The Saluta OTTAWA, WEDNESDAY, JaAXN, 3, 1877 The disposal of the contract for the construction of that part of the Canada Pacific Railway, known as 4"Section 1)," which has become famous of late, appears to be attended with no little difficulty apd with circumstances of unusual and peculiar significance. It has been one of the strongest claims of the party now in power for pubiic sympathy and support that in their scheme of general reform a change in the method of letting public contracts would occupy a prominent place. Such contracts, we were told again and again, would be let solely with a view to the public interests, and no considerations of a personal or political uature would be permitted to influence the disposal of any public work. How the party hbave kept faith with the public in respect to this vital element of their loudly announced policy we can . see in the history of Section 15. Amoung other tenders sent in for the performance of this werk were those of A. P. Macâ€" poxaup, CHarLto® & Co., and Surrox and THowrso®, which were the three lowest, and several hundred thousands of dollars below those of other :contractors. The first contractor called on to furnish the required security and undertake the work was Mr. Macvoxaro ; but he having asâ€" certained that Mr. Aszrax FarewsLL, of oil speculation notoriety, had received favours from the Government in conâ€" nection with the Strroxâ€"Waro conâ€" tract, which entirely altered the characâ€" ter of the work, refused to enter into contract. That tender falling through, CrarLtro® & Co., were next called upon, and although this Association was known to be irresponsible, composed of men without either means or experience to prosecute a work of this kind, their offer was permitted to engage the altention of the Government for a space extending ov . two months. While this was pendâ€" The Tintes. 3{3}&0 influence of the {men composing the Association and that of their friends and backers was secured in the Jacques Cartier election (to the Hon. Mr. Laâ€" PLAMXE‘s advantage) but the election over, and the object of.the Gorernment attained, it became necessary to dispose of the temder of Crarurox & Co. ; and mow the maiter becomes still more _ interesting. Among those who tendered for the work was .Mr. Josern Wauirsusin, exâ€"M P. for Huron, whose tender was to conâ€" struct the section for the sum of $1,899,â€" 000. This gentleman, knowing that the tenders of other responsible contractors were lower than his own, determined to buy out one of the lowest tenders and so secure the contract. ;With this object in view, Crarurox & Co, who were completâ€" ing arrangements for the acceptance of the contract, were communicated with, Mr. WaitrzauzaD having previously bought out the controlling interest in the firm of Surrox & THowrsox, who stood next in order above Cuarurox & Co. Mr. Waitsâ€" nsaD‘s negotiations appear to have been suceessful, for on the 21st of December Mr. CHazcto® left Montreal in company with _ Mr. Wauirsuszao _ and _ his backer, Senator _ Macpoxauo, _ and on the same day he dispatched without the knowledge or consent of any of his partners, a letter withdrawing the tender of his firm. In the meantime the local Ministerial journal announced hat Surrox & Tsomrsox had lodged the &necessary security. _ We understand, moreover, that an Orderâ€"inâ€"Council has _ been recommenced by the Minister of Pub lic Works permitting the insertion of Mr. Waurrexzin‘s name in the tender of Surron & Tromrsox./ This Orderâ€"inâ€"Council is mot yet passed, but, as the Premicr is omnipotent in the Council, we presume it will be in due time. When we remember that Mr. Wurrzuap‘s own estimate of the value of the work was $1,899,000, and that he is now engaging to do it for $1,â€" 594,000, it is evident that there must be some reliance upon further favours of the Government to make the contract profit. able. Taking fall these circumstances togetherâ€"the fact that Surroy & Tuowurâ€" sox are: an irresponsible firm, that theirâ€" Sender was condemned by the Engineer of the temder of the firm of Surrox & Twowursow had been engaging the atten~ tion of the officers of the Government. The engineer who reported upon ‘it found the tender to be evidently the work of men who had no idea whatever of the patureof the work tendered for ; in one item, for instance, the tender offered to doâ€"work for $100,000 less than the evident actual cost as estimated by the engineer. It was recommended, and all but decided, that this tender was to be passed over ; but the offiter of the Department apâ€" parently forgot the political relation existing between Mr. WauirEnzan, Senator Macboxarn, and the Minister of Public Works, and the fact that these gentlemen, not Sutron &?THomrsox, were the actual tenderers for the contract. The Premier, who had been absent, from the capital enjoying his holidays among old friefds, returned, and forthwith Sutâ€" ros & Tmowrsox (i.e, Waitsu®ap, Macâ€" DONALD, Euuiort & Co.) were informed of the meceptance of their contract, and notified to deposit{their security. , With remarkable celerity, the very day after the notification was made, before it had more than time to barely reach the tenâ€" derers, before the latter [had possibly any time to deposit any security, and before any member of the firm reached Ottawa Ormios: 68 & 79 Ripeav StREET L.

