RAILWAY NOTES.
How the Maine shore Line is to be Built.

The Journals correspondent at Bangor tele
graphs: The details of the plan by which the
necessary funds for the building of the Shore
Line Railroad will be raised have just been
completed and are substantially as follows:
The Maine Central Railroad having leased the
Shore Line from Bangor to Sullilan, agrees to
pay 9 per cent. interest on the 900 which
its construction will cost; one per cent OF this
to go to create sinking fund which in the
tsrm of forty years will extinguish the sum
allowed named, at which time, the principal
and interest having been duly discharged, the
Maine Central comes into absolute owner
ship OF the road. To raise the necessary funds,
a plan has been adopted similar to that by
which several Western railroads have been
built, where they have been leased by other
corporations prior to their construction. The
Maine Central will issue its own notes or
bonds for $4,000 at per cent. interest.
These bonds are now being prepared in New
York, and will be soon placed upon the
market. The $750,000 bonds issued by the
Shore Line Railroad will be placed In the
hands OF some strong trust company as coll
lateral security for the like amount issued by
the Maine Central. The latter corporation
Will pay to the trast company the per cent.
which is to go to create the sinking fund for
the extinguishment of the original bonds Of
the Shore Line. When this debt, principal
and interest, has been discharged according TO
the terms of the lease, as above stated, the
Shore Line comes into the absolute ownership
and becomes an integral part of abe Maine
Central. The stock OF the Shore Line will OF
course, be only valuable as an evidence Of the
public spirit OF the original subscribers thereto.
Minor Notes.
The Eastern and Maine Central Railroads
had one of the largest, il not the largest, weeks
business last week in their history. The heat
hurried thousands to the cool resorts of the
East. The Flying Yankee train has already
become the most popular train for Eastern
Boston. Its success exceeds the expectation
OF the managers.

Professor Lyford.

A correspondent of the Lewiston Journal
furnishes the following biographical sketch of
Professor Moses Lyford, of Colby University,
who has resigned, after service of q years
Professor Lyford was born in Mt. Vernon,
fitted for college at Kents Hill, and graduated
from Wateryille College in 1843. Immediately
after graduating he became principal of the
academy at Kennebunk, and remained there
three years, at the end of which time he be-
came principal of the academy in Townsend,
Vi, position which he filled for four years.
In 1850 he was elected to the princpaship of
the boys high school in Portland. At this
time it was the prevailing idea that boys could
not be governed without resorting to corporal
punishment; yet Prof. Lyford, by his tact and
great skill in discipllning won the respect and
lasting esteem of the school Among the
members of this school who have become emil
usnt are Hon, Il. B. Reed of Portland Repre-
sentative to Congress; j. f. Elder, 3D., of
New York City: Ii. M. King, D. D., of Alba
ny; and many others, from whom come the
highest eDcomiums, some of them attributing
their success more to their training in the high
school than to all the rest of their education.
In 1856, after six years of unusually successful
service IN the boys high school, he was called
to the proiessorship of Waterville.s
When Prof. Lyford entered upon his profess
sorship at Waterville, the college was In
CT mparatiyely poor condition, and he has con-
tributed his share to its present prosperity and
graduates. AS an instructor he impressed up.
on his pupils that he was not merely familiar
with the text book used but the subjects
taught, and with correlated branches. His in
struction was characterized by exactness and
perspicuty Of statement, and by clearness Of
illustration and success in experiments. He
possessed the ability to get good work from the
students, and was characterized by affability Of
manner and gentlemanly treatment OF his
classes. Add to these qualities the intellectual
power which he possessed in an unusual degree
and 1t is great service he has rendered OF
Watefvlle, during the more than quarter Of
century over which his professorship extends.
Prof. Lyford has always endeavored to keep
abreast OF the times in the work OF his depart
ment. For a number of years he has been
member OF the American Association for the
Advancement of Science. In 1873, he went TO
Colorado to make observati ms Of the total
eclipse OF the sun. In 1881, in company with
his son, he made tour through Europe
During the forty years that he has been
teacher, he has never been absent from his
work one entire term. He has been identified
not only with the higher education but also
with the common schools, having served the
town OF Waterylle in the capacity of school
committee for seventeen years.

The Ruckaeld Ronharu

The story Of the Buckfeld robbery, which
appeared in Mondays PRESS, having caused
some comment-as witness the account in
Mondays Advertiser, republished in yester-
DAYS PREss,--it seems sufficient to say that it
was the story of the detective as given in a
public place and heard by the reporter among
others. 1t was printed the same as any other
public information is printed, derived from
such souree,-as the theory of the detective
merely, not the opinion of the PRESS, nor
with any unfriendly feeling to Mr.. Cole.

Two Honest Men in this Crooked world

Two Honest Men in this Crooked World.
On Friday of last week lady lost her purse,
containing about $50, in the waiting room of
the Portland s. Rochester station. An UNI
known gentleman found it and carried 1t to
the ticket agent, by whom it was returned to
its owner on Monday. The lady had not dis
covered her loss until Saturday. She adyer-
tised it in the Monday morning papers; but
being quite unable to conceive where, when,
or how she had lost her property, knowing
that the purse contained no cew to its owner
ship, and having no particular faith in promis-
cuous human nature, she was inclined to think
that she should never see her money again
Its recovery was, therefore, a double pleasure,
and her appreciation Of the honesty of that un
known traveller, and of the kindness of the
ticket agent of the Portland g. Rochester Rail-
road is very lively.

The Argus Libel Suit.

A decision has Just been rendered by Judge
Whitehouse Of the Superior Court for Kenne-
bee county in the libel suit of White VS.. Adams.
The article upon which the action was
brought was written by correspondent of the
Eastern Argus at the time OF the liquor riot
of last year in Augusta, and it was claimed that
it oniustly and violently reflected upon the
official conduct of City Marshal White, who
claimed in his suit brought by Messrs Baker
and Baker Of Augusta, $4,000 damages. The
counsel for the Argus, Messrs. n. and II. b.
Cleaves, contended that the language used was
not libelous and that the action could not be
maintained. Judge Whitehouse has just rem
dered his decision in favor of defendant upon
the ground that the article did not constitute a
