Tue Mayor and Council of the City of St. John have invited the Marquis of Lorne and Princess Louise to visit their City.

THe steamer Miramichi arrived from Montreal this morning, with a cargo of merchandize, and sailed again at 2 o’clock, p. m.

In the trotting races at Truro, on Wed- nesday, ‘‘Nellie Thorne” won the 2.34 race; ‘‘Discount” second. ‘‘Pendleton’s Panacea” won the 2.40 race, with ‘‘Charlie Slipp” second and ‘‘French Sporter” third.

Cyritte Dion, the celebrated billiard player, died at Montreal, on Tuesday, of congestion of the lungs. His death was unexpected, for he had gone to Montreal to witness the Hanlan-Courtney race. Dion’s record as a billiard player is a very brilliant one.

De Sr. Grorces (Grit), who it will be remembered was elected by the casting vote of the Returning Officer for Portneuf, Que- bec, has been ‘* counted out” and tie seat given to Mr. Valles, Conservative. We have yet to hear of a Conservative losing his seat by a recount of ballots.

As will be seen by advertisment the Band of the 62nd Battalion of St. John intend giving two Concerts in this City on the evenings of the 15th and 16th. The Company will arrive by steamboat-train on Monday evening, 14th inst., and play from the Depot to the Revere House. During their two days’ visit they will march through the City and discourse choice music. We feel satisfied that a rich treat is in store for our citizen:.

Tue scarcity of water at the Northern end of the city was particularly noticeable at the time of the fire yesterday. ‘‘No water ! No water!” was the universal cry among the firemen. Had a strong wind been blowing at the} time, we would, with- out doubt, have had to chronicle a terrible conflagration. When will our citizens awake to the immediate necessity of a bountiful supply of water. It will be too late to repent our apathy when the city is laid in ashes.

Two fellows named Patrick Lamb and James McIntyre were arrested yesterday evening, on the suspicion of being impli- cated in the Baldwin robbery; and another slight link of circumstantial evidence has been realized. Among the articles stolen was some orange paint, and some of this was smeared on their clothes. The police, on going to the house where the men boarded, found some of the orange paint on the towel which Troy had used in washing himself.

Cricket— AvusTRALiIA vs. New Yorx.— The Australian Cricket eleven, now on a visit to America, would appear to be al- most perfection in their line. They played an 18 from the St. George’s Club, of New York, a match came, finishing on Wednes- day, a defeating the New Yorkers by one run with the loss of only 5 wickets on their second innings. Base ball is about the only game or sport in which Americans excel, Canadians probably controlling the oar, and both the Australians and British excelling our American cousins at cricket.

Tuat old Grit Annexation organ, the Halifax Chronicle, is threatening the seces- sion of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and P. E. Island fromthe Union if the Na- tional Policy of Sir John is put into opera- tion. The Chronicle should not get unduly excited. It is hardly probable, at least, that Nova Scotia and P. E. Island, both aeclaring by a three-fourths vote in favor of the National Policy, will demand seces- sion from the Union because that policy is put into operation, and simply to please the Annexationist editors of the Chronicle.— Times.

Mrs. YEomaANs will deliver an earnest ap- peal on behalf of Total Abstinence and the Canada Temperance Act, on Sundav (to-morrow) evening after the various Church services are over, at a quarter past eight o'clock, in the Market Hail. Mrs. Yeomans, besides being an earnest, indefa- tigeble worker in the greatest cause, isa very eloquent and pleasing speaker. Do not lose the opportunity of hearing a lady —who can not only talk — but talk eloquent- ly, logically and well. Clergymen of the different denominations in the city, and the officers of the several Temperance bodies, are especially invited te take seats on the platform. A collection will be taken up to defray the expenses.

Newport has a new excitement. Vice Admiral Inglefield and the other British naval officers who were feted and lionized by the fashionable people who make New- port their summer headquarters have gone away, but they are not forgotten. At the instance of a number of taxpayers, the Su. preme Court of Rhode Island has issued an injunction restraining the Newpert City Treasurer from paying the bills for the grand ball given in honor of the British

ests on Sept. 9. The ball was a wonder- ul affair in its way, and, of course, only the most aristocratic element of Newport had an opportunity to enjoy it. The tax- payers who had nothing to do with it, and, who did not subscribe to toadyism in any- way, think it unjust that they should be

