The railway situation in the British Col.\u2018wmbia mining country continues to excite interest and the papers from that section devote considerable attention to the subject.Under the heading: \u201cWhat will Mr.Corbin Do?\u201d the Rossland Miner .Gays: \u201cIt has been seldom, if ever, the case .In railroapl development that a situation \u2018 so interesting has been seen as that now \u201c presented in southern British Columbia.\u2018After three or four years of development \u2018ft is suddenly discovered that we have w country of infinite possibilities in the matter of railroad traflic.Three great transcontinental systems are contending for the vantage ground with one man, MD.C.Corbin, holding the key to the entire situation.; \u201cAll three of the transcontinental lines are trving to absorb the Spokane Falls & Northern and its two important branch fines, the Nelson & Fort Sheppard and the Red Mountain.Should either one secure the prize a tremendous advantage is at once secured.Especially would this the case if the Canadian Pacific should be the successful bidder, for it already has the Columbia river and the lakes, in addition to.its rail connections.\u201cBut will President Corbin sell to the Canadian, Pacitic, Northern Pacifia, Great Northern or anvbody else?We are inclined to think he will not unless he gets a very big price indeed.In the first place he has a system which is very profitable and which in the very nature of things must become much more profitable.It is a system when completed which will have one central trunk line with three branches.Two of these branches, the Nelson & Fort Sheppard and Red Mountain railways, are alreadv completed.The third branch, the one to go into the boundary country, will probably be built this year, The third and last branch is to cover e larger territory and one of more varied resources than either of the others.\u201cThe conception and execution of such & railway system, must, when completed, reflect great honor on its author, and ive him a position that might be envied by any other railway man in America.Tt may not be the largest svstem of railway in the country, but it will be perhaps the neatest, most compast, most symmetrical, and most profitable per mile of actual road from the Atlantic to the Pacific.\u201cThe possibilities of a railway system occupying such: a position are not to be measured by what is now in sight.We must look forward three, four or five years to gather an idea of its real possi- ilities, \u201cWe are inclined to the belief that the best interests of southern British Columbia would be served by the preservation of both the Corbin and Heinze systems of railway in their separate and individual capacity.Thev will serve as balancing powers between the three great transcontinental systems which are now contending for the supremacy here.\u201d _ In another article entitled: \u201cFrom the C.P.R standpoint,\u201d the same paper says: \u201cThe Spokane Falls and Northern railway with its allied lines has long bcen ® thorn in the side of the Canadian Pacific.But for its existence the latter road would have controlled the traffic of all South Kootenay, even from so remote & point as Revelstoke.Should the system become a portion of -either the Nor thern Pacific or Great Northern railways it would be a worse thorn in the Canadian Pacific's flesh than ever.Tts capacity for mischief from the C.P.R.standpoint would be enormously increased aud a division of traffic would be a certainty for all time to come.\u201cIt is evident therefore that at this ftage of the game it behooves the C.P.R.to get control of the Corbin road to protect its own interest.But apart from this view of the question the C.P.R.has good reason for desiring to get possession of the Corbin system.Spokane is one of the most important tonnage centres in the Northwest and with the comple tion of the Crow\u2019s Nest railway the C.P.R.would have a direct all-rail line from such points as Boston, New York, Buffalo Duluth, St.Paul and Minneapolis to Spokane.It would also obtain an all-rail line from the centre of.Washington\u2019s wheat field to the coast and a short and direct route for transporting flour for shipment to China on its Empress line of tteamers.The C.P.R.has distinetly more to gain by acquiring the Corbin system and more ose bv sceing it pass into other hands than either of its competitors.\u201d NOTES FROM THE MINES, The option taken some time ago by Montreal people on the Rossland water and light plant will not be taken up.Definite word to that effect was received last week.W.N.Norman, who went to Montreal to close the deal, is now trying to organize a com any to bring electric power from the Pend d\u2019Oreille \u201cer, The Mother Lode Gold Mining company as been incorporated with a capital stock ot $1,000,000.The trustees arc W.I, Grubb, J.T.Daniels, W.L.Root, C.J.Santee and J.F.Foster.\u2019 The Miller Creek Mining company has \u20accn incorporated, with a capital of SI.110.9%.e trustees are E.J.Field, C.{.Thompson, H.C.Bell, A, J.Ross, F.Sp Davis, J.M.Armstrong and W!

