Statement of a Well Known Doctor
Ayer'S Sarsaparilla IS without an equal
as a blood -purifier and Spring medicine, and
cannot have praise enough. I have watched
its effects in chronic cases, where other
treatment was of po avail, and have been
astonished at the results. No other blood
medicine that I have ever used, and I have
tried them all, is so thorough in its action,
and effects so many permanent cures as

ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
HOURS OF PLOSING.
Cradfora auked whether munieipali-
ties in thie province had the power to
regulate the hours for the retail sale of
ignore therein, and, if not, -whet body had
the power.
Mr 31aroourt replied that according to a
deeiffion of Chief Justice Harrison the
municipalities: had not power toregulate the
the hours with regard to tavern% thougt
they had with regard to the retail rude in
shops. The license commiesioners had the
power with regard to both shops and
tavern&
LOXDOn NORMAL SOflOoL.
Mr, Whitney asked whether the Goveru-
ment had deoided upon the establishment
of a Normal school at London.
Mn Ross replied. in the negative
SALES OF STOCKS.
Mr. Howland asked—Is it the intention
of the Government to introduce during the
present eeesion an Act for the prevention
of sale of merchants' otook.in.trade with
intent to defraud creditors?
Sir Oliver Mowat replied that it had
been only within the last few days that his
attention had been called to the queation
of legislation of this character. He would
consider the Suggestion.
--- STATUTE LABOR.
Mr. Garrow moved the second reading of
a bill to amend the Municipal Aote He
explained that the bill sought to enable
some slight amendments to be made in the
law with regard to statute labor.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Wood (Brant) moved the second
reading of a bill to amend the Municipal
Aot. The object of the bill, he said, was
to enable incorporated villages, set apart
from the municipality under section 17 of
the Acb, to collect through the pathmastera
or road commissoners the statute labor as
commuted by the municipality.
REDUCTION OF JURORS.
Mr. hardy moved the second reading of
the bill respecting the verdicts of jurors in
civil cases in the High Court a and other
courts. He explained that the bill proposed
that the decision of ten jurors should be
sufficient to decide oases in civil courts.
The motion was agreed to.
SETTLED ESTATES.
Sir Oliver_ Mowat moved the second
reading of the bill retating to leases, sales,
and mortgages of settled estates. He ex-
plained that the law in this country was
similar to that introduced into England in
1865. Important amendments had been
made in the English law, however, render-
ing it simpler and better. The Object of
the present bill was to modify the existing
law in Canada, and make it more applicable
to present circumstances.
The bill was read a second time.
• • DOWER IN MORTGAGES.
Sir Oliver Mowat moved the second
reading of a bill respecting dower in mort-
gaged and other property. He explained
that cases had frequently occurred where
a wife executed a deed or a mortgage which
contained no stipulation barring dower,
whereas the object of her joining in the
deed was for the purpose of barring dower.
The bill made it clear that in such oases
the wife's dower was barred. .Another
claims: provided for the case of there being
tnortgage in which the wife had joined
for the purpose of barring her dower. The
property was afterwards sold by the
mortgagee, and after the latter's interest
and costs had been paid a balance was left.
Litigation had frequently taken place to
determine whether the wife had the same
interest, in money as in land. The bill
made a provision for the wife having this
right.
The motion was agreed to.
STANDARD TIME.
Sir. Oliver Mowat moved the second
reading of a bill relating to the legal
meaning of expressions relative to time. He
explained that the object was to dose pol-
ling booths` by standard, inatead of solar
time.
The motion was agreed to.
JURORS AND JURIES.
Mr. Hardy moved the second reading of
the bill relating to jurors and juries, one of
the principal clauses of which is to prevent
the publication of the jury panel until just
before the assizes are held.
The bill was read a second time.
MUNICIPAL BY-LAWS.
