statement rom Sir Charles Wilson,
President of the Grand Trunk, is pub
1ished in London, in which he says;
After thorough inspection can say
that the conditions are very good, GER
tainly better than expected. am sa0-
isfied that the general railway situation
Is becoming better daily. The revenue
statement for May is not encouraging,
but May this year contained one less
working day than last year. On the
main line In May gross increased Sl4, ooo'
but this was practically wiped out ny
increased expenditures. On she Chicago
division There was gross increase Oh
w, oOo, and this WAS all retained. On
the entire system the net increase for the
month is SAL There was deficit
OF $780, 600 in the balance sheet at the
end of the June half year.
At q stockholders meeting Of the So
hasticook & Moosehsnd Railroad Compa-
ny Saturday, z. D. Lancaster, Frank W.
Hovey, &. @. Bryant, T. M. Griffin and
A. j. Moore, were chosen directors by
"a unanimous vote, and frank W. Hovey
chosen secretary and treasurer for the
ensuing year. A report Of the oompa-
ny's condition was very favorable and the
work on the Harmony extension Is
nearly completed.
A new depot will soon be built at Milo
by the Bangor & Aroostook railroad.
According to official computation, there
were "a accidents on the railroads OF the
country in June. Of this number 40
were collisions, 40 derailments and s
other accidents, and the number of per-
sons killed was 30 and injured Sc.
An important question has arisen
among Grand Trunk employees as to what
effect the dismissals being made by the
general manager Of the road will have
upon the approximation as regards the
dismissed member. The fund has been
in existence more than so years, and to
realize any benefit the retiring age Is
fixed at So and the term Of service %
years. The employees want to5know what
provision will be made for men who, for
no fault of their own, may be dismissed
from the service when one or two years
only are wanting to complete their terms.
It is understood, however that the fund
is to be reorgan1zed. 1t has been pro-
d uouive Of comparatively little or no
benefit to members and its reorganization
is quite urgent.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Allen liner Sardinia Almost Fouls
the Warship Tartar.

Captain Z. Storford. commander Of FL.
Fl. S. Tartar has, through Vice-Admi-
raj Erskine, preferred charges against
Bouille. the pilot of the Allan Line
steamship Sandman. The Sandman
and the Tartar left Montreal about 4 a.
M. on Saturday, July IS. Captain Stop
ford claims that the Sandman came dan
gorously near striking the Tartar on the
starboard before the latter ship was un-
der Roadway.
From his explanation it would seem
that the SardiniRn, the bow of which
was pointed down stream, was cast away
from her moorings about the same time
as the Tartar WAS got under way. The
warship's bow, however, was pointed up
stream and she had consequently TO
swing her head slowly into the river with
the impulse of the current in order to get
around.
The Sandman, he states, was headed
directly for his vessel and coming on
under a head Of steam. The Tartar at
the moment was In such positlon as to
be powerless. Capt Stopford states that,
in his opinion, the Sardinian's way
shouldHhave been stopped.
The position of the two vessels when
nearest together was directly opposite
the G. P. r. elevators and a little below
the Victoria pier, where the Tartar was
tied up.
The Sandman is commanded by Cap
tain Eastaway. and q. Bouille, the pilot
very best on the river. The Tartar was
in charge Of Pilot j. Aroand. The mat
ter will come up before the harbor COM
missioners al Montreal today.

them. Monday they were reported as
doing niooly, though still confined to
