The Letellier Matter.

‘un Montreal Gazette publishes the fol-

lowing dispatch : (‘py SPECIAL CABLE. | ‘* Lonpon, June 17.

‘<The Imperial Goyernment has decided ie refer back the Letellier matter to the Dominion authorities. Of course this means M. Letellier’s dismissal.’

' And remarks :

‘‘ This exposes tlie miserable and des- picable ‘attempt of the Globe to influence the pending elections in this Province, by publishing a false report of the decision of the Privy Council, and may be regarded as finally disposing of the question, as ad- vised by the Dominion Government.”

The Gubernatorial Chair.

Sin Roverr’s term will soon be up; and, during the week, rumor has been busy re- specting his successor. One day it was re- ported that Senator Haviland was to be our next Governor. The next it was asserted that Senator Montgomery was to be the man. Then the Hon. Joseph Pope was talked of; and last of all, it was declared that the Minister of Marine and Fisheries would resign the position he now holds‘and take charge of Government House. Time has not yet shown who (if any) was right. Sir Robert’s term will be up on or about

the 4th of July.

There are seven in all; and they are very tasteful and costly. Two—one a gold and the other a silver medal—are to be presented by E. J.

Hodgson to the girl who excels in English History. In the centre of each of these medals is a crest under which is engraved,—‘‘IN Hoc sIGNO

When the time comes for the English people tofsay hew the Minis- ters discharge their trust, they must not fail to bear in mind ths difficulties the Goy- ernment haye had to te encounter.

‘THE WOULD-BE MURDERER TRACKED A | SHORT DISTANCE.

j _~

‘The Victim Dangeroasly Wounded.

Intense excitement prevails at Sackville, N. B., in reference to the cowardly ana dastardly attempt to assassinate [srael Atkinson, on the night of Wednesday last. The following are -the facts of the case: About ten o'clock last night Israel Atkinson left Mr. Richardsen’s store for his home in the lower pertion of the village. While proceeding along near Cemetery street a shot was fired at him from behind. He turned around exclaiming

‘CoH | YOU HAVE SHOT ME,”

and saw a man standing about 40 feet from him onthe road side. The man ran down the road in the direction of Richardson’s store. Mr. Atkinson managed to walk as far as Drs. Fleming’s & Moore’s when he was met at the door by Dr. Fleming, who having heard the shot, was coming out to investigate it. Constables Boyce and Cole, with a number of others, attracted by the shot, soon made their appearanee‘and pro- ceeded to look for the would-be assassin by means of lanterns. Tracks were discovered

‘on the road which led across the field to the

main road, and frem thence through grounds of the Ladies’ Academy to Cemetery street, and then the tracks were lost.

LOOKING FOR THE WEAPON.

Sheriff Botsford and Deputy Sheriff Charters arrived at an early hour and, in company with the constables, kept up a search aJl day, examining the woods in the vicinity with the hope of finding the gun which the assassin had fired, supposing that he had concealed it in his flight, but up to the present the whole affair remains a mystery.

A young man named Charles Coban, who was in Richardson’s ‘store when Aitkinson was there, says he heard a footstep on the outside walk and saw a face at the window dissappearing instantly but did not recog- nize it. From this it would appear as if the ruffian was watching this victim’s movements, bunt as robbery could not have been his motive—as Atkin- sen cannot think of a single enemy—it is thought by some he was taken for some one else. Several rumors are afloat.

SUSPICIONS ARE INDULGED IN

by the residents, but as none af these can be placed with any shadow ot evidence on any one they cannot be entertained. It is alleged by some that there were two reports

.,of a gun in quick succession, while others

claim it was only the echo, but frem the manner in which the unfortunate man is riddled, it would be impossible for the shot to scatter so much at a short distance. A large number of what is termed ‘‘ Goose” shot extended from the shoulders to the hips.

THE MOST DANGEROUS SHOTS

are those that entered the left lung. His case is a serious one, although not altogether hopeless. He feels a little easier.

- Mr., Atkinson is about 30 or 40 years of age, and isa widower with a number of children. The Sheriff and Constables are using every endeavor to trace the criminal and secure his arrest.

The ex- pedition camped at Two Brooks, last night, and, starting early this ,morning, reached camp at noon to-day. All are in good health and spirits, and the prospects for sport are good. Capt. Harbord hooked a black salmon this a.m., but failed to land him. Fishing did not commence in earnest, however, till this p.m., after Mr. Mowatt left.
