sno nothing il heard from either the Boston
e Maine on the Maine Central opposition
70 the lease. Operations hang fire bv reason
OF Mr.. PHILIPPE proposed injunction to re-
strain the parties from communicating the
lease, The Maine Central i. watching the
Boston & Maine with a keen eye and any
move on the part of the latter will be instant.
~ noted and sharply met Several Mas,a.
chusetts papers have been making much talk
that the Boston & Maine verv pronerlx
snuboed the Name Central; that the East.
ein being in a majority, it is none
OF the business of the Maine Central to raise
an opposing voice. This may sound very
fair and equable. To be sure the Boston &
Maine control 38 600 shares of the road AID
havea legal right to consummate the lease.
Yet will it be for their interest to do 40?
Will it be policy for the Boston & Maine to
own and carry on the Maine Central with a
public sentiment hostile to them: There ia
deep seated feeling in this section of the
State that the Maine Central shall be control
ed by Maine men. Let the Boston &
& Maine get hold, what surety is there that
the Maine Central directors. or at least
controlling majority of them, will not be
obliged to step down and out, and their places
filled BY men who have no regard for the
interests of Maine. The people of the State
are perfectly satisfied with the present man
agement Of the Maine Central and have no
desire for a change.
There Is quite strong sentiment manifest
that the legislature should be called together
ty take action on the matter and extend
a restraining hand, if there is no other way to
prevent the lease. A Portland gentleman.
prominent in railroad circles, asserts that
there is no end to the petitions which can be
got, asking the Governor to convene the leg.
islature. 1t is evident that the people are
jealous that the Boston & Maine will not act
for the welfare of the State and stand ready
to aid the opposition to the lease.
1t is asserted that the Boston & Maine, be-
sides the snubbing. have not kept faith with
the Maine Central. George C. Lord and Mr.
Bradlee. a majority of the lease committee
of the Boston & Maine, we are told signed an
agreement by which the Maine Central should
become party to the lease and have certain
rights guaranteed which could be enforced in
the courts. Now Mr.. Lord turns around and
without a tremOr declares that his directors
decline to make the Maine Central a party to
the lease. A meeting of the Maine Central
officials will be held at an early day for con,
suitation. Should an attempt be made to
procure Maine Central signatures to the lease
there will be decided action.
