Mr. w. W. Burnham of this city has been
IN New York for the past two weeks, making
an investigation in regard to tobogganing,
which is such popular winter sport in Can
ada and some places in this country. 1t has
been definitely decided by Mr.. Burnham and
other gentlemen to build slide in this city,
and work will begin as soon as site is de-
cided upon. Several places have been looked
at, and the most available will be selected.
In connection with the slide there will be
building, which will contain waiting rooms
Tor ladies and gentlemen, and there will
probably be a restaurant where hot coffee,
tea and other refreshments can be obtained.
Many Of the best people of the city are in
terested in having toboggan slide built,
and 1t will no doubt prove to be n success.

The proposition from the Maine Central
referred to has already been published 1t
seems proper to say here that for eight
months of the last year the Ogdensburg
road received the gross receipts of all bust
ness of al business, coming or going, over
the line of the road between Fabyan's and
SCOTS Mills, as the road ran its own
through engines and cars for passengers and
freight, but this year. and since June, the
road has practically stopped at Fabyan's,
and this corporation neither received the
gross receipts between Fabyan's and SCOTS
nor was it put to the expense of running
their trains there, so that this explains the
difference between the 100000 gross re-
ceipts President Sewall, of the Maine Cen
trail, understood this road would show with
its increased business, and the 1851, 900 it
does show.
After reading the report, after some dis
cussion it was decided to postpone action on
the proposition of the Maine Central for
two weeks

Starvation in a Great City.

Thirty seven Is the number of
deaths reported in London for the year
1885 due to starvation or privation.'
says The 81. James Gazette. 1T is
lamentable; and yet the wonder. per-
haps, is that in such city in such times
the return is so small The victims
were Of all ages and trades. and includ-
ed book-keepers, fish hawkers chimney
sweeps, infants arg. parish beadle.
1t is feared tnat the return is incom-
plete. Doubtless starvation or priva,
ton caused all these thirty seven
deaths but as certain is it that they
were responsible for great many
more. 1t is difficult to say when IA
death In the cellars of the East End is
not due more Or less to starvation.
