conversation that a ker heard would be apt to take place, but

wear it, This unfortunately for Parker, she said, the sleeves were cut, which fails to agree with either one. He would like them to notice that she said she washed the blood up with warm water before the fife was

made. He did not ask her how she warmed the water fearing, she was so quick, she

would reveal some new mode, never yet in- troduced. She knew there had been blood spilt there in rows, and that to get blood c'eaned she had to scrape, so she, in her former oath, scrapes with a knife, but when she learns it would serape the paint which remains untouched, she says she meant that she scraped it with the brush handle, and goes back on the knife scraping. He thought it unfair for the newspapers to publish her story as true when it was so c milicting,

He then produced her deposition where she had sworn she used the knife, and said this was taken down carefully and then read to her, and she certainly knew it. Now, she uses no knife.

He then spoke of the powders, which did the drugging, being proved as not in ex- istence, and he thinks he can prove Osborne had none, and that Gordon, where Annie says she saw them, never had thew.

‘He had just received a letter from Squire Deacon saying that Mr. Allen (midnight visitor) was actually mistaken about it bhe- ing the 12th of October that he was at Fraser's. He would not say such steries were lies. The partics were mistaken. This Allen did not at all answer the description of Parker's midnight visitor. He then re- ferred tv the hair asa proof that he (Me- Carthy) fell from the bridge, and at some length to the logs covering the surface just after the 12th, and the state of preservation in which the body was found after seven months, and the money upon the body showed that was not the cause of his death.

He will show that Mrs. Osborne was a long while in the employ of Judge Bots. ford and entrusted with any amount of money, which was considered safe. in her hands. He would now proceed to call wit nesses for the defence.

The first one called was Charles Welling, Shediac. He knew Aunie Parkev,and went! up the road with hee one Sunday. About a quarter of a mile up the road, toward Farmer Atkinson’s, they went up the hill together and in the bushes and came out and went back again. He went with her as far as the Johnson House, about eight or half-past eight o'clock, p.m. ‘This was in October last, said the witness, and I

caught a disease from her.

The witness then related to Dr. Tuck where he had seen her before.

yeo. P. Andrews, Shediac, was in the Waverley House but once and he thinks

that was the 12th of October. He saw the tree men there, and he played euchre with them and Mr. Campbell. It was Friday afternoon and it was raining. The dedica- tion of the bell at Cape Bald was the next

> ? i. : ee Hell. of Park Hotel, Dorchester, said the January Court opened on Tuesday, and John Osborne was at his house in Dor- chester the second day of court and stayed two days and nights, and therefore mist have gone home on Friday.

To Dr. Tuck—-He didn’t know it was on Fridav. He knew it was the second day ot court, because he was hauling al hroke the traces, and John Osborne held his horses for him. © Another reason was, Chip. Smith wanted his money the day that he owed him for oysters. *

A. E. Oulton, Secretary of the Munici- pality of Westmorland, showed by memo- randum that Osborne applied to the Council for a liceuse on the 18th of January, and,in his opinion, Osborne was there, as he re-

pressed that it was that day.

Mr. Palmer then applied for a bench warrant for one Miss Flowers, of Bathurst, who had been duly served with a subpeena, and had disobeyed the subpoena. The court will consider the application. The witness is said to be an important one.

The Hiections.

Ir seems to be a settled thing that the Elections are to take place on or about the 19th September.

—— 60° :

McKenzie and Cartwright to the Rescue.

It is now announced that Messrs. Me- Kenzie and Cartwright will land in George- town on Monday next. How they are coming and what they are going to do here is not announced. They are, however, booked

Wednesday, 17th, and he asked one of the} speak at Pictou on Saturday ; and they

men if they would attend.

To Dr. T'uck—He saw the tree men at the Post Office, and took notice of them be- cause they were Americans as he was.

To, Mr. Palmer—He saw Dr. Hewson register his name in the Weldon House same day, and it was October 12th. He also saw lawyer Wella there.

