OCTOBER 12, 1892

The Columbus telebration.

Curtroruex Cotumpus landed in America on the 12th October, 1492 four hundred years ago, this very date. Vol- umes have been written about the event

Everyone knows that the man who discov- ered f civilization and christianity this great continent was a man of unequalled ability, courage and perseverance. Allto- gether, the story of his career is very sad. A prolonged struggle,—success at last,— a short triumph—and then,—chains! This is the sum of the life of the man who ehanged the whole course of the world’s history. Men cf infinitely less merit, men of lower motives and aims, were preferred before him. He was robbed by a mere pre- tender of the honor of giving his name to the new land which he had discovered. Yet his name will, in spite of all, be held in high honor forever. This day is cele- brated the world over as the anniversary of the triumph of Christopher Columbus. The lesson to be drawn fromthe ultimate success of this grand maa is well set set forth in the following lines by Joaquin Miller :

“Behind him lay the great Azores, Behind the gates of Hercules :

Before him not the ghost of shores, B-fore him only shoreless seas.

The good mate said : ‘Now must we pray, For lo, the very stars are gone,

Brave Adm'rl, speak ; ‘What shall I say ?” “Why say, ‘Sail on, sail on, and on.’”

“‘My men grew mutinous day by day; My men grew ghastly wan and weak,” The stout mate thought of home; a spray Of salt wave inshed his swarthy cheek. “What shall 1 say, brave Adm’rl, say, If we wight not but seas at dawn ?” “‘Why, you shall say at break of day, **Sail on, sail on, sail on and on.’’

They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow, Until at lest the blanched mate said : “Why, now not even God would know Should | and all my men fall dead. These very winds forget their way, For God from these dread seas is gone; Now speak, beave Adm'rl, speak and say,” He said : **Sail on, sail on, and on.” They sailed. They sailed. Then spoke the mate : **This mad sea shows its teeth to-night, He curls his lip, he lies in wait, With lifted teeth, as if to bite; Brave Adm’'ri, say but one good word, What ehall we do when hope nae ? The words leapt as a leaping sword : **Sail on, sail on, sail on, and on.”

Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck, And perred throagh darkness. Ah, that night Of all dark nights. And then a speck— A light : a light : a light : o light : {t grew; a starlight flag unfurled; It grew to be time’s burst of dawn. He gained a world; he gave that world Ita greatest lesson, “On and on.” 6:06°e—"—

Fishery Bounties.

Ow1nG to mistakes in filling up olaims and other irregularities in connection with the distribution of the bounty to fishermen for the last few years, it has been decided to introduce some changes this year. Heretofore Fishery Wardens were supplied with blank forms. These were filled in by claimants before a magistrate. Now all clairas must be sworn to before inspectors specially appointed for the purpose. Notices are throughout ithe country notifying fishermen when and where to meet the inspectors. Under the new arrangements the Island has been divided districts. The eastern district will consist of King’s County and that part of Queen’s County east of the Hillsborough River. The western will consist of Queeo's County west of said river and Prince County, J: R. Me- Donald, Esq , of Georgetown, has been ap- pointed to teke the claims in the eastern district, and Artemas Lord, Esq., bas been placed in charge of the western district. Mr. Lord has already visited North Ras- connec-

A Sad Proof.

We have another sad proof of the in- utility <f a prohibitory law, which is not regarded or enforced, in the sad death of Mr. Murphy, of Montague. Here was a master builder, and an excellent citizen,who went to Georgetown, fel) among the liquor dealers,and, notwithstanding the Scott Act, lost his life as a result of excessive drink- ing. Any other man, whose besetting sin is the love of strong drink, might have met a similar fate. Surely this terrible lesson to avoid the intoxicating liquor, and to be especially careful when they go into places in which the temptation is particularly strong, will not be lost upon those who are in any way addicted tu the vice of drunken- ness. Neither ought the lesson to be lost upon liquor dealers. The man who gave Mr. Murphy the liquor which caused his death cannot possibly live henceforth with an easy conscience. In our city law, there is, if we mistake not, a clause which pro vides that the seller is responsible with the

drinker for loss or damage resulting from the use of intoxicating liqeor. How would the liquor dealer stand in such a case as that of Mr. Murphy towards the bereaved wife and sorrowing relatives of the dead man? But license or no license, Scott Act or Free Rum, it is a sin and a shame to sell liquor to a drunkard, or to anyone who is known to be likely to drink until he becomes drunken. Every liquor dealer should constantly remember this fact.

