BosToN, Feb. 1.-The annual meeting Of
the stockholders Of the Western Railroad Cor
poraton was held at their Office yesterday after
noon, President Chester W. Chaplin presided.
The meeting was appointed for the purpose
of considering the proposition Of uniting with
the Boston and Worcester Railroad after a
long and spirited argument, pro and con, 1t
was
/" Rssoipod, That the committee of this Cor
poration, appointed Feb. II, 1868, n, upon

duties; and In the event Of the committee do
Gliding that no further action can he proftably
had, the directors Of this Corporation be au-
thorized 10 take such action upon the matter oi
connection with Boston as they deem cTpe-
dient.n
Mr.. Chandler said that the proposition fol
consolidation came from the Worcester road al
a time when action was pending before the
Legislature upon the application of the West
ern road, which was then discontinued.
Mr.. Geo. Warren made few remarks In ref
erenco TO tho importance Of a single route tC
Albany; after which this resolution was unani
mously adopted.
The statement of the directors was then &C
cepted, and the meeting thon dissolved.

Destruc tIon by Fire OF the Presidents
stabIe-sIx valuable Horses Burned. .

About Q O'Clock last night the stable on the
Presidents grounds. was discovered 10 be on
Gre in that part where the horses were stalled.
The flames spread so rapidly that neither Of
the animals, six in number, could be saved.
But the carriages, in another part Of the build
ing, were drawn out before they were injured.
The harnesses and saddles, some Of them new
and very valuable, were all lost, together with
other valuable property. Two Of the horses,
Ozark brown,) usually attached 10 the Presi.
dent aud Mrs. Lincoln's carriages, belonged 10
| tho President, and were valued at about one
thousand dollars two others (bays) were the
private property of Mr.. Nleolny, valued at sGOo.
Two carriage harnesses, blankets, &C., also
belonging to him, valued at one hundred and
fifty dollars, were also destroyed. The other
two horses (an iron grey and bay) were little
Tad Lincoln's ponies. He pEized them very
highly, especially the iron grey, because 1t
originally belonged to his brother Willie, who
died some two years since. The little fellow
wept bitterly when he learned that Willie's
iron grey, which he so much delighted to ride
on his brothers account, had perished in the
flames.
Everything in the building was totally de-
stroyed except the carriages before alluded TO-.
Mr.. Nlcolay's driver had three hundred dollars
in gold aud one hundred dollars in "green-
| backs" secrcted in the stable which Of course
was lost.
lie was in the stable feeding his horses If
cen minutes before the alarm was given, al
which moment he was eating his supper. HI
is sure he put all the lights out at the time h,
left the stable, and says he saw no one about.
We do not learn that any particular one i
suspected of setting the building on fire
although there is little doubt that 1t was tn
work Of an incendlary. The building, whicl
belonged to the Government, was a neat two
story brick edlfcc Of Gothic architecture, stu
ated about half way between the Executiy
: Mansion and the new Treasury building
, A wealthy farmer would have considered
an elegant country cottage.
We do not learn that 1t was insured. A
the property In the building belonged to tn
President and Mr.. Nlcolay, and, we are sorr
5 to add, was not insured.
The flremen were on hand in good season
but the flames spread through the building S
rapidly that there was little for them 10 do Q,
