An election took place in the County
of 1;la1 rn
di and on Thursday to fill the
vacancy caused by the unseating of
Mr. Colter, Liberal, and the result, it is
needless to say, was looked for with in-
terest, The corrected returns gives
Dr, Montague a majority of 246 over
his opponent Mr. Colter, Mr. Colter
was first returned to the house of Com-
mons in September, 1886, upon the
death of Mr. David Thompson, a Liber-
al, who represented the constituency
from 1867 -the first general election
after Confederation. As Parliament
was dissolved in the January following
liis election, Mr. Colter had not the op-
portunity of taking his seat. At the
general election of February, 1887, he
was again nominated by the liberal
party, and was again opposed by Dr.
Montague, who, on a recount of the
ballots, was declared elected by the
County Court Judge by a majority of
one vote. But as the result of further
proceedings an agreement was arriv-
ed at between the two political parties,
and by conseut.the election was declar
ed void. A new election took place in
November, 1887. Whcu Mr. Colter and
Dr. Montague again tried their streng-
th in a political contest. Dr. Montague
was elected by a majority 17. A pro •
test was entered into by Mr. Colter,and
the final result was the unseating of
Dr. Montague, on a technical point, by
the Supreme Court of Canada, Before
the case was disposed of, however, Dr.
Montagne had sat in the House of Com-
mons during the session of 188S as re-
presentative of the constituency. An-
other election took place, in January,
1889, which resulted in Mr. Colter's
favor, by a majority of 46, Dr. Mon-
tague entered a protest,and at the con-
clusion of the trial of the case Mr. Col-
ter was unseated by Mr. Justice Fal-
conbridge, when Mr. Colter appealed to
the .supreme Court of Canada, and the
result was the confirmation of the de-
cision of the "Court below."
A DECISION BEACHED.
On Friday night at half past ten
o'clock, the house divided on Mr. Dal
ton McCarthy's motion to abolish dual
language in the Northwest, and result-
ed in the bill being defeated by a vote
of 1.49 to 50.
The second speech of Mr. McCarthy,
upon his bill, was certainly creditable
to him, both in manner and dignity
of language. Had the member for
North Simcoe displayed similar judg
went in preparing his resolution and
stating his case, smile weeks ago, the
whole subject doubtless would have
been disposed of within a very short
delay. Mr. Laurier, as leader of the
Liberal party, admitted this; hence,
much of the bickering, misunderstand-
ing and recrimination was occasioned
for want of forethought, or at least,
lack of genuine statecraft,upon the part
of the member for North Simcoe. It is
one thing to give, quite another to take,
the give away. Statutory enactment
cannot be nullified at the beck or noel
of one cls s,r i
cularlywhentie other
class considers that vested privileges
are being invaded, and he who under-
takes to change parliamentary ordin-
ance of this nature, must be a master
of political, as well as critical finesse.
Mr. McCarthy's speech both in Ontario
and the North-West, were more in the
direction of adding fuel to fire than of
pouring oil upon troubled waters: He
at times carried away no doubt by ex-
cessive zeal,used language on all fours
with that which he condemned in
French-Canadian speakers, and having
aroused the fierce passion with attack
upon .race and religion engender, must
not be surprised that some hitting back..
Yeas done, although he held his own
against what appeared pretty long
odds. To properly and fairly estimate
the
position, the English majority must
view it from a minority standpoint,a,nd
thus circumstanced, will not hurrfdly
condemn those who was convinced that
Mr, McCarthy's design was to under -
Mine treaty guarantees by graduall
abolishing the use of French as f-

