THE DAILY EXAMINER.

OCTOBER 25, 1838,

The Sheiburne Election. Cur triumph of the Government candi date is now so much a matter of course that one almost forgets to make a note of it.

Even so vreat a triumph as the re-election

of General Laurier in Shelburne, despite

the combined efforts of all the local Grits

Premier Fielding, In person, does not ar It is felt that the

The continual additions which are being made to the Liberal Conservative party in Shelburne are, however, worthy of remark ; for they are typical of a change of opinion on the part of Libera!s all over the country. Shelburne was, a few years ago, considered to be one of the most hard and fast Grit counties in Nova Thus in 1874 the Grit

Some persons are making enquiries as to

the cause of this great change. It appears

that throughout the campaign the cry of Mr. Fielding and his followers was ‘‘ an- down with the

restricted reciprocity and

national policy,” and it is stated that ** the Grits put forth every effort” in support of their Ooinions—ali parts of Nova Scotia and

the fishing ports of New England ‘ were searched for Grit voters;’’ money, too, was not wanting —** the local Grit manager hac ample funds.” Nevertheless, a majority of the e'ectors of She!burne declared agains! unrestricted reciprocity—aguainst a_ policy under which the industrial and commercia: interests of Canada would be placed at th: mercy of the gentlemen of the Senate anc House of Representatives of the United States | 1

Savings Banks.

There is a genie ral co

Taz Toronto Globe disputes the correct- ness Of the statement made by Mr. leau,

Chap- in a late speech, that it was in the interest of the working man the govern- ment refused to lower the rate of interest im the Savings Banks. The Globesays very few of the working men deposit in the Savings Banks. It was for the special benefit of the industrial classes and that our were established.

smali depositors generally, Savings as ™ .. shi banks It is possible, while the regulation wasin force allowing that of meuns may, to some extent, have utiliz-

ed the Savings Banks ; but that class of de-

one person to deposit 33000, people

pusilors has been completely shut out by

the order in council passed a year or two

ago, limiting the depositor to $300. The object the Government had in view, in

passing that order in council, was to pre- rent rch people from using the

Sunks

Savings That the object was secured is shown by the fact that a falling off of about

#1,250,000 in the deposits took place last}

year. ‘To show that there is no ground for the

charge made against the Government, oi preventing the chartered banks from getting money enough, by keeping up the Savings Banks rate, we have only to refer to this heavy falling offin the Savings Bank de- posits last while the chartered banks had more money than they could use to advantage in Canada, and were obliged to invest in foreign securities as the Globe shows, to the extent of several millions. Under the present stringent regulations the Savings Banks can be used only for the encouragement of thrift among our people

and the convenience of smal] de- positers, for whom Savings Banks were originally founded. As we have just shown, their doors have been

closed against rich men and speculators. tie couartered banks have, therefore, noth. tag to fear from them.

Francis TRAIL (sworn)—To Mr. Hodg eon--{ am a brakeman on the Island Rail- vay. Left Summerside at 5.45 (Standard) on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 16th Uetober, inat., going West. ‘There were .bout thirieen or fourteen cars on the train When we were getting near Richmond Station I saw that Conductor Ryan was saving some trouble about the tickets. The nen he had the trouble with were Cor- telius Macdonald and John McAtee. When ve got to Richmond I went in to take Me- .tee off the train, because he was drunk nd this was his. station. McAtee had Cornelius Macdonald helped ne to take MeAttee off the train. Me- \ttee said there was not a of a eon- iuctor or brakeman could take him off the rain. Corneius Macdonald, previous » this, broke several flasks inthe car mmongthe women. The flasks were empty. aere was no other disturbsace on the rain. McAttee held on tothe steve and loor when we were trying to get him off. 2 chmond was his station. I saw McAttee rive his ticket ei her to Conductor Ryan or duuro. When we pulled McAttee off the rain he made a blow at me. I defended uvself. They knocked me down. Du- raid Macdonald and MecAttee were drunk. Dougald Macdonald knocked me down a

