Che Daily Examiner OCTOBER 21, 1885. REDBHEMED ST. JOHN Tre result of the election in St. John yesterday, furnishes to the people of Canada the most serious ground for re The New Brunswick, which 1878 and 1882 by the Grit party, has elected a Liberal-Conservative can flection. Metropolitan County of was carried ip DOW . . . . Tr didate by a sweeping majority. The figures are as follows :— 1885. Bverett (COM. pccccee.. ccc scccceccece 2068 McLeod ((Grit)...... 2597 Majority. 371 LoS? Everett (Con.) - 1925 yy £8 ee ee oe gee 1864 BPUPOO (GFIED .. ccc cccccceveces 2459 Weldon (Grit)...... . 22 Majority of Burpee over Tuck WO Majority of Weldonover Everett 300 The great increase in the number of votes polled yesterday over the returns of 1882 may be partly due to the uousual taken the contest, but the of the iacreased the operations of the Act passed recently by the Local Legis- ot New It the manner in which about a thousand young for the first interest in main cause vote is new Franchise is latu:e Brunswick. men and poor men—who, time, exercised the right of voting —have thrown their weight, which clothes the election with such mighty significance. The Conservative candidate polled 1043 more votes than he did in 1882, while the gain for the Grit candidate has been only 138. Nearly the whole of the men lately enfranchised have cast their votes in favor of the Government of Sir Joho Macdonald! the effect of an enlarged Franchise on With this commentary on the strength of parties, it is not hard to understand why the Grits resorted to such desperate means to obstruct the passage of the Dominion Franchise Act There doubt that what has occurred in St. John last session. is little reason to will happen in 1887 in a number of the constituencies of the larger Provinces, where the new Franchise Act has con- ferred electoral privileges for the first time on an important class of the population. The result of this election is also very important, becanse it administers a tell- ing rebuke to the false policy sub- mittted to the electors by Mr. McLeod and the supporting him. The Grit press and speakers in St. John tried to persuade the electors that Reci- organs procal Free Trade with the United States could be consummated at any time at the will of the Government of Canada. This contention was simply a continuation of the cry raised in the House of Commons in 1884 and 1885, by the silly and dis- honest motion on Reciprocity, made by our representative, Mr. L. H. Davies. Mr. Weldon and Mr. McLeod and their organ in St. John, just like Mr. Davies and the Patriot here, deliberately ignored the facts of the case and presumed on the ignorance of the electors. They can now rumisate advantageously over the rebuke they have received, and learn, if not too late, to be a little more honest aod frank in future discussions. The feelings of the Hon. Edward Blake, over the elections in Antigonish aud St. John, can be better understood than described Both these constituencies returned, by large majorities, supporters of Mr. Blake at the elections of 1878 and 1882. They have now withdrawn their confidence from him in a manner at once uumistakable and decisive. In one case a seat formerly held by a supporter of the Opposition, is now filled by a Cabinet minister, while in the other case, the seat held by a leading member of the Mc- Kenzie Administration, is won bya strong supporter of Sir John Macdonald. — A carriage road is to be built from Jeru- salem to the ruins made at Jericho by the blast of Joshua’s ramshurns. A small modern village stands near the ruins, which are sunk 1,200 feet below the sea’s level, in a valley extremely hot, but well watered. Near the road, as proposed, is a monastery, at the very cave in which Elijah is said to have been fed by the ravens. The monas- ‘ery is literally hung on the edge of the precipice, and a few Greek monks live like birds perched on the edge of a nest in this singular abode, to which a chapel pinnacled on a rock is attached. The fall of exchanges and the low price of silver are stimulating the exportation of wheat from India. Enormous shipments are pending. Vessels have already been chartered for shipment of 1,000,000 tons before January. Une hundred thousand persons sought admission to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York, on Wednesday, to view the remains of Cardinal McCloskey. Over 5,000 were turned away when the doors were closed at night. The sum of $1,176 was paid by the Kil- marnock Museum at Edinburgh for the vr an manenaript of Burns’ “ Tam) | yes. The Fitzoatriok Murder, THE ENQUEST RESUMED. Exem'nation of Beales and Smith before the Stipen- diary Magistrate. aa ee ee Tue inquest was last evening, at 7 o'clock, resumed by Cororner McLeod and Jury, in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court room. The following evidence was taken : Henry Smirn, (Sworn)—I went out to Fitz yatrick’s about 2.30 o'clock, on Saturday, with Mr, jeales. I went into the room, where the boy was in bed, alone at first. I spoke to his mother,in the outer room, When I went in I said, ‘Well, my boy, where were you shot? He said, pointing to two different places, ** Here and here. Then | asked him where he was when he was shot, He said across the road, or just across the road. I