KING GEORGE AND THE TURK.
.
Greece is polite but pertinacious.
Apparently it has no notion of with-
drawing from Crate until it is made to.
The nest move is with the Powers, and
the assurance of M. Hanotaux to the
French Chamber that no military opera
tions would be undertaken without its
assent, would seem to indicate that the
forces of united Europe will hardly be
used on the moment to drive Greece
from her position.S yWhen ]ling George
appealed the other day from'the Great
Powers to the Great Peoples, he exhibit •
ed an acquaintance with the modern
European situation'that is worth hav-
ing. The'jgreat fear of:a general,' war
is:a mighty force, however, and it fights
on the side of the integrity of the Otto-
man Empire.As Sir Charles Dilko put
fe in his recent interview, the operation
to bo feared as a war•br;eder would
be the partition of Turkey. It is prob-
able that
rob-able.that not one of the European Gov-
ernments thiuls, taking the question
by itself, that Turkish rule is the best
that Crete can have. But if the Turk
is to be driven out of trete, and if re-
bellions among the stlojects of the Sul-
tan are to be .encouraged. where will
the dismemberment of his dominions
stop ? His Government is about as
weal: and unstable as it is diabolical in
its effects; and eau thus stand very few
shocks.
This it is that rallies Europe to his
support. The Powers cannot trust
themselves hi the presence of so much
spoil; and so they are willing to sacri-
fice the Armenians and the Cretans on
the altar of peace. Little. Greece has
no such qualms, however; and if it can
prevent a Cretan massacre under the
patrouage of the powers it will do so.
But it is a comfort to note that Britain
and France seem prepared, if permitted
to guarantee the safety of the Cretans -
A neutral Government, if possible,
would be the best; for the first need
will be to keep peace within the Wand -

enpowering the town of Mitchell to pay
the damages in a judgement given

Board of Heath. The suit was brough
by the township of Logan, it being

Great Cruelty to a Child,
H. Philip Wilson, formerly of Wood-
stock, with his wife, are on trial at
Grand Rapid,, Mich., charged with .the
grossest cruelty to a Home child adopt-
ed by them The little girl, it is alleg-
ed, has been beaten nearly to death
Among the cruelties said to have been
practiced were the .api:.lication of hot
irons to her feet, having her bound
hands and feet for weeks, and new
cords being put on the child from time
to time, owing to the fact that she bit
through the ropes It is also alleged
that when the child's flesh was 'rale
through beating, the woman rubbed in
turpentine. The girl, it is said, will be
crippled for life. Wilson's parents liye
in Woodstock now, and are greatly
shocked at the disgrace.

EVENTS IN HAMILTON.
I ot'ato Patches --Tuned to Ag rep--Fore-
snan stabbed.
Hamilton, Marcel 10.—Only four mem-
bers attended the meeting of the Potato
Patch .Committee to -night. The chairman
stated that offers to give the use of land
had been made by Mr. J. M. Gibson and
Mr. Georgy rutherland, and suggested
that a committee be appointed to inter-
view the owners of vacant land, It was
thought that land would bo procured in
different parts of the city, and that it
should be suitable for cultivation. Tho
Rev. T. Geoghegan has consented to act
as superintendent. The Mayor, the Rev.
T. Geoghegan, Mr. Adam Brown, ,Ald.
Findlay and Hill were appointed a com-
mittee to interview the landowners. They
will meet on Thursday. It is the desire
of the committee to have the scheme in
Operation by May.
FAILED TO AGREE.
There has been a delay in the appoint-
ment of the assessors on account oe a
deadlock between the Mayor and Assess-
ment Commissioner Hall over the selec-
tion of Mr. F. R. Hutton. The Mayor
has been. carried away by the representa-
tions made by the disgruntled citizens
who waited on hire and protested against
the reappointment of Mr, Hutton, and
he is opposed to reappointing , him, but
the Assessment Commissioner considers
that Mr. Hutton is a good assessor, and
that he should be selected in the interests
of the department. As the Act provides
that the assessors shall bo appointed by
the commissioner in conjunction with
the Mayor, it is hard to say how the
question will be settied,unlcss the parties
decide to leave it to the Finance Com-
mittee. All the other assesors will be re-
appointed.
HE STABBED FOREMAN.
Shortly after neidnight the police tr-
restetl Thomas McFarlane, the lad who
stabbed John Foreman in the porch of

pon, was arrested this morning. The

pain from his wound, but it is not be-
lieved that there will be serious results.
McFarlane admits tbe stabbing. He and
Whitney ' are choirbnys at St. Mark's
church, but they ref"sed to take their
places in the choir , last night, and

who is nursing a baby only ten days

Very Peculiar Accident.

while carrying it home, he carelessly
placed it, mouth, downward, upon his
head, and while jumping a fence, the
pot was forced eutirely oyer his ears,
and being a cooical lha.ped one, it
could not be removed without causing
great pain, owing to the resistance of
the hair and ears. After many un
successful attempts he tried to make
his way homeward. After walking
several hours through the woods and
ileitis, he luckily came to J. V Faulds',
where Mr. Faulds, assisted by Louis

destroyed the hearing of the left 'ear,

Peter Yorke, of Parkhill, has been
committed for trial by Squire Dickson
on charge of manslaughter, he having
shot his younger brother, Ernie, ou the
morning of December 31, believing
him to be a burglar. The preliminary
hearing in the case was held at Park-
hill last Weduesday, when two witnes-
ses were examined. The evidence
went to show that the scene at the
Yorke house was very affecting.
Yorke had asked Peter Cluness over
to the house because he and shot liis
little brother Ernie. Yorke also stated
that he was so close to Ernie when he
tired the shot that be caught the boy
before he fell to the ground. When
Airs. Henry Williams, who was also
sent for by Peter Yorke; arrived, Ernie
was lying on the floor in a conscious
condition, and Peter Yorke was pray-
ing for him. 'The boy was placed on a
lounge, as somebody said it would be
too bad to let him dye on the floor,
when be raised himself as best he
could, ard, placing his aims about his
brother's neck, kissed him. He asked
to be covered up, and in a few minutes
he died.
The Biddulph Murder.
At midnight on Feb, 8,1880 occurred
one of the darkest crimes that ever
stained the pages of Canadian history.
It was what is known as the Biddulph
tragedy, in which a body of masked
men, known as the vigilance commit-
tee, broke into the dwelling of the
Donnelly family, in the township of
Biddulph, and butchered the inmates
the father, mother, one sou and a
niece, a boy earned Connor being the
only one to escape. Fire was then set
to the house, which, together with the
bodies of the victims watt totally con-
sumed. About the same hour another
son John, living with his brother
William, about three miles away, was
(tailed to the door and shot dead. Sub.
sequently a number of men, 'charged
with the crime, were arrested, taken to
London, tried and acquitted. From
that day to this no evidence quid be
secured to fasten the guilt upon the
murderers. In time the remaining
members of the Donnelly family moved
away from the scene of the tragedy.
These consisted of William, who has for
several years kept hotel in 'Appin;
Robert, of Glencoe; Patrick, near
Niaga. a Falls, and one sister, Mrs.
Currie, of St, Thomas: William, who
was the elder brother, and is sup-
posed to have been tbe particular one
whom the vigilants wished to remove
when they called at his house and shot
down his:brother John, was a familiar
figure in these parts ever since the
tragedy. Of late years he has been
confined to his bed with a lingering
illness, and on . Sunday morning last
breathed his last at his home, the ,St.
Nicholas hotel, in Appin: His remains
were brought to the residence of his
