SUB COMMITTEE ON YESTERDAY'S CONFERENCE Mayor Scott and Ald. Davidson Draw Up Statement for a Meeting Tonight--Is Non-Committal. Company Ready To Go On Immediately but if There Is Delay Offer May Be Withdrawn. A special meeting of the civic finance committee will be held this evening deal with the station and hotel project and receive the report of Mayor Scott and Ald. Davidson respecting yesterday's conference.

The city council will deal with the question tomorrow night. The mayor and Ald. Davidson could not agree on a definite report, so the matter is submitted without recommendation. lows and is addressed to council: SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT. undersigned were appointed delegates by resolution of council passed on the 7th instant, to conter Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr.

Charles M. Hays, the general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway company, on the question of a site for the proposed station and hotel to be erected in Ottawa by the railway company. "On the 22nd instant we met Mr. Hays and the premier in the latter's office and had a full discussion on the different proposed locations for station and hotel. Mr.

Hays had his architect, Mr. Gilbert, with him, and exhibited a ground plan showing the station facing Rideau street at right angles to the canal with its north-eastern corner nine feet four inches and its northwestern corner thirty-six feet from the street line; and the hotel on the southwest corner of Major's Hill park, with a frontage of one hundred and thirtyfive feet and a depth on its western side of two hundred and eighty-five feet. We beg to submit the plan which was handed to us. Mr. Hays stated that his company were prepared to commence work at once on the station and the hotel provided the city would grant the fixed assessment on both buildings which his company desired, but he would not consider any other site for either building than the locations as shown on the plan attached.

Mr. Hays was quite firm and stated this decision to be final and irrevocable. Sir Wilfrid Laurier expressed his approval of the location of both station- and. Hotel as indicated on the plan. "We deeply regret the decision of the Grand Trunk Railway company in this matter, and feel very strongly that some other site for the hotel should have been selected, so that the park might have remained undisturbed.

"We therefore lay these facts before you so that you may take such action as you think best. (Sgd.) "D'ARCY SCOTT. "JAS. DAVIDSON." MAYOR'S VIEW. Mayor Scott, having been seen by the newspaper men this morning, stated that he realized that the question of the hotel and station now before the council was by far the most serious one which council has yet had to deal with.

"The issue is very clearly defined," said 1 worship. "It is hotel and station on the plans suggested by the Grand Trunk or no hotel at all and an inferior station. I was much opposed to the park site for the hotel when I learned it was suggested some months ago, and I informed both the Grand Trunk and the prime minister that it was objectionable. Since then strong efforts have been made to induce the government and the Grand Trunk to agree on some other site for the hotel, and until yesterday it was hoped that some solution of the difficulty might have been arrived at; but now the matter is ended, and as I said before, we must either agree to the Grand Trunk's plans or give up our long cherished idea of the erection of a magnificent hotel and station in Ottawa. For my part I have decided that the interests of the city will be best served by securing the immediate construction of the hotel and station as proposed, and I am prepared to, advise the city council to give the Grand Trunk the fixed assessment agreed to.

"I hope the council will seriously con- GOT BIG DAMAGES Mrs. Warner Sent to Insane Asylum While She Was Sane. New York, Oct. after midnight this morning the Jury in the who sited Dr. Flavius and Dr.

O'LEARY TO RUN Will Oppose the Present Representatives of St. George's Ward. O'Leary today announced Horrendiard at for the alderman forthcoming in elec- St. tion. Mr.

O'Leary remained out of the field last year but will be in the fight to the finish this time. The Grand Trunk station and hotel are proposed to be in St. George ward and Mr. 0'- Leary is one of those who think that the people of the ward want the project of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the G. T.

R. to go ahead. Incidentally he inclines to the belief shared by many others that the attitude of Ald. Hastey and Ald. Kilt in relation to the matter and their opposition to the plan does not reflect the disinterested sentiment of the ward.

Mr. O'Leary's entry in the field is likely to make it hot for some people. WAS WRIGHT FARMER Thomas Wilson Died as He Was Preparing to Thresh. While preparing to thresh his grain Thomas Wilson. a well known farmer of the township of Wright, was seized with heart failure and dropped dead on his barn floor.

Wilson was a wealthy farmer and has lived in that vicinity for years. He was 45 years of age and leaves a wife and several children. Wilson had concluded his season's work and had set a threshing mill in his barn floor. Along with his wife and family he went to the barn and while making preparations to begin work he fell to the floor. Hig wife did not realize what had happened and when she came to her senses her husband was quite dead.

The deceased was a highly respected citizen and his wife and family have the sincere sympathy of the community. MUST KEEP FAST Dispensation for All Saints Day, Not on Thanksgiving. Next Sunday in all the Catholic churches of the diocese a papal dispensation allowing Catholics the use of flesh meat on Friday, November 1st. the feast of All Saints, will be read. Such dispensations are usually granted whenever Friday falls upon a feast day as, for instance, when the feast of the Epiphany occurs on that day of the week.