Suppose to -day the. French=Canadian
language was vetoed? would it make
French-Canadians more loyal to Great
Britain, more devoted to their country,
more patriotic in their as lleratiors?
They aro in Canada to stay ; their rights
and privileges;are guaranteed,and un-
less the Emglish speaking population
is prepared to accept the responsibility
of jeopardizing Confederation, it would
be madness to adopt a policy of ostra-
cism towards an immense body of Can-
adians, who in the main are toiling
with their fellow -countrymen to found
upon the American continent a power-
ful British nation, They talk French
because they have a right so to do, and
if the blood which courses through their
veins, impells them to perpetuate cer-
tain forms or demand the maintance
of certain guaranteed privileges. they
are doing what the same number of
Englishmen would do, under similar
circumstances. To endeavour to make
French-Canadians Englishmen, by stat-
utory enactment, would be futile as
endeavoring to transform a clay pipe
into Bessemer steel. When questions
of race and religion monoplize the time
attention and intellectual powers of a
people, no permanent progress can pos-
sibly be achieved. Canada's best men,
be they English, French, German, Irish
or Scotch,are required in working out
the national destiny, and when delicate
questions are to be settled, those advo-
cating them, should do stein a spirit of
conciliation, not grope with bag and
hook,for offal which statesmen would
scorn to make use of. We maintain
that this North West dual language
might have been settled without re-
crimination, without attacks upon race,
or reference to religion. It was a plain,
matter-of-fact subject for discussion,
but was utilezed for purposes and rever-
es of patriotic. The dual language is
not required in the North-West; Mr.
Laurier says so ;Mr. Chapelau virtually
says so -but neither of them endorsed
the motion made by Mr. McCarthy, be-
cause he placed that beyond possbility
when he introduced the measure:
Disaster at Owen Sound,
Owen Sound, Feb. 22. -One of the
most distressing accidents that has oc-
curred here in recent years took place
this afternoon and resulted in the loss
of one life, besides doing considerable
damage to property. Shortly after one
o'clock, as the staff at the gas works
was beginning the manufacture of the
clay's supply, from some unknown cause
a quantity of gas escaped and became
ignited, causing a terrific explosion,
blowing out the north end of the build-
ing. There were three persons in the
building at the time -John Hester, the
manager; John Larmour, an assistant,
and a boy named Nelson. Larmour
was standing' near the rear entrance
and escaped without injury. Hester
was thrown down and his clothing
caught fire, but he escaped injury by
rushing out and rolling in the snow.
The boy Nelson was standing in a
narrow space between the generator
and the north wall, and when the wall
came down he was buried in the ruins
and instantly killed, his head being
crushed. The building took fire after
the explosion,
n
a d•"si •n
the a s sta, ce of the
fire brigade was necessary to quench
the flames. This is accompiished in, a
very- short time, though not until the
roof was destroyed. Fortunately none
of the apparatus ppa n us vas injured, and
though the building is in a: dilapidated
condition, the workmen proceeded to
make the regularuI
ar
salpp y, and the town
was not inconvenienced through the
accident. The boy Nelson was about,
12 years of age, and came here a year
or so ago from Meaford. He has been
residing with his step -brother, Mk. 'Wm.
Campbell. He had only gone into the.
works a few minutes previous to the
Accident to get his feet warm. An
estimate of the damage done cannot he
given with any degree of accuracy, as
seine if the remaining walls may have.
to come down. Temporary lepairs
were at once commenced to make the
place habitable.
Did Fie Suicide?

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont,, Feb. 23.-A
Syracuse special to the Buffalo papers,

with an empty phial susposep to have

that it was a case of suidide. This
suspicion was increased when some old
letters and a paayer bgok were found,.
the former addressedto his ;mother
here, and the latter bearing the name
of a young lady who, the special intim
fitted, was in some way connected with
the supposed suicide. On investiga••

