Belleville, May 22. ~John Batchelor, a resiclent of Coe Hill, North Hastings, lately a laborer in the employ of the St, Charlee' iron mine, five miles from Coe Hill, disappeared on the 14th inet., apd has not since been heard of. No resson can be assigned for his dis appearance, except that he is subject to mental aberration, caused by any excitement, Searching parties arc scouring the woods in all directions. ---------- Raids On Meat Shops. Boston, ~~ Mass., May 22.~The "Kocher" meat disturbances, which have prevailed here for the past few days, were renewed to-day. Three hun dred Hebrews, men, woman and chil dren, attacked a met store conduct ed by. Isaac Lebman, on Bridgton street, and threw Se and dried fruit at the builoing. he windows were smashed and the stock of meats was ruined, The polivé interferred and ar rested two women and one man who wore the ringleaders. A woman was injurea during the stampede of the crowd. Later, crowds atiacked meat stores in the north end, smashed the windows and spoiled stocks. * Will Not Resume. Tamegue, Pa, May 22.--A march ing column of 200 strikers, this morn ing, came down upon the Smith Moyer washery. Trowhle was saved warch and closing down before the strikers reached the place. The oper: ators promised the marchers not to vesume until the strike ended. Looking For Large Orders. RB. Piler, representing Messrs. J. Eveloigh & Co., trunk and valise manufacturers; of Montreal, was in the city today. He secured a large order from The Lockett shoe sore for trunks and s, to be shipped af the earliest possible date. ------------ We Are Up To The With our tender young beet®, new potatoes, long ritdishes, genuine Ber- muda onions, green cabbage, ete, at Carnovsky's. » Some unknown niiscreant threw a bomb into a crowd of people on Tuesday night at Havana, injuring eleven pefwons. Pieces of iron and nails were found in the wounds of those injured. There is no explanation of the deed. A big crowd was watch: ing the fire works at Moro Castle ti ion came.

Ome week more and the great political campaign uill have . been fought, lost and won." The beginning of the end was seen in the city hall at noon to-day, when the Aendets of the two. inating political parties pominated their ib) ates. Promptly at twelve o'clock J. P. Gildersleeve, retiring officer, ascended the platform and, after reading the writ and pro clamation, called for mominations, Silence réigned supreme in the audi mse an the conservative warriors, headed by chief ranger Ryan, ascend: ed the platiorm: in fact the prelimin: ary portion of the proceedings might be characterized as tame, but later on, when the "big guns" began firing, en thusiasm became worked up and fairly bubbled over," It was not until well on to ofe o'clock that the hall be- came anything like being comfortably filled. The audience kept shifting con- stantly," some coming others going: only a few of the older residents sitting throughout the proceedings. Beated on the platiorm, besides the two candidates, were: Hon. William Harty, Messrs. John McKelvey, R. J. Carson, A. Strachan, J. M. Mowat, R. Meek, J. M. Farrell, W. H. Godwin, Goprge Mills, James Daly, M. Sulli- van, J. B. Carritthers, Allan Chad wick, R. F. Elliott, alderman Graham, W. W. Cook, E. UC. Dean, Maj. Gallo- way, J. B. Cooke, Dr. Ryan, W. PF. Nickle, Capt. Gaskin, James Swift, alderman Walkem, alderman Tait, ald arman Harkness, alderman King, © W. B. Dalton, John Hickey, J. A. Minnes, W. Mundell, alderman Dunlop, H. W. Richardson, D. A. Givens, W. H. Mac: nee, Dr. Smythe, alderman Sears, ald aman Mcleod, and others. Warm applause greeted Hon. Wil liam Harty go he stepped forward to nominate Mr. nse, Ho was iol lowed by John McKelvey, ax second w for Mr. Pensec Dr. Rvan lost ne time in nominating mayor Shaw, Dr. E. H. Smythe sconding the same, In opening his nominating address Mr. Harty said he considered it a great privikge to te allowed to nom mate Mr, Pense. Nr. Pense was the sole and unanimous choice of the re form association. He made this statement Vecause the Daily News, he organ of the conservative party, seemed to be in doubt as to whether or not Mr. Pense was entitled to style himself the candidate of the lib- sral party. To set the News right, he desired to say that in January ast' Mr. Pemse had been unanimously nominated gs the party's candidate for the byeelection and for this gen: eral election. Fn nominating Mr. Pense, he felt surg the liberals had named a winger. Mr. Harty spoke of thé upbuilding of the Whig under Mr. Pemse's control, from 1570 up- wand. He. next referred to My. Pense"s municipal career, first as a membet of the public school board, next as alderman, representing Fron tenac ward, then as mayor, and as chairman of the public. school board, ax chairman of t board of governors of the general hospital, .in fact he was for years the chief centre of influence glfecting all public gffairs of the city, always retaining the con- fidence and good will of the citizens. Mr. Harty referred to the fact that im Japuary last the