St. Petersburg, April 22. -In the frown- ing Peter and Paul's fortress across the river an incident happened on. Wednes- day which, contrasted with the foregoing reveals the temperamental differences between the opposing forces in the social struggle. • Last week it young and beautiful girl was arrested. for travelling on a forged paseport, and was put in the fortress. Day after day the young woman was ex- amined by the authorities, wlao suspect- ed, probably rightly, that they had caught an important terrorist. It is asserted that no threats were made or torture inflicted, but on Wednesday the young woman was found dead in her cell. She had. torn out by the roots enough of her long blaek hair to make a noose with which, tied to a bedpost, she choked herself to death. "I was afraid. they would make me tell," aro the words of explanation: she is said to have left on a serap of paper.

This Is especially the ca.se in hardware, as shipments have been awaiting summer freight rates tor ;some time. General linos of hard- ware are in good demand, but It is in metals and other heavy lines that there is most activity at the present moment. Manufac- turers have orders beyond caapcity.

Considerable additions are being just now made to the rolling stook of the Grand Trunk, in the delivery of sonic five thousand freight cars of various kinds.

The cars are of the most modern type, as is shown by the immense capacity of tho steel coal cans, which have a carrying power of 100,000 pounds each. The cars are be- ing rushed into active work a‘s fast as they arrive, which is about 30 it day. The order which is now being deliv- ered consists of: . 1,000 steel coal capacity. 1,250 box ears of 60,000 lbs. capacity. 1,500 flat cars of 60,000 lbs. earacity. 250 furniture ewe of 00,000 lbs.

Dillinger has wired to the Railway COMMission ask- ing that body to et once request the C. P. R. to take over and operate the Prince Albert road. There are at pre- sent twenty-two engines of the Canadian Northern on the Prince Albert branch. If the operation of this branch was tak- en over by the Canadian Pacific these twetayetwo engines, in excellent condi- tion, would be at ewe released. for use on other portions of the C. N. R. The importance of the release of so many engines is apparent, -when it is learned that the C. N. R. have but one hundred engines assigned for freight service.
