RAILROAD MATTERS.
Eastern Railroad.

The Boston Traveller says: "The address of
Col. Jonas H. French at the annual meeting
of the Eastern stock and bondhoders has ex-
cited a very general comment. His intima-
tions may, it is said, ultimately lead to the
giving of publicity to facts concerning the New
Hampshire legislation in favor of the project.
ed lease that. will, to say the least, cause lit
tie surprise. Although the new directory is
''solid' for the lease, the fight is by no means
over as yet, and the war which was waged so
bitterly ia New Hampshire last summer is
likely to be transferred to our own State House
this winter, and an opposition not heretofore
anticipated, and one too, not to be easily over
come is almost certain to be developed. Col.
French's estimate as to the cost of putting the
lease through, (S75,O00 or $S0,OOO,) given to the
meeting yesterday, bids fair, all things consid-
cred, to be very near to the truth"

How theY Voted.

washington correspondent of the N. Y. Times)
Several Senators have complained some-
what excitedly because the vote on McCook
and Gorham in the Republican caucus on
Thursday was incorrectly reported. The vote
as obtained was secured by careful inquiries,
but the information was obtained more by ac-
cident than otherwise, and principally among
the friends of Gorham in and out OF the Sem
ate. 1t is not easy to understand why they
should have misplaced Senators and listed Nc
Cook Senators among those who supported
Gorham. The Senators who opposed Gorham
are determined, if possible, that the record
shall be right on this question. One of the
Senators who has been described as voting for
Gorham, and who was a warm friend OF Gen.
McCook has furnished list OF the Senators
who voted for the three candidates, which
he assured The Times's correspondent may be
depended upon as absolutely correct. This he
furnishes with the somewhat bitter remark
that he hopes the Administration is as well
pleased with its victory in the Senate as it was
with the success of its schemes in the meeting
of the National Committee. The 10 Senators
who voted for Gen. McCook on the last ballot
were Messrs. Aldrick, Cameron of Wisconsin;
Dawes, Dolph, Hale, Hawley, Hill, Hoar,
Lspham, Mcmillan, Msnderson, Miller of Cal
fornia; Miller of New York, Morrill,, Pike
Platt, Sabin, Sawyer and Sermon. The /.
who voted for George g. Gorham we're: Messri
Allison, Blair, Conger, Cullom, Frye, ingalls,
Jones OF Nevada; Logan, Plumb, Sewell, Var
Wyck and Wilson. The three Senators who
voted for Ramdell were Messrs. Edmunds
Harrison and Mitchell On the ballot preced
ing tha. which nominated McCook Senators
Cameron, Mcmillan, and Sawyer voted fol
Gorham, and subsequently changed to Nc
Cook Senator Mitchell was understood to bt
for McCook before the caucus, but it is saiC
that the Cameron people from Pennsylvania
exerted their influence to prevent him votine
against Gorham. In voting fer Rsmdell
whom nobody expected to be elected, Mr.. Ed
munds has avoided the danger OF being classe(
as contributing to the success of either faction
of the Republican Party.

Senator Frye's Plan and the south.

new 4Ork 1ElDune-l
II Senator Frye's plan for apportloning dele
oates to the next Republican national conven-
ton had been made public two weeks earlier,
a sentiment might have been aroused IN the
Republican press which would have forced the
committee to adopt it. Bat the interval was
too Short and the national convention was So
near that it was possible for the opponents ol
any change to deprecate 1t on the ground that
it might seem to be in the interest of some one
candidate, or against the interest OF some 9TH
er There is no reason, OF course, why we may
not reach conclusion satisfactory to the
whole party, in the next convention, upon q
basis of representation that has been followed
in all the proceeding conventions; but much
will depend upon the way in which the South
ern States use their power. They will have
35 per cent of the votes in the convention
they must not forget that one hundred per
cent. of the electoral votes needed to elect the
Republican candidate must come from The
North.

Fate of the Lake steamer Hurlburt-
Twenty Persons Lost.
WINNIPEG, Dec. 15.-A despatch from Port
Arthur says: Schooner Mary Ann Hurlburt
being towed to Michipicoton by steamer Ken
caroline foundered off st. Ignace Island last
night. The Hurlburt carried a crew of five,
in addition to 10 labcrers, all of whom went
down with the vessel. The Kencardine arriv-
ed at Pigs Platt at 2 clock this morning, and
reports that terrific storm came up very sud-
denly. The steamers officers held to the ves-
sci as long as they possibly could, but finally
had to cut her loose to save themselves, the
vessel being full of water and in a sinking
condition. A few moments after they parted,
the Hurlburt was seen to give terrible lurch
and go down with all on board. Those on the
steamer were unable to render any assistance
or attempt a rescue on account of the hurri-
cane and heavy sea. which was running at
the time. Both boats were loaded with sup
plies from Port Arthur, and were consigned to
railroad contractors at Michipicoton.

WELLS.
The fire bug is abroad in Wells again and
after several attempts has burned the Buffum
saw and grist mill as before reported. The
saw mill had not been running for q year. but
the grist mill has occasionally. Last Saturday
the miller left the mill at D. M, at which
time all was right. AT 230 a. M, Sunday, the
whole building was in one sheet of Hanie6
Every part appeared to the neighbors who first
viewed it to be on fire alike. Nothing was
saved, and the only thing left to mark where
the mill stood is the chimney and the base
ment brick walls, also the f1ume which was OF
GOO; the value OF the whole property is esti-
mated at $4,000 to $4,000; insured $4,000.

A few days ago two men started from Kineo

telegraph poles through the woods The day
was fearfally cold, and one Of the msn was SO
thoroughly chilled and overcome by ths cold
that he was obliged to halt when half way down
The other man continued on and reached
Greenyille late in the afternoon, nearly frozen.
After entering the hotel he informed those
around him that man was In distress about
five miles above there. Mr.. John Cusack, so
well known in northern Piscataquis, learning
the facts of the case and the probable location
of the unfortunate fellow, organized party of
five men and Immediately started in pursuit,
on foot, of course, and after searching nearly
all night found their man on his back and un-
conscious. They found that his feet were bad
ly frozen and other parts of his body frost-bit-
ten. After constant rubbing and an applica-
tion of proper remedies, the men took him to
Greenville. Had the man remained in the
woods much longer he would have died. The
name of the man who came SO near freezing is
