The Empire remarks that ‘‘the coal discovery at Kamloops, British Columbia, recently, confirms the belief that the pro- vince contains an inexhaustible supply of that valuable substance. The Kamloops Sentinel says that two tunnels have been sunk some thirty feet, and already have ‘**eut across several seams of coal running from some inches to three feet.” As a Pacific coast paper remarks, ‘‘ The mineral wealth of British Columbia is so enormous and so varied that one need not be sur- prised at any announcement of new dis- coveries.”’

—The Kingston Whig enlivens the ‘“‘Hawke sensation” with the following

** bit of Island history ’

“In 1823 Mr. Haszard, the then young and inexperienced publisher of the Prince Edward Isiand Register published the report of a case before the court regarding some charges made against Governor Smith, aud for this offence was ordered to appear before the court of Chancery, being accused as ** guilty of a con- temptuous libelagainst the court.” Mr. Haszard at once disclosed the author of the report complained of, and thus escaped the terrible wrath of the judge. In dismissing **the convict,” as our present Minister of4 Justice would term him, the chancellor said : ‘I compassionate your youth and inex- perience; did I not do so I would lay you by the heels long enough for you to remember it. I caution you when you publigh anything again, keep clear, clear, sir, of a chancellor!” With this solema admonition the publisher got off.”

Queen Square Garden.

A numBeER Of Jadies and gentlemen at- tended the meeting heid at the Legislative Library this forenoon, «ad the following ladies were appointed te obtain subscrip- tions towards the Queen Square Garden : Mrs A A McDonald

aud Miss Carey ; Mrs Joseph Brecken

and Miss Barr ; Mrs Robert Weeks

and Miss Sutherland ; Mrs Dr Mcleod

and Miss Barr.

Mrs Newbery

and Mrs Bartlett ; Mrs Lewis

and Mrs Cook ; Miss Peters

and Miss Haszard.

The lady collectors are to report to a4

meeting to be held at the Library at il o'clock on Friday next. We hope—-we have no doubt—that they will be ina

position to justify Mr. Newbery in main- taining the garden asin recent years. It will reflect disgrace upon the community if the garden is not kept up. Last year it was the one bright spot iv the town to which all citizens could point with pride, the one spot upon which all could look with pleasure. Let it be so this ygar also. A good subscription list will, we have no doubt, be supplemented by generous grants by the City Council and Local Government.

MuvsicaL.—The Weber Quartet sang with a finish and melody that was charming. Their voices blend beautifully, and they were the favorites of the evening. They were encored again and again, and their singing afforded the heartiest enjoyment and elicited the liveliest applause.— Petersburg (Va.) Index-A ppeal.

ImmMIGRATION.—The immigration returns, as reported to the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, show that during the month of April there were 7,681 actual settlers for the Do- minion arrived, against 6,565 during the saine month last year, The total number from January Ist, inclusive, was 19,553. against 17,609 for the corresponding period ot 1887.

~~

Consistency.—The Grits have had much tall talk in condemnation of ‘‘the Govern- ment’s brute majority of tame followers,” etc. One would think by their boasting that they loved independence. But F. H. Hale, Inde- peadent M. P. of Carleton, N. B., has now been read out of ‘the party of purity” be- eause he would not, in a servile manner, fol- low Sir Richard Cartwright’s erratic course. They surely love men of independent minds who vote according to their views! !

Weser QUARTET.—The beautiful ng of the four voices gave a charm to y one of their well chosen selections. The po.ity of their interpretations, the absence of

empts at mere display, the admirable a2¢ of the voices, and the uniform preva. of good taste were teatures which com- taded the unqualified approbation of the cutive audience. The lesitimate is evidently the aim of the Quartet, and this aim is never sacrific l for personal ends, but the ensemble ex.ects are tuneful and harmonious,

The officers and soldiers, with | one or two exceptions, wore red sashes in laddition to the regulation uniform, and presented a picturesque appearance. All, with the exception of those who acted as | ushers and vendors of ‘* song books”’ and | War Crys, occupied seats on the platform,

iin front of which was suspended a banner |

About eight o'clock : | Beatty and the prospective bride, and Ser- | geant Knight and Major Margetts, were ushered in by Captain McLean, and shown |} to seats on the front of the platform. They were received with a rousing volley. Brigade Captain Beatty's countenance In- dicated the happiness he felt ; Cadet Lane looked flushed and nervous as she taced the audience. Both wore the Army unt- form with no other distinguishing mark. Major Margetts, of St. John, i. who acted as master of ceremonies through- out the evening, opened the proceeoings

soldiers and audience, all standing. Then came prayer by Captain Webb, ot Summer- side, which was followed by more ** around the house ” singing.

After a solo by Captain Webb the Major called for a few testimonies. A youthful cornet player was the first to tell what the Lord had done for him, and several others followed suite--two sometimes starting to- gether. These testimonies were interspers-

ed with solos and choruses, ‘‘ Happy Jack”’ | Jackson favoring the audience with a solo | descriptive of what the Army was doing | for the sinner, accompanying himself on the | banjo, the soldiers and audience joining im

the chorus.