. W. Wells, lawyer, Dorchester, then ae called, testified to being there that night.

h Dysart, Cocague, was called and said that White stopped at his house and fed his horse 10th October. He produced a leaf on his day book which contained a charge against White for seed, and while White was there young Lucas came for wit- ness’ horse to go for the Doctor. Lucas lived sixty rods from him. Mrs. Lucas was buried 13th Oct., Saturday.

To Dr. Tuck—Said White was there about twop.m. Mrs. Lucas’ wake was on the 12th.

Mr. Palmer here wished to prove Mc- Carthy’s bank account, which the court allowed him to supply.

James Kennedy, bar-keeper for Me- Carthy said he took in on an average from $120 to 8150 per week; averaged some $20 per day. He did not know how much money McCarthy had on him; he lad seen McCarthy walk to Dean O’Regan’s, some half of a mile out.

To Dr. Tuck—He said McCarthy gener- ally took a horse to go a distance, He also gave an account of Mrs. McCarthy and Annie Parker lifting him at McCarthy’s. They did not carry him far. McCarthy always kept his money about him.

Dr. Tuck asked witness a few questions as to dates, which he cannot exactly re- member.

Archibald Wilson, drugyist, Shediac, sworn and examined by Dr. Tuck as evi- dence for the crown. He remembers the 12th of October by the Weldon House register. He was in his shop that night till half-past nine, and went to the Waverly with Dr. Campbell about ten. He was in the kitchen, and never saw McCarthy in his life. Saw Hamilton, Dr. Hewson and Wells at the Weldon House.

To Mr. Palmer—He never saw such a box in Osborne’s bar as described by Annie Parker containing powders. He knew of no powders of that description which were dangerous. He can swear the three men were there the 10th, lith, 12th or 13th, one of the four days. He never gave Annie medicine, only a throat wash and a plaster.

George Osborne, son of John Osborne (prisoner), sworn : He saw his father have a brown overcoat on in Moncton and out to the farm. He saw the same coat at the Waverly in his mother’s room, and Stephen McCarthy putting it on in the Waverly hall, in November. He went to the Waver- ley with a load of hay. Had a set of tow chains and stayed two days. He never saw the bar-room door nailed up, but open to let in air. He was present with Burns when Caldwell pawned the hatchet, and there was snow on the ground. He had a conversation with Stephen McCarthy about the coat, who said he was going to leave it at the Waverley for safety, so it would not get stolen.

To Dr, Tuek—The reason McCarthy told,

will, of course, speak in this Island. They

are to the rescue of McIntyre, Sinclair,

Yeo, Perry and the recruits recently pressed into the service—now too- hardly pressed by the overpowerful Opposition.

The candidates of the ‘‘ Organized Hy- pocrisy ” indulge in a forlorn hope if they imagine that anything Messrs. McKenzie

and Cartwright may do or say will turn the tide of public opinion in their favor.

A Bridge for West River.

THE scow plying between McEachern’s and McEwen’s wharfs has been laid up for repairs. No notice whatever has been given the travelling public that the ferry there could not be crossed. The man in charge of the scow indulges in profane language when disappointed passengers complain that they have, for want of such notice, been led many niles out of their way to and from destinations east and west of the river, and tells them—in plain English—he doesn’t ‘“‘care a d—n for the Local Government.” This man doubtless inerely represents in strong language the strony feeling with which the Local Government is regarded by the people residing on both sides of West tiver. The people of West River want a bridge. They have a right to a bridge. A bridge might easily be built—if only the Government had the backbone to fix upon the best site and to carry the work Of course there are conflicting local interests ; and behind these the Gov- ernment, like cowards, take refuge. They are afraid to meet a pressing public re- quirement because they think they may, by so doing, give offence to some of their Sriends. Out upon such weak-kneed incapables. Let us drive them out of power and put men in their places who are not afraid to grapple with the responsibilities of goy- ernment.

