Mayor Ray occupied the chair, and Mr. Harstone, Principal of the Collegiate Institute, the vice chair. 0n right of the chairman were the members of the rink. and on his left were Mr. Dill. the U. S. Consul, and Mr. McMil- len, Emigration agent for the hurtliwest. After the good things were diSpused of. ‘the “Loyal Toasts" were proposal and responded to.

J. D. F lavelle, Skip, J. A. M‘- Millan, 3rd, J. M. McLennan, 2nd, tl W. H. Simpson, 1st, Champions of the W in-nipeq Bonspiel for the year 1892. e We meet you to-mght as citizens and as S curlers to extend to you a. welcome home b again, and to show you in this quiet way that we appreciate and honor you for the great skill which you have displayed in playing the “ Grand auld roarin’ game.” In former years some of you and some of us who are here tonight, with others who have gone, made the name of Lindsay and LindSay Curling-Club famous throughout the whole of Eastern America, through 3 their Victories orer Eastern Clubs. It re- mained for those who went to Winnipeg in prev1ous years to make the name of our town and our curling-club known through- out the whole of North Western America, and we are proud to thii.k that in every curling centre of importance in America the name of our good town is known and respected. \Ve admire in no small degree the pluck you have shown in going So far to try for honors for yourselves, your club and your town, and we rejoice not only in your success but also in havmg the only Ontario rink which has thus far been will- ing to risk its reputation in competition “1th the great rinks of the home of co: ling, the great North-West. To say that we are proud of your success in winning the Grand Ct allenge Cup at the Winnipeg bonspeil this year, a cup which is emblematic of the championship of the bonspeil, and which is more coveted than any other be- cause of the honor attached to winning it, is all too feeble an expression of our feel- ings. This cup with the one won by the great Lindsay rink of last year, completes the round of prizes open to outside rinks, so that the Lindsay curlers have now the honor of having won every prize open to them at the Winnipeg bonspeil. This honor is all the greater when we consider that their competitors have been the crack rinks of the continent. As citizens we feel that you have made the name of our town known throughout the length and breadth of a continent, and all that we can do is insufficient to celebrate your victories fittingly. As curlers we re- joice because your success brings honor to our club in which we “are a’ brithers.” Highly as we honor you for the skill you ‘ have shown in playing the game you love so well, we respect you still more highly on account of the popularity which you have earned in the city of Winnipeg and among the curlers of the North-West through your manly, honorable, courteous treatment of your opponents on the ice, and of all with whom you came in contact. We are sure that in all the cities and to xns represented at the bonspiel a citizen of Lindsay will in the future be gladly welcomed because of this visit of yours. 7 ‘ ‘ ‘ , \VCIU‘III-vu V'v‘vwâ€"v' . We honor you as citizens and as curlers, and trust that you may long be spared to keep the name of our town in a foremost place in business and in all manly sports. T1109. W.

Mr. Flavelle replied and during his re- marks gave a very graphic account of the series of games played, and the courtesy extended to the visitors by the curlers and citizens of the prairie capital, which he said would always e remembered bv him and those accompanying him With the kindest 1 _ _________ ,1 In:n n“of;f11flp Lnosc uucu-uyou ”-1-, ....-_ .. --__ V ,, feelings. He also expressed his gratitude to the C. P. R Telegraph 00., and their agents at Winnipeg and Lindsay, who so freely and Without charge sent all the mes- sages in conneetion with the bonspiel. Messrs. McMillan, McLennan and Simpson, Mr. Flavelle’s colleagues also replied, each of whom received an “ovation." The toast of “the Manitoba branch of the Caledonian Curling Society” brought Mr. W. McMillan. Emigration Agent. who is an old curler, to his feet. He made a hap y reply, at the close of which he read tiie following original lines. which were re- ceived with applause :â€" Fair Manitoba sent abroad A challenge through the land, That in her stately capital She'd hold a. bonspiel grand. From north, and south, and east. and west, Came knights of broom and stane, ' Each city sent her very best The Challenge Cup to gain. The battle raged from day to day For fame and victory.

