Swift's: Steamer Helleville, up, Sunday; steanibarge Robert McDon- ald, from Oswego, with coal; steamer Aletha, from bay points.

"Marty" Walsh left on Sunday night for Toromto. He will spend a few weeks on the steamer Belleville, until the large boats start running and then he will go as assistant purser on the 'steamer Rapids King. Nearly all the elevators are at a standstill. The water is so high that when one of the big steel grain boats comes in, she is too high up for the elevator to get a leg into. Two boats have so far come back from Prescott this season on that account, and they could not be unloaded here. 5 The high water is yet causing con- #iderable difficulty all down the line. The steamer Belleville went down Montreal on Tuesday, and in going through the Long Sault rapids, th. water was so high tot she hit the bridge, knocking out Addie stick, The water has not been so high in years and has caused hundreds" and hundreds of dollars worth of damage the A CONGETE_ COMPA WILL ERECT BUILDINGS IN KINGSTON, Os- Conerete Cheaper Than Other Materials--The Company's En- gineer Will Give Plans and Estimates on Applicdtion. A building company to be known as the hingston Artificial Stone ' and Construction company hes been form- ed here, E. R. Beckwith, who has be gun practice on bis own aceount, will be the consulting engineer of the company, snd J, U. Hutton will secretary-treasurer. This company will manufacture for sale all kinds of con- at up the load cleared - with Uswego to and sills, steps, columns, balusters, lawn vases, etc. It will also erect any building in Kingston on the actual cost, plus a percentage plan or for a Contract price, as clients may wish. At present, plans are being prepared, for a row of five concrete dwellings, three detached houses, and a reinfore- ed concrete 'store, all of which will be erected this season. No charge is made for the plans, provided an order is given for the blocks or a contract is given to erect the buildings requir- ed. Several orders are also on hand for the blocks, sills and lintels for two houses. Its advertisement appears elsewhere in to-day's Whig. As regards concrete houses, it is claimed there is no better buildin material, for if the blocks are proper- ly made and laid, they make a much warmer and more durable bouse than solid brick, The chief points quoted in their favor is, however, the low price, and at the present time concrete seemd to be the only material that can be profitably used, owing to the high cost of brick and also the inability to secure a supply. Besides cemend blocks, the other materials provided, such as columns, balasters, ete., are claimed to he much preferable to wood as they will never rot or require painting, and as re gards cost they are cheaper. They cost about half what the same things in limestone do. The office of the company is at No. 10 Market street, where any one con- templating the erection of a house invited to call and get perticulars, and estimated cost of a conerote house, to is A SPECIAL MEETING. along Lake Ontario alone.

