TRADE COMBINES The Grits would have us believe that combines and trusts are only known in protected countries, This is another of the Grit "catch cries" in which there is positively no truth. The fact is that the greatest combines and trusts of the last ten years have taken place in free trade England. Among these we may mention the following:— .A galvanized iron combine that sue ceeded in putting up the prices from 5 to 10 per cent. per ton. A. wagon axle trust which put up the price 20 per cent. A salt trust which not only put up the prices in England, but tried to es- tablish a branch in the United States. A coal combine which succeeded in ma- terially advancing the price of that commodity for more than a year. A steel rail exportation trust which included not only the steel rail indus- tries of England, but those of Germany and Belgium as well. England was to get :66 per cent. of the exportation, Germany 27 per cent. and Belgium 7 per cent. In this Connection may be mentioned the most wealthy ccmbine in the world namely, the Standard Oil Company, which though it operates in the United States the material it deals with was always on the free list.

His Mother Dead—Senator rtKaulbach's Funeral-- Peterboro' Collectorship. Brantford, Jan. 13.—(Special.)—Mrs. Henry Harrison of Greenwich street, this city, was shot dead while sitting in her chair at home this evening. It was the old story, "Didn't know it was loaded.," Her son Robert, aged 19 years, came home from his work and took, as he thought, an empty gun from the kitchen, where it was hang- ing. He walked with it into the sit- ting room, where his neither sat by the stove reading. The gun suddenly went off about six feet from the woman, and hitting her in the right side of the face blew half her head off. She died instantly. Dr. Heath, the Coroner, held an inquiry and decided that no inquest was necessary. No action will be taken by the police. Senator Kaulbach:s Funeral. Lunenburg N. S., Jan, 13,—The late Senator Kaulbach was buried to -day in the family plot in the public ceme- tery. Idany people came in from Bridgewater, Mahon Bay, Chester Basin and country districts. The body, which was brought here by train on Saturday afternoon, was taken to St. John's Church this morning, where many took their last look at the fea- tures that bad been so familiar to the people of this town and county for• many years, The service at the church commenced at 2.30 o'clock and was eon -au -teed by Rev. Geo. Haslam, rector of this parish, and Rev. Geo. Peterboro' Collectorship. Peterhoro', Jan, 13.—(Special,)—The report that ?sir. C. H. Clements, the col- lector of customs at this port, has ab- sconded is hardly true. For the past eight or ten months the customs house here bas been pr'ac'tically without a head, the collector not attending to his duties. Early in the year he went to the old country and remained several months. On his return he showed no improvement as to capacity for his of- ficial work, and after spending some time in an institution for the treatment of his infirmities, returned to town and subsequently went to Chicago, where he now is. The oMMee was allowed to daft along till thing, became so seri- aus that they could not be ignored and nit investigation of the accounts has been instituted. Provincial Inspector I.cultbee: of Toronto and Assistant Douglas have been here for some days :coking into the matter, but the investi- gation has not proceeded far enough to give an idea of the amount cif the i.hortage in the aer:aiunts that is assum- ed to exist. It is said on good authori- ty that there has not been a proper audit of the collector's accounts since bis appointment, about five years ago. it ,is locally known at any rate that for about a year the customs office in Peterboro' has been without a responsible head, and there have been several applicants for the position, which is considered as good as vacant. It is stated that a re- lation of the collector is prepared -o make good any deficiency of moderate amount. It goes without saying that the convenience of merchants anti imsiness men has been prejudicially affected by the condition of affairs in' the custom house here. Armenian Contributions. Paris, Jan. 13.—Rev. Messrs. Cock- burn and Silcox forwarded this morn- ing to the Rev, Principal Cavan, Presi- dent of the Toronto Evangelical Al- liance, a draft for $120 50 for the bene- fit of the Armenian sufferers, being the amount of collection taken at the week 'o'f prayer services in connection with the Presbyterian, Methodist, Bap- tist and Congregational Churches. Mr. George Dawes, mechanical fore- man of the Paris Wincey Mills, died. this morning from a very severe at- tack of erysipelas in the head and throat. He leaves a wife and six chil- dren.

