Che Dailp Examiner SEPTEMBER 15, 1885.

The Fishery Refund.

Tuts business has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion ; and the Domin- ion Government, certainly, deserve great credit for it. They might have avoided it altogether, and allowed the merchants and fishermen concerned to lose large amounts of money; for they were not bound to take it up. But they generously decided to recompense the British subjects who had just claims on account of losses sustained by the failure of the United States Gov- ernment to fulfil their agreement with the Government of thig Province; aud, having done so, they proceeded prudently and justly. Mr. R. R. Fitz- gerald was appointed their Commission- er, and every claim was carefully inves- tigated. The claimants of 1871 and 1872 alike were recognized, and, if not all fully satisfied, had at least no cause to complain that they were unfairly treated. ‘Tory and Grit, merchaut and fisherman, all were treated alike, and all have received cheques for the amounts adjudged as their due.

——

The New Post Office, Summerside.

Tue new Post Offica, Summerside, is situated on the corner of Fitzroy and Summer Streets, in the centre of the enter- prising town. The construction was com- menced in June, 1884, and it is now about to be taken off the hands of the contractor, Pierce Doyle, Esq. It is built of Wallace freestone, and pressed brick, imported from St. John, N. B. The building has a most elaborate appearance. The style of archi- ture is as the Modern,but some pro- teat it i ntine.

The building is not yet fitted, and it will therefore, not be occupied by fhe Post Othce or Customs officials before April next. When fitted according to the plans we have been shown, it will be a comfort to the officers as well as a convenience to the publie.

In dimensions, the Post Office is ninety- nine feet six inches by thirty-seven feet, three stories high with a steep slated pitch roof, having massive dormers front and rear. On the south side, adjoining is a warehouse of brick thirty-nine by twenty- three feet, one story high with pitch slated root.

The main building can be entered by two spacious doors fronting on Summer Street. These doora are connected with the main corridor of the Post Office, so that in a rush,visitors can obtain ingress through one and egress through the other, without con- flicting. To the left, on entering the northern door, will be situated the Money Order office. This office wiJl be connected with the main Post Office vault and Post- masters oflica by a convenient hallway. Running south, dividing the lobby from the interior of the Post Office, will be a wall of lock boxes. In the centre of this will be the general delivery, in semi- circular form, protruding into the lobby. To the right of the delivery will be the newspaper drop, and to the left the letter drop. The Post Office, which is a well lighted apartment, forty-five by thirty-four feet, will be fitted by Mr. Theo. J. Clarke with convenient assorting tables, distribut- ing frames, bag racks, sorting frames, etc, it will be quite large enough to suit the requirements of the town of Summerside

The second story is reached by a large and easy stairway, which rises close to the north entrance. Two of the largest rooms will be used by the Customs Department for offices. One of these is twenty by twenty-five feet, and the other twenty by thirteen feet. There are also on this flat three good offices, in size twelve by thirteen feet. They will be weil fitted for whatever purpose they are intended.

The upper flat will be used for the Keeper. It contaios a kitchen, sitting rooms, bedrooms, store room, . water tank, etc. ’

In the warehouse adjoining the main building is a room eighteen by twenty feet, with two offices attached, ten by twelve feet each. They will be used by the Cus- toms Department for appraising purposes. In the basement of the warehouse, and in the basement part of the main building, is a large coal cellar, a boiler and engine room, Bi The building will be heated by

ateam.

The building was constructed under the direciton of Messrs. Sterling & Harris, architects, Charlottetown, and under the inspection of Richard Hunt, Esq.

Had Summer Street an opening on Water Street, the Post Officeand Custom House would be more easily reached than at present. But this ineonvenience can be remedied at small cost. Let the town pur- chase the buildings which obstruct the junction of Water and Summer streets. It will enhance the value of property on this street, and therefore property owners on it will be benefited, and the merchants on Water Street will be convenienced. It will require little exertion on the part of the citizens of Summerside to have this im- provement made.

