Proressor Foster, the eloquent parlia mentarian and temperance speaker,delivered an address, in the Benovelent Irish Society Hall, on Saturday. In the audience were His Honor the Lieut. Governor, and many of the clergy and leading men of the town

Mr Foster pointed out that a general movement for prohibiting the liquor traffic ss go.ng on throughout Canada, and that the people of Charlottetown have now an opportunity of showing by their votes, that they are in sympathy with the onward sweep of seuti ment which is impelling the people to suppress the traffic in strong drink, and abate the public evil of drunkenness. As in Halton, so in Charlottetown, the result of the election will be heralded throughout Canada as a triumph, or the reverse, of the liquor dealers. Batin Halton the majority in favor of the Act was three times as great ws at first.

The Parliament of Canada stands pledged to the principle of prohibition ; and it only remains for the country to express its opinion. The opinion Charlottetown will expre:s will be regarded wich great interest. Che Canada Temperance Act, though not a perfect Act, and not so we'l enforced as it ought to be, has done a great deal in this Dominion. It has been a means of demon- strating beyond doubt that the power to prohibit the liquor traffic is in the Dominion Government. It has stripped from the licuor traffic its garb of respectability — it is not ‘‘respectable” to sell liquor, be- cause it is not lawful. It has formed a rally- ing point for the edacation of the people in prohibition sentiment, ana everywhere this sentiment is growing, growing, growing. [t is death to the treating system, by which drunkards are, in most cases, made. It has made the Jiquor dealers less wealthy and less powerful for evil than they were.

The parent tells his child that liquor drinking and everything connected with it is evil; the teacher a little later on im- presses on the mind of the youth the fact that the liquor traflic is bad. The Church denounces it. Suppose that it-be legalized and licensed, the teaching of the State is directly opposite to that of the home, the school, and the church.

Did the movement for the repeal of the Act startin the church, in the school, or in the home? No. Then who promotes it ? The liquor dealers, and those who are under the power of strong drink. To which side will the electors of Charlottetown lend their influence and their votes!

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Foster spoke in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, which was crowded to excess. He dwelt chiefly on the eflect of the licensed saloon on the home. The hope of the saloon is in the young. Give the young boys of our homes facilities aud they will fill the ranks of those whe to-day are the chief support of the saloon. No man in the audience would allow a saloon to exist next his home if he could prevent it—and he would be a mean man who would vote to place it alongside some- body elzes home. The Scott Act is a power- ful weapon, and the liquor dealers know it! In six weeks, if the Act were properly eaforced, the traffic could be stamped out. Many men say the Act is a failure; but the men who say so do not move their Jittle finger to aid its enforcement. The Act is intended for a stepping stone to prohibition. Let the Act be sustained on the 16h, and then agitate for prohibiton,pure and simple. Let the Act be rejected, and we put our backs to prohibition. The question to the fathers and mothers of Charlottetown, is one of vital importance!

Frofessor Foster was planded.

He will speak again in Market Hall to- night.

In his address to the Trades’ Union Congress at Aberdeen, Lord Rosebery dwelt stfongly on the daty and advantage of directing emigrants, not to the foreign countries, but to the colonies where they would still remain members of the empire and fellow citizens of their kinsmen at home. Having shown that out of nearly 176,00C persons who had left the shores of Britain during the first eight months of the present year, nearly 113,000 had gone to the United States, while Australia and Canada together had received uly about half that number, he thus con- tinued: ‘‘Now I come to the point. Why is it that this question isa matter of real und vital interest to you? Who are these emigrants who go to the United States, to Canada and Australia! Do they belong to the upper classes or mainly to the middle classes | No, they almost entirely belong to the classes. lt

these distant countries.

THH DALILLY :

THE WHITHAN TRIAL, The Prisoner Convicted of Indecent Assault,

ScumMersipe, Saturday, Oct. 11.

| The trial of John M. Whitman, of Char-

ilottetown, indicted for an indecent assault

lon a girl named Catherine McKinnon, a | servant in the Grady House, Summerside, | took place here to-day. The Court Room was crowded,

The case on behalf of the Crown was conducted by Hon. W. W. Suilivan, Q. C , Attorney-General, and Mr. E. J. Hodgsen, () C. The prisoner was defended by Mr. H. E. Wright, and Mr. James W. Howe.

