Thirty per cent. of these were public

.noro of its work was negatived by the
.President than ever before or in the history
of the country. Mr. Cleveland voted 278
biii8 during his term, and 140 bine were
bills passed by the late Congress. The
legislation accomplished is for the most
part necessary and Salutary. Four new
states have been admitted, an inter -ocean•
ie canal authorized, and it new oabiuet
secretaryship created, the irregation of
the vast arid region provided for in part
besides many other notable achievements
in IOgielatioo. Much failed. The tariff
is still unchanged ; the Pacific roads
were not brought to taw ; the Blair bill
again bit the dust ; woman's suffrage is
still on the knees of the gods ; the de
pendent pension bill did not become a
law ; the land forfeiture problem was not
solved ; the extradition treaty was re-
joeted ; the fisheries question left almost
untouched. Measured by what it did
not do, the Fiftieth Congrees may not
wont se important, but judged by its
protracted labors and the laws it actually
di(I pat on the book it was a great Con-
gress, well worthy to mark theoentennial

The railroads have repeated their
notable record of four yeare ago by trans-
porting the vast crowd of inaugural vis-
itors to and from the capital without
serious accident. The public arrange -
silents of the inaugural period are also
entitled to commendation. The ball
was a success in every particular. and to
a mart under cover the parade was mag-
nificent and impressive. The only draw-
back upon the enthusiasm and the gener-
al but reasonable glorification, is impos.
ad by recollection of the exceseivo damp-
ness of the of the afternoon of the fourth.

'BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1889.
A young 't!d"oman. shot Dead
Tereible Tragedy near Minima.
Ono of tete most dastardly and cold
blooded taunters 111 the ohr1ni(109 0
crime in Ioltlnbton comity was perpotrat
ed in rho township of Warwick ori Sue
day night. The some 0f the tragedy was
about three miles south of A1'kona and
eight miles uorth.rast of Watford. 01
that ovenilr0 til" peopled trio section as
e mbled for tverehip at the Providence
Methodist elinr011, corner of 800ond line
north and 21 side road. After oveninl,
service the oongregation quietly disports
ed fur their homes. A.mmgag those e'ho
attended the 509918n that night were 81.
Uert le, Wilson and Mies Mary J. Mar.
shall, two young people residing in 1110
neighborhood. Bliss yl12rahall, aco0m.
panted by three yonug friends, started
for Neale, Wilson follotred a step or two
in the rear. Whet: about six rods east
of the church W,lson stepped up to 2.118,4
Marshall and nuol0 n request to escort
her home. Mies Marshall replied "not
this evening," In an instant Wilson
polled a revolver from his pocket and,
placing it at Miss egorshall's head, said,
"do you see that?" and fixed. Mies Mar.
shall sank to the earth mortally wound-
ed with a bulletin her head. Death was
instantaneous, the unfortunate girl dying
without a struggle before her horrified
friends realized what had happened.
Wilson took advantage of the excitement
caused by his terrible deed to make his
escape. Kind hands bora the murdered
girl to a neighbor's 110150 and efforts
were made to restore her to life, but
the vital spark had lied. Tho remains
were subsequently taken to her own
]tomo, whore the grief of her widowed
mothor and family was pitiable to behold.
Wilsun had in the meantime run up the
road, and taking a short cut through the
fields, mulled the barn on the ilMarsball
farm. Here he set fire to the straw
stack, which burned rapidly and required
the united °fiesta of the large crowd
gathered to prevent the destruction of
the buildings. This cunning device gave
the murderer oonsiderable ofa lease, and
it was some little time before the pur-
suing party struck his trail. IIs ran in
an aimless manner for some distance,
but was artful enough to use every mesas
to throw his pursuers off the oonrae.
Wherever possible he would run through
plowed fields, where traces of his tracks
would be difftoult to find and also scaled
along the top of the fences. Once 11e re-
traced his steps, coming back over the
same trail, to mystify those in eearoh of
him. Ho succeeded in reaching the
woods and by walking on top of logs and
other methods avoided capture, and the
pursuing party were obliged to giro up
the abase on account of darkneoe. Mes-
sengers weep at once deopatohed to Wat-
ford end A1'koua and a description of the
murderer wired to all points. His trail
was traced to the lino of railway on the
Sarnia branch to -day, and a man answer-
ing his description was seen on the town -
line of Brooke and Enniskillen about
noon, Wilson is Omit 26 years of age,
rather under the medium height, light
complexion, light moustache, wore a suit
of dark clothes and a pair of new over.
shoes. His escape is almost impossible,
but many aro of the opinion that he is in
such a desperate mood that he will not
be captured alive and is very likely to
oommit suicide. Ile was a hard working
young man, the sou of a respectable
farmer iu the neighborhood, and has al-
ways borne a good reputation.
Dr. Ovens, coroner, of Arkoaa, was
notified of the shooting affair and em-
panelled a jury on Monday afternoon to
hear the tostltnony. About twenty wit-
nesse°, moat of thenn eye -witnesses of the
tragedy, were examined. Dr. Teasdall
assisted the coroner in making rho poet
mortem examination. Tile fatal bullet
was found embedded in the ti8enea of the
spinal cofamn, about half way down the
book of the nook. The bullet had enter-
ed immediately back of the right ear.
It was a 26.calibre ball, slightly flattened
in its eour80.
Jealousy appears to have been at the
bottom of the affair. Wilson has for
00,ue tdme been desirous of being a Kilter
of 1tIiss Marshall, but his 5019 was not
favorably r0aeived either by the young
lady or the neembera of her family, her
mother not being on good terms with
Wilson, who is a, neighbor of the Mar-
shalls. Wilson is reported to have made
threats that there would bo blood spilled
if she wont with any one else, but liable
attention was paid to it at the time. It
is thought that this jealous feeling be-
came a madness with hire until 11e de-
liberateiy planned the crime he so 9110-
oessfully carried into exoontion. That
there wit0 method do his madness is
shown by the clever Mame he had plan-
ned to escape arrest.
Miss Mors11211 was only 10 years of
age, and one of t110 most popular young
ladles in 6110 neighborhood. The excite-
ment over her cruel death as intense, and
it would not be well for Wilson if the
indignant and excited .people of the
vicinity should succeed In laying their
hands upon hila. Lytiching is freely
talked of, and the county wonlel be vexed
rho expense of a trial if they had Wilson
at rho end of a rope.
Sympathy is expressed for Wilson's
family, who are almost as 1011011 broken
down by the terrible affair as the relatives
of the murdered girl.