deed of Jim Hemsworth.\u2018Che hoisting machinery at the shaft mouth broke and a heavy bucket was rapidly descending on two men at the bottom when IHemsworth threw himself on the hoist and his arm caught in the cogs and was terribly lacerated, but he stopped the descending bucket.Superintendent Shields blocked the machinery and released the lucky Hemsworth.When asked was 1e hurt much he only said: \u201cD\u2014\u2014 the difference so long as L saved the boys.\u201d Hemsworth will be well cared for until his injury is better.Superintendent Shields said yesterday that in all his mining experience of twenty-five years and his experience in mine disasters he had never witnessed a more heroie effort to save the life of fellow-workmen than that exhibited by Jim Hemsworth.JIDNAPPED IN DAY-TIME _\u2014_\u2014- Conrad Harrington Carried by Force to the Country Where He Was Set I'ree in Open Field Unhurt\u2014Robbery Not the Object, Nor Revenge.Several days ago Conrad Harrington, the 12-year-old son of Prof.Harrington of McGill University had rather a startling experience.He had been skating with some other boys at à private rink, and about 6.30 was standing on St.Catherine Street near Fort Street, waiting for a comrade.Ide had his back to the street.Suddenly he was grabbed roughly round J x TEES | | 3 NN su y ALD.RAINVILLE.Liberal Nominee in St.Louis Division.the neck and flung into a sleigh.He was then covered up with a thick robe.\u2018Lhe man, of whom he gotgbut a single glimpse and saw nothing, but a bearded face well muffled up, then sat on him.All was done so quickly that he had no time to give.the alarm.The man drove rapidly away, and unbuckled the strap from the boy\u2019s skates to whip Lis horse with, After driving what seemed a long distance the unknown flung the boy from the sleigh and threw his skates and hockey stick after him, retaining only the strap.He drove away quickly and was soon out of sight.The boy found himself on a large open field toward the west end of the mountain, through which ran a hali- beaten cart track, but he did not recognize the place, nor were there any lights by which te guide him, except the distant city light.He walked towards the mountain and came to Sherbrooke Street, reaching home after a long and weary tramp about 9.30 in the evening.Mis parents were naturally anxious, and his father was just going in search of him when he met him in the University grounds.There is no cliie whatever by which to trace the cowardly driver.Conrad Har- ringfon did not see him distinctly enough to give even the slightest description of him.Nor does he know the field where the man left him.The object of such action on the part of anyone ïs hard to account for.No injury was done, Harrington in any way.That it was a joke is hard to believe.That it was done in a spirit of revenge seems harder still, as during the whole time, the man never spoke.but kept humming to himself.This might almost give the idea that he was insane.Whatever the reason, so many things of this nature have happened lately that it is time the police took further steps to protect the citizens.M'GILL PRIZE WINNERS.The Names of Successful

decrease of $1,035: legislation, $2,300; agriculture, $4.831; hospitals and charities, $8,892.70; maintenance and repairs, $1,919; public buildings, $98, 476; public works, $11,973; colonization

Lauds, $33,336: refund account, $9,077.97; statute consolidation, partially a re-vote, $10,000.The decrease in agriculture is accounted for by the fact that special votes were placed in the estimates last year for the Agricultural and Arts Association, the Ontario Creameries Association and the Eastern Dairy School, also by a reduced estimate for the pioneer dairv farms.Under the head of hospitals and charities, the grant to insti- tutiong coming within the class linown as schedule B, has been cut from $59,996 to £51,305.Grants aggregating $9,000, provided last year for the Huron, Leeds and Grenville, and Flgin refuges, were not estimated for, while sums totalling $8,000 for the Perth and Hamilton refuges are inserted.Upon public buildings there will be an expenditure on capital account of $109,155, and repairs amounting to $14, 900.At Hamilton $15,525 will De required, of which $10,000 is to complete the infirmary building.At Brockville the expenditure will be $15,800, the principal item being $6,500 for balance of contracts for completing main building and cottages and medical superintendent\u2019s residence, and $5,000 for furniture, furnishings, etc.BUSINESS TENSION.President of the Ottawa Board of Trade Discusses the Present Tariff Conditions.Ottawa, Feb.17\u2014Mr.M.C.Ross, president of the Ottawa Board of Trade, in his inaugural address, spoke of the tariff question and Canada\u2019s relations to Uncle Sam.He said :\u2014\u201cIt is mucli to be deplored that the general condition of business throughout the country is not satisfactory.The tension caused by anticipated taritf changes is having its effect.I do not urge that it ig-because of any doubt in the minds of business men as to the intentions of the Government.It is rather the certainty of a lower tariff that is the cause of diminished imports.Any business firm would act unwisely to import freely on the eve of a lower tariff, The mnfortunate part of the situation is the unavoidable delay into the spring, before which all importers will require to have made their estimates and imported their goods.I believe, however, that