The Cardigan Election.

So it appears the opinion expressed by the Putriot that the ‘electors of Cardi- gan must be hard wp,” was only a ‘playful remark.” We infer, therefore, that the editor of the Patriot,in his serious moments, does not think that by asking Mr. Donald Ferguson to become their representative, the electors of Cardigan did anything in- dicating that they are ‘hard up.” The bully of the Davies-Stewart Ring has taken care that, at least, the affront shaJl not ap- ply to Mr. Ferguson. This will, we doubt, not be satisfactory to the electors of Cardi- gan, who spontaneously offered Mr. Fer- yuson a seat in the Legislative Assembly as their representative. The electors of Car- digan themselves know how false and piti- ful is the statement of the Putriot that the nomination of Mr. Ferguson was planned in Charlottetown ; and it is not for us to denounce it or todo aught but give the false statement a direct and positive con- tradiction.

We do, however, complain of the effront- ery with which the Putriot iisrepresents the Examiner in the matter of the Legis- lative Council election for the First District of King’s County. We pointed out—when that election was on the tapis—the fact that Mr. Louis H. Davies had, by his As- sessment Act, caused a feeling of discord and jealously to exist between the towns and the country; and we expressed the opinion that, therefore, a townsman had not as good a chance of election to the Local Legislature by a country district as a countryman. That opinion we still hold. And if Mr. Ferguson were a townsman, and if he had not been asked by the people of Cardigan to represent them, and if he were opposed by a resident of Cardigan District,of the same side of politics, who was in every way his superior as a politi-

cian, we should take the same posi tion in opposition to him now that we did in opposition to the towns- men then. But Mr. Ferguson is not

atownsman. He suffers from the etlects of the bad legislation of the Davies Govern- ment precisely in the same degree as the people of Cardigan themselves do, He is as well versed in politics, as good a public speakor, as sharp and forcible a debater as can be obtained in the Island. He is, in everyway, a suitable representative of Car- digan or any other country District ; and, therefore, we think, the people of Cardigan eught rather to be congratulated than insult- ed, because theyhaveasked him to become their representative. The pugnacious old bully of the Davies-Stewart , Assessinent Ring Organ may rage andfume and bluster. His efforts to defeat Mr. Ferguson will be vain. Mr. Ferguson has only to comply with the request of the electors of Cardi- gan to be almost unanimously honored by their confidence, and to take the position as their representative, which he is so well qualified to fill.

Gateraiti’s Band discoursed sweet music on Hillsborough Square for a short time last evening. A large number were present. This is Mr. Galbraith’s tirst, and will be his only appearance on the square for the present sturamer. Would ‘it not be well for residents in that vicinity to try and secure the services of the band for the coming season! If they should, there is, we think, but little doubt that the Corporation would place the Square in such a condition that it would be a pleasant resort for summer evenings.

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.

TWO TRAMPS ATTEMPT TO ROB A LONE WOMAN—SHE KILLS THEM, BUT IS FATALLY STABBED HERSELF—ACT OF AN INDIGNANT POPULACE,

Ricumonp, Va., June 2.—About ten o'clock last night two men visited the resi- dence of Mrs. Becky Baldwin, widow, liv ing near Sazewell County house. They broke in the door and entered her bedroom. They demanded her pocketbook, and threatened violence if she did not give it.

She took a pocket book containing $21 and threw it in the fire. One of the tramps stooped to get it and she snatched an axe and dealt him a terrific blow, knocking him down, quickly followed with other blows, dashing his brains out on the hearthstone. The second tramp then drew a dirk knife and stabbed her twice in the left breast. She dealt him a fearful blow with the axe, nearly severing the right arm near the shoulder. The miscreaht fled, leaving a trail of blood behind. His dead body was found, this morning, two miles from this place. Young Whiteman came morning and found Mrs. Baldwin dying. She told her story and died two hours after- wards. The dead bodies of the tramps were thrown into a hog pen, so great was the in- dignation of the people in the vicinity. There were no papers upon them by which they could be identified.

Suepriac, June ft.

The Court norning at the usual hour,

Mrs. Catherine Johnson took the She testified that.she is a married woman and that her husband is in Halifax. Came from there last evening to give evidence in

i this case. Has known the Osbornes since 1

opened this

stanel.

Annie Parker had left. She never had any conversation with the Parker girl and saw her only once in her life. Saw a hatchet about the house while at Osbornes; saw it in the woodhouse and kitchen. She thought it was the morning Mr. Osborne was ar- rested that Mrs. Osborne said there was an old hatchet about the house that they had brought from Caldwell. The litile girl, Minnie Osborne, said to witness one morn- ing not to say anything about the hatchet, as she was going to put it away. Why the child said this witness could not imagine. After Minnie had said this she saw the hatchet again. Heard John Osborne say the morning he was arrested that it had come to the final thing at last,—they were to be arrested. The hatchet witness could identify.

To Mr. Hoistead -George Osborne came to the house before and after his parents were arrested. Mrs. McCarthy told witness that the Osborne family must know soine- thing about the disappearance of her hus- band; they further talked about their re- ligious matters; and Mrs. McCarthy said for God’s sake if she knew anything about her husband’s clothes being about the house to let her know.

Mary Fitzgerald, the woman supposed to have raised the report that McCarthy was killed by Parker, Annie’s brother, took the stand. Dr. T'uck ignored this witness, and threw her on the hands of the counsel for the defence for examination. She deposed she came from Alberton, P. KE. L., with Deputy Sweeney.

Dr. Tuck—Why don’t you ask her if Russell, a Shediac lawyer, was not over after her first.

