Louibville, Ky., Mar. 28.—A tornado struck Louisville at 7:30 o'clock last evening. It started at the south-eastern portion of the city at Seventh street and swept away a path five blocks wide diagonally, tracking a ragged line to Seventeenth street.and levelling every building in its course. Probably 2500 houses were destroyed, and a rougli estimate puts the number of people killed at five hundred, while there are many thousands Injured. The city Is in a craze, and tho inhabitants are wildly flecking relatives and friends. A large force of men Is at work on the ruins, and about one hundred bodies have been recovered. It Is impossible at the present moment to give any names of the killed. The buildings on Main street from Eighth to Fourteenth streets, are in ruins, not one of the handsome wholesale houses being left standing on Market street. Tlie city hall building was prostrated while several Masonic and Knights of Honor Lodges were In session, and one hundred men and women were buried in the ruins. Every other house oh Market, Jefferson nnd Walnut Btreets between Tenth and Sixteenth streets ia in ruins, 'Parkland, a suburb, is swept away. At the Union depot at the foot of Seventh street in this city, a Chesapeake and Ohio train wbb just leaving when the storm struck the building carrying it down on tlie train. All tlie passengers were rescued, however, with but slight injuries, except one newaboy who was badly hurt. The Great Tornado. In dj ana eoi, i s,Mar.28.-Wm. Robertson, of this city, conductor of the Jefferson- ville, Madison and Indianapolis road, left Louisville about 9 o'clock and, by bringing his train over the Ohio & Mississippi track, avoided tho obstruction on his own road which was caused by trees blowing across the track, aud got his train into Indianapolis at 3:15 this morning. He gives a graphic story of the mam points of the disaster, and Hays that in all probability fully 800 lives have been lost. Mr. Robertson says he was at supper In the Metropolitan Hotel at exactly eight o'clock, when there was a crashing aud roaring on the outside and the diners made a rush for the Btreet. Once there they wero confronted by additional terrors, for the air was full of flying bricks and signs and roofs, and to add to the horror of the occasion everything was inky darkness, but only for a moment. The roaring, crashing sound seemed to pass on into the darkness, and in the track left by it there sprang up in every direction long tongues of flame, by which the scene could be examined. Then from the masses of ruins which the flames lighted up, came shrieks and sobs and moans. The confusion caused by the tornado waa soon succeeded by that of people running to and fro, and wagons and lire engines running over the debris with which the streets were strewn. For a time evorybody pcemed paralized with fear, and apparently in doubt whether to flee or to wait for whatever fate had in store for them. The work of rescue at once began, and along the part of the town in which Robertson was the sidewalks were soon piled high with crushed, mangled, wounded and dead victims of the storm'B wrath. WagoiiB of all kinds were pressed into service, and the dead and wounded were hauled as rapidly as the darkness and confused condition of the streets would permit to houses outside the path of the tornado. Robertson remaind in town but an hour after the storm struck it, and consequently had but 'a limited opportunity for observation. What he saw was sufficient to show that when the full extent of the catastrophe ia known it will be ono of the worst In the nation's history. The storm came from the south-west, and seems to havo been a veritable tornado. The force of the wind was hardly felt above the Gait House, but below that so far as could be seen by the light of the blazing rdiasj everything was laid flat on the earth. In Main Hall a dance was in progress at the time and it is belloved that fully 300 lost their lives in this building alone. The sheds at Seventh street depot were blown down, coveriug the Louisville and Southern trains, which were made up, and injuring a large number of people, the street cars wore blown from the tracks in man v cases, and crushed against walla of buildings, and beforo Robertson left a large number of wounded who had received Injuries In this way were already reported. When the fire broke out in the ruins of 7th street a man and his wife and little girl were seen wedged under the debris, and although they shrieked and moaned and the spectators used almost heroic efforts to release them, It waB Impossible and thoy slowly burned to death. In presence of helpless hundreds none of those who came through on Jeffersonvillo. Madison and Indianapolis trai.is could estimate the extent of the disaster, but everywhere that the fire served as a beacon light, everything seemed swept clean In tlie streets, through which passengers passed to reach the depot. There were dead and dying and from the known facts and floating rumors there was reason to believe that the number of dead would reach fully a thousand. Awful Desolation, LOUIBVIU.B, Ky., March 28. — Such desolation no city has known during this century. Every building and telegraph pole within the stricken district is levelled. The cyclone was predicted by the signal service bulletin yesterday afternoon, but no heed was paid to the warning. The storm came with scarcely a warning, and the inhabitants were en- ?aged In their usual avocations when heir homes were destroyed. The district laid waste in the city comprises an area tnree miles long by nearly half a mile wide. Heaps of Dead. Louisville, March 28.—Mrs. Charles Haaaon, Rev. N. Bennett, pastor of St. James' Episcopal Church, one child aud fifteen unidentified bodies are lying in a, heap near the ruins. At the city hall other heaps of bodies are seen and all over the city many bodies have been taken away by friends. Hundreds of wounded havo been taken to their homes and to the hospitals, and all of the physicians In the city are engaged in attending them. At 8 o'clock last night seven fires were In progress, but they were all extinguished before much damage was done. No trains have arrived from Cincinnati, Lexington, or the south since yesterday afternoon. All the roads with the exception of the Pennsylvania havo been compelled to suspend operations. The tornado crossed the river from this city striking Jefforaonvlllc, Ind., and badly wrecking Front Street, but causing no loss of life. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. Hundreds Burled. Louisville, Ky., Mar. 28.—The greatest loss occurred at Fall City Hall, which stood in the centre of the devastated area. Seventy-five children with their Barents were in the lower room of tlie uilding where the little ones were taking dancing lessons, and it is said at leaBt 125 persons were on the lower floors and 76 to 100 were on the upper floors attending lodge meeting at the time the wind storm struck the building. The entire structure in a twinkling was a shapeless mass and hundreds of victims are buried under the.ruins. Chicago Gets It. Chicago, March 28.—The storm that set in last evening is still raging at 11 o'clock, with almost unabated fury, the high wind and blinding snow making Sedestrianism almost impossible. Lake [ichigau is in a fury, tbe famous North Shore drive upon which many palatial mansions are located is being rapidly swept away. Wiped Out. Cincinnati, Mar. 28—A late despatch states that the tornado struck the town of Bowling Green and completely wiped it out. Tho loss of life is conjectured large. The Budget Speech. Ottawa, Mar. 27.—The budget speech was delivered to-day by Hon. G.E. Foster, the Minister of Finance. The tariff changes are radical. Mr. Foster reviewed the condition of business in Canada,-and regarded the outlook as favorable. After referring to the fast Atlantic and Pacific steamship services, he gave the estimated revenue for the current year at (39,200,000, and the expenditure at (30,700,000, and the prospective surplus at (2.500,000. Taking up the tariff question, lie argued that the alley of protection should be continued. Je argued that thiB was the policy that won the victory last year for tlie Republican party of the United States. The tariff regulation embraces an interpretation clause, and cancels all orders- in-councll whicheonstitute decisions ou tariff matters. Scores of articles, including raw materials which are not produced in Canada, are allowed to enter free of duty, but the tendency iB towards increased protection. The leading tarifT changes are aa follows: Fancy ooxes, from 30 to 35 per cent; paints, the duties increased considerably ; window glaBS, free; ornamental glass, reduced from 35 to 25 per cent; gloves and mits, Increased from 30 to 85 per cent.; wall papers and hangings, a general reduction; dry plates for photographers, from 15 to 9 cents; stereotype plates for newspapers, duty collected by the square inch instead of by weight, meaning an increase; brass and copper wires,formerly free, now 15 per cent; covered wire 25 to 35 per cent. The duty on wool is increased from 1% to 10 cents per, pound, the duties on spirits and alcohol are slightly increased nnd re-arranged, but it practically