authorities to-night stated they eu} forme the basis of the case which thoy will press against \u2018Prof\u2019 Hill when he ir brought isto court on Monday next.Mention of a third man in the care was made openlv to-night, and it is possible that ho will displace Wilirid Thibeault, the chauffeur, now being held with Hill.The third man, according to the police, made arrange ments with

found in a clump of woods yesterday, they are weaving a mystery down at Islip, Long Island, which may or may not be a murder of more #han passing interest, Evidence was discovered to-day which seems to indicate that the girl was shot.A « bullet found on the ground close to where the hody had lain was the first clue, and later, examination showed a bullet hole in the skull at the roof of the mouth.No wes was found near the bones, although trinkets and personal effects of the victim lay there undisturbed, These trinkets.it ix believed, make the ultimate identification of he girl a comparatively simple matter.A number of article of jewel- fery, including a gold watch with the initials \u201cA.L.,\u201d a gold bracelet, a wold neck chain with pearl pendant, & silver thimble, and a pair of mis sors were picked un near the .kelston, while several articles of foreign mala clothing.a hill for goods auld at n delicatessan store in Krebel, I'russia, end a folder of the Transatlantic Steamship Company found beneath it led to the belief that &+ voung woman had recently come to America from abroad.Judging by the condition of the skeleton the murder or suicide occur- ved aout a year ago.The victim, according to the Coroner, was of average height.about 24 years old and a blonde.Part of the hair has been fourd.An effort was made today to identity the girl as Miss May Smith, a nurse in the Manhattan State Hospital at lalip.Miss Smith, who har been missing since last spring, was believed to be the fianowe of Augustus Schwarts.who is now in jail at Riverhead.LI,

convenstl at the office of the Quelwe Harhor Commission, to discuss the recent fire and advise with the Commission in rd to the re construction of the destroyed properties that would safeguard them from the danger of fire.Nothing practical was done at the meeting, which adjourned when Messra.Logan and Debbage, from Montreal, who were appointed.by the underwriters to square up accounts, came upon the scene.AFTERNOON MEETING.In the afternoon the Quebec Harbor Commission arain convened under ve Presidency of Mr.J.B.Laliberte.The meeting.as usual, was held behind closed doors, consequently the press did not have the opportunity to be Present and report the proceedings, and on the adjournment were unahle to learn what took place, as nothing was oiven out.It is said.however, that the clearing away of the debris and retting to work immediately to rebuild wece the chiel topica of the business under consideration.It is also raid that the majority of the Commissioners desire to ses not only steel but two-storey buildings constructed to take the place of the wooden freight sheds destroved.This will.of course, entail considerable ex- nenditure, but there is no reason why Quebec should not be ahle to go to Ottawa for the money, as well ar the Harbor Commission of Montreal.Reniden.the Quebec Harhor Commission should take into consideration Transcontinental Railwav and its near completion.together with the Canadian Northern and other railroads that will bo runnine into Quebec in the near future, and make provision for tho exivencs.One of the Harbor Commimioners spoken to after the meeting adjourned and who relused to be interviewed, did not hesitate to say that plans had already heen made for a two- storey steel building at the hreak- water oxtangion.to take the place of the long low shed temporarily constructed to accommodate the Empresses of Britain and Ireland, and which un to the present time have heen used by the C.P.R.to store \u2018 One thie feat, the very .manifest, pub lic have thelr eve upon the future actions of the Quebec Harbor Commission.and the general ovinion is that the Commissioners should avail themselves of five present opportunity to demand money to build proper fireproof sheds and two-storer buildings similar to thoss at Montreal.Tt is possible that President Lali- Verte.accomnanied hv the members of the Commission, will go to Ottawa to interview Sir Wilfrid Laurier, ne soon as thay have reached a decision as to future action, which mav not be until thé insurance on the destroyed properties is paid by the underwriters.GRAIN STILL BURNING.The smouldering ruins, with the ex- caption of the grain that was stored in the Great Northern Elevator, are now ali out, through the contimued efforts of the ten streams of water worked by the firemen and their as aistants and the steamer Strathcoma's powerful pumpe.Yesterday afternoon it was sen that the grain burial under the elevator debrin was hard to get at, the water running tn waste, which caused the President of the Fire Committee, Alderman Dinan and Fire Chief Fitsbaok to call upon the Canadian Northern Quebec Railway management, to put a ganp of men on to remove the debrix from this grain and thus allow a chance for water to put out the fire.MR.CREAM'S LOSSES.Mr.R, F.Cream.had sbout $20,000 worth of por and beef in stores Nos.1, 2and 3, which have been entirely consumed.Speaking to a Chronicle reporter, Mr.Cream said the hulk of this pork and beef was sold and awaiting shipment.He had insurance, but not sufficient to cover the whole stock, and would also suffer from inability to fill hie orders before \u201cie close ol navigation.Yeaterda: he did his utmost te duplicate the goods and telegrap! to every centre in the United rel ke obtain pork without avail, all the packers à proached being completely sold out.ae em OCEAN ARRIVALS.October 19, 1909.at New York, from 88.Neoser, remen.88.Kaiser Wilhelm II., at New York from Bremen.\u2018 SS, Zedand,

