Mr. James Gourlie, manager of the Savings Bank here, informs us that already he has opened accounts with some fifty de- positors, the aggregate amount of deposits reaching close to ten thousand dollars. The Savings Bank is a good institution, as many will lay away spare cash for the ob- ject of depositing, which otherwise would be foolishly wasted.

The number of reapers and mowers sold on this Province the present season is, we think, larger than any other year. No doubt this is principally owing to the ap- pearance of good cropa throughout the country.

UNPRECEDENTED, —It is probably safe to affirm that on no previous year was harvest soearly in P. E. Island as the present season. Last week two gentlemen from the surrounding country informed us that they had all their grain cut and housed on the 25th—last Saturday week. By conversing with people from various sections of the country, we infer that harvest was more than half done by the end of August, a very remerkable circumstance in this Province.

RIGHTY NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERMEN PERISH

IN A GALE — TWO LIUNDRED DORIES WRECKED—SINKING AT THEIR TRAWLS IN SIGHT OF SUCCOR—-GREAT DAMAGE TO SHIPPING.

(By telegraph to the New York Herald.)

Sr. Joun’s, N. F., Aug. 31, 1883.

A gale, unusually violent for the time of |year, has swept over the Banks of New- ifoundland. The fishing vessels suffered severely. The loss of life is said to reach eighty, and the damage tothe vessels is very great. It is thought that the fishing season has been brought toaclose. The fishing schooner ‘‘Wachusett,” which ar- rived here this morning, brings a terrible story of wreck and loss of life. The schooner belongs to Gloucester, and her captain, a man of great experience on the Banks, says that never before did he meet with such a violent gale of wind, or one more disastrous in its consequences. The ‘Wachusett’ on Sunday morning was riding to her moorings on the Great Banks in a heavy sea. The sky looked threaten- ing and all along to windward were dense masses of dark clouds. Aj] the fleet had dories out, and as the fish were being rapidly caught the crews were so eager after the main chance that they seemed to pay little attention to the tempest that was about to burst upon them with terrific violence.

THE STORM BURSTS.

Presently a white bank was seen to the northward,‘and a squall of wind and rain struck the whole fishing fleet. ‘The men in the dories hauled in their lines and bent to their oars with a vigorous effort to reach their vessels. Some of them were success- ful, but the force of the gale increased so rapidly and the sea rose so fast that the struggles of many were ineffectual. On board the fishing fleet the scene was one of wild excitement. The schooners were pitch- ing bows under, and every instant the monstrous waves threatened to part their moorings. Those whose crews were lucky enough to reach them at once cut adrift from their anchorage and under small sail ran before the storm. The ‘*Wachusett” was one of the fortunate craft. All her men succeeded in getting safely on board. It seemed to be providential. Just as the last dory was hoisted safely on deck and the fishermen were congratulating themselves on their narrow escape from death a big sea struck the schooner and her moorings parted. If the hawser had held the vessel would probably have been swamped, so high was the wave and so forcible its impetus. The foresail was hoisted. and the **Wachusett” was soon running before the gale, with the wind increasing in force and pressing us astern with a vigor that threat- ened ill for the poor fellows tempest tossed in their dories and unable to row to their ships. The fury of the tempest increased, the waves ran unusually high and the crew of the‘‘ Wachusett,” astaunch craft enough for any emergency, had as much as they could do to keep her afloat.

PERISHING IN SIGHT OF HELP.

As they ecudded along before the hurri- cane, followed by mountainous waves whose white caps every instant seemed likely to sweep her decks, the schooner passed through a series of scenes so heartrending that the spectators will never forget them. Every now and then they rushed passed a dory with its occupants given up to de- spair, knowing well that there was no possibility of rescue. The most daring mariner would never have ventured even to heave his ship to, much less to lower his boat, in the fearfully heavy sea that prevail- ed. By and by, as the wind blew harder, the Wachusett passed more dories, but those were bottom up, and their crews had doubtless perished. One of the sailors said the derelict dories were plentiful as sea gulls, and spars, oars, water casks and other deck gear were seen in plentiful profusion.

FURY OF THE GALE.

Captain Hillier says that the gale was terrific. It was unequalled in violence, considering the earliness of the season, by any storm in his memory. It arose from the eastward at eight o'clock on Sunday morning, when thousands of fishermen were away from their ships engaged in their work. Some were attending to their lines and others to their trawls, when the first warning of the approaching gale was given. The squall struck them so suddenly that it was almost a miracle that so many escaped. Destruction seemed imminent to all, and only by marvellous efforts did any of the frail little craft manage to pull alongside their ships.

THE LOSSES,

Various estimates have been made of the losses. By the most moderate accounts it seems clear that eighty lives have been lost. No less than two hundred dories have been lost, and the damage to the fishing fleet is very large. Many of them lost anchors and cables. The sails of others were torn to ribbons, and not a few were dismasted. One French fishing brig lost four dories and eight men. Many vessels had their decks swept. Anchors and cables were lost, and every vessel on the Banks was more or less damaged by wind or sea. About two thousand dories were away at their trawls.

THE SEA STREWN WITH WRECKAGE,

The gale seems to have arisen first in the east, veering to the north-northeast and blowing for a long time in that direction. The heavy sea that rapidly arose became more confused and choppy as the wind veered. One of the crew of the Wachusett described it as being like a boiling caldron, and feared that but few of the men in the dories who were not alle to reach their vessels would eventuaily escape. The captain said that the sea for fully thirty miles in his schooner’s course was strewn with wreckage. His vessel was anchored about twenty miles southeast of the Virgins, and he said he thinks he escaped the fall fary of the gale. His experience of it was had enough, but from certain signs he thinks the rest of the fleet fared worse than he.