Second Annual County Convention. [Continued from last week.] R. J. Cohille of Peterboro’ took up “ Christian Endeavor Extet.sion.” He Sztid it was hardly necessary in this banner county oi Victoria to speak of Endeavor ettension, Still he urged the importance of persoml work to this end, then society, lucid union and County union Work, all of which should he used to propagate the Christian Endeavm- idea that had been such a benefit to so many young people. The last subject considered during the afternoon was the “The county society. where it can exist.” was taken up by Mr. Alex. Home of Eden, Mariposn, who showed that where two or three were willing: to unite on Christian Enclavor lines it was possible for a society to exist though there might: be discouragementa istill they were ~10 rest on the promise "Whatsoever two of you shall agree tc ask as touching my kingdom. it shall be grant- ed you.” The quastinn (II‘AWGI‘ was ably conduct- ed by Re .

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SO’ IETY. “Its methods," by Mr. Suggett, of Valentin, who gave an instructive paper on the methods found most helpful in conducting county societies generally. ‘Its possxbilities,’ by Miss T. E. Allen, Little Britain, who after reviewing the work their own members showed what could be done in reaching homes where, on account. of sickness or old age, they too feeble to attend the house 0‘ prayer ; by inviting young men and women to the meetings ; and showed how a young girl had been led to Christ as a result of a bouquetofflowers sent in by the committee acc'mipanied with their prayers. St. Andrews church was well filled when at 7.45 the combined choirs again took their places and rendered another service of song. Rev. B. C. Jones of Port Hope, was the first speaker, and took for his subject, “Chrisrian endeavor in missions and young men.” Although just recover- ‘ ing from sickness he was enabled to give to each one present a grander insight into and a greater desire to do something on behalf of missions: (1) Because Christ him- self was a missionary. (‘2) Because he has given us the command “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,” and if we cannot go into for- eign fields we could speak to those around v1: 77 7 7' " I us, and 11180 put our hands into our pockets and help send one to go for us. “ Ideals" was the subject of an address by the Rev. R. G. Boville of Hamilton. The speaker placed Christ as the only true ideal, in following whom we could not. help but have a truer cancept-ion of a. ‘noble manhocd. He urged everyone present to have an ideal in life, which Would make it purer, grander and nobler. The closing consecration meeting was led by R. J. Colville, and will never be forgotten. As the hour was late he invit- ed a representative from each society to speak for the society as a. whole, and as one after another responded the spirit of God seemed to fill each heart, and we believe the effect of that meeting will be _ felt throngnout the county in renewed I activity in Christian work. There was fully 125 delegates present from outside the town. The following resolutions were passed at the evening session: â€" That, the thanks of this convention be tendered to the trustees of St. Andrew’s church, the Baptlst church and the Young Men’s Christian Associatlan for kindly opening their buildings for our use durlng the conventlon. That we tender our thanks to the Speakers who gave us such valuable assistance at the evening sessions. That .we tender our thanks friends In. Lindsay who so kindly tained us In their homes. “hmifim. OTTAWA, February 27,â€"Mr. Richard Seeumu and Mr. F. H. Brydges, secretary of the Mamtoba North-Western Railway Company, had an interview yesterday with the Deputy-Minister of the Interior Department 1n reference tn the settlement of a large number of immigrants fmm North Germany along. the line of the rail- way. Mr. Seeman has had great experi- ence in locating immigrants under an agreement With the Brazilian Guwrmnent, and claims to have transported nearly fifty thousand persons from various European enuntries to Brazil in five years. The inducement of free transport-itiun, free lands. and a. bonus offered by Brazil are much greater than can be expected from Canada, but he has a proposal to submit to the Dominion Government. :which, if accepted, will probably lead to the introduction to‘the North-West of a \ large and desirable class of settlers. o the enter- DETROIT, Feb. 26.