Frank Hicks, whois now dying at Claremont, Mass., has written a letter confessing the crime, and stating that he svld the h»raess to Sparks for $12.50.

Hovse Brexev.— On Tuesday last, the dwelling house of Mr. Murdock McLeod, of Dundas, caught fire and was burned to ashes. The owner, wife and family were absent at the time, and nothing was saved except the clothing they had on, The fire originated, it is thought, in some kindlings that were left under the stove to dry. There was no insur- ance on either the house or its contents, and as Mr. McLeod was comparatively a poor man before the fire, his present straitened circum- stances command the sympathy and aid of the benevolently disposed.

De RonervaL.—lIt is pleasing to note that the latest literary work of Mr. J. Hunter Duvar is highly commended by those who have had the pleasure of scanning it. Thus the 7’ranscript, of Moncton, says :—** It treats of the first French colonization of Canada by the Chevalier de la Roque, Seigneur of Rober- val, in Picardy, who received his commissiva as Lieutenant-General of Canada from King
Francis I. ‘Phe drama is not intended for the stage, but this does not detract from its dramatic interest and the powerfulness of its imagery. Those who have a feeling of national pride cannot but be deeply interested and pleased with a native literary work which lifts the veil from a little known | episode in early Canadian history. The drama uever flags in interest-anil the scenic descriptions are strong.” '

The Builders at Leggerhead.
Toronto, Ont., April 2. Building operations this coming season bid fair to be paralyzed. Builders, labor- ers and master builders are at daggers drawn, The former who have numerically the strongest organization here made a demand recently for 21 cents per hour instead of 15}. To-day the bosses offered 19 cents and threatened that unless the vffer was accepted by Wednesday they would reduce the offer to 15 cents. The bricklayers and stone masons unions met to-night and decided to co-operate with the laborers in theirdemand, There is every indication of a bitter and prolonged strike.
The Final Arrangement.
Orrawa, April 2.
The final arrangement between the Gov- ernment and the C. P. Railway Company in reference to the surrender by the latter of its monopoly privileges, has not yet been reached. The London 7'imes says that the price for the cancellation of the monopoly is three million pounds sterling, while the Financial News places the amount at four- teen million dollars, but the sf&tements are, to say the least, premature.
Endeavoring to Compromise.
CHICAGO, April 2.
An effort towards a compromise of the strike on the Chicago,'Burilngton & Quincy Railway was made this evening by the Brotherhood of Engineers and Firemen. An offer was made to submit the trouble to three railroad Presidents or General Managers or to arbitrate with a committee from the employes of the road.

Northwest Coal.
The Anthracite Coal Company, of Banff, o which Mayor Stewart, of Ottawa, is president have just purchased at public auction In Calgary one of the school sections near Banff at the big figure of $30,000 for the 640 acres. New machinery is being put in, and when it and when it is erected the company intend to make things lively. When the duty was
taken off anthracite by Congress, it was never |
anticipated that Canada would supply the States with that quantity of coal, and the Eastern coal companies do not view with Stewart's Company. It is supposed that through the intluence of these gentlemen the recent seizure was made at San Diego Cal., of ashipment of the Banff product on the
ground that the coal was not anthracite. |
The matter was referred to the Treasuny Departinent at Washington, and to-day the
mayor received official notice that the Banff |
coal had been adjudged to be anthracite and will consequently go in free of duty.

Whear, as ‘‘ Faggles,” was well up in his part, and kept the audience amused with his eccentricities. Mr. A. E. MeEachen gave a good rendition of ‘* Cap- tain Dolman”; but Mr. Newsom, as ‘*Don Andre de Caldrone,” looked much too youthful forthe character, and was also somewhat weak in the execution scene. The various soldiers, miners, etc., were all well dressed and well up in their parts. Galbraith’s Orchestra furnished choice music during the evening. Taken for all in all, last evening's entertainment may be safely set down as one of the best, if not the best, amateur performances ever given in this city. te + RS eR
Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court.
Andrew McQuillan, drunk and disorder- ly, $30 or 30 days.
Andrew McQuillan, using obscene and abusive language to Sergeant Cameron on the streets last October, $30 or 30 days.
_ Thomas Prowse, drunk and disorderly, $30 or 30 days.
Joseph McLeod, drunk and disorderly, $30 or 30 days.
We would strongly recommend to the Legislature when the consolidated city bill is before them this session, the advisability of increasing the Magistrate's -power for punishing drunken rowdies. He now gives them the extent of his limit, $30 or 30 days, but that punishment does not appear to have the deterrent effect it should, as we are constantly hearing of their rutlianly conduct towards men and women, many of whom complain that they cannot pass with- out being grossly insulted.
The Magistrate this morning also en- quired into the attempted assaults upon the policemen, to which reference was made in yesterday's issue. He directed the Marshal to obtain all the evidence he could as quickly as possible against the persons who were in the habit of interfer- ing with the officers in the discharge of their duties, and he would punish them with the utmost rigor of the law.
