RAILROAD NOTES.
The Southeastern


The Montreal Star says of the Southeastern's
recent purchase of the st. John Sorel road:
"Now that the Southeastern Company has
control of it, and hold the largest part OF its
stock, they will go on with the construction of
that section of it between st. John and Cham
bly, Immediately, with the intention of complet-
ing before this time next year. From Cham
bly, they run over the main line to Longueil,
and from the latter place they have already
connection with Sorel by the Montreal & So
rel, which they have just reached. Having
thus through line from st. Johns to Sorel,
via Chambly and Longueuil they will not, it
is said, for the present, build that section of
the st. John u Sorel running east of Cham
bly,. 1t is understood that Mr.. Futvoye, long
connected with the Southeastern, will he the
manager of the new route.
The Southeastern now own or control III
this province, besides their main line from st.
Lambert to Newport, lines between the follow
ing points: From Sutton Junction to Sorel,
from Chambly to st. Johns, from Chambly to
Sorel, and from st. Lambert, via Longueuil, to
Sorel. This means, of course, that the Cana
dian Pacific railway has control of these lines
for, since the prominent members of the syn
dictate hold the chief part of the stock Of the
Southeastern, the two roads are practically
one. AS the Great Eastern Railway Company
Sorel railway, and its line is owned and pro-
NOTED by the proprietors of the latter road, its
charter is also practically under control OF the
syndicate. Thus will be contaminated the
scheme which was described in these columns
some six months ago, namely, that the syndi-
cate, taking as central point the south end of
the Atlantic and Northwest railway bridge,
will have line of rails along every principal
route of communication in Southern Quebec,
namely, to Lewis, to Newport, to st. Johns, to
Rouse's Point, and to Dundee, and to the At
lantc coast by the Atlantic & Northwest.
Every principal channel of trade is thus
brought in connection. 1t will be remembers
the Southern road ia the Montreal connection
of the Portland 81 Ogdensburg.
Minor Notes.
Superintendent Furber denies the report
that the Boston & Maine has an interest in the
proposed construction of road from Tilton to
Belmont, known as the Franklin & Portland
line, and advises the people of Belknsp county
n. III. not to jeopordize the Lake Shore line,
which is sure TO be chartered and built il tho
people of B-lknap, Strafford and Rockingham
counties adhere to that line, and insist upon
having every Representative and Senator use
his influence in procuring the charter.

school. Ii has been long time since an out
side boy has attempted to escape. The major
| ity of the boys must necessarily be employed
| in the building and SO the chair shops were in
| treduced, where the boys are given allotted
tasks. Witness claimed that the boys were al
| ways given tasks entirely within their capacity,
1 and that they were offered for extra work,
| when so disposed, within one cent OF what the
| State received for the work. After he had
| tried various methods to make the boys do
| their tasks he resorted TO punishment.
| Concerning the instruction of the school Mr.
Harrington paid high compliment to the eff
/ cheney OF the assistant superintendent, Mr..
| Wentworth. The immoralities that had to be
1 combatted among the boys were spoken of.
| They had been talked to kindly and plainly.
| At the present time profanity is the exception,
/ not the rule. 1t is the habit of the boys to
complain of the officers. 1t had been the hab-
| it of himself and Mr.. Wentworth to tell the
| boys to make complaints to them in any case
/ of Entertainment. He had investigated, and
had, in many cases, occasion to correct the
| officer. The boy may never have known of
| that, and supposed that no attention had been
| made TO his complaint.
AS to Officer Owen, Mr.. Harrington thought
| the statement of the boys greatly exaggerated
| Under the head OF the difficulties which the
| teachers had to contend with were mentioned
| the visit by the Governor and Council, the
| Governor going through the building with a
| cigar, and he subsequently addressed the boys
| at some length. AT the conclusion of his re-
| marks the boys at Jne invitation OF tne cover
| nor voted unanimously that they should like to
| have the name Of the institution changed from
reform to industrial school. The first fruit of
the talk of the Governor was manifested by
/ the bows singing out, "New super, new super"
| Witness claimed that the officers were mis-
| understood The actual corporal punishment
| 10 not fairly shown by the book, as the steps
which lead to such punishment as a final
resort do not appear >,
Mr.. Harrington said that he did not recall
anything further that he desired to say and
invited questions from the commissioners.
The commissioners thought that Mr. y: IN
his opening testimony and the statement just
made had covered all the ground so far as he
was concerned, and had no further questions to
| ask.
The commission adjourned to meet at the
same place at 4 o'clock this afternoon, when
DR.. Webster, the physician, and Miss Swan, a
teacher in the school, will be examined, which
will probably end the public session Of the
board, who will then make up their report to
! the Governor and Council.

Ida SUheibler, the ten year old
daughter of Mr.. Sam Scheibler, and
Willie Getz, aged 10. were bitten by a
rabid dog in Chelsea yesterday. The
girl was on her way home from taking
a music lesson and passing on Seventh
street, when she was attacked and her
left arm was bitten and she also re-
ceived injuries in the back. Young
Getz tried to drive the dog away from
his fathers sheep, when he was bitten
in both arms and both thighs. The
father Of young Getz then shot the
dog, and if all the dogs in the city
were consigned to the same fate a
majority Of people would feel easier.
The injured children have had their
wounds ~cauterizcd, but the result can

THE RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL.
Congressman Gambler Tells why
He Voted for IL.

When asked why he voted for the
river and harbor bill, Representative
Gambler. Of Massachusetts,, said: II
cannot give you my reasons satisfac
torily in a few words. The great
differences Of opinion in regard to
the river and harbor bill indicate it
is an important question. | can only
say | began my work on the Com
mittee on Commerce opposed to the
bill, and, in a general way, preiudiced
against 1t. After studying it for
months, with reports of engineers and
statistics Of the vast commerce and
the prospective growth of the
country, and listening to the
statements Of Senators aud Repre-.
sentatives, it was my public duty to
vote for the bill, though it was not
as | should have mads it. 1t gives
the whole country lower prices for
food and coal, and also harbors that
will accommodate the large vessels
necessary now for our export trade.
Coal and grain vessels are three times
the size of those a few years ago.
The United States, with 81 900 miles
of seacoast, the great rivers and lakes,
is a vast country, with her $4,000, 000,
600 OF internal commerce. This is the
only practical way to develop her in
ternal resources, and to improve the
rivers and harbors OF the country.
These appropriations are not hastily
made. First, a petition comes from
the citigens of a State for a survey.
Then q United States engineer makes
report and recommends an appropria
tion, stating the necessity and COM
mercial importance, or refuses to rec-
ommend to the Secretary Of War. He
recommends it to Congress. 1t is
referred to the Committee on Com
merce, which gives hearings this year
