Mr Tintey then took up the public ex- penditure, showing that an average expen- diture of $22,400,000 all that was necessary, and the expenditure ought to have been kept within that, instead of an average, as it has been, of $24,000,000. The policy of the Opposition was ‘NOT INCREASED YAXATION as it had been stated by their op- ponents, but a readjustinent of the tariff and REDUCED EXPENDITURES. These were the planks in their platform, together with encouragement to our manufacturing industries; ship’s materials, raw materials, machinery not made in the country free; 15 PERCENT. onnon-enumerated articles; and an inerease of the tariff onsucharticles as we can produce in the country, giving employ- ment to our people and aHOME MARKET FOR OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE.

Messrs. McKenzie CARTWRIGHT arrive at Georgetown this evening. They come at an opportune seascn of the year. They will see what a fine place the Island is for gentlemen of Icisure ; and next year, while in the shades of Opposition, they will have ample time to enjoy its gentle cooling breezes and spend some of their surplus cash among its people.

AND

Tie opponents of the Government in this Province are anxious to have a discussion with Messrs. McKenzie and Cartwright. Unfortunately, the suddeness of the Minis- ters arrival has prevented them for securing the presence here of Dr. Tupper and Mr. Tilley. Messrs Pope and Brecken will, however, be prepared to appear on behalf of the Opposition; and it is to be hoped that an arrangement may be made under which both sides of the questions of the day will he presented tu the assembled electors.

Should such an arrangemenf be made, the Ministers will, of course, have a decided ad- vantage in the discussion. ‘The intimacy with political facts.necessaniieresulting from the pewasion of office ought certainly to more than counteract the broader, more statesmanlike views of Mr. Pope and the superior eloquence of Mr. Brecken. Still, the Opposition would rather labor under a disadvantage than lose the opportunity of a political encounter.

We notice that a platforin is being erected on Queen Square. We hope the Minister- ialists will not object to aecord to the Oppo- sition the privilege of, alternately with the Ministers, addressing the electors from it.

»y referring to page 200 ef, the Publie Works Report for last year~1t wiil be seen that Mr-rydges’ salary is $8,000, and by examining the accounts on pages 160-162 it will appear that this is a part of the general working expenses of the road for the year. Now turn to the Public Accounts for last

Murray Uarbor District Notes.

McFadyen is canvassing quite briskly, but with no suecess—McDonald and Mut- tart is the ery.

MeDonald and Muttart will have the solid vote of Montague, Brown’s Creek, Valley- field, Brooklyn and Sturgeon.

At Murray Harbor North and South Me Donald and Muttart will lead the poll. McDonald and Muttart will lead at all the polls in the county but one.

It is currently reported that McFadyen was canvassing in Brown’s Creek, and that for sufficient reasons he lost the few votes he got there.

MeIntyreYand McFadyen are the repre- sentatives of the ‘Organized Hypocrisy.” The electors wish to know from them, are we going to have Canada for Canadians or for Americans !

The electors wish to have it for Canadians, consequently they will vote for McDonald and Muttart.

The quiet settlement of»Cape Traverse was very much startled, on the morning of the 15th, on hearing that on the night of the 14th, three young men returning from Summerside were, while in their wagon, fired into and wounded, one young man seriously. . The facts of the case are-these : three young men belonging to three of the best families in Cape Traverse and Tryon, nained respectively, George “Clark, John Irving, and Frank He¢fiand, were returning from

THE KELLY MURDER.

Proceedings at the Inquest.

}

HWvidence of the Schooner’s Crew.

‘The inquest was restumed at 10:50 o'clock to-day upon the arrival of the prisoners

from the jail. Much interest is manifested

in the case; and until the adjournment at one o'clock the court was literally packed with spectators of all classes. A great deal of sympathy is felt for the prisoners and their parents.

