A Bishep Murdered.

Maprip, April 18.

At 10.30 this morning, while the Bishop of Madrid was ascending the steps of the cathedral he was shot with a revolver by a priest. After firing three shots, the priest was seized, thas putting a stop to his mur derous work. His victim was care ried to the private chamber in the cathedral, where the last sacrament tor the dying were administered to him. The motive for the crime was revenge, as the man who fired the shots was recently dis- missed from the priesthood, and had fruit- lessly applied to the Bishop to be rein- stated.

Scheme Denounced. Dusun, April 18.

At a meeting of tenant farmers at Kildysart to-day, the land purchase bill was denounced as simply a measure for the relief of landlords.

It was declared that if the farmers got their holdings on the basis of four years’ rental their position would be very little improved, as they are without the neces- sary capital with which to obtain a start.

A resolution was adopted, asking the Parnellite members of Parliament to op- pose the Bill.

A Ruthless Canard.

Toronto, April 18.

Great excitement was created here yes- terday morning, by the News publishing five columns of a despatch from Ottawa, purporting to be the farewell address of Sir John A, Macdonald, announcing his re- tirement into private life.

On comparing the address with that of President George Washington of 1796 it was found that the two were identical Canada being substituted for America.

Betting on the Re-ult. Lonpon, April 18.

The World's correspondent says ‘‘there is a good deal of betting ameng members of the House as to the probable result of the division on the second reading of the Home Rule Bill. Henry Labouchere has laid Lord Randolph Churchill an even 100 pounds that the bill will pass the second reading, and betting is generally even.”

Danger Averted, Moncton, April 18

Had the cars left the track a frightful accident must have occurred. There were five or six hundred persons in the train.
