RAILROAD MATTERS.

The Grand Trunk and Great Western.
MONTREAL, Aug. 12.-The Grand Trunk and
Great West 3rn Railroad Companies consoli-
da'ion creates very little change of any kind.
The only order thus far issued has been to en-
ployees of both companies to make their ac-
counts close with midnight last night, and to
commence their next accounts under the new
regime. None of the Great Western employ
ees, save ticket agents, are here. There will
it appears, be pairing down of the force in
places where it can / , done, but this is not yet
to be done and will be done gradually, the
best men being left. The time tables are ex-
pected to be changed in many territories so as
to connect more closely with the Grand Trunk
trains. This will also be matter more for the
future, and will not be done for long time as
a matter of necessity.
Seizure of Great Western Boat.
DETROIT, Aug 12.-At midnight last night
the only remaining transfer boat Of the Great
Western Railroad at this point was quietly
seized by sheriff by direction of the Car Loan
Company. After that hour the boat wonld
have passed into the posses5ion OF the new con-
solidated Grand Trunk Company, and the car
company evidently thought best to use force
in fighting for the title. Passengers are sent
east by the Canada Southern line. There is
now no means of transportation acro-s the
river at this point.

Letter Of Acting Secretary French to
Customs Collectors.
WASHINGTON, Aug. u.
Acting g-Secretary OF the Tree1ury, French,
to-day addressed letter to the Collectors at
New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston
and Portland, calling attention to the act of
Congress making provision for the establish
ment of cattle quarantine stations, and stating
that it is the desire of the department to pro-
vide proper shelter for imported cattle at these
ports as soon as convenient. Collectors are in
structed to consider the best method of doing
this, and also where such quarantine stations
should be established.
Judge Fre1ch's letter says it has
been suggested that at some ports
transportation companies may be willing
to aid in furnishing the accommodations desir-
ed, and also that the place selected for quaran-
tine stations should be accessible by water car
liage and such that cattle in quarantine may
be Isolated from other cattle, and that each
importation may also be isolated from other
mportations.
