WISgiPEa, Aug. 10 The construction
OF the Canadian Pacific was completed
70 Calgary today. This finishes up
Langdon. Shepard d Co.'S large con-
tract Of GA miles, which extended from
Oak Lake III miles west of here to Cal
gary. The main track is now built 635
miles west of Winnipeg. The rapidity
with which the road was built il ac-
know!edgei by railroad men to be mar
yeI0us. Lanedon. Shepard d Co. re-
ceive for their work over $4,000, 600.
Tue total cost to the Canadian Pacific
from Oak Lake was over $4,000, 600
Mr.. Lingdou, in an interview this
morning abogt the work, said is had
been done rapidly, but with experience
ia cpnstru ition the firm now belieye II
could have been done much faster. All
the men employed by the firm aud all
the outfits used in the construction
have been taken over by the North
American Railway Contracting Com
pany, which, under the superintendent
OF James Ross, will carry on the work
to completion. Mr.. Langdon says the
firm has several small contracts in the
States to ~, To work on, one at Devils
Lake, Dakota, another in Wisconsin,
and third in another State. Speaking
Of the construction of the road west of
Calgary through the Rocky mountains,
Mr.. Langdon said he would stake his
professional reputation that no man
ever SAW such fine location for any
railroad through mountaiN range.
The grades are not high and the road
can be drilled through tho mountains
with gr.at facility. The line, he saws,
Ia located now about thirty nniles b.
yond the summit Of the mountains.

there will only be 2S0 miles Of road TO

PARIS, Oneida county, N. Y, Aug. g.
j ust now the hop fields are looking their
best, dark green vines reaching 70 the
tops Of the high poles, much resembling.
at Il distance, thick forest Of young
trees. Picking will commence about
the first Of September. Ths question
which il now agitating the hop-Rrowers
OF this and several adjoining counties
10, How much are We to get this year
for our hops Last year. because Of
q shortage OF the crop at home and
abroad, there was q Snug corner on
hops, the price reaching as high as
81 30 per pound in New York city, and
those who sold when the market was up
realized q small fortune for one sum
mer's crop. The number Of pounds to
be realized per acre varies all the way
from 700 to l5OO, and the cost of raising
is estimated at from 3 to IL cents per
pound. II oan therefore be readily seen
that the margin of profit was exceed
ingly large at the prices obtained by
some of the hop-Rrowers last year.
While some were lucky enough to sell
ut high price, there are others who
think they sold too early, getting from
60 to 60 cents per pound, and there are
tuOeo VINO Know tuoy waived TOO long,
hoping for 81 60. and have their hops
today, or have lately sold them at 20 and
25 cents per pound. To all appearances
the price Of new hops will be- less than
80 cents, and may not get above 40 cents
per pound. The price Of hops fiuctu-
ates very much men have been known
TO refuse 90 cents, and aftsrward soil for
cents per pound. There are num-
ber Of sorry farmers In this hop-Rrow-
ing country who have hops on hand,
who were actually offered from 81 70
3. 10 per pound for them, but refused
TO soil. and when the price commenced
TO tumble Il went down very rapidly.
What the aggregate crop Of this State
will be is mooted question, but that
Il will be larger than that Of last year
il pretty generally admitted. As hops
lose strength with age, new hops al
ways command q higher price in the
market, though short crop Of new Ii Q
good thing for those Who have many
old enes on hand. When hops are low
In price beer Ia purer, for whom they are
high brewers use less hops and more
unwholee0me substitutes.

New York and San Francisco, periodi-
cally racked him with the most excru.
ciating pains, and at times endangered
his life. Last night about IL O'Clock he
was seized with one of these attacks,
which in its nature and pain exceeded
any previous one. DIR. Saylor was sum
m0ned, who, upon viewing his patient,
saw that he was suffering from an un-
usually severe attack of neuralgia of the
stomach, and that Immediate means
must be adopted for his relief lest death
superyene. TIE doctor gave him elaas
Of brandy and administered q hypo-
dermic injection, and after working
with him for half an hour, succeeded In
alleviat:ng the pain aud securing sleep
70 his patient. Mrs. Sherwin, who was
attending Opon her husband with the
doctor, was left In charge Of the patient.
She says that Mr.. Sherwin rested quietly
After the doctor left, and appeared to be
In natural sleep. Lying down upon
the sofa about 2 O'Clock this morning
NE fell asleep, and did not awake again
IN 4 o'clock, when, ON going to her hus-
bands bedside, she found him dead "a
