Worthy ov Iurration.—Messrs.

We trust thatall other dry goods men andlgrocery- men as well will see their way clear to close their stores all day on Saturday. The closing until six virtually amounts to no _ holidayat all, as the clerks will be unable to take advantage of the out-of-town excursions. By all means let them have the whole day.

Mr. Nvonan’s supply of fire- wood, which was cut and piled in a small grove near his bnildings, caught from the blazing fence and was burned. The fire flew from the tops of the trees, catehing on the yoot of his carriage house and blacksmith shop, which was, with difficulty, saved by the étrehuous exertions of the people. Some hay in his barn also caught, but was discovered and quickly put out. The people worked like Trojans to save Mr. Noonan’s buildings, for on their success depended the safety of the village. The building was considerably damaged, but luckily the fire was conquered and the house and barn saved. The tlames from the burning trees also caught in Mr. Cook’s yard, but were quickly put out. Centreville never before had so narrow an escape,

Monrreat, May 22
A serious collision occurred this morniag on the river, between the R. M. 8. Poly- nesian, Of the Allan line, commanded by Captain Hugh Willi@jand the Cynthia, of the Donaldson line, commanded by Captain | John Taylor, resulting in the sinking of the latter vessel and the loss of the lives of eight of her crew. The Polynesian was proceeding down Vairenes Canal, opposite
Point St. aux Trembles, when she per- ceived the Cynthia inward bound. John Coates, chief officer of the Cynthia, says he had _ barely time
to observe anything as the Cynthia began to settle down, and it appeared about seven minutes from the time he felt the shock to the time she sank. Che position in which the Cynthia now lies is proof positive that she was on her proper course, and as the Polynesian was struck on the starboard side, he contends this shows that somehow
or other she was going out of her proper course. He believes that something had gone wrong with the stearing gear of the
Polynesian, as otherwise she have gone so far astray. The following is the list of those of the
could hardly
crew of the Cynthia who lost their lives: Hugh Irving, Chief Cook, Glasgow - Alex. Nichol, sailor, Glasgow; Andrew Vance
and Charles McCracken, trimmers; James Low, fireman ; James Fovrin, boatswain; | David Young, stowaway from Glasgow, and | Charles Blackstock, mess room boy. The | Polynesian proceeded to Quebee with 120 passengers. QUEBEC, May 22.
The Polynesian arrived at 8 p. m., but | her ofticers refused to be interviewed. They said, however, that three of their men | were nearly killed. One of the Cynthia's crew jumped on board when the collision | took place, thus saving his life. ‘There is | a break inthe ship's starboard bow fully | 20 feet in diameter. The officers say the | Polynesian slacked®her speed, but the Cyn- | thia came on in full speed with the evident intention of crossing her bow, hence the | collision.
MURDER MOST FOUL,
Doctor Cronin’s Body
FOUND IN A SEWER.
How He Came to His Beath.
CuicaGo, May 22.
The dead body of Dr. P. H. Cronin, the Irish-American who disappeared two weeks ago, was found this evening some distance north of the city in asewer on Wanston Avenue. A bloody towel was wrapped around his head. A Catholic emblem which the Doctor wore suspended about his neck was untouched. On the dead man’s head were a dozen deep cuts that severed the scalp and indented the skull. The opinion of the police is that Cronin was foully murdered by some maa who could not disturb the Catholic trinkets. The finding of the corpse was accidental. Some laborers working in the vicinity were attracted to the catch basin by the smell of decomposing flesh. The body had been apparently hastily pitched into the basin with its head underneath and the feet and legs in the opening. Doctor Brandt cavre- fully examined the body to-night. He said the blows on the head must have been made by a sharp instrument, perhaps an | ice-pick.
Shot by a Boy. SACKVILLE, N. B., May 22.
A man named Thompson Wood, living
on the Shediac Road, four miles from Port Elgin, was shot to- day by a boy named John Niles.
Wood was trying to drive young Niles from | Mus. Peter H. TRAINOR
a farm which was in possession of his | father, George Niles, and was armed with
a revolver.’ Miles, armed with a gun, fired,

; With its forty years of unexampled suc- cess in the cure of Blood Diseases, you can make no mis- take in preferring Ayer’s