implies no increase of the duties on proof strength. Straw and woolen hats are Increased to 5 per cent.; fur and felt hats, an increase of $1.50 per dozen, and 20 per ad valorem; formerly it was 25 oer cent. The flour duty increased .rom 50 centB to 76 centB per barrel. Increases also take place on cheese, butter, etc.; pork and mess pork, from 1 cent to \% cents per pound; salt pork and fresh meat from 1 and 2 cents to a uniform duty of 3 cents; prepared meats from 2 to 3 cents per pound; lard, from 2 to 3 cents per pound; untried lard, \& cent to 2 cents per pound; live hogs and sheep, 20 to 30 per cent, ad valorem; corn used for human food, a rebate of 90 per cent off the existing duty; corn grown for ensilage purposes, free of duty; molasses reduced uniformly one- half with modified testing regulations as well; fruits, plants and shrubs, formerly free, will be charged the same duty as was collected under the old tariff. On berries the duty is increased 3 to 4 cents per pound. Bananas and wild blueberries are ou the free list. Mining machinery not manufactured in Canada to be allowed ou the free list for 3 years, provided such machinery is not manufacturffl iu Canada. Steel, iron or other parts for iron and steel ships free. United States Congress. Washington, March20—In tho House to-day tho bill providing for the admission of Wyoming as a State was imub a special order, with the understanding that the previous question is to be considered as ordered at 1 unlock to-morrow. The bill will then be debated until the adjournment. The Senate spent the day in consideration of the Anti-Trust Bill. Mr. Ingalls made a strong speech in support of his amendment, imposing a tax on dealing in options. The amendments were adopted as follows: Extending the provisions of the bill to stocks and bonds; to boots and shoes, lend and lumber; to woolen goods and whiskey and all kinds of intoxicating drinks. The motion to refer the bill and amendments to the committee on Friday was rejected. A motion by Mr. Vest to increase the license for dealers in options to $10,000 was adopted. The bill was then reported to the Senate, the consideration liav- ing been iu committee of the whole, aud the Senate adjourned. Tho House Committee on Agriculture to-day authorized a favorable report on the bill introduced in the House oy Mr. Butterworth, defining "options" and "futures," and imposing special taxes on dealers therein. The bill waB reported with several amendments. London Notes. London, Mar. 20.—General Van Cap- rlva will act only temporarily as Prussian Foreign Minister. The Chronicle says that Herr Von Alvensleben has been appointed Imperial Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The Emperor has permitted Prince Bismarck to retain the title of Prince, with the title of Duke of Lauenberg as a second distinction. The Prince will bo addressed as His Serene Highness. The Post learns that the Emperor is annoyCd on account of the exaggerated reports which have been circulated in regard to his criticisms during his official visit with theofficerfl of the General Staff. These reports have led to a rumor that Count Von Walderseo, the Chief of Staff, would be transferred, but the rumor Is unwarranted. The Exter Gazette has tendered Mr, Parnell on apology for its action in republishing, from day to day, as they came out, the charges made by tbe Times that the Irish loader connived at crime. Mr. Parnell, who had begun a suit against the Gazette tor libel, has accepted the ^apology as satisfactory and will cause tlie legal proceedings to bo dropped. The extensive dry drocks at Lubeek were burned today. Much shipping was endangered, but most of the vessels were got out of tho reach of the flames unharmed. The Daily News' Odessa correspondent says that thero Is some talk In official circleB of appointing an Imperial commission to enquire into the abuses of the penal administration iu Siberia. Tho Post, In a leading,, article on the improvement of the navigation on the St. Lawrence River, congratulates Canadians upon the commercial future soon to be opened for them by the completion of a work which will make the St. Lawrence one of the greatest trading ways of the world. Nobby suitings and trouserings just arrived at J. S. Manson's. * tc OUR OTTAWA LETTER. The Establishment of a Dominion Health Department.—Lundy's Lane—-The Rykert Timber Scandal.—The Westminster—Victoria Hall Service.—Senator Mclnnes' Gaelic BUI. ( From Oar Own Correspondent.) Ottawa, March 17. HOUSE OF COMMONS, On Monday last Hon. Sir. Bowell read to the Houso two letters—ono from J. Stewart Tupper and the other from Hugh J. Macdonald—denying any connection on their part with the "Rykert Cypress Hills timber iimit deal." Mr. Rykert then read several letters and telegrams he had forwarded, and the replies to the same. Mr. Roome moved. "That, in the opinion of this House, the time has come when the Federal Government should establish a Health Department with a responsible head, presided ovor by a Minister or Deputy-Minister, for the purpose of preventing the spread of disease, collecting mortuary statistics,- and educitling the people, as far ns possible, ill nil health nnd sanitary matters." lie said: "Hardly any thought has hocn given to the importance of rescuing many persons from untimely graves, by preventing the spread of epidemics. vVhile we aro proud of our laws, which protect our lives from murder and the assassin, and protect our property from the robber, we have scarcely any protection against the spread of those zymotic diseases which are constantly amongst Us. It is not the numerical population which constitutes the strength of a nation, but it ia the physical and mental development us well. In In oui neighboring republic tbey have established at Washington a National Board of Health, aud almost every state has its State Board of Health—Florida was an exception, and remember the dreadful Bcourge of yellow fever they had there two years ago. They then established a State Board of Health. Let ub take warning from Florida, and not let our young and prosperous Dominion be caught in a similar position if. an epidemic should approach our shores." General Laurier Bpoke next, endorsing the motion, and was followed by Dr. Piatt, who said: "I bellevo it to be the duty of the Government to establish on a firm basis a department for the collection of such statistics as sanitarians wish to use, mortuary statistics of themselves are not sufficient; we want vital statistics, we want reports of births and marriages, of epidemics and of the ravages of preventable diseases throughout tlie country. I trust tlie time has gone by when the Parliament of Canada will treat lightly such an important question as that now under discussion." Mr. Sproule wns the next speaker. He said: "I recognize that it is as much the duty of the state to protect life from these diseases ns it is from the dagger of the assassin." Sir John asked tho mover to withdraw his resolution and proposed to have a convention, to which the Federal Government would nsk the several Provincial Governments to send representatives for the purpose of endeavoring to frame some united plan for exercising the various powers conferred upon them by the constitution iu such a manner that they could unite in one syBtem, nnd carry it out as efficiently and unex- pensively ns possible. BYKBKVs T1M11HK LIMITS. On Tuesday Sir Richard Cartwright moved a resolution, covering nearly three columns of the Hansard, re the J. K. Rykert timber limit affair. He said: " It appears to me that it was the duty of the Government of Canada to have taken this matter into their own hands. The question really amounts to this: Is this House of Commons, from this time forth, to bo considered a place of assembly whore the representatives of the people are to meet and discuss matters affecting the welfare of the community, or is it become, from this time out, a sort of bappv hunting ground for needy and unscrupulous adventurers? I consider that the facts disclosed in the case of the honorable member for Lincoln hhow that it is a very bad case. This transaction, nftcr all, is only a sort of peak ou which the hon. member for Lincoln stands, but a peak below which lies, perhaps, a mountain rang/ of still Undiscovered, but yet undeveloped, rascality. 