Political Meeting at Fort

A largely attended meeting was held in Fort Augustus School room on the evening |of the 2nd inst. Mr. Lucius O. Kelly was elected Chairman and the undersigned Secretary. | William Welsh, Esq., was the first to ad- |dress the meeting. He said he had been |selected by a large and influential Delega- | tion of the Liberal Party as a candidate to fill the seat made vacant in the County by |Mr. Brecken’s acceptance of Postmaster. It was with reluctance he accep'ed the | nomination as he was past the meredian of | life and almost retired from active polities. But as he was the unanimous choice of such |a large and intelligent body he acquiesced | with the clear understanding that he would

heavy oak doors could be heard the con- vulsive sobs which shook the frame of the jstueey explorer who so recently was snatchel from the jaws of death.

| Later in the afternoon the mother of Lieut Greely came from Newburyport, and 'was taken at once on board the flagship 'fennessee. Shortly after she was put on ‘the Secretary’s barge and taken on board the Thetis. When she arrived there ‘Mr. and Mrs. Greely and the latter's brothers were seated in Commander | Schley’s cabin, alternately crying, laugh- jing and embracing. An instant before jthe Lieutenant’s mother entered the ‘cabin, Commander Schley stepped to | tha cabin door and = said, ** Lieut ‘enant, your mother is here.” Mrs. (Greely then entered and threw her farms around her son’s neck, saying only ’ Lieut. Greely spoke ,no word save ‘‘Mother,”’ but in his tone and

‘expression there was a world of tenderness. |Clasping his mother in his arms, the lieu-

fully.

Dr. Jenkins was the next spesker. He thanked the electors for the large and cordial support they gave him at the Gen- eral Election, 1882. He reviewed at length the general policy of the Liberal-Conserva- tive party, and showed that the Govern- ment of Sir John isthe political panacea

for the Dominion of Canada. His ideas were in full accord with the principles of the National Policy.

He believed the Dominion Government would grant us our rights if pvroperly sought and formally demanded. If elected they would find in him a persistent ad- vocate for justice. He repudiated Mr. Welsh’s assumed independence when it is a notorious fact that he is the nominee of concentrated Gritism. It was oniy a ruse to trap the unwary, Supposing Mr. Welsh were elected, which was quite im- probable, he would be utterly powerless in a weak aud divided opposition.

The learned Doctor was well received and his remarks were listened to with marked attention.

Hon. L. H. Davies followed with a lengthy and reaily eloquent review of the Sir John administration, and his jug- handled and monopolizing policy.

Hon. D. Ferguson replied in a very able and masterly manner. He contrasted the wise and statesmanlike career of the present Government with the five years of Grit ex- travagance and misrule. He showed where Mr. Davies’ assertions lacked the essential, strongly recommended Dr. Jenkins as a gentleman of fine intellect, indomitable perseverence, great tact, and many other qualities which command esteem. He would be a power to the Government and an honor to the country.

Henry Beer, Esq., M. P. P., thanked the electors for their support at the last local glection. He thought our roads and bridges were shamefully neglected by the present local administration, and requested his friends and supporters to record their votes for Mr. Wm. Welsh on the ith inst,

Donald A. McDonald, Esq., made a brief and stirring speech in the interest of Mr. Welsh, which was met bya laconic and ringing retort from W. J. Logan, Esq.

Mr. J. H. Cummiskey offered a few neat and well-timed remarks. A vote of thanks was given the Chairman and Secretary. Three cheers were given for the Queen, three for Free Trade and the National Policy, three for the candidates, and the meeting closed in jolly good humor,

Greely at Portsmouth. MEETING HIS MOTHER AND WIFE—AFFECTING

SCENES ON THE THETIS—ENTHUSIASTIC

RECEPTION OF THE RELIEF SQUADRON.