SHIPT DASHED ASHORE.

Last night, while the northerly blast was at its highest here, the schooner ‘‘Carrie E. Lean,” of Gloucester, Mass. ,with 1,000 quin- tals of codfish on board, parted her moor- ings and was dashed ashore. She new lies in a damaged condition on the dry strand. Not long afterward the British schooner Annie D. went ashore on Holyrood Beach, in Conception Bay. She was dashed up by the waves close to the stranded American fisherman. No lives were lost.

The storm of yesterday and last night

abated at four o'clock this morning, when | the thermometor sank to 48 degrees Fahre: h it from 70 degrees at noon yester- | day. Itis now almost calm with a light northwest wind and cloudy. |

AT ST. PIBRRE.

A cable despatch from St. Pierre, re- | celved here to-night, says that the gale | there was very violent. It blew terrifically from the southeast. Three vessels were driven from their anchorage in the roads on Thursday morning, and were blown high and dry on the shore. The French brigantine ‘*Victoria” became a total wreck on Wednesday. Her hull, as she lies stranded on the beach,was sold for 14,000f. The mail steamer ‘‘Shattuck’ arrived at St. Pierre this morning, after having ex- perienced the heaviest gale on record. The steamers ‘‘Kite,” ‘‘Antiere” and ‘‘Flor- ence” are lying in Lhe roads, weatherbound. Serious apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the whole French fleet. This storm will probably wind up this year’s fishing operations.

AT CAPE RACE,

A telegram from Cape Race this evening states that the storm and high sea of last night had considerably abated. Immense damage was done to fishing plant and skiffs along the coast. In one locallity five fish- ing vessels, three punts and two dories, with a quantity of fish, were swept away by the sea, which rose toa tremendous height. Several pieces of wreckage—water casks, boards and other materials drove past the Cape westward yesterday evening.

Terrible Murder near Sherbrooke.

ae POISONED WITH

A MUSBAND DELIBERATELY SPRYCHNINE.

The residents of Sherbrosvke, Quebec, have been thrown into a state of excitement by disclosures which indicate the perpetra- tion of a fearful crime on Sunday of last week in the village of Bulwer. Bulwer is thirteen miles from Sherbrook, in the town- ship of Eaton. The murdered man is Mr. 8. E. Coates, merchant of Bulwer village. He was 28 years of age at the time of his death and had been married but four years, his wife having been Emma © Rogers, daughter of Alfred Rogers, a well-to-do farmer of Eaton Corners.

The facts are these: Shortly before eight o'clock on Sunday evening, Mrs. Coates called from the gallery in front of her house to Mr. Sanborne, a neighbor, that her husband was dangerously ill. Mr. and Mrs. Sanborne, and Mr. and Mrs. Griflin, who all heard the alarm, hurried over to Mr. Coates’ house, where they found the dying man stretched upon a bed, with his arms folded across his breast as if in great agony. Hecried out with the pain in his legs, and begged them to rub them, but not to lift them or they would break. He also asked them to wet his lips, and in five minutes expired in great suffering. The post-mortem examination was made by Dr. S. E. Tabb, of Sherbrooke, and Dr. A. E. Hopkins, of Cookshire. From the manner of Mi. Coate’s death they were quite con- vinced that it had been caused by poison,

Police Magistrate Rioux, at Sherbrooke, issued a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Coates, who was consequently taken into custody, and confined in Sherbrooke jail. Coroner Woodward brought the stomach of the deceased to town, and it was exam- ined physicially by Dr. Vallee on Saturday. The usual test was made with live frogs,and undoubted traces of strychnine were found. Those frogs placed in water with which a portion of the fluid from the stomach was mixed, were seized with convulsions and died, exactly as did those in water mixed with strychnine.

Enquiries are made on all hands as to the object of the murder. It is generally supposed in the district that there is a par- mour in the case. His name is for the present withheld, as no legal reason has so far been given for placing him in custody. It is said, however, that this man spent more than an hour alone in the house with Mrs. Coates on Sunday, while her husband was at church, and a brother of the deceas- ed says that the latter told him in cenfi- dence, on the Thursday night before his death, that he would have to part from his wife, as she was faithless to him, and he could no longer remain with her. The eup- posed murderer is a handsome young woman, short, rather stout, and blonde, and only 24 years of age.

The whole of this sad affair has caused a painful sensation in the neighborhood of Sherhrooke, where Mr. and Mrs. Coates were both well known, and where it was supposed they lived happily together.

TYY the use of the Whecler System of Reflectors, the Patentees claim that 300 per cent. more light is made available.

These Reflectors are adapted to general uses, utilizing all the light and distributing the same where it is wanted. They are adapted to any method of street lighting - gas, kero ene, or electric—and _ the fixtures can be used with little or no change. They are adapted equally well for use in factories, foundries, on wharves, in warehouses, shops, cars, railway stations, hotels, offices, or houses. The increased effiiciency due to the use of these reflectors, as

careful test of them, varies from 300 to 490 per cent., the average increase of light with re- flectors being over three times that without—results which certainly should command atten- tion from all desiring a comparatively inexpensive increase of light.