1 say this whole correspondence, from start tu finish, recks of corruption at every pore. The order in council granted to Mr. John Adams this large tract of land for the sum of $5 per square mile, which he afterwards sold for $2,000 per square mile. No tenders were called for. Mr. Rykert said: " I am compelled to make my statement and my defense in answer in answer to tho charges made by tho honorable member for South Oxford, und then, unfortunately for myself, I am compelled to withdraw from the House until judgment is passed on the resolution he has offered. I desire that everything that I have done should be carefully weighed by this Parliament. I am desirous that the whole matter Bhould be fully investigated and probed to the very bottom. My whole record shows my consistency as a public man. I know this much, that the honorable gentleman (Sir Richard Cartwright) stood convicted before tlio people ns-being one of the most corrupt men who ever sat upon the floor of tho Parliament. I have not violated the Independence of Parliament Act, I have done nothing of which I am ashamed, and I have done nothing that would cause my suspension or expulsion from the House, The lion, gentleman (Sir Richard. Cartwright) must stand or fall by the proposition which he has put bofore tho House." Hon. Mr. Mills said: " For what purpose does tho honorable gentlemen (Mr. Rykert) ask a committee? I hope that the Government will neither postpone tlie debate nor refer the matter to a committee, but that they will deal with the question courageously aud|hoiiestly,upon its merits. It seems to me that there ought to be no differences of opinion 011 the two sideB of the HouBe with regard to this matter. The character of the House is involved; and the confidence which tho country has in public mon is Involved. I do not think it is desirable to let the honorable gentleman down by degrees, and to get rid of the question by postponement." Mr. White (Renfrew). Mr. Charlton, Mr.Tisdale, Hon. Mr. Bowell, Hon. Mr, Davies, Mr. Macdonald, Mr, Bcrgin.Mr. McMullcn,.Mr. Hickey and Mr. Weldon also spoke on the subject. Tho House then decided, on motion by Sir John Thompson, to adjourn the • debate, by a vote of, yens 94, nayB 72. MesBrs. Barnard, Earle, Mara and Prior voted in favor of the motion. Mr. Gordon was absent. On Wednesday, Mr. Wilson referred to the article that appeared In the Glasgow North Rritish Daily Mail, and wanted to know if tho Government's attention had been called to it. The article describes the condition of Crofters at Pelican Lake, and states that they are starving. Hoii. Mr. Dewdney in reply said: "That tho Government's attention had not been called lo the article, but that Mr, Bryce, of Winnipeg, in 11 letter states tlio article is a tissue of falsehood." lundy's lane, Mr. Ferguson moved: That, In the opinion of tills House, it is expedient that the Government of tlvj Dominion should tako stupj as soju iu posjlblo to onqnlro how b'Jdt to hjnor anil pjrpotu- ato tho memory of the mil who hut tholr live* In d»fondmg their coantry at the battle of "Lundy's Lana," and to preterva from dedication their last resting placo in th.> military cemetery at Niagara Falls, in accordance with the prayer of tho petitions presented to this House." He said: "I would ask the indulgence of the House while I make a few historical references with regard to the war of 1812. When war was declared, there were no people in Canada who took such an active part and energetic steps to de- feud the country and resist invasion as the people of French Canada. I desire to give you the last words of that celebrated soldier General Brock, after he fell in ascending Queeneton Heights, 'Never mind me; push on the York volunteers.' There is no place during tho war of 1812-13-14 where a battle took place in which the volunteers were so well represented as at Lundy's Lane. I ' think I can appeal with confidence to thiB House and to this country to take some means suitably to perpetuate their memory, and to mark with honor the resting place of those who fought iu the battle of Lundy's Lake. Mr. Hickey said: "Sympathizing, ob I do, with the mover of this motion, in the motion itself and with the words he has uttered, I wish to endorse most sincerely his arguments aud his prayer. I would like to see monuments erected on all our battlefields, not only on account of the national sentiments they would engender, but also to reflect the gratitude of tho ncople over the graves of those who sleep in honor, though under the unhallowed grass of a neglected cemetery." Mr. Denison Bald: "After the eloquent speeches of the mover of the motion and of the honorable gentleman who has just taken his seat, I intend to occupy the time of the House but a few momenta while I add a word endorsing thiB resolution. I hope thiB House will in Its wisdom Bee fit to do something towards the object mentioned and deserved in the motion, ■ Mr. Edgar thought while it would be well for the Government to give a email sum towards the objects, voluntary contribution from the people should be given. Mr. Cook said: "I am in much sympathy with the proposition made by the honorable member for Welland, I believe it is in the interests of the country that we Bhould mark with somo monument the place where liea the dust of the heroes of the battle fought at Lundy's Lane." SirAdolph Caronsaid: "I must say (aud it iB a very great pleasure to me to be able to give testimony to the House on this point) that these deeda of our forefathers, these momorable acts of valor which were displayed ou this battlefield, and bo many others in Canada, are every day attracting more and more the attention of the Canadian people. I am on of those who believe that people which has a history Is a fortunate people, and I believe it is the boundeu duty of every man, who feels in his heart a love for his country, that lie should by every means in his power contribute to give to that history all the lustre it can properly acquire by being transmitted from generation to generation, aa au example to those who will follow us, and who will learn from these deeds of valor the acts of patriotism which those who fought at Lundy's Lane, and at other bottles, have handed down to posterity—we ought to have monuments, I think, on the Burlington Heights, at Amherstburg, at Lundy's Lane at Stony Creok, at Chysters Farm, at Chautcauguay, nt Beaver Dam, at Odelltown, at Laeolle, and at Montreal to Maisonueuvc, the founder of that city." AN OFFSET TO 1IKAVV DUTIES ASKED. Mr. Eisseneauer moved, "That, where - s the Dominion of Canada in 1878 received four nnd a half millions of dollars from the United States for the use of our fisheries, the Interest on which from 1878 to 1889 amounts to about two millions J and whereas the Dominion lias paid as bounty to the fishermen since 1882 $1,059,000; leaving about one million iu the treasury of the interest on said $4,500,000, and whereas the manufacturers of pig iron were allowed a bounty of $1.50 per ton from 1883 to 1880,and a further bounty of $1. per ton from 1880 to 1889; and whereas our fish are subject to heavy duties in the West Indies and the United States, to which countries the largest portions of our fish are exported. Resolved, that, in view of the foregoing facta, it is, In the opinion of this Houso, expedient that the Government should increase the bounty now allowed over fishermen In that proportion to the increase allowed on pig iron, and thereby, to some extent compensate them for the heavy duties ou their fish in foreign markets." He said: "There are 01,000 employed in the fisheries, the yield being about Vt}4 millions in 1888. The pig iron industry gives employment to 760 men, and the value of tlie product is only $837,000. General Laurier, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Kirk,, and Mr. Kenny also spoke on the subject. Mr. Brown's Pigeon Shouting Bill then came up for discussion, Messrs. Davin, Armstrong, Brown, McNeill, Gullbet, Freeman, and Tisdale spoke on the question. The House then resumed tlie debate ou the proposed motion of • Mr, Taylor, for the second reading of Bill (No. 8) "An Act to prohibit the Incorporation and migration of Foreigners aud Aliens under contract or Agreement to Perform Labor In Canada." Sir John Macdonald said: "I do not think it Ib desirable that this bill should be adopted, although the legislation ou the other Bide has been extremely unfriendly. I do not believe that we ought to imitate the legislation of the United States. We require a large influx of settlers to occupy our great west," Hon. Peter Mitchell, Hon. Mr. Da- vies, and Mr. Gilhnour, also opposed the motion. TUB NEW BUILDINGS. The new departmental building on Wellington street has already cost $008,- 090.70. Mr. Charlebols, the contractor for the building, has put in claims for extras amounting to $393,954.19, but Sir Hector Langevin says, is willing to re* duce his claims to $200,000. The question is how many hundreds of thousands of dollars did Mr. Charlobois want to make out of the contract when he first entered his claim? Mr. Garth wants $9,233 for apparatus. Mr. Fenson. for elevators, claims $3,015. All this brings the total amounts In as follows: Building, $608,096.70; CharleborlB, $200,000; Garth, $9,233; Fenson, $3,015; total, $820,344.70. OUK MAIL SERVICE. < The House In supply voted $17,640 for steam service between San Francisco and Victoria, B. 0. Mr. Mara said: "I notice that an item for mall communication between New Westminster and Victoria has been dropped, Is it Intended to place that amount In the supplementary estimated?" Mr. Foster replied: "That is an amount which heretofore has been paid for mall service by that route. The PoBtmaBter-general, in accordance with an agreement made last year, is allowing a certain rate out of postal revenue, and that amount will be paid to the vessel. I will take up the case'and submit it to my colleagues before the supplementary estlmateflare brought down. THK SENATE. On Monday the Keofer divorce bill received its second reading. Also the "Deceased Wife'B Amendment Bill," and the "Patent Act Amendment Bill." On Tuesday, Hon, Mr, Mclnnes (B.

