To-night they will be entertained at the Dufferin. A® Sap Enpixc.— An unfortunate man Coutre was killed a few days ago by fa tit from the third storey window of a ho at Levis, Que, Coutre was proven at the inquest to have been a notorious drunk- ard and vagrant, and to have fallen out of the window during%an epileptic fit, brought on by the imtmoderate use of intoxicating liquors. ‘People who speculate in insurance had his life heavily insured for some years past.

Pusnine Tus Work.—The Sydney, C.

Donald (who built the Post Office building in CHarlottetown) evidently mean to rush their contract through on the public build- ing with despatch. They have a gang of men excavating. The stone for the foun- dation is being quarried. They will short- ly have their carpenters at work making

i frames, doors, &c. The pressed ‘brick of which the structure is to be built will be imported.

Buretars Acarn.—An Iron Mines, N. S.,despatch reports that the store of Blaikie Bros., at that place, was burglarized on Sunday night last. The toolsfor breaking in the door were stolen from a_ blacksmith shop. The thieves drilled a hole into the safe and blew it open with powder, ruining the safe but securing no booty, as Mr. Blaikie, in common with all merchants in that town, used his safe merely as a fire- proof receptacle for books.

Runaway Accipent. —The Summerside Pioneersays: Mrs. David Read sustained severe injuries last Saturday evening by being thrown out of a carriage near the railway crossing at the station. ‘The express which had come in from the west, was shunting when the horse, in charge of Mr. Joseph Read, took fright and ran away, with the result of throwing both the occupants of the carriage out. The car- riage was smashed considerably. Mrs. Read is, we are pleased to learn, improving.

Horses anpD CattLe.—Mr. George Essory, of this city, shipped a carload of splendid driving horses in the St. Lawrence this morning. The Summerside Journal says that Mr. W. F. Glidden, of Woodstock, N. B., shipped eleven horses by the Princess on Wednesday morning, most of them being very tine and handsome animals. Mr. McManus shipped a like number by the same boat, to Memramcook, The Journal also says that Messrs. Jas. Gallagher and C. A. McNutt shipped 22 head of cattle by the Princess the ee oe part to Amherst and part to St. John.

A Memoras_e Monts.—The month of May, 1889, will be memorable in the meteorological history of the Northern States, says the Cleveland Leader, not only for its unprecedented heat, but for its very late frosts and the remarkatle low tem- perature of its last week. Garden veget- ables, fruit, and even grain, have been frozen, to the serious loss of farmers and truck raisers at various points from Illiaois to New England. In Southern Michigan, Western New York, and several counties of Ohio the damage done is severe and ex- tensive, and fariners have reason to feel somewhat discouraged.

AFTER Many Yeranrs.—Levi ©. Me- Kinney and Miss Mary Black of Louisville, Ky., were engaged to be married nearly fifty years ago. Soon after their engagement McKinney wentto take part in the warwith Mexico. When he returned he had not money to begin housekeeping. As the young lady had a good home, they waited. He. enlisted in the Federal army at the outbreak of the Civil war, but after the war was over was unable to support a wife. Recently he got a back pension of $1,700. He at once hunted up his old love, who

was still waiting for him, and the pair were married on W ay last.

North Side, Lot 45, Notes.

Farmers in this vicinity are through with

could be desired, and the acreage sowed is | quite above the average.

On this side of Lot 45 some new build- | ings are in course of construction. Mr. | Jos. A. Morrison is preparing to build a} new dwelling house. Mr. Jas. McEachern, the well known builder, has furnished him with plans and specifications on quite a new and approved style of architecture. This house, when finished, will be one of the finest and most substantial in the vicinity.

Mr. Daniel McLean, who has a new house in course of construction, has now commenced work. Thomos Shea is doing the mason work, andthe wood work is under contract with Peter Alward, the veteran builder and architect of Souris. Mr. Mc- Lean’s house, so far, is constructed with the very best imported lumber, and the work being done under Mr. Alward, is a sufficient guarantee of its durability and substantial finish.

Mr. H. McDonald, P. M., is to have his fine and commodious house, also built by Mr. Alward, plastered soon. Mr. McDon- ald’s house, when completed, will be one the finest farm houses anywhere.

