NEW NOV ELS Y MISCHIEL 0F MONICA PRINCESS .MAZARO FF ANOTHER. MAN’S Bride Editorlal Notes. A BILL was introduced into the. United States House of Representatives on Friday to amend the McKinley tarifi law so as to reduce the duty on barley from 30 to 10 cents a bushel. ON Tuesday last Mr. J. 0. Patterson the new Secretary of State, was elected in West Huron by a majority of 22 over his opponent Mr. M. C. Cameron. This is another gain for the Govern- ment. The contest was the “hottest” which has taken place for many years. IT is understood that Dr. Landry and Hon. Mr. Dobson have been in- vited to move and second respectively the address in the benate in reply to the speech from the throne, the discus- sion on which will be commenced probably on Monday next. THE elections on Saturday last re- sulted in the return of Mr. W. B. Northrup, the conservative candidate, in East Hastings, by a majority of 415, and in South Ontario in the return of Mr. Wm. Smith, the conservative can- didate by a maiority of 157. These are two gains for the Government. THE news that Mr. John Dobson of this town has been appointed Senator for this District, was received with un- usual satisfaction on Monday last. and Che ”Watchman. we might say that there is no manin the County deserves the, honor better, both in a. party point of view and other- wise. He has been an untirmg sup- porter of the Conservative government for over thirty years, and few men have made greater sacrifices than he to aid his party in strengthening the govern- ment which he believed to be the best for the interests of the country. We congratulate the Hon. John Dobscn on his appointment. ACCORDING to the annual report of the Winnipeg Grain and Produce Ex- change the estimate placed upon the wheat yield of the province for the past year is 21,000,000 bushels. This is nearly double the crop of the preceding year, which, up to that time, was the largest on record. The grain storage THURSDAY, FEB. 25, 1892. capacity west of Lake Superior, on or adjacent to lines of rail, is now 10,366,- 800 bushels, of which more than nine millions were provided by the C. P. R. There are in the province 42 flour mills, with a. total daily capacity of 7 ,455 barrels, and three oatmeal mills, which jointly can turn out 300 barrels daily. Manitoba is evidently making substan- tial progress. SANTA BARBARA SOME of the Western cities have petitioned the Legislature to repeal the bonus clauses of the Municipal Act, and doubtless the sukject will come up for ‘ discussion this session. The objections raised against the present system are that it brings municipalities into com- petition with each other, and that by removing the burden of taxation from those who are best able to pay, it tends to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The argument that the system encourages trade is met by the petition- BOOKSTORE. By Walford. By Wiliiams. By Reichard. By Ouida. ers with the statement that the factories would be required, whether they were bonused.or not. If any considerable portion of the Legislature support the propcsition, an interesting debate may be expected. THE following resolution was passed by the Provincial Board of Health at its late meeting in Toronto:â€"â€"â€"As it “is believed from information gained in European countries and various States of the Union that tuberculosis exists to a. considerable extent in the herds of cattle, but especially in those of dairy cattle supplying milk for consumption to the cities and towns in Ontario, and beneving that the contagious nature of this disease is now generally accepted, this board would draw the attention of the Minister of Agriculture to the desirabilitv of instituting through his deoartmentthe beginning of a systematic enqulry into the pre- valence of the disease amongst cattle in Ontario, and that such facilities as may be deemed expedient be supplied for carrying on the work.” AT 3. meeting of the Provincnal Beard of Health held last week in Toronto, the question of waterworks and sewerage was discussed, and several samples of water from different parts of the Pro. Vince were analysed, among them one from Lindsay, which the Board refused to recommend. The following is the report of the committee to which the sewerage and water supplies were sub mitted :â€" ‘At the afternoon session the Committee on Sewerage and Water Supplies submitted a report, in which they strongly urged that artesian wells be sought before river water. It was stated that the plans for the water works at Parry Sound had not been submitted for aproval to the Pro- vincial Board until after the by-law sanc- tioning the work was passed. The same1 was said of North Bay. The committee refused to recommend the water for the town of Lindsay. the analysis showing it to be a long way from the standard re- quired. The water supply at Chatham, which is obtained from artesian wells, was considered highly satisfactory, both in quality and quantity. From one well, a supply of 500,000 gallons per day is got. :Mr. Freeman, the agent of "the company who have secured the franchise of the Lindsay water works, was present and addressed the board. He contended that as only a small quantity of the water would be used for drinking purposes, the supply from the Scugog river, from which source they intend taking the water, was quite good enough. In spite of Mr. F reeman’s cheerful assertions, the board adopted the report of the committee. thus disapproving of the proposed supply of water for Lindsay.” ’ The Tragic Death of Capt. and Mrs. Boyd of the Loodiana. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.