Signal Station.

THE extension of the telephone to Souris, and its very successful operation, has sug- gested the idea of a further extension to East Point and the establishment there of a signal station. There are already at this point a fog whistle and revolving light. These are of great advantage to fishermen and the fishing trade of the country. It requires the constant attention of a man who might also attend to the transmission of information respecting vessels passing up and down the Gulf. [t is well known that |Hast Point is in close proximity to the ‘*bend”’ of the Island, the most valuable fishing grounds in North America. During the fishing season hundreds of fishing ves- sels pass so close to the Point that signall- ing is quite practicable. Trading vessels and steamers also hug the point as closely as possible in passing. Ifa signal station

j

were established there, as proposed, information of great importance to the commercial and _ fishing interests of the country would be transmitted

by means of telephone without loss of time. We hear that some prising people of the vicinity have offered to furnish the posts that would be required foratelephone service, free of charge, wire

of the enter-

providing the company furnish the and instruments. In view of all circumstances, the suggestion that a signal station be established at East Point seems to be well worthy the favorable considera- tion of the Minister of Marine.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Saivation Army.

Sir, —| have twice refrained from making acomplaint in the press against the dis- orderly proceedings of Salvationists (so- called) on Queen Squate, because I was in hopes that the authorities would check them; but it seems that His Honor the

vation of souls that he is willing to en- danger the lives of citizens by allowing this howling nuisance to continue.

Some months ago, while passing up Queen Street with a funeral, as undertaker, these ‘people created such an uproar that it was with the greatest difficulty I succeeded in controlling my horses. Some time after- wards I had occasion to pass the same place, as undertaker, and met with the same difli- culty. Last Sunday evening, while passing Queen Square in charge of the remains of the late D. McMillan, the same commotion prevailed, and again I barely succeeded in preventing a runaway.

The experience of this city in paying damages should, I think, open the eyes of the authorities to a sense of the danger they are incurring by allowing this state of things to continue, Assuredly, if these demonstrations are not discontinued, there will be anviher large bill to pay out of the public chest sume fine morning.

These good people create more disturb- ance and cause more anxiety than all the roughs in the city, and it woald be a nice | question to decide which of the two classes indulge most in blasphemy ; but instead of punishing the ‘‘ warriors,” they are encour- aged with legal protection while continually endangering the lives of citizens.

il Treatment of School Children.

Sir,—Your correspondent ‘* Junius,” from King’s County, deserves the thanks of the public for calling their atiention to the disgraceful and cruel treatment of school children by some of the teachers in our public schools. We have a Superinten- dent of Education, who, if 1 mistake not, will investigate such charges and deal with these inhuman brutes as they deserve. Beating children on the head, and violent- ly pulling their ears, is an offence which should be dealt with in our civil courts, and, if an example were made of these so called teachers, and they had to suffer for such conduct, we would, perhaps, have less reason to complain in the future.

We understand that some of our teacliers, as a punishment, confine the children to the school-room during recess, thus depriv- ing a child of a little fresh air and exercise, after sitting for hours in an_ ill-ventilated school. I think parents should be asked to interfere in such cases, and thus protect the health of their little children, whieh may be impaired seriously in this way.

I trust Mr. Montgomery’s attention will be called to this matter, and that he will protect the helpless children in our schools from violent treatment, the outcome of passion and ignorance on the part of teach- ers.

TRUSTEE.

New Post Orrices.—We are pleased to learn that a post office is soon to be opened at New Acadia, (Burke’s Road), and that Mr Jerome Pino is to be the Postmaster. Our old friends who have removed from Rustico are to be congratulated on the progress they are making. Not long since they built a schoolhouse, and furnished it with a compet- enti teacher, and the post office they are about to sbtain will be a valuable acquisition, A new post office was opened on the first of this month at Gay Fortune Bridge. The Post- master is Mr. John Francis. The post office

at the head of Rullo Bay has been closed for | the present.

Tandem Club Drive. BALL AT THE WINDSOR. OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Montreal, Feb. 9.

On Friday the principal event was the citizens’ drive, headed by the Tandem Club. This was, perhaps, one of the great- est sights of the whole Carnival. First came the four in hands, dancing along with merry jingle of bells and gleaming of silver and gold-mounted harness, drawing hand- somely polished, elegantly built and luxur- iously «furnished sleighs that were filled with fair ladies and brave men, who were dressed in the richest furs. It was a grand sight. Next came the unicorns or two horses with a leader ahead of them. Then the tandem teams fell into line, followed by pairs and singles. The streets were lined from end to end with an immense crowd of sightseers who cheered the Governor- General heartily as he passed along in his handsome turn out, near the head of the drive.

