a little incident peculiarly illustrative Of
the commercial spirit Of the age and the
prevailing desire to accumulate money IN
the shortest possible time. occurred in this
city q few days ago.
a certain gentleman, descendant OF a
race noted for it's acquisitiveness disposed Of
lot on one Of the prominent streets of the
town. at q good, round figure. On the lot
stood a house, d frame stfuctrre, OF no
particular value, and this the purchaser OF
the ground did not want, audit was not in
cluded in the sale. As the new owner of the
lot objected to its remaining on the ground
the owner OF the building looked around
for q purchaser and soon found one. The
house was torn down and removed for the
lumber it contained. just as the last load
was hauled way, the man VIC sold the
property remembered hat q short time
before he had placed q new sidewalk in
front OF the lot. and as he had not been
paid for the walk by the purchaser OF the
lot, he concluded to realize something on
that also, and sold it to one of the
carpenters who had torn down the house,
receiving $40 for it. The carpenter at once
began to remove his purchase and had
almost completed the task when Marshal
Macarthur appeared on The ground aud
made him desist aud also put the walk
back where it was.
Some of the neighbours have observed
that an clubhouse on the lot casts a toler-
ably heavy shadow these sunny days and
1 ey suggest that in case the house was not
included in the deed to the ground, the
owner mish realize something by selling
the shade to the boys who gather to play
in it daily.

MORE FISHERIES TROUBLES.
This Time 1t is Between the French and
the British.

HALIFAX, May 21.-Advices from the
bay of st. George, N. F., state that the
disputes between the Newfoundland aud
the French fishermen ON the French shore
question, has nearly reached a crisis.
The commander Of the British war ship
Lille issued II proclamation t. the effect
that he would not permit the Newfuund-
land fishermen TO set nets to catch herring,
and If they did SO, he would confiscate
then. An indignation meeting was held at
which strong language WAS used. The Rev.
DR.. Homley told the commander OF the
British war ship that he was there with the
apparent mission OF protecting the French
instead OF British colors. The commander
replied that he was carrying out his in
struCtiOns from the imperial government,
and added that he took but little stock in
The inhabitants or in the Newfoundland
government.
The proclamation, which was posted up
IN public places, was quickly torn down by
The people.
The French are given concurrent rights
by the treaty to that part of New Found
land, but claim exclusive jurisdiction. and
now that they can get bait in other pnr-
tons of New Foundland, they are assert
ing their claims of exclusiveDess in the Bay
Ut. George, and supplying themselves with
oalt there. This prevents the British from
getting fish, which would of course inter-
iere with the French, and the British war
salps there prevent any i reference. The
people threaten to use rifles to enforce
thelr rights. They say they will either do
tAat or abandon that portion of the British
empire to the French.
Blo"Gshed is predicted.
