( It will be remembered that at the urgent request of the Minister ef Marine and Fisheries, the Depuiy Port Warden of

io give evidence before a commission on the subject of the Canadian method of leading, generally known as the Montreal plan. Mr. Shaw returned by the lgst steamer, and the Montreal (acefte learns that his evidence was regarded as most valuable, a fact which is perhaps best attested by refer- ence to the bill.

The Bill provides that: Where a grain cargo is laden on any British ship bound fer che United Kingdom, all necessary and reasonable precautions (whether prescribed by this Act er not) shall -be taken in order to prevent the grain cargo from shifting.

If such precautions have not been taken in the case of any such ship, the master of the ship, and any agent ef the owner whe was charged with the loading of the ship or the sending her to sea, shall each be liable te a penalty not exceeding three hundred pounds, and the owner of the ship shall also be liable to the same penalty, unless he shews that he took all reasonable means te enferce the observance of this section, and was not privy to the breach thereof.

4. When a British ship laden with a grain cargo at any port in the Mediterranean or slack Sea, or on the east coast of North America, is bound to the United Kingdom, the following precautions to prevent the grain cargo from shifting shall be adopted, that is. to say:

(«). There shali not be carried between the decks, or, if the ship has mere than two decks, between fhe main and upper decks, any grain in bulk, except such as may be necessary for feeding the carge in the hold, and is carried in properly con- siructed feeders,

(6) Where grain (except such as may be carried in preperly constructed feeders) is carried in buik in any hold or compartment and proper provision for filling up the same by feeders is not made, net less than ene- feurth of the grain carried in the hold or compartment (as the case may be) shall be in bags supported on suitable platforms laid upon the grain in bulk ; provided that this regulation with respect to bags shall ant apply—

(i) To oats, or cotton seed ; nor,

(ii) Toa ship which isa sailing ship of less than four hundred tons registered ton- nage, and is not engaged in the Atlantic

; hor

(iii) To a ship laden at a pert in the Med- iterranean or Black Sea if the Ship is di- vided inte compartments which are formed by permanent transverse partitions, and are fitted with longitudinal bulkheads or such shifting boards as hereafter in this section mentioned, and if the ship dees not carry more than one fourth of the grain cargo in any er such compartment ; nor

(iv) To a ship in which the grain cargo does not exceed one half of the whole cargo of the ship, and the rest of the cargo cen- sists of cotton, wool, flax, barrels of flour, or other suitable carge so stowed as to prevent the grain from shifting.

(ec) Where grain is carried in the hold or between the decks, whether in bags or bulk the hold or the space between the decks shall be divided by a longitudinal bulkhead or by suflicient shifting boards which ex- tend from deck to deck, or frem the deck to the keelson, and are properly secured, and if the vrain is in bulk are fitted grain-tight with preper fillings between the beams.

(7) In loading, the grain shall be preperly stowed, trimmed and secured.

In the event of the contravention of this section in the case of any ship, reasonable precautions to prevent the grain cargo of that ship from shifting shall be deemed net to have been taken, and the ewner and master of the ship and any agent charged with leading her er sending her to sea shall be liable accordingly to a penalty un- der this Aci,

Provided that nothing in this section shall exempt a person from any liability, civil or criminal, te which he would other- wise be subject for failing to adopt any reasonable precautions which, although not mentioned in this sectien, are reason- ably required to prevent grain cargo from shifting.

5. The precautions required by this Act to be adopted by ships laden with a grain cargo ata port in the Mediterranean or Black Sea, or on the east coast of North America, shall not apply to ships loaded in accordance with veqitations for the time being approved hy the Beard of Trade; nor to any ship constructed and leaded in ac- cordance with any plan approved by the Beard of Trade.

