The Toronto Star advises the aboli- 'aiop of Kingston Military College and 'the Standing army.By all means do away with it. It incurs a heavy annu- al expense without the accomplish - anent of one atom of good. • tion. It would be difficult indeed to select a more competent person for the position. He is a gentleman who is right at home in Sabbath School work, an excellent executive officer and we congratulate him on his advancement to this honorable position. It is said that the wife of Lord Aber- deen entertains without wipes or liquors. This is the first time in Ca- `nadian history that the wife of the Governor-General has held a reception, without dispensing liquors, and marks a new era in Canadian high social life. Mr H. P. Moore, editor. of the Acton Free Press, has been elected President of the Ontario Sabbath School Associa- Speaking at Walkerton, last Satur- day, Dalton McCarthy admitted that "he was one of those who had helped to deceive the farmers by thespecious promises of the N.P., and he was sorry for it. This is late repentance, but it is one of the instances of "better late than never." Is Mr McCarthy, how- ever, the only politician honest enough • to admit his deception. Mr G. F. Marter has been chosen as leader of the Local Opposition. He has not hitherto been regarded as the ablest man following Mr Meredith, Mr Whitney being so regarded, but as the latter is a lawyer and Marter is not, it is no doubt thought to be better policy to accept Mr Marter and catch, if pos- sible, the Patrons. He is, however, a fairly good speaker, a man of leisure, a prohibitionist, and will likely fill the position as well "as any one else. At any rate the Liberals will not find any fault. r The Toronto News thinks Canada should do better in the extent of its egg trade with Great Britain. It is an easy thing for those whd know nothing practically of the egg business, to talk of "doing better." The increase in vol- ume of the egg trade with Britain, in 1893, was done at a loss to the dealers, as they know to their sorrow. Unfor- tunately the English market is not of much service to Canadians, so far as eggs are concerned, for the simple rea- son that it is too far away. Careful experiments have shown that eggs can- not be gathered, packed and landed in Liverpool in less than seven week's time; this, as everyone knows, lessens the selling qualities of eggs, on arrival. Political Paragraphs. • The Liberals, of London, have again chosen Mr T. S. Hobbs as their ,:andidate for election to the Ontario Legislature. The Conservatives have selected Mayor Essery Mr W. R. Melredith was on Tuesday sworn in before ex -Chief Justice Galt, Sir Oliver Mowat and several members of the Ontario Cabinet, as Chief Justice of Ontario. An election took place in Compton county, Que., on Friday,for the Local Leg-, islature. The constituency has been Con- servative without a break since Confedera- tion, and the returns show that Mr Mo - Clary, the Conservative candidate, is elected. Instead of having decided, as was report- ed, not to ran a oandidate against Dalton McCarthy in North Simcoe, it is stated that the Patrons of Industry are detirmin- e d to place a man in the field. Harry Corby, M.P., is a staunch Conser- vative and a supporter of the National Pol- icy, a part of which doctrine is "Canada for Canadians." It is, therefore, just a *rifle strange to find him going to Michigan to purchase the furniture for a new hotel which he erected in Belleville. Cannot he ✓ eonre satisfactory goods in Ontario?—Tor. onto Star. The Toronto World says it is informed on pretty good authority that all the peti- tions against the return of both Conserva- tives and Reformers to the Ontario Legis- lature will be dropped. Negotiations for a compromise havebeer) going on for some days, and it is more than likely that neither *he judges nor the people of Canada will be worried with eleotion trials and bye-eleo- tione. On the other. hand, reports come from other sources that a number of pro- tests will come to trial. The Toronto Evening News Says:—Even those who dieagee with Mr Laurier's pol- ioy cannot fail to admire the man. His fine presence, charming manner, and above all his gift of oratory makes him an almost ideal party leader. It is not surprising, therefore, to hear that the Opposition chief- ' tian's Our of the Northwest has been very mnoh like a triumphal progress. In fact, It would be strange were it otherwise. The people of Manitoba would be cold, indeed, if they failed to respond to the eloquent appeal* which have been made to their hearts and understandings by one of Can- ada's greatest sons. t• Town