Mr.. EDIToR:-An article in the PRESS of
Saturday under the caption of Eastern Rail-
road" taken FROM a Boston paper is very in
correct. 1t Is not true that matters were
progressing favorably when by the appoint
ment of a second committee of the Salem city
council' the subject attracted the attention of
other places. Not a step had been taken in
Salem; not person had mentioned the sub
iect until Councilman Brown moved for the
appointment of committee to confer with
the railroad company. The city council
and the people generally were taken by sur
prise, for the matter had not before been called
to their attention. The committee was APP
pointed. 1t was no second" committee, as no
other had been appointed. The attention of
all the "other places had been attracted"
before Salem smoved in the matter and none
of them have moved since unless it be Ports
mouth. However, the company and the COM
lnittee have come to an understanding. The
city is to fill the pond of Is acres, at cost of
about $4,000 and the road will erect brick
machine shops. The Salem city council will
probably ratify the contract Monday evening.
Permit me to say that the article you publish
ed is believed to be the inspiration of mem
Der of the Salem common council who didn' t
get on the committee. He is the only known
person in Salem who doesn't approve of the
movement SCOTT

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE BANKERS DAUGHTER.

IHE BANKERS DAUGHIER
Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this
week Golfers Union Square Theatre Com
pany will produce Cazauran and Towards
Bankers Daughter, or Lilian's last Love-"
at Portland Theatre. The play was first pro-
duced at the Union Square on November 80,
1878. and made not only an immediate but
remarkable success Since the Two Orphans
and The Shaugraun, nothing had been pro-
duced in that city which hit the popular taste
so WELL 1t ran for whole season, and every
where it has been produced it has been equally
successful.
The drama exposes the wickedness and folly
of marriages Of convenience. Two women in
the play marry not from choice but for money.
; In the one case the coquette OF twenty mar
ries man of seventy-eight for wealth. in the
other girl, who loves poor man, marries a
rich one to save her father from bankruptcy
The woman who has married to save her faith
er, after seven years meets the man she orig
inally loved. Her heart yearns for him but
her honor forbids. The lover becomes involved
in duel with a practiced bully and swords
man about her, and her husband who has
heard rumors about the liaison arrives on the
ground to find his wife bending over her lovers
body unmindful of conventional restraint
We have noble touch of nature in his taking
her gently from the dead man, wrapping his
cloak about her form as if to protect her from
calumny. All this leads to the keynote of the
play where husband and wife meet alone. To
his reproaches she says in honor and duty he
cannot reproach her. "What care for honor
and duty he exclaimed, DUTY! Honor! Who
mob IF 1,,tx, h<y, r oIra nj L
of love-of that love which in wife is the
sole, invulernable armor of husbands honor
of that love without which honor is value
less and life a blank. God help the husband
whose honor is protected by duty alone"
The scene at the embassy where the prac-
ticed duellist challenges the American because
he fears rival; the denouement where the hus-
band and wife after seven years separation are
reunited; these are remarkable. The comedy
features are as good as the emotional. The
dry-goods man who ''does'' London in four
days and Paris in two; the young Mrs. Brown
who married the old man worth three millions
because she has an uncle in the insurance line
who has assured her that the average of life is
are capital Ii the play is acted well it can
not fail to make an immense hit. The tickets
will be ready today.
PRATTs CONCERT.
The concert rendered Fl. W. Pratt by the.
Weber Club, prior to his departure for the
West will, from the talent employed, and the
motive for the entertainment, prove a great
success as we'll as delightful affair. The
sale of seats will commence at Stockholders
today.

Boating.

Fred PIalSted VIII leave Tor Toronto today
wl<e he will train for his race with Maggie.
Nagle of St..John, visited Boston last week
with a view of closing match with Plaisted.
Both met and talked the matter over, but
could not agree on the place for rowing the
race. Nagle insisted that the race should be
rowed at St. John, and offered Fred liberal
expenses. The Saccarappa sculler preferred
Charles river or Silver Lake, but rather than
have the match fail said that he might go to
ST. John. Nagle left for home on Thursday
last. The outlook is that Fred will close the
match for $500, and accept expenses allowed
by Maggie. The race will take place early in
June. Plaisted will commence training the
beeiuning of April.
