LouisVH.I.E, Ky., June 2.—-At 10:45 last night St. Louis cemetery, a place notorious for being dark and gloomy, was the scene of the first duel fought in Kentucky for many long years. The partieB to tlie affair of honor were Titos. Overby, an advertising agent, who has been here only a fow months, and Chas. Sanders, a travelling man forau Evang- villo clothing house. Sanders is engaged to be married to Miss Emma Hollar, a handsomo young lady of Evans- villo, who is now visiting tliis city. Upon coming to see the young lady, Sanders discovered that Overby bad supplanted him in her affections. A quarrel was followed by a fight in which Sanders was beaten. The men afterwards met at the Alexander Hotel and resumed thu quarrel and finally decided to settle the affair according to code. Overby was represented by Frank Lut- trel, a young man who lives in Indianapolis, while a travelling man from Cincinnati named Harvey Thomas acted as second for Sanders, accompanied by a medical student named James White, who acted as surgeon, and a reporter of the Courier Journal. The party secured a carnage and drove to St. Louis cemetery in the suburbs. The principals took position armed with 32 calibre Smith A Wesson revolvers, twenty paces apart. It was too dark to see the men plainly except at a tihnrt distance, but they both displayed ijru.it coolness. The seconds took ■<' lcir respective positions, after urriii! .'_■ that the firing should begin when (lie uumbersone, two, three, had been counted. As the last number was called by the physician, who did the counting, a blaze of fire flashed from the muzzle.) of both pistols, and before one could sec whether or not either man was wounded, four more reports rang out and Sanders staggered up to a tombstone near him and supported himself. Dr. White hastily examined him and found that one bullet had penetrated the right breast near the top of the shoulder, while another had made a slight flesh wound in the left ami; he had fired two Bhots while Overby had fired three, The man's wounds were dressed as quickly as possible and he was placed in the carriage and taken to New Albany, Ind., where he took the tlrst train for his home in Evansville. The ot>or participants in the affair all left the city. Sanders' wounds are not considered fatal. ELECTION^ CARD. To the Electors of New Westminster City and District.

Sax Fbancisco, June 2.—The Chronicle this morning commenting ou a despatch from Ottawa stating that in view of the large amount of smuggling along the frontier from Montana and North Dakota and the quantity of timber stolen form the forests of Manitoba, the Canadian Government has Ordered the whole frontier from the Rocky Mountains to Manitoba to be patrolled by mounted police, of whom, 800 will be detailed, and that these patrols will also prevent Canadian Indians from crossing into the United States on horse-stealing expeditions, says: "This will be a pretty expensive force for Canada to maintain, and when winter comes it will be next to impossible for them to do their duty. Probably the maintenance of this frontier patrol may operate to hasten the union of Canada and the United States. The Canadians ought to be able in a short time to see the supreme folly of keeping a littlo army of mounted men on the frontier when, by the simplest of all methods the frontier might be obliterated aud both countries be under one flag and one government." That Was Wiggins. Ottawa, May 81.—Prof. Wiggins says Italy may be shaken to its very centre by an earthquake during the present summer. The earthquake in Armenia three days ago was caused, he says, by the same force that shook up Queen Charlotte Island. The planets are in nearly the same position as they were in A. D. 70, when Pompeii was overwhelmed by ashes and lava from Vesuvius. Murderous Cobbler. San Fbancisco, May 31.—Jas. Hynes, a shoemaker, attempted to kill John Douohue in the latter's butcher shop last night; Hynes cut through Donohue's coat, vest and undercothing with a shoemaker's knife. Unknown. San Fbancisco, May 81.—An unknown man was brought to the hospital lust- night. He died later in the night. The only clue to his identity was some letters found on his person, addressed to Michael Morse. The Heath of Heroes. Fobt Worth, Texas, May 31.—Up to noon only two deaths had resulted from last night's Are. The deaths were caused by the jumping of men from the windows at Spring Palace after they had saved many women and children. Governor of Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., May 31.—Shortly before noon to-day, Jones, of Montgomery, was nominated for Governor on the thirty-fourth. All the anti-Kolb men united on him. OFFER FOR SALE : Choice Business and Residence Property in the Oity and Suburbs. Some fine pieces of Acreage just outside city limits. Building Lots and Acreage in Sapperton and Brownsville.

