THE DAILY EXAMINER.

NOVEMBER 23, 1888.

Another Victory.

(ur Liberal-Conservative Party has scored another victory. The contest in East Northumberland, on Wednesday, re- sulted in the election of the Government candidate (Mr. Cochrane) by a majority of fifty. The Moncton J'imnes furnishes the

following bald facts

‘In 1874 the Grit majorities ln two clec-

ri. T) ‘On. tious were ia the vicinity of 200. The Con got on top in 1878, having an ex-

servatives ) candidate, but on his death

? +eanc ptionaly strong

in 2880, the seat was regained for the Crrits by Darius Crowter, by about 200 majority,

and held by him until 1-84, when’ victory perched ou the Conserv itive banner through the instrumentality of Mr. Edward Cochrane At the geveral election in 1887, Dr. Mallory, Grit, fought the constituency, and beat Mr. Cochrane by 13 votes. He was unseated, and at the neXt election, in December, ISS7, Mr. Cochrane was successful by 25 votes, only In his turn to be unseated. Hence, yesterday's election, which, as stated, has resulted in Mr. Cochrane's re-election by an increased ma- jority.”

This result, in such a close constituency shows that the champions of Unrestricted Reciprocity are losing ground. The Op- position candidate depended upon Sir Richard’s fad and Sir Richard's help,—and failed !

On the day before the election the Toronto Globe said :

‘* Doctor Mallory is running, not on the ground that Mr. Cochrane’s skim milk is the ‘milk in the cocoanut,’ not on the ground that Mr. Cochrane is personally a bal ‘Tory candi- date, but on the ground that, as Unrestricted Reciprocity would vastly promote East North- umberland interests, a supporter of that policy should be returned.”

The result is signiticant. East North-

umberland is a farming comminity. >++3+o—

A Mercantile Decision.

AN important question was very recently decided in the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice in England. There is a trade gazette published in Lon- don in which all judgments, mortgages and bills of sale are published. This paper is iistributed amongst subscribers who are generally merchants. In one of its num- bers was published a judgment which had been recovered against a man named Williams. At the time of the publication of the paper, the judgment had been privately paid, but satisfaction had not been entered at the proper oflice. Williams brought an action for libel against the

Our Book Table.

The November issue of ‘** Night and Day” lies on our table, and, as a record of christian philanthropy, might be compar- ed to a consecrated vase, bearing up the Sunflower of Faithfulness, and the night- blooming Cerius that opens only in dark- ness and gloom. It is Vol. XI[—No. 129, and the mind (if that of a philanthropist) eounts those numerals, as the traveller memorises the record-stones of the road he has passed over. They tell of a vast mileage through the slums and sloughs of a district reekingin corruption and crime. They shew that philanthropy, in this nineteenth century, is something more than a name, and they seem to give a new reason for mil- lenial thoughts. ‘To read about it is the next best thing to a practical participation in this great and good work.

Volume IX of The American Magazine (a publication that wholly represents Am- erican thought), commences with the number for November, which has just come to hand, and is entitled to its usual wel- come. That well illustrated article on an American Theatre, is full of interest, and lovers of the stage will see many points for their admiration and delight in both picture and print. The paper on The First Ameri- can Embassy to Pekin certainly illustrates the difference between forcing and humor- ing aresult. The Chinaman (if the state ment is a correct shewing) gave the lion's tail an ugly twist, while he feasted and feted the more compliant Yankee. Soft American words evidently turned aside the Celestial’s wrath, while the British growl- ing as evidently stirred up angry condemn- ation from the belching mouths of the Pekin cannon.

There is a second paper of very con- siderable interest, (illustrated by Z. A. Chapin (on The Valley of the Connecticut Valley, of more than local value. There is also a second paper on America’s Crack Regiment, and takes in the famous X XII1’s of Brooklyn. As it is the intention of the publishers to considerably extend this series, and rehearse some of the unwritten pages of personal daring during the great struggle of Lincoln’s time, much that should be saved from ‘oblivion will become a permanent record, and many a bereaved family will be able to point to former sacri- fices for the unity and perpetuity of coun- try with feelings of becoming pride. The December number will devote the space allotted to Crack Regiments to the Twenty- Second, New York, from which source there is plenty of good material to be dug out. The publishers are The American Magazine Publishing Co., 749 Broadway, New York City.

