Yat pd bot, i i McCANN to be fully studied by the people. The Question Of Reference. The paragraph in Ald, King's letter reads as follows : - "Why do yon make no reference to the Tact that the agreement must be confirmed by the legislature ? Whyldo you omit to say that the law makes no provision for a reference to the people, and that the council had no right to take a. plebiscite on a ques- tion requiring legislative sanction? Why do you not point out that the Ontario courts have ruled against such a proceeding, and that if the council had taken the much desired tained an injunction against them | with costs ?"' The Whig has not suppressed the fact that the agreement which has been made by the city council with the railway company mist be con- firmed by the legislature. What view the house, or its municipal commit- tee, will take of the case remains to be seen. It will be important to know how the people regard the agree- ment, and in the absence of any vote, of any expression from the qualified electors, it will be interesting toknow what will be said. It may ba that the council of next year will be asked to pass a resolution in favor of the agreement, and if such a resolu- tion be passed it ean be pointed - to as an evidence of how the subject is regarded. In the absence of that mo- tion--coming from men who have just been elected, and whose choice was probably consjdered, at least to some extent, in connection with the ques- tion--it will bé diffienlt to show that the agreement has the people's ap- proval. As to the reference to the people. Ald. Mowat, and those who voted with him, did not talk about a plebiscite, Ald. Mowat moved that the agreement be referred to the rate- payers, just as the question of exemp- tion is now being referred to them by the Locomotive Works' company, the tannery company and the hosiery mill company. The contention of Ald. King ~--that there cannot be a legal refer- ence of the question to the people-- was laid before a prominent. practicing lawyer in this. city by the Whig and he said it was absurd. The legal gentleman aforesaid was asked about the case which is being cited hy cer- tain aldermen as a "justification for their proceedings," and he said it had "no direct bearing upon the point at 1580e, Still. more Ald. King did not, when the matter was before the council,say that it would be illegal to take the people's opinion. diate action was that the company had options which held only for a account, would imperil the whole thing. The idea that the people could not, in any case, be consulted, and that the attempt to do this would in- volve the serving of an injunction, with: costs against the city, is a late discovery and is advanced now with- out effect. Nor will the legislature next Febru- ary be asked to confirm the agree- ment on the ground that it repre- sented the ideas of a majority in the council only, and that there was no chance and "no provision" for an appeal to the ratepayers. Forgiving A Debt. The fourth question in Ald. hing's letter reads thus: "Are vou willing to say to your readers that any of the claims against the old street railway company were worth a cent on the dollar when the council wrote them ofi ¥ If the bonds were purchased for a few cents what were the unsecured claims worth ? Did vou ever calmly figure out for your- self what these things were worth which the council threw away with have the road lie idle and not pay taxes, or run and not pay taxes ? Did vou ever gad over the expropriation clause in the agreement ? Do _you know that it would be practically impos- sible to expropriate the road under it, and that it involves questions enough to lead another law suit all the way to the privy council in England again ¥' What were , the accounts in ques- tion ? They represented. the com- pany's proportion of removing the anow from, certain streets, traversed by the railway. The sweeper had gone over the road and raised the snow in immense hills on each side of the track. To permit of traffie, reasonably and safely, some of this snow had to be_carted away, and-it----was--an--ex- pensive undertaking. The company, in the opinion of "some people, should have paid its share of this work, as the last month the railway was oper- "Places for 96 Teachers" (one cent per womo.) 51 BROCK ST.

Henry Henzy, Brock street, died at an early hour on Friday. morning. About three weeks ago il with apoplexy, a final shock Wednesday night terminating in his death. Deceased seventh year having been born in Ire- land on March 20th, 1829. He came to Canada with his parents in 1831. The settled near Odessa and there he grew to manhood and continued to re- pide until 1801 when he retired from the fary and with his family removed to Kingston, He was married to Mar- garet, daughter of the late Robert Breden, of, Odessa, who, with three daughters, all 'at home, survive. Mr. 'Henzy was an earnest Chris- tian, one of the old-time Methodists, full of fervor and zeal, devoted to fel- lowship and communion with those who found joy in telling of the bright. ness and glory ins the Christian's path- way. He was a member of Queen street Methodist church and faithful in at, tendance at the services, both on Sun- day and week-day. His life was pure and sweet and his memory will long remain fragrant. . | One daughter is a'teacher in Rideau | school, One brother, William, lives af | Odessa and a sister, Mrs. John Irvine, | is at Vernon, B.C.

