Among Mr. I'higlls' .new i-ityw neiiuaintanoos were a young lawyer, to whom he confided ills IntiMitioa uf Inking rooms in a boarding house. It was so much quieter. The lawyer mentioned casually the name of a lady who nmnoges an exclusive boarding house on Mansfield street, Knglls straight way proceeded there, and giving tho lawyer as his reference, had himself in stalled in Ills Hew cpmrtorsr,' His next, move was to replace hls.vunlshed ward- rube. In his conversation with tho lawyer ho learned tho nni'no of that eontletnan's tailor, a well-known merchant, and pre- M-ntlng himself there as a personal friend of the lawyer, ho obtained1 a stock of chillies on credit. On Friday afternoon last Mr. Knglls'presented himself at the Herald allien, and after introducing him self, requested that the following personal bn inserted: "Senator Mclnnis, t>f ilrlt- Ish Columbia, is expeeied In Montreal on April 12, on business connected with the opening of the session. Captain Knglls, secretary to the .Senator Is at the St. Lawrence hall." What his object was may be surmised. The peculiar methods of tho young man and his story of a poli tical conspiracy aroused a some suspicion, audi ii answer to a telegram sent yeBtor- tlay to Senator Melnncs, at Victoria,B.C., th "To Kditor Herald,Montreal, jlavo no private boc- rotnry in"Montreal*; know no HUch person as Kngils.
