CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, FRIDAY, APRIL 9 1886,

Right Hon. W. EH. Forster:

The cable announces the death of Right Hon. William,Edward Forster, in the 68th year of his age, The son of a minister of tae Society of Friends, Mr, Forster shared with John Bright the position of a prominent adherent of that body with great prominence in the Liberal party. After completing his education, he became a worsted mauu- facturer at Bradford. His first political venture was as a Liberal candidate for Leeds ‘in 1859 when he was defeated by only twenty-one, while receiving 2,280 votes. ‘Two years later at a bye-election he was returned by acclamation for Bradford, and held that constituency continuously afterward. elected by acclamation he was usually in subsequent elections at the head of the poll. He was under-secretary for the colonies in Lord Russell’s administration in 1865-6, and vice-president of the com- mittee of council on education from 1868 to 1874; was sworn a member of the privy council 1868, and admitted a member of the cabinet in 1870. He had charge of the Education Bill of 1870, displaying great tact and ability while conducting that measure through the Commons. When Mr. Gladstone retired from the leadership of the Oppo- sision in 1875, he was much spoken of as the successor to that position; but he declined the honor, and the choice fell upon the Marquis of Hartington.

Mr. Forster enjoyed a number of scholastic distinctions. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1875, and in that year was elected Lord Rector of the University of Aberdeen, which in- stitution conferred oo him the honorary degree of LL. D. in 1876. He was the author of a number of pamphlets and lectures, among the former being a de- fence of William Penn against the strie- tures of Macaulay. In 1880 he was made Chief Secretary tor Ireland, aud having advised the passage of coercive measures, he was fora time very unpo- pular, and was stigmatized as **Buckshot Forster.” He resigned his post when 4 milder policy was adopted. He re- mained a steadfast supporter of Mr. Gladstone, though differing from him in his Irish policy.

ancl pe lireninnne That Hlopement.

A Kentville, N. §., ‘* Bachelor” sends the following particulars of the Aylesford elopement toe the Halifax Herald :—For some time a pretty young girl from St. John, named Fanny Fisher, lived with her uncle W. J. Balcom, of Aylesford, as companion to her aunt, his wife. The girl was the pet of the family. Every- thing went along lovely; but some time ago A. E. Brenan, a young widower, crossed the girl’s path. From that mo- ment she was smitten ind a captive. One of the love letters fell into the hands of the uncle and aunt. They didn’t approve of the match, and did all they could to prevent it. They placed every obstacle in the way, but love overcame all barriers. Clandestine meetings were held, and all arrangements made for an elopement—of the most audacious kind. The sleighing was splendid ten days ago and Fanny induced her aunt to go for a drive; they would enjoy a drive so much. They went. When a mile or so from the house, the girl suddenly noticed something wrong with the bridle and got out to fix it. Just at that moment another sleigh dash- ed up from behind. Jastead of getting into the sleigh with ber aunt, Fanny jump- ed into the strange sleigh. The aunt

With this weapon he struck at Macdon- ald, hitting him on one sideof the head, at the corner of his right eye, just escap- ing the temple. ‘The blood spurted and coveredjthe board in clots, so violent was the blow, Macdonald was stunned, but rallied in a few moments, aod ran toward Inglis street, giving an alarm. Dr. Me- Kay was called and dressed the wound, A large crowd threatening violence against the whole colored population, searched the railway grounds with lan- terns, finding the stick and_ board. Afterwards, accompanied by, policeman Green they went to the house of Mr. Alex Paris, on the hill where one of the men was arrested On Suaday the other two were captured after a hard chase. Macdonald’s condition is critical, and he is unable to leave his house. He still acts dazed-like. His head is swollen and benumbed.

News from Newfoundland.

Recent advices from Newfoundland re- port terrible destitution still prevailing there. One hundred families in St. John’s are actually on the verge of starvation, and 600 people are being supplied with the necessaries of life either by the Govern- ment or public subscriptions. Harrowing stories. of destitution come from all along the coasts.