this short period of suspense will have its good results.It will ower the stocks throughout the country, lessen debts and overdrafts, and we will be better prepared for the new order of things.The commercial community has been burdened by over importing and overproducing; too much of our business is done by drawing upon the future.If, therefore, a temporary check is given to importing and to manufacturing, it will not be without a favorable issue, if it has now its embarrassing side.But beyond and apart from this, there can be no manner of doubt that Canada has come to the parting of the ways as to trade outlets.With a hostile and almost irreconciliable nation to the south, placing frowning tariff barriers against our products, obstacles ot either distance or tariff in nearly every other direction, Canada should become aroused to the great chances that are laying open to us in the Mother Country.1 am glad to know that the Government intends to give the most liberal treatment to the matter of cold storage in ocean carriers.Our interest lies much more in developing this business than in a fast steamship service, for which a very large sum annually must be paid, and which can be of little real benefit more than to provide passenger accommodation by purely Canadian vessels.The uncertainty of our northern route will ever be a barrier to fast sailing ships.\u201d EPWORTH LEAGUE.Successful Meeting Held in Aimprior on Monday Evening\u2014Quebec Curlers to Play.Arnprior, Feb.17.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The meeting of the Epworth League on Monday evening was a literary {reat to those who attended; the topic being \u201cThe Life and Works of Whittier.\u201d The chair was occupied by Miss Elliott.After the usual exercises the programme was presented, the first number being a reading by Miss Wickets, the next a duet by Miss Nettleton and Mr.A.W.Sinclair.Then Miss Emily Mohr was called upon for an essay on Whittier, his life, and works of which Miss Mohr gave a splendid description, showing that his poems besides being works of art were founded upon the great questions of the day, also the intense interest he took in the anti-slavery question.Miss Kenny then gave a reading being one of Whittier's best works.After the closing hymn was sung, the benediction was pronounced and the meeting came to a close._ Mr.L.E.Dorway leit for Kinburn to make arrangements for the Independent Band concert to be given there on the lst of March.Miss Laura Johnston returned home vesterday, after an absence of some days visiting friends in Almonte.The Grand Central Canada Curling bon- spiel opens here today.e Quebec curlers will compete

Plummer, manager of the Bank of Montreal, and on an alarm being given the culprits were seen making off.The police were telephoned, and a light snow having fallen, tracing the burglars was a comparatively easy matter.Three lads named John Sinclair, Frank Cast and James Fitzgibbons, were found enjoying the pros \\ ceeds of their steal, consisting of mative wine, ete, in à car in the Grand Trunk vards.On being brouzht before the Police Magistrate.Sinclair and Fitzgibbone pleaded guilty to the charge, and also of having visited Mr.Plummer\u2019s cellar on à previous occasion.Fitzsimmons

Hard to Prove That Hammond Poisoned His Wife Kate Tough.Bracebridge, Ont, TFeb.18.\u2014(Special.)\u2014At yesterday morning's ss sion of the Hammond murder trial two brothers of the deceased girl were examined.The defence impaired considerably the strength of that part of the Crown\u2019s theory that the prisoner, during the confusion which ensued when the dying girl was brought into the house, had gonc to her bed-room and placed prussic acid there.\u2018Two previous witnesses were examined on this point, one a Mr.Campbell had shortly after the girl was brought into the house heard foot steps in her bedroom overhead.Rev.| Mr.Burton had seen Hammond coming away from that part of the room where the stairway was situated.Neithe?of them knew that he had been up-stairs.When Frank Tough, the brother of the dead girl, was put in the box this morning he swore that after experiencing the odor from his sister's breath when she was brought into the house dying, he ad gone up-stairs to see if there was any bottle there which contained stuff With a similar smell, as he at once thought of poison.This was about 15 minutes after she was brought into the house.He found two bottles beneath the mattresses, .one of which contained prussie acid.He at first hid the bottles, thinking that his sister had committed suicide, but he afterwards replaced them beneath the mattress.He told his brother about what he had found.It was subsequent to this that the prisoner, Hammond, suggested that the girl had perhaps taken poison and advised a search of her room.Che witness said for a week he had been spying on his sister to see what letters she received.Rev.George Whitman, of Buffulo, testified to having married the prisoner under the name of James to Miss C.Tough on November 16th, 1895.Lhe second day of the Hammond trial closed at 6 p.m.eleven witnesses having given evidence uring the day.