that the deed win be executed early next week.
The committee Of the creditors, together with the
trustees and the counsel are now actively engaged
in the examination and preparation OF the deed.
l had brief
CONVERSATION WITH MR. THURsToN
relative to the creditors meeting, the result OF
it and the state Of feeling in the community.
REPoRTER-What is your opinion, Mr. Thurston,
OF the creditors meetingP
Mr.. THURsToS-Well, things passed OF much
better than was expected
REP0RTER-Great confidence and large degree
OF unaminty prevailed.
Mr.. THuRsTos-Yes though In the early stages OF
the meeting there were manifestations OF spirit
among few OF the candidates TO use their efforts
TO defeat tie plans OF the committee and the pro.
posed trusteeship. There was an ingenious trap
laid by these parties which at once perceived, but
we spoiled their plans and they were evidently
disappointed at the overwhelming vote OF the meet
ing endorsing the action OF the committee ana
approving OF the names selected for trustees.
Observation-Disclosures will doubtless now go along
smoothly and satisfactorily
Mr.. THuRsToN-Yes, the committee and trustees
are IN harmony, and there is a generous spirit
manifested to do all that is possible TO ADJUST
affairs to the satisfaction OF all concerned. The
| feeling in the community Is decidedly better
| REpoRTEa-What do you think, Mr.. Thnrston, OF
| the passive policy manifested by Mr.. Robert II.
| Ives, OF the house OF Brown Ives9
Mr. TuURsroS-l read the HERALD report OF the
interview with Mr.. Ives and the result OF that IN

THE UOOSAC TUNNEL OPENED

n THE HoosAC TUNNEL OPENED
The great tunnel through the Hoo
sac Mountain, at North Adams,
Massachusetts, the greatest engin-
eering exploit of the Continent, was
opened through on Thanksgiving
day, Nosmber 9th. BY monstrous
blasts al nitro glycerine, the wall of
rock separating the headings of the
tunnel from opposite sides OF the
mountain, sixteen feet apart, were
connected by passage blown out,
three feet high and five feet wide,
through which parties passed from
one side to the other, and exchanged
congratulations.
The tunnel was first planned in
1925 for canal, but that project
was dropped and in 1854, Massachu-
sets granted aid to the work for q
railway, on the supposition that the
total cost would be within $1,000
coo, and the time required be some
1900 working days. The work was
begun in 1853, and with various in
terruptions has been prosecuted
since. The total length of the tun-
mel is 25,O3l feet, or nearly five
miles, width - feet, height 70 feet,
aud considerable time will be re-
quired to complete it 50 as to run
cars through. The total cost has
been about 100000. In the con-.
atruction, .i3 lives have been lost, ~
of them by premature explosions OF
nitro-glycerine, common powder,
giant powder and dualine.

THE FARMERs' CANDIDATE.
From the Moline Review.


1t is really amusing to watch that part
of the press in the Fifth Supreme District
which is opposed TO the nomination Of
Judge Craig. They call the convention
that nominated him congregation of wire
pullers and INSCRIPTIONS individuals This
may be true, but if the convention had
seen ft to name Judge Lawrence, Which
,cc are glad Il did not, it would have been
styled by these defeated ink users q model
meeting Of farmers Judge Craig has the
reputation Of being man Of high legal
attainments, and also man who is not
afraid to roll up his sleeves and do an hon
est day work on his Knox county farm.
Chief Justice Lawrence may have gone
deeper in the lore of Blackstone, but he
evidently does not possess that common
sense which Blackstone regards as lying
at the rudiments Of all law.
