A Patent Medicine Firm Accused of
 UndeFValuatfOu.

MONTREAL, June Hast week the cus- toms authorities here seized large consign- ment of patent medicines from the establish ment of J. c. Aver & Co.,, Lowell, Mass. An investigation has been going on for the purpose of showing that for the last ten or fifteen years this firm has, by underwriting their consignments, defrauded the Cana dian revenue out of large sums of money; indeed, it is. claimed by the officers here that. they have succeeded in proving that at least $25, ,000 year has been lost in this manner. The firm defend their action by saying that the medicines were not com pounded, and were therefore sent in bulk and valued merely at cost. An old employe of the firm testified, however, that the goods were compounded and ready for sale at price 50 per cent. higher than they were in- voiced at. This witness, who is named Young, gave some most extraordinary evil dence, and swore that in order to prevent his coming to Canada to testify he was arrested at Nashua, N H., locked up for ten hours without any charge, and after he had been searched from head to foot, was liberated and advised to return to Lowell, Mass. The goods now under seizure are valued at over S1 50 GOO

The Engineers story of a Brakeman

lfron the LocomotlveJ
 Several years ago was running fast ex- press. One night we were three hours be- hind time, and if there is anything in the world hate it's to finish run behind schedule. Those grade crossings of one horse roads are nuisances to the trunk lines, and we had g habit of failing to stop, merely stacking up for lem. At one crossing had. never seen train at that time of night, and so rounded the curve cut of the cut at full tilt was astonished to see that freight train was standing right over the crossing evidently intending so put few cars on our switch. l gave the danger whistle and tried to stop my train, but I had seven heavy sleepers on and we just slid down that grade spite of everything could do. Quicker than l can tell you, the brakeman on that freight train uncoupled car just back of our cross ing and signaled his engineer to go ahead, which he did sharply, but barely in time to let us through, in fact the pilot of my engine took the buffer off the rear car Through that little hole we slipped, and lives and property were saved. Now that brakeman was only common railroader, yet he saw that situation at glance. There wasn't time to run his whole train off the crossing nor even half of it-barely time to pull up one car length by prompt, quick work He kept his wits about him as, I venture to say, not one man in 8 thousand would have done, and he saved my reputation, if not my life He IS now a division superintendent on one of the best roads in the country"

FUNERAL OF VICTOR HUGO.

Thousands Throng The Streets of Paris-Red Flags Out But No Disturbance of Moment.
 PARIS, June 1.-The streets and avenue in the vicinity of the Arc de Triomphe,
 where Victor Hugo's body lay in state, were thronged all night. After midnight rain fell steadily, but this circumstance did not ap- parently diminish the enormous crowd.
 Toward morning great deal of revelry was indulged in, men and women singing and dancing on the pavements in all directions. Good humor prevailed, however, and police interference went no further than an occa- sional warning to some knot of roysterers little noisier than the rest. Shortly before 10 o'clock this morning prominent persons di- rectly connected with the ceremonies of the day began to arrive. Previous to the move ment of the procession several speeches were made. These were interrupted by voices from the crowd at times, but the interrup- tions were few and of character not calcu- lated to excite the passions of the Anarchists present. At 11:20 precisely the procession started for the Pantheon. The day was warm, the sun shining brilliantly. As the cortege moved the throng fell into line with out demonstration and everything was quiet and orderly. Just before the pro- cession left the Arc de Triomphe, few per sons who attempted to carry red flags were arrested. This was done so quietly by the police that the incident was not noticed by most of those present. The funeral process sion, owing to the almost unprecedented throng which lined the streets, moved slow ly. The catafalque bearing the remains ar rived at the Pantheon at 9 o'clock. The cere- monies were begun at once and proceeded without interruption to their close. The dense mass of people in the Pantheon listened to the address with respectful attention, and order was maintained without any effort on the part of the authorities. The ceremonies were concluded at o'clock A large num- Der are reported to have been hurt during the progress of the funeral cortege At many points on the route the spectators be- came panic stricken at the fearful crash, and in their efforts to free themselves many wo- men and children were injured.
 M. Allain Targe, minister of the interior, said tonight in reply to reporters query that in spite of the vast concourse of people in the principal streets of Paris to-day there had been but few casualties reported by the police. In cases where the police acting un- der their general instructions attempted to seize red flags the owners destroyed the en- blens rather than surrender them. The po- lice were cautioned by an order issued this morning to use moderation and in many cases they refrained from making arrests where they would have been technically jus fled in doing so. This leniency left the ex- tremists very little opportunity for provok- ing disturbances At the close of the cere- monies the people in the neighborhood of the Arc de Triomphe made 8 rush which the police were powerless to resist and seized and bore away the decorations as mementoes of the occasion.

money when he paid for his drink. The un- suspect1ng man left the house and went on
 hls way. Soon after, under cover of the darkness, he was assaulted and killed. After rifing the corpse the murderers threw the body of the unfortunate victim into we'll. The girl, who had been a witness of her fathers murder, returned to the house where her father had stopped, and informed the owner of what had occurred. He told the girl to keep quiet, and persuaded her to stay at his place during the night, and he would see what could be done in the morning. Hardly had he and his wife time to put the girl to bed with his own daughter, a girl of the same age, before the murderers returned
 The kobachnik (saloon keeper) acquainted them of the girls return, whereupon they avowed their intention of completing their bloody work by cutting the throat of the in- nocent child. The kobachnik objected to this mode of dispatching the girl, as the body might be discovered, and be an easy means of identifying him as an accessory to the murder of her and her father. He proposed to burn her alive in the bread oven
 To this the others consented, and accor- dingly he ordered his wife to prepare for the burning of the girl. When the oven was ready he directed his accomplice to take the girl, who was lying on the outside of the bed, with yellow handkerchief bound around her head, and throw her into the oven. At the same time he cautioned them to be quick in their work in order to prevent her making an outcry. The girl, nervous and agitated by the dreadful work of the night, had not gone to sleep. She breathless- ly listened to the preparation of her own murder. Quietly rising from the bed, she looked about for means of escape, but she saw none except window, which was fast ened with large nail, the only other means of exit being the door through which she had been brought, and which led directly to the room the murderers were in
 The error-stricken girl looked about in hopes of finding some weapon of defense to use as last resort. There was nothing in the place but cup filled with water. h. voluntarily she grasped it, then laid it down. Suddenly an idea seemed to seize her. Turn ing toward the bed she united the yellow handkerchief about her head and tied it on that of her sleeping companion, taking care to draw it well down on her face so as to conceal the features. Then grasping the sleeping girl by the shoulder, she rolled her over till she rested on the front of the bed Then the desperate girl crawled over to the inside and waited. The murderers, acting on the description given by the kobachnik, seized the girl with the yellow handkerchief over her face and threw her in the oven After completing their terrible work they went to sleep, thus giving the other girl a chance to escape. She immediately made her way to town and gave information to the police. No time was lost and a posse of officers, under the guidance of the girl, soon had the rlurderers in custody.
