WEST KENT STREET SCHOOL, VS. ST. PETER'S
SCHOOL.
\ FRIENDLY game was played between teams from the above schools yesterday afternoon. The challenge issued from | Kent Street. According to arrangement ithe teams met on Prince Street ground. Kent Street’won the toss and sent their opponents to the wicket.- The match had | proceeded in a very pleasant manner for half an hour, when Mr. Oxenham appeared onthe scene and peremptorily ordered both players and spectators off the field. With many signs of discontent the players moved their quarters to Victoria Park, where the game was stubbornly contested. Owing to the time takén up in changing grounds it was tod late to play a second innings, and St. Peter’s were the winners by 17 runs. The feature of the match was undoubtedly the fine batting of Mellish. With the exception of one chance his defence was faultless: his hitting was clean and well judged, and he carried out his bat for an invaluable 48? ° E. McLeod and "Laird did good service for their side. The bowling was good {tlveughout. St. Peter’s had perhaps the advantage in fielding though the teams were pretty evenly matched. The cale Wass very pleasantly contested. Umpires, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Green. Following are the scores ;

A London, Ont., despatch of the 16th inst., says: *‘L. Cleverdon, reeve of Strath- roy, warden of the County Middlesex, and superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school, is reported to have skipped, leaving very heavy liabilities and a quantity of forged paper behind. Thursday last he left the town apparently on a_ business trip, which he does three or*four times a week, and. nothing was thought of it at the time. Saturday,however, when he did not returA, inquiries were made for him at his housé, when Mrs. Cleverdon, so it is al- leged, stated that he had gone to Brazil, ind would not be back. This news spread rapidly through the town, yesterday, and
‘reated the greatest excitement. The de- velopments which followed, showed that merchants, bankers, brokers, tsurance
agents and, in fact, everybody had been taken in. One baftk, it is alleged, is in for $18,000, advanced to Cleverdon on forged bills of lading, Cleverdon was one of the largest cheese exporters in Canada. He shipped mostly to a Liverpool firm, and they gave the bank instructions to cash all sight drafts made by Cleverdon on them on production of bills of lading, without wait- ing to first find out if the Liverpool firm would accept them. Cleverdon had been working on this principle for a long time, and,,therefore, when he produced the bills of lading for $18,000 worth of cheese, it excited no suspicion. It is now said that these bills were forged, and that not one pound of cheese was ever shipped.

ite dcapeniiitensiunin The Kellogg Opera Concerts. A Charlottetown audience will have the pleasure of listening to Miss” Clara Louise Kellogg, on Monday night next, for the first time. This distinguished artiste will be welcomed by a crowded house, as the sale of seats has been large. In addition to the concert, the opera Trovatore will be viven in full costume. The Montreal Herald says of her presence in that city: ‘It was a large and enthusiastic audience’ that welcomed the American prima donna last night, after an absence from Montreal of some seven or eight years. The house was filled to the dome, and standing room was the order. Accompanying Miss Kel- logg were Miss Carrie Morse, con- tralto; Sig. Spigaroli, tenor; and Sig. Vincenzo, baritone, each of whom was the recipient of an encore. inthe aria from Ernani, Miss Kellogg received a hearty en- core, and was presented with a handsome basket of flowers. In response she gave My Ain. True Love, which was certainly the gem. of’.the evening. I> Love Thee, by foster;‘also elicited an enthusiastic acknow- | ledgment, and the fair songstress treated her audience to Comin’ Thro the Rye. She had to-again respond in answer to repeated calls, giving the Swanee River for an encore. : Part second inciuded the fourth act of Il Trovyatore, in full costume and stage setting, the whole company being in the cast. Miss Kellogg successfully rendered the part of Leonora, and Signor Spigaroli, as Manrico, was capital. Miss Carrie Morse, as Azucena, and Signor Greco, as the Conte di Luna,-completed the cast.” iii gas laatiahaetioweni
Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who has used 3oschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderfu qualities be known to their friends, in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases, No person can use it without im- mediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all drug- gists to recommend it to the poor, dying con- | sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 50,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your druggist about it. Samples bottles to try; sold at 10 cents.

