A new railway is proposed that will bring
ST. John, n. b., within twenty-four hours OF
Montreal. The route proposed is described
in A bill now before the Dominion Parliament,
and drawn up by Mr.. E. r. Burpee, civil En-
gineer, who is at Ottawa urging the matter.
Mr.. Burpee proposes to start from Lincoln, on
the f. 4 N. A. Railway in Maine, build 10
miles to Milo, on the Piscataquis Railway
traverse the Piscataquis road to Dover, %
miles: build from Dover to Sherbrooke on
the Grand Trunk, by Lake Megantic, l25
miles; and pass thence to Montreal by the
Grand Trunk, the whole distance being only
APP miles from st. John, and there being
only l4O miles to build. This would make
the distance l60 miles less than by the pres
ent route via Grand Trunk to Danville, and
thence via Bangor to st. John. The St
John Telegraph earnestly champions Mr.
Burpee's plan.

The fact that Carrot Davis and Senator
Revels partook of salt together is con"
strued by some as significant of an ap-
preaching political millennium. How this
remarkable circumstance occurred is re-
lated by Washington correspondent as
follows:
During his speech to-day Senator Morton
had on his desk collection of specimens of
Dominican productions. While speaking of
the great resources of the island the Senator
exhibited huge block of rock salt, from the
salt. mountains of Neibia. The block was
clear as crystal. and looked more like piece
of ice. A number of incredulous Senators
took occasion to verify the statement of the
Senator by gathering around and taking lick.
1t was an unusual scene-Revels and Garrett
Davis licking salt together. A quantity of
St. Domingo hemp was also tried by several
muscular Senators. Stewartan Ramsey gave
the fibre thorough testing, each having hold
of an extremity. The days proceedings were,
according to accounts, quite entertaining, and
put everybody in good humor."

confscation act of July, 1862. The court
held that the title could pass only for the life
time of the person who owned the land, and
therefore his heirs must now come into posses
sion. This decision is of great Importance
in all the Border States as well as in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and shows that these con-
fiscation titles are good only for the time Of
the rebel. The Chief Justice dissented from
the opinion.

The Cullom bill is bitter morsel for
the Mormons to swallow. They hard
ly know what sort of face to put on over
the matter. The News says:
1.-THE striking out of the five sections rids it
of several of its most repulsive features.
They were too strong for Congress to swallow.
Many thought the House would never pass this
bill in any FORM and that its clear invasion OF
the Constitution would kill it. We cannot
say what the Senate will do with it. But this
we can say, if it passes, and then should re-
ceive the signature of the President and be-
come a law, it will not meet the wishes or
answer the expectations of its authors. Per
sonally, we care not what action be taken
Persecution drove us from township to town
ship, and soon to Territory. 1t has made
us strong, thrifty, and fearless. The most
valuable experience we possess to-day we
gained through persecution, and we do not
dread its effects. If men wish to push Nor
monism ahead, Jet them persecute it. Pass
the Cullom bill, and if this fails, raise armies
and attempt to fight, drive, and exterminate,
and then watch the results. If it should pass
the Senate, and be signed by the Executive,
we may discuss its merits and probable effect"

TRAGEDY AT NEW BEDFORD.

The New Bedford papers give full parucu-
lars of the murder, on Thursday evening, OF
Theodore L. Parker by Mrs. Elizabeth Chap
man, and the suicide of the murderess. Mrs.
Chapman was about So years old and dress
maker, better known as Liz Duffy, and for
some time she had been intimate with young
Parker. a grocer, who with his brother boarded
at No. so Fifth street, where Mrs. Chapman
also took her meals. The brother of the
murdered man had warned him of the charac-
ter of the woman he had seemed not disin-
clined to marry, and had made several at
tempts to break off the intimacy. There had
been some GOODNESS between them at various
times, but recently the old relation had been
renewed, and thus matters stood at tea-time
on Thursday. The following account of the
shooting is from the Standard:
Theodore and the woman occupied their
usual seats at the table, side by side. She
finished the meal first, and withdrew to the
front entry, as she had done frequently be-
fore. This was her way of securing his COM
pany down street. He left the table few
minutes afterward, and Mrs. Websters family
startled by three reports of a pistol. Whether
the parties had any conversation before the
fatal shots were fred is not known; if any, 1t
must have been brief. 1t appears that she
fred twice upon Parker, striking him on the
right side and back of the chest, and then dis
charged her pistol into the front of her own
abdomen, the ball passing entirely through her
BODY. She was soon found to have taken a
large dose of arsenic and laudanum, and sub
seouently stated that she swallowed the poison
Immediately after using the pistol The pis-
tol shot which took effect in Parker's side
first passing through his arm. 1t is probable
that this was the first one fired, and that he
was shot in the back while in the act OF re-
treating. Another suppostion is that he was
shot first in the back, before he knew in the
darkness of the hall that any one was present
and that the wound in his side was received as
he turned to defend himself. Be it as it may,
his injuries were speedily mortal, and the vic
tim died almost as soon as he could be laid on
his bed"
The murderess was discovered to be in a
dying condition by the physician called to at
tend her The pistol used was large-sized
Colts, and was apparently new. The muir
dered man, and the brother above referred to,
were highly respected sons of the late William
G. Parker, and on his DEATH few months
since. they succeeded to the business which he
had conducted for many years. Mrs. Chap
man was married to a sailor in August, 1886,
but she never saw her husband after October
of that year, and had obtained divorce at the
last term of the Supreme Judicial Court, on
the grounds of desertion. The only reason
assigned for her rash acts is that she had ar
rived at an age when it was desirable to retire
to private life, and was disappointed in her
expectation of marrying young Parker. She
was known to be woman of ungovernable
passions.

DEATH OF MAJOR GEN. THOMAS.

The death of Major General George IL.
Thomas, at San Francisco, on Monday
night, of apoplexy, is announced by tele-
graph. This intelligence will occasion
general and deep sorrow in our country.
The brave, trusty, honest hero had won a
place in the affections of our people scarce
ly second to that held by any of the fore
most defenders of the Union against the
rebellion. His sterling integrity of char
actor elevated him quite as much in the
public estimation as the dauntless bravery
and skill with which he led his troops in
battle. Over his grave the tenderest and
sincerest tears of the nation will fall.
