| Her Father Turned Her Out.

BECAUSE SHE LOVED THE SON OF HIS ENEMY AND SHE DIED IN AN AWFUL WAY. A Washington letter says :—News of a tragedy comes from Bruceville, a suburb of | Alexandria, Va., which in dramatic incident probably surpasses anything yet produced ‘upon the stage or related by author. | A family by the name of Davis lived upon the outskirts of Bruceville, the father,John Davis, running a number of lime kilns upon his place. Near the Davises lived a family named Ciark. Between the heads of the two families there was a long existing feud, dating from away back before the war, when the two families took opposite views on some small matters which were being discussed in those days, such as the aboli- tion of slavery, etc.

Little Mary Davis was the second eldest daughter of the lime burner, anda very pretty girl. She fell in love with a son of Clark, named Frank. The two carried on their courtship with the implied sanction of their mothers, notwithstanding the fact of the fathers being such bitter enemies, and the mothers, in fact, not speaking to each other. Meeting clandestinely, and carry- ing on their little love affairs ina quiet way, the young couple escaped detection for some time, but the fate which ever hangs over persons in their position let fall its willing hand, and

THEIR SECRET WAS DISCLOSED.

Meeting Mary coming from the barn one evening recently, old man Davis told her that he had been informed of the ‘* goings on” between her and young Clark, and said thatif she persisted in meeting him he (Davis) would turn her out of doors,

That very night Mary was discovered by her father entering the house stealthily at 12 o'clock, having slipped out after the rest of the family had retired, and meeting her lover, came back home only to be discover- ed by her angry parent. ‘True to his word, old man Davis turned Mary away, and bid- ding her never to show her face at his house again, went inside and locked the loor.

This was at midnight. Repenting later of his harshness, and believing his daughter to be innocent of anything but disobedi- ence, Davis got of bed, and, telling his wife what he had done, donned his clothes, and calling his two sons, proceeded to look for Mary. The entire family searched for her all through the night, but without avail. The next morning old man Davis went to look at his kilns, and found one caved in. A horrible thought crossed his mind. He called his sons and together they ‘‘ seatter- ed” the kiln. Sure enough, their worst fears were realized; they discovered the

REMAINS OF A HUMAN BEING

is the kiln, and they were those of Mary.

Whether the girl had jumped into the kiln intent on suicide or whether she had lain down upon it to keep warm (the night being bitter cold) no one knows. The lat- ter explanation is generally accepted as the most likely, however, considering subse- quent developments. It appears that the girl was married to young Clark a week ago Wednesday, and it is not considered pro- bable that she would commit suicide under these circumstances. It is generally thought that, Davis’ home being several miles away from any other habitation. Mary after being turned away by her father went to one of the kilns, and, lying down upon it, the kiln caved in and cre- mated her.

Young Clarke coming to the Davis house the morning after the occurrence, seeking his wife, learned of her awful death and the circumstances attending it. Drawing a revolver, he shot old man Davis dead, the latter never offering any resistance, saying as he fell : ** [deserved it.” Clark then fled, and has not been seen since, although if he remained he would probably have escaped punishment. Mrs. Davis, the mother of the girl, has gone raving mad and been taken co an asylum.

Thus through one man’s thoughtlessness was caused a series of tragedies, including in its list the death of 4 father and daugh- ter, hopeless insanity of a mother and the placing of the mark of murder on a young man, who, but a few days since, was happy in the possession of a young and beautiful bride.

Royal Persons.

The little King of Spain isa constant source of disturbance in the Royal Palace at Madrid. A few days ago he was lost for hours and, as has been related, was finally found ina cupboard. Not long after he was taking his midday repast of bread and milk. Not liking the flavor of the milk he suddenly seized the dish and poured its contents over the nurse who was feeding him. Then his Majesty laughed in a mocking haughty way, and ran off to play with his toys.

