M4Kr SURE OF IT. The Allvocees is indebted to the HamiIton Spectator for the fallowing concise exposition of the election law regarding votes for the Legislative As- sembly. Every man 21 years old should. seta that his franchise is assumed. It seems to be exceedingly difficult to get the people to understand that theme is a new law ---or rather a further com- plleaeion of the old complicated laws— fee the making of lists of voters. It matters not bow many times a na;al,lloed xnffrage elector has had his name on the Het —he frust be registered or he cannot vote at the coming pre- viaeial election. It matters not that a enauhood Suf. frage elector voted at the recent city election—he must be registered or be cannot vote at the coming provincial election, It matters not bow much property a mato owusiend is asseeesed for—if he does not reside, on the property he can not vote at the corningP rovineial elec. tiara unless be is registered. For in. steno, a titan rias own a nrillioa dal lace' worth of property in every ward in the cit} and live at the Igival hotel. That titan's value will net appear in the voter', list far the provincial tette tion unless be is registered. What the electors have to do is to thoroughly y underetaud that there has been: a change in the law", .and that, un, lees they have been set down as °con pants of conte property, °wiled or rent ed they must be registered or forfeit the right to vote. Be sure you are on the list, Na matter bow often you have voted; no matter how much property you own; be euro that your name is on the firs: part of the voters' list, .and if is not there be sure you are registered, ar ,you will he without a vote.

London, Jan,. 2C,—The Daily Standard in an editorial presents what is presum- ably the official conservative view of the Chincaa situation. It says: "A mini sur- vey ur vey of the situation as it exists on the spot scarcely encourages the hope that by the mere lapse of time everything will arrange itself. Russia and Great Britain are now in. a position in which it is clear that one or the other will have to give way. It ought not to be Groat Britain.

A senti•oilicial eon;muuicatiou received at .`."t. Petersburg', purporting to enianatd front Loudon, says that the British war vessels at Port .Arthur have been ordered to leave there without delay.

Discussing the situation in China, the London correspondent of the New Yarn Sun cables his papa r: •The most wholesome and refreshing feature at tote situation is the eager and unanirnoes welcome which all Great Bri- tain bas given to the verilo and 'rigorous pollee to which the Sel'isbury t overnment bas committed itself.

It is for this .reason, perhaps, that the talk about war has excited little alarm or approheu Cm in the country at large, and the grave forebodings in to.day's journals only servo to inspire popular enthuelasrn. Tho more serious weekly reviews pub - Babied, while recognizing fully the grave nature of tiro Government's uoclaton, join in the universal approval." Weekly Reviews in ]'die. The Spcetattor says; "The country as a whole, though hardly yet fully awake to the situation, is resolutely With the tiuv- ernmeut. Tho masses will follow the two front benches eagerly if America deelnres upon our side, but in any case with patient resolution, The notion that this country has been of late too submissive to the Continent has gonodeop into their ininds.

Tbo whole Kingdom, there- fore, though utterly disliking war, would consider this a war of self-defence, and will support its statesmen of both parties in most determined action." Saturday ]review Approves. The Saturday Review says: "In this policy, England has the support of Japan and the United Status, and the strength of either of these powers, added to Eng- land, ;In the Pacifica, puts resistance on the part of Russia, Germany and France, singly or in combination, outof the ques- tion. Perhaps the enthusiasm with which the American newspapers have applauded the declaration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer arises from the fact that be has virtually proclaimed a Monroe doc• trine for the far East. The Saturday Re- view remembers no occasion on which a Cabinet Minister, speaking of such a crisis, has used the actual word war in reference to a foreign power. It is a now departure, but it is calculated that the indiscretion has produced a good effect both at home and abroad." Other Expressions. The Radical Speaker, instead of oppos- ing the Government policy, labors to make sure that Lord Salisbury will not back down when the test tomos. It urges the Government to make it clear to the world that it is not bluffing, but is ready to follow words with action. On the same subject, the London cor- respondent of the New York Evening Post says: "England bus spoken the one word which Lord Palmerston once said was for- bidden in diplomatic intercourse. Quite characteristically, she has spoken it through the mouth of a typical English country squire in the Cabinet, who rarely uses expletives, but who, when he does swear, comes out with a heartfelt `Damn it.' It was Sir Michael Hicks -Beach who told France recently that England would not be worried out of Egypt. It is Sir Michael Hicks -Beach who, this week, de • dares with equal emphasis that England will not hesitate at war if any other power attempts to close the door on China. Commerce must he kept free for the whole world in China, even if England has to fight for it. Hatters Brought to a Head.

