SALE Mf A.NO'l'ftlilt RUN.1L1) IINGiN0 At Cote 8t. Paul, Near Montreal. Telegraph despatch received by the Ronald Works to -day from -Mr. Parson, their general agent, from above town says ; "Engine tested yesterday before Mayor and Council and large assembly of people. Gave splendid exhibition. Council met same evening and resolved on Ronald steamer. Waterous Engine in• vitad to come but failed to appear." They also gave an exhibition at Ayl• mer, Que., ten miles above Ottawa, on the way down with this engine. They highly pleased all the mechanics, which is likely to end ill another order shortly. The Blenhehn engine was tested, giving highest satisfaction and aooepbed two weeks ago. Below Os what the ]Blenheim paper of Oot. 16th says :—The engine made steam rapidly and inside of 11 mintttee from the kindling of the fire, !motor was being thrown 15 fent over the top of the elevator which is over 100 feet in beight. Another line of Those was then attaohed and a minute later two streams wore being thrown far over the. elevator. This test was looked on with snrprds° by !lucre who hod nover before seen a steamer at !York, and many were the encomiums passed on the neat, pre. oise and quiet wtty in which the angina did its work. Although a new machine it worked like a °harm and gave every appearance of being able to go on in- definitely in the same way. The engine was thou pulled down to the big !Utah be- side the runway and 500 feet of tho new Baker fabric loose Tadd out ; in 30 sea. after starting this hose was fillers and tooter being thrown, Through a Li inch nozzle the main body of water twee thrown 175 feat, while the furthest dies tame recorded by Mayor ktnlbolland and Clerk Gibson, who held the tope line, was 206 foot. To those who had in times peat helped to run the hand engine this was almost marvellous. Next tho engine was stopped, s, Siamese soupier was pot on aid two 100 foot linos of the Ohl luso wars attached to rho 500 feet of mew, Throwing two streams through and I Inuit nozzles, attaolied in this manner•, water was thrown to a distance of 138 feet. This work was all done with o eboain pres.nre of 00 Ihu. The test was onlinently satisfactory to all the town olliciels, it ie dem,netrated that with this engine and the 1000 feet of hose wo now possess, almost every house in town can be remelted with e good stream of water In case of lire. Hurrah for the Ronald Fire Engine 1 Washington Letter. (From our ltogalar Correspondent,) WABnrwwTON, Oct, p, '91, The October berm of rho Supreme Court of the United Status which opens next Monday is one of the most impor. tent over held is all the history of that great tribunal. In the first place the number of oases, 305, is the largest on docket at the beginning of a terns. There has beet' a steady inorsase lo the number of cases during many years, The organi- zation of an intermediate court of ap- peals has not yet abated the volume of business before the Supreme Courb, it having been too recent to have had such !Afoot as will almost oortainly follow, The Behring Sea Seyward case, the lot. tery oases, the grain elevator ooze from New York, and the three Oases involving the constitutionality of the tariff Sob are set for bha 17th and 19th instants, In the interesting legal contention over the last mentioned issue the MoKinley act is assailed on the'ground that the hill never passed the House and Senate as it was signed by the President, Itis contended that the bill which did pass both Houses of Congress, and which included the tobacco rebate, was never presented to the President, as required by the Con. etitution. The point involved is whether the omission of an item from a bill which had passed Congress vitiates the legislation, the executive having ap- proved the truncated bill. The sixtieth annual report of the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs is riot only on interesting but an encouraging doou. ment inasmuch as it expresses the con- fident conviction