Raises a Small Commotion.
Calgary, N. W. T., June 20.���The
first tiain ~_st since Sunday left
tliis afternoon. At Shagnupio Point,
four miles distant, a slide was partially cleared. After an inspection
hy the officials' an engir.o was firm
run across and the passengers on the

engine returned and the train was
drawn over. Kor about a mile there

inspection was nectessary. This place
was safely ciossed. Cochrance was
reached, between which place and
Radnor there was auother washout.
At the latter point tho Imperial limited, castbo'ind, crsosed, and reported
all well. The rnn of thirty miles oc

The trackmeu are still out and determined and some of those who took
their places have left, although one
dollar per hour   is now being offered.

Halifax, N. S., June 20.-Bishop
Courtney, who befoie he was appointed
to the Anglican diocese of Nov�� Scotia, was rejtor of St. Paul's Church,
Itoston, made a scene at an entertainment in the eity last night. A London Bhowinan came here producing
an exhibition of moving pictures
representing the British navy aud
every day life of His Majesty's suil-
ors. After the performance the picture
of Edward VII. was thrown on, and
tbe band played "God Save the
King." A man,apparently in a great
hurry to leave the hall, started to go
with ids bat on. As he came down
the aisle he had to pass Bishop
Courtney. His Lordship looked at
him with dashing eyes and as he came
alongside the bishop rose and ivith
indignation struck off his hat, saying
as ho did so,"You ought to bo ashamed of yoiuself." The man stooped to
the ground and picked it up, looking
very sheepish, but beyond muttering some inaudible worns, made no
remonstrance. Such of the crowd as
saw the incident gave Bishop Courtney a cheer.

TRAOKMEN ORGANIZE.
Resnlts   of   Meeting   Held  at   Union
Hall Yesterday Afternoon.
A meeting was held at the Miners'
Union hall yesterday afternoon by the
striking trackmen of Nelson division
of the C. P. R., to organize a lodge
and discuss the present situation.
There was a good attendance and after an address by T. U. McManamon,
the Nelson lodge of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trackmen of America was
formally organized. After the usual
routine bustnes had been transacted
committees were appointed to look
after things generally. One committee have undertaken to see that no disorder or damage is caused by the men
wbo are out on strike here, and to
watch that no "ringers" from outside
come in and cause damage and blame
it on the strikers.
The different speeches were ver}
temperate in tone, chiefly to the
effect that the men were determined
to win, but would stay strictly witli'.n
the law, and endeavor to gain their
ends bv legitimate means only. Votes
of thanks were passed to Messrs. E
Boyce, J. C. Clayton, nnd K. Moe, for
their services in presenting the track
men's side of the case to the public.
The men are very hopeful that the
heavy rains in so many sections will
greatly aid in bringing matters to a
crisis shortly. The bridgemen from
Laggnu to the Coast are said to have
gono out yesterday, with the likelihood of the loeal men going today.
The men say that the tracks east of
the eity will need attention soon, as
although tbe permanent ties and
rails were laid, the ballasting has not
been completed. The engine damaging the second track yesterday haB
left only one line mailable.
FIRST-CUSS
INSTITUTION
Among the Best in
Canada.
Great Improvement Has Been
Made In the Last Few
Years.
The attendance at the library during
the piesent month has commenced to
show the effects of summer weather
there being a considerable falling off
in thc number who take advantage of
the reading room privileges. During May there was an average of in
visitors a day. The books at present
are being classified under the decimal
system of cataloguing, which groups
all books of a class together in a manner whioh gives a reader great assistance in picking out a book wanted.
Shelves will be put In shortly on
which all government blue-books will
be kept on file lu a manner handy for
reference. The magazines for July
that have been received to date are
Harper's, Ainslee's, Wide World, New
Illustrated and Strand.
The Nelson hospital is one of the
public institutions of whioh tbe citizens have good cause to be proud. Between Winnipeg and the Coast there
are none superior to it in equipment
and conveniences for handling surgical
cases, and general hospital practice.
The progress made by the institution
in the past few years has been indeed
of great importance. The hospital
has grown by reason of its excellence, made possible by the hard-
work, and in many cases self-denying
efforts of those who were connected
with it,as staff, directors, and outside
persons interested in it.
The site, which covers two acres of
ground, is in one of the brightest and
airest locations in Nelson, and the
building has been skillfully planned
to allow the windows of the various
wards to look over some of the grandest scenery cf the Kootenays.
The original building, which did
duty for a few years, has beeen converted upstairs into two general
wurds and downstairs into a dining
room. The new wing consists of
kitchen and furnace room In the
basement,reception and store rooms on
the ground Uoor.operating room, general ward and private wards on the
first lloor, and nurses' rooms, private
wards, etc., on tbe second oor. There
are also bath rooms on each lloor. Besides the main building there is a cottage hospital for maternity cases, containing ten wards. When the cottage
hospital was first built it was intended to use it for quarters for tbe
nurses, but it was found to be more
convenient for the purpose that it is
now used for, so rooms were fitted up
for the nurses in the upper story of
the main building.
Altogether there are three general
wards, two for men and one for women, giving accommodation for 21
patients, and Bi\ private wards, in the
main part, which is heated by hot
air. The cottage hospital has a steam
heating system. In both bindings tbe
ventilation is first class, being of the
most modern principle. The whole
of tbe main building has just been
newly painted and kalsomined.
The first thing that strikes the visitor to tbis hospital is the surprisingly home like and cheerful appearance
the rooms aud interior present, as
different from the gloomy and depressing air of the average hospital as
well could be imagined.
One of the most important features
of the institution is the maternity
ward, whi ;h has proved to be a great
success since it wns first inaugurated.
In this section private patients receive
a care and trained attention which it
is practically impossible to receive at
home, oven under tbe most favorable
conditions.
The present staff is a most efficient
and able one, consisting of Dr. O. E.
Doherty, house physician, who is a
graduate of Trinity University, and
Trinity Medical Bohool, Toronto, also
of the state boards of New York,
Missouri and Iowa; Miss E. Des-
Brisay, a graduate of Victoria Jubilee hospital, the matron, and Misses
M. McKecn, C. Eraser, and E. Ferris, are also from tho Victoria hospital, Miss E. Gray from an English
hospital, and Miss Bushlield from the
Guelph general hospital,are the regular staff. Besides these trained
nurses, there are four probationers,
Misses E. Howe, B. Menzics, M.Smith
and E. McKenize.
Despite the large number of serious
cases that have been treated at the
hospital, the percentage of deaths in
ono of the smallest of any hospital in
Canada or.the United States. Tbe city
doctors take month about in visiting
the hospital, and privnto patients of
course have the choice of bringing
their own doctors  to attend them.

