THE DAILY EXAMINER.

MARCH 14, 1890.

This Year’s Exhibition.

We are glad to see that the Directors of the Exhibition Grounds and Driving Park are moving early for next fall’s exhibition. With one of the most beautiful sites in the Maritime Provinces, and with exhibition buildings and a trotting track superior to anything in the provinces, their enterprise ought to suceeed. We have been favored with a sight of the plans of the buildings proposed to be erected. They will afford ample accommodation, in our opinion, for all exhibitors,—indeed, the directors have evidently calculated for an exhibition such as has never before been held in this prov- ince. This is right, and we believe that the results will justify the large expenditure incurred by them, and that exhibitors will respond to such efforts.

Owners of ,valuable exhibits will have safe and ample room for proper exhibition. For the first time in the history of this province there will be an opportunity given for the worthy exhibition of the wealth and resources of Prince Edward Island.

We need hardly say that every citizen is interested in the success of this under- taking. That the Island’s great annual fair should be held in the Capital is very material to. them, and no effort should be

spared to keep it here. The large amount of money spent in buildings must necessarily limit the re-

sources of the. Company in giving prizes, But even here the Company, trusting to the success of their undertaking, give the sum of $2,000, which, with the additional $1,000 guaranteed by the Provincial Gov- ernment, will make $3,000 in all. This, though double any former prize list, is not enough adequately to remunerate exhibjt- ors, especially farmers, for the trouble, risk and expense of exhibiting valuable stock. We should like to have seen a $5,000 prize list. By no means a large one com- paring it with Toronto’s $25,024, London’s $25,000, Peoria, Ill., $25,000, and the $10,000 prize lists of towns and cities in these Provinces. It should, in our opinion, however, not be less than a $4,000 one. The balance to secure such a prize list can surely be obtained in the city, as well by an appropriation from the Council, as by pri- vate subscriptions. : Our citizens have never been found want- ing to assist and encourage every public enterprise in the Province, even where they are not directly interested. Here they are so largely interested that. we be- lieve the directors have only to ask and

receive without stint or grudgingly. + 0

4& Move in the Right Direction.

Iv is very pleasing to hear that Messrs. Mark Wright & Company, of this city, haveadded machinery and improvements to their factory which enable them to compete with the wholesale manufacturers of the West, and to supply the wholesale trade of this province. We hope that they will be patronized by all our local dealers in fur- niture—at least all who do not manufac- ture for themselves—and that they will be enabled to compete successfully for a share of the trade of the neighboring provinces. The more men and the more money kept employed here, the better for the town and the province and all who are imme- diately concerned. We congratulate Messrs. Mark Wright & Company on the enterprise they have displayed. It would be well if other manufacturers, on other lines of trade, would participate to a larger extent than they do in the advantages inci- dent to the National Policy.

— Instead of going to the Probate Office to search the will in support of his’ state- ment that the late Mr. Daniel Hodgson had ‘* bequeathed a sum of money to Laval University,” and his insinuation that the University had, as a consequence therefar, conferred the honorary degree of L.. L. D. upon Mr. EH. J. Hodgson, the editor of the Guardian has been looking over the files of Tue Examiner and has discovered that, away back in 1884, an ‘‘ advertisement was inserted concerning an examination for the Daniel Hodgson Scholarship for Laval University.” Is the giving of $125 a year to a boy to enable him to pay his board while at College, the bequeathing of a sum of money to the College? Everyone who is not absolutely blind with prejudice will say no. The fact is that the heirs of the late Daniel Hodgson established, out of the beques', a scholarship to enable young men to attend the Universities of King’s, McGill and Laval, that 1884 was the year in which the scholarship was open for one who wished to go to Laval; and that a young man named McGrath won the scholarship and, aided by it, has been enabled to distinguish himself at the Uni- versity; and to reflect credit upon his parents and the Province. The idea that Laval was actuated by this circumstance to confer an honor upon Mr. E. J. Hodgson, is as ridiculous as the Guardian’s statement is false, and its insinuation mean. It is surprising that a religious weekly would knowingly strive and continue to strive to convey a false impression to its readers. In other words it is surprising that the Guardian would tell a small, little, mean contemptible lie—and stick to it. ?

Lalp ON THE TaBLE.—At the last meeting of the Summerside Town Council, a delegation from the Prince County’ Temperance League presented a petition signed by 270 ratepayers, asking the corporation to see that the Scoti Act is enforced and that the prosecutor did his duty without fear, favor or affection. Lhis petition was accompanied hy another signed by 609 ladies, asking that the rate-

THE SLOW POISONING CASE,|

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION

ee

Before the Stipendiary Magistrate.

