oa the other hand, experience a feeling of relief that Gillis is net to be hanged. Ifthey could but feel perfectly assured that he would cever eseane acain to menace the lives of his follows, this feeling would be strong. The community shrinks from having the blood of even such as Gillis ou its haods; and would be well pleased to see the murderer of Callaghan paaisbed fully sud directiy by “Him to whom venge- fguce velovgeth.”’?

But in this case— depending, as it does, solely upon cir- curns‘aotial evidence —he has, no doubt, deeined it wise and right to follow the rule, set by Her Most Gracious Majesty, not to permit the death peualty to be inflicted.

Two persons at least will be glad at hieart that he has done so. The prisover will rejoice that he is permitted still to live: for life is sweet even to those most miserable.

City Council.

Tue regular meeting of the City Council was held last evening. The Mayor, Reeor- der and all the Oouncillors we e present

After the minutes had been read and a nnmber of amall bills passed,—

‘A letter was read from the President of the Benevolent Irish Society, asking that St. Patvick’s Day be proclaimed a public holiday. Oa motion, the request was. granted.

Tae resolution of Councillor McRae, con- cerning certaia irregularities in the leasing of Queen's Wharf, was then discussed.

The Rocorder explained that as he drew up the lease in queation, and from which the clauge relating to waarfage was omi'- ted, he, and not the Mayor, should be heid responsible, He said he assumed all res- ponsibility in the matter, and would see that the City did not lose any money by the omission of the clause referred to. If

| the rent of the wharf could not be collected

from the lessee, he would pay it out of his own pocket,

The explanation of the Recorder was considered satisfactory, and Councillor MeRve’s resolution was, on motion, with- drawn,

tov. J. M. Melaed, on behalf of a deputation from the Dominion Alliance, submitted a resolution adopted ata recent meeting of the Alliance, requesting tha the polices be instracted to search out and bring to justice all persons guilty of an infraction of the Scott Act. He supple iacuted the resolution with an eloquent speech in favor of the Act, and the necas- sity of its being strictly enforced by the oflicers of the law. He said there were upwards of one hundred places in the city where liquor was sold openly in defiance of the existing law. He thought this a de- plorable state of .affsirs, and one which should not ba allowed to continue any longer. He also read a memorial—on the game subject as the resolution—prepared by the late Rev. G. W. Hodgson, and which, owing to that gentleman’s death, was not before submitted to the Gouncil.

A discussion ensued on the subject, in the course of which it was shown that the Council had no control over the police- inen other than appointing them to their positions and paying them their salaries. ‘he police were in the charge of the Stipen- diary Magistrate,and by him they were con- tro} ie a

Tho Recorder said that each month he inatracts the police to look after Scott Act offeaders the same as other violators of the law, and he could not see the neoassity for reqtosting him to do what he had already done.

Oa motion of Councillor Crabbe, the prayer of the petition was granted.

Councillor Crabbo gave notica that at the mext meeting of Ceuncil he would introduce a bya-law for the taxing of Com- vaercial Travellera,

Councillor Morris gave notics that a’ the next meeting of tha Council ha would move for a reconsideration of Councillor Crabbe’s resolution concerning the Temporancs Al- hance.

Councillor Douse moved that the issuing of poll tax executions be postponed till the lst of May, owing to the iack of work and money.

Councillor Haeszard etplainel that the subject matter of Councillor Douse’s resolu- tion had beea considered by the Finance Committee some days age, and it was de- cided then that those who were at present unable to pay their tax should be allowed an extension of time.

On motioa, Councillor Douse’s motion was withdrawn.

Councillor Ceabbe moved thst tho Royal

leetric Light Co. be notified that they are required to sign the contract as awarled them for lighting the city forthwith, and that the Council repudiate all liability and responsibility by reason of said lighting. Carried.

Unearthing a Mystery.

A FATHER AND 8ON UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER.

