Shanley, chief engineer of the International railvay of New Bruns- wick, and Prof. McLeod, of McGill University. who is also secretary of the Canadian Society of Civil Engi- neers. Mr. Shanley was very. positive in hig evidence, claiming that every man noedbd for the survey could have been procured in Canada.

By accident she came in con- tact with the roots of a' big maple tree, which stood beside the path. and clung to them while the earth drop- ped away beneath her feet. Scrambling up, she managed to get her feet in among the roots, and for over an hour hung there, screaming and call ing for help, endeavoring to make some one hear. It was not until after nine-o'clock that her cries were heard, and then Jerry Langdon, and John, Date, two Hungarians, who were passing along the road, heard hvr cries, and came to the rescue.