me down and kicked me. m the leg and head, making lumps on my} head and black marks on my ley. Bruce Gariow got me clear of the crowd. When { got clear | ran for the train. The train had backed down some five or six yards. Yugeld Macdouald ran after me and caught me by the throat, aud hit me on the nose

snd lip, giving me two black eyes. Some one asked him to let me go. He said,

‘ The crowd this time and I got ‘ear. One of the McPhees ran after me und kicked me on the thigh, kaocking me cross the railway track. The train was a yard oc two from me at the time. When | got to Tignish | examined ny leg aud round it badly swollen. Next day it was vlack and blue.

Neither did I see Dugald Macdouald or the others of the party till then. We were all strangers till that night. There was no reason why there should hav: been an assault. There were between 200 snd 300 passengers on the train that night. There were about 20 people at Richmond station when we vot there. 1 don’t know the names of any of those who were there

I did not see Dugald Macdonald on the train. [ cannot identify Joseph Allen McPhee as one of those who assaulted me. I know it was a McPhee however. The train was stopped when I tried to put Mc- Atee off. I am certain McAtee struck me after we had got onthe platform. Corne- lius Macdonald and one of the McPhee’s then rushed at me. I think it was Macdon- ald that struck me, because he was the nearest tome. Dougald Macdonald then came over and caught hold of me. I never saw him before. IL know him, because I heard sumeone cali him by name. He held ae fur about ten minutes, knocking me lown, and the rest kicked ine. It was one if the MePhee’s and MeAtte and Cornelius Macdonald that kicked me. I told the crowd, after I had been struck, that I could tight any manjif he would stand off square

Shortly after I said this, big Maedynald caught ho'd of me. I cannot say that Peter MacDonald was there; but Barlow said he was. :

To Mr. Hodgson—-When the crowd were about me, I heard some one ask Cofnelius Macdonald if he was taking the brakéman’s part, and he said: ‘* No, kill the baupzer,” or something like that. i

Wittram McTacvue, (sworn) — } Mr. Hodgson—lI sive a> Tignish and I anf-an as sistaut in the freight house there. 1 was in Summerside va Exhibition day, When the train reached Richmond, on return’ from the Exhibition I got off to walk about while the train was waiting. I saw Trail and another man trying tu get a man out of the ear. The man resisted; but they succeeded itt getting him off. When they got tne inan off he made a kick at Trail and then made a race at him to strike him. The man was low-sized. I did not see the man who was assisting Trail afterwards. Trail was in the middie of a crowd. The crowd were all inaclinch. 1 could not make out what they were saying. Aiter Trail got clear some of the men made after him. 1 heard him tell then: to stand back, that he could beat any man if they would give him afairshow. They then made arash for Trail. 1 thought they wanted to beat him. lL went and got Praught. When Praughc and I got back I heard one of the crowd say, **Give it to him; he’s alone.” I[ saw blood on Traii’s face. The row lested about twenty minutes.

To Mr. Peters—I never saw any of the men before, and I am not prepared to identify them. The man taken from the train had his coat off. There was a- big crowd at the station. It was pretty hard to tell who was hitting or who was not. 1 had no row with aay person. Iam positive there were no other train hands but Praught and Trail in the row. :

