Eastern Railroad Imuroven,s,,.


On the 9th of this month the Directors and
officers OF the Eastern railroad together with
the Directors and officers OF the P. s. & p.
railroad met in this city at the Falmouth Hotel
where the lease of the P. 8. & P. was ratified
and transferred to the Eastern road, and we
learn on Monday next several new and i'm
portant features will be made in the running
OF the trains from Boston to this city. Heretofore
the charge of these trains as conductors has
peen made from Boston to Portsmouth by the
conductors of heEastern road, fromP ortsmouth
to Portland by conductors of the p s. & p
On Monday next the Eastern road conductors
will take charge of their trains in Boston, run
ming through to Portland without change; the
same from Portland to Boston. The present
conductors of the P. s. & P. will run through
trains to Boston, and it Is presumed that all
the conductors of the P. S. & P. will be retain
ed on the road In the same capacity as now,
either on short trains or express And one
very important change that the Eastern road
makes for the benefit of the travelling public
Is their lightning express train leaving Boston
in the morning one hour after the half
past seven a. m. train and arriving in Portland
at the same hour of the early train, 1-2 past 70,
making the time four hours between Boston
and Portland; this gives the Southern and
Western travel that comes by boats or rail an
opportunity for breakfast and one hour more
to get to the depot, providing the boats en- the
Sound fromNew York are late That the intro
duction of this train will be appreciated by the
travelling public is already spoken of in bust
ness circles, and the great increase of popular
ity of the Eastern road is wholly duo to its
management The officers of the Eastern road
are always on the alert and ready to make any
and every change without regard to expense in
cars and running of trains that the public
demand.
We understand that the lightning express
train makes no stops between Ports
mouth and Kennebunk. 1t is expected that
this train will commence with the change next
Monday.

THE EXECUTION OF RULoFE.-Edward H.
Ruloff, convicted of the murder of Freder-
lex A. Merrck at Binghampton, N. Y, on the
18th of August last, was hanged in that city
ON Thursday. He died with the same firmness
that he has exhibited during his arrest; full
filing the promise made by his conduct ever
since the murder was committed that he would
die as he had lived. without whining. About
200 persons witnessed the execution. He de-
clined to say anything when placed on the
scaffold. At 11.35 the signal was given and he
was jerked up with tremendous force, but his
neck was not broken. The instant the body
settled down upon the rope the spectators
were terrified by seeing his right hand natu-
rally raised and thrust into the pocket of his
pantaIoOns. There was no other movement
except slight muscular contraction and alter
hanging Is minutes the heart ceased to beat.
His death was by strangulation.

Ftse 4, 6sorh.,,,

a fire broke out yesterday about half past
IL o'clock in the shed in the rear, and adjoin'
ing the main building of the Gorham House.
The upper story of the shed had been filled the
day previous with load of straw, and the fire
appeared to have taken in this straw, and, al
the start it made a very large fame, which
spread with great rapldty into all the out.
buildings and into the main house, which were
entirely destroyed, with nearly all the furni.
ture, &C.
This building has quite an interesting histo-
| ry. 1t was partially built in 1905 by Major
Farnham, and afterwards completed by Col.
james March, end occupied by him for many
years as hotel. 1t was place OF great re-
sort, and the "March House" obtained wide
celebrity from the genial manner OF the land
lord. 1t afterwards became the property and
was the private residence of Gen. James Irish,
who occupied it for many years. 1t then be-
came the property of Capt. TOppan Robbie, by
whom it was remodeled and again used as a
hotel. 1t has since had several owners-the
last owner and proprietor being Henry John
son.
Inc house and furniture were insured, CO.
equally in the Home Of New York, Etna and
Hartford offices, $500 each, at the agency of
Colonel II. A. Millett-$5OO0 on the house and
SZoOO on the furniture. Sparks and flying Gin
ders were distributed in great profusion all
over the village, and several buildings were on
hre at the same time, but the fire was extin-
guished without much damage with the ex-
ception Of an unoccupied building belonging
to Messrs. Hinckley & Co., which was dainag-
ed to the amount Of some $500, which is COW
cred by insurance.
The house formerly occupied by Judge Pierce,
at some points within twenty feet OF the hotel,
was saved by the timely efforts of the citizens
of the village.
The danger at one time seemed to be so i'm
minent that a dispatch was sent to the Chief
Engineer of this city for fire engine. The
request was met with great promptness on the
part Of Engineer Moody, who Immediately
started for Gorham with the steamer Machi
gonne and part of her company, over the Port
land s. Rochester railroad, the distance being
run in 10 minutes, and 40 minutes from the
time the dispatch was sent from Gorham the
company was on the ground, and after an hour
and half of labor completed the work SO Wig
orously begun by the home company and citi-
Gems.
The citizens furnished the fremen from this
city with generous collation., for which the
members express their sincere thanks After
an Interchange of cheers the firemen returned
to the city under the charge of engineer Drake,
in special train, who landed them here safely
at six o'clock.
Some slight accidents occurred during the
r..
iured by falling timber
Great credit is due the Gorham engine COM
pany Capt. Stephen Hinckley, for the indom-
liable exertions of the men in battling the fire.
Our Chief Engineer compliments them in the
highest terms for the energy they displayed,
and expresses great surprise that the fire was
not more disastrous, and that it was checked
at the point where it commenced.
