AN ISLAND WOMAN KILLED.

Her Slayer Also Said to Be a Native of this Province.

The New Bedford correspond ent of the Boston Sunday Globe furnishes the follow- ing particulars of the recent murder at that place of Mrs. Daniel Robertson, to whichereference was made in Tue Exam- | INER a few days ago:

A murder of the most horrible and fiendish character was committed this afternoon, when Daniel Robertson killed |

his wife by stabbing her in the mouth with a caseknife.

For five years or more Mrs. Robertson | has kept a ‘boarding house in the block on | the east side of Acushnet ay., or Parsons’ | laundry. Her husband has lived with her part of the time. A few months ago he | was sent tothe house of correction for drunkentiess. While he was in confinement | his wife sought a divorce, which was re- fused,

To-day Robertson was released and went | to the house to see his wife. At 1.30 this afternoon he went to the front door and rang the bell. Mrs. Pobertson refused to open the door for him.

was a large patch of leather that appeared

to have been put there not very long ago. |

object of the serpent in hissing at Mrs. Lahey; his apologists are positive that he merely meant to prove once and for all his true nature.

and Robertson went up stairs, Mrs. Rob- | ert-un stopping to again lock the door.

Both man and wife proceeded to the kit- | chen. Here they became engaged in an- tobertson an: grily demand- ed that his wife furnish him with some din- | ner. This she persistently refused to do. |

“You shall give me my dinner,” ex- claimed the irate man. Then the whole house, in fact the whdle neighborhood, was aronsed by two long, heart-rending | cries,

This brought the young and pretty daughter Helen to the scene. With blood pouring from two wounds on her forehead | and cheek, her mother stood screaming for help. - *r her stood her father, hold- ing his wife by the hair and in his uplifted | hand the blood-covered knife. Miss Robertson sereamed, and grabbing her father, made him give up the de ath-de aling knife.

Mrs. Robertson succeeded in getting away from the frenzied man and ran down the front stairs, as if to escape from the | house.

At the same time Robertson rushed | through the kitchen, down the back stairs and made his ese: ape, passing along an alleyway in the rear of the house to Sehool } Street. Mrs. Robertson succeeded in reaching and opening the front door.

About this time Dr. J. E. Pales, who was passing slong the avenue, heard the woman’s cries for help, and running to | the open door found the woman bleeding and dying on the stairway. He picked the | dying. woman up and carried her to the dining-room above. He placed her ina | chair by the window, and by this time the | help arrived. The woman was neariy a ad when picked up, and she breathed her last a few minutes after she was car- ried wpstairs.

Chief Dougtas had te lephonec | for Dr. Hayes, and he and Dr. Leonard were s00n | on the scene. When Dr. Hayes, arrived, which was but a few minutes after the case was reported, he found the woman dead. An examination of the wounds dis. | closed the fact that the woman. had stabbed twice.

A ragged cut was made in the forehead just above the right eye. This wound was not decp, and only penetrated to the

been

bone. “In the left cheek, just» below the | cheek bone, was another cut, which went through the flesh and came through the

roof of the mouth. The facial artery was severed by the cut, and this was the direct cause of death.

When the police arrived they found the

and this was immediately given into session of the chief. The knife was ar ordinary case knife, with a black wooed handle, and the biade was round and not | very sharp.

Mrs. Robertson, whose maiden was Marv McKenzie, was born in Prince Edward Island. Robertson was also a native of the Island. They were married | about 17 years ago, and have lived in this city about twelve years. Robertson was a carpenter by trade, and was last employed by Gay, the contractor.

A general alarm was rang in on the | fire alarm for all the police officers to | assemble at the central station. The | bells had been rin; ging but a few minutes |

hame

| when a large crowd ‘gathered about the

| murderer in the

central station, and police officers, both day and night, came in from all directions.

Meanwhile, officer Sullivan found the saloon of Joseph Hindle

| | “He QUESTION OF TAXATION. }

(Montreal Gazette.)

