There was a slight collision yesterday afternoon about 4.35 o'clock at the foot of Princess street, between the G.T'.R. suburban train coming into the city with a car of passengers and a K. & P. railway enging-w:th freight cars. The G.T.R. train was three-quarters of an hour late. - As it approached Princess street, the engineer saw the K. & P. train right ahead, and coming for it along 'the short piece of track, used in common by the two lines, but over which the G.T.R. has always the right of way. Evidently the flagman. should have gohe ahead of the G.T.R, and kept 4¢he line clear, but he didn't, not expecting a K. & P. to be coming out at the time. As soon as the suburban en- gineer saw the danger, he pulled up and had stopped just as the engine passed Princess street. The K. & P. engineer also pulled up, but not before the two cow catchers had collided. The G.T.R. train was sent back fully ten feet by the force of the collision, the baggage and passenger cars getting a severe joing. Those on the train received a Shaking; but no one was hurt. The K. & K. cow catoher was broken, also was some glass in the G.T.R. pas- senger car. v GIFTS FOR BISHOP-ELECT. * | of the diocese of Ontario; A Fine Pastoral Staff From Mon- , ~treal Laymen.

WATERWORKS SURPLUS For the Past Three Years--A Precedent Already Established --Claimed Unwise to Tax Vacant Lands. During the past three years a num- ber of water mains have been laid in streets where the revenue did not yield eight per cent. and for which debentures could not be issued. These mains have been charged against the surplus ac- count of the waterworks. The Russell street main laid last year cost. $2,100 and does not pay more than four and a half per cent. The recently construct- ed Victoria street main pays very little more revenue. Hence, it is claimed that when there arg precedents like the above cases, a few yr like. mains might be laid in parts of the city where it is impossible to 'get the eight per cent, fevenue required by law in order<to issue debentures, by charging the cost against the surplus which the water- works has for a rainy day. There are only a very limited number of such cases, and it is held that citizens in general are not so mean that they would refuse to allow this to be done when it would give water to people in the outskirts who <an't afford to pay big prices for the luxury of water, which at present is a luxury to Some, inas- much as they have to carry it distances. Regarding the proposal to try and lay watér mains, where necssary, on the local improvement plan of taxation, it is claimed that ik Kingston this can- fiot be done. Ottawa does it, but Ot- tawa is a fast growing cit. and vacant fots and outlying property are mnjore yaluable. In Ktngston, at present, out- fying vacant lots cannot be sold at any price. Some owners are paying tgxes for years, who would be glad to sell. This is proven by the number of vagant lots the city has to take over for baek faxes this year. To lay water mains past these lots would put a charge upon them perhaps two and three times as much as the tax bill is. There would be a big protest against the proposition of the waterwork's committee. CONGREGATION TRUSTFUL. Leave Selection of Rector Committee. Last evening a meeting of the con- gregation of St. George's cathedral was held to appoint a committee to place for choice in the appointment of rector, who shall, according to custom and his lordship's desire, also receive the high post of dean of 'the cathedral and dio- cese. Those privileged to a voice in these meetings of selection are parish- ioners, men and women alike. The lat- ter class were largely in the majority, Dean Farthing presided, said prayers, and thgnKed the congregation and the people of the city and the diocese for the great kindness he and his family had been shown within the two years of his ministry here. The meeting unanimously appointed the wardens (R. Vvaldron, F. Spangen- berg), the lay delegates (R. J. Carson, M. Sutherland, W. B. Dalton) with Edw. J. B. Pense and 8. C. McGill added. Their election, without instruc- tion to report names for congregation, leave the nominations entirely in their hands. The committee met after the meeting was dissolved and so far from 'there being few names in sight at least six names received preliminary considera- tion.

CONNELL ES AND CHARGED TO "iE THAT VACCINE I$ NOT : VARIOLOUS. = A ------ It is L Secured From Calves Inoculated With Cowpox-- Some Interesting Information Given. ; Bingetan, Dee. 3L(Te the Editor): our issue of 2nd inst, a writer os ing himself, "Anti- Compulsion," ascribes to me certain~statements which i take strong exception. Based on his istaken interpretation these stdtements, he threatens all! physicians who have beén vaccinating with the terrors of a section of the vaccination act. I can assure him that the physicians have no need to worry whatever as the vaccine that is used. for . vaccination purposes is lymph secuped from calves inoculated with cowspox; and isnot -varielons material, "yariolous (oy small-pox) material referred to in the section of the act quoted by 'writer mentioned, is infections material taken from the yocks of a smallpox patient and 1 need hardly say 'that no physician would ever consider the inoeulation of such material. The statements made Hy me before the meeting of council on Nove mber 3rd ult., were to the effect, that the reason that cow "pox vactine protected against the smallpox was that the COW-POX Virus had beén proven to he. a much rhodified, nonseontagiousform of small-pox, so that when one was vaccinated with cow-pox vaccine, .one thus developed an immunity ageinst true smallpox. This statement would be, 1 think, very clear. to a medical mind, but perhaps [ cail render it clearer to the non-medical mind by stating that ages ago the germs of cow-pox and small-pox had a common ancestor (as had man and the anthro- poid ape), but that one line of des- eendants beéme, modified by altatk- ing eattle, beeoming cow-pox, while another line beeame more virulent and acquired contagious properties by at- tacking aman; becoming small- POX. These "afféetions are thus related but yet are as widely separated as man and the higher apes. Let me add that it is practically impossible to directly inoculate suc- cessfully with small-pox virus. The matter of the principles underlying vaccination is entirely scientific and technical and further discussion would serve no good purpose. It is sufficient to know that recent successful vaccin- ation protects against small-pox.-- Yours very truly, W. T. CONNELL. » English, Canadian And American Citizens.