J$ "«SEQT!O N he Po the Public Works Department, that sup porters of the Government have been per mitted to m@cauire the controi of thi mitt The calling of a locomotive engine driver is no doubt one of great responsiâ€" bility and personal danger. The occur rence of such appaling disasters as that at Ashtabula, and the frequent collisions, " run offs" and other accidents which take place, show that he not only carries the l:ives of the travelling public in the " holâ€" low of his hand,"‘ bat that in the discbarge c his duty he is at all times personally cxposed to accident and frightful dangers. l{e is, therefore, entitled to the kindest consideration, and the sympathy of all who think over the circumstances which sur round him must be freely accorded him. TIHEK ENGINE DRIYVERS STNIKE But if the public generally are considerate and kindly disposed towards the driver, be should by all the means in his power reciprocate the feeling. This, however, has clearly not been the casein the strike which took place on the Grand Trunk on Friday evening last. On the contrary, the drivers almost to a man appear to have been utterly indifferent to the comfort and ;:)' convenience of the unfortunate people | ar who then happened to be travelling by [ b: the line. Thestrike was organized by the th irrespounsible leade‘s of the Brotherhood1 :: of Engineers, men hundreds of miles away, and it was planned so as to entail | q\ the utmost inconvenience to travellers | ! and the greatest annoyance to the Comâ€" E pany. ‘There is documentary evidence in | ar thie bands of the _ authoritiee . to | m show that the drivers had received th instructions from the Chief of the Brotherâ€" l: hood to abandon their engines at 9 o‘clock | y on Friday evening. In compliance with | b« these instructions, every driver on the g disaffected sections of the road, from | ,, Montreal westward, and a portion of the | &, line eastward of Montreal, left his engine ) W at the time specified, first putting out hi e‘" fire. In doing this he was perfectly inâ€" | y different whether or not it would incomâ€" | q mode the possengers on his train, or | & delay the mails. Indeed, someâ€" of them 'll) appeared to have been possessed of the | ; spirit of malignity and mischief. One of | ; the most glaring instances was the case f of the driver of m special train from | % Toronto to Weston, which had on tboard ;.j } some 2(x) persous, maie and female, who | » were adorned in the costumes of the ballâ€" | . room. In this case the train was brought | t to a. standstill four miles outside of7= Toronto, midway betweenm stations, and | , the passengers, badly prepared for such | r an emergency, had to make their way | back _ as best they _ could through ‘il drifted snow, in a cold snap of weather, | j One can fairly imagine what must bave | ¢ been the distress and the sufferings of | I these hitherto hilarious votaries of the : ballâ€"room, but the driver who had obeâ€" | ; diently carried out his unlawful instrucâ€" tions was mercilessly indifferent to the | sufferings of the lightly clad people who : had to tramp their way back. Many of || the drivers, who could have leftetheir | engines at stations, appear to â€" have [ taken a malicious pleasure in driving } past beyond the switcaes, and so blocking | up the main line and leaving their passâ€" ‘ engers remote from the accommodations ) . which could be afforded by the waysule | hotels. ‘I hese cases of inconsiderate conâ€" || duct towards inoffensive â€" passengers, taken in connection with the deeds of | violence and intimidation and abuse of the property of the Company, have done much towards alienating from the strikers the sympathy which the public might naturally feel for them in their dispute with the Company, and leads to a more | oritical examination of their alleged grievâ€" | ances. If the case of the drivers was a good one, if there whs manifest injustice |towards them on the part of the Comâ€" | pany, the circumstances might go some way towards mitigating the censure which ; their conduct richly deserves. But it is ; quite certain} that in embarking on the . .gi_k_, they were very badly advised, and _| wrongfully precipitated a difficulty which , might have been avoided had better § counsels prevailed. The Company, in view of the dtzpresslqn of trade, the ; slackness of the carrying trade, and no i doubt the pnefi 1r'mknge of values, i had found it necessary to cut down work ing expenses. In this they only followed the : course fof events in the United States. § Against{the reductions which theCompany t ‘proposed to ‘make, the drivers objected, i chiefly on the ground, we belheve, that it . t. would be unfair aad unjuast to old servants a of the Company. The Manager of the f Road, Mr. Hiczksox, was in _ New: o York at the time the difficulty arose, s but he sent the assurance by letter % that on â€" his _ returu he _ would it make an examination of the whole case, r and that if any infustice could be pointed d. out to bim he would at once rectify the !| same. But, in the face of this assurance, ‘| the men abruptly terminated negotiaâ€" z tions, and the strike was organized and pr authorized by the head centre of the 1Cc Brotherhood.