Another Accident
011 'rite Grand Trunk 105(9(0y Year
lateen.
Tho Grand Trunk Railway seems to bo
having more than its share of acoidonts
of late. The last occurred about ono
111110 and a half west from Liman Mon.
clay morning. No. 1 express due at
Stratford at 9;30 a. m., did not usually
stop at Parkhill, but Monday morning by
special order, it stopped at that station
for the Baird Dramatic 0o. Everything
went alone smoothly until the train was
within one mile and a half of Luean,
when it was noticed that something was
wrong, as the car ocoupied by the Dra-
matic Company was bobbing up and
down as if one of the wheels were broken,
and we the conductor, A. Manley, of Pt.
Edward, wag passing through, his at.
tontion was drawn to it, be immediately
stepped outside, and it is thought pulled
the bell moo, for the train came to a
standstill almost immediately. The
two first-01ass cars went down the em-
bankment. The one nearest the baggage
car, in which were thirteen members of
the Baird Dramatic Company and three
other pae'.eneers, made several revolu-
tions and landed at the bottom of a 90 -
foot embankment. The passengers roll-
ed here and there, thinking that *heir
day of reckoning had come. One of the
dramatio.company, E. Houghton, when
he felt the oar going sprang for the door
and landed at the bottom of the embank-
ment. Zia right leg was through the
window and the whole weight of the car
resting upon it. It tool( nearly throe.
quarters of an hour before they could
extrieete him. The other passengers had
to be assisted out of rho ruins. The
first car was it total wrack. Seats were
smashed, windows broken and every-
thing badly demolished. The passengers
express surprise that they were not all
instantly killed. That they °soaped is
simply incredible. Fortunately the
lamps all went oat and so did the fire in
the stove.
The injured aro :—ltd. Houghton,
West Bay City, right leg badly out in
three places and right side injured.
Mrs. K. Rowland, Port hope, head
hurt, bruised about the body, and left
ankle broken or sprained.
C. Brodie, Point .Edward, formerly a
Montreal policeman, bead and neck cut
and otherwise injured.
Jas. Wigg, Point Edward, head cut in
several places and right leg conjured.
P. Giliean, brakeman, Stratford, slight-
ly injured.
Besot Dehavan, Buffalo, left arm badly
hurt and otherwise injured.
V. Neilson, Buffalo, badly shaken up.
Chas. Cheer, Brighton, Left arm hurt
and out on head.
J. E. Rowland, escaped with a few
slight bruises.
John Fitzgerald, Guelph, was in the
second oar that stood on its end. Ile
was only slightly injured.
There are various theories as to how
the accident oocnrred. Ono is that it
was caused by a broken rail, and another
that one of the car wheels was broken.
The officials seem to be very retioent
about giving any informabion regarding
the matter. It does not seem improbable
that it was the remit of 11 broken car
wheel, which may have spread the mile,
sending both 008Ohes over. This seente
to be the most feasible theory, as it was
the car in which ono of the ladies of the
Dramlttio Company drew the conductor's
n110119100 to the bumping noise. This
car and the ono next to it were the only
oar. that left the tweak. It resembles the
St, George disaster in some respoots, with
the lnoky exception that no cue was
killed. The engine, baggage car and
smoker wore at the front of the train on
boa track ; two wrecked oars in the
centre, 1vit11 the two Pullman coaches on
the brook at the rear end, The passen-
gers in the second oar that stood on it8
and wore all huddled together --forty
passengers in all—cud none of them were
seriously tainted. Many received alight
bruises, 'bat nothing to prevent them
from continuing their journey, Two of
the wheals of the first oar wore standing
en the track, two more half way down
the hill, and two on their end, rusting on
the side of the or at ton bottom of the
embauicmelt.

LOCAL LEGISLATURE.
The•9cw Couuttes (1111. "'
The resumption of the debate on the
motion for the second reading of the bill
respeo6ing the formation of new counties
was first on the list of Government orders
Wednesday. It was a question whether
there would be a•brisk and lively debate
or whether tbere•would be natio at all.
The question was soon volved by Mc.
Hardy moving for the discharge of the
order. In doing so he oommented upon
the difficulty of preparing a bill that
should commend itself to the House, and
rho apparent impossibility, by means of
a general bill, of submitting a scheme
that would meet the approval of the
different localities interested.

er of Crown Lauds was taking undue ad-
vantage of the absence of the Minister of
Education, who, he said, should at least
have been gt0On the opportunity of at-
tending as chief mourner at the funeral
of the bill.
Mr. Waters said the hill had affected
oda constituency a good deal from quite
opposite points of view. At the same
time he would have voted for the second
reading of the bill under pertain con
dition,, the chief of which was that
more 61,an a bare majority would be re-
quired to justify the division of a county
under the provisions of the bill. How-
ever, as the Government was not going
on with the bill, it was useless to diaeuss
it.
