiful oountry; well watered and admirably adapted for farming. This section of the province contradicts the statement that there is no agricultural land to be found in tbe country, in the most emphatic man ner. The Capt's belief is that those knowing of its richness have been anxious to hide the fact from the public, well knowing thnt in a short time the whole valley would bu studded with ihe homes of a happy, provident people, The machinery in the new mill of Messrs. Rashdule A Lawes was put in motion last Saturday in presence of a number of visitors. -Nothing oould possibly work better or give greater satisfaction. Not a jar or a knock was felt, every movement was perfection. Grinding wheat began on Monday. The firm have a large supply of Wheat on hand. In a few days their flour will reach Victoria where it will receive a severe test, for there it will meet the product of the Northwest and that of Oregon and California.

Several league meetings in Clare were dispersed yesterday by police without resistance. A SOCIALISTIC MEETINll. Chicaoo, Sept. 20.-Socialists and sympathizers of the condemned anarchists held a largely attended meeting at Turner's Hall yesterday. Several defiant speeches were delivered amid great enthusiasm, and resolutions were adopted denouncing the supreme court. a woman's infatuation. Nkw Yobk, Sept 20.—"If those anarchists sre hanged their wires will kill their ohildren and then commit suicide," said Mrs. Captain Black, " Nina Van Xiindt haa frequently assured me that if her husband, August Spies, goes to tire scaffold she will die by her own hand the same hour; other women tell me the same thing." According to Mrs. Black, Miss Van Zandt is not alone in her insane infatuation. She declares that a beautiful and wealthy girl is in lore with Liogg. The parents of the deluded woman had to lock her np to keep her away from the jail., THU SALVATION ABMV MOBUBll. Ottawa, Sept. 26.— An attack waa made last night on the Saltation Army while passing through the principal streets of the city, in which some 500 roughs took part The timely arrival ol the police prevented a serious conflict between Ihe army and their assailants.

Not many years ago not fewer than four of thoso dens wero duly licensed here to carry on their nefarious work.'

SO. IM. Our readers ore again reminded of tho provincial exhibition which opens at Ohilliwhaclt next Wednesday, tnd ot tht importance of putting forward every possible effort to make it a success. If persons decline to enter on the ground that thoy do not expect to win a prize, a great deal that is valuable will be witheld from those who attend for the purpose of gaining information respecting ths resources of the province. It is to be hoped that every person who has anything worth shewing at all will bring it, and thtt the exhibition will be the best ever hold In the province. VTe intended to have mentioned somo days ago thtt the Vancouver Herald must really excuse us if we decline to enter into a discussion with it just now on the question of commercial union. It is a very broad subject, and life is at best limited to t century, more or less. The prolixity of our ootemporary under ordinary circumstances inspires the fear that with such a wide subject as commercial union the close of the tint century would find him scarcely more than half way through the business, and with so many threads hanging loose as make one tired. Besides, it is not probable that the disoussion would result in anything practically useful. Our cotemporary has a habit of explaining away the practical when it comes into conflict with his preju dices, and putting forward, for all they are worth, theories which, whon applied, run one into embarrassment We are willing to discuss tome things with our cotemporary, within certain limits, but most be excused on the question of commercial union. Although the crops are short in many parts of the province this season, they have been secured in excellent condition, and there is every prospect of a large demand tnd excellent prices. It is possible thtt feed may run short before the end ot winter, for we are under the impression that since laat year the number of animals to be fed has increased to a greater extent than the quantity of feed. All things considered, the season is likely to be t fairly profitable one to agriculturists, tnd probably some will bo encouraged to go more extensively into thtt induitry. There is plenty of room. There are thousands of acres ot excellent land in this district where a plow has never been and where large returns would certainly reward an ordinary expenditure of labor. With the rapid increase ot population, the