To the liditor of the Evaminer.

Str,—The Contractors of the new Asylum Building are procuring cedar shingles, of this Island manufacture, which cost only $3.25 per thousand. When I tendered for the build- ing of it, I had a specification given me that specilied the shingles to be ‘‘ No. 1 St. John split pine shingles,” that would cost from $5.50 to $6.50 per thousand. I am desirous of know ing why the Nova Scotia Contractors are thus favored, while we Islanders were compelled to tender for the latter. Who has anthority to make these changes from the original intent, and why are such changes made.

T’o the Editor of the Examiner:

Str,—In this evening’s issue I observe a brief article over Mr. Richard Weeks’ signa- ture in answer to ‘*Q. R.S.,” and as he prom- ises not to appear again in print, | thought it would be well to give you and your readers a little more of the Market House difficulties. First, Mr. W. was for raising the bell tower, which contains Big Donald, five or six feet, and complete a celiar for butter and meat ven- dors, ‘‘that it might be cold in summer and warm in winter.’ A cellar that size wouid not hold a fortieth part of our market folks that now attend market. (Nor one-fifth of the market people before ‘“Mr. W.” or “Q. R. S.” were in existence.) But strange Mr. W. this evening intimates the raising of the entire Market House, and Big Donald’s compart- ments as well, Big Donald is now over sixty feet high, and to raise him six or eight feet more would be a very absurd undertaking. The Big Donald Tower is so intersected with the main building that it would be impossible to cerry out Mr. W.s’ first idea; and besides, to put the vendors of butter and meat into a cellar, when we have a suitable place, which is a credit to the city.

{ would like to have the idea of “Q. R.S.” carried out, in taking a small proportion of the toll that is collected from the ‘dear old ladies,” and purchase ice and distribute it in the several butter baskets. The process would not cost much, nor would it need to be con- tinued for more than eight or ten weeks during the hottest part of the summer. This trifling outlay would not affect the city funds; where- as the rising of Big Donald’s ‘‘hive” and its connections would cost the city four thousand four hundred and forty-four dollars and forty one cents to complete this useless undertaking.

Sir, I fear f have taken up more of your space than practicable; but before closing, I wish Mr. W. to state if he thinks ““Q. R. 3.” masculine or feminine, or something else,‘as he says ‘‘his, hers or its” own signature, will only draw him out more feasibly.

Thanking you for your findulgence, and hop- ing we shall not hear any more on this topic,

I remain, A Crry Tax Paver.

A Tribute to Sir John A. Mac- donald.

At the annual picnic connected with the Roman Catholic Church at Railton Town- ship of Loborough, County of Addington, of which the Rev. Father McWilliams is the esteemed and popular priest, held on Wednesday, a number of members of Par- liament were present. The feature of po- litical speaking being introduced, Father McWilliams paid the following tribute to the Right Hon. Sir John Macdonald :—

Father McWilliams, in opening the pro- ceedings, said that as priest of St. Patrick’s Church, Loborough, he congratulated the people on the success of their picnic. It was only a few days ago that he had called upon them to assist in getting up the picnic, and he was proud to recognize their faith- fulness before so large a multitude. It was not the first time they had done the same thing. He also wished to return to those who had come to attend the picnic the sin- cere thanks of himself and the people. He had taken for the motto of the picnic the words ‘* Union, Friendship and Loyalty.” (Hear, hear.) He trusted they would be as closely united in years to come as they were that day. (Applause.) May their friendship continue ever as warm as it was that day, and may their loyalty never be doubted. Should the day ever come when they had to do battle for their country,may they ever be as ready to prove their loyalty as they were to proclaim it. (Applause.) He expressed the pleasure it afiorded him to introduce the various gentlemen on the platform. They had pre- sent with them Canada’s most honored statesman, who had raised Canada from a small territory to a great Dominion, and who had united and cemented the different Provinces. ‘To him should praise be given for the accomplishment of this work. He was one whom the Queen had delighted to honor. He had received the highest hon- ors ever accorded toa Canadian. Another qualification was possessed by Sir John Me- Donald—he was the best abused man in the country. (Applause.) All men had their

‘enemies, but when he saw the low, paltry,

and, he might say, childish means employed to put Sir John down, he was reminded of his early days, when he, with his compan- ions, tried to level the mountains in Ver- mont State by throwing stones at them. As they grew older, they laughed at the idea of these weak endeavors; and so he believed it would be in Sir John McDonald’s case— it would be found that all attempts to lower him were vain, and in after years he would

Labor Troub!es Feared in Montreal. Montreat, June 19.—Unemployed labor- ers have held two large meetings to-day to discuss their grievances. After some in- flammatory speeches were delivered, reso- lutions were passed aflirming their right to meet and censuring the Corporation for not providing them with work. They also con- demned the system of giving out public con- tracts as inimical to workingmen, and called for the dismissal of the Government and corporation so that Labor candidates might be returned. The assembly dispersed peaceably, but considerable agitation exists, and from the temper exhibited, and the number out of work, there are some fears that we ave on the brink of an outbreak.

