The story, as told by Sheriff Gow, which embraees statements mode by Miss Carr since her rescue troni b'turdy's clutch. es. in a little shanty on Loeumutive.strcet in the suburbs of Hamilton, is such as would make the blood of nil respectable citizens boil over with righteous indignation, and at the some time ask the question,', "Can such an outrage have been commit- I ty in a civilized community ?" The story, i l as gleaned principally from Mr. Gow, is as _", follows ..-oa Wednesday evening, the 25th I inst., Miss Carr received a. letter, dated I ' Thorold, purporting to have been written; by her futher, in which it stated that he ’ had oceasion to visit Guelph on business for two or three asim, and that he wouldl be very much pleased to have an intcrview I with herut Well'sbridge, on the Edinburgh 5 Road. on the Thursday evening following. , The lettm‘ also stutcd that it cub would be i in waiting for her at the bridge, and that! if hut. father was not in it she could get in l, and be driven to him. This appeared all ' reasonable enough. At half-yutitsixo'c0ek I on Thursday she left Mr. MaeGregor's I store and proceeded, although not directly, , I to Wall's bridge. After waiting there it I l short time a cab was driven up, on which I Hurry Pearson," ealrdri vel' for Mr. J nines I Ewing, and a stranger to her, wmvsittingr. I It has since been learned that the stranger was one Wm. Lowcs. who has, been tttTest, I ed as one mixed up in the outrage. Lewes at once jumped of the cob at the bridge, and, addressing Miss Carr, stated that he supposed she was the young lady he was sent for. and invited her to get in the cab. She, suspecting nothing wrong. ut once I complied with the request, and was driven around Mr. G'ow's bush, across the bridge to G ow's mills, and as far as Sullow's black. smith shop. on the corners of Wellington and G'ordon-streeCs, where the horses were drawn partly up. and Pearson jumped off. Lowes drove the cab on until nearly in front of the skating rink on Wellington- street, where F. Sturdy and his (brighter Louise were standing, one on each side of the carriage and entered it. The fact of the parties arranging that one should take each side of the cab prevented her making her escape. As soon " they entered the cob the acre-med, And Sturdy at once roughly threw her back Ind ordered her to i be quiet.

Thiepu-tie- ulu portion of the tale we: learned from Mr. Stnll. “in Carr in her ltatement goes on to any that she was driven along Surrey and Neeve streets. end the York Road, Sturdy all the time holding her beck on the seat, so that she could not give the alarm. They were driven over the Victoria. Bridge, and when in front of Mr. F. Me. Quillan's house, she succeeded in giving n loud cry for help. Sturdy here stated that he was merely going to take her around the block. when they would be driven to Beech grove, the Sheriff‘s residence. When she saw parties " McQuillian's, the screamed. "Let me out! Let me out l" She was howwor, immediately gagged with e. handkerchief, and when the driver i saw some of the parties corningtowerds the road, he urged his horses on at alively pace, thus escaping from being headed off. At this juncture Sturdy asked his daughter1 I if she had her handkerchief ready. She at1 once produced it with a. bottle; and then , Indie tried to put the handkerchief over Miss r ICnrr's mouth. She. torrified at being . i drugged, as she thought she was about to l Ibo. struggled violently, so much so in fact . I that she prevented the handkerchief being . 'plai-rd to her nostrils. Sturdy then asked . for a bottle, of wine, which was produced, l I but Miss C arr, being afraid to drink refus- , ed. The daughter attempted to force her, Irwhvn she knocked the bottle to one side . Innd spilled some of it. Sturdy then said, _ I "You hold her, Louise, and I will stop her . sereatuh.ir,." He then brutally forced the F , bottle in her mouth, and grasping her E n no forced her to swallow some of the I liquor. This terrible work by a strong man , on a weak. defeuceless girl was continued, I and win-n it was found the only way her surmiiiis could be stooped when approach- I' ing any house was to gag her, a handker- l chief was forced into her mouth by Sturdy, i and pressed to such an extent as to cut herl i tongue againt her teeth. The journey was I continued towards the Pauineh Plains, I and turning the Brock grad was struck at Hamilton's Corners. A out a mile unda 1 half below Adam Weir's a carriage, driven by a son of 'Sturdy, came up, and Miss Carr I was dragged from the cab to the carriage, at the some time uttering piteons cries for mercy, praying to be taken back home. When she was put hack into the carriage Still-dye sltiugiitc"r drove, wnno mutiny l himself sat in the back seat holding Miss I Carra prisoner. Lowes and young Sturdy afterwards returned to Guelph with the cab. and the abducting partivs proceeded to Hamilton, continuing the gagging, as they thought it was ncccossnry. Hamilton was reached about half past two on Friday morning. and tho party drove to a small house in a secluded prvrt of the suburbs, in which there was no furniture except a bed. I a washstand, and a cooking store. OnI Friday afternoon the daughter returned to Guelph, and went Hamilton again on, Saturday morning. Miss Carr was kept in tho house by Sturdy until Saturday at _ noon, he threatened to kill or destroy her unless she consented to marry him. She was forcibly thrown on the tioor and wine forced down her throat. This cruel con-l duet was repeated until she was thoroughly. ' exhausted, and when she consented, after‘ her life being threatened, she asked him to i wait a few hours. He answered, "No, :you expect to be rescued. I am not going to the pcnctcntiary for you. If nothing;I [ else can be done. we will both die." Sturdy l _ also told her that he was not afraid oil4 1oing found out. The painter that (ll'm'el _ the cub was sworn not to divulge, and the ' i only other persons that knew anything I l about the affair were members of his own I l family. He finally took a small phinl out I 'of his pocket. and after telling her that [there was enough poison in it to kill six I _ men, said if she would not go to the minis. I l ter's at once and be married, he would l force her to drink half of the liquid, and he ', could drink the other half. She, almost 1 demented, consented, and along with Sturdy and his daughter proceeded to the I residence of Rev. D. ll. Fletcher, where 1 they were married. Sturdy's laughter and I the ministcr's sister were the witnesses to the ceremony. Miss Carr states that the 1 reason she did not refuse to be married was she was afraid Sturdy would kill her, and if she should tell the minister, he would kill them all. She was afterwards ( taken back to the cottage in the suburbs, 1 Sturdy's daughterugain leaving for Guelph. 1 On Saturday afternoon Constables Hart 4 and Conway were despatched, with a. wu- 4 rent. on the trail of Sturdy. they suc- , ceeded in tracing him as far as Hamilton, 1 where they found that he had the team of I horses he had drove down with ambled at 1 the American Hotel stables.

