LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ELECTION.

LLiberal-Conservative Candidate for Charlottetown,

HENRY LONGWORTH, ESQ.

Toe Datty EXAMINER, OCTOBER 31,1875.

Legislative Council Election.

FIRST DISTRICT OF PRINCE COUNTY.

We are informed that the Hon. William Richards, member of the Legislative Coun- cil for the First District of Prince County— who has been in England for the past three months looking after his business, and who, it is expected, is now on his way out to the Island uents to the effect that if they see fit to nominate him at the forthcoming election he will be happy to serve them. It is said Mr. Richards is favorable to the abolition of the Legislative Council.

The New Time Table.

Unper the arrangement made for the

winter, trains will leave Charlottetown daily at 9a. m. for Tignish and at 3.30 p. m. for Summerside. A train will leave Char lottetown daily for Georgetown and Souris at 2.55 p.m. ‘Trains will leave Tignish for Charlottetown daily at 7.50 a. m.; George- town daily at 9.10 a. m,, and Souris daily at 8 a. m.

A passenger leaving Souris or George- town in the morning will reach Charlotte- town at 12.40 p.m. If he be going on to Summerside he may leave Charlottetown at 3.30 p. m. and he will arrive at his destina” tion at7 p.m. Butif he be going on to Tignish, Alberton, or any place West of Summerside, he will have to remain at Charlottetown or Summerside all night.

Again, a passenger leaving Tignish or Alberton in the morning cannot go further east than Charlottetown the same day ; and he will not arrive in Charlottetown until 6 o'clock in the evening ; and he will not be able to proceed on his way until 2.55 p. m. the following day ; and he will not arrive at Souris or Georgetown until late the following evening. This arrangement is evidently very slow. Nor can it prove satisfactery. Passengers ought surely to be able to traverse the raiway from end to end in one day.

Surcripe at Sr. SrepHen.—The Whig correspondent a Calais writes that Gorham Marks, of St. Stephen, N. B., 24 years of age, committed suicide by shooting, on Sun- day afternoon. The following are the par- ticulars : About two o'clock Sunday after- noon the family heard a noise in his room as if a heavy body had fallen to the floor, and upon entering the room they found the unfortunate young man lying on the fivor, but quite conscious. He had procured some matting and placed it on the floor at his back to act as a support; then taking an an ordinary gun loaded with shot, placed the muzzle close to his body, firing it off with his foot. The contents entered a few inches below the navel, coming out just above the hip-bone. He talked quite free ly of the act, saying he was tired of life. A letter was found containing a statement of his business affairs, showing that the deed was premeditated. This family have been extremely unfortunate, one brother having died in the Insane Asylum, and another one is there at the present time. His widowed mother has the sympathy of the entire com- munity in her great affliction.

Governor CavucHon has appointed his son his Private Secretary. The reason his late Secretary resigned is said to be that one day the Governor went into a barber's shop to have his hair cut. The barber, elatad at having an exceptionally good cus- tomer, charged fifteen cents for his work. Against the enormity of this charge the Governor protested with all his great abil- ity; and, after a long continued haggle, the barber was induced to abate it to twelve cents. On his return home the careful Governor called for his Private Secretary and directed him to see and speak to the several barbers of Winnipeg and ascertain who would do the Gubernational barbering at the lowest price—with the privilege ot being permitted to paint upon his sign ‘¢ Barber to His Honor the Lieutenant Gov- ernor.” The Private Secretary, it appears, did net consider the order within the limit of his duty, and so refused to obey it. His dismissal followed. From this it wou'd seem that ‘‘ Cauchon is himself again.”

Board of Health.

The following letter was forwarded by the Health Officer of this city to the Chairman of the Board of Health yesterday.

To His Worship the Mayor, Chairman of the Board of Health:

Sir—lI beg to bring te your notice the fact that night soil is being constantly con- veyed through the streets of this city in the daytime, and I have reason to believe that a young lady lost her life from fever pro- duced by passing one of the carts used for this purpose. The practice 18 direct contravention of the Act.

While on this subject I will repeat a sug- gestion frequently made by me to the Board as to the disposal of privy refuse—-that 1s, the adoption of the dry earth system, which ean be carried out very cheaply and effec- tually by the use of boxes and sifted ashes. [could give the details of my plan ata meeting of the Board.

Iam convinced from facts which come under my notice that the contamination of the water in the wells of the city arises from the existence of privies sunk toa consider-| able depth beluw the surface.