Sir Oliver Mowat moved the second
reading of a bill respectting convictions
under municipal by-laws. He explained
that the bill was introduced at the sugges-
tion of Chief Justice Meredith. It had
been found that in cases of conviction under
municipal by-laws formal proof was omit-
ted because the facts were fully understood
by both parties, and this often led to the
mins lotion being quashed. The hill provid-
ed that upon application to quash a oonvic-
tion under such circumstances the court
might dispense with proof of the by.law,
and allow the same to be established by
affidavit.
The bill was read a second time.
APPOINTMENT OF OFFICIALS.
On the motion to go into Committee of
Supply,
Mr. Meacham moved in amendment—
"In the opinion of this House the present
mode of appointing registrars of deeds and
other county officials is unsatisfactory, and
should be changed; and that the appoint.
ment of all the said officials whose ealary
or remuneration is provided in whole or
mainly by the looalities for which they are
appointed, should not he yeated in the
Exeoutive of the province,but in the people
of the locality through their municipali-
ties."
Sir Oliver Mowat said the motion was
made at a most inconvenient time, and for'
strictlypartisan purposes. The experience of
this session led him to believe it would be pre-
ferable they should follow the proper English
rule,and not the mistaken practice in vogue
elsewhere. Provincial officials were as well
qualified for their duties as similar officers
to be fotind anywhere, and if any change
were to be made it would not be on account
of lack of qualification. He submitted to
the House if any change were required it
should not be in the direction of appoint -
moist by County C/ounoils, but by popular
vote. The House should rejeot the atnend.
inent. (Applause.)
Mr. Whitney observed it was eharged
that it Wee a partisan step to Move an
amendment to supply. Ib WaS) however, the
only course for the Opposition to pursue in
order to get the House to deolare itself
upon this question.
Mr. Dryden remarked thet noargItMent
bed been advarieed te show that better
officers wonld be obtained by a Oheage Of
aystem. This proposition had beeri ad
-
muted by the Opposition iu the hope of
oatohing a certaba vete in the Holum, but
it would not saoceen.
Mr. Marter said Ile believed that the
County Coancila were in a better position
to make ehese appointments than the Gov-
ernment, who made the appointment eolely
on the lecommendation of the member or
defeated candidate in the county. The
appointments elioulol be kept as far as
poindble from the party arena.
A. division WAS then taken on Mr. Walsh-
ain's amendment, resulting as followe ;--
Yeas, 23 ;naye, 56.
The main motion was carried on the
Sante division, and the Houee went into
Committee of Supply, and passed an
item.
AGRICULTURE liSTI3.1ATE8.
Mr. Dryden explained the sums in the
intimates for the Department of Agricul-
ture, commeneing with the increase of the
allowance for lectures at Earmere' Inetitutes
of $2,000. With regard to the increase of
$1,000 in the vote for experimental fruit
stations he said that it wile proposed to in•
crease the nuinber of stations this year from
five to about ten. His department also
proposed to take another new departure in
giving instruotion in practical fruit spray-
ing. The system puraued would be most
thorough, and the trees would be *sprayed
not ouly once, but several times, in order
to make the teat as thorough as poesible.
The agriculture estimatee, amounting to
$183,486, were passed after a further short
explanatory discussion.
HOSPITALS AND CHARITIES.
The vote of $190,416.57 for hospitals and
charities gave rise to a discussion as to
whether a man who is an inmate of a hos-
pital, or upon whose account the hospital
receives any part of a Government grant,
should have a. right to vote.
The item was carried and the committee
rose.
A THIRD READING.
Mr. Hardy's bill respecting road allow-
ances in the Rainy River Survey was read
a third time.
PAYMENTS TO MEMBERS.
Mr. Ryereon aelsed how many members
of the Dominion Parliament have received
moneys or fees from the Ontario Government
in 1894? What are their names, and what
amount did they respectively receive?
Sir Oliver Mowat replied that two mem-
bers had reoeived fees, both being profes.
sional men. Hon. David Mills received $250
for his argument on constitutional questions
in the Queen's Counsel case, and Mr.James
Lister was paid $249 for his services as
Crown Counsel at the Sandwich Autumn
Assizes.
THE SUCCESSION ACT.