Globb, June 2.—A distressing accident happened at Wheatflelds, twelve miles north of Globe, shortly after noon yesterday, resulting in the death ,<j>f Jerry Ryan, sheriff of Gila County, qjid: Miss Mary Frush. They were members of a picnicking party from Globe. Miss Frush and Addison Simmonds went boating on the Lake in a frail craft which capsized. Sheriff Ryan and W. Middleton went to tho rescue and Ryan reached Mibb Frush, but got entangled in tho weeds and both were drowned. Middleton tried hard to save them, but was himself pulled under, and reached shore exhausted. Simmonds clung to the boat until rescued. The bodies wero recovered after being in the water half an hour aud were brought to Globe. Ryan Ib the third sheriff of Gila county who hus met death while in office. The Aftermath. San Fbancisco, June 2.—The funerals of Mrs. Bryan O'Connor, Martin Kelly and the Kearns sisters, all victims of the railroad accident nt Oakland on Friday laat, took place this morning and were largely attended. Among the Heathea. Providence, R. I., June 2.—The first day of the enforcement of the Sunday law, resulted in the closing yesterday of all baker shops, groceries, meat shops, news and cigar stands. Pert I mid Wins. Portland, Or., Juno 2.—The baseball match—Spokanes vs. Portlands resulted in a score of 7 to 6 in favor of the Portlands. Arctic Encroachment).. New Yobk, June 2.—The schooner Hindoo, which arrived to-day from Hull, reports that on May 27 in lat. 40.60 miiis., and long. GO, 28, she passed an iceberg 170 feet high and about 150 feet long. This berg is in a lower latitude than any heretofore reported; it is south of what is given by hydrographlc oflieers as a safe steamer route on the last pilot chart. An idea of how far south ice in the north Atlantic extends can be gleaned by considering that this great mass of ice was in about the latitude of New York. Tlie Press and Citizens are Right. Helena, Mont., June, 2.—The Board of Pardons has refused to endorse Governor Toole's pardon for John A. Row laud. Rowland, who is a member of a distinguished Quebec family came to Butte six years ago. In April, 1888, while engaged in a drunken row In a saloon with the barkeeper, he fired at him and killed Joseph Bussiero, a bystander; Rowland was tried for the murder, con- vtcted and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Sir John A. Macdonald of Quebec and Sir Julian Paunceforte the British minister have been active in securing pardon for him and Secretary Blaine asked for pardon as an act of international courtesy. The press and citizens of Butte vigorously opposed this because is was a most brutal murder, It is said the case will now be carried to President Harrison. COBRESPONDENCE. SYMPATHIZING AND POUTS.

Chairman Cooley, of the interstate commerce commission, presided. The report of the committee on legislation said the lack of uniformity in railway legislation was due first to the want of harmony between congress and the state legislatures; second, to want of harmony in the legislation of the different states. The report recommended that the main features of the interstate commerce law be made part of the laws of the different states, and that laws be enacted by congress securing uniformity iu tho various details of railroad equipment and management, with n view to greater safety. A public statement compiled by the interstate commerce commission showed that during the year ending June 30, 1880, there were killed on the railroads of the United States 5,823 people and 26,309 injured. Of the number killed, 1,072 were employees, 310 passengers and 3,541 denominated "other persons;" of the injured, 20,028 were employees, 2,140 passengers and 4,135 other persons. The number of railroad employees in the United States was given as 704,730. Ladner, Mr. and Miss Calhoun, T Tingley, J. Kirkland, Mr. and Miss Sotherby, M. Antoinc.

