^ i} GKA5D TRUNK EAILWAY. Sir Ueury Tyler'a Speuch at the Hulf- Vearly M«etin(f Yesteriliiyâ€" The Double TrackluK-St. Clair Tuuuel-1'he C.H.K. Competition. A London cablegram of last (Thursday) night's date says : The half-yearly meeting of the Grand Trmik was held to-day at tlie Cannon Street Hotel, Sir Henry Tyler presiding. There was a large attendance. The Chairman, before moving the adop- tion of the report, referred to the great loss the company had sustained by the death of Sir Charles Young, one of the directors, and was sure it would be the vriah of the meeting that on behalf of the directors and shareholders he should in fitting terms express their sympathy for Lady Young in her bereavement. .4 OUEAT IMPUOVKMENT. Kdviewing the company's history for the past half year, Sir Henry said they had rapidly recovered from the disastrous effects of competition and were now making satisfactory progress. The win- ter of 188ti-7 had been an abnor- mally severe one in Canada, and the competition facing them constantly was increasing ; yet, so far, they had main- tained and even improved their position. The results of the past half-year indicated a revival even beyond that which took place in the memorable year lti«3. They had carried more passengern and a greater quantity of goods than in any previous half' year, and at the same time, despite the unusually heavy snowfall, had reduced the working expenses to 70 per cent. The effect of the Inter-State Commerce Law had not yet been fully experienced, but as far as the local Canadian trallic went they were not, of course, affected by the Act. They had lost passenger traffic to the Northwest in conse<}uence of the competi- tion of the Canadian Pacitti, but only to a moderate extent. They had also lost some traffic from the Baltimore A Ohio line and from the Central Pacific, but had been able to make the losses good in other directions. Their Pullman cars were e<iual to any run- ning in America, and much superior to those on the continental railways in Europe. lOMl-KTmo.N IN CA.NA1>A. They had met increased uompetitiou be- tween Montreal and Peterboro' to a greater extent than anywhere else, yet at those points they had taken more traffic in and oat during the half year than ever before. They had lost Mr. Sijuiree' hog traffic, and in the last few weeks had temporarily lost the dressed beef traffic, but he thought the quarrel would only bo a lover's quarrel and that they would get the traffic back. Add- ing together all the receipts from their lines, they had ill, 500 more than in the •orresponding period last year. In the present half-year they had so far done better than in the tirst half, and up to the latest acoounta bad an increase of tl 10,000 in the gross receipts over the corresponding period in 18W3. - , TUK IIOUBUNO or THK LINK between Montreal and Toronto was an im- portant work, and would add to the safety and do away with delays and enable them properly to compete with the Canadian Pacitic. It was not their intention, how ever, to proceed in any way so aa to hampvr their linancial resources to the smallest de- gree. They hoped to carry on tliis groat work without encumbering the resources of the company. The construction of the Montreal station had been delayed, but the directors were anxious to hurry the work on before winter. The city was now doing what it ought to have done before, namely, making a dyke to keep out the river. Negotiations were proceeding to enable the company to place their rails along the dyke. Last winter was a most e.xtraordi nary one. as he had said, and it was, there- fore, all the more creditable to their officers that they had been able to reduce the work- ing expenses to 70 per cent. THK CANAIUAN P.\CirlC. The Chairman then referred to the ex- tensions recently made or now in progress by the Canadian Pacific, characterising as most extraordinary the action of the Canadian Covernment in subsidizing that company to make a line across the State of Maine. After their past experii-iu-e, the competition of the Canadian Pacific had no longer any great terrors for them ; yet it re(|uired constant watchfulness, and was not to be undervalued. The discovery of gas in a heading has interfered with the construction of the St. Clair tunnel. The main tunnel is now about to becomuieuced. The probable cost will bo half a uiillion pounds, but he was couBdeut the tunnel would be a saving and not a burden on the company's resources. The result of an arrangement with the Atcheson, Topeka A Santa Fe Company at Chicago would be that the Grand Trunk would benelit 1 17.100 yearly, the route to San Francisco being 3,357 miles, compared with 3,5;w miles by the Canadian Pacific. The object of the Grand Trunk Act, which the meeting was now asked to confirm, was simply to save i;ti,000 yearly by purchasing, for redemption, prior securities bearing a higher rate of interest than the 4 per cent, debenture stock. This Act and previous powers for the conversion of securities would enable them to save altogether 1115,000 yearly. .\lthough they were going to spend money liberally, he believed he could promise they would have to pay no more interest on preference charges on tho.Jlstot December next than they did on the same date last year. He moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Uobert Young seconded the motion. Mr. Landon criticized some of the items of the report, which was then unanimously adopted. Kesolutions were afterwards approved authorizing the exercise of the remaining borrowing powers obtained in the Act of 18B4. . . • liuHiuesK Troubles.

