Holes in the lee —-What the Law is.

We do not suppose that any one will ever again be soutterly thoughtless and care- less as to leave unfenced, in the vicinity of

this town, a large hole which he bas made

inthe ice. Nordo we presume that Mr. Weeks or any friend or relative of the daughter he has lost will prosecute the

offenders in this case. What has been done

is irreparable. Atonement can neither be

wade nor obtained for the life that is lost ; un-

revenge would be unsatisfactory and

christian. In this case there is nothing for

the parents and friends of the loved ona

that is gone but to bear, as well as they can, the hesvy weight of their sorrow, trusting in the help of God. But in other parts of the Pr

there has been, and

~-We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs. John J. McDonald, of East Point, Lot 47, who died very suddenly on Tuesday morning, llth inst, in the 7ist year of her age. Mra. McDonald awoke early on the morning on which she died, in her usual good health, and gave instructions to one of the inmates in reference to preparing breakfast, and in a tew minutes afterwards when one of the family went into her room with a cup of tea to her, she was dead, and must have died instantaneously of heart dis- ease. Her remains were followed to her last resting place at St. Columbia’s Catholic Church, on the 13th bya large number of rela- tives and friends. Mrs. McDonald was uni- versally respected and esteemed by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She ieaves a sorrowing widower, besides six sons snd three daughters to mourn their irrepar- able loss.

-Whether Lord Randolph Churchill has steered his political course wisely or not muy be matter forepinion, buat few will question the wisdom of the advice he gave the other day at Paddington with reference to the necessity for effective organization. He said: **The work of organization is in reality the life of modern political parties, and where political parties come to grief either in localities or generally throughout the country, the cause is almost invariably to be found in defective or neglected or- ganization. I can well remember the con- dition of things in 1874. At that time the Conservative organization, as compared with the psesent day, had been brought to a pitch of perfection, andthe result was that our party came into power, under a great ieader, with a great majority, which inspired the party with every possible con- fidence with regard tv the future.” He attributed, as most people do, the Liberal victory of 1830 in large measure to the per- fect organization of the Liberals and the apathetic policy of the Couservatives, who took a good deal for granted.

Who Carried Away :the Witness ?

P. S. BROWN ACQUITTED.

A Little Light About the Matter.

oa ee

Tue Stipendiary Mgistrate’s Courtroom was crowded again this forenoon, when the

case of Picton S. Brown, charged with attempting to dissuade a witness from attending the Court on the l4th inst., came up for trial. Mal-

colm MeLeod, Q. C., and Mr. Morson ap-

peared for the prosecution; Mr. Fred. Peters for the defence. Mr. Sutherland

and his Counsel were also present.

The following is a summary report what the witnesses said :—

James M. SvuTHERLAND amined by Mr. M. McLeod. 1 know Mr. Brown and 1 know Lizzie Stewart. I heard of her coming to town last Thursday, 1 did not see Brown. I do not know Curran. Idid net converse with either of them about Lizzie Stewart, or with Tom Berri- gan. Ido not know that she was at Mrs. Weeks’ on Thursday night. I know Mr Robins. | have spoken to him about Lizzie Stewart. I spoke to him last even- ing and twice or three times since I saw

of

(sworn)—Ex-

the report of the girl's disappearauce in the paper. No overtures were made to me about this witness, and I have no

suspicion where she is. On Thursday night { was at the annual meeting of the Woolen Factory Company.

Mr. Anruunr Prerers (sworn)—Examined by Mr. M. McLeod.—-! had no interview with Brown on Thursday night; I had with Curran. He came to my house about half-past nine. He said something about Lizzie Stewart. He said there was a lot of people in his house, and that they wanted to get her away. | told him that I would have nothingtodo withit. He said that he had been to my brother's, and that he said thatthe would have , nothing whatever to do with it.

To the Magistrate—The next merning I heard that the girl was gone.

To Mr. M. McLeod.—I said to him: **1 ean have nothing whatever to do with it.” I donot know where the girlis. I did not hear what they did with her. I heard a rumor that she was in Boston; that was all.

tucHARD CURRAN (sworn) —Examined by Mr. M. McLeod.—l know Lizzie Stewart. I did nothing with her. I went to see Mr. Peters. 1 did not tell Mr. Peters that there were people at my house who wanted tu get her away. Lizzie Stewart is not a rela- tive of mine. Her half-brother is married to my sister. I knew her in the country— we were all brought up together. I went to see Mr. Peters. Mrs. Stewart asked me to go to see if any harm would come to Lizzie if she went away. I saw Lizzie first at my house at dinner-time on Thursday. | went down to the Lyceum and worked

there till three or four o’clock. I under- stood that Lizzie was in as a witness in Mrs. Weeks’ trial. She told me so. I

went home from the Lyceum. They were not there then. [ went down to Tom Connolly’s, who lives near Heartz’s. Michael Stewart, my brother-in-law, lives there. Then 1 went tothe Lyceum. Then I went to Patrick Burke's, and from there to the Lyceum again. Then J went home sometime between six and seven. Then I went to Nelson’s grocery store. Then [ went home again. That was about eight o’clock.

