BoWDoINHAM HIGHWAYMEN.
A Workman Held Up and Robbed of All
He Had.
Especial to the PRESs.)

Bowdoinham, October 31.-It is reported
that highway robbery was committed in
this village last Tuesday eveing. As Camp
bell Eaton. workman of &. and Il. W.
Fogg, was on his way home at about nine
O'Clock. on that evening. he was accosted
by two men in a team, who inquired if he
had any tobacco. On his replying that he
had, one otsthe men got out and advanced
toward him, saying as he did SO, ''lat us see
what else you have in your pockets'' and
covered him with a revolver.
AS it was lonely place, and no one on
the street at the time, Mr.. Eaton handed
over what money he had on his person, and
the men got into the team and drove off be-
fore he could give any alarm. Mr.. Eaton
had been fitting out for the woods earlier
in the evening and had spent considerable
money, but he claims having about

The Separate school Question.

Montreal, October 51.-Prenlier Greenway
and his government have given a decision
in the separate school question and the
Roman Catholics of Manitoba need no long
er look to that source for relief. The de-
cision is in answer to a memorial from the
Roman Catholics asking the government to
disallow the act abolishing the separate
schools in the province. The disallowance
of the act of 1894, as suggested by the me-
moralists. would be most unjustifable at
tempt to prevent the legislature from per-
forming that duty, judicially declared to
appertain to it. 1t may be assumed such
disallowance would call forth an emphatic
protest. The government and legislative
assembly would unitedly resist by every
constitutional means any such attempt to
interfere with their provincial autonimy."
