Judge Mullins Opinion.
II believe that public officials cannot
violate their trusts with impunity and
that there is certainly lodged some
where in the law of this land the
power that will stay them If there is
reasonable ground to believe that they
are acting through corrupt and I'M
proper motives and that will punish
them il they insist in their wrongdoing
ut is urged that there is no remedy
Tor these evils save that of public
opinion and redress at the ballot box
Those are means that afford but slim
consolation to the community when
their common property has been made
quately disposed Of"
The ordinance which was passed
over Judge Mullins injunction grants
the Denver City Tramway company
franchise to run for twenty years and
permits the collection of a five cent
fare OIL all the street car lines of the
city for that period. Efforts were made
by a minority of the board Of aldermen
to correct these features of the bill. but
the majority refused to permit any
changes to be made.

NJ. Binder added fuel to the flame by
charging that the minister of justice

declared that an attempt had been
made to magnify simple case Of
swindling into political question and
reminded the chamber that Frederick
Humbert was Boulangist deputy.

the members of the Right, above the

the hustling and shouting increased in
violence. Deputy Content and Premier

STORMS DEATH TRACK.
Wide Devastation In Shippiag 81
Nova scotia.


Nova scotia.
Halifax, N. s., Dec. 8.-The violent
storm which has swept over the Nova
Scotia coast caused many marine dis
asters and considerable loss of life.
The wind blew forty-Hve miles an
hour, accompanied by sleet and snow,
with the temperature below the freez-
ing point.
Nine schooners broke their anchor
chains in Sydney harbor and Were
dashed ashore. Most of them were
Newfoundland fishermen, and some Of
them will be total loss. The crews
Of several Of them had narrow escapes,
but all made a'landing in safety.
The worst wreck reported so far is
that of the American schooner Lucinda
A. Lowell. She was bound from Bay
of Islands, N. B., for Gloucester with Il
cargo of salt herring and struck Oh a
ledge of rocks. She hung fast. with the
seas breaking over her. The crew suf-
fered terribly from the cold until res
cued. The six survivors, including
Captain Roderick Mcneil, were brought
to Canso by the fishing steamer Active,
Captain Morris, which went to their
assistance when the dismasted wreck
was sighted.
Captain Mcneil reports that the gale
came up so suddenly he was unable to
clear the coast and, finding himself
among the breakers, LET go the anchors.
They did not hold. The masts were
then cut away to ease the vessel, and
then the anchors took bottom. A fall
ing spar struck the mate, George Rob
erts, killing him instantly. His body
remains OH the wreck. One of the sail
ors, Peter Fougre of st. Peters, c. B.,
was drowned in the breakers in an at
tempt to reach shore.
A report from Sydney that the Brit
ish steamer Harlaw has been lost with
all hands has caused great excitement