Court of Chancery.

BEFORE THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS, Tvespay, Oct. 11. John Angus McDon.ld versus Ronald

McKay and Catherine his wife, and Archibald McDunald, Trustee. This was an «ction brought by the

plaintiff, Ja creditor and adwinistrator cf Donald McKay, late of Murray Harbor Road, to set aside a deed of conveyance ot 175 acres, +xeci tel by Douald McKay in favor of Ca‘ herine the wife of the defendant, Ronald McKay. The defsndant Ronald isasonof Dwa'd McKay, and both of them were indebted to the plaintiff, and it was! .lieved that in order to def:audfhim oat of hig debt the deed complained of was executed by which all the land owned by Donald was made over to Archibald Mc- Donald as « trustee for the benefit of Ronald's wife and children. The case was heard in June Jast and occupied the attention of the court for several days when judgment was reserved.

This afternoon His Lordship the Master of the Roils delivered judgment and set aside the deed as frsudulent and void and as having been executed for the purpose of defeating the plaintiffs claim. His Lord- ship dealt very fully and at great length on the subject of fraudulent conveyances, and while fully recognizing the righ*s of persons to do as they wish with their property, yet that they must be just befvre they are generous, and pay their debts before wak- ing gifts. The ced was, therefore, set aside and ordered to be delivered up to be cancelled. The pliintitf's costs to be paid out of the estate, and the defendants to pay their own costs. W.S. Stewart for the plaintiff; H. C. McDonald for defend- ants.

Angelina M Ferguson vs. John Newson and others, Trustees &c -Th s wis an action brought by the complainant to set aside a voluntary settlement of $2500 which she made in September, 1884, upon the defen- dants for the bencfit of herself and three children. It appears that the complainant was possessed of the sum in question, be- ing the balance of $3,000 insurance upon the life of her husband, which was payable to her, and in the year 1834 she executed a settlement of the $2500, settling that amount upon the trustees upon trust to pay the interest to her for her life or mar- riage, and on her death or marriage to di- vide the principal amongst her three chil- dren. The complainant stated that she did not fully understand the nature and ef- fect of the settlement, and jprayed the Court to set it aside. After evidence was given and argument from counsel on both sides, the Master of the Rolis granted the prayer of the bill of complaint, on the ground that the settlement was not a pro- vident one, andthe effect and consequence of which she did not appear to have fully comprehended. The Master of the Rilis stated that no blame could be attached to the trustees or solicitor, who appeared to have acted fairly in the matter and with a desire to actas they thought in her best interests. The costs of all parties were ordered to be paid out of the fund and the balance handed over to the complainant.

Davies, (2. C., for complainant ; Murson for the defendants.

Re Gillis Wil —Mr. BH. C. McDonald, under the local law of 1882, asked for the opinion of the Master of the Rolls and for directions how to act under the will. His Lordship pointed out that this statute is a transcript of an English statute known as Lord Sr. Leonard’s Act, and under the English law it was not the practice for the Court to give an opinion on the construc- tion of documents, which was practically what Mr. MeDonald asked for. However he would take the matter into c -nsideration and give a written decision for future guidance.

