Charged With Neglect of Duty-- Defendants Claim Books Were Properly = Audited--The Sum Mentioned is $250,000. Monireal, July 29.-The liquidators of the Western Loan & Trust Co. have entered action against the directors of the defunct concern to PPover » sum of $250,000, the accusation against the directors being neglect of duty. The action is taken under the guthori- sation of Judge Doherty. The com- pany went into liquidation sone months ago, after the aeath of Bar clay Stephens, the general manager. The affairs of the company were {ound to be in a badly tangled condition. It waw said at the time that some action might be taken against the di rectors for allowing the affairs of the company to he mismanaged, resulting in losses. The action 1s against W H. Comstock of Brockville, R. W Knight of Wooastock, the heirs of the late Hon. A. W. Ogilvie, W. Strachan, ex-Navor Prefontaine, and Jd.

Paris, July 29.--A sensational inci dent. marked the celebration of the national fete at Tourcoing. Une of th attractions of the day was the ascent of a balloon, the Formidable. The neronaut, M. Palmyr du Hem, ex- ecuted gymnastic feats on a trapeze suspended from the balloon, and his little son Louis, aged eleven and a hall years, was in the car. For some unexplained reason, when the balloon had reached a height of about 400 yards it suddenly com- menced to descend, and finally drop- ped on the roof of a house. The trapeze was severed from the envelope by the concussion, and M. du Hem was left on the roof, while the bal loon, lightened of his weight, rose rapidly into the air, taking the child with it. When the balloon disappeared from sight it was travelling swiftly in an easterly direction at a height of 3,000 feet. The father and mother passed a night of anguish. This morning, however, their anxiety was dispelled by the report of a telegram from Belgium stating that after crossing the frontier the balloon came down in the province of Hninault, and that the child was safe and sound. SHOOTS FIVE AND ESCAPES. Ex-Convict on a Rampage Porterville, Cal. Fresno, Cal, July 20.---At Porter ville, James McKinney, an ex-convict, shot five men and escaped into the country in a stolen rig. McKinney first shot out the lights of 4 saloon, and then, in trying to shoot the cards out of the hands of a player, wounded the latter slightly. He then went to a livery stable gnd, at the point of a revolver, secured a rig. As he was driving off a constable, a deputy and several citizens tried to arrest him. He opened fire, wounding four of the party, and escaped. Two years ago McKinney killed a man av Bakersfield, but was exonera ted. William Lynn, whose abdomen and legs were filled with buckshot, suc cumbed to his wounds. McKinney also filled the right arm of George Barrows, a printer, with shot, and also sent a bullet into the mouth of Deputy Marshal Willis, an other into the arm of Deputy Con stable Tompkins, and 5 load of shot into the arm of W. D. West. McKin- ney is headea for Fresno county and it is believed he will make for mountains. He has a shotgun and a revolver, and he said before leaving that "Tracy would not be in it" with him. ALARM FOR BERNHARDT. Talks of Death and Friends Fear Suicide. Paris, July 29.--Sarah Bernhardt has lately bepn giving concern to her irtimate friends on account of her growing melancholia since her return from London. She is now at her country place, Belle Isle, on the north coast, and shows a morbid disposi tion for solitary brooding. '1 am an old, played-out woman; miy days are over," she says. "It would be merci- jul if death would spare me the hit- terness of conscious decrepitude." Her attendants never relax their wi 'oh, lest she should attempt suicide in a fit of despondency. Her son Maurice and an eminent Paris physician have been summoned. A Swindler's Escape. Belleville, July 29.--Some days ago a Deseronto grocery keeper was vie timived by a mean who passed upon him a $1 bill which had been cleverly raised to $10. On Saturday last the same fellow tried the same game in Shannonville, but the woman in this instance, Mrs. Kerr, was to sharp for him. Saying she would get the bill changed, she started for the door, when the swindler ran. The neighbors pursed him, but he took to the woods and escaped. ---------- Adam Purslow's Death. , died suddenly last came to Canada from En in 1857, He was the Grow ent of Victoria university to take the degree of LID.