The indictment contained two counts, first for indecent assault, and the second for common assault. ‘The jury having been called and sworn, and Mr. James D. Irving, Clerk of the Crown, having read the indictment, Mr. Hodgson, on behalf of the prosecution, opened the case with a strong address, which lasted nearly an hour in its delivery. His remarks were not characterised by any feeling or warmth,bat he gave a clear and distinct account of all che circumstances the Crown intended to prove. He first stated what the law deemed an assault, the slightest which

might be an assault, and in this case all he intended to prove was that this prisoner put his hand on Kate Me-

Kinnon’s face, not with force or violence, there was no complaint of that kind. But the circumstances under which an assault was committed, madea vast difference in the way it should be regarded, and in this case the circumstances rendered this assault a most serious one. Kate McKinnon, a servant girl at the Grady Boarding House, went to bed exhibition night, be'ween nine and ten o'clock, and during the vight she was awakened by some ene putting his hand on her face. This person had hung one of her skirts across the window, for it was a bright moonlight night. She was able to see a man with only his underclothing on, and a sort of cloth mask over his face, with holes for his eyes, nose and ears. The girl will swear she recognized Whitman. She called out, ‘* Who is there?’ The man replied, “ It’s me.” She recognized Whitman’s voice. Again she called out to him to leave the room, which he did a few minutes after- wards. She heard Mrs. Grady scream. Her bedroom had been visited, too, and she was awakened by someone putting his hand on her body. She put her. hand out, and it came in contact with the shoul- der of a man crouching by her bed° She screamed, and a man _ quickly rose and left the room. He was dressed in white underclothing only, and did not speak. Whitman, the prisoner, was an inmate of the house that night and oceupied the front bedroom upstairs. In the morning, he went away without paying his bill. The girl, McKinnon, told Mr. Grady in the morning that Whitman had been in her room, and described his appear- ance. This left no doubt in Mr. Grady’s mind that he was the man who came into her room, When Kate McKinnon was doing up Whitman’s bed next morning she found under the pillow the mask worn the night before by Whitman.

Mr. Hodgson pressed no point against the prisoner, but a clear, connected state- ment was presented to the jury, every por- tion of which, he pledged himself, that the Crown would prove. Mr. Hodgson's speech was listened to with much atten- tion.

Mr. Hodgson then called as the first witness, David Grady, the proprietor of the House where the alleged assault took place. This witness was very deaf, in fact it appeared almost impossible for him to hear anything. His evidence was as follows :—

Davin Grapy, sworn, and examined by Mr. Hodgson—lI live in Summerside and keep .a boarding-house there. I have a servant girl in my employment, named Catherine McKinnon. | know thg prisoner Whiiman by eyesight only. He was at my place twice or three times, I think—once or twice before the exhibition and on exhibi- bition night. I did not see him on the torning of exhibition day, but I put him to bed about ten o’clock on that night. (A plan of the house was here produced and the witness pointed out the room he put him in, which was what is known as the front room up-stairs.) I left him in this room to lie down for the night. I did not see him ia the morning. I can’t tell where he went. He did not settle with me for his lodging. I heard no noise through the night. I am very deaf. I neither saw nor heard him from the time I put him to bed that night until he was brought here by the Sheriff from Charlottetown.

Cross-exawined by Mr. Wright—The

prisoner was sober that night. He had a drink out of a flask that a Mr. Durant, who elept in my house that same night, had. Durant slept in another bed-room. The prisoner slept in the front reom up stairs. Mrs. Grady, my wife, slept down stairs in a room at the end of the hall. There was no liquor about the Louse that night, except what Durant had. The other strangers in the house that night were men named Keefe and DeRoche. Keefe slept with the prisoner that night. I was up before six o'clock next morning. The prisoner staid at my place | think once or twice before for two nights. 1 saw nothing improper in his conduct then.

Carnekine MoKronon, (Presecutorix) ‘sworn, and examined by Mr. Hodgson:—I live at Mr. Grady’s in Summerside. 1 know the prisoner, have seen him there twice or three times. I remember him being at Grady’s, exhibition time. He came by the nine o’clock train, exhibition day. The time that he was there before he came at noon and went away next day by the evening train. He took meals at the house while there. I have heard him speak, he has spoken tome. I sleep alone in a small room above the kitchen. Thestairs to my bedrvom leads out of the kitchen. A person in the dining room, which leads off the kitchen, could see any one coming from my room. Iwas going out for a walk ex- hibition night, and came from my room with my hat and things on. ‘The prisoner was then in the dining room, and could see me coming from by bedroom. He was not in the dining room when I came back. I went to bed that night about half past nine. 1 was awakened through the night by some one potting his hand on my face. When |

