FOREIGN NEWS.



Tnrkev and Seryia have agreed upon terms
of peace. The main points are the efecuoh
of new Notifications in Servia; hosting the
Turkish flag side by side with that OF Servia
I'm cxistinp forts; and recognition OF equal
RIGHTS of Jews and Christians in Servia. The

There is no truth IN the report that the Rus
sian army has been ordered to Cross the Pfuth.
On the contrary, Russia is giving the most
pacific assurances, and evidently wants to
avoid conflict. What she wants is some
moral satisfaction such as recognition
by Europe of her sacrifices on behalf of the
Bulgarian and other Christians in Turkish
territory. With this, she Is willing that Tur.
key shall have six months or year TO carry
out her promised reforms, failing TO do
which, the powers should agree to apply
measures Of coercion. This accOrds with
Lord Derbys suggestion TO give Turkey a
year time, which seems to meet with general
approval in England. On the other hand
Turkey expresses her willingness to give all
the guarantees asked by the conference If she
fails to carry out her promised reforms in
three years. So for the present the question

The entertainment given by Billy Emerson at
the Opera House, on last Tuesday evening, was
rather disappointment to his many admirers
IN this city The music, both vocal and nstru.
mental, was good, rather above the average in
some particulars, but like Samuel, both Emerson
and Norton hewed Agdg in pieces most horribly.
The second part of the programme was worse
than the first, the major part OF it being as old
as Babylon. Wash. Norton rather redeemed
this part from utter tcdiousncss by his imper-
sonations toward the close, but his rudy voice
took most Of the life out Of it. Emerson is, or
was, a trst-class star, but just now seems to be
travelling more upon his reputation than on any
real merit of his show; he is evidently too tired
to go to work on tip top programme, which is
impossible with the company he has with him.

Painful Accident.

An almost fatal accident occurred at the
Starch Works on last Saturday morning in
which Thomas Lunncy was the sufferer. He
was striving to shift the betting regulating the
notion OF pump which raises the starch from
reservoir to the conducting pipe, which carries
il to another part OF the building. Instead of
using the shifter he made use of a hammer he
had III his hand. Unfortunately, however, this
did not do the work, but on the contrary, his
arm and shoulder were drawn in between the
eight inch leather betting and the wheel. His
body proved stronger than the betting, which
broke, dropping him down to the light scaiFord-
in, he had stood upon. This was scarcely more

stays he would have fallen - or - feet below

MAYOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in to-day's FREE
TRADER will be seen the announcement Of the
dissolution of the firm OF Lynch & Beatty, and
in connection with it, the announcement Of
Mayor Lynch, that as this change will necessi-
tate his closer attention to business hereafter, he
can accept no more public offices at the hands
of the people, Mr.. Lynch having, as most of our
people know, served them for years with very
notable ability and faithfulness in the var)u po-
sitions of supervisor, alderman, and for the last
year of Mayor. The resolution of Mr.. Lynch in
the matter, though doubtless dictated by sound
business considerations, involves matters over
which citizens Ol his grade and position, II must
be borne in mind, are not always privileged to
consult their own pleasure. Believing that the
fttest Iaen for office always those who never
seek office, the other part Of the proposition
should also be true, that men who never seek
ought not to decline office. The people Of OF
tawa have never elected 10 Office man who in
every position he held, has served them with
more zeal and ability, and though there may be
others equally honest and capable, they are not
plenty, and should the people be unable TO find
them, whether for supervisor, MAJOR or high
er position, Mr. Lynch. "nor any other man,
will be allowed to decline when the public good
demands his services.

Gone TO rest--our loving sister
From the earth has passed away;
She has done with all things human,
Laid aside her form OF clay.
Gone to rest, how sweet her sumber
No more anguish more moan;
Gone to Join the happy number
OF the Saints around the Throne
Gone to rest-by friends surrounded.
Mid the scenes she loved the best;
God's rich mercy was unbounded,
Calling her thus home to rest.
Gone to Resin that old mansion,
Where her happest years were passed:
Joy was hers in full expansion,
That those scenes should be her last.
Gone to rest-her eyelids closing
with fsi.h in God profound,
And with od-time friends reposlng
In the pleasant burial ground.
Gone to rest-bright angels greet her
With sweet songs OF JOY and love;
Friends, dear friends, may we all meet her
In that heavenly home above. J.J. ID.