The Milton Mesting.

A -rovaBLE PRATCRE of the Milton meet- ing w= the absence of both the Grit candi- dates. Both received special invitations to appear before the electors of Milton. But neither responded in any way to the invita tion. Such conduct as this is simply in- sulting to the electors. It may be said that Messrs, Sinclair and McGill could not go to Milton on Tuesday evening. If they could not, they could at least have had the com- mon courtesy to send a letter of explana- tion. It may be said that Sinclair and McGill know well that the electors of Mil- ton—than whom there are none more in- telligent in P. E. Island —are, to a man, strongly opposed to them and

members him being in the court, and is im-|

to the Government they support ; and they were afraid to~ attend tlie” tiéet- ing. This, we have reason to think, was the true cause of the absence of both the Grit bachelors now wooing the rich and beautiful County of Queen’s. With Mr. Peter Sinclair it is a fixe! principle that prudence is the better part of valor. We therefore, very much surprised we cannot help

are DOC, that he stayed away, though remarking that it is siranse that he did not give some explanation of his conduct. But we are really surprised that the hot-blooded and gallant Colonel shoult heave leit. the field at Milton clear to his rivals. ~ It is so unlike the. brave, i:apetaens, courting Colonel.

Messrs. Pope and Brecken-- having it all to themselves--improved the opportunity by making the best speeches we have heard them deliver since the campaign opened. The speech of Mr. John Tanton, who, by request of the electors, came forward in support of the candidature of Pope and Brecken, was also a very able one. In fact, the three speeches contained so many good points and comprised altogether so effective an argument in favor of Liberal- Conservative principles, that all present unanimously pledged themselves to support the Liberal-Conservative candidates— Pope and Brecken.

The Secretary's report of the meeting will appear in the course of a day or two.

“ Strong Delusion.”

—_———

Ir is quite evident to every intelligent man in this Province-- be his political bias what it may—that the Putriot publishes what the editor, himself, must feel fully convineed is a huge mistake, namely : that five out of the six P. E. Island will be returned to support the Grit faction at the approaching Dominion Election. The Toronto Glohe—McKenzie’s organ—anusi be under a fearful delusion as to the tone of public opinion in the Maritime Province when he lays the flattering unction to his soul that this Province is to give the Grit Government five supporters out of our six Representatives in the House of Commons. The Grit delusion extends further than P. E. Island. The Globe expects the Gov- ernment to ‘ increase its majority” in New Brunswick, and in Nova Scotia it expects to hold its own. The St. John Telegraph— a Grit. organ—does not count on any majority in‘ that Province; and it should be a better judge than ‘the Toronto Globe. Who, for one monrent; but a deluded man, can doubt the certainity of Pictou County reversing its judgment at the approaching election ? And who but the veriest de- ceiver and deceived can doubt that, at all events, fous out of the six P. E. Islander’s will be found in the ranks of the Liberal- Conservative party.

The Patriot's editor is skilled at the tricks of the boy who, when passing the graveyard, whistled to keep his courage up. The Grits are seized with fear and trembling—know- ing that their day of destruction is near at hand ; and in order to ward off its effects as much as possible, they are whistling loudly to keep up their courage. They are in fact despite the clearest and most convincing testimony which public opinion can give holding out hopes which they know are vain.

Agents for the Lessee of the above Mines, are prepared to issue orders for & Slack Coal.

This Coal is becoming very favorably known, has proved of superior quality, both for do- mestic and steam purposes, and given, in all cases, the highest satisfaction.

Professor Dawson, in his report on the Vie toria Coal Mines, says :—‘* The Uoke is versi- cular and of excellent quality, aud leaves very little ashes, so that, on the whole, it may be regarded as one of the finest coals of Cape Breton for any uses to which Bituminous Coal is applied.” Persons using it for yrates and other domestic purposes agree, also, in saying that it burns quite as well, and can scarcely be distinguished from, the OLo Miners Sydney Coal.
