their agitation for a Patron. They are

that devotion to family may conflict with

pay out from $75,000 to $125,000 some

Toronto World: Rural School trus-
tees are great sticklers for economy.
They desire, no doubt, that the children -
in their section shall receive as good an
educational training as possible, but they
insist that it shall be imparted at the
least possib le cost. Therefore the
stereotyped phrase, "apply, stating
salary," appears in OV ery advertisement
for a new tea cher. The province grinds

school gra.aate-te; 'obtain employment
ho' sed 'trustees to adopt the methods

tics of allowing applicants to underbid
one another have resulted in retaining
the teacher' salaries at the minimum
notch, past success availing little with
the average farmer trustee, cheapness
superseding everything else. The usual
salary Raid in township schools is $300,
in. villages and smaller towns $600 may
be reached, but seldom is. Yet people
wonder that so many suocessful biroh
wield orales attelteir uteafassipa. atanithetaa-
poration authorities are -forbidden to
advertise for tenders -when filling stated
offices, the salary proposed to be paid
must be stated. The result is that the
choice is based on the applicant's fitness
for the position. School trustees "go in
blind" to a large extent, and if the
teacher proves a success all well and
good, if not they advertise and try one of
the lowest salaried applicants. Hon. G.
W. Ross should embody a clause in the
next amexidment to the Public Sohool
Act compelling all school boards to state
the stipend paid to teachers, and thus
remove all possibility of underbidding in
a profession which is notoriously over-
crowded.

The idea of giving municipalities a
greater latitude in the matter of taxat-
ion is being urged in various quarters,
and has been carried into law in some
Provinces of the Dominion, with good
results. The matter is being taken up
in the Province of Ontario in an organ-
ized way. A form of petition has
been prepared, asking the Ontario Gov-
ernment for Local Option in Taxation.
copy of this is being sent to every
municipality, accompanied by a circular
Which sets forth reasons iri favor of the
petition. Following is an extract from

Joranrrn, ,Tan. 9, --Ye.sterday in the trial
of Roo ?er, Judge •Oelorinaier decided to
admit the story of ltienapted drowning as
evidence. This is a very important de-
cision for the Crown.
Joseph E, Grenie a an important witnese
in the ease, has died at Montreal, It WM
he who opened the door of Mrs. Desatilier's
house at Louiseville, at two caolock in the
morning for Mrs. :Iooper, •who said she
had been thrown off the ra,livray bridge
into tbe River dn Loup. This is the
second important •vitness who hart died
since the inquest.
Hooper's father la in the city and will
watch the trial until the close. He feels
keenly the position his son is placed
Iii.
G. .A. Grenier, merchant, Louiseville,
testified that it was his brother, now dead,
who geoe evidence at the preliminary trial.
Witness was called to prove his brothses
death. Witaess was at his mint's Mrs.
Desauliers at Louiteville, Septenaher 13,
and about 1,00 am, he heard some one
groaning and went to the door and found
a woman there. Be asked her who she
was and she said, " I ara little Georgina."
At tale point Mr. Greenshields said that
as prisoner was not present when the con-
versation between witness and deceased
took place, that the whole Louisville affair
had nothing at all, to do with the charge
against prisoner. The charge against him
was poisoning hic. wife. Therefore the
drowning part of the affair could have no
bearing on the oese, In reply Mr. Mc-
Master and Mr. Cornellier held that the
Lomeeville part of the story should be
allowed as it threw light on subsequent
events.
Judge Delorimiee admitted the evidence
as having some bearing upon the case.
Thus tae Louisville part of the story will
go to Cie jury, This decision is moat im-
portant for the Crown.
Continuing his evidence, witness said
the woman was web froni head to foot and
looked as if she haa just come out of the
water, When asked where she came from
she replied: "I have just come out of the
river, where I was pushed from a bridge
by a wicked black man, who Aztec" to get
papers to put me fn LonguePointAsy-
lum." After she was put to bed she men-
tioned the name of John several times and
requested that all the doors ba locked/and
if anyone came for her not tcaleethem in.
Her clothing was meakedCl." The fol-
lowing.- day; ocint:lued witness, I dined
deceased, and asked her who threw
her into the river, and she said; "John,"
but she did not say who John was, nor, if
he was her husband.
• Croes-examined by Mr. Renaud -At
times tihe spoke very wildly. She did. not
say she had jurapod into the river to save
the world. I do not remember her saying
that. She also said she had been pushed
off the cars.
Joseph Nolan, operator at Lepiphanie
station oh the 0. P. R., was the first wit-
ness ytsterday. On September 13 be re-
. calved a message from a braltesman which
read "Look out for a crazy woman. who
jumped off a train." The message was not
signed and so had not been fLata with

