4 Railroad Meeting.

Portland, March TO- At the Ogdensburg r.
meeting to-day. the question Of uniting the whole
line under one company, was submitted 1t was
urged that though bonds of different links Of the
line are not negotiable in London, bonds of n con-
solidated line would sell there, and that joint
mortgage bond would make stronger the existing
bonds. The advantage to stockholders would be
that the road would be finished through to Mont
real and Swanton with increased receipts to secure
additional responsibilities. Proposed joint mort
gage would be eight millions, of which five mill
ions would be reserved in trustees hands to take
care of the Indebtedness. The balance to be used
in constructing a road through to Montreal and
equiping it. Mayor Richardson on behalf of the
city, requested time to consider, and the meeting
adjourned to to 10th.

WASHINGTON MATTERS.
The Arms Of the Sens

The Sergeant.at.Arms Of the Senate.
The vote Of the caucus Of republican Senators
to-day to ballot for a Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Senate ON Thursday have made matters rather
lively among the friends and opponents Of Col.
French, the present incumbent His most promi-
nent opponent is Mr.. Kennedy of Chautauqua
county, New York, who has been located here
for some time as claim agent.
The Secretary of the Senate.
There are no indications that the Senate will
proceed to an election of Secretary, as the pres.
ent incumbent, Hon. Geo. C. Gorham, is deserved.
ly popular.
An Improvement.
A Gould macerating machine, manufactured at
Gardiner, Me-, has been erected in the basement
of the Treasury building, to convert cancelled
bonds and national bank notes into material for
making paper, instead of burning them, a. has
heretofore been done. About three hundred
pounds Of this Cancelled material can be torn into
shreds and reduced to pulp in thirty minutes.
The New Finance Law.
The treasury officers state that the new finance
law continues to produce very considerable con-
traction. There is very appreciable increase in
customs receipts.
The special agent of the Post Office department
to whom was referred the allegations made against
Cen Burt, reports that he can ascertain NO foun-
dation for them. Persons indicated as having in
their possession information eliminating General
Burt say that they know nothing to his disadvsn-
tage.
The President has nominated w. l.. Burt to be
postmaster at Boston and Roland G. Usher to be
marshal for the district Of Mass.
Senator Ferry of Michigan President Of
the Senate, pro tenn.
A letter from the Vice President vscating the
chair of the Senate having been read, there WAS .
ballot for President pro tenn, which resulted as
follows Ferry of Michigan, 80; Thurman, %.
Mr.. Ferry on taking the chair made few brief
remarks and the business proceeded.
Gas Explosion.
The proceedings in the Senate were interrupted
at about $50 this afternoon, when Mr.. Merriman
was speaking, by heavy muified report, appsr-
emily proceeding form the basement OF the build
ing. After a moments dead silence people began
to leave the galleries hurredly and qaies . STAN
pede ensued. Rumors instantly rose that the ele-
vator had fallen but Senator Sargent came in
soon after and addressing the chair announced
that one of the boilers used in heating the build
ing had exploded and that no serious damage had
been done. This served to restore order and
tranquility, but 1t proved to be untrue, the fact
being that defect in gas pipe under the base
ment floor in the corridor leading to the elevator
had caused the explosion. The only injury was
the displacement of thing, which was forced rp
several inches just over the pipe.
