Charles Pedder, aged II years, son of
Assistant Engineer Pedder of the fire de-
partlnent, very narrowly escaped being
killed, Tuesday morning, while working at
the carpet cleaning establishment. He was
putting on a belt from pulley to the driv-
ing wheel when his clothes were caught in
such manner that he was pulled under
the belt and as the speed was on he was
carried around several times, shouting
for help. His presence of mind prompted
him to keep close to the shaft and had he
not done this the results would have been
very serious. When taken from this
perilous place his left leg was in very
badly bruised condition, and over his
body serious bruises were seen. On each
leg were cuts from which the blood freely
flowed. He was taken Immediately to
his home and DR.. Friend called to dress
his painful wounds. which tho doctor pro-
nounced very serious. It was about ~. 80
o'clock when Journal man called at
Mr.. Pedder's home and found him suffer
ing very much. His garments were
stripped from him in the accident and
were literally torn to ''shrcds. Those who
saw the accident say the young man had
a very narrow escape from death.

ALL CHRISTIANS THREATENED

Salisbury is reported TO have made
a square back-down on the position
taken in his late speech wherein he
intimated, in very strong terms, that
the sultan of Turkey must speedily do
something or England would. To
wipe out the Turk would be TO give
Russia what she has waited for these
many long years. and rather than Rus
sia should cover the Suez canal and
hold the key IN India, England would
prefer to fight Russia at first hands.
Still things grow daily worse in
Turkey, if the reports are to be be
lieved. and the situation is becoming
critical If not alarming. This Is es
pecially true Of the position which the
Christian portion of the population now
occupies. The allied powers seem TO
be in earnest. They appear TO have
laid aside, temporarily. at least, the
passion for acquisition and the dream
of sISoils. This much is encouraging
and gratifying. But what is beyond?
Who Will draw the veil?
One thing is certain. the paramount
duty OF the present is TO rescue the
Christians in Turkey from their peril
Gus position. The allied powers will
have 10 effect this. The sultan is
manifestly powerlesS, even if he is will
ing. 10 render any practical assistance
in this direction. Indeed, his offers
of interpositi0n have seemed 10 add
fuel 10 the flame OF Moslem vindictive-
ness and brutality. This fact msy
find its explanation in the cable ad-
vices, published recently, to the effect
that the Turks blamed the sultan, aud
accused him Of having ordered and
started the very massacres which he
now feigns 70 condemn.
The greatest danger 10 the Christians
residing in the sultan's empire IS that
the MoSleins may seek 10 show their
resentment OF the threatened invasion

WILL 1T PAY.

It is q mooted question after all
whether the Nicaraguan canal would
prove profitable money investment.
An expert who has given the matter OF
the probable tonnage which would an
nually go through the canal, on basis
of the worlds present commerce, puts
IL at not more than 100000. The
Panama railway gets S4.36 per ton for
the transistmurh haul. These figures are
from pamphlet issued by Joseph MINI
mo, Jr., of New York. On the other
hand a Mr.. COlQuhoon, said TO be emf
nent authority on commercial ques-
tons, in a London address not long
since stated among other things that
although the canal will cost nearer
$50. COO 900 than 500. 100000 yet with
in two years after the completion Of the
work a traffic of 100000 tons per year
might be expected. and rate Of
shillings per ton would allow return
of per cent ON the investment. At
present, he said. England has the adj
vantage of some 200 miles over the
eastern United States in her commerce
with China and Japan. The Nicar
aqua canal would wipe out this diff
ference and place the United States
centers of industry within reach Of
500. OOO. 900 people with whom at pres
