Collision on the Maine central

There was a fortunate but narrow escape
from serious accident on the Maine Central
Railroad, between Augusta and Gardiner, Sat-
urday morning AS special freight train,
Chandler, conductor, was passing down, about
o'clock, the train broke apart at the Steam
Mill crossing in Hallowell. The break was
not discovered until the Farmingdale station
was reached. Then the train was stopped and
backed up to recover the rear end which had
broken loose. IL had proceeded but a short
distance when the cars which had been lost
were met coming quite rapidly on down
grade, the impetus to their motion when the
break had occurred at Hallowell having been
enough to forge them ahead. A collision en-
sued near the Knickerbocker ice house. The
ends OF several cars were stove in and the
shackling apparatus generally demol ished.
fortunately none of the cars left the track,
for II they bad, they would quite likely have
rolled down the embankment into the river.
No one was injured. When the O'Clock
train for Portland came along ii was obliged
to push the cars before it to Gardiner before
the road could be cleared.

The property of the Company consists of $500
head of cattle, houses. six ranches controlling
twenty miles of river front, which controls 20o,-
600 acres of land houses, corrals and other build
ngs necessary to conduct the business, located in
Tonic Basin, centre part of Arizona Territory.
It has long been known that the raising OF Cattle
in Texas, NewMexico, Arizona and other States and
Territories of the great west is and for many years
has been immensely profitable and the fame of the
Cattle Kings is world wide. Starting with small
means, these men within a comparatively short
time, attained positions in the World of business
and finance rivalling the famous Bonanza Kings of
the Pacific Coast. Their success shows the results
of intelligent and perseverng efforts and the short
time which has been necessary for the achievement
of that success proves concusivey that investment
made in the cattle business rarely fails of returning
ratio of profit fairly astonishing to those not ia
miliar with the resources of the great west. And
the almost absolute certainty with which the profit
can be relied upon, will at once commend this class
of investment to anyone who will take the trouble
study the history of Stock in the western portions
of the United States and more particularly Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona. Capital invested in cattle
will return larger per centage of interest than is
returned by any other legitimate investment and at
the same time be free from the risks and uncer-
taintes usually attending highly remunerative or
speculative business.
No safer investment could be offered.
The management of the Company's affairs is in
the hands of parties whose long experien renders
them familiar with all details and are eminenty fit
ted to conduct the enterprise with success.
From the earnings each year after payment of
expenses the holders of the preferred stock are to
receive dividend of per cent, three per cent
to be placed in the contingent fund and the balance
to be divided among the holders of the common
stock.
1000 shares of the preferred stock, par value S25,

RAILWAY NOTES.
The Central Vermont.

The Montreal Star of Saturday last pub
lished the following items concerning the Gem
trial Vermont's connection with the Grand
Trunk
"a director of the Central Vermont Railway
who was in the city yesterday afternoon,
stated to a Star reporter that the rumors at
present in circulation regarding the leasing of
that road by the Grand Trunk were utterly de-
void of truth. There u.s. he said mo exist
ing law or legislation which can possibly per-
NIT of such thing The Central Vermont
Railroad Company are at present in the hands
OF trustees and cannot be taken from them.'
If there is any change contemplated it will
probably be the leasing of the B, ston and Low
ell Railway by the Grand Trunk and Central
Vermont jointly, and the opinion prevails
that Mr.. Hickson's visit to Boston in company
with Mr.. Bell and President Smith Of the
Central Vermont Railroad is in this connec-

Charles B. Staples, an old and respected
shipmaster Of Portland, died at his residence
ON Hampshire street yesterday. He had been
i'll some six months, and his vessel-the brig
George Burnham-was probably lost in the

Staples was a member of Maine Lodge and

Relief of Maine. He was also, we believe,
member Of Ancient Landmark Lodge of