As the public are aware new developments have transpired in Southern Railway matters. Mr. Bennett, the hoad of the enterprise, has announced his desire to relinquish the $150,000 bonus for tho railway, the promised bonus of $100,000 for the bridge, the grant of the so-called "pleasure grounds," and the 400 acre grant on Lulu Island, and wishes, on tho • other hand to bo released from the obligation of building the main bridge over tho Fraser, the bridge across the North Arm to Lulu Island, the construction of the workshops on that Island, and the fulfilment of the other conditions on which the grant was made. After making a clean sweep of the old agreements, Mr. Bennett asks the city to place at his disposal Lytton Square for a station, twelve water lots in front of tho Square for railway purposes, the strip of land lying between Webster's wharf and It, C. P. Mills, a right-of-way thirty feet in width from Lytton Square to the western city limits, and exemption from taxation for twenty-five years (the greater part of which considerations the old agreement also contained in addition to those now sought to be relinquished), and in consideration of these grants and privl leges the Railway Company wilt agree to put on a railway ferry, landing freight and passengers at Lytton Square without any additional cost for crossing the river. Until the matter is properly laid before the Council, which will be done at a caucus meeting to-night, and afterwards submitted to the people, it would he premature to express any positive opinion. . It would appear, however, that, if some advantages are to be relinquished by the City in the railway matter, others will be gained. In the meantime, as Westminster's prosperity is not dependent upon the Southern Railway, or any accidental circumstance connected with it, there is no excuse for any public perturbation over the matter. All that is necessary iB that the Council in its communications with the Railway Company should carefully guard the City's interests in every particular, whioh, we believe, will be done, and that the ratepayers should havo the opportunity of finally rejecting or approving any new arrangements. several cases scarcely less remarkable than this, and some that in one respect are even more so, in the fact that by notification of the subject while in the trance stage of hypnotism, the experimenter's control was continued for a specified time, or might be indefinitely, after the subject was restored to con. sciousness and general self-control. It is presumed that the whole thing is a humbug. But if it be a fraud, it is a most cunning one, and has evidently deceived, a good many hard-headed thinkers, and many of the demonstrations have been so respectably attested that nothing short of conclusive expo sure would seem to justify a refusal to accept them in evidence. The possession and'exercise of such a power as is represented in these publications would go far toward revolutionizing criminal practice and the rules of evidence, an exchange truly observes. The plea of hypnotic influence would be set up to atone for every crime, and crimes that were never committed would be proven by the testimony of persons who would innocently, hut falsely, testify as eye-witnesses being made to believe they had seen what in fact did not occur. NOTES AND C0_.__E-.T8. HYPNOTISM AND SOME OF ITS STRANGE MANIFESTATIONS. Hypnotism or mesmerism is attracting a great deal of attention in the scientific and philosphical world just now. The marvellous power that the practiser of the mysterious art can exercise upon his subject, which is receiving new and more startling exemplifications every day, has caused the question to be discussed also from a medico-legal, as well as from a purely abstract or philosophical standpoint, and the ultimate result is likely to he that the practice of hypnotism will be placed under very stringent legal restrictions, not only to protect subjects of its indiscriminate and careless exercise from serious danger to their sanity nnd health, buttopreventdesigningand unscrupulous adepts at the art from using their power as a means of causing others to commit crime when under the hypnotic influence. Many examples of the power of the hypnotic spell, and the complete subser viency of the subject to tbe operator, are being reported by the press, of which we will quote a fow. The Religio-Philotophi- cat Journal, says an exchange, gives a report of a demonstration which surpasses anything in that line previously recorded. At an exhibition in hypnotism which was witnessed and vouched for by the writer, the professor had s number of "subjects" on the stand, among whom was a staid and highly respectable old gentleman, sixty yeara of age. By an exercise of his art, whatever it may be, the professor apparently made this old gentleman believe himself a boy again, inspired with boyish tastes and notions. Henceforth all of the old gentleman's actions comported with the idea that he was a boy of ten years old, instead of being a man of sixty. Calling the boys and the old gentleman around him, the professor proposed a game of marbleB, to which they all gleefully assented, By a pressure of his finger in their several palms, the professor presented each of them with an imaginary marble, a "ring" and "taw" were established and the game proceed- "ed. The old man won first play and and carefully "lagged" his imaginary marble near one of the imaginary marbles In the ring, being very careful to toe the imaginary mark in shooting, and also with great care noted where his marble had landed, all of which appeared to be real, not only to himself but also to the other players. While the others were taking their shots, and while tho old man's back was turned, one of the boys stooped down, picked up the old man's marble, and pocketed it. Then, when tt again came the old man's turn to shoot, and when he went to pick it up, he missed it and at once made a search for it in the pocket of tho boy who. had stolen It; there being no real marble in the case from beginning to end, be it understood. Of course this seems like a highly improbable if not an utterly impossible case, but it is highly accredited and it is hard to conceive that any respectable journal or writer would foist it upon the public unless themselves deceived. The especial mystery in this case, if it was not a trick, is to account for the action oi the mind which made the old man miss an imaginary marble when he was not aware that another had attempted to steal it. - The theory is that he saw and thought whatever tho experimenter chose to have hi in see and think. A writer for the Fobruary Arena cities Clubs are multiplying in Boston with amazing rapidity; in fact the city seems to be club mad. This gives point to a recent remark of a bright woman. "We are returning," sho said, "to the days of savagery, and are being clubbed to death." The city of St. John, N.B., has taken a leaf out of Toronto's book, says the Mail, having organized a permanent Ehibltion Association for the purpose of holding nn Agricultural, Horticultural and Industrial Fair each year. The first will bo opened on September 24th, and will be continued until October 4th Among its leading features will be an exhibit of West Indian products, a collection of the products of the mines and forests of the Maritime Provinces, and a marine section. The St. Louis World's Fair Committee is closing up its business, and its treasurer has just published his Anancial statement. The total amount expended in the effort to secure the prize which Chicago carried off was $26,325. Among the items is one of $1,583 for "sundry expenses" at Washington. As rent, salaries and hotel expenses at the capital are elsewhere accounted for it would be interesting to know what the "sundries" were. Probably in influencing legislative opinion by the irrigation method. King Leopold is having made for Stanley a magnificent casket with Stanley's portrait on tho lid, Burround- ed with gems. The casket is to contain the Grand Cordon of the order of Leopold, which Mr. Stanley will be invited to wear at one of the numerous fetes to be given in his honor. The question of rewards to be granted Lieutenant Stairs and Surgeon Parke will arise on the arrival of Mr. Stanley in England. The general opinion in official circles seems to be that it will be left for the Foreign Office to recognize the services of the two young officers, and they will be created Companions of St Michael and St. George.—-Ex. Vital statistics of Norway, recently published, show an expectation of life in that country that can hardly be paralleled In any other country, says an exchange. The mean duration of life is 48.33 years for males and 51.40 years for females. In England the mean duration of life iB 41.35 years for males and 44.62 years for females. In other words, a Norwegian at his birth may reasonably expect to live seven years longer than an Englishman. But of course an Englishman would reply to this that a short life In the tight little isle is more desirable than a long life in Norway, in the spirit of tho line, "Better fifty years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay. The approaching conference in Australia regarding federation will consist of members of the existing Federal Council, but as New South Walea does not recognize that body the members will meet not in their official capacities but ao representative men. The views which it is hoped this .council will go far to reconcile are very diverse. Sir Henry Parkei, the Premier of New South Wales, tho promoter of the scheme, declares for complete union. The opinion of Sir Samuel Griffith, of Queensland, is that trade reciprocity is for the present impracticable. The Premier of South Australia, Mr. Cock- burn, adheres to the protective policy of his colony. An English paper asserts that there is a titled lady, whose chief pleasure Ib found in exhibiting her muscular powers in her own drawing-room to a circle of admiring and astonished friends. Attired in a long and clinging gown, she lies down at full length upon the floor, with arms held closely to her sides, A friend is then requested to fasten her skirts securely around her feet and place her handkerchief upon them. This done, the handkerchief is conveyed by her feet to her mouth. She then resumes her first position, and, without moving her arms, gradually raises herself till she stands upon her feet, without a hair out of place or the tiniest bead of moisture on her brow. Mr. Bradlaugh has introduced his Indian Councils Bill into the Imperial Parliament. It provides that an executive council of five members shall advise the Viceroy, who has an absolute veto over Its resolutions. Then there is to he a supreme legislative council for India—a parliament, and yet not a parliament. One-fourth of its eighty members are to be appointed by the Crown, while the remainder would be elected on a wide, but not universal suffrage, each elector to have but one vote and the voting to be by ballot. Coming from an advanced politician the'measure is held to be conservative enough to arouse serious discussion, but that it will do anything more at present is not oxpected. A writer on the New York Star, who attended a "blow out" of the Japanese Club there, afterwards writing about it, said:—"I was Interested in the difference In etiquette between Japan and the Occident. Though thero was a hundred or more present, the rooms were as silent almost as if they were deserted. Everyone talked in whispers to every- i. The refreshments were served by waiters who were silence embodied, and every Oriental who did anything, said anything, or heard anything, ex pressed his pleasure by bowing from once to three times, until the American eye was weary with the excessive courtesy. They even go so far that when a person reading a newspaper turns it so as to make a noise, he makes a bow of apology to all within earshot, and all who hear the sound or Bee the bow, bow in return, as if to say, "Do not mention It." The Savannah (Ga.) New, says: D. R. Parkman tells of a curious phenomenon in Chattahoochee county—a place where rain falls perpetually. The spot is located on a little knoll in a thin wood ontheShipp place; two miles fromThad. Mr. Parkman says the discovery was first made last Thursday, and that rain has been falling steadily on the knoll since that time. The downfall covers a space of fifty feet square. ThiB space iB perfectly wet and tho leaves on the ground are full of water. Mr. Parkman says he visited the place with G. A. McBryde, at noon Tuesday. There was not a cloud to bo seen in the sky, and the leaves everywhere, oxcopt on the square, were as dry as tinder. "I stood with the space between me and the buii," said Mr. Parkman, "and saw the raindrops coming steadily down from the sky. I held out my handkerchief and it was soon saturated with water." Mr. Parkman Bays that everybody who hears about the phenomenon Ib sceptical, but that tho many who have visited the place in the last few days have gone away convinced. No one has yet offered an explanation of the mysterious rainfall. Mr. Parkman suggests that Borne powerful unknown substance attracts the moisture from the atmosphere, ^^^^^^^^^ The Columbian job department ia now in running order, and prepared to turn out flrst-clasB work of every description. * B' LOST.

