I8ussoli County Relief—The Committee Anxious to Neglect No Case-.Stittsvine Manslaughter Case. Ottawa, Nov. 13.—There is a balance of $15,000 of the Furness Steamship Company's subsidy whioh has been left on the hands of the Government, the oompanv refusing to comply with some of the limitations whioh were put upon them. Instead of getting $40,000, the seine as last year, the oompa'ny gets the old subsidy of $25,000 under tbe old agreement. Mr. 11. A. Allan of the Allan Line had an interview to -day with the members of the St. John delegation, Sir Richard Cartwright, Mr. Blair and Mr. Scott, regarding this subsidy of $15,000. The Allan Line agreed to put on a service to meet the demands of the Government. At a meeting of tbe Cabinet this afternoon it was decided to give the subsidy to the Allan Line for ten direct sailings from St. John to London. Russell County Relief. The Executive Committee of the Rus- veil County relief fund hes completed the work of enumeration in the burned districts. The enumerators have done their work very carefully, but owing to some of the parties affeoted having re- moved from the district it is just pos- sible a few have been missed. Care has been taken by the committee, however, to find out all who oan possibly be reached,and for fear any may have been overlooked by the enumerators notices havo been sent all over the dis- trict urging persons to snake application for .relief to the central offices here. Over 800 parcels of clothing suitable to the particular need of the families sup- plied have been forwarded, those repre- senting over 1,500 people who have been furnished with gond clothing. From day to day, as the needs of the sufferers may determine, other supplies are being sent to them, and there appears to be good grounds for stating that the work has been systematically done. Of course, even with the most perfect system, there would likely be a few omisslons, but the taommittee is anxious not to overlook a single person. The committee expresses the hope that sums will not be Fent to individual parties, but direct to Ottawa, where they will be properly handled.. Tho committee states that •Joaohim Bisson, whose case was mentioned last Thursday, had a complete supply of olothing, boots and blankets suitable for himself, wife and five children, shipped to him on October 28, although the postmaster's letter says Bisson has nothing. Bisson is down for the full measure, which will amoupt to $100, and only two days ago bis particular, request was received. The relief will t consist of lumber, a stove, flour and pork, but with the wants of hundreds •ef people to be attended to a few days must be allowed for all the orders to bo filled.Mr. Periey, chief executive officer of the committee, is writing Mr. Menard, the postmaster, asking him to substanti- ate the statements in his letter. Stittsviilo Manslaughter Case. The preliminary trial of Alex Mo- Duaig and Barry Hawes, oharged with being responsible for the death of James • Hastey at the C. P. R. collision at Stittsville on October 14, was com- menced to -day before Mr. Smith, a County Magistrate, and will be con- tinued to -morrow. The evidence given was the same as at the Coroner's in- quest. Mr. J. A. Ritchie, County Crown Attorney, proseouted and Messrs. G. F. Henderson and Frank R. Latohford. appeared for the accused. The Canada Gazette contains notice that applications for Imperial servioe medals for the Fenian raid of 1866 should be addressed to the general officer .commanding the troops in Canada at .Halifax DIED FIGHTING. :Pato of Lieutenant McIntyre and Twelve of His Men. Simla, Nov. 13.—When the British seoonnoitering force returned to the 'camp in the Maiden valley, after a re- treat from the summit of the Saran - :Sar mountain, Lieut Molntyre ands 12 amen belonging to the Northamptonshire Regiment, which had suffered most severely while saving the wounded, were reported missing, but it was hoped they would succeed in reaching camp. A despatch from the Maiden valley to -day, however, shows that the lieutenant and his companions have been killed. Their bodies havo been found, and it is said to be evident from the position in 'whioh the corpses rested that the little -detachment fell gallantly fighting to the last. Every man of the party died from rifle bullet wounds. Result of Dr. Yemen's Trial. Stratford, Nov. 12.—At the Assizes "before Mr. Justine Rose, the Grand Jury having returned a true bill for man- slaughter against Dr. J. G. Yemen, . the case Dame up for hearing this morning. Yemen pleaded not guilty. Mr. John Idington, Q.0 , County Crown Attorney, prosecuted; Mr. J. P. Mabee acting for the defence. The evidence of several wit- nesses, including that of tbe husband of the woman, several oity doctors, and Prof. Ellis, of Toronto, who made the .analysis of the medicine contained in the bottle found in the room was taken. The jury after being out an hour and a half brought in a verdict of not guilty en the charge of manslaughter but. guilty on the other charge. His Lordship then sentenced Yemen to three years in Kingston Penitentiary. Canadian Express °niceatTrenton Robbed Trenton, Ont., Nov. 12.