AN ATTEMPT
TO WRECK
Switch in
Turned
Cranbrook Yards
With  Serious
Results.
Engineer and  Fireman Attacked With Stones and
Former Hurt.
A dastardly attempt to wreck a C.
P. R. train was made at Cranbrook
early Tuesday morning and as (i result the engineer is in the hospital
and the engine is a  hopoloss wreck.
A heavy freight train was pulling
out from Cranbrook for the west.
Owing to the heavy grade encountered
as soon as the town is left the train
was to be pulled up in two sections.
The engil e pulled the first one ovei
the grade and returned for tlie re
mainder of the train. It was attached to the cars and again polled ont
for tbe west. The switch light signalled that the line was clear but
when the engine approached it bounded from the track and went plunging
over the bank. At the same instant
a volley of rocks struck the cab, one
going through tlie window and striking the fireman on the head. The engine was badly smashed and the driver was taken from the wreck in an
unconscious condition. lie was removed to tbe hospital where be was
made as comfortable as possible and
it is repotted that lie is doing well.
News of the wreck soon spread
through the town and a large posse
of men turned out to hunt for the perpetrators of the deed. The company
��� mnie.liatcly had dodgers printed announcing that tbey would pay SI,0110
reward for the arrest and conviction
Of the guilty parties. Talk of lynching the culprits was freely indulged
in by the indignant citizens and had
they beeu captured they would have
had an uncomfortable quarter of nn
hour. There Is much speculation as
to the reason of the outrage and what
could have actuated those responsible
for it. The position of tho switch
and the light, the latter being turned
back to report "all clear," alter the
former had been thrown open, indicates that the work was done by a
railway man. The volley of rocks, of
course, disposes of any idea that it
might have beeu an accident.
Under the circumstances the striking trackmen are connected with the
wreck, but the men indignantly deny
that they had anything to do with it.
They point out thut they know they
will ruin their   cause by resorting   to
vate capital interested, notwithstanding tlie large amount contributed by
the mining companies of that dis-
tirct.
"Work would havej been started before this only for the arrangement of
some minor "details. We made some
promises���which we can not make
public now���befoie the charter was
granted, and this is what is causing
the delay.'' He expects to leave for St.
Paul in less than 10 days, when all
matters will be settled.
Here Colonel Brayton sightly intimated he might be in consultation
with tbe Great Northern. He went
on to say if they could not get a railroad company to take the'matter np
the road would be built by private
capital.
The properties by which the road
will pass are those belonging to the
London Consolidated Company, Richelieu Mining Company, Commonwealth Mining Company, Hazel May
Company, X-Ray Compauy and a number of others within a radius of 120
miles, while the Sullivan and North
Star groups will be on the line, but
tbey are neater Fort Steele. It is expected a smelter will be erected at the
bay before the end of this year. This
is the reason why the Crawford Bay
Railroad company is desLous to start
work on the line at tlie earliest date
possible.
SOUNDS LIKE A THREAT.
Russia's Latest Utterance on Tariff
Dispute���Further Reprisals.
St. Petersburg, June 24.���On competent authority the correspondent ot
the Associated Press is able to say
that the Russian minister of finance
regards Secretary Gage's explanation
of the petroleum question to be beside
the point. Russia has adopted reprisals in the form of increased duties un
American goods for the second time,
not because a ceitatn shipment of petroleum was taxed at an unduly high
rate, because it was not accompanied
with a certificate as to its origin, but
because Russia does not admit the
correctness of Secretary Gage's inler-
pretion of the tariff laws of the United
ed States. Section 020 of these laws
places naphtha and the products of
n.ii htha, on the free lists unless the
country to which they are exported
charges duty on similar articles from
the United States. Russia does not
think that these laws authorize the
collection of a tax on paraffine mado
In Great Britain from Russian naphtha, as decreed by Secretay Gage in
his circular of Marjh last. According
to the Russian press, this circular
is generally regarded as the answer of
the United Slates in the matter of the
Russian reprisals, and this opinion
has never been corrected.
The impression has been conveyed
to the correspondent of the Associated
Press that the nope of Secretary Gage
that Secretary of State Hay will succeed in   explaining these   matters   to
���    , , . . ,���.���.,.      ,      .the satisfaction of M. DeWitte will be
such   lawless acts and implicit orders I ....
, , . .u���. _...i���. ���.^o-,���,,_. Un   vain.    If   further   action   against
Russian trade is taken by thc   United
have been given that strict order must
be maintained. Also, as they have
mucb to expect from the engineers and
firemen in the way of sympathetic
help they, would not be foolish
enough to do anything to antagonise
that element. It is thought here that
the deed was committed by some discharged yard men who took advantage of tho strike to make the company the victim of their spite in the
hope that the trackmen would be held
responsible for it.

