Avr Amherst Charles Tupper caine out strongly in favor on Nomination Day, Sir of connecting P. E. Island with the rest of the Dominion by rail. The position of Sir Charles Tupper on the question of the Subway is in marked contrast to that of Mr. Blake. Sir Charles sees an obligation of the Government of Canada remaining unfulfilled, and he -is ready and willing to consider the Subway or any scheme by which the bargain may be carried out.

After remain- ing their for some time hetook the road leading te» Georgetown which vould take him to the Indian Reserve on the Morell River. When he had almost reached the reserve he became bewildered and could not proceed further, and there he appears to have rem@med all night. Happily, the following morning was Sun- day, and the neighboring settlers, while on their way to chapel, discovered him. He ‘was then in a state of insensibility, and had to be removed to his house in a sleigh. It was not until Monday, the 7th inst., that ex-Commissioner Stewart was made acquainted with the facts of the case. Stewart at once consulted with the medical officer of the department on the subject. The medical officer suggested that Noel be brought in to the Charlotte- ‘town Hospital without delay, and tele- graphed the Superintendent of Lennox Island informing him of the accident and asking permission to have the Indian Promptitude and portant at such a jancture ex-Comumissioner Stewart left the city on the following after- noon, and having made the necessary ar- rangements at St. Peter's was enabled to Rae | bring the unfortunate man down to town to unduly favor , by Friday morning’s train, and placed him in charge of the Sisters of Charity in the Hospital. The medical] officer is of opinion that a portion of each of his feet will have 'to he taken off, probably leaving but the istump on each foot. His generai health seems not to have been affected at all. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. ns Not Begus Votes.

The Patriot ‘in the article referred to, also said they were aware 135 votes were struck off, not because - they were Catholics, but for the reason that they were ‘ bogus 'votes:” The Patriot deliberate falsehood in the matter.

In reference to the other state ment of the Patriot we might ask the editor of that paper if it dees not seem strange that 95 out of 135 of those disqualified happened to be Catholics ? who were struck off the list had good votes; but some were absent froin the city, others had business that prevented them | from attending the Revision Court.