The two cleyerest and most highly educated women in Europe are said to be the Empress Victoria of Germany and the Queen of Italy. The Empress Victoria is a brilliant conversationalist, but is not as witty as Queen Margherita. The former, however, is possessed of a knowledge of scientific subjects most remarkable for a woman. She is able to converse learnedly with such men as Virchow and Von Helmhciz, and her comprehension of her husband’s case has awakened wonder among his physicians.

While Emperor Frederick, then the Crown Prince, was at San Remo, he was much amused at efforts of journalists to ‘obtain news regarding his condition. On the first day on which his larynx was examined, after tracheotomy had been ‘performed, he turned to Sir Morell Mac- 'kenzie and said good naturedly: ‘‘Sir ‘Morell, will you please close the blinds of the window which faces the Hotel dela 'Mediterranee, or Iam sure that the young

Fereign Contract Labor. —_——_— TTS IMPORTATION INTO THE UNITED STATES MUST CEASE-——PRESIDENT CLEVELAND TAKES A HAND IN THE MATTER.

The United States authorities are prosecut- ing the violators of the law sgainst the importation of foreign laborers under contract, and this subject promises to be thoroughly investigated, and will probably result ina radical change in the em eae of labor in many industries. One of these industries is that of shipping crews by American fisher- men, it being stated that about 50 per cent. of the crews of shipping vessels are shipped and employed in vintation of the law. United States Attorney Galvin recently began suits against several Beverly fishermen for an alleged importation of laborers under contract, which, it is stated, will be pressed inst the party for trial. In this connection, President Cleveland has sent an autograph letter of instructions to Mr. Galvin in which he states :

“Information has reached the treasury de- partment that a large number of foreigners and aliens have lately been brought into the state of Massachusetts under contract for labor and service; and especially for the purpose of penne American fishing vessels, which are intended to be engaged in taking fish in the neighborhood of the Canadian coast. It seems quite certain that such aliens and foreigners have in some cases been brought in by the procurement of parties owning such fishing vessels in Boston and Gloucester. The impor- tation of these aliens and foreigners not only tends to the displacement of American labor, but it is positively prohibited by our laws, Penalties are provided for aiding in any way or encouraging such importation, and punish. ment as for a crime is provided for the actual bringing in of these parties. Many of these aliens and foreigners who have thus been im- porter upon vessela arriving at the port of

ton have @been returned to the country from whence they came, pursuant to the laws referred to ; and in some cases it is feared that such return has been prevented through false statements made by the parties who have thus been brought in. I desire to enjoin upon you the prompt and efficient execution of these laws by the strict enforce- ment of the penalties and punishments thereia provided. You will at once confer with the collectors of the ports of Boston and Glouces~ ter, and obtain such information teuching violations of the law mentioned as they may have at hand. The special agents who have been detailed for the investigation of these matters will be directed to report to you, and if, in the prosecution of the offenders mention- ed, you require assistance, it will be furnished you on application,”

Several suits for violation of the law were recently brought against the Bay State Brick company for the importation of Canadian Brickmakers, and were settled on the defend- ant pleading nolo contendere in one or two of them, and paying a penalty of $1,000. The penalties are very heavy.

St. Peter's Bay Notes.

Now that spring is coming the farmers of this vicinity are busily engaged in making preparations for the planting. Some fencing has already been done.

Messrs. McInnis Bros. did a good business in buying up knees during the winter and are now busily engaged in having them prepared tor the American market, where they intend shipping them as soon as navigation will per- mit.

Mr. R. J. MeDonald, of Mount Stewart, who graduated at the recent annual examin- ations of Trinity Medical College, Toronto, intends, we are glad to hear, becoming a resi- dent of this place, where he will, doubtless,

rove as successful in his profession as he did in his studies. We all join in wishing Dr. McDonald every success in his profession.

Now that the ice is melting on the Bay, numerous nets have been set in the hope of capturing some of the occupants thereof. But these enterprises have been attended with but little success. There was, however, one young man who succeeded in capturing eight smelts, plus a tom-cod, which, he said, he considered not bad for the first.

The new brick Roman Catholic Church here is, we understand, to be completed this summer, which, when finished, will be one of the best in the Province.
