Tea party Rep. Trey Radel busted for cocaine in D.C.
Congressman Trey Radel, a tea party freshman lawmaker from Fort Myers, was arrested on Oct. 29 for cocaine possession in Washington, D.C, Politico reported.
Radel, who faces a maximum of 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000, was charged Tuesday in the District of Columbia Superior Court with misdemeanor cocaine possession and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
"I'm profoundly sorry to let down my family, particularly my wife and son, and the people of Southwest Florida," the 37-year-old Republican, whose legal name is Henry Jude Radel III, said in a statement. "I struggle with the disease of alcoholism, and this led to an extremely irresponsible choice. As the father of a young son and a husband to a loving wife, I need to get help so I can be a better man for both of them."
Radel was arrested in a Drug Enforcement Agency bust when his alleged dealer, arrested in a separate case, led authorities to the congressman, officials said.
Radel then allegedly bought cocaine from an undercover agent in Washington's Dupont Circle neighborhood. Afterward, authorities visited the congressman's apartment and informed him he would be charged with misdemeanor cocaine possession.
If Radel had been arrested in his home state for cocaine possession, he would have faced far more serious consequences than in Washington. The crime is a felony in Florida, where Radel would have lost his voting and other civil rights had he been convicted in state court.
Another contrast between D.C. and Florida: If the congressman had been a state worker, he would face termination under Gov. Rick Scott, who wants to drug test state employees.
Radel's arrest comes amid international attention over the use of cocaine by Toronto's mayor, conservative Rob Ford, who recently admitted to smoking crack. As did Radel, he blamed his crack use on alcohol. Unlike Radel, Ford has been defiant and has denied at times having a drug problem.
A libertarian-leaning Republican, Radel doesn't support lock-'em up policies. He was a co-sponsor of a bill to reduce mandatory-minimum sentencing.
A former TV news anchor and radio-show host, the political newcomer won his Republican-leaning district in 2012 and defeated a host of bigger names in a crowded GOP primary that included Chauncy Goss, the son of former U.S. Rep. Porter Goss, and former state Reps Paige Kreegel and Gary Aubuchon.
Radel's campaign was accused of dirty tricks when opponents learned he bought up phony websites in their names that appeared to be maintained by them and that, his critics said, misled voters. His business, Trey Enterprises, also owned sexually explicit website names that fellow Republicans criticized.
A fan of rap music, Radel frequently mused about loving old-school hip-hop such as Public Enemy and freely engages and jokes with constituents, consultants and reporters on Twitter. He also posts numerous photos of him and his young son.
On the day he was arrested, Oct. 29, Radel made no mention of it but kept tweeting.
Radel noted he was heading to a Geraldo Rivera interview that day, and continued criticizing Obamacare.
"The mandate to carry health insurance is the most unpopular requirement of the healthcare law. #delaythefine," he tweeted posted at one point.
"Had some fun last few wks. Check out #treydome for look at tour of our Capitol. And for fun- #treyonplane Reviewed hilarious SkyMall mag!," he said in his last tweet on the day he was arrested.
Critics of the congressman on Tuesday were quick to point out that drug-abuse treatment is now required under the very law that Radel bashed — the Affordable Care Act.
Radel made a splash in D.C. by appearing to be a younger, hipper version of fellow Florida Republican and rap lover Sen. Marco Rubio, whom he jokingly challenged to a rap trivia contest.
Radel's political positions are a little more hard-edged. He was one of the original group of Republican lawmakers to start talking about a federal-government shutdown and suggested impeaching President /Barack/ Obama over gun use.
"In facing this charge, I realize the disappointment my family, friends and constituents must feel. Believe me, I am disappointed in myself, and I stand ready to face the consequences of my actions," Radel said in his statement.
"However, this unfortunate event does have a positive side. It offers me an opportunity to seek treatment and counseling," the congressman wrote. "I know I have a problem and will do whatever is necessary to overcome it, hopefully setting an example for others struggling with this disease."
"Please keep my family in your prayers."

The prepared text is a personal reflection on the structure and meaning of social relationships in contemporary families early twenty-first century, with particular emphasis on families with a child with symptoms of physical or intellectual disability. The major emphasis has been placed there for his father's social role, which in the social constellation which is the family, is sometimes not very clear, sometimes even marginalized, and most interesting families we underestimated the extent that it actually deserves. For drawing generalizations based on the assumed problems accumulated empirical material gathered through observation and interview about 500 families involved. For providing intelligence were both parents of a disabled child, as well as his siblings and other relatives. This properly collated and developedaccordance with the suggestion of interested participants in the seminars for parents raising a child with disabilities development, helped to expose and develop a 12-theoretical models of structural and relational families, preferring certain attitudes towards the disabled child and his upbringing. Our results for which I made in the development, servedme for a plot to show the verymuch appreciated and is vital in the life of a disabled child, his father's social role as a carer, friend and facilitator.

Why Datapeers?
January 19th, 2016
Data needs are ever changing within organizations. In order to test environments or new features for that data, it's necessary to make a copy of the database.
This can be problematic, especially with large databases. Not only can the task of copying the database take a large amount of time and manpower, ensuring there is enough storage, both for the actual database and the test copy can be a challenge.
Datapeers was created to resolve these and other issues. Here are just a few of the benefits.
Reduces Maintenance Costs
Instead of the headache of purchasing extra data storage, just for testing purposes, Datapeers allows you to copy just what you need, thus reducing storage costs.
This allows needed information to be copied directly from the original database without copying the entire database, which may be several terabytes.
Because it also minimizes the environments deployment times, this saves resources during testing.
Delivers Quality Data
One of the challenges of large databases is inaccuracy when information is copied. Datapeers corrects that issue by only copying the needed information.
This can be especially critical when testing needs to be accomplished with real-time production data. Instead of test information being days or weeks old, fresh data can be used in a subset database environment.
Protects Sensitive Information
Does your organization need to share its sensitive data, which could reveal confidential information in the process, to a third party? Is your organization faced with data protection laws?
The protection of your organization's sensitive information is paramount, especially during testing or training and development. The use of Datapeers can insure that your company's test data policies are being enforced.
Fast and Easy to Use
Finally, Datapeers provides a way to simplify the complex. Quit spending large amounts of man-hours year after year securing and prepping sensitive data in non-production database environments.
Datapeers allows the work to be done of the front end, without having to replicate the entire database during the test of every new feature. This drastically reduces testing preparation time.
As the face of data storage and management continues to change, Datapeers seeks to solve the associated problems. Allowing greater efficiency in testing and development generates efficiency in all areas of business, providing a winning solution.

