Miscellaneous Notes.

The first shipment of merchandise over tho
Shore Line railroad. of Maine, which, when COM
pleted, will be known as the Mount Desert
branch of the Maine Central road, was made last
week.
There is growing dssatis faction in Boston
with the New York management of the Union
Pacific, based in great part upon we'll grounded
suspicion that the highest official there has been
engaged in speculative sales upon the sher5 side
of the market.
The Grand Trunk will, tomorrow, begin oper-
ating the Midland railway, of Canada, on alease
for ninety nine years. The Midland comprises a
system of $40 miles. and will give the Grand
Trunk important connections through bust
ness from the Georgian bay region.
The trouble between the New York Central
and the Fitchburg railroad has revived the talk
about railroad from North Adams to Albany,
through South Williamstown and the Hancock
valley and Stephentown. This route would give
the Tunnel line an outlet and make new COM
peting line west.
The Mich gan Central has concluded not to
make Use of the cantalever bridge until about
the first of February. There is good deal of
work needed to obe done before trains he
handled conveniently, though there is nothing
to prevent the roads using it at once. The
question Is one of convenience. On the Canada
side large improvements are going on. A new
freight-yard of 400 is nearly ready for
business, and passenger depot to cost $11, 600
is going up.

Still another capitalist, prominently identified

well, Mr.. Wizard is in poor health and 1t is

The significance of these statements lies in the
fact that they all begin with the announcement
Shat Mr.. Willard Is in poor health" That it is
10 be understood, is to be the reason assigned
FOR his retirement; but there are people I'M
charitable enough to say that Mr.. Willard is to