On Friday night the great event was the ball at the Windsor. Over 700 tickets were sold for it, and even the very large rooms at the Windsor were taxed to their utmost. The Windsor Hotel is one of the finest in Canada, and the dining room, where the ball was held, is the handsomest 1 have sectiiey’ Beautifully decorated with flags, banners and plants, brilliantly lighted by eléctricity, and filled by a company com- prising the elite of Canadian, and a great many prominent members of American society, the Carnival Ball Room presented acharming appearance. The ladies dresses were marvels of art, many of them being most aesthetic in their design. Long clinging draperies with wide flowing sleeves, were worn by some ladies, who gave the idea that the Greek goddesses had again revisited the world. Many handsome dresses of the richest materials were worn by the grand dames of Montreal, and the display of tlashing jewels, especially diamonds, could hardly be equalled by our American cousins. Lady Stanley wore, a sage green velvet and pink brocade, with diamonds; Lady Alice Stanley, black tulle, with moire dash, ornaments of diamonds. Hon. Mrs. Col- ville, white tulle, brocaded body aud sash, with diamond ornaments. Mrs. Joseph Hikson, white tulle dress, with train of pale blue brocade, ornaments of diamonds and pearls, with natural flowers. Mrs. R. N. Walier, New York City, pale lavender silk, with point lace over-skirt, looped at the side, with a cluster of pearls, pin dia- mond crescent in the hair, dressed very high, dress cut with low corsage and en train. Miss Kitty Dunne, Brooklyn, N. Y., a Worth dress of white tulle over white surah, with sprays of ** lilies of the vailey ” catching the drapery here and there about the skirt, natural *‘Jilies of the valley,” high corsage, with buuch of ‘lilies of the valley’ in bosom, white suede kid gloves to the elbow, white slippers, ornaments diamonds. Miss Wycherly, New Orleans, amber satin court train trimmed with Venetian point lace, ornaments, emeralds with diamonds, with a diadem to match.

Space will not permit a more extended description, but suflicient has been given to indicate the magnificence of the dresses worn. The sameness of the gentlemen’s regulation black dress suit, was relieved by the brilliant uniforms of the officeos of the Governor-General’s staff, and of the several volunteer corps, who were present in foree. Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Newbery, of Char- lottetown, were present, but I did not notice any other Islanders. For those who did not attend the ball on Friday night, various amusements were open. ‘The Academy of Music was well patronized, and the Theatre Roya! had a star company who were playing the ‘Cattle King.” The Rinks were all in full blast. The slides were illuminated and constantly kept agoing, and the crowds on St. Catharine Street were instructed and amused by a stereoptican exhibition that was shown on a large white sheet suspended above one of the buildings.

The tandem club were again out on Saturday afternoon, and, if anything, were more brilliant looking than on Friday. At night the Ice Palace was illuminated, and an immense crowd gathered to see the fire- works that were advertised. They did not, however, come off, excepting one or two rockets that were discharged before eight o'clock. The committee in charge of the Carnival had hard work. The weather in the first part of the week was against them, and that made it more difficult to keep up the enthusiasm among che various clubs. I would suggest that if they ever have an- other Carnival, the committee rooms at Mechanic’s Hall should be better attended to than they were this year. A small boy with a large amount of cheek is not a proper person to receive visitors.

While thousands in Montreal were enjoy- ing the Carnival and its festivities, on Fri- day night, a most bloody and cruel murder was committed at 73 Jurors St. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Luther McGrath were lodging with a Mrs. Ennis, at the above address. A mannamed William Holden had rooms in the same house, and he, in company with ason of Mrs. Ennis’, had induced ayoung womantogo tohis rooms on nore than one occasion, wheretheyspentthe time in drinking. Mrs. McGrath, who is a slightly colored lady, and very well edu- cated, remonstrated with Mrs. Ennis about Hoiden bringing in this strange woman. © Friday night, Holden and this girl, Jane Robert, were drinking ip his rvom, and Mrs. McGrath, having remonstrated with Holdean—who told her to mind her own business—went out into the street aud