Lake View Veterans
Weights were well down on both Lagoon and Marina last Wednesday, with fish initially not feeding.
Most anglers did start to catch towards the end of the match and, once again, Keith Daws was the overall winner from Lagoon peg 5.
Fishing pellet over ground bait down the margins, Keith ended with 58lbs.
Opposite on peg 25 it was Cliff Alcock, who thought he had enough to win but was short with 45lbs for second.
Chris Shore came in third from peg 10 with 40lbs.
On Marina it was a similar story and Martin Quilter was surprised his catch of 42lbs, taken on maggot from peg 17, was enough to win the lake.
Dave Farrell came in second from peg 12 with 36lbs, taken mostly in the second half of the match, and Roger Holmes was third with 32lbs from peg 22.
On Saturday, Canal proved to be patchy with Steve Ward on peg 9 showing the rest the way with a 64lbs bag, taken on pellet across to the island.
Some way behind was Roy Toulon on peg 13, again using pellet.
But he could only manage 36lbs.
Third overall was Brian Nichols with 33lbs and Pete Sisson was fourth with 28lbs.
The rest struggled to beat the 20lbs mark.

He now looks odds on to take the overall title.
Drawn on peg 5, he caught most of his fish on method feeder, plus a few on the pole in the margins for 29lb 2oz.
Second was Mike Smith on 9, fishing corn in the margins for an all carp weight of 20lb 12oz.
Paul Turner took third with 17lb 6oz from peg 22, with Karl Nickolson, on 20, fourth with 16lb 1oz.
Saturday's match saw Paul Turner improve on his Thursday evening placing by winning.

Rand Paul predicts 'Big, bad, ugly' budget deal
Share Now on:
Correction: An earlier version of this article misnamed the interviewee. U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) responded about whether or not he plans to run for president in 2016. The text has been corrected.
President Obama will hit the road today to try and get the public on his side in the debate over how to avoid the fiscal cliff. Republicans have reportedly rejected an opening offer from the White House which calls for a $1.6 trillion tax increase over ten years and the ability to raise the federal debt limit without Congressional approval.
One Republican senator who doesn't want to raise taxes at all as part of a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff is Rand Paul of Kentucky. He joins us to share his thoughts on the ongoing negotiations and why spending cuts are necessary.

The Heat Wave...
Oh man.. I don't do well when it comes to heat. I'd rather be freezing cold with my toes numb and teeth chattering like a mad person than hot and sweaty. It's killing me. It's so hot and I am pretty much holed up in the one room in my house that is air conditioned. Other than that the entire house is like a furnace and it's not going to let up any time soon. The forecast for the next week and half is average 29 C degrees or high 80's/low 90's F. I'm melting. Literally. Someone save me.

Whitman Tops Bloomberg's Personal Spending
Move aside, Michael Bloomberg. California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has just surpassed your record in personal spending on an election.
After giving her campaign another $15 million Tuesday, the Republican former eBay Inc. chief executive has now spent $119 million in the Golden State race. (You can view her campaign-finance records here.) Bloomberg spent $110 million of his own money to win a third term as New York City's mayor last year.
Whitman's Democratic opponent, former California governor and current state attorney general Jerry Brown, has attacked the Republican's lavishness. Brown spokesman Sterling Clifford said Whitman is running a campaign that believes "money can make up for truth or fresh ideas."
"She's going to set the record for most money spent in a losing campaign," Clifford said.
Whitman spokeswoman Andrea Rivera defended the spending. "Meg has said she will spend what it takes to get her message out to the people of California," Rivera said, adding that Brown is "bought and paid for by the unions" who have aided his campaign since the primary election.
When asked if the mayor's office had comment, a Bloomberg spokesman said, "No."
The latest polling shows Whitman with a slight lead over Brown, according to RealClearPolitics.com.

There are many gifts that you can offer friends as thanks, to celebrate an occasion, or just because they are who they are. The term nautical decor means the item has a maritime theme. You will be surprised as to the assortment available. If you are a collector there are many different items to choose from.
Whatever area you consider decorating you can be sure it will bring the ocean to your environment. You may want to display your model in your home or office. Perhaps your interest lies in model ships. Some are made of museum quality wood and are really works of art. Some are handcrafted a piece at a time and are built, as the real ones are, to last. Some of these ships sit on a base of marble to add to the quality.

Local fans of "This Old House" will see a recognizable landmark on an episode planned for this fall. Springfield's EcoBuilding Bargains will be featured on the show as part of a crew hired to "deconstruct" a 19th century colonial home in Cambridge. Portions of the shots were filmed at the 20,000 square foot retail space on Warwick Street.
EcoBuilding Bargains sells used, salvaged and surplus home-improvement materials at low prices. The company is an enterprise of the Center for EcoTechnology, a non-profit (501c3) community-based environmental organization.
John Grossman, manager of sales and donations, called the PBS program "the granddaddy of all home improvement shows."
"We love to raise awareness of what we do, and to have a vehicle like that to get our mission out there is just so powerful," he said.
Take a look at the gallery to the right for pictures of EcoBuilding Bargains' current inventory.