The first witness called was

Pius McKinnon, sworn : Tam cook and steward on board the schooner on which the prisoner was found. On Thursday about 7 o'clock in the morning the prisoner John- ston came on board the schooner Maria Catherine. (Identitied the prisoner Johston.) He went into the Cabin. His father was there and he told him to come on deck. He said he would net. I knew he was in trouble ; and T asked him what was the matter. He said they were after him for murder, and that he shot a man dead last night. I cannot be sure whether it was last night or the night before. The Captain then told me to get some quilts, and put them in the run aft for him to stow away, I did so, and the captain told me if I would take care of him I would be rewarded. ‘The prisoner then went and stowed away. | came ashore that day ; and thatnight I had some words with the mate. I met his father (Johnston’s) as | was going ashore, and he told me if I would take care of the boy and get him clear all right, [ would be rewarded for it. I went ashore and saw the city marshall ; yand informed him that the board. I

pistol with Johnston when he went on board. first place he was hid; and went into the hold. I heard no conversation between this man and the Marshal.

To Mr. Hodgson.—L was drunk when I went to the Marshal. I got some money from the young man to buy someeatables. I bought them, and then borrowed fifty cents from the young man with which I got drunk. Iam a_ native of this Island. I was in England, and was arrested on sus- picion for murder, ‘They said I murdered a woman. I was not tried for that mur- der.

Mr. Hodgson here asked the witness if he asked for any money from the police.

Witness did not answer.

day.

s . : . , . » st Kdward Strain; sworn: I am in the em

ploy of Mr. Stumbles, at the livery stables. On Wednesday night last a man came and asked me for a wagon

[ gave him a wagon.

[It had been a buggy. ‘The top was taken off. It wasa box wagon. The box was about four and a half inches high. The wagon was about three and a half feet long. The seat was nearer the back than the front. I cannot tell who returned the wagon. I was not there when it was returned. James McAleer and Archibald McDougall were there when it was returned. It was not re- turned to my knowledge up to a quarter to twelve o’clock that night. It might have been returned without me knowing. It was an old Island-made buggy. 1 varnished it black this spring. 1 saw the wagon after it teft the yard. Millner’s horse was in it, The horse is black. I saw James Millner, driving past Godkin’s pump. He was on the right hand side. Mat Curran was with himat the time. I cannot be sure about the time I saw them. It was between eight and nine o'clock. I saw the wagon at seven o'clock next morning in the yard.

To’ Mr. Palmer—I saw lots of wagons dviving that night with two persons in them. The wagon seat is further back than front.

Hugh McGonnell sworn: I am a_police- man. About 20 minutes to ten on Wed- nesday night, I was on Pownal Street beat, and there were two men told me there was a man shot in the bog. TI went down, and found Kelly lying in bed shot, A man named Evans or Hackett told me that Mrs. Chivarie was driving with the persons that fired the shots. I then went and arrested tose Chivarie and brought her to the Sta- tion. I then arrested Suse Ingles. I heard in the bog that Millner’s horse was in the bog at the time. I then went to Millner’s to see the horse. When I went in the yard, James Millner opened a window upstairs, and asked who was there. I asked him if there was a wagon came in their, and he said their was oue came in about an houe before that. There was two wagons in the yard then—a light wagon and an express wagon. I asked him to let me in the stable, and he told me the door was locked. There was fresh tracks of a wagon going into the yard. They were%the tracks of the light wagon. I saw tracks in the Bog where the wagon was turned. They were very like the tracks of the light wagon that is at present in the station. The wagon at present at the station is the one which was in Milner’s yard on Wednesday night. To Mr. Palmer —Three quarters of an hour elapsed between the time I saw Kelly lying in his house and Millner with his head out of the win- dow. {could not tell what time elapsed between the first and last time I saw Kelly. It is the same wagon we saw in Millner’s

for James Millner.