However, the announcement will also be made that Catholics have no right or pretext to use meat on the eve of All Saints, which this year happens to be selected as Thanksgiving day. It is a day of fast and abstinence with Catholics and must be strictly observed as such regardless of whatever secular holiday may fall upon that date. AN INJUNCTION To Restrain City's Payment of Investigation Costs. An injunction has been taken out by Mr. F.

QUEBEC BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION Deputation Waits upon Government. FINANCIAL NEEDS News Gathered in Parliamentary Circles Todyy. A deputation representing the Quebec Bridge company and other interests concerned in the completion of the structure which collapsed with such disastrous effects recently, waited today upon the prime minister and minister of finance to discuss the situation. The delegates were Hon. S.

N. Parent, president, and Mr. R. Audette, vicepresident of the company; Messrs. John Sharpies, J.

B. La Liberte, Gaspard Lemoine and M. Price, of Quebec, and H. A. Allan of Montreal.

The discussion took place in Sir Laurder's office. It is understood that not only the general policy of reconstruction, but the immediate financial needs of the company were considered. It is known that the government is committed to the completion of the bridge, and it is not unlikely that at the forthcoming session authority will be obtained from parliament for prosecution of the work as a government undertaking. At yesterday's cabinet council authority was given the minister of public works to have a new channel excavated at the western entrance to Toronto harbor. The channel is to be 400 feet wide, with a depth of 18 feet, and is estimated to cost $100,000.

Rodolphe Lemieux, Canada's special envoy to Japan; Mr. Joseph Pope, C.M.G., under secretary of state, and Mr. Hector Verret, private secretonight for Vancouver, by the Imperial the postmaster-general, leave Limited, en route to Tokie. They will sail from Vancouver on the Empress of China on Tuesday next.

Canal statistics for the year 1906 have just been issued by the department of railways and canals. They show a considerable increase of traffic over the previous year, especially at the "Soo," in both east and west traffic. Tables of comparison of the business of the past twenty years indicate a steady growth of water-borne freight, quite equal to the progress which has marked cano? traffic on the American side. It is said that the figures for the current year will show by far the largest increase on record. Mr.

John Charlton, is in the city and had an interview today with Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Mr. Charlton is said to be pressing his claims to a senatorship, but the indications are that Mr. Archy Campbell, M.P., has the inside track in the race for the red chamber. A meeting of the treasury board was held today and a council meeting will take place this afternoon.

ASKED TO RESIGN End of Dr. Workman's Case at Theological College. Montreal, Oct. board of governors of the Wesleyan Theological college has requested Rev. Dr.

G. C. Workman to resign the chair of old testament exegesis on the ground of doctrinal unsoundness. The decision of the board is summed up as follows: The doctrines relate to the holy scriptures, miracles, sin, the deity of Christ and the atonement. On these it is held in general that his position is Unitarjan, The board sat until two o'clock this morning when the decision was arrived at, there being nineteen members present including Rev.

Dr. Carman, general superintendent of the Methodist church in Canada, who presided. The vote on the resolution asking Prof. Workman to resign stood ten to seven. The enquiry into the matter has been going on for some months and some time ago the professor presented his views on the above subjects to the board and after due consideration the above is the result, ANOTHER SUGGESTED SITE.

A new site is being for the proposed home for consumptive incurables and the local society is conducting negotiations looking to its acquisition. The location proposed is at Elmbank, on the south side of the canal facing the exhibition grounds and between the monastery of the Preclous Blood and Mr. George Hay's restdence. 1908 Calendar Pads.

It Pays To Buy All Your Drug Store Goods from Allen and Cochrane. More people every day are coming to see the advantages of buying all their drug store goods from us. Our progressive modern way of selling all merchandige handled by us has shown people that we can do business on as small a margin of profit as any other merchant. They don't feel any longer that as druggists we charge more for our goods than anybody else. They know that nowhere can they buy better drugs or get better dispensary service and nowhere will they pay less and at same time get as much as we give.

They have come to know now--that they can buy their patent medicines from us at saving prices and that for toilet and sundry goods no store sells better goods or sells as good goods for less money. Because of this growing knowledge among the public our trade is daily becoming larger and we are as a consequence encouraged to continually strive to better our service -for your benefit.

(Special to the Evening Citizen.) Welland, Oct. her presence of mind and prompt action Miss Mabel Wheeling, a country school teacher, oil Monday night saved the fast Michigan Central express from almost certain derailment and probably averted a railway disaster. Miss Wheeling great was walking along the tracks from this town about nine o'clock at night when she a discovered a pile of iron on one of the rails on the westbound track. Taking in the situation at a glance she tried to lift the heavy pleces from the rails. For several minutes she tolled, knowing that the speedy exwas almost certain to arrive at press any minute.

However, her strength was not sufficient to even lift one end of the steel. Retaining her presence of mind she dashed back to the signal tower on the west side of the canal. Arriving there breathless and exhausted she told the signalman of the condition of the track. Without delay, as the train was almost due, the station was called up by telephone, and just as the express neared the semaphore the lights flashed the danger signal and the engine was brought to a stop. The iron was removed from the track by some of the railway officials, who went out from Welland station on a handcar.