The former head of the Royal Navy yesterday warned that shipyards on the Clyde and at Rosyth would be sunk by Scottish independence.
Admiral Lord West, the former First Sea Lord, fears the SNP's plans for a Scottish defence force would make Britain more vulnerable.
West, who was educated in Clydebank, witnessed ships such as the QE2 being built on the Clyde as a boy.
But the Falklands war hero, speaking at his office in the House of Lords, warned that Scotland's shipbuilding industry would be wiped out by the break-up of Britain.
The 63-year-old peer said: "If Scotland became completely independent, there is no way that what would be left of the UK would build its warships in another country.
"The Clyde yards would be entirely reliant on foreign orders from countries who don't have their own shipbuilding industries.
"They might get one or two orders from people like the Sultan of Brunei or Oman but that would be all. When I was First Sea Lord, I was very impressed by the BAE shipyard on the Clyde. It has state-of-the-art equipment but I don't see how it could keep going.
"If I was on the board of BAE, I would be questioning whether there should be more investment there until we know if Scotland is going to become a separate country. A safer bet would seem to be Portsmouth and Barrow.
"It would be a real shame for the last of the Clyde shipyards to go.
"Similarly, I can't see Rosyth getting any more Royal Navy work in an independent Scotland. Work would be carried out in the country that is paying for it."
Former Labour security minister West warned that separation would have a devastating impact on Britain's defences.
He said: "If Scotland became independent, it would diminish all our defence capabilities. The fact is that being one nation has made us very powerful in the past.
"And let's not kid ourselves, we are still a great power. We are the fifth richest nation in the world, we are a member of Nato and the EU, we have permanent membership of the UN Security Council and we have nuclear weapons.
"I know the SNP don't like them but it gives you a voice in all sorts of forums that you don't have otherwise. A separate Scotland would diminish us all."
The SNP's defence policy is to follow countries such as Norway, Sweden and Denmark in creating an independent army, navy and air force.
But West said: "It wouldn't be as capable as Norway or Denmark because the amount of money generated by Scotland is not as large as those countries. I think it is unlikely Scotland would spend more than 1.5 per cent of its GDP on its defence force.
"That would mean Scotland having about eight patrol frigates to look after its waters.
"It wouldn't be able to run jets so the air force would probably have maritime aircraft to patrol its offshore economic zone and some helicopters to move troops and police.
"The airforce would be an attachment at Edinburgh or Glasgow Airport so Leuchars and Lossiemouth would close.
"The army would have about 8500 soldiers so a lot of army bases would also close. With that force, Scotland would be able to look after itself. But it wouldn't have a homogeneous fighting force.
"And a Scottish army couldn't just take the Scots Guards and the Black Watch. It would have to generate some new regiments.
"And what would the national security strategy for Scotland be? Would there be a secret intelligence service? Where would Scotland's ministry of defence be set up to run all this?
"Alex Salmond and the SNP are ducking and dodging these questions and they are too important to be ducked and dodged. They have to be confronted and talked about.
"I have a sneaking suspicion that Salmond doesn't really want independence. I think all he wants is devo max as full independence, because of things like defence, would be such an issue."
But SNP Cabinet Secretary Bruce Crawford said: "It is not the London Government that makes Scotland's yards successful, it is the Scottish skills base and technical expertise that brings orders to the yards – that will continue after independence.
"In reality, and in all circumstances, Scottish yards will secure orders on the basis of their skills and formidable record of delivery.
"Indeed, Scottish shipyards already build ships for countries outside the UK and the London Government already sources ships from other countries.
"If Lord West is seriously suggesting that the Ministry of Defence are prepared to place contracts in places such as Italy and South Korea but not Scotland, then Labour had better disassociate themselves from his disgraceful attack on Scottish yards.
"This desperate scaremongering from former Labour minister Lord West is made without a stitch of evidence."