A Chicui(i) lluuk FreMident Fired uu by MU i>t«|>-iuu -The Wounds Futjilâ€" The AHHUx.sin'it Hottve-A Woman with a Keiuurkahle Career. A Chicago despatch says : In the throng of people at the church door of one of the most fashionable congregatiotia in Chicago, a gray haired millionaire biuk president was remorselessly shot down yesterday by his stepson, to avenge or shield a woman charged with continued adultery. The woman was Mrs. Meeckie Eawson, wife of the banker shot and mother of the assail- ant. The banker is Stephen W. Hawson. President of the Union Trust Company, of Chicago. William Lee, aged 17, is the step- sou. Banker Rawson, with five bullets in his body and apparently in a dying condi tion, was hastily picked off the blood- spattered curb and bundled into one of the score of carriages that bad been waiting for the wealthy worshippers. Young Lee, with the empty and still smoking revolver in hand, was as hurriedly thrown into a strikingly different conveyance, the waggon of the police patrol. Young Lee had been seen fur half an hour previous pacing the sidewalk fronting the Third Presby- terian Church, of which Banker Kawson has long been a leading light, and was still an honored member, notwithstanding that he had been charged by his wife with perjury andoth t offencei. He, on the other hand, alle^^ed that she, although prominent in society and a beauti ful woman in appearance, was really a dis- reputable, blasphemous, devilish tempered adventuress who coveted only his money. For a year or more the two have been fighting each other in the divorce courts, and Within a week the banker has filed against her additional charges of adultery. Little attention had been paid to young Lee as he dtalked backward and forward past the church entrance, lie was lost in the crowd when the congregation began to come out. Mr. Dawson was about to step to his carriage when suddenly cauit- tlie sharp crack of a revolver, fulloved by a deep groan. A din of screams began, but subsided almost instantly. Lee was seen to (|uickly, but coolly, steady his pistol with his left hand, while with his right he again and again pulled the fatal trigger. With a stided cry " I'm killed" the aged millionaire fell prostrate on the stone Hags, upturning his agonized white face at the cold, set countenance of his stepson. Lee, turning to an officer who had just appeared on the scene, hoarsely whispered, " Tak" me to jail, quick," and it seemed scarcely a moment till the patrol waggon bore him away. When the dying banker reached his home six physicians had been called. They probed for the bullets, and found that all had lodged in the legs or arms, save one (ha- entered near the smallof the back, and as nearly as could be judged had plunged tl <ugh bis abdomen. If his life was saved it would be little short of a miracle. A reporter found Mrs. Hawson at the Continental Hotel, where she occupies apartments, shortly after the tragedy, and upon being asked what she had to say in regard to the affair replied, " 1 am glad of it. He deserved all he got. I intended to do it myself." Lee declared he had nothing to say except that be was entirely rssponiible for what he did. The career of theyoung man's mother is in many respects remarkable. She has been married several times, was divorced once, and as a department clerk in the Government service at Washington is understood to have been concerned in some decidedly sensational incidents. She first became acquainted with Hawson about five years ago, and their marriagesoou followed. Hawson is U5 vears old. TBLE&P.APHIC SUMMAl.Y. WHY AM I A HKATHKN The *.