CATTLE MARKET. Market to-day, with heavy offerings of cattle, it. woulld seem that values would at least remain steady, but the demand was considerably greater than on Tues- day, hence sales were made rapidly and at good figures, indeed.

A COLD-BLOODED CRIME. , _â€" A Buffalo Man Shoots Ills Wife and Telephones for Police.- A dcspatch from Buffalo says: Frank E. Jackson walked up to the door of his house on Sunday and rapped. His wife opened the door and Jackson stepped in- side. Then he shot the woman three times, and she fell dead at his feet. Locking the door to the room in which the murder occurred, so that his little children COUld not come upon their mother's body, Jackson went to a. neigh- bor’s house and telephoned to the police that there was trouble at his house. Then he walked out to meet the officers, who were hurried over, and gave him- self up. Jackson told them: “It was either myself or her; one or the other had to go.” The police say the man had been quarreling with his wife for some time.‘ As Jackson was walking to the telephone from which he reported the killing to the police he passed his wife’s father. He bowed and continued on his way as if nothing had happened. it“ 27 IIOUSES DESTROYED. Conflagration at St. Raymondâ€"“mole Village Was Threatened. A dcspatch from Quebec says: The Parish of St. Raymond, County of Port Neuf, about thirty miles from this city, was on Wednesday afternoon visited by a conflagration which, for a time, threatened to wipe out .the village. A fire started at one end of the village about 3 pm, when three houses were destroyed and 21 horses, while this fire was still burning another fire started about half a mile further west, on the main street of the village. A detach- ment of the Quebec fire brigade was sent by special train to St. Raymond “and succeeded in controlling the fire, but. not before 21 private residences were completely destroyed. For a time great fear was anticipated for the saf- ety of the church, as the second house from the Presbytery fell a prey to the flames.

Serious Disaffection in the Czar’S“ Favorite Regiment. A dcspatch from St. Petersburg says: sars are even dearer to him than wasi‘ What technically was a mutiny, close- ly resembling the mutiny of the Preo- braiensky Regiment just before the dis- solution of the Duma last year, has occurred in the ranks of the Life Hus- sars, better known as the “Red Hus: sars," at Tsarskoe-Selo. The existence of serious disaffection came to light when Colonel Molostvoff, commanding the regiment, ordered the punishment of several soldiers, but the other soldiers refused to inflict it. They also refused to shout the usual saluta- tfon to the commander on parade. The upshot of the affair was the ar- rest on Monday at Tsarskoe-Selo of the commander of the “Red I-Iu-ssars," General Petrovo Solovo, aide-de-camp to and personal friend of the Czar. The General was conveyed to St. Peters- burg and placed under domiciliary ar- rest in the Winter Palace. The fourth Squadron of the regiment has been deprived of the privilege of carrying the regimental colors. All the officers have been arrested, and the regiment will probably be transferred to Mctviet, where the Japanese prisoners lived, and where the Preobrajensky Regiment. was sent last year by way cf punishment. A series of courts-martial will follow in due course. From personal investigations it is concluded that the mutiny was not caus- ed by direct political agitation, but was the result of the loosening of all the hands of discipline due to the present long-drawn crisis. The soldiers are vaguely dissatisfied, but they don’t know exactly what they want. Hence anar- chy is more probable than a swift, clean-cut military revolution. The sin- gular fact about these mutinies is that they occur in the regiments most close- ly connected with the Czar. The Hus- At the trial of Wm. D.

A dcspatch from Stratford says: A man named Noah Hill was killed here on Saturday evening about 8 o’clock. While under the influence of liquor, Hill, who is an Englishman, picked a quarrel with another fellow-country- man namcd Lockier at one of the city hotels. This was too public and they adjourned to have it out with their lists in the vicinity of the skating rink. Two companions were also present, named Chapman and Morris, and it will rest with these two eye-witnesses to tell just how the killing occurred. it. appears that in the course of the fight Lockier struck Hill a blow on the ncdk or jaw, which felled the latter to the ground. Hill fell in such a way that his neck was broken and be ex- pired instantly. Lockicr was arrested and will have to answer to a charge of manslaughter.

POLICEMAN KILLS A MAN. ‘ â€"â€" Arrested the \Vrong Man First, and a Free Fight Occurred. l A dcspatch from Dalhousic, N. B., says: A shooting affray took place on- Thursday morning in St. Mauro, when- Peter Fontaine was shot dead by P0- .liceman Sealy, from the town of Dal- housie. Sealy and Constable Gallop, left Dalhousie early on Thursdaymorn- ing with warrants for the arrest of Andrew Fontaine and Peter Fontaine, charged with assault. On arriving at the home of Andrew Fontaine they placed him under arrest, and George Sealy left alone to go to the next house, where Peter Fontaine made his, home. On Sealy's arrival there he met George Jalbert, with whom Peter Fontaine- lived. He arrested Jalbert, by mistake- f01 Peter Fontaine. Jalbcrt, not hav- ing committed any offence, was sur- prised to find himself in the hands of the law, and, not knowing who Sealy was, and seeing he had a revolver in his hand, he says he mistook him for, a burglar, and made a fight, as he was very much afraid. Meanwhile he called on his wife and Peter Fontaine for help. Fontaine came downstairs undressed, and, seeing a stranger with a revolver, a general row occurred. The policemen noticing his mastakc, let Jalbert go and! made an attempt to arrest Fontaine. Jalbert, having received a severe blow, made for the woods. Meantime Gallop- came on the scene and took part in the scuffle, which resulted in Fontaine re- ceiving several shots, one ball lodging- in his liver and another just above the- hcart, death ensuing in a few minutes. Sealy surrendered himself to the County Sheriff. ’ ‘3 ~}<â€"â€"-â€"â€"-â€" DRAIVN UNDER TRAIN. Mr. George “’right, of Gordon Lake,. Loses Ills Foot. A dcspatch from _Sault Ste.