Alphen, Netherlands. 10 November. Abraham Lincoln once famously said, "The people when rightly and fully-trusted will return the trust". Tell that to the EU elite. Recently, a senior member of the Dutch Senate and a fully paid-up member of the 'we need more EU for everything' brigade warned people against me at a public meeting. He did so apparently because he said I had been "radicalised" in my concerns about the centralisation of distant power in the EU. First, to equate me with Islamic terrorism is unacceptable. Second, in a true democracy the job of the citizen-taxpayer is precisely to hold power to account.
Naturally, I was informed of this attack by a reliable colleague as the individual in question lacked the integrity to tell me himself. In a sense Mr Senator has made my point for me. Indeed, it is precisely the growing intolerance of informed criticism by Europe's elite that has turned me from a strong supporter of the EU into a taxpayer-citizen with profound concerns about reform, accountability and transparency in and of the EU. This past week has reinforced my concerns.
EU reform: British Finance Minister George Osborne was dancing on the head of a pin when he claimed 'victory' in his attempts to reduce and offset the 'surprise' EU demand on the British citizen-taxpayer for an additional £1.7bn (€2.1bn). The bill is in addition to the massive rise in Britain's annual contribution to the EU from £3.7bn (€4.7bn) in 2009 to £11.3bn (€14.4bn) in 2013. Moreover, the British citizen-taxpayer will be hit by an additional £655m (€834m) because the famous cut to the EU budget negotiated by David Cameron will be overturned by a European Parliament stock full of people who simply do not care that every penny they spend comes from ordinary citizen-taxpayers.
Three simple truths are revealed by this latest British EU fiasco: the British taxpayer will indeed pay the £1.7bn; the twenty EU member-states who are 'net receivers' are perfectly happy with the current system; and the European Commission can always manipulate that basic divide to expand the EU budget and its own competence. Indeed, David Cameron is fast becoming the Grand Old Duke of York of EU politics. He marches the British people up to the top of the hill of promised EU reform only to march them down again when the extent of Britain's and indeed his own impotence is revealed. The EU is unreformable.
EU Accountability: Last week a scandal broke that would once have led to resignations, not any more. It was revealed that when European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker was prime minister of Luxembourg his country permitted 340 major international companies to aggressively avoid tax. The so-called "Lux-Leaks" document is now under investigation by the same European Commission that Juncker now heads making a mockery of his claims that he will bring some 'ethics' to EU tax laws. The bottom-line is that millions of ordinary European taxpayer-citizens were fleeced by this system as we all had to pay the tax Luxembourg helped big corporations avoid. Mr Juncker should resign but he will of course not. The EU elite are unaccountable.
EU Transparency: The tax surcharge imposed by the European Commission on the taxpayer-citizens of Britain, Cyprus, Italy and the Netherlands breaks all previous conventions on tax. First, the specific method by which the surcharge was calculated by the European Commission lacks transparency (nothing new there then). Second, the entire principle of imposing back-tax directly or indirectly on ordinary taxpayer-citizens retrospectively is utterly without precedent. Third and worst of all, the 'value' of crime has been estimated and added to national wealth. For tax to be imposed the taxpayer-citizen must have benefitted from a service that is legal. In effect, the European Commission is taxing the victims of crime. As a precedent this departure is quite simply outrageous and demonstrates all too clearly the lengths to which the EU will now go to transfer wealth. The EU is insatiable.
Worse, the European taxpayer-citizen is about to be become more vulnerable to unfettered and unaccountable power. Today in London the House of Commons will debate whether or not Britain opts back into the European Arrest Warrant (EAW). Implicit in this debate is a fundamental question about where power, accountability and law should reside. On the face of it the EAW makes sense because it speeds extradition between EU member-states. However, when taken together the EAW and the new taxation reflect two dangerous precedents that accelerate the drift towards European confederation. First, those who designed the European Arrest Warrant see the eventual goal as a single EU legal jurisdiction and a single EU legal prosecutor. In other words, the EAW is yet another example of the drip-by-drip destruction of national sovereignty that is eroding both the European state and European democracy. Second, a fundamental breach has taken place this past week in the relationship between taxation, benefit and representation.
Abraham Lincoln believed that as central power grew it inevitably became more corrupt. He also believed that freedom is best served when power is as close to the taxpayer-citizen as possible reinforced by real checks and balances. Now, I have no problem with my hard-earned money helping transform lives and places but it must be proportionate, fair, transparent, and used efficiently for the right purposes. The EU simply does not pass those tests or indeed the Lincoln test.
This past week had two Europes on offer. There was the Europe of hope reflected in celebrations to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall and those few heady days in November 1989 when everything seemed possible. There was also that other, elite EU Europe demonstrating yet again just how far they have moved Europe from hope and idealism towards cynicism in the intervening years. If such an observation makes me 'radicalised' for challenging power then so be it. In my book the right to question power in a democracy is called freedom, Mr Senator. But then again I am just a mere citizen-taxpayer and I should really leave politics to you politicians. Really?

2011 VintageWine Spectator
September 2013
The 2011 Ethos Late Harvest Riesling is a rich, decadent wine with intense aromas of orange marmalade, dried apricots and honey. Layers of concentrated flavors are wonderfully balanced with natural acidity and a pure, luscious finish. Washington's cooler 2011 vintage allowed Riesling grapes to develop concentrated flavors and vibrant acidity.

DRAKE, finished loading with fish Saturday night, and left the next morning for Halifax, intending to call at St. John's en route. The schooner "Princess May", Joseph STUCKLESS master, left here Wednesday morning for St. John's with a cargo of fish from the firms of Messrs. DUDER, TOBIN and R.D. HODGE. She is the last that will go from here this season. It is said that another steamer is likely to come North, as a large quantity of freight was left behind, that the Virginia Lake was unable to bring. If the weather should continue mild there would be little or no danger of being impeded by ice. The "Virginia Lake", Capt. TAYLOR, arrived here Wednesday evening going North. She is booked for Griquet but is not likely to get as far as that as it is thought that the sever weather of late has caused considerable slob ice to be made along the coast.

|Rescue of Ship's Crew Intelligence has been received of the rescue of the crew of the Norwegian bark "Helene" by Captain William DEUCHARS, of the British steamer "Mexican Prince". The Helene was bound from Halifax to Cardiff with a cargo of lumber and encountered a succession of fierce North-westerly gales. The barque was fast going to pieces, all her boats had been carried away, and her bulwarks smashed, when, in response to a signal of distress, the Mexican Prince bore down on the wreck. Such a heavy sea was running that Captain DEUCHARS did not venture to send a boat out, but signalled that he would lie by the barque all night, and asked her crew to keep flare up lights burning so that he would not lose her bearings. By dawn next morning the lifeboat of the Mexican Prince put off, and the Norwegian skipper's wife and the crew of (13 ?) man were transformed from the water-logged barque to the steamer having to be hauled one by one through the surf with a rope. Captain DEUCHARS was formerly master of one of the Dundee whalers, and has during his captaincy, saved 127 lives. The Scotsman. SUF Meeting S.U.F..

