Terrible Disaster.
»
The German ironclad Grosser Kurfurst collided with the ironclad Konig Wilhelm, at 9.45 of the morning of the 3lst May, three miles off Folkshore, in the British Channel. The Grosser Kurfurst sank almost immediately after she struck. The steam- ers boilers exploded as she went down. The weather was bright and the sea calm. It is reported from Dover that only 18 per- sons out of 460 aboard the Grosser Kurfurst were saved. Boats went from the shore and were sent from the vessels of the Ger- man fleet to the assistance of the drowning people, and it is hoped more lives are saved.
The captain of the fishing boat makes the following statement: My boat with other fishing vessels was returning to Folkestone, when we noticed {three iron-clads coming down. Grosser Kurfurst ported her helm to clear bark Konig, which hauled hard port and struck Grosser Kurfurst forward of her mizzen mast. Aurfurst went over on her broadside and sunk in five minutes. She went down in fifteen fathoms. All hands jumped overboard. Our _ boats

jut the Patriot says the Government can do nothing for the suffering of the country. The whole world is suffering, and we must suffer too. True. But the suffering may be assuaged, and would be greatly mitigated if we had but a skilful Government. How easily the West India Trade—now lost— might have been preserved! Mr. George Gordon Dunstan, of Halifax, in a recent letter says :—
“T have already expended upwards of forty thousand pounds sterling on real and personal estate in connection with this industry ; and the parties connected with me in the enter- prise, who are now in England, are prepared to bring another two hundred thousand pounds sterling to complete the works and run the business. A thousand men and more would be constantly employed at good wages. The Government are very well aware that they have been the sole cause of keeping this great item of prosperity away from the country, by not only foolishly and persistently, but rudely refusing to alter the present unjust, ridiculous, and impolitic sugar duties.
“The tariff I propose would give the con- sumer cheaper and better sugar, and yield the Exchequers as much revenue as the
present, besides giving, necessarily, great stir and activity to the general trade of the country, and great advantage to traders and shippers. gut now I stand
idle, and my magnificent property lies dor- mant. Iam convinced sir, that if we do not turn out the present very corrupt and in- capable Government—if we have such men as Cartwright, McKenzie and Mills for another five years, rain will come upon the Dominion. Surely your Province will help us to turn them out.”
As with the sugar, so with the tea trade and other branches of business, now di- verted from the Dominion and carried on by the United States.

Starvation in Labrador.
Sad accounts are received at Quebec of the suffering of the people at Labrador. The fisheries failed them last fall, and the traders, who give them provisions in barter for their fish and oil, abandoned the terri- tory, not caring to let the wretched people have goods on eredit. Thus before winter set in, the whole population was left to starve or subsist until summer on fish offal for crops are impossible on that sterile shore. Whole families have lived through the winter on rotten, half-frozen carcasses of fseals driven ashore by the ice floes, Others have kept body aud soul tugether by devouring the nauseous flesh of the black loup-marin, @ species of seal which, in pros- perous times, would be shunned even by the dogs.