Miss Ada Kosevear, as Ney- sion, and devote an evening to its (ra, was in excellent form and receiv- consideration. ud voeiferons applause, encores and & beautiful bouquet. The male choruses were excellently taken. D. Waring was at his best. The stately 'Queen Zephra,""" was heartily forgiven for yielding to the strony temptation to observe the ludicrous side of the situa- tion as she summoned all the fury of her frail form to Henounce the enraged and pompous King Decius, for only true humorists have learned to laugh at their own expense. The solos, bass and tenor respectively of 'Messrs. Man- hard. and Cummings, gave complete satisfaction. It is hard to say which dance was the best; for cleverness, the 7 merry-go-round was. unequalled, but each and all deserved the - stinted praise 'and admiration of which they were the recipients, The newsboys caused considerable merri- ment with their song and antics. And-now for the brave and gallant Hussurs. They justified the judges' de- vision, "Perfect," is . the only true verdict. Some in the audience were heard to remark that it would be a task to find a regiment that could surpass them and jt was a serious question whether regulars could be brought into as good shape in the same time. The hit of the house was again "Louisiana: Lou," sung by Miss Norma Hughes and Mr. Booth, Bea- teice Beaudry as Cupid, captivating Irene Harris, and Miss Jessie Reid, as commodore, received fine bouquets. A red y was handed to the remown- cd Hussars, through Mr, Booth, who himself received two boxes of cigars, one from the audience and one from the Highland Cadets. In thanking the latter, Mr. Booth said they had given him" the opportunity to smoke him- self to death if he so desired. He not only wished to thank tBem, but to publicly apologize for charging some of them with aiming the piece of iron and a wooden box at the stage from the boxes, Friday night. He was greatly incensed at such rowdyism, and in the heat of the moment had blamed the wrong party. the Booth the Highland Conditions May Be Changed. There is yet a likelihood of the 14th regunent taking part in the Quebec tercentenary. It is thought that the government will change the conditions of pay for city regiments so that the flower of Canada's militia may all be enabled to ° appear on the historic Plains of Abraham in July. It is generally conceded that it is. a mis take to place anything in the way of the crack city regiments taking part in the great event. It is also thought that a mistake has been made in can- celling the annual camps. The opin: jon prevails that it would have been better to have the usual camps 'in June, and to have trapsported only the city and town corps to the Que- bee tercentenary proceedings. Youths In Danger. Half a dozen young boys, who went sailing up Cataraqui hay, on Sunday afternoon, had an experience that they will not forget. Two of them got out #t the Pittsburg shore, and while they werp away, the boat, with the others, drifte! out into the bay. There was quite a sea at the time, and the quar tette of youths could not manage the sails. They tried the oars; but these broke. A man ashore saw their danger, and rowed out to them and towed their boat to land. The youths were terribly irightened, as they had given up hope of getting to land again. To Have New Principal. Queen's residence, which has heen given up by Mise Mowat, after four years' most successful work, as lady principal, will, in the autumn, come under the sway of Miss Kate Coch- rane, of Brockville, dister of Capt. J. B. Cochrane, of this city. Queen's au- thorities and the young women who will spend their college course at the residence, y feel themselves most highly favored in the prospect of Mies Cochrane's rule. ------------------ Two Years For Theft James Bartell, of London, Ont., is the latest addition to the peniten- tiary. He was afrested some time ago, on a charge of stealing a quantity of copper, found guilty, and sentenced to two years in the peni- tentiary. He was brought here Deputy Sheriff Watterworth, this morning SABBATH OBSERVANCE HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE RESURRECTION. On Lord's Day Christians Should Put Aside Things Which 'Would Not Tend Towards Cul- ture of Spiritual Life. At Sydenham Street Methodist church, on Sunday evening, the pas- tor, Rev. C. A. Svkes, B.I)., preached on the subject, "Sunday a Common Holiday," his text being chosen irom Revelations x, 10: "1 was in the spirit on the Lord's day." A ques- tim would he asked concerning the Lord's day and its significance. Was it merely a blank. which we might fill in as we pleased ? Or was it a day of special meaning, because of its historical setting, or because it has been observed. in the early days the Christians had gathered together on the first day of the week. There was a sacredness attached to the day, a day when all business was deferred, The Christians observed the day be- cause Christ arose on this day, The resurrection of Christ was the root of it all. The day was not observed because of the fourth commandment. The Lord's day had its origin in the resurrection. It "was a day to com- memorate the resurrection, and, of course, it t be observed in the spirit of | that cgmmemoration. The reading of boeks, such as Shakespeare and Burns, on the Sabbath, or in- dulging im sports, would not separate a person from God, but these things did not bear, upon the spirit for which the day was set apart for Christians. On the Sabbath, Christians should pat aside all things which would not tend to the eulture of the spiritual life. It was not because the thingy were evil, but heesuse this time should be set apart for the spiritual nature. THE FUND GROWS.

