Nellie Taylor. AN ISLAND GIRL COMES TO GRIEF IN MONCTON, Necture Tayior, the servant girl who, a

f articles, the property o

tew Weeks ago,

Marshal Thibedeau stated that he hi ad | found Nellie at the police station in bt. Jonn and with her a valise contain ing most | f the articles mentioned in the warrant also a number that were not enumer-}

Among the stclen articles were ay four dollar bill, a gold dollar fastened to a! pin, material for another dress, a pair of a pair of stockings, a plush box, filled with eards of various kinds, a silver watch, a_ parasol, three aprons, a shoulder cape, a fur tippet, a woollen scarf, some artificial flowers and a lot of ning, and

ab dress,

boots,

other trimi some other arcu los.

Mr. Marks testified that the prisoner had been in his employ ; and that on Wednes- 10th, himself and wife had gone

to St. John, le: ving the girl in charge of

a purse,

aay, Aug

the house. When they returned she was missing, as were the articles enumerated. He recognized the watch as his property,

and the dress worn by the prisoner as one belonging to his wife. Mrs. Marks corro- borated her husband’s testimony and re- cognized as her’s not only the dress but

also the boots worn by the prisoner, and sll the other articles there present with the exception of a ring and a silk handker- chief.

When asked if she had anything to say Nellie stated that she had never seen the four dollar bill or the gold dollar and pin.

Coneerning the other articles she declined any statement. She was then sent the next session of the

to make up for trial at County Court. After being taken to the cell the prisoner down and cried. Later, she was searched, and a silk handkerchief, of which denied all knowledge, on her person. A dollar bill found con valed in her bosom, and clothing belonging to Mrs. Marks were also discovered. The girl is yood looking, and one that from her ap- pearance no one would be apt to suspect of is only sixteen years old. but ell deve eet and in appearance older. He r native place is Bedeque, P. E. Island. Policeman I oster learned, it is said, while on the Island searching for her, that her father is dead, her mother and one brother living on a farm at Bedeque, and that she herself had been living with her uncle. In order to get away frum the island she had forged her uncle’s name to an erder for a few dollars and with the cash had paid her way to Moncton. This accounts for the fact that she was without a supply of cloth- ing. It is said that when she arrived she had no money except some small change. Toa o ung of the Times, who visited her in her cell, Nellie denied that she had a mother and brother living at Bedeque, and denied having forged an order in her uncle’s name. She further said that she had come to Moncton from St. Eleanor’s where she had been staying for some weeks with a cousin. She admitted having an

length, and the reporter said good-bye.

More Done With Less Noise. (St. John 3 Soin. ) The New York Times recently sent a

member of its staff to St. John, who fur- nished his employers with the required deseription of the unhappy condition of this and other Canadian localities, The Times representative giv es a glowing des- cription of the St. John of fifteen years ago, In those days he says the air was full of yo-heave-yo in sixteen languages; steam and horsepower windlasses were heard far away; and the harbor was crowded with vessels of every rig. Of late years, he reports the harbor deserted, the wharves are rotting unused, and the whole neighbor- hood is an abomination of desolation-—vr words to that effect. It is a sad picture. Fifteen years ago would be in 1872. It was rather flush tines then in the lumber business, but after all what do the returns say of the fifteen years decline in St. John shipping | }

} '

' many places which now ship direct, as, for

Ihe trade and navigation table tells us that in 1872, the number of vessels entered at this port from sea was 1,562, aggregating 450,369 tons. Last fiscal year the number of vessels entered from sea was 1,840, with an aggregate of 472,001 tons. The crews numbered 15,056 in 1872 and 16,593 in i836. It seoms that fifteen years ago there have been a deal of unnecessary yell- ing, clanking and crowding, seeing that more work is done now with no sound of yo-heave-yo, no clatter of windlass. The change is evidently due not so much to the decay of the port as to the improvement in hoisting apparatus.

It mizht be further remarked that the exports of St. John were $300,000 larger last year than fifteen years ago, though this | port in 1862 handled the lumber trade of

must

example of Parrsboro, which exported direct last year $284,000 worth, as against $18,000 worth in 1872. All of which is a matter of record. >> —-—- OwEN CoNNOLLY is selling the balance of

preaching he half leaned upon the desk and

/in a conversational tone talked to the con-

vregation without manuscript, at times rising to the dignity of eloquence and em- ploying exquisitively poetic illustrations. His theme was ‘* Executing duty in life as the best means of contributing to the hap- piness of others and of one’s self.” He derives a handsome income from his thirty volumes of novels and nine of poetry, and is also in receipt of an annual pension of {100 from the Queen’s civil list, as a com- pliment to his literary rank. He isa noted Shakesperian scholar, and has taken part in amateur theatricals for charity. One of the congregation spoke to very enthusiastically about the preacher's per- formance on one occasion of Macduff. ‘*Ah! what a man for the Plymouth church pulpits !’’ said one of the American colony, as we quitted the Chapel.