He is acting as the representative of a syndicate of American capitalists who wish to enter into negotiations with the Russian government in regard to the building of a great Siberian railroad from European Russia to the Pacific ocean. General Butter- field has had several interviews with General AnnenkofT, builder of the trans- Asiatic road which now runs beyond Merv and though the press and many officials aro opposed to tho idea of a road being built by foreign capital the Czar himself is said to be favorable to it. Aiinunkoff is noon to visit Paris and it is suid that he will also go to the United States on a mission connected with tho projected railroad. The English newspapers aro at present engaged in pooh poohiug the scheme, but there is no doubt that if the rail road Is ouco built acroBs from the Oural mountains to the Pacific the development uud prosperity of Siberia and Northern Central Asia will he immensely advanced. Supplies for tha Indians. Washinoton, May 31.—The government is just now letting its contracts for supplies for Indians on the reservations for the coming year. It is a big job, involving the expenditure of many millions of dollars. Large sums are, of course, to be expended at the Indian schools of the various places throughout the east, and in some Instances the material purchased is iu open market, but the greater proportion of the cost goes for supplies, rations, agricultural implements, blankets and the like, for the reservations. After two or three davs devoted to tho examination of bids, the contracts were to-day awarded for the beef, which under the law and treaties Is to be divided among the Indians iu the coming year, Tho total grosa quantity purchased is 34,505,000 pounds, at an aggregate cost of $880,031, lor the rate of $2.57>ii per 100 ll'B. on the hoof. This is an increase over the average price of last year by 8}ii per cent. The increase is due not to the high price in the market fur beef on the hoof, but to the additional condition imposed on purchasers by the government iu an effort to protect the Indian from getting swindled out of a part of his treaty rights. The Oakland Smash-Up. Oakland, Cal., May Sl.-Tho first report heard this morning was that 3 more bodies had been recovered from the estuary, but the morgue officers promptly announced that there was no truth iu the story. Mingled with the comment, to-day there is a good deal of criticism of the company, ana it is said that it should maintain a better warning signal than a simple red Hag, and that a similar accident nearly happened a while ago because the wind blew the fiaglii such a direction that the engineer could nee only the stick and not tho flag. The engineer and firemen have not yet beon found, but there seems to be some cause to believe the charge that the engineer was drunk is trtie. Many railroad train men contradict the statement that Engineer Dunn was a drinking man. He had been an engineer for years uud was considered an experienced employee The opinion that seems to be generally held hy railroad men is that Dunn saw that the bridge was open aud was quite well awaro of the danger, but calculated tbat tho draw would be closed by the time he got there. It seems that engineers have been in the habit of doing this, only they calculated their speed and distance lietter than Dunn did. Westmlnstor Kowli'ifr Oluli, The meeting of the Westminster Rowing Club on Saturday night in the City Hall was not, as far as numbers go, a success. About twelve boating enthusiasts occupied the vacant chairs of the worthy aldermen, and the adjacent benches, and Mayor Brown kindly consented to act ns chairman. Mr. L. P. Eckstein, secretary of the Club, read the report of the committee appointed to enquire regarding pricos of boats and probable expenditures, also a number of communications from City boat-builders und the captains of clubs in the neighboring cities. Mr. F. G. Walker, who was present, said from appearances itseemedasif the club were boing got up for the purpose of buying a bout and boat-house for four oarsmen to practice racing, and he did not think the public of Westminster would support an institution of that kind. Thero ought to ho a considerable number of pleasure boats for the ordinary members of the club, besides the racing craft for those who wore