Changes since 1874.

Tuk Ottawa Citizen has published a table showing the changes in the House of Com- mons since the General Election in 1874. The names of the constituencies are given, as well as the names of the defeated Minis- toriulist, an the elected Oppositionists slowing a gain to the latter—or Liberal- Conservatives—of TWENTY-THREE against tivo. The only constituencies gained by the Ministerialists were those of Arzenteiul and Montreal Centre! Will the Patriot deny the correctness of this statement? If solet him publish his list. ‘What, then, must be the reasonable conclusion of every unbiased mind, but that the indications are that the Ministry must fall before an indig- nant people.

THE KELLY MURDER.

Proceedings at the Inquest.

CITY MARSHAL’S EVIDENCE.

Tae inquest was resumed at 11 o'clock to-day. The Court-room was literally packed with spectators who watched the with the greatest attention. Marshal Flynn’s testimony was very im- portant and threw much light on the case.

proceedings

The other evidence taken was unimpor- tant :—

John Larter, jr., sworn: Iwas on the Malpeque Road on Wednesday night about twenty minutes to nine o'clock. I met Milner and a young man driving. I did not know the young man. One wore a cap and the othera hat. There was not much difference in the size of both. I think lt was the man who was driving had the cap. I spoke to Millner as he passed. He answered me. I knew it was James Millner when I spoke. I knew the horse. It was a little black horse belonging to Mr. Geo. Millner. The wagon was a light single- seated wagon. I did not take much notice of the wagon. It was a square boxed wagon with, | think, side springs. I met them coming. They came in the road again in about ten minutes.

Julia Parsons sworn: I remember the evening this boy was shot. I was going out io Mrs. Hyndman’s, and when returning at Black Sam’s Bridge about 20 minutes to 10 i heard three shots fired. There was a short interval between the shots; the first two were quicker. We were frightened and did not walk fast. When we walked across the bridge a wagon passed around Dr. Hobkirk’s corner. I don’t know whether there were one or twomen in the wagon. The horse was not alight one. I have no idea who was in the wagon. I could not tell how they were dressed, I know James Millner. Carrie Sa:nders was with me that evening,

Carric Sanders sworn: IL was with Julia Parsons con Wednesday evening, passing Black Sam’s Bridge about half-past nine. When at the west side of the bridge we heard three shots tired in quick suecession. We were frightened. We saw a wagon pass Dr. Hobkirk’s corner. f could not tell who was in the wagon or whether there was one or two.

Roderick Matheson sworn : On Thursday last [ was on Duncan's Wharf. I was their a'll day. “The schooner Marie Cathrine was lying there. I saw parties going on board of her. I did not take particular notice of any persons who went on board, except the Marshal and Policemen. I did not see Mr.

Johnston or his son going on board. I saw the captain of the schooner. I did not

state to anyone or the Marshal that I saw those two persons on the wharf. All the statement I made to the Marshal was that ! knew nothing about it. 1 did notsee Mr. Johnston or his son on the wharf or on the schooner,

Robert Small, sworn : I did not see Jas. Miliner on the night of tne 14th. I saw him some time through the day. I saw him about eight o’clock the next morning. ‘There was no conversation between us that morning. All he said was, “* Helle, Roby.” I swear positively he said nothing to me about the shooting. I had no conversation with James Millner about the shooting matter since the occurrence up to the pres- ent time. I did not hear him say anything to anybody about the shooting.

To Mr. Palmer: Millner was at werk when the policemen arrested him.

Thomas EK. Flynn, sworn: About ten e’clock on the night of the 14th,I got to the scene of the murder. Kelly was then breathing his last. I immediately went to work to gather information regarding the matter. Patrick Hand told me that Mil- liner’s horse had passed shortly after the occurrence. After gleaning some more in- formation, I went to the Police Station and despatched ofticers to Millner’s to see if they could discover a wagon track into the yard. I then went to the Bog to get fur- ther information. IT looked for the wagon track. I got a candle; the wind was blow- ine very hard; and it was difficult tomeasure it accurately. However I found the track —in soft sand—to be four feet ten inches; and the width of the tyer to be one inch. The wagon that was in Mr. Millner’s yard the next morning did not correspond with that, but the wagon I have in my possession now does. It measures exactly four feet nine‘and three-quarters when printed in hard clay. It came from Mr. Stumbles’ Livery Stables. I searched for further in- formation, and concluded to arrest Millner. [ went to his father’s shop in the morning, and found him at work, { said, ‘‘James, I want you.’ He said, ‘All right, Marshall.” We took him to the police station. We received information on ‘Thursday forenoon that a young man named Johnston was implicated. I detailed officers ¢o scarch for him and keep a look out at all

