.Water Supply.

‘Tue other day, while excavating for the Gas Works extension, the workmen tapped an inexhaustible spring of water. Mr. Johnson (of the Burrell - Johnson Iron Company, of Yarmouth,) is here superintending the work, has set up two self-acting

who

been obliged to steam pumps, and to keep them working night and day, in order that the excavation may be kept clear of water, so that the men may work. Yesterday about 700,009 val- lons were pumped out; and it is believed that the spring will produce this. anwunt every day of the year. The idea 9i utilizing this water has got abroad. Mr. Joluson says it may easily be conveyed to an ad- jacent reservoir, where the eastern part, or,

plied. The idea should be promptly con- sidered by the Civic authorities; and, if worth acting upon at all, should be acted upon without delay. As the pumps and other machinery are on the ground, the work may be more cheaply done now than at another time.

The water much of the gas works to be fit for drink- ing; but it is supposed that it will not con- tinue so long. At any rate it could be used for every purpose that well water is now used for; and, if utilized,it would be in- valuable in times of fire. It is as clear as

tastes rather too

possible. Railway Management and Mis- management.

Of the management of the Intercolonial, Dr. Tupper said, at Sydney:—

Now remember that there was a great hue and cry about the Intercolonial when the pres- ent Government came into power; that Mr. Brydges was sent down ; that the salaries were to be cut down, and that everything was to be

divided? But I am proud to know that the

— ,time has come when in the County of Cape

Breton, with all its intelligence, I receive the hearty approva) of such a great body of the people for the course I pursued. And welll may! What has Union done?! It has changed a small and isolated country into part of one of the greatest countries on the globe, a country embracing below the Arctic circle a territory almost as large as the whole of Europe. We can understand the grand proportions which this country issumes When we consider that not only is ‘t vast in extent, but that it possesses sources of wealth and treasures, second to those of no other country in the world, a healthy climate, fertile soil, unrivalled fish- eries, inexhaustible supplies of coal, of iron, gold, silver, and copper—all that is needed tomake a country prosperous. When I say that no country in the world possesses a more fertile soil than is to be found in iarge sections of this Dominion, that we are rich in all the resources that contribute to national prosperity, you “can under- stand the position occupied by this Pro- vince to-day, compared with the position it oceupied previous to Union. Nor is it size alone or natural resources that prove the greatness of our country! Look at the eredit of the country abroad ; the bonds of Nova Scotia, that could not once be sold above 96 before the Union, to-day stand at i12. Look at the trade and revenue of the country : During seven years such was the expansion of its business that under a lifteen per cent. tariff its revenue rose from thirteon millions to twenty-three millions of dollars. Bet not only in extent of trade ul in expansion of revenue is the position of the Provinces greatly improved, but also in reference to our status as a country. Contrast the position we occupy to-day and he position we occupied at’ that time. What do we find? Even the London Times’ never disjosed to look too favorably upon Canada, has been forced to the con- clusion that under this great Confederation Canada has become, instead of a source of weakness, a source of strength to the Em- pire. In view of the struggle which seemed unpending with Russia, one of the sources of strength of the British Government was found in the loyalty which the people of Canada had evinced in their readiness to take part in any struggle in which the Em- pire might engage.

In Mr. Brydge’s report on the state of the road he has to admit that, taking five years under our management, the receipts cover the ex- penditure, as during the last five years, they have shown a deficit of $850,710 on the manage- ment of the Intercolonial Railway during the

Instead of having made Canada rich they found they have had to face the fact that they were losing a hundred thousand dollars, and they had to come back to our tariff for fear of losing a hundred thous- and more a year. That shows whether they or we best understand the management of rail- wavs after they are constructed. Then they said Mr. Carvell mast be turned out, because in the winter of 1873—and you remember what a severe winter it was—he had spent 114 per cent. of the earnings of the road to operate it.

The Boss-Hanlon Boat Race,

Special Despatch to the Examiner. Sr. Jonmy, August |.

The Ross-Hanlon race took place yester- day afternoon, after five days postponement. At 5.15 the men drew in line, and the word ‘‘go” was given by Sheriff Harding, referee. Ross got half a length the best of start, and kept it for first quarter, rowing at 34 to the minute, Hanlon pulling hard at 32. At the half mile Hanlon was on even terms with him; at the three-quarter mile Hanlon had a decided lead, Hanlon pulling at 32, Ross at 30. Hanlon then spurted, pulling at 34, and gained about a length, in which position they rowed two miles, when Ross spurted, rowing at 36, Hanlon reached the mile in the good time of 6.11, Ross following closely, when Ross’ rowlock gave way and he went out of his boat, losing the race. Hanlon rowed over the course in the good time of 36m. 50s. Hanlon starts for home to-day. Ross goes to Silver Lake to row in a regatta there in about a fortnight, where he will measure oars with Hanlan again and some others of the best American oarsmen. ‘The conclusion of this race is very unsatisfactory, as many stil! think Ross the better man.

A PEDDLER DROWNED BY A SUPPOSED FRIEND —THE OBJDCT OF THE CRIME THE Possks- SION OF $2,009 WORTH OF SILK,

The details of a most revolting and cruel murder have been received by the police au- thorities of Montreal, and detectives are ai work to bring the felon to the bar of justice. Both the murderer and victim are from this city. The following are the circumstances of the crime:—‘‘Mathieu Matherson was a peddlar engaged principally in the sale of silk goods, which he took with him in considerable quan- tities. On Wednesday night last he was at Rouse’s Point, where he met with John Cos- tofrolase, jeweler, of that place. In the even- ing a gentleman in the Custom House saw them embark together in a boat for a sail on the lake, Several hours afterwards Costrofolase- was ob- served coming from the water’s edge alone. He was catechised as to where his friend was. He replied carelessly ‘*He’s gone West.” There was nothing about his manner to arouse suspicion, but yesterday after. noon asasmall steamboat was passing over the same sheet of water those on board shuddered with horror to behold a corpse turned over by the prow the vessel, which proved to be thebody of Matherson. It is be- lieved that Costofroalez struck the old mana heavy blow on the head, fracturing the skull and then threw the body overboard. Costo-

In reply to her ques- tions he said that Maravon had gone to Al- bany and that he was about to follow him. He then disappeared quickly without another word. The detectives have hopes of arresting him before morning. All the deceased had with him, some $2,000 worth of silks, a valua- ble gold watch and some money have disap peared, and robbery is supposed to have been
