(Seectan Terearam to THe Examiner. | ST. JOHN, N. B., Feb. 5.

Marshal Cameron, of Charlottetown, who for the arrest of Mrs. R. T. Weeks, charging her with being implicated in an attempt on the life of Mrs. Jas. M. Sutherland,arrived here by midnight train last night. He was met by Detective Ring who, in compliance with a despxtch from Attorney-General McLeod, of Char- lortetown, had taken Mrs. Weeks under his care.

She was some- In conversation with Detective Ring, since her detention, Mrs. Weeks said that she was very sorry Charlottetown. She became aware on Friday night that her name was being mentioned in “connection with the attempt at poisoning, and foolish- ly left the city. She had not, she told the Detective, been in Mrs. Sutherland's house for upwards of one year and a half. De- tective Ring said the statement that Mrs. Weeks told him that she was advised" by Mr. Sutherland’s friends to leave the city, and that they had provided her with funds for the purpose, was untrue.

Funerai of George Davies, Esq.

Tue funeral of the late George Davies, Esq., place from his residence at Brighton this afternoon, and the procession following the hearse to the depot indicated the esteem im which he was held by all classes throughout the community. For the last thirty-eight years his familiar form may have been seen almost daily in the neighborhood of the London House, where at one time, under his chieftainship, was done a most flourishing business, which ex- tended its operations to nearly every part of the Island.

Mr. Davies was from Pembrokeshire, in Wales, and came to the Island when a very young man, in the employment of his cousin, the Hon. Daniel Davies. He grew up amongst us, leading a pure, unblemished liie, and earned for himself the enviable reputation of a man of truthfulnsss and sterling integrity. His charities were large and many wiil miss the benevolences which flowed from his generous hands. His social life was characterised by many excel- lencies; but unobtrusive and retiring in his disposition, one had to know him in order to discover fully the more delicate lineaments and fine qualities of his nature.

Mr. Davies was « member of and a pillor in the Baptist Church, but was finely Catholic in spirit, and,a man whose religious view. }:nd principles no creeds cou!d narrow. He died as he lived, in love with all men, and with an unshaken faith in God’s mercy through Jesus Christ.

ANOTHER DESPATCH, Sr. Jous, N. B., Feb. 5.

City Marshal Cameron arrived here by midnight train with a warrant for the ar- rest of Mrs. R. T. Weeks, charged with being implicated in the attempt at poisun- ing Mrs. Sutherland by putting arsenic in her medicine. Mrs. Weeks is now lying ill at the Dufferin Hotel, the result of a cold she contracted in her flight from Charlottetown on Saturday morning last. Dr. McLaren has been attending her and sheisannounced to bealittle better to-night. Her sister, Mrs. Thompson, of Moncton, is here looking after her, and nobody is allowed to see her. The full nature of the complaint has not been made known to her, as it is feared such news would have a bad effect in her present condition, nor dves she know she is under arrest though the situation is known to her sister who has apprised her friends. It is doubtful if Mrs. Weeks can be removed for several days.

Cutting the Telegraph Wire

Another Act in the Drama.

THe telegraph wire extending from Charlottetown to Cape Traverse was de- liberately cut by some person during the night of Saturday last.

A representative of THe EXAMINER ex- amined the cut ends of the wire this fore- noon. There can be no doubt that they were tiled off, as the cut was in the form of a notch.

The cut was made near Cornwall. It was, undoubtedly, made for the purpose of stopping commuuication with the Main- land. But the perpetrator of the outrage evidently forgot or did not know that com- munication could be maintained by another ine.

AN EXPLANATION.

[t may be well to explain that the medi- cine for Mrs. Sutherland, in which the arsenic was found, was simple whiskey. The other medicine prescribed’ by Dr. Johnson was not tampered with.

An Erroneous Report.

For several days past a report has been in circulation that one of the Evans’, a brother-in-law of William Millman who was hanged for the murder of Mary Tuplin about two years ago, died in California lately, and that previous to his death he had made a confession stating that he was implicated in the murder, which alleged coufession was published in a California paper.

For the purpose of ascertaining the truth or falsity of the story, Tuz Examiner’s re- porter this afternoon interviewed Rev. T. B. Reagh, pastor of St. Mark’s Church,

Ottawa Correspondence. |

[From Our Own Corresronpenr. |

Legislation during the week has been quiet, and the House has sat for on hour or two each day. More than 40 members are still absent.