Of course there has been no direct mail connection, but if the Post Masters in either of these places had had the presence of mind to have forwarded the mail matter for here by way of Gander Bay, (as the couriers from either of the places make weekly trips there) it might have been received here long since, and a great deal of annoyance to the public and especially to those more particularly concerned would have been avoided. Educational Meeting The letter in the Sun a fortnight ago has already led to important results. The two Chairmen of the Boards of Education in this place consulted together, and decided to call a public meeting, for the purpose of electing a Local Committee to act with the Council of Higher Education at this centre. The meeting was held at the Court House by permission of the Magistrate, on Wednesday 17th, at eleven o'clock in the morning: such an early hour being necessary to catch the mail leaving the same evening. It was as well attended as could be expected under all circumstances ; and has certainly resulted in a forward step being taken in the right direction. Mr. THOMPSON, M.H.A., was chosen Chairman, and conducted the business of the meeting. The following eight gentlemen were appointed to act as the new Local Committee: F. STAFFORD, Esq., M.D. (Chairman), J.P. THOMPSON, M.H.A, (Secretary), Rev. Robert TEMPLE, R.D., Rev. Jabez HILL Josiah COLBOURNE, Esq., Rev. T. HARWOOD, J.W. OWEN, Esq., C. MAYNE, Esq. These names have been sent on to Council for acceptance and as soon as a reply is received, the business of providing all things necessary for holding the Councils Examination at the end of June, 1894, will be proceeded with. Meantime our teachers and their pupils should exert themselves in readiness for a trial of their powers, at least in elementary subjects. We do not believe that our children are behind the rest of the Colony in ability; we are persuaded that all they need is the opportunity others enjoy. These examinations will stimulate teachers and scholars; and we hope that many will avail themselves year by year of this new chance to compete for the Diplomas and Prizes offered by the Council. We have already sufficient proof that our children taught in Twillingate, only can succeed in this way, side by side with others; since we can name four young girls who have just won Third Grade Diplomas, Miss Laura ASHBOURNE Miss Miriam HILL, Miss G. MAIDMENT, and Miss L. PEARCE, without any additional instruction or training than that which they gained in Twillingate schools (except Miss HILL); we are hopeful as to the future of Education in this centre. The committee will publish their acts from time to time in the columns of the Sun. Road Opens (Part 1) Road From Hall's Bay to Exploits Opened. Little Bay, Dec. 27, 1893. (To the Editor Twillingate Sun) Dear Sir: - I have no doubt you will be glad to hear that a junction by line of road, extending from Little Bay Bight to the railway, was completed on the twentieth of the present month; we have therefore a direct and good route to the railway line. This affords facilities to go to or from the city of St. John's and if need be, travellers can even reach White Bay without encountering any great difficulties. This is a boon that quite a number of people would have been glad of, had it existed a few years ago, when quite a number of gentlemen from the North had to spend a winter in St. John's, not being able to reach their homes owing to the inability of the mail steamer to get round Cape John. This route also affords better facilities for mail carriers, and will no doubt be the means of regular mails. The route is a very straight one from the shore at South Brook on the South Side of Hall's Bay. It is also very level and gives great credit to Mr. WHITE and his staff, for the judgment and skill displayed in the selection of so fine a route. The work on this line has been of much service to between three and four hundred men and boys, who have been employed; quite a number of families have received substantial help, that would now otherwise be wondering where the morrow's food would come from. We have therefore to feel thankful for the wise policy of the present progressive Government, of which you form no mean part. What do the traders now say to their wholesale falsehoods that they took so much pains to spread abroad, that this line was only a sham, and that it was to close down at the end of the elections. Why, sir, I can prove that some families earned over one hundred dollars for labor, after the sixth of Nov. Some single men earned after that, so high as forty dollars! Road Opens (Part 2) So much for a free and progressive Government. Our people will be alive to their false games in future: and it will be long ere they forget their being dealt with so falsely. There has been much more money earned on this line since election day than before it. A few days before finishing the cutting of the line, I met one of our hardy toilers with his pack to his back, making his way over the route for Conception Bay, and when asked his opinion of the road, he simply replied, "It's the levelest road in the country." I may here say that the superindendent has had quite a number of shelters erected for man and beast, who may need such shelter travelling this road. We have reason to thank the Giver of all good, for safely guiding all our work. We have not had one man receive an injury that would be worth notice, although stumping requires the uses of axes in a manner quite likely to cause trouble if care be not taken. The men all worked in a most creditable manner; steady at work, no grumbling or quarrelling in camp, ever ready to cheer their passing fellow workmen, evincing the best of good nature to the last, shouldering their packs and starting for home with three hearty cheers. Yours truly, J.B.H. Arrivals Messrs. George ROBERTS, John LOCKE and John HODGE, of Fogo, arrived from St. John's about one o'clock yesterday. They came by train to the junction road near Burnt Bay, arriving there Wednesday morning, travelled to Burnt Bay that day, and left there yesterday morning. The crews of the "Princess May" and "Minnot Light" also came by same route arriving here later in the day. Murder at Gander Bay It is reported that a murder was perpetrated at Gander Bay, ten or fifteen days since, the unfortunate victim being Mr. CLEAVES known for many years as manager of Mr. PHILLIPS' lumber tram. It appears that Mr. CATER, Mr. PHILLIPS' book-keeper, and CLEAVES had a dispute over some matter, when, it is said, CATER struck him on the head with an auger, from the effects of which he died shortly afterwards. The authorities have had the matter under investigation and full particulars will probably be received this mail. Spars For Sale A few fine spars ranging in length from fifty-five to seventy feet - now at Gander Bay, will be sold cheap. Apply to Wm. HARRIS, Gander Bay. or to W.T.