tet ‘ RTHY MURDER,
Evidence at the Inquest.
THE
The
Suepsac, May 31. Deputy Sheriff Sweeney has returned from the Island and brought with him the woman who circulated the report that Annie Parker’s brother killed McCarthy. It seems there is no reason whatever for the parading of such aa report. She was married. The
iwoman’s name is Fitzgerald, and she for-
merly lived in Shediac as a domestic. The man Milligan was also brought over.
The Court opened this morning as usual.
David Cormier was called—-Is book-keeper inthe employ of KE. J. Smith, aged 28. Application was made to him by Dorion, Sharpe, and Shea’s apple tree representa- tives to buy trees. He purchased some from Dorion 15th Oct.; three or four days after Sturges or Merrick wanted to sell him some; told Sturges he had ordered a few days ago all that he would require from Dorion. Certain Sturges or Merrick applied to him the same week he had ordered from Dorion, and three or four days after. Knew noth- ing about the death of McCarthy.
Joseph A. Legere called : Has practised medicine in Shediac for about four years. Have known the prisoners since last fall. Believed he had seen ‘Timothy McCarthy, once out driving and another time at the
Weldon House. On the 12th Oct. was boarding at the Weldon House. Entered
the bar-room about 19 o'clock in the even- ing of that day. The door was open, and when he entered parties there were talking about horses. Chip. Smith, Martin Mc- Donald, and a horseman, he believed,named
Milligan, from the Island, were there. Witness stood behind the counter, and
shortly after McCarthy came in. McOarthy shook hands with hiin, and,if he remembers, McCarthy was introduced to Milligan and Smith. McCarthy asked the crowd to havea drink, and ali drank. The party then began to talk about horses. Me- Carthy was recommended to Milligan, but did not trade. McCarthy said he was voing to the Island to buy a fast horse. About ten minutes after the first drink Me- Carthy asked the crowd to have another drink, and they did so. The horse conver- sation was continued. About ten minutes after the second drink McCarthy called for another. Shortly after this witness said he must go. He was sleeping in his own, office at the time. Witness treated before he left. Witness then attempted to go and Me- Carthy took him by the arm and retained him. Milligan next treated. Then a horse and wagon came past the side entrance to the bar, and McCarthy and Martin went out. Witness took this chance to go to bead, which was 10.50 o'clock. McCarthy had on a black felt hat and rubber coat. McCarthy was standing all the time in the barm room, and Smith and Milligan were setting down. Witness was at the end of the counter. He knows Chas. Hamilton ; did not see him enter the bar or drink with the others ; did not notice Smith and McCarthy go out and fetch in Hamilton. In passing out through the hall he believed the smoking room door was shut, did not see Hewson just before entering the bar- room ; McCarthy after taking five diinks, which were light, did not appear to stagger. Witness felt that he had enough when he left.
To Holstead—McCarthy and Smith were in the bar all the time witness was there. Witness recollected seeing Dorion a_ little tight at the Waverly on Monday, 1dth. Did not see the Sturges and Merrick men there.
Has thinks her husband had on his penne |
over $1,000, On the 12th Oct. saw her hus- band have a large roll of money; he always kept money in his socks. She asked him that day for some money, and he gave % off a roll that was not apparently as large as the one taken from the socks. Did not know what denominations the bills were; both rolls were pretty large. When he left home he said he was going north, He asked her what she wanted money for; she said she wanted to go through on the train to Shediac, and accordingly came and went to Point DuChene. A fortnight ago Saturday last saw her husband’s dead body, and re- cognized him by the side of his face; fol- lowed his remains with her three children to Irishtown burying ground. Mr. Me- Carthy would have been 42 years old on the 28th Webruary past.
The witness here gave vent to her feel- ings ina flood of tears. She is a modest and plain looking woman, and was dressed as becomes a widow. |
Cross-examined by Mr. Gilbert—Why did not your husband speak to you when he saw you at Point du Chene /
Witness refused to answer, but, by the advice of Dr. Tuck, said it was she supposed because of coolness between them.
Mr. Gilbert continned—Did that coolness exist when you left Moncton? Witness re- plied, ‘‘ It is not necessary for you to ask such a question; it injures my feelings; my hasband was talking to me at Moncton Sta- tion. Atthe Station he told her he was going to Shediac. Her husband and her brother, Morris O'Neill, had a dispute about three years ago; the dispute was of

