THe trial of Mullin for the killing of Hub- bard was commenced at Newcastle, N. B., on Wednesday last. Mr. Gregory, of Frederic- ton, was counsel for the Crown; Adams and Lawlor for prisoner. The counsel for the defence did not bring forward any evidence, believing that the prosecution had fully bronght out the points favorable to the prisoner. Judge Weldon charged the jury at the close of the case, stating that the evidence had reduced the crime from murder to man- slaughter.

Geo. Goprarey, “champion” colored pugilist of New England, formerly of Charlottetown, but now of Boston, feels agrieved at certain statements made by Chas. Kilrain, another ‘champion;’ he therefore publishes a chal. lenge in which he intimates his readiness to w ve Kilrain an opportunity of knocking him
t for any sum that may be matually agreed upon. Keenw, Kilrain’s backer, indulges in some tall talk concerning Godfrey’s backing out of several matches, and says he is prepared to put up any part of $1,000 that Kilrain car beat Godfrey in six rounds. As the admirers of both parties are anxious for the ‘‘mill,” a meeting of the ‘‘champions” will likely take
place soon. on —— _
Sucar is again lower in Boston and in Eng- land. The decline in Boston is 1-}6c. on cargoes of Cuban sugars. The consumer of engar may congratulate himself on getting sugar for which ths grower is paid less than at any time for the past forty years. There is nothing new with regard to supplies, but stocks in the four ports are 91,104 tons against 50,454 in 1883. The decline is due to the absence of speculation. Purchasers are re- stricted entirely to the necessities of the trade, while at this season the West Indian sugars coue to market very greatly in excess of the daily necessities. The situation in Cuba is unchanged either for better or worse. — Boston paper.

At least one thousand persons assembled on the ice at Alberton, on the 3ist alt., to wit- ness a trot between the two stallions King Bird, owned by Mr. J. H. B. Cail and Mr. McKinnon’s Bush Messenger, of Lot 14. The resuilt of this match was auother illustration of the maxim that ‘‘the race is not always to the swift,” as notwithstanding that Bash won in three straight heats, the almost unanimous opinion was that with good ice the other horse was the speediest. Mr. McKinnon, however, acted in a very manly and plucky manner in coming so far to meet his opponent, and deserved the money which he carried away. Probably there never were so many people assembled on the Island to witness a race amorg whom such good order was maintained. — Pioneer.

Rarway Jorrrses.—We are again remind- ed of the inconvenience, if not tmjastice, to travellers caused by return tickets not being issued except at regular stations. Some time ago we fully explained the ‘‘how and why’ of this matter, and, at present, it is needless to enter into details, As the Superintendent has shown himself willing and anxious to do all in his power to accommodate the travelling publie, we expect to see the grievance in question rectitied before long. While on the subject we may say that it would be very desirable wien the summer ar- rangement comes in force to increase the speed of the accommodation train between here and Charlottetown. The present time between the two places is 3.15; last summer it was 330. Some whose opinion on these matters ia worthy of regard, consider the latter time unnecessarily long by at least the odd minutes. Of course till frost is out and the track settled it would be unwise to aim at more speed.—

Who will be the next President ? is the all- absorbing question in the United States. Youngstown, Ohio, had a primary election the other day, and some thoughtful patriot suggested that it would be a good idea to ascertain who is the chvice of the Republicans 1p that town for President. And with what result? When the vote was counted James Blaine’s name lead all the rest. In fact, all other candidates were distanced. Here is the yote: For Blaine, 1,516; Lincoln, 33; Ed- munds, 17; Logan, 15; Arthur, 14; General Sherman, 14; Joho Sherman, 10; Grant, 5; Conkling, 1.

A series of burglaries were committed in this city last night. The firat brought to our notice was ip the store of Mr, Benjamin Hooper, Malpeque Road. The lock on the side door was removed, and the burglars thus gained entrance. They carried off a lot of groceries, and sixty cents, the only cash left in the till. They were disturbed and left hurriedly, leaving behind a quantity of the goods which they took from the store. ' The dwelling house of John Newson, Esq., was also entered, and a quantity of coal car- ried off. The parties were tracked a short distance towards the east end. * The grocery store of Mr. W. M. Coffin, on Grafton Street, east, and the dwelling house of Mrs. Morgan and Mr. McDonald, on Weymouth Street, were also broken into. These facts show that a number of burglars are at large in the city, and it behooves the police and citizens to have a sharp lock out for them.

