Mr. Brydge’s Management.

(From the Halifax Herald.)

He tried under the most favorable cir- cumstances.

He had a splendid road.

He had falling prices all around him.

tle had two seasons of weather the finest that could be imagined for a winter railway

experiment.

And what, we say, was the result? Why, this! That in his last report this Napoleon of Railways, this Professor of Economy, is compelled to show that his expenses are not more by 114 per cent. of his earnings, Bur ACTUALLY 143 PER CENT. !

Mv. Brydges did not contine himself to general statements : he was going to carry economy into every department ; and yet after all his efforts, we find the following

RESULT OF ECONOMY !

I Jepartment. Tnerease.

Engineer’s, 5 4,060 Cashier’s, 300 Paymaster’s, 1,200 Mechanical, 2,040 Stores, 1,918 Acct. and Audit, 6,000 Superintendent's 10,000 Enzineer’s, 4,060

Total, $29,578

This was another very charming economic result of Mr. Brydges’ management, of which the Reformers can hardly boast with satisfaction. There was nothing to justify this increase. There was everything to favor the decrease which had been promised, but which was not carried out—perhaps never intended to be carried out.

Mr. Alexander Mackenzie stated in the House of Commons in 1877 that the deficit of the then current half year would be only $13,000. This statement was misleading, and was meant to mislead. The actual deficit at the end of the year was more than half a million dollars.

count for, the Government and Mr.

Brydges are forced to admit that iron had

gone down 50 per cent., and that the aver-

age cost of stores was only one-half what was paid by the old Government when prices ruled higher. Can anything be plainer than that either corruption, ex- travagance er gross mismanagement has prevailed on the railway / — ~~ 0D 0 ae THE McCARTHY MURDER. NICKERSON, M’CARTHY’S COUSIN, GIVES EYI- DENCE—THE OSBORNES TOLD HIM THAT M CARTHY WAS TRERE AT 12 o’cLocK, ON ocT. 121TH. DorcHeEster, Aug. 2, At 2.45 o’clock, JOHN A. NICKERSON, of Shediac, a cousin of Timothy MeCarthy’s, was called and examined by Mr. Hanitig- ton. He testified to being present when the body was found and that the rubber coat and great coat were each buttoned with two buttons and the body coat with one. The rubber coat was buttoned across the waist and open at the chest. He de- seribed the condition of the body when found, and said it was not touched till the coroner came, at whose order he examined the body. He unbottoned the coats and took out the articles already mentioned in evidence. He accompanied the body from the river to Sweeney’s shed, where it was deposited. He testified to being in the

Waverly House several times, and to stop-

ping there two nights. He only saw the

outside bar door open but once, and that on the day Osbornes moved to Shediac.

He also described how the casks were lo-

cated in the bar. He talked with Mrs.

Osborne and Eliza about the 4th or 5th

November, in their house, when he asked

them what time McCarthy was there on

Oct. 12th, and they told him about 12

o'clock, or a little before. While starting

away, they called Annie, who said Me- Carthy left at a quarter to 12. He asked | Annie how she knew, and she replied that | she was nearly done scrubbing at the time, | and looked at the clock. This conver- | sation arose from what they told him | about McCarthy and Eliza quarreling | about the buttons on the McGinnis girl’s | polonaise. He told them he was going to) search the Adams House for McCarthy’s | body, and wanted to know at what time | McUarthy left the Waverly Hotel. After | describing how he searched the Adams! House witness said that Mrs. Osborne, while | he was in the Waverly House, in November or December, gave him a copy of the Mone- ton Times with Annie Parker’s story of the | murder init. After reading it he said to her it wasa queer story. Mrs. Osborne) also told him about Mrs. McCarthy throw-. ing a flour barrel at her husband and that she would never have a chance to do it, and that she might set her heart at rest that she never would see him again. To all this he made no reply. He was in the bar-room on the morning of Oct. 13th and noticed the | floor. It had been newly scrubbed. Chip. | Smith was with him at the time and Mrs. | Osborne waited on them. He saw a hatchet on the head of a cask in the bar on one oc- casion, but could not fix the date though it

was before he saw the serubbing. He never

but once saw the floor had been scrubbed, though he visited the house almost con- stantly. He was a contractor, farmer, lumber operator and general trader.

