The' Nova Scotia Provincial Election '

took place yesterday and resulted in the sustaining of the Murray Govern- ment by 31 to 12. Some of the details were incomplete and. according to the figures telegraphed the Guardian last night the result shows Qiberals 32. Consel"vatives'11. Evidently some of the figures were incorrectly telegraph. ed. lt_ may be taken however that the Murray Government has been re- turned by a majority of 19. In last legislature its majority was 10 but the number of representatives has been increased by five making the total house -43 instead of 38, in last Dahlia- ment. The Conservative leader, Mr. Tanner was defeated in Picton Coun- ty and the only Conservative returned in Halifax County is Mr. Mclnnis. but the complete details for this consti- tuency were not received. There were no vital questions 'before the electo- rate the opposition's platform being n general condemnation of the unpro- grcsslve policy of the Murray Govern- ment. Prohibition did not play any prominent part outside of Halifax where the liquor interests lined np in support of the government candidates.

The Y. M. C. A., campaign yester-

day for the $1,000 contribution from Charlottetown having been interrupt- ed somewhat ‘by the fact that it was market day and many of the solicitors unable to leave their business it was decided to continue today. The res- ponse met with yesterday by those who made their calls was very encou- raging. some of the teams reporting that they had not met with a single refusal. The final reports will be made this evening at 7.30 and at that time the opportunity closes for lend- ing assistance to one of the worthiest causes in connection with the Em- pire’s great iight. It is hoped that all those who have not been waited upon will hand in their amounts at the ear- liest possible hour to-day, which they can do by calling up the Secretary of

the Y. M. C. A. or any of the sollci~ tors.

A gentleman who recently returnel

to Charlottetown from a visit to't.lie military camps in England and wh.. saw what the Y. M. C. A. is doing for the boys there, stated that the friends of the boys have much to be thank- ful for in the fact. that the Assoclatio -1 is looking after their welfare at the camps with the same sollcitude as their own parents would core for them. The temptations snrroundin; the boys are simply innumerable s'n.'i the Y. M. C. A. is the only agency to- day that stands as a wall between the boys and moral and physical ruin. Any help, great or little. that can be given to this cause should be given and at once.

The McPherson murder case was

commenced yesterday before Mr. Jus- tice l-iaszard and a jury and a number of witnesses were examined.

Mr. Wyatt, K. C., who is associated

with the AttorneyVGeneral opened the case for the crown.

The first witness was Mrs. Gibbs.

Union Vale. She told of a visit to the McPherson home on the morning of Mrs. McPherson’s death and finding her in her usual health. While she was there Joseph Gallant came in and before she left McPherson and Gallant had a number of drinks together. That evening she heard of Mrs. Mc- Pl\ereon’s falling down stairs. The next day she was called as a witness at the inquest which was held in Mc- Pherson’s house. While there she noticed blood on the porch door and also on the floor leading from the porch to the bedroom. The latter looked as if someone had tried to rub it off. She went into the bedroom and saw the body of Mrs. McPherson on the bed. The face was cut and bruised and there was considerable blood on the floor. The next day she

She heard McPherson say that his wife had fal- len down stairs and that he had drag- ged her to the room and put her to hed. After the inquest she assisted Mrs. McPherson's daughter in gather- , ing up the clothes which they put, in a bag taking them down near the

Under cross-examination she

she found McPherson a pretty neighbor and any time she was always found him and his wife agreeable. She said the stairs

George McPhee told of being at the

prisnner’s house on the day of the death. Saw Gallant. Mr. and Mrs. McPherson in the house together. La- ter on in the day he assisted McPher- son from a waggon to his house and put him on a lounge, McPherson was helplessly drunk. This would be about noon. Later on in the evening the children told him of Mrs. McPher- son falling down stairs and, going over to lVlcPherson's he asked the.prl- soner about it. The latter stated that she had fallen down stairs about snndown and that he had put her to bed. Hs asked to see her. Prisoner told him she was in a stupor, however, he took him into the room. Witness took hold of her pulse. found the arm quite cold. pulled down the bed-I clothes and listened for her heart and found there were no clothes on the, body from the waist up. There was considerable blood on the face and a cut on the head about the length of a' linger and as wide as the finger. There was also onsidsrable blood near one