Mr. Matheson enquired—Is it the inten-
tion of the Government to introduce during
the present session an Act to amend the
Succession Duty Act, by extending the
amount of legacies exempt from duty be-
yond the sum of $200 ; er byproviding that
the duty on real estate may at the option
of the heir or devisee be payable in annual
or semi-annual instalments at a moderate
rate of interest; or by providing for the
registration of discharges of real estate from
claim: for succession duty ?
Sir Oliver Mowat—We are consideriug
eome questions relating to the Act as to
successionduties, and this may be amongst
them.
THE BUTTER TRADE.
Mr. Whitney moved, "That in the inter-
ests of the people of this province, and in
order that the producers may secure the
full benefit of the sums annually expended
to aid the dairy interests thereof, the but-
ter trade deserves to be encouraged."
Sir Oliver Mowat stated there was no ob-
jection to the present resolution being
adopted, and suggested that the hon.
gentlemen sheuld proceed to move the
seoond resolution whioh stood on the order
paper in his name.
The suggestion was concurred in,and the
resolution was adopted.
Tire DOMINION's POLICY,
Mr. Whitney then mOved, "That`this
House, having regard to the butter trade in
this province and the depressed condition
thereof, has observed with satisfaction the
announcement of the intention of the Gov.
ernment of Canada to provide for the
immed late shipment of fresh -made creamery
butter to Great Britain, and ,to purehaee at
twenty cents per po and all creamery hatter
of fine quality made between 1st of January
and 1st of April, 1895; and, bearing in
mind the expenditure already incurred by
the Governments of the province and
Dominion to impreve and foster the dairy
interests of the country, respectfully urges
upon the Government of Canada the ad-
visability and necessity of providing such
further or other aid as may be found to
be necessary from time to time, in order
that the products of fresh.made creamery
butter may secure the full benefit of such
expenditure."
Mr. Dryden. --The Dominion Govern-
ment's policy was not the bast way to en.
courage the butter industry and relieve the
depression which the hon. gentleman said
existed. They proposed to take the trade
in the article of butter out of the hands of
those who now conducted it, and in so
doing were exceeding their legitimate
functions. He was of opinion that those
responsible for the introduction of the
resolution had a different object in view
from that of increasing and developing the
butter trade. He thought the House would
refuse to endorse a proposition to purchase
butter at twenty cents a pound. In his
opinion the remedywas to be found in afford-
ing better shipping facilities, and the
Government and the House would be quite
prepared to do anything they could in that
regard. The Ontario Government were
devoting their attention to educating the
people in the making of good butter, and
would continue to do so. In conclusion,
Mr. Dryden moved an amendment express-
ing the readiness of the Reese to approve
of any reef:enable and efficient arrange.
ment that might be made to facilitate the
carriage in cold storage of the dairy pro-
duce of the province to ports of shipment
in Great Britain, and the provision of
ample cold storage for such products in such
°Wee in Great Britain as may be necessary
in the interests of the trade.
A division was then taken on the amend.
ment, resulting in it being earned on a vote
of 60 to 21.
TO TAX TELEGRAPH LINES.
Mr. German moved the sdoond reading
of his bill teso amend the Assessment Aot
as to provide for the asseesment of telegraph
and telephone lines, gas mains, and other
siinilar classes of property.
Mr. Hardy thought the bill went farther
than perhaps the mover wafi aWare. Last
iletaliOn an effort had been made to definitely
settle thie questiou by declaring that these
properties should be exempt, but the projeot
had been defeated. Ile (Mr. tfarcly) was
on principle in favor of taxing everything
as far as possible, but there were many bides
to the eneetion, exul they would iseare to
=wider it caretully in eeramiesee.
Mr. Whitney ender:004 the sentiment
eXPreased by the hon. Coneinidaioner a
Crown Lends. It would be well, in view
of the eerie:46nm of the quaaltiorn to go
Slowly in this matter.
THE FILING On PLANS.
Mr, O'Keefe moved the second reading of
his bill to amend the Registry Aot, wbieh
provides for obtaining the anent of the
municipality before plans may he filed.