The New Market House, Sum- merside.

Tue new Market House, Summerside, which is situated on Central Street, is rapidly approaching completion. Mr. Theo. J. Clarke, the contractor, informs us it will be ready for ageupation on the Ist October mext. When completed it will be a great benefit to country people who live within easy distance of Summerside, as well as an attraction of the town, and a conve- nience for town folks.

The Market building has been wisely divided into a Town Court, Public Hall, Engine Room, etc., and its situation on Central Street makes it most suitable for the purposes of town and country.

In dimensions the building is 125x40 feet, 20 foot post, and 31 feet rafter. The main entrance tothe market room, which ison the ground floor, is from Central Street. In size this room is eighty feet long by forty broad. On the same floor, separated from the Market room, are the City Court room, Fire Engine room (capable of accom-

modating two engines), and the Polic am, / e rs spacious Rpatznen ts,

he second story of the building is set

apart for a public iiall, This hall has a well arranged stage seventy by forty feet. It is capable of accommodating a first-class company, having dressing and reception rooms for the convenience of performers. The body of the hall is one hundred and four feet long and forty feet broad. It has entrance by two easy stairways ten feet wide at the south side,and when fitted will be the finest hall in the Province. +

Its cost to the town of Summerside is, we learn, three thousand dollars, payable to the contractor in three equal annual in- stalments.

Only one improvement can be suggested in connection with the new Market and its situation: Extend Fitzroy street to the Charlottetown Road. Country people will then be enabled to reach the market place without passing the dangerous rai! way crossing at the end of Water street, and many accidents will thereby be averted.

Business in Sumnerside.

SUMMERSIDE appears to have recovered from the effects of hard times. Its mer- chants are all in first-class positions, most of them buying their large stocks for cash. The Hotels are well filled. The Inter- national, which has been closed for a num- ber of years, is now open, newly furnished and well patronized by the travelling pub- lic without apparently interfering with the Clifton or Campbell’s Hotel, so long estab- lished.

White oats are coming into market in large quantities and are being bagged and prepared for the West India market. Mr. Holman, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Wrighi are the principal shippers.

Coles’ Wharf has been rebuilt this sum- mer. A ferry steamerruns from Summer- side three times a day to this wharf,®om- monly called Bedeque, or Hurds’ Point Wharf. A suitable slip has been put in at Bedeque for the accommodation of the ferry sieamer, and one is about being built at Queen’s Wharf, Summerside. The Dominion Dredge Boat commenced dredg- ing the channel from Summerside to this wharf last summer, and finished in August last. The Bedeque people have now one of the finest wharves on the Island, and a gcod deep water channel leading to it.

The oyster season begins to-day, (the 15'h inst.) and western shippers are preparing for the fall shipments.

We are informed that Island Park Hotel will be re-opened next season. The parties who own it are now about repairing the wharf at Holman’s Islandand making other necessary preparations for the reopening.

Summerside Driving Park.

THe races at Summerside yesterday at- tracted a large number of spectators, and passed off quite orderly. Oaly two races filled—the three-minute and four-year-old classes. Both races were well contested, and the time made, considering the state of the track, was fair. The four-year-old race was won by Mr. James Sharp's colt Black Bill, in three straight heets, with Mr. J. Duranv’s young stailion, Kimble Morgan, was a good second. The heats were balf mile, best three in five, and were each trotted in 1.30 by Black Bill.

