THE EMPTY REVOLVER.
Usu al, it Went on when Pointed al
a Mans REeart.A

PROVIDENCE, r. L., Aug. 4, lS9t.-The
crime which Joseph Ksionzek. under arrest
in Chicopee, Mass. confesses. was commit
ted at Quidnick, June -. 1891. Ksionzek and
a number of other Poles employed at the
Quidnick Mills. were enjoying a half holt
day. They had chosen a; rendezvous just
across the river from the mill, and spent the
afternoon in drinking beer and carousing,
although it was stated at the time that none
of the party were drunk or quaIrelsome.
About seven O'Clock i'll the evening Ksionzek
and two companions walked into a doctors
Office carrying a young man about nineteen
years of age, known i'll the village as Joe,
the jew" who they said had been shot.
Ksionzek then left the office and disappeared.
The man had been shot in the abdomen, and
three hours after the shooting he died,
At the inquest which was held it was
learned from the testimony of Ksionzek's
companion that he had been going about
during the afternoon brafdishing and snap
ping a revolver which he playfully pointed
at his companions. The weapon was thought
to be empty, but when he pressed it against
the side of "Joe, the Jew" and snapped it
the weapon was discharged.
1t was shown at the inquest that there
had been NJ quarrel and nothing to Indicate
malice on the part of the homicide but the
reckless carelessness which eliminated in the
tragedy led the authorities to issue a war
rrnt for the arrest of Ksionzek.
The affair has been almost forgotten in
Quidnick and vicinity, where the shooting
occurred, and is generally regarded as hav-
ing been purely accidental.

THE INTERcoLoNIAL HUMBUG.

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. A, 1S94.-The official
report of the proceedings of the Intercolonial
Conference has been furnished to the press.
The report is verbatim and covering the pro
ceedings of the sessions makes twenty-five
solid pages of any ordinary sized newspaper.
The Globe, which has not been very enthusi-
astic over the conferences, in commenting on
the report, says the conference failed to accom-
plish anything tangible in the way either of
advancing the commercial interests of
Canada or any other part of the empire, or
of promoting that ideal of impartial unity
which we are all hungering and tnirsting
fol" Referring TO the preferential
trade project from the various points of
view in which it has been presented, the
Globe says: at is a paltry compliment to
the British flag to say that the Empire can
only be held together by cutting ourselves
loose commercially from the rest of the
world y =

NAMING BATTLEPIELDs.

1t was not Bunker Hill, but Breeds Hill
where that memorable conflict took place.
The monument stands on Breeds Hill. Bun
ker Hill is a little higher and a little more
remote. The latter was the objective point
fortified, too, by our forefathers. The
ground is likewise historic. 1t played a part
in the bloody game, but it is one of the curl
osities of historical nomenclature, of which
there are many similar examples, that the
world famous event did not in chief AXE
place On the spot that strictly bears the
illustrious name of Bunker hill. No matter,
that which we call a rose, by any other
name would smell as sweet; 2 that which we
call the battle of Bunker Hill would mean
nothing more glorious if we called it the
battle of Breeds Hill.-Boston Advertiser.

Globe Democrat from San Pedro, Mexico,