citizens had done hini the honor of electing him to re- present them in parliament at Otta- wa, as their representative, Conse: sfuansly being in Ottawa attending to the interests of the citizens, he could not very well be here at one and the same time. He nfentioned this fact, he said, because of statements made by active conservative canvassers, who said that he had mo interest in the campaign. He was as much interested in Mr. Pense's campaign as he was in his own; he onght to be able to say for himself how much he was in' terested. He mentioned the fact that he had nin communication with nearly all the members of the Ontario gov- ernment and all were confident of be- ing returned. Such being the case, the citizens ought to keep in mind their best interests when they go to the polls. He recalled Mr. Metcalfo's term of office in Toronto, and pointed out that K did not benefit to the extent of one.dollar during Mr. Motealie"s term of office. H the citi- i to oe eur they had only to send his friend mayor Shaw to Toronto to represent Harty mentioned the fact that during the past few rs the On- i a lot for given Queen's col- A do they want? A changd for the worse 7 16 mst be a mind that ducing. the past pS re, or during the time marking the beginni of these good time, o biberal govern mut has been in Canada. The speak- er veforred to the gallantry of" Cana- cian soldiers, and mentioned the fact that Capi. W. Bruce Carruthers had covered himself with glory and honor, a fuet of which all Kingstonians were prood. He mourned, also, the loss of principal Ciant, a loss the whole country would feel. Taking up the benefits Kingston had derived from the Ontario government, the speaker referred to stabi ment of the dairy school, which the government wholly maintains; it is a source of benefit to the farmers, and what benefits them must benefit the city. The government had also as sated Queen's college and the school of mining; the government was pre- pared to make the school of mines the best inntitation of ite kind in Canada. The consdrvatives say that Ontarie interests would be safe in the hands of Whitney. HH we coula not trust the conservatives in the past, how can we trust then in the futpre? When: in power they failed to stand up for On- tario's rights. If it had not been for Sir, Oliver Mowat and his liberal friends we would not now have new Ontario, that grand heritage, which the conservatives wanted to divide up among themselves. The conservatives say they are fighting . against an army of 6,000 government officials, 1f the conserva- tives get into power by what number will the list of officials be reduced ? We have the duties of the old customs house and post office carried on now with a much smaller stafi than under conservative rule, and the duties are better done. The speaker defied the conservatives to prove that ministers of the Ross governgent pait through legislation. for the benefit of companies in which they were interested. He defied proof, Referring to charges of bribery, Mr. McKelvey referred to the attempt made by the conservatives to buy up members of parliament. As regards corruption the reformers were as children compared with the conserva- tives, Mr. Ross has done all that mortal man could do to further the interests of Ontario and add to the surplus, As regards: the public school sys: tein of Ontario, the gwaker pointed out that it was a model which many other gowmitries had adopted. When school teachers were wanted in South Africa, Canada was egjied upon to supply them. * The speaker could not say a word against the conservative candidate, bat when the public records of the two candidates were compared, it was shown beyond preadventure that Mr. Pense had done more to build up the city than mayor Shaw. He had sacrificed time amd personal comforts in behalf of the city; he even went so far as to build a memorial foun. tain for a conservative statesman; a man who could go around among his friends and raise 1,000 for such a purpose, must indeed be a man of ins fluence. The speaker called upon the audience to support Mr. Pense at the polls, and he was satisfied they would never regret it. ---------- The Conservative Speakers. Dr. Ryan began his address by pro- phesyin the return of his candi- date. He considered it unnecessary to compare the careers of the two can- didates. From a business standpoint, he congidered it a time for a change, He bad had advice from Mr. Whituey"s friends throughout Ontario, and be was just as confident of Mr. Whitney's return as he was that the sup would rige in the heavens the next morning. The speaker bewailed the fact that for thirty long years the re- formers had been in power in Ontario, and for fifteen years, while a. conser vative represented the city, they had not given Kingston as much as a hitching post. How could Mr. Harty ask the citizens of Kingston to return to power a government that had not for fifteen years given the city 'as much as a ring for a hitching post. He did sot think the reformers of Ontario had a monopoly