bad a fur coat on as near as I could
s': • tell, I clid not notice that there
'was any person with him.
The same thing was tittemptecl in
dozens of eases, and the lists of the
voters so approached were placed in the hauls of the Grit sarutrueers
who were instructed to challenge -the
votes of the men ,whose names were
placed in their hands and swear
there. Brit it became necessary to
change the instructions to the scru-
tineers so soon as the bribers were
arrested. 'One of the Grit scruti-
neers explained how this was done,
al, follows :
James Alexander Macdonald, law
student, of Stratford, sworn,,seid: 1
iieted as scrutineer in the township
of Wallace last election at ward No.
4. I received my instructions partly
from Mr. 2Sayltee and Thos. E. Ilay.
imy first instructions I received from
Mr. Maybee in the committee room
the eight before the election. Ile
told me I' would be supplied with
s list of names ton tked to be sworn.
The reason he gave was that money
hint been ,*sed and that the Conser
vatities had been bl•il,ing in the
township of \\'a:lace, and that the
Haines marked were of those believed
to have been bribed. My duty
would have been 'to administer the
oath to those men with the. view of
}zreventiug them from voting. tgotthe
list. 1 have not got it now. I think
I gave it to Ilay. Ile Was scrutineer
at the some {dace. I challenged one
person, Robert .Bays, and the oath
Was tendered to hint and he refused
to take it. After we got through
with Trays, Maybee came out and
told me •fo swear no more. He said
t,elieved it was sofne of our peo-
ple (Reformers) who hall been doing
the brihirm. Ile sant nothing furthl
era I did not swear any more per-
sons. 1 do not know the locality of
the ;committee room: I saw Thos.
Ilay athero. The instructions were
countermanded at the polling place.
1 think there Was a little discussion
there about the matter. 1 saw a
handbill which was given toe the.
night before. There was an angry
discussion between Mr; Maybee and
Mr. Ir'awkins at the polling booth.
The latter is scruttneer for the Con.
servatives.
e•
1°=
By Mr. Maybee—I remember you
coming to the poll asking me to
swear no more and saying you be-
IPived some of our fellows were onto
his, and that you did not•wisb any
Couikervati.vea to lose their .votes. I
remember you asking one man who
had been sworn to tender his vote
again, but the returning officer -would
not receive it. I remember Haw-
kins ohnrgingyou witl4beinc daps icat-
ed 'in the matter and your denying
it. .There was a number of other
Conservatives in the room at the
lime. .I. am• not aware they were,
said to. have received looney. I
swore no more voters, for the reason
1' have given.
Some very piquant disclosures
will probably be wade when the case
comes before the higher court.
There is only one thing which Mr..
Mowat can new do. Heretofore be'
)-,as come to the relief of every Grit
scoundrel who has come within the
clutches of the law. 'He will now
probably fly to the relief of the Perth
scoundrels and pass a law declaring,
that.brihery is not an•oflenoe cognis-
able by the' law of Ontario. This
would only be in keeping with his
white washing of Dr. Dowling hist
Parliament after he had been declar-
ed guilty of bribery by the court.s;
and with the Bill specially passed by
him to relieve the peccant returning
officer Armstrong after •he had been
:fennel guilty and adjudged to pay a-.
ne for his "irregularity" in East
luron.
•
—Dr. Dowling, the whitewashed
Grit Briber member of the last.
Ontario Assembly, has been defeated:
this time on a reco-nut by Mr. Me -
Andrew, a hitherto Reformer butt
who .is pledged to support Mr.
Mowat.. Mr. Mo. A'ndrew's, majority.
TENANTS AND LANLORDS IN
IRELAND.
Some oxtraordivaay instances of
well-to-do tenants trying to profit
by -the present crisis by swindling
their landlords .out of the rents,
were reported recently from Lime-
rick. One tentint, who has £2,500
in the National Bank, persisted in
ignoring the' laudlerd's 'application
fur rent. .A registered letter was
disregarded, but a writ finally
brought the tenant to his souses,
and he at once went and paid the
rent and abused the landlord •for
disgracing flim with a writ. The
same tenant succeeded in forcing a
second landlord under whom he
holds lands to give him a largo re-
duction, though he has just given
one of his sons a profession, has two
more in college, -and, two daughters
are in first-class boarding schools.
Another "pour struggling" tenant
has also just .obtained a substantial
abatement, though he has no fewer
than fifty shares in the. National
'Bank. In another case a wealthy
widow refused to pay her rent, al-
thongh offered twenty per cent.
reduction. Her stock was, there-
fore, seized for compulsory sale, but
next day the widow repented. and
promised to pay.not -only the Tent
•in full, but costs besides the rent.,
The loss to her in ready cash was
£49, the twenty per cent. abatement
being forfeited besides.—Fermanagh
Tidies, 9M Dee., 1886.
BAD PARSONS.
Rev. C. P. Searle, of Danville,
Ill, who deserted his family in Sep-
tember 'and eloped with Miss Fan-
nie Matthews, of East Lynn; was ar-
rested in Chattanooga, .Penn., .last
Thursday,. on a cliarg@:, of •:bigamy:
He was captured with the: girl in
London, Ont., two weeks ago, on as
charge of seduction, but was allow-
ed his freedom on condition that he
would go south, and the girl was
taken home to her parents. She
confessed to having been married to
the miuisterr•anal tliis led to his ar-
rest on the charge of bigamy.
Searle tolls a sad story of his down -
tall. •Thirty years ago he married a
wuman many years hie •sonior. Ile
soon found that he did not love the
woman. HIe lived with her, how-
ever,. n.ntil September, when he
met Bliss Matthews. Their acquain-
tance ripened into love and resulted
in elopement. Searle has been
taken to Chicago..
Rev, E. F. Stull, pastor of the
Methods Chu c',, Oxford, Ind.,
Jan. 7th eloped to Alahamn with
Mrs. McCode, the principal milliner
of the town,. a handsome, fascinat-'
ing. woman. She leaves a husband
aid child, and Stull leaves a wife.
He was administrator of his brother-
in-law's estate; and is believed to
have carried off all the money of
the-, heirs. Stull was popular, and
his amour had not been suspected:
