But notwithstanding this fact the fields have a more thrifty appearance than niual, while the root growth, which the froit of ooirse has not checked, is stronger and are vigorous than it has been for years. Tbe fine soaking rains, the like of hioh we hive not had for ears, bare come jut at the right time, which accounts for the promising appearance of the grain despite so much other unfavorable weather. The warm weather we are cow having is making a great change in tM appearanoe of both grain and grass, and lioukl it continue, ahicb is more than probable, the middle of next month will doubtless see the crops ahead of anything we hare had for years.

A meeting of the market, license and health committee was held yesterday afternoon, when the following members were present: Aldermen Fletcher (acting chairman), McKcnzle, Taylor and McMicken. A batch of complaints ft to tbe manner in which tbe scavenging contract was being carried out was laid on the.

table by the inspector, and laying alocgaide them was the monthly pay sheet of the contractors, tmountins to $1,070. A vigorous discussion MeKensie especially being animated. He rlalnly Uld the committee that the fact of ao many complaints being made indicated a scsndalout neglect cn the part of aoneone. Thfl alderman was inclined to blsmv the iniix.tor, and spoke cf that tffioer ia emphatic terms, even Mating that bis sHnulJ be asked for, and charactering that officer's certificate of the contractor's menthly account in terms more emphatic than parliamentary. Aid.

Taylor and McMlekea thought the inspector was trying to do bis duty, but were of opinion that the contractors did as little as possible. Complaints sh' uld not be necessary, and something mutt be done to assure a better fulfilment of the contract It was decided to refer the complaints and account to the solicitor, with a view of ascertaining if tbe contract can be annulled, or at least secure some remedy to the city. THE FlllsT EXtCBSlOX. Hewn the EUtr on the Steamer Anttlspe Fader the Autplres or SItnaehshn Lodges Ihe steamer Antelope vat well filled by tbe members of Mincehabi lodge, No. 7, I.O.O.F., on its first exeurtion down the river to Frater's grove.

The Antelope hat been improved since last year, the large room below the stem having been made to communicate with the deck by a stair, thus making the boat roomier than before. The Antelope started from tbe wharf at 8.30. The Italian city atriog hand was in attcn-dsnee. Tbe banks were lined with people who had come to see ber start on ber first exeurtion of this tcAson. Many were pre vented from taking lbs trip by the threatening aspect of the weather.

Bat towards evening it cleared up and although rather chilly everything pointed to a delightful trip. Oa arriving at the grove all went oa shore. The string band took their position in ths pavillion wbere dancing was indulged in. Many who did not care to dance around the splendid, trees for which the grove is famous. Othert walked on tbe shore or used the awingr.

The whittle of the boat blew at 10 30 and all made their way to the boat The trip was mn in about three quarters of an hour. The band played on the return and many took advantage aad uted the upper deck for dancing. All voted it a most enjoyable evening. This is the first of a series of trips which tbe Oddfellows intend making ou Captain Pater-son's boat throughout the summer. t'OLLIIO OX THE BAIL.

The Wesrivlester Loral Crashes late a Freight Ures Lost. What might have been a very serious ao-cident occurred about 10.45 o'clock this morning about one half mile oat of Hatt. ingt. The Westminster Jtrain leaving here daily at 10 a. m.

was delayed a few minute at the ttation before going out Tbe conductor and engineer rtceived orders to cross a freight train at Hastings. When they arrived at Uastings.it being an unusual occurrence to cross a train there, the orders entirely slipped their memories, and they started out Bsfore fall speed had been attained the approach of the freight train recalled the orders to thc driver's 'memory, bat unfortunately too late to prerent a collision. When the engineers of both train had reversed their levers and bad done everything in their power they jumped, and not a moment too soon. When the engines (No. 68 on the passenger train and 355 on the freight) met, the pilots, or cowcatchers at they are usually colled, gave wsy and were? splintered to firewood, the irons, bending or breaking according to their ex- rei position.

The tender cf No. 63 rushed on to the engine, and the wood was, of course, precipitated inside of the cab. Had the engineers been inside this would, no doubt, have proved fatal to them. The water tank was broken in and the freight car on the front of the train was telescoped and pushed forward on to the tender, almost completely covering it Had thit cat not been on the passenger cars would not have ocmeeffso well as they did. As it was, not one of them was injured, and, with the exception of a good shaking op, no patsesgers were hurt Oa the freight train engine 355 was disabled, the cor immediately behind the engine was broken in, while about midway back in the train a flat oar was forced through the end of an empty box car, making both ears unfit for further service.

Seme freight wss alto damaged, while the track for about fifty yards had a rather rough looking arpearaaee. About 100 yards back from the scene of the collision a bridge had been crossed over, and it is not bard to imagiae what wculi have resulted had the collision taken place there. Tbe debris was rapidly removed, and the train leaving here at 1 o'clock was only 54 minutes kept back Vancouver "erU.

At tbe close of the argument herein, Hit Lordship reserved judgment. Qseen vs. Thomas This is an information filed by the Attorney-General for the Dominion if Canada against Ym. Thomis, to ret aside a patent to lot 22 in St Peter's which forms part of the Indian reserve. Tliimas ws in possesiion of tbe land prior to the treaty between the Government and the St.

Peter's band of Indians on August 3, 1871, and in 1S72 became a member of that band and was included in the reserve until July 15, 1875, when he withdrew from the trial and received script from the government Thomas made an application for a patent in October, 1878, and his application was referred to Messrs and MtColl, who were appointed to look into a number of claims and they reported in favor of a patent being granted, which was done in October 18S7. It is alleged now tbat tho facts that the defendant had been a treaty Indian snd subsequently withdrawn from the treaty and accepted script was cot clearly shown before the commissioners when they made their report, and in consequence tbe report wan made in en or and by mistake and it is asked tbat the court should declare the patent void, let aside and cancelled. Tbe defendant contendt tbat be is a member of the class of people known as a half-breed and that he purchased the property in question in I860, from Robert Sandison and he went into possession at once and made improvement upon it, and after tbe patent had been issued he erected a home costing $500; that he was not a party to the treaty and that when be received the annuity, be was informed by the officer of tho government, that in taking the same he was simply waiving bit right or title as an Indian of the province but would not lose any rights he bad under the Manitoba act by residing upon the land, and he relied upon this statement; he the annuity, but be did not intend to, nor did he abandon his claim to the land. Shortly after receiving the fourth annuity, the defendant alleges that be then for the first time discovered that it was cliimed on behalf of tbe Dominion government that by doing so be was losing bit rights to the land, and he then returned tho anniity, and has not since accepted any further sum of money as an annuity; that in addition to the scrip recovered, Thomas contends hit title to the land ia abtolute, and he bat never surren dered hit rights thereto.
