Criticism of the Ottawa Manage- ment of the Cobalt Lake Min- ing Concession--What Had Been Sold. Ottawa, Dec. 26.--In reference to the Cobalt mining concession, W. H. Clufi, Ottawa city's auditor, has a fetter in the Citizen, in which he criti cizes the Ottawa management and says in part: hat y office company 18 ocated in Toronto, and this must have been fully known to the trustees, although one the speakers, when asked the tated that it was not de- cided where the head office would be. It appears that $360,000 in stock has been granted, free gratis for nothing, to Sir H. M. Pellatt for his services, and that it is proposed to allot a considerable portion of the $110,000 Paid up stock to the promoters of the Ottawa syndioate for their services, although it was stattd, publicly, at a former meeting by D. J. MeDougull, M.P.P., that there was to be no pro- moters' st that everykne stood on equal terms so far as the original subscribers were concerned. It appears that these gentlemen have also kind- ly drawn up a list of directors in which Toronto, with twenty-five cent., of the capital, will have four representatives, and the Ottawa Val- ley, with seventy-fibe per cent., will hgve three, also that Sir H. M. Pel- lott, with his $360,000 of free stock, is to be president, snd another To. ronto syndicate man 'vice-president. It also appears that an office has been opened in Toronto, a full staff of offi- cals appointed, including an engineer, in fact it appears as if the twenty- five per cent. tail was wagging the seventy-five per cent. dog." --------es 14th HOCKEY TEAM.

While the performance was.going on, last night, the audience noticed smoke coming from the stage, and only the prompt action on the part of the management in having the lights turned on and announcing that every- thing was all night averted a panic. The fire did not amount. to much .and there was never any real dancer, but one ofl the stage hands was blamed for the trouble, and was discharged.

SHOT THE BRIDE MISTERIOGS SHOOT oF On Her Wedding Day--She Went to the Door When a Bullet Pierced Her Body--Her Cond dition is Quite Serious. 'Rutland, Vt., Dec.' 26--The officials of Ira, Vermont, a village, nine miles from here, have an investiga tion of the mysterious shooting of. Mrs. Mary Parker Gilmore, wife of Charles Gilmore, while she-was enter- taining friends, last night, at a re- ception. following her wedding. The young bride, hearing voices outside the house, and thinking that more guests were arriving, went to the door to welcome them. She saw a group of men a short distance from the door- way, and spoke to them, but received noreply. Suddenly, as she stood, two shots were fired at her in rapid suec- cession from the darkness, one causing a compound fracture, gf her arm, just below the right shoulder, while the other struck her - sister-induw, Mrs, Henry Gilmore, in the left shoulder. The latter's wound is not serious, but that of the bride is more serious. No effort was made at the time of shooting to pursue the assailant, but to-day the officers, acting on a state- ment made by one of the men who were outside of the house, were look- ing for Andrew Farrell, a young farmer. The weapon used is said to have been a rifle of large calibre, car- rying heavy home-made bullets. The motive for the assault is unknown. Mrs. Gilmoré is nineteen years of age, and her husband twenty. INCIDENTS OF IHE DAY, Newsy Paragraphs Picked Up By Reporters on Their Rounds. The western mail, to-day, was four or five hours' late.
