Mr. Chanteloup, of this city, has re- ceived contracts to light Bonaventure Sta- tion, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Har- bor with electric lights.
Haurrax, Nov. 15.
Notes of preparation for the reception of
\the Marquis of Lorne resound ‘on every
side. The three arches to be erected by the military authorities will be commenced at once. One will be across Brunswick street from the Garrison Chapel; the second across Hollis street, and the third across Spring Garden road from Bellevue House, formerly the General’s residence, but now used as officers’ quarters. The naval authorities have commenced work; the framework of the archin the dockyard is already up, and the wharf which is to form the landing place for the vice-regal party has been tastefully painted. The barges in which the party will land have been com pleted and are very handsome. Lonpon, Nov. 15.

Bompay, Nov. 15.
A despatch to the Times of India from Koha says the Government at Simla has issued stringent orders to the military com- mander to supervise all press telegrams. It is believed that all civilian correspondents who attempt to report forbidden matters will be sent to the rear, and that any person attached to the army who offends in such manner will be court-martialled.

THE RAILWAY TRAGEDY.
A Correct Account of the Awful Disaster in New Brunswick.
Tue following account of the accident, from the St. John Sun’s special correspond- ent on the spot, may be received as reli- able :—
Harrtianp, Nov. 15.
The passenger car left the track south of the bridge which crosses Harmon’s stream at Peel, about four miles above Hartland. It went safely over and for a distance of nearly one hundred and fifty yards on the ties, tearing up the rails and displacing the sleepers, when it upset and commenced its perilous voyage down a steep embankment to the water’s edge. The sudden lurch also carried the baggage car, and, its connections being severed, 1t was soon sharing the same fate. The cars must have turned over half a dozen times ere they reached the beach. Some four or five persons, living convenient, were the first to reach the scene of the dis- aster—probably not over two minutes from the time the accident occurred. A scene of the wildest description presented itself. Cries, groans, prayers and_ entreaties reached their ears. Already the car had taken fire and added fresh horror to the scene. The men for a moment were horri- fied, but once aroused they fought manfully, dashing through blinding smoke and fiery flame to the rescue of the poor unfortunates. Some through theirown exertions clambered through the windows and were borne by willing hands to a place of safety.
Four of the unfortunates, either from being stunned or blinded by the smoke, perished in frightful agony, the strongest hearts having to turn away as scream after scream rent the air about them. Mrs. Leslie, of Grand Falls, made a desperate attempt for her life, and when the strong arms of Mr. C. A. Harmon were outstretci- ed to receive her she fled in the opposite direction into a very sea of fire, and was seen no more, only small portions of the skull being found of her remains. Neither Mr. Isaac Hacker, of Fort Fairfield, nor the newsboy, Beattie, were ever seen by any- one. Mr. Avard Harmon made an unsuc- cessful attempt to drag Mrs. Perry, of Presque Isle, through the window, he be- ing a very large man, weighing upwards of two hundred and twenty-five pounds. He

sunk back and was seen no more. Those who were injured were immediately trans- ferred to houses near by, and messengers despatched for medical aid. Dr. Nevers, of Hartland,was the first to put in an appear- ance, and immediately relieved the suffer- ings of those whoespecially required ite Dr. Wiley, of Florenceville, came some time afterwards and rendered efficient service, and at 2 o’clock, a. m., theliving were quite comfortable.
A special train arrived from Gibson about 4.30 a. m., with Dr. Atherton, of Frederic- ton, who examined the patients and found them being wellcaredfor. Hundreds of people visited the scene of disaster and hundreds of comments were made on the accident.

Mr. James Mont- gomery, Dan and Albert Kearney, of Florenceville, received some wounds and contusions about the head and shoulders. A niece of Mrs. Cushman, Mr. R. D. Clark, express agent, of Houlton, Mr. John Lovely, of East Florenceville, R. Raymond, of Carleton, and ‘the brakeman, R. M. Dow, of Gibson, got off with slight injuries. The wounded are all doing as well as could be expected.

Mr. Gladstone on Political Proba- bilities.
Mr. Gladstone has an article in the ‘‘Nineteenth Century,” in which he dis- cusses the relative strength of parties, and the probability that at the next general election the Liberals will return to power. He reproaches’ the “sects” within the Liberal party with having committed felo de se by their ‘‘rampant and erratic individual- ism.” In many cases it occurred that be- cause the Liberals could only get a eadidate who agreed with them on nine ont of ten points, they handed over the seat to a Tory who differed from them on all ten points. The right hon. gentleman defends the Bir- mingham organization, and avers that the bye-elections have shown the edifice of Conservative power to be frail, giddy, and insecure.

Ten Rules for Young Men. Always pick up a hot poker by the cold end, Never pay to-day the man you can put off till to-morrow. '
Never spend your money when you can get things for nothing.
Nothing is troublesome to you that other people do for you willingly.
Do not poultice your own elbow for the boil on another man’s neck.
When angry, be sure you can handle your man before you call him a liar. Never trouble yourself to do for another what he can do just as well for himself. Never buy what you don’t want simply ecause the man says he is just out of it.
Do not despise a 20 cent cigar or a $2 dinner because another man pays for it.
No, don’t learn a trade, young man. You night soil your hands, wilt your shirt. col- lar, and spoil your complexion sweating. Go hang your chin over a counter; learn to talk twaddle to the ladies; part your hair in the middle; make an ass of yourself gen- erally —just because it’s a little more gen- teel in the eyes of the people, whose pride prevents them from pounding stone or hewing wood, and whose poverty pinches worse than one of those patent cross-] clothes pins, if the truth were only told.

Impressions of America.
FROM DEAN STANLFY’S SPEECH AT THE CEN- TURY CLUB BREAKFAST.
If there is any criticism I would make it is that the manifestations of*kindness and friend- liness have been too many and too strong. The two months which I have spent on these shores have been two years in actual work, or two centuries rather, since I have lived through all American history. In Virginia I saw the era of the cavaliers, or of the earlier settlers, and, as it were, I met Smith and Pocahontas, and witnessed over again the drama of the struggle in the great.central State among the States. In Massachusetts I saw the work and sacrifices of the pilgrims, and in Philadelphia —well, I lived in a way which would have shocked the simple soul of William Penn, (Laughter.) There are two impressions which are fixed upon my mind as to the leading characteristics of the people among whom I have passed, as the almanac informs me, but two short months. Everything seems to be fermenting and growing, and yet I have been no further west than Niagara, As I stood in the moonlight at that great work and ceaseless labour of nature and saw it for the first time, it looked to me like the incessant activity and tireless, restless, beating whirlpool of life and existence here. Inthe everlasting tumult of the abyss I saw the undying push and activity of America. Inthe mist cloud that rose in the moonlight I sawimages somehow of Ameri- can destiny. In the silver column that rose silent into the night J saw the watchful power that should be the piliar of light to the pros- perity of each nation. The other impression 1
ve had very strongly forced upon me is the ever present hopefulness and bouyancy of the people. Ready ever to step forward and again what had been abandoned as beyond the grasp of theolder people of Europe, they work night and day to supersede these pro- gressions by new divices and new methods,
