TO THG FRONT AGALN, Hiow the Deed Was Done

A YOUNG WOMAN'S QUEER STORY,

Tue Yeo mystery isonce more the sub- ject of considerable talk about t wh. The present excitement is occasioned by the Grand Jury having taken the matter in hand, and, after examining several persons alleged to know something about the affair, recommending that the authorities hold strict into the case. Many stories are is to the evidence upon

investigation

ifl vat

which the Grand Jury bused their recom- mendation. Some of these stories are true and some are not. We have taken con- siderable trouble to get at the bottom of them, and below will be found what, so far as we can learn, is a correct suamary of the evidence heird, and

which,, Wwe understand, was not given on

MISS TUCKER'S REMARKABLE VISION.

[he prinapal witness was a Miss Tucker, & Young Woulsn at present employed as a domestic in the heuse of a weil-known resideat of Fitzroy Sireet. Her story was & gngviar one >be said that im April last she was Copplig at the R ick in House, Kent Sires , and that one day while m the hal! she »verhea i is genth man Who came

SHE SAW & MAN WALKING UP AND DOWN

in front of a certain house. The man appeared to be in a melancholy frame of

mind. (The description she gave of his height, clothing, and particularly his

moustache, corresponded with that of the missing man, at least so his brothers thought.) He wore a watch and chain with gold piece attached, and hada ring on his finger. Ina few moments another man came out through the archway or gateway of the house in front of which the melan- choly-looking individual was walking. This man was a small sized individual dressed in blue serge, and had a black eye. He leaned against the house and spoke to the man who was walking. The conversation was abcut a horse. The man in the blue serge asked the other man to accompany him to the stable and see the horse. The two went into the yard ex route tothe stable. (The witness here described the {yard,fand the location of the stable, as well as a kitchen or porch attached to the house.) In the yard THEY WERE JOINED BY TWO OTHER MEN

who came out of the back porch or kitchen. One of the men was a short, thick-set individual ; and the other was also short and thick-set but had bushy whiskers and

freckled face. The four went into the stable. In the stable there were two horses, one a brown prancing one. The

bushy-whiskered individual wentagjmto the stable a little further than the s and stood there. While in this positiontwo of his companions walked past him, tapping him onthe shoulder. The third man, he of the melancholy appearance who was pacing up and down the sidewalk, was the next to attempt to pass. His overcoat was open, and as he was in the act of walking past the bushy-whiskered man that individual

PULLED OUT A KNIFE AND STABBED HIM TO THE HEABT.

The stabbed man fell to the floor, and, after a few groans, es pired. One of the men then searched the aead man’s pockets, taking out a long pocket-book, and two smaller ones. fhe notes were laid lengthwise in the long pocket-book. After removing the money from the wallets, they Were resurnel to the pockets from which they were taken. ‘The watch or ring were not touched. The next move was to pick up the body and throw it into a box an- swering the description of an oat bin. (The Witness, we understand, described the whole proceedings very minutely, even giving the number of rivets in the handle of the knife with which, according to the vision, the deed was done.) At this stage the scene changed, her spirit being taken back to January, the date of the disappear- ance of Yeo. There was snow and ice on the etreets, aud the weather wascold. She saw the man with the blue serge suit and the black eye come out of the yard driving the brown prancing horse, which was at- tached tw a low sleigh, in which was the bin containing

TIE REMAINS OF THE MURDERED MAN.

This bin was covered with ast riped rug. (She described the horse driver, sleigh and rug minutely.) This man with the blue serge suit, the black eye and the brown prancing horse, drove up Great George Street and down Grafton Street across the railway crossing and out ou the Hillsborough ice. He was met on the ice by the two men who were with him when the deed was committed, and all boarded the sleigh and drove off. They went some distance, and turning into a sort of cove — s The im ‘the’ le ted threw in the body. After thus disposing of their victim all returned to the city, the man with the blue serge and lack eye and brown praucing horse driving and the others walking. This was the end of her vision, Fora time afterwards she felt uneasy. At length she informed the police? authorities of her vision but they, of course, took little or no stock therein. Mrs. Godfrey, a sistertin-law, of the miss- ing Man, was the next to hear of the vision. She told the Yeo’s and they, after delibera- tion, sent for Miss Tucker and she had to ropeat the stay to them. The ¥kb’s

Mr. Geo. R. MeCoubrey said that he last | saw Yeo onthe New Year's Day previous | to his disappearance. Yeo had come up to him on the street and spoke to him. He did not know Yeo until he had told who he was. After some talk with him he invited him up to the house in order that they might talk over the Northwest. The next evening (Sunday) Yeo was at the Sal- vation Army meeting.

