On the Parrainatta River course on Anguet 80th, Stophmson, a New Zealan- der, and Joe Kemp, Peter' & brother, rowed s ram for 2100 a side, the former win- ning by four lengths ahead of Kemp, the rime for the distance, 3 miles 330 yards, being 20 minutes 24e seconds. Wallace Rose and George F. Les re. turned from England on Monday. They made but little money for their trip. Both nee trained O'Connor for hie re. oent race with Hearle, and they agree that the A .'+tralian and Canadian would be pretty peau up in a race on diad water. tVillism O'Connor has leaned a ahal- longe to J. Stansbury, the Australian scaler whom Searle defeated on July 13, 1888, and thus first came into promin- ence, and whom he again expects to meet shortly after hie arrival home. O'Con- nor offers to row Stansbury in America for 2500 a side and to allow him 275 for expenses. It is greatly to be feared that the offer is hardly good enough. W, H. Stewart, of Port Wayne, Ind., owner of a ferocious gorilla, which a short time age nearly killed tl fernier from Ohio, has been ohallengod by William \Vitae', of Marion, Ind., to match the animal against Wilson's thoroughbred English bulldog, 'Jack,' to light to a finish foe $400to $500 it side. Stewart will probably accept the challenge. The gorilla is n very powerful end cunning beast. This despatch cones from McKeesport, Pa., Jobe Teenier's hone :---"It is very probable that John Teener w111 go to Australia within the next month to row Searle, The gentleman who baoked Beach has offered to back Teemer and defray his espouses in crossing the water if he will go to Australia and row Searle, and, while Teemer has not decided as ,vet, it is probable that he will conclude to do 00, and will, in that event, sail on Nov. 25. There is nothing to hold hint, and he has a new boat. He is not iu training, and of course is aware that Searle has the advantage of rowing on Australian water. Teemer's many friends are in hopes that he will take the oppor.' tnnity and chances. He will decide within a week." On Saturday night the contest between Louis 0yr mud Horaoe Bane took plane at the St. Henri town hall, Montreal, about a thousand people being present.

Saturday morning at nine o'oloek Jus- tice Street addressol the jury in, the Harvey murder case for two hours, in which he reviewed the evidence both for the Crown and the defame, and also showed the differentia between wilful murder and murder done while laboring under insanity. He then left the ease fn the hands of the jury. They retired, 'end after aboub one and a half hour's absence they brought in a verdict of wilful mute der. Harvey was then sentenced to be bauged on the 29th of November. The condemned man received the anthem) in the same calm and unconcerned mon nor that has marked his motions during the trial. After being sentenced he walked to his cell with a constable as if nothing of import had taken plea", The excitement wav intense during the time the jury was out, and when they returned. to the :tomb room the silence was very oppressive until the sentence was pronounced. The talk on the street is nothing but the Ilarvey ease, and the general remarks are that the sentence is it lust ono. A report dated Guelph, Nov. 4, says the interest in Harvey's ease since the jury brought in the verdict of murder has somewhat subsided, but it has been aroused again to -day. It is stated as a fact and on the best authority that a petition 10 being got Hp and will be in circulation to -morrow for a commu- tation of his sentence to imprisonment for life. The general impression here however, is that the finding of the jury was righteous, and that under the cir- comstanoes they would bring in no other verdiot. Harvey's condition is about the same as usual. The pica of insanity has not much foothold with bhe public, and curiosity is awakened more titan ever regarding his previous history, which vette never clisolosed. Social and Presentation. A social gathering of members and friends of Melville church, Bnessols, as- semblecl in the basement on Tuesday evening of this week to celebrate the first decade of the Rev. eno, Ross' pastorate among them.

