The Vote To-day. To-pay, in the election io States, probably not less than teu millions of votes will be cast. In 188: ), lo the Gartield-Haneock the whole number of votes was nive millions three huudrei thousand. In the late Ohio State election, the increase over the vote of 1880 was more than 50,000; and New York City the increase in registra tiou of voters has been over 40,009. As

contest,

the campaigu has been a heated one every available vote will be broughi out.

_ re P. B. Island Railway.

T ae annual official inspection of the P, E. Railway, was finished to-day. We have no doubt, that Messrs. Schreiber and Archibald found the road in excel

isnt condition. At any rate,the people of the Island are, on the whole, very satisfied with it, and with the way

vhich it is managed. After about six Liberal-Conservative Govern- there is scareely a word of ymplaint about it. The road bed aad 1g stock are in first-class order; and

e officers generally, from the Superia- eadent down, are capable and courteous. If f res and freight were reduced about a third, there would be nothing whatever

\ , of

io « nplain about. Tris being the case, it is mot sur i a that bo fe sling r of the people wards Mr. Sehreiber has undergone a rai ked ae When appointed, he -as regarded with distrust—the result

if misrepresentation and abuse ; but, by his eunduct of our railways, he has howa that his appoistment by Sir Charles Tupper was emivently jadicious, and he has fully vindicated himself.

As it ‘St: ‘ikes the Strange!

Me. J. S. O'Hattoran, Secretary of the Royal Colonial Institute of London, has a letter in a first-class Eaglish sg ual, respecting Prince Edward Island, o Which he was a visitor a few weeks ago. He says :—

‘* The jaded Londoner who desires to recuperate hisexhausted energies by lead ing the ‘ gentle life’ in a primitive fashion, might do far worse than pass a part of the summer vacation in this ‘tight li:tle island,’ the climate and scenery of which, coupled with its special characteristic of tranquil repose, have much to recommend it to the notice of the travelling pebiie.’

Afier describing ways of coming to the Island, he continues :-—

** Prince Eiward Island occupies much the same position in relation to Canada that Tasmania doesto the mainland of Aus- tralia. Althougn it lies somewhat off the beaten track of visitors, and the young islanders are drawn away by the attractions of more bustling centres of population, those who remain appear to be blessed with a happy contentment, which is more to be desired than riches. Large fortunes are not made here, but commendable thrift is practised, and there is consequently little poverty. The prohibition ot the retail sale of alcoholic drinks (which measure is submitted to a plebiscite of the inhabitants every three years) has a most appreciable effect on the savings bank deposits, and at the same time on the dimination of crime, the statistics of which are such as might be expected in a community amidst which poverty and drunkenness are conspicuous by their absence. It is true that the illicit retail sale of alcoholic drinks prevails to a certain extent, as elsewhere. ‘The ‘‘Sectt Act” must, however, exercise an important influence on the rising generation, and ic wartaly advocated by the gentler sex. The importation of wine in bulk for home con sumption by families is not prohibited un- der the provisions of the Act. Education

sft to all. “The island was nally

heavdy timbered; but the larger ara has cleared, and the visitor cannot fail +o pressed by the English aspect of the iy landscape and the thoroughly hom .

.o .ppearance of the peo; le.

‘h Islaad,pos: sesse3 many attractions as a a\cring- place, as well as to the yachtsman id the sportsman. There is gor ad £ea- shiig, and the rivers abound with trout.

Wile geese and ducks, partridges, plover,

w oc eoek, snipe, hares, &:., are to be had

mm ticir season. As the autumn advances,

the :1ore sombre foliage is already being

lit» by the golden and flawe-colored hnes

Orly

if > maple leaves. The air is fresh and brac ~g and the sky of azure clearness. To of moderate means, who have some qv ‘intance with agricultural pursuits,

ud sre not afraid to work with their hands, he Island offers afair field. Improved ‘avms of LOO acres (which are deemed sufti- eh. to support a family) and upwards, uay be purchased at from £4 to £10 per acre, including improvements. Atteution has long been given to the bree ding of stock, and th e| horses, cattle and sheep of the Island | we favorably known in the markets of Canada and the United States. Root crops —euch as potatoes and turuips—yield abun dentiy, and the herbage is excellent. The chiet drawback to a permanent residence seems to be that ordinary navigation closes for four months from about the middle ‘of December. During this communication with the mainland is maintained (with oc- casional interruptions) by a steamer of Special construction and by ice boats, the happy islanders making light of the liability of their being cut off for @ season from com- munication with the outer oem *, *,;' The writer can confidently recommend sum mer travellers who seek calm repose ,bracing air, healthful recreation, agreeable ‘society, and cheap living, on no account to pass without a Vist to @ province that has justly been described as the yvarden of Canada. We are indebted to Mr. O’Halloran for making known to the people of England, the advata, des possessed by the Island. A first class h: tel or two would, undoubtedly, make the attractions of the [sland for summer tourists irresistable.

When shall we see a first class hotel in Charlottetdwo! vp!

A Fatal Foot Bail Atebdiins.

' <A fatal accident occurred at the Foot) | Ball Match in St. John, on Saturday, be- tween the Bankers team and a team of |

young men from the city, The Telegraph | gives the following particulars :—

The bank clerks, who had been very) confident of success before the contest opened, felt very much discouraged at the manner in which the game was going and played with greater energy than ever, but they were again overmatched and George W. Jones, who had got possession of the ball was running with it towards the yoal Twoother players, who had been on the sides of the field, ran towards with hope of

age, saw that Jones would undoubtedly pass the other two runners and he being the

goal-keeper, charge | for him to get the ball

away. Hannah knew when he made the dash for Jones that if he were aot successful in throwing =him the opposing team would likely gain another goal. With the single

idea of capturing and throwing his man, he rushed headlong forward. Jones, while running, had been watching the other two closing down upon him, and studying the distance so that he wou!d pass between them, had not observed Hannah coming straight for him. He continued to run at full speed, but had not gone far when he came in contact with sumething and fell. Hannah, who was also going very fast, had struck his head against Jones’ left leg, a few inches above the knee, and fallen, Jones tumbling on top. At first it was thought that nothing serious had occurred, and the play continued. Ina few seconds,

accident, and died on Sunday.

A Glasgow Horror.

SIXTEEN PERSONS KILLLED OWING

ALARM OF FIRE.

TO A FALSE

A terrible accident occurred at the Star Theatre, Glasgow, Scotland, onthe night | of the Ist inst. Daring the performance meone raised a cry of ‘ fire.” In an instant the immense audience was on its feet and rushed towards the doors. The aisles became blecked and a. terrible struggle ensued, men and women fainting and tramping on each other in their frantic efferts to reach the street, The efforts of the agcrs, atded by the cooler headed of | the audience, were finally successful in persuading those in the rear that there was no fire avd the pressure gradually lessened, allowing those in front to get into the street. When the panic subsided and the theatre was cleared it was found that six- teen persons had been killed. Twelve were fatally and many others badly hurt, while the cerridor, aisles and vestibules were strewn with articles of clothing, jewelry, ete. The alarm was caused by a discharged workman out of revenge for his dismissal. He was arrested.
