Whatever the weariness and pain of the flesh, whatever the rack and disturbance of the whether the awful consumma- tion was arrived at by mutual pre-arrange- ment after discussing fully their terrible situation, or whether it was the result of

successive inipulses of despair and horror-—

roind,

it may be all summed up in the one phrase: an unbridled fer strong drink, Consequently, it was felt to ba idle to carve the pour bodies which were left after the spirits had departed to ‘bear those ills we know of.” What need to discover whether it was aconite or strychnine, simple alcohol which effected the dissolu- tion of soul and bedy. Enough to know suicide was

Another terrible warning has been af- forded by this tragedy. The utter useless- ness of mere law to effect a temperance re- formation has again been demonstrated. Each person must put the curb of religion and reason upon the appetite for alcoholic If this be not done, law is of little avail. The man or woman who is on the way to the drunkard’s grave is not to be greatly deterred by any law which any legislature may pass.

Still, the law has its uses—only let it be

stimulants,

enforced. In this connection we quote, as a reminder, « section of our city law regu- lating the sale of liquors:

** If any person ina state of intoxication aseaults any person or injures any property, the person wh» furnishes him with the liquor, which occasioned his intoxication, shail be jointly with the intoxicated person or sever- ally, liable to the same action by the party injured as the person intoxicated may be liable to; and the husband, wife, parent, child of twenty-one years o1 upwards, brother, sister, master, guardian or employe of any person wh» has the habit of drinking intox- icating to excess, may give notice in writing signed by him or her to any person who sells or is reported to sell liquor, not to deliver intoxicating liquor te the person hav- iug such habit, aad if the person so notified at any time within twelve months after such notice either himself or by his clerk, servant or agent delivers or suffers to be delivered any liquor to the person having such habit, he shall be guilty of an offeace under this Act.”

This law ought not to be forgotten. If the principle underlying the first part of the section were applicable to the double

be kept between the liquor dealers concerned and their God. It is written ‘** Vengence is Mine and [| will repay, saith the Lord.” The blood of Dr. Byrne and his wife is crying against those whe-—directly had part in the drunkenness which was the cause of the double who sells intoxicating liquor to a drinking man or

suicide. The man woman takes a fearful risk.

The second of the section quoted might, we think, be made more

part here

applicable than it is. A wife cursed by a drunken husband, or a parent who has the misfurtuue to possessa drink-

ing child, or « Lrother or sister having a deinking brother, or a guardian or employ- er worried by a drinking ward or servant, has,

~The Steaiman tragedy at Muncton has had its counterpart ia London, Ontario. It is hoped thet the law will ae promptly and effectually vindicate itself in the latter case as in the former. Rutlianism must not, in Canada, at least, be permitted to triumph over the officers of the law.

English Floods.

THE MOST DISASTROUS EVER KNOWN IN YORK- SHIRE,

Reports of damage by floods continue to come from many different parts of Great Britain and Ireland. The river Aire, York shire, has overflowed its banks, inundating eighteen square miles in the district of Ponte- fract. Many families were compelled by the flood on Saturday and Sunday to take refuge in the upper svories of their houses, from which they were rescued by boats. Dozens of houses were undermined by water and collapsed. Many mines in the district are tleoded and the joss of stock is very great.

At Castlefurd, Yerkshire, sewers burst under the strain of the great valume of water rusoing through them, ond streets were flood. ed and became impassable. Business is sus- spended ia all public buildings.

The floods have closed the Manchester and Shetfield railwey line near Rotherdam. The track is covered with three feet of water.

The floods in Yorkshire are the most serious that have ever occurred in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Railway tratiic is completely checked and the damage to pro perty is enormous. The bridges at Shelby on the York and Doucaster railway were all des- troyed by the floods. Thousands of acres of land are submerged in Barnsley district and many people are moving their effects from their homes.

The floocs at Leeds caused by the overtlow of the tiver Aire are subsiding.

The floods ia Derbysaire are causing a large amount of damage aod many horses and cattle have been crowned,

The Double Suicide at Crapaud.

Terrible Result of the Use of Strong Drink. ‘At the Last it Biteth Like a Ser- pent and Stingeth Like an Adder ’’

AN inquest was held at Victoria, Cra- paud, last evening, in view of the bodies of Dr. Byrne and wife, whse death at that place under peculiarly sad circum- stances was related in THe Examiner of last evening. Dr. Covey was the coroner and the jury was composed of Angus Brine (foreman) W. 8S. Howatt, Wesley Myers, Geo. Francis, James Penpraiee, Alex. Mc- Quarrie and James Johnson.

Several witnesses were ¢xamined. It appears from the evidence that Byrne and his wife had been drinking very heavily during the week. On Sunday Byrne pur- chased six ounces of aleohul and some tine ture of aconite from the druggist at Vic-

toria. The «mpty alcolo! b» tle and the aconite were suls quently f.und in tle house.

Yesterday about noon a Mrs. Farrow, who lives across the road from Byrne’s house, noticed that the blinds were down and that there were no sigus of life abvu' the place. She went over to see what was the matter, and on looking in through the window saw Mrs. Byrne lying on the bed. Some other perso:s came along about this time and smashed in the door. They saw that Ms. Byrne was dead on the bed, and in another room they found the lifeless body of her husband lying on a lounge.

There was no post mortem examination. The bedies were io be interred this after- noon.

The verdict of the jury was that “the deceased came to their death from some unknown cause, probably by an excess of alcohclic drink or other drugs.”

Wuere Dip Tary Come From? —Stephen Lewis, of Shelvin Cove, Digby County, N S., reports that Istely there have drifted ashore at that place, within a radius of about two miles, the carcases of five large vattle. Among them was the body of an enormous bull, which, being quite fresh when it came ashore, was stripped of its hide, and the meat when fried out, yielded 225 pounds of tallow. It is supposed that these are from some cast-away ship, but the tickets that were attached to them had