‘The carcass was claimed and carried away

New York, Sept. 28. ~ While the Stevens, a cattle barge propellor, that plies day and night between the Erie dock in New Jersey and different abattoirs in this city, was dis- charging a load of Texan sieers on Sunday night, there was a stampede. Seven or; eight steers escaped, and under cover of darkness some could not be followed. Their course cannot be ascertained, but two or three rambled about the streets until they reached Upper Centra! Park. In the morn- ing the first to start on a tour of adventure was a great black fellow with white spots. He was first given chase by a Manhattan- ville police officer, on Eighth Avenue, who peppered him with his revolver, but to no effect except to :nake him furious. Then, attracted by the sound of shooting, ap- peared Officer Dunn, whose days of ayility are over by reason of a_ well-developed stomach. Out was whisked the officer’s pistol. Along forged the animal, paw- ing the soil and snorting steam. He made straight for the officer, who, think. ing discretion to be the better part, put up his weapon and scrambled to a high board fence. Just as he had balanced himself on the top board and was trying to wriggle over to the other side, he was roughly assisted by a powerful skull and a pair of horns, that tore out the ul- terior fragments of his pantaloons and sent him to grass on the safe side of the fence. Then at a rapid pace the steer continued up Eighth avenue. By this time half a dozen police officers were following him. The Sergeant at Manhattanville telegraphed to Capt. Steers, at the 152nd street police station, that the enemy was abroad and travelling into the upper precinct. Capt. Steers sent out his entire reserve force of 15 men. The police officers scattered, that they might be sure to catch the Texan traveller. Meanwhile the animal trotted up Eigth avenue, stopping occasionally to shake its head, snort and paw. At Eighth avenue and 105th street it met an Eighth avenue car full of passengers. The car was painted red. The steer stopped and stared at it with all his} hoofs firmly planted Then, lowering his head, he dashed at the car, striking it amidships in the centre of the red, and nearly knocked it from the track. The passengers madea _ wild rush to get out, but whenever anyone attempted to descend from the platform the steer

menaced an assault, and the passen- gers retreated into, the car. The conduc- tor sought safety inside, and _ hastily

pulled up the blinds and shut the doors. Then the steer pranced around to the other side of the car and butted it again. The police officers had caught up by this time, but dared ot shoot lest they should hit the passengers. The animal then #an_ into Munzinger’s lane, leading to a rocky bluff, whose base was not far from Seventh Av- enue and 149th Street. The precipitous height is not guarded by fence or other ob- struction, and when the steer reached the edge he could not stop, and toppled over. Down he rolled, endwise and sidewise, until he struck bottom. But he was not killed. He got to his feat and found him- self surrounded by police officers. Some from the Manhattanville police were mount- ed, and they galloped around and around the animal discharging their revolvers into him. The bullets for some time seem- ed to irritate the beast. But he had grown too weak to fight, so he kneeled down. Then a valiant milkman, Timothy Mulcare by name, hurried along with an axe with which to knock in the creature’s skull. Drawing himself up for a tremendous blow, Mulcare brought the axe down sidewise on the steer’s forehead with a resounding whack, but the animal bounded to his feet and butted Muleare, rolling him over and over in the dual. Only the brute’s inabili- ty, through increasing weakness, to gore him, saved Mulcare’s life. After the po- licemen had emptied their revolvers, the steer began to bleed from his nose and mouth, and from the numerous wounds, and in a few minutes was dead. Between sixty and seventy bullets were shot into him, and over a hundred shots were fired.

by a man who had come in a wagon from Forty-fifth street and First avenue in search of the animal. In the afternoon another steer was shot at Eighty-seventh street and Eighth avenue. Three other steers entered Central Park at Ninety-sixth street and Eighth avenue. Otticer Dusenberry endeavored to head them off, but, with heads lowered, they charged past him. Word was sent to the arsenal, and Captain Corcoran called out his reserves. On seeing the police officers the steers separated. Mr. Harry Ryan, of Mount St. Vincent Hotel, shot one at noon. Officer Bernhard heard the cries of a woman at Ninety-sixth street. He found a nurse with two small children trying to evade a large steer. The officer shot it through the heart.

SYDNEY COAL. REDUCTION IN PRICE

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

HE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA.

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the

— that the price of SYDNEY COAL has n

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs.,

a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years Ee the prices of other Cape Breton coals have

en regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasti qualities of SYDNEY COAL when college’ with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

he General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ** EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SY DNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sTaNDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

1t has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving

orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal, The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed upon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished witha certificate of the cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal” is registered under the |

laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties

using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY CUAL” are liable to prosecution.
