Not one of the fines im- posed was paid. wy Corner Stone.—The blessing of the new church at Rogerville, N. B., and the bazar and picnic in aid of the same, will take place on the 15th and 16th August. Further par- ticulars later on. a Nor an Istanprer.—It is now pretty well settled that the§Jman Kinney§ or McKimmie who was murdered at Ellsworth, Me., last week, is not an Islander but? a Pictonian, For a time there was a doubt as to where the man belonged, and of course the Island got the benefit of the doubt. ——_ ——— Dewtat.--The Halifax Mail of Saturday contains a letter from Emily Dillman, the leading witness in the Preeper trial, in which she emphatically denies that she wrote the letters saying her story at the trial wasa fabrication. The general impression is that the letters are forgeries. —_———_@———— Arter Damaces.—A short time ago a horse owned by Mark Wilson, butcher, fell into one of the waterworks excavations and was killed. Mr. Wilson consulted Messrs Peters & Peters on the subject of damages, and as a result the City Council were last evening notified that Mr. Wilson wanted $100 for the killed animal. The letter is now in the hands of the W ater Commissioners, and they will probably compromise matters with Mr. Wilson. - To CorresponpEeNts.—We have received some communications anent the heterodox ideas propounded by Mr. Charles Watts—all of which we decline with thanks. To our orthodox correspondents we suggest that it seems hardly fair to attack a controversialist who is absent; to the heterodox we submit that as most of our people think that the firm- er their belief in Christianity the happier and better they are, it is not expedient to try to de- stroy their faith. At any rate, THe Exam- INER is a secular newspaper. deuce OppreLLows’ Excurstoyx.—The Oddfellows of this city purpose having a grand Excursion to Pugwash, N. S., on Monday, July 23rd. The steamer will leaye Steam Navigation Co's. wharf at about 8 o'clock, a.m., and ar- rive back about 10 p.m. A most enjoyable time is anticipated, as the sail to Pugwash is both varied and pleasant, and the surround- ings in this portion of Nova Scotia exceedingly picturesque. Tickets will be issued in a few days, and will be sold at a nominal sum. The advertisement will soon appear, and in the meantime it will be well for pleasure seekers to keep the Pagwash excursion in mind. ae Tae Home Lisrary AssocraTIon.—Among the many new and ingenious methods of —< ing standard literature within the reach of all people, and of enabling persons of slender means to obtain a library at a small cost, the method devised and adopted by the Home Library Association of Chicago seems the most advantageous, practical and effective which we have yet seen. This method does away with the profits of wholesale, retail and jobbing merchants, and places the advantage with the people. A representative of the Association is at present in this city, and will spend a few days in calling upon our citizens, and soliciting members. enteiaaiih Two Svccestioxs.—It is suggested that other races should be held on Summerside Driving Park on the day on which the match between “Hernando” and ‘ Black Pilot” will take place. Thousands will, no doubt, attend that race and it seemsa pity that while there are plenty of fast horses through- out the Province the fua should end with the great stallion race. A lively race might be had in the 2.40 class. Another suggestion is that special precaution be taken to prevent the supply of either intoxicating liquors or exhilarating fluids to those who attend the race. In these days of “free rum” men are apt to take too much whea excited. enone Asorner Bear Story.—The Souris cor- respondent of the Summerside Pioneer states that the largest bear ever killed at East Point was shot a few days ago by Mr. R. N. Mac- dougald, of East Lake. Bruin had been feast- ing on spring lamb, ete., for several days, and finally the neighbors turned out and hunted the intruder down te a point where the Lake was on the one side and the North Shore on the other. Men were stationed in various positions, and the bear, seeing that his escape was cut off, made a dash for a solitary grove of bushes. Mr. Macdougald, having his shot gun charged with three slugs, and being in @ position about fifty yards from the fleeing culprit, raised his piece and fired, one slug hitting him in the ear and the other back of the shoulder opposite the heart. The animal gained the woods, but there dropped dead. —-—@———— Apvick to Morners.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth.

Law- son, Home Ruler, asked whether the gov- ernment would grant the appointment of a committee to enquire into charges against the leaders of the Nationalist party. In reply, Hon. Mr. Smith said the House was incompetent to inquire into the charges. The proper inquiry could be obtained through the proper tribunals. Mr. Parnell later gave notice that on Thursday he would submit a motion for the appointment of such a committee, and will also ask the government to appoint a day to discuss the subject and give him an opportunity to repeal the foul and unfourlded charges made against him by Attorney-General Webster. NOVA SCOTIA NEWS. nr wee Important Discovery. a Hauirax, July 9. Mrs. Ritchey and Ex-Governor and Bishop Courtney sailed for England on the Parisian. The ex-Governor will spend a year in Europe. Another very important find of coal has just been made at Springhill by under- ground manager Swift. A company is being formed to test the extent and value of salt deposits in Cum- berland. The Lewis Peg Factory burned at Truro last week by an incendiary, is being re- built. It was the only industry of the kind in Canada. A Serious Charge. Lonpon, July 9. In announcing the death of Mr. Mande- ville, Mr. O’Brien declared in the Commons to-day that Mandeville had been murdered by British treatment in Tullamore prison. He was kept many days on bread and water and would have died of starvation but for the compassion of the officers in giving him some scraps of food. He never recovered from his suffering under that treatment. O’Brien asked Balfour what the official in- formation was with regard to the death of Mandeville and whether the Government would take measures to secure an adequate enquiry into the cause of his death. Balfour replied that the existing system of law was sufficient to ensure proper in- quiry, if any was necessary. O’Brien considered the reply unmeaning and evasive. He stated he would renew the question on Thursday. If he found the Government were not making a searching inquiry into the matter, he would challenge the opinion of the House with regard to it. Ottawa News. Orrawa, July 9. Hon. Geo. E. Foster left to-day for the Maritime Provinces. It is understood he will take a hand in the Cumberland cam- paign. Sir John Macdonald left for New Bruns- wick this evening. He is accompanied by Lady Macdonald and his private secretary, Mr. Pope. The decision of the Privy Council refus- ing the appeal in the Glengarry election case has been gererally anticipated since the argument of the ease. Reports from theGulf indicate that shoals of mackerel this year are scarce, owing to the prevailing east wind. When the cold winds disappear the fish are expected to appear in large numbers. Disastrous Storm. Kansas Crry, Mo., July 9. The most disastrous storm for years raged from 9 o’clock last night until 12. During the height of the storm, 18th Street for seven blocks became a turbulent river, which flooded the houses tothe depth of two feet at 23rd and Vine Streets. A 15-foot culvert was inadequate to carry the immense volume of water which backed up, carrying away two houses, the inmates of which were only rescued with great diffi- culty. Reports of deatu and destruction are numerous. It is reported that a family of four named Williams were washed away and drowned. So far no bodies have been recovered. Royal Accident. Darostapt, July 9. As Prince Alexander, of Battenburg, late ruler of Bulgaria, was driving from Heileg- enburg into Stett Bach Valley, yesterday, his horse shied and the carriage was hurled from the road down the mountain side. Alexander was thrown out and fell 40 feet. He grasped some shrubs and escaped with slight injuries. His horse was terribly mangled and killed. The carriage was dashed to pieces. British Parliament. Lonpon July 9. Hon. Mr. Smith stated in the Commons to-day that the Government will decline to give a day for discussion of Parnell’s motion.
