Francis Hincks said that connection Of the
Dominion and British Columbia by Pacific
railroad was practicable and feasible. With
regard to the late calling together of the
House, he was surprised that the gentlemen
who preceded him shonld express ignorance

every one could see in the Important question

reason for the postponement of the meeting

would see how important it was that in a
question of such importance. the Imperial

feet accord.

Suicide and Sudden Death.

Two deaths have occurred at the American
House during the last twenty-four hours !;
one was that off comparatively young man,
well known and connected in the city and its
neighborhood, while the other was that of
man of middle age, who had but few if any
friends in civil life in this portion of the
country, and it is supposed that not many of
the army officers on this station knew him
personally.
Thursday afternoon Charles L. Emerson
Of Methuen, engaged rooms at this hotel
paying at the time for two days board, and

| retired. He was not again seen alive, bnt
at nine o'clock last evening the chamber
maids. having tried Intellectually to enter
his room, alarmed some of the porters, who
forced the door, when they found poor EN-
erson's remains stark in death. life having
been extinct for number of hours, apparent
ly From the condition of his room and from
such information as could be obtained, it was
evident that he had taken his life as the re-
suit of clearly formed and well-debated
purpose, as each of his preparations for
death, from the composition of his letters to
the very act of taking the arsenic, which was
the agent used, showing the utmost delibera-
ton and absence of excitement. One of the
letters referred to is addressed to his mother
at Methuen, and state that he is heartily sick
OF the world, and that as life has no further
charms for him he does not wish to remain.
He also says that his religious convictions
are such that he knows there is a better
future tor him and that he will see his
Saviour. ES FL tn EBt$6
Mr.. Emerson, it is said, was employed as
travelling agent for the Young Mems Christ
ian. Union, and had just returned to the city
from trip in its service. He has always
borne an excellent reputation, and there is
nothing to show anything else than that a
morbid condition Of the mind led t0. the un-
fortunate act. As soon as the remains were
discovered Coroner Richardson was called,
who assumed charge and will hold an inquest
this morning.

erson's remains, Lieutenant A. Mahony of
the 4th Regular Infantry, who had just ar
rived from his pest on the Plains, At Fort
Fettermau, fell on the Office floor. and when
assistance reached him he was found to be
dying, and in an instant more had expired.
The inanimate form was Immediately taken
to room, where an examination showed so
conclusively that the death resulted from ad-
vanced pulmonary consumption that an in
quest was deemed unnecessary, and the re-
mains were placed at the disposal of the
Army officers on this station. Lieutenant
