That's What Bade Sam Thinks Hr. BtAtell
Doing.
• A Chicago despatch says: Treasury
Agent Scanlan said yesterday that he' had
received advices from his inspectors, who
are now watching the Capadianborder, that
there were 10,000 Celestials in Vancouver
and along the line of the Canadian Pad&
Railway, who are suffering for the want of
food. Chinamen in unprecedented numbers
are being landed at Vancouver, said Mr.
Scanlan, and they are unable to obtain em-
ployment or food. The vast number of
arrivals, he believed, was the result of a
notice spread among the Chinese by an in-
fluential Chinaman who returned home, that
it is very easy to get into the United States'.
He believed also the Canadian Government
was assisting the Celestials into the country
in order to get $50 per head which they are
compelled to pay when they enter Canada.
The Government is also expecting some ex-
clusive legislation next winter, and -now de-
sires to get in all the Chinamen it poseibly
can. The big rush, if not stopped, will re-
sult in untold auffer.ing among the new
arrivals. a

Wrecked on the Columbus and Western rail-
road near Goodwater yesterday. As the
train rounded a curve within a few yards of
G-oodwin creek the engineer saw the trestle
approach to the bridge on fire. It was too
late to stop, and he pulled the throttle open
and attempted to cross' by sheer force of
speed. The engine and two eats got across
safely, but the third went down nearly fifty
feet and the others followed. The rear -car
was the caboose with Conductor Rice and
Flagman Crawford on board. Both men
,were killed and their bodies burned with the
cars. Rice leaves a wife and •two children
in Columbus. Crawford was single and also
lived in Columbus. In his efforts to save

The Attempted Coup la Paraguay.
A Buenos Ayres despatch says : Addi-
tional accounts have hewn i eceived here of '
the'recent attempts at revolution in Para-
guay. The rebels were led by Major Vera
and Deputy Machin, 'of the 'Liberal party.
They made a desperate attack, on the bar-
racks occupied by the regiment commanded
by Col. Mino. For a few minutes the fight-
ing was very fierce, and then Vera and
Machin both fell. The' loss of their leader
demoralized the rebels, and they broke and
fled, The Government forces also met with
heavy loss', Colonels Mino and &Sara, be-
sides six men, being among the killed. Tho
result of the fight completely settles the at-
tempted revolution.

a quarrel followed. According to Coy's
story Whalenstepped outside and re-

then struck Coy with his fist, knocking
him, into a corner. Whalen then seized the
axe and struck twice at Coy, who grappled
with him, and after a hard struggle sue-

except on, payment of, a head tax of $50
each. The marshal says he refused to pay
the money, and that the Chinamen could
not. He therefore brought them back, and
wired the Attorney -General that he would
hold them in custody until he received
further inetruntions. This new state of
affairs, which practically prevents the
Government from sending out of the country
any Chinese who enterfrom Canada without
paying the head tax required by the law of
that country, embarrasses the authorities
very much. The Attorney -General said
this afternoon that he had not answered the
marshaTs telegram for the siniple—reason
that he did not know how to instruct him
to proceed. It is believed by many that the
only solution of the trouble is by legislative
enactment.
GRAND TRENK REPORT.
Good Prospects Ahead — The St. Clair
. Tunnel—New Directors.
A London cable says : The Grand Trunk
half -yearly report was issued last night, in
view of the meeting on the 30th instant.
The directors admit the disappointing
results of the half -year's operations, the
net traffic receipts being £471,775, as com-
pared with £549,469 for the preceding half-
year; and the net revenue receipts being
£502,288, as compared with £591,891 forthe
previous half-year. The decline is caused
by the low freight rates and low fares,
and the deficient harvest of last year.
This • year's .harvest, however, is so
excellent in quality and quantity as to as-
sure improved traffic until this time next
year. The prospects of the company are
more hopeful than for some time past. The
condition of the road is such as to enable
the company to earn increased traffic. The
directors feel justified in expecting a general
improvement in the position of the company.
The St. Clair tunnel greatly redounds to
the credit of the company, and will be of
immense advantage to the system. Two
agreements in reference to the Waterloo
Junction Railway will be submitted to the
meeting: Mr. George Allan has been
elected a director, in place of Mr. Campbell,
resigned, and Mr. Alexander Hubbard,
deputy chairman of the Great Western Rail,
way of England, will be proposed in place,
of Mr. Dickson, deceased.