training for races. He did not think it possible to start and maintain a boating club iu this city under any othor conditions. People were not going lo pay tlieir money merely to see four oarsmen practicing in a shell; they wanted to row themselves and get some exercise, recreation and general benefit out of the club. Tho chairman was also of opinion tbat tho chili would have to bo popular- ised by the addition of a number pleasure boats before it could he to pay its own way. Mr. 0. K. ley explained that there ef made Tow n- 10 vol' :my- hiid hmm any intention to do thing else; the racing part the club would bean adjunct and was a usual feature in all rowing clubs, and although it might appear to boa littlo expensive at first would be of great benefit to tho club in every way. Westminster should be represented on tho water and at thu provincial regattas by hmm fide amateur oarsmen. The celebrity which tho four would bring upon the club would servo to popularise it and induce people to join who would have nothing to do with a more boating institution. Other gentlemen argued on tlie same line. Mr. Eckstein proposed appointing a committee to go ..round and solicit subscriptions from the citizens. A committeo wub accordingly appointed as follows: Messrs, Port, Sloan, Thompson, McKenzle and Clinton. The chairman proposed that the committeo should make tho tormB fifty cents entrance feo aud $10 per annum: the fifty centB to be paid at once and tho $10 at somo future time. With 50 . ubscribers the chairman thought this would put the club on a paylug basis at once. This proposition waa objected to on tho ground that mnuy would be ready enough lo pay tho fifty rents, but when it came to tbo *)U) it would ho another tiling. The committeo will, however, intoiviow the public and lay before thom a well-matured scheme that will no doubt meet with the public's approval. The mooting dispersed shortly after nine o'clock to moot again this'week. He i'(.iin<i. Compl«hi, San Fiiancisco, June 2.—A. S. Mcn- imu Pooley „ in, the opposition candidate, has excellent prospects for election. The farmers and resident electors will givo him a gener- oua support. The voter's list contains the names of about 150 absentees and dead men, and it ia difficult to form an estimate of the voting strength of the several candidates; but this fact is generally admitted, Mr. Higgins' former majority is at present absent from the country, They were railway and dry- dock employee's.—Times of Saturday. All of tbe District candidates, with the exception of Hon. John Robson, that is, eight of thom, to wit, Messrs. Kitchen, Punch, Sword, Kirkland, Henderson, Capt. Thompson, Herring and Sinclair, loft this morning, from this city and various places along the river, fnr Chilliwack, their first place of ren- lozvous oit.their ton days' tour of the District. A public meeting was to be held at Ccntroville on the arrival of the steamer there, and another meeting at gumas this evening at 8 o'clock. A pecial correspondent of The Columbian ccompanies the expedition so that our eaders will be kept informed of its progress and doings. By a special notice in the local columns it will be seen tbat Mr. Brown'B big meeting will tako place to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, in tiie Opera House. Mr. Cunningham is invited to bo present, and will, of course, have an opportunity to speak after Mr. Brown. This will lie Mr, Brown's first opportunity to address a mooting of his own since the opening of tho campaign. He may, therefore be expected to touch upon all the principal phases of tho provincial political situation. Politics is tho engrossing subject just now, and nn overflowing meeting may be expected. Mayor Brown's canvass is progressing most favorably. It is only a question uf rolling up a good rousing majority, and this object is of sufficient importance to stimulate everyone who is on the right sido to the most enthusiastic efforts. One of tho busiest men in the city at tlie present timo is Mr. W. B. Townsend; he is leaving no stone unturned that may do any good at election time. Mr. Marshall Sinclair's tall graceful figure may bo noted at all hours of the day In all parts of tho citv holding earnest converse with men of all shades of opinion. His theme just iiow is politics and plenty of it. Hon.

