It has appointed Mr. John Dickenson to act as arbitrator to settle the proportion of court-house, registry emce, and ad- ml‘i'ilstration of Justice expenses to be paid by the two municipalities. There is a prospect that there will be another mayoralty -andidate in the field before long. Aid. Reid said to~ day that if Mr. George E. Tuckett re- mains in the field he will certainly be a candidate. He would like to see a. straight fight between Aldermen Col- quhoun and Brown. At a meeting of the local Royal Tem- plars of Temperance yesterday refer- ence was made to the newspaper conu- troversy between Mr. David Mills and the Rev. Dr. Mackay. It was held by the speakers that Mr. Mills' letters in- dicated that the Liberal party was un- willing to make prohibition an issue in its platform, and that its members are not disposed to force prohibition on the country. Robert Lester, an alleged incendiary. was this evening arrested by the local detectives. On September 5th Lester registered at the St. Nicholas hotel, and represented that he was an agent selling a. publication called Home and Abroad. Two days later he hired a room at 351-2 King William street from Mr. George B. Smyth, and sent there a parcel of magazines, which came by express. It is alleged that Le-sttr told a confident that he in- tcrded to insure the books and set fire to them and the building. The po- lice were notified, and decided to place the man under surveillance.

Winnipeg, Sept. 23.â€"-(Special.)â€"Nor- man Chittick. of W'alkerton, Ont.. aged 23. fell 80 feet from an elevator this mcrnlng, and was instantly killed. He and Fred. Armstrong were working to- gether when the accident happened. Both were standing on a scaffold at the time. The scaffold gave way, and both fell. Armstrong grabbed on to the ledge eight feet below. while Chlttick fell to the ground. where his brains were dashed out. Murray Laidlaw, of Midland, Ont. ' who was hurt in the recent powder explosion here. died at the General hos- pital yesterday. A remarkable coin- cidence is noticeable in the fact that Laidlaw and Chittick came here to- gether from Ontario. It is reported at Edmonton tha‘ a. lo-ycar-old girl has been kidnapped at Fcrt Saskatchewan. CRYSLER'S FARM. Cornwall, Sept. 23.â€"(Speoial.)â€"A great deal of interest is being evinced throughout the united counties in the unveiling of the monument erected on the battlefield of Crysler's farm to , commemorate the brilliant victory won at that point on Nov. 11. 1813, by a small British and Canadian force un- der Col.

German. president of the Dominion Y. W. C. A.. Toronto, visited a number of citizens soliciting subscriptions on behalf of the associa- tion. Her list purported to be headed by W. J. Ferguson, who is well known, and on the strength of his name others were induced to subscribe. It after- wards transpired that Mr. Ferguson‘s name had been forged, and suspicion was aroused. The fact of having ordered a bottle of whiskey sent to her room at the Windsor hotel, where she was registered under the name of E. “1 Graham. Toronto. furnished an additional cause for suspicion. The police were notified. and she was ar- rested on the eve of leaving for Lon- don. for which place she had pur- chased a ticket. On being taken to DOlice headquarters she acknowledged her misconduct. and was remanded to gaol pending a formal hearing. The prisoner volunteered information as to having similarly worked other towns, and her intention of doing London. She is about 25 years of age. rather road looking. and very lady~like. To- day she was reported as too ill to be arraigned. \. A Bride and a Fortune. San Jose. Cal.

Sept. 23.â€"(Special.)â€"At the County Judge‘s Criminal Court this morning Leslie Dixon, of Leith, aged 74, was brought up for trial, charged with the burning of a house occupied by Mrs. Gilchrist. The evidence show- ed the old man to be of a. decidedly religious turn, except when, as he oc- casionally did, he took liquor. He grew despcndent over the failure of his wife to accompany him to Owen Sound to live, and on the 7th inst. set his stable on fire, and Mrs. Gilchrist‘s house. some thirty feet away, caught there- from. and was destroyed. Mr. H. G.

