Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this forenoon, Alfred Farmer,James Farrady and Robert Miller were each sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for larceny of

Tue result of the match race between Mr. A. N. Large’s mare Fairy and Mr. 8. Mc- Neill’s horse Sporter, which took place at Upton Park on the 25th ult., was highly dissatisfactory to all concerned except, no doubt those who were financially interested on S r’s side. The cause of the dissatis. faction was that in the second heat Sporter’s driver—Mr. Bone— intentionally fouled the Fairy from the rear, carrying off her right wheel, cutting one of her hind legs, and otherwise shaking the mare. Fairy’s driver--Mr. Wescott—-who had a narrow escape from death by the foul—made his statement regarding the matter to the Judges. It was considered; but notwith- standing the abundant proof of the inten- tional foul, two of the judges—-who, by the way, belonged to Summerside—declared the heat in favor of Sporter. The remain- ing judge—Mr. James Currie—dissented from the decision of the others, and we are pleased to see the able decision given by him on that occasion corroborated, in an exactly parallel case which occurred on one of the first tracks in America, to which we direct the attention of all concerned in the recent match, as follows:—
In the fifth heat Proteine went to the front, followed - A Midnight, and Adelaide third. They held these positions until after passing the half-mile, when Splan drove Adelaide up en the inside of Midnight, and told his driver to lay over, or he would run into him. The driver of Midnight did not pay any attention to him and Splan kept his word, and drove into him, upsetting the sulky, throwing the driver of Midnight out, and the horse ran away, following close behind the other horses. As soon as the mile was finished the horse stopped, turned around, and started back to the stand and was caught. After listening to the complaints, the judges decided it no heat, distanced Adelaide, and fined Mr. Splan $75, aud said they would keep the case open, and if all the allegations were proven, would expel Mr. Splan.—From Turf, Field and Farm, July 13.

Te deck of the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court presented a most juvenile appearance this morning. 1n it were placed six crim- inals,—five of whom were arrested for
larceny, and one for assault, with intent to c t highway robbery. Of the six, none?
exceeded eighteen years of age; while the youngest was some months over thirteen years. Still tender in years, they have fully reached maturity in criminal acquire- ments, and all have already served terms of imprisonment for larceny, drunk- ness, or sole similar offence. Miller, Farady, Brogan and Farmer ap- peared for burglarously entering the house of Mr. William C. Hobkirk, on St. Peter’s Road, on Monday morning. The evidence shows that at five o’clock, a. m., they en- tered the porch by way of the cellar hatch, and forced open the door between the porch and the kitchen, and after searching several rooms, made their exit by a basement win- dow, carrying off some wearing apparel. A truckman who ‘vas passing at the time saw them comng out through the window. After leaving the premises of Mr, Hobkirk, they went to Beer's wood, where they re- mained until arrested by the police, who disguised themselves for the purpuse. Miller, Farady and Farmer were sentenced to six months’ imprisonment with hard labor. Patrick Kavanagh appeared for assaulting William Stapleton with intent to rob. On the night of the 6th inst. Mr. / Stapleton was passing the vicinity of the West End, when he was attacked by Kavanagh, who threw him to the ground. As he lay on the ground Kavanagh crawled over him, and raising a black glass bottle over his head said, ‘‘You bloody old rascal, if you don’t give me all your money I will scatter your brains.” He had scarcely ut- tered the words when Officer McGonnell ar- rested him. He smiled on receiving the sentence of one month’s imprisonment with haid labor. The evidence being too meagre to send him to the Supreme Court. The next juvenile was Edward O’ Neill, who was remauded some time ago for stealing old brass from the forge of Alex. Russell, who was sentenced to one months’ imprisonment.

Special Despatch to Evramwmer :
Lonpon, July 29.
Fifty-four convicts of Mount St. Bernard reformatory, in Leicestershire, escaped last night, after assaulting the officers in charge, going towards Loughborough.
The police of Loughborough and a num- ber of constables were sent to meet them. Thirty-three of the fugitives were recap- tured. They were armed with bludgeons, stones and knives, and_ made a desperate resistance.
Bogardus shot a pigeon match to-day with Captain Shelly, of the Nottinghill Garrison Club, for £200, each to shoot 100 birds at 300 yards rise. Shelley retired at theeighty-ninth bird, having killed only sixty four, while Bogardus had killed seventy- seven. The latter continued shooting, and killed eighty-four out of one hundred birds. Captain Beside’ score to-day is the high- est ever made in England.
In the House of Lords to-night there was a sharp personal discussion between Earl Granville and Lord Beaconsfield relative to the latter’s attack on Gladstone. Beacons- field defended his conduct. Lord Salisbury incidentally expressed the belief that the Russians would evacuate Turkey within the allotted time.
An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American peo- ple are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses of in-|P
telligent and valuable people is most alarm- ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy a sample bottle for 19 cents te try. Three doses will re- lieve the worst case. Positively sold by all druggists on the Western Continent.

1 7 WHEREAS, it is necessary an expedient |
; to pass a By-Law for the purpose of levy- ing an Assessment on the rental of Freehold and Leasehold Property in the City of Char- lottetown, for City and School purposes, for the current year ending on the twenty sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thon- sand eight hundred and seventy nine, —
Be it therefore enacted by the City Council of the City of Charlottetown as follows :—
1. There shall be paid by the occupants or owners of Freehold or | Mawr Fes Property within the City of Charlottetown, for City and School purposes, the following sum, that is to say, the sum of Twelve Cents onevery Dollar of the rental for the current year ending on the twenty-sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred seventy- nine, aceording to the valuations entered against the names of each and every serson in the Valuation Book of Real Pepate made by the Assessors of of the City of Charlottetown, and returned by the said Assessors to the said City Council on the twelfth day of July, in the year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy-eight.

SYDNEY COAL.
20:
REDUCTION IN PRICE!
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!
HE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA-
TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been
Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs.,
a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.
The opening of the new winning at ‘*‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP takeua in conection with re cent improvements in the process of screening. affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.
It is a well-know fact that for many years
ast the prices of other Cape Breton coals have Seis regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin qualitics of SYDNEY COAL when compare with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.
The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them ban in- ferior coals purporting to be ** EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” ‘“‘SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., ete., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sraNDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.
It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances partie@givin orders to truckmen and others for SYDNE COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.
Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of her cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.
The ‘‘ Sydney Coal”’ is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY COAL”
are liable to prosecution.
