Toronto, Nov. 26.-Receipts at the Western cattle yards to-day were 59 carloads, including 919 cattle, 1,- 776 sheep and lambs, 516 hogs, and a few calves and milch cows. There was little doing in the ex- port. trade. In a few cases as much as 42c was paid, but from 4 to 4§c was the range for average stuff. Butcher cattle was not in great de- mrmd. A few choice lots went well at. from 4 to 41c per lb., but medium to common cattle is weak and not. wanted. The few milch cows here to-day sold at firm prices, but the run was very light.

A despatch from Brantford saysrâ€" Shortly before noon on Wednesday Herman Stewart. of Burtord, was shot, in the head by Dr. Robt. Har- bottle, of the same place. It, is not. expected that the wound will prove fatal. The bullet entered the head over the temple and passed between the scalp and the sen“, coming out at. the back of the car. It. was a 'miraculous escape from murder. Burford Doctor Wounds Herman The shot was fired from a distance of one foot from Mr. Stewart's head and how it did not kill him was a providential act. exciting the amazeb ment of all who were present. Dr. IIarbottle deliberately pulled the re- volver from his pocket when he was standing only a foot from Stewart, and, pointing the weapon at Stew- art's head. pulled the trigger. The bullet entered Stewart's head at the temple and passed out just behind and slightly above the ear. Although the victim bled profusely, the wound is not at all dangerous, and he will recover without a doubt. The bullet did not enter the scalp, but glanced ofl’. Oncbquarter of an inch more and Stewart would have died instantly. according to the doctor who dressed the wound. The shooting is the outcome of a somewhat bitter feeling that has ex- isted against Dr. Hurbottlc for some time. He is a brilliant scholar and took the medical and arts course at the same time, securing a silver medal at . Toronto University in the latter, and also standing exceedingly high in medicine. He is the possessor of a somewhat peculiar manner, and this fact has led him to be subject to frequent ridicule and annoyance, not only on the part. of boys. but al- so some men. He is a hearty symâ€" pathizer with the Boers, and has op- enly expressed himself in their favor. As an outcome his house and drug- gist's shop have twice been bespat- tered with rotten eggs, and fire crackers have been thrown into his store, and other attacks perpetrated. nightly or wrongly, he considered Stewart a leader in these affairs and there can be no doubt that it was this feeling which culminated in the guttat'k. FREE WITH HIS PISTOL. Some time ago the doctor had so veral men in the village arrested for trespass and damage to his property which was the result of the popular feeling against him. THE SHOOTING. This was the cause of the shooting. Stewart, the man who was shot, is a well-to-do farmer. He came into the village Wednesday morning and apparently had no sympathy with Dr. Harbottle. The latter was going from the corner. where Ludlow’s gen- eral store stands, to the post-office to get his mail. Stewart saw him and followed him, the two walking almost abreast. Several persons were watching the two to see wheth- er or not llarbottle would take any offence, it being a. well-known fact that they were not on speaking terms. No word passed between them from what is known. He went into the postoflice and then started buck to- wards the corner, a distance of about fifty yards or there-abouts. Someone shouted, “Brace up, Stew- art!" the purpose being to call the attention of the doctor to the fact that Stewart was Walking behind him. At the corner in full View ol half a dozen spectators, Ilarbottle pulled a. revolver from his pocket and shot at Stewart, who was then not. more than a. foot from him. The bullet. as said before. entered about the temple, and glancing on the skull. came out behind the ear. Stewart did not fall. His hat was knocked off his head, and he leaned down and picked it up. He tattered as he walked down the street to Dr. Johnson’s oil‘lce, Which was only a few doors down from the corner. IIarbottle walked across the street and along until he reached his own house and oflice. A great. crowd ga- thered immediately, the shot being heard by scores of people, who im- mediately rushed to the street to see what had happened. A few followed the doctor down the street. At the side of his house there runs a narrow verandah. Unr- bnttle went into the house and came out a moment later carrying a chair and a paper. In full view of the crowd he coolly sat down and com- menced to read the paper. A.-- llt‘uauvy- vvv Constable Dunn, who lives in the village, and Who knows Harbottle in- timately, subsequently had an inter- view with the man and placed him under arrest in his house. IIarbottlc was arraigned before J uutices of the Peace Rutherford. Cox and Gray. on a charge of shoot- vvc- “--«v ing with ‘ilâ€"lié‘lit to do bodily harm. and was committed for rial at Bram tford. Forms an Excellent Foothold and Without Dust. A despatch from Paris sayszâ€"The Rue Trouchet, which has just been paved with a new glass process, in- vented by M.