FREDERICTON was treated to a genuine sensation last week, and the event has been the talk of the town. Miss May Gregory, a young lady of seventeen years, daughter of the late Dr. Gregory, left her home on the evening of the 27th ult. Her mother, on going to her daughter's room, found a note stating that she had gone to be married. It was subsequently learved that she had been driven to, Fredericton Junction by Mr. Frederick Straton and had taken the night train for St. Stephen. Mrs. Gregory left im- mediately for St. Stephen to meet her daughter, It is detinitely know that Mr. E. H. Allen, to whom she was engaged, is the bridegroom. Miss (iregory is a very brilliant and attractive young lady with hosts of friends. An amusing incident in connection with the occurrence was the stopping of a St. John M. P, PB, who was on his way to Senator Wark's, and the searching of his coach for the missing damsal, It is needless to say that she was not there. The youthful pair were married on Friday at Woodstock.

A Buvsu.—The Moncton Transcript, said to be a reliable Grit newspaper, treats its readers to the following story. Like the Transcript’s political articles, it requires to be taken with many grains of salt: “A Richi- bucto girl who went to the yate after dark to meet her beau, met a bear by mistake, and the bear, after the manner of bears in assailing human beings, preceeded to hug her, and ~ murmured, ‘‘Uh, John; you te just splendid?! and gave the beara hug in return that nearly broke his back, and the mistake so embarraes- ed the bear that he was all broke up and got away from the girl and made for the woo . blushing like a schoolboy, while she was 4 at being left, and yelled at him to know . y he was crawling off on all fours, And 7 en the real lover showed up there was war til > explanation was made, and then the gir! blushed to think she had given hersel [ pn to some other fellow, and the lover swore oe . kill the other fellow, and got @ lantern to Joo a: this tracks, and found a bear had been a tuken for bim, and then he Wiushed, and there was a blush all roand.”

O'Kelly, M. P., and El Mahdi.
A cablegram to the World says: James J. O'Kelly, formerly a well-known Ameri- can newspaper correspondent, and at pres- ent Home Rule member for Recommon, Ireland, has been declared an cutlaw by several bodies of politicians, both Tory and Liberal. A movement is being organized to have him expelled from parliament, be- cause of his alleged treasonable actions against the British Government in the Soudan. O'Kelly disappeared early in December last, an nothing was heard of him until January 5. At the latter datea letter appeared in the London newspapers over his signature, dated Assioot, and containing a bitter attack upon the Govern- ment’s policy in the Soudan, and the most gloomy forebodings concerning its outcome. On March 19, O'Kelly was reported to be with El Mahdi as a counsellor in high favor with the false prophet. It was claimed
by his friends that his sole busi- ness at El Madhi’s headquarters was that of war correspondent for
the London Daily News, having engaged to take the place of Edmund O’Donoven, who was killed while acting in the same capacity under Hicks Pasha at El Obeid. For some time, however, rumor have been in cirenlation that O’Kelly’s oftice of cor- respondent has been assumed for the purpose of hiding his real mission, which is alleged to be nothing less than British adviser toE! Mahdi and agent in his interest for the Irish revolutionits. It is claimed that it can be proven that O'Kelly has been of great assistance to the prophet in pro- curing him means and military help, and it is asserted that the resent movement among the Roscommon home rulers, ostensibly to raise a large subsoription as a testimonial to O'Kelly, was in reality a financial enter- prise in the interest of El Mahdi’s treasury. The majority of the Irish home rulers are known to sympathize with the Soud.nese, and it would surprise no one if the anti- Parnelites should resort to extreme measures to secure a decree against O'Kelly as amesns of fastening his alleged overt acts upon the Jrish nationalists.