Log Rolling. The Summerside Progress says :—‘‘ No sooner had it become known to the Com- inissioner of Public Works that Mr. Thos. Beattie, who had charge of all repairing and other work to be done about the Court House here, was a Conservative, than he was dismissed, and Mr. Wm. P. Baker, a staunch Grit, appointed in his stead. Mr. Stewart justified the change on the ground that ‘‘ the Government wished to distribute the patronage equally among their numer- ous friends.” flere we see that the patron- age of the Local Government is used to further the success vi the Grit Party in this County. Itseems also that the Railway De- partinent have discovered that all the station houses along the line are badly in need of whitewashing. The job is given to Mr, Thomas Brehaut, who, though formerly a Grit, had recently expressed disappro- bation of the policy of that party. Mr. Brehaut is a good whitewasher and we pre- sume the job will be well done. It is won- derful how many jobs are required to be done just previous to an election,”

An Irate Lover in Patticoats.

A jealous lover donned petticoats in Painesville, Ohio, last Wednesday, in order to kill the girl he had left behind him. When an aged spinster, clad in a long, black dress, heavily veiled and gloved, alighted from the East-bound train and tot- tered into the omnibus, the loungers about the station saw little resemblance in the figure to the light-faced Johnny Blake, who had arrived on a visit to Mary Durban a year before. The disguised Blake was taken to the hotel, and went to the dining- room and took supper, registering as ‘* Mrs, Woodruff, St. Louis.” At noon on Frida a phieton was hired, and the old lady ho bled down stairs, and with the help of the driver got into the vehicle. About this time, Mary Durban, a compositor in a news- paper office, was going home to her dinner. The pheton stopped, ‘‘ Mrs. Woodruff’ sprang out, and the gentle Mary recognized her discarded lover, John Blake. She screamed. He embraced her, and brand- ished a razor. She screamed. He drew a revolver from his belt and threatened to shoot her. She screamed. Sheriff Morley appeared upon the scene and overtook the couple. he man in the petticoats then fired, the ball whizzing by Mary’s left ear. She screamed once and again. The Sheriff knocked down his man and led him off to jail. The blue-eyed maiden went home to dinner, returned in the afternoon to her case in the newspaper office, and set up, with her own fingers, the account of this diabolical attempt to assasinate her, smiling grimly at every adjective.

Forty-three Boston cock-fighters were arrigned last Tuesday and fined three dol- lars each. As most of them had given fie- titious names, and all were well-known per- sons, the scene was most amusing. A local paper says : ** The clerk then read the com. plaint, calling each of the parties by name, and when a familiar one was reached, and the victim answered and held up his hand, an exclamation of ‘Oh!’ was vented, and even the genial countenance of Judge Bur- bank overspread with smiles at the ludic- rousness of the situation, as one by one the high-toned sports, the politicians and the laborers filed through the dock and down stairs to the lock-up, from whence they were permitted to emerge singly, after the fine of three dollars without costs had been paid.”

,

A horrible case of an attempt at whole- sale slaughter has been discovered at Wheel- ing, Va. The Monitor Tug and Lumber Company have a large barge at their yards, which, being repaired, is held in its position on the docks by large ropes and blocks. During Tuesday night some one cut these ropes in a place where they were covered, and only the blocks kept the barge in its place. It had been determined to raise the barge with jack-screws next morning, and it was found not to be necessary. Had it been attempted, at least a dozen men would probably have been instantly killed. It is thought by the company that the cutting was done by some men whose wages had been reduced and who have been talking ugly for some time.

James Fisk, Sr., father of Colonel James Jr., whose death at the hands of Stokes all are acquainted with, speke in Concord, N. H., Sunday evening. Mr. Fisk is now sixty- five years of age, and has been a temper- ance man in theory and practice for forty-four years. He alluded briefly to the murder of his son ‘‘ by a drunken assassin, who escaped the gallows through a drunken jury,” and during his recitals there were many moist eyes among the ladies.
