Queens County Election Case. DECLARED ELECTED-——JENKINS TO PAY COSTS.
BRECKEN
This forenoon Judge Peters delivered a lengthy decision, of which tbe follow- ing 18 the conclusion of the whole mat- ter :—
The result is that Lam of opinion that there is nothing to justify we im declaring this election void; and I declare that the
titioner Frederiek de St. Croix Brecken is duly elected a member of the Dominion Parliament fot Queens County ; and I order that the costs and expenses of this case be paid to the petitioner (Brecken) by the respondent (Jenkins), and 1 shal! certify this to the Speaker of the House of Com
mors together with the reasons for my decision. —_—_————— — + aoe @ o- Steam Wanted. Tue fine weather continues; Char-
lottetown harbor is still open; a great deal of produce remains here to be shipped off; markets in the neighboring Provinces are pretty good,—and, of course, there is a large amount of * talk ’ about the felt want of a suitable steamer.
In this ** talk” there is too much of mere idle complaint and not eneugh of business. We rail against the Steam Navigation Company, for vot having a screw-boat ;—as if having performed a most important service for the Province ia supplying what we wanted twenty years ago, they are proper subjects of blame because they cannot see their way clear to supplying what we want how. And then we say ‘how ridiculous to keep the *‘ St. Lawrence” and *‘ Princess of Wales” lying at the head of the wharf when they might be crossing to and from Pictou avd Charlottetown évery day ;” as if this fine weather could have been forseen from the point of view we had a fortnight ago, when winter in its severest aspect, seemed to be upon us. No doubt ‘the Steam Navigation Company, as well as other people, regret the loss we have suffered bythe pre- mature stoppage of the steamers ; but we can hardly, in fairness, blame them, because they did not kuow a fortnight ago that there would come an unusually fine spell of weather, and that there would be yo ice to impede navigation until “after Christmas. How few of us (‘heir eritics) can see into the middle of next week! It must be remembered, too, that the Steam Navigation Com- pany’s Steamers are mere “summer boats ;” and it is not surprising that they have a dread of winter blizzards, es-
pecially after the buoys have been taken
But the “talkers” don’t stop at the Steam Navigation Company. They attack’the Government, and say the Province is “‘ilJ-treated.” So it is; but is it fair to blame the Government? We think not. The Government have honotably paid their subsidies, and have not shown any unwillingness to assist any enterprise for the promotion of our trade relations. At the desire of our representatives, they offered $10,000 a year, to open up a trade in cattle, etc., between this province and the Mother Country ; and then our Ocean Steamship Company—just at the time when the enterprise should have been energetically pushed, and could have been successfully carried on—sold their steamer, and have not provided another. The ‘‘Prince Edward,” it is said, was not suitable te the trade; and the Company may have had good cause to sell her. But surely it is the height of nonsense to stand, with our hands in our pockets, blaming
the Goverpment because we don’t take advantage. of the $10,000 subsidy they have graated! The
Government would no doubt be glad to assist any reasonable effort for the improvement of our trade relations between the neighboring Provinces. But we wont make the effort. We “ talk” a great deal; but we do—uvothing ; aud we complain becanse nothing is done for us. Study the history of any enter- prise ever established, read the history of all the Steamship Lines and Railway! Lines by which trade is promoted throughout the world—it will be found that not ove ever succeeded by the adoption of such a policy as we are now pursuing! What we want is practical effort. Though we have lost a great deal of money, we have stil] a large sum idJe in the banks. Why don’: we use it? The Government encourage us to employ it im manufactures; and they hold out a helping hand whenever we do anything With it towards extending our trade. In Great Britain, in the neighboring Provinces, in the United States, in the West Indies, we can now sell, readily, cattle, sheep, horses, eggs, butter and other articles. The demand for these things is good; and we should ourselves set about obtaining the steamer’ or steamers which are required as a means of supplying it. Who'll- take steps towards obtaining a goud screw steamer to trade between the Island and the main- laod—one which could be used until the ice has fairly closed our harbors? The man or company who has such a steamer, will stand the best chance of obtaining the next contract to carry the mailse— indeed we hope the Government will not make a contract with any man or com- pauy who has not such a steamer—and, such a man or company would probably fiud uo great difficulty in obtaining all the assistance. required until such time wt ® payiog watic is fairly established.