A HURRIED TRIP KAST.
���  wtftSl
The news dispatches of a few days
ago conveyed the Intelligence that Mr.
Turner, Piovincial Treasurer, had
gone East. No intimation of any
kind was given as to the nature of
his mission. The Victoria Post supplies the information necessary to
complete the announcement, and in
teresting reading it makes. We reproduce its article in full:
"The Hon. J. II. Turner has started off for Ottawa in a hurry. His
departure was not expected io Victoria, and in lact was not decided on
till the afternoon ou which he left.
It was given out that he had gone
to Toronto on private business. As a
matter of fact he hus gone to Ottawa
on public business. The business has
not beeu divulged, because it involves
a serious difference of opinion between tbe Dominion and Provincial
Governments, in whicli the Provincial Government stands to get very
much the worst of it. It is hinted
that Lauiier and his Cabinet, who
bave no love for the Dunsmuir crowd,
have been using some very peremptory
lauguage, so peremptory in fact that
the presence of a Cn.binet Minister at
Ottawa was deemed a matter of urgent importance, Neither Mr. Dunsmuir nor Attorney-General Ebeits
has any desire to repeat his experience of Ottawa; in fact there are reasons why the present negotiations
could not be entrusted to Attorney-
General Eberts, and Dunsmuir could
not go alone. It is hinted that
there are indications of disallowance
on such a colossal scale as would
bring on a grave constitutional crisis,
were it not.tbit tlie Provincial Government has placed itself in an impossible position and tbat the Dominion has a practioally impregnable
case. As Attorney-General Eberts is
supposed to have been the inspiring
agency of most of the legislation in
question, he could not very well go to
Ottawa to attempt to save the situation, besides his being persona in-
gratissima there. So the Hon. J. II.
Turner has been hurried off to make
the best bargain be can and to prevent open disagreement. The Provincial Government,if matters come to
a crisis, will not be able to take a
stand on tbe popular ground of Provincial rights, as they have left too
many obvious openings through which
to be attacked without any interference with Provincial rights. What is
making the Government ho nervous is
the fact that unless matters are arranged it. will be held up to ridicule
among people with whom it is already intensely unpopular. Certainly tlie departure of Mr. Turner for
Ottawa is the most rapid thing the
Government has done since tlie Hon.
James Dunsmuir has come into
power."
For the truth of any of this we
cannot, ol course, vouch, but assume
thai the Victoria editor would not
send out such statements without reasonable ground for believing them to
contain the facts of the ease. That
the mission was a hurried one and
unexpected, we aie entitled to conclude from another dispatch only a
day or two older, which raid that Mr.
Turner would not leave for his now
situation in London until the autumn, as lie was averse to malting tin;
trip across the continent during the
heat of the .summer months. And it
is by no menus unlikely thai there is
disagreement between the two Governments ou account of Provincial legislation. Tlie "business Government"
which a succcsion of accidental circumstances has installed at Victoria,
and which is being maintained hy
corruption so .shameless that it Is not
thought to be necessaiy to make even
a pretence of concealing it, hus succeeded in its short term in musing a
sad mess of things, and It will cause
hut little surprise if it shall turn out
that it is being taken to task hy tho
Government at Ottawa.
Hccausu Japanese fishermen nre signing agreements Id supply the canneries at canners' piices it is said that
"trouble is imminent.' meaning that
white Hshermcu will Interfere. Why
should ther; be trouble'.' It may be
an unfortunate thing that there aro
Jnpaliese in tlio country, and doubly
unfortunate that they will work for
a scale less than that demanded by
whites; and it may be quite true that
tho whites are justified In demanding
the higher ooale. All this muy be

