with cargo. The car or ship cradle will run on four lines of steel rails, each rail weighing about one hundred and ten pounds. No wood will be used; all bridges and culverts are to Dc built of hewn stone. At either term mus there will be two large docks, an outer one, 800 feet long by 800 feet wide, forming receiving basin, and an inner dock, 250 feet long by 800 feet wide. These docks will be faced with hewn stone and have water depth of sixty feet Tho inner basin will hc fitted with an adjustable plat form, operated by hydraulic pressure. for the purpose of raising and lower ing vessels in transit.
 A ship or steamer making tho ovcr- land passage is first floatcd into the in- ncr basin, and the platform supporting the car or ship cradle sunk to the re- quired depth. The ship is then noatod until she rests securely on the cradle. Hydraulic pressure is applied and the platform raised until the rails on which the cradle rest are on plane with those of the main line, when a power full engine is coupled on and away sails the ship past Beausejaur and Cumberland, over swamps and bOgs, through forests of spruce and pine, until after sailing over some seventeen miles of dry land she is launched into the waters Of the Bay Of Fundy or the Gulf of St. Lawrence, as the case may be. Vessels taking advantage or this short cut will save some hundreds of miles of dangerous passage around the rock bound coast of Nova Scotia. Es- pecially will it be a boon to the Glou- ccster fishermen bound to tho Labra. dor coast, tho Bay Chalcur or other points north and east.
 Mr. kctchum has some millions of English capital aft his back, and thc line will certainly be built and opcrat- cd always provided Mr. Frye and MT. Butterworth don't scoop the whole bus mess. Canada is young, but she is coming, and she will have tho first practical marine railway in the world.

street, in WalServille, formerly occupied
by the Rainbo saloon. general alarm
was sounded and the Alice fire department
responded. and was soon engaged in a hard
fight with the fire. The Rainbow saloon
was next to the corner of DAILY street, and
the corner was occupied by two story
frame building, in which were COOhey's
saloon and Chinese restaurant and barber
shop. Just south of the building
in which the FIRE broke out was
another unoccupied building, formerly
used as a barber shop, and south
of this was Hibernia hall, One-story frame
building. These four buildings all Joined
each other on the west side of Main street,
and all efforts 20 save them proved un-
svailing. In less than an hour after the
fire broke out the houses aud most of their
contents had gone up in smoke.
The two-story building on the corner
was owned by George Crawford. 1t was
worth not less than So, 600 and was insured
for $1,000. Dan Coohey kept saloon IN
it and was uninsured; his loss will be ST.
500. The loss on the Chinese restaurant
aud boarding house will be about $1,000;
also uninsured. The two adjoining vacant
buildings were the property of Charles
Baisdell and John Cameron. The loss on
them amounts 20 SO, 600 and is uninsured.
Hibenia hall was owned by John Sweeney
and he had no insurance; his loss will
amount to at least sl,5OO. The store of
Dennis DriscOll, directly across the street
east, was damaged 10 the extent of severA

forts to prevent its destruction. This loss
is covered by insurance. The store Of

and Daily, was also damaged to the extent
OF $500, which is covered by insurance
The total loss hE the FIRE is $40. 500. and the

NEW HAVEN, May 25.-The officials Of
the Merchants National bank are still reti-
cent and positively decline 10 give out the
names of the merchants who have benefit
ted by their teller's dishonest discounIing
practices. This action has created an i'm
preston that they they are shielding prOmi-
nent business men, who have been in col
lusion with Cashier Bradley and Teller
Palmer. The bank officials now admit
the loss will be fully $4,000 and may possi-
by eat up their entire surplus of 100000.
The feeling is spreading that the bank is
crippled worse than il cares TO
acknowledge. With the exception of
1900 worth of notes discounted
by John f. Bennett a hardware mer-
chant the public Is at sea
as to who has benefited by the crooked
work. AS a result of action by the United
STATES authorities Bassett was arrested
this afternoon on the charge of aiding and
abettiDg Palmer in the embezZlement of
the banks funds. Bail was fixed at S3,-
900, which was furnished. Ehen BasSett
returned to his store he found the sheriff In
waiting, who attached his store, stock and
real estate to the amount of $50 900, at the
instance of the bank. The marshal next
arrested the cashier and Teller Bradley
for false statements made to the comptrOl-
Ter of the currency.