Capt. Parker, who was a frequent visitor ai Mr. Burns, Shediac, where witness lived ; Mr. Russell, of Shediac, lawyer, came

to her before Sweeney and told her she had to come to Shediac; he did not say who was to pay her expenses, or who had sent him.

Seely Bell followed Miss ittzgerald. He simply identified the hatchet as one he had seen.

Harry H. Selfaffer, stationmaster and agent of the Western Union Telegraph, testified to the running of the trains on the 12th and 13th last Oct., also stated that freight had been received here and bill paid for on 13th Oct. last, for White, who rented Johnson’s house.

Gallant, a juryinan, stated that he had rented a shop in Moncton, from Mr. Os- borne,and made monthly payments of $10.73 per month.

Mr. Gilbert made application that the prisoners be placed on the stand to give evidence. Mr. Gilber thought valuable evidence could be gained from the prison- ers. He wished the Crown to call the prisoners.

Dr. Tuck said he appeared here as ad- viser of the Corner, and what he had to say was law. The Crown had exhausted near- ly all its witnesses that had any bearing on the present investigation, and he though; that the defence shoull be a little more punctual in producing their witnessest that the jury wanted to get heme, and did not wish to be kept here idly waiting evi- dence for the defence.

Mr. Gilbert agreed with Dr. Tuck, but thought that, supposing the prisoners were capable of putting machinery in motion to bring witnesses in their behalf from afar, it was unfair to ask them to cdo so, and that it was the duty of the Crown to do so. How ever, the prisoners were unable to pay ex- penses of witnesses and he asked the Crown to bring them.

Dr. 'Tuck answered that the prisoners were not on trial for the murder of Mr, Mc- Carthy. An investigation was simply being held to find out the guilty parties, but it was an unusual thing for a prisener on trial for murder, to furnish, at his own expense, witnesses in his own behalf. Mr. J'uck could not advise the Coroner to bring wit- nesses for the defense at the country’s ex- pense.

W. B. Deacon was cailed, dence was unimportant.

The weather is fine and warm here to-day The attendance at Court this morning is quite large.

Russel, a Shediac lawyer, was sent over by the Osbornes, it is said, in advance of Deputy Sweeney, to interview the Fitzger- ald girl. The girl could give no idea why these reports were circulated.

At this point John Osborne was proposed by the Counsel for the defence as a proper person to give evidence.

Dr. Tuck said if he could think the mat- ter law he would tumediately call Mr. Os- borne.

Coroner Hanington said he would be pleased to eall the prisoners if he thought himself warranted legally in doing so.

Dr. Tuck—I have pointed out the law to you, Mr. Holstead, that it was necessary to have the prisoners in Court.

Mr. Gilbert moved the Court to adjourn until Monday, as his witnesses were not ready.

Mr. Holstead said the Crown should bring the prisoners’ witnesses.

The Coroner said it was useless to watt for the Crown to act, and that surely it was not Mr. Holstead’s intention to keep the Court open day after day in order to get witnesses.

Mr. Holstead said he might get a dozen witnesses to-morrow.

Rev. Mr. Murray remarked it was Sun- day, though.

Dr. Tuck said it was unfair to him and ‘the Jury to adjourn till Monday.

Mr. Holstead said he covld not get his witnesses until Monday.

Dr. Tuck.—-Well, we won't lose a month. Seventy-one witnesses have been asked for the Crown, and came, and if any expenses attached they paid their own way.

Mr. Holstead gained his point, however, and the Court adjourned at 3.30 this after- noon, until Monday morning.

a Cartwright on the Situation.

( From the Mail. )

af

Mr. Cartwright draws a fearful picture of what would follow if Canada hada “ re- taliatory” tariff. He assumes that if we adopted defensive legislation that would be considered by the Americans as making war upon them, and that they would forthwith make their duties even higher than at pre- sent. The Finance Minister is not well in- formed as to what our neighbors think on this subject. Sensible Americans, all busi- ness men among them, certainly, think us the biggest fools on earth for allowing their iyroduce to come in here free, while ours has to pay 20 per cent. to enter their mar- kets. Theylaugh at our simplicity, but meanwhile think it a good thing for them, that we are governed by men who draw their ideas of political economy from a country whose trade system is a3 Inap- plicable to Canada’s circumstances as would e its land laws.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American people are to day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelli- gent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and use- fulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the advice of Druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your! speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its viriues, with satisfactory results in every case. Youcan buy a sample bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses will releive’ the worst case. Positively sold byall drug- gists on the Western Continent.

Over one hundred houses were totally destroyed and the loss of pro- perty will reach $250,000. Whole blocks were completely swept away and the debris scattered for miles. The storm came from the southeast, passed to the northeast and was preceded by a shower of rain. Trees were uprooted and carried through the air like feathers, as were also fragments of houses, etc., in fact, everything that the storm struck. The Shaw House, a large brick hotel, was demolished, and _ their in- mates buried in the ruins. So far as known, thirteen persons were killed and a large number wounded.

The United States Tariff. So itis about certain that no action will be taken on the Wood tariff bill by Con- gress this session. And it does not seem likely that the present Congress will do any- thing effective in the matter during its win- ter session. A new Congress will be elect- ed this fall, to meet onthe 5th of March next. Should the Democrats control it, tariff revision may be taken up by it and carried through at its first session. Should the Republicans have the ascendency in the new Congvess the tariff question will pro- bably sleep for a time. In any case, the liberalization of the United States tariff need not be expected this year. The pro- tectionist party over the border is strongly entrenched-—will fight to the last ditch,and undoubtedly die hard. But great is truth, in science andin everything else, and vie-