NOT A susoIDn.
Niagara Falls, Feb, 23,-A special to
Buffalo papers dated yesterday 'an-
nounced the death ofJohn A $. Browne,
formerly of , Davidson & Browne, of
Hamilton, Ont. The finding of the
body lying across the bea in his room
at the hotel where lie was staying,with
blood 'seeing from the nose and mouth,
together with an empty phial supposed
to have contained morphine, led to the
belief that it was a case of suicide.
This suspicion was increased when
some old letters and a prayer book were
found, the former addressed to his mot-
her here, and the Latter bearing' the
naive of a young lady whom the spec-
ial intimated was in some way con-
nected with the supposed suicide. On
investigation here it was discovered
that the young lady referred to was a
well known and respected resident of
Niagara Falls, and a neice of Browne,
but who last saw him some months ago,
when the prayer book referred to bear-
ing her .name was presented tie him by
her. About six months ` ago ,Browne,
while working in Rome, N. Y., was
suddenly taken ill with a severe attack
of the grippe. He telegraphed his mot:
her here, who went to Rome, where shie"
remained with him until he was
thought to be out of danger, and well
on the way to recovery. Some three
weeks ago he went to Syracuse, from
which place a letter was received last
Monday announcing that he was im-
improving. The first intimation his
friends here had of his death' was the
report published in the Buffalo papers
of this morning. They scout the idea
of suicide; unless a temporary fit of in-
sanity had been caused by a relapse.
They think he took an overdose of mor-
phine by accident.
Doubtless a Murder.
W oonsTocx,Feb: 23. -The niurderat
Princeton,a village near here,has turn-
ed, out. to be a rather mysterious affair.
No clue yet as to the identification of
the murdered man has come to light.
Hundreds have been to see' -the body,
but no one was able to identify him.
All the indications point to amost foul
murder. The unfortunate roan was
doubtless the victim of a 'deep laid plot.
He was shot twice in the back of the
neck. He was about 24 years of age,
weighs about 140 pounds,height about
5 feet 7a inches. His -features were
decidedly sharp, slanting forehead,
Roman nose and projecting upper lip,
cleanly shaven face. His hair was
very dark and irregular. In his mouth
was a gold plate to which three teeth
were attached, the two front teeth be -
gold: filled. The theory generally ac-
cepted is that the body was brought
from some distance. The spot in which
it was found is the most secluded in the
township. The swamp is seldom visit-
ed,and had it not been for the fact that
the Elvidge brothers wanted a temente
pole, the remains of the murdered man
night have lain undiseovered;for many
a day. The probabilities are that the
body was brought in a vehicle of some
to a point on the road nearly opposite
where it was discovered. Tun
correspondent, with hundreds of others,
visited the place today but could gain
no clue to the murdered mail's identity,
He has all the appearance of a young
Englishinan. His dress although was
decidedly English and of the best. He
wore a fine checked suit !of brown.
tweed, a silk undershirt nexthis slain
and a fine merino .shirt between that
and his fresh laund re d linen, His e e e e shat
was brown,Dunla.p shape,and his neck-
tie a dark green foment -hand His
overcoat was a bright checked rubber
tweed of excellent quality. The inter-
est in thih neighborhood rims very
high The, belief is that he„ -was not
murdered for' his money; also the fact
that:every spot on his clothing contain-
ing his initials, train his underclothing
to his stockings, was carefully cut out
as if by a pale:of scissors, Confirms this
view: The probability is' that some
motive, along with the desire for ` his
money, inspired his -.murderers, ' The
inquest will be contiued to -morrow.
Four Murders.
QuEarro, Feb. 24.-A. terrible murder
occurred yesterday, at St, Alban, some
forty miles above Quebec. A man
named Dubllis in a fit of wildest rage,
occasioned by jealousy, seized an axe
and murdered his wife, his mother-in-
law, and his two children, aged four
years and two months respectively.
During the day neighbors, • suspecting
Ga
hrn had occurred
comet „ extraordinary
to the inmates of the dwelling on ac-
count of the deadly stillness that pre-
vailed around it, entered the building,
and to their utter dismay beheld the
mangled and bleeding bodies of Mrs.
Dubois, wife of the murderer, and Mrs•
Olympe Thihsi,tilt, his mother -iii -law
lying on the floor, with skulls open
and smashed to a jelly, their bosoms
open and the entrails hanging' otit.
Portions of brains were scattered about
t, o place in polls of blood, but the hor;,
cors did net top there,
.00444 '4' door that 10, to the bees-
roonl, they discovered tho.bodios of the
two children also ent and tern in a
barbarousmannei'. The;;two inontlis'
old baby was entirely beheaded, ;while
anther cut exhibited the heart, • and.
hinge. 'The elder boy, as ho lay on a
bed, appeared to have died in terrible
agonyf his le G's Were hacked to pieeee,
and the body showed indications of hav-
ing been struck repeatedly before re-
eeiving the fatal blow.
Tho news spread like wild f re among
the parishioners of St. Alban, and pos-
ses were organized to go in pursuit of
the fiend. He was arrested last night
in a wood by Mayor Naud, and lie is
held in custody until the arrival of the
Provincial police,who are now on their
way to the scene of the murder., Cor-
oner Belleau is also gone to St, Alban
to hold an inquest on the bodies of the
victims. The opinion of the people of
St. Alban is that Dubois was jealous
of his wife, who, however, gave him no
cause to be jealous of her,and enjoyed.
a good reputation in the County of
Portneuf; but Dubois, the murderer,
was considered a dangerous character
and has several times acted unmanly
towards his wife, ill-treatinrn her. He
had also a grudge against MS mother-
in-law, whom he"accused of conniving
clandestinely to his prejndice. The
news of the murder caused considerable
excitment in Quebec,and a large crowd
will be at the arrival of the C. P. R.
train which will convey the murder•
ous fiend here.
A message from Mr. Damose Naud,
Mayor of the parish of St. Alban, where
the terrible tragedy was perpetrated.
gives some imformation about the ter-
rible affair and Dubois, The murderer
was born in Canada, but was brought
up in the states, where he learned to
speak English very web; this got hiin.
the nickname of the Irishman among
his fellow parishioners. He was a bag-
ger by profession, and for more success
in this business he associated with his
brother-in-law Thibault, who is as
blind as a bat. Dubois is of a colossal
structure, and is exceedingly ferocious.
Two years ago he left his wife, went
away and wandered about, leaving
her in the greatest misery. He came
back to her some time ago and ill-
treated her awfully. Knowing his
wickedness no one dine to interfere,
lest they should get "down up."
On Sunday while the villagers were
at mass Dubois after having quarreled
with his wife went at the back of the
house and got a chopping axe, which
he always ,kept in good order. He en-
tered the house and assailed his wife
and mother-in-law, whom he soon but-
chered to death. Next he cooly mur-
dered his two boys and threw -the four
bodies in the cellar, from where they
were brought up by Thibault, the
blind bagger and brother-in-law ofDu-
bois, who appears to have been present
at the onslatighter.
The fiend was found five miles north
of St. Alban by Mayor Naud. He first
showed fight, but soon cooled to reason
at the sight of a goodly heavy revolver
which Mr., Nand carried in his coat
pocket, and the muzzle of which pro•
jected out. He was brought to St.
Alban and kept under strong guard
until the arrival of Co ;sta,ble Gale and
otheek in whose chargt he is now.
He manifested: the desire of being
brought to Quebec, where he said he
could obtain justice. He also declared
that he did not know what he was
about when he murdered his victims.
Several parishioners of St. Alban are
of opinion that Dubois was idiotic, but
Mr. Naud holds a contrary opinion.
The inquest, which takes place to-
morrow, is awaited with breathless
anxiety.