Fearful weather greeted the Caf: Chantant, under the auspices of the Daughters of the Empire, in St. George's hall, on Saturday evening, but those who braved the wind and rain - were rewarded by a delightful musical programme, There were songs by Mrs. J. J. -Harly, whose voice is so swewt and oear suneful, and by Midd Mora' Knight, who dfways gives pleasure when she sings. And this same may be said with equal truth-of Arthur Craig, who also gave a song. The St. Andrew's quariette, Mis Knight, Miss Beatrice Tandy, Col Stron.e and Mr. Craiz, gave a delight- ful number, unaccompanied, and Miss Muriel King played ofe of the "Songs Without Words" in her own finighed way. Cadet Lawson made a great hit by his singing and playing. The hall, decorated under the sup- erintendence of Miss E. Maecdonell, was gay with bunting and banners. Mrs. T. D. R. Hemming was in charge of the cofiee and ices, and selling. sweets were Misg Grace Hemming and Miss Phyllis Short. x Death Of Mrs. D. Lilly. The death took place at the Hotel Dieu, on Sunday morning, of Mrs. D, Lilly, Wellingtos street. Death was due to anaemia, s She has been ill for four months, Since Tuesday last her youngest son has never leit her side, but tenderly cared for her. She leaves to mown a loving mother's loss, four children, Richard, of Orillia; Mrs. W, G. Wright, Kingston; James, Wolie Island, and Samuel at home. Her husband died nineteen years ago.

The Guelph chief of police who was here a few days ago was quite sur- prised at the law-abiding conditions in Kingston. He thought the Lime- stone City lucky in this regard, and gave the local police great praise, "Everything In Hats." "THEY ARE HERE!

Minstrelsy 'of the genuine, joyful sort, brought up to date as to ela- borateness of produetion and artistic arrangement, will Le the attractiom at the Grand on Tuesday, May 5th. It will signify the engagement of George Primrose and his big, blackface min- strel company in a programme that contains everything pertaining to negro life, on a southern plantation, mnterspersed with clever vaudeville. The scemic iuvestiture has been ele vated to a degree of artistic impor- tance not found in the old traditional minstrel shows, The singing of princi- pals and chorus as well as the play- mg of the orchestra, is far superior, it is claimed, to anything ever before heard in minstrelsy, -- "The Red Mill."

The Owner of a Restaurant in a Frenzy Attacked His Wife and the Assault Embroiled Many in a Row. Between five day afternoon, and six o'clock, Sun- a fierce fight took place in "Beefsteak Jack's" fating house on Ontario street. The contes- tants went at each other with Knives and as a result, "Jack" Cunning- colored girl, about nineteen years old are now in a serious condition at the Hotel Dieu. The fight occurred between the peo- ple of the restaurant, Cunningham, his wife, her daughter and a hired girl. Sunday's fight was no surprise the people around about. They stated that sooner later would be trouble. On Sunday afternoon, "Jack'" went out for a drive, coming home about a quarter to live. Shortly after he entered he had a few words with his wily, and in a moment of frenzy he sttuck her a blow in the face, knock- ing her down. The daughter, when she saw her mother being ill-treated, grabbed a carving knife, dnd rukhed at Cunningham, inflicting a deep gash on the left arm, below the shoulder. Cunningham grabbed the girl with his right hand and tried to take the knife away from her. It is not known whether he in | getting the knife, or whether he took another one and attacked her, but at any rate, she received a gash across the right hand, at the wrist joint, which will maim her for life. The cut all but severed the hand from the wrist, cutting' all the arteries, the blade entering in at the joint The palm of the hand was also laid open Both the men and. women were bleeding badly, and the eries of the girl could be heard on the street young English girl, employed as a waitress, then took a hand against Cunningham, and she was also badly used up, although no knife wounds were inflicted. People rushed in irom the street and quieted things down. Dr. Mortison was summoned. He dressed the wounds temporarily, and theq had the parties removed to the Hotel Dieu. The wound on the man's arm is not dangerous, but he was quite weak from loss of blood. The girl received the worst injury and it is not likely that she will regain the use of her hand, at any rate not for : some months. . It appears that the best of rela- tions have not existed betmeen Connigham and his wife, anid" the fight on Sunday was only one of many. This is the first time that he has been known to strike her, and that blow chused all the trouble, as the daughter rushed at her step-inther as soon as he knocked her mother down. In all probability a police court case will follow. " r to had or there succeeded Part With Corns.