-~We heartily congratulate the two popn- lar favorites who were at an early hour this morning sc happily and auspiciously made ove, There wss no change of name in this case, and the Rev. Mr. Brewer tied the gordian knot without a hitch. The wed- ding party was a very pretty ove, and Mr. Earle gladdened the morning air with his wedding march. It is needless to say that the bridal presents were costly and elegant, and that Captain and Mrs. Weeks have the good wishes of a host of friends. They left by the first train for an extended tour.

The Sad Drowning Accident.

An esteemed correspondent writes con- cerning the sad drowning accident at Georgetown, of which announcment wes

made yesterday by THe Examiner: **On Wednesday last, Oct. 5h, Mr. James Murphy, of Montague Bridge, went to

Georgetown to visit the exhibition, and was given a ride part ofthe way by Mr. Rielly, who parted with Mr. Murphy, after they arrived at the town. Murphy was seen by several persons during the after- noon, and was noticed to be considerably under the influence of liquor, Not much enquiry asto his whereabouts was made until last Sunday, when it became cur- rently reported that James Murphy was missing; and a woman haying fuund a_ hat on the Railway Wharf on Thursday last, it began to be feared that the poor fellow had fallen into the harbor and been irewned. (Other reports, however, con- tradicted these surmises; aud it waa said that he had been seen in Charlottetown on the evening of the bth. His father and brotl ers made anxious inquiries in every possibl; direction, but it was not. until this morning that their fears were con- firmed, when his body was found in the water near the Ra lway Wharf at George- town. No further particulars can be ascer- tained at present. James Murphy was a man about 45 years of age and was a good mechanic, having contracted for and built many large buildings, the last of which was the cheese factory at New Perth. Were it no: for the unfortunate drink habit he gave way to at times, no man would have been more prosperous. He leaves a wife and family, besides his father, brothers and sisters to meurn his untimely end. The Scott Act in King’s County does not lanchely any more than the free rum of the city; and the person who gave J«ames Murpiy the liquor that caused his death has a heavy responsibility {0 shoulder. It is to be hoped that it vill be secertained fiom whom he gt the liquor he had on him a short time before he must have failen over the wharf.” mem eee The best goods in reedymade’s are always found at the Svotch Clothing Store.—Jas.

Proposed Stallion Race at George- town for $206 and a Gold Medal.

i OF THE KING S COUNTY EXHIBITLIGN } ASSOCIATION,

MEETING

A meeting of the Managing Communities | of the above Association was held at Georgetown on Monday, the 10th inst. | Hon. D. Gordon, President of the Associa- } tion, occupied the chair. i

After routine business and the considera- tion otf some matters counected with the Association, the Secretary submitted a syn- | opsis of the accounts showing the expendi- tures, and the Treasurer an acceunt of the | receipts, in connection with the Exhibi tion held on Oct. Sth. The amonnt paid in prizes this year is about $159 over that of any former exhibition in King’s County, and the several amounts4were fairly well distributed througheut* the County, al- though New Perth, Brudenell and Mont- ague tovk the largest number of premiums The receips, owing to the unfavorable weather, were over $200 less than last year and the managers will have considerable work to bring out their acccunts without a deficit.

lt having been intimated that some of the leading stallions of the Province would be williog to enter for a race for the championship of the Maritime Provinces, if a liberal prize were offered; on motion of Archd. J. Macdonald, Eq, seccuded by D. A. McKinnon, Esq , it ~as reso'ved, that the Association will offer a ,;u.s of $200 and a handsome = gold medal for a stallion race under National | Trotting Association rules, pro-

| their intention to neminate before the 18th inst. The race to take place on Tuesday, | | the 25th inst., at the Driving Park at | | Georgetown. | Entries to be open to all horses now owned in the Maritime Provinces. As there has been considerable discussion be- tween the owners of the several stallions respecting the merits of their respective horses, this offer of the Georgetown Driving Park wil give en excellent opportuai'y | of deciding which stallion is the fastest. The | track at Georgetown, with anytbing like fair | | weather, is the fastest in ihe Proviuces, and is | said by competent judges to have the prettiest | turns for fist work of any track in Canada.