—.The office of the Canadian Express Company was entered by burglars last night, the vault opened, and Dash money orders and ohecques to the amount of about $2,500 stolen. There is no clue whatever to the. perpetrators. Detectives are now investi- gating. The offloials of the express oom pany are very ,reticent and no further particulars are obtainable at present. Hayti `Will Resist. London, Nov. 12.—A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Berlin says that Hayti is not disposed • to yield to the demands made by Germany growing out of the arrest and imprisonment; of Herr Lueders, a German subjeot, and that it is understood Great Britain bas offered :'to act as mediator in the dispute. PLEADED GUILTY TO MURDER, The Sensational Ending of a Great Murder . Trial. Dover, N. H,, Nov. 12: Joseph E. Kelley, who for the past three days has been on trial oharged with the murder of Joseph A. Stickney,the aged cashier of the Great Falls National Bank of Somersworth, upon the opening of the court this morning retracted his plea of not guilty, and pleaded guilty to the charge against him, throwing bimself upon the mercy of the court. Kelley addressed the court, saying: " Your I-lonor, this question of retraction of my plea all remains with your honor. if you will fix the date of my execution on the 16th January, 1889, then your Hon. or, I retract my plea and plead guilty to the obarge of murder. I plead guilty of murder " he repeated in a voice distinct and unmoved. County Solicitor Nason, in answer to a query, said that the State had made no ooucessions, but that the prisoner pleaded guilty on his own responsibility. Upon hearing Kelley's statement the court deoided that the jury should be discharged, and the court would hear further evidence in the case to deter- mine the degree. The prisoner went to Montreal dressed as a woman, and having in his posses- sion the greater part of the money stolen from the murdered man. He was arrested by the Montreal detectives on information given by a young woman, who met Kelley, and spent some time in his company. The stolen money and other articles were traced to his posses- sion, and the evidence given by witnesses from Montreal was so complete that conviction was absolutely certain, No doubt the prisoner realized this, hence his sudden change of plea, He doubtless expeots to escape the death penalty. PORT ROWAN TRAGEDY. Two lien Go Out Shooting—One Found Dead in Six Inches of 'Pater. Port Rowan Ont. Nov. 12.—Mr. R. W. Leeming, of Brantford, and Mr. C. Wynn Williams, formerly of Tilsonburg, left port about noon to -day in the small naphtha launch owned by Mr. Learning on a snipe shooting expedition along the shores of the bay. Bunning the launch in shoal water, they both got out and separated. Shortly afterwards, Mr. Leeming missecl Williams, not being able to get sight of him anywhere, and thinkiut; it strange, he began working towards the spot where he last saw him. After a long search be found hien lying face down in six inehofi of water, dead. Mr. Leeming managed to get the body into the leuneh, and returned with it. An inquest will be hold by bis request, he being the only person with him • at the tit.;e. ear. Williams was a elaeon, and they have charge of dot hotly, His friends are beim uounnunicated with. Prospects for a 1'roiitable Trade .1 re Good. Grimsby, Nov. 18. -The possibilities for a profitable Canadian export trade' in fault me good. Mr. L. Wolverton, agent for the Department of Agriculture, in making np trial shipments of tender fruits has received returns from London, Liverpool and Glasgow and he is inuch encouraged as to the outlook for peaches, pears, and tomatoes. According to these, 40 oases of Craw- ford poaches brought prices in Liverpool of $3.06 a case of 80 quarts. Louise Bonne pears fetched $3.00 a case, Bart- letts $3, Quackenbos plums $3.77. Con- cord, Warden and Niagara grapes how- ever, generally failed to bring more than a cent a hound. A fault found with the shipment was that the refrigerator temperature was too high, The first shipment of Crawford peaches arrived too ripe, having been stored in too high a temperature in crossing the ocean, but the shipment by the Numidian reached market O.K. Prohibitionists Are Active. Toronto, Nov. 13.—The Prohibition- ists aro becoming more active every day, to the discomfiture of the Ontario Gov- ernment. A petition to the Legislature asking for the two changes in the License Act recently demanded by Mr. Spence and his colleagues of the Govern- ment in Council is being circulated throughout the province. It will be pre- sented when the House meets, with the idea of oompelling Premier Hardy to define his position before the elections come on. • Five Charms Against Him. Brampton, Nov. 18.—Yesterday Wil- liam Dennison was lodged in jail here on five charges of theft. He is oharged with stealing two horses from Messrs. Andrews and Harrison, harness from Mr. Leach, a wagon from Mr. Durie, all in the neighborhood of Port Credit, and a second wagon, whioh he secured after abandoning the first, from Deputy - Reeve James Curry, of Elmbaank. Den- nison's home is at Dixie and on a con- viction of stealing harness he recently served a term in the Central. Charged With Murder. Goderioh, Nov. 12.