REFERRING to (in nesday'’s paper) of the case John Arbing, charged with _ peddl- ing without a license, and who was tried before Alfred Schurman and Murdock Ross, two Justices of the Peace, at Bed- eque, we understand, that the defendant has appealed froin the Magistrate’s decision and the ease will be heard at Summerside at the coming term of the Supreme Court there. The questions arising being im- portant, we learn that the cases will be bitterly fought out.

The Parnell Commissicn.
At the meeting of the Parnell Commis- siou, on the 30th, the first witness, Arthur O'Connor, M. P., testified that while he Indianapolis, last year, General Harrison, now President of the United States, said that every honest man and lover of liberty would rather share the com- pany of William O’Brien in Tullamore jail than that of viceroy in Dublin castle. O'Connor said that when he took office in the League he found many of the books fragmentary and in arrears. It was impos- sible to do anything with them, He did not know whether the books which the Gover- menc seized during the administration of Chief Secretary Foster had been destroyed. ©’Connor repelled as a calumny the sugges- tion that tenants had understood his ad- vice to them to boycott landgrabbers as a

—Science reminds those who are interest- ed in the navigation and commerce of the Atlantic that the late terrible disaster at Samoa is not without its lessons with re- gard the exposed regions nearer home. The hurricanes of the West Indies are among the severest that occur in any part of the world. Every consideration, there- tore, of expediency, economy and common sense urges the importance of taking full advantage of every le facility for securing early and reliable information re- garding the formation and progress of those

terrific storms. In this connection atten- tion is called to the hurricane chart which accompanied the ** Pilot chart” for May,
with the tracks of afew hurricanes select- ed as typical, and other information likely to be of value to the navigators during the
coming season. This is of special interest in view of the commerce along the Atlantic and Guif coasts, the West Indies, the
Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, and captains of vessels voyaging in these waters ought to obtain copies of the chart and such othe: mation asthe bureau may be able and is willing to give.

Bold Train Robbery.
An Ellis Junction, Wis., despatch of the J0th says: A bold train robbery was com- mitted on the Milwaukee and North- western road at Beaver night. The train had just pulled out of Beaver station, five miles from this point. A man walked deliberately through the rear coach to the rear door and asked the brakeman, ‘*What is the name of the station you have just left?” ‘* Beaver,” was the re- ply. ‘* Well,” said the stranger, drawing a pistol from his pocket, 7% guess Vl trouble you to shell out what spare change you have in your pocket.” The brakeman complied, andthe robber called on each in the same manner. As he robbed each passenger, he made them walk ahead and kept up the programme until he had visited every coach in the train, and

secured something from everyone. He backed his way out, still holding the re- volver before him and leaped from the
train in the dark just as the train was pull- ing inte the station.

Personal,
Mr. William Tweedy has returned from the Old Conntry, where he passed the winter, looking well.
Mr. J. B. Jones, travelling agent of the New Brunswick Railway, was in the city yes- terday, and left this morning for Pictou.
The St. John Sun of the 3lst says:—W. E.
Dawson and the Misses Dawson, of Charlotie- town, P, E. I., are at the Dufferin. Mr. D. is starting on a tour of the New England States. Color Sergeant Faughnan is in Chatham selling his ‘* Life of a British Soldier.” The Sergeant, it will be remembered, was in Char- lottetown disposing of the same work a year or two ago.
Brigade- Major Irving has gone to Frederic- ton to take a special course of instruction in the new infantry drill at the Infantry School there. The other combatant district officers will probably take a similar course.
Mr. Gil. B. Rankin, ledger-keeper in the Merchants’ Bank of Habfax, this city, has been transferred to the Moncton branch of the same institution, and will leave for his new field of Jabor on Monday. Mr. Rankin is a capable official, and is very popular with all who know him. THe EXaMINER wishes him success.
The Halifax Herald says:—William M. Tweedie will fill the new chair of English language and literature at Mount Allison. An effort is being made to establish another new chair at Mount Allison, and to get Rev. Ralph Brecken to accept it. Mr. Brecken is at pre- sent in Egypt or Palestine, and has not yet been heard from in reference to the gratifying proposition of his friends.
The Campbellton, N. B., Pioneer says: Mr. W.C. DesBrisay was in town Thursday on his way home to P. E. I. Mr. DesBrisay was the writer of our Ottawa letters during the session of Parliament, and is one of the ablest journalists and reporters of the gallery. Mr. DesBrisay was formerly connected with the Symmerside Journal, but severed his connection with that journal during the past winter.

—Mr. M. E. Herrebouct, a prominent Belgian advocate, is in Quebec, negotiat- ing for the establishment of a Belgian col- ony in that Province. Thecompany which Mr. Herreboudt represents has a capital of .3,000,000f., and has been formally recognized by the Belgian Government. We understand that the company offers to bring out some two hundred families, and settle them in Bonaventure County, as the nucleus of a colony, providing the govern- ment will give them free land and the ne- cessary means of communication with it in the shape of roads and bridges. The land asked for is on the south shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, well adapted for agricul- ture and running to the bank of the river, for the proposed settlers are expert fisher- men as well as farmers. The company proposes tu assist the new settlers in the erection of the necessary buildings, and also to furnish them with cattle, provisions for the first season, fishing nets and other supplies. Asa guarantee that they will execute their part of the contract, the pro- moters of the scheme offer to deposit 300, - OODF. with the Government. M.

Paronta was so badly burned trying to rescue the child that his recovery is doubtful. eenipnines A BuiLpine CoLLarses.—A_ terrible acci- dent occurred at Danville, Va., on Thursday. A man named Perin was building a large brick tobacco factory, nearly 200 feet long and six stories in height. The walls had been com- pleted and the carpenters were at work. The wind was blowing hard and about 2 o’clock in the afternoon the entire building came down. Robert Pruitt, Wm. Young, G. B. Jones, Buck Hooper and D. N. Collie, were killed ; Henry Oakes will die, and six others are bad- ly injured. Several men were buried in the ruins and considerable time elapsed before they were extracted. —————< ee
Apvickt to Moraresas.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as ‘“‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all
ain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be ure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. and take no other kind. {April 1 88
