Herbert, Brittou, a on of the occupant, remonstriated with him and lathed him to go Away, but he refused. Britton then took a double betraled. shotgun nod fired a shoe over Jones' head to care him away. The only effeot was to enrage the men, wile fired more stones through the wiadowe and threatened to break the door in. Then Britton fired mother shot, but this time it was meant for the invader, and took effect in one of hie lege. Thirty•one No, 4 shot were distributed between his knee and ankle. Then his Week ceased, and when taken home by Messrs. Diumett and Mo - Clelland, Drs..10,nes and Richardson ordered his removal to the General Hospital. Young Britton surrendered himaelf £1,t daylight yesterday morning and was promptly admitted to bail by Justice ames. The doctors at the hospital are of the opinion that if tlae man escapes with noth- ing worse than the loss of his leg he wili be doing very well. His injuries are of a very serious nature. Jones was brought to tho hospital at 6 o'clock last night in a buggy by his wife. Mrs. Jones gave this version of the army: " My husband is a wholesale butcher, and on Tuesday visited the city. It was about 11.30 o'clock whep he reached Eglinton. Be was passing along the street, when he met young Herbert Britton, who lives with his mother at Eglinton, and young Britton shot him. I do not know yrhat) motive Britton had in shooting my husband unless• was spite." "What could he have had spite agaieut your husband for; wasthere a woman m the ease ?" queried the reporter. "I am sure there was no woman in the ease, and as for spite I suppose it was be. clause of some gossip going around. But I am sure there was no scandal." Mrs. Jones states that the arrest of Britton was not brought about by her or her husband. "My husband," she con- tinued, "did not think it necessary to take any proceedings until he got better. The statement of the facts of the case as given by Mrs. Britton is as follows n The Brittonsfheard no enore'nf him until Tuesday night, about 12 o'clock, when he drove up to the door and demanded admittance. No attention WU paid to him'and in his rage h ' e threw a stone fully as large as a man's head, through the front bedroom window. Young Britton called to him saying that if he did not move on he wonld be shot. Jones, instead of going away, at this tried to batter the door down with a piece of rock. Young Mitten fired his gun out of the window to frighten the man outside, but he was not so easily soared. He dared the boy to show himself, and when he did so he threw half, a dozen stones into the window in rapid suc- cession.

To his English anceetore the antiquaries concede a long and distinguished line, but the peerage of Sotherland, through the Scotoh earldom which he inherited through his grandmother and whieh dates heck to 1228, is the most anoient in the kingdom. The Duke was married in 1819 to Anna Mackenzie, who was, in 18613 emoted Countess of Crornartie int her own right, which title is settled on her second eon, Viecount Terbat, who spent some months in this country a few yeare shine The Duke was uncle to the Marquis of Lorne, Governor•General of Canada.