Brown, a young farm- er, of Hullett township, which took place on. July 1st, 1897. The evout dial not at the time excite more than. local interest, because, although the man's death was of itself a tragedy, it was not at the time thought, that the cause was due to anything but suicide. Recent incidents, however, in connect- ien with the affair have caused a wide spread feeling of unrest among the neighbors, and have led to the opeuing of an investigation by the Attorney General's Department, with a view to ascertaining what foundation, if any, exists for the rumors, which have by this time become so .common. Within the, past week Chief I:napeetor Murray, of the Criminal Ittveetig;ation Depart- ment, has visited Myth, and has inter- viewed many of those who might be supposed to kl:ow something of the eir eumstauees. What the results of his enquiries have been is, of course, not known, but it is uelikely that the ease xa ill be allowed to rest moil all srecul Atkin regarding it ha; been quieted. DISTORT OF TIM OAST, The facts are as follows: --James Brown, aged 8$ years, lived until last July ou his farm. not far from here, with his wife and four children, He was fairly prosperous, !Lavine' an mater epee of $1,000 on hie life, and a corn fortable living from his property. He was a fine lookkig rnau, about six fent ata height, and weighing over tl'0 petteda, With him lived hi$hired lla:hn, Albert Haggitt, a man of about 28 years, shorter of stature, aud less pre possessing, it is said, in appearance It is stated here that between liaggitt and Mrs. Browu a friendship sprang up. which Brown himself regarded with anything but favor. and this, or utter causes led to liaggitt's dismissal an the last day of July of last year, Browu told the loan, au the morniug of that day, that be must leave, and be left accordingly. AT ILIUS FA'r1RER'S VARS. Brown's father owns a farm about a mile from where Brown lived, and near the village of Laudeshourgb. and after dismissing' the man Brown took a horse and went aver there to work, leaving his wife at home. Be remained there all day working in the field, and dur- ing the afternoon Haggitt came over there, and remained for a while, going then to the hotel iti the village, whore he had some drinks. I'revioue to going there, however, he went back to Brown's place in his absence, where be saw and conversed for a considerable time with She. Brown, his alleged reason for going back being some to beetle which Brawn's brother; he said, was to have left for him. While at the eider Brown's farm, Haggitt saw and conversed with his ex employer; het it is not known that any words passed between them. LAST SEE, OF III\t At eight o'clock in the evening Brown .left his father's to return home, having, with him his horse acd his sec and child, a girl about eight years old. On his way he had to pass through a belt of hush, and that was the last seen of him alive by any of his neighbors. ,e. however, stated that at or about he same time in the evening Haggitt led Mrs. Brown were seen approach - 'g the bush, from diflerent directions, .hethcr by chance or not, or for what +urposc', is not uppercut. FOUND DEAD NEXT DAY. Next morning the neighborhood was hocked by the discovery that Brown a,d been found by bis wife hanging to a beam in a stall of his barn, quite dead. The discovery was made by Mrs Brown who called iu two neighbors, a Mr. Cole and a Mr. Phillips, to see the body, when these gentlemen reached the h;,rn the body was not hanging from the beam, but was lying on the floor, the rope still around the neck, and death having apparently been caused. by strangulation. It appeared evident that the unhappy man had in a fit of despondency, taken this means of end- ing life. MRS. BROWN'S STORY. Mrs. Brown, in answer to the queries of the excited neighbors, told her story. She said that Mr. Brown had returned during the evening from his father's place, and the family had retiresat the usual hour. At about four o'clock in he morning, she continuede her hue hand arose, and left the house. She remained in bed for another hour, and then got up, and did some house- work; she then went to milk the cows, and was taking a pail of milk into the barn when, in the increasing Tight of the morning, she saw Brown's body hanging from the beam. She put away rhe milk, and going over to her hus- band's body, caught hold of the rope - end, and pulled, thus releasing a slip knot by which it was fastened. and let ting the body down to the floor. This being done. and finding life evidently extinct, she sent to arouse the two neighbors, who came to her assistance. A DOCTOR CALLED IN.: Being themselves unable to do any hing ?1r Cole remained in charge of :he body, which was not a glowed to be moved, and Mr. Philips went for Dr. Agnew, of Londesborough, who at once ++•cut out to the scene of the tragedy. It was alien found that rigor mor[is had set it) and tica•t the man bad evidently been dead for several 'mitre. This fact hardly accorded with the theory that. he hal 'only left his bid at four o'clock and !Mrs. Brown it is stated, did not ,,and liy her recollection of the time i 1241r1 further questioned. saying that .he could not be positive of the time tier : husbaaid had arisen; nor was 'there alio other .eyideuce available on the point the Children having been asleep! and,Haggitt.having left tho pretnises!UNEXPECTED COMPANY the day before. A PERFUNCTORY INQUEST, Coroner Milne, however, decided