Cross-examined by Mr. Palmer.—I live three miles from the Osborne House. I visited other bar-rooms, but not so often into Weldon’s. I always did an honest business. I never stole any buffalo robes from Gallant. I never stole hay from Car- penter. 1 swore myself clear of a child once with your help, Mr. Palmer. I said there was not one word of trath in this. I did not pay up on that case to get clear of per- jury. I have heer a_ witness two or three times in my life. I did not hear Judge Wilmot tell a jury not to believe one word of my evidence. I did not swear at Moncton that I saw the hatchet in the bar. He did not manufacture the story since then, but thought he told it to Dr. Tuck and Edward McCarthy. He did not actin concert with Sheriff Botsford to hunt up McCarthy; his memory was middling good; he was a constable. If he had been in- structed by the sheriff he would remember it. After questioning the witness as to the power of his memory, Mr. Palmer made the witness repeat, word for word, his conver- sation with Mrs. Osborne and Eliza relative to McCarthy’s disappearance. This being done, so far as the witness could remember, he was further interrogated as to the day and date of its occurrence and as to what Eliza said at that time. Mr. Palmer read from his deposition at Moncton to show that the witness then swore that Eliza said McCarthy left the Waverly House at 12 o'clock, and asked the witness how it was that he left Eliza’s name totally out of his story. To-day, he said, he told all he re- membered of it. That Mrs. Osborne did talk about ten minutes, but he could not remember more of their conversation. He did not remember that the Riley girls’ names were introduced in that conversa- tion, and did not know that they were gay girls. He might have said so at Moncton and forgotten it since, but if he swore to it, it must be true. He never had another conversation with the Osbornes about Mc- Carthy being there about 12 o’clock at night. He would swear that Eliza told him that once. He would not swear that she said so twice and never swore to it that she did. Mr. Palmer here read from witness’ deposition at Moncton that ‘‘Eliza told'me as much as twice,” and asked him ifthe swore to that. Witness replied that it might be so, but intimated that -it was a clerical error in taking down his evidence. Being asked how often Mrs. Osborne told him that McCarthy was there till near 12 o'clock, he said she knew she did so once or twice; they might have said either at 12 o’cleck or about 12 o'clock. He didn’t know which. Mr. Palmer having read over nearly all of Nick- erson’s evidence as given at Moncton, the witness said it was erroneously taken down, for he did not then swear he was suspicions of ‘the Kiley girls. Mr. Palmer reading further that “it struck me as a suspicious circumstance that they left.” Witness de- nied usiug these words exactly. He did not know the girls. Never said to Chesley Tait or E. J. Smith that McCarthy said if his wife followed him she would have the damnedest chase she ever had. He was asked at Moneton if he ever was cl with stealing and then replied something about logs. He did not decline to answer the question as stated in the declaration, He wouid swear he did not state at Mone- ton that he had only ene conversation with the Osbornes as erroneously put down by the magistrates. Being asked why he did not teli this second conversation, witness could give no satisfactory reply, nor could he tell why he had kept the hatchet story back till now, It was the same with the flour barrel story. Mr. Palmer then read witness’ deposition made at the inquest comparing it with his evidence to-day, and questioning witness about the discrepancies, several of which witness attributed to errors made by the clerk in taking it down. He finally swore positively, after about an hour's cross-examination on this point, that he told the sheriff the conversation-with Mrs. Osborne before the examination at Moncton. The Sheriff had never instrucet- him to report all he knew from time te time, nor did witness promise to do so.

He was still on the stand when the court adjourned at six o'clock.

Doxcuester, Aug. 3.

This morning Nickerson’s cross-examina-

tion was resuined and finished, and MRS. ELIZABETH ATKINSON,

wife of farmer Atkinson, was next called. She testified to hearing a noise like a wagon on the night of the 12th October. “She knows it was the 12th, because the men threshing that day. She thought the noise was in the lane, but it might have been in the field. She thought it was her son com- ing home, but she could see or hear nothing when she went to the door.

EDWARD A, WELCH, farmer, of Shediac, was called, and testified to being at the Osborne House, and seein Harry with a rubber on one foot. He his foot was sore.

To Mr. Palmer—Witness said he never told this until a week or ten days ago, and was only in Shediac two days during the inquest. He said he did not remember who was by, or where they stood, when Harry told him his foot was sore.

of Shediac, was sworn. He gave a full description of his resi- dence and the men ing for him on the

12th October, and of the location of his last