â€"Michael Dunn, ex- convict, and founder of the Home of In- dustry in this city for ex-Convicts, died in ‘ Brooklyn, N.Y.. a. few days ago. Dunn was 66 years old, and began a career of crime when eight years old. He was born of criminal parents in Manchester, Eng- land. He learned the alphabet when 25 years old. and had at. that time been in prison a number of times, having been transported on one occasmn to Van Dieâ€" man’s Land for seven years. When Dunn came to America. he enlisted in the Am- erican army and deserted. He was cap- tured, put in irons, and taken on board a ,ship, but escaped. Dunn was married in New Yuk, and six weeks later was sent ,to Blackwell’s island, but escaped by k'l Llsuvu u v-. ~ -v- 7V swimming to the Long Island shore. He returned to England. was Convicted of garrotting, and serVed fifteen monthsof a ten year servicein a solitary cell. Thir- teen years ago he decided to reform, and began establishing missions for the con- version of Convicts. He has since led an upright life. LONDOX, Feb. 26.â€"News of a terrible l disaster in the North sea, by which a? steamer went to the bottom, carrying with her every soul on board, with only one exception, was received in this city at :t late hour tonight. Only meagre details of the catnstrophy have yet been obtained. but from the despatches already at hand it is learned that the steamers Loughbrow (Brit) and Forest Queen came into collision ofl' Flamborough, a village of Yorkshire, East riding, an the North sea. The vessels crashed together with great force, and the Forest Queen was torn ‘ apart by the bow of the Loughbrow. The daumges sustained by the Forest Queen damages sustained by the Forest Queen} were so extensive that the sea began to; rush through the breaches made in her‘ hull in a great volume. The water pour- ed in so rapidly that she at once began to settle, and in a very short space of time after she had been struck she plunged tn the hottom. So quickly did the Forest Queen founder that her crew had no chance to save their lives, and all hands. with the single exception of the captain. went down with her to a \xatery grave. The despatches give no information as to tho extent of the damage done to the Loughbrow. VIENNA, Feb. 29.â€"It is estimated 0,uuu shoemakers, 3,000 carpenters, 1,500 metal works. 7,000 stone workers and 23,000 un- skilled laborers are out of work here. A reporter who accompanied the relief com- mittee on their rounds yesterday witness- ed scenes of poverty and misery which it would be hard to match in the squalid courts of London. As an alleged result of the McKinley law. 20,000 pearl workers ‘were thrown out of employment and are now classed as unskilled workmen, the Austrian laws preventing their embracing a new trade without serving a new ap-* prenticeship, which is empossible in the case of adults burdened with families.

The Dominion Controverted Elections f Act was amended last session so as to pro- c vide that an election shall not be voided where the court makes the following find- i ingszâ€"(a) That no corrupt practice was } committed by the candidate personally, 1 and that the offences mentioned were ' committed contrary to his order and with- " out his sanction or connivance: (b) That the candidate took all reasonable means for preventing the commission of corrupt practices; (c) that the offences mentioned were of a trival, unimportant and limited character; and (d) that in all other respects, so far as disclosed by the evidence the election was free from any corrupt practice on the part of the candidate and of his agents. There is no doubt that had this amendment applied to the election of last March, several Liberals whose elections have been avoided would have retained their seats. As it is now the Conservatives who have been elected in the last month will be the first to get the benefit of it‘ We do not complain of this A Chequered Career. The Dominion Election Sunk At Sea. It is estimatgd 5,009 Cents per Year in Advance. the law is just and reasonable, and it does not, as Sunle people suppose, allow a member to ret tln his seat simply because his majority is large. Gross bribery such as has prevailed in several elections in Ontario will unseat the member. no matter how large his majority may be. Nor is it necessary to prove a Lumber of cases of bribery equal to his majority. The same act provides that pI'UYCSlS mus‘ be present- ‘ ed within 40 days after the holding of the poll, so that it makes liu ditl'erence now when the return of the member is gazetted. The cost of an clectlnu trial is limited to $300, over and above wntness’ fees and other disbursements, and counsel fees are limited to $50 for the first and $40 for each succeeding day. This amendment applies only to the costs which the un- successful suitor has to pay to his op- ponent.