Norwicu, Conn, Oct. 20. The three mile sculling race between Wallace Ross, of St. John, and James H. Riley, of Saratoga, New York, was rowed on the Thames River this afternoon’ in the presence of thousands of interested specta- tors. It was won by Riley, who- led Ross two lengths at the finish. Great excite- ment prevailed. The stakes are said to have been $500 aside and $209 purse ad- ded. _ Ross had a little advantage at the start, but owing to his lack of knowledge of the course, lost it by steering too far in shore. While he was getting back to the course, Riley passed him and kept increas- ing his lead to the stake boats, which he turned four or five lengths ahead of Ross. Ross decreased this lead but was unable to come up to Riley, who passed the finishing line nearly two boat lengths ahead. Time 23 m. 26} s. for Riley ; 23 m. 30 s. for Ross. VAN r NEWS BY TELEGRAPY. A TERRIBLE DEED. Miron, Wis., Oct. 19. This morning, Henry Christianson, whe boarded with Edward Fogarty, a tin ped- ler, confessed to the following ; ‘‘ Fogarty came home at 10 o’clock last night. We had been drinking and Fogarty insulted me and drew a revolver and threatened to shoot me. I knoked him down, took away the revolver and went out doors. Fogarty followed me. I[ picked up an axe and struck him two blows, killing him instantly. I then carried him te aclorer stack, set it on fire and came back to the house.” The crime was discovered this morning, by the finding of the body under the clover stack, half consumed. A trail of blood followed which led to Fogarty’s house, whereupon Christianson and Mrs. Fogarty were arrest- ed. The former confessed his guilt but claimed the woman had nothing to do with the affair. No particular paina were taken to conceal the crime except to dig up the ground in front of the door where the body had lain semetime, the burning of the wooden leg of the victim in the steve and an attempt to burn the body. CANADIAN. Monrnear, Oct. 20. In the Consolidated Bauk case at 2.10 p-m., to-day, the couri resumed, when the jury returned a verdict of ‘‘ Guilty” in the case against Sir Francis Hincks, contrary to expectation, as it was thought they would at least be divided. Sir Francis Hincks was allowed te go on bail, and will be summened by the court for sentence. Sir Francis gazed steadily at the jury after their entrance into the box and after the verdict was returned. The charge against Sir Francis was that he made false returns to the Government. New York, Oct. 20. Forty wrecked seamen belonging to ten foreign vessels lost in a norther in the Galf of Mexico in September, before reported, arrived here on the steamer Vera Cruz yes- terday, and will be cared for by the differ- ent Consulates. The fire on the steamship ‘‘ Mosel,’ on the passage from Europe, was found ‘to have originated in the spontaneous combus- tion of heavy sewing silk known as Cordon nett.

The cause of the explosion of the maga- zine of Bala-Hissar is unknown. The first explosion occurred at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon. The second occured at 4 p. m., and further explosions are apprehended. The magazine, it is believed contained 200,- 000 shot and shell, a large number of Snider rifles and six tons of powder. One man of of the 66th regiment, 21 Ghoorkas, six cainp follewers and many Afghans were killed. Lonpon, Oct. 20. The 4 Imes’ editorial says :—‘‘It is quite possible that the abdication of the Ameer may ultimately further increase the task imposed on usin the punishment of Cabul and the reduction of Afghanistan to a set- tied Government. Simca, Oct. 20. Aldication is probably the wisest course for Yakoob Khan. We may enthrone a man fit for the position, and on whose friendship we can rely, . The disturbances on the Assam frontier and the murder ofthe British Deputy Com- missioner by Nuzema Hagas, on the 4th, need cause no anxiety, as the Naga hill tribes are marauders, whom the presence of | the British troops will speedily reduce.

(i) ik use fai / 7 ities ) From a recent article in the London Times, we infer that the Canadian Govern- ment has beeu successinl in its negotiations with English capitalists, for the construc- tion of the Pacific Railway. The English Company is to advance money for building the road, and receive ‘‘lands as security,and to reimburse them for their outlay.” One of the Commissioners, in whom the land is to be vested for this purpose, iste be ap- pointed by the British Government, as a guarantee that the interests of English in- vestors will not be neglected. The scheme is favorably reviewed by the Times, and there is every reason to suppose that inves- tors will not be found wanting. The Land Company is not actually floated, but its sue- cess when it is can hardly be doubted. The idea of an Imperial guarantee had to be abandoned ; and it seems that the request that it should be granted was never formally thade. From the first, we expressed the opinion that this part of the ministerial plan must fail. But in carrying ont the rest of the plan this part of it ceases to be of essential importance. From present ap- pearances, we are justified in concluding that the construction of this railway is aa- sured without imposing ruinous burthens upon the country. This is the first time, since the inception of this vast undertaking, that this could be said. — ————9@ Oe Another Banquet to Sir John A. McDonald. An Ottawa despatch says: An enthusias- tic meeting of Conservatives was held at the Russell House to make the primary ar- rangements for a grand banquet to be tendered Sir John A. McDonald by the Conservatives of Ottawa. A letter was read from Sir John, accejting the invita- tion sent to him by a previous méeting, t» be present at the banquet. It was de- cided to-have a general meeting on the 23rd inst., when the date of the banquet will be narsed, and all final arrangements made. = —?-—eooe- >. -— — The Democratic defeat in Ohio is looked upon by the leading independent news- papers of the United btates as likely to be a (cath blow to Greenbackism. In Ohiu more than in almest any ether State the Democrats were tainted with the inflation heresy, and their ticket was made up with a view to conciliate’ the Greenbackers. The result has been an ‘overwhelming defeat. This defeat gives the Senatorship to the Republicans and destroys Mr. Thurman’s prospects as a Presidential candidate. The ‘‘Monetary Times” remarks: *‘The Maritime Provinces, it is surprising to find, ¢ontinne te contribute very little to our ex- perts of dairy products. The quantity shipped from New Brunswick and Prince dward Island in 1878 was mere!y nominal. ova Sectia did a little better. Its ex- rts were 688,820 lbs. of butter, and 13,- Ibs. of cheese, which were chiefly sent to Newfoundland and the West Indies. entree srenmnananeetnaindaianeaeienaetarneerereememneenneammnenimmanen amma eae AS SRNR oe