Inquiries made at the Foreign Office here to -day relative to the statement that Canada had not agreed to the Ber- ing Sea arbitration treaty elicited the statement that an entente on the sub- ject between Secretary of State Olney and Sir Julian Pau.neefote, the British Ambassador, was quite possibly, but that the Foreign Office had not heard of it. The representative of the United Press to -day had. an interview with the Secretary of the Brazilian Lega- tion here, who informed him that the negotiations were proceeding with the Government at Rio Janeiro anent the Guiana boundary. There was no trio - tion between Great Britain and Brazil on this question, nor was any likely to occur. It was probable that a joint ,Commission of Delimitation would be appointed. He had no reason to be- lieve that Brazil would abandon her claims in exchange for a money con- sideration. The Venezuelan dispute had no connection with the Brazilian, and there was, therefore, no necessity for delaying the settlement of the Anglo - Brazilian question until the Venezuelan issues were arranged, The Committee of the Society of Authors has examined into the oircum- stances of the issuing of the address of British literary men to their con- freres in America, appealing to the latter to, use their influence to pre- vent a war, and declares that the sign- ers of the address are alone answer- able. The use of the society's paper, on which the address was issued, was unauthorized. The committee avows that the friendly feelings et the society for Americans induced the action. GERMANY. Prince Frederica Leopold Resigns His Command and Leaves the Country— Emperor and ountry—Emperorand Chancellor. Berlin, Jan. 13.—The Emperor visited Prince Hohenlohe at the Chancellerle this afternoon and the two had a long conference. Frinee Frederick Leopold of Prussia and his wife, Princess Louise Sophie of Sehleswig-Holstein, sister of the Em- press of Germany, are about to start for southern Europe to be absent at least a year. The Prince nas resigned his command of the Fourth Brigade in the German army. His departure from Germany and resignation of his can- nand are due to his quarrel with the Emperor. • WINNIPEG. Closing Meetings or the Campaign—Pre- mier Greonway's Election --Attempt ed Murder of Supt. Glenwright. Winnipeg, Jan. 13,—(Special.)—Mr, R. S. Preston, the Patron -Liberal can- didate in Mountain constituency, re- tired from the contest this morning, and Premier Greenway is consequent- ly elected by acclamation. This an- nouncement has been received with great delight by the friends of Nation- al Schools in the city, not only as showing the true state of affairs in the Province, but as also stopping the farce of a Patron opposing the only farmer Premier in the Dominion. Prem- ier Greenway is not in the best of health, and the campaign has already impaired his strength. The members of the Government express confidence in carrying at least 25 seats in the con- test on Wednesday. They have al- ready nine elected by acclamation, Col, Prior passed through the city yesterday for Ottawa. Baptiste Lafontaine has been sen- tenced to three months' imprisonment for bigamy.

Dodds of Melita announces himself as the Conservative candidate for Brandon in the Commons in the event of Hon. Mr. Daly not offering for re-election. It is thought Mr. Daly will get a Judgeslh-1p before the pre- sent. Parliament dissolves. Dr. Bedford, a well-known physician of Emerson, is dead. A deliberate attempt to murder Tho- mas Glenright, Superintendent of the virinnipeg Electric Street Railway, was made on Friday night. While the day's receipts were being counted up by Cash- ier Johnston a masked man entered the office, pointed a revolver at Glenright's head, and fire,. A lucky dodge saved his life, the bullet crashing through a window. The would-be assassin imme- diately ran from the building, and there is no clue to his identity. The affair is a very mysterious one, but it is generally supposed the motive was rob- bery. About 40 Manitoba curlers' left here to -day to take part in the bonspiel at Duluth. Brakeman Brushy Killed. Perth, Jan. 13,—This morning while Mr. George Edward Brushy of Tweed was engaged trying to make a coupling' In the Perth yard he was accidentally killed. Two flat cars were badly brok- en, a draw bar on one of them being gone entirely, thus necessitating the use cf a chain to join them together. Mr. Brushy was in a bent position between the two cars preparing to make tee. coupling, but neglected keeping his head low enough to escape the ends of the cars as they came together. His skull was crushed and he never re- gained Consciousness, dying in a short time. He was 25 years of age and leaves a, mother and brother. He car- ried insurance .to the amount off. $2,000.

DYER H:oanos, Carlisle. It is about a tragedy That happened hero of late, The seventh of October last, I think that was the date. One ,Tohnnie Lang, of Siddlesville, That evening did contrive, To call on Mable Robinson, To take her for a drive. Not wishing for his company, Nor to become his bride, She'did as she thnutclit wise to do His offer she denied. This seemed for to excite him so, It must have turned his head He drew a knife to take her life, And with it he fell dead. Round Carlisle for many a mile, News of the awful deed, And the unfn'tunate affair, It flew with lightning speed. Some said the deed was done for love, But at the inquest we were told, It was not for love of Mable, But love for Mable's gold. We beast of British liberty And of our Christian land, Why are such deeds of darkness done ? I cannot understand. At first they said the two were dead, And then the tidings came, The lovely young Miss Robinson Still lives to wear her name. The moral of this lesson, now, I'll leave you for to guess, When asked to go out driving Be sure and answer—yes. Amur:, The County'Council for 1096.

On Friday night a number of young people assembledto charivari the young couple.
