A NEW RAILROAD PRoJECT.-A meeting of
gentlemen interested in a new railroad project
which concerns Worcester was held in this city
on Saturday, at which were present gentlemen
connected with large business and manufacture
ing interests on the line of the proposed route.
The plan is 10 construct railroad from this
city in a southerly direction to connect with the
Rhode Island Mining railroad, terminating at
tide water, near Providence. The charter which
the legislature will be asked to grant provides
for the location and construction OF a road from
point in this city at or near the location Of the
Union passenger station on Grafton street, and
running thence through Millbury and Grafton,
and near the centre village in Grafton, Upton,
Milford, through or near the village OF Hope
dale, Bcllingham, Franklin, W1entham and At
tleboro.
Mr.. Chase of Valley Falls, r. l., presided at
the meeting, and MIR. L. II. Stone, an expo
rienced civil engineer, who has carefully exam
ined and surveyed the whole route, made a salts
factory report on the feasibility of the location,
giving detailed estimate of the cost of
construction. The most difficult grades
to be accomplished were found between Milford
and Worcester, where there were two or thee
short ones of fifty to seventy feet to a mile.
This, the most difficult half of the line, could
be constructed for about five hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, The Providence gentlemen,
Of whom there were several present, expressed
confidence in the success of the enterprise las did
also the leading manufacturers of UPTON and
other towns on the proposed route, who are
deeply interested in the project. Certainly
Worcester cannot be otherwise than interested
in movement which proposes TO put the city
in direct railroad connection with so many
houlshing manufacturing villages, at the same
time opening another avenue to tide water.

THE PRESIDENT, TIE TERRITORIES, AND CIVIL
SERVICE REFORM
The presidents announcement, yesterday, to
the territorial delegates who waited upon him,
that he had advised the civil service commission
to add new rule providing that the territorial
offices shall be filed by persons from the terrific
rics, gives great satisfaction to civil service re-
formers here. The rule is regarded as just, and
the fact that the president has made such a rec
ommendation within day or two shows that
he has not the slightest idea of relinquishing
the sch, me of the commission.
George William Curtis still remains here, hard
at work upon civil service reform, and it is said
he is not at all discouraged by the attacks in
congress upon the plan of the commission. He
expected fierce opposition, and so long as the
president stands by him, he is satisfied. 1t is
believed that considerable modification of the
rules first reported by the commission will be
made SAM WELLER.

AN AUDIENCE FILLING NEARLY every seat in
the building was present at the temperance meet
ing in Summer street chapel, last evening. Rev.
Mr. Ghcever presided and opened the meeting with
appropriate remarks. Nj. S. S. Foster followed
in an address that won the commendaton even
of those of his hearers who do not sympathizc
with his usual radical sentiments. His platform
was: Total abstinence for the individual and
prohibition for the community" After explain
ing his meaning as contained in this platform,
and comphmenting Governor Washhurn for the
manly language in his address, Mr.. Foster stated
that his belief was, that one of the most potent
Influences that could be brought TO bear in favor
of the Temperance reform would be the setting
apart of day to be observed with solemn fast
i'm and with fervent prayer for the Cause-not a
mere formal, halfway observance. but day in
which the united voice of the Christian churches
of the land should be raised in heartfelt prayer
for success.
Mr.. Cheever endorsed the suggestion of Mr..
Foster. Mr.. I. X. Earle spoke briefly, arguing
in favor of the eXerlion Of personal influence,
in the spirit of Christian love- for the reform of
the fallen. Mr.. NJ. Alny Aldrich also spoke
briefly The meeting closed with the usual SER
vices, after the adoption of the following:
"Resolved That in the Judgment of this meeting,
standing together We do, on the platform of pro-
hibitlon, there should soon be day appointed BY
this city for fasting and prayer tor the triumph of