Mn. Gibson did not appear to favor the
measure, but had no ob3eotion to ite going
to committee for discueelon.
The bill received its second reading.
AID TO CHARITIES.
Mr. Gibson messed the ratification of
orders.M.Council, bringing the General
Hospital, Sudbury; the &moue Home and
Children's Shelter, Ottawa; and the Haven
and Prison Gate Mission Toronto, under
the operation of the Charity Aid Act.
Tlaese institutions will re oeive aid next year
an the basis of this year's work.
PROTECTION OF CHILDREN.
Mr. Gibson moved the oecond reading of
the bill for the further protection of chil-
dren. its object is to make more effective
the provisions of the Act passed two aess
sions ago, Power is given to the governing
body of any institution for the care of
children to transfer juveniles to the super-
intendent appointed under the .A,ot or to
the local Children's Aid Society to find
homes for them, There is a provision
against children being made inmates of
Houses of Refuge.
ELECTION LAWS .
Mr. Hardy moved the seoond reading of
a bill to amend the election laws.
Mr. Haycock regretted that the bill did
not make provision for further exemptions
from disqualification. He did not see why
an issuer of marriage licenses should be
disqualified from sitting in the House.
Mr, Hardy promised to take the point
raised by Mr. Haycock with regard to the
disqualification of issuers of marriage
licenzes into consideration.
The bill was read a second time.
PARE DECORATION.
With regard to the appropriation of $10,-
561 for the new Parliament and departmen-
tal buildings,
Mr. Harty said that negotiations
were now under way with the city
authorities to acquire possession of the
land in froat of the buildings lying south
of the present line of the Government
property, and extending to the avenue in
front of the Macdonald monument. Should
this arrangement be made he intended
recommending to the Government the
maintenance of a landscape gardener, who
would lay out and take charge of the
grounds.
MR. WAITE'S FEES.
In answer to a question as to a vote of
$1.046 for balance of architect's fees,
Mr. Harty explained that Mr. Waite had
claimed that on the main building they
owed him a balance of $60,000. They had
claimed that they owed him on this account
$1,500, and as during the year he had
drawn something over $400 this vote was
for the balance. Some weeks ago Mr.
Waite's solicitors had offered that if the
Government would pay him the balance of
$1,046, and, in addition'for fees on inaide
decoration, $5,300, and for examination of
plans previous to taking charge of the work,
$2,800, this would. be eatisfaotory to him.
The Government had not, during Mr.
Fraser's time, disputed Mr. Waite right
to remuneration for expert services ; but
they thought the amount proposed was
excessive, as the peroentage usually allowed
on work in this country was five per cent.,
while the proposal made by Mr. Waite's
solicitors had been on the basis of a ten
per cent. charge.
The items were passed.
The public works estimates, amounting
to $34,408, were passed.
AN INVESTIGATION.
On the item of $96,920 for colonization
roads,
Mr. 'garter, asked if there was any truth
in the report"that a certain lumber firm in
the north had for some time systematically
defrauded the Government, and whether
an investigation was being made?
Mr. Hardy replied that an inveetigation
into the matter referred to had now been
in progress for a month. A. first investi-
gation had appeered to show a prima facie
ease, and he had issued h commission, who
would enquire thoroughly into the case.
He could not say svhatthe result would be.
The firm in question had made a deposit of
$5,000 with the department to protect the
Government against loss in the meantime.
COST 01' EXAMINATIONS.
Mn. Ryerson asked—What is the amount
received from °end idates at the department-
al examinations, what amount was paid
to examiners and what was the amount
of the expenses incurred?
Mr. Ross replied that the cost of th e de.
partmental examinations in 1894 was
$30,345, divided as follows e—Examiners,
$18,748 ; printing, etc., $4,322 ; clerical
service, $7,275. The amount received in
fees from candidates was $29,489,1eaving
deficit of $856.
