The Intercolonial Railway of Canada is
getting ready for change OF gauge to
the narrow gauge. The workshops are
busy making the changes required in the
cars. The alteration in the gauge of the
road is expected to occupy two days. and
the transfer of the freight ears to their new
trucks will 60 on at the same time. The
main line will first he altered, and after
wards the branches to Windsor. Pictou
and Point du Chene. A day or two prior
to the alteration, every alternate spike
will be drawn and every alternate sleeper
will have a spike driven to the narrow
gauge, and force OF two men to the mile
will then be engaged in drawing the re-
naming spikes. driving the new ones and
moving the rail in. As rule only one
rail will be shifted. but there will be nu.
merous points where it will be necessary
/. to move both; for instance. on many
bridges and at same stations. This line
will be divided into sections ofabout three
miles each, on which length there will be
a foreman and his men. Immediately
after each section is narrowed the fore
man will pass over the road with mar
row gauge hand car to test the new gauge.

pleased his friends of the REPUBLICAN
Office by calling on them yesterday. He
still finds it comfortable to use the first

ing l was informed that fOotman had Just
come in who had met Pratt and Mclean
within 600 yards OF each other. Some half
d dozen or more of us started out to see
what had happened. Five or six miles out
we met Mclean, who said he had not seen
Pratt. While returning with us be began
following the track of u horse across to an
other road. Myself and another gentleman
accompanied him, not knowing but that We
we're following the track of one of our men.
We followed pretty rapidly until, when
about eight or nine miles from Van Buren,
we got sight of a man ahead. The writer
being in advance, put spurs to his horse
to see whether it was Pratt, and to get
away from the expected rencontre. Mclean
followed rapidly. and Immediately after
the writer passed Pratt (Ior it was he), a
pistol bal came wbizziDg by his head, and
he thought it best to get out Of the road.
On looking back saw two horsemen gong
rapidly through the woods and bushes
heard the disci arge of firearms, and saw the
smoke of the powder. Iu a short time all
WAS still and 1 ventured to return by the
road. What was my surprise to tiud that.
at the point or thereabOuts where the first
firing began, both Mclean and Pratt we're
dismounted and engaged in hand-to hand
struggle. l rode il hit up, and in y moment
or So Mclean seemed suddenly to recollect
that he had another pistol for he stepped
odCh uT6W ouc, duu uEtu dppdTtubN
right int o to the body of Pratt, who soon fell.
Then Mclean made motion as though to
draw knife. and l rode off aud found the
gentleman whom we left behiud. Presently Y
Mclean joined us, and finding that he had
dropped his DerriDger pistol, be got pistol
of one of us, an returned to Pratt to pick
up his. We were aetonished at hearing
another report OF a pistol. Mclean, when
he returned, said he found the cold scoun-
drei" sitting up, leaning on his elbow, and
he put pistol to his head and shot him.
He was not struck by pistol bill at all,
but was killed with knife. He lived long
enough to send to town for Mrs. Mclean to
go anu see nIm. Mr. nc Lean IeIt mere Win
his children, feeling that he had done nc
more than was right, and in this the com
munity were with him. Mrs. Mclean was
sent t an insane ylum. The above was
the whole cause of the Mountain Meadow
massacre.

The drama, as given last night, was pre-
pared by Mr.. Dickens himself, with the as
sistance of Wilkie Collins, and it became
popular in England through the acting of
Mr.. FechtAr in TIM principal character. The

most. He Is a strange villain, cold rs the

action throughou and that he played a
difficult part exceedingly well. He caught
the spirit of the nervous acton belonging to
the man he represented, and maintained the
half broken English OF the dialogue to the
end. 1t was creditable amateur per-
formance. Mr.. SOuby also gave q good
representation of Vendale. MIR. Beanham

True to Their Old Fame,

1t will be seen by notice in another col
umn that the gallant gentlemen of the Wash
iagton Artillery have not heard the call for
help in vain. 1t was the intention of this
battalion to give tonight an entertainment
for the purpose of raising funds to aid them
in their preparations for the observance of
the national centennial at Philadelphia, but
yesterday, when the cry for help came
from the hungry and homeless sufferers by
the late .rrible storm on the Texas coast.
all other idea was b,,nished save that of re-
spending promptly to the call of humanity.
Colonel Walton has called upon the bat
TALON to assemble this morning to take
action in this matter, and it is presumed
they will direct the entire receipts OF the
evenings entertainment to be forwarded to
the sufferers at Indianola and her sister
cities in distress.

The Meat Trade with Europe.

Meat is very dear in England and very
cheap in America. Gould some means Of
sending meat across the Atlantic without
lyss or without impairing it's condition be
devised, our exporters would make large
profit and the price of meat in England
would be reduced. Hitherto experiments 8
in the transportation of fresh meat
across the Atlantic have not met with
much success, but the invention of
the "ioeberg car" has rendered it
practicable to bring meat from Chicago to
New York in perfect condition. 1t is now
pro, osed to send an iceberg car to Texas. to
load 1t With meat and to bring it TO New
York. II the experiment succeeds it will
only be necessary to ship loaded iceberg
cars ON board ocean steamers TO supply
England with meat % an extent suflcient
to reduce the price to . figure that will en-
able the poorer classes to eat meat every
day.-Hitsoury Dispatch. : > =

The Tare.

A "Ruby" customer tackled dignified
looking member Of the Chamber of Com
merce, the other evening" as the member
came out from the meeting, and attempted
to gain some commercial information. 1t
was mellow evening, and the placid moon
sent down soft rays on the soft head of the
customer, as pillowed against an iron post
it rested.
"What's er Chamber been doinY'
Been fixing q tare on sugar"
"Suo such thing"
II ought to know"
"'Sno such thing. Can't have no tare on
sugar"
'You know nothing about sugar. Don't
bother me.'

on sugar; was Ialways touk it in mine.
Yer bloody old Chamber amt been fixing
for a tare on sugar. Take a drink, dea-
con; lit show you what tare is; Tam a
spoilng to go on one"
The deacon told the customer to come
around in the morning, when the atmos-
pbere was less mixed, and he passed on.
"The old buffer" said the customer.
Talking about going on tare with sugar.
He's drunk, and he'll 60 home and say
twas the sugar. I've been there; but the
old woman told me my breath was little
off from sugar. The Chamber fellows are
fixing for a tare on whisky, and know it.
What did the old chap say about being
inxedf It's impossible. to mix things like
whisky and sugar. say, Bob, can you
mix"
The customer disappeared behind the
green screen, as if to get the opinion of the
barkeeper, and he was seen no more until
he was set out on the sidewalk with the
beer kegs when shutting up time came. He
had strug led with commerce, and had
fallen. Yet he was a man, for when trying
to pull his coat off in an argument with the
barkeeper, he had said SO several times,
distinctly.