demand for til aorta ot farm produce will become larger eaoh year. This province is still importing many things which ought to be produced tram it* own soil. We hope the farming industry will develop rapidly, until it is able fully to meet the local demands at least Seattle still continues to congratulate herself on the improvement of her prospects through the advent ot Henry Villard, who has suddenly resumed the position ot an influential director of tho Northern Bail- way. In response to a congratulatory telegram from the mayor of the oity, Villard stated that he represented 365,799 out of 754,193 shares of the company, and gave an tssurtnee thtt "all the just claims ot Seattle will be recognised." Villard his always been looked upon as t warm friend of Seattle, and it is presumed this assurance is given in good faith. The Post produces from these materials a very hand- tome tnd attractive picture in which glowing colors represent the achievements ot the future. "Connection by nil with the 0. P. R.," says the Pest, "is certain within the near future, and Seattle's two arms of steel, tbe Puget Sound Shore Line tnd the Seattle A West Coast, will retch out to the American railroad rm on the south and the Oana- system on the north." Besides tU thit the Union Pacific has almost reached Seattle, and altogether the outlook, aa far ti railways is concerned, is certainly most encouraging. One ol the reasons why so much of Seattle's trade has been cooling over the 0. P. R. is the hostility ot that oity towards tho Northern Railway because of the unfair treatment it hu received. If the aaaunnoes given by Villard ar* fulfilled, Seattle will feel dis- posed to give the Northern Pacific ita business. It beoomes all the more important; therefore, that the 0. P. R. should have connection by rail with tbat oity without delay. Until thii hat been accomplished the Canadian line will not be able to compete on equal terms for the trade of that oity. A bright little boy of seven years waa corrected by hia father the other day for having been, to put it mildly, mUteken in hit facts. "Remember the example of George Washington, my boy,'' said the careful father. "Who was 'CNiMf* Washington, papa?" queried the hopeful. "Why, he was the man who oouldn't tell a lie, of count." "What wu the matter with him-oouldn't lie talk!" There was muoh anxiety in the paternal mind as to W'yowtjkiktt future. -N, Y. Mercury. Scrofulr.

'iii.. MipruineCourt ui initio's lias ro. contly len.lL'reil an important decision iu Hation to the liability ol hank directors. Mr. UiiMin r Case was a depositor in tlio llunkur Hi 1 Bank, at Bunker Hill, III, vvli clilnuiri bei'inae insolvent while holding his deposits. He brought a suit Huainst the directors ol the bank individually lor thi! recovery ol these deposits, i l.iiiniiir,' Unit U the deposits were re- ir ived when tha directors, by the exercise »I due diligence, might, and therefore ill.nilil, hive known that the lunik was insolvent, Ih.'V were legally liable I iisni'li dcpositii. The court ol Macoupin i Vninty that tried tlie case iu the lust iuntune'', gave judgment in bis tavor, i;|i-in the fuels us shown by the pviihm«i; ;'ii I thon the dt'fehilantsappealed tu tlie Appellate Court, and by this court the :>i Ignietit ol tlm court below was afllrm- i'l. Tho defendants then carried tlie caso to tlie Supi'jine Court of the state, nu.l here again tho judgment wai nf- lirrued, tints settling the law of Illinois un this subject. The doctrine laid down by tho court cmbra 'us theso two principles: "First, That the directors of a bank are trustees for the depositors, as well as Ior the stockholders. "StoiiI, Thnt they are bound Jp tho o'iseiv.Uiee of ordinary care and diligence,' un I are liahlo for injuries resulting li'nru is uoll•ol»lervl|l)ce.,' Tho sr'cond of theso propositions results, hy a lr'gnl necessity, from the first uno. It it lie true that bank direct™ are trustees for depositors, thon it follows t'.iut if th j latter suffer, injury by the nonperformance of duty on the part uf the former; such depositors are entitled to hnve the injury made good by tiio delinquent directors. The court held this to be a sound principle of law. Bank-directors, in cases not a few, aro mere 'llguiv-hcnds,' lending tlieir names to blinking institutions snd imparting credit to them in the general community, hut practically leaving tho whole question nf bank management to bank otllcers, nnrl themselves knowing little or nothing about this uiiinagement. This is one of c minion cause r of Insolvencies and de- f ilcutinns. Such directors du uot pei'- l.irm their duty to the dip Mitomlil' stockholders. They