state or community. These gentlemen
have had contract and other arrange
ments between them pertaining to the Har-
lem extension railroad, and while each
has endeavored to maintain the rights as
they believed of the parties whom they
severally represented, no very bad blood
hasHbeen epgendered. Mr.. Park has sim
ply been insisting upon the carrying out of
certain obligations, which he had a perfect
right to do, and the Central Vermont have
insisted that their view OF the case was also
correct. This apparent war of railroad
magnates has not assumed such proportions
as some of the dispatches to the Boston
press would have us believe. The rights
and privileges of each having been fully
discussed, Mr.. Park has thought best to
claim his own rights In the matter, and be-
cause Of failure TO make a satisfactory
adjustment of differences, MIR. Park and
those associated with him have taken for
NAL possession of the road, as we have
reason to think, without any unusual en-
bitterment Of feeling.
The elimination Of the several confer
ences has resulted in the placing of Mr.
Park in possession OF the Harlem Exten-
sion railroad. On Thursday afternoon
the formal transfer was made, and we
have been assured that nothing will be
left undone to any way effect the centen-
NAL travel Of next week.
| Hon. T. W. Park, the party mainly In
interest, accompanied by Hon. A. B. Gard
ner Of Bennington and Hon. Charles N.
Davenport, attorneys for the Union Trust
company OF New York, with David Crofut
of Arlington, sheriff of Bennington county,
arrived here on Thursday afternoon and
proceeded at once to the lands owned by
the Harlem Extension and there took for
NAL possession of the road in due form
from Rutland to Bennington, and delivered
the same to Messrs. Gardner ard Daven.

railroad war, Of which 50 much hes been

known and experienced railway manager
was appointed superintendent, and he take
the formal management and operation o.
the road to-day, Friday. The other ap
pointments will be made after meeting o.
the directors to be held at an early day.
The sensations that have been sfl)at II
reference to this change, have most of then
been entirely unfounded. 1t has been pure
ly business matter, with which the pub
lie have little to do. The running of tn
road in the interests of the peop
along the line and for the beu
eft of the public is OF course as
sumed by the high character an
experience of such men as MIR. Park AM
Mr.. White. who are too well known TO TIL
people Of Vermont to need any commsnda
ton. The causes which led to the chang
are not a! present matters of discussion
We are assured that arrangements bav
been made satisfactory to all parties in In
terest for the running of the trains durinl
the centennial week in accordance with tn
advertised programme. There will be n
blockade as some have feared, and the we
known experience of Mr.. White, togethe
with that of Messrs. Hobart and Burdett
are an assurance to the public that all wi
be well.
1t is gratifying fact that the difference
, have, in these troublous and nervous times
been SO satisfactorily adjusted by an ami
cable dissolution between the two cor
porations, and we believe that the road wi
be conducted in the interests of its patron
and to subserve and promote the welfar
and upbuilding of Rutland and the well b
ing of Vermont.
