A False Allegation.

Kererrine to the slow poisoning case, the Patriot says :

“The attempt of Taz Examiner to manu- facture political capital out of this case is most sepreheusible.”—Patriol, Feb. 5.

‘**\ for sustenance of the clergyman.

j

We deny and repudiate, with indigna- |

tion, the statement contained in this sen- tence, and challenge the Patriot to prove that it is true.

The time in which ‘‘political capital” was wanted has, we imagine, passed,—the elections are over. God forbid that poli-

tical capital be made out of the sufferings vf a sick and defenceless woman who has been poisoned almost to death by the hand

or murderers.

| stating that it was

His Lordship's instructions he had visited several of the churches that during the tirst trip had been unavoidedly passed over. He stated that wherever he had been he had progress and awakening interest in church work. No doubt there was plenty of room for improvement, but he was most happy to be able to state that there was, indeed, much to be thankful for. He had just returned from opening the church at Springtield, the old church having been practicaily rebuilt and considerably enlarged, and he felt sure that there was not a prettier little country church in the Maritime Provinces than that now possess- ed by our fellow-churchmen at Springfield. He also referred to the rectory lately built upon the church lot at Charlottetown, the admiration of all who saw it, and he hoped that before long a church built of the same materials would replace the present old structure. He then called upon the Secretary to read the reports. REPORT.

With reference to the condition of the Church of England in this Province, your committee realize that while there is much to be thankful for, there remains also much to be desired.

Last year the S. P. G. withdrew a considerab! portion of its grant to this province, and this year the Colonial and Continentai has also made a_ reduc- tion. Your committee cannot but recognize that such action on the part of the Home So- eieties is justitied, but we should not forget that the withdrawal of aid entails a severe loss upon the clergymen interested. [heir parishioners are unable to make good the deticiency, and, as a consequence, their stipends—already much too small—are mater- ially reduced.

We contribute considerable amounts to mis- sions, both fureign and domestic, whilst at the same time we fail to recognize our responsi- bilities in the matter of home missions, which eertainly have the first claim upon us. What is required is that the needs of individual con- gregations be brought fairly before the united hody. The D. C. 8. offers just such ganization as is required for this purpose, and it rests with churchmen on the Isjand whether it is to be made available or not.

Last summer the Rev. J. M. Forbes as- suined charge of the parish of Alberton, vacated by the.Rev. C. E. McKenzie, so that we have now no vacancies. Inall the parishee services have been regularly conducted through- out the year.

Since we last met, death has again been very busy io our midst, and we have to re- cord the loss of one of our vice-presidents, the iate Chief Justice Palmer, who passed away full of years and of honor. Also that of the late Thomas McKinlay, for many years a member of our executive committee,

The following is a short synopsis of the reports of the clergymen in the various

parishes : ALBERTON. The Rev. J. M. Forbes, Deacon in

charge, reports that he has been minister-

ing in this parish during the past six months. The new churches of ‘‘the Jubilee” at O'Leary and Holy Trinity, at

Alma, are we!l vigh completed, and about

| $150 have been raised towards the improve-

ment of St. Peter's at Alberton. An as- sistant clergyman is *needed in this large parish. Mr. Forbes acknowledges the help that he has received from the laity, par- ticularly Mr. James Webb, Mrs. W. B. Dyer and Mr. Charles Traverse, superin- tendents of the Sunday Schools at O'Leary, Alberton and Kildare respectively ; and says that there is a marked improvement in the singing in all the churches, especially in Alberton, where Mrs. W. B. Dyer is organist and leader of the choir. Mr. Forbes also conveys his thanks to Miss Min.jie Leard for continued assistance in presiding at the organ in Christ’s Church, Kildare. PORT HILL,

The Rev. Henry Harper reports that the people here are ever ready to do what they can for the advancement of the parish in matters both spiritual and temporal. The graveyard at Port Hill has been put in order. About $700 have been obtained to be expended upon the erection of a church at Ellerslie, and it is hoped that the out- side of this church will be completed next summer. At Lot 1] several improvements have been made to the church and its sur- reundings. Services have been held re- gularly.

