Went on Saturdey morning changing
the venue of the Penton trial from
Napanee to Toronto.
In his written judgment his Lord-
ship practically recites the remarks he
made on the bench when the ,motion
was being heard. He says that not-
withstanding the affidavits for the de-
fence he cannot divest himself of the
opinion , that the people who were
gathered in the street on that cold
December night were not there tor
any harmless or inoffensive purpose.
14 fact the Sheriff acted wisely in
reading the Riot Aet, for- there was
no knowing what might happen.
The judgment goes on to slate that
no suet" case has ever been adjudi-
cated upon before, and that, therefere,
precedents do not count- It Was 110t; a
question cif an impartial jury only, for
be thought a gooci jury could be ob-
tained, but the main thing was to
expediate the ends of justice.
His Lordship consulted with eight of
his brother judges and found all but
eine itt favor of changing the venue to
Toronto. Counsel fax the Crown and
fur the accused were both opposed to
Toronto as the place of teial. In order-
ing a change of venue his Lordship
recommends the Crown to pay the
expenses of the Penton witnesses.

-.A terrible triurder was committen
here on Saturnay evening abou
seven: 0 clock, the victien being Philij
Walker, a well-known and respecLec
citizen Walker had jui;t reached ham
after his day's work and Was engaged
in slitting his Sunday's wood, whei
an Indian, Casimire Pecheesie, same
along,carrying a Witieliester rifle
lefelker asked. the 'adieu what he IVO,
going to shoot, and erdebeesie replied
'"Ciceee."•Walker then etooped to
pick up some wood, but as he did so,
Pecheesie opened fire. The first but -
let passed ilareugh Walker's left
shoulder, and as he straightened uP he
received a eecond one in his body. The
last bullet entered just below the right
breast, and came out near the left
hip. Walker fai against the verandah
of the house, where he was picked up
by. eye -witnesses of the horrible affair
and carried into the Royal Inland
hospital, which is about 30 yerds from
the scene of the shooting. Medical aid
was eunamoned, but the unfortunate
man, aldtiough able to talk, was be-
yond earthly aid, and died about en
hour after the shooting. Walker made,
aa ante-mortem statement similar
to the details given above. After
firing the shots Pecheeste jumped over
the fence and made for the river,
-crossing the long bridge to the reserve.
Ile was immediately pursued by a posse.
of police, but no trace of him could be
found after ha reached the reserve. The
,search was kept up all. night, and Sun-
day men were out in all directions,
but up to -six o'clock., Pecheesie
had not been arrested, A brother of
Pecheesie's and another Indian and a
Klootchman were arrested Sunday
night, as they were in company with
the murderer just before the shooting.
Pecheesie is an adopted son of Chief
Louie. [fourteen years ago Pecheesie
was convicted and sentenced to seven
years in penitentiary for shooting at
Constable Smith. He is also suspect-
ed of having murdered another Indian.
Pecheesie cannot escape, arid it is only
a matter ot Hine when he will be ar-
reated. Walker leaves' a young widow
to mourn his death. She is a daugh-
ter of J. T. Edwards, 32., of this
city. The inurcier was the most colds
blooded ever perpetrated in, this
province. There was no provoeation
for it.
THE MURDERER, CAPTURED..
A. later despatch. from Kamloops,
says :-Casimir Baptiste, the Indian
who rauedered Philip Walker here Sat-
urday evening, is now behind the bars
in Kaanleops gaol, About nine o'clock
this morning word .was brought to
town that the fnurderer was in Chief
Louis' house on the reserve,- just -across
the river from the city. immediately
about thirty armed men started for
the reserve, followed by nearly half
the citizens. On reaching the reserve
Alex McLean, a .half-breed; was sent
to interview the. murderer. In a few
minutes McLean returned with word
that Cesinair was willing to give
liim-
saif up to his chief, butthat he svould
shoot the first white man who ap-
proached the house. The chief being
absent, McLean was again sent to tell
Casbnie that if he did not surrender
by onc• ceelock the police would open
fire on him.. Time dragged on, and
still the murderer, rifle in hand, pacerl
up and down the room, passing and
repassing the open windove in full view
of all present. Shortly after twelve,
women and children were removed
from the adjacent houses, and alt ar-
rangements made to open fire. Mc-
Lean again interviewed Casimir, with.
the result that Casimir promised to
surrender if he were allowed to fire
off all his ammunition. This was
granted, and a few nainutes later Ca.a.-
role appeared at an upper window and
fired ten shots, the last two coming
dangerously close to two ellizene,
Casimir then threw down his rifle,
and promptly at one o'elock opened

A despatch from London says :-The
British, metropolis narrowly escaped
from a calamity on Monday, which
might have rivalled the horrors at the
Windsor Hotel fire in New York.
Hyde Park Court, Albert Gate, one
of the finest and most fashionable
blocks of residential flats, overlook-
ing Rotten Row, caught fire at half
past nine Menday morning. The build-
ing, whicah is eleven stories high, was
built by the notorious Jabez Spencer
Balfour. Tlae fire broke .out ,in the
lower part and spread up the eleva-
tot shaft with great rapidity. The
flames involved the upper storeys -be-
fore their occupants were aware of
the danger and when the alarm was
.raised the affrighted servants dropped
from the top windows to a veran-
dah on the ninth -story.
The defective arrangements of the
London fire brigade were again de-
monstrated, as the fire escapes were
too short to reach the people in the
upper etories, who only escaped with
the greatest difficulty, while the fash-
ionable residents of the lower stories
streamed out of the building carry-
ing what they could of their belong-
ings.
'The flames were not under control
until one o'clock, when the upper
part of tbe structure was gutted
IL is considered lucky that the fire
occurred in daylight, or otherwise it
would have resnited in loss of life.
All the floors were supposed to be
fire -proof.

London has at last risen against the
cabby. A machine lately invented win
register every circumstance in connec-
tion with, a ride in a cab, and so uni-
versal is the cry for these, and so
pointed the manner in which cabs that
have them are petronized in preference
to cabs that *have not, that the owners
and managers of the various cab sys-
teine aee epeedity putting theta in. The
machine, -which is known as the taxa-
metet, registers when you get In
whether you have a valise or not;
direcee your attention to the fact that
you have ridden a mile by the loud
ring on it bell, and at every half mile
thereafter. 11 you wait in front of a
store the charge is just the same, as
a device under the control of the driv-
er shifts the regulator from the wheel
to a clack. On lighting for the last
timu a spring ie touched to show up

drivers of the company which put the
machines in first Wen, C a distinguish-
ing badge, and are doing all the busi-
ness. They are well and regularly
paid, in conseauence of which they are
uniformly polite and obliging. It
looks as if London were to get rid of
one of her great•est nuisances.
