ming work in earnest. Secretary Oh

A RAILROAD WAR IN VERMONT.
NEWPORT, VT, Oct. 22.-A pre-
liminary action in what bids fair to
be serious railroad war occurred at
North Troy, Vermont, on Sunday,
when a party of railroad men, head
ed by Col. Asa B. Foster, tore up
portion of the track of the Southeast
ern Railway, preventing for time
the passage of trains. Preliminary
to this move, and growing out of
difficulty in accounts between the
Passumsic and Southeastern rail-
ways, Colonel Foster was. arrested on
Friday at Newport and thrown into
prison, his friends subsequently bail
ing him out. This is probably the
prime cause of Sundays action. The
Central Vermont Railway is under
stood to be aiding Colonel Foster and
his party. 1t is also understood that
trains will be run as usual between
North Troy and Montreal, but the
connection between Boston and
Montreal is broken. superintendent
Folsom, of the Passumpsic road,
states that all trains over the portion
of the road now under their control
will be cancelled and the mails will
be carried by team between Newport
and North Troy, from whence the
Southeastern morning mail will
carry them through as usual. Travel
over this route must come to stand
still until a satisfactory settlement of
the difficulties between the two roads
is reached, which will probably con-
sumo some time.
THE READING (PA.) RIOTERS.
READING, Pa, October 22.-The
court assembled at 10 o'clock this
morning for the trial of thirty.seven
persons indicted for rioting on Mon
day, July %, the day on which the

crowd. At the opening of the court
District Attorney Rebar asked for
the withdrawal of a juror and the
discharge of the jury impaneled in
the above case on the ground of the
bias manifested by two of the jurors
since they had been selected and
sworn. The application was granted
and the case remanded for subse-
quent trial. Samuel Humphreys
and Edward Smith, who both plead
ed guilty to the burning of the Leb-
anon Valley bridge, were each SEN
fenced to an Imprisonment of five
years and to pay fine of 81, 900.
THE INDIAN TROUBLES.
CINCINNATI, OHIO, Oct. 21-Gen-
eral w. 7. Sherman, accompanied by
Colonel Poe, his chief of engineers,
passed through the city en- route for
Washington, fresh from the theatre
of the late Indian war. The General
is looking remarkably well. and in
conversation spoke of his trip having
been in the main a very pleasant
one, though at times he had to en-
dure hardships of travel on the from
tier to which he had been a stranger
for many years.
He regards the Indian troubles as
for the time, though
they will not be finally end.
