A terrible collision occurred jast evening on the Metropolitan Underground Railwey at Earl’s Court. The signals became un- manageable and two trains collided.

Some seven in number, their names will be given in another issue. The great match running event of the season, as the readers of tho Times know, takes place on Tuesday after- noon, Aug, 25, at 2o’clock. This race is between the Nova Scotia horse Electrician, and the New Brunswick mare Golden Maxim, for a purse of $1000 and the championship of the Maritime Provinces. A desperate race may be looked for as both horses are in fine condition and are very free runners. The race will be full mile heats, best 2in 3.

| The Scotch Evangelist in Alberton.

A correspondent of the Patriot writes:

| closed a very delightful series of Evanyel- | istic services in this place Mr. Vans is a! | native of the city of Glasgow, and has had | several years’ experience in evangelistic

work. The principal elements of his suc-

cess are his strong faith in God, his intense | yearning for the conversion of souls, and his thorough consecration to the glory of his Master. He spent nearly six weeks | between Alberton, Blcomfield, Elmsdale' and Montrose. The meetings were larg: ly

attended and continued to deepen in inter- | est till the last. The closing service was | held in Alberton, on Sabbath evening, the 16th. The Presbyterian Church being toc small to accommodate the large congrega- tion that was assembled from all the coun- try round, the service was held in the open air. There must have been over 1000 peo- ple present. The visit of Mr. Vans to this part of the country has been greatly blessed. Christians have been much re- vived, and many have professed to be con- verted to God since the meetings began. We sincerely hope that other places may avail them elves of Mr. Vans’ services, and that God may use him very much in advancing his cause on this Island.”

Progress of the N. B. and P. E. I. Railway.

A correspondent of the Moncton Times writes (Aug. 20th ):—It might be interest- ing to the public to hear how the N. B. and P. EL. railroad is progressing. The sleepers and rails are laid as far as Baie Verte, and a freight train is running twice a week, carrying freight aud passengers in quantities far beyond the most sanguine expectations of the stockholders. Baie Verte is about midway from Sackville sta- tion to Cape Tormentine, and it is the in- tention of the company to go on with the other half of the road as seon as another engine can be procured. Mr. Fred. C. Harris, in the employ of the company, is now in Boston, and writes that he has got an engine and will be back with it in a few days, when I suppose that portion of the road between Baie Verte aud the Cape will be commenced and hurried through. It is believed by persons competent to judge that this road will be a great feeder of the Intercolonial, as it will be the outlet of the entire province of P, E. Island. The local | traftic promises well.

The Gould system of railways has manag- ed to get at loggerheads with the Knights of Labor. The executive of this body de- sired to dircusa certain views wite Colonel Talmage, the General Manager of tke Wabash road, but failing to see the point, he declined their invitation, and they have, in consequence, ordered Kuights of Labor to cease work throughout that entire system of roads, which includes the Iron Mountain, Missouri Pacific, Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Texas Pacific and other roads.