that the present mode of dealing with the Indians will result in uplifting them onto the plane of at least the elementary activities end reeponsi. bilities of oivilized life. Commissioner Morgan is of the opinion that the time has come for putting an end to the folly of making treaties with the tribes as though they were independent nations. Ho would have Congress declare that hereafter their competency to make war will not be recognized and that any at, tempt of theirs to go on the warpath will be supreeeed as any other iusnrrso' tics or riot would be, mad that any par- ticipants in such an attempt will be punished like other disturbers of the peace. He also suggests Hutt the five civilized tribes should be enabled to form either a Territorial or State Government, and that they should be represented on the floors of Congress. This would in- volve their admission to and their enjoy- ment of, all the rights of citizens of bbe U. S. according to the principles of the Constitution. Mr. Morgan believes !bat the ultimate destruction of the entire system of reservatioue is inevitable and he insists that whatever the right and title of the Indians on them may be they must yield to the pressing demands of civilization!. There was considerable gossip started among the politicians by the announce- meet that Gen. Clarkson dined with the President Tuesday evening. While there has been no rupture between Mr. Her. risen and Mr. Clarkson it has been un- derstood for souse time that they were not on the most cordial terms and it was said that when Geu. Clarkson took the plane of Mr. Quay as chairman of the national executive oonlmittee it would be run in praotioat antagonism to Air. Har- rison. Ib has, however, been appareub of late that Mr. Harrison has overcome the antagonism of Gen. Clarkson as well es that entertained by some other promi- nent leaders. It is not supposed that the menu was the most important thing dis- cussed at table, and the foot of General Clarkson being entertained at the White House is acoepted as an indication that they.are patching up their differences and 5otniog to an understanding for the future of the party. Inclement weather did not dampen the enthusiasm or mar the success of Ger- man day in Washington. Our German fellow oitizens did themselves high credit in every feature of the celebration. In the number and appointments of the floats, it' the turnout of citizens and In speaking and other exercises the occasion Was everthiug that it should be. The report that Mr. Blaine has con- sented to make throe speeches in Aiassa- ahusobts was diaoountod in advance. He will not take the °bump in Massachu- setts, in Ohio, in losva, or even in Penn- sylvania, the State of his nabivity. So far as the present campaign is eoucorned the men from Maine ie toot uninterested, but ho is oortainly not "in it." Ex•Senabor Blair onnounoos that his resignation as minister to China has finally been accepted, consequently the United States now has a diplomatic rep- resentative only at one end of the Calee• tial line. Minister Denby will p'obably continua in bnsiuess at the old stand. The short service system is to be so• tended in the German army. Nina of the crow of the steamer Wolvis- toc, whioh was wrecked 1n mid•Atlautia Sep, 29, have arrived at Halifax, Tho appointment of Mr. Balfour to the leadership of the Innpeaiel Commons is roosived with satisfaction by the Conger• votive press. It is reported that the old-time oliicdal friondship between Germany and China is a thing of the peat, Minister Rrandit demands indemnity for rho ontrages against foroignora, having realieod rho colossal deception of the Cbinaso, A Tien•Tein message says the French Minister, 112, Lenairo, has returned to his post ab Pekin, nod oonflrms tho report of the unanimous agreemonb of the foreign powers. Many worehips have arrived at Shanghai. Thor(' are rumors abroad that rho insurgents intend to sot fire to also European quarter, but all is still quint.

