QONSTABLE JAS, FARRELL Shot by Thomas Bastian, WHILE SERVING A WARRANT. Bastian Commits Suicide. Moncron, April 6. A terrible tragedy ocgurred at Painsac Junction, 7 miles from Moncton, at noon to-day. A fortnight ago, Thos. Bastain, of Painsac, was convicted at §hediac of a second violation of the Scott Act, and fined $100. To-day Constable Jas. Farrell, of Shediac, came through to Painsac with a distress warrant. He enter- ed Bas ian’s place and after some conversa- tion offered to settle for $59. Bastian refus- ed to pay anything, saying that he did not consider he had been properly convicted. Farrell said he would have to proceed to execute the distress warrant, and was warned by Bastian not to touch anything, the latter saying ‘“‘If you do, by God, there will be trouble.” Farrell started for Bastian’s bar and Bastian went into his bedroom, got a loaded 38-calibre revolver and coming back fired a bullet into Farrell’s abdomen, near the umbilicus. Bastian’s wife rushed in and caught his arm when he discharged another shot into the ceiling. Farrell staggered out of the house exelaiming, ‘* My God I am shot,” and Bastian, half crazed by the enormity of his crime, went into his bar and, saying be would never be hanged for that put a bullet imto his brain, the shot entering just above the right temple, and proving :»mmediately fatal. Bastian never moved or uttered a word after falling. His wife and daughter rushed in and a sickeriing sight met their gaze. Bastain’s head was lying in a pool of his own blood. Coroner Smith, of Shediac, and a jury held an _in- quest, when a verdict was re- turned. that the deceased came _ to his death by a pistol shot fired by his own hand. Bastian was 66 years of age, and was tormerly section foreman on Intercolonial Railway. Farrell’s injuries may prove fatal. Thijs afternoon the doc- tors had pot succeded in probing the wound, The 0.

Addresses were presented to both, referringin complimentary terms to | their officient services in connection with tle | School. Mr. Crosby replied in appropriate terms. Addresses by several of the teachers present, two solos by Miss Strong, and sing- ing by others filled in the hours of a very pleasant evening.

The Company undertake to expend the proceeds of their bonds in rolling stock, branch lines and improving their line north of Lake Superior so as to bear the maximum of trafic at the mini- mum of cost. Not a-dollar by way of bonus or subsidy is to be paid by the Government. Practically the Company surrender their monopoly without costing the country a dollar, merely utilizing the credit vt Canada to float bonds, far every dollar of which the Guyernment hvlds ample security. The agreement is regarded. by impartial men here as an excellent one, disposing once and forever of the monopvly difficulty, and providing the Company with the means to properly equip their line with rolling stock, while, at the same time, the country is amply protected against any possible loss in connection with its guarantee.

