KnLouoH. Tuesday morning the 22d
inst, at his residence near this place,
Rev. N. @. Killough.
In the death Of Mr.. Killough this CON-
munity loses one of its oldest and best citi-
zens; his familiar face and form will be
much missed, especially at the church Of his
choice of which he had long been member
and minister. His death was very sudden,
Of heart disease, as he had for some time
anticipated. He attended church on Sunday
morning and the funeral of Mrs. Eve in the
afternoon, and worked as usual on Monday.
He retired in his usual health, awoke at six
O'Clock in the morning complaining Of not
feeling well, and in few moments was no
more. So peaceful death was fitting

CALDWELL county is obtaining bad emil
nence for mob law. Not long since man
was hung at Luling for the murder of his
wife, and a few days ago young Brown, who
killed old man Ursery few months since,
was taken from Jail by q mob at Lockhart,
shot to death and horribly mutilated. The
worst feature of these cases is that there was
little doubt but the prisoners in each case
would have been properly punished by law.
The law abiding class of immigrants will be
apt to give all such lawless communities wide

An indignation meeting was held In Toronto
Wednesday, which was composed OF the lead

the amalgamation of the Canadian Pacific and
Grand Trunk railways, which two corpora
tions now control the whole railway interests
of Ontario. There had been rumor of the
amalgamation of these two roads to form q
huge monopoly, and the meeting, in strong
measure, and will urge the government to OPP
pose it.

Tories had expressed their intention of voting
against the government on the resolution be-
fore the House of Commons to grant the Cana
dian Pacific Railway Company loan of $22,-
100000 to help it out OF its difficulty. They
are all French Canadians, and demand that
unless the government grants subsidy of $3,-
100000 to the North Shore Railway, and con-
structs railway bridge across the st. Law

government. The vote was expected to be
reached at an early hour this morning, and the
result Is anxiously looked for. Should the dis
affected ones hold out, the government will be
defeated. 1t is impossible to say how the vote

Review of Portland wholesale uarLe,


FOR THE WEEK ENDING Feb. 20.
Notwithstanding the dsagreeable weather for the
past week trade generally was much better than
our merchants had any reason to expect, and we
can safely say, that with few days Of sunshine,
very marked improvement in the volume of busis
ness would follow. good movement is reported
in Flour and prices are firm at quotations During
the early part of the week under review Pork ex-
hibited considerable strength and an advance Of
several points was established but the break in
Chicago on Monday has caused an unsettled feeling
among operators here and day the market closed
dull with downward tendency. Lard sympathizes
with Pork and prices are barely maintained. The
situation on Hog products generally is considered
strong. Western Pork packing statistics continue
to show falling off in the number of hogs packed
and the shortage for the season is about % 100000
pounds of product compared with year ago and
about 59,000,000 pounds short of the correspond
ing date two years ago, very satisfactory busi-
ness has been done in Dry Fish. the transactions
being about double compared with the previous
week; Pollock have advanced 25c but Large Bank
Cod are not worth SO much by about &c. while 9TH
kinds of fish remain at old figures. The stock of
Mackerel is light and only few barrels are in first
hands. Full prices are obtained demand moderate.

rmportant Tusurauce precision,

The following important decision has been
made by the Circuit Court of the United
States, held in Portland
This was bill in equity in the nature Of an
interpleader to determine the right of parties
to the proceeds of life policy on the life of
Capt. Arthur Parker, late of Winterport, mas
ter of the bark Marion who, with his wife
and only child, lost their lives by shipwreck in
August, 1880. The policy was made payable to
the wife unless she died before her husband, in
which case it was payable to the child. But
If both died before the father then the proceeds
should go to his administrator as a part of his
estate. The policy was assigned by Mrs. Park
er to Mrs. Harriet p. Lewis az security for a
loan made to Capt. Parker. The question now
was which died first, Capt Parker or his wife
and his child. One of the points raised by the
counsel of Mrs. Lewis was that the policy hav-
ing been made payable to the wife or assignees
unless she died before her husband, the bur-
den of proof was upon the adverse claimant to
show that she did SO die. and there being no
evidence on that point that therefore, Mrs.
Lewis, her assignee, was entitled to the money.
The court took this view of the subject, and
