thorough work a atronjj J Montreal Nov A remarkable and daring robbery took place last night at a town opposite Montreal on the Bt Lawrence when a gang of professional burglars went into the police station on pretence of seeking protection and at the first opportunity pounced on the police officers on duty and bound and gagged them After making sure that they would not be disturbed the robbers proceeded to rob the town hall and the secretarys office in the same building They succeeded in getting away with Waxstead Out Nov About four oclock this morning a masked man entered A Duncan Gos store and going upstairs awoke Mr Duncan only occupant of the building demanding his money and keys of safe Mr Duncan demurred and the burglar fired a shot from a revolver ball passing near Mr Duncans head Mr Duncans arms were then pinioned and ho was led downstairs to the safe which burg lar opened under his directions secur ing all the money it contained which fortunately was not a largo sum Boston Nov Not until this morning when daylight offered a safe opportunity for investigation and ex ploration did awful havoc wrought by storm in Boston harbor and vicinity become appatent Not since has a storm caused such destruc tion of property and loss of life so near the city The tugs that started early this morning to explore the har bor and offer assistance wherever it was possible found a condition of affairs almost unprecedented in the marine history of Boston On every side an awful spectacle disaster and death was presented Almost every shoal and reef in the harbor was the resting place of some wrecked craft over which a wide sea still dashed carrying tho vessel higher up on the shore or slowly grinding it to frag ments Many wrecks were covered with ice and this and the fact that a terrific sea was running made it im possible to learn their names It is known definitely tonight that over lives have been lost in wrecks of tugs schooners and coal barges in New England and if the steamer Portland lias also gone down as now seems possible the work of storm will carry the casualties up to with over 100 vessels of all descrip tions ashore two score of them total wrecks and an unknown number prob ably beneath the waves of Massachu setts bay Boston Nov steamer plying between Boston and Portland was totally wrecked at oclock Sunday morning off Light and the entire crew and pass engers perished within a short distance of land The crew of the Portland numbered and her passengers or a total of all of whom so far as known are lost Boston Mass Nov The Hat of disasters along the New England coast seems to grow every hour and from despatches thus far received it appears that at least schooners have been wrecked at different points from Me to New Haven Conn schooners ashore barges are aground beside a largo number of smaller craft This list does not include the SO vessels either wholly or partially wrecked in Boston nor half a dozen or more aft which reported missing nor the big Wilson Line freighter Ohio When these add ed the aggregate list exceeds craft is known that about forty per sons perished in and about Boston harbor Reports from other places state that the crew of this or that vessel escaped Survivors have turn ed up at the lifesavingi stations and incoming vessels have brought a few sailors from wrecks Perhaps a score Hast Taxes To the Editor of Newmarket Era In yoor of Nov 18 to from J Woodcock County Councillor in which he fs charging that the East Council are levying higher rates for County and Schools than are required thus endeavoring to make it appear that they are very economical Township matter replying to above charges I would to alaio follows The Councils of in the past have invariably levying County added a percentage to cover the coats of collection defalcations and non resident taxes as latter ia never re ceived in year in which It is levied but the proportion to County and School rates have to be paid out and there- ore for those reasons they have always added about The for bag only followed the cooree adopted by their predecessors knowing that it does not add one cent to the total of any persons taxes is there any misrepresenta tion the ByLaw invariably states that the County Rate covers each additional charges In the past when East bad three members in Co being a majority the whole Council they followed this coarse when they might easily have changed it had they considered that any injustice was being done Thus so far the County Hate is con cerned there has been no intention to de ceive any elector as it Is generally under stood that the County Rate covers those In the EG Co Rate was in and in 9 the increase for the year OS being required for two reasons viz the decrease In the total assessment of the Township and the increased amount rtqnired by the for 98 in excess of 97 being 916585 whereas the of a mid added to Co only Rate for 98 on would only produce tbrrefote the County levy in is uuJl leia
