RAILROAD NOTES.

The Canadian Pacifc-Arrival OF the Of
hcers of the Road-Au Interesting Let
ter from Hon W. D. Washburn.
Yesterday Hon. W. l.. Putnam took the af-
ternoon train over the Ogdensburg and met
Messrs. George Stephens, president, Duncan
Mcintyre, vice president, and J. J. @. Abbott,
counsel, OF the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and
escorted them to this city. The gentlemen had
very delightful ride from Montreal, taking
the regular train from that city and reaching
Portland on time, at 10 O'Clock D. M. They
were driven at once to the Falmouth where
rooms wei assigned them. They were met at
the hotel by representatives of the PRESS and
Argus. Messrs. Stephens and Mcintyre are
both large, powerful men of commanding APP
pearance. Mr.. Abbott is gentleman of very
pleasant address, and paid visit to this
city in 1873. The gentlemen will be prepared to
meet the committee of the City Government
this afternoon, and III probably return to
Montreal tomorrow.
The following letter, which was addressed
to gentleman of this city, will be read with
especial interest at this time; written as it was
by brother.of the late Gov. Washburn, whose
faith in the future of the Ogdensburg never
faltered. 1t will be noticed that it is dated
October ID:
No. 40 WASHINGTON AVENUE,
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2, 1888.
notice BY the newspapers that Mr.. George
Stephen, president of the Canadian Pacific
Railway Co., has recently been in Portland
with the view of negotiating for the acquis-
ton OF the Portland and Ogdensburg r. r.
do not know as this is anything more than
newspaper report, but / trust that it may
prove something more substantial for / can
conceive of nothing that would be of greater
Importance to the interests of the city of Port
land than the successful contamination of such
negotiations, while it would, think, add ma
terialiy to the project recently inaugurated in
this city Tor the building of a direct line of
railway from here to the Sault Ste. Marie.
You cannot fail to see that with our line COM
pleted to the Sault, that Portland in this way
is to have the best possible outlet for this re.
gion of country. Let me call your attention to
the fact that by this line the distance to Port
land is 1897 miles against 1870 miles from Min
neapolis to New York via Chicago. Also to
the further fact, that Portland will be reached
by the shortest possible route that can be
made from here to the Atlantic coast. need
not remind you under this condition of things
OF the immense traffic that will necessarily fol-
low this line. Not only the immense bust
ness of the cities of Minneapolis and st. Paul,
and the vast country tributary to them, but
also the traffic of the Northern Pacific real
ly hope that these negotiations will succeed,
and that Portland is wide awake upon the gen.
eral subject and that its citizens will make
themselves felt in carrying out the whole pro-
gram.
Please let me hear from you about this.
Yours very truly,
W. D. WAsHBuRN.

Minor Notes.

Some of our contemporaries, after stating
that the Eastern earned surplus of $162. 900
ending Aug, 81, then state that the net for the
financial year which ends a month later-Sept
50th-would be $135,000 The facts of the
case are that the financial statement has not
been made up as yet. There is little doubt,
however, but what a net of $4,000 to $780,
600 for that period will be shown.
The Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain In Au-
gust earned net $23,600, against S21, 700 in Au-
gust, 1882, and since April $4,000 in com par.
ison with $4,000 last year, making gain of

a Church Divided Against Itself-Riotous
Proceedings at Buffalo.
BUFFALO, July pa riotous affair oc-
Cured at ST. Stanislaus (Polish) Catholic
church yesterday. About five months ago
Rev Frank Charvanix was appointed to as
sst Rev. John Pitass. The former Immediate
ly began vigorous crusade against the evils
that beset his flock by seeking to stop the ex.
cessive beer drinking that was being INDUCED
iu and the playing of music in the saloons ad-
iacent to the church during service. Mr.. Pit
ass did not agree with the movement, and the
result was that the congregation was about
evenly divided. Charvanix began to receive
threatening letters, and some of the members
on his side hearing of it stoned one of the sa-
looms opposite the church, completely demol-
ishiDg the front and pool table within. The
eliminating point was reached when one of
the priests was hissed upon entering the
church for service at O'Clock last night. The
edifce was soon cleared and fully 1000 Poles
assembled outside. When the police arrived
they were met with volley Of stones and 9TH
or missiles Two of the officers were struck,
but were not seriously hurt, and che crowd at
last dispersed after threatening to burn certain
houses. Ten arrests were made and others
will follow.
