Montreal, July 4.--Judge Winches- ter reopened his court in this city to- day, to continue the investigation in- to the charges that United States en- gineers were given the preference over Canadians on the Grand Trunk Pacific survey. A number of prominent Can- adian civil engineers were subpoenaed, whose testimony was apparently for the purpose of showing that there were a sufficiently large number of proper- lv qualifitd engineers in Canada to fill the positions, which were given to engineers from States. Only two wit- were examined this morning, oR M. 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. Prof." McLeod, while not positive, ved a number of engineers whose names were men- tioned, were qualified to fill the posi- tions of divisional engineers. H. M. Mowat, K.C., was present and examined withesshs for the government side, and a good deal of questioning was done by Judge Winchester. J. R.

Been Negotiating. Special to the Whig. Toronto, July 4.--The startling an- nouncement was made by the mayor, this morning, that he was notified by the James Bay Railway company, that they \ filed plans expropriat- ing a right of way into the.city from the cast, and' also expropriating the burned area south of Front street, between York and Yonge streets. This is the land th¢ lease of which for a ion has been negotiat- ed for bet the city and the G. T.R. and C.P.R." i The mayor explained that the dc- tion of the James Bay Railway com- pany being a new company, under the railway act, gave this company the ownership in this land pending a settlement with the present holders. The action oi the company is believed to be a move in their fight with the C.P.R. and also an effort to control the situation so as to secure adequate consideration in the new' plans for a station. Meantime dealings between the city and the other companies are suspended and a conference will be held with D. D. Mann. A WOMAN'S DIRE PERIL. She Hung Over Open Chasm For An Hour. Morristown, N. J., July 4.-- Mrs. Charlotte Jacobs, Luxemberg, a min ing town near Wharton, went to the well, in the rear of her home, to draw a bucket of water. The well is about one hundred yards from the house. Returning along the path, the ground suddenly sank beneath her, and she found herself dropping into a great cavern. 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. She was ten feet from the surface of the ground. Bv hard work they managed to rescue her. She had no more than reached the surface when she fainted, and has been in a semi-hysteric state ever since. On examination this morning it was found that the ground had sunk into an old mine shaft, and that Mrs. Ja- cobs had hung over a cavern more than five hundred fect deep. KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Mr. Balfour Has No Intention of Resigning Office.

Lord Salisbury, the lord high chancellor, and Lord Ash- bourne, the lord chancellor of Ireland. arc the only two ministers who hold the same posts as they did then, * In spite of incessant attacks on the government in parliament during the pust week, and the difficulty of main- taining anything like normal majori- ties, there is no reason to believe that Premier Balfour has any present intention of tendering his resignation nor have the liberal leaders, at this moment, any real desire to attempt to force him to take this step.

At 830 o'clock the regiment came down from the armouries. It was, about 250 strong. The brass and bugle bands had the largest turnouts of the seat som, and played splendidly.