virtually deceive liu public i limy are not in, fact what they piifesst i Ire; nnrl if a brink Ixreuni's in- s rlvent ih a consequence, then nil jrar- t.es injured thereby have a just cause of ii tion against them. Lut the principles l.iirl down by tliu Supreme Courl of Illi- n.lis be adopted 'lis a general rule; and trio eli'ect would bo to sharpen up tho wits of brink directors and mako them moro attentive to their duties. This w mid lie good for banks, and good for th ■ general public. Till horrible misuse of bank funds mnde by lb. Vice-president of the Fidelity National Bank, of Cincinnati, iu the recent grtinblin^ "wheat dual" at Chicago, raises the question of liability on tlie part of tlie direutorsof that bank". If the immense lu+r that has fallen upon dejwei- rors, on well as upon stockholders, can ho shown to be due to any negligence on the purt of the directors properly to pot> limi their duty, then, according to the doctrine stated by tbo Supremo Court of Illinois, these directors are legally liable therejur, and nulls ought to be brought agalM tlieai. This is a most conspicuous rui virtually stealing bank funds; and pestles responsible therefor should satus lor It.—JtsituKiKleiil. ■■»».i 1, iu ._ •— Omens atIhe Dog. J — . Tlio Hindus of India and the Sinhalese 'Jj of Ceylon observe various good and bad , I, omens in reference to the dog. The Hin- "{ rliis especially have great faith in them. '5 Pictures nf dogs tire Kept in their dewalas. They believe Unit Siva'became a dog. It lives among them and is sometimes called "Uuhiruwaya" and sometimes "Vinis- waniiya." However that may be, if these omens in respect of the dog are tone, it is worth Ihe while of all people to value it tens of thousands of timet more than an ornament set with pearls 6r precious gems. It is proper that every-body in the world should have at least one in his house. But they must be dogs having toils, for without the toil it is difficult for it to show good and bad omens. ' If a man who went on ■ journey met with a dog scratching Itshead, ear or any other part of its bod* with its right leg soon alter leaving the house, he is sure ( that his journey will be attended with . great success; but If it were to scratch in this manner by ita left leg, he is sure of loss nud danger. If a number of dogs wero to howl for two or three mornings looking at. the rising tun, tho people should know that the nouses in Out village shall be destroyed by Sre, or thieves will enter into them. Should they howl nt midday, it is i sign ol death. Should they howl in the evening time, the crop of the paddy-fields shall be destroyed. II a dog were to dig a pit opposltejtho house one olthe inmates shall ale, some- , times a child, if any. If a dog warr lo I. gi'l upon the root of a house In whatever [r way, nnd were he to howl being there, somebody in that house shall die. If a ■ dog were to dig a nit in the garden, the owner thereof shall Mae cattle; if it were to dig at the bottom of a wall of a house, thieves will enter into that house. t According to the belief ot the Hindus, I > tlie dog Is a great friend of the former. If it were to nowl being on a bush, it shall ruin. If It were to smell the right kn ro of a farmer he knows that his cattle I soon be multiplied, and rejoices. If however the left knee he smelt, he shall quarrel with his wife. If a dog wero to jump upon a bed and were to groan in o loiiieiitrihle tone without any cause, the sleeper q| tha bail shall fall 111 or die. It . it very good to breed black dogs, ior all ' omens In respect of them aro good; besides, it will take core of the inmates ot tbe house from the tear oi ghosts. Akenl Win*. There aro twenty thousand milee ot telegraph wires in New York city. Of this number one oompany operates and controls more than five thousand miles. The mino company operates over 430,000 miles nil told. Its wires if stretched in one continuous line would ganround tho liloho nearly eighteen times, and they would tench from the earth to the moon i an I almost back again. The twenty thousand miles of wire in New York city would make' over two thousand two linn lied nud twenty parallel lines from the llattery. to Harlem river, and over dou'ilc that number from the East to the No ti river ot the greatest width of Man- lintimi Island. This length of wire weighs comparatively little. The wires of tho Wester r Union Company vary in weight fro n :', 111 to 350 grounds per mile. Taking th'siiinllest-slserlwlreiisabasls fori cn(- I'lilniiiiu, one ton of metal would mako thirteen nud one-third miles ot wire, while :!,000 tons would be sufficient to stretch around the world, with plenty to spare.

