ASUORD OF THe COURT ‘Another Elevator Disqualified,

Orrawa, (Ont.) Jan. 13.

The court gave judgment to-day dis- qualifing Mr. Parvell, the Opposition member for Glengarry, on account of |personal bribery; and the Judge has ordered criminal proceedings to be taken against half a dozen of his ** pals.”

The bribery and corruption proved in this case was scandalous.

Further Particulars.

Orrawa, Jan, 13.

Mr. Purcell M. P.. for Glengarry has been unseated and disqualified. Judge Rose said there had been the grossest corruption on thepart of the reformers in the con- stituency, and he would recommend that Pureell and four of his supporters be prosecuted for corrupt practices. The election cost Purcell nearly $40,000.

Lost in a Blizzard.

Bismarck, Dak,, Jan. 13.

The stage which left Washburn yesterday morning for this city should have arrived last evening. Nothing has been heard of it, and it is supposed to be lost in the blizzard.

A stage left for Winona this morning, and great fears are entertained for its safe arrival. The blizzard evidently spent its force here. The wind last night was 40 miles an hour, and the mercury 25 below. This morning it was 30 below and intensely cold. A special from Cookscone says no trains have reached there for two days. It began blowing yesterday, and piled the snow 18 feet high. It is bitterly cold. Trains all over the State of Wisconsin are laid up.

Moonlighters Sentenced.

Dvueuiy, Jan, 13.

Judge Murphy, at the Munster Assizes, sentenced fourteen mooonlighters to terms of imprisonment varying from 18 months to 18 years. He expressed himself certain that with the growing’ tacilities the law would he able to cope with moonlighters, and soon force them to disappear. The Express (Conservative) believes that meas- ures will be offered in Parliament on the resumption of the session to deprive elec- tors of the power to return persons to Par- liament who have been convicted of crime.

The river is totally deserted. Trains arrive and depart irregularly, Dut unceasingly. Accidents are frequent. The fog extends all over the western and southern coasts.

The Blizzard in Canada.

Winnipec, Jan. 13.

The Province has been visited by one of the worst blizzards ever experienced. A settler named McKay was found frozen to death in Brandon district last night.

The Canadian Pacific are said to be con- templating laying a doubie track between Winnipeg and Port Arthur, business having attained such proportions as to render this almost unavoidable.

Terrible Suffering. Lonpon, Jan. 13.

Advices from the Russian [frontier say troops in the Jublin district are suffering terribly from cold. Forty sentinels were frozen to death. Dysentery and typhus fever are prevalent, and a large staff of doctors are engaged at high salaries. Wine rations are served daily.

Sir,—Is it the intention of our\City Father's to call the usual public meeting for the con- sideration, of the annual report, and civic matters generally. If they omit doing so are we to judge that they dread facing the citizens ?

Ward Four Meeting.

Citizen.

Sir,—-In you issue of yesterday there ap- ared a communication signed by one Philip Poy. His statements concerning my conduct and speech at the meeting in Ward Four are | totally untrue. When accused by Councillor : McRae of deception in my canvass for Ward | Three, telling the temperance people that I ;was in faver of temperance, and the anti- | Scott Act people that I wasin favor of the iquor tratlic, [ maid he was a liar, and other words would epply to a person making such a false statement. Mr. Foy endeavors to impress the public with the idea that I ‘said something disparaging of the clergy. This I deny. Avhat I stated was that certain ‘clergymen were associated with men in this ‘Civie Election whose moral character and ‘commercial reputation would not bear the

light of day. Hewny C. Douse.

Ch'town, Nov. 18, 1887.

one Charles Yeo, who mysterously disappear- ed from Charlottetown about the mouth of January, 1887 and not since heard of by his frienés who have made deligent search for him, and that grave suspicions are enter. tained that he came to his death by foul means.

From representations made by parties who appeared Defore us as well as by the petition, we strongly urge that a strict investigation be made intu the matter.

Messrs. William Mutch, John McGregor and Albert Kelly appeared before the Grand Jury, representing that the landing at tle Ferry, Wharf had been seriously injured by the Charlottetown Milling Company running a railway across the street of said landing.

The Grand Jury appointed a committee to examine said landing and find? that the said Milling Company built up a brush landing which is not sufficient in length or width.

We therefore recommend that the said land- ing be made suitable for the accomodation ct the travelling public,

A complaint has been made te the Grand Jury by J. J. Chappell, that John McPherson, ot gPrince {Street, perjured himself before Mr. Mason, a Returning Officer at the Scott Act Election, November 24th, 1887.

The Jury recommend that the General iavestigate the case.

The Baitention fof the Grand Jury has been called to the fact thay F. P. {McCarron has been convicted of a violation ef Her Majesty’s laws, which we consider should dis- qualify him as a City Councillor, and there- fore call your attention to the matter.
