VIII the City Dispose of Its interests in
the Road9 The Canadian Pacific Looking
Towards Portland.

AOW dAtsc OibihA4Nk'
At an informal meeting of the City Coun-
Gil held last evening upon call of the Mayor.
Hon. W. L. Putnam appeared to suggest for
consideration of the city government the sub
Ject OF disposal, by sale or lease, OF the citys
interest in the Portland and Ogdensburg Rail-
road. Mr.. Putnam said that he had now no
proposition to make to the City Council in be-
half of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, but Ii
upon consideration OF the matter and consulta-
tlon with the citizens there should appear to be
disposition to consider favoraby PROPOSE
ton to huy or lease the city's interest in the
road 1t was probable that the Canadian Pacific
would be prepared at an early day to make
definite proposition. Mr.. Putnam set forth
with some particularly the conditions which
in his judgment the city might be expected to
insist upon in such a transaction regarding its
own interests, and also expressed his conf
dence that such conditions would not be OBJ
Jected to by the corporation in question, and
the ends in view when the city invested in the
Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad would thus
be secured. Several gentlemen made inquir-
les tending to fuller understanding of the ar
rangement oltlined by Mr.. Putnam for guard
ing the city's rights and interests. There was
no action taken, beyond deciding to have
another informal meeting to consider the mat

Fire on South street.

The alarm sent in from box "a, at 1856 yes
terday afternoon was caused by slight fire on
the roof of the two-storied wooden house on
South street, between Spring and Pleasant
streets, owned by l. p. Harrington, and occu-
pied by the families of Dennis Tierney, Tho M
as Kilmartin, John Adams and family
named Kelley. 1t seems that a wood fire in
the stove of Dennis Tierney set the chimney
on fire and the sparks from the chimney set
the shingles of the roof on fire. The fire was
extinguished before any damage of conse-
ouence was done.

Rewarded for an Heroic Deed

We were shown last night the gold medal
which was sent by the Humane Society of
Massachusetts, to John Savage OF the
Eastern railroad for heroic conduct. 1t
will be remembered Mr.. Savage was
engineer of No. train from Boston to
Portland. His train was standing OIL the main
line at Beverly Station and also directly upon
the crossing Of the Gloucester road. He saw
the Gloucester train coming laundering down
upon him, just rounding o curve, but instead
OF jumping Off his engine he opened the
throttle wide and backed his train, at the same
time shouting to brakeman named Williams
to throw the switch for the Gloucester train.
All of this was done in an instant, but none
too soon, for the switch was hardly thrown
before the latter train rushed by, with but six
inches of space between the two trains.
Upon one side the medal, which is consider
ably larger than silver dollar, is this inscrip-
ton:
To JOHN SAVAGE,
ENGINEER
OF the Eastern r. r, Co.
For remarkable bravery and presence of
mind by which two full trains were
saved from a dreadful disas-
aster at Beverly, Aug. s,
and upon the other side is the coat of arms of
the Society.
This token of esteem is most valuable one,
and will be, no doubt highly priced by Mr..
Savage and his descendants.

MEETING The TEST.
again. y

THE TRIBUNE took occasion, the other day,
70 remind the Democratic State offcers-elect
that an excellent opportunity would soon be al
forded them to demonstrate their real convlc-
tions touching practical Civil Service Reform.
We pointed ont that there could be no doubt OF
the nature of those convictions, when 1t was
seen what disposition the Controller, Attorney
General and State Engineer made of the subor-
dinate places of their respective departments.
Well, unless the burden of the news that comes
from Albany is strangely at fault, the great
cause of Civil Service Reform is not to receive
much announcement from these gentlemen.
The Democratic Treasurer retains the present
deputy of his department. The present deputy
ia Democrat. On the other hand, the Demo-
cratic Attorney Gcncral and State Engineer re-
move the present deputies of their departments.
The present deputies are Republicans. so there
vould seem TO be warrant for saying that the
Deputy Treasurer is retained because he IS
Democrat, and the other deputies are removed
because they are Republicans. AS to the Con-
trollerelect It is now given out that he will re-
tain the present Republican deputy OF his
department. Wetrust the report is well founded,
and if il proves to be we shall not be backward
in awarding Mr.. Chaplin the full recognition due
him as a Civil Service Rcformcr in the concrete.
And we beg to remind him that it is not this
paper, but so trustworthy an exponent OF Democ-
racy as The Utica Observer, that feels prompted
to ask the question Did Mr.. Chaplin make this
"dccision Ito retain Republican deputy be-
"cause he thought it was right, or because the
Republican organs have been loudly blow
cling of late about Civil Service Reform Does
The Observer call this backing its friends Why
should it insinuatc that Mr.. Chaplin Is capable OF
acting in public relation from any other than
a purely patriotic reasOnf
The fate of the clerks of the departments
whose deputies are to be superseded, or OF the
Controllers Department, does not yet appear.
1t is possible that the Attorney General-elect
and the State Engineer-elect are earnest Civil
Service Rcformcrs, but believe in drawing the
line at deputies. A few days will determine
just how it is.

doubt with truth, that Mr. Carlisle did not
desire to make selection that would expose
his party to this censure. But he could not
help it. He was obliged to place Democrats IN
charge of his committees. And he could not
intrust them to Democrats without giving to
the South an altogether undue share of power
in the Government. If he sought for men OF
brains and experience for important places, he
had to take most of them from the South. 80
it comes to pass that, under Democratic ma
iority, the South is of necessity placed in con-
troll of the Government, empowered to frame
our tariffs, to pay the war debt to pass upon
claims and pensions, to provide for Northern
commerce and trade and agriculture, and to
frame the laws upon which Northern industry
depends. That is exactly what Democratic
victory means" the South i'll the saddle