The civic eensne of Victoria, B. C., gives the population as 22,981, which is 6,000 more than the official census recent- ly declared. About 1,000 baskets of tomatoes have been taken off a garden in St. Catharines, and the garden is good for another 1,000 if the frost holds off. The St. Thomas hotelkeepers have de- cided to continue the rule to charge leo cents a gyres for whiskey, uo matter how poor in quality it may be. Essex boasts of a couple named Page who have three children named First Page, Second Page and Thitd Page. They will soon maks a book. Jessie Wood, of Maidstone, has enter- ed an action for 65000 against Henry G. Arnold, jr., of Maidstone Cross, for al- leged breach of promise of marriage. ' Edwin Wright, the Colchester farmer who severely trounced Arnold McOar- miek, a school teacher, for whipping his son, pleaded guilty to assault at Windsor on Saturday morning and was fined 615,• 95. Last Friday while walking through a strawberry patch belonging to Chas. Watson, near Dixie, a neighbor picked a number of strawberry blossoms and formed berries and ono or two ripe straw. berries. The M. 0. R. Co. has paid 51500 to Mrs. Hector Grant, of St, Thomas, in settlement of the action brought by her for the loss of her husband, a brakeman on the road, who woe killed in an acci- dent at Dutton last Christmas night. E. Louiseau, north of Comber, had a well put down last year with good re- sults. Last week water was seen escap- ing from the bop of the pump. The pump was taken out of the well and the water is now shooting upwards over 30 feet above the barn, Andrew Allison, sr., wants his Blen• beim friends to ]seep their bees at hone. Last week a swarm came out and lit on his colt. Naturally the colt objected and in the struggle between colt and bens the colt got the worst, and is now said to be a horrible looking object. W. Danford, a York county farmer, living near Toronto, was in Windsor look- ing for his daughter. Sha left borne on Oot. 2nd, stating that she was going to the city to see some friends and since then no trace of her can be found. She is 15 years old, a brunette and weighs about 105 pounds. An alleged Christian science cure is reported from Windsor. Miss Minnie McDonnell, aged 20, had been confined to bed with hip disease for months, She visited a "scientist" in Detroit, taking her crutches with her. In a day or two she returned home, and walked into the house withob the all of the crutches. The cure seems pernament. A fire broke out in the Far- mers' Hotel, Ripley, on Friday morning about 8 o'clock, totally consuming the building and contents, also John Martin's blaukamith shop, the ooetents of which were partially saved. The hotel was owned and occupied by Robert Morgan. Total loss, over 59,000, with no in- suranoe. John Martin's loss on black, smith shop and oonteuts,$700 ; insured in Lancashire for 6500. A large sawmill owned by the Psbrolea Oil Company on the 3.0th con. of Brooke was the scene of a terrible accident Friday morning, which re - nutted in the death of a young man named James Whalen. It appears that Whalen was taking away slabs from the saw, and while so engaged stumbled backward against the belting, in which he was oaoglht and carried like a flash through the pully. The belting and gear was smashed and the saw went up through the roof in pieces. The young man never spoke after being relieved. He presented a horrible appearance, being terribly crushed and mangled, Xis legs were ground to a pale, one arm was broken in several planes and his body laid open. Mr. Whalen was 32 years old and auinarried. Frain information reoeived by the Moister of Agrioulture it is learned that there is now a good demand for the two - rowed barley, whioh has been grown in Canada, for shipment to the .English market. The reports of the results of last year's besting by brewers in England have been very favorable and have atvalcened general interest in the subject. The exporters who wore handling this grain have been purchasing 1111ongh local boyars in all the principal barley districts in Ontario for the pilot two melte, paying about ton dents per bushel more for the two -rowed then is being of- fered for the six•roved. Several large ehipmente aro now abonb to be ramie from Montreal. Exporters aro some• what disappointed et the slow deliveries. Fanners do not sown to realize that as soon ns navigation olosee the advanced oast of sbipnhenb must necessarily allleot the price. Great caro should be exercised by the dealers to avoid any mixture of tis two•rowed with the six -rowed, ns by so doing they will reduce the value of both to that of Toed barley, A large pro- portion of the surplus crop should ba marketed within the next two or three weeks, Corrie Orange Lodge intend holding a grand banquet on the evening of Nov. 1, Jon, Stivaou, of Gerrie, had a mangold grow in hie garden Well ma:owed over 22 inahies in eireninferelioe, Louis P.