who will dispute it. But if it were
ever so true, there is no pen on in
Canada, and no class of persons, invested with the right ta interfere
with the perfect freedom of others to
work for whatever scale they may
choose to accept. Trouble in such a
case would mean lawless violence, and
under the laws and customs of Can-
aria, and the traditions with which
they are enriched, this is not to be
permitted. The cause of Unionism
will be strengthened if the leaders in
it will make <t understood that no
Unions can afford to encourage lawlessness among a people with whom
law is something to be venerated.
A Victoria paper publishes the following paragraph, und credits it to
The Minor: "When the people voted
subsidies to build railroads, the sum
they gave was counted as capital invested, and they have been paying an
interest on the money they gave!
And they will always have to pay an
interest on it until the public owns
and operates the roads. Think of
people paying an interest on their
donations!'1 We do not know where
tbis first appeared, but it was certainly not in The Miner, which makes it
a practice to avoid talking   nonsense.
To get from Marcus to Republic, a
distance of forty miles, it will be
necessary for tbe Great Northern to
build eighty-three miles of railway.
The line will run direct north from
Marcus until it gains British Columbia territory; then due west until it
rocrosses the Kettle River for the
sixth time, near Carson, after which
it takes a bend to the north-west and
circles around to Midway. From Midway south the route is fairly direct.
It is expected to havo the road completed and in operation this year.
This leafy month of June will start an

The hon. member for Nelson is
greatly disturbed over the idea that
there might or could be a monopoly
of electric lighting in thi6 city, but
he was ready enough to suppoit thc
Dunsmuir Government in deciding
to impose the much greater evil of a
railway monopoly on Southern Hritish
Columbia. The very hon. member's
abhorrence of monopoly rises and
fails with the change of circumstances.