Tlie Second Comptroller criticises tho mode of lmrchnso as in violation of the low requiring such purchaseK to be made only alter due legal advertisement, except in cases of extreme emergency. vThe Portlnnd Sunday HWiouic, referring to the recent death of Mrs. Sutherland, says: "She loft one son living. Col. Charles Sutherland, TT. S. A., and one daughter, Mias Mnry Sutherland, who dovoted hir life to the care of her aged mother. Two sona ond one daughter- Judge Thomas W. Sutherland, Capt. James Sutherland, IT. S. M., and Mrs. Caroline M. Provost, wife of Gen. Chas. M. Provost—preceded this dear old; lady to 'the great unknown,' at ,the threshold of which, within hearing of their dear voices, she has been living for many years. No gentler spirit, nor purer soul was ever welcomed to eternal bliss." Aiimirai, Luck has come to an understanding with Captain Scott, Royal Navy, as to the exact claims of the Cuniidlnn Government with reference to fishing rights. Tho conclusions are presented in a series of questions propounded liy Admiral Luce nnd answored by Captain Scott. Copies uf these have been distributed among the vessels of our fishing licet in tlu Gulf of St. Lawrence, in order that fishermen operating in those waters may bo fully informed as to their privileges and tho statutory restrictions. Tub Dolphin began coaling resently ot the Navy-yard, in preparation for a cruise, mid'it is quite likely that she will rejiort to Rear Admiral l.uco for duty on this cuast. The Dolphin looks "quite Knglisli you know," having recoived a coat of whito paint from stem to stern, nnd it will undoubtedly mnko con- sidci'ublrlo difference in tlie temperature of tho ship. It is, however, quite o marked departure from the traditions of the Navy to jrrrint with white, and us such is a commendable step In the direction ol comfort. Tin: Navy Department will contribute its part to tho Centennial celebration at Philadelphia of the adoption of the Constitution: Orders have heen Issued to Admiral Luce for the ussemlrly ot' a nitvitl force on the occasion, nnd the'day oi the great military display as large a forco of marines and blue jackets ns can be spared will be sent ashore to take part. Tlio vessrla will tire salutes and will bo opened for public inspection, as usual on such occasions. Major Gbxkiiai. Adolf Siemens, who died Juno 30 (originally n Hanoverian Artillery officer), entered the Prussian Service in I860. The German Artillery owes to his talents many inventions and improvements, such SB timo fuses, friction tubes, etc. Whon sent to England to report on the Armstrong guns he cm- phnsiKcd particularly tho advantages of Krupp's Kvstein, and this settled the question of tho armomont for tlio Imperial German Navy. About November 1 next the U. S. S. Marion will be looked for ot Panama, whoro she will repair for the purpose of transferring her present officers and crow to thu Atlantic side of the continent, receiving, in return, a new crew. On the completion of this duty the Marion will probably resume her proper station in Asiatic waters. The new ordnance building to be erected at the Washington Navy-yard will encompass the old anchor nnd forging shops under ono roof. It is tp be 035 feet long and 1711 feet wide. A travelling' crane will he put up, equal to the weight of 100 tons. Koch machine to bo used will bo placed on foundations of concrete built on piles, wltb a top facing of two- Inch yellow pine. Tub Norfolk iaiiifmnrit soys: "An effort is being made by the authorities of Richmond to have the monitor fleet now stationed at City Point brought up to that city. This does not meet the approval of the officers stationed there, us most of them havo their families with thorn, uud don't care to be disturbed." Krxest Hauck, late flrst sergeant of tho marine guard ot tho Trrntan, hits been transferred to the marine burrocks at Norfolk to await the return of that ship, whon ho will rejoin os first sergeant marine guard, under command of Capt. It. W. Huntington, U. S. M. C, ior a threo years' cruise. It is understood that Commander Evans will soon be relieved from duty as President of the Steel Inspection Board end ordered to duty as Naval Secretory of the Light House Board. Copt. Picking, the