LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

P. E. Island Raltiway Reform.

Sir,—This (open) letter is intended to reach those who are responsible to the pubiic for the P. E. Island Railway man- agement.

lic. The latter come tu theie green Isle of beauty in the summer, and are delighted to their hearts’ fill with all that nature has so | javishly done for this gem of the sea. But : how is this feeling seconded by the tourist | when he is brought (unpleasantly brought !) iface to face with what man, as an ofilcial, i} has done for his comfort in travel? It so ‘happens, unfortunately, that the sweetest |spots of nature on the Island are not to be got at readily without the auxiliary of the P. E. I. Railway.

Malodorous railway reminiscences ! how |pungently the writer recalls them! and | how justly malevolent the feeling against ithe management which year after year jallows the P. E. Island Railway to be a |disgrace to the age in its equipment and | surroundings.

| There are delegations to Ottawa by the |dezen this session from Nova Scotia and | New Brunswick, to get aid for net-working ithese Provinces with new lines. P. E. Island wants and asks for no such net- working; but, ail the same, she will have to | pay for her sister Provinces’ improvements, i Surely, then, she might, in all fairness, in- sist ou having her one railway run on modern principles.

Does it ever occur to the ruling powers of the road, how, to a traveller, coming from ; the American, C. P. R., or 1. C. R. roads, | the contrast between them and the P. E. I. Riilway equipments is shaiaefully to the ! discredit of the latter ?

Does it ever occur tothe ruling powers: how—to the thousands who annually leave! the Island to better their condition in life— the contrast in the ** provision for nature's necessities” between the road they have left at home and the foreign one they may be | traveling over is so marked as to bea sort lof revelation to them? Surely, in this par- ‘ticular matter, it must seem to the depart- ing they are leaving behind barbarism.

The writer, emphasizing this last sen- tence, does not call to mind that there is a single decent (if any at all) water closet or urinal at any station on the P. E. Island ; road between Tignish and Souris, not even jat Charlottetown Station itself.

If the Islanders want to see summer travel increase, they must wake up and agitate for better conditions in the public service of their road; every Dominion

session sees the Hast called upon for more unequal tribute to the West; and it is about time a_ stand

was made. Not to generalize, however, but keeping to the point at issue, let the railway system of the Island be the stand made for improvement in just now? Better cars should be run on the road ; not only decency but comfort should be obtainable in travel for one’s money. Itis monstrous that P. E. Islanders should remain content with ‘fas it was in the beginning, 80 it shall be,”, ete. Go where one may— every where—even in China itself—improve- ment is the order of the day. And, oh ! that the weary hours spent in the miserable accommodation service up west to Tignish might become a memory only, and not a triai to be gone through again! Time is more than money on a long journey. The spinal column would | rejoice in a thirty-mile-an-hour run over; the level Island floor, and the choleric} orgaus would forget their function at such’ an accomplishment. Wake up, wake up, Islanders !—it’s nearly-the twentieth cen-, tury of Anno Domini.

A Summer VISITOR.

Srr,—I was sorry to see the very proper discussion opened’ by ‘* Western Pub- lic’ diverted from its natural and legitimate course by a supersensitiveness on the part of the Superintentdent of that railway. Up West here we have long groened under the disabili- ties so well complained of by your corres- ;pondent. We know, too, that the fault is lnot all Mr. Unsworth’s. The man we blame for the most of it is Mr. Schreiber, who, while he takes good care that his own salary suffers no decrease, is starving our employes and crippling the service. If Mr. Unsworth were alive to bis position, he should have taken ‘* Western Public’s” splendid letter—z letter that every man from Summerside tu Tignish thoroughly. endorses—and forward it tv Ottawa with the necessary comments. In that case we'd hold them responsible, while, by his late action, the Superintendent shoulders the responsibility. No later than Tuesday did I see second class passengers get on at O'Leary, and, as there was no place for them in the second class cir, they were igiven seats in the well-filled first-class ‘coach. And I went forward to look for | Mr. Uneworth’s smoker, only to find, in the face of the public statment that he has late- ‘ly made, that on the steamboat express of | Tuesday last there was no smoker. Now ‘Tam ashamed of such flagrant dishonesty iin a high efiicial, and would advise Mr. ' Unsworth to drive cut of his hea? at once

An ADMIRER OF “‘WeEsTERN PvuBLic.’