No. 50 of the William Bryce issues of handy volumes of fiction, is a rather un- usual presentation of some queer incidents and queerer people. There is much that is comical and a great deal more that is nonsensical in the allotment of parts, but there can be no doubt about considerable interest attaching to the filling in, even if the framework is somewhat shakey.

** John Ward, Preacher,” has arrived from tho publishing house of Theo. Robin-

proprietor of the Trade Gazette, which was tried before the Lord Chief Justice of Eng- land, and a verdict given in Williams’! favor. The defendants appealed, but the!

. ' Court sustained the verdict. The Court, | in rendering judgment, said :—

“No doubt when the paper was published there was a judgment against the plaintiff unsatisfied on the eourt books, but which, it was suggested, meant that it was still in force; was that libellous? Rut this was not a com-

son, Of Montreal, written by Margaret Deland, who has indulged before in the seductions of the guile. Asa rule one doea not like to read noveis that hinge upon a preacher's characteristics, but Margaret has made as good a literary mince of the in- gredients furnished by her little plot, as under the circumstances seems possible. So if there are, (in the opinion of readers) some evidences of poor cocking, the ex- | pectation is also adinissable, that at some future entertainments there may be fuller

plete publication of all that had taken place supplies of a more appetizing character.

as to the judgment, for it did not mention chat it had actually been paid, and the publi- cation was meant as a caution to the trade, ant so would convey that the judgment was not satisfied. That it had that meaning had been found by the jury ; and they couid hardly nave found otherwise, as men of busiuess, looking to the nature of the publication ob- vious y intended as a warning to traders, and meaning that, at the time of publication, the judgment was not satisfied. Assuming that this was conveyed, then it was not true in fact, fur the jadgment had been paid, although no satisfaction hadi been entered in the judg- ment office. It could not be disguised that the effect of such a publication might be to injari usly atfeet a tradesman’s credit. The jury bad found for the plaiatitf and their ver- dict could not be disturbed.” fn this Island a weekly paper is publish. ed im which every judgment, etc., entered in the Supreme Court is set out. The pro- prietors of this paper publishes it for the purpose of making money, and the decision of the English Courts is one which the merchants and traders of this Island will not regret. It seems nothing but fair and reasonable that if a proprietor of a trade journal publishes the fact of a judg- ment having been recovered, he should be prepared to take the responsibility of assur- ing his subseribers that that judgment is, en the day of publication, in full force and unpaid. If it is paid in point of fact (ir- respective of whether it is marked satisfied) he should be held liable to the person who has suffered damage by his publication as well as by his neglect to make the neces- sary enquires from the proper parties to ascertxin whether the judgment had been, im fact, paid. This is what the English Courts have de- cided. But the decision would appear to o further ; and, as a consequence, hold not only the publisher, but those who supply the information to him, liable to the in- jured party. This 1s a legitimate inference to be drawn from the above decision, and, therefore, it would be as well for the Pro- thonotary and his Deputy, together with the Reyistrar of Deeds, to see that they are fully indemnified by the proprietors of ‘**MfcKillip’s Commercial and Legal Rezister, y in view of the many actions which may probably be commenced against them.

