The Merchants' B ink of Halifax has undergone a chaiiKe of name, and with the beginning of the new year will do lm im s under the name of the Royal Brink of Camilla. There are eight branches of the hank in British Colum bia, "The Victoria, Vancouver and East ecu Kailway and Navigation Company was t.o-jlay formally organized. The question of the huilding of a coast to Kootenay line is no longer a matter of duuht or supposition, il ih now a plain everyday business fact that the road will be built. Up to the present time all the work that has been done along the line of perfecting arriiigeiiienta for this road bis been under the old syndicate agreement, but wilh the organization now completed work will l-egin in earnest and with as litlle de lay as possihle. The new compuny is so far practically a local concern as il is in the hands of Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster capitalists, with Alexander Ewing, New Westminster, W. L, Nicol, Vancouver, and J. T. Bethuue, of White Horse, us the Hrst board of directors."—Province, Den. 28. Probably no news of a more satisfactory nature to residents of the Boundary country could have coiiip during the last few days of the old yenr than that contained in the above paragraph. It has been the desire of this section of British Columbia fm some years to have railway connection with const points by the route named, and now it seems as though these de sires weie to he gratified, and the richest section of our Province to be afforded all the advantages of a rail' road, The new company will operate under both Doniinion aud Provincial charters, the Piovinuial Government, being pledged lo reinstate the subsidy of $4,000 pei mile for 3.10 miles, which was removed some time ago. As Tin? Advance goes to press the last few hours of the living century are quickly passing, and the nineteenth century, which has witnessed to many changes and stood for the rapid inarch of civilization as no other century has ever done, will soon be of the past. Iu looking back on the last hundred years we are aware of many innovations, mechanical, scientific and otherwise, that have tended to revolutionize the world and better llieconillilou uf man kind, in comparison with which the previous century seems very barren. What will bc the thoughts of those who will be preparing Ihis up in date journal for puhlic perusal when the coming hundred years have rolled by is a milter of conjecture, but we are nearly safe in saying lhat when such lime dues arrive the editor, whoever he may he, will not have to divide his lime lietween writing editorials calculated to stir humanity to its most pro found depths and furnish motive power for a Washington press. In this connection we are struck with the thought that, on this, '.he last day of the last year of the old century, hum- aniiy. us represented hy tbe denizens of British Columbia, should make the resolution to .commence the new year and the new century by becoming subscribers to this p ipular family periodical (no household is complete without it—beware ot imitations) for which we are willing to take in exchange the small sum of $2 per annnm in advance. With this parting thought, we wish our readers a Happy New Year and a Prosperous New Century. of the night watchman 600 )aids distant. No one was hit. In the meantime Ihe fugitive left Clark avenue anil run for lbe Columbia lodging house, which he entered by the rear door and proceeded to his room. The marshal lost sight of him and afterward wenl to bed. Sheriff Henry Walseman wns aroused by lhe shots. He procured a lantern and took up t he trail. This was an easy matter, as there was fresh snow on the ground. Shortly after leaving the street Lamb fell into a small watercourse and got. mud on his clothes, The sheriff wiib informed by the landlady of Ihe Columbia lhat a mini had come iu the house about half an horn- before and had gone to bed in a room recently occupied hy a man named Walker, but as she did not see him she did not know who it was. The sheriff found his man In bed apparently sound asleep and look him tothe jail. The mud was still fresh on his clothes. This, together with the buy's story and the statement of the guard inside the pnitofflce that, the wouldbe robber had one hand lhat wns minus several fingers, is fairly conclusive evidence of guilt, the sheriff says. Lamb has a bad reputation on account of alleged crimes committed elsewhere, according to the mai shal, but he has done nothing here, so far as known, of a criminal character. He haa lieen a hanger on ahout saloons and the associate of toughs. Young O'Brien rame here some time since with his parents from British Columbia. The worst, thai can lie said of him ia that he associated with the tough crowd, Had the rob her succeeded in securing the sack he would have got t wo lett ers and a pack - age of the Republic, and a registered newspaper. .