"Poor Charlie!" said Miss Mlnden- oroft. "I am very sorry for him—very, Indeed—but a woman with a oareer be* fore her can't be encumbered with such a husband as that!" Naroissa Mindoncroft stood before the full-length mirror that was vailed in white muslin and swinging between gilded standards, a proud, imperious beauty of nineteen. "My dear," said sage Mrs. Nerol, "isn't Mr. Dallas the same that he was a year ago, when you first became engaged to him?" "I suppose so," said Naroissa, half reluctantly. "But it is I that have changed, Mrs. Nerol. Signor Forroni says that there is a fortune in my voioe. I am to be trained for the operatic stage. I am to travel In Italy and study six hours a day. Charlie wants me to marry him and settle down as a mere drudging housekeeper) The ideal" "That is all nonsense, Naroissa, "said Mrs. Nerol, with spirit. "Charlie Dallas Is the last person in the world to ezpeot his wife to become what you term a drudging housekeeper." "It's all the same thing," said the olive-cheeked beauty. "I don't think I shall marry at all, to tell the truth!" Mrs. Nerol shook her headsaaly. She knew the nature of the brilliant, proud, spirited young creature too well to attempt any remonstrance with her. So Naroissa Mlndencroft went to Italy to study for the operatic stage, with her maid and a grim, spectacled old lady, who wore dyed black silks and talked monotonously about "having seen better days." Charles Dallas was left behind— a part of the past whioh seemed to Naroissa as nothing in regard to her radiant future. But life has its shadows as well as Its sunshine and poor Naroissa's path was destined to pass through both. Scarcely five years had passed since she stepped upon the deck of tho European steamer and we see her again sitting solitary and alone In the second- story back room of a third-rate New York boarding-house. The Roman fever had smitten her down just as she was about to reap the laurel crown of suo- cess, and after a horrible dream of fevered pain she had recovered consciousness only to realize that she had utterly lost the fine, delicate timbre of her voice, and—more terrible than ail- that she was quite penniless and deserted even by the old lady who "had seen better days." "Not contagious," the old lady had said, hurriedly dinging her belongings Into a bag when first Miss Mindoncroft had been taken ill. "Ah—it's very well for the doctors to say so—but who can be certain that it is really so? I've my own Interests to look to, and I never was of any partioular use in a sick chamber!" So Naroissa had come baok to her na- ' tivo city, humblo and chastened in spirit, to find. every thing totally changed. Good old Airs. Nerol was dead. No ono knew any thing of Charlie Dallas—and the poor girl put an advertisement for music pupils into the papers and counted over the slender contents of her purso with the terrible fear lest they should give out before there were any prospeots of a reinforcement. Apparently, however, nobody was particularly desirous of availing himself of the servicosof "a young person who had been educated In the best Italian school for the voice and piano," and Naruissa's prospects were getting decidedly dispiriting, when Mrs. Miller, tlio organist of the ohapel, where she crept daily to say her prayers, accosted her one day. "Miss Mindoncroft," she said, abruptly, yet not unkindly, "I think you told me you could sing?" "I can—a little," laid Naroissa, meekly. "Do you think you could undertake two or three ballads at a $oireeV asked Mrs.Miller. "'Dreaming,' 'WhenSwallows Build,' an aria from 'Martha,' or something of that kind? A friend of mine waB engaged to sing at Mrs. Dayton's on the twentieth of the month, but she has a sore throat and I am commissioned to find a substitute." "Ohl" cried Naroissa, with a fluttering heart, "I would be so glad of the opportunity, X would do my very, very best!" "Have you a piano at your lodgings?" asked Mrs, Miller. Naroissa colored and shook her head. "I can not afford it," said she. "I am very poor." "Then we will go to my house and try your voice," Bald Mrs. Miller. The verdict wbb: "Not bad. Your voice Ib tolerably sweet, but not strong. I dare say, however, It may do for this occasion." Poor Narcissa. ThiB "faint praise" was a contrast to what she had expected when she had first trained her fresh young voice for the applause of breathless thousands. But she stifled her mortification and smiled her gratitude for Mrs. Miller's encouragement and recommendation. And then Bhe went home to practice hor ballads and make the best bargain she could with old Madame Monlse, who kept a second* hand clothing emporium, for ono evening's use of a dark blue silk dress, trimmed with black lace, whioh was not so wry much wornl For Naroissa had nothing of her own but the plainest black alpaca, and a well-worn olive* green serge, neither of which costumes, howevor respectable In themselves, were exactly adapted to the splendors of Mrs. Dayton's ball-rooms. The eventful evening arrived at last, and the professional balladlst found herself seated at the piano, among the glittering throng. She need not have ' been so nervous, nobody took any notice of her boyond the merest passing glance. Mrs. Dayton horaolf, a sweet- faced blonde in white satin and pearls, came up to the singer when ber first little song was finished, and thanked her pleasantly. "I will send a waiter to you with a glass of wine," Bald Mrs. Dayton. "You must be tired." So until tho timo for her next song should come NarcisBa Bat quietly watch* Ing the dancers, the promenaders, the Inevitable flirtcrs, while one Herr So- bieskl did musical wonders upon the violin. Presently she saw in the flower- garlanded portal of the door a tall figure which sho knew well, though years had elapsed Btnoo last she looked upon It—Charles Dallas' self. Sbe turned to the plump, elderly lady who sat noxt her, eating forced straw .berries and cream with a oountenanco 'of the Beronest satisfaction. "Who Ib that gentleman by the door?' ahe asked. "The gentleman talking to Mrs. Dayton?" ' The plump lady paused, with a strawberry as plump sb herself poised upon her gold spoon. "Why," said she, "It's Mr. Dayton, to be sure." "X think you must be mistaken," said Naroissa, with her heart boating very fast. "I—I am quite oertain that I k used to know htm years ago; and his [ name was Dallas—Charles Dallas." t "It ts the same one," said the plump, f elderly lady, nodding her head. "You •> haven't hoard of the death and eccentric will of his rich uncle? Dallas inherited a fortune fit for a Prince, with only the condition that he Bhould add the surname of the old miser—Dayton—to his . own. Dallas-Dayton, It .Is printed on i the cards; and his wife was a great helr- ess, too; she was Miss Moneyman, of the firm of 'William Moneyman & Co.