The Boers were 250 strong. After a stubborn fight, the burghers retreated, leaving one man killed on the field. Six prisoners were taken, including Gen. Zolbe. Thirty rifles, thirty horses, and 1,500 rounds of ammunition were captured. The Boers bolted across the Riet River. The British continued the chase for twenty-eight miles, when their horses were gallopâ€" cd to a standstill. Most of the Boers had two horses. and they changed them and abandoned one during the pursuit. The Boers War. in a Terrible Condition. The chase was taken up by Lowry and Cole on the 12th, and they cap- tured 35 more prisoners. The re- mainder were driven 01! towards the camp of the Bediordshires. The British loss was two wounded. Twelve of Commandant Acker- man's men deserted their commando. which has been severely handled in the past few days by the Bedford- Shires and other British columns. Five of the twelve surrendered to the outposts of Bloemlontein on Tuesday. The other seven were too exhausted to read: the British camp, and a cart was sent to bring them in. They were in a terrible plight, having been three days without food. Britain Withdraws From Neutral- ity Guarantee. A dcspatch from Washington says: --'l‘ho new Ilayâ€"Pauncel’ow tccnty was signed on Monday at. UM?» by secretary Hay for the United States and Lord Pnunrcfotc, the British Ambassador, for Great. Britain. The text of the new convention will ro- mnin secret. until the Senate, itself shall break the seal of confidence. The principal point of tliflerence between the new and the failed trea- ty is the Withdrawal of Great Brit- ain from the joint guarantee of the neutrality of the canal. thus leaving the United States the sole guaran- tor. The section of the old provi- sion respecting the right to fortify the canal leaves that right by infer- ence optional with the United States. All commerce of whatever nationali- ty passing through the canal will fare alike; there will be no discrimin- ation rates in tavor of United States shipping. Otherwise the new treaty is in scope similar to last; year's treaty. 'lt replaces technically the Claytom Bulwer treaty. concluded on April 19, 1850. White Pam Railway Will Now be Called to Time. A despatch from Ottawa says:-- Serious complaints have been made to the Government respecting the freight rates upon the White Pass railway. One case has been cited of a. carload of nails upon which the freight from Skagway to Cariboo crossing, a distance of 58 miles, was over $1,100. The rates which are being collected are not collected un- der any authority of law. Appar- ently the company have gone on in defiance of law, imposing rates which they had no authority to collect. This condition of allairs was brought to the attention of the Min- ister of Railways. and Mr. Blair has now notified the company that the rates which they have submitted to the department will not be auth- orized, and that a. very large reduc- fition will require to be made. RATES ARE EXORBITANT FARMERS GET $11,000,000. Equal Amount Yet to Come From Western Wheat. A despatch from Montreal says:â€" Elovcu million dollars have up to the present. been received by the farmers of Manitoba and the Northwest for tho 20,000,000 bushels of wheat which have passed out. of their hands and been marketed. Such is the estimate of the Lake of the Woods Milling (30., who claim that there is still an equal amount yet to be marketed. bringing the val- ue of this year's Wheat. crop alone up to $22,000,000. Add to this the value of the oat, barley, and rye crops, which are also bringing high prices, and a very prosperous ,state of affairs is in store for the farmers of the West. GLAD TO SURRENDER.

Some time ago a man presented himself tumors the Liverpool magis- trates with the following talc:â€" “Mo name is Patrick O'Connor. an’ I lives at â€" Qtreet, an' I kapee hens in my cellar, but. the waterpipes is burst, an' my hens are all drown- “Well, my good man, we can do nothing for you; you had better ap- ply to the water company," was all the advice he got. “You were here a few days ago. and we advised you to go to the water company. Did you do so?" “I did, yer honors." “And what did they say to you?" “They told me to Rape ducks!" A few days litter the same man ap- peared with pqociscly Athc sumo tale. When the late President Faure, of France, died many rumors were abroad as to the exact cause of his death. It is now alleged that he fell a martyr to excessive smoking. It seems that he was in the habit of smoking fifteen cigars a day, and he was deaf to every remonstrance on the part of his friends. Furthermore he affected a certain special foreign brand of weed, and had accumulated such a large hecatomb of victims when he died that it was calculated there was enough to last him for {our years.