Krom what [ then saw and from what | | then heard, I am prepared to swear and do swear that the man who was in my room was Dr. Whitman, the prisoner. He was ‘dressed alt in white. He had a cap on. | (The counsel here handed the witness a cap ‘ormask. It was simply the lower portion

land was ebout 12 or 15 inches long. The ‘end was tied with a etring, and holes were cut for the eyes, ears and nose; there was no place fur the mouth, but the lower part of the mask was hemmed with cotton, evidently to prevent uvravellin.) Witness continuing. —I identify this as the cap prisoner had on that night. He left the room, and about five or ten minutes afterwards I heard Mrs. Grady screeching. I know the front room where prisoner slept that night. I made the bed in that room about nire o'clock next morning. When making the bed I found thia cap under the pillow. I don’t know what hour of night the occurrence in my room took place. When [ heard Mrs. Grady scream I did nothing. I was too frightened to move.

1 got wp next morning about six o'clock. 1 told what happened in my room to Mrs. Grady and to Mr. Grady.

Mr. Grady sleeps in the room next to me, I did not see the prisoner in the morning. Some of the people who were in the house that night had breakfast in the morning before the train left. Breakfast was ready anyhow. The prisoner did not take breakfast. Without the cap I would be sure that the man was Whitman. , I could see his beard when it was on. If 1 never found the cap I would be able to recognize him. The minute I found it I knew it was what prisoner had on his he ad that niyht.

Cross-examined by Mr. Howe :—I saw the prisoner Exhibition evening. He was sober. I have seen him at the house before then, and I never then saw any impropriety in him. I have heard him speak a great many times. I knew his voice that night. It was Whitman all right. I will swear this cap is what he had on. The room was not very dark. It was a moonlight night. I was asleep when he came in. He came in and awoke me. He was feeling my face when I awoke. From the time 1 awoke until he went out was about five minutes. I sung out pretty near as hard as I could. It was about haff-past six next morning when | told about it to Mr. and Mrs. Grady. 1 told them then it was Whitman. I did not tell until after Mrs. Grady had told about somebody being in her reom. Mrs. Grady told first. I solemnly swear it was Whit- man, the prisoner, who was in my room that night. I also swear to cap. There were three other strange men in the house that night besides Whitman, I waited on, the breakfast table next morning Whit- man did not take breakfast. He could not get breakfast without our giving it to him. I have no» personal grudge against the prisoner.

To the Chief Justice :—Prisoner had been at the house two or three times before Exhibition, and he often spoke to me.

MarkGakeET Grapby, sworn, and examined by the Artorney General—I am the wife of David Grady. We live near the Railway Station in Summerside, in Prince County. I know the prisoner, have seen him in my own house. I think he was there for two nights before the exhibition time. I saw him there exhibition day. He came in che morning by the nine o'clock train. He had a lunch then, and at dinner time had dinner. I saw him again in the evening about dusk. I also saw him in the dining room after dark. I think he went up stairs to go to bed before I went te bed. Mr. Grady showed him to the room. I went to bed, an'l I think I left Mr. Grady up. I have one servant named Kate McKinnon. I sleep down stairs off kitchen at the end of the hall. There are no other bed-rooms down stairs. The servant sleeps above the kitchen in a small room, There were a a ccuple more lodgers in our house that night—Joseph Keefe and John Durant. The prisoner slept in the front room upstairs. About one o'clock that night my rest was disturbed. I[ awoke, feeling some one putting his hand on me in bed. I screamed ; at first I thought it was a ghost. I could see no one at first, but I put eut my hand and felt a man’s shoulder. He was then down by the side of the bed, but he rese up. I saw him ; he was all in white.

Mr. Howe here objected to this evidence. He said prisoner was not being tried for this offence but for another charge, and this evidence was detrimental to the pris- oner.

The Chief Justice overru'ed the objec- tion, saying he couldn’t Lelp it, a great deal of the evidence appe red that way. He could not reject it ; ‘he jury must hear it.

Witness continuing said—lI saw the man walk cut of the recom intothe hall. There was bo outside door opened. 1 listened particularly and heard none open. I got up and locked the bed-room door and went back to bed, but did not sleep a wink ail night afterwards. The man appeared to have something on his feet, he went along so soft. I got up about half-past six next morning and told Mr. Grady. I did not see prisoner next morning. He was gone; he had no breakfast. He did not pay for his lodging. I was in his room that morning. We had breakfast ready in time for people to go on train. We always do, We onlylive across the street from station.

Cross-examined by Mr. Howe:—I know which case is before the jury. I saw the prisoner before Exhibition time and he then appeired a decent man. I never said prisoner came in my room. I did not know of present proceedings until I got sub- poena.

