Tue Preerer Mcrper.—The Halifax Echo publishes a sensational statement about the Preeper murder trial. It will be remembered that, after a two weeks’ trial in April last, young Preeper was convicted of the murder of Peter Doyle, and the jury failed to agree on the trial of Mrs. Doyle, as an accessory, so she was held for a new trial. The only real evidence against him was that of Emily Dill- man, a sister of Mrs. Doyle. Now, according to the Echo, Emily has written two letters to Mrs. Doyle in jail, one seut by post, which was opened by the authorities, the other de- livered by a sister in which she states that the whole story she told was a pure fabrication. The Supreme Court meets on Tuesday next to hear an application for a new trial made on behalf of Preeper, when the whole matter will be brought to light.

International Cricket.

Toronro, Ont., July 3. There was great interest taken by the one thousand spectators in the Interna- tional cricket match between Canada and the United States on the Toronto cricket grounds. Play was commenced at 11 o'clock sharp. The Americans won the toss and began batting on \ ery good wickets The first two men, Patterson and Morgan, were in for an hour and a quarter for 22! Brockie, who followed, made 51 in fine style. Walter Scott also batted in good form. The team was very strong in bat- ting, nearly all the men securing double figures and the total reaching 205. The Canadians bowled and fielded pluckily but when their turn came to bat, they evi- dently felt the effects of their outing, as they were all out in little over two hours for 79. Jones and Harkley made a fine at- tempt to save the match, but the former, after obtaining 22, was caught and the rest of the side failed altogether except Harley, who got 16. The wickets crumbled a good deal, and the bowlers were able to get a lot of work on the ball. Brewster got 5 wickets for 13 runs, a won- derful performance in a match of such im-

portance. The Americans fielded magnifi- cently, and gave a fine exhibition of

cricket all round. The game will be con- tinued to-morrow,

cipitated into the water. Garrett rose to ithe surface once and then sank; the two | boys clung to the bottomof the upturned | boat, and called loudly for assistance.

A farmer named John Dunn witnessed the accident, and as quickly as possible | procured a small boat, and rowing Out to ithe scene, took the two boys, who were much fatigued and badly scared, from their perilous position. He looked about for Garrett but he was nowhere to be seen. He had sunk to rise no more.