â€"Globe. Bunssono', Pa., Feb. 28.â€"A test of the Brown segmental tube wire gun, made here on Friday, produced a glressure of more than fifty-three thousand pounds to the square inch in the cylinder made to represent the powder chumher of the gun and the cylinder not only withstood this enormous strain, but iftex-Wards showed not the slightest trace of having been subject to it. The lining tube, the breech plug, the segments. the wire winding, and the gas checks were entirely uninjured, and careful start gauging showed there was no enlargement of the bore whatever. ‘ The test was made with a cylinder sixteen inches long, having a diameter inside of five inches and an outside diameter of fifteen inches. The five inch walls were composed of a thin lining tube, twelve segments three inches thick, and about two inches of wire wound in thirtyoone layers. The cross section of the wire was one seventh of an inch sqture. As the result of this experiment the strength of Brown system of wire gun manufacture has been definitely settled. There was no defect found in the cydnder. The five inch gun now under construction is nearly ready to be assembled and wound. It will be finished and tired in May. As it will have a length of 44 calibres and can be safely given a chamber pressure of 25 tons per square inch, an initial velocity of at. least 2,700 feet a seCond is expected. VIENNA, February 26.â€" The details of a horrible story were received here to-day telling of a fiendish act. Committed, it is alleged, to avenge another horrible crime. A band of masked men at. the small village of Minin went to the house of a handsome young widow named Maria Loppers during: the night, forced their way into tl‘e bedroom occupied by the Woman and bound her securely with cords. They then poured a. large quantity of petroleum over her, thoroughly saturating her clothes with the fluid. A match was then applied to the oil-soaked garments 1 and in an instant the unfortunate woman W3: enveloped in flames. L -_.1 -4-.. was crave-wry“ .-- ..-._,-, The poor victim's shrieks and cries were bloodcurdling,but the terrible agony suffered by the woman as she was roasted to death had little effect in arousing pity from her assailants. who Watched the wo- man’s cremation. The band stood gazing on thishorrible spectacle until the woman’s convulsive struggles had ceased and her anguished moans had died away and not one of them stirred from the spot until nothing remained of the woman’s body but a blackened and distorted mass. The murderers then left the place. The affair has caused much excitement. The motive assigned for the outrage is that the woman 7,: L-.. u§a1gucu 5v. e-.- -_-_, n was susPected of having murdered her husband and it is thought that those who took part in the burning of the woman were friends of the dead man. VANCOUVER, B. C. Feb. 29.â€"The first trace of Mr. \V. G. Colquhoun, who disap- peared mysteriously on the night of Thur- day, Jan., 28, was found Saturday after. noon about 1.30 o‘clock. when J ohn Nash, a workman engaged by Palmer Bros. came on his dead body beneath the wharves be- longing to that firm. The remains were found quite a distance :back from the edge of the wharf under- neath the planking where it could not be seen except by someone who happened to go beneath as Nash did. It was so far back and behind so many piles that it could not possibly have been borne there by the tide. It had evidently not been disturbed since first laid there, and foot- ints leading to the remains seemed to indicate that they had been carried there by a man. By no conceivable manner of accident could the unfortunate fellow have fallen oil the wharf and the remains been washed there by the ebb and flow of the water. There was a bluish mark encircling l the neck, as if something had been pressed or drawn tight around it. Colquhoun came here from Glasgow in October 1890. with $2000, but went through it, and had since been working as a book- 5 keeper. It seems that he had threatened to castigate one James O'Connor [an e expressman who earned a reputation ‘through marrying a girl named Edith Lyle to escape prosocution for criminal assault} and who had grossly insulted a daughter '3 of the landlord of the Richmond Hotel it where Colquhoun boarded. In conversation d which happened a day or two after Colqu~ d houn's disappearance, O'Connor is reported to have said in the heat of anger, “1 have .r put him where he will never be heard from .
