Fast Time ON the Canada Atlantic.

When Sir Henry Tyler recently remarked
that most people would think ten hours be-
tween Toronto and Montreal fast enough, he
could hardly have known the impatient de-
sire expressed on all sides by business men to
bring the cities even closer together. East
lrairs are safe trains" has grown to be a
maxim with our railway men, and as extra
precautions, improved cars, engines aud
other service are placed upon them, they be-
come popular. While Sir Henry is thus
cautious, Mr.. d. g. Linsley, the manager of
the Canada Atlantic, proves the utility and
popularity OF fast trains, and in a tabular
statement recently published of relative speed
OF railways Canada actually takes the
lead upon this continent. The Canada
Atlantic does the distance between Coteau
and Ottawa, some seventy-eight and four
tenths miles, in one hour and thiriy-four
minutes, making three stops and giving an
average speed of fifty miles an hour. On
the schedule of time eleven miles between
Eastmaus Spring aud South Indian are done
at the rate of a mile a minute by the fast ex-
press. This latest of our railways appears TO
have been constructed specially with refer
ence to fas. service, aud when finished to it's
southern terminus near Rouses Point must
make revolution in the business between
Ottawa and New York. 1t is claimed fol
fast service that IL increases the desire for
travelling, and since the Canada Atlantic has
been starred and its competitor The Canadian
Pacific also increased its speed, the bushes,
between Ottawa and Montreal has been large
ly increased 80 far as passenger traffic is con
ceined.

The indictments against Mr.. A, o. Brain
erd are for the borrowing Of 500 from the
Trust Company while he was one of its di-
rectors.
The indictment against Herbert Braincrd
was based on the fact that in March, 1881, he
borrowed S20J Ct the Trust Company. He
was then a director, but resigned the office
hortly afterwards.
AS to the case Of the principal offender,
President Brancrd, 50 far as We are able to
learn, there is not even the shadow Of IN cx-
tenuatirg circumstance in his favor; and
we doubt if there is any genuine sympathy
for him anywhere.
1t is rum0red that Lawrence Branerds
defence will be, that the provisions of the
charter were abrogated by the general law.
But assuming that this is the fact, when
President Braincrd Issued the last edition OF
the rules and regulations of the Trust Com
pany to depositors about two years ago,
there is nothing in them to show that 1t
knew of, or recognized any modification OF
abrogation Of the provisions Of the Charter
by the act of 1878. II the restrictions and
safeguards provided in the charter tor The
benefit oi the depositors were thus removed

Receiver Rich's last statement lifts the vel
sufficiently from the Trust Company's tran
sactions to disclose that Sl5, 00u Of the fund
may be ''reckouei us abs llurcly lost" an
that there ure some S1S 900 of doublfu
assets. The estimate of S3l2 900 on tn,
Norwood property, we suppose may also b
treated as some Shat doubtful assets Tor III
present.
Aside from this statement Of Receive
Rich, the dcpcstOrs do not get much that
definite about the ways ia which about ont
half of the trust funds were actually uset
There are Just now many new and startlin
reports in circulation. One report, which
given to us as "well founded" says th,
while some 352 900 was loaned by The Tru
company Oh he Norwood property, muo
larger sum WAS drawn from the Norwoc
business, and It was supposed by the iuni'
partner of the concern that ii was returnt

N the United States is AIS; the average gross

Northern Pacific requires about $40, 900 900
gross receipts to meet it's fixed charges. The
population tributary to it is about 250,000, so
that the road must tax them $40 per capita,
