A RAILROAD WAR.
Piscataquis and Bangor in Conflict

AUGUSTA, Feb. 6-This afternoon the Railroad
| Committee opened the hearing of numerous pc
titioners in Piseataquis county for charter for
railroad from Dexter for Dover, against which
Bangor appeared in force and for very valid
reasons 1t has been the most earnest and most
protracted of any hearing before the commit
tee and did not close, till midnight A. G. Le-
broke, Esq, of Foxcroft, and Hon. Lewis Bar
ker, of Bangor, appeared the petitioners and
Hons. A. G. Wakefield, w. G. Crosby and
Henry Hudson, all of Bangor, for the remon-
strants
The petitioners represented that the proposed
road would save the people of Pseataquis So. 80
ton on freight and fifty-four miles travel from
Foxcroft to Portland or Boston. This seems on
its face to be strong case-one that carries its
own conviction and it certainly is until Bangor
has a hearing. In 1867 the Piscataquis people
were anxious for a road. They naturally looked
to Bangor. They did not look in vain Meet
ings were held and Bangor leaders interested
their city in the case, which loaned its credit
fist for a smaller sum, but at length to an
amount that has nearly built the entire road
say 100000. 1t is not a paying investment,
yet iPiscataquis reaps whatever advantage it
may be. The remonstrants showed that there
was barely enough business to maske one road
pay the running expenses and interest of the
loan. They claim that the city of Bangor in
vested the money in gooe faith fully aware of
all the difficulties and that the completion of
this shorter road which was not thought of I'M
til the completion of the Dexter branch will
ruin the investment of the city. The represen-
tatives of the city now ask protection. Numer-
GUS witnesses were examined on each side, Ban
gor being largely interested is fully up to the
exigencies of the occasion. The committee ad-
journed without vote.