—lIn th. British House of Commons, a few days ago, Mr. Howard Vincent asked whether the Government had observed a movement for Commercial Union between the United States and Canada, and whether, seeing that the Dominion Parliament rath favored Commercial Union witch other lands, the Government would seek to elicit the opinion of the cvlonies with a view to & commercial understanding be- tween the different parts of the Empire. Mr. W. H. Smith reptied that the Govern- ment was quite aware of the progress of events, but liad not considered whether

The Canadian edition ot Jules Verne’s **Courier of the Czar,” under the title of ** Michael Strogoff,” comes from the press of William Bryce, of Toronto. It would be difficult to tind any one at all acquainted with Russian history, Russian thought, or Russian manners, that could feel no interest in a well written volume on Siberia. This admirable work of Jules Verne has just encugh fiction through it to fasten its facts upon the understanding, and just enough romance of incident to maintain an intelli- gent attention throughout a_ perusal, Siberia is a terra incognita to so many, and at the present time there is so much atten- tion being called to the exile system, that this excellent translation of an excellent work cannot fail to advance a deeper inter- est and a wider knowledge on all the sub- jects for which the word Russian has be- come # geasric term.

The Parneli Commission.

The taking ofevidence was resumed bythe Commission, on Wednesday. George Cur- tin gave further details of the murder of his father. After the murder the family were boycotted, and their servants compel- led to leave their service. Curtin testified that he wasa member of the league when it was first organized. His father was vice- president ofa branch. The witness had no reason to believe that the league was im- plicated in the crimes against his family. Various branches of the league, he said, denounced the murder.

Norah Fitzmaurice deposed that in June, 1887, a letter signed by aman named Dowl- ing, secretary of a branch of the league, was reeeived by her father, requesting him to attend a meeting of the league. Her father did not go. After this incident the people's demeanour towards her father changed, and he obtained police protection. The witness gave in detail the shooting of her father, while on his way to attend the Listowell fair in January. Her father and uncle disagreed respecting the farm on which her father resided, and the people sid- ed with her uncle. She knew the league had been suppressd in County Kerry.

The counsel for the Parnellites here read an article published in the Kerry Sentinel, condemning the murder of Fitzmaurice, and regretting that the league wassuppress- ed, and that the beneficial effects which

Jubilee at Souris. FATHER DONALD FRANCIS MACDONALD CELE- RRATES THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ORDINATION—A LARGE GATHERING OF PRIESTS AND PEOPLE—ADDRESSES AND PRESENTATIONS. Yrsrerpay being the twenty-fifth anni versary of the elevetion tu the priesthood of the Rev. Donald Francis McDonald, a

erand celebration took place at Sours, ° o

where he has ministered to his grateful flock for the last twenty-three years.

On Wednesday evening His Lordship Bishop Melntyre, accompanied by the Revs. James McDonald, V. G., Dugald McDonald, P. Doyle, James JE. McDonald, William Phelan, Charles McDonald, A. E. Burke, John McDonald, A. J. Melntyre, F. X. Gallant, 8. J. Phelan and several other clergymen arrived by train ab Sourts and were immediately driven to St. Mary's

wresbytery.

At 8 o'clock the same evening a Musical Entertainment in honor of the occasion was given at the Convent, and addresses delivered and presents offered by the junior and senior Societies of the Children of Mary, and the pupils of the Convent.

On Thursday morning a solemn High Mass of Thanksgiving, in the presence ol the Bishop, was celebrated by Father Donald, assisted by Fathers Doyle and James “Eneas McDonald as deacon and sub- deacon. The Bishop was attended at the throne by Vicar-General McDonald and Father Dugald of Tignish. Fathers Allan McDonald, Walker and Gallant conducted the choir service. The sermon was given by the Rey. D. M. McDonald, who, after speaking of the priesthood and proving 1's divine origin, feelingly referred to Father McDonald'slifein the ministry, and besought the Giver of all good to bestow upon him- self and his future labors the same measure of blessing as He has so generously be- stowed on the years that had that morning been grouped into a quarter of a century.

After Mass, the citizens’ address was presented—and a splendid address it was— and accompanied by a purse of $300.

Then came the address of the Benevo- lent Irish Society, accompanied by a_ gift of a splendid set of harness.

The altar boys of St. Mary's also present- ed an address and gift, all of which elicited feeling replies from the good pastor.

The civil part of the programme over, the bishops end priests were entertaine | at dinner in the Convent, where a table, load- ed down with good things, awaited them. The ladies of Souris did the honors.