^0 ror Chlnene Leeturer Taxed Coiuluic to CMua«l». A Kingston despatch says : On Satur- day, before leaving for New York, Wong Chin Foo, the unconvertible Chinaman, ventilated his grievances against the Cana- dian Government. It had, through the Customs collector at Suspension Bridge, imposed upon hira the tax of 950 provided by the Anti-Chinese Immigration Act passed some time ago. Wong Chin Foo has been about fifteen years a resident of the United States. He claims that for thirteen years he has been an American citizen, being naturalized at Grand Hapids. Mich., in 1H74. Ho had been a frequent visitor to Canada ever since the existence of the Act referred to, and until the pre- sent he has not suffered by its enforcement. He says that on arriving at Clifton the other day while on a lecturing tour the Customs officer sized him up and declared that he was dutiable. Wong Chin Foo professed to ho ignorant of the law and took the action of the officer as a joke, but the officer was not inclined to be at all funny and intimated that upoH the payment of the assess- ment depended his detention or progress. Now Wong Chin Foo, being quite chatty and possessed of an oily tongue, he set about showing the officer the mistake he had made. The officer was not to be sub- dued in that way. He had learned that Wong was a Chinaman and that was enough. " I didu't deny." said Wong Chin, " that I had been a Chinaman, but I said I was now an American and claimed the rights and privileges of American citizen- ship. I made affidavit of the facts before the American Consul. I suggested thatt New York World be asked for proof of my identity and all to no effect. I was told to pay the demand or return to New York. I was at first disposed to return, but I had made engagements for two lectures and was bound to fulfil them, and so I was duly appraised, tagged and taxed," showing the receipt for $!>0. " Yes," he went on, " S50 for one Chinaman weighing leas than 100 lbs., and so more than .50c. per lb." Wong Chin said he would lay the case before the American Government when he wont homo and he looked for the return of the money. The New York Socialist leaders on Sat- urday obtained from the police a permit for 10,000 members of their body to parade to Union S({uare on the occasion of Mi B lay night's meeting. Mr. Forwood's scheme for placing all the departments of the British navy on a sound commercial basis about to be sub mitti'd to the Chancellor of the Kxcluquer, if approved, will at once be adopted, and will save the country £30,000 annually. The London West diphtheria cases are all on the mend, and the early opening of the South End school is now looked for. Benjamin Aluswailt, arrested at Toronto for stealiug a team of horses in Prince Edward county, was sentenced at Pictonto five years in the penitentiary. Mr. Willis Russell, proprietor of the St. Louis hotels and for 43 years a resident of (Quebec, died on Saturday night after one day's illness of inflammation of the bowels. Vaillancourt, accused of killing his wife at Quebec, has been awjuitted. The Grand Jury has returned a true bill for perjury against Mr. B. Trudel, Chief of the River Police. The Government have, it is said, received an offer from some English contractors to build a railway between Prince Edward Island and the mainland for a subsidy of >'200,000 a year for fifty years. An old woman named Poison, residing at Mimico, committed suicide on Saturday afternoon by taking a dose of strychnine. As deceased was in comfortable'circum- stances no cause can be assigned for the deed.

The first arrest under the Charlton Seduction Aot which has been made in the neighborhood of Ottawa was effected on Saturday evening by Detective Harry Head. In accordance with instnutioiis received the detective proceeded to I'ubileii, where he arrested Thom*s Morris, of Cum berland, who was then on his wav to Bouuecbere, on a chirge of having seduced a girl under the age of 21. Bishop Walsh, assisted by U.'v. Dean Murphy, of Irishtown ; Uuv. Dr. Kilrov.of Stratford , Rev. Father B. .1. Waters, of Goderiuh ; Ruv. Father Joseph Kunnedy, of London, and Rev.