While in the act of doing so Mayhew discharged his gum full in his face, injuring him very seriously, and it is feared fatally; the other young men received less injury, their backs being to the enemy. The young man Irving was wounded in the cheek— Holland escaping with a hole through his ear. The young man Clarke was suffering fearfully last evening ; will lose the sight of one eye, and be otherwise marked and maimed for life.

The sympathies of the public, and especi- pally these of the writer, are with our old, true, and tried neighbors, Isaac Clatk, Esq., wife and family, in their great troubles— the second one they were called on to pass through this season.

| Mayhew was arrested yesterday morning ‘and there being suflicient evidence, he was commttted to Summerside jail to be tried by due course of law.

Licur. Cuartes Jenkins, R. N,,—son of our venerable and respected Librarian, the Rev. Dr. Jenkins,—has been among us for some weeks, on a Visit to his many friends. We hope he enjoys his furlough. —S. Carpenter, Esq., General Eastern Passenger Agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, is also on tle Island, and enjoying the fresh air of the ‘*~: iside ” at Rustico. S.

Mr. Carpenter is delighted with ‘little ” Prince Edward Island, and and as he is a ** good fellow ” himself, we are sure it will not lose anything by his visit. No. 526 Broadway, New York City, will find him when at home.

Tre threatened rain this morning caused large numbers who intended to go by train to the political pienic at Tracadie to stay at home. A good many, however, afterwards went in wagons. We have no doubt a pleasant time was spent,

To Mr. Hodgson—1 could not tell whether Me- Kinnon was drunk, but he was in liquor that day. He got cross withme that evening because [ would not let him fight with one of the crew.

Vincent Saulnier, sworn: [ am one of the erew of the schooner Mavia Catherine. 1 was on board of the schooner all day on Thursday. I went ashore for about fifteen minutes on Thursday night. I went to bed about nine o'clock on Thursday night and did not hear anything during the night 1 did not know there was anyone on beard stowed away on Thursday night. I knew it on Friday morning, when a lot of boys caine on board and asked me where they got the boy. I did not show them, for I did not know. “The captain nor no other person said anything to me about a person been stowedaway. The police were looking for a person several times on Thursday on board the vessel. I heard of a person being shot on Thursday afternoon. I told the rest of the crew about it. They did not hear about it till I told them. I am not in

The witness said he had no distinct marks but he would swear it was the same wagon. Richard Keating, sworn: Was on beat on Wednesday night in company with oflicer McGonnell. About ten o'clock we were at Longworth’s corner on Pownal Street. While there we were informed that there was a man shot inthe Bog. We went down and saw Kelly lying on his bed. Charles Hacket told us that Rose Cheverie was in the wagon with the men who fired the

shot. We arrested Mrs. Cheverie, and on her way to the station’ she told us that she was not talking nor

driving with the men. We left her in the station, and when we returned to the Bog, Kelly was dead. We then arrested Suse Inglis, and when we were going to the station she told us that Mrs. Chiverie was talking to the men in the wagon for twenty minutes. Dave Inglis came running after us and said Suse was not with them and he could clear her. When we were in the Bog the last time we heard that Millner’s horse had passed through after the shots were fired. We went up to Millner’s and found afeesh wagon track into the yard. We looked around the yard and found the stable locked. While there James Millner opened and put his head out of a window and asked who was there. We told him we were police. Just then I heard some noise similar to the cocking of a revolver in the window where Millner was. We asked him if there was a horse and wagon came in the yard. He said there was an express wagon came in about an hour and a half ago. Yesterday morning when I camein the Station, Millner told me he had a revolver cocked at the time he put his head out of the window the night before. IT examined the tracks going into the yard. The tyer of the wagon was pretty well worn, and the horse was smooth shod, The forward corks were worn off.

W. H. Mitchell sworn: About twenty minutes past nine, [ was turning Johnston’s corner on Pownal and Euston Streets, I met a horse and wagon driving down Pow- nal Street, and turned Euston Street to- wards Black Sam’s Bridge.
