The Ministers in St. John.

GREAT TRIUMPH FOR TILLEY AND KING,

(From the Sun, Aug. 23.)

The reception accorded to Messrs. Tilley and King last night by Mr. McKenzie’s own meeting must have satisfied that gentleman that it was scarcely worth while for himself and Mr. Cartwright to have all the way from Ontario to call forth such demonstra- tions of applause as greeted the Opposition candidates or to receive such a rasping as was there accorded to the Government. To say that the Government cause lost ground last night would be a feeble repre- sentation of an admitted fact—admitted not only by active party men, but py all moder- ate men who were present, without refer. ence to their political predilections. To say that the Opposition cause was strengthened, that the Opposition speaking was superior to the governmental utterances, that the Opposition arguments were too strong and pointed to be answered, and that, in short, the Opposition, though placed at the outset at an extreme disadvantage, came trium- phantly out of the tournay, would be ex-

ing public opinion correctly and honestly. The truth is that in no portion of the Maritime Provinces have Messrs. Mc- Kenzie and Cartwright failed socompletely to influence public sentiment asin St. John. They have not only failed, but failed badly, failed in their own meeting, failed so palp- ably and absurdly, that the collapse was to be seen of all men. They leave the Mari- time Provinces to-day fully satisfied that St. John has men who are their equal in a knowledge of public affairs, their superior in speaking ability, more than their match “in logic and sarcasm, who can hold their own with anything Ontario can produce in the House of Commons. If the meeting of last night had demonstrated nothing more than these facts, it was worth to the coun- try, though not to the Ministerial party, all the trouble taken by the two Ministers in coming to St. John. They could not see it in this light, but the electors of St. John will gratefully remember their visit, in this,

if in no other connexion.

Returning from the Maritime Provinces defeated and demoralized ,-—notwithstand- ing their assumed confidence, which it is necessary to keep up in order to put heart in their supporters—these Ministers see their Maritime majority vanishing; their hopes blighted; their expectations scattered to the winds ; all their prospects of retain- ing the Government gone for ever. That they will continue to shout ‘‘ Success ?’ ‘© Success !’ we do not doubt. We do not expect them to acknowledge defeat. But the'great body of the electors of the Mari- time Provinces have been witnesses to the collapse of what at no time was anything but a hopeless undertaking, and_ they cor- dially bid them God speed on their journey to political perdition.

Captain Smith's Evidence, The

Coroner's Address.

THE VERDICT |

Isaac H. Smrru (Captain of M. A. Star) sworn: A young man came on board of my steamer last Thursday morning about 11 o'clock, and said his name was Johnston, and he belonged to Yarmouth. He said he had got into some trouble. I said ‘* what have you been doing,—been firin pistols about town.” He said he had. i think I said, ‘‘ well you can’t go with me.” He had previously asked to go with me as a@ passenger. I asked him what Johnston he was, and he said he was the son of Johnston of Burrill, Johnston & Co. He said nothing definite about the firing. He told me he had got into a scrape. He said nothing about shooting a man. He said if he did not come with me he would go in a schooner belonging to his father. He did not say he had shot a man. I was a little excited at the time, and do not remember exactly what he said. I said something to him about a man having been shot, but he did not acknowledge shooting any one. I did not tell anyone he said so. I made about the same statement to the Marshal as I now make to this inquest. I spoke to Mr. Koughan about the matter. I do not recollect what I said to him.

[Mr. Hodgson here objected to any con- versation between Capt. Smith and Mr. Koughan being allowed as evidence. |

The young man who came on board my steamer did not make any admission as to the shooting. I do not see any one in court that 1 could swear to as being the young man who came on board my steamer last Thursday.

Dr. James McLeod, sworn : I performed a post mortem examination on the body of Kelly. | I found him witha wound on the right side. I found it had penetrated the right chest and had grazed and slightly splintering the seventh rib, It had passed through the diaphrim into the liver, escap- ing the lung and lodging in the spine. In removing the liver we found that the bullet had lodged in the abdominal tissues. The effusion of blood was considerable. The abdominal cavity was pretty well filled with blood. It appears from the the course the bullet had taken that it had been fired from above, but I would not swear that it had not been fired direct.

George Wilson, sworn: I had no con- versation with James Millner since last Fri- day fortnight. I don’t know where Thos. Lynch is. I have not seen him since Tues- day last. I have no idea where he is. He is an apprentice working in Mr. Millner’s tin shop. I know of no reason for his leaving. He has not been discharged to my knowl- edge.

THE CORONERS’ ADDRESS.