Typhoid fever is again becoming preval- ent, and, as it has been ascertained beyond question that the disease is propagated in a great measure through the improper dis- posal of fecal excrement, 1 think it the duty of the Board to take immediate, action in! the matter. I sh ll be glad to attend a meeting called for the purpose, and make known my views at greater length; and I trust to your acknowled energy to adopt those necessary measures which your predecessors have failed to to do. I have the honor, etc., etc., etc., Joun T. J&NKINs,

Health Officer. In accordance with the above letter, a meeting of the Board of Health was cailed by His Worship Mayor Dawson last even- ing. Present : Councillors Byrne, Koughan, Horne, Davy, Beer, Stumbles, and Dr. Jenkins, Health Officer. The latter gentleman being called upon, said :— As faras his recollection goes, the pro- visions of the by-law regulating the re- moval of night soil were, that it be removed between the hours of nine o'clock at night and six o’clock in the morning. At present we can meet those carts in every part of the city every hour of theday. This, it is need- less to say, is dangerous to the health of the inhabitants. In this city a short time ago a case was attended with fatal results. A young lady who met one of those carts on the street became so affected by it that she went immediately home and complained of being sick. She instantly took to bed and died of typhoid fever after a short sickness. Had it not been for the meeting of that cart he was thoroughly convinced she would be alive to-day. A similar case occurred in England some time ago. remedied immediately, and it was for the purpose of having it remedied that he ad- dressed the above letter to the Board. Again, I wouid like to impress on the Board the propriety of the dry earth system. There would be no trouble in getting clear

by that system. In fact, one could obtain a manure that would be profitable to one- self and valuable to the farmers, besides preventing the disease which arises from

face.

the surface be cleansed with lime and filled up. He would then utilize the houses by elevating them and, instead of the well, use be thrown. By doing this he would defy any person to detect that anything offen-

would remove.

The Doctor showed that the privy vaults now sank *eneath the surface and proved ina great measure to be the cause of ty- phoid fever, which is at present spread- ing in our midst, and stated that half an nour after the vat was emptied in Hall’s pork packing establishment on Grafton street the pickle could be tasted in the water ‘aken from Gardiner’s pump on Pownal street.

The Mayor and Councillors in attendance having expressed their opinions in accord- ance with the Doctor’s—

Resolved, That the Secretary of the Board of Health inform the Stipendiary Magis- trate that night soil has been frequently removed from the premises of citizens and carried through the streets of the City dur- ing the hours of the day, in contravention vf the Bye-law relating to the removal of night soil, thereby endangering the Health of the inhabitants of the City, and the Board requests that the law be enforced.

partner of the firm, | of his supply agent in Engh to push business with his former energy, and thatin the face of a falling market, depending upon the Merchants Bank, in which he was a director, and his agent in Liverpool, Sir James Malcolm, to carry, his firm until business became more prosperous. Lhe practice was to draw through the Bank on their English agent. These drafts were honored by the agent until the firm was in- debted to him about $85,000, and the only security he held for this avaouwnt was certi- ficates of sale on their ships. We under- stand that notwithstanding the constant warning of Sir James against increasiug their tonnage, the firm continued to build ships and draw upon him until he declined to honor their paper. Nearly three weeks ago he visited the Is land for the purpose of looking into the firm’s affairs, and if possible making some arrangement for the benefit of the credit- ers generally. ‘fhe main cause of difficulty he found in negotiating with the Mer- chants Bank, was the ditlerent view held by each party asto the validity of certificates of sale, in the event of the bankruptcy of of the grantor. The bank held that Dun- can’s bankruptey would vitiate the security, while the other party was of a contrary opinion. We understand that Sir James offered to pay £4,000 and release a first mortgage ot £3,000 on a valuable whari, anda second mortgage of £10,000 which was held by the bank, on condition of his receiving concurrent mortgages on the ves- sels. But the bank pressed for £5,000, which was declined. We think the direc- tors are seriously in fault in allowing such a comparatively trifling amount to close the negotiations. Subsequent events showed this to be cause of the bank’s suspension.

During these negotiations two of the firm mortgaged their shares in some ten or twelve vessels owned by the firm in lieu of the certificates of sale held by Sir James. When the bank learned that the shipping of the firm was being assigned to parties off the Island, it immediately issued an execu- tion against the firm, and seized all the per- sonal property. A writ of attachment was at once issued against the firm by order of the Judge. On the following day an in- janction was granted by the Court of Chan- cery against Sir James Male lm and the Registrar of Shipping, restraining the form- er trom dealing in any way with the said mortgages, and commending him to deliver them at once to the Court of Chancery, awaiting its order. practice, it is stated that at the hour the