Tiie Vancouver World, which wo have caught and exposed in deliberate and wicked attempts nt misrepresentation since the opening of the present campaign, endeavors to retaliate in a feeble lie way in its issue of Saturday, by laying two charges against this paper, The first is that The Com. soman did not give a sufficiently full or particular report of the Premier's speech at Brownsville ou nomination day. Tho second iB that The Columbian had copied an item from the Newa-Adcertiter laBt week, to tho effect that Hou. John Robson had paid a visit to Alderman Home's committee rooms ou Wednesday laat, but that wo had not copied the paragraph In the World contradicting the New's statement. We shall have not the slightest trouble in refuting both of the World's unjust imputations that The Coi.umi.ian has resorted to unfairness in the instances mentioned, and casting the same in its teeth. In the first place, our Vancouver cotemporary ia probably comparing our report of Hon. Mr. Robson's hustings speech with its own, but the World will note tbat- our report of the nomination speeches was published on the evening (Friday) of the same afternoon on which the nominations took place (and was, therefore, necessarily as brief as possible), while tho World did not print its report of the same proceedings, until twenty-four hours later (Saturday evening). We devoted nearly three columns to the City and District nominations on the day mentioned, and the hustings addresses of the City candidates being obtainable earlier iu the afternoon, had more space accorded them. If the World will examine -our report of the District candidates' speeches, it .will see that considerable more space is devoted to Mr. Robson's speech than to any of the other candidates'. Our report of tho nominations and the speeches could not possibly have beeu any longer than it was, under the circumstances. As it was, the paper was rather late in the evening on account of it. The World, being a kind of a newspaper, understands these practical difficulties as well as wc do, and it also knows better than to attempt to argue that we should have returned to the subject the next dny. The World't charge of unfairness against this journal towards the Premier, it will be seen, thus utterly falls to the ground upon this count, and becomes all the more absurd when a glance at our files, since we havo differed with the Premier on the redistribution question, will show that we have published his speeches and explanations very fully, both those delivered in the House and the one at this city recently, although there is a great deal of repetition in his later utterances. As to the second charge, that is, failing to publish a contradiction in the World to an item in the Newt-Advertiser, we published the first statement from the Newt as a simple item of news, having no particular significance that we could see, and certainly not reflecting injuriously (so far as wc could seo) upon either the Premier or Alderman Home. We, therefore, saw no necessity for pub- foiling the World't contradiction, more especially as the News had a counter contradiction to thnt again. And now, if our cotemporary will get its little slate—or borrow the off side of the Colonitt'» blackboard—we will give it a few examples in simple puzzleology: (1.) What possible signification (wc ask from more curiosity) can attach to the Premier's alleged visit to Alderman Home's committee rooms iu Vancouver, last week, that would make our failure to copy a contradiction of the alleged visit "very unfair?" (2.) To whom was It unfair, to the Premier, or Alderman Home? (3.) Was there anything ilicit In tho Premier making, or Alderman Home receiving, such a call? (Tho World't tenderness on the point would seem to nrgue so.) Fourthly and lastly: Doos the World expect us to accept a contradiction in its columns us true, against a statement and a counter contradiction in tho News, when the former paper (the World) has been convicted of knowingly and deliberately going out of its way to scandalously misrepresent a speech delivered in Vancouver recently by Mayor Brown, of this city; and when, instead of acknowledging its error, when called to its notice, it wrote a let. ter to itself sneakingly endeavoring to fortify what it knew to be an untruth; and when it has bo discredited itself in a general senso as to be striving, by any means, foul or fair, to return nothing but Government supporters from tho Lower Mainland, to prove tho complete acquiescence of the electors of these three constituencies lu a Government measure passed at the fag end of last session, which the World itself characterised, only a little over a month ago, aB "the foulest gerrymander scheme " ever perpetrated in any country?" Nextl mmm^mmm^_ LABOR AND ITS FUG. knew their men, and frequently would order the red' flag to be tossed among the ranks of the enemy in order to stimulate the rank and. file to desperate deeds of daring in order to recover it. The red flag of the modern democracy is usually associated with thoughts of riot, rebellion and blood spilling, but it had ita origin more probably In blood making. Ceres and Minerva, the presiding deities of labor and industry, were portrayed as wearing robes of flaming red, and the tollers adopted that hue as their sacred color. It was the symbol of their protectors among the innumerable divinities ruling over the destinies of mankind. Tyrian, red and purple thus became the emblem of the communes of the ancient world. But there came a day when the half-emancipated people were re-enslaved, and then a law waa passed making it a crime for any but nobles to use the beautiful Tyrian red. The color had kept the people hopeful, reminding them of their stolen liberties. For this reason they were deprived of the red. In Phomichi the workmen completely lost their business, so that even the secret of tho ancient colors was lost, and has never been recovered to this day. W bo can tell whether at some future time tho long lost art will be rediscovered, and it may he that the truo and beautiful Tyrian red, once the admiration of the civilized world, will yet wave abovo the heads of tho workers as it did over thoso oi their prototypes, two thousand five hundred years ago.