A number of witnesses having been examined, the prisoner was fully committed to stand his trial at the first court of competent jurisdiction at Owen Sound. He was accordingly placed in charge of Constable Loui- Youngs, of Ayton, who started in a conveyance with his prisoner on Saturday evening for Owen Sound accompanied by special constable MeTavish. When they had arrived at a point some fourteen miles above Durham, King jumped from the wagon handcuffed though he was, snapped his fingers at the constables and disappeared in the adjoining wood.

In connectionwith the abduction of Miss Carr, by Fred. Sturdy, the Hamilton Spec- tator of Tuesday evening says; “The Rev. Mr. Fletcher. in an interview with our re. porter, says that there was no circumstance connected with the marriage ceremony, which in the slightest degree excited his suapicio'n of their being any irregularity. _ He was asked in the forenoon of Saturday to perform the marriage ceremony, and agreed _ to do so if the parties would come to his house, and not too late in the afternoon, as it was Saturday, and he had to prepare for the service on the succeeding Sabbath. One o'eloek was agreed upon as the tide, and a few minutes after that hour a car- riage drove to the door containing Sturdy and two ladies, all the surroundings giving token of respectability. The marriage license was found to be quite regular, and all the questions which the het requires should he asked were asked and answered withoutthe sightest hesitation. There was nothing in the young lady's appearance or manner which indicated anything d'ffer. out from a willing bride. She accepted the marriage eertifleate smilingly, and took an interest even in having her name properly spelled.

In the fisst, I place let us consider the requisite qtmlifi- 1 cations of a member of a county council. i He is expected to have receivodu thorough i training in municipal legislation, to have i served in the various departments of inun- 1 icipal government. or otherwise possess a l l practical knowledge of the duties pcrtain- i 1 ing to each department; to be qualified to 1 l act as chief adviser, solicitor, trainer, and K administrator of laws to govern his muni- i cipality; in short to be. a perambulating l digest of municipal law. He is held rc- l sponsible for the policy displayed by the {local as well as the county council and compelled to face his constitutonts annually i to receive their censure or approval. To i qualifv himself for this position. he is obliged to spend a great deal of time and perform a great deal of labor for which he receives no compensation. tieeondly, his duties at the County Board lire to assist in legislating for a population of say 70,000 _ inhabitants in all matters affecting their l local interests; to provide the ways and means by way of direct taxation. annually l to meet the expense of Criminal Justice, i Crown witnesses, J aries, Judicnl, Public School Inspectors.

It is also his duty to ass’st in ':druitiug on the legislative tressclhrard the out needed reforms and atutmdtrwuts in the municipal and other laws of our county. for the better guidance, of the Provincial and Dominion Legislatures; to pertorm the duty, so to speak, of the pioneer or ad- vance guard in gleaning and forwarding requisite information for the purpose of securing good and wholesome legislation for the people. The whole business of the county is usually performed in three short sesssions not exceeding on the average five days each, being about the same amount of time employed for the transaction of business for an average township, or the consideration by the Local Legislature of the Supply Bill, C antral Prison investiga- tion or Agricultural College and Model Farm enquiry. From a fiuanciul point let us now consider the pay to members. or indrany as you have been pleased to style it, in comparison with that received by other of1ieiais under the provincial en- aetrneuts or the established customs of the country.
