The recent remarkable accident on the
Great Northern Railway of England, furn-
ishes additional proof mat as long as rail-
way signaling has to depend upon human
means for its working, accidents will occa-
sionally happen, however near to perfection
the system adopted may approach. Her ce
the necessity Of dispensing with human and
a. far as possible, aud Of adopting scientific
methods which can be and are made self
acting, and 50 reliable that, should they fail. !.
they will give warning Of danger, and thus
prevent accident, unless they are wilfully
disregsrded. Our attention has been drawn
to the subject by a letter from Sir Cusack
Roney, which recently appeared in the Lon
don star, and which describes plan Of rail
way signaling now on trial in Paris The
apparatus is at work short distance outside
the Barrisrs d'Etoile, on scale of sufficient
magnitude TO completely exhibit the prin-
ciple and its application. The invention be-
longs to Signor Vincent, very intelligent
| Italian engineer, and the essence Of It Is that
| in its working it dispenses altogether with
any but mechanical and electric agency. !.
The main features Of the plan are the placing
loi cast iron boxes or cases about 10 inches
high at intervals along q railway varying
from $50 yards Or 5000 yards. Where the
trains are very frequent, and at the spaces
near 70 the stations, the distances between
the boxes should be short b0f they may be
placed At considerable Intervals in districts
where the trains are not numerous. In the
interior Of each box is very beautiful but
very simple ele ctric apparatus, which COM

The financial news by the steamer Gu
ba, which arrived at Halifax Monday
with Queenstown dates to the 18th inst,
Is of great importance.
A panic had seized the London money
market, prevailing equally on Thursday
and Friday, the 10Th and 11th. Univer-
sal CONSERVATION and distrust were felt
The alarm was more general than at any
time since the memorable disastrous year
Of 1928. Many failures are reported;
among them those Of PetO & Belts, the
head of the firm being the well known
railway capitalist, who recently visited
this country; Overland, and the Consoli-
dated Discount Company. There were
runs on many other banking houses. The
Government authorized the Bank of En-
gland to issue five million pounds Of ad-
dItiOnal notes. The rate OF discount was
raised by the Bank to nine, and subse-
qUently to ten per cent, aud the greatest
discrimination was made, only special ap-
pications being favorably considered
There was a decline IN cotton of from ID
to Id a pound. Five-twenties fell four
and a half per cent, closing at last ad-
vices at 6+l865, with nothing doing.
On Saturday, the 18th, the excitement
was somewhat allayed. and more conf
dence was exhibited. The Paris BOurse
the rates Of discount from three and a
half to four per cent. took place.
The reception of the Intelligence at
New York, at five o'clock Monday after
noon. oceasioned an advance of one per
cent In gold Should the Treasury stop
selling gold. as Is now probable, 1t would
rise rapidly to about 40 which would
counterbalance the decline Of tve-twen-
ties abroad.-CiR. Gazette

Special efforts are being made the pres
ent year to secure means largely to increase
Bhe operations Of both the literary insti-
turions located in this place. In further
ance Of this object, an Educational Con
ventiOn has been called, of gentlemen
from different parts of the State, to meet
on Tuesday Of Commencement week. As
the number Ia attendance viii be large,
and as the Convention meets at a time
when many other visitors are likely to be
In town, 1t will be necessary to call upon
the citizens very generally to aid in en-
tertaining those who may be=present. To
do this may cause some Inconvenience,
but IN view of the interests Of this move
ment to the community, and the we'll
known liberality of our people, it is be-
lieved this call viii be cheerfully met and
that there will be extended to the mem
bers of the Convention a generous hospi-
tality
Families will be called upon the coming
week. and should it be found that the
Convention cannot be accommodated, the
call for its meeting will be countermand-
ed. Such a necessity, however, would, on
many accounts, be cause Of much regret,
and it Is earnestly hoped it may not occur.

An effort was made on the eve of the
funeral, in the City Of Mexico, of the late
Henry w. Allen, ex-eonfederate Gov
ernOr of Louisiana, to have the coffin
borne to the grave covered with Confed-

this demonstration was abandoned by the
friends Of the deceased.
Beverly Tucker, while on his way to
Mexico city, whittier, it Is said, he had
been dispatched to act as correspondent

Another inundatiOn was feared, the

few Inehess only of the level OF the capital. /
Macmillan had sent a communication 1
to the Minister in charge of the civil list 4
important reductions to be Il
made in the expenses Of his household,
at the same time voluntarily cutting down
