Meeting at Peake’s Station.

A l.rge and influential meeting place at sideration the best means to press our clauns on the Dominion Government for

Many leading men from different parts of the county, as well as several prominent persons from Queen’s, were present and ex- pressed their views on the matter.

Mr. P. Mooney was appointed to the chair and after assuming his duties an- nounced the object of the meeting, stating that it was not called for any political pur- pose, but. merely to inform the railway

who, on coming forward, said it

ing of this kind. Although he had to con

making his way here to-night, thought he had done nothing more than was his duty todo. Whenever the of any part of his constituency was at stake, he took a delight in being present to assist and promote the interests of it. He wen- dered greatly why the railway authorities did not place Peake’s on the list of booking stations. A and a place which has grown su rapidly as Peake’s did these last few years, was surely entitled to better railway accommodation. He urged the inhabitants of Peake’s Station and neighboring districts to draw up a me- morial, placing therem the grievances under which they labor, and have it largely signed and sent to Sir John A. Macdonald, the new Minister of Railways. Sir John, he thought, was more of a generous char- acter than his predecessor and would, no doubt, readily accede to their demands. If no attention would be paid to the petition, he would enquire the reason when in Ottawa the next month.

Rev. M. J. McMillan being present and called upon, told of the many inconveni- ences he himse!f experienced by not having a booking station at Peake’s. He had often to prepay freight on goods,

welfare

place so favorably situated,

held at Mount Stewart. Often he was put to a great deal «f trouble to find out where his goods would arrive. Both of these stations, Cardigan and Mount Stewart, largely received credit for work which eught.to be done at Peake’s. It was not around home he heard the wants of the people of Peake’s Station discussed. He heard it freely talked of in nearly every settlement east of Charlottetown. Mr. Mooney, the occupant of the station at ipresent, he said, often discharged the duties of an agent, fearing goods might go astray or be lost, without even receiving | the least remuneration. This state of af- | fairs, he thought, should not be allowed to ,exist in a village like Peake’s, which had isprung into importance so rapidly. He | considered, and felt sure, that there was more business done at Peake’s Station than ata great many places where there are booking stations. He closed his remarks by asking the people to push forward their claims in a clear, fearless and determined manner, and not to give up the agitation for the much-needed want until they ob- tained it.

Mr. Underhay, M. P. P., then took the floor, and fully expressed his opinions on the subject very much to the satisfaction of the audience. He said he had been speak. ing toMr. Unsworth, the Superintendent of the Island Railway, who told him when |he would learn the amount of business ' done, he would use his influence to gratify , the wishes of the people. Mr. Underhay, \like Dr. Robertson and Rev. M. J. Mc- Millan, invited the people fully to lay their iclaims before the proper authorities, and ‘he would do ali he could in favor of the / movement. | Messrs. P.;Koughan, J. Fraser, H. Cur- rie and H. R. Mooney spoke at consider- , able length on the subject, and with a great ideal of enthusiasm endorsed the state- ments that had been made by the preceading geutlemen.

A letter was received from Dr, P. A. Me- |Intyre, regretting his inability to attend lowing to a pressing professional engage- iment. He said he would do all in his | power to further the object of the meeting. | The following resolutions were introduced | by Mr. H. Currie and seconded by Mr. P. | Keoughan, and unanimously adopted : Whereas, The object of this meeting is to | give an unanimous expression of opinion con- {sequent upon the inconvenience heretofore | existing in not having a Booking Station at

this place. Whereas, In the winter of 1884 the people | of this place asked for the erection of a Book- ing Station, thinking at the time that when ‘it would be built there would be an Agent _placed therein In the following summer the , building was erected, but up co the present | time the railway authorities neglected to ap- ‘point an Agent, thus failing to carry out the ex} . tations of the people ; and

Whereas, Business men and others in the village and surrounding country suffer great inconvenience in having to prepay all freights that are marked for this place, otherwise goods will be held at Charlottetown or fer- warded to Cardigan Station, thereby necessi- tating the owners to pay the freight to Cardi- gan and back, a distance of 22 miles; and that the present occupant of the Station is not responsible for the receiving and delivering of freights, his duty being merely to open and close the doors on arrival and departure of trains.

Therefore Resolved, That it is the earnest desire of this meeting to stronly disapprove of the neglected manner in which the people of Peake’s Station and vicinity have veen treat- ed by the railway authorities in not gving to this place a proper railway and telegraph station.

Further Resolved, That a copy of these re- solutions be forwarded to the Minister of Railways, requesting him to give, at the earliest practicable period, due consideration to the matter; and that a report of the pro- ceedings of this meeting be sent to Tux Ex- aminer, Herald and Patriot for publication.

D. Macdonald, Esq., occupied tne chair, | being a direct descendant of the great | Olan-Ronald, and a true son of the Heather. | He, as a matter of course, gave Mr. | Mellish a Highland welcome. The learned lecturer described the picturesque scenery of Scotland, palaces, castles, churches and institutes of learning, the most noticeable being Holyrood, where the historic Mary Queen of Scots resided, not forgetting, however, to mention Wallaces’ Cave, Bruce’s helmet, Scotland’s crown, and the stone on which the kings crowned. | Concluding his remarks he paid a glowing | tribute to thememory of Scotlandina strain of language but which had to be heard to be appreciated. Mr. Mellish was tendered the 1earty thanks of the meeting for his master- ly effort to which he replied in terms.