The next place I went to was Mr. Fred. Peters’. Then I went to Mr. Arthur Peters’. Then I went with Mrs. Stewart,

and the girls to Michael’s Doyle’s. This was about nine o’clock. When I met Mrs. Stewart and the girls at dinner-time, there was nota word said about Lizzie going 1 didn’t know and didn’t care

away. whether she went away or not. I don’t think they took tea at my house. We did

not then talk about the witness keeping away. I told her to tell the truth, and not to be afraid. It was sometime after I came back from Nelson’s that I volunteered to go to Mr. Peters’. [ do not think Lizzie or her sister heard me talk to her mother about her going away. Mr. Arthur Peters would have nothing to do with it. We went to Michael Doyle’s. I can’t re- member who was there. I was drunk. I walked up to Doyle’s. 1 got a horse at James Sullivan’s and rode to Mr. Peters’. Lleft Doyle’s tocome home. I didn’t go straight home. I can’t remember the time larrived. They told me it was about 12 o'clock. Isaw Brown that night. I was in his house after the girls left me. I weat to Mrs. Doyle's on horseback, I ain’t sure whether it was before or after I went to Peters’. When [ went to Doyle’s, Lizzie and her mother were at my house. The keeping away of the glrl was spoken of be- fore we left Doyle’s. From Doyle’s I came past Robins’ livery stable, When we came to the stable [ wished to speak to Edward Flynn, and went into the stable. I didn’t see Brown there. I can say that John Mc- Murrough was there. Mr. Robins was there. Two other men were there. Flynn was not there. I think that 1 only went in as far asthe carriage room. | saw John McMurrough there and another man. When I went out I did not see the girls. Then I went back to talk to Robins. I went in with these men into Mr. Brown’s house. Two men were with me—McMur- rough was one of them. Mr. Brent Long- worth was there, and Mr. Robins and Mr. _ Riggs. All were in Brown’s house. I cannot say how long | was there, One of the fellows tcok a bottle in. I walked home alone. My wife was sitting up for me. The girls were not there. I did not ask my wife if they were there. They might have been there, for what Lknew. I swear that it was the in- tention of the two girls, when we left Doyle's, to stop with me that night, or e'se one was to stay at Mrs. Hodgson’s with my sister, who isa servant there. It was distinctly understood that the sisters would come back. Mrs. Stewart stayed at Doyle’s. Mrs. Doyle is Mrs. Stewart's sister. 1 went to Doyle’s to walk home with ther, I have not been in town all the time sir.ce I was out to the Royalty on Friday nijght, J went to Patrick Berrigan’s, Patrick Ber- rigan drove out with me.

About noon we went to John Berrigan’s, had dinner there, stayed at Pat's all night, coming home on Sunday evening. | I spent both nights at the Berrigans, and | since then have been in town all the time. | When [ was at Brown’s house McMurrough | spoke to me. I never saw Brown) in Robins’ stable. I don’t think that I!

I went to Doyie’s to see if the old woman and the two girls could stay there that night. 1 don’t think that I wentin. Mrs. Stewart asked me to go to Doyle's. I didn’t know that Mrs. Stewart and Maggie had stayed at Doyle’s the night before. Mrs. Doyle said that ske hadn’t room for them.

To the Magistrate—I never spoke to Brown about the girls on that Thursday

had been at my place that evening after dark. I thought the man was in liquor. I do not remember what he said. He said

something about Lizzie. When the girls left my heuse Maggie took away some things with her. I understood that they

were going to sleep at Curran’s. I told Lizzie not to be downhearted about going to court—she would only have to speak the

truth. My husband was in when the girls were there. I think he heard whar Curran said.

To the Magistrate—I had no idea that the girl was going to be taken away. Micuaet Doy Le, (sworn)—Examined by Mr. McLeod.—Mrs. Stewart and Maggie were at my house on Wednesday. I didn't see them again until Thursday night. Then I saw two of them sitting in the room. Cur- ran was at my house before that. He spoke about the girls. He said something about the girls going away. I said ‘‘ I’ have nothing at all to do with it; they are in the hands of the law.” He asked me my opinion, and said that he was going to see Mr. Peters. He talked pretty loud, but was not staggering. The next time he came in I heard him talking in the hall. I went and asked him what Mr. Peters said tohim. He said that Mr. Peters would have nothing at allto say to him.

Old Gabriel’s case has attracted a good deal ot attention within the past year, and there is little doubt that his life extend- ed far beyond the allotted span, He was an old man as long as any of the present gener- ation can remember, and could speak of in- eidents that took place when Spain was possessed of a good share of the present terri. tory of the United States. But he could give no connect? history of his life, or the mo- mentous events that had taken place during its continuance, and which he must have heard spoken of as matters of current com- ment.
