Church Confederation.

THE WORK OF THE GREAT ANGLICAN CONFER- ENCE AT WINNIPEG.

Dr. R. W. Heneker, of Sherbrooke, chancellor of Bishops’ University has re- turned to Montreal from the Northwest, where he represented the diocese of Que- bee at the conference of the two provinces of the Church of England in Canada on the consolidation of theirinterests. In conver- sation with a representative ofthe Montreal Gazette he said that the conference consisted of delegates from the provincial synods of Canada and Rupert’s Land and from the dioceses included in them, an¢@ in British Columbia. The meeting was held during the session of the synoi of the province of Rupert's Land, and Dr. Machray, the metropolitan of Rupert’s Land presided. Though not large numerically, the confer- ence was fully representative of the church, and the discussion evinced wuch thought on the part of the members as to the pur- pose, work and effect of the proposed union. Before the meeting there appeared some signs among the Northwest members of a fear that there was an intention on the part of the eastern delegation to bring their dioceses and organization into subjection to the ecclesiastical province of Canada. This, Dr. Heneker says, was effectually dispelled during the discussion, which, while it resulted in the unanimous adoption of the scheme of union, was very full, covering every point of the issues raised and giving evidence that the participants fully appreciated an‘ understood the importance of the course they recommended. At the cpening ses- sion on Friday the Metropolitan explained his views, and after « general discussion participated in by Dr. Davidson and Arch- deacon Lindsay, of Montreal, a committee was appointed by the Metropolitan and the Bishop of Toronto, to draft a scheme of union. The report was submitted the next day (Saturday.) It recommended in effect that there shall be for the Dominion and the colony of Newfoundland, a gereral synod, made up of delegates from the vari- ous synods, and which is, generally speak- ing, to have special control over matters of doctrine, worship and discipline. The pro- vincial synods of Canada and Rupert’s Land will still retain their organization and dis- charge their governing and administrative functions. So with the various inferior dioceses and those not organized into pro- vinces. There will, therefere, be three ruling bodies in the church, the diocesan and the provincial synods, and the vew general synod to be created, whose president shali hold the title of primate and shall be elected from among the provincial metro- politans.

The discussion was free and extended. Clause by clause the report was gone through and debated. Where objections were raised they were refuted and where doubts were expressed they were diss:;:t- ed. The best evidence was given that the conference thoroughly appreciated the meaning of the work it was engaged in, and after the report had been carried al- most verbatim, the scheme of union in its integrity was unanimously adopted. The meeting showed the profound feeling that animated it by singing the doxeloyy. it was felt, Dr. Heneker states, that the church in Canada will be tmmensely strengthened by the union, both as regards its diocesan and its provincial work, and also that its missionary character will be deepened and extended This was the general impression, and that the doubts that had been entertained by the western members, have been thoroughly dissipated is shown by the fact that immediately on the con- clusion of the conference, the provincial synod of Rupert’s Land, then in session, formally accepted the scheme and made such amendments to the constitution as were necessary to bring it into effect. This action, also, was taken unanimously. Though there is a known divergence in church views between the dioceses of the Northwest, all agreed as to the wisdom and advantages of the federation.

The next steps towards the consumma- tion of the union are to be taken by the diocesan synods, to whom the scheme will be sent for discussion and action If these look upon it favorably, as to which, judg- ing by the feeling shown at the conference, there is no doubt, and the provincial.synod of Canada accepts, the new general synod of the Church of England in Canada will meet at Toronto, in September, 1893,under the presidency of the senior Metropclitan by consecration.

A Man’s Life for a Horse’s Life.

MR. THEOPHILUS FARQUHARSON EXPIRES THIS MORNING.

Fine was discovered, shortly after eleven o'clock on Saturday evening, in a stsble at the rear of the storesof J.D.MeLeod ndB. Re gers, Esq., on (Jueen Strect. Ln less time than it takes to tell the tale the building was blazing. A number of citizens rushed to the scene. Among them was Mr. Theophi- lus Farquharson, a prominent and active member of the Salvage Corps and an enter- prising citizen. Three valuable horses, belonging to J, D. McLeod, were confined in box stalls in the burning building, and Mr. Farquharson, who !iappened to be well acquainted with the premises, went through the flames to try an:/ them. He quickly returned with one horse, and went in again for the other two. In a very short space of time he came out again, and fell upon the ground, the flesh of his hands, arms, face, neck and mouth being literally roasted. He was at ouce removed to the adjoining office of Dr. Taylor, where every- thing was done that skill could do to alle- viate his sufferings. Thence he was taken

save

to his home—‘*The Duncan House,” Water Street,—on a mattress. The attentions of Drs. Taylor, Kelly and Jenkins were continued. But without avail. The heat and smoke which he inhaled while in the burning

had so greatly injured his lungs that it was impossible to save his life. Notwithstand- ing the best and most careful treatment, he passed away at a quurter to tive o'clock this morning