The Thetis, Bear and Alert, comprising the Greely relief squadron, arrived otf New- castle, N. H., before daylight on the Ist inst., and by two o’clock in the afternoon had dropped anchor in the harbor of Porte- mouth, N. H. The United States warship Alliance had been stotioned outside the harbor to watch for the squadron, although the Arctic vessels were not expected to arrive until Saturday. The arrival of the fleet so soon made a change in the pro- gramme necessary and as a result ceremonies were more or less of an impromptu character. The ves- sels received every demonstration that enthusiasm could invent, A meeting between Greely and his wife was ingenious- ly arranged so that he should not know that the lady was on board the vessel until

Cammander Schley’s cabin, where the two were left alone. Greely did not expect to see her. thinking she had not arrived in time to meet the fleet, and was sitting in the cabin with Schley when she approach- ed. She trembled in every limb, her breath came in gasps and her whole frame shook with emotion, |With trembling steps she descended to the cabin door and just at the in- istant she entered Commander Schley left ‘the room, leaving the long separated couple ‘alone. Lieut Greely was sitting with his iback to the door, but when Commander | Schley so abruptly left bim, he turned and ‘saw his wife enter. With a wild cry like a gigantic sob Grtely bounded from his chair | with eyes half standing from their sockets. Mrs. Greely sprang forward to meet her husband, crying, ‘‘Arthur, Arthur, home ?”’

she made her presence known to him in|

leried like a child.

The Secretary of the Navy actually took the gallant explorer in his arms in the feel- ing of his greeting. ‘‘God bless you; God bless you,’’ he said, ‘‘you have come back to us almost from the grave. I hope your future happiness may reward you for the terrible experience you have had.”

> -o A Scientific Suicide. SURE WORK PLANNSD AND CARRIED OUT BY A DESPONDENT GERMAN.

Julius Hollweg, a German, who had be- come despondent as a result of drinking to drown other troubles, committed suicide in New York on Friday. When discovered his left hand rested in his lap and firmly grasped a heavy revolver of German manu- facture. On his right leg lay another re- volver spattered with blood. His right arm, rigid in death, rested on the arm of the chair near the elbow. The acm was partially raised, and about the hand was wrapped several times a heavy cotton shoe cord, to which was attached a small linen fishing line.

In fron of the body was a small table covered with a brown cloth, and placed directly under an old-fashioned mirror. To the table was firmly tied with a piece of bed cord a fine large-bore rifle. The rifle was pointed at the man’s shoulder, and before the body settled down after death came must have been aimed directly at his heart. * Over the man’s head, stretched tightly across the room, and held by nails in either wall, was a strong cord holding an empty spool. Over this was run the fishing-line from the man’s hand, whence it was passed through a staple fixed in the top of the mirror, the end being tied to the trigger of the gun, The fishing line was taut, but the pull had not been suffi- cient to discharge the gun. That the mir- ror, which was suspended by a cord, might not tip forward by a pull on the cord, a piece of fishing iine had been fastened to the top and tied to a nail in the wall. Taking the revolver in his right hand, with another ready cocked in his left, this delib- erate, methodical suicide, raised it to his head and fired. He evidently expected that the fall of his hand would pull the fishing line enough to discharge the gun through his heart. But the first shot was enough. Death came so quickly that the hand re- mained fixed half way to his head, the mirror gave slightly despite his precaution ; and although the rifle was fixed with a hair trigger which a breath will almost discharge it failed to go off. With the mirror before him be made sure of his aim, proping the chair so that his position would n ot be moved.

Hollweg, who was 57 years old, was a native of Genthin, in the Province of Brandenburg, Prussia. He was of a well- to do family, and received a good educa- tion. For 25 years he ran a sawmill there, and built up a competency. But he was led into ill-advised investments through and he lost

a man named Nietgo,

his property. Seven years ago he came to America with his wife and son, the latter now 23 years of age. The

loss of his fortune made him despondent, and he also worried greatly over the ac- tions of his elder son, now in Germany, whom he thought had used him very badly. He drank a great deal and often threatened to end his life beeause he did not have enough money to live as he liked.

Last Days or rue Trotrer ANDy JoHN- son. —For several years past the trotter Andy Johnson, owned by Mr. Thomas Furiong, senr., has been in retirement. Each summer the owner has sent him to pasture near Coldbrook, and, a few days ago, the horse was found badly injured in the field. He had evidently hurt himself on a bridge located there and was so badly crippled that it was deemed advisable to shoot him. Andy had a splendid record as a trotter. His sire was of imported stock, brought here by the Agri- cultural Society. He was purchased 16 years ago by Mr. Furlong, and was then 7 years old. The first race that brought him into prominence was on the Rensellaer Park, New York State (shortly after being |purchased by Mr. Furlong), when he got a ‘record of 2.344. His best time was 2.32, made at Boston a few years after. In one season he won first money ecight times out of twice as many races, and on several occa- sions appeared at Moosepath, the hottest struggle in which he ever took part there