V 164.0.1•••••••••••••••• Trouble in the College of' Physloians aua Surgeons. SOME FEU ARE TOO HIGH. A Toronto report says: For the past two years considerable friction has existed between the Council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Proving° and certain of its members, arising mainly from fecent legislation secured by the council in the matter of annual fees. So acute had the situation become that the nomeohtents formed a Medical Defence Association for the purpose of offering an organized resistance to the action of the council and of securing repeal of the ob. noxious legielation. In the hope of healing the breach and if possible arriving at BOUM satisfactory compromise, a meeting was held yesterday afternoon at the Medical Hall, Bay and Richmond etreets. Among those present was Dr. Cockburn, of Hamilton. The meeting lasted several hours, and thes disouestion at times WAS Very aorimonious and personal, nearly every one present taking part therein. Dr. MoLaughlin (stated the cam of the non -contents, which briefly was that they protested most strongly against the imposition of fees by a council which was non -representative. Of 26 mem- bers, 0 were collegiate representatives, 5 homeopaths and only 12 the elected of the rank and file of the profession throughout the Province. If the profession, were given control of the country they would gladly pay the fees, whatever they might be. Not only didthe council take the fees from the members against their wish, but they com- pelled every boy or girl coming up for ex- amination and registration to pay $100, whereas the cost of the same services in New York was only $25 and in Englend $35. Lawyera paid. but $17 for examina. nations, all reports, UBO of Osgoode Hall library and a voice in the election of bombers. The council was extravagant, too. They had illegally spent $96,000 on the building they were occupying, and had $60 000 of a mortgage, whereas the $36,000 "What a Perfect family! How sale Tall difference would have pub up all that was were to have ortolans for appear l'" needed. Dr. MoLeughlin instanced much The Duke's town house is built on a, por- eine which he claimed was unsatisfactory, tion of ground diverted from the Royal but these were the main pinta. Dr. Bergin, M. P., thought it was very =fortunate that there had been so much washing of dirty linen in public. Dr. Mc- Laughlin presented the following as a basis for a compromise: (1) The repeal of the clause in tho act empowering the levying of AU annual certificate on payment of a $2 fee. (2( The suspension of section 27, which pro- vides for the payment of the said fee, until after the next election of council. (3) The election of all the members of council by popular vote, except one each from Toronto, Queen's, Trinity and Western Universities and five homeopaths; and, lastly, the election of council every three instead of five years.. pronaieed this proposal the most oar On behalf of the council, Dr. Ber0: a consideration, and the meeting adjountent on that understanding.

It was erected for the late Duke of York, but the Prince died very much in debt when the mansion WAS only half finished, and his executors were only too pleased to sell the sleeletoa palace to the chief of the house of Leveson -Gower. The internal appointments are on a style worthy of a leery castles or an abode of Bagdad's mighty Caliph in the "Arabian Nights." One marvelous feature of the house is the great staircase, which fills the entire centre of the mass of building and in loftiness occupies the total heigbt. From base to ceiling every portion is resplendent with gilding and carving, and a gallery, which runs round three sides, is supported by magnificent marble pillara, and in com- partments, covering the entire wale, are copies by Lorenzi of mveral of Pan' Veronese's colossal pictures. s dor leads into a zer' t - manta," =pose of get- mortern statement from Wm. ones, the wholesale butcher of Eglinton who was idiot in the leg by a young man owned Bert Britton. It appears that after Jones was admitted to th.e hospital blood poisoning set in and his life is despaired of. Mr. Dewart found the patient unconscious, and the house surgeons believed that he coul& not live more teen twenty-four hours. During the afternoon Britton was taken into custody, but subsequently released on $2,000 bail. TWO SOAPPOLD A.CCIOENTS. -- Several Torontonians In nred, Soule Prob- ably Fatally. A Toronto report Says : A few minutes before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a por- tion of a scaffold erected on the western side of the new addition to Bt. Claren's Avenue School, now under construction, suddenly gave way, and five workmen engaged upon it at the time, with a considerable quantity of brick, two mortar boards a hod and the planks which composed the flooring of the scaffold, fell with a crash to the ground, a distance of thirty feet. A bricklayer named William Campbell saved himself by olinging to a window -sill, but all thous who fell were injured, some possibly fatally. Their names aro: Samuel Yokes, con- tractor, No. 47 FoxIey avenue; Mark Gray, No. 5 Marshall avenue; David. Curry, No. 75 Major street; Joseph Pickert same oddness.? and Benjamin Stacey, rear of No. 66 Denison avenue, an apprentice to Mr. Yokes. The men were quickly extricated from the fallen planless and laid upon the ground. Drs. Spence and Ray were sum. i Pickert s most seriously injured, and is now lying in the hospital His leg is broken. Curry has sustained internal injuries which may prove fate'. The acci- dent was caused by the breaking of the foot -block. All the men happened to be at one place on the scaffold, and near a heavy mass of 'Mick. Curry arrived with another hod full and the scaffold broke. A libtle more than an hour after this accident another of a similar character occurred In another part of the city. James Hughes, No. 302 Wilton avenue, was engaged in shingling a naansard roof ab the corner of Birch avenue and Queen street, when the aced:told collapsed and he fell to the ground.