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
Mr.Hobbs moved for a return classifying
the maintenance expenditures of the public
institutions of the province for the year
1893, under beads showing :—Expenditure
for salaries, wages, etc. ; amounts paid for
supplies furnished under contract ; expen-
diture for meat supplies under special
arrangement ; expenditures for other sup.
plies under different beads, indicating the
comparative practicability or imprractio-
ability of purchasing same by tender,
instead cf the open market.
The motion was agreed to.
A BILL DEFEATED.
Mr. Richardson moved the seoond read-
ing of a bill to amend the High Sohool Act.
The object is to relieve County Councils
from paying the required share towards the
education of children who attend the High
school in a town separate from the county.
Mr. Ross said the bill was objectionable
because, if adopted, it would mean that the
County Council of York might send as
many pupils as it chose to the High school
at West Toronto Junction without paying
one brass farthing for them. He hoped the
bill would be withdrawn, otherwise he
should be obliged to call upon the House to
vote it down.
Mr. Richardson refused to withdraw the
bill, and it was declared lost on division.
STATUTE, LABOR.
Mr, Reid (Addington) moved the second
reading of it bill to amend the Assessment
Aot,and a bill to amend the Mimicipal Act.
The object of the bills is to put villages in
the same position as townships -with regard
to statute labor.
The motion was agreed to.
FEES OP COLINSET.,.
Mr. Davis moved the second reading of a
bill to amend the Act respecting fess of
counsel and other °Moen in, the adminie-
tr4t/Oh of justice. The bill roakeo i.t eleer

HORROR IN STORE FOR CHINA.
When the Warm Weather 8e15 In a
PrhIstful Outbreak of Pestilence
Amy orealc Out in the Chinese AMINO
In the United Service Magazine there
an artiole by Col. Maurice, C.B., on the
war between China and japan, which will
orrest attention. Col, Maurice prediete
fearful things for the Chinese. "A vision
of horror," he says, " has been long floating
before my eyes as to what is going to happen
before the war comes to an end." The
Chinese authorities are now boasting that
they, have gathered round Pekin half a
million of men. Diecipline or organization
there is none. The Chinese have not the'
faintest notion ot the most ordinary mili-
tary or sanitary precautions. "What will
happen when the snow, fouled by hundreds
of thousands of men and animals, melte in
the spring? Ever since the naval battle of
the Yalu the accumulation of ill -disciplined
soldiery has been going on. So grave is the
danger even for a civilized army to be long
gathered on one spot that it la the rule of
armies only to concentrate actually for the
purpose of battle, and to occupy a wide
area befere and afterward. Even with
cilized armies one reason for it is the im-
possibility of maintaining for a few weeks
or even days such conditions of health as
will prevent the outbreak of serious epidem.
ics, As soon as the warm weather seta in
in the epring the consequence of all this
must be a frightful outbreak of pestilence
iu some form or other, probably in many
forms,but beginning with malignant typhus
in its most virulent shape." The efforts
to effect a peace may fail, the Japanese
armies may move forward slowly, th e authori-
ties at Pekin may get a little heart again as
they see the difficulties before the invaders,
but when the weather moderates and the
mild season begins, the Chinese will have
in all probability, a foe to contend with
vastly more unsparing than the foreign
sword.
DEATHBED TdURDER CONFESSION
Tabb KRIed White in a Gambling !War
rel and Committed Arson to Conceal
the Crime Eight Years Ago.
A Special from Centralia., 111., says that
in 1887 Pavey & Allen did a mercantile
business in Mount Vernon, Ill. The senior
member of the firm was Gen. W. C. Pavey,
ex•Autlitor of the State of Illinois. In the
employ of the firm was a man named
White.
One night in the summer of 1887 the
store building burned, and was a total loss.
White roomed in the building, and his
charred body was found in the debris. The
origin of the fire was a mystery, and a still
greater mystery was why White did not
get out, as the exit was quite easy.
W. D. Tabb has been a prominent citizen
of Mount Vernon for many years, and has
frequently held public office. A few weeks
ago he was the victim of pneumonia. When
it became positive to him that he could not
recover, he sent for Gen. Pavey and conies
. -
sed that he was in Whites' room on the
night of the fire. They were gambling; a
quarrel arose'resulting in a fight, and in a
fit of passion Tabb killed White.
