..‘ON THE PRlNCE EDWARD.- Mr. Frank McEachern was a passeng- er by the Monday morning's train to Charlottetown where he goes to join the carferry steamer Prince Edward Island. Messrs. Michael Burke. Joseph ‘David. all of Georgetown also form part of the crew of the new steamer. -Mr.‘_McEachern has had considerable experience iii this line having been for many years one of the crewof the S. S. Stanley when engaged oii the wint- ter service-d:

. JCARGO COAL. - The schooner Alma L. Gertie. Captain Roach. is in port with sixty-five tons of nut ‘coal which has been disposed of to Dredge No. 9. This will in all probability be the last cargo of coal brought to Georgetown this winter. as there seems to be considerable difficulty in securing coal at the mines owing to the scarcity of labor there brought about by war conditions. The last cargo of coal for general distribution was brought over by Captain Peter Dalton of the schooner Helen Willard. it looks like a coal famine in George- town. this winter unless eome enter- prising meriner brings in another cargo-dz.

. JNEW JAIL. — The new jail at Georgetown which was begun about three months ago is now finished on die outside and presents quite an im- posing appearance although some- what overshadowed by the Court House in the rear of which it is built.

The new building is two stor- ies lii height. thirty-seven feet long by twenty-three feet wide

and is built of stone and concrete the former of which was obtained chieﬂy from the old Jail building. A large force of men are at work fitting up the interior. laying concrete floors in the cells and getting the building ready for plastering which is to be- gin next week. The upper story or ground ﬂoor is to be devoted to the accomodation of offenders under civil law. such as violation of_the Pro- hibition Act etc.. and contains be- sides the prisoners‘ wards the Jail kitchen, dining room. exercise hall and smoking room. The lower story for the reception of criminals wll-l be ﬁtted up in the most approved style one noticeable feature being the in- troductlon of steel cages for conﬁning the DNBOHBPB. which are so construct- ed as to render escape impossible. The heating will be done by not air and the sanitary arrangements will be of the most up-to-date type. Altogether the building is a credit to the cn:i- tractors and the Government. it will be ready for occupation about New Years. The picket fence or stock- ade which enclosed the old jail yard was torn down last week and the ma- toriai consisting wholly ol’ juniper dressed by hand in the "good old days" was disposed of by auction and found eager purchasers owing to the scarcity of kindling and ﬁrewood in and about Georgetown.—&