SCOTCH WHISKY WHICH HAS retainad its reputation as a STANDARD FOR SO MANY YEARS ENS TIRELY ON MERIT and , quality.Caw, Young & Ca a a + unvarying Montrealthe ; a Chronicle representative : \u201c The traok is laid from the Cap Rouge site P- lot the Quebec bridge to the Charest Hiver, with the exception of some small ga a; ating four miles, which will be closed bythe 15th of November.This is fifty miles from TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILWAY PROGRESS The Eastern Section Making Excellent Progress \u2014Active Work All Along the Line.the National Transcontinental Railsatisfactory, and evi pleted and open to traffic by the end of December, 1911, or at the latest in July, 1912.This goes to show that the work on the Quebec terminals hus not been recommenced too soon, and the essential necessity that the steamship docks in this connection se well as the rebuilding of the Quebec bridge should be proceeded with without delay to meet the situation that the completion of the Transcontinental Railway will demand.According to the report of the Railway Cammissioners published at the end of the fiscal year, which covered the amount of construction from Ist of April, 1508, ta the 3lst of March, 1909, the expenditure during these 12 months on construction amounted to nearly $28,000,000, bringing the Total expenditure up to almost $53,000,000, which shows that the outlay for the last fiscal .year aws almost as great av the outlay during the previous three years.This is explained by the fact that the whole line from Moncton to Winnipeg was under construction, and that payments were made practically over ths whole eighteen hundrecl miles.Seven monthé ago there were 725 miles graded and 345 miles laid with rails.mileage in each case would have to be consideralily increased to bring the report down to the present time, for work has going on very tapidly during the past summer.Recent announcements show that the line has been, completed between Winnipeg and the point of departure of the Lake Buperior branch live, and that many carloads of graiu have already passed over it to Fort William.Each year will now bring rapidly nearer the time for the completion of the whole undertaking, which js expected to take place during 1911.The Commisdoners\u2019 report confirms previous disclosures as to the charac ter of the country traversed hy the eastern division.There are several stretches in which more or leas of the land is fit for agricultura! opertions, the mont extensive being the great clay belt between Lake Abitibi and Lake Nepigon, which containa at least ten million acres of good arable land within easy, reach of the railway line.This fertile and arable clay belt eox- tends eastward into Quebec for 5 cot siderable distance, and further eant there are amaller areas scattered along the main line through rge Provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick.Altogether, within a few vears, many important settlements will certainly come into existences, adding materially to the population of the Dominion and greatly increasing in wealth: A BRIEF REVIEW, K brief review of the work alang the whole line from Winnipeg to Moncton was contributed by Engineer Marpher- | son to the proceedings of the British | Association at Winnipeg a few deek« ago.By careful selection of the dif- | ferent mections of the route the dir- tance, estimated originally at 1,900 miles, has been reduced to 1,804 ; leas by 261 miles than the shortest distance over anv other combined railways between Winnipeg and Quebec will be 1.- 351 miles, 233 milex loan than by the Canadian Pacific Railway.Mr.Macvherson estimates that the latest type of engine will be able to haul grain on the Transcontinental Railway from Winnipog to Quebec at al gchtly less cost than it can be carried for over *the cheapest existing watér route, and a good deal cheaper than by the present combined rail and water routes between the same two points.Both graden and curves have been excep- ticnally easy hoth ways, but especially for the transportation eastward].This pelicy han made the cost of the eastern division greater than was at Grst intended, but there seems no res mon to doubt that time and experience will justify it.PROGRESS ON QUEBEC DIVISION TO DATE.The made on the division.ender the administration of Mr.A.E.Doucet, divisional en ineer, is very remarkable, and not only reflects credit upon the engineer in charge but his very font staff, together with the contractors.Mr.Daucet yesterday gave out the following facta to Quebec, and from this point 150 miles of the railway is in operation for construction rposes.From this point the track is being laid to the second croasing of the St.Maurice River, 188 miles from Quebec, and will be alto- | gether completed by the 28th of Devember.The br over the second crossing of the St.Maurice will be constructed during the coming winter and open to traffic next spring, which wili allow track laying to proceed.The grading In now in active construction for 25 miles west of Weymontachens, o Hudson Bay post on the upper St.Maurice River, which is the point where the road runs west to strike the north end of Lake Abittibi, where the
