The Wingham Times, 1888-04-13, Page 3NEWS OF THE DAY. CANADIAN. The Kingston by-law for $140,000 to im- prove the oily water works system was car- ried yesterday by a vote of 452 to 43. Chief Jaatioe Armour was presented with the traditicual pair of gloves on opening the Assizes at Kingston there being no prison - ors in gaol. Colouei John Kilborn, who served ins an ensign in the battle of Lundy's Lune in 1$ 4, and was taken prisoner, died in Newborough on Sunday, aged 94 years. A memorial from the Winnipeg Icelaudio Society, praying for a public recognition of Lief Eriaeon as the first diaooverer of America, was presented in the United States Senate on Saturday. A Clifford merchant received an anony- mous letter recently, enclosing postage atamps audstating that the writer, a woman, had sold him a quantity of rotten eggs last summer, and tae stamps ware to pay for them. A party of Japaueae gentlemen interested in m.nutacturiag eaterprises in Yokohama passed through Winnipeg on Friday, bound on a tour of inspection of the large factory establishments in Canada and the New Eng- land States, The Customs Collector at Buffalo hasbeeu instructed b.' tat Treasury Department that olothiig and other dutiable goods purchased in Canada by residents on the frontier can. not be admitted free on their return to the United Spates. Tho editors of The Acta Victorians, the paper published by the atudnets of victoria University, have been suspended by the faculty on account of aritioiems of. the curriculum which appeared in that paper, and there is a considerable commotion in consequence. • A vigorous immigration policy will b e augurated by the Manitoba Government, and a eoheme for placing portions of railway and land companies lands under govern- ment control for aettlement is being prepare ed for submission to the Provincial Legis. lature. Seven conductors on the Canadian Pacific railway between Kalmar, a station 110 miles east of Winnipeg, and the Pacific Coast are to be dismissed for assisting an operator who was travelling to the coast on a stolen ticket to escape from a detective who was on the same train, and who finally captured him in Vancouver. The Trenton Advocate says that two men crossing Devil Lake the other day with a horse and cutter were pursued by a wolf, the horse became frightened, made a sudden apring, and threw one of them out. He had a scaling stick in his hand, struck the wolf over the head with it, stunned it, and then dispatched it with a penknife. Sir. Arthur Haliburton, recently appoint- ed to an under secretaryship of the British War Office, was born in Nova Scotia in 1832, and is a son of the famous " Sam Slick." He has filled many important positions in the British military and Civil Services, and is, we believe, the only Canadian who has ever reached a position so high in the Witish service. A young boy named Pastorius, living near Colchester, Essex County, was nearly strangled in a curious way the other day. He had fastened one end of a rope round a calf's neck and the other end round a dog's while the centre of it he wound about his own. He was being dragged along so rapid- ly when discovered that if a brother had not cut the rope in time he would have paid dearly for hie, fun. Our Saskatoon correspondent writes Mr. David Blaokley, who came from Scot- land in 1884, and whose farm is seven miles from Sasketoon, has cleaned 116 bushels of excellent oats, the produce of throe bushels sown last spring, which had only ordinary cultivation. The oats are of the black Tar• tarian variety, of superior quality, being well filled and hard. All the crops in the neighborhood are turning out well. Mr. Blaokley started with two cows and in less than four years has twenty head of cattle beaidea working oxen. He intends putting in over 100 acres of crop this year. His 'faith in the country is such that, by his ad- vice,a son and non -in-law with their families cane out from So ttland last summer and have settled near him. He says if he had money enough he would bring out all the friends. he has. At Saskatoon prices for farm produce ranee as follows :-Wheat 60c per bushel, oats and barley each 50o per bushel, potatoes 50c per bushel, butter 25c per pound, egge 30, per dozen, beef, whole. ago, $7 to $9 per 100 pounds.

The fire is attributed to incendiarism, and caused a loss of $175,000. Dr, Gatling has made important improve- ments;iin his machine gun within the past two yeara. It is now a terrible arm. It can be pointed down upon a torpedo boat from a ship's deck, or upon a launch when it is very near to the vessel.. The English naval offi- cora are loud in the praises of his gun. It throws a shower of bullets with terrible force, as thick as hail stones in a hail storm. A vessel's deck is swept by this great force, and assaults upon harbor detences, by scal- ing parties, can be overcome at once by a few of these guns properly placed in a fort. It is not a cannon, but a gun throwing ounce bullets in showers. Its forge is fatal for a mile, and for this class of projeotiles it is the most formidable arm ever invented. It is reported that an English syndicate desires to purchase Dr. Gatling'a patent and plant. FOREIGN. Another piece of cartilage was extracted from Emperor Frederick's throat on Satur- day. The population of France is decreasing notwithstanding considerable immigration. The Belgians are conning in in considerable numbers, and Italians next. Despite the semblance of health and the Emperor's increased powerGerman expert opinion that the disease will have an early and fatal termination is still unaltered. Two cases are reported in Germany of fatal results following the operation of laryngotomy, which the German doctors wanted to perform on Emperor Frederick. The Moscow Gazette attributes to Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, the English Minis. ter to Persia, a scheme for the commercial conquest of that kingdom for the benefit of England. Emperor Frederick and Empress Victoria drove in a half open eaatriage from Charlo't- tenburg to Berlin and greatly enjoyed the drive. They received enthusiastic greetings along the road. It is offioially announced that King John, of Abyssinia, has sued for peace, and Gen. San Marzano has been instructed to accede to his requests if the terms a000rd with the honour of Italy. A federation of clubs and similar societies in Paris have been formed with the object of cheapening medical attendance. Adult members of the aasooiation pay 40 cents a year for medical attendance and ohildren 20 cents. The floods in Germany and Hungary aro causing great loss of life and destruction of property, and as the snow lies on en average four feet deep in the forest lands it is feared that the worst of the inundations have yet to come Says the foreign itemizer of the New York Sun: Fully 30,000 German residents in Eng, land who evaded conscription on the break- ing out of the Franco-Prussian war can now return tof their fatherland without risk, as their offence terminated with the late Etn peror's rnign. The latest advices from China say that the crisis in Ho -Nan is past, but that the distress of the people is appalling, two mil- lion persons being utterly destitute. The nearest towns are invaded by hordes of nak- ed and starving refugees from the flooded districts, who, like swarms of locusts; are devouring everything. A correspondent, residing in the North of London, challenges the statementjattributed to Mr. Moody that cancer is unknown to the Hebrews, who suggested as the reason their abstinence from pork. He states that the testimony of medical men who have made this disease a study is that the Jews are not more exempt than others from this dire af- fliotion. The Emperor of Japan, who recently granted liberty to the press all over his do- minions, now finds that the papers have taken advantage of his kindness to hold up the Government to hatred, ridicule and con- tempt, thereby endangering the throne. So `his Majesty has issued a ukase authorizing the Minister of the Interior to suspend or suppress any journals professing objection. able sentiments. Mr. Roes Winans, the noted American sportsman, intends to give up his deer forests in Rosshire and Invernesshire, which ex- tend over 260,000 acres, Half of Winans' game preserves is on the Chisholm estate, and Mrs. Chisholm, of Chisholm, is negoti• ating with her tenant in order to obtain a surrender of ,his leases. The lease of the great forest of Glenstrathfarrar, which b, ou the Lovat estate and lets at £5,750 a year, expired last November and was not renew• ed to Winans, the new tenant being Mr, W. K. Vanderbilt, of New York, who has taken Beaufort;Castle for five years. Mr. Winans did not visit Scotland last season. Doul do It.
