Rowell, pleading wefore chiel justice Meredith, this morning, in chambers, reviewed the lection proceedings at Mitchell and appealed against the decision of judge Barron, usscating mayor Lamp bell and 3. KR Stewarts, Alfred Blowes and lsaac Hord, councillors. These were unseated and a new election was ordered because at the time of their election they were members of the citi- zens' municipal league which was pro- secuting a suit against the corpora tion to quash a by-law closing a street for the purpose ul enlarging a racing track. 1The suit was not for ther personal benefit, but the judge held ihat it came under the clause prevent: ing any man from offering for puplic office who has a claim against the cor poration. 'ihe case is proceeding this afternoon. . A question fivolving the jurisdiction of a police magistrate to hear a case against aa elector, charged with vot ing more than once, came up at Us goode Hall, 'this morning, in connec tion with the recent ¥t. Thomas elec tion. Alired Turner charged P. Mee han with voting three: times and ap plied to magistrate Glynn jor a war- rant or a summons. against Meehan. The magistrate refused to accept the information or issue a summons on the ground that he had no jurisdictiog under the code. Mr. Helmuth, this morning, appeared before the division- al court and asked for an order to compel the police magistrate to ap- pear and show cause why be did entertain the complaint. The was granted. ) *. y t order ee WANDERED FIVE YEARS. Minister Mourned As Dead, Heard From. Danielson, Conn., Feb, A disap- pearance which has been shrouded in mystery for five years, has just been solved by the receipt of a letter, writ Is i Edward A. Waldo, formerly pastor of the University settlement in New York city, In the letter Mr. Waldo gives only slight details of his five vears' wandering. The missive gives evi: dence of the mental stress under which the man has been laboring. Simon 8. Waldo, father of the min ister, is a prominent business man here. He and his wife have mourned their son as dead. Their joy was great when they received the letter written inthe well-known: hand. The Rev. Mr. Waldo disappeared July 13th, I896. He leit the church in New York and disappeared as though the earth had swallowed him. Detectives employed by the family fail- ed to locate him. The minister is thirty-eight vears old and was educat- ed at Andover, George B. Waldo, well known New York artist, has start- ed for San Francisco to bring his bro- ther home. MERCHANT DEAD. D. D.

He was one of the proprietors of the Cornwall broom factory. His widow and one son survive him. CAPTURED MARIAS. CORNWALL - i. A Leader Of The Boers Pulled In, Matjesfontein, Cape Colony, Feb.

Albany Joursal oF A physiaan of Springfield, Mass, fir. A. U. Squier, takes a view of ap pendicitis that dibers © ally irom ihe one that is believed to be held by the majority of practitioners. In a paper which read betore the East- {ern Hampden medical society a lew {days ago be e the assertion that { trom experience i observation ex- tending over twenty years he had de duced the opizion that of all persons attacked by appendicitis, eighty .per cent. will recover without an opera- sion, while the other twenty per cent will die, whether an operation is per- ! jormed or not. In short, his belief is that the performance of an opera: tion makes no material difference in the result of a casey of appendicitis, unless it be that a patient may die from the operation who would not bave died from the disease. As Dr. Squier is a specialist in di- soases of the stomach and bowels, and has reached his conclusions only aiter long experienge and observation his opinion is 'of importance. There are some practitioners who have not look- wd with favor upon operations for the | removal of the vermiform appendix {at any time, but who have advised an operation when there scemed to be a certainty that the patient would die from the disease, as in such cases the operation would have no worse result than the disease, while possibly it might have a favorable outcome. In some such cases recovery followed the operation. Other doctors insist an operation be performed: even when | the attack is mild in order to prevent | recurrence. Some of the patients in whose cases this course was pursued died. } i physician who consistently advises against operation in all cases is like ly to make as good a record in the treatment of the disease as either the | one who would always operate, or the | one who would sometimes operate and | sometimes not. He has at least the { advantage that he does not run the { visk of killing a patient with an oper- | ation. | Dr. Squier's opinion will doubtless | evoke a great deal of discussion as I'soon as it becomes generally known to | members of the profession, and there will be the customary ' disagreement { mong thum over it. i FORTUNE-TELLING IN RUSSIA. | The Two Ways Of Consulting The | Fates. | A Russian writer, Miss Kondacheff, {tells in the February St. Nicholas { two wavs of consulting the [ates : It might perhaps interest the read {ers of this magizine to hear some- ! thing about "iate-reaaing" in Russia, | this snowy land still so full of eastern lore, customs, and traditions.

Montreal, Feb. 7.--James Brebner, for many years registrar of Torosto university, is in the city to-day, in connection with the offer made to him to accept a similar position for Me Gill university. Mr. Brebner told 'a reporter that he would likely accept the position and admitted that he was here in that connection. It is officially announced that R. S. Logan, vice-president and general manager of the Central Vermont rail- way, has resigned to accept the posi- tion of assistant to the second vice president and general manager of the G. T. R. E. G. Pitzhugh succeeds Ms. Logan, 'as vice-president and general manager of the Central Vermont. This is a reversion to the order of things which existed prior to the departure of Messrs. Hays and Fitzhugh to join the Southern Pacific. FRENCH wolle -- Demand More Rights, Especially To Their Own Names. Loadon Standard's Paris Message. : The champions of women's rights have in recengy vems gained very ap preciable advantages for their sex. Women not only attend the lectures at the various faculties at the um- versity, but many of them have taken the degree of doctor of medicine, and Here San ove has been admitted to | practice at. the bar. They in saficiently large numbers, at the academy of finé arts, and, as was stated in the Standard a fow days ago, the question is debated as to whether they should not be placed on an equal footing with men in the compe ition for the Prix de Rome. Though it is quite possible to ap prove all these measures, it is diffi- cult not to pronounce against the de mand formulated the other day in a resolution adopted at one of the sit tings of the women's suffrage society, held at the town hall of the Eleventh district of Paris. Jt is to the effect that it is prejudicial to a woman's in- terest to lose her name by marriage { and to be obliged to adopt that of | her husband. B The moving spirit of this society is Mme. Hubertine Auclert. In conver | sation with a journalist, who did not quite share her opinion on the sub- | ject, she doclared it was deeply hu | mi inating for a woman to have, on her wedding day, to become so com | pletely the property of her husband as to forget her own origin. By the present order of things a wife was constrained to forget her ancestors, though to honor them was admittedly a virtue and a duty. Though the meeting, was néarly unanimous in fa vor of a married woman eontinuing to bear hor own family name after marriage, even the supporters of this ";eform" could not agree as to the name to be borne by the children. Some supported the idea of giving the name of both the father and the mother to the offspring. That would do for the first generation; but it | might be embarrussing later on, as at the second generation a person | would have four names, and at the fifth generation, a child would inherit | no fewer than thirty-two surnames, | not to speak of the christian names | the parents might think fit to confer { upon it. That solution being regard {ed as too embarrassing, the choice | seemed to be limited to the name of | either the father or mother. Without | pronouncing definitely on that mat Iter, it is, perhaps, only natural that the members of this women's suffrage | society should have shown marked | preierence for that of the mother. | They argued that it was impossible | to deny that a child was more a part of a wife than of a husband. also, study Put New Plates On The Boat.