and Vouuty ()Introit Climes, - The annual meeting of Brucefleld Presbyterian church (Ross') will be held on Saturday, iri,ev Mr Hobbs, of Stratford, is help. Ing Rev J, Livingstone, of Kincardine, In special services, Rev Mr Harding, of Bedford, Eng,, conducted the service of St. Paul's olmrch, on Sunday evening. Ile will preach next Sunday morning. Ensign. Moore, late of Windsor, has been aseltsting in the S. A. services for a few days; he farewelled at Windsor last week, and is awaiting orders to some other point. The communion cervices of Willie church will be held on Sabbath next; in the the evening Revs W. Smyth and A. Stewart will exchange pulpits. Rev Mr McAllister will assist in the preparatory services. At the annual meeting of the W. C. T. U. the following officers were elect- ed:—Mrs Andrews was again elected President: Mrs J. W. Holmes, Mrs A. Stewart, Mrs Crich and Mrs Hoover Vice Presidents; Mrs W.Harland, CoI. Secretary; Mrs Seale, Rec. Sec. For nearly twenty years Mrs W. C. Searle has filled the position of Treas- urer to the Ladies' Aid Society of the Rattenbury street Methodist church, but increasing years has compelled her retirement, and at the last meeting of the society Mrs H. Foster was elected to succeed her. • While conducting service at Christ church, Chatham, on Sunday morning, the rector, Rev. Robert McCosh, (for- merly of Huron) was taken with a sud- den indisposition, and had to leave the reading desk and retire to the vestry. The congregation was dismissed. The clergyman's medical attendant says the trouble is of a bronchial nature. On Sunday morning last the mem- bers of the Canadian order of Foresters attended the Rattenbury St. church in a body, where a special sermon was preached for them by Mr E.A.Coomhs, of the Collegiate. The sermon was an excellent one, on "Love the Brother- hood," broad in its application to all mankind, coin prehensi ve in its thought, and delivered in a manner both inter- esting and impressive. The Lucknow Sentinel thus refers to a popular clergyman:—"The Rey. Jas. Livingstone, of Kincardine, gave a most interesting lecture on the "Hu- mor oils side of the World's Fair." The Rev. gentleman charmed the audience. For over an hour he held his hearers spell -bound. His outbursts of elo- quence, his descriptions of scenes, his sallies of wit, his delineation of charac- ter, these alone well paid those who attended. In fact it was such a rare treat that those who were not there missed one of the best concerts ever given in Lucknow." The Exeter Advocate of last week says:—"The anniversary of the Main street Methodist church was held last Sabbath. Rev J. W. Holmes, of Clin- ton, preached to an appreciative audi- ence, morning and evening, taking for his subject in the morning, 'The pew,' and in the evening, 'The pulpit.' It seems only a short time since Mr Holmes was the minister in charge of Main street, yet it is 18 years ago. and how many changes. Only a few, a very few, of all his membership of that date were present to greet him atthis anniversary. Mr Holmes was also the young man on the Exeter circuit 31 years ago. This present anniversary was in all respects quite equal, if not superior,..t,n an-y...anniver-sary- of•tire• past." The annual thank -offering meeting of the W.F.M.S. of the Presbyterian church, was held last Thursday even- ing. It was a very interesting and successful meeting; as the president, Mrs T,. Fair, was absent from town, Mrs J. W. Irwin occupied the chair, and filled it admirably. The meeting was opened with devotional exercises, Mrs Lough leading in prayer. After the leading of the minutes the pro- gram was entered upon, the chief feature being an address by Mrs Colin Fletcher, Thames Road, the President of the Presbyterial society; her subject was Thanksgiving; she fav several reasons why we should give, and our lives should show our gratitude, She is a pleasant speaker, and was listened to with interest and profit; we were all sorry when she ceased speaking. After the address the collection was taken, during this time all joined in a thank - offering responsive service; Miss Wil- son read the texts contained in the thankoffering envelopes. Mrs Anna Ross dedicated the money to the work in prayer. Misses M. McMurray, A. Gibbings, N. Fair, L. Irwin and Mrs Jas. Scott added much to the interest of the meeting by singing some very nice music appropriate to the occasion. Miss McEwen and Mrs R. Irwin read thankoffering leaflets, Mrs Fletcher made the closing prayer, and all joined in the doxology. The thank -offering envelopes and the monthly role amounted to $40. The attendance was very fair, but not so large as we could have wished. FOOTBALL.