What shall we have for this vast
outlay ? Two sections of the main
road are being built, one of 114 miles
from Lake Superior westward to Eng-
lish River and the other of 114
miles from the Red River eastward to
Rat Portage. But Rat Portage is 180
miles distat from English River, and
this intermediate section has not been
placed under contract nor does the
Premier propose to take it up for five
years yet. Hence_whea the $18,563,-
000 shall have been spent. we shall be
practically as far from having all rail
eommunieatiou with 1\'Iauitoba as we
are to -day. The Pembina branch will
be open, bat our Canadian road will
still be "among the clouds." Mor: -
ever, the sections from Superior -to
English River and from Red River to
Rat Portage will be decaying and going
to wreck while the gap of 180 miles
is being built. The cost of those two
sections is estimated at $5,750,000. In
other words this money on which we
pay Lombard street nearly $300,000,
interest a year will lie stunk 1n the un-
connected links for five years.; The.
Premier has a faculty for locking•
uuouey up. Three millions have beet.)
invested in steel rail piles since 1874,
and the rads areuot needed yet.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
Information leaches this city to night
of a portible tragedy which occurred
yesterday in Rutherford County, i11
the western part of North Carolina, in
whish the Bev. 1?r. Wade Hill shot and
killed lits son -ill -law, Maj. Andrew
Scroggina. It appears that Seroggins,
while in a passim, .shoat a week ago,
stripped and whipped Dr, Jfi11's young -
eat daughter.. Scroggina' wife was lf're-
seut, and begged her hu'ibeud not to
hurt her sister, but he paid no attention,
and inflicted palmus chastisement ou
the girl. is sn0t1 as 1110 father heard
of his sou-in.Jaw'e conduct, he wont to
him atm demanded an explanation.
Scroggii s salt] he had acted 011 the im-
pulee of the ruminant, but .Dr, Hill re.
plied that he had no right to lay hie
hands ou the child ; and the gentleman,
becoming involved in a quarrel over the
clatter, got to blows, and had it rough-
aud•tuwble, the father-in-law coming
oat hest. 'Phis so eurat.ed. Maj. Sorog-
gins that 1,e weut home, and after eou-
suttiug fhieuds, sent a challenge to the
reverend geutteinan, whish was prompt-
ly declined by the said geutlehntau, Tue
Major theu vowed to lass friends that
he would get the beat of the old man,
even if he had to throw poison in his
coffee. He armed himself with a uavy
revolver and a dirk, 80 as to be fully
prepared to lay hie antagonist out on
eight. The Reverend Doctor also arm-
ed himself to the teeth, tt case of an
emergeucy, and went about his spiritu-
al work as usual. 'Yesterday the two
met, ahauoed to meet on horseback in
the road near the Doctor's house. Ma-
jor Soroggius exclaimed, with . slicer,
"Abe! I've got you nowt" 'Poe Doc-
tor replied, " Keep cool!" The Major
replied, " Ten minutes to say your
prayers." By this time they were tau
paces apart,, an i the impromptu duel

Dootor fired once, killing his antagoa-

greatest excitement prevails, though

Railroad the exclusive monopoly of that
branch for ten yearn, the Government
retaining the privilege of terminating
thelease at the end of five years by
paying the lit. Paul and Pacific an
'amount to be decided by arbitration.
A bill to sanction such an arrangement
was thrown out by the Senate at the

assumed the entire responsibility for
the step. The fact that D. &. Smith,
M. P. for Selkirk, Manitoba, a wealthy
supporter of the Government, is one of