—Fred Elliott, -who shot and killed his brother Harvey at Bayfield on Monday evening last, was brought to Goderioh last night by the Coroner's constable, John Ferguson, and Officer (sundry, detailed on the case by the Crown Attorney. This morning the prisoner was brought before Police Magistrate Seagrand, arraigned on a charge of murder, and remanded for trial on Nov. 15, at 8 o'clock. William Proudfoot appeared for the defence, and Ira Lewis for the Crown. The Session Will be Short. Toronto, Nov. 15 --The indications' at present are all in favor of a very short sesr;ion of the Ontario Legislature. It is known that the Governinont are giving applicants to understand that the ses- sional rules will be strictly enforced, and it will bo neces4�arey for those who present private bills to. have them sent in immediately, as the first date after which bills aro not received will be strictly adhered to. The Department of Railways and Canals has taken over the contract on the Soulanges canal hold by Mr. Aroiaio Stewart, of Ottawa, and the work is being carried on, under the control of the. Government: The Red. Dr. Clarke, Presbyterian minister at Bracebridge, Ont., died there Thursday, aged 70. .At one time he practised medicine in Toronto, but life entered the ministry in 1885, his first. and only charge being Bracebridge, where he ministered for twelve years. CARE OF A BICYCLE. Bow to Prolong the Existence of Roar Monzit. The life of a bicycle depends in great treasure upon the amount of Dare bo - stowed upon it, and the very bust ma- chine will soon deteriorate and wear outif neglected by its owner, while the careful wheelwoman will be rewarded for her trouble by the prolonged exist- ence of her mount. Following are some helpful directions from an English au- thority: First comes cleanliness, and it is impossible to pay too great attention to this matter: When a machine comes home wet and dirty, it should be at- tended to immediately, not put away for a more convenient season, when the mud will have caked and rust set in. The spokes and enameled parts of the machine should be wiped with a damp sponge, then dried, .the nickel plating rubbed with a dry oloth or chamois leather and the axles and joints care- fully cleansed. Many and varied are the brushes sold for this purpose, but a rag is all that is strictly necessary. Indeed, the whole art of cleaning maohinery, as practiced in machine factories, consists in friction with rags. If a brush is pre- ferred, an aged toothbrush is as good as. anything you can buy. A little paraffin oil rubbed over dirty parts is excellent for oleansingand• brightening them, but care must be taken that it, or any other oil, does not got upon the tires, as it is most injurious to India rubber. For pol- ishing nickel plating, metal polish may be used. It is surprising what an ao- oumulation of dirt manages to find its way into"dustproof" gear oases. Even flash passed over the pasha's cottate- nanoe, but he made no answer. As soon es Napier was gone,. Mehemet sent for the English consul, who was an Egyp- tian, and demanded: "You were in London when the Eng- lish queen was Drowned. Werethe omens bad or good?" "All good." `You think that good luck is written on her foreheads" "1 did pot think upon the matter be- fore, but uow that you ask me 1 be- lieve that it is. When she asked Allah to help her in her work, her eyes ran over. Allah loves the innocent." "No doubt of that," said Mehemet Anxiously. "She must be lucky Early the uext morning he sent for :air Charles and signed the treaty. Eng- lish power and English Dannon he could brave, but not "the luck" written up- on the forehead of a good woman whom he bad never seen. General Gordon's remarkable influ- ence over the Chinese was in a large degree due, it is stated, to their belief in his extraordinary luck. During the Tae -Ping rebellion he was followed by an army which did not comprehend either his ability or his religions zeal, but which believed that be was protected by an invisible being who led hien to victory. No sword could wound him or bullet kill. A certain black ebony cane which he carried was supposed to be the mag- ic talisman which brought him victory, and General. Gordon was shrewd enough always to carry this cane when he led them into battle. These superstitions seem absurd to ns, but they at least show that the ig- Belinda (who is expecting some one and knows his playful ways): "Oh, Willie, you naughty boyl Your mustache does tickle my neck ea" —Nugget& the best machines require an occasional cleaning, and every four or five months the chain should be removed from the gear case, thoroughly cleaned with par- affin, then soaked in thick oil—a messy and unpleasant job. The saddle is a simple matter. A little vaseline or leather paste rubbed in occasionally will prevent the leather from becoming hard and cracking. For lubricating the machine a thin oil, and one that does not set, must be al- ways used. Oil such as is used for guns is excellent, besides a variety of useful oils to be had at any cycle shop, while vaseline is most effective for the head of the