Sudden Disappearance of a Material Witness.

Elizabeth Stewart Missing.

IS SHE LOST IN THE FOG?

Or Has She Been Spirited Away ?

A SEARCH INSTITUTED.

The Investigation Again Adjourned.

A LARGE crowd occupied the Courtroom half an hour before the time appointed for the renewal of the investigation; and. a good deal of disgust was felt and expressed while the trial of a case for over-beating a boy in Queen Square School dragged its slow length along. The impatience of the spectators was increased when compelled to listen to the halting evidence of equivo- cating witnesses in two Scott Act cases. The counsel were present, apparently eager to renew their efforts, and the prisoner was in one of the rooms down stairs. It is safe to say that if the spectators had but known that the ‘‘important witness” had *‘‘ skip- ped,” after having® been brought to town and would not appear, there'would not now be so many persons to complain that they had ‘lost the whole forenoon.”

Tt will be remembered that Mr. Malcolm Mcleod, Q. C., asked for an adjourn- ment of the investigation until Wednes- day on the plea that information concerning additional evidence to be obtained had reached the Crown counsel and that a subpoena had to be served in the country. On Wednesday he was com- pelled to report that the witness had not appeared on the subpoena, and that a war- rant had been issued for her. arrest. On this ground he asked for further adjourn-

ment of the case until this forenoon; and f

his request was granted.

It appears that Police Sergeant Bradley was dispatched to the place of abode of the recalcitrant witness,somewhere in Sturgeon, and that he brought her and her sister to Charlottetown: Their family uame is Stewart—the girl’s name is Elizabeth Stewart—and the home of the family is on Peters Road. They had an interview with Mr. Malcolm McLeod,and desired that Elizabeth Stewart should not be kept in close custody like a criminal, promising that she would appear and give evi- dence this forenoon. Mr. Mcleod, was kind enough to grant the request, and they went to call upon an old acquaintance from the same part of the country—Richard Curran by name, formerly in the employ of one of the Messrs. Peters. Curran says that when he returned home last evening,

he found Mrs. Stewart and her daughters at his house, that he was very glad to see them, and sug-

gested that they should stay all night; that they said they had to go to see Mrs. Michael Doyle, and that he offered to ac- company them; that they went to Doyle’s and stayed there some time; that Mrs. Stewart decided to stay with the Doyle’s all night; that he, with the two girls, started to return~to his house between nine and ten o'clock in the evening; that when nearly opposite Robins’ livery stable he

stopped for a moment to speak toa friend.

whom he met; that the girls wenton,—and that he has not seen either of them since.

Whether or not they are merely !ost in the fog, or whether or not some harm has befallen them in the dark and devious ways of the town; or whether or not they were, in some miraculous way, spirited out of} the vicinity of Robins’ livery stable, is yet unknown. Certain it is, that the witness was not forthcomiog this forenoon.

Officers of the law were sent out in search of the lost witness and telegrams were dis- patched in various directions—witout result up to the hour at which THe HxaMINER was sent to press.

When the court met at 2.30 o’clock this afternoon, Mr. Malcolm McLeod reported that Elizaseth Stewart and her sister had brought into town from Sturgeon, that been she had made a statement to him of the evidence which she had to give, and that he had permitted her to be released from custody on the assurance of her mother— who seemed to be a very respectable woman —and herself and sister that she would be present in coart to-day. Mr. McLeod said that her evidence was, in his judgment, very material to the case, and he asked that the prisoner be remanded and the in- vestigation adjourned for as long a time as possible, in order that she might be found and placed upon the stand.

Mr. Peters said that he had had an ink- ling of what it was supposed that the wit- ness would prove, and that he wished it tc be known and distinctly understood that if she had been kept away from the court, it was not at the instance of either himself or his cllent He was quite pre- pared to meet the witness; and anyone who attempted to keep the witness away is no friend of the prisonor’s. He desired that this should be understood by the court and by the country.

Mr. Hodgson, Q. ©., supported the motion of Mr. McLeod.

Mr, Peters suggested that as the witness might appear in the course of a day or two, it was not necessary to have a long adjourn- ment. The Court might adjourn for a few days, and then, if the witness were not forthcoming, it might again be adjourned.

To this the counsel for the Crown as- sented.

The Magistrate said that as the counsel for the Crown had assured him the missing girl was a material witness in the case, he

would adjourn the investigation—he would, if necessary, adjourn ad infinitum.

The iavestigation was then adjourned until Tucsday noxd, at LL v’clock,
