Presentation of an Address of Congrat- ulation to the New Lieut.-Gov- ernor of P. E. Island—Hon. Mr. Howlan's Reply.

(From the Ottawa Citizen, Feb. 24, 1894.)

Hon. G. W. Howlan, who will to-day be sworn in as Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island, was treated to a genuine surprise yesterday afternoon. He | was summoned to one of the parlors of | the Russel to receive, as he supposed, the felicitations of some of his numerous friends upon his appointment. The friends were there and the gongratulations were | forthcoming, but in more formal and _tan- |

| |

gible fashion than Mr. Howlan was pre- pared for. A circle was made about the | new Lieutenant-Governor, composed of | hereafter. Then Mr. M. J. Gorman stepped forward a little witha scroll in his hand and ex-Ald. | Heney stepped back a bit, concealing _be- |

SUBSEQUENT CELEBRATION

The formalities of the presentation and reception over, refreshments were ordered | in. Then the glasses were charged and | Mr. Jas Johnson proposed the health of | the new Lieutenant-Governor in a little speech, in the course of which he re- | viewed the eminent Islander’s public car- | eer and paid a pretty tribute to his bril- liant social qualities.

His Honor made a characteristically | happy reply, acknowledging the hospi- | good people of Otiawa among whom he has lived so long and so pleasantly, “Our home is so far from the Dominion capital,” added Mr. Howlan, “that Mrs. Howlan and I | have been unable to return these hospital- | ities as we would wish. But it has been my practice and privilege these many summers regularly to watch the arrival of the St. Lawrence steamer, enquire if there | were any Ottawa people on board, and if | fortunate enough to find one, make him or | her my guest while the steamer remained in port, regardless of course, of whether | or not we had heen previously acquaint- | ed.”

Governor-General Hesitates to Release Prisoners.

HE WANTS ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE,

Orrawa, March 1.

General surprise was expressed here yesterday when it was learned that the Governor-General had not signed the mint ute of council recommending the release of McGreevy and Connolly. It is cur- rently reported that His Excellency is de- sirous of obtaining further medical tes- timony as to the ill health of both the prisoners, although Dr. Church’s certifi- cate was a very strong one, to the effect that McGreevy is suffering from kidney disease and Connolly from an affection of the ear, while both are affected with in- somnia.

Two of the jury are negroes, The state established the fact ofa fight by previous appointment, forbidden by Florida law; but did not fare so well when an attempt was made to es- tablish malice. The witnesses all testified that Corbett seemed good-natured during the three rounds, save one time when he fonled Mitchell. The trial will be resum- ed to-day.

IILIZIIZIN The Seed Business,

To those not acquainted with us, the following facts may prove interesting :—We have carried on i a Seed Business in this city for fourteen years. We have always tried to merit success, have kept the best Seeds procurable, sold at moderate prices, and treated our customers as well as possible. Our business has increased year by year, and the largest increase of all was in 1893. For many years we have had the largest Seed Business in P. E. Island. fe We have now the largest busi- KO ness of the kind in the Maritime Provinces. Nothing but genuine merit in the Seeds we sell could have brought about these results.

FOLLOW THE CROWD!

_ This is a wise rule when buy- ing seeds. People don’t rush to buy poor seeds, but they do crowd to Carter's Seed Store every sea- RD son, because they know the value of the seeds. This is not “blow” but simple fact. Poor seeds tell aS their own story when they grow, sv do good ones. Buy those that have told a good story for years past. They are CARTER’.
