The threshers report the grain in the best possible condition for threshing, and are profiting by the same. Some land even went so good this year as to thresh thirty-six bush- els per acre of wheat. We think, how- ever, the average of this vicinity could be placed safely at twenty-eight bush- els per acre.

Wetaskiwin, Alta, Sept. 26.--(To the Editor): In the Whig of a week or #0 ago I saw that Dakota and Manitoba have been suffering severely from rain and snow. So far Alberta is ahead of the places named, though it has been wet for sometime, delaying harvest, there being many acres of oats still standing. Thousands of acres of grain is shocked but I have not heard of anyone in this vicinity, who has commenced stacking. On Mr. Dau- pe"s and Mr. Switzer's farms, nine miles east of here, oats were cut that are busy housing their vegetables, and from all quarters good crops of pota- toes are reported. From your Edmon- ton correspondent's letter I see that the town is to have a street car line before long. I hope so; it needs one, or at least something to carry the inhab- mud remains anything like it was during the Edmonton fair I pity the Edmontonites.

[CAR SHORTAGE CANADIAN RAILWAYS DO NOT SUFFER Shortage Always Indicates Pros- ' perity--Never Compelled to Re- fuse Freight in Canada--Other News From Metropolis. Montreal, Oct. 5.--Speaking on the question of car shortages, to-day, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy said he hoped the compffay would always find itself in the face of shortage as it indicated prosperity on the part of the coun- try. As a matter of fact, however, he said the Canadian roads had never found themselves in the position of United States lines and compelled to refuse large quantities of freight. Managers of transportation compan- ies doing business on the upper St. Lawrence and lake announce they are laying up a considerable portion of their fleets of barges and will operate only their steamers for the ance of the season. This is largely owing to the slow manner in which the western grain crop is coming forward. So far the shipments to Montreal have only reached some 300,000 bushels, where- as, by this time last year upwards of a million and a half bushels had been received. The wheat which has arrived has all been taken bv millers, littk or none being available for export. Williain Denton, Senior partner. of the ship-building firm of Swan & Hun- ter, Newcastle-on-Tyne, who is in the city, to-day received cable advicei that his firm had closed a contract with the Cunard line for the construction of what will be the largest vessel in the world. She will be 27,500 tons and 785 feet long, one hundred feet longer than the Deutschland. She will be of the turbine class. WOMAN A BORGIA ? Accused Of Killing Three With Arsenic. Paris, Oct. 5.--A mysterious poison- ing case occupies public attention at St. Clair, where a young widow, Mme. Gaitier, has been arrested on a charge of poisoning her husband, brother, and child. It is alleged that she first of all insured the lives of her rela- tives and then, by means of arsenic, poisoned them. Mme. Gaitier, who is only twenty- four years old bought from a veterin- ary surgeon on November 9th of last year some arsenic which she stated she wished to use for the purpose of poisoning rats. On November 11th, her husband died. Later on 'her broth- er went to live at her home, and she endeavored to buy more arsenic from the veterinary surgeon, but he refused to serve her. She, however, ohtained some from a local chemist. Ten days afterward her brother died, showing the same symptoms as her husband had Shown. A few days ago her boy, aged four vears, disappeared, and his body was found in a sewer near her house. The body was examined, with the result that death was found to be due to arsenical poisoning. Then the bodies of her husband and brother were ex- humed with a like result. Mme. Gaitier savs-that she is a vie tim of circumstances, but the towns- people aver otherwise, and have past- ed on the door of her house a huge placard bearing the word "Poisoner." The case # likelv to have sensational developménts, as several other persons in the town have recently died mvs. teriously. Anent A Tall Family. Few clergymen are so well known in London as Archdeacon Sinclair.