* But I am 'told the marriage was quite a love- match. You oan easily see how devoted they are to each other. Mr. Dayton met with quite a disappointment early in life, I have heard; but It Is easy to perceive"—with a complacent chuckle— "that the old wound is entirely healed by this time." So Narcissa Mindoncroft Bang her second ballad and her third, and received her check for ten dollars from Mrs. Dallas-Dayton's gracious hand and went home, quite unnoticed and unrecognized by the man to whom her smile or her frown had onoe been like a second fate! There were a great many people there, and it was scarcely to be expected that the host should seek out the paid ballad singer who trilled her notes for the amusement of her guests,' any more than she should distinguish Herr Sobieskl or Signor Tremollni who played the violin and "did" the cornet solos. It was all right and natural enough. But Naroissa orled quietly upon hot' pillow when she got back to her cheerless room. A homeless, friendless, loveless old maid -it was hardly the sort of life she had anticipated when she threw off Charles Dallas' faithful love like a worn-out glove. The lesson of life! We all have to learn it, but to some It Is bitterer, far, than to others.—Amy Randolph, In N. Y. Ledger. QE ORQE WAS HONEST. How a Chicago Man Madu Ilia Wifo Feel Decidedly (.heap, A young married woman on the North tide suddenly grow Busplelotis of her Liisband, who before his marriage bad ■eon "one of the boys," and recently iho determined to catch him. Monday, lays the Chicago Tribune, he told her he had to go to the lodge, ''That Ib only his excuso,'' Bhe said to herself. "Ho'll not fool mo this time" As soon as he was around the corner she was after him in a cab. Tho husband, oblivious of the espionage ho was under, went straight to tho lodge hall. The cab was pulled tip whoro a view of the hall entrance was secured, and there watch was kept. "He will he down soon,' repeated the wife to herself, ''and then I will e«coh hira as he sneaks away." At ten o'clock lodgo was ovor, and the husband camo down with the other members. . Tho ' 'shadow" In the cab was alert to catch evory word. ''Come, George," Bhe heard some one say, "let's havo a drink before you go home." "Not to-night," sho noxt hoard In re- ply. "I must go straight home. My wife did not seem well, and I am inxious about hor." Then tho husband started off homeward at a brisk walk. "Whip your horse," tho now crestfallen wife exclaimed frantically to tho cabby. "I must got home before he Joes." The welcome tho husband received thut night wns it surprise to him. "This seems," ho said, "like old limes." BEAUTIFUL SCIENCE. A Ohat with One of New York's Black-Bye Artiste. LIGHT-WEIGHT DREAD. How a Dlshoi-<.H(: i :■.;..tVi. llotrayed by Iloiu-fli, iMl ;'. It occurred in war timo.. in Charleston whon that city w;_.t u.iIcr miirtial law, aayn tho St. Louis Republic! Just then flour was Boawio nnd several of tho bakers sucoumbod to temptation and made short-woight bread. This aamo to the oars of the iiuUinvlUos and tho provost-marshal was nrtiidd with a pair of sealos and sent around to tho buke- ahops early every morning lo weigh the broad. All short-weight hroud found was confiscated. Thin httd agood effect and after a few oonflsCi./.ohs tho provost-marshal usually found all tilings regular. One morning ono of tho bakers rocoivod the usual call from tho marshal and his bake was takon frum tho oven and weighed and found correct to an ounce. But during tho nigh't> this man had surreptitiously baked a quantity of light-weight bread and stowed it away under the oounter. Just as tho marshal and his detail were leaving the shop a pot parrot perched upon the top uf a big cage called out: "Look uiidor the counter." The marshal did so, discovered tho Ught-woiglit broad, and carted it away. Tho man wus so mail at his parrot that after the soldiers had gone wrung hiB neck and throw him out into the gutter. But I'olly was not dead by any moans. In a few momenta ho opened one eye, ruffled up his feathers and staggered about until ho came upon .ho carcass of a dead dog. Polly cooked his eye at the do timet canine ana then said: "Say, partner, did you say any thing about thut bread?" OUR SCHOOL-GIRLS. Some Uinta That Vuunj Ladles Would Do Well tu llnud. The average school-girl rises only in timo to eat a hurried breakfast and reach school at nine, says the Christian Register, ■ Tho girlB under twelve, who are not tho ones that break down, are not too dignified to romp at recess, and In that way they fill their lungs with fresh air every day. Thoso aboulj twelve or thirteen rarely havo a broatii of out* side air from nino to two in the afternoon. They eat their luncheons curled up in heaps In comfortable corners If they oan find them. They take littlo •xerclse, except in a few schools, whore thoy dance for a few minutes. A solitary lunch of cold or "warmed over" food on reaching home is followed usually by an hour or two of study Instead of by a brisk walk or otbor exercise. There Is more study after supper, ambitious girls studying late In tho evening. If there Is any well-established physiological faot it is that girls in their teens need an abundance of sleep, and Bleep before midnight, if possible. The teachers must give a certain amount of homo work to their pupils in order to keep them up to the grade, moro is tbe pity, but, since that is a necessity, tho fathers and mothers >t home should mako every thing else innd to that und health. Thero is no >no thing that is bo nocessaryand that night be ao easily securod, If firmness wore exercised, as a long night of sleep for the fust-growing brain and tbe glrb- ish frumos that are rapidly assuming the proportions of maturity. Haw Orators SelMHge itlve. "Pothorgill on Indigestion," In speaking of the oyster being eaten habitually and by preference in tho raw or uncooked state, says: "It is Interesting to know that there is a sound physiological reason at the bottom of thiB preference. The fawn-colored mass whioh constitutes the dainty of the oyster Is Us liver, and this la littlo less than a mass of glycogen; associated with the glyoogen, but wltheld from actual contact with it during life, Is its appropriate digestive ferment—the hepatic diastace. The more crushing between the teeth brings these two bodies together, and the glycogen Is at onoe digested, without othor help, by Its own diastace. The oyster in the uncooked state, or merely warmed, is, in fact, Bolf-digestive. But the advantage of this provision is wholly lost by cooking, for the heat employed immediately destroys the associated ferment, and tho cooked oyster has to be digested like any other food by the eater's own digestive powers."

