crop of the present yerr cannot yet be given, bat the indicated yield with the preliminary return of acreage, says the Toledd Produce Exchange Market Record, ‘*makes an ap- parent poluction of less than 140,030,000 bushels.

it.” The potato export trade from these! provinces would seem to indicate, however, |

that there isa very live'y demand at very

According to notice, a fairly large and representative gathering of Scott Act sup- porters was held Friday evening in Me- Leod’s Hal! to organize for the sampaigu. On motion, Mr. James Davison was called to the chair, and the undersigned was ap- pointed secretary, after which the meeting was declared open.

Short and spirited addresses were deliv- ered by Alex. McKinnon, Esq., Rev. Mr. Gordon, and Rev. Mr. Carruthers, Mr. McKinnon believed the feeling in favor of

the Scott Act was to-day greater than it was} but something must be} if)

three years ago, done to arouse and enthuse the citizens. ever there was atime when we wanted the Scott Act, it was now. he believed in a restrictive measure, but the more he watched the working of the Act and the trickery of its opponents, the more he was in favor of its retention until we attain the great object for which we are all working. The Scott Act should be and must be sustained. But every one must do his part. We must stir up those who are indifferent. If the Iquor party is de- feated, he believed most of them would give up the struggle. (Applause).

Rev. Mr. Gordon was glad to see sv many present who apparently ‘*meant business.”’ He considered it would be « great calamity to recede from the position we have gained. To say nothing of the morality of the ques- tion, to give upthe Seott Act would be surrendering ground for which we have had to fight hard.and pay dearly. [If unsuc- ceasful this time he believed many of the liquor dealers would give up the business, at all events gradually. In fact he had had it from the mouths of more than one closely connected with the trattic. He was pre- pared to do all he could by vvice, hand, and purse to aid in the conflict. This was the fourth or tifth campaign he had fought, and he was never mvre in love with the Seott Act than to-day.

Rev. Mr. Carruthers, who came in while Mec. Gordon was speaking, followed. ie thought the meeting should at ounce proceed

to the appvintment of committees, and he recommended that among others, that a

committees be appointed tu cellect statistics and information to be disseminated through the press during the campaign. There was much information to be gathered and made public. it must be understuuod tliat no local government would venture on local option law to-day. There is grave doubt as to their power todos». For all questions raised, we must be prepared, and we should have a committee. He would also suggest that every man who writes for the Scott Act, should do so over his own signature. We have a good cause, and should make a manly, fearless stand.

Ceuncillor Crabbe agreed with the pre- viovs speaker. He thought the meeting should organize at once as the time was short. He had been glad to read the letter from Rev. Mr. Carruthers in the EXAMINER of thatevening. If the editor answered it, it will eaable himself and the pubtic to find eut just where he stands. He hoped the EXAMINER would be with them in fight.

He then moved that a literature committee of five be appointed to gather statistics, etc , and on motion the following were selected: Rev. Jas. Carruthers, chairman; Rev. Mr. Gordon, Mess s. T. C. James, W. 8S. Stewart and B. D. Higgs.

An executive committee, consisting of the following gentlemen, who have power to add to their number, was also appointed—Mr. S. W. Crabbe, chairman; Alex. McKinnon, ©. C. Gardiner, A. W. Sterns, F. A. Beer, Henry Cundall, David Small, Geo. Wakeford, Jno. McPhail.

It was intimated that several public meet- ings would be held during the fight, and it is expected that the Divisions and Lodges meet- ing in McLeod's Hal! wiil throw open their doors each evening to the public.

Shipping and Other Disasters.

Bark Claribel Ordered to Halifax.

THE COILA'S LATEST PASSAGE,

Yesterday afternoon two tugs went out to the assistance of the barque Claribel, which, it was reported, was in a very dan- sition near the reef at Point Prim. ‘When the tugs arrived they found the

barque at anchor inside the reef and leak- ing sume. The tugs were made fast to her and she was towed in to the Three Tides, where she now lies. The Claribel, it will be remembered, sailed from here on Wed- nesday afternoon with a cargo of produce land horses for Bermuda. She encountered a heavy south-east gale off Wood Islands the same night, and was obliged to put l back, dropping anchor off St. Peter’s Island. There she remained that night aud all day Thursday. On Thursday evening the wind came around to the westward, blowing a regular hurricane, and the sea ran high. Daring the gale the barque and one of her anchors parted company ; and the remaio- ing anchor not being sufficient to hold her, owing to the storm prevailing, she dragged inside Point Prim veef, about 200 yards from the bell buoy. During the dragging process, it is said, she struck on the reef, sustaining some damage. It is pleasing to learn that the horses on board are comfort- able. There is no truth whatever in the stories afloat last evening relative to the drowuing of asailor and the loss of several horses. A survey Was held on the Claribel to-day. Asaresult she will be towed to | Port Hawkesbury, where an extra crew will | be shipped to take her to Halifax.

The steamer Cvila arrived here from Halifax, via eastern ports, about half-past | six tlast evening, bringing «the usual

general cargo. Captain Crews reports as follows : ** Left Halifax at 7 o’elock on | Saturday evening; weather fine to Canso, |Qn Monday, while the steamer was in Canso, a heavy northerly gale, accompanied | by rain and snow, set in. Left Canso for | Arichat at 9 30, arriving at 11. Left Ari- ichat on Tuesday morning at 8, by which time the storm had abated. Had fine | weather during the run through the Straits. | From the Straits until arrival at Souris, ‘had heavy northeast gale and very thick vapor. On Thuasday morning at 11 drop- ped anchor at Rollo Bay in twelve fathoms of water. Remained anchored there until 3 same afternoon, when the vapor having thinned a little the steamer started for

gerous ps

i j

'Souris, arriving there two hours later, ‘in the midst of athick snow storm. Re- ' mained in Souris until 9.30 a. m., yester-

' day, when left for Charlottetown, arriving 'at 6 30 last evening, as already stated. Ex- |perienced heavy northwest wind until ar- rival at Point Prim when it moderated ‘some. There is a good deal of lolly be- ltween Point Prim and Charlottetown.” | The Coila sailed on return to Halifax this | afternoon about three o’clock. She will ‘make another trip to this port, ice and | weather permitting.

