Bloomfield was attacked by her, and for a while there was a fierce struggle.

She is about thirty and of prejiossessing appearance. Mrs. Alexandria walked into the waiting room shortly afior nightfall. Bhe was faultlessly attired, and her appearance in the station at that hour caused a small sensation among the railroad men at that time presant. She sat aubely in the wait- ing room several hours, and then was woes: going to a vacant shed across tha tracks. Their suspicions aroused, the men followed, and found her stretched on the ground, where sha ovidently in- tended to spond the night. She was taken back to the station, On a side track stood a long freight train and in the caboose the conduc tor was whiling away the hours of waiting by playing a banjo.

Business Considered at Thursday's Session. From Our Own Cofrespondent. Ottawa, Feb. 5.--The first division of the session took place, yesterday, and gave the government a majority of forty-two. This will probably be slightly incréased during the session. Mr. Verville, the labor member ' for Maisonneuve, voted with the govern- ment. The division took place on the re solution of Dr. Reid, of Grenville, who wantod tenders for departmental work to be opened in public. This was fully discussod last week, when the government's objection to this proce dure was that the presence of contrae- tors at' the opening of tenders might lead to low tenderers withdrawing and colliding with high tenderers. Accord- ingly, tho resolution was voted down, and tenders will be opened by two par- tics named by the minister, one. of them being the deputy minister. Sir Wilirid Laurier read a dispatch from the Earl of Crewe in connection with the waterways treaty which said that there scemed to be some misun- derstanding as to the presentation of tho treaty to the dominion parliament. He points out that the relations be- tween the parliament of Canada and the government of Canada are per- fectly analagous to those between the imperial parliament and the king. In respect to the U. BS. senate treaties must be ratified by that body, hence their publication in that country be- fore in Canada or Great Britain, Considerable disenssion arose Mr. Bickerdike's amendment to the eriminal corte which reads : "Everyone is guilty of a indictable offence and liable to three years' imprisonment and to be whipped, who assaults his wife or other female and thareby ocea- sions actual bodily harm." While the amendment. is held over on a technical- ity there is no doubt that it will Favorable comment on punish- nent by the lash was made by speak- ers on both sides of the house. W. D. Staples, of Macdonald, wad informed by the minister ways that the government yot decided on a successor Mr. Greonwa on the board of rail- way commissioners. The government had reeeived recommendations from various public bodies recommending the appointment of a practical farmer to the position, but it is not in the public intrest at presont to announce the name of the man most recommend ed for the vacancy. In reply to a question Armstrong, over Man., of rail- had not to the late E. said by J. postmaster-general that so far as the departmont was aware Canadian government did not pay more for rural mail boxes than is paid by the government of the United States. PIGTON'S POOR ONES THE COUNCIL (L. LOOKING AF. TER MANY FAMILIES. Wood is Provided and An Amuse- ment Room Opened--Several Pajnful Accidents Reported-- Winter Races. Picton, Feb, 5.--The town's poor and unemployed problem just about now can be pretty well summed up by say- ing that the corporation is playing the role of "mother and father" to some thirty families, mostly of the immigrant class, Work is just about as scarce as the much-quoted hens teeth. The Y's as a consequence, are working "'overtime" this winter. To help alleviate any suffering, a soup kitchen has been opened up on the bridge, and here, daily, fully an hun- dred women and children flock for their free bowl of steaming -hot broth and bread. The men have to pay five cents a bowl for what 'they get. How- ever, the men are receiving some at- tention. Realizing that there is very little home attraction to the places they call "home," and rather than have them under the temptation of the barrooms, the Y's have thrown open the soup kitchen at nights for the men as a reading-room. Provi- sion is also made for playing games. The town fathers have granted the Y's $100 for their work. The council bas also, through the park committee, made provision for the poor to get wood. On Tuesdays and Fridays Reeve Redmond will be at the park, and unemployed may cut what wood they need. Word has been received by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Minaker, Port Traverse, that their son, Hamilton, who lives at Fureka, Cal,, was seriously injured. A bit of machinery flew in the shop where he was working, and cut his left eye, so that it had'to be re- moved. Township, Clerk Levi Williams, North Marysburg, was the victim of a pain- ful accident. While in his barn at dusk, he fell through a trap door to the lower stable; and fractured his shoulder-blade. News has come that Charles Arthur, a native of Consecon, who has been residing with his son, George, in Con- neaut, Ohio, and had been in ill health for some time, passed away last week. | A bigger crowd | races than on Wednesday | and fast characterized the sec- lond matinee of the winter race meet, | which finished here yesterday after- | noon.

Spokane, Wash., Feb. 5.--Frederick Dewart, chairman of the legisla- tive committee of the Spokane Cham- her of Commerce, to which body has been referred the matter of investiga- ting the advisavility of removing the tarifi on coal from Canada, reports that this will mean a saving of from $60,000 to $75,000 a year to. Spo- kane. He said in the course of an in- terview to-day : "The removal of duty on coal from Canada would not affect the condition of laborers in the mines in Western Washington because the removal of the duty would not in¢rease the com- petition of Canadian coal against the coal mined in this state. The coal from the Crow's Nest section is al most entirely steam coal; a small pdr cent. is used for domestic purposes. The coal used for domestic purposes in Spokane comes from Wyoming, and a small portion of The Canadian coal is of a different formation, and of a character which makes it superior to anything mined in Wyoming or Montana, for steam purposes, so that it is the logical manufacturing fuel for Spokane. "Operators of coal mines in Mon- tana are opposed to taking the duty off coal for fear the mines at Leth- bridge will further encroach upén their territory. The fact is_ that the coal mined at Lethbridge is largely sold in Canada, and some little of it in Great Falls, Mont. While there has always been a market in. Spokane for all the Lethbridge coal that could be produced, the Spokane agents have been able to secure but a io cars, 50 that the Montana operators of mines have nothing to fehr in consequence of the duty being taken off a from the north."