JoserH Keere, sworn, and examined by Mr. Hodgson —I was at Grady’s house on the night of the Exhibition. 1 slept in the front room upstairs) I got to bed about tien o'clock or a iittle after. There was only one bed in the room. There was a man inthe «bed whea I went in. I believe it was the prisoner. I did not know him. 1 went to sleep shortly afier I went I slept very soundly all night; never woke until daylight. I have no xnowledge of prisoner getting out of bed through the night. I di

night cap. This cap does not belong to wae. LI saw it for the first time the next Gay Cioss-examined by Mr. Howe :—I had no conversation that night with Whitman. Whitman was iu bed when I got up, and I washed first. He was sober.

To the Attorney-General :—I had a con- versation with him in the morning while I was dressing. He a ked me was I going enst. I said no, that I belonged to Allerton. I had my breakfast at Grady’s

To Mr. Howe:—He left before 1 did. 1 think the Railway men were shunting cars when he left. I believe they were making up the cars for Charlottetown.

Johu Durant sworn and examined by Mr. Hodgson :—I slept at Grady's on Exhibi- tion night in tle big rvom_ up-staire. I went to bed between nine and ten o'clock. I went to sleep and slept very scund. I had had no sleep the night before. I never left the room through the night. I dis- turbed no one. There was no key in the ducer and I put achair to it, and the chair was there in the morning when I got up. It was near seven o'clock next morning when I got up.

Cross-examined by Mr. Howe :—I heard no screeching through the night. Every- thing was quiet. J saw the prisoner Exhi- bition night. I saw him drink one glass of liquor. He was perfectly sober. The noise would have had to be pretty loud before I would have heard it.

This closed the evidence on behalf of the crown.

Mr. Howe moved to quash the indiet- ment, saying there was no evidence to sus- tain it, but the Chief Justice thought there was suftticient evidence.

Mr. Wright, for the prisoner, submiited to the court that there was no evidence cf an indecent assault. The man, whoever he was, was going around looking for some- thing to drink.

Mr. Hodgson asked Mr. Wright where was the mouth on the mask, and how could he drink without a mouth.

Mr. Wright—that is simple enough.

Cuief J ustice—There is abundant evidence to support the second count for common assault, but the evidence to support the count for indecent assault is very weak indeed. I shall, however, leave the whole matter to the jury, and at the same time give them my views of the evidence in sup- port of the count for indecent assault.

The counsel for the prisoner informed the court that they had no evidence to call, and that Mr. Howe would address the jury for the prisoner when the Attorney General had finished.

Mr. Hodgson submitted that the crown counsel always had the right to reply, and that they would not waive that right or adopt any other course in this case.

The Chief Justice thereupon directed Mr. Howe to proceed with his address, which he did, occupying some three-quar- ters of an hour.

The Attorney General replied in a forcible and eloquent address, for a sum- mary of which we have-not space.

‘he Chief Justice charged the jury at sone length. He went through the whole evidence and stated to the jury that the evidence in support of the count in the judgment for common assault was very strong, and that he did not see how there could be any doubt of the prisoner's guilt of that charge. But regarding the graver offence charged, viz., of indecent assault, the evidence was very weak, and in his opinion the jury would satisfy the crown officers if they acquitted the prisoner of it, and found him guilty under the second count of the indictment. There being evi- dence, however, of an indecent assault, although very light indeed, the matter was for them to decide,

The Jury after an hour’s absence re- turned with a verdict of GUILTY.

The Chief Justice asked the foreman whether the jury intended to find the prisoner guilty of indecent assault or of common assault.

The Foreman—We find him guilty of an indecent assault.

Mr. Wright asked that the jury be polled, which was done, and cach juror upon being asked the question by Mr. Irving, answer- ed that he found the prisoner guilty of indecent assault.

A general verdict of guilty, as charged in the Indictment, was then entered, and the Court adjourned until Monday morning, when the prisoner will be tried on the second Indictment, which charges him with an indecent assault on Mrs. Grady.

Pessimism in Canada.