It was stated that two rail spreaders and a fish plate were placed on the inside rail in such a manner as would surely have caused the engine to run into the ditch. Later Edward Palmer, aged 20, was arrested and pleaded guilty, but gave no explanation of why he wanted to wreck the train. MEET HERE IN OCT. Next Baptist Convention To Be in Ottawa. (Special to the Evening Citizen.) Woodstock, Oct.

Last year it was $496,075. The report of the publication board showed a profit of $2.392 in the book room and of $1,207.12 in the department of Standard Publishing company, The paid subscribers of the Canadian Baptist now number 6,524. At the afternoon session the annual report of the Grande Ligne board was received and was a highly satisfactory one, showing good progress in the work of French evangelization.

Resolutions were passed thanking the Baptists of the city and the citizens generally for the entertainment of the delegates. One man said his youth had been renewed at the Woodstock college where twenty-eight preachers slept in one big dormitory. He said it was an exhilarating spectacle to see grave, reverend, elderly ministers in strange garments holding pillow fights.

sider the very great responsibility which anyone who opposes the proposition will assume. If we agree with the Grand Trunk we will have over two million dollars spent in Ottawa within the next few months. We will have employment for hundreds of workmen and skilled mechanics of all kinds. We will have a magnificent hotel second to none on the continent, which will attract hundreds of wealthy American and English tourists to our city annually. They will come not merely for a day or two, but Ottawa being such an attractive city, visitors will come here for weeks who will spend large sums of money with our merchants.

The hotel will employ several hundred hands. Our butchers, our grocers, our market gardeners, our coal merchants, milk dealers, will all profit by this large establishment 1 in our midst. We will have a grand central station for all railways which will supply a longfelt want. The municipality will get an annual revenue of over $15,000 from property which today is practically unremunerative, and the only drawback to the accomplishment of all this is that a few hundred feet of a park will be occupied by a magnificent building instead of being covered by a few trees, beautiful though they be, which we see in the park today. "There is a wrong impression abroad that the hotel is going to intercept the view of the new government buildings to be erected on Mackenzie avenue.

Unless one would be in the park north of the proposed hotel site, the buildings would not be seen even if the hotel is not built, because today the view is almost entirely obscured by the trees in the park. We will still have our park, but instead of it being the size it is today, it will be twice as large by its extension northward to Nepean Point, which the government has promised will be done with the $100,000 which the Grand Trunk are to pay for the site. We need not fear that the hotel will detract from the beauties of the park to those who frequent it, as Sir Wilfrid Laurier in his wisdom has thoroughly safeguarded the interests of the public by placing the necessary restrictions in the order-in-council granting the site to the railway company so that in neither the erection of the building nor the maintenance of the hotel thereafter will it be detrimental to the beauties of the park. "I am requesting Mr. Hays to have his architect bring the plans to the finance committee meeting tonight and to the council meeting tomorrow night so that they will be thoroughly understood.

There are many people who have condemned the park site without a sufficient knowledge of the plans, and I am convinced that upon giving the matter careful study many supposed objections to the site will disappear. "It was thought that we might have left the hotel question in abeyance and got the Grand Trunk to go on with the station, but Mr. Hays, when spoken to yesterday, said that he would not take up one without the other. If the hotel was not to be built he would not build the station on the lines suggested, but would put up some less expensive, 100k building as well which, as the of station course, suggested. "Mr.

Hays said to me yesterday before leaving Ottawa that he sincerely hoped a favorable decision would be arrived at at once, because he said he was prepared to commence work the day after council decided in favor of granting a fixed assessment. He said he had full, Instructions from his board and the money was ready 10 go on with the work, but if there was delay the might change its mind and cancel his authority. In speaking of the work for the excavation and basement he said that satisfactory tenders for both station and hotel had been received and the contract would be let at once, provided the fixed assessment was granted. Mr. Hays hoped that they would be able to have the foundations constructed this year." CIANTS' CAUSEWAY Basaltic Columns Are Being Removed to Philadelphia.

Dublin, Oct. is much indignation throughout the North of Ireland at a statement that a portion of the world famed Giants' Causeway is about removed to America. The first consignment, weighing two hundred it is. stated, will be shipped to Philadelphia. These wonderful columns, though in private ownership, are regarded as a national possession.

Although a few of them might have to be assisted, he said that conditions were fast becoming normal.

prominent bankers called on Secretary Cortelyou at the sub-treasury to receive suggestions. A report was started that there was a run upon the Morton Trust company, an investigation shows it to be untrue.

ENGLISH OPINION. London, Oct. financial crisis in New York is attracting the greatest attention here. The financial editorial writers today are of the opinion that although the effect will be felt here, it is not likely to be felt to any great extent because British operators and investors of recent months, gradually have been freeing themselves from commitments and the influence of Wall street, consequently some sections of the stock exchange will not be much influenced by the crisis. The "Morning Post" believes that the financial troubles in America are accumulating too rapidly, for temporary palliatives to have much effect and be better for every one concerned that the crisis should be hastened instead of delayed.