To Rev. joint Ross, .B. .4., Demi Parole—Having now oompleted the fleet decade of your pastorate over this congregation of Melville church, we the members and adherents deem it a very favorably' period to offer our 0on• gratulation& on the harmony and good feelings that have existed during that time in our relations -en pastor and pan le. We desire to express our high ap- reoiation of your labors amongst us, and f your fearless rind able exposition of the truth, the Lord has indeed set a watchman upon our walls and it must be gratifying to you no less than to ourselves then you have not watched nor worked in vain. In commemoration of this epooh in the history of our congregatiane we, desire to present for your acceptance, this gold watch es a memento and a token of kindly feeling and regard. We desire you also to convey our beet wishes to your beloved partner and present to her this small token as a mark of the well merited esteem in whioh she is held. May the Lord bless you both and keep you ; may He long &pare you to carry on your zealous labors among this people and ten years hence, may it be our pleas- ant privilege or at least the most of us, to assemble here on a similar oecation and extend our congratulation's on the happy termination of a second decade. Signed on behalf of the congregation byWm. wen. A. M. Mo13Ar, W. •M. Sweatt. Washington Letter. (b'rule the Regular correspondent.) WAsn1NOTON, (ov,1, 'a5. There is one thoroughly practical and much needed reform to whioh the coming Co0gro05 should address itself without unnecessary delay. It should undertake in tbe most eflostivo way that can be suggested, to relieve the Supreme court of the U. S. from the heavy pressure of work which is now upon it, and to pro. tact it against tho constantly increasing accumulation of business in the future. Wheu the court opened its peasant term it found not less than thirteen hundred cases awaiting lei, float judgment. With- out the 111iug of an additional case, its term would be occupied for three years in clearing the doaltea as it now stands. But the business of the country is year by year heeoming more extensive. Trona - lesions of great magnitude are becoming everyday occurrences. Intricate cares, involving difficult points of law and af- fecting immense interests, aro continual- ly arising. .1.s a consequence, now and vasbly important business keeps piling up before the court. The remedy for this great evil lies within the power and province of Coe - gross to provide. Heretofore several measures lave boon proposed iu both houses, only to meet a oommou fate and to fall into 0 CDm10011 tomb in being re. fared to the appropriate oommittees.. Neither the House nor the Senate has ever taken up the matter iu enema. If the fifty-first Congress now fails to do something to relieve the Supremo Court from its constantly aconmuiating busi- ness it will fail of its duty to the country and the people. On the other hand 14 will earn chair gratitude if it shall reach such a solution of the problem of appel- late tribunals and appellate jurisdiction as will hereafter prevent needless delay in the administration of jusbioe ou final appeal. The letter of Secretary Noble to the late chief of the certificate division of the Pension Odloe, in whioh it was im- plied that all the re -rated employees, abort thirty in number, would be re- moved, has caused a stir in the Pension Office. Secretary Noble has made no declaration singe that made in the letter in whioh he said, "I deem it to be to the best interest of the service that men who had been roreated in the bureau should not continue to exercise their influence in then direction either by their presence or their counsel." Those em- ployes who have been re -rated are regard- ed as marked for the slaughter, but they take hope in the belief that Commission- er liamsay look up their oases person- ally and prefer to make a recommend- ation to the Secretary before agreeing to (letting off heads indisoriminately. The conclusion that is generally reached, however, is that the Secretary intends to remove all the re -rated employees of tbe pension office. The name' of thirty employees whose pensions were re -rated were in the report of the commission, and in addition to these there are some twelve others wlioee names were nob in- cluded in this list. Some of the employes mentioned have already been dismissed. It is thought that before any action- is taken needve to the dismissal of the employees an effort will be made to re- ccver the money which it is claimed has been paid to them illegally. , The em- ployes are considerably worked up over the matter, but those personally effeobed are rather reticent to talk. They are evidently waiting to see what will turn up. The oiVi1 servioe commission is now engaged in oolleotiug evidence to sustain an mutton for violation of the law prohib. iting the 'folioiting of political assess. mute from government employes. A shorb time ago they received from a per. son to whom 1t had been addressed a air' puler bearing the letter head, "Old Dom- inion Republica' League of the District of.0olttmbiay' 'requesting contributions from Virginia government employees, for .theoampaign,,in their State.,., As the case appeare on its face, a000rding to the commissioners, the law has beenviolated in two of its sections. Prosecutions can Ise brought, it is stated, under the eleven• til and twelfth sections of the law and the violation of the law is not confined to, those who are employees of the govern- menb. Persons employed by the govern• meat who attempt, directly or indirectly, to colleot money from government em- ployees are subject to prosoontion under the eleventh section, and further any per. eon who attempte to collect money for political purposes from a government employe at she government office is sub. joist to prosecution under section twelve of the civil service late. The commies. toners hold that a goverement employee cannot under any oiraumabance5 solicit or reooive money for political purposes, curl that no person trap solioit or receive money for political purposes 11.0111 an employee at his of1'toe or other place of employment for the government.