Our Book Table. The contents of the April number of that excellent n ine known as J'he Century is replete with good reading and full of illustracions. The article **Dan to Beer- sheba” is a splendid revelation of what is seen on that journey, and is very satisfy- ing to a religious mind. Next to this is placed a continuation of ** The Grayson’s,” an interesting section of that story. Those who love birds, and can play on the pianv ‘will be delizhted to find the music of those songs su dear to the ornithologist, and wel- come to everyone. ‘The Round-up,” with Egyleston’s sketches, is full of inter- est on the subject of herding, branding and stampeding events in the far West. Geo. Keenan’s paper on the Russian penal codes will be a surprise to freedom-loving Ameri- cans; and all interested in telegraphy will tind that the article entitled ‘*The Ameri- can Inventors of the Telegraph,” splendidly illustrated, is full of information, as showing its early growth. James Lane Allen has contributed a readable article called ‘‘ Two Kentucky Gentlemen of the Old School,” which is a telling resurrection of what Ken- tueky once did and said. The corset sub ject is gone into from Egypt to Dr. Warner's Coraline or Mexican Ixthe plant, and ex- hibits all the wasp forms from the birth of the fashion fiend to April 1888, the date of the present number of The Centwry Illus- trated Monthly Magazine, published in Union Square, New York city. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. * Mistaken Kindness. ” Sir,—The article ** Mistaken Kindness,” that recently appeared in the Patriot, and the leiter signed ‘#Honesty” were evidently written by the same party. In both vii dictiveness, and f |! eiood, the c.m- panios of a distorted imayinatior, run rivt. ‘“Monesty” says that the untruthful statement and inhuman comments con- tained in the article *‘ Mistaken Kindness,” are the words of mostly all the citizens of Charlottetown. How can this be passible when the Patriot of the same date contains # paragraph alleging the statements con- tained in said article to be untrue, and retracting the same. The fact that many Christian men and women have sympathy tor the unfortunate-boy Miullman, affords ‘** Honesty” an opportunity for vile com- ments and low surmises. He is evidently one of those upon whuse supine understand- ing those memorable words: ‘‘He whv is without sin among you, &c.” have fallen unheeded. “Honesty” gives it as his opinion that Millman is guilty of the crime of which he is convicted, and I must do him the justice to say he has attempted to be candid, As he has givea his opinion to the public with- vut being asked, we may discuss its value without giving offence. _ Is not ‘*Honesty” the same individgal who saw the prisoner unchained, and described him with all the puerility of a novice as receiving a deadly weapon from his brother, and who attri- buted terrible motives tothe same little brother, who came to take a last farewell of the prisoner. I think that even *‘Honesty” will admit, when he reflects upon the ‘sus- picions to which he has given publicity, that his opinion is. not reliable, and that the public may well differ fram him. One whe could, in this enlightened age, write in favor of dungeons and chains, is certainly rather the object of compassion than of resentment. He scarce deserves passing notice, and had better retire to ybscurity. Even there, though he cannot vease to excite comment, he may cease to be ridiculous, OnE oF THE Many. April 7, 1888. sidielateg*s Reply to Honesty. Dear Si1n,—Seeing by your last night’s issue, that no nutice was taken of the let- ter of ** Honesty,” in the Patriot of the 5th, another ‘‘One of the Many” would like to say just a word or two on the sub- ject, if you will kindly give the space in your paper. As there is no doubt whatever as to the \ttorney mentioned in ‘* Honesty’s”’ letter, L wish to state, before going any further, hat I am neither one of the ** flankies,’ nor yet one of the ‘tete’s” of the gentleman referred to, and know hin merely enough to speak when we meet. There are many right-thinking men in this town who very stronzly duubt Millman’s guilt, and surely they have as much right to their opinions is ‘* Honesty” has to his. As to one of the watchmen giving notice that he would nv longer act as such, that may or may not be sv, ‘but the idea of any man _ escaping, when he is chained ta the wall, and two men outside his cell all the time,. is so utterly absurd that no one would entertain it for a moment. ‘* Honesty” isa little incunsistent, too, for in the first part of his letter he says there is no one, beyond a certain few, who believe in Millman’s in- nocence, and at last time he says, ‘**there are guite a number of falsely sym- pathetic persons,” etc. I think it would be hard to find anyone who would be inhu- man enough not to have a ‘ spark of pity” for the poor murdered girl; but I also think chat no one, whether they did or did not believe in Millman’s injogence, could think with any other feelings than those of in- tense pity for the poor unfortunate boy, only nineteen years old, so soon to die such a cruel death, With regard to ‘those who pursue will be pursued,” it is not such a childish idea as ‘* Honesty” imagines,—and as, perhaps, he will prove for himself. before many years. Thanking you, Mr, Editor, for your space, I am, Yours, &c., ANOTHER ONE OF THE Many. Ch’town, April 6, 1858. ~ Weather Bulletin. Toronto, April 7—-10 a. m.

Scott Act Amendment Wanted. | The Scott Act operates so severely on druggists, says the Parliamentary corres- pondent of the Montreal Gazette, that if they keep strictly within the meaning of the act they cannot sell ordinary tinctures and essence without rendering themselves liable to prosecution under the act. Thus essences of ginger, tinctures of various not be sold without running the risk of being bronght before a magistrate to ansWer a charge of voilating the Scott Act. The Qntario College of Pharmacy took legal advice on this point and the opinion was that the sale of any preparation con-| taining spirits, and which could be par- taken of without much danger to the general health, could nut be suld by any who are not licensed vendors under the act. This unsatisfactory feature of the act was brought to the nutice of the House of Commons in 1885 in the form of an amend- ment, which would relieve druggists from the disabilities under which they are placed. The amendment was favorab! received and carried in the Commons on also passed the Senate, but, unfortunately for the cause of the poor druggists, the Senate tacked ona olause permitting the sale of beverages containing a small quantity of alcohol. When sent back to the Commons, as might have been expect- ed, the whvle amendment was thrown out, The matter is again to be brought before the House, an amendment being about to be introduced in effect that nothing in the act shall interefere with the purchase or preparations of authorised pharmacopoeia, spirituous liquors in quantities of not more than half a pint ordered by physicians’ prescriptions, eau de gologngybay rum, or other artigles of perfuinery, lotions, extracts varnishes, tinctures, or other pharmaceu- tical preparations, containing alcohol but not intended for us+ as beverages, and patent medicines not known to the vendor as being capable of being used as beverages. In the interests of the druggists G. 8. Hobart, of Kingston, and Hy. Watters, of Ottawa, members of the Ottawa College of Pharmacy, had an interview with Sir John A Macdonald to explain the unfair position of druggists in Scott act constituencies and asked “hee a favorable reception to the amendment to be considered in the House. They were warmly received by Sir John, who gave them every encouragement and assured them the amendment would have his. earnest consideration. : Ship News.
