burning on the table for the accommodation of
one of the family who had TO be out late in the

rain storm and grew frisky. She tried to jump
upon the table and in so doing stuck her claws
into The cloth, pulling the whole thing lamp
and all to the floor. The table cover took fire

RAILWAY NOTES.
The Grand Trunk.

The Grand Trunk.
The Boston journal says there is very i'm
portant question which will undoubtedly have
great influence against the Grand Trunk se-
curing the Lowell road This refers to the
fact that the directors and stockholders of the
Boston & Lowell have large direct interests
in manufacturing concerns in both Massachu-
setts and New Hampshire and the past history
of the Grand Trunk in handling the local traf-
fc along its thousands of miles of road. gives
currency to the opinion that the stockholders
of the Boston & Lowell will hesitate long be-
fore they will hand the transportation interests
of Billerica, Lowell, Manchester, Nashua, Con-
cord, etc., over to the Grand Trunk. While il
is easy enough to perceive considerable bene-
fits that could be brought about from such q
consolidated concern as the Boston q Lowell,
Concord, Northern, and Boston, Concordi &
Montreal railroads, or any two of them, il is
very difficult, with the present light upon the
question, to see any benefits comparable with
the disadvantages which would result from
lease Oh the Lowell TO the present system of
the Grand Trunk.
The Maine Central Lease.
A committee of Maine Central directors,
consisting of W. G. Davis. w. 81. Baxter, Da-
rius Alden, F. A. Wilson, F. w. Hill, Abner
Coburn and E. f. Webb, met in Wateryille
yesterday to consider a proposition to lease
their road to the Boston and Maine. A COM
munication to President Lord, of the Boston
& Maine, was drawn up and signed by all
present. 1t was not deemed proper to give the
contents to the public at this date. 1t is evi-
dent that no decisive action has been taken,
and that future meetings and consultations
will follow before basis of settlement is
reached.

In the person of Major Hancock, Los

mark and a most valuable citizen. A
gallant officer Of the Mexican war, O
pioneer and an officer on the Union side
during the ''late unplsasantness," Major
Hancock was for long years a conspicu-
Gus figure in California. His premature
death was the result OF an accident at
Santa Monica. Thrown from his buggy,
he sustained an injury in the chest
which, reinforced by a severe cold, re-
suited in quick consumption. He will
be greatly regretted by all Angelcnos
whose residence dates back decade or
two. OF a kindly character, most cour.
teous manners and blessed with great
activity OF intellect, Major Hancock was
heartily liked by all with whom he was
thrown in contact. He leaves wife
and, we believe, several children.

which the tressury Of the United statel

immortal Pine Tree statesmanl to sup
ply -four at ss.65 hundred pounds, to
be delivered at the Tres Pinos Agency.
Before any Of the -four was delivered
the Indians were removed TO Utah.
The contractor was then instructed to
deliver the -four at Salt Lake, where he
purchased the amount required at s2.25
per hundred pounds, thus being relieved
of the expense Of transportation. The
Commissioner Price next turns around
and makes contract with Mr.. Wallace,
Of Salt Lake, agreeing to pay him so q
hundred for transporting this four to the
Indian Agency. This latter gentleman,
instead Of bothering himself with teams,
went to the neighborhood Of the post,
and bought the -four at s3. rs hundred.
with stipulation for its delivery at the
point designated. That Uncle Sam has
