Council. ‘ LONDON, July 30.â€"The Privy Council delivered some very interesting judgments in Canadian cases this morning. The most Important of these were in connec- tion with the Manitoba separate school question. There were two appeals to be decided, that of the City of Winnipeg v. Barrett and the City of Winnipegv. Logan. In both of these cases their lordshins allowed appeals with costs. DA‘I WINNIPEG, August Lâ€"There is much anxiety here to learn the particulars of the ‘ judgment given in London in the separa- te school appeal. The history of the suit is as follows: In 1890, the Manitoba. Legislature passed the present School Act. establishing separate schools, and making it compulsory for taxpayers, both Protestants and Roman Catholics to pay taxes towards the maintenance of these schools. In 1891 Mr. J. K. Barrett. on behalf of the Roman Catholics, brought suit in the Queen’s Bench Court to quash the by.law of the City of Winnipeg, by which taxes were raised, claiming that according to the school act taxes could not be collected from the Roman Catholics. {Judge Kill-am, of the Queen’s Bench. gave , A- LLA Jars-“manning duugu lxulaul, u: vuv “fins..- - _ -_,,, v c a decision favorable to the defendants. the city of Winnipeg, and the case was again appealed to the full court, which also gave a decision in the defendants’ favor. Mr. Barrett then appealed to the Supreme Court at Ottawa, Where a decis- ion was rendered last autumn in favor of the appellants, declaring the act ultra wires and beyond the power of the Legis- lature to so legislate. ‘ The city of Winni- li'bulv peg, ecting foci‘ the Local Government, then in turn became the appellant. and appealed the case to the Privy Council of Great Britain. ST. PAVL. Aug. 1.--Five thousand people at. Inver Grove, just south of this city, were the horrified spectators yesterday afternoon of a terrible fall to death of Prof. Hobe, the aeronaut. When the balloon reached the usual altitude Hobe could be seen tugging at the valve cord, which would not work. Before he could manipulate it the balloon was at least 3,000 feet above the earth. In the regular way 166v uuvv v -â€" 7 he cut loose the parachute and shot rapidly eastward. but to the horror of the crowd the parachute did not expand and the unfortunate aeronaut fell like a shot toward the ground. So great was the force of the fall that he was driven in the soft ground to a depth of 10 feet and instantly killed. It required the work of an hour to reach the body and death l had occured long before. .It was reported at St. Louis early this morning that the limited eastbound passenger train on the Big Four, which left here at 4 p. m. . colliding with a freight train at Edwardsville Junction, 11]., the engineer and fireman being killed and a. large number of passengers being injured, several fatally.

S.D., July 29.â€"The City Council Committee on next Monday will report unanimously in favour of inaugurat- ing the municipal saloon scheme. The ‘ committee recommend the establishment of six city saloons in Sioux Falls, one for each ward; that there be appointed a saloon superintendent. under whom the working force of bartendersshall be: the saloons to be open from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. ; nothing to be sold which cannot be obtained from Sioux Falls wholesalers or manufacturers; beer to be disposed of at five cents a glass while Whiskey shall command 25 cents a drink. It is the purpose of the commit- tee, if their plan is carried through, to lessen as much as possible the demand for spirituous liquors. LONDON, August 1.â€"A man who is con- fined in a prison in Glasgow has confessed to the authorities that he was implicated in the murder of Lord Leitrim, who was shot and killed April 2, 1878, while driv- ing near his residence in County Derry, Ireland. The prisoner also stated that he was concerned in the killing of Lord Mountmorres, at Rushen. County Mayo. Ireland, September 25. 1880. He further says he was hired to assist the man who killed the informer James Carey, who was shot and killed on board the steamer “Melrose,” at Port Elizabeth, South A frica, by a passenger named O’Donnell. The authorities are carefully investigating the story of the man, whom they have subjected to a most searching examination and are endeavering to secure proof of his statements. They refuse to divulge the prisoner’s name, or to furnish any infor- mation regarding him. None of the perSons concerned in the murders of Lord ‘ Leitrim and Lord Mountmorres were ever I caught. Review of affairs at Homsteadâ€"â€"â€"Second Month of the Strikeâ€"Gloomy Pros- pect for the Locked-out Men. HOMESTEAD, I’a., July 29,â€"The second month of the great Homestead strike opens rather dismuragingly, so far asthe locked-out men are concerned, though they do not in the slightest admit it. and express as great confidence in ultimate victory as ever. On June 29th, 2,000 men were locked out. 1,800 others struck out of sympathy, and only a few thchmen were left around the plant. To-day there are about 725 men in the mill, and the firm claims it has a quantity of beams ready for shipment. The locked-out men have no access to the non-unionists to in- duce them to come out, while daily the firm is filling vacancies and training new men for the work. Meanwhile the effects . of the lock-out are being felt in the town. ‘ To-day a constable closed a grocery store. the owner concluding to go out of business owing to his inability to carry on an ex- tensive credit business. A number of merchants who are in sympathy with the locked-out men are considering a plan whereby they will not give credit. but will sell at absolute cost to‘ all locked-out men. The relief committee, wl‘ich has charge of all the poorer paid labour, meets all demands upon it, though daily the long line of persons asking assistance grows larger. The non-union men are beginning to receive an astonishing number of threaten- ing letters. The following 13 a sample:â€" “ HOMESTEAD, July 29. “ Notice.â€"All non-union men desiring to leave Carnegie’s works will be provided for by the union men of Homestead, but. all who stay at work will seek their God.

