A mertine of the City Council was held at noon to-day. The principal business transacted was the final setilement of the agreement of contract with Mr. John Sin- nott for the extension of Pownal Wharf. The Report of the Wharf Committee in re- gard to the completion of the extension was read. It was satisfactory to the Council and the contractors, and the balance due Mr. Sinnott on the contract, amounting to something over twenty-two hundred dollars, was ordered to be paid. The Pownal Wharf at jpresent is incomplete. The extension stands in an elevated position, so that a horse cannot ascend with more than half a load from the old wharf to the extension. The sides of the extension and about one hundred and fourteen feet at the sides of. the old wharf have been dredged with a viewof extending the present breadth of the wharfon piles. Up to to-day the Council lad taken no action in the matter. A letter was read from Messrs. Sinnott and Callaghan, offering to complete the wharf in the most substantial manner on_ piles, and raise the old wharf to the present length of the extension, for the sum of fifteen dollars per foot—which means one foot in length and one hundred feet in breadth. A committee was appointed to confer with the gentlemen regarding this matter, after which the meeting adjourned tit Saturday evening.

The Times’ leading article says:—‘‘There appears every reason to believe that the ap- proval expressed of the work of the Con- gress at Berlin will be confirmed by the jimature judgment of all impartial critics. | The passing irritation which has been so in- temperately expressed in Italy is evidently discountenanced, not merely by the govern- ‘ment and the best men of the country, but iby the better judgment of the nation. It is irebuked everywhere else, and will doubtless svon give way to more just views. From ‘the other countries we receive evidence of ‘increasing satisfaction, and the hasty rhetoric which assumed that every other ‘nation was offended by the course we had taken is likely to be promptly refuted.”

A horrible double tragedy occurred this morning near the village of Rockford, Ont. George Smith, a farmer, and James Smith, his eldest son (a young man about twenty- ‘one years of age), had a dispute over some money, when the latter attempted to mur- der his two sisters and brother, desparately wounding the former. He then murdered his father outright by smashing his head with a club.

The Great Sculling Match Between Ross and Hanlan,

To-day between three and six o’clock p. m., is the time appointed for the great sculling contest between Wallace Ross, of St. John, and Ed, Hanlan, of Toronto. The race will be over a five mile course, and the amount in dispute is $2,000 a side. The struggle is ex- pected to be the most exciting that has ever taken place in America. The question as to what time will be made is being warmly dis- cussed by St. John boating men as well as by the devotees of boating that have arrived in town during the past few days. Yesterday the rumor was started that Hanlan had cov- ered the five miles in 34:12, but few credit this report. A tew days ago it is said thata Toronto gentleman, on being informed that Ross had covered the course in 35:40, offered to bet any amount that the man _ rowing the race in that time would be the winner, which statement, coming as it did from one who shouldfknow Hanlan’s time, is considered pretty good evidence that Hanlan has not made the extraordinary good time mentioned above. Yesterday afternoon the American steamer brought to this city a great crowd of sporting men, most of whom belong to the United States. It was interesting last night to hear the discussions between the new arri- vals and St. John men, The general opinion among the strangers is that Hanlan will win. Nothing but the boat race was talked of about town last night. —St, John News,

Y COAL. REDUCTION IN PRICE!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

‘7 GENERAL MINING ASSOCTA- TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the — that the price of SYDNEY COAL has een

Reduced to $2 per tou of 2249 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 improveinents 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 vast the prices of other Cape Breton coals have een regulated by the rates fixed for SY DNEY 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 COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when omaanil 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 coal as 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 sranDARD character of SYDNEY COAL,

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances 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 apon in this way.

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

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal” is registered under the Jaws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY COAL” are lable to presecution.