After McAtce was taken off some of the crowd ran up toTraill, Dugald Mac- | donald was there, also Viectorinus McPhee, Felix Macdonald, and the prisoner McAttee. The men I have mentioned caught Traill. McAtee made a kick at him, but I think he missed him. They then hauled Traill | down and kicked him. [also saw Joseph \llen McPhee in the crowd ; but did not see him doanything. 1 heard Traill say that if he had fair play he would bex any of them. I then heard some one say, ‘* choke the lsaw some of the crowd haul Traill off the platform. Victori- nus MePhee, Joseph Allen McPhee and Dugald McPhee were among those who had hold of Traill and pulled him off the plat- form. I caught Traill by the arm, but Victorinus McPhee, Joseph Allan McPhee and Felix Macdonald hauled him away. Then there was the second row, It was hard to tell who was striking. During the tight I heard Dugald Macdonald say, ‘give tto him.” Iheard some others of the srowd shout out. I think I heard Joseph Allen McPhee say, ‘‘choke the buggar.” After the fight I heard Victoriuus McPhee say, ** We gave them a good beating.” On the way up from Summerside I heard Me- Attee say he would give Conductor Ryan ‘hell to eat” when he got to Richmond.

fo Mr. Peters. —I dv not remember see- ing Corne!ius Macdonald there that even- wg. I don’t think Trai! is right ‘when he says L took Cornelius Macdonald off him during the row. Joseph Allan McPhee had ho'd of Trail. . Lsuppose he had hold of him to give him a choking too. McAttee is a tailor bytrade. He lives at Richmond, and | think he is a quiet sort of aman. I saw him make a blow at Trail after being tuken off the train, but did not see him do anything afterwards. I saw Peter Mac. donald on the platform. As soon as he got vif the train he disappeared, He was not in the row so far as I could see.

Court resumed at 2.15.

CarHERINE McArrerx (sworn)—'To Mr. Peters—] am sister of the prisoner, John McAttee. I was at the Summerside exhibi- tion and returned home by train the same evening. Peter Macdonald was in the train with me. He was sober. He and I got out of the train together at Richmend Station. The two of us walked up to my brother's house as soon as we got off. We went into the house. After staying there some time, the two of us went back to the station. The train had just left when we got there. We saw nothing of the row at tho station, It must have taken place when Peter and | were together at the house Chere was no ruw at the station when we lett it.

To Mr. Hodgson--My brother John was in the train with us. Hehad been drink ing. [do notknow that he objected to leaving the train. I heard the people talking about fche row. My brother said something about there being a row between the brakeman and some other persons. | heard Victorinus McPhee say something about the row, He said it at our place. I will not swear that my brother was} not present during the conversation. I heard my brother say that the brakeman tried to put him offthe train. He said he did not do anything to Traill ; but that one of the McPhee’s had struck him. I think he said it was Victorinus McPhee that struck Traill.

To Mr. Peters—My brother told me he did not strike Trail. I did not pay any attention to the conversation abvut the row and cannot remember anything that was said.

The investigation is still going on. Peter McDonald has been discharged for lack of evidence against him.

Vaulting Match

AN INTERESTING CONTEST.

Aout two hundred people attended the vaulting match at the drill shed last even- ing, for the championship of the Maritime Provinces,

The spectators were mostly well dressed young men, and the best of order was maintained. The contestants were James MeEachern, of Charlottetown, and Marcus Henderson of Ciyde River. MeEachern is vf medium height, weighing about one hundred and eighty pouads, and when he prepared for work presented a splendid physique. He appeared to be in the pink of condition and lovked confident. Hen- derson is a taller man, but weighing some- thing less, and looked strong and wiry, but a trifle shy and nervous.

McKachern led off, and his beautiful vaulting showed skill and training. Hen- derson foNowed his opponent over the bar with apparent ease, but after three or four trials carried it with him; and in his subse- quent efforts showed the lack of traming which he failed to attend to for the ocea- sion. He carried the bar with him three times in succession, thus losing the battle. After the championship was decided the vaulting was continued, when, to the sur- prise of the spectators, Henderson, who by this time become used to the ground, fol- lowed his victorious rival over the bar every time, and while the exhibition lasted proved himself fully equal to the champion. After the bar went up, between nine and ten feet the men decided to jump bo more, and the proceedings closed.

The performance was really attractive, and if the men, who, no doubt, are very equally matched, meet again, with Hen- derson better trained, on the ground, a contest will take place worth secing.