Ernest Vien, operator at Louiseville sta-
tion, more he saw accused about Septem-
ber 12 walking along the bank of the river
at Louiseville. Later accused came to the
station and enquired about the arrival and
departure of trainee He asked particularly
what time there was between the departure
of the down express and the arrival of the
up train. Ile was told there was a differ-
ence of about an hour.
Oontinuing his evidence in the afternoon
Ernest Vien, 'egirtfther at Louiseville
'station, swore that when the prisoner was
at Louiseville enquiring about the arrival
and departure of trains, he sent a message
and signed it Cooper. Witness was told to
return to Louiseville and get the message.
Miss Desaulien of Louiseville, tow de-
ceased the morning after she was found
and she said Viet a big black man Pushed'
her into the -river and held her under until
he thought she was drowned. She got
ashore, after he let her go, by the aid of
-some branches overhanging the river. The
day following, when she saw her husband,
she tent her arms around him and said,
"John, , my husband." He treated her
coldly and she got angry, whereupon the
peisoner caressed her.
" Do you swear that deceased said pri-
soner throw her off the train ?"
"Yes, and she also said he had tried to
poison her with paris groan."
Joseph: Alfred Desilets, hardware mer-
chant at Louiseville, said he saw acoused
at Louiseville and. took dinner with him.
Dr. Lindsay was with accused At the time.
• Shortly after the prisoner's departure, wit-
ness heard of crazy woman being found.
Napoleon Mineault, hotelkeeper, at
Louiseville, said that he did not see the
pricioner there on September 12. Prison-
er's name was not on the hotel register.

testified he was on the freight train
which Hooper brought deceased on. De-
ceased 'refused to go on board when she
taw the train, and Debating to prisener

THE NAPAN EE MURDER -
Thomas Whelan Discharged-Sitm BY!"
donee Against Barney King.
Nanarina, Jam Q. -The investigation
before Melte° Magistrate Daly yesterday in
the alcLeod murder case resulted in a
rather tame manner. One of the pilsoners,
Thomas Whelan, was discharged without
any evidence being put in against him,
after beinct confined in jail for eight days.
A, number of wituessee were examined
against Berney King, but so far the evi-
dence is very light and has every appear-
ance of being worthless. The Crown At-
torney, Mr. A. L, Morden, asked to have
the accused remanded. agmn for eight days
and the maaistrate coneented to this being
done, The evidence against Davern will
be called to -day.
As yet no evidence for Ring in rebuttal
has been given by his counsel. James
Warren, a Napanee lawyer, it; in Miohigan
looking up evidence in his behalf. Mr.
Warren says that Ring was at the Mine of
the murder in Pontiac, and on the next
day secured work in the shop of. Tames
1VieKenna. Unfortunately for Ring, Mr.
McKenna does not keep a very acourate set
of books, so that the only entry to show
that Ring was really employed there was
en ent'ty of $16 paid September 22.
M'GREEVY AND CONNOLLY.
Argument In Their Case Commenced in
the Chancery Divisional Court.
TORONTO, an. 9. -Before the Caencery
Divisional Court, yesterday argereent com-
menced on the kit, ate4 casein the Connolly -
McGreevy matter.
Evidence was produeed at the trial at
Ottawa based upon letters between Thomas
And Robert McGreevy. It was objected to
by counsel for ifte defence, but neverthe-
less allowed. But the ground for the ob-
jection was sound, and in consequence
Mr. Justice Rose consented to reserve a
case for the Divisional Court to determine
whether the court was right or wrong in.
admitting the evidence. Argument will
also be heard upon the question of prac-
tice as to whether the court was right in
allowing the counsel for the defence. The
object of it all is to quash the conviction
or failing this to obtain a new trial.
• afroAylesworth, Q.0,'and Mr. Blake, Q.
a, appear for Messrs. Connolly and Mc-
Greevy, and Mr. Osler, Q. C., and Mr,
Kerr, Q.C., for the Crown. The argument

Iularket for Cturadian Wheat Rather
Than the Other Way.
°wawa, Jan. 9. -Mr, John, B. Riley,
CoissunGeneral of the United States here,
has forwarded to the State Department of
Washington his reply to the ciacular re-
oently received by him asking foe informa-
tion as to the consumption of wheat an1
flour in. Canada,
He states; that'the standard of living in
Canada is practically the same as in the
United States, and that the same quality
of our is used. Canada is essentially, a
wheat producing country, and the import-
ation of American wheat and wheat our
are only nominal.
For the year ending June 30, 1892, Can-
ada imported 66,113 bushels of wheat,
66,105 of which came from tlae United
States, and 36,559 barrels of wheat flour,
of which 34,338 came from the United
States, and during the same year Canada
exported 8,714,151 bushels of domestics
wheat, of which 1,489,881 bushels were
sent to the United States and 380,996 bar-
rels of domestia wheat flour, of which
3,998 for the United States. Taken to-
gether, these figures show that the United
States affords a market for Canadian
wheat and wheat flour rather than the con-
verse.
Marshall P. Thatcher, United States
Consul at Windsor, Ont., answers the
question, whet are the prospects of ex-
tending the trade in wheat our in Can-
ada by saying I can answer this more
intelligibly when Congress disposes of the
Wilson tariff bill"

LIEBE'S MARY A. SLIP.
Now that winter has come, many horses
and cattle will be injured by slipping. A
strain causes a lameness whieb if properly
attended to from ,.the start will soon be
mired, but if left a hard subatanee
often forms over a joint and a serious
blemish results. Dick's Liniment should
be applied as soon as any lameness is
shown, while it a Spavin, Curb or Ring-
bone has already formed, it cam be oured
with Dick's Blister. Get Dick's, it only 1
costs 50 oents. I
