Correspondence of tue CommercIall


NEW CASTLE. Aug. IA.
The Gazette of Tuesday criticizes our position
in regard to the late, SO called suicide case,
which we believe to be no suicide at all, and
said we should "explain how man weighing
apparently $50 pounds, should be hung to tree
by another man, or even two men," The Ga
zette further states "that the man assuredy
came to his death by hanging" In regard to
this we have only to say, that II is not impoasi-
BILE nor irrational to suppose, that two strong
men could easily surprise and over-power q
drunken one, then strangle him and afterwards
to arrest suspicion, hang him to 4 tree with his
own handkerchief. As to the statement that
the dead man was lodged in jail some two weeks
ago we know nothing, but il the writer doubts
the verracity OF our story in regard to the man
having been seen with the gold, as we described
it. We have witnesses who are willing to testify
to the facts, as we stated them, and who say
the descriptoal OF the dead man tallies exactly
with the one whom they saw with 30 large an
amount Of money.
The "cribs" for Messrs. Morris Tasker Il Co.'s
wharves to be built at their mills will be ready
for transportation on Friday when it is expect
ed and we sincerely hope they will be placed
in position, without any Of the mishaps which
have befallen the one used in the construction
Of the Government pier.

The storm hung over us all day yesterday, the
wind blowing brskly from the Northeast and
in consequence everything wears gloomy as
pect, even the dogs for once ceased their noctur-
nal serenade. and the town clock seemed tinged
with the general sullenness. The flood appears
not to have done any damage directly around

Dir Stirling has run with one Of his great outside
cylinder express engines and train OF sixteen
carriages at seventy miles an hour on the Great
Northern, on level or with slightly falling
gradient; aud we know that the Yarmouth ex-
press on the Great Eastern sometimes has
reached speed OF sixty-four miles an hour down
the Brentwood bank. On two occasions, some
years ago in Ireland, we ran fourteen miles
in sixteen minutes with a powerful engine
and train of but two carriages. Much
Of the run was done at over sixty-tve miles per
hour On the Boston and Albany road, United
States, the 81 miles between Springfield and
Worcester were run by an engine with l6 inches
cylinder, ~ inches stroke and 6l5 feet driving
wheel, in nifty eight minutes. Much of the run
was done at nearly seventy miles an hour. On
tirzt-class line there can be no question, there
fore. but that speed Of sixty-tive to seventy
miles All hour may be available with safety. We
believe that il would be possible to lay peTma-
nent way 70 we'll, and to maintain it in suoh ex-
ceent order that trains might travel on it with
perfect safety at 100 miles an hour. Miles upon
miles OF such track are now to be found ON most
Of our great main lines, but it IL not to be dis
puted that nowhere can 100 consecutive miles OF
permanent way in perfection be found and as
Il chain is no stronger than its weakest link, 80 a
lew hundred yards of lad track would spoil for
the purpose Of travelling at 100 miles ali hour a
whole line