He Following | -- i NINE MONTHS IN JAIL | For Forging a Cheque--Other { Police News. | Two cases were despatched, post { haste, at the session of police court, this morning, in a period of less than five minutes. Ernest Walker, who ~ on Fridgy last, pleaded guilty to the charge of forgery, and was remanded a week for sentence, appeared Lefore | the court. Magistrate Farrell said | forgery was becoming altogether too | common a crime. There was no doubt | the prisoner had stolen the cheque and | then forged it. As he, Walker, admit- { ted his guilt, however, he was inelin- ed to 'be lenient. Walker was sentenc- { ed to nine months in the common jail. John Melville, Wellington, a 'mor- phine fiend, who has been in_I'Hotel Dieu, escaped last night, and later, being arrested for being drunk, was re- manded for eight days. There would have Leen a large audience in court had the dod been opened to the pub- lie, but the 'doings' were of such a short order, it was needless, and the crowd who waited outside, soon dis- persed when they found all was past. HE DID NOT WRITE. The Charge Not True Against Feldman. | The prisoner Feldman never wrote | any letter to a friend or confederate in Montreal, since entering the jail here, as intimated by the Montreal Gazette. Governor Corbett was asked if Feld- man was allowed to write letters, and replied that he was not. Hence no dir- ect request could have gone from the suspected burglar. Recently, Feldman's wife was here, and had a conversation with the pris- oner, but it was in the presence of Police Constable - Timmerman, so she could not have been given a message concerning the "jimmy" at the time. part in the burglary, of course, she could have taken steps to trv and get the blacksmith to forget about mak- ing the "jimmy" for her husband. Many Ballots To Be Marked. Thirty-one} thousand ballots have been printed for the munitipal elec- tions and by-laws on Monday. In Frontenac ward, the property owners will receive no less than seven bal lots, four for by-laws, one for mayor, one for alderman, and one for school trustee. In the other wards, six bal- lots will be issued, as there are no school trustee elections in them. Elec tors should prepare themselves for the ordeal of marking so many ballots.

The children of Queen Street Metho- evening, in the school room of the spread was set to tempt the healthy the church. What child would not enjoy his or herself, when allowed full freedom with good things to eat. Supper over, the children had a short time for play, at eight o'clock the programme commenced, of which E. W. Skinner, superintendent of the school, was the able chairman. Quite a number of grown-ups were' ini at tendance to applaud the worthy ei- forts of the Wyoungsters. The follow- ing was the ertertainment feature of the cvening, given solely by the chil dren : Recitation, Courtland Elliott; chorus, six little girls; recitation, Irene Hoag; recitation, Russell Clarke; reading, lena Asselstine; solo. Al berta Perry; recitation, Mildred Wormwith; solo, Ruth Brough: recita- tion, Florence. Elliott; solo, May Hinckley. At the conclusion, the children parted for their de hdme after a very First Baptist Sunday School. The annual Christmas entettainment in the Sunday school hall of the First Baptist church, last evening, was a gratifying success. There was a large number present. The bright = pro gramme provided by the pupils was much enjoyed. The {rees were beau tiful. There was a small tree, héavily laden with choice little presents for the cradleroll department. Many of the little tots were present, and were greatly delighted. In addition to the many presents, some fifty or sixty volumes of carefully * selected books were presented as prizes for regu- larity in attendance, and diligence in the study of the scriptures. A bag of candy was then presonted to each scholar, and all felt old "Santa" had been very good. . A Happy Gathering. Instilling in the children that it is more blessed to give than to receive was a feature of the Christmas tree at Bethel church, last night. Each of the members of the Sunday school, took apples or potatoes, filling two huge baskets for the poor, or a china cup and saucer for the church, when they went to receive their holiday re- membrances. The church was filled to the doors with the children, their parents and friends, A very entertaining pro- gramme was given by the little boys and girls, of which John Veale was master of ceremonies. The pastor, Rev. G. A. Mackenzie, and George Mills made short speeches and excellent re- citations were given by Noel Knapp, Millie and Alfred Cutts, Willie Mae kenzie, Ross. and Gordon Hamilton, Oliver Tidman, Hazel Lake, McCartney and May Shepherd. The in- fant classes rendered several choruses and songs were sung by E. Percy, Oliver and Rupert Tidman. After the short concert, were taken from a huge, beautifully decorated tree. Each child received a present and a bag of candy and fruit. Must Get Majority Vote. Although Messrs. Ter have ann as aldermanic candidates in St. rence 'ward, their names will appear on the ballot paper, and it will be neces. sary for the other three candidates, Messrs, Carson, Elliott andl Givens, to receive a majority vote, so that the ratepayers of that ward will have to give the last three named a goodly number of votes, ' The Montrea.