present Secretary of tho Board, is to bo given tho command of a vessel, Tub now building occupied by the Naval Museum of Hygiene on New York Avenue, Washington, is rapidly being put into proper shape, and when completely arranged will afford far better opportunities for easy inspection of Its hygienic: treasures. i • i . Panama lints. The famous Panama hats are all made In Guayaquil, Keuodor, aud get their namo because Panama merchants formerly controlled the trade. They ore made of iiitu fibre, o sort of palm, and are braided under water by native women. The strands aro often twelve nnd fifteen foot long, and lino ones ore very expensive. It often takes two or three weuks to braid u single lint, which sells for five or six dollars, and lasts for ever. A traveller siiouks of one mode of o single straw or fltire, and line os thread and soft as silk. The woman who mode It was engaged four months iu tho work, mi I it was va lied tit rJfiO dollars.

Having been thus secured againit gaunt hunger for tlie winter, our ootemporary is supremely content. When symptoms ol mslsrla appear, in any form, take Ayer's Ague Cure. It will prevent a development ol the germs of disease, and eradicate them from the system. A cure Is warranted In every instance., The salmon run last night was very poor; the boats did not average more than 20 good fish each, although largo white salmon and humpbacks were plentiful. Strange to lay the principal catch were sockeyes. When the system is debilitated by dis- nee, it should be strengthened and renewed with Ayer's Sansparilla. This medicine invariably proves itself worthy of all that can be said in its favor. Sold by druggists sad detlers in medicines, Price IT SU bottles, t°.

Tlio party numbered just 300, and all expressed themselves ub highly delighted with the scenery along the C, 1*. R. Tbe run from North Betid, 129 miles, was made in 4 hours. The steamer Rithet arrived over from Victoria yesterday aftornoon nt 4 o'clock, bringing 50 tons of local freight and 45 tons for poiutri along tho C. P. R. The following woro among the passengers: Mr. & Mrs. Landorer, Miss Winger, Mrs. Penny, D. W. Higgins, Alex. Laidlaw, J. A. Laidlaw, B. Young, Mr. Draper, and Mr. Talbot. She left this afternoon on the arrival of the 1 o'clock train, taking 175 tons freight, 1C thousand feet of lumber, and a very largo list of passengers. The cheapest medicine in use is Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil, bcrruuso so vory llttlo of it is required to effect a cure. For croup, dipthorls, and diseases of the lungs and throat, whether used for bath- Ing the chest or throat, for taking internally or inhaling, it is a matchless compound. Vancouver Boaiid of Trade.—At a meeting held at Vancouver on Friday evening final steps wore taken for the organisation of a board of trade for that eity.. It was estimated that the colt of furnishing a suitable room would be $370, and tho running expenses for one year were placed at 9998. The entrance fee was fixed at (25, and the annual dues nt $12. The Vanoouver board of trade rridently intends to aim high. Twenty-two mimes were placed on tire articles of association at the meeting. . . . Prisoners from the Iotekioh.— Constable Kirkup arrived from Donald yesterday with three prisoners in oharge, who were sentenced to punishment at the assizes held in that district. Steve Newell, for larceny, 18 months; Bruso Fiorino, for assault, 3 years; and Mary Katliray, for lnrcony, 0 months. Tho constable experienced no difficulty in bringing down the prisoners, and immediately after arriving in this city turned them ovor to Mr. Moresby, who will attend to their wants until their sentences expire. A Fise Animal. —Mr. E. Hodgson, of Nanaimo, arrived in die city ou Saturday by the steamer Dunsmuir, en route for Chilliwhack exhibition. Ho brings with hiin, what is generally admitted by good judges, to be tbo largest and finest, year old short horn Durham, in tho province. Tho animal is certainly a very fine one, and lias all the points its famous Biro, Reuben Butler (imported by Dr. Tolmie) was noted for. Mr. Hodgson takes Bonnie Boy to Chilliwhack on the Irving tomorrow and he expects to carry away first prize. B. 0.

