Allinvestigation to date has failed to reveal the cause of the collapse of the Cornwall bridge. This bridge carries the Ottawa and New York railway over the St. Lawrence river pear Cornwal], Ontario, [t consists of threespan of 370 feet each, About noon of September 6th two of these e,ans which bad just been ail but complet- ed together with a masonry and concrete pier On which they rested suddenly collaps- edand toppled into the river, carrying some fifty men working on the spans 2own with the wreckage. Fifteen men were killed and sixteen seriously injured. Many engineere and experts have visited the scene of the wreck and have given their views to the technical press of the United States. The concensus of opinion ap- pears to point to the defective foundation of the pier as the true cause of the collapse The velocity of the current at the site of the bridge —from five to seven miles per bour—the depth of the water, about 35 feet, and the inextricable mass of wreckage has rendered an exam- ination of the pier foundation by divers impracticable to date. The pier in quesiion was built last fall to a height considerably above water level and successfully stood the shocks ofthe heavy ice during the spring treshets. The narrow base of the in proportion to its height, 70 feet, isa subject of much criticism by engineers. The bd of the river on which the pier was founded is reported as a hard clay pan overlaid with pebbles and boulders usually found inthe beds of our Canadian rivers. Very little under~minivg or crosion uoder a pier as narrow as this, it will be seen, would be sufficieat to topple it over. There was no unusual freshet in the river at the time of the accident, but heavy false works used inthe erection of the spans obstructed the channel to such an exteat that the velocity of the current was very much accelerated at che site of the piles, and this probably resulted in the boulders and clay being washed out sufficiently to impair the stability of the structure, caue= ing itto topple over badly without giv- ing apy warning SHIP NEWS —— Port of Charlottetown.

Montreat, Sept 19.--Private advices received here from QO 'tawa state that communications have recently been ex- changed between the Papal Secretary of State and Sir Wilfrid Laurier conc+rning the appointment of a successor to Cardinal Taschereau as Canadian representative in the Sacred College. Wishing to fill the vacancy, the Papal court thonght proper to consult the head of the Can- adian Government as to tbe person and place that be would like to see bonour~ ed with the high dignity. It appears that the Premier at once suggested Archbishop Bruchesi as the man of his choice, but the Archbishop of Montrea] declined the honor when consulted himself on the mat» ter, giving a8 his reasons that, being stilla young man only recently consecrated, he would not feel justified iu accepting a dig- nity which, in bis view, belonged to some elder brother in the hierarchy, and be suggested the name of Archbishop Begin, of Quebec. It is said, however, that Sir Wilfrid refuses to recommend Mgr. Begin under any circumstances and insists upon the appointment of Mgr. Bruchesi. a ett ST. JOHN EXHIBILION. SHEEP—~ SHROPSHIRES.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION. One of the most wonderful and complete inventions of the age is the celebrated Clark, of Chicago, fountain spittoon . which the proprietors ef the Berlin Dental Parlors have just adidedto their already well equipped establishment. To realize the magnificence of this article one should inspect its workings. The Clark is aself- cleaning fountain spittoon, with a refresh ing view always before the patient, and has two bowls, the inner bow! being revolved by the force of water from a4}-inch jet. The water covers tbe surface of the inner bow! from rim to centre, and carries away all accretions immediately. Perhaps the main point about the outfit, and the one that will be most appreciated by the patient, is the saliva ejector. Persons who have had occasion to undergo dental service will remember the discomfort caused by the extra flow of ealiva while the operation was being carried on. This is completely doue away with by use of one of the attachments ofthe Clark spittoon. The saliva ejector is a fice glares tube con- nected with a flexible silk tubing, which completely carries away the saliva and gives the patient every comfort, Altogether the apittoon isa work of art. It is interesting to the patient by its cleanliness and beauty and is ao attractive outlet for the disappearance of the must objectionable feature of a dental office. The enterprise of the Berlin Denta] Parlors is to be commended. —_—— >.> a BAD HARVEST IN RUSSIA Most unfavorable reports continue to reach St, Petersburg regarding the state of affairs in theRussian districts affected by the bad harvests. In the province of Kazan, where the distress is particularly acute, the signs of drought are said to be presenteverywhere. Not a single bayrick is to be seen in farm yard or meadow. Straw »)so is Jacking, and cattle are al- ready being fed on fodder taken from the thatches of cottages, while some of the Cattle are dying off from want of proper food and the sickness resulting therefrom. Horees and oxen are being scld at haif- price, or even athird of whatthey would fetch in ordinary times. The authorities are now busy devising measures to prevent the complete des~ truction of live stock during the famine. Great purchases of fodder and grain are to be made in other provinces, and thecattle will be fed with supplies distributed from the stores thus acquired. It is likely also that peasants will receive permission to gather fagote for fuel and dried leaves for fodder in the woods. Terrible aa the situation now is, the dis- tress not only shows nosigns Of abating, but is expected to be far greater in the THE CZAR’S MANIFESTO. As might have kom expected, the Czar’s i= disarmament manifesto is already le forgotten in Europe, and is likely to be quietly pigeonholed. burg the enthusiasm which it provoked was ebort lived. The correspondent ot the Londou Standard doubtless correctly describes the position taken when he says that “so soon as the first notes of sceptical foreign comment'were heard the prese began to mininize its sigaificance, while the ex- preseed public opinion ab. ut it was to the effect that it was a platonic act, testifying to the philanthropic sentiments of its im- peral author, rather than a serious State document having actual consequences in view. The Novosti, which at first her- alded the circular as a new gospel of peace universal, a Jittle later on thought that its chief effect would be to disarm the sus- picions of England regarding Russian intentions. The Novoe Vremya was the first journal to point out that the docu- ment must be equally unwelcome to powers like Germany, who believed in armaments as the best secnrity for peace, avd to France, who would re- gard itas aprobibitionof her schemes of revenge. Ina later issue the Novoe Vre- mya boldiy asserted thatthe document referred only to the further development of armaments, Its meaning, it said, simply was a proposal that the existing forces should be maintained without additiors. There war no question of immediate dis. armament. As Russia has been increas - ing her army very rapidly of late, she of course would be contented to abide by an , agreement of this kind.” 25 cents per quart for oysters at Joy’s.
