Seymour and the 240 officers aud men _be- longing to the British fleet, who were left on shore at Scarborough on Satarday morn- ing, wken the squadron put to sea to escape being blown ashore, made an attempt to re- join their vessels that morning. The heavy sea that had been running had gone down, and a long search in small boats was made for the ships; but the fog was so great that it was impossible to find them and the boats returned to the town. When the fleet ran out to sea, the gunboat Speedwell had only one officer on board. Shortly after noon the fog lifted sufliciently to allow of objects being discerned for some distance, and the fleet having returned, the vice-admiral was taken aboard the Camper- down. Here it was found that while slip- ping the cable on Saturday the cable had given way and severely injured thirteen of the crew, their legs and arms and ribs be- ing broken. Three other vessels belonging to the fleet have signalled that fatal ac- cidents occurred on board of them diiing the storm. < Rae > Reasonable Hours. eee himself ‘Reliever in Reasonable ours,” Mr. George Hague sends a letter to ve Tribune advocating the earlicr closing of shops at night. Ihe letter cites the example of a Winnipeg firm of dry goods dealers who have come to the conclusion that night trade does not pay, and hence have resolved to close at seven at night except Saturday. Mr. Hague contends that it is a great mistake of some merchants to go back to the old system of keeping their shops open late in the evenings after the successful five niths of early closing. ‘It is very un- ‘ mreg~ummemes | reasonable,” he says, ‘to expect them to stay in the stores night after night, till nine or ten ‘o'clock, when the business could be done before seven. * * * Judging from appear- ances, they would net get as much profit last night, as would pay for the light. But dis. appointment seemed written on the counten- ances of the clerks at being kept after that heur,” It will be in vain to contend for early closing, however, so long as peuple do ‘their shopping after lamplight. Merchants | will keep open if the customers want them to. \Mr. Hague is on the right track when he winds up by asking the Trades and Labor Council ‘not to do any shopping themselves ‘after 7 p.m., also to request their wives, daughters and sisters not to do any. We also ask the public generally to assist in this ‘just cause by not Sing any shopping after ? ‘7 p.m.” There is a great deal of gaslight, or Men's Over coats. isiviign and patience, wasted all ws ‘the anbepnioes ——(x)——_-——— [Boys Overcoats, Boys’ Overcoats, Boys’ Overcoats.

There has been a decrease in losses from tire in the United States and Oanada for the nine months ended September 30 of $17,708,705 as compared with the first nine months in 1889. The fire losses for the month of September were $6,043,700. In a year of remarkable disasters it is a cause for thankfulness that the destruction of property by fire has been. so. greatly lessened.

Prince Victor is among the candidates for its purchase. A piece of horrible cruelty is reported by a St. Petersburg correspondent from Kowno on tbe right bank of the Niemen. In a forest near that city a band of pro- fessional beggars was apprehended while engaged in cutting offthe leg of a litte girl of six years of age whom they had kid- napped in the neighborhood the same day. The child says she knows they also in- tended to disfigure her face~in order to make her an object of pity when begging. Three members of the band were caught, but Ivan Romis who stole the child has ercaped. The band includes two children without tongues who have presumably been kidnpped.