Terrible Shooting Affray at Prince- town.
ee |
’ '
SHOT BY A CANNOT |
| WILLIAM WALLACE FATALLY
FARMER NAMED HOWEL—** HE | RECOVER.”
On Saturday evening last a terrible shooting affray occurred in the quiet settle- ment of Princetown. William Wallace a well-to-do farmer of that place, was fatally shot by an old and eccentric individual named Howel. The story of the sad aifafr is told as follows :—
After haying, Howill borrowed a number of longers from Mr. Wallace (who lives next farm to him) to fence in his haystack. Last week the hay was removed, and Wallace thinking Howel would use the borrowed longers for firewood, went on Saturday night to take them from Howel’s to his own premises. Old man Howell was not asked to return the longers, and when Wallace and his brother, on Saturday even ing between seven and eight o’clock went to remove them, he appeared on the scene with a shot gun in hand aad ordered them off. They went ; and the old man followed them until they had crossed their own fence. He was then three yards in their rear, and raising the gun he fired and lodged the charge in Wallace’s body. It entered above the hip joint, tore the intestines horribly and lodged in the inner part of the thigh. After shooting Wallace, Howel reversed the gun and levelled a blow at Wallace's brother, who received the full force of the blow in the head. He, however, succeeded in wresting the gun from Howel, who on losing it ramfer his house. The wounded man was carried to his residence and Dr. Bearsto, of Summerside, Dr. Darracih, of Kensington, and Dr. Kier, of Malpeque, were called to his assistance, but they could do nothing further than for a time alleviate his pain. It is the opinion, we learn, that the unfortunate man cannot live.
Howel was yesterday morning arrested and lodged in Prince County Jail. He isa
|
man sixty years of age in comfortable cir- cumstances, and has a wife and family. Wallace isa married man about thirty- five years of age, and has a family of two children. The affair creates great excitement in Prince County.
Horrible Death in a Mill
A MILLER’S SON CAUGHT IN A BELT, CARRIED AROUND THE SHAFT AND KILLED.
A young son of Mr. Charles Keith, Miller, Montague River, met with a horrible death on Saturday. Mr. Keith and an elder son had gone to dinner and had left the younger son in charge of the mill. While at dinner they heard a dreadful noise in the mill. They repaired to ii at once, and were horrified to find the young man entangled in one of the belts of the Grist Mill, and being carried rapidly around the shaft. The machinery was stopped as soon as possible, and the body was ex- tricated, but it was so horribly mangled that hfe became extinct in a few moments after. The deceased was a very intelligent boy of sixteen years. Mr. Keith and family have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement
Legs Broken.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT AT FREETOWN—ANOTHER AT GEORGETOWN.
Mrs. Crossman, mother of Mr. Henry Crossman, Freetcwn; met with a very pain- ful accident at Freetown yesterday. Her grandehildren had been doing some work in the cellar, and in coming out of it left the hatch epen. Mrs. Crossman, walking in the direction of the hatchway, did not perceive it open. She fell in and had one of her legs broken and her body seriously shaken. Dr. Wall-was summoned and set the broken limb. Mrs. Crossman is doing as well as can be expected under the cir- cumstances.
A son of Mr. Cameron, tailor, George- town, aged sixteen years, had a leg acci- dentally broken on Saturday. He waa watching a number of men at work moving a house. While standing near the capstan the chain snapped and struck him on the leg, breaking it above the knee. It was first thought the leg would have to be am- putated; but Dr, Kaye dispelled these fears yesterday by setting the broken limb.
Burglary at ummerside, and in Charlottetown. The store of Mr. John McKenzie,
Summerside, was entered by burglars on Saturday night. The goods taken consisted of one web of cloth, four woollen shirts, one pair pants, two caps and sundry other articles. Mr. Pinkerton successfully work- ed up the case,and discovered a man named McNeill in the act of hiding the stolen goods under a barn in the rear of Mr. Muirhead’s premises. McNeill was arrest- ed and examined before the Stipendiary Magistrate to-day.
The store of Mr. T. J. Farquharson, on Queen street, was broken into last night and a quantity of crockeryware and four sheepskins were stolen therefrom. The watchman, Trainor, saw Patrick Cavanagh emerging from the premises and on ex- amining the yard found the sheepskins ; but the crockeryware was gone, Cavanagh