Shortly after the last witness was exam- ined, Coroner Jenkins commenced his ad- dress to the jury. He said :—

‘*A very important duty has been entrust- ed to you in inquiring how and by whom the deceased (Kelly) came to his death. No doubt you have a strong feeling of sympa- thy for the parents of those who are accused of that crime; but you must throw your sympathy aside, and, according to your oath, render a verdict according to the evi- dence laid before you. The evidence of Dr. Hobkirk shows that the deceased came to his death by a pistol shot. The case is, however, by no means clear. But, we have a strong chain of circum- stantial evidence. First, we have the evi- dence of Mary Ellen Byers, who swore that the fatal shot came from a wagon in Roch- ford street. She describes the dress of the persons who were in the wagon at the time. Her description is corroborated by John A. McKenna and Francis McCar- ron, both of whom swear that they met the —— during that evening, and give a

escription similar to that of Mary Ellen Byers. Then we have the evidence of John Potter, who saw them driving in the vicin- ity, and who heard one of the party saying, ** By Christ, we will do it.” He also de- scribes the horse and wagon and corroborates the descriptions of several witnesses. Again we have the evidence of Patrick Hand,which is very important. He hears pistol shots fired in the Bog, and in a short time saw a horse and wagon, which he said to him- self was Millner’s—driving past, and one of the occupants says ‘‘ I caught the fellow who fired the stone,” and the other says ** no, Pve got him.” Next comes the evi- dence of Suse Ingles and Mrs, Chiverie, who were talking to the persons in the wagon. Their evidences are by no means as explicit as they might be. Then the evidence of Lily Ryan shows that Dave Ingles fired a stone at the wagon. This may show that there was provocation. I will quote the law on that point in a short time. Next we have the evidence of Matthew Curran, who swears he got a wagon at Mr. Stumbles’ Livery Stables on Wednesday evening for Millner ; that he drove to the Gas House with Millner, and then to Mr. Higgins’ Boarding House, here Johnston got on the wagon. Then they drove to Grafton Street, and Curran left the wagon before the resi- dence of Mr. Andrew Doyle. From there they are traced near the place of the mur- der. Again, McKinnon the steward of a Yarmouth schooner, tells that the young man Johnston went on board the schooner, and tried to stow-away. His statement— no matter what credibility you may give to it—it is corroborated by the fact that John- ston was arrested on board the schooner, We have alsothe evidences of the City Mar- shall and policemen Shea and Bradley which show that Johnstone almost made a confession of the crime. There is no

doubt that Kelly’s life has been taken by and those who took it are either Now,to

violence, guilty of murder or manslaughter.

THE KELLY MURDER. |

show you the difference between these, I will read.

The Coroner then read extracts showing the differance between a verdics of murder and manslaughter, and closed by statin that if the jury considered the deceased came to his death by a pistol shot fired by Johnson, they had no other alternative than to bring in a verdict, also making Millner an accessory before the fact. The Coroner then read the most impertant evi dences taken at the inquest, after which the jury retired, and within an hour and a half returned a verdict ‘‘That the deceased came to his death by a pistol shot, fired from a wagon on Rochford street by a party or parties unknown.”

‘*The position of the Reform party in regard to the Federal Government is, that they argue against alliances as well as against hostility. Their position is this:—That the Local Govern- ment should be perfectly independent of the Central Government, and should neither be en- tangled by alliance or embarrassed by hostility. The independence of each of the Provinces is necessary for the working of the federal sys- tem.” —Edward Blake.

‘It has been frequently asserted that there is a close connection between this (Sir John’s) Government and the Government of the local Legislatures. /t is desirable that there should be no connection whatever between the Central and Local Governments, and I feel it to be my duty to bring this principle before the House.” —Alexander McKenzie, in the Dominion House of Commons.

POLITCAL MEETING AT KEN- SINGTON.

Hackett and Howatt almost Unani- mously Nominated.

FRDERALIST,

Howatr anp Hackett

addressed about one hundred of the electors of Kensington on Friday evening last, and was listened to with marked attention— after they had spoken for abovt an hour each, Mr. Howatt was proposed as a can- didate to Dominion Parliament for Prince County, by Mr. Daniel MeMillan, and seconded by Mr. Joseph McMillan, and Mr. Hacket was proposed by Mr. Hugh McLeod, and seconded by Mr. Joseph Web- ster. These motions were put and carried almost unanimously.

Mr. JoHn Ramsay, from Rose Hill, also gave a short address, followed by Mr. Perry, who spoke for about one hour and a half. Mr. Yeo, being called on by the Chair- man, refused to come forward and address the audience, when Mr. David Rogers, from Summerside, on being called by the people, spoke for about an hour, in a clear and forcible manner, in the interest of the Opposition. Mr. Rogers spoke with good effect, showing clearly that it was to the interest of the people, and this Island in particular, to support the Macdonald party, if they wanted men in power who were able to save the Dominion from bankruptcy, and restore it to that prosperous condition in which it was five years ago.

All the speeches were listened to with good attention, and good order prevailed throughout.

The meeting came to a close about 11 o’clock, by a vote of thanks to the Chair- man.

SYDNEY COAL,

70:

REDUCTION IN PRICE!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

HE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA.

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the

a that the price of SYDNEY COAL has en

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs.,

a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers,

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re- cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale,

It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAI,, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compared with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price,

‘The General — Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them: to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sTANDAKD character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances ies givin orders to truckmen and others for SYDN EY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed upon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of the cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized i using the Trade Mark “‘“SYDNEY COAL” are hable to prosecution,
