As between the Democrats running for the posi- l tion. he was preferred by tue Republicans RAILROAD EXTENSION? fine Boston cores pondent of the Hartford Times writes as fol- lows to that journal:
 ''Frank Chan,terlain of Hartford, rep resenting the Connecticut Valley, Pres ! ident Yeamans of the New Haven and Northampton, and President Leonard of the Coenecticut River railroad, arrived here ] Tuesday evening to attend the hearing of the committee on railroads relative to the exteu- ssionaof the Connecticut Valley railroad to | Springfield and H0lyOke. It is well under | stood by those in the secret that Chester w. | Chapin of Springfield and the Boston and AL bany are behind this scheme, and that the | whole thing means Il parallel railroad from l Springfield to New York in the interest of the | Boston and Albany railroad. SWhfie~tile os- 1 teDsibe plan is to make connections with lhe ! Conheetieut Valley and then open a boat line
 
 | purpose is understood to mean something en l tifely different. It contemplates nothing less than an ''air line' from Springfield to New 1 York. The route. as lad down by one who has been let into the secret, is as follows: Build new line to Tariffvile, utilize the Con- necticut Western to Collinsville, build short link to i4itchfed. run over the Shepaug Val l ley road to Hawleyville, build across to the Harlem railroad. and thence enter New York | by that line. This would give line from Boston to New York entirely in the control of | the Boston and Albany, eighteen miies shorter ntan W HGrtford and Neso Hooen and the trains would be run through betwen the two cities in five hours. This is believed to be the | present programme"
 The Courant considers the scheme imprac l ticable
 Anybody familiar with Connecticut geog 1 raphy or Connecticut railroads will smile at 1 this notion. In the first place the Canal road | and the Connecscu. River road are opposed to | extending the Connecticut Valley, which will 1 cut into their business, and are not in alliance l with it. In the second place the route out 1 lined is up hill and around corners, and would have to be very much overhauled before it could, with the missing links supplied, be- come available as trunk line"

The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1881-03-03

SPRINGFIELD Union: The New YorB
custom house, through the Treasury de
partment, has reported to the Senate the
information about appointments, civil ser
vice examinations, etc., asked for some
three weeks ago in resolutions offered re-
spectively by Senators Conkling and Hoar.
Collector Merritt says that the civil service
reform examinations have worked first rate
when they have worked at all, but adds the
surprising (?) information that majority
OF the appointments have not. been consid-
cred to come under "civil service rules for
one reason or another. Thus, deputy col
lectors, private secretary, confidential clerks,
employees in the cashiers division, messen-
gers, porters, engineers, firemen, watchmen,
debenture inspectors, at So per diem, per-
sons appointed as special inspectors for de-
tective duty, storekeepers and inspectors at
81 per diem, have not been regarded as
coming within the scope of civil service
rules, while it has been convenient to CON
der a majority of the other appointments
as temporary" thus exempting them, too.
In short, civil service reform at the New
York custom house, has simply been kept
"upon the mankle-shelf' for the collector
to take when he felt ''dispoged," or, as the
New York Herald puts it, while there has
been good deal of civil service reform the
ory around there the practice has been al
together different.