Wull, who Imagined Him Ee}f on the Field of Blltl‘.) A serious case of malpractice, resulting in the death of a worthy citizen . of Chiâ€" cago, is reported from the Northern Hosâ€" pital for the Insane at Elgin. Onâ€" the lst Dec, Col. James S. Hull, aged 56 years, was removed from hiy residence in this city to the asylum at Elgin for treatment for an intermittent form of insanity, which was the result of an ipjury to the spinal'colu:nn, produced i . I To y LCC LGSLT at On Tuesday morning last Mr. Hull arose quite early, and between the hours of six and seven wis seized by one of the interâ€" mittent fits, during which he imaginod‘ himself once more on the field of battle, . and gave military orders in a yery ex¢ited manner. He passed from his room into that of an ad,oining patient, and thence into the bath room. His gesticulations were wild and his talk very loud. Going up to one of the bath tubs, he began to bandle the faucets in a way t.hn\::uned to bode mischief to the patient in the tub, Several of the patients became excited over his insane manifestations, and the services of the attendant, George Crane were called into requisition. He on:lerod Mr. Hull to retire to his own apartment, but no attention was paid to the commiand. Mr. Hull at this time was thoroughly and dangerously excited, and he siruck the attendant in the face, causing his nose to bleed quite pmfuneli. A scuffie ensued. The attendant lost his temper, and Mr. Hull made a vigorous resistance, but to no Yutpooo, as he was thrown to the floor. n the ntruggle his feet got caught under the bath tub, which is raised about six inches from the floor, and as he fell a fracture o. the right leg, just above the ankle joint, resulted. _ _ . The attendant rushed for Dr. Kilbourn, the medical director, who was in another part of the room. He hutriedly appeared, and with the aid of three or four of the attendants carried, by main force, the wounded man to his own room. Attempts were made to set the fractured limb, but all to no purpose, as the then thoroughly insane man fought desperately. (Dr. Kilbourn ordered him to be dosed with opium and whiskey, gave him a hypoderâ€" mic injection of morphine, and, m.n( that these remedies given in herpic quantities were powerless, pruoribodprn inhalation of chloroform. | The docto: remained with him until eight o‘clock, with the hon that by that time the patient might reduced| to such a condition of helplessness that he could make no opposition to the setting of the limb in what is known as the fracture box. At that hour the condition of the patient showed no relaxation. His Ba roxysms were as violent as ever, and as r. Kilbourn had to leave for Chicago, he gave instructions t:; the assistant doo%rs, Mesers. Dewey an %’o persevere in the treatment sruori Dr. Dewey gave him three dosesâ€"each one double the quantity prescribed by Dr. Kilbourn. At 11 o‘clock, about two hours afser the occurrence of the fracture, Colonel Hull sank into a profound stupor. The sympâ€" toms of morphine poisoning began to exhibit themselves. Restoratives were applied, but in vain,. The doomed man -Fumborod on, the vital functions gradually weakened, and at 10 o‘clock at night he breathed his last. â€" _ ‘This fatal result completely unnerved the young doctors in charge of the asylum. Dr. Kilbourn was in Chicago.~ They were afraid to telegraph the fatal news either to him or‘ to the relatives of Colonel Hull, whose address could have been readily ascertained by an mol?oouon of the books of the institution. For hours the yOung physicians suffered intenge torture, an finally it was determined that one of ‘ them should take the train the next _ (Wednesday) morning, come to Chicago] and impart the news to Dr. Kilbourn. This programme was rigidly adhered to. Dr. Kilbourn at noon on that day, 14 hours after the fatal occurâ€" rence, called at the office of Col. Hull‘s son. who is a lawyer at 157 Fifth avenue , and broke the news. The Wednesday afternoon train to Elgin took out to the asylum the two doctors, several members of Col. Hull‘s family and the law partner of his son. An investigation was then and there comâ€" f-onood, '::lmfi in the mnaoftlho oregoin ts. in answer to gon. §# &Iut caused Col. Hull‘s d-g‘:"-’ r.

