A STRANGE STORY.
A Father Returns After an Absence Of
Nearly Twenty Years.


TORONTO November l9.-About eighteen
wears sgo there lived in the Scotch Block,
nine miles from Hamilton, farmer named
Andrew PorteOus. His wife left him and
ran off with another man, having frst strip
ped his house Of all effects OF value. She
went away with a young man who was en-
gagged 10 one of the handSomest girls in the
township of AncaSter. A well to-do farm
er, named Moffat, allowed his daughter
Mary TO go and keep house for Porteous
with the result that in the course OF
time the young houSekeeper bore q
daughter 10 Porteous. Porteous was COM
pelIed to leave the township in
consequence and went away to CAlitornia.
Nothing was heard OF him for years. At
last he heard that his wife was dead and ne
returned to Canada, intending TO make
Mary Moffatt his wife and atone Tor the
wrong he had done her. He came as far
as Hamilton during the Great Central fsir,
went into Davy Whites hotel on John
street, met an old neighbor and learned
from him that, the mother OF BIS
child was married and living in Caledonia.
He felt so bad at the news that he never
went to see them, but picked up and left
again.

was visiting a neighbor. The girl was there
doing the hOusework. She was told two
men wished to see her. She would not re-

In a few miAutes she was introduced TO her

and after few minutes conversation lett,
telling her he had lots more OF money Tor

WASHINGTON, d. c., November l9-Tle
argument of the Metropolitan Industrial
League before the Tariff Commission, by
c. 5. HILL, of the State Department has
lust been issued from the Government
printing office in a volume of 200 pages,
supplied with diagrams showing the degree
of influence that several conditions affect
ing the results Of the tariff have in the
principal countries of the world. Mr..
Hill recommends reduction and abolition
of the duplex system in cotton goods,
an increase of rates in hemp, jute and fax,
protection to American wines and braAdies
against foreign adulterations, material
changes in rates on metals and minerals,
ana that duty of 81 per ton be placed on
iron ore, and slight notifications in bread
stuffs, provisions and animals. The exist
ing average rates on sugar are generally en-
do-sed, but the abolition of duplex rates is
strongly urged. Protection to silk culture
and reeliDg, and also commencing the
abolition of the duty on lumber, was like
wise advanced.
In wool and wooden goods a simplifying
and consistent change from the duplex
system TO an advalOrem rate is recommend
ed. A duty of 10 per cent on quinine is
advised. To the free list are added twenty
five articles heretofore rated, among which
are spirits of turpentiDe, crude saltpetre.
rosin, ashpaltum and nitrate of lead. All
the changes recommended in internal
revenue taxes involve the abolition of tax
on most articles now specified. Refer
ring 10 the revival of our merchant marine,
Mr., Hill saws in our industries at home, as
we'll as in our credit abroad, there is no
source of personal employment and ma
tional pride so great as ship building. Let
Congress properly give subyention to our
mail transports, and the demand for Anne
rican- built ships will Immediately prove
the fallacy and absurdity Of imPutation
that Americans cannot build ships, and
the foolish assertion that a tariff Of FIVE
per cent. of the ships cost for crude ma
terial, could affect the conditions OF our
shipping community.

PITTSBURGH, November 19.-The neigh
borhood of Driftwood and Beuezette, in
the lumber region Of Elk county, has, for
the past twelve months, been infested with
a gang of highwaymen and thieves who
have struck terror to the hearts of the en-
tire population. The cars of the Allie
gheny Valley railroad have for some
months been their chief objects of pluR-
der, and their depredations became 30 bold
that for time 1t was not considered safe
to travel by that route. The scene of their
exploits was in dense forest in the noun
tains, some six miles away from habita-
ton, and from accounts given, the gang
comprised some thirty stalwart men. They
became so troublesome that a detective,
Cap.. Hugh Daley, of this city, was called
into service, and to him is due their cap
ture. Daley has been tracing them
through the woods since the 10th Of las.
month, but only found their hiding place on
Thursday of last week. Some time ago the
men got possession of the car and switch
keys Of Mr.. Angel. the dispatcher of the
low grade division at Driftwood, and were
about preparing to swoop down upon an
other train. Besides this wholesale work
with the company'S property, they thought
nothing of capturing any wayfaring indi-
vidual who might come in the vicinity Of
their camp, knocking him down and rob-
bling him of all he possessed. Upon find
ing their retreat Officer Daley came to this
city and secured posse. of men, and on
Friday at midnight he succeeded in making
the capture. There were thirty men asleep
in the forest camp, but they were success
fully landed in the Jail at Driftwood. The
people in the neighbour ood are in ecstacies
over the arrest, and very lengthy term in
the penitentiary will undoubtedly be meas.
ured out to them at the proper time.

husband down the road with load
of stone, came to her in the barn vhere
she was gathering eggs, and then and there,
against her will, accomplished his licen-
tious purpose. Upon the return Of her
husband, she said nothing Of what had
transpired In his absence, nor did she di-

Arrival OF Remains OF Bishop Aailan-
diers az vinseanes, Ind.
NNcEENKs, November I9.-The early
train from New York, this morning, ar
rived with the remains OF ex-Bishep Celes-
tine, G. De La Hailandiere, who died at
Cobsurg, France Brittany May 1st last,
at the age of eighty-three years. Bishop
Chatard directed that the remains be placed
in the chapel, there TO remain till the bu-
rial Wednesday. Bishop Hailandiere was
remarkable man. When thirteen years
OF age he abandoned his secular life and
entered the priesthood, and was brought
10 this country from Brittany in 1885 by
Bishop Brute, who had been appointed
Bishop of the newly erected See of Vim
cennes, and who had gone to France for
workers. Brute appointed him his vicar,
and, himself being in i'll health,
secured the appointment of Hallandiere as
his Coadjutor, with the right of succession.
Bishop Brute died in 1910, while his Coad-
jutor was in France. Hailandiere took
charge of the diocese at once, building up
the church in Indiana and Illinois, but re-
signing in 1S47 on account of i'll health.
During his bishopry he caused the Endists
to found College OF the Brothers OF the
Holy Cross in this city, and built for the
Sisters of Providence the first academy at
st. Mary's of the Woods, now the mostcele-
brated institution in America. Bishop
Hsilandiere assisted at the conservation OF
his successor, DR.. Brain, and quietly re-
tired to his family place in Cobourg. 1t was
through his energy and foresight that the
Diocese OF Vincennes acquired the vast
amount OF real estate it now owns. At one
time he owned in his own right a major
portion Of the city of Indianapolis. The
deceased was buried in the parish church
at Cobourg, May Sth, the Archbishop Of
Rennes presiding over the obsequies. Next
Wednesday his remains will be laid IN the
vault beneath the altar in st. Francis
Xayier's Cathedral in this city, alongside Of
those Of his predecessor, Brute, his sue
cessor, Bazin, and the lamented st. Palais.