The petition against the return of William Mulook, 1MI. P. for North York, and the cross -petitions were to have been tried before Justicee Ferguson and Rob. ertson at Aurora Saturday, but both were withdrawn. This leaves Mr. Mal- ook in possession of his seat, A. Waterford despatch says that tsvo cows, belonging bo Dr. A. 0. Duncombe and Albert Wood, met on the street a short time ago. After sparring at each other for a few minutes n furious fight began, when one succeeded in breaking the other's hook and killing her instant- ly. Joseph Brown, a merciaut of Van. aonver, B. 0., takes this method of ad- vertising his goods :—"Have been attend- ing ahurab and world not tell fish yarns though ten men would swear to then. My warerooms are crowded full of furni- ture, but you cant get down to the prices without a step ladder; 5173 having one built." Mr. Callan, of Innerkdp, vouches for the troth of the following :--A short time ago a large lime stone was broken open. Encased in the oeutre in a sort of nest was a frog—a living frog. How long the frog had been there and upon what it sub- sisted are questions for some of our amateur geologists to wrestle !vitt!. This is not a fish story. Samuel Howard, cheese maker at Gonia cheese factory, has met with great 'success this year. At the Toronto exhi- bition out of three entries he took one first and one se000d prize, At London be made seven entries and secured three first prizes and one second, carrying off the buyers prize for the three best cheese colored or white, any date. He received in prize money $180.00. Brantford will be without the axone. ment of tate civic election its January. Owing to the addition of the new terri- tory and the re -division into wards, it is impossible to get the lists out in time, and as the result of a conference with the Hon. A. S. Hardy, it was decided to postpone the elections until matters are in readiness. This means that the mayor and present aldermen will occupy office in all likelihood mail March. Medical men throughout the Province are greatly interested in two cases, whioh will be disposed of at the St. Thomas Assizes this week. The first is that of Mre. Donald Munro, who sues Dr. Ful. ton for damages for the loss of her hus- band, who died while under the iuduenoe of chloroform administered by the doobor and a student. Tho other ie that of Jeremiah Donahue agvinsb Dr. Mo0a1- lum, of Loudon, for alleged slander in circulating a report that ho was afflicted with a oerbain disease. George Tate Blackstock, Q. C., will be counsel for the plaintiff in both cases, and W. 13. Meredith, Q. 0., will act for the defeuos. Several Toronto physioians will be among the witnesses, and nearly all the looal medicos will be milled. An Essex man in Windsor was anxious to catch the train leaving Walkerville at noon, and had only a few minutes before the train was due to leave. As he came around the corner he saw the last street oar leaving about a hundred yards ahead of him, He drew a whisble out of his pocket and blew a shrill blast to attract the attention of the driver, at the name time starting to run. A policeman, who was standing a abort diatom(' away, rushed up exclaiming "What's the 'nat- ter 9 What do you want 9" "I want to Satoh that car," said the mai, "Well, what do you mean by blowing that whistle 9" said the Woe coat. "Dont von know that is a polios pall 9" "Police call," repeated the Essex than, "no, I did not know it ; I use it for salting my dog with when I'm as !home." Geo'g°, rho II -pane -013 eon of John Cornish, near Orebarch•ille, was help. ing his brother Peter drawing some hay when he fell off the load on the tines of a fort, whish penetrated his side and pierced his Ihoart. Peter, on missing his brother off the load, looped boot!, and seeing him gentling on the ground went to him, when the boy said, "I am bort here," placing his hand over hie boort, The older brothor nonrmemed to remove the slobhiug to the the extent of the in. jury, and notioing the manus of the two tines in the flesh remarked that he guessed it was only n scratch, when g tremor passed through aha injured lad and he dropped over dead. At the Limo oftheacoidest the boy's parents were in Mount Forest making purchases and otherwise preparing for the marriage of their eldest son, which was to have taken place last week. Number 18.

Hos Jorn:oy Klut,eu !Lar. ---One of the most touching iuoidsute that ooald well be imagined occurred early Friday morn- ing at the Union Station, Toronto. A. man 41 years of ago, owned John Gal- braith. atter having travelled nearly 5,- 000 miles in order that he !night roach his home, died in a Grand Trunk passen- ger oar when only 100 miles from the plane where his cherished desire would be realized. Those who witnessed the scene ab the Union Station state it to have been a most heartrending one. It appears that many years ago Galbraith left his home in St. Mary's and started west to make his fortune. He crossed the prairies and finally reached the Pad - bo paean, For years he remained in that country and was always mindful of his mother and friends, After a time he went north as far as Sitka, Alaska. There he engaged in work, but after two winters in that dreary land he discovered that he was dying gradually of oonsump• tion.