Montreal, Sept. 23.â€"(Special.)â€"In the Court of Queen’s Bench this morn- ing Mr. J. L. Archambault, Q.C., Crown prosecutor. applied to Judge Wurtee that he order the detention of Miss Rose Alma Sauve. in connection with the Dcmers murder trial. The Judge ordered that Miss Sauve be de- tained as a. witness, and she be placed in a. separate room and not allowed to confer with other witnesses. Miss Sauve was at once taken to the High Constable's office in charge of an of- ficer and at noon a. lunch was taken to her there. The interest in the case is increasing, as shown by the num- bers who sought admission to the court-room this morning. This was the thirteenth day of the trial. and the number of women in attendance was as large as ever. The circulation of certain rumours on Saturday and yes- terday served to increase the inter- est. It had been stated that a confes- sion had been made. There has been no confession as far as the Crown counsel are aware. and consequently there has been no arrest. and the au- thorities say none is at presentmon- wmplatc-d. These rumours originat- ed in connection with the evidence concerning the blue dress which the deceased is said to have worn on the day of her death. and which Wm: found in the bedroom. None of the witnesses examined so far have been able to identify the dress. In fact, 11.0 majority of them swear positively tl: it the dress produced in court is not thzt ot‘ the deceased. This naturally \v scum-what puzzling to the authorities. It was all the more so as it was Claim- cd that Mrs. Domcrs was a stout wu- lnun. and the waist of this dress would nnlv fit a little woman. strange coincidence the size or waist and dimensions of this are chtctly those of the young wu- mun referred to. This gave rise it rumours of the arrest. It has sinsn Saturday. however. been ascertainul boyohd doubt that the dress produced did belong to Mrs. Demers. Miss Demon‘s. sister of, the prisoner, stains that she made this dress herself. and liigil Constable Bissonnette this mom- it): found some cuttings of the same material as this dress among scraps :lrmmli the house. The Court of Appeal rendered Jildg- mcnt this morning in the interestincv case of Lighthall and Pearson. This will he remembered as an action which Chas. \V. Pearson claimed from Mr. Geo. R. Lighthall personally tho till‘fcl‘v‘ulce bcthen the amount actual- ly reccived and the amount guaranteed by a contract for accommodation to ll i'(':.:: be provided for visitors to the Chris- - tinn Endeavour Convention of 1893. The contract was made in the name of the Montreal Christian Endeavour l’nion, and Pearson first took out his: action against that body. found out. however, Havinz that there was no such incorporated body, but that? Mr. Lightlmll was the agent of llluI Exocutivc Committee of the Montreal Christian Endeavour Union. duly in- corporated. the plaintiff took out his action against Mr. Lighthall personal- ly. and obtained Judgment against hint for $388. Tho Court of Appeal confirmed that judgment. holding that the claim was a bond-tide one. and n1- " though. it was a hardship for of his principals was properly given when drafting the contract. Mr. D. McNicoll. general passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific railway. who has just returned from a trip toi the Pacific coast. in an interview to-1 day expressed the opinion that the splendid crops would have a good ef- fect upon immigration. Already en- quiries have been made about the country, he said. and the et‘fccts can only be decidedly beneficial. ‘ I am." he said. “dealing more with the pas- sel.;:;r than the freight end of the question, but. of course. I was inter- ested in the extent and quality of the crop. In one instance where a. man wheat averaged ili‘ty bushels to the acre. This. of course, was exceptional, still. even at the present price of wheat. the yield has been so phenomenal that the farmers will be paid.” Mr. McNicoll added :â€"“ We sent up about five ousand people to the North-West during the past two months for the purpose of gathering in the harvest. Those. it is to be re- membered, were chiefly farmers' sons... who either went up to see the coun- try for themselves or to help relatives out with their crop. the lightness of the crop in Ontario enabling many to get away for this purpose. Now. I find that :1 good many of these peeple are not coming back at all. but in- tend to take up land and stay there. while those who are returning have nothing but good words for the coun- try. This must have a good effect." Mr. and Mrs. Shortis had an inter- view with their son at the Montreal gaol this morning.