Mr. Neil J. McDonald has a fine new house under way. Mr. Gallant, of New Acadia, is the builder. tine house for Mr. Ronald A. McDonald. Mr. McD. does not believe in plastering, and considers board ceiling superior and warmer for the cold North Side. Under this, yet doubtful, supposition, he has ceiled and wainscoated his dining room, kitchen and one or two bed rooms.

Mr. John P. McLean has a dwelling house in course of construction. This building, though not large, will, when finished, make a snug and comfortable dwelling.

When all these new houses are completed Black Bush will present a very creditable appearance.

The mackerel have made their appear- ance. Mr. Neil J. McDonald caught nine in his nets one day this week. Messrs Angus

Brown and Joseph Morrison are fitted out - ith mackerel nets, and intend to catch all the finny ones they can.

A syndicate of Big Pond fishermen has purchased the two-sail fishing boat of Mr. Neil McDonald, and contemplate prosecut- ing the fishing industry for all it is worth.

It is to be regretted that the lobster fac- tory at Black Bush was not in operation this spring. This factory is owned by Messrs. McKachern & Co., who give em- ployment to a large number of men. The probability of the firm starting again with renewed vigor, is hailed with delight by the farmers as well as the fishermen. While doing business, they were found to be square and honest business nen, and never hesitated to give the cold cash for produce as well as fis.

Messrs. Donald A. McDonald starts for Gloucester on Wednesday. We wish him success.

Mr. John F. and James McDonald are putting up a new barn near the road, and intend hauling up the house also this sum- mer. Mr. John A. McDonald also talks of hauling his building up near the road this summer,

Such a spectacle of drunkeness and de- bauchery as was presented at Big Pond one evening lately, is too horrible to contem- plate. What a fine example for the youths of the place! Parents and others are going to ‘** put their foot” on such scenes hereafter and bring their names to the proper authorities. Another matter which is to be stopped by legal process or other- wise is fishing on Sundays and holydays.

SPHINKS.

The War in Hayti. A letter from Port au Prince, dated May 30, says: ‘It is stated on good authority that the army of Hippolite is within two miles of Port au Prince. No doubt in a few days the war will be ended, with the army of the north the victors. Legitime, owing to lack of food and money, is desert- ing Grand Saline, and one of ,his generals, ‘commanding 5,000 men, has surrendered i all his forces to Hippolyte. The general himself has fled to Jamaica. He put him- self under the protection of the British Consul before going to Jamaica. Legitime would have followed his example had his generals and ministers permitted. They say he has brought them to their present state and must remain and share their fate. It is impossible to say when Hippolyte’s army will fall on the town and massacre everyone in it. Legitime has hardly any men, and it would be an east matter to capture it. Most of the ships of Legitime’s navy are lying in the inner harbor afraid if they venture out they will be captured by Hippolyte’s ships. ——— ee Tar Conripence Game.—W. J Rines, of Maitland, N. S., came very near being the victim of confidence men, while en route to St. John, on Thursday night last. A man on the train introduced himself to Rines as Currie, brother of Prof. Currie, of Halifax, and Squire Currie, of Hants County. The usual story followed. A companion of Currie’s appeared and de- manded a hundred dollars, but Currie had only forty and wanted to loan sixty from Kines, tendering him a cheque. Rines pulled out a roll of bills from his pocket and counted sixty dollars. Just as he was ‘in the act of handing it over, it dawned «n him that Currie was a confidence man, and he told him so. The train was now in the St. John depot, and, as the two men made |a run for the car door, Rines made after them, but they were too smart and got away.

After the Flood.

SOME FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE JOHNS-

TOWN DISASTER.