Was at the Scadouc since the investigation commenced, and saw Annie Parker point out the road the wagon had gone; pointed out this road to the Jury afterwards. There were wagon tracks in the field and over a part of the course she had poited out. There were no tracks visible on the bank. Was present when Gallant found the stone, and it has been in his custody since. The same stone was exposed to Annie Parker’s view a few days ago. Found on: the stone what he took to be fibers of rope and hair. The fibers and hair, numbering two small hairs and one fibre, were shown by witness; they appeared to be genuine in quality. Ex- amined the bar-room door of the Waverly Hotel, and found that nails had been driven inte the jamb so as to prevent the door opening. The nails had been broken off in order to let the door open. It is supposed the side entrance to the bar was nailed up last October, as described above, and that tis is the reason why the murdered man’s exist was not that way.
To Mr. Holstead— Returned from the Is- land to-day, and found Sturges and Mer- rick’s names registered at a hotel in Sum- merside. N. J. Sturges, C. R. Myrick are registered at McKay’s Hotel, Summerside, Wednesday, Oct. 17th, 1877. On the sill of the bedroom window in McKay’s house, is to be found the following words: ‘‘Sab- bath, Oct. 21, 1877, cool and pleasant. I would like to be home to-day. Signed, Augustus Myrick, West Troy, Maine.
Yo Mr. Tuck—By the nail in the door casing of side entrance to the bar in the Waverly, it appears certain that the door had been shut up.
The Fitzgerald girl brought from the Is- land by Sweeney, it is said, is not the per- son wanted.
sworn. Resides in Shediac.
The peculiarity about the evidence is that ; it contradicts pretty flatly Hamilton's (the! Newcastle) testimony. :
Suepiac, May 31.
A. Milligan was next called—-Is a native of Prince Edward Island; is a farmer and trader in horses. Was at Shediac on the 12th Oct. Don’t know the priscners. Martin McDonald was inthe bar of the Weldon House when he entered. Chip. Smith came in after, and McCarthy after that again. Did not remember Dr. Leger | being there. Would not swear positively, | but thought McCarthy entered the bar from | the side entrance. Could not say how they drank. Milligan said McCarthy thought his three minute horse was not fast enough, and that he was going to the Island for one. McCarthy stood a long speil in the bar and Smith sat down, Thought they had between five and eight drinks. Witness, McCarthy and Smith came out of the bar- room by the side entrance. Witness never went off the platform in front of the house. Smith and McCarthy went away and the former asked the latter where he was going to; he said he was going to Peint du Chene. Smith said you be d d, you are not going to Point du Chene te-night. They went away, and witness did not see them again. Witness came in the front entrance to the house, and, taking a light, went to bed. Was up at daylight next morning, but did not remember seeing Hamilton. Did not think McCarthy had a rubber coat on that night. Thought he had a brown cloth coat on. Did not think McCarthy any the worse of liquor. McCarthy paid for drinks in paper money.
To Mr. Holstead—-McCarthy and Smith were about twenty yards from the Weldon House when he last saw them. It was about twenty minutes from the time he left side entrance of the bar till he entered by main door of the house. Distinctly recollect him- self and the other two leaving the bar by the side entrance. Drank port wine each drink. As near as he could say did not leave the bar before 11 o’clock that night. If Hamilton entered the bar, did not enter while witness was there.
This evidence disagrees materially with Chip. Smith’s. ,
The widow of the murdered man, Mrs.
| was a profitable one.
Timothy McCarthy, was called and testified : Was married at the Cape, Shediac. Moved to Moncton about eight years ago. Mr. McCarthy left five children, the oldest, a boy. is 14 years. Mr. McCarthy’s business was public house in Moncton. The business On the 12th October
McKay's Hotel register corroborates Sturges’ testimony. Sturges swore he left here on the 16th for P. E. Island. Whether Merrick, Sturges and Myric were at the Waverly on the 12th Oct. or not, is much disputed.

A Montreal report says :—‘* A number of immigrants from England, Ireland, Scot- land and Wales arrived, by the steamship Ontstrio yesterday, bound for the Little Saskatchewan, as pioneers. They were under the escort of C. J. Whellams, immi- gration agent, who believes, if their report, is favorable, six hundred more will follow. He has instructions to purchase 4,000 acres of land, in the Saskatchewan Valley, for others coming ous.” :

If these ironclads are as destructive of their ene- mies in war as they are of each other in times of peace they will be terrible to encounter.
