year’s potato field. He said he saw tracks in his tield as if a wagon had gone to and come from the river, but could not account for its being there. He said he followed the trail ten or fifteen rods. down on the 12th, and the dogs were quict and shut up. Afternoon.

The cross-examination of James Atkinson was resumed this afternoon. He says the body was carried up the bank from the shore and then put in the wagon. thought it would not be prudent to go down the bank with a wagon. From the wound over the eve he said he thought he saw blood and water flowing. Witness did not think he ever saw a wagon driven over a bank with such a fall as the bank where it was said the bedy of McCarthy was put in the river; he thinks if the wagon Was ariven over the banks the tracks would be plain there. He says when there is a storm peo- ple interested jn logs in the river go there at all hours to see about them.

The next witness was

WM. P. WARMAN, who says that he lives three miles from Shediac Station. Has lived there 18 years: knows the Scadouc river well. If the 12th of October last was a stormy day, he re members it on account of the tide interfer- ing with the miil in which witness worked. Here witness describes the position of the rafts onthe river on that day. A little

after daylight on the first working day after}

the stormy day I went down to the river. In coming tothe upper bars at James Atkinson’s I saw wagon tracks which ap- peared to have been only made that morn ing. The wagon seemed to have gone down towards the river and freturned. The di- rection of the tracks would have brought if to a brow where the channel was alongside the shore. We used to roll logs down the bank at this place. The bars were down, but not thrown aside. Never saw them so before. Again that day I saw the same track and traced it towards the river. At this brow the river was clear from lows. That morning the gate opening into far mer Atkinson's field from the lane was slit. A day or two after that, very eariy in the morning, in going towards Shediac with a horse and wagon, when within 100 yards of the railway snow fence, | saw a wagon without a horse attached to it at the roadside with a boy lying im the seat with his feet out on one side. tle had on light pants and a rubber on one fout and a shve on the other. Would say he was about 16 years old. [| never saw him be- fore. Don’t think it was the prisoner Harry. ‘The wagon was old. [ saw a man and a horse, the latter with harness on, at some distance, travelling towards the brow before spoken of as where the wagon track led to. The horse was of a dark sorrel color, one hind foot white and white star on his forehead. ‘The animal would weigh about ten hundred. The man was leading the horse. I never saw the man before to my recollection. It was not any of Atkin- son’s men or his horse. The fence at the wagon was down in such a way as to allow the horse room only to pass. Dead dogs are often seen in the Scadouc River. Saw one black fellow this spring very much putrified with its hair falling off. This was near the railway bridge. The hair on this dog was from one inch to 2 inches long.

Cross-examined by Mr. Palmer—Between the place where I saw the track and the river there was a log fence which would take Harry some time to open soas to make way for a wagon. At farmer Atkinson’s shore I saw no signs of tracks, or the fence being knocked down.

The Court adjourned at 6 p. m., to meet azain on Monday at 10 a. m.

This afternoon Annie Parker who has not put in an appearance since being iden- tified by her father, came in at four o’clock. She had on a bran new dress, and moves in and out of the Court House with the air of

one whose birth and connection would com-

pare favorably with the fairest in the land.

A Fact Not to be Forgotten.

REFERRING to Senator Howlan’s letter to the Examiner the Progress remarks :—

“Mr. Howlan omits to refer to in the fore- going letter, but which we think is worthy of notice, viz., that while Senator Howlan was canvassing his friends in the Senate to vote against the obnoxious clause in the Electoral bill, Mr. Peter Sinclair was can- vassing equally hard in its favor and did all in his power to induce a majority of the Senate to vote for it. This fact should also be borne in mind.”

Tea Duties.

The Hon. Isaac Burpee, Minister of Customs, is now here trying to defend the present scale of duties upon tea by the spe- cious and taking assertion that the ‘‘ poor man ”’ gets a better kind of tea for the same price, under the operation of his Govern- ment’s tariff, than he used to get. We all know better than that, to our cost. As to the effect upon the trade of the country, the Toronto Mail shows what that is pretty clearly : ‘‘ For the year ending 30th June, 1874, or the year in which the duty dis- eriminating in favor of direct importations was in force, only 16 per cent. of our tea imports came through the United States, and the direct trade was 52 per cent. Last year the direct trade was 35 per cent.. and importations from the United States 75 per cent. The American tea men are enthusias tically in favor of Mr. Cartwright.—\St. John Sun.