—On Thursday evening last, the Modelites, for the first time in a number of years, lined up a football eleven against the Collegiate team. The game was close and exciting, es- pecially during the first half time, the ball- being kept pretty well between the two lines of backs, with an occa- sional shot from both sides. At the end of twenty-six minutes, Newcombe shot the ball into the corner of the Modelites goal, making the score 1 to 0 in favor of the Collegiate. There re- mained but four minutes before half- time, but this time was profitably spent by the Modelites, for in two min- utes a goal was scored for them by Mc- Kinnon. At the end of half-time the score was 1 to 1. After much brilliant play on both sides, the Modelites again secured the ball, and McKinnon added more glory too. The C. I. secured the ball, and made many a brave rush, but were unable to score, and it looked as if the score was to remain 2 to 1 in fa- vor of the Modelites, but within the last minutes the "srfoppers" seized the ball, it was passed to left wing, where it was carried down the field by Mc- Kinnon, then passed to centre; Brown- lee then took charge of the ball and scored. • Time Was called, leaving the score 3 to 1 in favor of the "turtles." Mr Rand refereed the gafne, to the en- tire satisfaction of all. The Model School team Has as follows:—C. McIn- tosh, goal; F. Kirkton (Capt.), J. Pow- ell, backs; C. Mitchell, D. Weir, W. Mahood half -backs; H. Braden, C. Mc- Kinnon, left wing; T. Brownled, (Sec.- Treas.) centre; A. Thompson, J. Morri- son, right wing. • Outraged and infr red FovztTESN'YEAR-Or,e REITR TUE Plorzac.

The people of Listowel were startled on Friday by rumors to the effect that a mnr der had bee* committed about two milea from the town. Late in the afternoon these rumors were more than verified, when authentic reports were made known that a girl, only 14 years of age, had been subjected to the most brutal• outrage and afterwards murdered. THE VICTIM. The girl was Jessie Keith, the 14 year old daughter of kir Wm. Keith, a respeot- able farmer, who lives about one and a half miles from Listowel. It appears that *he unfortunate girl travelled on the rail- way track, which crosses the farm, on her way home from the post office, and there she was met by a tramp, it is supposed, and outraged and murdered. DISCOVERY OF THE CRIME. The discovery of the prime was made in a very unusual manner. For sometime eeotionmen have been kept busy attending to the track in this neighborhood, and most of them knew Jessie Keith by seeing her going and returning from the town along the railway track. After dinner the eeotionmen were returning down the track to resume their work, when suddenly one of them saw pieces of torn paper and rine between the rails, and he palled the atten- tion of his fellow -workmen to them. A ooniultation was held, and as scraps of clothing further along the traok were also found, fears were entertained of foul play, and immediately they set to work to in- vestigate the affair. Evidently there had been a straggle, as the marks at the side of track plainly showed. Following up these traces, the men came to a ploughed field, through which they saw something, or, perhaps, someone, had been dragged. It was a comparatively easy task to follow these signs, and at the end of the ploughed field they came to a swamp, 80 yards from the edge of whioh their investigations came to an awful termination. There the horrified men saw the outlines of a human form, covered over with moss and rotten wood, while a sickening ordor cf blood seemed to pervade the air. There, lying cold in death, was the body of Jessie Keith, whom they had seen in the full bloom of health only a few hours be- fore. The body was divested of all cloth- ing, and was lying in a pool of blood, which was yet oozing from several ghastly wounds in the head and body. It was very apparent that the foulest of crimes had been committed. The throat had been cut from ear to ear, and was wrapped in a white petticoat. The girl bled to death probably in half a minute. The heart was drained absolutely dry of blood. The stomach was lashed across, the wound in this case being superficial. A downward slash was then made, this time almost clean through the body, afterwards the sexual organs had been entirely cut out and carried away. All the wounds made after the out across the throat were blood• less, evidence that life was extinct before they were inflicted. A sharp knife would have done the work. It was of course im possible to say from the condition of the mutilated