The work has now been brought down to 1873. Evory volume has boon carefully examined, and all the important points In regard to it Indicated in the catalogue.

"Before tbe war," said a veteran commercial traveler the other evening, "I wu traveling through the South. One day I stood on the veranda of a small town in Georgia waiting for train time. Suddenly a man dashed past me out of the hotel with a cocked revolver in one hand and a cowhide whip in the other, and rushing up to a gentlemanly-looking fellow slowly coming down the . stroet, covered him with the pistol, crying savagely: 'Fold your arms. I am going to thrash you.' "The young fellow complied, and the other began to rain blows nil over his face, neck and shoulders. The rough edges ot the strips of rawhide cut and tore the flesh and burned like hot irons. But the victim bravely stood his ground, showing only hy his pallor and involuntary twitehhigs of tho mouth and eyes the awful agony ne was suffering. Presently tho other began to tiro and eeased to strike. " 'Havo you finished now?' calmly asked the young man. " 'Yes,' sullenly growled the other. , " 'Then put up your gun.' "No sooner was the revolver restored to Its place than, quick as flash, tho young man whipped from his hip pocket a platol of large caliber and, with a look ot fierce determination, cried: •Now give me that whip and fold your arms.* "And what a thrashing he gave him," exclaimed tho drummer. "Tbe fellow cried and begged for mercy and threw hia arms to protect his face, but all in vain. The avenger cut and out until he wu tired out, thon with a swift motion he turned the whip in his hand and ■track a heavy blow on the temple wltb the heavily-loaded butt The man fell senseless to tho ground.

' toraa TO THE ELEOTORS OF New Westminster City. GENTLEMEN:—In response to a requisition, numerously signed, whioh haa been presented to me, I beg to oner myself as representative of this City in the Provincial Legislature. I frankly confess that, aside from the great question of the just distribution of legislative power, 1 would scarcely care to be a candidate. If you do me the honor to elect me I shall make that question my first consideration at all times, and In order to do this lt it essential that I keep quite free from any entangling alliances with cither Government or Opposition. But to the people and the advocacy of the rights of the people, In this matter and In all others, I can fully and freely pledge myself; and with those, be they on what side of the House they may, who are animated by a similar spirit, I will work cordially. The present crisis demands special treatment. We of the Lower Mainland are denied our Just share of legislative power, and so long aa that Is the case our true policy, In my opinion—nay, the policy which ourown self-respect compels us to adopt—Is to return no man to tho Legislature who will not make the righting of that wrong his first business. It may safely be assumed that those who shall be found willing to do right in this matter, will be the most likely to do right in others also. Notwithstanding the utmost devotion to this first question, your representative will have to deal with many other matters, and perhaps It will be sufficient now to say on this point that I believe there is room for a good deal of work before tho administration of public affairs ran claim to bo what It should lie—government bv the people for the people. I should earnestly en dcavor to do my share of that work. I believe I may safely assume that you need no assurance of my deep and abiding Interest In everything that makes for the prosperity of New Westminster City. I am, Gentlemen, Very truly yours, dsayUta 1. » BROWN. TO THE ELEOTORS —OF THE— Westminster Electoral District, GENTLEMEN :-As It Is difficult lo arrange to see each Individual elector before election day, I wish to put beforo you the platform on which I stand whilst seeking your support. Up to the introduction of the Constitution Amendment Act, I should havo supported the present Government, but I now stand independent of all parties on that measure, pledged to obtain a fair and Just Redistribution Act framed lately after the publication of the census returns; sueh act to bo based as nearly as possible upon population, the abolition of the balance of power and the division of districts Into ono member constituencies. Outside this pledge I claim the privilege of being allowed to support any legislation of u lust and beneficial nature which maybe Introduced by the Government. I