Obituary

Mr. John Dorsey, of this city, passed away ia his prime—universally regretted —at noon yesterday. Mr. Dorsey was widely known as the head of the firm of Dorsey, Goff & Co., aud the founder of the Charlottetown Boot and Shoe Fa tory; and he him best as an active,

those who knew enterprising, kindly, and honest mau. For ma years he was foreman is the

establishment of Mr. James Evans, con

ducting the business of that gentleman | until he left the Island. He then com- menced business for himself, and failing, left the Island, to return in the course of a few years, and pay every dollar that he owed—both principal aud interest! In the meantime he re-commenced business in this city, and afterwards entered into partnership with Mr.R. K. Jost. After some years this partnership was dis

solved; and Mr. Dorsey set about the establishment of the Charlottetown boot and Shee Factory. Aided by his ener- partner, Mr. Gofl, he was emi- neutly successful in this great effort ; and the factory is now one of the largest

retic

{ not the largest) and most flourishing in the Province. Mr. Dorsey has been unwell during the past two years, A few mopvths ago he went to London and became a patient, in Guys Hospital, of the celebrated Dr. Smith; but, ob- taining no relief, he came home to die.

I'he community has sustained a great loss; and Mrs. Dorsey and her children, with other near relatives,

will have many sympathising frieuds to mourn with them ;—yet not as those with- out hope. The memory ol! the just is blessed; and in Mr. Dorsey the virtue of justness was combined with that of brotherly love

Editorial Notes.

— The latest fraud reported is that of an attempt to induce English capitalists to invest in bonds of the Newcastle & Middlesex Railroad—which has no ex- istence.

—The Wiunipeg Sun criticises Sir Hector Langevin in the following words :—‘‘Sir Hector, the most pains- taking and industrious of ministers, will be welcomed to the Northwest by all classes of the population. He is not coming here on « political crusade but on a tour of inspection, and his visit can- not fail to benefit both him and us.”

—The Grits have evidently decided not to have a recount of the votes cast at the late election. The time for making an application expired on Saturday but no application was made. The Grits evidently know, as the public know, that a recount would only have the effect of

increasing the Liberal-Conservative majority. London advices state that ‘Mr.

Gladstone started for Edinburgh on the 27th ult. He was greeted by large crowds along the line. At Warrington Mr. Gladstone addressed the people who who had assembled to greet him. He said the Government would do their duty, but in consideration of the national crisis the issue depeaded upon the action of the country. At Edinburgh prepara- tious have been made for a grand wel- come to the Prime Minister. The windows and balconies of busivess places and residences throughout the city are decorated, and visitors in large numbers are arriving. Mr. Gladstone has ac- cepted an invitation to attend a meeting of workingmen in the Waverly Market on Tuesday next. Ten thousand tickets are already sold,”

—The St. John Sun remarks:—West Outario was a safe coustituency for the Opposition. Mr. Wheler was its repre- sentative in the Dominion Parliament, elected in 1882. Mr. Edgar, a gentle man from Toronto, who had been some half dozen times defeated in his attempts to enter the political arena, wanted to bean M. P. Mr, Blake {wanted him to be an M. P. Mr. Mowatt was appealed to. Mr. Wheler shortly after resigned. Mr. Edgar was elected by acclamation and this is how it now stands :—Mr, Edgar has the seat in Parliament at the rate of $1,000 per year and travelling expevsee. Mr. Wheler has been made burser of the central prison, Toronto, with a salary of $1,200, and incidentals equivalent to about $1,000 extra per year. Yet there is no such thing as bargain and sale in the party which Mr, Blake leads.

(Beston Globe, 28th.)

