JOSEPH HIGGINS IS SENT UP FOR TRIAL—AN- OTHER LITTLE BURGLARY AT CARDIGAN WITH THE COMMISSION OF WHICH HE Is CREDITED.

Jenkins and the dwel!l- Mrs. Griffin, was arraigued Stewart, Esq., J P., on Saturday Several witnesses were examined, evidence corroborated what has already appeared in Tue Ex AMINER After this evidence was heard Higgins was asked if he had anything to say in his own behalf.

at the unanimous desire

struction of the Government last, have continued in charge of partment, except of his party.

In connection with the Empire's remarks it may be observed that the Land Office matters and Mr. Ferguson's election have lately been reviewed in the Victoria Colon- ist, a paper under the editorial charge of Mr. Henry Lawson, late editor of the

Patriot. ‘no a pvsition in which he can

speak impartially of public men and questions here, the edior of the

Colonist says that Mr. Ferguscn “‘is one of the ablest men in the Maritime Provinces.” The Colonist’s remarks were penned under the impression that M:. Ferguson was de- feated ; and, while taking the ground that the head of a department may justly be held biameable for the ** iniquity of his of-

ficials,”’ he adds :

‘““Asno greater reproach attaches to Mr. | g P

Donald Ferguson in this unfortunate bitsiness

, , ; : > isk ? - than want of watchfulness. it is not likely that

St James’ Concert.

A LARGE audience was anticipated, for the programme was a good one, and it was advertised that Protessor Exsrle would be **musical director.’ But we were hardly prepared to see St. James Hall filled as it was last evening. It is needless to say thatthe entertainment was excellent, as a whole. Most of the selections were cap- itslly rendered. It was pleasing to note that new talent is being brought into the musical field. Miss Gertrude Brown and little Mies Vere Hyndman made a decided impression by the excellence of their piano playing; and Mrs. Norton, Mrs. Williston Beown, and Mrs. Toombs possess voices which will always be heard with pleasure by a Charlottetown audience. The auar- tettes and choruses were well sung. Mrs Maleolm McLeod's solo was, without doubt, the vocal gem of the evening. Mr Vinni combe’s selection of Scotch airs for his violin solo was a very happy and popular one, rousing the enthusiasm of the sons and daughters of Scotland, particularly in his bagpipe imitations, and calling forth a rapturous encore. The reading of Mr. George Peake and Rev. James Carru' hers were oll, but excellent alike in spirit and rendition.

manded for trial at the next session of the | ‘Supreme Court, which will be held at

Georgetown, on Tuesday next, 25th inst. | Higgins arrived at Georgetown on the | evening of Monday, 10th inst, and took

lodgings at Mrs. Griftin’s. On the follow- ing Wednesday about noon, he left there, saying that he was was gving across the river to Lower Montague to visit his urcle. On the same afternoon, about five o’cluck, | a lad answering to Higgins’ description en- tered the store of Mr. Peter Grant, at Car- digan, and made some purchases. He ap- peared to Mrs. Grant, who was in the store at the time, to be suffering from cold. About midnight, several hours after the} shop had been clused, and all had retired, |

; i

Mrs. Grant fancied she heard a nwise} as if sume person were moving about} the —_stwre. After _ listening awhile, | and the noise being repeated, she |

lawoke her husband, who at once arose and | started for the shop. Just as he reached | the stairs he heard the shop door close with a bang, and on reaching the store he teund | that the door which he had securely locked | before retiring for the night, was open. | Not a sign of the burglar was to be seen.

Mr. Grant's next move was to look} through the store to ascertain the extent | of the damage and to find out what had | been stolen. An examination of the pre- | mises showed that the burglar had cut the | | putty off the lower portion and both sides | of one of the large panes in the shop} |window, and then taking the glass in his | hands broke the pane im the centre, thus making an opening through which he could enter the store. After crawling over some boxes, etc., he made his way to the counter. Finding that the tili could not be removed without a noise being made, as it was fitted up with a burglar alarm, the visitor crept under the counter and drew the screws out of the framework. He then removed the till, with its contents —about ninety cents in change and some silver. Becoming alarmed at hearing jthe noise made by Mr. Grant in getting to the shop, he made a hasty exit through the frout door, which he unlocked with the key left hanging by the wall, taking the till with him. On the next day Mr. Grant found the till among some straw in the barn of Mr. John Campbeil, ashort distance away, whither the burglar must have repair- ed after leaving the store with his plander.

Oa Thursday morning, about half-past eight, Higgins returned to Mrs. Griflin’s, at Georgetown. There he said that he had been over to his uncle’s at Montague, aud had come over to take the train for Char- lottetown where he was to meet his father, but had »rrived too late. On the same night he robbed his boarding house and Jenkins’ store When arrested in Griffiu’s cellar, he was armed with a revolver, every chamber of which was loaded, a razor and a large pocket knife.

Higgins is, evidently, the person who burglarized Mr. Grant’s store, and who has been operating elsewhere on the Island. He is une of the most dangerous characters that the Province has ever been infested with, and the authorities wil] likely see that he will shortly be placed where ke will be prevented from exercising his calling for some years to come.

AT ONCR A SPECIALIST who CAN CURE you if it is possible for you to be cured.

Much permanent illness is brought about from the simple fact of ignorance in the man-

agement of our own bodies. Many serious troubles might have been prevented by consulting a specialist of known abi‘ity at the proper time. That well-known axiom, ‘‘a stitch in (ime saves nine,” may be applied to the practice of medicine iu the treatment of diseases of the most painfal and dangerous nature. If the first warning symptoms aie ofservedand brought to the notice of a compe/ent specialist, the fiual (and ofven fatal) permanent disease might have been prevenied.

Rut even if such a chronic condition is present, it is always possib'e to alleviate and often possible to arrest the progress of the diseise, and thus mate au otherwise miserable existence a happy one, by consulting one who has devoted yeuirs of his life tu the treatment of chronic ailments.

To Treat Private and Chronic Diseases Successfully

not onlv requires special ability, but also an extensive experience, and as thousands of rare and obscure cases are yearly tieated by them, aided by all that medical science of to-day affords, it can readily be seen why it is that they are so successful in the curing of al] Private and Chronic Diseases, Syphilis, Catarrh, Asthma, Consumption, Heart Disease, Dyspepsia, Kidney, Liver and Bowel Dis-ases, Piles, Rheumatisin, Cancer, Tumor, Varicose Veins, Uleeis, Deafness, Sore and Weak Eyes, Blood and Skin Diseases, Fits, Female Comp'aints, Nervousness, Stammering, Bashfulness, General Debility, and all Diseases of the Nervons System, are among their principal special cies.

The Special Remedies used for DIABETES Mellitus never fail to Cure.

It will be for your interest, if sick or unwell, to consult the Consulting Surgeon, who has had years of experience in treating the above-named diseases. All cases that have come under his personal supe:vision have rarely if ever faiied to be benefited or cured.