\u2018I'wenty- five witnesses have been examined since the case opened, and the Crown has about 2 dozen witnesses yet.To-day evidence was given by Toronto witnesses, showing where the deceased and prisoner had boarded, and full particulars about the efforts made by prisoner's father and his private detective in the one hand, and Detective Burrows on the other, to get possession of Katie Tough's trunk\u2019 were given.Ar.Hammond, sr., first got possession of the trunk and shipped it to Atherly.It is presumed that he learned that Constable Sloan was after it, and authority was then given Allandale Station to return it to Toronto, Detective Burrows heard of this and captured the trunk on its arrival.The trunk was taken to police headquarters and opened.Two letters from prisoner to deceased were read in court, One was dated \u201cToronto, February 28th, 1896,\u201d and commenced, \u201cMy Dear Kate,\u2014Am very sorry to have kept you waiting so long for your things, but am coming to-morrow and will bring it with me.\u201d The letter goes on to make an appointment for her to meet him shortly after his arrival in Gravenhurst.The letter is written in affectionate terms, and concludes with, \u201cI remain, lovingly yours, W.T.James.\u201d The second letter is written in Graven- hurst and is dated March 3, 1896, and reads as follows: \u201cMy Dear Kate\u2014Wrote vow on Saturday saying that if you would meet me I would give you the check, Now, I think it is very funny, indeed, for vou not to meet me, as it was on your account principally that I came up.If you want to get vour things, meet me this evening, about 8 p.m., between your place and Presbyterian

Be Not Unsympathetic With Weaker Vessels, First Ald to the Injured\u2014A Strain of Novelty Mixed With Well-born Desire for Knowledge.Some one writing of the Bradley-Martin ball, upheld the extravagances of the rich, and declared that reformers would better pay attention to the wastefulness of the poor, in the matter of funerals and mourning.Now as a matter of fact, the display at funerals and the trappings of woe are indulged in by the very poor when there is no reason in or for the habit, except the unreasoning reason of their grief, and the shackles of custom, which pinch even the poverty-stricken in some places.But then, the poor copy the rich, and so\u2014what would you?Isn\u2019t it queer to hear people talking about money in circulation, as if the cultivation of useless, frivolous arts, and the taking of money for unneeeded and wasteful creations was adding to the wealth of the world, If all the earth\u2019s sons and daughters sat down to gamble, money would circulate pretty freely, and the world be just as poor and just as rich when the game was done.Labor is at the bottom of all wealth\u2014true, useful labor, which gets to the end of its stent in a reasonable time, and has something finished when the lights go out at night.So very often when the pendulum of any movement swings, it swings too far.It is sometimes feared this is the case with the new woman.It is well to be strong, self-reliant, business-like, to have nerves under control and sympathies directed by reason and controlled by caution, but when the woman of to-day sets out to be an individual unit, she will be unhappy it she draws herself away from the sympathies of her kind.It is well to be independent, but don\u2019t be too independent.Don\u2019t scoff at the weaknesses which you think others are guilty of, and you are free from, until you are called hard and cold and unsympathetic, and there is a reason for calling you so.In all this world I think there is nothing so much needed as charity.We may differ from our best friends.We need not hate them on\u2019 that account.It is an erron- fous opinion that cannot stand side by side\u2019 with another, day in and day out, und live itself into accepted rightness.We may be right, and the rest may be wrong, but it cannot all be determined in a minute.Right and wrong are not definite colors, which may be separated.It will take eternity to get things properly adjusted for some people.Westmount has a large ladies\u2019 class in First Aid to the Injured, according to the tenets of the Central Ambulance Com- Mmittes of the Order of St.John of Jeru- ealem, which, I believe, is the full title of that distinguished body.The first lecture was given last week: another will be on Friday of this week.The initiatory lecture dealt almost wholly with the bony structure of the body and was highly interesting to those who had no previous knowledge of natifre\u2019s most excellent way of strengthening and protecting.There is a strain of novelty about these classes which are now being formed in many cities, that may attract some to the membership roll, but above and beyond that is the well-born desire which a good woman has, to be of service to the suffering, \u2018To know what to do in emergencies, and be equally decided about What not to do, is a particular blessing, and it will descend very surely upon those who take all there is in the lectures and stecp the knowledge in their brains.The required examination is given at the close of the course in which there are six lectures, , MADGE MERTON.ett.0 0 tr A WOMEN'S SHELTER, Description of a Mission on St.Urbain Street.It is Designed to Cara for Those Who Are Friendiess \u2014 Its Kindly Work.A very pleasant and entertaining evening Was given the children at the Ladies\u2019 Benevolent Institution, Berthelet street, on Tuesday last.The ladies who so kindly assisted with music and singing were Miss Howard, Miss Baile and Miss Hague.he children were most delighted and amused with the wonderful tricks of legerdemain as shown by Master John Hoy- aud.Master Boyland is a pupil of Pro- essor Henry, the well-known magician of 18 city.Exact!