‘* There are probably more pessimists in Canada,” says Mr. Watson Griffin; ‘‘ than in any other country. These pessimists form a minority of the people, but they are numérous enough to make a great deal of noise. They refuse to believe anything good of Canada. They belittle the re- sources of the Dominion, and declare that itcan never be anything more than an agricultural country, and that farming does not pay. If five million people do not accomplish quite so much as fifty million, the pessimists declare that the country is unprogressive, and the people unenterprising; but when those five million people undertake the construction of great national works and carry them to completion with unexampled rapidity, they say that they were constructed too fast, and that the people will be ruined in consequence. If a factory closes, they pro- claim it on the housetops ; if a new factory is started, they close their eyes and pass by. If the immigration is large, they say most of the immigrants are paupers. If there is a decrease in immigration during the year, they are sure the population is stationary. [f a Canadian secures a good position in the United States, they say the country is being depleted of its population, and that the United Sates is being built up by the exodus. Jf an American accepts a good position in Canada, they com- plain that the best positions are being filled by foreigners.” If the legislature (as may happen in any country) makes a mistake, ‘confederation is a failure.” The pessimist swears that his own province maintains all the rest of the Dominion, And so the cry of the malcontents is kept up. In the United States, on the other hand, all citizens unite in praising their country and their institutions. If any of the newspapers there cried downthe en- terprises of the country, as is done by a

portion of the Canadian press, they would, | as an American recently said in Toronto, |

be burned out, The people would not stand it. But, happily, ‘*the noisy pes- simists are in the minority, and as the country grows in population and in wealth they will almiet entirely disappear,”

Great Fire in Sum- merside.

THREE VALUABLE HORSES BURRT ALIVE.

Destruction of House Property

>

The “Journal” Office in Ashes.

——

—_

About two o’clock on Sunday afternoon, a fire broke out in George Muttart’s stable, on Central Street, in Summerside, which quickly spread to his dwelling house. Ia half an hour the two buildings were in flames. Mr. Richard Huut’s warehouse then took fire. This dwelling house, occ:-

Howa, went next. By almost superhuman efforts, the buildings on the east side of Central Street were saved, but the residence of Mr. Daniel Hamilton, and a tenement house owned by the estate of the late Stephen M-Neill, on the west side, were consumed.

The fire also spread south along Central and St. Stephen Streets, destroying the Journal printing office and a building beluinging to the estate of the late Scephen Wright, in which Mr, J. M. Howe and Mr. H. G. Wright had their Jaw oftices. The whole block between First and Second Streets, and St. Stephen and Central, was totally destroyed. Three valuable horses were burned in Mr. Mauttart’s stable. With the exception of the Journal office, most of the sufferers saved their furniture and effects.

The excitement while the fire lasted was intense.

Mr. McMillan’s garden, and other vacant lots, were piled up with furniture taken from the burning and neighboring houses which fortunately escaped.

It should be a matter of thankfulness that there was so little wind. There was just a perceptible breeze from the south, which, from the heat, kept gradualiy in-

creasing.

Insurance is stated to be about as follows :—

Mr. Wright’s building no insurance.

Journal office and plant partially insured. Buildings cccupied by Mr. Muttart, no insurance, Mr. Hunt's building partially insured. Mr. Daniel Hamilton’s residence, no insurance. Mrs. M-:Neill’s house, no insurance.

One of the horses burnt was the Stallion George M., valued at $400, and the other was a celebrated trotting horse with a record of 2.27, recently purchased by Mr.

Muttert and Mr. Arthur Rogers.

Some Points to be Borne in Mind.

Bear in MrnD that the sease of the people as toa probibitory law, is now being tested throughout Capada; that every constituency so far has declared iu favor of prohibition and the Scott Act ; aud that if we, at this juncture declare against the Soott Act, the tact will be accepted throughout Cavada as a proof that we are against prohibition, and in favor of the liquor traffic.

Beak IN MIND that we have vo liquor law that can be enforced if we repeal the Scott Act.

BeaB IN MIND that it is better to have a law which, though violated with im- puuity in many cases, can be summarily enforced if we choose, rather than be without any law at all.

Bear IN MIND that a triumph fcr the ‘Repealers” will be a triumph for the liquor traffic and a disaster to the cause of temperance.

BEAR IN MIND that the license system promotes drunkenness.

Bear In MIND our own past ex- perience and what the Rev. W. R. Frame says about the fruits of high licenses and respectable licenses in Ber- muda.

Bear wx Minp that by licensing the liquor traffic, the community will relieve the licensed liquor dealers of responsi- bility for the evils—-the misery, poverty, sin and death—brought about by the traffic.

liquor ‘traffic we provide for its con- tinuance.

Bear IN MinD that if we, ourselves, are not in danger of becoming victims to the liquor traffic, there are weaker brethren and innocent little ones, whom we love, who may.

BEAR IN MIND that the present and the future, the moral and the material, inter- ests of our country, demand the suppres- siou of the liquor traffic.

Bear these points in mind; and vote and exert yourself to obtain “ against the petition.”
