Hooper was about to be taken back to Cobourg jail, but Carpenter played his trump card just in time to secure his prisoner and left at midnight for Mont- real on the fast express.

It became known during the afternoon ‘that Hooper would be brought up from Coboug jail to attend the adjourned inquest. From the moment this fact was known the streets were lined with people, all anxious to get a look at the prisoner. Shortly be- fore7 o’clock a rig dashed up the main street containing the prisoner and two stout constables. The crowds of people did not get a chance to see him, however, as he was rushed into the Y. M,C,A. building and up- stairs to where the coroner, the jury, his lawyer, Mr. H. A. Ward, Q. C. of Terre bonne, awaited him. Hooper did not ap- pear to be in any sense insane, He took a quick glance about the room and immedi- ately began shaking hands with numerous acquaintances. The Latest Developmentsâ€"Port Hope in a State of Excitement. Port Hope, Oct. 10.â€"The plot thickens in the J. Reginald Hooper mystery. This town is in a ferment to-day over a report that the woman‘Hooper is charged with having killed was not his wife at all. I have spent the day investigating this report and have come to the conclusion that whether the deceased was his wife or not, ihe was previously married to another nvonian. It would appear that 13 years ago Hooper, was living at Montreal and worked in a printing office. He sent word to his family that he was married, and shortly after his mother left here to pay him a visit. She returned a. week later and stated that her son was married to a woman whose Christian name was Mary. Some months afterwards Hooper came home With a young girl who was introduced as his wife. That woman died last month at Terrebonne. Her name was Georgina. Rev. A. T. Green, a superannuated Methodist minister residing here lived next door to the Hoopers at that time and remembered the incident. His daughter thought it strange at the. time that the names were different, and was told that Hooper had obtained a legal separation fr0m his first wife. upon his head the severest censure of the party “dyed in the wool” class, and pitiful to read and listen to are the 'yelps from some of the unapprec- ative wirepullers whose steps they are unworthy or unwilling to duly estimate. Prof. Goldwin Smith may have been unable to see eye to eye with those who now control the business at the capital, and we have no hesitancy in disagreeing with him- on his latest political hobby, yet we think he should have that credit and respect which his distinguished culture unquestionably deserves. The last product of his historical pen is a history of the United States of America, the advance notes of which indicate that the sub- ject is handled in that careful and cosmopolitan spirit, that the flight of time will only add to itsvdemand by those who read history divested from party politics. His review of the seperation of the colonies from the motherland and the declaration of Independence, as also the facts relating to the north and south war will be particularly interesting reading to Canadian and British subjects. The book will be worthy of a. place on the shelves of every library. | THE H OOPEIC CASE. Roller and Stone Flour, Glassware, Coal Oil, Tinware, Stoves, Pipes, \Vashing Ma- chines and \Vringers.