Our firemen, acting under the. directions of their active chief engiueer, soon had the fire under contro! But if it were net for the pi ntiul sappy «i water and the ex- cellent system of waiciworks« at their cis

posal, we should probably lock to-day upon a large area of black and smoking ruins. As it is, the result is a bacly charred build- ing, two very valuable young horses, by Hernando, smothered in the smoke,

and an heroic man burned to death in his prime. As to the cause of the fire there is no

room for doubt. It was the work of an in- cendiary. Mr. McLeod himself visited the stable nut half an hour before the flames burst out. He left everything safe, and there was then no smell of smoke or sign of fire. Three doors in the loft, opposite the rear of the building occupied by Messrs. P. Monaghan and George Gardiner, were shut when the stable was closed for the night, and were found open after the fire occurred. A fire had, evidently, been set to some straw, paper and other inflammable ma- terials placed in a privy next the stable; and a large glass bottle which had contain- ed turpentine or something of that kind was found on the end of an empty puncheon close by. Without doubt the incendiary had climbed the ladders which werefound against the building, forced open the doors in the loft, sprinkled with tur- pentine the straw which was lying upon it, and then applied the match to it at three or four places.

Further, fire was discovered in the loft of Mr. Miller’s stable. It will be remem- bered that this stable was partially burned a short time ago. The wall was subse- quently boarded and shingled rendering the penetration of a spark from the outside quite impossible. Yet though the wall was not burned the fire was found inside—lit there, beyond a doubt, by some person bent upon making a general conflagration

NOTES.

It is suggested that a public subseriptiou be made for the purpose «i obtaining money to erect a suitable monument with which t» commemorate Mr. Farquharson’s hervic act and sad death.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Sir,—In a recent issue of the EXAMINER I read an article headed ‘‘A Flower and Art Association,” in which the writer ap- peals to the lovers of ‘‘the most delicate and beautiful products of nature’s labora- tory,” with the view of enlisting the services of ladies and gentlemen who take an interest in such matters, in organizing a committee to the end, that the Floriculture and Fine Arts department of our Exhibition may be made more interesting and attractive. I can only say in reference tu this subject, that if the gentlemen named by your cor- respondent who have ‘‘expressed their willingness to assist,” will meet at my office at their earlieat convenience, they wiil have my assistance and best wishes for the suc- cess of their efforts in the direction indi cated by your correspondent. Yours truly, A. McNett,

Pleasant Weather, Good Fare and a Delightful Drive Through the Country.

——= a ee

A special passenger train left Charlotte- town on Satarday morning at nine o'clock, carrying about two hundred citizens of Charlottetown and the visiting members of the Maritime Press Association. The train was in charge of Conductor Macgowan, and Mr. Unsworth himself was on board, so that the trip was made smvuvthly and pleasantly. Arrived at Souris, the press party were refreshed by an excelicnt din- ner at the Sea View House. Then they went, in carriages provided by John Mac- Lean, M. P. P., Thomas Kickham, M. L. C., High Sheriff Macdonald, Dr. Muttart, Messrs. Sterns, Murphy, Carleton, Gox and other citizens, to see the country in the vicinity. They were greatly delighted with the drive along the banks of the beautiful Souris river, and much impressed by the natural advantages possessed by Souris as a place of summer resort. All the ex- cursionists seemed to have enjoyed a thoroughly pleasant day. They returned to Charlottetown in high spirits. At the station hearty cheers were given for Super- intendent Unsworth aud Conductor Mac- gowan.

On Sunday forenoon, most of the press party attendedthe Methodist Brick Church, to which the pastor welcomed them in a felicitous address which was most appro- priately responded to by the Rev. Dr. Lathern of the Provincial Wesleyan. Dr, Lathern also preached an excellent sermon.

The party left this morning to return to the mainland by way of Cape ‘Traverse, intending to inspect the Ship railway works at Bay Verte and proceed to Sack- ville.

The meeting of the Association next year will be at St John.
