STEWART, the •r,ulliu„airemerchant of New York. Wednesday, June 5th, 1889 A LOVER'S TRAGEDY. MURDER IN THE MIDLAND EXPRESS. A startling case of murder and suicide was discovered on the Mid- land railway, at Trenton station, near Derby, late on Saturday even- ing, the murderer being a foreigner, named Robert Feron, about twenty years of age, and the victim an actress, nettled Lillie 'Burford, about twenty ane years of age, a native 'of Spennymoor, Durham. The act appears to have been per - meditated. It would seem that the male deceased is a native of Brus- sels, and for some time past has been engaged as - a foreign cor- respondent at one o f the large manufacturing and wholesale houses in Derby. An attachment had sprung up between the two young people, and for a considerable time past they had been on most affec- tionate tonus. On,Saturdey, when Forron called upon the, young lady at her relatives' house' `i1 d) :rl)•; . whore she hard boon staviug, he was carryiug a buuclt of lilies, \which he at once gave to his sweetheart. She appeared to have been expecting him. Previous to his arrival, how- ever, she had remarked to ; uiu one in the house that "she must put o t sone clean clothes, as sho was going to die before the evening was over." As she made this remark without displaying any excitement., and appeared in her usual state of health and of mind, no notice whatever was taken of it. In fact, to all' appearances, they met as usual, talked in a casual sort of way, and their behavior in no way aroused the suspicion of the young lady's friends. After staying a short time they left together in the cab await- rng them for the Derby Central station. Ou the platform both wore seen together apparently on the most friendly terms, as they y entered the first-class refreshment room to- gether. Two first-class return tickets to Nottingham were taken. At Nottingham they walked leisure- ly on as far as the market -place, where they again partook of refresh- ment at the Talbot Hot ..and sub- soquently returned to Midland sta- tion at Nottingham, and on the platfortn there they were noticed, but nothing either in• their conduct or manner attracted attention. IIav- ing had further refreshment, the two entered a first-class carriage in the 9.20 express train, and occupied the carriage alone. Nothing more was seen or hoard of theta until the train reached Trent station, a dis- tance of six miles, when on going to collect tickets, one of the plat- form porters was horrified to find both lying on the floor of the carriage in a pool of blood. On examination it was found that both had received bullet wounds in the head, almost in identical spots. The young fellow was dead, but the woman showed some few signs of life• A silver-plated revolver, six b trrela, with four undischarged, lay on the carriage floor. The train being an - express to Derby the bodies were conveyed to the Derby Infirmary, where, the house sur- geon', on making an examination pronounced that life had been extinct in the case of the young fellow a considerable time. Tho young woman had a bullet wound in the left side of the head, and her injuries were at once seen to be fatal also ; she died in fifteen minutes after her admission. On searching tho young fellow's clothes' six more bullets were found wrap- ped up iu paper. Only 4s lld was found upon hien, while there was a letter lately fec.eivod from a relative of his written in a foreign lan- guage enclosing him £12. In addi- t'on there were several love -letters whioh had passed between the two, but all were written in a moat friendly manner, forming no grounds fur the sad tragedy. It hes, moreover, turned out that the unfortunate young woman had recently given up her determina- tion to follow tho profession of an actress, and had applied fur :1 situation as a barmaid at the Midland Hotel. None of the passengers who travelled by the, saino train heard the reports of the revolver or became award of the sad afiair until Trent was reached. The girl went to Derby three weeks ago for the purpose of obtaining a barmaid's situation at the Midland Hotel Failing in this, she ap- pears Hotel, have become depressed in .spirits and visited theaters and other places of amusement. At the theatre she met Feron, who has during his year's sojourn in Derby; shown a penchant for the society of actresses and music -hall artistes. He had been leading a gay life,.and some few months ago he became so much beyond the control of those who were made responsible for his conduct • at Derby that one of the friends of the family requested Feron's father to come over from Brussels. He came, and after the visit of Feron became quieter, though his fondness for theatrical society remained about the same. While in Derby he made the acquaintance of .a tradesman's daughter,who after some time'declined his companion- ship, whereupon he throstened that unless sho consented to a rendez- vous he would shoot her with a revolver, which he produced. This weapon he regularly carried, and frequently showed it to friends. Soon after Peron and the girl Bur- ford became acquainted a strong attachment sprung up between them, and Feron was a frequent visitor at the girl's lodgings in Princess Sq'lare, Derby. She dis- closed to him after a time the fact that she was engaged to bo married, but confessed her preference for Feron. In presence of other per- sons the young pair have often spoken of making- a sensation by