On the 9th inst. Mr. John `Cameron.
sr., one of the first settlers on the 2nd
concession of Stanley, passed peacefully
away, after a short illness of about a
week, having reached the good age of
88 years. Mr.' Cameron was a native
of Perthshire, Scotland. He passed his
youth in the same parish and in 1885
married Miss Christina Scott, His
married life lasted Happily for a period
of
fifty-three years, his wife having
died on April 9th, 1888. In the year
1845 he emigrated to America with a
family of three sons and one daughter.
Ile remained for five years in Charlott-
burg, Glengarry county, and then set-
tled in the township of Stanley in 1850.
The line was then an almost unbroken
forest, and for a number of ' years he
lived on and cleared a great part of lot
23, 2nd concession, For the last twenty
years he has been living with his son,
Mr. John Cameron, at whose residence
he died. He was a man of sound con-
stitution, and having excellent eye
sight he was usually employed by the
gentry during the shooting season in
watching and finding the gate. He
was a life-long Reformer and a consist-
ent member of the Presbyterian church,
Brucefield, of which Rev. J. H. Simpson
is pastor His children are all married.
One son is in California, another in
Carson City, Nevada, and one in , Stan-
ley. His daughter is the wife of Mr.
George Baird, sr., of Stanley. The high
respect and estimation in which he was
held was shown by the large number of
friends and acquaintances who met to
perform the last rites and follow his
remains to their last resting place in
Baird's Cemetery.
We are called upon to record the
death of ono of the oldest inhabitants of
Tuckersmith, in the person of John
McLean, sr., which took place on the
7th inst., at the family homestead, ad-
joining Kippen, at the age of nearly
ninety years. Mr: McLean was a
native of Ayrshire, Scotland. , In the
year 1824 he embarked on hoard a
vessel destined for New York. After
some weeks sailing the vessel sprung a
leak, and after three weeks hard pump-
ing they sighted a vessel which came
to their rescue, took them on board and
lauded them in Hull, Yorkshire, Eng-
land. Mr. McLean 'found his way to
Liverpool, where he again sailed for
New York, where he arrived after some
weeks' sailing. He spent some time in
seeing the northern States, after which
he crossed over to Canada and purchas-
ed a farm near Toronto, which he, cul
tivated for a few and -ears
y which he
afterwards sold, and removed the farm
on which he died. He was a man of
sterling integrity, quiet and unassum-
ing, and few were held in greater
esteem by those who knew Trim most
intimately. He was one of the noble
band of men who did well his part to
make this country what it is, a source
of pride to all who inhabit it. His •col-,
leagues are fast disappearing from the
earth, but their memories will long live
bright and fresh in the hearts of thous-
ands who are left behind. He leaves.
behind him a family of three sons and
a daughter to mourn his loss. His re-
mains were interred in the Brucefield
cemetery, where they were followed by
a large concourse of friends and 'ac-
quaintances.

Don't be backward in coaling
forward ; and don't fall over
yourselves in the rush. People
are bound to buy the Cheap-
est and, best goods, and that is
at the Exeter
FURNITURE WAREROOMS.
Love at first sight must be the
fate of everyone who gazes on those
goods, not only because, they are hand-
some but because they aro cheap in
every sense of the word. Nobody can
heat me on stock, nobody shall beat me
on price Buy where you like but see
my stock before you buy.
It will be money. in your
pocket and in mine, for
you want the best and
cheapest, and I
have it.