THE WERECK OF THE TRANSFfouT »TEAMER ST. LAWRENCE. The Cape ppers of Nov. 15 publish long accounts of the wreck of the transâ€" Eort steamer St. Lawrence with the 2nd attalion of the 3rd Buffs on board, and the 4rgus issues a coloured map showing the spot where the disaster cccurred. The following details are given : The St. Lawrence, 2,200 tons gross ton: ; nage, commanded by Captain . Hyde, RN.R., left Dublin on the 4th of C()‘fiobor last, with the following troops, Colonel Pearson in command : 2nd battalion 3rd | : Buffs ; 14 officers, four ladies, three childâ€" ren, 462 nonâ€"commissioned officers and men, 39 women, 73 children ; attached from other regiments, one officer (army hospital corps), 10 nonâ€"commissioned officers and men, five women and nine children. The followin& is & list of the officers of the 3rd Buffs who were on voard the St Lawrence: Ltâ€"Col C K Pearâ€" son, Major M Parnell, Csptains H D Hamilton, A W H Gilston, R H Hickson, | . W H Wyld ; Lieutenants R J H Moody, C H Gordon : Sub Lieutenants, D F Lewis, P Green, H R Knifht, Adjutantâ€"Lieuten ant A C Jackson, Medical Officer Surgeon, Major H Walker. Quartermaster: W G F Morgan. The latter officer, served here, we believe, in the 96th: regiment. Liouâ€" tenant of Orderlies, Army Hospital Corps; J Sylvester, was also a passenger by the steamer. ° The principal non commissionâ€" ed officers belonging to the battalion fin- sent at the wreck areâ€"Sergeant Major P Murphy, Army Schoolmaster J Eocles, Bandmaster R Sweeney, Quartermaster |â€" _ Sergeat J Groves, Sergeant Instructor of musketery T Worboys, Paymaster Serâ€" geant J W Farley, Orderly Room Clerk Sergeaut S Creeland, Drum Major P Gleeâ€" son, Band Sergeant J Fop, Armourer | _ Sergeant W Wernham, Colour Sergeants ; n l Flaure, J Meredith, R _ Kerr, H Bullen, a Mulholland, Canteen So;%:nt, J F Downing. The St. Lawrence belongs E to London, and is owned by Messr . Tem: perley, Carter, and Dafk. Her length is 303 feet ; depth 26 feet 6 inchos ; ‘and breadth, 35 ?eet 6 inches. She is 200 I horse power, and ‘was built at Sunderâ€" land in January, 1873, by Mr. James | Laing. She arrived at St. Vincent on the | ie 17th October, and after leaving there no land appears to have been sighted until the time of the wreck. The voyage, on | § the whole, was a pleasant one.

Shelton, who was on watch : |at the time, came and reported that ‘\ land was in sight. Captain Hyde ‘ | asked bim to return lndp report the : | southernmost bearing of the land. In a | few minutes he returned, saying the land was not so far off as he at first thought, » | and he had hauled the ship off. He also | * " | reported having seen a light on the shore, | { which must have been a rising star. The | . | captain followed the chief officer on deck | | immediately, when the lookâ€"out reported | / 8 | something ahead, which be appears from t | all accounts to have thought were boats, | ( ‘ | and a few seconds after this the vesse!l : | struck, at 3:30 a.m. The engines were at d : | once,reversed, but before the steamer lost * | way she got fixed on the reef and remainâ€" 3 |ed fast. The captain at once sent the |! | quartermaster to sound all round. He ‘ | reported d«ém: except abreast of the forecastle, where there was only three 1 | fathoms. The captain then ordered the * | carpenter to sound the forehold, and went | |with him, and 11 inches of water was| 8 | reported. ‘ This was a very few minutes f |after the vessel striking. On sounding ® | again, found the watéer was increasing. | f The cnpdt.:'ln t.ll::n went t:nd the colonel commanding the troops, mflonod 3 |\ that the steamer was ashore. Everyâ€" ® |\one was immediately ‘ordered to their » | quarters, while the crew cleared awsy ® | the boats. In less than half an hour the Y | women and children commenced to em: ® | bark, the colonel‘s wife getting into the ‘â€" | boat first, and â€"soâ€" on according to rank @ | A.med sentries were posted at the gangâ€" \! | way, and the most perfect discipline was | observyed on board. After the women 0 |and children had been safely landed ‘® | without any confusion, the troops fell in m | fully equipped with their muskets and Y | accoutrements, ‘and in marching ‘Order. © | As the boats came alongside: they were filled with soldi¢rs, and in an incredibly 4 | short space of time every soul on beard 3â€" \had been‘ landed. without difficulty.