Minister of Justice, interviewed by a Star Correspunjent, said he was not prepared to express :my opin- ion until the full text of the judgment was received. He entertained no doubt that the Dominion Government would, in due course. give the matter full considera- tion. but was unable to state wth action would be taken. u V‘s-v. w- v.._-__. The impression generally prevails here that the Dominion Parliament will be asked next session to pass remedial legisla- tion, such a contingency as the present one having been provided for in the constitution. Princess Beatrice Has a Naraow Escape from Death by Fire. BERLIN, Aug. 1.â€"â€"Princess Beatrice had a narrow escape from death from fire in the castle at Hailigenburg on Saturday morning. Her maid, carrying: a candle, approached too near a mosquito net covering the bedstead. setting fire to the net. Princess Beatrice, who was in bed, i had no time to dress. but ran out of the room and alarmed the household. The hose fixtures near the bedroom would not work, and a whole wing of the castle was destroyed before the firemen arrived. Princess Beutrice lost all her jewels and clothes. Her husband, who was sleeping in a hunting box in the neighboring woods, hastened to the castle as soon as he learn- ed of the fire. Two firemen were injured. Princess Beatrice has telegraphed to the Queen from Castle Heiligenberg, Ger- many, saying that she ls quite well and that personally she in no wise suffered from the mid-night alarm of Friday last, when part of the castle was destroyed by fire. SAN LUIS Porosr, Mexico, July 29.â€"A sickening sight was witneSSed here last night at a bull fight. by electric light in the new ring near the city. There were 5,000 persons present, including a number of American ladies and gentlemen. The mata- dor. Alberto Limertura, was in the act of giving the third bull a thrust with his short sword when he slipped and fell. The fren- zied bull held him on his hornshin a ,_ ,1_- IAIUU UuAL o‘uw moment, and was goriup: him ferociously, when three of the banderillerous rushed to the rescue. They flaunted their scarlet cloaks in front of the bull a number of times without attracting hisnattention 1,, L‘_- UIILICD "A ............. from the fallen matador. Suddenly the bull charged upon one of the banderilleros, who sought protection behind a barrier for that purpose. The hull overtook him and caught him up on the shar points of his horns, which penetrate entirely through the man’s body. The crowd was wild with excitement, the mexicans eheer- ing the bull for his grand fighting qualities, and when the bugle sounded the call for the man to come in ane lasso the mad animal to be killed the spectators protest- ed vehemently against such action. Nova Scotia Ready and Anxious to Carry It. HALIFAX. N. 8., Aug. 1.â€"~At the ses- sion of the Royal Commission on the liquor traffice to-day James R. Lithgow, treasurer Glace Bay Milling Company,said he opposed prohibition on Scriptural grounds. The Israelites were under divine law and they dealt in strong liquor, and such law should be sufficient for the people of Nova Scotia. ‘II. “v‘“v‘r‘â€"~_ James \V. Fleming, superintendent Halifax Poor Asylum, testified that the asylum at present has 270 inmates, one- third in the asylum directly from liquor and one-third indirectly from drinking habits parenNts. ,. n‘ B '17. J~ r_- A_ uâ€"A Rev. J. S. Coffin, of Windsor, ex-pre- sident of the Wesleyan Conference. Nova. Scotia, stated that he had taken part in many Scott Act campaigns. He favored prohibition and declared its enforcement possible. The license law worked satis- factorily for a time in Cape Breton, but the expense attending litigation and ap- peals discouraged temperance workers. In Shelburne County at Lockeport, Barring- ton and elsewhere the Scott Act was suc- cessful. Wherever it failed it was owing to inadequate machinery. If the power of the Federal Government were behind it and dominion officers enforcing it success would be assured. ‘ A. M. Bell said that the license law had never been carried out in Halifax. He was president of the Law and order League Which had attempted to enforce the law, but the members had been prosecuted for conspiracy and sued for damages, and though they were successful in appeal, the expenses were larger, and they had done nothing since, though they know the law was violated in Halifax. He was in favor of a Dominion prohibitory law. n~ ,c Taik of Remedial Legislation, ’l‘homas Milsom, city medical officer of Dartmouth, said he opposed to a prohibi- tory law as being impracticable. Robert .Murray, editor of the Presby- terian Witness, stated that the local license law was in advance of the public sentiment of Halifax, though not of other parts of Nova Scotia. He wasin favor of a federal prohibition act carried out by proper officers. ,,_r-_.. -2 Ll... aninl'r PREPATED FOR PROHIBITION. ill.