Then there was asolo by Major Margetts, followed by chorus singing and praying, interspersed with testimonies, The Major next made a few remarks complimentary to Brigade Captain Beatty and his intended bride, and read the regulations governing members of the Army who entered the married state. Both having signified their acceptance of these conditions, the marriage ceremony was proceeded with, Rev. J. M. MeLeod, of Zion Church, officiating. The bride was supported by Sergeant Knight, and the groom by Gaptain McLean. The responses were given ina clear voice by both the contracting parties, and at the conclusion of the ceremony they were treated to showers of rice.

Next came prayer, led by Rev. Mr. Me-

Webb, Major Margetts and the bride and groom, When the two latter rose to speak they were recgived with volleys of rice, in the midst of which Major Margetts rose to a point of order, facetiously remarking that if the audience had any rice to spare - they had better send it tothe Home for the bride to make nice things with.

Major Margetts then announced that they intended holding a prayer meeting, and the greater portion of the audience left the Hall.

in addition to the officers and soldiers of the Army in this city, there were present the commanders of the corps in Summer- side, Montague and Gevrgetown, and Majer Margetts, of St. John, Captain Archibald was ‘‘ billed ” to appear, but was unavoidably absent.

The Worcester Arrives,

THE steamer Worcester arrived from Boston at one o'clock this afternoon with a general cargo and the following passeng- ers: Mrs. Jean Young, Miss Annie Young, Mr. Albert Young, Mr. Macdonald, Miss Macdonald, Miss Sarah Macdonald, Martha F. Campbell, Mr. William Bateman, Mr. N.S. McRae, Capt. Trainor, Mr. M. Sul- livan, Mr. D. McKenzie, Mrs. E. J. She- melia.

Captain Nickerson reports that from the time of leaving Boston, at 3 p. m. on Satur- day, they encountered strong easterly gales, heavy sea, fog and rain. The made the passage slow, and, on one occa- sion, while the vessel was being run almost top speed, she made but three knots an hour. She arrived off Halifax on Monday evening, but the fog was su dense that they could not see the length of the vessel. Gu Tuesday they could not hear the whistie at Sambro, and Capt. Nickerson, not desiring to¢ake the risk of going into port with sc many passengers on board until sure of his position, remained beating outside until next morning, when the fog lifted. On Tuesday night they encoun- tered a heavy thunder and lightning storm, accompanied by rain. They left Halifax for this port on Wednesday at nine, and had fine weather and clear sailing during the passage, arriving at one o'clock as above stated.

During the winter the steamer’s ma- chinery was thoroughly overhauled, her saloons newly carpeted and painted, and other iuprovements effected, and sheis now ready for a good summer's work. There are no changes to note in the personell of her officers. Captain Nickerson and Purser Sawyer look as hale and hearty as ever ; and Mr. Davies, the steward, is still ably assisted by Mr. Willie Douse.

The steamer is now being loaded with potatoes, oats, etc., and will sail on return at four o'clock to-morrow morning. We wish her a successful season.

A Montreal despatch says: ‘*‘ A circular from Archbishop Fabre was read in the Catholic Churches in the archdiocese of Montreal Sunday, in which the Archbishop denounced the utterances and communica- tions published in a so-called Catholic daily and weekly paper, with a name that was formerly trustworthy. The papers re- ferred to are supposed to be the Post and True Witness, which have been attacking the papal rescript on the Irish question. The latter journal has an extensive circula- tion in the Maritime Provinces. The writer is denounced as an impious calumniator cof the Holy Father, and parents are warned against reading the papers, and requested keep them out of the liands of their children.

The Reid Drugging Case.

EVIDENCE AT

DEFENCE.

PARTICULARS—THE

CASE FOR THE

FURTHER TRIAL—

THE Tue Reid drugging case, the particulars of which we published yesterday, has created quite a sensation in this city. The court at Denver last week.

Dr. Blickensderfer, who | professionally . Albany drug store, was the first witness for the complainant. He said he found the ‘atient in a stupid condition, but did not | consider him insane. Rather thought he | was suffering from the effects of liquor, |

| | . treated Reid

and had him sent to St. Luke's Hospital. Charles Watson said he first met Reid at the Albany drug store. He came into ithe store in a maudlin condition, as if under the influence of liquor or opium, 'and witness proposed to eject him; but 'Mr. Reid informed him that he could not do it—that he was the man who put up the money for the store. The proprietors of

‘the Capital Hotel sent word that they ' would not have Red staying there. Green|

said they could do nothing with him at ‘home. Witness suggested that they take him to St. Luke’s. Green said he did not care where Reid was taken, but supposed he must be taken care of.

Mr. Givan, the attorney who drew up the documents in connection with the purchase lof the drug store, said the papers were

drawn in Mrs. Reid’s house, and Reid paid the money to him and he passed it to either Green or Brice, he did not remem- | ber which, taking Green’s personal note | for $5,000, the amount of purchase money. | There were papers of co-partnership drawn | up at his office two or three days previous to this, but were never executed. He con- sidured Reid’s physical condition to be about the same as did Dr. Blickensderfer. He drew up the note given by Green.

