IN MEMORIAM.

At her late residence, Dorchester St., on the 13th inst., Mary, beloved wife of Mr. James Morgan, and eldest daughter of E: Coady, Esq., preprietor of the Commercial House, Charlottetown, departed this life to meet her eternal reward. She Jeaves behind her a discensolate husband, one son and two daughters, besides a large circle of relatives and acquaintances to mourn their irreparable loss

Mrs. Morgan was a most exemplary wife and adevoted mother. She was pure in life, genial and gentle in disposition, and one of our most honored and respected citizens. When it was announced that her soul had left this earthly scene and gone to its celestial reward, expressions of re- gret were on every lip and looks of sorrow were in every eye. Many were the tears shed o’er her grave by those on whom her loving glance oft dwelt so kindly. Al though she has gone, the fragrance of her life will long remain as a fitting tribute to her memory. Her departure has created a vacancy in the family circle which time cannot fill. Butthe thought is cheering that beyond the grave on the brigit shore of the land Elysian her gentle spirit is now beckoning to the* sorrrowing ones left behind to prepare to meet her in the glorious home above. where sorrows are unknown, where death cannot enter, and where the family circle will again be com- plete never more to be sundered by death’s withering blast, which sooner or later will surely come. How sad to think that this modest, gentle and unassuming lady, who afew days ago was so jovial, now lies cold in death’s embrace, after an earthly pilgrimage of only thirty-four years.

Tis not the tear at this moment shed,

When the cold turf has just been laid

over her, That can tell how beloved was the friend

that fled, Or how deep in our hearts we deplore her. ‘Tis the tear through many a long year | wept, } *Tis life’s whole path o’ershaded, Tis the one remembrance fondly kept;

When all lighter griefs have faded.

To her sorrow-stricken husband, chiid- ren, father, mother and sisters we offer our sincere symyath es.

MARK OF A BLOODY THUMB

It was Enough to Trace, Cenvict and Hang an Ohio Murderes.

Cases’ in which a man has been convict- ed of crime on purely circumstantial evi- dence are of frequent occurance, but in the majority of instances it would not be diffi- cult to point to at least one weak link in the chain of guilt. The New York Record: r recalls a striking case in which a prisoner was found guilty on testimony that left no | room for even the shadow of a donbt. One | night an assassin enterel a drover’s house | in Ohio, killed the inmates and secured a | sealed package containing $1,800 in bank notes. In order to conceal the crime, he set fire to the house before leaving it. The building burned slowly, and the neighbors were enable to ext’ngu's: the flames and to discover the murderous work which had been done. The assassin, before leaping over the fence, had torn open the wrapper of the package and flung it on the ground. This was picked up by the police and marks of blood were found upon it. It was the only clue in their possession.

After twenty-four hours the murderer returned to the town. The police sus- pected him, beeanse he had been mysteri- ously absent and was known to have heen | intimate with the drover, Thew dis... | arrest him-}Ut 2Snstantly watched him | tour monthe. He had been poor, but | now seemed to have money.

In the course | of a week he married and went away on a | wedding tour. Two detectives followed | him. Whenever he paid a hotel bill or | offered money for any purpose they secured the bank netes which had been in his pos- session. Subsequently he made severa! journevs with the detectives behind him, | and finally went to Minnesota. There he | paid out a $20 bill with a red thumb mark | on one corner. Tne police arrested him | a: soon as they examined it. On the trial | the torn wrapper with its blood mark was |

| } i ’

identified as having been in the drover’s possession. The bank notes, which had been traced to the assassin were put in, with the last one paid ont by him on top. The smear of blood on the wrapper corre- «ponded precisely with marks of the bank | notes underneath. The specialist’ mag- | nifying glass revealed unerringly how the | murderer’s thumb, in tearing open the en- | velope, had touched the first bank note. It was circumstantial evidence conclusive of guilt. The murderer was convicted and

Another Triumph For Fielding.

——

SURPRISES ON BOTH SIDES.

Hawirax, March 16.

The Provincial elections resulted in a surprise for both parties. In Halifax city, Premier Fielding’s majority of 1200 is cut down to a mere handful, while from re- turns to hand, it looks as though he would have W. A. Black, Conservative, for colleague, instead of speaker Power. There was a large amount of splitting and cross voting.

In Shelburne, Mr. Cahan succumbed to a plethoria of grit rum and money, with which the county was flooded.

Hon. Samuel McDonald, the new mem- ber of the Government, is beaten in Inver- ness, with his colleague, John McKinnon, and Cape Breton County has relegated to oblivion McDonald and McPherson and sent Dr. McKay and John McCormick, Lit eral-Conservatives, to the Assembly by 350 majorities.

Colchester has been redeemed by Long- worth and Dimock by sweeping majorit- ies,

The banner Liberal county of Yar- mouth elects one Conservative and Pictou sends a solid Conservative delegation,

On the other hand, Guysborc, Cumber- land and King’s pass into the ranks of the Government’s supporters.

Very meagre returns of the Prohibition plebiscite have been obtained. Halifax city gives 1500 majority for the plebiscite and the “yes” vote throughout the Prov- ince is probably about 5 to 1.

The new house will probably be 25 to 13 in favor of the grits.

The Legislature opened yesterday. Quite a sensation was sprung in the shape of the resignation of the Hon. H. A. Connell, both as a member of the Goevernmant and a member of the House.

Mr. Dunn, of this city, will take Con- nell’s place in the Government.

GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

Sr. Pererssrre, March 13.—The recent arrival here ot the sons of Prince Jerome Bonaperte, Prinze Victor ard Prnice Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, produced & sensation in Aiplomiaic circles, and several much comménted upon reports were’ circulated in connection with their visit. This sen- sation, however, was speedily dispelled during the recent court ball. The Em- — conversed only with Prince Louis

naparte, who is a Lieutenant-Colonel attaghed to the Russian dragoon regiment of Nijni Novgorod. Prince Victor, the elder brother, was isolated, and was not even invited to the Imperial supper table. The Czar’s treatment ef Prince Victor ended the most sensational of all the ru- mors, which was to the effect that Victor was to be married toa Russian Princess.

Mownrreat, March 13.—At the conclu- sion of a lecture on Friday Mr. Mercier is reported to have delivered an extempore address, in which he, said that if the Freneh Canadians failed to obtain the liberty that was their right to teach their own schools and pray to God as they wished, after exhausting every constitu- tionai means they would resort to any- thing, even revolution, rather than submit to tyranny. He would, he said, himeelf be disposed to become a revolutionist.

Beri, March 13.—In the Reichstag tc-lay, De Von Frege, Con<ervative, offer- ed an amendment to the Russian-German treaty, imposing a duty on rice and wheat imported from Russia, of five marks, and upon oats four marks. It was rejected.

Wassincroy, March 13.—Manuel M. Peralta, the Minister of Costa Rica to the United States, says there is no reason whatever to fear, or even to predict, a civil war in Costa Rica. The country is quiet, the government maintaining public tran- quility throughout the land, and is fully prepared to meet any emergency.

Pirrssure, Pa., March 13.—At the meet- ing of the Central board of education to- night @ resolution was adopted refusing to pay any teacher appearing in the public schools in the garb of any religions order.