corpse whether or not the girl had been outraged either before_ or after death, but all the oiroumstances•pbinted to the fact that the deed was that of a man- iac of the same order as the perpetrator of the Whitechapel murders. TAE MURDERER ARRESTED. fine perpe£rator �of tliie irioet ` brata7 crime had evidently come up the railway track, when he met the poor girl. It seems more than likely that the au- thorities have safely lodged. in Stratford jail the man responsible for the horrible murder. Alameda Chattelle, a French Canadian, who was arrested on Monday, near Erin village, and taken to Stratford on Tuesday afternoon,when arrested threw away a parcel containing articles of wo- man's clothing. When searched at the jail it was discovered that he was making use of otherarticles in lieu of underwear. On October 3rd last a black valise such as found in the bash where the tragedy occur- red, and contained euoh articles as were described to be its contents, was stolen from a Mrs McLeod, of Ailsa Craig, and on Wednesday morning, on arriving at Stratford, she identified the valise with its contents, the petticoat wrapped around the dead girl's neck, as well as the articles found in possession of the prisoner when arrested, as her property. The Tam 0'- Shanter hat the prisoner wore was also identified as having belonged to her hus- band. Other witnesses from Ailsa Craig identified the prisoner as having been in that place on the date mentioned, and wit• neases from the locality of the murder identified him as having been seen carrying the valise, and as having been near the scene on Friday last. Government De- tective Murray, Constable Woods and seve- ral witnesses from Listowel, upon being confronted by the prisoner, identified him as the tramp seen in the vicinity before and after the murder took place. There are a number of other Strong points of evidence, which seem to indicate beyond a doubt that Chattelle is the man wanted. The chain of circumstances which point to his guilt is now so strong and com- plete as to settle the matter almost beyond the possibility of a doubt. Proof has accu- mulated which no explanation compatible with innocence can dispose of, and which makes guilt as certain almost as if the murderer had been seen in the act. HIS OWN STORY. The man's story about himself is some- what interesting. He said he was a miner by occupation, and that he had been three times around the world, to Greenland, and over various parts of the United States. During a stay in Texas some years ago he olaimed to have sheltered the Jesse James gang, when they were conducting their famous road operations, and said he was well acquainted with Jesse. At an examination of the prisoner in his cell at the county jail, he admitted having stolen the valise containing the articles al- ready named, together with the Tam o'Shanter cap which fooled the Lietowel people as to his identity. He also says he slept in the Keith bush on the night before the murder, and left the valise there. THE CAPTURE If, as is believed by all the officials, the murderer has been run down, to Constable Travis, of Erin, belongs the credit of ap- prehending the vilest criminal that -has ever been behind prison bars in this Do- minion. Travis, it may be said, is a young man who has seen a great deal of the world, and is one of those quiet, resolute fellows who fear nothing in the pursuance of their duty. Beyond relating to the newspaper men, who eagerly crowded around him, the circumstances of the capture, be had very little to say. ,temp of li teretst NOT ENM Y,41r LO AL, 13UT MAY PR iEGAltPEED A8 StIoJ .

There were 450 cattle, 100 calves and 600 sheep and lambs offered at tho Jlast End Abattoir to -day. There was also a considerable number of cattle which had been sent out to grass last week, but their owners thought it best to refrain from placing them on an overcrowded market to -day, There was not a large attendance of butchers, and trade was unusually dull, with the probability of a con- siderablo numborrof caths remaining unsold. Really good beeves were not plentiful, and some of the best wore held at 31c por lb, but 310 was about the highest price paid. Pretty good cattle sold at from 3 to no por lb; common cows and rough halt -fatted steers, 21c por lb; and lean cows 2e per Ib. At the recent meeting at Walkerton, where D'Alton McCarthy, M. P., spoke, Mr Wm. Bowes, a former Conservative, expressed great pleasure at the denuncia- tion of the "N.P "—"thdt darned fraud," be exclaimed. The adjective is a trifle strong, but it only exemplifies the strength of the growing opposition to this class law.
