The CENTRAL VERMONT AND ERTE.-ln
note to the ST. Adams Messenger Governor
Smith thus summarily disposes of the ridic-
ulous and unfounded charge that the Cen
trail Vermont had become part and par
eel - of the Erie Railway Company
My attention has been called to an article
in the Messenger headed " Great Railroad
Consolidation, in which it is stated that
the Central Vermont Railroad has passed
into the hands and control of the Erie Rail-
way Company.
! take the earliest opportunity to say that
such a report is entirely without founda-
ton. No communication has ever passed
between this company and the Erie Railway
Company on the subject, nor has 1t ever
been entertained or mentioned in the
Board of Directors of this company.
The Messenger thus comments on the
Governors denial:
As nearly as we can ascertain, the New
York Times is the paper which first gave
publicity to the reported consolidation, and
did it with such particularly of statement
as to lead New York correspondents OF the
Boston papers to believe it to be true. But
Governor Smith ought to know as much
about it as a New York reporter, and we
think it only fair that the Times should
either publish his denial Though we do not
know as he asks it) or else = rise and ex-
plain. -

smoked, and chatted in the most uncon-

OF the girl he loved, and whose character he
blackened with his dying words. If this
was sanity, a mild form of insanity would
be preferable in such cases.