T. D. Long, who purchased the drag store of Mrs. Reid said he did not have any dealing with Green, but Mrs. Reid told him she purchased the store from Green, and showed witness the bill. The consider- ation named in the bill of sale was $5,000. Mrs. Reid offered to sell the store to him and each furnished a man to invoice the

stock. Afterwards he offered Mrs. Reid |g. 400, which she aecepted, The stock in- voiced between $2,700 and $2,890. The

|

stock was encumbered. Lord, Owen & Co., of Chicago, had a claim of $178, and H. D. Martin, of Denver, $500. Witness

paid these claims, deducting the amount from the’price paid by him to Mrs. Reid.

James M. Butcher (formerly of Charlotte- town) knew the parties to the suit in 1886. Knew Reid several years previously. Frequently saw him during December, 1886, and he was in an extremely nervous condition. Don’t think Reid was quite himself. At the time of the sale of the store by Brice to Green witness was engag- ed to appraise the fixtures. He understood the whole deal from conversations with both Reid and Green. He was a friend to Mr. Reid, and advised him not to buy the drug store; not because he knew nothing about the drug business, but on general

principles. Reid was drinking about this time. Witness gave as his reason for

advising Reid not to buy the store that his (Reid’s) mind was too excited. He also told Reid that while he (witness) was a friend of Green’s yet he would not repose the confidence in him that he (Reid) was reposing:

After one or two other witnesses had been examined, and Mr. Reid had testified that there were no encumbrances onthe store when he purchased it and that he did not put any on it afterwards, the case for the complainant closed.

The case for the defence was then opened. George Austin. sr., was the first witness. He was acquainted with all the parties to the suit. He wasin the drug store one night when the invoice was being taken. Had an opportunity to observe Reid, and discoyered nothing in his conduct to indi- cate that he was in any other than a nor- mal condition mentally.

Mrs. Warner, with whom Reid stopped fora short time, testified that he was not in good health, but his mind was all right.

C. K. Williams, broker, said he first met Reid, in company with Green, in Decem- ber, 1886. He met him at his office. Reid said he wanted to buy in adrug store. Mr. Green introduced him to witness: as his uncle. Witness mentioned the Albany drug The

store. Reid appeared perfectly sane,

| deal was practically consummated at his first call. We talked about other drug stores. Witness received a commission

from Mr. Brice for the sale. Green rather

led the talk about the purchase of the store. Green gave witness to understnnd

that Reid was to furnish the money, and Witness supposed Green was interested as a near relative would naturally be, and would probably be in some way connected with the store. ;

A. H. Austin, drug clerk, said he first met Reid in the summer of 1886 and again in December of the same year. He was clerking in the Windsor drug store then. Reid came in, probably expecting to find Mr. Green there, Green having been em- ployed there when Reid was previously in Denver. He asked all manner of questions about Green. He then said he was_think- ing about gving into business in Denver, and might go into the gents’ furnishing business, and witness asked him why he did not buy a drug store and get Green to help him to run it. He said it was a good idea and he guessed he would do so. He thought he asked him to tell Frank that he wished to seehim. Reid came into the store again and fuund Green there. This was the first meeting between them after Reia’s arrival. Witness heard them talk- ing over the proposition to buy the Albany drug store. Reid was always rational, though not at all times strictly sober. Reid asked witness why Green had left the Windsor store, but he evaded the question. He asked him where Frank was living, and he told him. Xeid came into the store regularly every day, and each time stated that he had not yet met Frank. After the purchase of the Albany store Reid came in and witness asked him how business was. He said he did not pay any attention to business—that he left to Frank.

James A, Buell said that Reid came into | his bakery in December, 1886, and was in- | troduced by Mr Butcher. Witness showed | him the store and hie talked about purchas- jing an interest in she business. He ap- |; peared perfectly sune. | Geo. W. Doyle got acquainted with Reid and Green in the Albany drug store. Saw'! Reid there three or four times a day. He

Mrs. Ann Martin met Reid quite often

She knew, however, that he was in the habit of drinking. ; | Mr. Mitchell said Reid had told him he 'had an interest in that drug store. drank together frequently, ‘the drug store, sometimes in the Albany | bar. ‘drink, but Reid could hold him down. Mrs. Anna Rust testified that Reid had 'a room at her house for about a week, but ‘did not sleep there one night. He came there one morning early, got his baggage, and went away a-flying. Another, quite a small man, came soon after and enquired for Reid and appeared much excited. Wit- ness told him she guessed Mr. Reid must have done something pretty bad to make it necessary for him to get away so fast. She thought Reid was crazy all along.

In the earlier part of the proceedings the defence began throwing out inuendoes against the complainant’s character. Mr. Reid’s counsel objected to this, stating that his client was not on trial. Defendants’ counsel then addressed the court, stating \that Reid should be on trial, and tkst in- stead of a conspiracy between two persons to defraud Reid, there was a conspiracy be- tween three persons,including complainant, to defraud Reid's creditors on Prince Ed- ward Island.