a Yarmouth schooner which I found to be treighted by Johnston’s father. When I searched first the hold was full of freight. We found no trace of the prisoner. 1 left an Oflicer to stay by the schooner and went to search through the city. At 12 o'clock on Thursday mght I again searched the schooner in company with officer P. Shea. We searched the cabin and the deck. I then lifted up the main hatch, and in doing so fell into the hold. Atter searching for a few minutes I found Johnston secreted. | took him to the hatchway and called to Shea to look out for the prisoner. Johnston said, ‘‘There is no fear ; I will not resist. [ suppose I will have to suffer for what I did.” He was terribly frightened and ex- cited at the time. We took him on the wharf and I searched him for the revolver, but found none. I asked him what he did with it, and he said he gave it to his father. We then started for the station, and the stewart fol- lowed. Johnston turned to the steward and said : ‘‘I suppose you made a big thing of selling my life.” The steward replied : ** T wonld not sail with a murderer.” 1 then told the sailor to keep back and not say another word to Johnston, as he was my prisoner, and I would not allow it. On our way to the station he told us he had three or four notions to give himself up when he was stowed away in the hold. When we got into the station Millner was in one of the cells, and, immediately on seeing Johnston, he jumped up in a very excited manner and said to a friend of his : ‘*You must goand tind Mr. Shaw; we must have him here immediately.” I thought it better to remove Johnston to the Court House, and leave him there for the night, in charge. While on our way to the station, 1 asked him what time did he leave Millner last night. He said: ‘‘ Had I better answer that ques- tion?’ I told him that he better not if it would hurt or criminate him. He did not answer, and [ then told him not to answer any questions, and cautioned the officers not toask him any. I believe he would tell everything if he was pressed to do so. About one o'clock I went to Mr. Higgins’ to see his father to get the revolver from him. He asked me if he could see his son. I told him he could see him at the Court- room. I then asked him for the revolver, and told him that his son told me that he gave itto him. He said he had no re- revolver and then walked away.

Advices via Constantinople say that Gen. Szapary’s division of the Austrian army of occupation was defeated near Tuzla on the llth of August, after a brilliant battle which lasted twelve hours.

A despatch from Bucharest to the T'imes says Prince Dandaurkoff Karsakoff will shortly begin the organization of the ad- ministration for Bulgaria at 'Trinova, capital of the new principality.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 16,

The Porte’s note relative to the demands of Greece, maintains that the insurrection in Thessealy was solely kept up by bonds from Greece ; that Greece has no claim to

eration during war, as she was only restrain- ed by fear; and that Turkey never aceepted the principle of rectification of fro atier. The only sentence in the note which gives any hopes of understanding, is one stating that the Porte leaves to the powers the task of judging its argument.

The Times despatch says that difticulty he- tween Turkey and England relative to the introduction of administrative reforms in Asia Minor are almost entirely removed.

Paris, Aug. 16.

In award of prizes at the Paris Exposition the United States Agricultural exhibit has received the deploma of honor, and the United States Hducational exhibit gold medals of eleven objects of art, offered by the Agricultural Society of France, for ex- ceptional merit in agricultural machinery.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live in. Nature gives us grandeur of mountains glens and oceans, and thousands of means for enjoyment. We can desire no better when im perfect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily ob- tain satisfactory proof that Green’s August Flower will make them as free from disease as when born.

Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been Reduced to $2 per ton of 2246 los., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winniug at ‘“‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEER 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 tixed 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 lastin qualities of SYDNEY COAL when comparec 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 Mining 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 SY DNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts te sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sranparp character of SYDNEY COAL,

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent ‘nstances parties giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed wpon 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 parties using the Trade Mark ““SYDNEY COAL” are liable to prosecution.
