This is, we understand, the last trip of the Halitax this season. Since coming on this route she has done a very good passenger and freight traffic. Captain Hill and his able staf of officers have made many friends here, who trust that they may spend a pleasant winter and return next season even better than ever prepared for work. Seasonab_e.—The following touching lines, although not written expressly for Tae Ex- AMINER, are so timely that we give them place to-day: The boy stood near a sunken shaft, And bitter tears he shed; We eyed the youngster fore and aft His hair and nose were red. He looked the picture of distress, The very type of woe; We asked why his unhappiness, His voice came sad and low; And while the lad in tears relates The story, we are awed. Said he, “I bought a pair of skates, And now it’s gone and thawed.” en A Swerpine CHaLtLence.—John L, Sullivan has issued the fol owing challenge to Jake Kilrain, who claims to be the champion of the World :—~ New Yors, Dec. 7, 1888. “T hereby challenge Jake Kilrain t » fight me according to the latest rules of the Lon. don prize ring for the sum of $10,000 a side, or as mach more as he would like to make it, the fight t o take place six months after signing articles, the place of fight to be mutually agreed upon. 1 have this day placed in the hands vt the sporting editor of the Clipper the sum of $5000 as a guarantee of good faith.

He was working in thesecond story of the mill when the explo- sion occurred, and was hurled through a window and across the street. He cannot live. Persons asleep in buildings adjacent to the mill were thrown clear out of their beds by the force of the explosion and in- jured. The loss will aggregate about $150,000. Another body, that of Ernest Casper, has just been found in the ruins. (QUEBEC, Dee. 11. An explosion of gas took place this morn- ing in the of a house occupied by La France Bi wk bindery, aud adjoining the office of the Morning Chronicle. The shock cellar was very severe, completely wrecking the building. There was no person in the building at the time. The gas company will have a heavy bill to settle, as thus far the damages are estimated at from $30,000 to $40,000. More tepublican Victories. Boston, Dee. 11. Thos. N. Hart (Republican) the citizens’ candidate, was elected Mayor to-day, by about 1600 plurality in a total vote of over 6,000, defeating Mayor O’Brien (Democrat) who ran forthe fourthterm. Enough votes have been already counted to indicate the election of the entire Republican School Committee, and the consequent condemna- tion of the conduct of the present commit- tee in withdrawing from the schools text books offensive to Catholics. The license majority is about 17,000. Later.—Hart’s majority is 1700. The entire Republican ticket for School Com mittee is elected. The composition of the board of aldermen and council is about the same as last year. An Act of Courtesy Only. Hatirax, Oct. 11. Regarding the transhipment of fish by the American schooner N. A. Babson in bond to Boston, the Custom House officials explain that the vessel came in here for re- pairs with a perishable cargo of fresh hali- but. Capt. Thompson explained the perish- able nature of his cargo and asked permis- sion to tranship it in bond. The special circumstances of the §case were similar to half a dozen others reported during the past year, and which induced the depart- ment to make special concessions of the privilege of transhipment. The officials positively deny that this transhipment is inany Way a recoguition of the claims of the United States, and say itis only a special act of courtesy to an American ves- sel, which put in here in distress, vent her cargo from ae A Generous Offer. Toronto, Dec. 11. A. Massey has sub- mitted a definite offer to Geo. A. Cox, Bursar of Victoria University, saying he will give $100,000 towards the Endowment Fund of the University as a separate insti- tution, conditional on its remaining at Co- bourg, provided that the additional sum of $400,000 be raised within five years to- wards a like object. Mr. Massey pro- mises to give $5,000 a year for five years to the University unconditionally. It is stated that H. eee cern ellen The Pope Displeased. ed Rome, Dec. 11. A sensation has been caused by the Pope’s refusal to bless medals and reli- quaries sent to Rome by the Irish priests, who intended them for distribution in Ire- land.