cannot say which. Then I came out. These were all the questions l asked him as faras I re- member. Mr. Beales and I went in together, The other men who werethere had gone in the mean- time. Lsaid, after laying my hand on his face, bo you know whe shot you, my boy?,” He said two men in a cart. Isaid what sort of a horse had they? He said a big brown horse. rhen I said do you know Frank Beales, He said I said did he shoot you. He said no; I did not see him yesterday. That was all I asked him. At first I was two or three minutes alone with the boy. The men who were outside while [ was in the room with the boy were truckmen, named Yeo and Worth. I did not speak tothe boy about making a charge against any person. The boy's mother was notin the room at all while I wasthere. The mother dia not express a wish to goin with me. I had no other conversation with the boy before Mr. Beales went in except the above. Before IT went outI heard Beales’ son was accused of the shootiug, and I said to Mr. Beales we better go out and get the facts. I think while we were there I did all the talking, Il am quite satisfied in my own mind the boy did not know Mr. Beales. don't think Mr. Beales asked any questions of the boy. CHARLES SAUNDERS (sworn)—I was with John N. Campbell, on Lower Malpeque Road, between four and five o'clock on Friday evening last. We met two young fellows on the road, in a wagon. Mr. Campbell asked me if those were not Jos. Mahar’s boys, and I said no; that was Mr. Beales’ son driving. I know young Beales to see him The reason I knew him I thought I knew the horse and wagon. The horse was black and the wagon a light express. [did not notice any- thing in the wagon except the two boys. I don't know Mrs. McEachern, of West River. We met a good many, but I didn’t knowany of them, We met the boys a little on this side of Hon. Mr, Davies’ farm. I can’t swear it was Beales was in the Wagon. Ithoughtit was by the horse. The seat was pretty well forward. It was a low- backed wagon. I did not notice how the boys were dressed. The boy who was driving had dark clothes on, I did not take notice how the other was dressed. I do not remember seeing any carriage before we met them. I do not remember meeting a boy and a woman. I think I met a woman in asingle seated wagon, with a Mackintosh cloakon. This was at McGill's, after we turned. I don't think I met two menina cart between Mr. Davies’ and Charlottetown. There were horses, wagons and carts on the road. I did not take notice of them. I was watching the load ahead of meontheroad. The wagon the boys drove in was, I think, a double seated wagon, with the back seat taken out. A boy jumped on our wagon, but after reaching the turn at Elliott’s, he crossed the field, and joined us again MeGill’s. He§ hada gun with him which was loaded. MARY JANE Ropp (sworn).—I left town with my little boy George a little after four o’clock on Friday evening last. We went out Spring Park Road and came on the Lower Malpeque Koad. There were no cacriages along with ts. We passed acart at Mr. Douse’s. Mr. Archibald Mc- Nevin, and a young woman whom I thought was his daughter, were in the cart. We also passed a woman walking on the side of the road. She had a can in one hand and a basket inthe other. I thought it was Mrs. Smith, of North River, but she did not look up. We got to Maliett’s about five oelock. We were not driving fast. Two little boys were a short distance the other side of Fitzpatrick’s when we passed. Just as we got to Douse’s Bridge we heard a gun fired down Fitz. patrick’s way. There was a flock of crows there, and just asthe gun was fired the crows flew in an opposite direction from the way they intended. When we were about to turn the corner, a little after the shot was fired, I turned around and saw a wagon, with two young men sitting on the seat, driving towards us. They turned up Holman’s toad, so my little boy said, but when I saw them they had not come to Holman’s Road. They had a kind of a dark horse. I would not swear to any color. Iknow nothing of the boys’ appearance, nor of the style of wagon they had. I do not re- member where I passed Mrs. Smith. I did not hear of the shooting until Saturday morning. There was nothing peculiar about the sound of the gun which was fired first. We called at Mr, Mallett’s. After leaving Mallett’sI do not remem- ber of meeting any teams, To the Foreman—I did not speak to the boys when we passed Fizpatrick’s. [ would not swear whether the parties in the wagon were men or boys, married or single. They were males. I was not close enough to tell whether or not they had whiskers. The Foreman asked :—It has been reported to the jury that a dark horse went to your place last ae. Has any one spoke to you about the mur- der ? Witness—There was no one speaking to me about the murder last night. There was no black horse at our place last night. We talked to a great many about the murder. Most every one is talking about it. Foreman—-When you passed Fitzpatrick’s, did you not ask the boy if he was shot ? Witness—I did not speak to the boy as I passed Fitzpatrick’s. GEORGE Ropp (sworn).