Chicken Sieauno.—The first caso of chicking stealing, for this season, came before the police magistrate this moruing, who sentenced the offender to three months imprisonment with bard labor. The sentence was none too heavy and everyone will join in commending the action of Mr. Atkinson in the matter. The chinamen have evidently opened the chicken stealing season, and it would bo well for all who keep fowls to see that thoy are securely housed nt night. Tho police intend giving the limit of the law to sll who are arrested for this offence. Late Arrivals at the St. Alice Hotel.—J. Dees, Kamloops; E.

A gontlenian from Vancouver, who waa present at the fire on Saturday night in that city, states that the fire brigade were fully 20 minutes in got- ting writer turned on tho building, after reaching the ground. He also says they took an unreasonably long timo to get lo tho fire, as proof of this the hook and ladder company were on the ground a quarter of an hour ahead of the rest of tho brigade. Tho Van- couver fire brigade has a very good opinion of itself and ia really good for show parades, races, etc., but when it comes down to quick work in getting to a lire somehow I hey seem to fail miserably, and are not a bit better than tho Victoria brigade in thnt way. Tlioro is not a volunteer brigade in the province so woll looked after and so well prepared to meet a fire as it is, but still it never did come to the scratch proporly. Since the Vancouver papers have Btoppod tolling them thoy " worked liko herooB," and performed "surprisingly wonderful deeds" at oach fire, the brigade seems to havo lost tbe heart for anything but show purposes.

Winlow, Toronto, writes: "Northrop k Lyman's Vegetable Discovery is a valuable medicine to all who are troubled -with indigestion. I tried a bottle of it after suffering for some ten years, and tho results are certainly beyond my expectations. It assists digestion wonderfully. I digest my food with no apparent effort, and am now entirely free from tlmt sensation, whioh .every dyspeptic woll knows, of unpleasant fulness after each meal." Police Court. lJpfore T. O. Atkinson, P. M. Charlie, a stuttoring chinaman, was charged with attempting to {.teal chickens from tho promises of Mr. John Cox. As was expected he pleaded not guilty. John Cox sworn: said, I found the prisoner, in my chicken yard, on Saturday night ubout 7:30 o'clock; I asked him what he wanted there and ho made off, but I caught him and handed him over to the police. He had taken some boards from the fence to effect an entrance I am satisfied he intended stealing some of the chickens. Charlie gave n number of very lame excuses to account for his presence in the yard, but they were not satisfactory. His Honor after reading Charlie a lesson on the law, sentenced him to 3 months imprisonment with hard labor. Annie Campbell, a half-breed woman charged with being drunk, was discharged with a warning. Theek abe Cheap Panaceas for various human ailments continually cropping up. Northrop k Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure has no affinity with any of these. Unlike them, the article is derived from the purest sources, is prepared with the utmost chemical skill, and Is a genuine remedy and not a pallative for Biliousness, Constipation, Kidney troubles, itriyurity of the blood, and female complaints.