machine. A little of this rubbed • upon the nickel plating pre- serves it from tarnish and keeps it in good order. It should always be applied before a long journey or if the machine is put by for any length of time. Many wheelwomen err on the side of too much oil. As a rule, a small quantity of oil for every 100 miles ridden amply suffices, but if the machine has been out in wet weather a little oil should al- ways be applied. Once a season the bearings should be examined, as they require adjustment, and a thorough in- side cleaning should take place. Every bicycle is worthy of a stand. Every wheelwoman who values her tires and wishes to clean her machine in comfort should have one. If a special room is set apart for, cycles, wooden racks can be placed against the wall for a very small cost. Machines should never, if possible, be relegated to out- house or stable; damp is most injurious to their constitutions, and their dwell- ing place must be perfectly dry. When machines are laid by for any length of time, the tires must on no account be deflated, as cracks will ensue with de •plorable consequences. The tires should be left nearly full of air, the bearings oiled, and the outer parts of the ma- chine covered with vaseline. SUPERSTITIONS. The Momentous Part They Sometimea Play In Human Affairs. The London Truth gives the follow- ing inside view of a great historical event said to have been hitherto un- published: When Sir Charles. Napier ,had con- quered Mehemet Ali, 'he found it im- possible to force or coax the wily Egyp- tian into signing the treaty which only would make his victory effective. He. had 19 interviews with Mehemet, in which the Englishman by turns argued, flattered and threatened bis antagonist, who listened day . after day with the cease immovable, smiling countenance. One day Sir Charles, in speaking of England, said casually that it "was governed by a lucky woman." A strange norant men who hold them believe in an invisible power who oan give good or i11 fortune at his will. .Are they more foolish than the educated, busy man, who recognizes no power in life stron- ger than his own will and effort? THE CIVIL WAR. Some Facts For Folks Who Aro Not Sure When It Ended. Many people think Appomattox marked the end of the war, as Sumter did its beginning. As a matter of fact the war did not end offioially until Aug. 20, 1866, when President Johnson issued a proclamation announcing that war was at an end and that peace, or- der and tranquillity and civil authority existed in all the states. While Lee's surrender was not the end of the war, it was the beginning of the end. John- ston surrendered on .April 26, Diok Tay- lor on May 4 and Kirby Smith not until May 20. On May 18, more than a month after Lee's surrender, a sharp fight took place at Palmetto Ranch, in Texas, which is called by Jefferson Davis and other authorities the last battle of the war. The commander of the Union troops, mostly colored, says in his report: "The last volley of the war, it is be- lieved, was fired by the Sixty-second United States Colored infantry, about sunset on May 18, 1865, between White's ranch and the Boca Chico, Texas." In this fight, which took plane on the American side of the Rio Grande river, the Mexican Imperialists sent over a body of cavalry, whioh aided the Confederates in their last and success- ful attaok. On June 18 Tennessee was declared at peace; June 28 the blockade was raised; July 22 Grant made his last official report; April 2, 1866, procla- mation that Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis- sippi and Florida were tranquil was is. sued by the prosideut; Aug. 20, 1860, 'war was officially declared ended. The latter date was in 1867 fixed by oongress as the official and legal date of the Close of the war.—New York World. His heavy voice.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON VIII, FOURTH QUARTER, IN- TERNATIONAL SERIES, NOV. 21. Text of the Lesson, Eph. p1, 10-20—Mem- ory Verses, 13-17—Golden Text, Eph. 10 —'Commentary by the Bev. D. M. Stearns. 10. "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." The first three chapters set forth our salvation, or rather His salvation, in ill its fullness. Then we are taught in the following chapters what our walk in the Lord, or our daily life, should be, and now in the verses of our lesson we are taugbt how to do it and to adorn the doc- trine of God our Saviour in all things (Titus ii, 10). My readers and bearers must be very familiar with Eph. ii, 10, but it only just comes to me now to associate with it Titus ii, 10. Thank the Lord for the association. May the words grip us with power! 11. "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." There is a real per- sonal devil, the enemy of God and man, at present the prince of the power of the air, the prince of this world, whose prison will soon be the bottomless pit and his final abode the lake of fire and' brimstone (Johli sly, 80; Eph. ii, 2; Rev. ss, 2, 8, 10). 12. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood." The demons who do the devil's work arenot all visible in theform of men or women, The air is often full of them. They come at us when we are weak and alone and fairly storm us with tbeir evil thoughts and lies. They Dome at ns in the house of God, and when we read His word, and even when on our knees in prayer. How than we know them? They age the opposite of all that is of Gomel, Righteousness and peace and rest and quietness aro all of God and His Spirit through Christ. The opposite must be of the devil. 18, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand." Ono of tho first and greatest things is to understand that as we are saved freely by His grace (Epb. 8; Rom. iii, 24), so we stand continually in the same grace (Rom. v, 1, 2) or uude- served favor of God. Unless we see clearly that all our salvation from first to last is wbolly undeserved on our part, and is ours only in and through Jesus Christ and His finished work, satan will get many an ad- vantage over us. Wo are not worthy, but Thou art worthy, 0 Lord. On that let us stand firmly and continually. 19. "Stand, therefore, halving your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness." Our Lord said, "I am the Truth," and He is also made unto us righteousness (John xiv, 0; I Cor. 1, 80; II Cor. v, 21), so that when we havo learned to see no one but "Jesus only," to "run with patience looking unto Jesus," and ever to consider Bim (Math. avis, 8; Hob. xis, 2, 8), we have learned the secret of standing firmly. 15. "And your feet shod with the prep- aration of the gospel of peace." The feet shod also takes us bank to the Passover verse (Ex. xis, 11), for we oan do nothing and are asked to do nothing till we are sato under the blood. Wo aro also remind- ed by Iso. 111, 7, "How beautiful upon the mountains am the foot of him that bring- eth good tidings, that publtsheth peaoe." The first thing is to bo made nigh by the blood of Christ, "for He is our peace" (Eph. ii, 13, 14). Than have the mind staid on Him in perfect peace (Isa. xavi, 8). Then carry the tidings of peace through the blood of His Dross (Col. 1, 20) to every creature. 16. "Above all taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one." Many trials are very fiery, but none the less precious as tokens of His approval who gives us fellowship with Himself (I ' Pet. iv, 12, 13). He has not promised to keep us out of the Bre, but to be with us in it, even as with Daniel's friends (Isa. sills, 2; Dan. iii, 25), and if He oan be better seen in the fire with us shall we not praise Him even for that? But as to these fiery darts of the devil which he burls at us, there is not one tbat need touch us to harm us, for all may be quenched by a quick and firm "I believe God" (Acts xxvii, 25). Confidence in God and reli- ance upon His word will do it every time. 17. "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." In I Tbess. v, 8, it is writ- ten, "For an helmet, the hope of salva- tion." This is the completion of our sal- vation at 131s coming, whicb is every day nearer than when we believed (Rom. xiii, 11). The blessed bope that purifies (I John 111, 3), for then we shall be like Him, even as to our bodies, for we shall see Him as He is (Phil. iii, 21; Rom. viii, 23). From first to last all the knowledge and comfort of this Dome to us through His word, which isforevor settled in heaven and true from the beginning (Ps. oxix, 89, 180). 18. "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and sup- plication for all saints." Our Lord spent whole nights in prayer. David and Daniel prayed many times a day (Ps. lv, 17; Dan. vi, 10). We should pray without ceasing (I Thess. v, 17). It is possible to be ever in an attitude of prayer, constantly commun- ing with Him about everything. He who prays honestly will expect answers and watch for them as truly as the boy who throws bis ball into the air watches for it to return to Mm. 19. "And for me that utterance may be given auto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel." Ho said to the Corinthians, "In everything ye aro enriched by Him, in all utterance and in all knowledge" (I Cor. A). And yet, recognizing his own weakness and the reality of the wiles of the devil, be asks prayer for himself that be may have utterance and boldness for Cbrist. Paul was very conscious of his own weakness and often spoke of it. 20. "For which I am an ambassador in bonds; that therein (margin thereof) I may speak boldly as I ought to speak," The Lord's messengers with the Lord's message are supposed to have no fear of man, nor of the face of man, yet many are very weak, and not many seem to declare, without thought of man's frown or favor, the whole council of God. Many ministers seem to know little or nothing of themys- tery of wbieh Paul has just spoken, and more fully in chapter iii, the mystery hid from the beginning of the world and spe- cially revealed to Paul; that during the postponement of the kingdom God is gath- ering from Jews and gentiles a body for Christ, the church, which shall be one with Him when He shall conte in His glory and take unto Him Ilis great power and reign. Many seem to think that in- stead of gathering out a body for Christ He is seeking, the conversion of the world, and are therefore working and walking in much darkness. LATEST MARKET REPORTS.
