The mass meeting in the theatre last night was graced by a large representa- .tive gathering comprising respectable peopie and including the working classes made up of fishermen, bread and cake- makers and others. The meeting was formally opened at 9 o’clock by Mr. James Roberts, piano-tuner, who briefly explained the objeet for whieh it had been convened and called upon the house to nominate and elect-a chairman. Pro- posed were Messrs.J. J. Johnson, Alex- ander Creagh, Fred. Jackson, Jr. and others who all declined; as did also Mr. B. R. Larsen and Mr. G. Lange who showed good reason why they could not take the chair. Lawyer A.E. Stake- mann who had promised to speak was present, and Dr. Canegata arrived later, but the other speakers as well as persons expected to come forward were conspicuousiy abseni. As business could not be proceeded with until the ne- cessary preliminaries had been disposed of the gathering was obliged to disperse after an hour or more had been wast- ed in abortive efforts to make a start. It was decidedly a great disappointment to those parties immediately interested who had relied upon their cause being championed by the more lettered and capable in the audience, and there is no gainsaying the fact that last night’s pro- ceedings stand out very discreditably against the better informed element of the community among whom are many so-called representatives of the people, who were probably shaking in their shoes from cold feet, and upon whom the responsibility should be placed for every hardship that may result through lack of sppropriate representation and timely ae- tion in their behalf.

We notice a general decline in the/ pri- ces of foodstuff in some of the groceries. Rice a staple article can be bought at 10 cents per pound; potatoes five cents per pound and sugar ‘l4 cents per pound. This much needed commodity —sugar—- is bound to go very low as the holders of sugar abroad are selling it at a reduced price.—St. Thomas Bulletin, Oct. 22nd. Un Thursday the 21st inst. at about 3 n’clock p. m. one Charles Dawson, left” his home at Spooner with the expressed purpose of “‘watering the cattle.”” About the hour of five 2s he failed to return a search was institutéd, when after a long time and with the approaching shades of evening ‘his body was' discovered in the gut dead and upon investigation it was seen that his head and face was terribly cut, his neck broken. The authorities immediately took all . necessary steps to detect and apprehend the assailant or assailants—for to us, it points' to fowl play. When it is re- membered how peaceful the island of Tortola generally is, it can be easily imagined the commotion and alarm this regrettable affair caused and i nview of the recent return to his home after some * absence in the Dominican Republic. his plans and preparation lcoking toward his early marriage, this sad event becomes mueh more distressing.—St. Thomas Bulletin, Oct. 23rd.