6. Before a British ship laden with grain cargo at any port in the Mediterranean or Black Sea, or on the east coast of North America, and bovnd to the United King- dom, leaves her final port of loading, the master shall deliver to the British consular officer, or, if it is in Her Majesty’s domin- ions, to the principal ofticer‘of Customs at that port, a notice stating—

(1.) The draught of water and clear side, as detined by section five of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1875, of the said ship after

‘| the loading of her cargo has been complet-

ed at the said last pert of loading ;

' (2.) And also stating the follewing par-

|tieulars in respect to the grain cargo,

namely : (a) The kind of grain and the quantity

thereof, which quantity may be stated in

The master shall also deliver a similar notice to the prineipal collector or other proper ofticer of Customs in the United Kingdom, together with the report required to be made by the Customs Con- solidation Act of 1876, on the arrival of the ship in the United Kingdom.

{ Every such notice shali be sent to the | Board of Trade sa soon as practicable by the stiicer receiving the same.

If the master fails to deliver any notice required by this section he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding one hundred pownds,

7. Any waster of a ship, who in any notice required by this Act wilfully makes avy false statement or wilfully omits any material particular, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ene hundred pounds.

8. Fer the purpose of securing the ob- seryance of this Act, any officer having authority in that behalf from the Beard of Trade, either general or special, shall have the samme power as an inspector appointed under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, and shall also have power to inspect any grain cargo, and the mode in which the same is stowed.

‘. Every offence punishable under this Act may be prosecuted summarily, and every penalty nnder this Act may be re- covered summarily in like manner as offences and penalties under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, and the Acts amend- ing the same.

JACOB ZECHLER’S CRUEL TREATMENT @F BI8 LUNATIC BROTHPR.

A shocking case of barbarity has just been discovered in Reading. Pa., through the investigations of the Board of Poor Directors. A few days ago it was reported to them that a man was receiving cruel and inhuman treatment in the backwoods coun- try, a oe SS aeatine the _

ohn wer, and J. W, Knoor, of the aloustioces: went to the farm of Jacob Zechler, at the foot of the Blne Mountains, and there they found a small hut built of heavy logs. The narrow door was barred on the outside by a heavy piece of vak. The roof was covered with thatch. Under the hut was a rough fireplace, built of boulders. The floor of the hut was of heavy slabs, with wide cracks to admit the heat from the fireplace below As the officials approached they heard wild shrieks in the hut Taking down the bar and epening the door, they saw couched on a pile of filthy straw, the form of what first seemed to be ati animal. When they became accustomed to the dark- ness inside, they saw that it was the form ofaman. He was entirely nude, his gray and shaggy beard extended to his hips, and his hair was long and matted. His skin was black as that ofa negro. In the centre of the floor was a heavy iron staple, at- tached to which was achain. The other end was clasped tightly about the man’s ankle. The prisoner showed fight, and there was a violent struggle before he could be handcuffed and bound. The chain was heavy and rusty, andit required a blow from asiedge to break it. The man was then carried into the open air. For the first time in twenty-seven years the light of heaven shone upon him. For ever a quar- ter of a century he had occupied that pen.

The prisoner's name is Benjamin Zeckler Thirty years ago he was a robust, hearty man, aged 28 years. He worked on his fathers farm in Albany township. One day while greatly overheated, he jumped into a cool mountain stream te bathe. The sudden plunge into cold water had a bad effect. In time he became demented. Then his father died, leaving bis property to his two sons, Jacob and Benjamin. Jacob did not wish to have his brother taken to an insane asy- lum, so he determined to keep him on the farm. Ina few months Benj. became very violent. Jacob then determined to build the hut at the foot of the meuntains, inte which Benjamin was placed and chained. For twenty-seven years he was kept there, until the case was reported and enquired into. The hut is in a montainous backwoods country, which is rarely visited by stran- Ders.

It is believed that he can be cured snf- ficiently to give the stery ef his terrible sufferings. His brother claims that he fed him well. This is apparently true, because the lunatic was powerful and it required the strength of four men to overcome him in his filthy cell. This evening the man is reported to be resting well, and he has be- come quiet and orderly. Jacob Zechler has always been recognized as a peaceful, law-abiding citizen, but the barbarous treatment of his brother has changed pub- lic opinion against him. As yet no arrest has been made.

Rey. Wm. Ballentyne Hodgson, profes- sor of economic science in the University of Edinburgh, and an eminent educational writer, is dead.