After a sumptuous repast, the clergy and strangers took the train forthe West, all animated with the hope that the popu- lar and respected pastor of Souris might live to celebrate, with the same eclat, the golden jubilee of his priesthood,

The Great Magazine. THE CENTURY FOR 1889.

The question has often been asked, *‘ to what dves the Century owe its great cir- culation?” The Christian Union once answered this by the statement that ‘*it has been fairly won, not by advertising schemes, byt by the excellence which char- acterizes it in every department.” In thoir announcements for the coming year the publishers state that it has always been their desire to make the Century the one indispensable periodical of its class, so that whatever other publication might be desirable in the family, the Century could not be neglected by those who wish to keep abreast of the times in all matters pertaining to culture. Ard the unprece- dented circulation of the magazine would seem to be the response of the public to this intention.

With the November number the Century begins its thirty-seventh volume. Two great features of the magazine which are to continue throughout the new volume are already well known to the public, the Lincoln history and the papers on ** Siberia and the Exile System.” The first of these, written by Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, Presideut’ Lincoln’s private secretaries, contains the inside history of the dark days of the war, as seen from the White House.

THE SIBERIAN PAPERS,

by George Kennan, are attracting the at- tention of the civilized world. The Chi- cago Tribune says that *‘ no other magazine articles printed in the English language just now touch upon a subject which so vitally jnterests all thoughtful people in Europe and America and Asia.” Asis already known, copies of the Gentury enter- ing Russia have these articles torn ont by the customs officials on the frontier.

DURING 1889

The Century will publish the most import- ant art feature that has yet found place in its pages. Jt isthe result of four years’ work of Mr. Timothy Cole, the leading magazine engraver of the world, in the gal- leries of Europe, engraving from the or- iginals the greatest pictures by the old masters. A series of papers on Ireland, its customs, landscapes, etc., will appear and there are to be illustrated articles on Bible scenes, treating especiaily the sub- jects of the International Sunday-school Lessons. George W. Cable will write ‘*Strange, True Stories of Louisiana.” There will be novelettes and short stories by leading writers, occasional articles on war subjects (supplemental to the famous ‘War Papers” by General Grant and others, which have been appearing in the Century), etc., ete. :

The Century costs four dollars a year, and it is published by the Century Co., of New York, who will send a copy of the full prospectus to anyone on request.

Crime in Whitechapel.

THE STORY TOLD BY AN ABANDONED WOMAN. There was great excitement in London on Weduesday morning last, when it was reported that another woman had been murdered and mutilated in Whitechapel. The police immediately formed a cordon around the premises anc an enormous crowd gathered. it was learned that an- other murder had been attempted upon a low woman by a man who accompanted her toSher lodging, but in this instance the work had been frustrated. According to the woman’s story the man seized and struck her once in the throat with a knife. She struggled desperately and succeeded in freeing herself from the man’s grasp ard screamed for help. Her cries alarmed the man, and he fled without attempting fur- ther violence. Some neighbors who heard the woman’s screams followed the murderer about three hundzed yards, when he disap- peared from sight.

The name of the woman attacked is Farmer. She says her assailant is about 30 years old, tall, fair, and wears a light moustache. He was well dressed, spoke with a purely English accent, and from his conversation was evidently well acquainted with Whitechapel and the habits of its women. From information she has given the police have gained new confidence and believe now that they can run the murder- er dowa. He was seen running by three men who lived in a ledging honse near at} hand. The fellow treaded his way adroit ly through the crowd, and choosing his way through iarrow streets and alleys with a quickness which proved his thorough familiarity with the locality, he successfully eluded his pursuers, and disappeared. From the brief glimpses that the pursuing men caught while following him, the fellow was only seen to be short in stature,rather stout in build, and to be well dressed and have a light moustache.

The police have made further investiga- tions into the story told by the woman Farmer, above referred to, and have er- rived at the conclusion that it is false. There is only a slight bruise on her throat, and they believe she inflicted that injury herself while drunk.

A Dr. Dumblety alias Blackburn, has been arrested in connectien with the Whitechapel murders. The Doctor is well known to many people in St. John, in