NEW LONDON. Rev. T. B. Reagh reports a large reduc-

39 | tion in the grant for the Colonial and Con- 0 | tinental Church Society, and points to the

necessity for larger collections in the parish He ac- knowledged the great kindness and thought- fulness of many of his parishioners.

GEORGETOWN. Rev. Fred. E. J. Lioyd says that the

work of this parish has been carried on during the year with as much success as possible. ‘The Rector’s stipend has been promptly paid, and he acknowledges many kindnesses to himself and his family. The Sunday-schvool is, he states, carefully super- intended by Mr. James Easton, Lay Reader. Mr. Lloyd expresses the hope that George- town and Cherry Valley may have the services of a resident clergyman.

tev. W. H. Sampson notices with plea- |

Milton Sunday-school continues to increase in numbers and influence, and the attend- ance to be most regular and punctygl. Miss Holroyd’s services as teacher in the Sunday-school] and organist in the church are suitably acknowledged. The parish church at Milton has been thoroughly re- novated, and the graveyard has been clean- ed and refenced. A _ shed has also been erected for the accommodation of hérses on Sundays. ST. PETER’S, CHARLOTTETOWN.

Rev. James Simpson reports steady pro- gress in all branches of work, with regular services and increasing congregations. The Hodgson Memorial Chapel has been used since November, though not yet finished, and has been found a great convenience it every way. The fabric of the Church has been repaired at a cost of about $450, a new vestry has been built, and the class rooms in the school altered to make more room,

ST. PAUL'S, CHARLOTTETOWN.

The Archdeacon refers to the new rectory as ‘‘most commodious and comfortable, and peculiarly well fitted for the special purpose for which it was designed ’—**‘ the handsomest and most suitable rec- tory in the diocese’—but expresses his regret that further steps have not been taken towards the erection of a new church. He thanks the boys and others of St. Paul's choir for their interest and regular- ity at both practices and services, and men- tions particularly the indefatigable labors of the lady members of the various organ-

izations for the relief of the poor and for |

other church purposes. @Afier the reports had been adopted, Charles Palmer, Esq., in moving a resolu- tion of thanks to the Parent Societies, the S. P.G., 8. P. C. K., and C., and OC. C.S. gave a short history of their orgin and sphere of operations. oa ee particularly upon working of those Societies in their relations to this Proviace. After a vote of thanks to the lady col- lectors had been passed and the appoint- ment of the Executive for the ensuing year had been confirmed, the Hon. Justice Hensley, seconded by Hon. F. de St. C. Brecken, proposed the following resolu- tion :—

”

| the

That the members of this Society deeply re- gret the death, since our last last meeting, of the Honorable the late Chief Justice Palmer, for many years a Vice-President of this So- ciety, and desire to express their appreciation of the earnest Christian character of the ce- ceased gentleman, and also to tender their sincere sympathy to the members of his family.

Judge Hensley dwelt in most touching terms upon the many admirable qualities of the late Chief Justice, and also referred to the losses we had sustained by the deaths of so many of our members during the past year, referring particularly to those of Thomas Mackinlay, Esq., for many years a member of our Executive, of Mrs. E. J. Hodgson, Mrs. Henry MHaszard, Mrs. Benjamin Davies, Mrs. Holl, Miss Maria Longworth and others.

Mr. Brecken also supported the resolu- tion in a very feeling speech. The meeting then closed with a hymn and the benedic- tion.

A Sad Tragedy at Washington. SECRETARY TRACY'S HOME DESTROYED—HIS

WIFE AND DAUGHTER LOSE THEIR LIVES— MR, TRACY ALSO DIES FROM HIS INJURIES

A Washington despatch of the 3rd inst., says: The house of Secretary. Tracy caught fire at 6. 45 this morning and was complete- ly destroyed. The house was three stories, with brick basement, and had recently undergone repairs. Some persons passing about seven in the morning saw smoke issuing from the front windows and at once raised the alarm of fire. Soon it was dis- covered that the house was all ablaze inside and that the main stairway was burned, thus cutting off comn.unication with the sleeping apartments on the second and | third floors. A scene of the wildest excite- ment ensued when it was known that all the members of the family were in the house. The firemen behaved like herves in the emergency and went through fire and smoke in searching for them in the

different apartments. Mrs. Wilmerd- ing, the Secretary's daughter, and Miss Wilmerding forced their way

through the blinding smoke and jumped from a second story window in the front. Ladders were raised for them, but in the excitement they failed to see them. Mra. Wilmerding broke her left wrist and was