A favorite device of opponents of the Dominion Government is to treat the pub- lie revenue 2s representing the taxation | Jaid upon the people by the dominant political party. Nothing could be more misleading. Apart from customs duties there is no source of revenue which can be truthfully described as taxation, because the contributions made to the treasury threngh the excise rates are wholly volun- tary, and susceptible of avoidance by all whe choose todo so, Last year the cus | toms collections amounted to just 55 per | cent. of the total public revenue. Every dollar obtained otherwise was voluntarily paid by the people for services rendered, as, for instance, for transportation on the Government railways, for the inspection of weights and measures, or for the carriage of correspondence throngh the post-office In 1878 the customs duties amounted to 57 per cent. of the whole revenue. It is not, as the liberals would have people be- lieve, by increasing increasing taxation that the Government has been enabled to | carry on works of general utility, and as- | sist in the development of material resoure- es and the promotion of trade; but by the grow h of that portion of the revenue de- rived from wholly voluntary contributions. Taking, for example, a ten-year period of | revenue, we find the comparison to stand | as follows :

1882. | Custome duties.......,........+. $21,581,570 | Other POCHDEE.... sd pdccpszites hp } DR iiivvececl sophia $33,383,455

1293. | Customs duties..:........+0-0-+ $20,953,700 Other receipts...................... 17,178,001 SAE ciscesrentsas aieuaacs $38,131,701

| So that in the last fiscal year, although the total income of the Government was | nearly five million dollars greater than in 1882, the amount derived from customs duties was actually $630,000 less than in the former year. Miscellaneous receipts

had inthe interval risen $5,377,000, of which a million was from public works and nearly a miilion anda quarter from

the post-office. It does not, therefore, at

all follow that because the revenue mounts

up steadily year by year, taxation is high-

er; on the contrary, the customs taxation

has been on a descending scale for now six | years past.

SCOTCH FORT NOTES.

The harvest is nearly all gathered. It is a good crop notwithstanding the many storms we had during the ‘hast month.

It is not the ease, as stated i in “Resident's” letter to the Patriot of the 5th inst, that Messrs “Petégs and Cummiskey are the pe oples ¢ an lidates, and their opponents are not in it.” Indeed, far from such being the fact, lam sure that the outloek for the Government in this section is far from

; encouraging. Some cime ago there was | quite a fiutter in the grit dovecot at Mount Stewart over some private intelli- gence concerning Mr. Blake’s refusing to | contest the district. The truth is now be- ing forced upon them, that the intelligert people of the third district have decided to support Messrs Blake an.l Stewart at tle coming election, and a< a natural result 3 | feeling Of uneasiness reveal: itself tc-Jiy in their very countenance. :

Our word for it, Mr. Peter’ claptrap will not bring him through this time. The specious argument of ‘the sophist n» long- er fascinates the people. Appeals to party prejudices are stale and uninteresting. The elector; can now discriminate between unfulfilled promises, wholesale disfran- chisement, cerrymandering,ste., e:c., a good honest work done above hind closed doors :

The people can never sympathise with a

| party whose selfish policy would make them hewers of wood and drawers of water, and by force of power keep them as such | to the end of existence.

No dependence can be placed upon the Patriow’s statements. The true sentiments of the third District will be known ina | little while, and then the whole country will know how prone the Patriot ir to

clothe its utterance in the flimsy garb of falsehood. Visrror.

TO-DAY the World’s Fair Carnival of Athletic Sports opens in Chicago. The pro- gramme is under the direction of the Amateur Athletic Union, and the contests, which will continue three cays, are to take place on the grounds of the Chica o League Baseball Club. The events are open to all amateurs in the world, and to-day’s specialties are runs for varicus distances from 75 yards to two miles.

We would say, choose the shorter distance in order to secure some of the choicest goods displayed by the “STAR TAILOR.” It costs you about a one hundred dollar bill te visit the Columbian Expdsition, and you get nothing from it but an eye-full; but at THE STAR TAILOR’s EXHIBITION, for one-fifth of that expenditure, we will turn you out so handsomely dressed that your wife or friends would not know you without tipping your hat. Our display this Fall is ouprecedented i in the history of our firm; and to re-aflirm our deter mination to lead in the BE>T-MADE CLOTHING in the city is not necessary, as we presume all who are interested in such matters are thoroughly conv inced that we are masters of our art, whoever may choose to follow. Come in any time you have a moment to spare, and we will certainly convince you that what we say is correct.