|Newfoundland Misrepresented A copy of the New York Herald for November was sent us some time since by one of our Little Bay friends, which contains an article headed, "Distress Reigns in Newfoundland," "Terrible Condition of the Fishermen and Miners of the Desolate coast region," "Fighting against Starvation," &C., and is made up of misrepresentations and falsehoods against the colony. It was sent for the purpose of publication in our columns, but we regret that its length precludes us from doing this and to reprint parts would not put the unscrupulous writer in his true light before the public. The correspondence was evidently written by a tourist who had visited our shores, and taken a trip to the Northern part of the coast, and it is greatly to be regretted that when strangers visit the colony they go away and figure in some of the leading newspapers abroad, making such abominable statements which are calculated to prove detrimental to the colony's best interests. The publication of articles of the character in question, depicting the condition of the colony as so wretched and miserable, could not fail to have a deterrent effect on capitalists, who may be disposed to come to our shores, to speculate in mining or other enterprises, and therefore the writers thereof, are doing us a serious injustice. As regards distress amongst our people, we venture the opinion that it would be difficult to find another colony in any part of the globe where less poverty and distress reign than in Newfoundland. We do not mean to say that as a colony we are entirely exempt, but it is well known to every one conversant with the true state of affairs, that the past five years there has been less destitution than for many years previously, and that throughout the land there has been comparative immunity from distress and suffering as a consequence of bad times, so that the writer in the New York Herald, is utterly astray in the assertions he has made in this respect, against the colony and, we hope that whenever strangers visit our shores, they will go away and represent things in their true light.

HUGHES, Secretary. L. COLBOURNE, Treas. Fire Widow BRENTON, of Virgin Arm, Friday's Bay, had her tilt and all its contents destroyed by fire on Thursday last. She lost all her clothing, and everything she possessed. She is far advanced in life and, we understand, has been a hard working industrious person. It would be a deed of charity to confer favors on one in such a predicament and we trust that she will not be overlooked by the charitably disposed of the community. Arrivals Mr. and Mrs. LETHBRIDGE, Mr. George HODDER, sr., and Mr. S. HARBIN, arrived from St. John's on Monday morning last. The fall of snow last week, retarded the progress of the railway, and they did not reach the Burnt Bay junction road until about eleven o'clock on Sunday. Mrs. LETHBRIDGE, we believe, is the first lady who has come here from St. John's by train by winter route. Politics Petitions have been filed before the courts in St. John's, against representatives that have been elected in several of the districts, in support of the WHITEWAY government, on the grounds that the election law against bribery, &c., was violated by them or their agents, during the election campaign. These charges have been made, no doubt, through vindictiveness on the part of defeated candidates, and are not likely to come to much. Murder Case "That Murder Case". The H.B. train arrived at Whitbourne this afternoon, but too late to connect with the regular. She brought His Worship Judge PROWSE back from his investigation into the supposed murder case at Gander Lake. After an enquiry into the case, he decided that the man CLEAVES died from inflammation of the lungs, and discharged the accused man CATER, there being nothing to connect him with CLEAVE's demise. It will be a matter of satisfaction that the crimeless character of the country is still maintained. Herald, Jan. 19. Birth At Lynn, Mass., on the 26th ult., the wife of Mr. Jacob YOUNG of a son.

"Sol" JACOBS, reached Boston Sunday afternoon, being the fourth boat to arrive there this season with frozen herring from Newfoundland. Captain JACOBS reports his herring to be of a fine quality, running about forty-five pounds to the hundred count. The schooner put in at Gloucester before going to Boston, and when near that port Friday evening jibed her mainsail, and some of the tackle struck Captain Jacobs on the left eye, knocking him down and straining his side. One of the crew was caught in the main sheet and nearly carried overboard. he escaped with a severe shaking up. During a blow up North, the Jacobs lost her foretopmast, the first topmast ever carred away on her since she was built. Another disaster happened to her Saturday as she was getting away from Gloucester, in tow of the tug "Seguin". The tug collided with the schooner pretty severely and smashed a portion of her port rail. Herald. Jan. 27. Married On Jan. 15th, at the Parsonage, by the Rev.