AH Sort* of racial Detects Covered Up bj an Expert-Bed Noses Pointed Whlte-The Work of Sandbag- f era Cleverly Imitated. The black-eye artist of the Bowery has recently added several new accomplishments to his great specialty, says the New York Sun. Having achieved local fame aa a skillful disguiser of tbe most embarrassing of facial disfigurements, he Is endeavoring to meet the frequent demands that are made upon him to conceal other physical defects of a more or loss compromising nature. He has attained such proficiency with his brush and powder and cosmotic that ho Is ready to guarantee that one of his painted eyes wlll pass even a suspicious wife's scrutiny. This success has led him to make the treatment of red noses his latest specialty, and he is doing a rushing business in this and some incidental Bide lines. "It is curious," said he with a significant smile, "that we never have a black eye brought in here that waa received in a light. They aro always caused by accidents more or loss peculiar. Of course most mon 'run against a door In the dark,' or 'slip on the Btalrs and atriko the banisters,' or if It is warm and he ia a family man he 'was playing ball with the children.' The women—" "Women!" "Bleaa you, yes, lota of 'em, and they're mighty particular, I tell you. 1 wish they would stay away, for there's no money In painting eyes for women at fifty cents an eye, I started to tell you the women always have some accident in connection with their domestic duties to give In explanation of the unsightly bruise, for a woman—or a man either, for that matter—never fails to explain to us elaborately just how it happened. Most of our black-eye customers, If tho truth wore told, aro clerks incstores and offices who have been on abit of a time, and who know it won't do to carry the marks of It around in sight of their employers,- Thore really are other things than another man's fist that will cause a blaok eye, but you oan't make anybody believe it. So it usually happens that a man who has Innocently met with an accident is as anxious to get rid of tho suggestive marka of It as is another chap who has been in a brawl and has got worsted. As a matter of fact, nearly all our customers are re- spectablo peoplo. Plug uglies don't bother to concoal a blaok oyo. It gives thorn a distingue appearance that they are rather proud of. It is the man of standing who, after he hus tried raw beefsteak, an ice compress, a brown paper plaster, and all the other things in vain, comes in despair to us. He might as well come at once, for a black oyo onco gained is not to bo got rid of inside of ton days, and It wlll he nearly two weeks beforo tho natural color is fully restored. How many black eyes do wo treat? Well, the average now is vory nearly one hundred a week. A black eye should ho painted lully twlco a week while it lasts. Some victims who aro fearful of discovery coino in every morning while tho affliction lasts to ho touched up a little on their way to business." "How do you manage with red noses?" 'Oh, in the same way. It is a more delicate job to put the innocent complexion ot youth upon a nose deep-dyed by high living of half a lifetime. Tho noso is the most prominent feature, and the most skillful work is,required to disguise its color so that the handiwork of the artist wlll not betray Itself. Nobody ever admits that his carmine- tipped nose Is the result of dissipation or high living. It is always a oase of erysipelas. Wo don't uttompt to cure a red nose, although our sign outside announces, 'Red Noses Cured.' Wo only disguise them. No, nobody coraeB regularly to have u noso painted. We have regular customers, however, who como once in awhilo as special occasion may mako It necessary. The explanation usually given, and I have no doubt It is a true one, is thut the owner of tho luminous proboscis intends to attend a funeral and wants to be made inoon- ptOUOUB." "What other work do you do?" "Oh, a groat variety. We even make black eyea aa well as cure them. Only a week agoa man camo in here and asked me to paint one of his eyes terrifically black. He had bucked the tiger tho night beforo, and had lost almost all his money, a large sum. Ho didn't darn go homo without an innocent explanation of his loss, so he hud faked up a startling story about being sandbagged and robbed. I supplied him with corroborative evidonoo of tho Bandbugglng In my most artistic style. It is a very common thing for men who are candidates for tho police and flro departments to oome In hero to get fixed up before submitting to tho physical examination that Is required. Wo covor up marks of old Injuries and other defects very skillfully, I can assure you. There was a fellow hero only throe days ago who had a bad hole or depression In his leg. We filled It up and colored it naturally, and I don't believe the deception was detected. Yes, we supply all sorts of disguises. I prosuine the purpose Is always innocent. Wo don't ask any questions. It's none of our business." FARM PRODUCE. Hard-wood, Fir, Bark, ftc.| Ac*. &c. LEAVE ORDKRB AND SETTLE ACCOUNTS AT AUSTIN'S WHARF. df.lt. WESTMINSTER Poultry Yards! JNO. S.

The Southern Railway Abandons the Bonus and Land Grants, and Offers a New Proposition. A meeting was held last evening be- ween Mr. Nelson Bennett and the dir rectors of the Southern Railway Company at which It was determined to abandon the bonus of $150,000 voted by the ratepayers and the other privileges, and to substitute a new proposition involving only some of the minor privileges granted in the original agreement. Following are the principal features of the new proposition: (1.) That the city shall give the Company right of way through the city thirty feet in width wherever they have that much available ground, or twenty- five feet in places where private or leased properties are interfered, in the case of leases the full width to be given when the leases should expire. (2.) That the city shall give the Company Lytton Square for station and other purposes, and tbe twelve lots in; front of the square for railroad purposes ; also the strip of land lying between Webster's wharf and tbo Royal City Plaining Mills. (3) That the city shall grant the Company exemption from taxation for a period of twenty-five years. (4) In consideration of these rights and privileges tbe Company would put on a ferry of sufficient proportions to do all their railroad business and for tho transportation of freight and passenger cars across the river and iuto the city, and they would undertake to slit down passengers and freight on this side of the river at the same charge as on the south side. The reasons given for abandoning tho agreement are various. The company find that the railway bridge could not be constructed within the specified limits except at immense cost, and which the company Is not prepared to undertake at present. Lulu Island the company finds, would not be a suitable site for the workshops, and as much of the ground would have to be filled to a depth of several feet the cost would again be enormoUB, besides which the acquisition of-the Lulu Island grant bears with it several conditions in regard to bridging, dyking, road building, etc., which would be an immense burden on the company. In regard to the site of the workshops nothing has been settled, but Mr. Thompson Bays they will be very close to the oity—where the most suitable lands can be purchased. The new proposition will be laid before the city council in caucus this evening, and its full provisions will he laid before our readers at the earliest possible date* _____________ PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT. Thursdays' Proceedings. [From Our Own Correspondent.] Victoria, March 27.—Mr. Speaker took the chair at 2 p. m. Prayers by Rev. Andrew Beanlands. Consideration of the further report was adjourned until Tuesday next. Mr. Cunningham asked tlie Hon. the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works the following questions: Why haa not the Government issued to Samuel Greer a Crown grant of the land comprised in pre-emption 1,003, in conformity with the recommendation of the Select Committee's report, which was adopted by the House on the 27th day of April, 1888? The Hon. Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works replied as follows: The land to which Mr. Greer prefers claim is situated on the south side of English Bay, immediately east of lot 192,group 1. It was within and formed part of a certain timber limit, which was granted to "The British Columbia and Vancouver Island Spar, Lumber and Saw The Stranded Gladys. Capt. Powers of the Btr. Gladys arrived down from Johnson's Landing last night and brought the information that the stranded steamer would easily be got off without further iujury. Everything was In readiness yesterday to float her, the scows were along side and other details arranged and Bhe was gradually being raised by means of n windlass when one of the timbers to which the ropes were fastened gave way under the strain and it was found necessary to lower her to the bottom again. Capt. Powers came to the city for stronger timbers which he procured and left again last night for the scene of the wreck. The place where the Gladys lies is in the main channel, and has been safely crossed thousands of times hy the river steamers. It is thought that the tide was either exceptionally low, or that a log or snag had anchored there, thus causing the accident. It is fully expected that the steamer will be safely raised to-day, and she will probably reach port to-night or to-morrow morning. -• ♦ ■ e—• A Clean Sweep, A few weeks ago Messrs. Rand Bros,, of this city, purchased 160 acres of the White estate, adjoining the western boundary of tbe city, for which they paid $10,000. Since then they had the property cut into lots and properly subdivided, and yesterday it wns put on tbe market for the first time. Tbe moment the oftico opened a rush for the property was made, and before 0 o'clock last night the whole 000 lots had been Bold, Vancouver investors have taken up 200 of the lots or about 50 per cent. of the whole. The prices realized ranged from $50 to $100 per lot, clearing the owners something over $30,000 on the deal. This is. without doubt, the most successful real estate deal that has ever been consummated in Westminster, but it only goes to show the direction things are taking here, and indicates what may be expected in the near future. The News-Advertiser thiB morning says, speaking of the deal: "Although it is not usual for the News-Advertiser to advise its readers who are interested in real estate as to the manner in which they Bhould operate, the moral of this true Btory is very obvious." CORRESPONDENCE. THAT "NEW MOVE" Editor Columbian.—Sir:—You will please permit a citizen of the Royal burgh to express a few thoughts anent the lost move of the Southern Railway Company. ThiB morning's Truth announces the "New Move'7 of the company by saying that "Mr. Thomson, with the concurrence of Mr. Bennett and the other directors, detailed to a Truth reporter the facts which are given below" and then follows a very carefully prepared programme of questions and answers, setting forth in a rather mystical manner the intentions and wants of the company with regard to their former and future connection with Westminster. Truth's reporter is prompted to ask certain questions and receives certain answers, and altogether Ib, no doubt, in the confidence of this faithless Southern Railway Company, (I say faithless company, because it.bas never once kept either the spirit or the letter of any agreement or understanding entered iuto with this city.} Now, without entering into tho merits or demerits of this faithless and terribly expensive company's transactions with this city, allow me to call the attention of every citizen of Westminster to the fact that in consequence of the total failure of the company to keep any agreement with the Council of Westminster, the council and people of this city are now free from any obligations to said company, and, if ever the citizens of New WeBtminBter allow ahe corporation to have anything to do with thiB said Railroad Company in future, then every such citizen should be drowned in the depths of the Fraser. Let us now turn all our attention to the bridging of the river, so that the bono and sinew of the district may have free and uninterrupted communication with this city, and let the U, R, Co. go to Jbbrico. When a good thing is going the genial 'Mtkey" generally manages to be with the crowd, and it Ib, therefore, not surprising to And that J, A. Hcaly &Co., yesterday secured a few of the lots in the Western Addition to the City of Now Westminster, whioh they propose to offer their friends to-day in the same manner and with tho like celerity that one ia accustomed to associate with the proverbial "hot cakes."-News-Advertiser.

