For some time past it has been known that the Government have been at work investigating the cause of the recent attempt at trainewrecking near Newport station. Deetctive Skettington, of the railway department, and Detective Power, of Halifax, have had the case in hand.

A number of witnesses were ex- mined on the part of the crown, viz: Con- ductor Margeson and brakeman Brown of the train that met with the disaster, Richard Hamilton (colored), of Three Mile Plains, his son Alexander, Maud Miles, Maria Fielding, ind Wm. King. Several other witnesses were subpeenaed on the part of the crown but were not cailed.

There was no evidence whatever adduced to throw suspicion wpon the other two prisoners.

TOWN TOPICS.

What is being Talked of on the Sireets and Elsewhere.

The Scott Act campaign has fairly set in, Those in favor of the Act are determined to fight hard, so also are those in favor of repeal. Those who are working in the in- | terests of the Act designate their opponents as being in league with the illicit rum- sellers, Seeing that illicit selling has in- creased to an alarming extent since the Act became law, it strikes me that the remark is much more appropriately used when applied te the individuals who designate themselves ** the temperance party,

* .

That the Scott Act is not a measure eal- culated to promote temperance goes ‘with- out saying. We have found that out long Tis true it has succeeded in making « criminal in a legal sense. But doos it ina moral sense? Not \ dealer may go down to jal for three months and he will not: lose

for him. Let him go down for any.ather ‘crime,”’ and see how publié opinion. will act. The Act interferes too much with the liberty of the subject, and as a consequence does not command the respect of our other- wise law-abiding citizens. This-is one. of the many reasons why it has failed.

*

ke Then tle Act itself is defective. [t has not the winchinery inecessary for its successful enforcement The dealer can

sell over the couuter all the week—with several summonses for violation ef the Act and on Sunday can walk

or drive about the streets at his own sweet will. Heisa ‘‘ criminal,” yet the officers f the law cannot take him in» charge.

Lots of Sunday selling but no Sunday arrest ruly ‘“‘we temperance men” should raiiy round the banner. * * * ‘**What guarantee have we; ask the

‘*temperance men,” ‘that if the Scott Act is repealed the License Law will restrict the sale of liquors?” This question can well answered by asking another, viz..: ‘*What guarantee have we that the Scott Act, if sustained, will be better enforced in the future thau it has been inthe past ?” A license law, no matter how badly it is enforced, is vastly superior to the reign of ‘‘free rum” which has sprung up under the benign influence of the Scott Act. The men who keep a “blind” grocery, with a bar in the rear, are among the warmest advocates of the Scott Act to-day.

Nowa word or two about Queen Square. It certainly is a beautiful spot and.is being made more so every year. The man who is at the head of the affair, whe, early -and late is at his post, certainly deserves some mark of public reeognition. That man” is Mr. Arthur Newbery. Our citizens could not do a more-graceful act than recognize’ his services by presenting him with (say) a handsome gold watch suitably inseribed. There would be no trouble in working the matter up if. the proper persons took it in hand. Who will be the first to move?

+ &

In this connection | may be pardoned for referring to the Park Roadway; and for asking what bas become of that celebrated undertaking / Has the scheme collapsed? Have its pronwters left the Island ? Why is the press so silent on the subject’? Some one should surely be moving in the matter. The Government have granted the neces- sary land, and that soulless body, the Cit Corporation, if there will be anything left of them after the. lawyers eget through, should. do something. The roadway is needed, if for no other purpose than to pre- serve the land. Ifsomething is not done soon, it will be everlastingly too late.

We are just now suffering from an epidemic of auction sales. Household furniture is the principal article in the market. The ladies are the chief purchas- ers. The sales, asa general thing, take place at the residence of the people who own the stuff.. And stuff, in the fullest sense of the term, most of it may with per- fect safety, be called. For several days before the sale there is great excitement among the women folk of the establishment. Old are polished up, old tins are re- bottomed, old spoons are sent to the silvere smiths and afterwards designated ‘ solid silver,” the hole in the carpet is carefully hidden, and many other things are done which are known to few outside the charm- ed circle. When auction day with its attendant excttement, arrives, these articles are put up and rattled off to the highest bidder by some elastie-conscienced auction- eer, who takes his per centage and asks no questions. How true it is that it takes lats of queer people to make a world,

+ * *«

stoves

At auction sales many _, questidnable things are done. There is, for instance, the friend of the party selling out, who réas up the article on sale without having the slightest. idea of purchasing. When a starter is wanted for some, at first, not very taking article, he it is who does it ata figure almost the full value. Then some lady present goes five or ‘ten better, some other person takes a hand, and finally the article is ‘‘knocked down” to Mrs. So-and- So, at a price somewhat higher than was paid for it when new. Occasionally the ‘‘stool,” as such a person is: designated abroad, gets stuck, if 1 may be allowed to use the expression; but it’s all right, you know. The owner and he understand one another. It doesn’t cost him a cent. Even his reputation doesn’t suffer... ‘fruly, we are a progressive people, liviig in a pro- gressive age, but. most of us act as if we never thought of the hereatter.

‘ TUESDAY, Fishery Notes.

In Gloucester, Mass., last week, mackerel were selling as high as $27 a barrel. One seiner is reported as having stocked over $5,000. Her fare was taken along the U.S. coast,

Capt. Quigley, of the cruiser Houlett, besides looking sharply after American poachers, has been paying special attention to the mackerel fishing question, and the manner in which the business is being carried on, He is strongly of the opinion that unless sdémething bs done to” stop wholesale seining along our coasts, our fish- ing industry will be totally destroyed in a very short time. He 1s also of opinion that the manner in which the lobster busi- ness is conducted, is destroying the salmon and bass fisheries.

If some of the seiners in the Bay had not been in such a hurry to abandon the old hook and line plan of taking mackerel they would have secured better fares, and the fisheries would have been less injured. Beining isa very quick way of catching mackerel, that is if the seiner is only lucky enough to make a ** haul,” but itis a very uncertain way, and worse than all, it de- stroys sometimes more fish than jt captures,, as herring and all other kinds of fish of less

‘value than mackerel taken in the seine, are

thrown into the sea. Something should be done to prevent the wholesale destruction of fish by seiners.

Mackerel are reported as still plentiful along the Iand coast, They are mostly all within the three mile limit. A very

large number of the American fleet have already gone home, the most of them with- out half a fare and many without any, the probability is that Island vessels and shore boats will. do well yet this fall. Even within the last day or two good catches have been made, and with mackerel selling here at $11.50 a barrel, our fishermen are in good cheer.

The schooner J. J. Merritt, jun., of Gloucester, on her fare of mackerel caught at Block Island, stocked $5,694, which makes high line this season.

The Grand Banks have lately been visit- ed. by another gale, which came from the E. N. #., doing, it is feared, damage to shipping.

The Gloucester Bankers have done well this season, many of them returning home with full fares, with no loss of life to record —so far.
