and intoxicating liquors are making money faster, perhaps, than any other class in the community. Those who drink (even those who drink to excess, and are known to be carrying their wives and families over the rough and ragged road of anxiety, poverty and despair) are plied with all the liquor they can pay for. There are men and women (so called) who will sell liquor to persons who have lost control f their ap- petites, and for whom the intoxicating cup carries inevitable misery and death, and neither the law of God nor man interfere to hinder them. The temperance movement has been crushed under the revulsion which has followed an unsuccessful attempt to carry a prohibitory law,—which does not prohibit importation and is net supported by the moral sentiment of the people.

As the advice of THe EXaMINER was re- jected, we shall not say what should, in our opinion, now he done. We may however, be permitted to point out that action of some kind is needed in the interests of our

drunkards and the community at large. ————-—— Ge Geo ——-—

The Pennsylvania Horror. We usually hear the worst of a catastrophe at the outset. But later reports concerning the calamity of Johnstown and neighboring

towns are ten times more horrible than

those at first received. Whole towns have been destroyed, and the mass of their popu- lace buried in the ruins. A thousand bodies have, it appears, been recovered, and many thousands still remain to putrify and_pol- lute the surrounding air. We are told that:

**At Johnstown the chief sensation has been the united remonstrance of physicians against the extinguishment of the burning wreck. They maintain, witha philosophy what to the anxious searchers seems heart- less, that hundreds, if not thousands of life- less and decaying bodies lie beneath the mass of burning ruins. It would be better, they say, to permit nature’s greatest scaven- ger, the flames, to pursue their work unmol- ested than to expose the further decay of a horde of putrifying bodies that lie beneath this debris. Days will elapse before the rubbish can be sutticiently removed to per- mit recovery of these bodies and long ere that every corpse will have become a putrid mass. The stench that already rises is the forerunner of impending danger. The warnings of science were lost in the eager demands of those who sought the remains of those mearfand dear. The hose was again turned upon the hissing mass, and rapidly the flames yielded. It is almost impossible to conceive the extent of these smoking ruins. An area of 8 or 10 inches above the dam is covered to the depth of 40 feet with shattered houses from the resident centre of Johnstown, and in each of these houses it is estimated were from one to 20 or 25 peuple. This is accepted as data upon which to estimate the number that perished on the spot, and if the data be correct, the bodies that lie beneath these ruins must run well up into the thousands. Adjutant-General Hastings, who has charge of everything, stated that he supposed there were at least 2,000 people under the burning debris, and anywhere from 400 to 800 lost. The most destruction in a [single house occurred at the Hurlbut hotel, where there were 57 people in the house when the torrent come down. Of these only ten are living.

**Mrs. Ogile, the Western Union tele- graph manager, who died at her post, will go down to history as a heroine. Notwith- standing repeated notifications she received to get out of reach of approaching danger, she stood by her instruments with unflinch- ing loyalty and undaunted courage, send- ing words of warning to those in danger in the valley below. When every station in the path of the coming torrent had been warned, she wired her companion at South Fork : ‘ This is my last message,’ and that very moment the torrent engulfed her and bore her from her post on earth to her post of honor in the great beyond.”

Notes and Clippings.

—It is understood that the Stipendiary Magistrate has a rod in pickle for boys who hack the ornamental trees in the streets, or interfere with the fountain in the Square. Boys caught doing acts of vandalism, dis- gracefulto chemselves and their town, will, no doubt ** catch it sweetly.”

—It is stated that a syndicate in London intend to construct a number of screw pro- pellers to be used for traffic over the Chig- necto Ship Railway, to maintain communi- cation between the West Indies, St. John, Montreal, and to ports even further West, as by this means vessels suited to the West- ern canal locks may sofely proceed even as far as Port Arthur without breaking bulk.

—ASt. John, N. B., despatch reports that ** after two years of free rum in the old Portland district, an effort is to be made to enforce the the Szott Act, and the inspector of police for the northern district has been instructed to report all selling liquor.

Philharmonic Seciety.

Aw excellent and well attended practice of the Philharmonic Society was held in their hall last night. Although heavy rain was pouring between seven and eight o'clock, thirty-four of the members were present, and the preparatory musical reac ing of three very tine choruses for the com- ing concert in July was pretty thoroughly done. It argues well for the interest taken in the Society, to see members attending practices in such wretched weather as that of last night. It is now understood that, no matter how wild the weather is, there will always be Philharmonic Society prac- tice on Tuesday evenings, so that no mem-

ber need ever stay at home with the idea that probably there will be no practice. An hour of steady practice, without any unnecessary delays

for chattering has been the time heretofore expended. Last night the conductor put the question to the vote of the singers, and it was decided unanimously that for the future they would be willing to sing steadily for an hour and a half at the practices. This willingness to do hard work is one of the best indications that the society will be

successful.