Next Month’s Great Presbyterian Gath- ering- The Presbyterians throughout Canada, and more particularly of Toronto, are actively engaged in completing prepara- tions for the Pan-Presbyterian council, which will hcld its session in Toronto, beginning on September ‘21 next. It is expected that there will be in attendance at least 1,000 delegates, representing the church throughout the World. Rev. Dr. Caven, moderator of the General Assembly of Ontario will preside. Many questions of vital importance to Presbyterians will be discussed, such as prohibition, the labor question, the ministry, and, in all proba- bility. the council will'consider seriously the advisability of adopting a consensual creed. or one which may be agreed upon by all churches. This has proved a burn- ing question in the United States, where for some time the northern church has been of the opinion that the adoption of a less rigid creed than the Westminister confession would be in the interest of re- ligion. It is probable, however, that Calvinism will remain intact, notwith- standing that certain words may be elim- inated which to the unlearned prove con- fusing. sagainst the estate. Sensational Sequel to the Death of a Wealthy Michigan Man. SAND BEACH, Mich., July 29.â€"A social sensation was caused here this afternoon when a young woman giving her name as Cora Landreth. and bearing in her armsa 2-year-old child. filed notice with the exe- cutors of the estate of Harold Watson, who was one of the wealthiest residents and most prominent men in the state, that she would enforce a claim of $50,000 1~ .1."9. The grounds of her claim are that Wat- son was her husband by a. common law marriage, that he IS the father of her child and that she holds a statement trom Wat- son, which in the event of his death was to entitle her to $50, 000 from his estate. Mr. Ed. Conkell is improving in health. She lives in Canada, where Watson first met; her, and soon afterward he furnished an elegant home for her in _Toronto: . Since his death, 18 months ago, she has been endeavorinq to secure the amount of her claim from the heirs, but affirms that while they admlt its justice they rdfuse to make it good, and she has been forced to make 1t public. Watson was well known in political and social circles, and though a bachelor bore an excellentcharacter. He left an estate of nearly $750,000, divided among half a. dozen heirs. LONDON. July 29.â€"-The Lancet in an editorial, says that'the cholera. is making steady headway in Russia, and that even the incomplete official returns received admit that 550 deaths are daily caused by the scourge in that country. The disease is spreading westward, and the report that i: has invaded Roumania, if true, is of serious import to Europe. No proper account, The Lanzet says, has yet been issued in regard to the disease in Paris, and little importance can be attached to Dr. Proust’s official statement that there is no invading or imported cholera in France. t ‘4 REE UMATISM HIGIJV‘BOTHflMS Confidential reports from St. Petersburg say that the Russian Government is con... vinced that the recent so-called Cholera riots were due to Nihilists. Threatening letters have been scattered broadcast, and citizens in many towns are afraid to ask for police protection. Revolutionary agents assure the poorer classes that they will be killed in the cholera hOSpitals, 3 while the rich will be spared. “When half the people attacked die it matters little what name is given to the cholera in Paris and its s_ubu1jbs.” Riots arising out of the cholera panic and directed against the medical authori- ties have occurred in Tashkend. Troops have rigorously suppressed the riots, kill- ing and wounding seven persons. SCIIA'I‘ICA POSITIVELY CU RED BY Cholera’s Sweep in Russia. BURNT RIVER. a} MIXTURE EE- in Advance