Suicide oA the Ex -united States Consul at
St. John, N. B.
A St. John, despatch says : James Mur-
ray, ex -United -States Cousul at St. John,
returned from a trip to New York this
morning." About 12 o'clock his wife was
startled to hear a loud report from her hes-
heed's bedroom. She rushed to the room,
where a horrible sight met her. Lying on
his back on the floor in a pool of blood,
his nerveless hand still clutching a smoking
Winchester rifle, was her husband. Doctors
were on the scene in a few minutes, but
could do nothing. He had laid his plans
for selfelestruction with considerable de-
liberation. He hadarisen from his bed and,
without stopping to dress, had procured the
rifle from his son's room. Going back to
his own room and standing in front of the
mirror, lie had held the muzzle of the rifle
with his left hand andpulled the trigget
with his right hand. The bullet entered
under the right ear and came out over the
top of the left ear. •

CARPENTER SEICIDED.
A Victim of Insomnia, He Took Chloroform
While Insane.
A London cable says: The world of
science was painfully startled to -day when
it became knoivn that Philip Herbert' Car-
penter, M. 4., F. R. S., the- distinguished
scientist end high authority upon deep sea
dredgieg, Whose death was announced yes-
terday, • had committed suicide. , At an
inquest to -day, Rev. Dr. H%le, father-in-
law of the deceased, testified that he found
Mr. Carpenter dead in bed with a bottle of
chloroform on a table by his side. The
dead man held in his hand an empty tum -
bier, which had apparently contained
chloroform, and on the table was a sheet of
paper, upon which the deceased had writ-
ten : " I cannot any longer endure the load
of insanity which I have borne for the at
three weeks. I have ruined myself and left
my wife and children beggars through my
madness." Dr. Hale said his son-in-law
had lately suffered from insomnia, and that
he made investments which preyed upon
his mind. It was also shown that madness
existed in the dead m'an's family, and a
verdict in accordance with the facts was
rendered.

Any one but a man wouldknow that it is

dress I got an extra yard or so for this very
purpose.
Whalen then seized the club, and as he tried
to strike Coy, the latter struck him "th
the axe, smashing in his skull. Whalen
fell dead. Coy finally took the axe and cut
Whalen's throat,'tomake sure of his death,
then dragged the body into the yard, and
left it while he cut the blood-stained pieces
out of the carpet and bedding and burned
• them. He then went into the yard and cut
the legs•from Whalen's body with the axe,
and carried the remains up to the mountain
and buried them. Coy says he killed Whalen
in self defence, and,exonerates Joe Kellyand
Mrs. Coy, saying they knew nothing about
the c-fince. -.When deiced's:bent how hileame
to have so ranch money immediately after
Whalen's disappearance he became reticent,
but filially said Whalen gave it to him in
consideration of his saying nothing about
his (Whalen's) intimacy kith Mrs. Coy.

Their Launching a Feature of a Great 'Bus -
titan Celebration.
A St. Petersburg despatch says : The
capital of Russia is en fete to -day, for the
Czar has declared that this, the 54th mud-
versary of the battle of Navarino, where, in
1827, the combined British, French and
Russian fleets, under Sir ,Edward Codting-
ton, the distinguished British admiral, anni-
hilated the Turkish and Egyptian navies,
should be celebrated with special pomp and
significance. The occasion for this special
celebration was the launching of three new
Russian ironclads—one of them, the Nav-
Akre), being a battleship of immense size
and power. These launchings took place
in the presence of all the foreign naval
attaches and crowds of people. Among the
spectators was Admiral Count Heyden, who
fought at the famous battle which is • being
so grandly celebreted. The launch of the
• new naval monster was successful, and there
is now floating ie these waters a barbette
battleship said to be at least equal in size,
strength and speed to anything of the' same
class possessed by any navy in the world.
The other two vessels launched to -day are
belted gun vessels, heavily arnied, ofecon-
siderable speed, and are designed for coast
defence purposes.
THE BEST JOKE.
Max O'Rell Brought , Joy to a Pittsburg
• Swain's Heart.
Max O'Rell tells this joke in his new book,
"A Frenchman in America":
As I was leaving Pittsburg I was ap-
proached by a young man who, after giving
me his card thanked me most earnestly for
my lecture of last night. In fact, he nearly
embraced- me. •
".I never enjoyed myself so much, in my
life," he said.
I grasped his hand.
"1 am glad," I replied, "that my humble
effort pleased you BO much. Nothing is
more gratifying to a lecturer than to know
he has afforded pleasure to his audience."
" Yes," he said, "it gave me immense
pleasure. You see,
I am engaged to be
ma -tried to a girl in town. All her family
went to your show, and I had 'the girl at
home all to myself. Oh, I had Such a good
time 1 Thank you so much 1 Do lecture
here again soon.'
And, after wishing me a pleasant journey,
he left me. I was glad to know I left at
least one friend and admirer behind me in
Pittsburg.

tion he said :
"Oh, Ill give you that."
The customer put his hand Ste his ear.
He is hard. of bearing and bad missed the
reply.
Can't you take something off of that ?"
he asked.
The dealer took pity on him.
"Yes," he said," call it ten ceints." And
the old man went home with a comfortable
sense of having driven a good trade. —Ken-

John Marshall, after being for years
afflicted with locomotor ataxy, supposed to
be incurable, and after having been paid
$1,000 from the Royal Templare as being
totally disabled for -life, was permanently
cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
• le ke...... Marshall may he seen on the