A large delegation of bankers had an in- terview with the Finance Minister the other day on the Governments proposed Banking Act. ‘The conference was private, no representatives of the press being ad- mitted. It is generally known, however, that the bankers urged upon the Finance Minister the continuance of the present currency system, and that means be adopt- ed for the greater security of the issue. They propose that the bills of all banks shall be accepted by other banks at par, no matter what distance from the place of issue, and they formulate a scheme for carrying their proposition into effect. To make the circulation more secure they pro- pose the establishment of a guarantee fund to which each bank shall annually contribute according to its circulation. The proceeds to be deposited with the Govern- ment, and in the event of a bank failure, its notes shall be redeemed out of this fund, which will be recouped when the assets are realized. The delegation strong: | ly protested against the incorporation of baaks with small capital.

A few tigures regarding Government) circulation may not be uninteresting. The | issue of Dominion notes is limited to $20,- | 000,000, but does not exceed $15,500,000. Not more than $4,000,000 can be issued ia any one year, and only $1,000,000 at a time. ‘Twenty-five per cent. of the cireul-| ation must be held by the government in! gold or British securities, and the other 75 per cent. in Dominion bonds. Canada has | a silver and copper coinage, but none of gold. The Government make a handsome | protit out of the business. In 1888 they) bought $180,000 worth of silver coins for | less than $129,000, and $40,000 worth of copper coins for a trifle over $15,000.

The bill relating to promissory notes and bills of exchange occupied the attention of the House for the greater part of one day’s | sitting. It is a rescript of the measure in- | troduced last year tor the purpose of ac-' quainting the members with its general | principles, and which was subsequently | withdrawn with the intention of bringing | it up this session. The draft bil had been | laid before leading bankers and commer- | cial men, who had contributed some valu- abie suggestions which were laid before the | House last session. Ia the interim upwards | of one hundred financial institutions had | been consulted and no further changes had been recommended. Some of the clauses elicited considerab’e discussion before pro- | gress was reported, but there did not seem | to be any serious difference of opinion

The subject of agricultural fertilizers is | to receive consideration this session. 1) understand that the government intend in- | troducing a bili which will provide that every manufacturer or importer of fertili- | zers, selling at more than $10 a ton and; containing phosphoric acid, nitrogen, am- | monia or nitric acid, shall forward to the | Inland Revenue Department a two-pownd | sample of the material for analysis.

|

The, standard strength will require at least 8 per | cent. of phosphoric acid or 4 per cent. of | ammonia, or, if both are combined, 5 per cent. of the two. Sellers as well as manu- facturers come under the operation of the bill, and every seller is required to register his name with the Minister of Inland Revenue under a penalty of $100.

The millers are again impressing upon the government the propriety of raising the duty on American flour. They say that 70 cents a barrel will satisfy them, and they claim that the Maritime Province members, ; from whom the opposition principally arose, have withdrawn their objections.

The prohibition members in caucus de- cided not to introduce any legislation this year.

The Grits held a caucus also on Wednes- day morning. ‘The attendance was good, the French members predominating. Mr. Laurier was again chosen leader, and the flag of Unrestricted Reciprocity was nailed to the mast. Mr. McCarthy’s bill on the dusl language question was severely let alone.

A return laid before the House by the Finance Minister shows that in the six months ended Dec. 51, 1888, the receipts were $18,859,064, and the expenditure $14,688,157; while for the corresponding period in 1889, the receipts were $20,004, - 523, and the expenditure $14,426,292—an | increase of receipts by $1,144,958, and aj} decrease of expenditure by $261,865.

Dr. Landerkin has given notice that he will introduce a resolution aflirming that as distillers are allowed a rebate upoa corn imported for the manufacture of spirits for export, it is but just that farmers and stock-raisers, who import corn to feed cattle or other stock for export should receive a. similar rebate.

Mr. Muloch’s address to the Queen, as- suring Her Majesty of Canada’s unswerving | loyalty and devotion to the Crown, was cordially received by both sides of the} House. The mover spoke eloquently and | declared that his action was not dictated | by party considerations, but for the pur- pose of contradicting the statements that have gone abroad, chiefly through the American press, that Canadians are divid- ed among themselves, race set against race,

| under the cousideration of the Department.

ln answer to Mr. Perry, Sir Hector Lan- gevin said that an examination of Summer- side harbor was made last season, and 4 report submitted. The work proposed for the improvement at the entrance to the harbor consists of a breakwater extending southwardly from Welling’s Point, a dis- tance ot 3,800 feet, and a second from the lighthouse, 1,000 feet in a southerly direc- tion towards Indian Head, the cost of these two structures being placed at $75,000.

Regarding repairs to the Miminigash Breakwater, Sir Hector Langevin was under- stood to say that it was under his consider- ation.

The estimates were laid on the table last Wednesday. The expenditure for the year ending 30th June, 1891, is set down at $36,035,445, a decrease of nearly $500,- 000, but the supplementary estimates will probably bring the total up to last year’s tigures.