He was followed by | Newbery, Esq., who dwelt more ;

severely bruised. Her daughter was badiy injured about the lower limbs, but broke no | bones. Both suffered severely from the shock. They were taken at once to a resi- dence near by. While this scene was being | enacted in front of the house, the firemen were engaged in removing other members of the family fromthe rear. Chief Engin- eer Parish forced his way into Mrs, Tracey’s bedroom, and found her lying on the bed, overcome by suff cation, He carried her almost lifeless body to a neighboring house, where she _ died within a few minutes after her rescue. She was not burned at all. Almost at the same time two more bodies were taken from the burning building. One was that of the Secretary’s daughter, Miss Marie, a young lady about fourteen years of age, and the other one of the servants. Both bodies were burned to a crisp and were un- | recognizable by their features. Miss | Tracy’s body was distinguished from the | other only by the superior texture of what | remained of her stockings. The charred | remains were taken to an undertaker’s es- tablishment, where they were jvined soon after by the remains of Mrs. Tracy, Sec- retary Tracy himself was overcome in his sleep by the smoke which filled the house } and rendered him completely helpless. He was discovered in this condition and with considerable difficulty removed to a place. near one of the wisdows, whence he was

Stopping the Slave Trade.

MEASURES TAKEN BY THE CONGO STATE TO PUT A STOP TO THE INTERNAL TRAFFIC. A Brussels despatch says that a long re-

port has been received from Captain Van

Gele, who has just established two stations

of the Congo State far up the Mobangi af-

fiuent of the Congo. The station nearest

‘the great river is about 500 miles distant

from it. The slave trade is particularly lively along the Mobangi, and Captam Van Yele is following out the policy which the Congo State is now pursuing at all its sta- tions of putting a stop to the traflic.

Some of the Mondongo tribe who at- tempted to pass one of Van _ Gele’s stations witha big canoe full of slaves which they intended to seli further down the river, were stopped, and the slaves were taken from them and set at liberty. Five canoe loads of slaves were also brought up-the river, the poor crea- tures having been bought with ivory. Van Gele gave chase and captured two of the piroques, but the others escaped. He gave the » cand their freedom, and a while after released the boats, threatening their own- ers wiih dire penalties if they were again caught with slaves in their possession.

The Congo State is constantly increasing its facilities for suppressing the numerous trafic. A large proportion of the slaves are bought or captured for purpose of eating or for human sacrifices, and the stand the state has taken bids fair in time to prevent an enormous amount of suffer- ing and waste of life.

Advantage to Russia.

Late advices from St. Petersburg are to the effect that the Norw Vreima advises a yeveral continental policy, the purpose of which shall be to impose every possibie impediment to the extension of British dominion in Africa, aud to favor the ad- vance there of the German schemes of col- onization. It frankly presents the subject from the point of view of its double advan- tage to Russia—first, as Germany would become a counterpvise to British power in the eastern world; and next, as German im- migration to Africa would open an easy outlet for the superfluous population that now swarins into she western Russian pro- vinces, and “is regarded as a very undesir- able addition to the population, and a detri- ment and danger to Russia.

M. Gelissijetf, the Asiatic traveller, writes tu the Nova Vreima regarding the increas- ing aggressiveness of the Chinese authorit-

ies on the northern frontier toward all | Russian projects and operations on the

Amoor river. This subject was discussed in a council held there by the Czar on Tues- day. China’s military position was con- sidered by the council, which counted the Chinese army at 1,200,000 men. The Chinese Government has given, however, its assent to the construction of the line of railway from Kirin, in Manchuria, on the Sungari River, a tributary of the Amoor, to Pekin. ‘This line was planned for in