Tus Bridgetown, N. 8., correspondent of the Halifax Herald says a murder trial is in progress there that is creating consi- derable excitement. Oa the 29ch Novem ber last, a boy named Wallace Carter, aged about 12 years, disappeared from Phinney Mountain under suspicious circumstances. This placo is situated a few miles north- west of Bridgetown, and has a somewhat unsavory reputation. The boy Carter was sent by his employer, Smith Lorimer, to a neighbor named Ebenezer Jones (colored), who lives a mile distant, for a spade, and left for home in the afternoon, since which time he has not been seen. Jones has a boy named William, 14 or 16 years of aga, between whom and the Carter boy bad blood existed. The Jones boy was at Bridgetown that afiernoon and it is surmised that he met the Carter boy on the road, a lonely sled road through the bush pasture, between Jones’ and Lorimer’s, and that a quarrel took piace with perhaps fatal results. “Some time after the disappearance of the boy, the local government offered a reward for the ap- prehension of the murderer. Charles R. flarvey, @ young man, formerly a resident of that locality, but lately in the employ of Wm. P. Catneron, of Maitland, Hants, in the capacity of cook, constituted himself en amatenr detective, and has been working up the case, with a fair prospect of running the criminal to earth. His theory is that the boy was fatally injured by a large stone, thrown by the Jones boy ; that after dark he, assisted by his father Kbenezer, took him to the cabin, where he remained for a day or two, till he died, or was finished by them and quietly disposed of, probably by sinking in the Bay ot Fundy, the shore of which is only a few rods distant. Tho trial commenced on the 4th, J, G. H. Parker, counsel for informant; Irwin, for defend- ant. “Three witnesses were examined, one of whom, Mes, Carter, an honest old Eng- lish woman, who has seen better days, iestified that she was in Jones’ honse two days sfter the disappearance of the boy; that she heard meaning and groans, with faint cries for water, proceeding from au adjoining room; that Jones’ dog seemed ex- cited and wanted to get in the room. John Allen testified that he saw indications of a struggle on the old sled road, and marks of a boy’s bare foot (the Carter boy was barefoot); found also a stone weighing two Ibs. on the same spot—Jno. Ed. Phimney, 70 years old, a graduate of the county poor house and valuable member of the interest- ing family of Phinneys, resident neatthat locality, who lives with Jones and jhis family, gave very centradictory evidetee, apparently in the interest of Jones,

The Commutation.

Sir,—The commuting of the death sen- tence passed upon Alexander Gillis to im- prisonment for life, must have been a sur- prise to the greater number of the readers of yesterday’s Examiner. And now the question is asked, why wasit done? If at all permissible, it is to be hoped that those who are responsible for the act of the Governor-General will enlighten the public upon the matter. It cannot be that Gillis ig considered innocent; if so, he should have been pardoned, and not imprisoned for life. The fact of the sentence being commuted, shows that. If there was any doubt about his guilt or innocence, a re- prieve, until the matter could have been cleared beyond a doubt, would have been preferable. If a cold-blooded, cruel, mer- cilesa crime, such as was proved to have been committed by Gillis, can be perpe- trated, and after conviction the sentence of the law be commuted to imprisonment for life, the sooner the death penalty is re- moved from the Statute Book the better.

There is something repulstve to every one in the thought of depriving a fellow- mortal of hia life ; but the higher sense of justice which seems implanted in all, for the protection of life and liberty, becomes intinitely more shocked at an evasion of the law than in its being carried out, even in i's most sanguinary form.

It is to be hoped that in tho interests of the publie some explanation may be given, where one is so decidedly needed.

Upton.

A Word of Pra‘se.

Sizx,—Our City Council on the temper- ance question last night, gave indications of the dawn of a brighter day for temperance, apd consequently the general morality - of this city. Six of the councillors strack the key note of success, For the past five years our good temperance law has been trifled with, As citizens, moral men and christians, we may congratulate ourselves on having in the Council such men as Messrs. Haszard, A. McLean, T. McLean, S. McRae, Crabbe and Horne. These gentlemen have taken the firat e\ep towards the invesiigation as to where the lassitude has been, with the Council, or the Stipendiary, These gentlemen lvoked like champions standing in opposition to the ather four councillors, who ought a'so to be found on the side of m rality and right. If this vote, taken last night, bo a genuine expression of sentiment in reference, which we doubt not, then the citizens would, at the first opportunity, have the whole Council composed of such men as the six. Looker On.

Nickerson & Co. 's ‘Failore.

Referring to the recent failure of Messrs. Nickerson & Oo., the Boston Herald says :

“Primarily, the failure may be said to be due to the loss of the steamer City of Columbus, the consequent suits at law, and the general depres- sion of business. The firm has dealt in hemp, sugar and other staple articles in commission, and also directly. The settlement will doubless require a long time, but the members of the firm hope that, with careful nursing, the assets wili yield a very good dividend to the creditors, The assignment eto Mr. J, B. Russell, who has been for fifteen years their confidential clerk, not only incindes all the firms property, but the property of individual members as well.

The firm commenced business in 1847, consisting at the time of Frederick and Jonas 5. Nickerson. Since then there have been various changes in the make-up of the concern; but till the death of Frederick Nickérson, in 1879, he was always re-

arded as the senior partner. At the time of Mr. Nickerson’s death the firmstyle was Frederick Nickerson & Co., and the successors continued the business under the same style, till January, 1881, when the present style was assumed. Frederick W. aud A. A, Nickerson are the sons of Frederick Nickerson above mentioned, Mr. Crosby has been with the firm, either as clerk or partner, since it commenced business in 1847. Frederick Nickerson, at his death, left a- fortune of about $990,000, which his widow. two daughters and the two sons in- herited. Mr. Crosby is asingle man, and must have accumulated some property of his own, but still the Messrs. Nickerson have been looked upon as the capitalists of the firm. The firm has some bonds and considetable vessel property, and it will require good management to prevent the assets from shrinking largely from their nomi- nal value upon conversion into money. It is said that, at the time of the disaster to the City of Columbus, the steamer was only partly paid for, and that mest, if not all, of the insurance money ‘which was only a few thousand dollars) was used to pay what was still owed on her.”