In the desperation of the moment, Tabb
fired the building and allowed White's body
to burn to conceal the crime. After Tabb's
death the friends of the family attempted
to suppress the particulars, but they were
of such importance that they have become
generally known and fully verified.

at 66 1-5 Jarvis street on Sunday morning.
ati early hour Mrs. Harry Hewitt, who
oecupiee a suite of rooms with her husband
on the upper door, knocked at the door 0

Swallow occupied two rooms at the baok of

thing wrong with Mrs Swallow, and forced
the door. A horrible sight met their gaze.
On the bed lay Mrs, Swallow, with a great
stream of blood oozing from her pillow to
the floor, and alongside of her lay John
Bell, a man who nad been livingavith her.
His head was thrown back, and a great
gash in his throat also told a deadly tale of
murder or suicide. The two children were
lying in a cot, playing, as if nothing had
happened. The horrified intruders at once
gave an alarm, and Legatt ran to police
headquarters, Constables Snell and Tripp
drove to Jarvis street in the patrol wag-
gon and took possession of the premises.
A TERRIBLE Rome
Theroom had the appearance of &slaughter
house. Two great pools of blood almost
covered the floor, and the wall and furni-
ture was spattered all over. At first it
was thought that both had been murdered,
but when 1'. C. Snell examined the body
of the man, a razor covered with blood tell
oub of his nerveless fingers.
The bed stood in the sonth-east corner
of the room. Against the south wall stood
an old-fashioned bureau and next to it in
the south.west corner stood a cot with two
children, aged four and six years. The
ohildren were playing with alpbabet blocks
when the police eneered, and they were at
once removed to the Children's Shelter.
The last words the little girl said when
she was taken from the room were, "When
will mamma be better ?"
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
The body of the man Bell lay on the side
of the bed next the wall. The lamp, still
burning, stood on the bureau. An empty
beer pail and whiskey bottle stood on the
table, One of the small drawers of the
bureau woe pulled out, and the empty case
of the razor was found in it. There was
every evidence to show that the man had
waited until his paramour had fallen asleep.
He then reached over her,and quietlypulled
Otto drawer open and secured the razor.
Then he cat a dem) gash in her throat,
cloae above the collar bone, severing the
jugular and arteries. She never stirred,
for there was not the slightest trace of a
struggle, as far as she was concerned. After
he had satisfied himseif that she was be-
yond earthly aid he sat up and cut his own
throat from the left ear across to the wind-
pipe, severing the jugular vein and utain
arteries. His blood was spattered over
the clothing, and his hand, which held the
razor, was also red. Having committed
the devilish deed he threw himself back on
the pillow, and was found in this position,
his mouth and eyes wide open.
The bodies were removed to the morgue.
Coroner Johnson, who was called, decided
to hold an inquest on the remains at the
morgue.
So far none of tne relatives of the two
victims have turned up. Bell was an
Englishman, about forty-five years of age,
slim, with a fair moustache. The woman
was also fair, and about thirty-five years
of age.
Crime in Buffalo.
A despatch from Buffalo. Y,. says
—Housebreaking, robbery, and assault are
of nightly occurreime in Buffalo. Every
morning one or more of the precinct cap-
tains reports some crime of this sort, but
the boldest job done here in years was
reported Friday morning, A tough rang
the dootabeIl at the house of Prof. Tagg, on
Allen street. His fifteen -year-old daughter
answered the door, whereupon the ruffian
sprang into the hall, caught her by the
throat with one heed, and with the other
forced a cloth saturated vvith chloroform
against her nostrils and mouth. She sank
unconscious to the floor'while the burglar
ransacked the house. Evidently he was
frightered away, for nothiug of value was
taken, and the girl was not molested further.
The police are withont a clue other than
the meagre description given by the girl.
He Could Not Leave,
The boy stands on the burning deok,
The flames about him glow;
He smiles, because he knows at home
He'd have to shovel snow.