ONE

In one of the cells at Station 4, yester- day, sat a young and well-developed lady who was charged with bigamy. Her maiden name was Catherine Dunn, and she was born at Chagjottetown, P. E. 1. When she was quits young her parents moved to Halifax. She was about fourfeen years old when she became acquainted with George C. McDonald, of Summerside, P. E. lL. Their courtship was short, and they were married. For some reason or another they did not live happily togethr and after five months of married life he left her. Soon after his departure she be- van keeping company with a young man named Maynard, a corporal in the English army. After three months he was trans- ferred to England. In looking around for another suitor she became acquinted with & young man named Wm. Bannister. About two years ago she and her mother moved to Framingham, Mass. The two lovers, however, kept up a correspondence, and she finally induced Bannister to leave Halifax and come to Boston that he might be near her. He took her advice, and five weeks after her departure he was working stable on Ellot street, in

im a this city. They finally agreed to marry. A dayor two after they were en-

gaged, Bonnister heard that his intended had kept company with other parties besides Maynard and bimself, and, in order to satisfy his mind, he wrote to her and asked if there was any truth in the story. In reply she said the story was false. This was satisfactory to him, and about a week

Saturday were married by Rev. Mr. Gunning. The groom not having enough money at present to buy furni- ture, they lived in furnished rooms at 30 Lagrange Street. The bride’s

mother, in looking over one of the daily papers a few days ago, saw their names under the head of marriage intentions. She came to Boston and went to Station 4. She told the officer in charge the facts of the case. Yesterday cflicer Burnett went to where the young couple were living and arrested them, he for adultry and she for bigamy. Her mother claims that she told Bannister that he better not marry her, as she was a married woman. That statement Bannister says is false, as he has never spoken five words to her in his life. . —-e

Abdominal Surgery.

Dr. Tait, in a sketch of the history of abdominal surgery (recently given at Mon- treal) stated that the first operation was performed in 1701, in a village near Edin- burgh, Scotland, by Houston, but that it was not until 1809 that his example was followed, and even then it was in Canada that the operation first gained ground. The speaker said that he had always de-

clared and always would continue to do so, that it was Thomas Keith,

of Edinburgh, to whom the pro- fession owed their present position as regarded abdominal surgery. He went on to speak of the Listerian methods in ab- dominal surgery, declaring that he strongly disapproved of them and that after diseon- tinuing the details one by one, he had since January, 1881, given up Listerian altogether. Since that time his example had been followed by all the prominent surgeons, save Dr. Thornton. Ina record of 12 operations performed by the latter by Listerian methods, there had been five deaths, as against 25 operations by Dr. Bonta, \vithout Listerianism, where there had only been two deaths. The speaker then alluded to his own suc cess in performing abdominal surgery, and stated that many physicians had thought that he used some secret antiseptic agent. He did not know exactly to what to attri- bute his success—it was not to fresh air, for many of the operations had been per- formed in atmosphere that was anything | but pure. He could say this much, how- ever, for himself, that he had given up his life to the work and had engaged in no other, that he always paid the most care-

ful attention to details and ruled his nurses and attendants with a rod of iron; that he never operated in a

private house if he could help it, in order to keep his patients from foolish | friends, then he always insisted upon his | patients going to bed at once tefore seeing | him at all; this was atest of their obedi- ence and faith in him, without which they never could get on together. He never engaged a nurse who had ever served any- where else, and insisted upon their paying the greatest attention to cleanliness. In this way he had collected a large staff «f good servants. He had no other reasons than these for his success, and they would doubtless recommend themselves tu the meeting. The speaker then endeavored to point out the cause of the great mortality that had marked this operation, whether it was the clamp or the dressing of the wound by chloride of iron that caused it. He |

of deaths in his cases was only three per | cent. The speaker then went on to con. | trast the old method of not operating unless ito save life, with the idea of operating to relieve suffering, and stronly advocated the

latter system.

A Curious Case,

Considerable excitement has been caused in Toronto thréugh the elopement of Jona- than Madell, a builder contractor, and Mrs. Josie Martin, wife of Jacob L. Mar- tin, cabinet maker. Madell leaves a wife and two young children, and Mrs. Martin a husband and two grown-up daughters. The runaway pair were both members of the choir of the College-street Baptist Church, Mrs. Martin being the organist, On Friday Mrs. Martin told her husband she was going to Hamilton to visit some

friends. Mrs. Madell had been sent to the country with her children about a fort- night ago, and Madell left on Fri-

day, telling his partner that he was going to see his wife. A letter from Mrs. Madell, addressed to her husband, first aroused suspicion, and then it was ascer- tained beyond a doubt, that the pair had left together for New York. Madell, who is a good musician, took his harp with him. Mrs. Madell returned from the country with her children, and is almost heart- broken. Mrs. Martin was also a pianist and choir conductor to the West End Christian Association, and Madell was a member of the association choir.