War Seems Imminent

RUSSIA MAKING GREAT MILITARY PREPARA- TIONS. A London despatch says: The military preparations throughout Russia are more exteusive now than at any time within the past seven years, being on ascale to suggest that war is imminent. The miiitary party profess to believe that peace will be main- tained till the end of the year, although it is admitted that Russia is watching with jealous concern the development of the triple alliance, and it is even asserted that commanders have already been designated for service in the event of war. It is generally believed that this warlike attitude of Rus- sia is partially due to King Humbert’s visit to Berlin, and the close political relations believed to have been furthered thereby between Germany and Italy. It is quite likely, however, that other causes contri- bute quite as largely to this activity. The riots reported from Belgrade are undoubt- edly cutting out work for the Russian sol- diery, and it is only a question of time when active Russian interference in the affairs of Russia will supplement the in- trigues of Russian diplomatic agents. The 1and of Russia is plainly discernible hroughout these complications. The im- nediate cause of the rioting was the offence aken by the Russian party at the Pro-

I t I

t

gressists proclaiming the justice of the dismissal of the Metropolitan Michael. Russian influences are at work to bring

about a state of anarchy in Servia, with a view to making this the pretext for open interference.

Letter from Mr. Carney.

Sir, —Yesterday’s issue of your paper con- tained a letter from an anonymous writer igned ‘‘Citizen,” inwhich he misrepresents my position generally. I cannot answer any ritic unless such criticism is written over bona fide signature. If they fear the ublication of a proper name, they need ot expect a reply. I have only to say that ‘** Citizen” will attend the Lyceum on ext Sunday afternoon, he will learn more ully ‘‘ what I believe, and the reasons or my faith.” Respectfully yours, James F, CaRNeEy.

Personal. Rev. A. E. Burke, P. P., of Alberton, was in town to-day, en route to Georgetown. Monsigneur Emond Langevin, Vicar- teneral of the Rimouski diocese, and brother ot Sir Hector and of Bishop Langevin is dead. Queen Victoria sent an open and a closed carriage to the station to meet United States Minister Lincoln, who chose the open car- riage. Rev. A. Lucas intends visiting England during the summer. He will go as a dele- gate from the Sunday School Union of New Brunswick. The Rev. Wm. Harrison intends leaving for ten weeks trip to England towards the end of June. His workon the Bedeque Circuit will be attended to during his absence by Rev. F. Wightman. Rev. Egerton Ryerson Young, for many years Methodist Missionary to the Cree Indians, made what the 7'imes designates the best address at the great missionary meeting held in Exter Hall, London.

ailaliasasiliiaaaaapiartiaaeaie Fashions for June. (By permission from ‘‘ Weldon’s Ladies’ Journal.’”’)

There is not the slightest doubt but that Fashion is in a transition state just now, and styles that have been settled for years past, or which have at least only undergone slight modifications from season to season, are gradually disappearing, and new devices taking their place.

Take, for instance, bodices and closely- fitting coat sleeves, which have held their own for a very long time, but are now gradually being replaced by redingotes, directoire coats, polonaises, and even the graceful princess style, with full sleeves, pufferies, yokes, ruffles, flounces and fur- belows are looming up in the near future. The tournure becomes almost conspicious by its absence, at least very little bustle is worn.

Low-crowned hats and small bonnets are tho heighth of elegance.

With the directoire and Redingote dresses it has been difficult to select a mantle, the dolmans and dolmanettes so long worn, not being suited to them, there- fore lace capes and pelerines have appeared and are very becoming to the modern style of dress.

There is a fashion in veils, as in every- thing else, and, instead of dividing the face as hitherto, they are worn just to the top of the chin.

Lace hats, made on tulle frames, are very dressy and becoming.

In Memoriam.

ON THE DEATH OF DANIEL F, WELSH, WHO DIE AT NARROWS CREEK, P. E, 1, ON APRIL 25TH, 1889, AGED 24 YEARS.

Thou art gone, but not forgotten, Oh! tis hard from you to part;

Rut im heaven with joy we'll greet you, Where no sorrow grieves the heart.

Death's chilly arms stole round you, Their touch we'll know full well; Just budding into manhood, Like a summer's leaf you fell.

Your eye lit up with hope and youth, And prospects bright before; ‘ That generous, manly heart of thine

Shall feel that pulse no more.

On your bed you lay in anguish, Sorely tried with racking pain,

Yet no one has ever known you E’er to murmur or complain,

Your manly form is in the clay, The jewel is in the crown;

On resurrection day to join And greet that heavenly band.

Thou hast teft this vale of sorrow In the realms above to live,

To enjoy eternal glory, Which this world can never give.

In a green and shady churchyard, W here the flowers are blooming fair, And the brooklet murmurs gently, Thou dost rest from grief and care.

No more your cheering voice we'll heart Your counsel true and kind;

Though time will merely heal the wound, A mark is left behind.

The last sad rites are ended, We laid you in your grave, Where the songsters warble sweetest And the birchen branches wave. Death's stormy scene changed to a calm By His command and will; Your manly form so racked by pain Now quiet is and still. H. McD. Narrows Creek, June 4th, 1889.