to hold an inquep, and empanelled a jury, but by some oversight the county at torney was not notified of it and was not present when the evidence was to ken, From what can be learned here the inquest was merely- perfunctory in its character it apparents having been taken for granted that the cause was .one of suicide, At the inquest beth Mrs Brown and Haggitt testified, the for- mer repeating her story- substantially as above given, and the latter swear- ing that on the night in question he had been at bis father's place some dis- tatace away. MARLS ON THE BODY, A post mortem was also ordered, and was made by Dr. Agnew of Londes- borough, and Dr. Tait, of Blyth An examination showed that Brown bore on his temple a mark such as might have been made by a heavy blow with a hammer, or by a wrench suet; as was found 11; fug in the barn, On the baek of the hips else, was a large bruise and yet othersan the arms and, wrists, while the legs were unmarked by con- tusious of any kind. It was at one time proposed that the head and skulk should be epoxied in order to see wheth or the blow en the temple, if sueh it was, had had any serious or fatal result but the suggestion was ultimately: re jeeted, and the evidence of the physie- lens was all itt favor of the suicide the ore-.. The jury accordingly brought in a verdict of death by strangulation, and the body was buried, neeeterr TAItni BACK. Thus, for the time, the affair was closest. Shortly afterwards, Haaggiti came back to Mrs. Brown, who still re emitted oe the fares, and resumed his position as hired man. His itifiueuce with the widow, it is alleged, grew dal ly, and as the hatter was exciting a good deal of comment, Mrs Brown was induced, it is said by her mother, to enee more discharge him. Again he was taken back, aud remained with. Mrs. Brown on the farm as hired man, urtttl last fall. when the widow held a sale, and realized upon the property which bad come to her from her bus band. She then went to livo with her father and matter, whose naive was Crawford, and who are also farmers in. the same vicinity. She bad been paid. the $1..000 of insurance on her late bus band's life, and this with the money from the sale, gave her quite a good sum on which to live. Haggitt also rsenlained in the neighborhood. IIAGGITT DOES 'r0 'r1IE STATES, This state of affairs continued until recently; when the former rumors again revived, and some of the neighbors sug- geeted an investigation into i3rown'e death. Then one day au item appear- ed in a Clinton paper to the effect that Chief Inspector Murray had been seen in the vicinity*; this did not happen to be true but on the following, day Hag gittleft the country and is now in the LTuited States, A request for an in- vestigation was seut'to Toronto, and Mr, Murray came up last week. The future action of the department will doubtless depend on the uature of his report. WANT AN EXHUMATION. The present excitement in this neigh borhood is no doubt:dice to the fact that the post-mortem on Brown's body was incomplete. Dr. Tait is quoted as hay fug said that the blow on the head was sufficient to have produced insensibili- ty, and people feel that considerations of expense should not be allowed to stand in the way of a complete investi- gation of this and other facts connected with the affair It is hoped that the de pertinent will order an exhumation of the body at once, as by this means it would be possible to settle speedily the uncomfortable feeling which at present exists. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. Coroner Milne, who held the inquest on Brown's body, was interviewed. He beard of the death of Brown from Dr. .Agnew, of Londesborough, who drove into Blyth to ask him to come and in- spect the remains. Dr. Agnew had been called in almost as soon as the body was found. The coroner went to the farm, and saw the body lying in the barn, and it presented all the evidence of strangulation. The throat was black- ened, and marked with the rope; the tongue was protruding to the furthest extent, and all the minor indications were present. He had never seen Brown before, but found him a big 'strapping fellow, six feet in height. Dr. Agnew told him that he had been, attending Brown for about three months for a sort of mental ailment. He had been up and about, but had done no work for months until the day before his death. He could not eat, and could not sleep, and Dr Agnew stated that it appeared to be a chronic case of melan- cholic with him. Brown was forever talking about the mortgage on his farm and frequently expressed the fear that he would never be out of debt. Coroner Milne also ascertained that Brown's mother was insane, and that his broth- ers were supposed to be soft; he there- fore concluded that Brown had commit - ed suicide, and decided to hold no in- quest He found a slight bruise on the 7Lich In Little Is especially true of Hood's Pills, for no meet - eine ever contained so great curative power in so small space.

Dr Milne returned to Blytb after his deeisiou not to holden inquest but previously told the father and brothers of the dead man that if they were not satispied they could appy for a warrant, The two ueighttevs, scale aud Philips, were doing a great deal of talking, and expressed the opinion that Brown had been killed a bit a wrench found lying on the barn floor 1)r, Agnew, however, who knew Brown well, concurred in the view that uo in.. quest was necessary.
