Montreal Herald. What prompted Harold G. Arthur, the young teller in-the branch of the Merchants' Bank at Kingston, to dis- appear so suddenly and completely is as much of a mystery jodasy 'as ever. . Detectives of the guarantee = com- pany that had Mr. Arthur under bond to she Merchands' bank, have not been able to discover him yet. Certain ir- regularities in the bank cannot be satisfactorily cleared without the pre- sence of the missing clerk. Inspector Patterson, who found the teller's cash to balance satisfactorily, has, never- theless, ascertained that the funds of the bank are short about $2000. « "My own opinion is that the boy is a little off his head. His cash was al' right. The only thing irregular was that thers are one or two ool lections made that have not been ac counted for as yer," said T. E. Mer rett. Mr. Merrett is superintendent 'of branches, and said that the bank had had a very good opinion of the missing teller. Health Requirements for Marriages. ew York rierald. A report irom Topeka states that the propate judges of nansas will here wlier demand ceruficates of heahb rom prospective brides and bride grooms, and that they have incorpor- ated these requirements in a bill they will have introduced: into the legisia- ture at its next session. From tleve- land comes a like report that the fed- erated churches of that city will urge similar legislation in Ohio. In lilinows the lead given to the movement by Dean Summer, of St. Paul's cathedral, has been strongly supported. Marriage is not undertaken solely for 'the propagation of the race. Some men and women marry because they love ome another, and sickness or weakness does not diminish the love. There are still a few matters in re spect to human relations in which the rights and wishes of the individual de- serve consideration. The Cement Duty.

John Vaughan and Frank W. Camp- bell had a little "spat" at the cor- ner of Queen and Wellington streets, last Tuesday afternoon, which reach- ed the police court, on Iriday morn- ing. Both were charged with fighting | on the street, rE Vaughan said "not guilty," to the charge, and added that he had just ac! in self-defence, Campbell also claimed that he was not guilty of the charge made against him. Constable James Craig, told what he knew of the matter He wus near the scene of the trouble, and noticed the two men exchanging blows, but he could not say which one of the {men bad been the cause of the trou- ble. : D. A. Givens appeared on behalf of Vaughan, and the latter, questioned about the affair, stated that Campbell had been the aggressor in the matter. He said that while he was walking along the direet, Campbell jumped off a rig, and coming up to him, said, "You are the man I am looking for." afterwards striking him: Vaughan ad- mitted that he haddused his fist then to defend himself, and to get away from his assailant. As soon as he broke away, he ran away from the scene, to save. further trouble, Campbell claimed that Vaughan had started the trouble. 'He whistled for me when 1 passing," he said, "and when 1 goflafl the rig and came up to him he siruck me." Campbell then pointed to his left eye, which was in mourning, "Can you get a witness to subetan- tiate your story," asked the magis- trate of Campbell. "1 do not know as I can," Campbell, '1 did who happened to time." The magistrate disposed of the case by dismissing the charge against Vaughan, and imposing a fine of $5 and costs upon Campbell. Peter Connors, well up in took an overdose of thursday, and early in waé put out of business. He picked out the hay loft in the barn at the Hotel Dieu for sleeping quarters, but was given a call by Constables Mul- linger and Downey, and the remainder of his sleep 'was taken at the police station. Connors wanted to be put on the "prohibited list," but he was far more eager for his liberty, so he worked the first propesition. "Put me on the list, and give me a chance," he said. "Do you mean that?" magistrate. "Yes, 1 mean it, all right." Connors thought he had worked a a "pass," all right, but he was mis taken. "I'll remand you for a day," said the court. James Devine, another tippler, also wanted to go on the list. He will have a chance to put his name on the roll. if ie so desires, but his duty to the court is to cover a fine of 33 and costs, or twenty days.

EDWARDS ANNOYED BECAUSE THE CITY CONTINUES TO COLLECT TOLL On the Cataraqui Bridge--He Tells Mayor Hogg What He Thinks of the City Council's Action. Dr. J. W. Edwards, M.P., who. only a short time ago received notice from the minister of public works at Ot- tawa that he had ordered the tolls to be removed irom Cataraqui bridge, is annoyed at the civic finghce eommit- tee because the tolls have not been taken off. The matter stands as fol lows : The city and government have ar- ranged forthe transfer of the bridge, and the city council is awaiting the completion of formalities such as the signing and forwarding to the city of the deeds of transfer. The intention of the government to remove the tolls upon taking over the bridge has been made quite clear. The finance commitiee, however, has the right to collect tolls until these for malities have been completed, and at a recent meeting it gave instructions to do so. Dr. Edwards has fought so long to bring about the transfer of the bridge to the governmefit and the removal of the tolls, was somewhat annoved hy this action on the part oi the city. He communicated, on Friday morning, with Mayor Ilodg, and gave in no un- certain terms his opinion of the finance committee's action. "Has the city any doubt," said Dr Edwards, "as to the good faith of the government in: taking over the bridge ? Do they doubt the authentie- ity of Mr. Monk's letter to me which appeared in the newspapers a short time ago? Ii they do net, why, for the sake of the last few coppers they can collect, do they issue such instruc tions ?"' "In my estimation," he continued, "it is a mighty mean piece of busi ness." The mayor has promised to call the committee together at the earliest pos- sible date 'and lay the matter before them. civie THE LATE MRS. BROPHY. An Aged Wellington Street Resident Passes Away.