A Secret Marriage Zead.-4—gr 3t tel m. efee --* emo e A New York despatch says: Vanderbilt brought an action in Supreme Court yesterday to recover $1 000 from Capt. Jacob Vanderbilt, of St Island, and son of Commodore Vanderbilt, for the alienation of the a 'stations of her husband and his son, Jasofassm2h! Vanderbilt. She declares that she came from a email town in the interior of the State and met nor husband in this city, where, at his re- quest, they were married under assumed names in the spring of 1886. He requested that their marriage be kept a secret, as be was afraid bis father would out him off. In 1887 he said he would have to leave her as Ids father had learned of their marriage. At a meeting of counsel for them on June 27th, 1887, she declares his father agreed to give her $1,000a year if she would consent to a operation and drop the name of Vander- bilt. She declined, and in 1888 sued her husband for separation on the ground of abandonment. a -odic() Barrett gave her $100 a week alimony and a counsel fee of $500. The action has not been brought to tried. In the present case her counsel says she has letters of Capt. Vanderbilt which will show that he alienated the affections of her husband. Capt.

To keep a piano ease in good order great care must be taken in the application of so- called "piano polish," whistle is constantly being offered for the purpose of malting the instrument look bright. A very little polish should be used, and that must be rubbed off well with a soft woolen cloth. The besb way to clean a piano is to use lukewarm water, and a fine oil chamoia. Go over the case a little at a time and rub dry with your chamois skin. Bruises may be removed by the application of a little pumice stone. Always use a silk duster for piano. Cutting Bread at Table.

A Hamburg cable says: The steamers Busy Bee and Daoiz were in collision to. day, and the latter vessel was so badly damaged that she went to the bottom. The retearaere same together with great force, and a scene of death and ruin resulted. The-Dafeiz was nearly torn asunder by the sharp bow of the Busy Bee, and her cap. thin, mate and pilot were killed. The wild- est excitement prevailed among them of the Daolz's crew who had escapes' death, and as it was seen at a glance that the vessel had been so badly damaged that it was only a question of a abort time when she would go down, they hastened to leave the steamer before she foundered. The Busy Bee ren- dered all the assistance possible, and all but the three men mentioned were safely rescued. The Daoiz was a Spanish steamer of 618 tons burden.

Saved from the crowd by the police, Jackers took refuge in a lion's cage in the circus.

She is young almost to childish - nese, exceedingly beautiful and gentle in manner, and personally unsophiaticated and inexperienced in the worldly wisdom which manifests iteelf in her book. Upon reading her book, upon which she spent two years in writing, and which was never men by anyone until after it was treateribed by the typewriter, her father exclaimed, "I lean - not understand how this little girl, kept by us in cloistered walk, has written this book." Miss Gilmore was: educated at the convent of the Sacred Hoare and Eden Hall, and has travelled much with her parents both in this country and abroad.

"Haddon Hall," a new opera by Sir Arthur Sallis-an,libretto by.Sidney Grundy, was tried on the Londoners at the Savoy Theatre, Saturday evening, with indiffer- ent succees. " Haddon Hall" is said to be a croze between " Ivanhoe " and "H. M. S., Pinafore," The story is laid in the days of Cromwell, Sir George Vernon, the master of the ball, having commanded his daughter to marry her cousin, a puritani- cal felkw, ehe elopes with another and is married. The Puritan retainers of the abandoned lover thereupon sing this lugub- rious song : Down with princes, down with peoples. Down with churches, down with steeples; Down with love and down with marriage, Dowo with all who keep a carriage; Down with lord and down with lady, Up with everything thateeshady. Down with life and down with laughter, Down With landlords, down with land, Whom the soil belongs to after We could never understand: Pleasure, we can do without it Down with court and down with king, And just while wear° abouti Down with every blessed thing. The opera was handsomely staged and finely sung. NISEIVED 4OVARDIAN. An VA fortuu4te Man Who Was About 10- 11.reali 1:111 TholowoWs I was the ouly passenger in the car.