calted the potics. The police went to Hoi-

VOL. 24.-NO. 72, den’s door and asked for admittance, but« were refused. Young Ennis wanted the police to break in the door, for he was not with Holden that night, but they went back and reported to their Sergeant before doing so. The girl Robert left Holden’s room as soon as the way was clear, and went out cf the house. Holden then came out and stepped iato an adjoining room, and was lighting his pipe, when he heard Mrs. Mc- Grath a> ' Miss Murray commenting on his conduct .; shameful and uuchristian. This appears to have angered him, and he went to the door of the room occupied by the McGraths a used abusive language to Mrs. McGrat.:, (aunting her with her color and saying that she had no right to find fault with him for taking a girl into his room, a8 she herself lived with McGrath without being married. Luther McGrath, the husband, who was lying on a bed in the room, hearing his wife abused, jumped up and rushed to the door, demanding an apology. Holden at this time raised his hand as if to strike Mrs. McGrath. At that moment McGrath hauled out a razor from his pocket and with one slash cut Holden’s throat almost from ear to ear. Mrs. Holden, not knowing that her husband had a razor, and thinking the men were going to fight, rushed in between them, and in doing so received a deep gash that nearly severed two of her fingers. Me- Grath then bolted down stairs, and Holden, having staggered along the hall to Stone- ham’s room, with great spouts of blood from his ghastly wound, dyeing* the walls and floor and marking his steps, finally sunk down on the floor, and before medical aid was summoned, had expired... Mrs. McGrath, seeing the horrible tragedy that had taken place, went almost frantic. When the police came in they were met by Mrs. McGrath who was actually yelling ‘* Mur- der! Murder! On! Luther! Luther! Why did you do this? Why did you kill this man? I am _= curs- ed by your’ bloody hand ané@ hellish deed.” The police, finding out what was the true state of affairs, started after the murderer, but he was gone. The remains of Holden were carried tohis own room,and Mrs. McGrath, whose fingers were badly cut, wastaken to the General Hos- pital, and from thence to No. 5 Police Station. On Saturday morning, Helden’s remains were taken to the Morgue, and a Coroner's jury summoned by Coroner Jones. Ennis, Mrs. McGrath and Jane Roberts are held as witnesses. Monrreat, Feb. 11.

During the past ten years Montreal has made rapid progress. Ten years ago the greater part of the business was done below St. James Street. The wholesale houses were situated on McGill, St. Helen, Recol- let, St. Francis Xavier, St. John, St. Paul and Common Streets. Now they are rapidly moving up town. St. Catharine Street was formerly a row of private resi- dences, now itis one long line of retail shops. Away out to Cote St. Antoine, up © to the very base of the mountain and far east to Huchelaga, has the builder plied his trade. Fine stone or brick residences are seen on every side. Where it was open fields a few years ago, is now solid streets. And down in the city proper immense new buildings are being erected. Prominent amongst these is the magnificent new structure erected by the New York Life Insurance Company, of which Mr. David Burke, a P. E. Islander, is the manager. The new building on St. James Street, erected by the Standard Assurance Com- pany, is also an imposing specimen of ar- chitecture, and Messrs. J. C. Wilson & Co's. new building on Craig Street, eight stories high, is one of the loftiest in the city. On every side vast improvement can be seen. The small huckster shops of St. Joseph Street have given place to large business houses, finer and larger than the very best in Charlottetown. The factories of the boot and shve trade are now principally located to the east side of Victoria Square, and ready-made clothing and cloths are also well represented at that locality. Tne new depots of the Grand Trunk and Canada Pacific Railways are large, imposing commodious buildings, and the continual shriek of the railway whistle tells of the volume of business carried in and out of the city. Under Confederation and the National Policy our Island trade must come to this city. Here are located and centred the first manufacturing and business firms in the Dominion—and from them the greater part of our purchases come. What we want is faster steamers in summer that will place the Island within two days of Montreal. It can be done. A boat like the Stanley could traverse the distance in 40 hours, and if this were done, instead of having a few hundred visitors during the summer months, thousands would make P. E. Island the objective point of their holi- days. Now, by the Miramichi it takes four and sometimes five days to reach Charlottetown, and the expense is propor- tionately greater than it would be for a shorter passage. There will be lots of money in developing a line with fast boats. Freight will go that way. Passengers for Nova Scotia will also take this route, and, in fact, the same result will be obtained as has been secured by the Atlantic Steamship Company. Two steamships like the Hali- fax would take the greater part of the busi ness, besides encouraging travellers to go by the line that gave them quick travelling. I hope Tue Examines, always foremost in good works, will keep this before the peo- ple until succezs is secured. There are plenty of wealthy people here who would willingly spend their summers on the Island if easy aud fast conveyance were provided, and our farmers and traders and hotel heepers would all profit by a large in- flux of summer tourists, such as now go to Portland, Orchard Beach, Mount Desert, and other watering places on the American coast. Let us keep our own trade amongst ourselves. We buy our goods from Canada, and why should we not give the wealthy of Canada «2 opportunity to spend some of the fortunes they have made by the great development that has arisea since the
