RAILWAY NOTES.
The Canadian Pacific and the Grand
Trunk.

A dispatch 70 theeSunday Herald from
Burlington, Vt, says: 'frt iszSssated on good
authority that active negotiations are Ii pro
gress, with prospect of speedy contamination
for the purchase Of the Southeastern Railway
by the Canadian Pacific syndicate. The price
named is upward Of 100000, but the real
consideration will probably not be made pub
lie. The sentire property is owned by Hon.
Bradley Barlow of Montreal The bonded in.
debtedness of the roads OF which the South
eastern is made up, has all been consolidated
into one mortgage of s1,750.090, bearing inter-
est at per cent. None of these bonds have
ever been negotiated, but it is understood that
the entire issu Is on deposit in the Bank of
Montreal as ollateral for loans made to Mr.
Barlow by the bank, the Canadian Pacific
syndicate, or both. AS the Canadian Pacific
apparently can get no other outlet to the At
lantic seaboard, it has been ex pected for some
time that this purchase must eventually be
made
The Grand Trunk has undoubtedly secured
a close and permanent alliance with the Cen
trail Vermont and definitely decided to make
that its eastern outlet The Grand Trunk is
to take a large block OF the Centraps new
mortgage bonds, and it is stated that these
will be recommended TO the Grand Trunk
shareholders in England, on the understand
ing that business enough will be furnished the
Central from the Grand Trunk alone to pay
the interest, and as Mr.. Hickson, the general
manager and American autocrat of the Grand
Trunk, has become a member of the Central
board Of direction, it would appear that he in-
tends to haveea voice and part In the manage
ment and application OF these earnings Indi-
running of engines, cars and train men
through to Montreal which was never done
before, new time arrangements by which the
roads are practically made Que, aud close inter-
eourss between the executive officers"

Work of the I.ionor snariffs.

The liquor deputies have made l02 seizures
this month. Nine hundred dollars have been
paid in fines into the Municipal Court, and
there have been IA appealed cases. The past
week they made % seizures and
secured SS7 GALLONS of ale, 19S gallons of lager,
and 93 gallons of hard liquors.
Saturday evening Deputies Sterling and
Gribben, and Officers Pickett and Stevens
made raid on Blake's eating saloon on Mid
die street. and secured six cases of lager.
One day last week, at No. 10 Pleasant
street, Deputies Gribben and Sterling hunted
the cellar and finally found on the Pleasant
street side the wall was not solid. An iron
frame had been set into the wall, board put
against the frame, and the stone was split very
thin and laid with mortar ON the board, the
whole naturally representing solid wall. The
layers of stone and boards removed, door was
exposed, which being pried up, access was OBJ
tanned to sort of ante-room, four feet by six
dug ont and we'll planked up. In this place
nothing was found, but by digging into the
wall door was discovered leading to another
chamber, and it took the officers fully an hour
to open the second door. it yielding at last to
the bar, falling downward, showing that if
you only knew how you could get in easy
enough by touching a spring at the top. The
second room was quite large, and contained
the barrels. Both the barrels were on tap,
having common outlet in large hose lead
ing up through the wall, between the sill and
the brick underpinning, to the room above.
The hose was SO arranged that when not in
use it would fall down completely out of sight.

good spirits. and expressed themselves well
pleased with the ride and its incidents. In the
afternoon the tourists enjoyed the freedom of
the town, and at night were given supper at

At Robbinston, the first stopping place after
leaving PASSPORT, stop was made at the Brew
er House, where a first class dinner was
promptly served, the hungry wheelmen being
so vociferous for soup that the landlady in her
excitement was constrained to say 'Don't eat
80 much soup, gentlemen, there is second
course" and there was with bountifni yarie-
ty, but her exclamation became o by -word to
be repeated at every NEAL

them, the characteristic reply:-"Ob, yes; I'm
liar myself"

On Monday, June 25th between the hours of
0 and 10 o'clock in the forenoon, Adam Fore
paugh's Great Railroad Show will appear upon
the streets in professional order Our ex-
changes from the places where the establish
ment has exhibited assert in extent and magni-
iicence this display exceeds all spectacular or
show parades ever made by any exhibition In
the United States
The procession is led by the beautiful pageant
illustrating the departure of Lalla Rookh from
Delhi The lovely princess, who is personi-
fed by the handsomest woman in America, is
seen seated in q genuine East Indian Howdah,
upon the back of kingly elephant Maids of
honor, servitors, and all the pomp and wealth
OF an Eastern monarch's court, surround her.
Another most attractive and novel feature of
the parade is the presentation, for the first
time in America, of the fascinating Egyptian
spectacle, Cleopatra iourneying to meet
Mark Anthony" The famous and beautiful
queen is personated, seated in magnificent
barge ablaze with gold, and all the surround
ings are in keeping with the account given by
the most reliable historians OF this remarkable
regal journey. Then follow at intervals, not
ablaze with gold and glitter land wide-opened
dens OF wild beasts, gayly caparisoned eAmeis
and ponies and the costly stud OF race-borses
recently imported for the hippodrome races.
and members Of The company richly robed and
mounted together with three bands Of music
not including the patriotic IndependenceDrum
and Fife Corps a band of Egyptian harpists,
and pedestrians, calliopes, and other meehan-
ical musical inventions.
An instructive as well as humorous feature
of the pageant is the appearance of a real slave
singing band of old-time old plantation
darkies. All were formerly slaves, not one Of
them has ever been away from the South, and,
seated upon cotton bales, in genuine South
ern mule team this band of freedmen sing, as
the procession moves, the campmeeting
melodies and songs OF the slave cabins, as was
customary in slavery days.
All the costumes, all the trappings are new,
and are pronounced the finest ever seen in any
similar demonstration, were made in Paris
and London, expressly for Mr. Forepau gh.
Our readers residing ont OF town should reach
here by nine in the forenoon, in order to be-
hold this grand free-for -all holiday parade.