Tue contest in Ward 5 was lively. In the other wards it was dull. The candi- dature of Mr. Ings in Ward 1 was not so well sustained as he was led to expect. Several gentlemen who signed the requisi- tion which induced him to allow himself to be put in nomination, voted against him on the ground that when they signed it they were unaware that Mr. Thomas Morris would again consent to serve in the City ‘The contest was, however, pretty

Professor Allison on the Battle of Gettysburg.

Proressor ALLIson’s brilliant and thrill- ing lecture on the battle of Gettysburg was not heard by so many of the citizens of Charlottetown as, we venture to predict, will this evening hear his lecture on the Yo-semite Valley. The Professor first gave a vivid description of the conditions under which the armies of the North and of the South engaged. Then he proceeded to nar-

scenes of blood and bravery which marked the three terrible July days, during which the battle raged—the dread pauses broken by furious cannonades—the charges in the valley—the dreadful slaughter in the hickory woods—the affecting episodes incident to battle—the solemn council of war of the Northern generals at the end of the second day’s battle, the sublime. determination of

and hand-to hand conflict, the final rout of the Confederates proclaimed by the vic- torious shout of the Northern soldiery, “the victory is ours.” Professor Allison did not forget to do justice to the brave men of the Maritime Provinces who were en- gaged in the dreadful fight. Nor did he

to virtues of Great Britaim’s Premier and Britain’s Queen. Of the lecture to be delivered this evening, an exchange says:—

‘*The illustrations were almost life-like, and with true poetic beauty and grandeur of expression the lecturer fairly enchained

his audience whil2 describing the falls of the Yo-Semite.”’

has given the Ministerialist newspapers oc- | casion for much rejoiciag. The facts, how- |

yer, indicate , ecial thanks- | ever, indicate no cause for spectal the |

giving by our Grit friends. They are thus

stated by the Montreal Gazette +

‘‘A statement in our telegraphic news yesterday informed us that the election for Drummond and Arthabaska had been de- clared void, and Mr. Bourbeau, the sitting member, had been unseated. he facts of this case are, that after the election last year, a petition was presented against Mr. Bourbeau, and a counter petition against Mr. Laurier, in which the disqualification of the latter was prayed for. The usual preliminary objections were filed against both petitions, and the matter rested, nothing being done to press the case. With- in the last few days, the case came up for argument, and Mr. J ustice Plamondon be- ing judge, the preliminary objections pre- sented in the case of Mr. Bourbeau were rejected, and, those on behalf of Mr. Laurier were sustained. Under these circumstances Mr. Bourbeau, in order to avoid the ex- pense and loss of time to his friends of a contest before the courts, which, in view of the approaching dissolution of Parliament, would be perfectly useless, made the usual declaration that he had been informed that some of his friends, without his knowledge or consent, had been unwittingly guilty of a violation of the election law, and con- sented to the voiding of the election. This declaration was accepted by the other side, and hence the decision which was an- nounced in our columns yesterday. A con- test inthe courts over the seat, at this tine, would have been an absurd proceed, ing, and Mr. Bourbeau, therefore, acted the wiser part in consenting to the annull- ing of the election. There is, of course, no disqualification involved in this, and our information from the County is that he will be re-elected by a gor vd majority.”

tite British Columbia.

In the speech of the Lieut. Governor of British Columbia, we read :—

‘‘l regret to say that the railway question is stillin a very unsatisfactory condition. © By the advice of my Ministers shortly after they assumed office, a telegram, followed by a des- patch, was sent to the Secretary of State, strongly protesting against the steel rails being used or removed for purposes other than those for which they were designed when landed on the island in 1875. To this despatch | have received no reply. In considering these and other railway papers, which will be laid before you, | would remind you that the time has come when delay inthe construction of the work, both on the mainland or the island, can no longer be justified. It is, therefore, incum- bent upon us: to take measures much more decisive than the mere entry of protests, which, however firm and just, have een syste- matically disregarded by the Governinent of the Dominion.”

Reform is marching on in that direction.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Srtr,—The Patriot man refers to an assault made on Dr. Fraser,on the night of the meet- ing,unprovoked. But, by what I have heard, it was well merited; and I can tell the Patriot, that we know of a far more brutal assault, com- mitted with a black bottle at the Head of the Bay, a short time ago, by one of the party of Purity.

Yours, &c., ELECTOR.

St. Peter's, Aug 3.

[Considering the circumstances, we think the reference of the ‘‘ Patriot” to the as- saulton Dr. Fraser, is exceedingly bad taste. The less said by the partizans of Dr. Fraser, the better. A man who deliberately makes hinself very offensive, should be prepared to defend himself or take the consequences of his words and acts in silence.—Eprror EXAMINER. |
