HEARING BEFORE THE RAILROAD COMMITTEE

HEARING BEFORE THE RAILROAD COMMITTEE.
Especial Dispatch by International Line.l
AUGUSTA, JAN 24-The hearing before the
Railroad Committee this afternoon was con-
tinuation of the Aroostook matter. Messrs
Powers and Madigan of Houlton appeared for
the southeastern portion of the county. These
gentlemen state that they were perfectly will
ing that the European and North American
Railroad Company or the timber land owners
should have the charter if it was only plainly
indicated that the road should go to Houlton.
MIR. Powers showed that the business and pop
ulation of Aroostook county was in the two
nrst ranges east of the line of the State. The
noulton parties were also willing that their OPP
ponents should have charter if the Houlton
people could have one. Briefly their
proposition is to give both parties charters or
compel one to 60 to Houlton and thence north
MT. IKE opposed the petitioners so far as it
granted them exclusive rights in that county.
he SAID there was not business enough for
one road, which they now had from Calais
lie said that the land of the State had been
given to build the European and North Amer
lean Railway; that nearly three-quarters of
million had been devoted to building road to
the "bloody Britishers" whom the owners at
tackled the other day. Mr.. Stickney favored
the petitioners, elicting nothing new. He was
followed by Mr.. Jewett, President of the E. &
N. A., who said he was interested and ready to
put his money in quite as much as Houl-
ton, but if any other charter was granted the
petitioners did not want one If it was practi-
cal to go to Houlton it would do so. Hon.
Noah Woods and Mr. Emery of the E. & N.
A. hallway also spoke, but ELECTED nothing
new Mr.. Madigan next replied for the Houl-
ton parties. He said that the petitioners had
promised great things ever since 1874 for Aroos-
look, and having got all the public lands and
money had at this date only laid out a road
through the corner OF remote township. The
petitioners owned nearly all the timber land
In Aroostook and asked charter that would
lock up the county until 1880. Mr.. Dudley,
Senator, made some very humorous remarks in
which he declared that Aroostook people were
weary of this charter quarrel and wanted
peace. He rather favored a general bill.
Thursday there will be a hearing on various
road charters connecting with the Portland &
Rochester railroad.
THE PRINTING COMMITTEE
have been in session during the afternoon but
have put the seal of secrecy upon their pro.
ceedings.
MEDICAL QUACKERY.
DR.. Snow of the House and Dr. Dana an.
peared before theJ judiciary Committee to advo-
cate the bill to prevent quackery in the prac-
tice of medicine. The bill will be printed. 1t
favors no school and only provides that certain
medical men shall examine applicants In the
usual branches and if they come up to certain
requirements they will be recorded as proper
practitioners. Those who are not artic.ed upon
the books of the State Council will be subject
to pains and penalties.
The influential railroad men from all parts of
the State are here in force.