The following extract is taken from a let- | ter received last evening by James Currie, Esq., Collector of Customs. The letter is 'from the Collector of Customs at Baytield, | Antigonish County, N.S., and bears date | Dee. 4, 1890 :

**Oa the lst instant a violent storm, accom- panied by the highest tide ever known, swept over this coast. A small schooner attempted to euter Pomquet harbor (a small bar harbor about one mile from this port), struck on the bar, capsized, and turned bottom up, thecrew all drowned. No assistance could possib'y be rendered, although but a short distance trom the house ef Joseph Atwater, ferryman. I could not ascertain her name until yesterday, as the stern was under water, but she now turns out to be the schsoner M. E. Lloyd, of Lockport, N. S. She is a very old vessel. Nothing was found in her but her charts and compass, Which are in my possession.”

During the gale of Thursday night last the roof of the magazine at For: Edward was blown off and carried about thirty yards away. Some of the tar coating was blown a considerable distance along the shore townwards, and the bricks along the cop of the walls of the magazine were loosened and thrown out of place.

A Point du Chene correspondent of the Moncton Transcript furnishes the following additional particulars of the wreck of the Reality already referred to by Tue Ex- AMINER : During the gale and snowstorm of lst inst., the schooner Reality, Miller master, of P. E. 1, and bound from Al- berton for Point du Chene, with 500 bags of potatoes for Myrick, Boston, struck somewhere near Casey Cape. It was very thick at the time, the storm being at its worst, and blowing a gale from the Nor’ Nor’ East. Captain Miller, not knowing where he was, bore away for deep water, when in a short time he ran hard aground head on the Barachois shore about four miles from this port, where the vessel lies high and dry at low water. The captain and crew were taken off in an exhausted condition, the captain was very low from getting wet and exposed all mght. All the crew were cared for by the people along the shore when the weather cleared sufficient to see the vessel. The vessel’s main boom was broken but otherwise she is all right.

The schr. Sissie Belle, of Newfoundland, Captain McGrath, which sailed from Point du Chene on Saturday morning for Halifax via New London, P. i. Island, where she was to take in a cargo ef potatoes from there to Halifax, was forced back by the storm, and is now safely frezen in at the Point.

Monday's storm was very severe at Cape Tormentine. The lumber, freight cars and all the rails and ties on the embankment were washed away. The contracters’ lots must | bave been very heavy on timber, tools, etc. | The lobster factories came in for a shaie and three ot them were destroyed. The dykes were broken, and itis estimated that fully ' 690 tens of hay witl be lost. : Advices from Halifax are to the effect that ‘the schooner Lady Franklin, lying in the | stream, dragged her anchors and, to prevent i being driven to sea, endeavoured to tind

American schooner A. H Lennox, from P, E- |. fur Portland, Me., has been wrecked at Doliver’s Island, near Whitehead. The crew were saved,

Thirteen vessels were diiven ashore at St. Pierre, Miq,, during Monday's storm, and there are about forty such disasters reported from different parts of the Nova Scotia coast.

The schooner Onward, from Boston to Charlottetown, put into Halifax for shelter on the 4th.

A Port Hawkesbury despatch of the 2nd says that the brigantine Hattie Louise, Capt. Sanderson, from Summerside for Trinidad and Barbadvoes, with 30 horses and a valuable cargo, dragged her anchors, but fortunately did not go ashore or receive any damage.

Canso advices of the 2nd state that con- siderable damage was done at that place by the storm of the previous eveniug. Four vessels went ashore and others were fast nearing. Eight large fishing boats had also gone ashore, three of which were total wrecks and the remaining five more or less damaged. The Euxine, produce laden from Prince Edwasd Island, was still ashore and leaking badly at latest accounts.

Letter of ~ Condolence.

Immediately after the funeral, a Com- mittee of Oddfellows met at the residence of Mr. Angus and presented the following letter of condolence from Wildey Lodge, in which he is an enthusiastic worker :—*

Wipry Longe, No. 27, 1. O. O. F. Charlottetown, Dee 6, 1899. Rob Angus, Ezxq.:

Dear Broruer,—Words are too poor to express our fellow-feeling with you in the great loss you sustained in the death of your beloved wife. Yet we cannot allow this day of sorrow to pass without assuring you of our deepest sympathy and bearing to you on behalf of your brothers of Wildey Lodge their united sentiments of sincerest con- dolence.

This great bereavement which has come to your heart and home did not spring from the dust, The God wh: m you loveand seve, and who is your Father in heaven, hath permitted it. So sad an event could not escape His om- niscience ; it could not have taken place aside from His omnipotence.

Your fullest consolation will be found in a loving faith in that Divine love, which is strong enough to inflict suffering when suffer- — be made the minister of grace.

raying thatGod may give you grace to patieatly endure this great affliction, We remain, Yours fraternally, W. W. Brewer. BexJ. BREMNER. L. E Prowse. James CARRUTHERS. Committee. G. Frank Beer, N. G. GEORGE WALLER, R. 8S.