THE CITY
Judge Forin was hol.iing county
court at Port .Steele yesterday.
The Nelson liun club will hold a
practise shoot this evening at (1.30
sharp.
A few enthusiastic youths have
been going in swimming in the lake
this week, but fuund it decidedly cold
as yet.
A number of carloads of firewood
arrived yesterday over the Nelson at
Port Sheppard line, billed to different
local dealers.
Mr. C. W. Husk is raising fine
stawberries and lots ot them on his
ranch at Kokanee Creek, and is daily
snipping into to-'n over thirty crates
on an average. Geo. Bell at Co.
handle the entire quantity.
The sidewalk from The Miner office
to the Hume Hotel is now free from
steps. It is constructed to level and
as a consequence takes in the corner
of the hotel, making the side entrance
somewhat below the walk.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the practises of the fire hose teams,
which take place on Baker street east
of Josephine. Last evening a large
crowd assembled to watch and discuss
the chances of success of each.
On Monday thu water of the lake
rose an inch er so, but has lemained
nearly stationary since. On the Co
lumbla, it is reported, the water has
risen considerably in the past few
days, although there is no fear of a
flood.
The retail grocerymen have accepted
the challenge of the men's furnishing
elerks and the baseball game will
lake place at 1.30 sharp this afternoon. It p'oumes to be a somewhat
extraordinary exhibition of the great
American game.
A staff of men wore at work yester
,1ay cleaning Baker street preparatory
to the reception of tbe thousands of
visitors who will attend the celebration next week. A great deal of mud
was scooped off and the appearance
of the street thereby much   improved.
The retail clerks will not run an
excursion today, as was intended, ow
ing to the holidays occurring next
week, but commencing the second
week in July an excursion will be run
every Thursday afternoon. All the
retail stores will be closed this afternoon.
The stores will be open on Monday
morning next in order to allow the
visitors who wish to do some shopping
to do it before the athletic events of
the day commence. On Monday af
ternoon and Tuesday the stores will
be closed and there Will be no Thursday afternoon closing next week on
account of thc holidays.
Early yesterday morning yard engine
No. 384 of the C P. R., jumped the
track slightly to the westward of the
smelter flume. It ran along for about
a car length on the ties, considerably
twisting the rails. By this accident
one of the two lines of rails that give
admission to the yards from the low
er end is tied up, and all freight
trains have now to bo taken along ihe
main track to the switches at the
eastern extremity.
'. Tuesday night some unknown individual climbed in through the pantry
window of J. V. Weir's residence und
made his way to Ihe dining room
There he secured a loaf of bread,about
Half a pound of butter and some cake,
and a towel, which latter was evidently
wrapped around the rest of the plunder. Nothing else in the house was
touched, so far "s known, and the
thief left the window open behind
him. _
SUB-TROPICAL RAMBLES
The Author's Expe iences.
U. S. Consul Pike, of Port Louis,
Mauritius, has written a .harming
book upon this gem of the ocean, the
home of I'atil and Virginia.
m Col. I'lke, whoso New York address
is 43 Exchange l'laco, had a curious
experience with coffee and tho beverage almost destroyed bis eyesight.
He says, ".Speaking of colfee.my first
warning against its use was Insomnia followed by depression, and despondency. The nervous system was
In such a condition that I could not
attend to business, and to my distress
I discovered that my eyesight was
becoming more and more imperfect
every day. From ray knowledge 01
the symptoms of coffee poisoning, I
concluded to leave oft the coffee and
take up I'ostum Food Coffee in its
place.
The results were astonishing. (Iriid-
nal.y my eyesight recovered, and the
nervous condition and depressed
feeling disappeared. I have now
been using Postum in place of coffee
for several years and am in perfect
health.
My family of six persons discarded coffee some timo ago and use I'ostum. I would not bo without it. It
is a nioHi valuable addition to the
breakfast table and should be in
every household.''
The eontraot for the fence to be
erected around the General Hospital
has been let to John Toy. The tender calls for the construction of about
eight hundred feet of fencing.
The City Fire, Water and Light
committee wJll ~?eet some time next
week, after the Dominion Day celebrations to consider the offer of the
Bonnington Falls Power Co. in regard
toMhe scheme of selling the city elec-
tic light plant. According to present
indications it is not at all probable
that the offer will be entertained.
The quoit teams are requested to
meet this afternoon at the quoit
grounds at 4 o'clock, and the captains
of the various teams are particularly
urged to see that their men are on
hand at tbat time. The commltUe
also request that the Telfer vs. Forin
���iiime. which is the extra game In tne
series, will take place befoie that
hour.
A veteran prospector ppcaking of
the large number of claims that have
been located lately along the lake and
liv.r shore above and below Nelson,
said that he did uot think tbat any
of tbem were likely to prove valuable
as it seemed a rule that veins which a
few miles inland were rich in values,
became very faulty when they approached the lake.
The semi-annual meeting of the
Carpenters union was held last evening at the Miners' Union hall for the
election of officers when the following appointments were made: President, C J. Clayton; Vice-President,
Jno. Bums; Sec.-Treas., W. Ca'beck;

Major Hargraves of the Spokane
Salvation Army, arrived in the city
last evening and will be at tlie barracks this evening, when a special
meeting will be held at which the
Major will be present and will take
part. On Friday evening there will
be a conference of the soldiers to discuss the building scheme. The Major
will produce the plans for the new
barracks which will be submitted to
tbe soldiers for approval. After this
meeting some definite arrangements
will be made in regard to the commencement of building operations.
A Miner reporter had occasion on
Sunday last to make a call in one of
the principal blocks of the city. In
one room was to be heard the sound of
a typewriter going at full pressure,
in another room the quacking of a
tailor's goose, in another a solving
machine was singing merrily the
song of the shirt, another room disclosed the fact that a real estate man
was hard at work on some deal, and
another one contained a professional
man busily engaged on some mini-g
scheme. There was only one room in
the block where there was no work
going on and that was   an empty one.