For fifty years he was known as the strongest man in Elgin. He measured 41) inches around the naked chest. Mr. Campbell was born in Argyllshire. Scot- laud, and was the last oneof the old Scotch pioneers of the county. His children are among the wealthiest residents in the ooimty. On Friday night some person or persons pried a board of Tallack .t Collins' waggon shop window at Dorchester station, raised the sash and abstracted a heavy chisel therefrom. Crossing the street, thev gained entrance into Dean's tailor shop and helped themselves to fifteen suits of winter underclothing, a suit of new clothes, a pair of new trousers and a portion of another suit, of the value of $50. Arthur Fryco. a barber, of Luoan, was enjoying a quiet game of cards with Thomas Anderson the other day. He claims that .\nder8on played the tricks of Ah Sin. and he rose in his wrath, seized the stakes and proceeded to mark his dis- approval of Anderson's conduct on his head with a pokor. The latter could not sue the joke in this, and caused Fryco to be arrested to answer a charge of assault and wounding. John James Duckworth, aged 25 yearn, a bridge builder residing at St. Lambert, Que., and son of Ml, Duckworth, thebrnige inspector, was in the Cirand Trunk yards. Point St. Charles, on Saturday morning about 3.15 o'clock waiting for a freight train which was about to cross the bridge, when in walking along the track his foot caught ill a frog. Just then an engine cainti a'ung in an op|>osite direction and knocked him down, cutting him into seven pieces. The coroner was notified and will hold an inquest. The cash in the V . .S. Treasury now amounts to 8658,734, liHU. A fearful epidemic of typhoid fever is raging at Iron Mountain, Mich. There are over 100 people down with the disease, and from one to seven funerals occur daily. The local physicians are ill and exhausted, and medical aid has been summoned from (.Uiicftgo. The story telegraphed from Memphis to Chicago about the attempted wrecking of the President's train by burning a trestle is hooted and laughed at by the correspond- ents who have been with the President (luring his trip. They aay nothing of the kind occurred at any time. The convention of aerial Reformers pre- sided over by Mrs. Belva Lockwood has been in session in Springfield, 111., for the past few days and has organized a new political party, adopting a lengthy plat- form and naming a nittioiial committee. The name of the new organization is the " Industrial Reform p»rty." Among the participants in the coDvention was George Francis Train. On Saturday night John Oavis, a laborer, of Gouverneur, N. Y, aged 0,5, in company with his wife, got on a spree. About 10 o'clock when their son went home he found his mother on the floor dead, having been stau'«d in the breast with a butcher's knife. The father was in bed asleep. It is supposed that the old man stabbed his wife in a drunken cjuarrel. The two were alone in the house at the time. Fully 300 citizens started out from Charleston, W. Va., on Saturday morning after the robbers who murdered Mr. Ryan near Walton, Roan County, last Thursday night. After the houne was robbed and the old man was shot, the robbers, thirty in number, oompelled the family to send him upstairs and to get breakfast for them The officers and citizens ran into the rob- bers on Saturday nitht at George Duff's residence, eight miles from Soseionville, and wore warned to keap off by the robbers, who had taken refuge n the house, fitted port holes, and made other arrangements for protection. The nuiderers were fired upon and George Duff, jun., was killed. Jake Coon was captured and lynched. Five of the officers and oitizcns in the battle were wounded. There are about twenty robbers in the gang. R. M. Uuff, George Drake and 1< rank Shambling are prisoners and await tho pleasure of the Vigilance Committee for their disposal. The vigi- lante are still after the robbers. WITH THE CUILDRKM. itrit;ht Fancies and Odd ^peeeheA Little Ones. A PERBONAl, MINKlcriSKME.NT. Little Miss Washburn wandered quite a distance from her country home at a well- known summer resort, not many weeks ago, and couldn't find her way back. But â- ihe was not a bit dismayed. She imme- diately lifted ap her voice and shouted to the full capacity of her lungs : • I'm Grace Washburn and I'm lost ! I'm Grace Washburn and I'm lost !"

The employing printers of New York whose men are on strike have advertised for 1.01)0 non-union compositors, and they will make a strong fight against the union. A Uazleton, Pa., despatch says that the striking minors and mine laborers have not received the assistance that was proir ised them by the Knights of Labor, and the probability is that the strike will soop collapse. From 2.500 to 3,000 miners are on strike in Southern Indiana and there is a oosl famine. A oommnnication from Canadian Knights requesting the appointment of a legislative committee of three for Canada was referred to the Committee on Legis- lation. The uight-hoar question in the cigar trade was brought up. The sentiment of the convention was that as eight hours is the rule of the International Cigarmakers' Union it would not be right for members of the Knights of Labor employed in this trade to work longer hours. It was decided not to issue the label to those who worked longer hours. It is stated that the convention yestordajr afternoon voted to continue the boycott oa the New York Sun. About 5350.000 has been paid in at treal under the Business Tax Law. Mob- Do 70U fool dull.
