Braun, 39 Queen-street west, ‘was drown- ed in the Bay at 6 o’clock last evening, and his parents were saved from a. similar rate by the cour- age and strength of William Robinâ€" son, 13 Louisa-street. At 3.30 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Robinson. Mr. and Mrs. Braun, and their son shoved out from the foot of .York-street in a. boat owned by ROb‘ inson. They pulled a. straight course for the point at the eastern gap, and reached there without any mishap. They spent a few moments there and then started back for the city. When half way across the bay on the return journey, Robinson. who is an experi- enced boatman, said he feared there was going to be a squall, and advised heading the boat for Church-street, as there were then opposite that point. --_V_ - sâ€"v_v . r Their fears were soon realized, as they had scarcely veered in their course, when a. terrific gale sprung up. “It was the worst I ever saw,” said Robinson, in speaking of the condition of the bay, last evening, The boat was a good one, having been in use for years, and always proving sea- worthy. The waves ran so high, how- ever, that the water broke over her side, and she began to slowlvufill.‘ A: _rr‘w- ___h r- ,, son reached him before he had sank for the third time, but the boy was nowhere to be seen. Braun was taken .on board the vessel, and he and his lwife sent to their home. Braun says that when the boat sank he grasped the boy. but heavy sea tore him from his grasp. and he never rose after go- ing down the first time. The lad‘s hat was recovered an hour or two inter. aluc, (in-Au on.» vva-- -v “Are you a good swimmer?” asked Robinson of Braun. “Yes.” was the reply. “W'ell. then you save the boy and I will save your wife. The boat will swamp before we can reach the wharf.” Robinson is a heavily built man, of great strength and a. good oarsmam The boat was over half full of water the load was heavy, but he hoped to reach the side of a coal vessel that was being unloaded at the Church-street wharf. He managed to get the sink- ing craft near enough to catch a line that was thrown to him by the boat bands. Robinson relied on Brown ’to save the child. and as his one hand graSped the line. his other arm was thrown around the woman. In the excitement the boat swamped. She sank below the surface, overturned and rose again. Robinson lost his hold of the rope, and struck out for the coal vessel with Mrs. Braun in his arms. He reached the boat. gave the now fainting woman into the hands of the boat hands. and turned back in time to see Braun dis- appearing beneath the waves.

He maintains at In- verary Castle bagpipes band of a dozen Highlanders, and he proposes to march through the glen on the evning of Sept. 9. playing Pibrochs. The de- scendants of the MacDonalds are up In arms against the action upon the part of a descendant of the Duke of Argyll. who was instrumental in the massacre, and they threaten to attack the party. Lord Archibald Campbell }has applied to the police for protection. but he refuses to abandon the idea of marching through the glen. Twenty-Two )Ieu Desperately Resist an Attacking Party. Madrid.

Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 3,â€"Hon. J. C. Patterson, the new Lieutenant-Gover- nor of Manitoba, and Mrs. Patterson left for Winnipeg to-day via Toronto. The ceremony of swearing in the new Governor took place in the Privy Coun- cil Chamber this morning, there being Present Sir A. P. Caron, Sir C. H. Tup- ;Per and Hon. Mr. Ouimet. The oath ‘was administered by Mr. McGee, Clerk of the Privy Council. At a meeting or £98,. C~ahinet held subsequently. Hon. J. C. Schultz, the late Liéutenint-Gov- ernor. was appointed administrator of the province pending Mr. Patterson’s arrival. Labor Day was observed as a gen- eral holiday to-day. The weather wax superb, and 1 1e usual parade was held in the morni: .2, but it did not come up to that of l: zmt year owing to a spli in _the ranks of the labor organizations Prof. Prince, Commissioner of Fish- eries, is expected home next week. For nearly two months he has been engaged in studying the fisheries or British Columbia, both on the Fraser and the northern rivers. He has been making a systematic examination of Burrard Inlet with a view to ascer- taining whether it is suitable for lob- ster breeding. Major Sherwood, Commissioner of Dominion Police, has returned from New York, where he went in connec- tion with the prosecution of a. gang of counterfeiters who had been capâ€" tured by the police of Gotham. A num- ber of Canadian bills were found among the “ stuff ” discovered by the detectives. There are further developments in connection with the Separate School controversy.

Sept. 2.â€"-The Trades and Labor demonstration to-day was a huge success, and everyone in the city either took part in the procession or witnessed it‘. Dundurn has never had a bigger crowd, and the day was spent . most pleasantly. The procession, which was the largest ever seen in the city, represented largely the manufac- turing interests of the city. After reaching Dundurn Park an excellent program or games was run off, and there were music and speeches galore. All the bands in the city were engag- ed for the occasion. Edward W'illiams occupied the seat ‘nf honor on the platform and Hon. W. :H. Montague. Secretary of State. and l A Wright. in splendid oratorical efforts {entertained the immense gathering. lThe Secretary of State spoke in com- Iplimentary terms of Canada’s increas- l'mg greatness. and how her sons could ' win distinction wherever they went, in- stancing the victory of Private Hay- hurst in winning the Queen’s Prize at Bisley. He congratulated the Trades and Labor Council on their good work, and his remarks about trade unions were not uncomplimentary. He re- ferred briefly to the harmonious rela- tions existing in Canada between capi- tal and labor. and eulogized the labor movement. The speaker was received enthusiastically. One of the interesting events was the tug-of-war contest between the champions of the world. the Zorra men. and the Barton men. The result was a draw. as in the final pull the Barton team pulled only a quarter of an inch. while to win it is necessary to pull half an inch. The feat of the Zorra anchor- man holding three of the Barton team did not come 01?. owing to a hitch in the arrangements. 7 In the eI'ening Hon. W. H. Montague presented the prizes. The Rambler bicycle team won the team road race. Prom-h Soldier- In Mad-near Nearly All In Hospital.

The hospitals. the letter says, are mere shells containing tiers ~of beds. one above another, the up- ‘permost beds coming in contact with the canvas roof. The physicians and attendants are insuflicient in number, besides being in many cases incompe- tent.