Tignish, May 10, 1890.

’

Sirn,—Mr. Unsworth’s last is certainly worthy of a Superintendent of a railway, even as important as ourown? He wants the nuinber of the train now whereon such a curious grouping as ‘* Western Public” described can be found. Does Mr. Uns- worth understand plain English! The number was very plainly stated. Lest, however, a hole wouldgbe found to crawl out by, I will repeat, No. 3 train West, under Summer Time Table. Not even the shabby equally disgraceful partitioned car he seems to think good eneugh for us is to be found there. And I understand that under the same arrangement the same disgraceful state of affsirs obtains East.

Mr. Unsworth now wants conductors names and certain other interesting names. All putStogether, his conductors are not so numerous that he could not devote a few moments to regular consultation with them any fine morning and thereby acquire the required information and a few more point- ers than I have been able to vouchsafe. As to other names, I thought he had them as pat as his prayers when he inspired that really clever fellow ‘‘ All-Burton.” Mr. Unsworth evidently wants to be let down easily, and I have no desire to keep him longer on the gridiron.

WESTERN PvuBLIC,

The Chenango Poor House Fire.

THE INSANE INMATES ROASTED LIKE BEASTS.

A late despatch from Norwich, N. Y., says :—The excitement here over the de- struction of the poor house and county in- sane asylum is intense. All who had friends among the unfortunates have eagerly sought information of their fate. A procession of all sorts of vehicles has been going to Pres- ton allday. The smoke stench from the holocaust are perceptible here. At the scene of the disaster it was sickening. The idiots were locked in and roasted like beasts. Their unearthly screams first aroused a pauper, Edward Francis, who slept near them. Francis says be arose and called keeper Mainwaring, who came down stairs from his room ina hurry. On open- ing the door leading from the hall to the inside department, he saw the interior was one mass of flames and the smoke over- powering. He attempted to rescue the in- mates, who were shut in their cells, but was driven back by heat and smoke. He then ran out and gave the alarm, returned tuo his room and dressed himself, and then ran

through the ccrridors and aroused the paupers. In some instances the people

were dazed, and it was necessary to carry them bodily down from the howse. Main- waring says that when he took possession as keeper he threw out all the old stovepipe and replaced it with new, besides putting heavy sheet iron screens around every stove, and he did everything tu prevent a conflagration. Keeper Hall, of the insane department, says some. of the lunatics were ugly and refused to be rescued unt:] main force was used. All the corpses were burned beyond recognition. In some in- stances cnly a portion of the body is left.

A FATHER SACRIFICES HIS CHILD TO SAVE HIs OWN LIFE.

| | A Sault St. Maria, Ont., despatch says :

Rev. P. T. Rowe, of the Michigan Sault, was called on Saturday last to perform the ceremony of funeral rites to the vemains of a little eight-year-old boy, named Parker, whose life was taken a sacrifice to save the life of his father. On Thursday, Parker and two of his children were walking along the banks of the Little Carp River, Harold some 15 years on one side of the river, and himself and the youngest child on the other. The river is about thirty feet wide, and was covered with rotten ice, and the child was permitted to make an attempt at cross- ing upon its surface to his brothers’s side of the stream. The child was sovn struggling in the ice cold flood, and his father sprang to rescue him. But the child and the heavy ice robbed him of his strength and when the drowning chiid clutched and embraced the body of his father Parker found that one or both mast drown, and asking the child to loosen his grasp, the father pushed away the struggling boy and saved his own life.