BLOOD ON HIS CLOTHES,

Mrs. Atkins, who lives on Pownal Street, stated that some time earlyin January, 1887, her husband told her that he was going to the country after a cow for a botcher named Thorne, and that later on in the same night, after she had gone to bed, he returned home and told her that he had not gone to the coun- try atall. There was blood on his clothes | which she washed off. Some time after wards she accused him of knowing some- thing abcut the murder of Yeo. He made uo 1 eply but went outside. Her little daughter came in afew minutes afterwards and asked what she had said to her father, as he was outside crying. Atkins, who 1s, it is said, not now living with his wife, was a butcher's help, and «this fact may ac- count for the blood on his clothing.

THE OTHER PERSONS EXAMINED

were Police Sergt. Cameron, ex-Marshal Flynn, John Burke, and two brothers of he missing man. The evidence of the two rmer consisted of a relation of their efforts to discover the whereabouts of the missing man ; and the Yeo’s gave a history f his movements up to the time of his dis- sppearance. Burke's testimony was a re- petition of some conversation he had had in # tavern

Light —

We the undersigned passengers of the Northern Light feel ourselves under an obli- gation to you and your staff of officers and erew for your energetic efforts put forth to land us in the tace of very great difficulties in the obstructed state of navigation at our des- tination in Pictou. We also have appreciated greatly the many kindnesses, apart from duty, that have been shown towards us during the protracted trip of three days. Weare satis- fied that nothing more could have been done to faciliate our progress and comfort, and hope, if we are ever foundin the icy straits again, to be under your admirable govern- ment.

Our Book Table. _

The Century for January is at hand, and contains the usual amount of good things. The Catacombs of Rome, an admirably written and illustrated article form the open- ing chapters. The continuation of George, Calle’s charming story, the (ray- sons," by Edward Eggleston, and the Dusantes, from the pen of Frank Stockton, are of more tham ordinary interest to all lovers of good fiction. While for older heads Russian Prisons and War Notes will while away a pleasant hour. The Century poetry isex¢ellent, and the poems contained in this number are quite up to the Century standard.

The American Mayazine for January j worth perusal. The opening artic Breton being unusually ent written in that crisp, breezy § the author is noted. Boston ar Studios will give the reader aha heights that cultured Bostonians hawe arrived at. The poetry may be considered fairly good. Taken asa whole, the January num- ber sustains the former prestige of the A meri- can Magazine.

Who Stole the Beef ?

FRIDAY EVENING last a butcher from Strathalbyn sold a quarter of beef toa gentleman residing on Rochford Street. The butcher drove down to the purchaser's residence with the meat. On arriving there he was asked tu remain to tea, and decided to accept the invitation. After a fov moment’s conversation inside he thought of the horse he had left standing in the yard, and thinking he might be cold, sent a boy to ‘“‘rug” him. On the boy’s going out he was surprised to notice that another quarter of beef which they had left in the sleigh had mysteriously dis-

appeared. He at once informed the butcher of his loss, and a search was instituted, but not a trace of the missing

beef could be found. The butcher thought the best thing he could do was to inform the police of his loss, and get them to exercise their detective ability in the matter. He forthwith drove to the station and Sergeant Cameron and Officer Bradley accompanied him to the scene of the theft. They searched the yard ‘and also the neighboring premises but not a trace of the stolen property could they obtain. At length Officer Bradley climbed upon what he supposed was a pile of snow, for the purpose of looking over a fence into the adjoining yard. He could not see the meat in the yard into which he was peering ; but on descending from his elevated position, was not a little surprised to find thathehad been standing on the very uarter of beef for Wich he was looking ! © beef had evidently been removed from the sleigh and placed near the fence in order to be carried off by the thief later in the night when there would be no one about. The countryman was loud in his praises of the policemen for obtaining the missing beef, and went home rejoicing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR “God Save the Queen,”