JoHystown, Pa., June 10.—The im- pending change m the control of the town has caused an exodus of workmen and flood survivors. A steady rain has combined to make Johnstown more quiet to-day than at any time since the flood. Good progress has been i.e clearing out the channel of the Conemaugh above the bridge. The morgues are about to be abandoned on account of the tal condition of the bodies recovered, as ic utification is almost im- possible unless by the personal effects found upon the bodies. The state board of health still issue encouraging bulletins, although isolated cases of pneumonia, diphtheria and measles are reported, generally from the suburbs. To-day the owners of property are hard at work clear- ing out the cellars, drying carpets and bedding, and inaugurating a general reno- vation. Women, who labored bravely with water and brush, began to see the floors for the first time for twelve days. Mud is caked all over the walls aad furniture, and most of the carpets are utterly useless. At the general oftices of the Cambria iron company every clerk and departmental manager are at work. Thirty-eight bodies were recovered to-day, all in an advanced stage of decomposition. A number of letters, containing considerable money to defray expenses of children, cannot be satisfactorily answered as the orphans are not to be found. Four men to-day can- vassed Johnstown proper to classify those

needing provisions, and to-night they turned im 41187 names. The _ city is not nearly all visited. Cloth- ing sis needed very generally.

PuitapecpHia, Pa., June 10.—John

Barr, the conductor in charge of the Pull- wan parlor car on the first section of the day express, which was caught in the flood at Cenemaugh, tells a thrilling story of his experience. His train, with two others, had been run on a siding on high ground at Conemaugh station, opposite the big rourd house. He saw the water coming, and de- scribes it as having the appearanoe of a mountain moving towardsthem. He im- mediately ran to his car and shouted to his passengerstornn for their lives. John Davis, who is connected with a large roll- ing mill near Lancaster, was traveliing from Colorado, with his invalid wife, and two children, aged about 4 and 6. Mr. Davis was engaged in getting his wife off the car, and Concucter Barr grabbed up the two children, and, with one under each arm, started for the hills, with the water right at his heels. He ran a distance of about 200 yards and barely managed to deposit his precious burden on safe ground before the flood swept past him. Mr. Barr says it will never be known how many people lost their lives from the ill-fated train. The one passenger coach that was carried away hadsomejpeople in it, how many, nobody knows. Hethinksthat at least 20 wera drowned. The baggage car was lifted clear out of the water and landed on the other side of the river. A Miss Wayne, who was travelling from Pittst urg to Altoona, had a miraculous escape. She was caught in the swirl, and almost all of her clothing was torn from her person, and she was providentially thrown by the angry waters clear of the rushing flood. Miss Wayne was provided with a suit of men’s clothes, and rode into Altoona thus array- ed. Muss Maloney, of Waterbury, N. J., a passenger in the parlor car, started to leave the car, and then, fearing to venture out into the flood, returned to the inside of the car. Whenthe water subsided, the crew rushed to the car expecting to tind Miss Maloney dead, but the water had not gone high enough to drown her, and she was all right, though greatly frightened. She displayed a rare amount of forethought in the face of danger, having tied securely around her waist a piece of her clothing on which her name was written in indelible ink. She fully expected that she would be drowaed and did this in order that her body, it found, might be identified.

Jounstown, Pa., June 10--The body of Rev. Alonzo F. Diiler, rector of the Johns- town Episcopal Courch, and those of his wife and child were recovered a few days ago under circumstances both sad and strange. Four Episcopal clergymen, who had been sent here by Bishop Whitehead, were working about the ruins near Lincoln street, when they came upon the body of their late brother. Clasped in one rigid arm was the body of the babe, and in the other his wife, whose arms were about his neck.

Derxoir, Mich., June 10.—Austin S. Hatch, Superintendent at Johnstown of the Edison Electric Light works, and who, with his wife, had a thrilling escape during the tlood, made the astonishing statement yesterday, that not leas than 3,000 lives were lost at Johnstown through the use of liquor. He said that aiter the lower portion of the town had been inundated by the heavy rains, and the people had been driven to the second floor large numbers of men left their houses on rafts and plundered the saloons. By 3. o'clock in the afternoon there were certainly nearly a thousand men drunk and sailing around the streets, and when the floods came they were dazed and helpless. They were unable to save themselves, and caught upon and dragged others down. Besides, their families were alone and powerless to save themselves from the flood. Had the men been sober and at home, many families would have been saved.”

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 10.— Philadel- phia’s relief fund exceeds $550,000. New York city’s relief fund has already gone beyond $400,000. Individual members of the South Fork Ciub, the owners of the death dealing dam, have given $0,000. Jay Gould gave $1,000. The heathen Chinamen of New York gave $286, the Celestials $0.00. Pittsburg’s contribgtion is $300,000.
