A Srranece Proceepixe.—On Saturday evening last, about ten o'clock, # young man passing from Warren's to Hall's Cor- ner, on Queen Street, picked up a stone snd threw it at Prowse Bros’. window, cracking one of the smaller plate glass panes near the doorway. Watchman Mer- chant, who was in the vicinity at the time, saw the fellow pick up the stone and heard the noise of the crash against the glass. He ran across Queen Street, toward’s Al- chorn's, and captured the stene-thrower as he was walking down the sidewalk. Two policemen came along at the time, and the watchman asked them totake the man in charge, but they declined to do so as they did not see him do the damage. After the watchman and the Tofficers discussed the situation for some time, the stone-thrower was released, the ofticers positively refusing to arrest him until a warrant had been sworn out.

Tue Mackeret Catcu.—Boston advices of the 20th say':—The outlook for mackerel is a little more promising. An arrival op Thurs- day of 37 bbls. from the yicinity of Block jsland, was composed in part of mackerel not more than 10 inches in length. The tisher- men also report more smal] mackerel where they are catching for the fresh fish trade. The outlook is very dubious. The fleet are taking very few mackerel, The total landed by the New England fleet for the week was but 202 bbis.; same week a year ago 365 bbls. For the week the arrivals of foreign mackerel were about 2,700 bbls., about 1,000 bbls. of which were Irish. These fish sold at $16.50 to $17. They grade about large 3s. They are very uneven as to weight of bbls., and ail have to be repacked before they are ready for sale in the general trade. The jobbers here are quoting medium 3s at $10 to $16.25 ; large 3s $16.50 to $17 ; shore 23 220. There are not any No. } mackerel offering. The demand is very good for all the mackerel there are to sell.

THER CURRAN PAMILY AFTER A BIG ESTATE IN NEW YORK—THEIR PROSPECTS FOR OB- TAINING IT THOUGHT TO BE VERY GOOD. Michaet Curran and John Curran, of

Avondale, and Francis Curran, of George- town, are, seeking to recover property in New York City, the value of which is estimated at several million dollars. The property is in the centre of the city and is well built up.

The property in question was, we under- stand owned by an ancestor of the Curran’s on the paternal side, and was leased by him tothe British Government about the time of the American revolution. Shortly after granting the lease the lessor died, leaving the above named persons, and a brother of theirs residing in Ireland, as next of kin.

There appears no their right to recover this property unless barred by the statute of lim- itation or by confiscation at the time of the revolution, Mr. J.C McEachen, barris- ter-at-law, of New York, is pushing the case for the Currans, and is quite sanguine of success.

John Curran, the oldest of the claimants, is about 70 years of age, and has a family. All the others are also well up in years, and have families.

FIRST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS Strangers in the City.

Sr. Joun, N. B., July 22.

The first day of the summer carnival has been brought to a close, and everything has passed off without a fault to be found. The day was opened by a temperance parade, in which all the orders in the city took part, making « very creditable turnout, The electrical exhibition was the big event of the day, to which everybody looked for ward with great interest. Sir Leonard Tilley opened the exhibition, after which several guns were fired by electricity, one by President VanHorne from his office iu Montreal, and another by the Mayor of Vancouver The wires of the Canadian Pacific Telegraph Company were used for firing these guns, and this part of the programme was a complete suc- cess. The electrical exhibition is, beyond all doubt, the great sight for visitors. Tropical gardens, cascades, fountains, etc., are there iv all their splendor, and the wonderful uses to which electricity has been put is demonstrated ma most interesting manner. The Edison display alone is a whole exhibition, being valued at some twenty thousand dollars, exclusive of the lights supplied by the concern for the press room, art room, and other quarters. John Starr, of Halifax, makes # good display of dynamos, telephones, motors, etc., and the Lehmeyer system of electric lighting. The exhibition is a most creditable one. To-night the squares were packed with people at the band concerts. This after- noon the St. John and Monctons played an exhibition ball game, the home team nine winning 18 to 7. The Common Coun- cil at their meeting this afternoon declined to attend the trades procession to-morrow afternoon. The number of strangers in the city is unusually large, especially Ameri- cans, and to-morrow’s boat is reported to have over five hundred on board. Not-

withstanding all this rush of people the city is quiet to-night.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

Summary of Proceedings.

Lonpon, July 23,

In the House of Parliament to-day, Rt. Hon. Sir Jam:s Ferguson, Parliamentary Secretary for the Foreign Office, stated that no final programme for the Maritime Conference had been agreed upon with the American Government,

Lord George Hamilton, First Lord of the Admiralty, announced that the construc- tion of 52 warships would be began during the current year.

Rt. Hon. William Smith, Government Leader, laid on the table the report of the Committee ef Royal Grants. The report recommends that the sum of £9000 be added to the quarterly grant of the Prince of Wales. The report maintains the right of the Queen to ask parliament to make further provisions forher grand-child- ren.

Labouchere moved the rejectment of the report of the committee, and to substitute therefor an address to the Queen reciting, among other things, that the sums already voted by parliament to the royal family should be amply sufficient for all proper purposes. If further supplies were needed they ought to be provided through retrench- ment of the expenses of the royal family, and not by demands upon the taxpayers.

Gladstone, although he censured the Government for their attitude, voted with the majority for the committee on the royal grant.

_ The committee advises that at the proper time a law be passed providing that future Sovereigns have no claim to parliamentary provision for grandchildren.

The Tenant's Defence League.

Lonpon, July 22.

The Parnellite members of Parliameat met to-day to-discuss the subject of the Tenants’ Defence League. A _ resolution was adopted declaring that the object of the new organization is to counteract in a legal manner the landlords’ combination formed for the purpose of extorting unjust rents and arrears, imposing inequitable terms of purchase stimulating evictions and destroying the security of tenants in their holdings. A sovereign managing council of fifteen will be elected annually. The league willkeep the British public informed regarding the aims of the landlords, and will assist at the by-elections. Davitt, Biggar, Healy and Sullivan were elected treasurers pro tem.

* For two years T suffered from a se vere pain in my right side, and had other troubles cau by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. [ was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com- — cured.’’—John W. Benson, 70

awrence st., Lowell, Mass.

Last May a large carbuncle broke out onmyarm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks. A friend induced me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In all my expe- rience with medicine, I never saw more

Wonderful Results.

Another marked effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my sight.’""—Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas.

“I had a dry scaly humor for years, and suffered terribly ; and,as my broth- er and sister were similarly afflicted, I presume the malady is heveliliery. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fila.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five months I took it daily. I have not had a blemish upon m body for the last three months.””—T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers st., New York City.

“Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. Duriug the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom- ach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely cured.””— Mrs. Augusta A.
