The hearing in the noted case of James II.
Langdon ct ais. against the Vermont q Can
ada railroad company ct ais. was begun at
Montpelier on Tuesday, before the full bench
of the Supreme Court. This is regarded as
the most important civil case ever tried in
Vermont involving, as it docs, some SIS. OOO,-
600 The question at ISSUE briefly stated, is
whether the indebtedness of the receivers and
managers constitutes lien in the nature of
an equitable mortgage upon the Vermont
Central and the Vermont and Canada rail
roads, their privileges and appurtenances,
franchise, equipment and all property claims
and assets, superior to the claims of the Yer
mont and Canada road and its first and second
mortgage bondholders Early in the pro-
ceedings the Court appointed John W. Row
ell W. 2. Dillingham; and w. H. Walker
special masters to ascertain and report the
amount and the character of the trust indebt-
edness of the Vermont Central railroad man
agement They some time since completed
their labors andfiled their report with the clerk
ofthe Franklin county court. Accordingto this
the amount of bonds presented and proved was
81, 500 600, out of total issue of 81, 300. 900.
The overdue interest amounted to more than
50 .OO0 600. The floating debt was about 81
600, 600. The Central Vermont claim for
cash advances Appropriated 800, OOO-mak-
ing total trust indebtedness of 81, 500, 900.
Shortly after this, Judge Royce filed a pro
.t077nG decree, holding this indebtedness a
first lien upon the property and ordering it
paid in default of such payment defendants
to be foreclosed on all equity redemption in
the property, and to be ordered to deed or
release all titles in the same to w. II. H.
Bingham of Stowe in trust for the orators
and such other trust creditors as may be en-
titled. From this decree an appeal was TAX
en- to the Supreme Court, which, after various
delays, now comes on for hearing. On the
one side are the holders of the 81, 800, 900 of
the trust Indebtedness above set forth on
the other are the Vermont and Canada stock
and bond holders, whose debentures repre-
sent about $S, 900, 900. 1t the trust indebted
ness is held to be a first lien, the Vermont
and Canada stock and bonds will become
worthless as the property is insufficient to
pay both amounts; if it is decided to be not
a first lien, the Vermont and Canada people
will get their money, and the holders of the
trust debt will come to grief. AS n matter of
course the best legal talent in the state is en-
ployed in tho case. On Wednesday Mr..
Ffeld made the opening argument for the
orators. Mr.. Edmunds appears for the Grand
Trunk Mr.. Barrett for the Worcester Safe
Deposit Company; Judge Shaw for the
first mortgage bondholders; Mr.. Brooks for
the second mortgage bondholders; Colonel
Walker and Mr.. Phelps for the Vermont and
Canada, and Judge Poland and Senator Ed
munds will close for the orators. The hear
ing will continue until Friday night at least.

The funeral of Ralph Waldo Emerson
which took place at Concord, Mass, last Sun.
day afternoon, was a simple and unostenta-
tious ceremony. The public exercises in the
old Unitarian church, following the private
service at the house, consisted mainly of ad-
dresses by Judge lockwood Hoar, Mr.. En-
erson's old friend and neighbor and James
Freeman Clarke, of Boston, with reading
from the Scriptures by DIR. Furness, of Phil
adelphia, and prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Brown,
of Brookline. A sonnet by A. Bronson Al
colt concluded the service. The singing of
Pleyeps Hymn at the request of the Emerson
family and the reading of one of Wattss
hymns, which was favorite with Mr. Emer-
son, constituted the other features of the pub
lie exercises. At their conclusion the congre-
CATION and the townspeople were allowed to
pass by the coffu, and then the burial in the
old village cemetery followed, portion of
the Episcopal service being read at the grave
by the Rev. Mr.. Haskins, a relative of Mr..
Emerson. Daring the day the town was in
mourning Every dwelling humble and
prominent, every store and public building,
was draped with mourning. The ftg on the
town flagstaff was hung at half-mast aud the
library was extensively drlped. There was
great throng present from oat Of town, the
people present numbering not less than 5000,
Among those present were George William

guished in literary and professional circles.
