Old Orchard Beach r. R.

By invitation of S. E. Spring, Esq, small
party went to Old Orchard on the LOS train
to make an initial trip over this new road.
This road runs from Old Orchard station to the
Saco river, distance of three and one half
miles, following the line of the beach and
seldom distant more than one hundred feet
from highwater mark, and sometimes coming
within forty or fifty feet of it, At the Saco
river, where pier is being built, boat is to
be put on which will connect with Biddeford
Pool. The road is of the usual gauge. although
the cars are smaller and more compact. with
seats running crosswise, and open sides, giving
very fine view of the beautiful scenery along
the beach. A small dummy engine, and one
or two ordinary passenger cars, though of
smaller build, aid in giving the little train a
very neat and tasty appearance. The road,
although it has been built within the past six
weeks is we'll ballasted and runs very smooth
ly. There are no intermediate stations, unless
indeed the Bay View House be considered
station, and the trip to Saco river takes not
more than twenty minutes TO half an hour.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Spring, who
seemed determined that all should enjoy them
selves, quite a large party from the various
hotels and seaside houses at Old Orchard got
on board and the trip was most thoroughly en-
joyed by ALL 1t certainly is we'll worth trip
from Portland to take run over the new road
and during the height of the summer season,
when Old Orchard is thronged, as it always is,
with guests and tourists, it will be a most
agreeable change from the ordinary routine of
seaside life to take trip to the Saco and back,
and the new road will undoubtedly be patron
lied as thoroughly as it certainly deserves to be-

1T isa charming account ofthe Elysee ball
dashed across the cable TO the New York
Herald. Six thousand persons were present
including all the officers ofthe Paris garrison,
and OF the various diplomatic corps in their
magnificent uniforms. Our lady readers will
be delighted to know that Madame Grevy,
wife of the president of the French Republic,
wore black satin covered with delicate white
lace and adorned with roses of various hues.
Mademoiselle Grevy looked very sweet in
white tulle and satin trimmed with
,tea roses. A distinguished American
girl, of rare beauty, attracted
much attention. She was attired as Diana
the Huntress, with II crescent of diamonds in
her hair, and actually she talked with the
President. That girl will like gravy the
balance of her life. Diana the Hunre,s is
suggestive Of Greece, you know.

THE Vanderbilt brothers are continually in
trouble. Cornelius j. has applied to the
courts to have William Ii. removed as trus-
tee in certain interests. The petition of Cor
nelius sets out that he and William are sole
surviving sons of the late Cornelius Wander
bil,; that the activities of business are essen
tial to his health and comfort and having
paid out the greater portion of what he has
received in the settlement of old debts, he has
not enough to properly carry on II business;
that by the trust deed, he is only allowed in
terest on money invested, and that securities
which represent it having now reached their
highest value and being overrated on account,
OF the connection of William Ii. with them
he maintains that they should be sold. and
he asks that one-haf Of the 100000 invest
ed be paid him. He states that his brother
is worth over SlOO,OOO,OOO and that his re-
.ceiving the money asked for would work no
injury to any one. The petition. fcTther
states and sets forth fully a letter written by
potieioho' w w Wuicu cbustS
the above facts and also the reply of the
latter denying the application, and on that
ground he appeals to the court. In the trust
deed, of which Edwin ID. Worcester Is trus-
tee, it gives to Cornelius during life the in
come of the following property: One thous-
and five hundred shares at 800 each of the
New York Central stock; 1000 shares at $500
each of the capital stock of the New York &
Harlem railroad; 100000 of and 5 per
cent. bonds of the Canada Southern railway
company due in 1908, and $4,000 of second
mortgage per cent. bonds of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern railroad com.
psny, due in 1908. There is also a clause
stating that on consent of William H. and
Cornelius Vanderbilt and the trustee the
trust may terminate and principal be paid to