|Seal Fishery The Coastal Co's steamer "Windsor Lake" will prosecute the Gulf Seal Fishery the coming spring. Captain DRAKE, who has some experience in sealing on that part of the coast, will be in command. The sealing voyage apparently offers a good return for invested capital. The owners of the Windsor Lake deserve success for their enterprise. SUF Anniversary "S.U.F. Anniversary at Fogo". Feb 6. 1894. (To the Editor Twillingate Sun) Dear Sir:- Will you please insert in your valuable paper the following account of anniversary and march out on Candlemas day, of St. Andrew's Lodge, S.U.F., Fogo. Proceeding first from the Lodge Hall to St. Andrew's Church the brethren were treated to and participated in a short Church of England service, combined with portions of Lodge ritual, together with an excellent address by Rev. C. WHITE, from St. Luke v.c. 5v.: "and Simon answering said unto Him, Master we have toiled all the night and taken nothing. Nevertheless, at Thy word, I will let down the net", setting forth the duty of all, and especially Fishermen, in their arduous and precarious calling, never to be weary in well doing, but persevering unto the end, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of their faith, who will be sure to reward their labor in His own good time and manner. On leaving the Church, the procession wended its way to the residence of our worthy Magistrate, saluting the representative of Government, and receiving a gracious response thereto, then making their accustomed circuit of the harbor and returning to the Hall, dispersed without their usual tea this year, but in the evening a very enjoyable dance and ball was participated in by forty-two couples, including outsiders, patronised and enjoyed by Rev. C. WHITE and Lady, Messrs. EARLE, CROUCHER and COOK with respective partners of two firms and Miss EARLE. The Rev. TARRAN signalising himself with Miss EARLE, (who returned from England last year) in the light fantastic step of several polkas, Scottish dance, &c. Mr. EARLE equally lively in the quadrille; the whole affair being pronounced a perfect success, and tending in no small degree to exhilarate the young men and maidens for rem. of night. Yours Truly, M.S. Murder (Part 1) "MURDERED!! "A Cold Blooded Crime. Brained With An Iron Bar." This morning the community awoke to learn the startling information that a brutal murder had been committed last evening. It was discovered last night, too late to be known by any but very few people. The victim of the crime is the old man well known in the city as William McCARTHY. It was committed with a hollow iron bar, like a section of gas pipe, and the motive was apparently robbery. The murderer is not yet caught, but was seen by residents near McCARTHY's house, leave it about 9:30 last night, and a pretty accurate description of him is in the hands of the police by this time. The old man McCARTHY, familiarly known as "Billy", was a well-known figure in this city. He was an aged, miserly individual, nearly 80 years old, and not over appreciated in the community, as he was remarkable for hardness of heart, and exacted his pound of flesh in his dealing with everyone he had to do with. Murder (Part 2) Yet with all his faults one can scarcely help a feeling of regret at his violent and unprepared death, for he lived hard, and the few years yet remaining to him might have sufficed to better prepare him for the great hereafter. He was his own worst enemy and bitterly has he paid for it. He carried on business as a junk dealer, and lived in a house in Springdale Street, one of a number of tenements belonging to him. He was a hard landlord, always in trouble with his tenants, and constantly at law with them, and it may be found that wrongs of this character had something to do with his killing. As gleaned from various sources, the story of the crime is as follows: Shortly after midday he sent the girl WALSH home, saying he was going our for a while. Very soon after, he purchased a quantity of old lead, metal, etc., from a man who brought it to his door. Among the stuff, strange to say, was the very bar with which he was killed. Murder (Part 3) The man who sold the things is variously described, but all agree that he was tall and middle-aged and resembled the man who is thought to have done the deed. The bargain concluded, the man left and shortly after, it was observed that McCARTHY's door was closed and his window blinds let down. The neighbours had not seen him leave, but did not generally pay much attention to his movements. The girl WALSH came several times and tried to get in, but found the door locked, and after tea made enquiries for him at the police station. During the afternoon and night not a sound was heard from the old man's quarters; all the neighbours are unanimous in agreement that no disturbance or noise of any kind occurred. About [9:30 pm ?] Mrs. [DILLON ?] next door, heard a slight noise in McCARTHY's and then heard the door slam. She knocked at the partition and called out, but got no answer. Murder (Part 4) Then she went to her door, and saw a man leave McCARTHY's and walk quickly up Springdale St. towards Flower Hill. She and the other neighbours, who were about, describe him as being a tall man, of florid complexion, with a long overcoat and a soft high cap with a peak. A closer view of him could not be obtained he walked so rapidly. Having her suspicions aroused by the strange circumstance, she went to McCARTHY's door and found it open. She looked in but saw nothing, and then another young woman got a lamp and they both entered his house. When they got inside the door the lamplight revealed a pool of blood on the floor, and being frightened they left immediately and sent word for the police. An examination of the house was made and soon revealed the motive. In his bedroom was a chest or trunk, the key in the lock. Murder (Part 5) Raising the cover they found a canvas bag in which he kept his money. It was empty and a thorough search failed to discover any money or valuables in the place. As he was known to have had money there that day, the only conclusion is that the murderer had robbed him. The question then arises, "Who was the Murderer?". And the answer must undoubtedly be, "The man who came out of the house about 9:30." And with this, the mysterious character of the affair becomes visible. No one had entered the house from early in the afternoon. It was locked the several times the girl tried the door, and the blind was down. He could not well have entered during the afternoon without neighbours seeing him, the window was not tampered with, and the back door from the outhouse has not been opened the winter, and shows not a solitary track in the snow. Murder (Part 6) The theory of the police is that he obtained entrance, with the old man after midday, waited a favorable moment and killed him, then took the body by the heels and dragged it from the place he struck it down to the passage in the rear, where it would be out of the way, and then proceeded to ransack the place and make himself comfortable till after nightfall, when he could make his escape with comparative safety. This displayed a daring and a cold-bloodedness which stamps the murderer as a man of no ordinary ability and nerve, and places his crime in a category far above the few similar tragedies with which unfortunately, we have been visited. The astonishing fact, however, is that no noise was heard at all, for it seems incredible that the necessary movements of the criminal could have been made unnoticed. Murder (Part 7) The police are on the alert this morning, following up the clues they have obtained and they expect to make an arrest this evening. Meanwhile the body lies in the Morgue, and when a post mortem examination has been held, will be interred. It is to be sincerely hoped that the murderer will not escape, for such a disgraceful blot on our fair name demands that the utmost exertions should be put forward to hunt him down, and mete him out his just deserts when captured. Right here we would advise the police to watch the "Grand Lake", sailing to-night, and all outgoing trains and steamers for some time to come. -- Evening Herald, Jan. 30. Turrs Turrs have been very plentiful around here this winter; one man belonging to Crow Head secured about seventy-three one day this week. Ship News The s.s. "Hope" comes North again this season, and her master of last year will again take charge of her. She will not leave for Fogo until the 1st March. The steamers "Neptune," "Ranger," and "Falcon" left last week for Pool's Island. Sons of Temperance The members of "North Star" Division, No 45, Sons of Temperance, intend holding their anniversary on Thursday, February 22. Tickets may be had from Bros. J.W. ROBERTS, F. LINFIELD, N. GRAY, A.W. PRESTON, C. WHITE, and C.D. MAYNE. Persons only will be admitted to tea, who hold a Ticket. Escape from Drowning On Tuesday last, while in quest of turrs, a young man named James SHARP, of Crow Head, had a narrow escape from drowning. From what we can learn it appears that he was after killing some turrs, and was in the act of reaching home over some very feeble ice, when it gave away and he fell forward in the water, where he remained a considerable time. Being alone, it was with great difficulty he succeeded in getting out, which he did by means of his gaff. The day was one of the coldest for the winter, the thermometer being 15 below zero. Having lost his mitts while in the water both hands were badly frost-bitten. We understand he is now doing well, and will not need amputation as was feared. Old Fashioned Winters (Part 1) "Our Ancestors and their 'Old Fashioned Winters' ". The people of Newfoundland are passing through what is commonly called "an old fashioned winter." Why it is so designated, we can hardly explain, except on the supposition that at this season, and years ago, the weather was much more severe that we of the present quarter of the nineteenth century are wont to experience. In spite of the terrible death rate here in St. John's there still exist in our midst, a few venerable octogenarians in the possession of sound physical and mental facilities. In conversation with those "sacred relics of by-gone days," as James Russell LOWELL calls them, we are sometimes astonished at the tales they tell of Newfoundland winters in the early part of the century. Snow storms of a week's duration each, we are told, were then matters of common occurrence, while drifts assumed the proportions of small mountains and the thermometer went down to twenty-five and thirty below zero. Old Fashioned Winters (Part 2) Fancy the horrors of a Newfoundland winter in those days, in loosely-built houses, with large, open chimneys, the only heat, in most cases, being the limited quantity derived from piles of burning wood, artistically arranged on ancient Drudish contrivances, commonly called "dog irons". Such were some of the circumstances in which our forefathers lived and moved and had their vigorous being. Nevertheless, in these very conditions, they developed a sturdy manhood and a dauntless disposition, which made them at once the finest seamen, and the most hospitable people on the face of the earth. They scoured the wintry sea in their small 20 ton vessels, in the face of Arctic ice and terrific gales, and successfully prosecuted the seal fishery, while the voyage of 300 or 400 miles to Labrador, every spring, often without the aid of compass or chart, was undertaken with less concern than present-day marines evince in making a trip to Cape St. Francis. -- Evening Telegram.

