HALIFAX N. s., July 21.-The

horrible triple murder occurred on the
night of the 18th, and the affair so far
is wrapped in complete mystery, not

other men on board at the time it oc.

the police authorities ever since the
arrival of the vessel. The crew were
brought ashore and the surviving Off.
GERS and men OF the ship are locked
behind bars in three diff fer3nt sections
of the police station. A half dozen
policemen guard them, while Monck
is inaccessible until the chief of po.
lice and detective powers have finish

taken charge of the vessel after the
tragedy, and by his orders the bodies
were placed in o9e,of the boats and
covered with tar gadllns and the boat
towed easter0 lnto Halifax harbor.
There the coroner took charge of the
remains, which were so Ar advanced
in decomposition that it was almost
impossible to remove them from the
Dat. Monks story is tnat he knew
nothing of the tragedy until notified
of it next morning by the first mate.
He admits That he heard scream dur

you were not in the heat of battle, in which

unjust to Governor Evans and have jumped

oYerestimated. The isolated lives we lead,
the meagrs opportunities for reading and
study, and the natural feeling of indepen-
dence inculcated by farm life initiate against
sociaLand intellectual progress. The inertia
of stagnation can best be overcome By or
ganization, and our lecturers can render no
more effective service than to impress upon
our farmer the individual responsibility that
rests upon them to organize. Every farmer
who is good citizen should be member of
the Farmers Alliance.
The achievement Of general benefits will
depend upon the strength and loyalty Of the
local organizations. The operation of the
alliance is unlimited in scope, except as to
its political character. The usefulness OF
the organization therefore can be abridged
only by the members themselves.
Prejudice from outside which existed from
misconception of our purposes, as well as
individual and local errors of our members,
has, believe, nearly disappeared, and the
Alliance is now more than ever regarded by
all classes of our citizens, according to its
true intent, as q patriotic organization laboring
to develop better State mentally, moral y,

standard of our people of our people in all
the qualifications of citizenship without strik-