Our Si. John Letter. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK— THE FRESHET—THE ScoTT ACT.
Tre Globe, with its accustomed menda- city, in its issue of Saturday last, comments upon the business outlook of this city in the following language, or rather, in the following language, divested of verbiage :-
‘‘The business of the city of St. John is not in a condition to justify any favorable com- ment. «It would seem as if a kind of dry rot had taken possession of it. There is no particular financial storm in the business world abroad, Yet we ‘see séme old and staunch firms here, some yuung and vigorous firms, dropping into a decay which is sugges- tive of that fourm of leprosy which seizes upon the physical frame and reduces member after member of the body to helplessness and finally to nothingness. Why isit? In some cases a charge 6f misnanagement or neligence may be made, but such charges, if made and sustained, do not account for all the con- ditions of business, or loss of it, which we witness in St. John to-day. A week or so ago we pointed out the fact that there had nct been for a long time any absolute profit on our export trade with Great Britain, and that in fact that’ trade had been carried on at a heavy loss, which had culminated in absolute disaster. The failure,resulting in compromise, of some large importers of English goods af- fords proof of the fact that as we cannot sell to advantage neither can we buy ‘to advan- tage in England. It is true English goods are low-priced, but when goods are bought in a market in which we are not selling to advan- tage, and these goods have here to meet with an enormous duty on their entry it is clear enough that on our English transactions, the balance against us must eventually drain the ‘life of that trade. Then, again, in our Canadian ~ business, we do not sell to Canada as much as we buy, and the balance must be met in cash. is that balance to come from? Certainly from that foreign trade which we can do profitably; and no foreign trade with gs is so profitable as that of the United States. There are two things wanted for New Brunswick: lower duties and freer trade relations withthe United States. The greatest cause of the troubles which have come upon us is the enor- mous taxation, The profits which should pass ipto the pockets of the people are pags- Ing io the offers of the government, and being squandered in extravagant railway en- terprises, in national parks and in expensive election laws. There is no margin of profit for the dealer. Herein is the secret of the failures in St. John.”
It is rare that an article more misleading
the columns of the St. John Daily Globe. Some two or three firms doing business here, are, I regret to say, temporarily embarrassed. And why?! These firms suffered severely by the fire of 1887, and from that disaster they have never fully recovered, although they have strug- gled manfully to do so, and, JJ believe, will eventually succeed, Now, directly and indirectly, they are again sufferers by the Maritime Bank swindle, by’which the credit of the whole city has been shaken, and in consequence, they have been obliged to suspend or ask for an extension of time. The National Policy has no more to do with the embar- rassment of these firms than it has to do with the freshet that is doing sv much dam- age on the river and its tributaries, or the potato bugs that may harrass the farmers mext summer. Every man of ordinary in- telligence in this city knows.how far fetch- ed are.the Globe's assertions, but abroad, if uncontradicted, they might produce the etfect desired by its editor, viz: an injury to its indu stries. : The flood-is rapidly subsiding, and it is hoped that the resulting damage will be much smaller than was anticipated. Buta small amount of lumber has been last. in the bay, and only five or six houses and barns have been destroyed. Theheaviestlosses are enumerated in ‘the destruction of the New Pier Bridge and the washouts on the Intercolonial and New Brunswick railways. These washouts have been already repaired and trains are running on both roads as usual. “
It was expected that the Scott Act would take effect in Portland on the first instant, but the bar-rooms are all open and _ liquor is sold as freely asever. It is believed that the law will prove a dead letter. It is much to be regretted, for on the Main Street of the city more than fifty liquor shops are at present kept open night and day, and Sundays as well.
Notwithstanding the consternation caused by the failure of the Maritime Bank, the city’s business outlook — is extremely pro- gressing. Our business men are not of the kind that succumbs to difficulties. They have learned by experience and grown
strong through adversity. The fire of ten years ago and the _ fraud
of a few weeks since have given them strength and ‘self-reliance. Among the firms which stand out most prominently in the history of St. John’s business, is that of Manchester, Robertson & Allison, the great wholesale dry goods merchants. They began in a small retail store on Prince William street, about twenty years ago, and now manage successfully the largest wholesale business in their line ever done in the city. They have achieved this position by probity, unwearying attentiou to business and a thorough knowledge of the requirements of the trade. With un- limited credit and favorable rates of freight, they are able to compete success- fully with any house, British or America, seeking to establish relations in the Mari- time provinces, Rex.

British Politics.
THE COERCION BILL.
The proposal that the House of Commons adjourn for the Whitsun holidays, May 24 to June 6, leaves the House only a few nights for the debate on the Coercion bill before adjourn- ment, as all the other sittings will be occupied with the estimates. It is doubtful whether the first clause of the Coercion bill can be passed before adjournment.
Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt proposed an important amendment to the bill. exempting from secret enquiry all proceedings relating to public meetings or agrarian movements, in- cluding combinations to obtain reductions in rent.
The Gladstonians will make this the test amendment. If the government accepts it the bill will be arehlaniel to progress but if the , ee. refuse every possible device will
be used to obstruct the measure.
The government will modify the Irish land bill in the House of Lords. The original
clauses,enabled solvent tenants to appl r redubtion oLrebt untler npigtt in bath tap hby,