The three minute race had five contest- ants, and had it not been for an accident to Flora E., Mr. J. D. Eoman’s mare, and a mistake on the part of the driver of Harry Mossenger, the race would have been most interesting. Flora E. had one of her hind feet cut during the firse heat, and Messen- ger did not take the word ‘‘go” on the third heat. Hernando, who had little training, came to the front, and proved himself to be a worthy son of Almont. He trotted his winning heats in splendid form. Following is the summary :—

The stallion race did not fill. Mr. Fitz- simmons was on the ground with Island Chief and Dean Swift. Both horses ex- hibited wonderful speed. They would, no doubt, have given a good account of them- selves had they entered the New England and Provincial circuit this season. Mr. Mor- rison'’s stallion French Sporter, and Mr. MecLeod’s stallion Sir Wiiliam Wallace were alsoshown. Their fine form won the admiration of spectators and they showed good speed.

Altogether, the fall meeting of Summer- side Driving Park was fairly successful, and its good management reflects credit on Mr, Muttart.

City Council.

A REGULAR MEETING of the City Council was held last evening. Mayor Beer and all the Councillors were present. Councillor Morris, according to previous notice given, moved the following resolu- tion :—

Resolved, That the resolution of the 24th August last, authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with the Charlottetown Water- works Company, be now reconsidered.

There appeared for the motion Councillors Morris, Donse, Horne, McRae and Curtis —5; and against it Councillora Crabbe Kelly, McLean, Davy and Haszard—-5.

The Mayor gave his casting vote against the resolution. ,

The minutes of the previous meeting were then confirmed. 7

Councillor Morris moved and Councillor Douse seconded the following resolution :

Whereas, Ata meeting of the City Council held on the 24th of August, a resolution was passed eipowering the Mayor to enter into a contract with a company to furnish a certain number of hydrants to supply water for fire purposes ;

And Whereas, it ig the opinion of this Council that the Mayor should not have the power to enter into any contract without sub- mitting said contract to the City Council for their approval ; he it

Therefore Resolved, that the Mayor do not sign any contract with any company for sup-

Councillor Morris then moved that the Council adjourn. The motion was carried 01a division of 4 to 6.

The Subway Scheme.

(Montreal Herald.)

Two great works are now prejected in the Dominion, both of which a few years ago would be scouted as impossibilities. One of these isaship railway acioss the Isthmus of Chignecto, and the other is ap artificial way under water across the Straits of Norihumberiand. ' . . Senator Howlan’s scheme scems the more wonderful of the two. How does he pro- pose to run his railway on the bottom of the sea? How is he to take his passengers and goods th ough the fl od without their being injured by the water. The Senator explained the seeming miracle in these columns last winter. He is going to sink to the bottom of the strait, piece by piece, what we will compare to an immense stove-pipe. The pieces are to be joined in the first place precisely as the joints of a stovepipe are. This pipe is to be lined with brick strengly cemented together, and made perfectly watertight. ails are to be laid in it, and it is tobe connected with the railroad on each side of the strait. Through this sub- marine way communication is to bo kept up between the Island and the continent, win- ter and summer. This project, too, is assuming practical shape. Scientific men are now on the spot, and they declare the scheme to be perfectly feasible. So in this Dominion, before very long, we may expect to see ships sailing on dry land and railway trains running under water.

A Monte Carlo Victim.

Monte Carlo is the social pest-house of Europe, but notwithstanding that every one professes a desire to see the gaming tables abolished, they still exist and presper. The Russians are inveterate gamesters, and the latest victim is Prince Nichol Alexander Gagarine, of St. Petersburg, who recently attempted to commit suicide at a small inn at Nice. He belongs to one of the most distinguished families in Russia, and pos- sessed a fortune of three million francs, but lost all in gambling, After his run of ill-luack he asked tho managers of the tables at Menace to advance him his travelling expenses to St. Petersburg, but being refused he shot himself in the head, inflicting a dangerous and probably fatal wound. He was taken to the hospital, where he now lies in a most precarious con- dition. Prince Gagariue, who is sixty- seven years of age, is a descendant of the famous Matthew Gagarine, once (Governor of Siberia. who, in consequence of a con- spiracy,*was executed in the presence of his whole family. The Ptince is a man of great ability, but he has allowed his passion for play to dwarf every worthy ambition.
