AUDACIOUS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.,
A Jewelry Store Clearest Out at the
Point of the Pistol.
TORONTO, Dec. 38.-4, most daring rob-
bery was cofnmitted in a Queen street jew-
elry store yesterday.
What is more the : robbers got away
with a large amount of booty.
The store is located at 184 Queen east,
and is owned, by Dewdney Bros., manufao-
turing jewelers, 61 King street east. The
manager is Amnion Davis, and a boy nam-
ed William Mitchell is also employed.
About 9.15 in the morning three young
men commonly dressed, walked into the
store and presenting their revolvers at
Davis and the boy ordered them into the
back room. There they tied them with
ropes and gagged them with pocket hand-
kerchiefs.
Leaving one of the trio to ]seep guard
the other two ransacked the safe and shop,
They found $517.00 in cash in the safe.
Of this sum $17.90 belonged to the St.
Clarens avenue Methodist church and Sun-
day school, of which Davis is treasurer.
They took Davis' satchel and stuffed into
it watches and jewelry estimated by the
firm at from $2,000 to $4,000. Then rhe
two men with. the plunder left by the back
way. The third remained on guard until
they had had plenty of time to get a good
start and then be. too. departed.
After a hard straggle the boy got his
bands fret', secured a knife and cut Davis'
bonds. Then the ]atter bolted for the
police station. At the same time the cry
that a rubbery' had been committed was
raised and P. C. MeRae, seeing Davis bolt-
ing down the street, jumped into n rig and
gave eitase. He overhauled the running
manager on Church street, and was much
disappointed at finding he had got the
wrong man.
The robbers wore masks while commit-
ting the robbery.

WOONSOOICET, B. L, Dec, 21.—At the
Business Men's panquet here last night, Mx
Erastus Wiman, chief propagandist of
Commercial Union with Canada, spike at
considerable length in favor of is opin-
ions. Introducing his remarks he said:
The people of the United States ould not
be beguiled into the belief that the annex-
ation of Canada was possible within a
quarter of a century, even if ten. The
recent agitation, with this end i view,was
entirely inconsequent, so far as practical
politics were concerned. So greatan event
as to lessen by 40 per cent. the area of the
British empire would only be brought
about by revolution or by constitutional
means.
A revolution was presence

Maclean, M. P., Cotuntittaa,
Tonoseo, Dec. 28.—In the Police Court
yesterday Mayor Fleming was again placed
on the stand in connection with his charge
of criminal libel against W. F. Maclean,
He reiterated his statement that he be-
lieved he first heard of the alleged raising
of these notes from Maclean. He denied
promising to lift the two notes, one of $5,-
000 and the other of $2,000, nor did he
leave Lebb's office one clay to get them.
At that tune Rundle owed him, he said,
25,000. The original 85,000 note was
paid in May, 1880. The last renewal of
is note was in Jeme, 1889.
After the cross-examination had been
oing on for about an hour the examina-
ion came to a very ordinary termination.
There are two clauses in the criminal
libel act. The serious one covers libels
which the author knows to be false; the
other a simple libel, in which malice is not
alleged. On the major charge the police
magistrate must hear evidence for the de-
' fence; on the minor one he need not,
During Mr. Fleming's Bross -examination
Mr. Carry said they had no evidence to
show that Maclean knew the alleged libel
to be false.
Mr. Nesbitt—Do you want to amend
your information, then?
Mr, Osler (who also appeared for the
Mayor)—He can get a year under the min-
or
inor charge, that will be enough.
The Mayor—He ought to get it for a
thing like that.
Maclean—What should a man get who
has done what you did.
The counsel for the cemplainant then
abandoned the charge that the libel was a
wilful one, and this ended the case. The
defendant's witnesses will not be heard
until, the Sessions now.
Maclean was bound over in $200 to
answer the charge and the Mayor in $200
to prosecute him.

A MURDEROUS MANIAC.
George Barker, of Niagara Falls Tries to
Bill His Beautiful Daughter.
NIAGARA Fauns, Dec. 28.—George Bar-
ker suddenly wont insane last night and in
a fit of rage attempted to murder his beau-
tiful daughter, Marie Barker. The trag-
edy was averted only through Miss Bar-
ker's escape during a moment when her
father went to secure a weapon to beat her
brains out. At an early hour last evening
the residents of Buffalo avenue were
startled by shrieks of a girl for help. The
family of Alexander Porter responded to
the cries and rescued the girl. Mr.
Porter's hastier, named Richardson, a
young engineer named Mr. Standish
and Mr. Porter carried Miss Bar-
ker over to the Porter residence.
She was badly injured, but told this story
of the murderous assault: She was coming
down stairs and heard her father storming
about the lower rooms of the house. She
enquired of him what was the matter and
he turned upon her like a demon. He
knocked the girl down, kicked and stantped
upon her prostrate body and pulled a
handful of hair out of hor head. "the
begged of his$' not to kill her, but with a
fiendish yell he said he would •finish her in
a moment, and started towards the back
part of the house to secure an axe or club.
Miss Barker managed to crawl up to her
room, lock the door and raising the win-
dow called for help. After the girl was
safely housed with the Porter family Bark-
er secured a revolver, came to the house,
threatening to kill anyone who interfered
with him reaching his daughter. Young
Porter stood at the door with a rifle •and
told him to get out or he would shoot him
if he dared to cross the threshold. The
police ;were summoned and succeeded in
overpowering the man and taking the re-
volver away from ,hien. Both father and
daughter are under medical attendance to -
ay. The girl's injuries ase considerer
quite serious.