Sir,—In your issue of the 30th ult., you publish a Preach version of our National Anthem. | thin it would be more correct to say that our ‘* God Save the Queen ” is but an English version of what formerly was a national hymn of the French people. The air was composed by Lulli in honor of Louis Matorze, upon the occasion of his visit to the Convent of St. Cyr, in company of Madame de Maintenon. The verses written by Madame Brinon were after- wards translated into English, and words and music became by a singular transposi+ tion the national hymn of the English peo- ple. As originally sung it ran ;—

Graad Dieu! Sauvez le Roi! Grand Dieu! Sauvez le Roi! Sauvez le Roi!

Que toujours glorie ax

Louis Victorieux

Voie ses ennemis

Toujgours soumis,

Unhappily for themselves, the people of old France, as a people, have relinquished all claim to this moble anthem, which has long ceased to evoke in them those senti- ments of loyalty and devotion with which it inspires us,

Yours truly, &, #

Ottawa, Jan. 5, 1888.

P. S.—In the country parts of the Pro- vince of Quebee I have frequently heard a hynum to the Blessed Virgin sung to the air of ‘*God Save the Queen.”

The City Reports.

Str, — There is an effort made by your correspondent ‘* Merchant,” to try aad make the financial statement in the Mayor's report to be incorrect ; but ‘* Merchant ” is far off the mark. He admits there isin the trausactions for the year 1887 a sur-

plus of $4,485, but no such gain as claimed by the city. *‘* Merchant” must be a dealer in the ardent liquid. When

he sells it on credit he never expects to get paid forit, as he has no way of collect- ing his claim, otherwise ** Merchant ” surely does not mean what he says, when he states the city has no right to take eredit for uncollected taxes as an asset. I would ask ‘*Merchant” does he take credit for book debts, or current accounts when he takes stock and strikes a balance sheet, or does he (as he claims the city ought to do) count them as worthless, although they may be all good and collectable, as he admits the taxes may be ?

‘**Merchant” complains of the city taking credit of $7,000 smallpox and $1,650 Scott Act fines. Why should they? Sup- pose ‘* Merchant’ had a contract with the Water Commissioners in supplying them with hardware, etc., by which he made some $10,000 more than in an ordinary year,he would have a perfect right to claim the business done that year, and the profits arising therefrom. Just so with the City Fathers by their energy and faithfulness to

Government for smallpox and the ‘$1,650 from-Seott Act fines, and have as good a

the city they procured the $7,000 from Y.

right to the benefit of $8,650 as ‘** Mer-’ chant” has to $10,000—a business transaction. But ‘‘ Merchant” stretches

this time when he states the city had in order to make their surplus and gain take credit for taxes of previous years. Just lovk at the first statement in the Mayor's report, Mr. ** Merchant,” and you will find there is not ‘one dollar of revenue from other years included in this statement. Now, supposing to please ‘‘ Merchant,” we will consider the financial condition of the city according to his line of argument. That the $7,000 and $1,650 should not be included and the uncollectable taxes not counted as an assett. ‘*Merchant” must admit on the same ground the city has no right to charge itself with the smallpox liability $3,000 nor unforseen payments $1,170, nor unpaid accounts of 1887 $1,051 (which may never be presented for pay- ment) and where dves he plaee the city financially? I think in a very good position

after all. We will see :— Revenue $47,715.51 Less,-—

$7,000 8,650.00 $39,065.51 1,650 Ordinary payments, $29,960.31 Less,- — Unpaid Acct’s 1,051 Unforseen 1,170 2,221.00 Add,— ; Schools 9,600.00 37,339.31 $1,726.20

Instead of the debt of $1,000 (on his own line of argument) there is a surplus of $1,726.20. The accounts are satisfactory and piainly show the financial position of the city to be good without a doubt.

It would be well for ‘* Merchant”. to attend the Y. M. ©. A. night school and get brightened up, otherwise he will find himself adrift when he attempts to make his financial statement relating to his own business.

Nieur Scxoor. The Subway.

Str,--A scheme of such vast importance to the Island as the subway should be at this season of the Zon the burning subject among our people. would like to see the Board of Trade discuss this question and in this way add interest to their meetings and bring the subject promptly forward.