Torontd, July 29.-<The vonvention of the Ontario Alliance, for the sup pression of the liquor trafic, called to take steps to organise for the referen- dam campaign apd the vote of De- cember 4th, is in session at Associa tion Hall and is composed of over 600 of the most prominent temperance people of the province, presided over by Rev. Dr. W. A. Mackay, Wood stock. The sicepresidents of the convention are Rev. Dr. Carman, G. '. Marter, R. J. Fleming and Mrs May Thornley, and the convenors of cominittees werg chosen as follows : Campaign orgamzer, Rev. De. J. 8. Ross; electoral action, George Wrig- ley; resolutions, C. G. Fraser; finance, Ww. H. Orr. The convention spent the morning in organization, which was not comple ted and the heavy work will come on with the reports of the committees in the afternoon. The feeling among the delegates is that the coming fight will be one to a finish and the liquor interests are watching keenly the efforts of the temperance people to form an efficient organization to bring out the vote. The report of the provincial execu- tive Was presented by J. J. Maclaren, K.C.. and detailed the story of the nesotiations with the government re specting the change of the date of the referendum. The committee ex- pressed approval of the work of Messts. J. L. Nicholls and W. W. Puchanan in the recent provin- cial campaign, and submitted re commendations that a resolution be adopted calling upon the friends of temperance throughout the province to unite in earnest effort to win the decisive victory on December 4th; that the president of the pro- hibition association in each countv, or electoral district, be made a vice president of the Ontario branch of the Dominion Alliance, thus giving each county representation upon the exe. cutive; that the executive be instruct ed to take immediate steps to secure a live working organization in each electoral district; that the referendum campaign be opened on the first Sun- day of September, that all churches and temperance societies be requested to inaugurate an active movement to secure signatures from members of churches, Sunday-schools and young people's societies to the following pledge : "1 promise to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage and to discountenance the use of such by others." Dr. Maclaren added that many Me- thodist ministers, going to Winnipeg for' the general conference, might de- sire to open the campaign on the last Sunday of August. Rev. Dr. Carman made "a vigorous speech in moving that the executive's report be referred to the committee on resolutions. There was no room for diversity of policy at the present time. They must all regard each other as brethren, fellow soldiers, united in the great enterprise of rolling up a majority vote, It was within reach. He had no despair of that if they were true. There were dear men and mighty men among them who said that the moral tone of the country was not up to prohibition; to these men he said, "If the moral tone is not what it ought to be, by all the consideration of religion, by all the consideration of the country, by all the considerations that move honest men, leap into the conflict and come to our assistance. We are going, by the grace of God, to lift the moral tone, to improve the moral sentiment." In closing the doctor hoped to soe leading man of the political parties on their platform. He wanted to see that the conscience was mightier than the cancus. Senator Vidal, in his address said Hon. George W. Ross, in introducing | gife bill, had stated that Senator Vi- I dal had advocated that procedure. He did pot wish to eriticise that «tate- ment strongly, but it was a fearful mistake. Nothing in Hansard, during the Scott act debates or at any oth- er time countenanced it. ------ DR. WILSON SAVED. en - The Ohio Physician Will Not be Executed. Washington, July 20 --The life of Dr. Russell Wilson, of Ohio, captured with a revolutionist party in Nicara gua, has been saved through the re presentations of Minister Corea of that country. A cablegram was re ceived at the state department yester- day from Chester Donaldson, Unitea States consul at Managua, Nicaragua, dated the 26th instant, as follows : "Af 5 courtesy to the United States and sympathy for the mother the president will commute Russell Wil son's death sentence." Wilson was one of several Ameri cans who joined a filibustering expedi tion which landed at Monkey Point, near Bluefields, early in July. Most of the party were captured or killed. Wilson would have been summarily executed but for the interposition of Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan minister here. Having secured a stay of pro- ceedings and a guarantee of a legal trial, the minister has now induced President Zelaya to comupwte the death sentence imposed upon Wilson by court-martial, . Before the receipt of this message it was not known here that the court martial had been held. It is presumed that the commutation is to imprison ment for a time snd then expulsion from Nicaragua. ------ . Long Life Is Ended. Paris, July 29.- Baroness de Lisle du Fief is dead, aged 105 years.

London, July 20.--The coronation baronetcy conferred on Sir Frederick Terves will not be the great surgeon's only reward for his successful con voyance of the king "out of danger." For his four weeks' attendance at Sandringham and recovery of the king from typhoid fover in 1871, Sir Willi am Gull received £10,000, as well as | the dignity of baronet. Twice this am- | ount was paid to Sir Morell Macken | zie for his treatment of the late Em peror Frederick, and in addition he was presented with the Order of the Red Kagle. The doctors who attended Queen Victoria in her last illness re ceived 2,000 uineas each, while Dr Laponi's skill in removing a eyst from the pope's side a few year's ago was recompensed with £500. But the record in medical fees is held by the ancestor of the present Lord mayor of London, Dr. Dimsdale, who received for his journey to St. Petersburg and vaccination of the Empress Catherine 11, £10,000 as his fee, £5,000 for tra velling expenses, and also the title of baron and a life pension of £500 a year. Sir Frederick Treves has certainly earned a generous reward for his skill, At little more than a moment's notice he placed his whole time at the king's service, and for at least seven days and nights he never went to bed, snatching slecp at Buckingham Palace at odd moments. His daughter's wed ding occurred during these critical days, and it was only when she drove herself 10 the palace, and put the case before her father that he took a hur vied hall hour to attend the quiet ceremony.
