TOwN TALK

In this column we shall attempt
to chronicle some Of the more i'm
portant topics ofthe times as discuss
ed here and there in and about town,
on the street corners, in the stores,
the parlor, the drawing room, so
be careful what you say and do if
you don't want it preserved by the

remember hat there is a child
among you taking notes, and faith
he'll print 'em. We do not mean
to say that all the talk of the town
will find it's way into print or if we
did we would want sbsolute control
of the Government Printing Office
and all the surplus in the treasury
at our back. We simply want to
pick up the hotsam and Jetsam
of town talk as it floats down the
current of every day life, and dish
it up for your special ed~ification.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.
1t VIII be Quilted without Much Trouble.
Cause of 1t.

New YORK, March l5.-The Courier
des Etdts- Unis has the following editor
ial paragraph in regard to the French
crisis:
The ministerial crisis announced by
the dispatches from France does not APP
pear to be due to any serious perturba-
tion in the political situation and it is
probable that new cabinet will be
formed without much difficulty. The inn
mediate cause or rather the pretext,
which has brought about the fall OF NJ.
Tirard had not, as has frequent
ly happened before, any Importance OF
itself. The Interpolation made to the
Senate on the treaty of commerce made
with Turkey has only been used TO bring
about vote which really applied TO an
incident in general politics. This incl
dent was the replacing of Minister OF
the Interior ConstanS by Bourgeois, Il
Radical Republican. The Tirard Cab
net had not, so TO speak, any prominent
political color. IL was good average
business Cabinet, with little leaning
toward the left, but not enough To de-
stroy its equilibrium, and just within
the limit of the general opinion of the
majority. IL is because this limit was
passed in the installation of NJ. Bour-
geois in the place of NJ. Constans that
the Senate determined To make dem
stration against VI. Tirard."

THOSE WHO SAW HIM.
Burchen Seen Near the Place Where Ben
well Was Murdered.

WOODSTOCK, ONT, March l5.-Burch-
all has spent very quiet time since
Thursday afternoon, as all visitors who
have called have been turned away.
Yesterday Charles Buck, who lives on
lot >, Second Concession, Blenheim, half
a mile from the scene of the Benwell
murder, accompanied by detective Muir
ray, called at the Jail to identify the
prisoner.
Buck was driving home from Wood
stock on Monday, February II, the day
on which the murder is supposed TO
have been committed, and when at the
corner of the Second Concession and the
crossroads running north from East
wood, about 2:30 o'clock, he was accosted
by man who seemed to have just
turned the corner, and who was few
yards up the road leading to Eastwood.
Buck had not noticed him, and is there
fore not able to tell from which direc-
tion he came, east or west, along the
SecOnd Concession.
The stranger asked the way to Coolies,
saying, in response to Il question, that
he wanted to go to Woodstock. Buck
told him he was within one and half
miles of Eastwood. so that it was not
necessary to go to Coolies if he wished
to reach Woodstock The man was of
medium size, about feet S or Q inches
in height, dark complexion and dark
mOuStache, and wore a sort Of peaked
fur or skin cap and IA short sack coat
of blush color. He thinks his pants
were checked or striped and rolled up.
His feet were muddy. as if he had been
walking. The spot is about three
miles from the scene of the murder.
Burchell was brought out of his cell
into Il corridor aud confronted by Buck.
As soon as the latter saw the prisoner,
although his clothes were different, he
recognized him as the stranger who ac-
cOSted him on the road. A fur cap
which was found in Burchell's baggage
was placed on the prisoners head, and
this completely satisfied Buck, whc eX-
claimed: 'YeS, that's the man." Buck
then explained that the coat which
Burchel wore when he saw him first
was a sack ceat of a blush color, such
as the coat belonging to Burchell which
the detective has in custody.
Detective Murray also saw Miss Ellen
Fallon and Thomas Dunn, the Grand
Trunk agent at Eastwood. Dunn de-
MED that gun case had been left at
that station. MY books show that no
baggage was put off here OF any king
between February Is and II. II that
gun case was put off here, as they say,
then all have to remark is that it must
have melted the moment it struck
town."
