If the Winter River Geheme” is ce be abandone:l before Mr. Mur- dock’s report is even received, we must leok about us for some other source of supply; and the nearer that source is to the city the better. The water question is one which must be solved: anc in ourepinion the seoner we set seriously abeut the work the better. The exhibitions we bave lately had of quelling tirea with tc. acups and buckets, the great cost of obtaining pure water by the bucketful, the difficulty of securing cleanliness, so necessary to health and comfort, the high rates of insa- rance we a: > paying—all these things combine to force the Water Question upon the consi deration of citizens.

Sensitive Railway Metals. The London Graphic received by las; mail contains the following paragraph :—
‘‘ The accidental displacernent of rails is known to be a fruitful source of railway disaster. The rains and floods of winter usually occasion the mischief, but it seems that the ‘iron horse” has an even more insidieus enemy than accumulated storm. water to threaten it and to imperil its swift career. ‘(he danger in question is one, moreover, that these who can restrict their railway travelling to serene summer time, is not exempt from. Oneday last week an excursion train was jogging on its peaceful way on the Caledonian Railway at the rate, fortunately, of not more than fifteen miles an hour, when on approaching Auchinraith the engine suddenly left the metals, sliding down an embankment about ten feet deep turned and lay on its side, dragging with it a composite carriage and part of the next ene, the remainder keeping their position on the line. The driver and stoker were badly sca ded, and several persons mere or less shaken, but no lives were lost. Inves- tigation into the canse of the accident shewed tliat the rails, which were of steel, and of the heaviest kind made, had ‘* bulged,” owing to the heat of the sun, and further examination disclosed the startling fact that at a pomt only forty yards distant from the first disturbance, and on the dewn line the rails were bulged eight inches from their original position, carrying the sleepers with them. The bent rails were preserved for the Government
inspector, who will, no doubt, give the!
matter the attentiou it deserves, especially as regards the quality of the metal of which the rails are composed. There are all manner of new and improved processes for the manufacture of railway running gear, and it may possibly be found that some sorts of steel are more sensitive to solar heat than others. Anyhow, it is to be hoped tliat the eccentric behaviour of the metals »¢ Auchinraith is capable ef explan- ation. Just at.this tinie of the year when pleasure trains are mest crowded, and the sun's rays are fiercest, it would’ be awkward
were it admitted that under certain pe-|
euliar at mospherical conditions the rigidity even of steel rails could not be guaranteed, ner the imperturbability of sleepers de- pended on.”’ — eo

MacNab, is untenable and unsupported by i} } public opinion.
When the the
read was being built,
W ould
| Putriot contended that tt for passenger traffic—so sharp were the curvatures and 389 steep the gradients.
The percentage of accidents has, however, been small in comparison with those of other railways; and six and a half years passed away before a single passenger was
injured { But it must not be forgotten
that while yet all the sleepers were sound beyond a doubt, avd while Mr. McKechnie, in whom the Patriot always expressed the most unbounded confidence, was yet super- intendent of the read, trains left the track and the cars were as much er more injured than they were in the disaster of the 25th ult. And if similar accidents occurred when the roadbed was perfectly sound, is it not fair to assume that the late accidgnt was not caused by rotten sleepers !
When the Putriof would have the public believe that the conductors, drivers, brakes- men, and all other train hands engaged on the railway are so sordid that they would rather imperil their lives, every day and hour, than—for fear of lesing their situ- ations—complain that the road is in a dangerous state, it is not at all wonderful that he scriples not to say that the de- liberate statements of she readmasters and the section men are faise. It is not, how- ever, likely that men who have always been considered thoroughly reliable, men who were appointed when the late Government was in power and who have been retained all these years because of their efficiency and general good conduct, would blast their established reputations by putting their
names to statements which they knew could be disproved. But however this may be, it is a fact
that during the last fourteen months nearly as many new sleepers were put inte the roal-bed as were put in during the thirty-four month's immediately preced- ing! About fifty-two thousand (52,000) new sleepers have been put in since Mr. MaeNab tovk charge of the road. During a period, immediately preceding, double as long as that in which Mr. MacNab has held oflice.abont fifty-five thousand (55,000) sleepers were put in. The truth of Mr. Houle’s statement that ‘‘ the same number of men have been employed all along on this and other sections as were employed formerly, and no reduction in the staff of track repairers has been made,” is also capable of verification.
A well-informed gentieman, who is per- haps mere interested than most men in the community (from the fact that he. travels more) told the writer yesterday that the railway track between Charlotietown and Summerside, at least, ‘‘is in excellent condition.”
{In one ef the articles which adorn this morping’s Putriot, it is said that
‘The sleepers are apparentiy rettenas tin- der throughout the line, the rails are of the poorest description, and the whole concern is
trumpery.” If this were so, how would it be possible for the railway te carry trains *

City Council.
tn
A special meeting of the City Council was held lastevening. Present—His Worship the Mayor, Councillors Ings, Beer, Lawson, Davy, Smith, Byrne and Morris.
As cight Councillors were not present, no- thing could be done about the proposed horse and carriage bye-law.
WATER WORKS.
Councillor Morris moved and Councillor Byrne seconded the following resolution:—
Resolved, that a competent Engineer be procured to make a survey and estimate of the probable cest of putting down a pipe to con- vey water from the spring at Spring Park to a
Cerner.
The resolution was carried, and a commit- tee, consisting of Councillors Morris, Lawsen and Ings, was appointed to carr y it out,
THE MARKET MOUSE, Councillor Smith asked for information as te the painting of the Market House.
to give the Market House twe coats of paint had been let to Mr. David Bethune for $245—the werk to be commenced atthe beginning of next week.
FINANCIAL,
Councillor Beer said $25,000 were wanted in order that the City Council might fulfil its engagements this year. But $9,860 had, so far, been paid in; and $15,139 yet remained to be paid. Councillor Beer advised the issue ef a “notice to rate-payers,” and stringent measures if it were not attended to.
MICHAEL DALEY.
Counciller Byrne moved that payment of the taxes of M. Daley be not enforced because he is @ poor man and only occupied the house for which he was taxed during three weeks of the year for which the tax was levied. On the other hand it was urged that the tax was }due at the time it was demanded, and if Mr. | Daley's request were granted, many other ci4izans in sumilar positions would ask and be entitled to similar favors.— Motion lost. | RENTS OF MARKET STALLS, ETC,
Councillor Ings moved for a return of all ‘amounts overdue for rents of market stalls »and cellars. —Carried.

Counvillor Byrne remarked severely upon the absence of cartain Councillors, on every oecasion on which the Horse and Carriage Bye-Law was to be brought up.
