There are slight misunderstood
ings in existence between the Central
Vermont and the o. & l.. G.. and St.
j. & L. C. roads just now, owing to
the reluctance of the Central Vermont
to allow freight for the st. j. & l.. c.
road to pass over its track between
ROuses Point and SwantOn. There has
been some talk of building a new piece
of road by the o. & l.. c. and the St.
J. & l.. c., but the matter is in abey-
ance as yet, pending the result OF
meetings held at Boston this week.
The actual situation as to the running
of freights is no different from what it
has been for some time past; and just
what can be done permanently will be
decided soon. There is no such terri
BILE condition of affairs, however, as
has been pictured by several of the
city papers.

Quite fiutter was occasioned this morn
ing by the arrival of Mrs. Frank James
and her five-year old son Jesse. She ar
rived on the train from the west, and was
met by her father, Col. Samuel Ralston.
This is the first time she has been at her
home since 1877, and confirms the report
that Frank James will soon receive an un-
conditional pardon. She refused to say
anything further about her husband, but
she added that he had been in bad health
since the death of Jesse. and that he was
at some some watering place. The gen
eral belief is that Frank James has already
surrendered to Sheriff Timberlake The
little boy Jesse is a remarkably good shot
with the revolver.
