A Railroad War.

Other states have had interesting rail-
road wars between rival interests in which
tracks have been torn up and put down by
force, and Vermont has lately come into
possession of like performances. The
struggle year or two ago in the northern
part of the state did not last as long rs the
contest in old Troy-if there ever was any
contest in the latter place-but it made
quite a stir at the time.
To balance this the extreme southern
part of the state is at it this time. The
new narrow gauge road, in length about
thirty miles from Brattleboro TO London
derry, is ready for its track and rolling
stock. The directors had IN arrangement
with the Connecticut Valley road by
which they had liberty to lay their track
for short distance into Brattleboro on
ground belonging to the Valley road.
Some weeks ago it was determined to
lease the narrow guage road, the BRAT
tleboro and Whitehall" and this was done
to the New London Northern, which road
is under control of the Central Vermont
1t was claimed on the part Of Mr.. Waite,
who runs the Connecticut Valley, that
there had been some understanding with
that road which the lease was in violation
of.
At any rate the Connecticut Valley road
claimed that the permission given to lay
track on its ground was not in the nature
of a transferable lease, and it moved its
track in such way as TO cover the ground
which the narrow guage road needed fol
its rails in order to get into Brattleboro.
The aggrieved narrow guage folks
sought remedy in legal proceedings and
Judge Barrett last week granted an in.
junction which forbids the Valley roat
from obstructing that part of its grounds
needed by the Brattleboro and Whitehall
road for its track.
Yesterday this injunction didn't seem tc
be working very effectually it being
claimed on the part Of the Valley roaC
that the time given in the injunction wa,
not enough for them to get their obstruc'
tions out of the way. Superintendent
Hobart has about Il hundred men al
Brattleboro and yesterday they were lay.
ing the narrow guage track and unloading
the engines Brattleboro and Whitehall fol
the new road.
Mr.. Waite who is the managing mar
for the Valley road is pretty persistent as
his late contest with the Esteys' in the
United States courts in the Burdettc, Estey
case, has shown; and he has his lawyer
f. j. Phelps, Esq, on the ground. The
chances now seem to be however in favor
of the narrow guage men carrying theil
point and that the controversy will be set
tied in the courts rather than by locating
tracks in new places and setting freight
cars on the track. 1t is not very likely
that Judge Barrett's injunction will be dis.
regarded-so that the broad guage and
narrow guage contest will be as bloodless
in railroading as it is in theology.

Iowa republicans will elect Blaine dele
gates this week to Chicago The contest
in Illinois between Blaine and Grant is
getting warm. Blaine is getting some
counties in Ohio away from Sherman,
Massachusetts republicans hold their
state convention at Worcester tomorrow.
Mr.. Edmunds appears to have a majority
of the delegates elected. Gen. Grant will
pick up few of the district delegates prob
ably.
The second district republican convcn-
ton last week at White River Junction
was presided over by Judge Poland. Col.
j. B. Mead and Hon. II. G. Belden were
elected delegates to Chicago; and Capt.
Z. Ely-Goddard and Hon A. f. Rankin,
alternates.
The elections to parliament in Great
Britain are concluded. The liberals have
about fifty majority over both conscrva.
tives and home rulers. They gained over
hundred seats and the victory is so over
whelming as t. astonish everybody ex
cept Mr.. Gladstone who predicted n grea
triumph.
Oregon has elected delegation to Gin
ciunati favorable to Tilden. Iowa ha
done the same thing, following in tn,
footsteps of Nebraska. On the other hant
the Louisiana convention declared it
preference for Hancock. The latter how
ever devoted most of its time to bowling
because some democratic senator's do no
at once vote to seat Spofford in Kellogg
place.
The Plomouth, Mass, Memorial says
Mr.. James Whitney, formerly of Boston
tenor singer of celebrity, some ten years
ago, eloped with Mrs. Willard Of Wor
cester. Mass, going to Chicago and othe
places, escaping the hands of justice, n
neither of the interested parties ha
means to prosecute. On Friday. March 6
he was tried at Orange, VT, on charg

and in default Of bail committed to tn
county Jail.
Whitaker, the colored cadet a. Yves
Point, was found fey days ago tied t
his bed one morning with his ears NUT
lated. He said three masked men came i
the night and did it. Others believed h
did it himself. An inquiry was begun an,
it proved that Whitaker could not hay
done it himself and it is now claimed h
got somebody to do it. One thing is sur
the trial has shown such social ostracisr
of Whitaker on the part of the rest of tn
cadets as shows them to be a set of cad
and if the course of instruction there is {
a kind naturally to produce such result
the sooner the democratic proposition t
abolish West Point that used to be dc
nounced, is adopted the cheaper and bette
it will be. Whitaker may have played
deep game but what chance he had t
grow to be decent man when he wa
shut away from all society does not AT
pear. Tits a very dirty revelation 70
West Point anyway.