SYNOPSIS.Smith, the housekeeper; Miss Ostrom, who has charge of the laundry work; Miss Grant, as general assistant.It has been found advisable to take in laundry work to provide necessary employment for the inmates, the work in the home itself not being sufficient.,À large room is set apart as the mission room.Here prayers are held every morning and eveniug, in which all the household join, and on Sunday afternoons and every Tuesday and Wednesday evenings services are held.The Rev.Mr.Me- Manus and the Rev.Dr.Rose each hold services regularly at the home.ere are sixteen small, neat bedrooms.it being deemed advisable for each inmate to have a separate room.The appearance of the home throughout is cheerful and comfortable, and the work dohe here 1s undoubtedly a great and an important one.The at object is to shelter and care for a | females who are poor and triend- less.\u2018Those who are received into the home are expected to obey the rules of the house, do whatever they are asked, and attend the services held in the house.No matter of what nationality or creed, here any poor creature will receive admittance and a helping hand.In many instances situations have been procured for the women, and by timely, help and counsel they have been rescude from leading lives of depravtiy and wretchedness.great many discharged prisoners come to the home, many of them coming direct from the prison.\u201cThis home and the Salvation Army Rescue Home appear to be the only two institutions that will receive these women.The necessity of looking more closely into the condition of female risoners is very great, and the need of ooking after them when they leave the prison is still more urgent.The Sheltering Home has done, and is still doing, much in this direction.and it is work that is greatly needed here.About a year ago the Royal Templars when in session sent to- Miss Barbour and asked her if she would Speak to them about her Rescue work.Miss Barbour did so, and the society expressed their wil lingness to help in the work.The plan adopted was to have a Royal Templa: rcom in the home, the society paying about $100 a year into the home to he p pay expenses, with the provision that they would In no way interfere with the workings of the home.Each occupant of the room learns of the Royal Templars, as their pledge, Bible, etc., are placed there.The Sheltering Home is a purely charitable institution, and only kept up by the generosity and kindness of warm, Christian hearts.WORLD OVER BRIEFS.What is Happening in Various Countries all Over the World.A despatch to the Dail Mail, London, from Cape Town says that the Trans- demnity Jameson.Rev.W.A.Foster, pastor of the First Christian Church of St.Louis, Mo,, has accepted a call from the West London Tabernacle of London Eng.He will sail March 6.Mr.Foster was born at Scipio, Ind., 40 years ago.on account of the raid of Dr.the Leland Hotel, at Jackson Street, in Chicago Tuesday night Klwood Leidy, of Philadelphia, was held up by three mask- men at eight o\u2019clock and robbed of $165 and a gold watch valued at $80.Albert Tedesch, an Italian barber at Mulberry Street, New York, was found dead in his shop.An autopsy showed that death was due to strangulation.Two Italians named Bettrict and Tickullo have been arrested on suspicion of knowing something of the murder.An action to secure insurance amounts ing to $6,000, brought by Edward R.Clark- son and others against the Western Assurance Company of Toronto, was moved for trial before Justice Woodward and a jury in part one of the Supreme Court Buffalo.The insurance is claimed on a policy on the steamer Northern.Thomas Bram condemned to death at Boston, is receiving flowers and poetry from women sympathizers, and also pictures to decorate his cell.A package received yesterday from an unknown hand included a letter of sympathy.Bram has recovered his nerve and these messages from outside seem to give him hope.Expert Ernest has filed a report of his examination of the books of De Kalb County, Indiana, and finds several officials short $30,000.Of this sum ex-Treasurer Fair is charged with nearly $12,000: ex- Auditor Coffinberry, $5,400;