Ladies' new Lace, beaded, Chenille Visltes and Boas, just opened at James Ellard & Co's. Ho Mill Company, Limited," under a leaso dated 30th November, 1805. t This lease reserved the right of preemption to bona fide settlers upon the written sanction of the Governor and Superintendent of the Company. Sanction to pre-empt was granted to Mr. S. Preston on 3rd April, 1873, and a pre-emption record was issued to him, numbered 1,003, and dated 14th April, 1873. No evidence has been produced to show that PreBtori ever occupied the claim, as provided by the Land Laws, On the contrary, tbe sworn evidence taken by the Select Committee appointed by the Legislature in 1885 proves that be never legally occupied it, e. g., 1st. S. Greer, being examined, says "At the time that Spinks* claim was applied for, it (Preston's claim) was open lor pre-emption according to the Land Laws of British Columbia" (Journals 1885, p. ix,), which is an admission that it was not legally held by Preston. 2nd. R. H.Alexander, giving evidence touching the claims of Preston and others, says "None of these ever took up their claims" (Journals 1885, p. xii). 3rd. J. C- Hughes says of S. Preston's claim, "It waB abandoned long ago'* (Journals 1885, p. xvii). 4th. The evidence of Mr. Mackie, Sr., shows conclusively that Preston's claim had been abandoned, and that he (Mackie) had been on the land six or seven mouths beforeGreor appeared (Journals, p. xxv'). Mr. Greer's claim has not been recognized by the Government for the following reasons, viz.: 1. S, Preston's pre-emption claim being abandoned, wus cancelled by section 7 of the "Land Amendment Act, 1882." 2. Preston had never obtained a certificate of improvement, and consequently could not legally transfer any interest he may have had (if any) to Greer or any other person. (See sec. 13, Land Act, 1871.) 3. Greer was at that time, and still is, the holder of a pre-emption claim at Chilliwack, and could not hold a second pre-emption claim at the same time legally. Mr. Greer wrote to tbe Lands and Works Department on 1st November. 1886, enclosing a cheque in payment of the purchase money due on his preemption at Chilliwack, and requested the issue of a Crown grant. In reply, Mr. Greer was informed by a letter from the Land office, dated 3rd November, 1886, that a Crown grant would be issued for his pre-emption claim upon receipt of hia original certificate of pre-emption record and certificate of iin- Srovement, ns is customary in such cases, o reply was received from Mr. Greer and so the matter now rests. 4. Putting Preston out of tbe question, the land was reserved officially from sale or settlement, and not open to preemption at, prior or subsequent to the date Greer took possession, which was in June, 1884. Iu addition to the reserve a notice was published on the 2nd May, 1884, warning all persons not to squat or otherwise deal with lands in that vicinity. Mr. Greer ignored this notice, and should have no advantage ovor law-oboying citizens, who, paying heed to it, did not seek to acquire public lauds illegally. 5. A Crown grant, including the land in question, was issued to Donald A. Smith and Richard B. Angus, on 13th February, 1886, in accordance with an agreement previously entered Into with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, Tbe inconsistency of tlie grounds upon which Mr. Greer based his claim to the land in question is apparent when it is bornein mind that he first rested such claim, say from Juno, 1864, up to Dec, 1886, not upon any rights acquired through Preston, but through a purchase from certain Indians, in evidence of which a deed was produced which was subsequently impeached and formed the Bubject of nn inquiry by Royal Coin' mission (dated 2Jth March, 1885), and pronounced by Sir M. B. Begbie, the commissioner, to be a forgery. The Indian claim failing him, Mr. Greer then Bought to acquire through Preston. With roBpect to the claim by preemption advanced hy Walls, Spinks, Greer and others, the Commissioner in his reports says: "The title of the applicants, Messrs. Walls and others, bo far as it is based, the pre-emption application 17th June, 1884, and their purchase from the alleged pre-emptor, uppeare obviouse to the following objections, among others: "1st. The land was in the Hastings Mill leasehold, and could not be pre* empted without the consent of the manager and chief commissioner, which had not been procured. "2nd. It was not 'unreserved land, having been expressly reserved by the chief commissioner, 30th May, 1884. "3rd. It was not 'unoccupied' land. Thero were two Indians and one or two white men raising crops there. "4th. Neither the attempting pre- emptor, nor any person on nis behalf, erected a single post, us required by the act, or of any kind. "5th. The alleged pre-einptor has never yet spent a night on the land, although iu his letter of application, 17th June, he alleges that ho is 'living on tho land,' •'6th, Tbe pre-emption record was at once and definitely refused. "7th, No certificate of improvement appears to havo been issued, without which no pre-emptor can convey any title, even if his pre-emption record be unimpeachable." Mr. Cunningham moved the third reading of the Vancouver City bill. Bill read a third time and passed. House went into committee of the whole on the message and bill re grant of lauds for charitable purposes. Committee rose and reported the resolution with the bill. Report adopted and the bill read a first, and second reading set for Friday. Hon. Mr. Vernon moved the second reading of the Land Registry Act. There are a number of men out surveying at the present time who are not competent to do so. The result of their work will be an inoxirlcable mass of confusion. No one can tell whether these men are possessed of sufficient knowledge to undertake the duties of surveyors, when they apply at tho ofllce. In this country our laws aro vory free and broad and this was nn instance of it. On more than one occasion it had been necessary for the Lands and Works Department to put a notice in the papers stating tho survey of certain parties would not bo accepted. Wo must guard ourselves by seeing that all. parties who undertako such work are properly qualified, Mr. Cunningham hub vory glad this question had been brought up. There bad been much annoyance sustained in tbe past, but this bill would effectually abrogate this in the future. Mr. Orr wanted to know whether this Act would effect those who were now making a living surveying, and who were not duly authorized by the Surveyor-general of the Province or by the Dominion. Hon. Mr, Vernon said the question was provided for in the bill. Hon. Mr. Beaven said there had been just as many singular surveys made by surveyors authorized by the Surveyor- general as there had been by others not so authorized. No one can tell when the lines are wrong, when half a dozen surveyors have surveyed the same site and all the lines are different. Hon. Mr.. Vernon made a few explanatory remorks of the working of the bill. Mr. Semlin related several instances of surveyors in his part of the country. Mr. Haslam said that in the present condition of British Columbia there was no positive starting point. Work that was after condemned as useless was really not the fault of the surveyors at all. Bill read a second time and committed, Mr. Mason in the chair. The debate was very interesting, and at somo stages, entertaining. Committee rose and reported the bill complete with amendments. House went into committe on tbe Railway Bill. Mr. Cunningham in the chair. Committee rose and reported progress and asked leave to sit again. Mr. Speaker drew the attention of the executive to the feeble character of the light supplied by the gas used in the House. Hon. Mr. Robson said there were many more demands on the meter than there were last yeur and the only remedy was electricity. Mr, Speaker said several of the members had been complaining that the poor light affected their eye-sight, and lie himself had felt not a little incommoded by it. House adjourned at 5:45 p.m. until 2 p. m. next day. JUST OPENED OUT.
