STATE AFFAIRS.

Mr.. Edward II. Phelps, son of Hon. Ed
ward j. Phelps of Burlington, graduate of
Yale college aud a civil engineer by profess
sion, died on Thursday. Mi. Phelps had
held several responsible positions, among
them city engineer of Burlington and assist
ant engineer of the PapRma railroad. At the
time of his death he was chief engineer of
the Michigan Central railroad, and his last
important work was in connection with the
famous cantilever bridge at Niagara Falls, of
the construction of which he had the general
supervision. Mr.. Phelps's funeral was held
at Burlington.
The stockholders of the st. Johnsbury
and Lake Champlain railroad company held
a special meeting at st. Johnsbury on Thurs
day, March 20, and unanimously voted, by a
stock vote of 80, 443 shares, to issue consoli-
dated mortgage bonds for the purpose of lay
ing the road with steel rails and the purchase
of additional rolling stock. This action is
taken in anticipation Of the increased traffic
expected in consequence of the completion
of the road between Rouse's Point. the ter.
miuation of the Ogdensburg Lake Cham
plain railroad and Swanton, the end of the
st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain railroad,
for which VIM. II. Vanderbilt and others
furnished the money, and which was COM
pleted about the first of January. The COM
pany have recently bought three new engines
and made arrangements to buy two or three
more and have also contracted for the laying
of 5000 tons of steel rails before July /. At
the present price of steel rails and equip
ment, being only about half the cost in 1880,
this railroad will have a great advantage in
putting its road into frst-class shape.