—I am twelve years old. I was in town with my mother on Friday. and we left town about four o’clock. When near the bridge by McAdam’s we heard a shot fired right behind us. I did not look behind when I heard the shot fired. I looked round just at the turn of the road to North River Bridge. I saw a wagon coming, the horse trotting. Two men were in the wagon. I was not near enough to know them. They turned up the road that leads tothe upper Malpeque Road. It was a low express wagon they had, and a dark horse, Ido not know whe- ther they were men or boys. I saw no other vehicle when I looked back. I then went to Mallett’s with my mother. I saw no other carriages go by while there, nor did any pass us from Mallett’s to North River Bridge. I don’t remember if we met any. If they were my own brothers in the wagon I could not be able to tell who they were. I could tell whether they had whiskers or not. My mother told me the City Marshall wanted me here. I did not taik to night to anybody about the case. I thought it was a double seated wagon with the back seat taken out. It looked like a low express wagon, but I could not swear to it. I thought the shot was fired at the crows. I did not talktom mother about the shot. [heard about the acci- dent on Saturday evening. I heard no cry after the shot. Questions put by Foreman of the Jury—Did any one speak to you about the murder Saturday night? No. Did a black horse stop at your house last night? No, Mrs, Ropp (re-called -We did not speak of the murder till after we heard of the death of the boy. Then George said he saw the wagon with the two men turn up the cross rood, and that the wagor was like his grandfather’s, | heard nocry. I talked over the matter after with my brother. The Jury then adjourned until this evening at 7 o'clock. The examination of Francis Beales and Arthur Smith, charged with the marder of the boy Joseph Fitzpatrick, was com- menced before the Stipendiary Magistrate this forenoon. Hon. W. W. Sullivan ap- peared on behalf of the crown and L. H. Davis, Esq ,Q C., appeared for the pris- oners. The court room was crowded during the examination. WILLIAM FirzpaTRICK, father of the deceased, was examined by the Attorney-General. The first part of the witnesses testimony was the same as taken before the Coroner’s inquest. He was asked if he knew Beales’ boy, and replied, I do not know Beales’ boy, but I saw a black horse and carriage constantly passing on the road, which wassaid tobe Beales’. I saw him tied along the road, and the two boys down at the creek shooting. From the fact of their being out often,and what Mallett told me, I laid infor- mation against them. To the Magistrate—The deceased never went to school. He went to Sunday School while at Holroyd’s last summer twelvemonth. Besides that he had no religious education. I dont think he knew the responsibility of an oath. I do not think he thought he was going todie. There was no talk of death between us. Cross-examined by Mr. Davies—I never knew of my boy being shooting with young Beales, If my boy saw him passing he would remark that wes young Beales! That was when the boy THE DAILY would be with me, and would seethe carriage goingalong. I asked the boy if he knew the per- son who fired athim, He said he did not, but that it was the bigwest of the two. In speaking of the parties who shot him he used the word ‘‘men sometimes. He also said the parties were in a cart and had a big brown horse. He said they were dressed in grey. MARIA FrirzPaTRICK, mother of the deceased, (sworn)Examined by Attorney-General—The first partof her evidence was alse the same as that given before the Coroner's inquest, and pub- lished yesterday. She first stated that Joseph said it was the bigyest of the two fired the gun. He said they had grey clothes On, I could not say that I would knew Smith and Beales if I saw them before nie, but the children used to be talk- ing to them passing the road. I would know the horse and wagon. I did not see the horse or wagon the day of the murder, as I was away from home. The boy (deceased) was between eixhteer, months and two years, at Mr, Holioyd’s, and Miss Holroyd used to teach him, giving him a lesson every day and on Sunday, ite had no other teaching than this, Cross-examined by Mr. Davies.—I often taught him myself, and talked to him about God and a place of punishment, He seemed to know all about them. He told me it was a big brown horse the parties had who fired athim. As far as I heard him, he said they had a cart and were walking the horse when he saw them first. I heard my son saying he was often with Beales boy down about the shore, When they would pass Joe would shout out theiz names? Dr. JENKINS. (sworn)—Gave evidence the same as hefore Coroner. Dr. Conroy. (sworn)—In addition to his pre- vious evidence, said : “‘On ~ visit on Saturday night, I told Dr. Jenkins in a low tone, when the boy was in a stupor that he was done,” His mother came over to the bed fand I told her in a low tone that he was dying. The tears started in her eyes, but no noise was made, I did not tell the boy he was dying, because he was in such a listless, apathetic state, not caring whether he lived or died, and not reaseas his position. Any answers he made I considered quite rational, but I don’t think he was very particular as to their correctness as he was kind of worried. The Court adiourned atl o'clock to meet again at 2.30 p, m. Summerside Exports. SuMMERSIDE, Oct. 17.