will endeavor to Impress upon the Government the necessity of the utmost liberality in the expenditure for tho opening up of all agricultural districts and oven, If necessary, to borrow monoy for this purpose. The conservation ot all nubile lands for actual settlement, and the abolition of all sales of land In large areas, wlll be one of the chief objects I shall hold In view, and to also assist In the greatest amount of land being brought Into mil- being raised to as cents per acre.. It will also be my endeavor to Impress upon the Government tho absolute necessity of taking steps to assist In tbe reclamation or the large area of land subject to overflow by the Fraser, so as to render It all fit for cultivation, feeling sun that any money spent in that direction will be a good investment, as the lands will be greatly enhanced in value for assessment. From the above you wlll see I stand as a sup* porter of the Government, eicept on ont measure, and feel sure that you wlll see that as I am a resident farmer In the district onr Interests nre Identical, and I hope to be able to materially advance the interests of the district should you honor me as your representative, I am, Gentlemen, Yours Obediently, LIVINGSTON THOMPSON. ■aula Pralrli, B.C.

What Might it Have Been l While the morning local train from Vancouver was approaching that portion of Front street known aB Chinatown, a Chinaman, who, judging from the appearance of Ids outer man must have been a recent arrival from the flowery kingdom, wished to affect a singularity by stepping off the rear platform of the lust couch, thereby saving himself the trouble of u long walk from the depot to bis place of abode, Not being accustomed to jumping on and off trains while in motion John stepped off the lower step with the left foot instead of the right, touched the ground, whirled around about 'steen times in the air and landed upon the small island of hair on the top of his bead directly across tbo track. Tho well-shaken up Mongolian was not much injured, but had. he jumped from one of the front platforms of tho train there is no doubt but that we would have been obliged to chronicle the circumstances of another horrible accident.

Redmond, the famous roronaut nnd parachute jumper with McMahon'H circus, was instantly killed the other eveningat Snohomish, Wash. He made a splendid ascension, but the balloon was carried awny to the east of the town, whero it lit on a very large pine tree. Redmond wns thrown out and fell fully seventy feet, killing him instantly. Before going up be snid it was the most dangerous piece of coun trv he had ascended from, and ho bade good-bye to some friends who were with him. Many will remember Redmond's daring as- ccnt here from the circus grounds in this City last week. His ascent here was a very fine one and his feats on the bar when in mid-air about 1,000 feet wero admired by every spectator of the daring feat. His descent here was made in perfect safety and ho received a shower of congratulations on his arrival on terra jlrma. It is understood that Redmond's neck wns broken when he alighted from the tree at Snohomish.

GENTLEMEN:—I heg to announce myself ns an independent candidate for the Legislative Assembly at the coming election. As most of you nre aware, 1 flm an old resident of the District, aud largely Interested in its growth and prosperity. I am in favor of the division of the District into ridings, and shall insist upon our having ourfoir sharo of representation, according to our population and resources, in the Legislature. Asthls District contributes very largely to the revenue, It is clearly entitled to large appropriations for public works, and substantial grants to the vnrious municipalities. I am a strong advocate of n froetrafllc bridge aeross the Frasor at Brownsville, and should urge that tbo Uovernment subsidise that work, and I should also press for the construction of n bridge across tlio Pitt River. I am utterly opposed to the Immigration of Chinese, and their employment on public works of any character. I am strongly in favor of borro .ring the money necessary to develop the agricultural country by opening up roads along tho section lines. I should advocate any reasonable assistance ton railway from Hope down the south sido ol the Fraser, as such it line would give a vast impetus to the development of our District. If you do mo tbe honor to elent mc I shall do my best to advnucc our Interests in these and oilier matters, I am, Gentlemen, Yours sincerely. JAMES PUNCH.
