The bill authorizing the consolidation OF
railroad corporations, noy before the Senate.
provides that any two or more corporations OF
this State, whose railroads, wholly or partly
IN this State, cross, connect or approach each
other so that the traffic of one passes on ia
the other, may consolidate, under certain req
ulations, viz: The directors of the corpora.
tons must formally agree upon the terms.
the name OF the new corporation, the qualif
cations OF directors, number and value OF
shares, de-, and all other things necessary for
the proper conducting ofbusiness; and if the
shareholders OF the corporations shall agree
thereto, the proceedings shall be recorded in
the Office of the Secretary of State. and the
new corporation is then empowered to organ
ice The new corporation shall have all the
powers and privileges enjoyed by other rail
road corporations, and have the right to lease
other roads; and also be subject to all the le-
gal obligations resting upon either of them
and the rights of creditors of any of the COL
porations entering into the consolidation shall
not be impaired.
The bill also gives the right TO consolidate
with railroads wholly out OF the United States,
ia the same manner, on condition that such
consolidated corporation shall have its princi-
pal place Of business in this State and ma
jorify of the directors shall at all times be CT
liens of this State. The restraining clause in
the bill is as follows:
ProUided also, that nothing herein shall be
s1.construed as to prevent the legislature from
framing su3h general laws in relation to rail-
roads as may be necessary to prevent abuses.
ana as the public safety may require: nor
shall any corporation organized under the pro-
visions hereof be authorized to increase the
general aggregate of its rates for freight or fare
ABOVE the general rates of the Maine Central
railroad, or of the Portland and Kennebec rail
road, as existing and published January /.
io'4 without the consent of the legislature.
The subject matter of this bill has already
been commented upon to some extent bv the
people, and there is, in some quarters of tbe
State decided expression against granting
sach extended powers to corporations that
will tend to the creation or growth of an op-
pressivs monopoly, There are, we believe,
two strong parties on this question, in the
Legislature, and the subject will be pretty
thoroughly discussed, we believe, during the
primary stages Of the bill, and if passed the
rights of the people and the State will be jeal-
oQsly preserved.

NOTWITHSTANDING the allegation of State
Constable Jones Of Massachusetts that he
knows of no open bar in the Commonwealth.
he fayors a modification Of the prohibitory
law, and the joint special committee of the
Legislature has arrived by vote of nine to
one to the same conclusion. Some change in
the liquor law has become as regular fea-
ture OF legislative proceedings ia Massachu-
sets as the drawing of pay by members. IL
isto be hoped that the immense amount of
thought bestowed on the subject of temper
ance legislation viii at last result in something
that is at the same time just and effective.
In this State the Address of Governor Cham

the subject, and it would not be surprising if
some action were taken in the Legislature be-
fore the winter is over.

Is 1t worth while for such an object to weak

DEFALcATloN IN THE BOSTON CITY TREAS.
URER's OFFIcE.-A young man, recently re-
turned from California, who has been emnloy-
ed in the City Treasurer's Office in Boston is
discovered to be defaulter to the amount of
about SIC, 900 in gold The duty of paying in
terest on the city debt was entrusted to him,
and large amount of government coupons was
placed in his possession, on which he was in
the habit of obtaining gold. The police acct
dentally discovered that the clerk was the VIC
tim OF couple of noted gamblers, who were
iieecing him. Detectives We're put upon his
track, and he was followed to certain gambling
saloons, where he lost abont $1,000 in gold
On being arrested he admitted that he was
about to go to Edrope by the next days steam
er, and that he had $4,000 in gold his .3esi- n.
the City Hall. This statement has since been
found TO be correct. He further onfessed that
he had lost over $4,000 in four well-known
gambling saloons. The city will not lose any
thing by this operation, the City Treasurer be-
ing responsible for TIE frauds of the Treasury.
An attempt is to be N 1de to compel the gamb-
lers to disgorge, but it will not meet much sue
cess, probably.

They were found lying dead, side by side, on
the side Of a mountain, ten or eleven miles

probable that the children, during the three or
four days OF their wandering, endeavored by
this means to satisfy their hunger. The bodies,
which were thinly clad, were not mutilated.-