of political brains, but beld that the conservatives had men well capable of forming a cabinet when called to power, Public men should abide hy their statements. Mr. Ross had not done 80; he promised aid to a cold storage system, to the nickle industry, ete., but had failed to do so. The present system of education of Ontario is, he said, woefully mismanaged, and he said he could quote authorities to prove it. At the last meeting of the Ontario education association, there was scarcely an address delivered or ppper read that did not condemn the present Ontario system of education. Mr. Whitney's remedy was to associ- ate with the minister of edubation' a committee consisting of professors of col y collegiate institutes. ete. who would point out reforms, and keep the {monopoly was to award the contract for books to the lowest tenderer, or Jo Jet the government issue them and sell them to i a : to the pupils at the A AAS 5 1H B55 ARE 545005 wot bess for the strong Bight of prin: 'cipal Grant there would Be no college in Kingston to-day; it would have been in Forgan, where Victoria ool lege mow is. The gov is nop entitled thanks @eGny grant 10 the college, but the whole parliament. Whitney would be a strong friend of Queen's. The robbing of ballot box es and the corruption of elections should be enough to condemn the gov. ernment, Government has in its pay a band of organized conspirators, whe puss from cosmty to county deprive ing the citizens of their franchises. In fact it was time for a change. Mr, Smythe arose to second the nomination. . "What about that £1,000, Smythe?" asked a voice, but Mr. Smythe did not condescend to answer. For thirty- two years a refgbm ministry lwen in power, s the speaker. and this was too Ik was hot in the best interests Jl fpountry. experience of Was that when governments | Mong in power they became Wnfules a¥istocratic and corrupt. (presu at. government is to Three distinct charges. They : ; finances. Fin said he had a 0000. The statement o purt was eith- er untrythiul or incapable. A comunis- sion found that the statement was not true; the surplus was only half the sive. The commission was an ua- fair one, because the government sel ected all its members themselves. The actual government debt was over 85, 000,000; Mr. Smythe had the figures, but ditin't have time to show them, he said. This debt was incurred in subsidizing railways. The government said that they could pay that with the trust funds, but they had no right to touch these trust funds. The gbvernment should be their dishonesty. The speaker next charged the govermment with coward- ice. Mr. Ross was pretending to carry the prohibition . banner. When the time came for to carry out his fair promises, Mr. Ross was not there. We all know that when the referendum goes before the people it will get the guietus, and that's all about it. Mr. Smythe, next charged the gov: ernment with corruption in North El gin, North Waterloo and Brockville. if the ballot box stuffers came here on Ma® 20th, we cannot reach such archvillains as they. There should be a change of government. We were once in . Kingston the Stonewall Jackson brigade of Ontario, sajd the speaker in pathetic tones; let us rethrn our candidate and be in line again. Was Heartily Received. Mr. Pense received a splendid oration when he arost to speak. It was a minute at least before he could speak. He then returned thanks to the mover and seconder. In his address Mr, Pense gnswer- ed, and effectively answered--all the charges made by the previous speak: ers. He made point after point, gnd was warmly applauded. {e referred to the good feeling existing between the candidates, and hoped that it would always continue. The reform party was solidly behind him, and he was confident of victory. Mr. Shaw was well received when he arose. ° He read his address, and referred to the timeworn charges of corruption and hallot ox stuffing. When Mr. Harty asked him how many mip concessions his party voted for, ¢. Shaw said he did not know. Dr. Ryan prompted him, and he after: wards suid, " one." Mr. Harty cor- rected him, and said the tories voted for four. There were ten minutes left for Mr. Pense to reply, but he only used a couple of thera, He thanked all those who had "helped him at the registra tion, which he said the liberals were well pleased with. He proposed a vote of thanks to the returning officer and chairman, which Mr, Shaw seconded. When it was carried, Mr. Pense called for cheers for Kingston, which were heartily given. Cheers for both can didates were also given. The meeting was an interesting and pleasant one. The best of good feel ing ~ prevailed throughout and there were no interruptions. Balance of report to-morrow, -- Are No Acclamations. The Whig, the only paper in the city taking the Canadian press ser vice, has no report of the return hy acclamation of Dr. Barr, conserva tive, for Dufferin. The only change from the regular list of candidates is the absence of Mr. Caljuboun's nom: imation in East Hamilton. INCIDENTS OF THX DAY.