|Seal Fishery - Nfld. Very few seals have been captured by landsmen around our shores and the prospect of their getting many this Spring is not very bright at present. Seal Fishery - Nfld. Three schooners have been cleared from the Custom House for the seal fishery, up to date, vis: Tamarack, James YOUNG, Orion, Edward WHITE, and the Westville, John LANNEN. We wish them all a bumper trip. Seal Fishery - Nfld. We understand that Dr. GRENFELL of the Deep Sea Mission, and Dr. BOBARDT intend making a trip to the seal fishery this spring, as they want to make themselves acquainted with all phases of life in Newfoundland. They will go with Captain BLANDFORD in the "Neptune," and they could not be under better care and guidance than with the gallant captain, who will initiate them into the mysteries of seal hunting. Seal Fishery B.C. Twenty-one sealers have sailed from Victoria, B.C., so far, carrying 74 Indians and 428 whites. This constitutes one-third of the entire fleet. Seal Fishery B.C. "Over 200 Men in Employment". Almost every day the fleet of sealing schooners, en route to the Japan coast, is enlarged by a fresh one starting out from Victoria, and on those which have already sailed, over 200 men have found employment for at least seven months. Yesterday the "Dora Steward" departed with a crew of (26 ?) men. She is captained by F. COLE, of Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, who commanded the schr. "Penelope" on her last cruise. -- B.C. Colonist. Seal Fishery - Nfld. "Seals on the Coast". A late North Sydney paper says that Capt. FARQUHAR of the steamer "Harlaw," which arrived a few days ago from Halifax, reports passing a number of seals in the water near the entrance of Big Bras d' Or. The genial Captain will again be in command of the "S.S. Newfoundland" on her sealing voyage the coming season. The steamer has for some time past been undergoing extensive repairs and alterations at Halifax, so as to fit her for the sealfishery. Capt. FARQUHAR will have no trouble in getting seal killers to go with him to the ice this year. Already many have applied for berths in the Newfoundland. Newfoundland Boxer (Part 1) Dick CRONAN. The Newfoundland Fisherman Boxer of Nine Years Ring Record. From a well-known sporting journal we take the following account of "a native" who has won renown in the prize ring in the Great Republic. In giving it a place in our columns it may be well to state, we merely do so as a matter of news, and knowing that many of our readers take a keen interest in the manly art of self-defence: Dick CRONAN, the "fisherman fighter" was born at St. George's Bay, Newfoundland, June 3, 1865. Dick is not strictly a fisherman, but on land he has been for nine years a boxer, and at sea has been a sailor, and of late years, mate of several sailing vessels. Dick's fistic career began with a fight at Coaster's Island with Ted SULLIVAN of Pittsburg, Penn. CRONAN won in five rounds. Newfoundland Boxer (Part 2) Next, CRONAN and Andy McCAULEY of Boston fought six rounds. The fight ended in a draw. In 1886 CRONAN fought an eight round draw with Abe HUMER. A month later he defeated HUMER in seven rounds. He next defeated Jack CASEY in two rounds, and later defeated CASEY at Brockton, Mass., in five rounds. CRONAN then had a four round draw with Martin E., SNEE, of Haverhill. He next defeated Mike BARRY, champion light-weight of Maine, in two rounds at East Boston, Mass. In 1887 he travelled with the John L. SULLIVAN combination, sparring nightly with Patsy HERRIGAN and George LeBAUNCHE, the Marine. In his next battle CRONAN's antagonist was Jimmy CONLEY of Cambridge. CRONAN fought at eight days notice and was defeated in six rounds. His next battle was with Joseph FEILDING of England, a four round draw, in New York. Dick's last battle was with Dan KENNALS of Florida, at Ebo City, Fla. CRONAN defeated him in the second round. CRONAN is now in Boston and is seeking a customer in the 140 pound class, where of late the fighting talk, and fistic engagements have been especially abundant. Died At Seal Cove, Friday's Bay, on the 17th inst., after a lingering illness, Mr. George SAMPSON, aged 86 years."