At No. 196 York street Mr.. W. T. Clark,
who is employed in Messrs. John Calder &
Co's. clothing manufactory, was seen at his
residence and was pleased with the oppor-
tunity of saying a good word for the remedy
that had put hen in a position to enjoy life
after •ten yearaof affliction. _ Mr. Clark ia a
yaung man of intelligence, and told the
story of his case in aninterest-
ing manner. " Ten years ago" he
said, " I got . a very heavy cold,
which , settled in the small of my
back and has ever since, up to a short time
ago, defied all the remedies I could hear of
and the skill of many doctors. At times I
was so, bad that I could not work and was
seldom free from pain, whether standing,
sitting, walking, or lyirig. The only thing
that gave me relief was an herb I got from'
an herbalist. For two weeks it relieved me
and then the pains returned. I got- more
herbs, but whether they were the same or
not, or whether they simply ceased
to operate I . can't say, but I got
no more relief from herbs. Turpentine
applied on hot cloths and taken internally
geveme relief for a little while, but I gave
that up too. Several doctors examined me
and said, ' Oh, it's nothing!' • They 'gave
me medicines which tbey kaid would make
it all right, but which didn't,' After almost
ten years of doctoring I came 'to the con-
clusion that I would never be cured, and
tried • to resign myself to my lot. • Some
Months ago 1 'went into the country to see
my father. He said to me, 'Will, I have
something here I want you to take—a bot
of Pink Pills, I' I replied to him
' You might as well throw them out the
doer.' '
' Take them for my sake,' Will, he said,
and I said I would do anything for him,
though I had no faith in them—' They are
\xa
not worth that,' I said, snapping my ngers. 1t
I took the box and really felt ter:
They gave me an appetite, at anyritte, and
lessened the pain. So I resolved to
continue them. After using three boxes
I stopped. That is over three weeks ago,
and I am now well and strong: The paha is
all gone and I do my work like a new man.
I am now working over -time until 10
o'clock, and stand it well., I have gained
in weight, and feel better every way. It
was no case'of faith cure with me, for I had
no faith in the pills at all: y mate at'
work, at my advice, took Pink Pills to
bald up hit system; and says he, is much
better ; he certainly looks it."'
" Yes," remarked Mr. Clark as the TIMES
reporter. was. withdrawing, •" y,ou may use
my neme, and if you see any one who has
any doubts as to the curing properties . of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills just send him to
me."
- Another Case.
Mr. James 'Wright, No. 129 Bay street
north, is another of the great army of wit-
nesses.. For a year he suffered from diabetes,
but was restored to health undea the atteu
tion of Dr. Anderson. ' Tho disease, how -
e'er, left behind it a fearful state of
nervousness, debility, lack of appetite,
sleeplessness and ringing noises in the' ears
and head, which at times almost drove Mr.
Wright frantic. From weighing 180 pounds
he came down to 118. He was well ac-
quainted with Mr. John Marshall and knew •
of his trouble. • Hearing of his cure
he decided to tryTir. Williams' Pink Pills
and did so in Juno hist. After taking one
'box, all these trouldesybegan-tp.mnish .and- -
eleven boxes completely cured him, appe-
tite returned and sweet sleep was no longer
a stranger to him. In tw.o months he re-
covered eighteen pounds of his lost fleshand
is still gaining. Mr. /Wright is confident
that the remedy will have the same effect
upon any one, who is afflicted as ho was, if
given a fair trial.
In connection with 'the wonderful cures
resulting from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, it must be gratifying to Canadians to
know that they are the discovery of a Cana-
dian doctor, a graduate of McGill College
and post graduate of Edinburgh•University.
Hitherto the great discoveries in medicine
have come to us from abroad, but Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have ,eonquered diseases
hitherto declared by the works of specialists
incurable, and have shed a new lustre on
Canadian medical science. What if claimed
for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is that they are
an unfailing blood builder and nerve tonic,
supplying the wants incident to over -work,
mental worry, or excessessof whatever nature.
They stimulate the system, build anew
the blood, and restore shattered nerves,
yeinoving the fruitful causes' of premature
'decay and irisanity. They are also a specific
for the ills peculiar to women, such as sup-
pression, bearing down pains, displacements,
ulceration, etc. They aro a certain remedy
for headaelies, dimness of vision, palpitation,
shortness of breath and by restoring the
blood to a healthy condition'bring back
strength and the glow of health, where had
been pale and Ballow- cheeks mid broken
down constitution. That these claims are
nob exaggerated is borne out bv the remark-
able cures investigated by the TIMES, as
well as by hundreds of testimonials from all
parts of Canada in the possession ' of the
proprietor.

as representing all the chances which a
woman will ever have to get married, we
are glad to see that they are distributed in at
very encouraging and inspiring way through-
out her life, but of course .they naturally
diminish as the years come. creeping on.
Between fifteen and twenty—so says our
statistician—she has fourteen and one-half
of the 100 chances to dispose of
herself. It will be seep, therefore,
that she toys with the matrimoiiial lottery
business very early in lire, or before she
has fairly cut her wisdom teeth. Between
twenty and twenty-five, however, she°
breaks more hearts and turns her back on
more proposals Oen at any other time. .
She has during these years fifty.two chances

affections and make him feel like swallow-

thirty she is gilded with k v.hght glow,
and has Only about 18 , of all her
chances, and between thi ty and thirty-five
the chances take a tumb .e to 151- per cent.
From that. time on there is very little left
