He did not desire to step the operations of the Act. whatever he might consider its dangers. and he did not oppcce the Bill because it proposed to keep the Act alive. but he objected to it because of the amount demanded. The Govern- ment ought to have asked Parliament for a limited grant. which would suffice to enable them to continue the operations of the Act until the spring. when Parliament could reconsider the whole matter. The ()pprsi. M would cheerfully agree to such an dunes. out the Government. instead of taking that course. produced a Bill involv. ing Parliament in a fresh ep rovel of its land purchase policy. (Cries 0 beer. hear.) Ir. Gladstone continued. stating that it was the manifest design of the Govern- ment to withdraw the subject of frish land from the View of Parli'ainent for several years. (Cheers) That was nottheccurse which could be allowed. The Opposition was not lnsenaible to the value of land crehnee. He did not desire to see the andlords or any other class removed in a body. He wanted to see them not less but egrest deal more Irish than they were, and to see them resident instead of absen- tces. The principle of the previous Land Act was totally different from the Ash- bourne Act. under which £5,000.000 were obtained. apparently as a precedent for another £5.000.000. thus drawing the House by slow degrees into a system unier which there was no escape from putting the land into the hands of the State. melt. ing the State the immediate landlord with- out properguarantsea liuwdlflrronlwae tho proposal from the Liberal side, when Mr. 'I‘revelynn laid down the principle that tin- Government should not tick this unllimptl taxpayers to advance purchase mom-y unless the taxpayers in relan‘i evince-d confidence in the tenants by or} .ring local guarantees. fie (Gladstone) had always objected to the iishbournsAct as giving tho lnitistivs of purchases to the lsiidlord.whoni he mrzsiderod second. es the limesauts ought to have the initiative.

What reesou bad the Govern- ment for refuslng with such tenacity to deal with the arrears? Were they the means if ensuring the servitude of tin- tenants? (Parnellite cheers) It was or tein that this Bill would giVs the landlords n leverage to bring up rents. while it would enable only a handful of tenants to acquire holdings. Certainly it woulJassist the Government in their land purchase scheme. but under what inadequate and precarious security for the repayment of advances l Doubtlese the lrieh tenants could be praised as scrupulous in the pay- ment of fair route. but if another collapse of agricultural prices occurred the farmers might be unable to pay their instalments under the Bill.

She led each child up to the ghastly corpse and. still with that awful ilencc which had marked her from the beginning of her bereavement. led them away to the little but which sheltered them in the pest. No attention was paid to her by those who were bnsv with the ill-ad and dying. but about midnight a cry of “ Fire " from the village of Frontenac gethered a crowd of workers from the mine to the streets. it was seen that the Berthnne cabin was in flunes. and willing heads were soon at work to save the inmates.

His Lordship also put up for sale several presentation copies of books and a lot of other volumes.

Eng.. a few years ago, bringing with him his daughter Lily. a beautiful and accomplished young lady. For three years Mr. Ppwell travelled for Cadbury Bros. after which he purchased a farm near Dudewml. but not being an experienced farmer the profits of his labor were inade- . goals to meet the wants of his family. Lily then decided to go out and earn her own livelthood.nnd thus lighten the burden on her father's shoulders. Although she was of an amiable disposition. she was unaccustomed to the restraints placed upon one in the situation to which the had been reduced. and as a conse- quence. she did not remain any great length of time in one lace. She was here last spring searching or a situation. when she met George Allen. a mill-owner of llan~ ville. who engaged her as a domestic. She remained in his house but a short time. her excuse for leaving being that he had made improper proposals to her. She then secured employment in the house of one of Allen's neighbors. where she remained until one dark night a few Weeks later. when she was waylaid on a lonely road and murdered. her body afterwards being dragged across a field and thrown into a small millpond. The murderer. whoever he was. evidently attempted to outrage the poor girl. who struggled in defence of her honor and who. being unable to maintain the unequal light. was finally overcome and ruthlessly choked to death. The murderer then attempted to conceal the evidences of his terrible crime by throw. ing the body into the pond. Suspicion pointed to Allen. who. with his mistress. Algis Wot-then. were arrested at Coaticook. on October (list. and lodged in jail here. It was alleged that Allen had induced Miss Powell to accompany him home for im- moral purposes. that she had repulsed him. and that determined to accomplish his fiendish purpose. be had weylaid her and in the struggle killed her. It was also believed that he was leavingthe country when oa lured at Coaticook.

Serious Rows in Brooklyn Between Police and litrth Car Employees. A last (Thursday) night's New York despetch says: The striking street car emplc use in Brooklyn rioted this morning.

Twelve mounted policeman and a patrol waggon containing nine smut-rs aclnd as escort. The Vehicle proceeded mtnout obstructiontoMyrtle avenue. when atro- mendons body of strikers endsympathixers filled the street. They stocd on the track and surrounded the car. refusing togive way. The officers charge-d on the rtowd and dispeer them several film-s. but the ricters followed the car. throwing stones and other missiles. At Flushing avenue a large Waggon was placed on the track. In the meantime the crowd increased to enor mcus proportions. Hundreds of yelling and shrieking men stood on the streets. asking the officers to come on and fight them. Again and again the officers charged the mob. but it was like trying to break a heavy stone well. They would not yield an inch. A perfect shower of stones. rocks and clubs descended on the heads of the blurcoats. The police did great work and many of the rioters were carried off the scene with cracked heads, bleeding faces and badly injured limbs. Si'l‘p‘t. {lotion was severely injured by being struvk in the face with an immense rock. {be same rock, after injuring the sergeant. struck the driver of the car. a man named Hoffman. and also injured him sewroly. At Gwynnett street. where the Loricner line brenchrs off. the mob succeeded in in. irg up the switch. and the attempt to the car any fur- ther was abandoned The iolice left the car at the mercy of the mob and began to charge in cement. The mounted officers drove their horses into the crowd. and many were trampled underfoot. After clubbing the crowd until they grew tired. they devoted themselves to the task of arresting the ringleadcrs. Hugh Garrett. John llurko and six others were taken into custody. At half past- 10 o'clock a car was starlet. from the stable at Park and Nostrand avenues. One hundred icemen. twenty. five of them mount . surrounded the vehicle. They had recorded only-afew blocks when a mob o frentichcwllng men advanced upon them. hurling all kinds of mlePilr-a in the air. lns tor Reilly ordered a charge. and the big body of policemen swept down the street like a cyclone. driving eventhing before them. Right and left they whacked their long sticks on the heads of the riotere. scatter- ing them. The mounted men drove into the mob. trampling upon them fearfnlly. Still the riots-rs rallied. The stones. bricks. mud and clubs convinced telly through the air and many officers were badly injured. Finally a last charge was made by the police and the mob was dispersed. Six men were nrnsled. At ten minutes past ll o‘olmk another car was started from the Neetrand avenue stables The mob made a feeble attempt to reform its lines. and some of the leaders brgen to roll heavy boulders on the track to retard the progress of the car.