â€"The sailing vessel Loodiana of Nova Scotia left the port of hew York with a cargo of petrol- eum for London two months ago. She was owned in Windsor, Nova Scotia, and was of 1874 tons register. After her de- parture from this point December 21 nothing was heard of the ship until three weeks ago. The Egyptian Monarch ar- rived a: Quarantine early yesterday morning and reached her dock at Wilson’s Stores, Brooklyn, in the afternoon. Second Officer Jordan. who was on the bridge on the night of Jan. 16, tells this ‘ story 'of the burning of the Loodiana : “I was on the lodkuut. The wind was‘ blowing furiously and the waves seemed mountains high above us. Suddenly away over on the port how I saw a glare in the heavy sky. At first I thought in was only a sailing vessel showing a. flare light to scare off passing vessels. Then I saw a sudden flash and what seemed to be an explosion lighting up the horizon for miles around. Seizing a glass I found that; a. sailing ship was on fire. I sent for Capt Irvin, who came on deck immediate- ly. He gave orders to taKe in all sail and the Egyptian Monarch was headed in ‘ the direction of the light. “At 1.30 a.in. we rounded to near the burning vessel. It was the Loodiana. and she was ablaze almost from stem to stern. The flames had nearly reached the bOWs. In the bright glare I saw two figures sitting astride the jibboom. The glass showed them to be a man and woman, whom we .auhdg‘.p- afterwards learned were the captain of ‘ Luodiana and his wife. “There was no j hope of saving the vessel, even if any one had thought of doing so. The flames had run up the masts and rigging, and had obtained such a hold that nothing could .stop them until the ship was burned to l the waters edge Big patches of burning oil floated around and about us. We were almost afraid that some of the blaz- ing oil would be tossed aboard our own ship, for the storm had not abated. The waves. gleaming with the golden reflec- tion from the flames, drove the helpless vessel away from us. The ridges of the mountainous billows were tinged with a lurid glow. As we cut through them we seemed to be sailing in a sea of fire. which leaped up angrily around us. We got as near to the Loodiana as possible. The two survivors saw us. That agonizing cry for help which escaped :them at that moment chilled the blood in my veins. The man sstride the boom was thick and ' heavy set. He clung to a rope with one hand, clasping with the other the waist of a frail-looking woman. Man and wife, as ' was afterwards learned, they stayed THE WATCHMAN. LINDSAY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1892. together until death. We shouted to the ' cuuple tn be _01 good cheer. Their‘ answer was a Plteous cry for help where no help c0111d coine, as it proved. The burning ship was lying with its head to the wind. The flames Were creeping slowly towards the boom. Occasionally the ship’s stern Was tossed high in the air m1 the wave, the flames were blown along the bows until it) seemed as if the ‘clothes of the COuple were scorched by w the intense heat. “ rEhe stays supporting the jibboom had 3 been burned-away. A few minutes after- ‘ wards the shlp swung around. The flames leaped towards the keel of the howsprit. An awful cry of agony went up from those poor tortured 01168. Down they fell into the fire-lit waves. We saw them for one short moment. The man was holding on to the stump of a. spur and the woman was clinging to him. A heavy wave lifted them up and dashed them against the side of the burning vessel. We never-saw them again. We steamed around the blazing bulk in the hope of seeing a boat; contain- “u: ll ... - ing the crew. Then we steamed to leeward for 12 miles, but no sign of boat or raft could be discovered. We laid around as long as possible, but no boat could live in such a sea as was running at that time. When we reached Grswesend the scratch crew was immediately discharged. Capt. Irvin went to the London agents of the owners of the Loodiina, which was then reported to be missing. The burning ‘ vessel was of American build and the des- cription of our captain seemed to leave no doubt that it was the Loodiana which we l had seen. He learned that the captain had his wife on board. We saw the vessel in lat. 48, lon. 42, about 1200 miles west southwest of Queenstown.” The Loodiana was built in Nova Scocia and had carried cargoes of petroleum for some years. She was insured at Windsor, N .S., for $40,000. Captain Boyd was in command. What a Montreal Gentleman Has to Say , on Life in Algiers. ‘ A Montreal gentleman, writing from ‘ Algiers, February 1, says: “I have been here over three months, the most :lelight- T ful I ever passed. The average tempera- ture for the past month has been 52% ° , the month previous 62 ° . This is the cold month. I am sitting with my window open, enjoying the bright, but sunshine. The country looks like summer. Flowers, flowering trees, shrubs and vines are all in full blossom. The lemon trees are full of fruit, while tropical palms, cacti and a great variety of beautiful plants present a pretty sight. Then there are hedges six feet high of gerai.ium, heliotrope and other flowers in full bloom. I think this must have been the site of the original Garden of Eden, but there are no apples. Green pease and new potatoes, as well as other vegetables, are growing in the gardens, and are on the market every day. ' The environs of Algiers are picturesque. with fine drives and fine views of the Mediterranean. Algiers rises from the sea, an African Venice. is about one mile in front, rising gradually to six or seven3 hundred feet. The front of the city is built in the French style, the rear and high up the hill being the Arab quarter. On one :side the city spreads out into the country and is lost in the forests ; on the other is the rocky coast of St. Eugene, a boulevard being cut out of the hill running for miles to the west, with here and there beautiful villas. and its rocky shores worn into fantastic shapes by the storms of the sea. Balls, concerts and parties take place every week, at which the English are well represented. Large markets or fairs are held weekly in the country places in 1 the vicinity. The attendance ranges from two to eight thousand, and all the pro- ducts of the country are offered for sale. The country is governed by a Sovereign , Council, six members to the Chamber of , Deputies in Paris and three Senators. Legislation is not up to the wants of the country." The Duty on Barley. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.â€"Mr. Hatch. who has been pressing the resolution to investigate the effect of the McKinley bill upon the agricultural interests of the country, says he regards the adoption of the resolution as the first shot fired against ‘ the McKinley bill, and believes that it will have its effect. He thinks that an investigation will show that that. law has been detrimental to the agricultural in- terests, and that the Committee on Agri- culture will find no difliculty in obtaining voluntary witness to testify as to the ex- isting facts. He says the committee will take up the matter as soon as it is through with the Anti-Option bill, and will make a comprehensive and exhaustive ‘ report on the subject that will cover every phase of the tariff question as it efi'ects agriculture. For the information neces- entity to make this report the committee will draw upon the public reports, the reports of agriculture oganizations, and will receive information from local and State statisticians and hear personal state- ments and opinions of the individual members of the committee. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.â€"Mr. Fitch ‘ introduced a bill on Friday to amend the McKinley tariff law so as to reduce the duty on barley from thirty cents to ten cents per bushel of forty-eight pounds. The bill was introduced after aconference with the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committe, who do not wish to go into the whole subject embraced in a prior bill introduced by Mr. Fitch, which made a number of changes in the existing law. ' Mr. Mercier has taken advantage of Judge :Iette’s repprb if) his faVOur to issue a minifesto to the electors. In this he promises, if returned to ower, to com- pase his new Ministry of t 0 best men, so as to reassure public opinion, to firmly msintain the financial credit of the province, and. to satisfy honest men of all parties, races, and religious beliefs. FROM WASHINGTON. At an adjourned meeting of theTown Council, the following business was transacted :â€" On motion of Mr. Connolly, second- ed by Mr. Kylie, the time for the col- lection of taxes was extended to the 16th March. On motion of Mr. Winters, seconded by Mr. Lack, that by-law No. 645, be read a third time and passed. It was moved in amendment by Mr. Crandell, seconded by Mr. Connolly, that the by-law be amended by substi- tuiing the name of Hugh O’Leary for that of John Dubson as Railway Dir- ector for the town of Lindsay. On motion of Mr. Winters, seconded by Mr. Connolly, the treasurer was authorized to pay petty accounts on the order of the mayor and chmrman of the finance committee. CHICAGO, February 20.â€"-Carefu1 inves- tigations made by traffic managers of the Western roads show that about 30 per cent. of last fall’s crop has now left the farms and elevators of the West. and has been carried to Eastern and foreign markets. The moving of this proportion of the crops has kept the roads interested in the traffic as busy as they could be for five months, and the Eastern roads have been in a state of blockade for the greater part of the time. The blockade has been raised recently. but a number of the roads say that afi'airs can hardly be said to have resumed their ordinary state, because if the roads forced all the grain that they could get on the Eastern the blockade would become Worse than ever. Eastern l roads have considerably more cars at their command now than when this traflic began, and it is probable that they Willbe able to keep things moving until the open- ing of navigation, when a sufficient outlet will be afforded for all the grain that can be sent. With 70 per cent. of last year’s crop still in the West, the traffic manag- ers say there will be no possibility of light business by all rail or railroads and lake lines until the next crops are ready to be moved. Los ANGELES, Ca]., Feb. 19.â€"One of the greatest mysteries of this city has been that of the tongueless man, which has just been solved. Last November a priestly-looking man hired a room at the lodging-house at the corner of Fifth and Broadway. One morning he was found in his room, blood issuing from his mouth, and a bloody mum in his hand. On examination it was found that he had cut out his tongue with the razor. Bloody tracks to the door out in the hall and the bath-room indicated that he had been ‘ there. Search showed that he had thrown his tongue down a drain pipe. After his wound healed he disappeared. He was thought to have been a Catholic priest. It i now turns out that his name is George Wilson. He goes garbed as a priest, but he is a professional gambler. His family is wealthy, and live in New York. His father has just died and left an‘estate of $150,000, $50,000 of which was left to him. The estate cannot be settled up until George has been found, and detectives from New York are now in the city look- ing for him. They state that George has been the black sheep of the family. This statement suggests that the man’s act of cutting,r out his tongue was prompted by remorse. Lox Dox, Feb. 20.â€"Snowstcrmsprevailed last: night; throughgut the United Kingdom.
