In the first-place, it would seem that Mrs. Kinrade was on the street before 3.25 and after 3 o'cloek, ile Mrs. Clara Rudd, a, neighbor, ore that she saw Ethel Kinrade rm Herkimer street at 3 o'clock. In / this she was supported by Charles Hossack, but there was a curious discrepancy between the witnesses. Mrs. Rudd stated that the girl was attired in a blue costume; Hossack was positive that the color of her dress was brown. Mrs. Rudd, how- ever, has the advantage of being ' woman, and the accuracy of the feminine sex for details of costume is a thing which no man can ever attain. There was, however, a re- markable expression of feeling in the court room as these details came forth. It was an expression) ‘to be felt rather than heard, and' as if the eager auditors were of} the opinion that at least some slight) addition had been made to the slen-l der array of facts of an absolute} character, which are in the hands! of the Crown.

A small black dog belong- ing to Frank LeFortune, a livery- man, showing signs of having been ' eeted, was destroyed last Fri. 6*, and one belonging to Mr. F. . Pursel was shot on Saturday. It appears that LaFortune’s dog bit a, lad about eleven years of age named Gurling on Thursday, and it has been thought advisable to have the boy taken to the Pasteur Institute at New York. The Mayor has issued a proclamation that all dogs must be muzzlad for two months, and it is hoped that this regulation will prevent any more trouble. Appreciation of New Zealand’s 01-1 fer of Battleships: -~ A despatch from London says'. The Earl of Crewe has expressed to Sir Joseph Ward Britain's ap- preciation of New Zealand’s offer of battleships, which he had com- municated to the King, the Premier and the Admiralty. Sir Joseph; Ward, interviewed at Wellington,‘ said the Cabinet was unanimous on the Imperial defence question. He added that the burden upon the British nation for naval expendi- ture was enormous, and every loyal subject must feel in a crisis like th's that he is called upon to help the motherland by more than words. New Zealand, proud of her past proofs of loyalty, stood to- day among the first-in the British tltg1tee11,s, for a ready and loyal . ' use when the necessities of the empire called for it. At a dinner at Sydney on Monday night four citizens offered to contribute SM,- 000 if it were decided to present Britain with a Dreadnought by pub- lic subscriptions. The Lord Mayor of Melbourne agreed to call a meet- ing to consider the suggestion.

A "desifuc'h" from» Tiusonbvrg says: The twelve-year-old daugh- ter of Wm. Ryan of Middleton is still in a precarious condition from her wounds. The bullet passed en- tirely through her body. Ezra Parker, a, brother-in-law of the girl, had been hunting on Monday and brought the gun to the house, laying it on the table. A brother of the injured girl, about ten1 years of age, began handling the) gun, and accidentally discharged) it, the ball striking the girl in the right side. She is doing as well as can be expected, and the physi- eian in attendance expects her to recover. The girl's mother died about four months ago. The inquiry was abruptly ad- journed, for lack of further wit- nesses, until April 22nd, Mr. Black- stock saying that a, lengthy post- ponement was necessary, indicat- ing apparently that witnesses are to bu nought from a, distance. THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE. Passing on to the medical evi- dence, it may be accepted as proved by Dr. Edgar, who, with the tt,8- sistance of Dr. Balfe, made the autopsy, that Ethel Kinrade lived for ten or fifteen minutes after the wounds in the head were inflicted. She was actually killed by a bul- let of 2 calibre through the heart. There were seven shots fired, which took effect, one only making both wounds in the scalp. THE MAN DESCRIBED. A Mrs. Sarah Willis also .saw a man run along the alley past her fence, but attached no suspicion to the circumstance, while a, third neighbor, Mrs. Cassels, thought it was just a man delivering goods, running from his delivery waggon. On one point they were agreed. The man wore a, peak cap and a short, medium dark jacket. One also said he was very fair. WARSHIPS FRO :31 C OLONY. THE BANK STATEMENT. BLOWN FROM GUNS.

A despatch from Ottawa says: The embargo against cattle from the State of Michigan has been raised by order in Council. It is still in force against livir stock from New [ York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Mary- land. The relaxation so far as Michigan is concerned is due to the fact that the authorities are satis- fied that tho foot-and-mouth dis- ease has been stamped out in that State and the raismg of the embar- gc will facilitate the movement of export cattle, many of which go from Chicago across the Niagara.

Geoffrey Howard, enfranchising every man and wo- man over 21 years of age, with one qualification, of three months' re- sidence in one constituency. Pre- mier Asquith, mentioning the di- vision of the opinion in the Cabin- et on woman suffrage, said the Government would not support the bill. Such a, reform ought to be initiated by the_Governme-nt. After a lengthy debate, the bill, at Mr. Asquith's suggestion, was referred to the Committee of the Whole House, one of the British Parlia- ment’s subterfuges for sending an undesired measure into oblivion.

A despatch from Edmonton, Al'ta., says: No less than six thou- sand bushels of wheat were grown last season at Fort Vermilion, in the Peace River district, by Mr. Sheridan Lawrence, one of the early settlers in the country. The wheat was sold to the Hudson’s Bay Company for 81.25 per bushel,, and will be ground at their mill on the Peace River. In addition; to six thousand bushels of wheat,) Mr. Lawrence raised last season‘ three thousand bushels of barley and six hundred bushels of oats.