formance has been seen by others. The
immediate result of these apparltlons was
that the wall on which they appeared be-
gan at once to work alleged miracles and
crowds flocked TO the scene of occurrence
Hotel and bar room keepers in the vicinity
are reaping substantial benefits (Which IN
itself may be called miracle)' and the
car drivers have spread abroad the belief
that it is necessary to pay three visits TO
the chapel to derive any benefit from it.

Two MEN DROWNED IN LAKE GEORGE.
ON Thursday afternoon last two French
men from a logging camp, while passing
in n small boat from Fourteen Mile island
in Lake George through the narrows,
were drowned by the capsizng of their
craft, which colided with large mass of
ice. The lake has been dragged but the
bodies have not been recovered.
Miss Mary NJ Edmunds, the daughter
Of the Vermont senator, in pleasant arti-
Gle on Venice in the independent, gives
this little home picture of Margaret of
Italy and her son: "Some little time ago
one of our friends was having private
interview with the queen, and the hope
being expressed that the prince was well
etiquette will not allow even that to be
put in the form of questionable was
desired to present himself. A few mo.
ments later childish voice outside the
door said, with droll dignity; 'S1u Majes
Ia? May come in? The queen answered,
in English Yes, my son. and in he
marched. He speaks English excelenty,
us the queen does also, and enjoys the
American 81. Nicholas and Wide Asgabe,
which she takes for him regularly,as much
as our own little people always do"
A letter to the Springfield RezuJlican.
from the second district convention in
this state says that Col. Mead, one of the
delegates to Chicago, was Grant man a
few months ago, but now he says that he
is fully convinced that Gen. Grants nom.
nation would imperil the success of the
party at the polls, and he is thoroug h
believer in Senator Edmunds' ability to
carry the election. He is not Grant
man, but an Edmunds man. Mr.. Belden,
the other delegate, is an anti.Graut man,
Il stronger anti Grant man than his substi-
tute, Mr.. Rankin, and an enthusiastic Ed.
munds man. The anti-Grant sentiment
says the letter, is growing stronger in the
southeastern part of the state, aud there
are a large number of leading men who
say that if Grant is nominated they will
probably vote for him, but it will be with
extreme reluctance; and the number of
men who say they do not want him to be
president again is very large.

The Kellogg-Sponord case has become
wearisome to II few of the more sensible
democratic scnators,and they have entered
II protest against re.opening it. Senators
Gordon, Butler, Lamar and Hampton are
said to nave announced that they would not
vote to unseat Kellogg under any condi-

opinion that if the Kellogg case is not
settled no cease in the Senate ever has
been.

A Prince on Sentry Duty.

In Bavaria @ quaint custom obtains, rendering it obligatory upon every Prince of the reigning House to perform at least one days active duty as 8 pri- vate soldier in the royal Army. On the 24th of last month Prince Alphonso, of Bavaria, first cousin to the musical King,
 completed his eighteenth year and attain ed his majority. Greatly to the enter tainment of the Munich people, which crowded the Mar lenplatz to contemplate his performance, he celebrated his birth day by doing duty as sentry in front of the principal guard-house of the capital. Although he had recelved his Lieuten- ants commission in the morning, he took up his post as simple sentinel, duly greatcoated and armed with sword bayonet and rife, which latter he shoul- dered ut the correct angle as he marched to and fro on his beat, or stood Cat ease" before his sentry-box, giving the
 prescribed salutes in all their subtle nuances to every officer that passed by. Being an unoommonly good-looking youth, he was gazed at with admiration and approval during his "spell" on guard by great numbers of Munich danes and damsels, who gave utterance to their feelings by plaudits when he was relieved from his post in the usual manner, and marched of to barracks, rife on shoulder, with the relief party