committing suicide and ending their lives together. She remarked on Saturday, before leaving for Not-, tingham with her lover, that they intended'to do sotnething sensational anb would be found dead in the train. She only regretted that she would not be able to hoar the news- boys shout the news of the occur- anee, and witness the faces of the people who come to the door of the compartment. Another remark trade before the journey was under- taken going to show that she and Feron premeditated self-destruction was that she had' pnt on clean clothes, as she was going to die. '1'hoee ol,;oiv tions were, However, treated by her landlady simply as Silly j•)kes,and no notice was taken of them, Nor when, before the return Journey commenced, Feron gaily remarked to an acquaintance on Nottingham platform that he was about to commit suicide, was the re- mark treated seriously. That which, however, more conclusively than anything else points to the foolish pair having determined to die together is the discovery of a letter addressed by the girl to a friend at Spennymoor, Durham, where her home was. Therein she declared her intention to die with her lover. This letter, with six others in the handwriting of Feron, was found bloodstianed on the rail- way carriage seat, and not in Feron's pocket. At the identifica- tion of the bodies by the girl's mother ,and Feron's friend, there was a painful scene, the mother exclaiming. "Oh, my beautiful Lily." and then fainting away. Feron's friend kissed the dead man's face and cried bitterly. CHICAGO AHEAD. There wore only six or Dight of us in the parlor. ear, and it was plain to us that the lady from Chicago and the lady from Boston had a hostile feeling towards each other. I sup- pose it was because the lady from Chicago had the largest diamond ear -rings, or because the lady from Boston had the most fashionable hat. By-and-by the Boston lady loand over anZl politely inquired : 'Are you from the West I" ' Yes'm—Chicago.' 'C iicago l Chicago 1 seems to be I have heard tho name.' 'And you are from the Easti" queried Chicago. 'Yes'm—Boston.' Chicago reflected' a moment as if to rofi'eshhher memory, and then rang the hell for the porter, When ho canto she slowly said : 'Po -tab, ask the conduct-tah if he has a map. I wont to find a place called Bawston I' And by a non-partisan vote of four to two it was decided that Chicago had won. BY ---- Master of language though he was, able to pour forth a torrent of startling denunciation in massive sentences of classic purity—massed forces of rhetoric hurled in tropes, antitheses, philippics—Cicero was yet at the necessity, on great occas- ions, to . relieve the pont-flood of turb•ilent emotions by the use of his favorite expletive, "A. Hercule!" Not a soul•harrowing oath, truly, nor one of objectionable impiety, and modest for the times. But it illustrates a moral problem with which • writer for. Macitillan's Magazine has wrestled gracefully, under the title, "By—!" Tho dash stands for whatever oath the swearing man affects, and is an easy way of indicating a prodigious array of expletives, from jingo to the anathema maranatha. Tho articles is a comprehensive essay, but fails to throw light on the two points raised as to the origin of the habit of swearing or the especial value of it to the juror. For convenience swearing is divid- ed into three main var'letles—asdev- erative, denunciatory, and interjec- tional, the two last having a num- ber of subdivisions. To the first class belong judicial affirmations and all forms of legal and ecclesi- astical attestations. The second class embraces all those commina- tory anathemas that have their most familiar expression in the free - and -easy consignment to everlasting perdition whatsoever persons pro- voke or oppose us. The third class is tho downright superfluous sweat- ing degree of departure, the com- monest and the most offensive, and used to give emphasis to opinion or sentiment when it is not unconsci- ous, and does a great deal toward supplementing speech with persons whose ideas may , possibly exceed their vocabulary. It is observed that the style of swearing changes as does the fashion of clothes in'successivo generations, and the oaths of our grandfathers seems as ridiculous to us as does the cut of their garments. This is due in part to the fact that we patter 'the corruption without knowing its significance, not stopping to con- sider, for example, that "Zounds is a crasis of " By God's wounds," and " 's Blood" of "By his blood." " Egad," " ecad," and " ads zooks " are similar corruption of oaths that related to the Deity. But a man may now ejaculate any ono of those if so minded " without exciting auy particular resentment or dis- gust; possibly his hearers may be tickled and set him down for a wag." Swearing has' its ebbs and flows by epochs, sometimes subsiding into comparative disuse, again reappear- ing with increased intensity and virulence, ,and the writer quoted says : " Generally, if we would he' honest, wo inUst admit that the swearing of the nineteenth century if not so universally prevalent (as in the time of Shakespeare) is nevertheless, where it does flourish, at once fouler, uglier, and more hopelessly devoid of sense than any of the earlier codes. We seem to Have reached the nadir of a silly profanity which can nut show ono poor vestige of poetry or the pictur- esque. It is bad enough to swear elegantly, but in this day and