Seven persons were recently drowned under peculiarly sad circumstances. Three little girls, all under twelve years, playing on the ice, fell through a hole. A brother and sister driving a dog train over the ice were all submerged. The boy was drowned, but the girl clung to the d and was rescued after being four hours in the water, The dogs were drowned, Three brothers named Eason went gunning in e small boat and have never been heard of since.

The seal fishery so far has been very successful, In Notre Dame Bay the largest catch ever known was secured.

The brigantine Arctic with a cargo of salt was abandoned in the ice off St. Shotts afew days ago, but was aftewards boarded by people from the shore and taken asa prize into St. John’s,

Cable advices report an enormous in- crease in the catch of codfish over last year. One million quintals have already been taken, This will supply the whole Euro- pean market and make still more gloomy the outlook for Nova Scotia and Newfound- land fishermen.

Lime Euln Club Notes.

A motion that a barrel of lemonade be placed in the hall at every meeting here- after was voted down, and Elder Toots,who made it was fined $11,

Judge Arbitration Smith attempted to get a resolution through the meeting, declaring the accordeon to be the national mu ical instrument of America,but received no support.

Uncle Ben Thompson wanted the meeting to express itself on the subject, but was ordered to sit down.

The janitor reported twenty-two new leaks in the roof and fifteen in the atove, and was instructed tc draw on the treasurer for twelve cents to buy cement.— Detroit Free Press. > a

Apyick T0 Morugrs,—Mre. 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 shrub awakes as ‘“‘bright as a button.” Itis very pleasant to taste, It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, regulates the bowls, and is the best known remedy for diarrbws, whether arising from teething or other causes, Twenty-five cents a bottle, Be sure and ask for ‘‘Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup,” and take no other kind.

was thunderstruck ; and before she had time to demand an explanation, or even | to recover from her surprise, Fanny and | her widower-Jover were dashing aloug toward Berwick, where Henry Elmore Brenan add Fanny Sophia Fisher were duly made man and wife by Rey. T. D. Hart, Methodist Minister. The affair has created unprecedented excitement in this quiet and matter-of-fact old fashion- ed-marryiog community; and Mr, and Mrs. Baleom are receiving the sympa- thies and the wilfully wicked young‘couple the congratulations of their respective friends.

— ~~ A Murderovs Assault.

The Truro correspondent of the Hali-| fax Herald says that on Saturday even- ing last a murderous assault was com-| mitted by three colored men. George! McCallum, a young man of twenty-| seven, while going home across the rail-| road grounds, was set upon by a colored | man named Hen. Paris, one of the many denizens of Foundry hill, Gardiner Clish and his partner, Councillor Mac-| donald, were also going home. They} heard the cries and ran to the spot. | Two negroes were upon McCallum, who | was down and in great danger. Mr. ' Clish pulled ene of them away, who im- mediately resented it by striking at him with a stick, breaking his hat, and grazing his forehead slightly. A third man had in the meantime secured a piece of board about three feet long and

she surprised the family by walking into the breakfast room at an unusually early hour. ‘‘Why mother,” exclaimed her danghter, did you come down stairs alone?” “‘Why, yes,” replied the energetic centen- arian; ‘‘I should think I was old enough to come alone !”’ EEE

The hangman of Vienna, Heinrich Wil- lenbacher, who died the other day in his 51st year, held his office for 24 years, and during that time executed 36 criminals. This is not a large number for a city with a million of inhabitants; but murders, and, indeed all crimes of violence are of rare occurrence in Vienna, the manners of the inhabitant being proverbially gentle.

An Italian professor wishing to find out whether the miasm of the malaria existed in the dew and soil, experimented on him- self by having infusions of dew and soil collected from unhealthful places injected under his skin. He experienced no. evil results. He and his friend made fift7-two similar experiments without harm.

They have been arresting more Aldermen in New York. If the detectives continue landing the men whom the people of New Yerk delight to honor in the cells at the present rate, a seat in the Civie Council will in time become looked upon as a sort of preliminary training for Sing Sing.

Destruction of industrial property by those who want employment or more wages is akin to the act of mutinous sailors who set fire to their own ship. Itis » sign of absolute desperation, which is not much consoled by the thought that the ship- owners will loose, too.
