RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from
Near and Afar.

A large iron side-wheeI steamer is to be
built for the Tampa and Key West Route,
and will be ready in time for this winters
business. She will be 230 feet in length,
and fitted up in the usual style in which

habit of arranging its boats. The steamer.
of course, Will run in connection with the

Virginia and Georgia Railroad has had a
route, or several of them, gone over by
which to connect it's lines with Savannah,
with view of making it its Atlantic

route for its freights. The financial con-

MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS.
Arthur Flattered, But the Delegates Not
Told to Vote for Him.


Boston, April 30.-The Republican
State Convention was organized, with II.
c. Lodge as temporary Chairman and Mr..
Flagg as Secretary. Mr.. Lodge made an
address referring to the redemption of the
State from the rule Of General Butler by
the election of Gov. Robinson.
Hon. John ID. Long was made perma-
nent President. He addressed the con-
ventiOn for about an hour. He said that
While the Massachusetts delegation to the
National Convention favored the nomina-
ton of Geo. +. Edmunds for President and
the son of the illustriOus Abraham LIN
coin for Vice President, it would not 90
there with a factiOus disposition. A letter
was read from Gov. Robinson declining a
candidacy as a delegate. The convention
resolved to ballot for elegates-at-large
upon one ballot. The first ballot resulted
in the choice of George T. HOar, w. W.
Crapo, John D. Long and Henry Cabot
Lodge.
The platform declares adherence to Repub-
lican principles; that it is the duty of the Ma
tional Government to protect the freedom Of
the ballot in every state; advocates
the necessary revenue, shall fa-
vor the labor and industrial enterprise
Of the country; condemns the arbitrary per-
cenage reduction proposed by the present
Democratic House of Representatives recog-
nizes in the progressive changes in the indus
trial conditions the necessity for an investiga-
tion of the tariff upon scientific basis to the
end that it may be considered as to its real IN
fluence upon labor, capital, production and
revenue; believes that a sound currency based
on specie in conformity to the monetary stand
ard of the world is of the great
est Importance to the permanence of busi-
ness prosperity and to our industrial in
terest, and opposes further silver coinage.
we record our sense of the eminent ser
vices of President Arthur, whose able, faith
ful and dignified discharge of the duties of the
executive Office, to which he was called under
trying circumstances, has secured to him the
cordial esteem, not at all alone Of his party.
| but of his country. Having full confidence in
the capacity and integrity of our representa- =
tives to the National Convention we feel
assured that they viii act together for the
best interests Ofthe country. The Republicans
of Massachusetts demand as their candidate
for President, man Of proved fidelity in
public life and whose relations to the party
are such that all its members can heartily
unite in his support. The convention requests
the coming National Convention to provide
that in all future National Conventions repre-
sentatiOn shall be prOpOrtiOnate to the Re-
publican votes cast for President in the last
preceding Presidential election.

Claim Agent Swind1es.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-It is a very
significant fact that, growing out of the
many schemes before Congress for eX-
tending the present and making new PEN
sion and bounty laws, about 500 letters
per day are received at the Second Audi
tors office, from ex-Union soldiers, max
ing inquiries concerning claims for
bounty, which they have been induced to
file by the fraudulent representations of
claim agents. No bounty act has been
passed by Congress since 1866, and the
circulars which are sent out to persuade
soldiers and widows, minor children and
parents of deceased soldiers to apply for
additional bounty are simply swindling
devices to enable the claim agent to exact
a fee for filing a claim which he knows
will never be paid. The same mode of
swindling is practiced in pension cases.