gen- eration wo swear clumsily, vulgarly, ungrammatically, and, worse than all these, heinous as they are, most filthily." There are many people who swear constantly in blissful ignorance of the fact, with their " drat it," " dash it," " deuce take it," " good- ness gracious," " what the mischief," "confound it," and the like, by which they fain would realize "the comfort, whatever it be, of swear- ing, and yet he held guiltless of outrage on religious decorum. We may liken them to the temperance beverages which con tain just enough of alcohol to justify the sense of tippling." " Drat it " is a con- struction of the old " God rot it," deuce " is from Deus, and " what the mischief " really means " what the devil." Most of the seemingly inoffensive oaths had a serious origin, and who would not be profane by implication must abide literally by the Scriptural injunction "swear not at all." It is hopeless to inveigh against this habit, however, either in its mild or in its exacer- bated form, for " the self-denial and strength of will which alone in the moral pharmacopoeia can bo reckoned as efficacious drugs for such an emergency are not always forthcoming. Though syveariug infringes laws written and unwritten, is disgusting and degrading, our essayist declares "against this we are bound to reckon—for in certain constitutions they indubitably follow—a definite sense of satisfaction, an 'ease of mind, and a clearing of the molal» atmoephore, which, it seems, could not otherwise have been composed." In short, men often swear as women weep for the relief of overcharged feeling, and declare that they feel better after it. Tho question still to be answered is . " Why dons swearing afford more satisfaction than would the rolling out of mouth - filling words in which is no offence 1"—Chicago Inter (roan.

It is fortunate for tho Manitoba government that it is not under the control of such as desire to interfere with immigration to this country. They know that the groat wont of the province, as it is of the Domin- ion , and thor aro ready to take stops to promote the influx of settlors—no matter from what direction they may present themselves. It thus turns out•that the immigration agent act- ing for Manitoba in Ontario has been instructed to visit the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, etc, with the view of promoting tho settlement of Manitoba from those quarters. This is an excellent move,and one that has been frequently recommended in those columns. One can scarcely conceive of a more 111 lscllevious de- termination thou that which has been corm to et Ottawa—under certain pressure---to.discontinue ac- tive measures ful the plamoliou of the settlement or the country. But the people' up in Manitoba know better. 'rimy know that if this "new nationality"is ever to become worthy of the name it can only be in con- sequence of large additions to the population. ,Mere uninhabited territory dons not amount to very much ; or if it did the desert lands would he spoken of as groat coun- tries. It is not so much the acreage that exists as tido industry that is to be found exercising its vital forces on the land, leading up to multi- farious employment, all that goes to constitute a strong, progressive people. There is little doubt that agents hailing from Manitoba will find a hearty welcome in many parts of the States, and that they will be the moans of- restoring to Canada very many of tlloso who, under one pretence er another—under one misconception or another, have at various tinges boon induced to leave us. The success that may await their endeavors will be watched with interest, and if they become at all conunensurate to the anticipa- tions formed, will be able to teach a lesson to the Parliament at Ottawa.

NEWSPAPER LAWS We call the special atten tion of Post nesters and subscribers to the following synopsis of the newspaper laws :- 1—A postmaster is required to give notice BY LETTER (returning a paper does not answer the law) when a subscriber does not take his paper out of the office, and Itate the reason for its not being taken. Any neglect to do so makes the postmaster responsible to the publishers for payment 0—If any person orders lis paper dis- ontinued, he must pay all arrearvges, o] the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it bo taken fro!' the office or not. There can bo no legal discontinuance until the payment is made 3—Any person who takes a paper from the post -office, whether directed to hi: name or another, or whether lie has sub. scribed or not, is responsible for the pay. 4—If a subscriber orders his paper to le stopped at a curtain time, and the publish er continues to send, it the subscriber bound to pay for it if he takes it out of the post -office, This proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he uses A A A i 'In the Division Court in Goderich at the November sitting a newspaper put - lisher sued for pay of paper. The defend- ant objected paying on the ground that he had ordered a former proprietor of the paper to discontinue it. The Judge held that that was not a valid defence: The plaintiff,. the present proprietor, had no notiye to discontinue and consequently could collect, although it was not denied that defendant had notified former pro- prietor to discontinue. In any event defenabt was bound to pay for the tine he had received the paper and until he had paid all arrears due for subscription. CURE FITS!
