A Monster Diamond

The cutting of a diamond believed TO be the
largest ever cut in this country has just been
completed at the establishment of Mr.. Henry
d. Morse in this city, the process having oc-
cupied something more than three months.
The stone was found in South Africa and was
imported by Messrs. L. & NJ. Kahn of New
York, its weight in the rough state being
nearly 125 karats. The work Of cutting it WAS
begun on September 20, and from that day un-
til the 14th inst, the stone was constantly ON
the wheel, excepting on Sundays and holidays.
Mr.. @. NJ. Field, the foreman of the establish
ment conducting the process, under the super.
vision OF Mr.. Morse. The gem as perfected il
very brilliant and beautiful though it Is not
perfect In color, marked yellowish tiuge per
vading 1t. In the quality of clearness how
ever, the stone is almost perfection, the only
oiemlsh being SO slight as to be perceived with
olfhculty 5y the naked eye. As cut it weighs
" karats. 1t is cut in a rounded cushion
shape with 90 facets, its size being n arly
full inch across, and its depth little more
than i've eighths OF an inch. The cntting is
mathematically correct, each facet being .
perfect figure, while all the angles are so NICE
ly related to each other as TO secure most
brilliant effect. The table and culet are per-
feet octagons, and some idea of the immensity
OF the stone may be gathered from the TACT
that the former measures nearly half An inch
from side to side, while the latter is as large
as quite respectable sized diamond. In arti-
fetal light the stone is extremely brilliant, and
the play of prismatic colors is beautiful. The
yellowish tinPe disappears IA artificial light.
The value of this stone, which is abont Two.
thirds as large as the celebrated Koh-i-noor
diamond, tue weight of which is 1924 karats.
cannot be stated, diamonds Of such unnsnai
size having no absolute value. As the urirer
once beard speculstor in precious stones saw:
"a A big diamond is worth inst what ar ..1iSs.
will sell for and the buyer is willing 10 paw.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
A New Combination.

Contracts have been prepared and are now
ready for signatures by which New York, Yer
mont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts rail-
roads will form an all rail line for freight traf-
nc TO and from Western points in connection
with the New York Central and its copnoc-
tions from Syrscuse. The parties to the agree
.ment are the Rome, Watertown and Ogdens-
sSgs Ogdensburg. and Lake Champlain, St.
JohDsbufsaSd Lake Champlain, Connecticut
and Passumpsic, .cston, Concord and Montre-
al, Northern, Concord; al Boston and Lowell
1t is not probable that large qraz ties of freight
will reach Boston from the West vnthis round
about line, but for certain portions Of Nolbern
Vermont and New Hampshire the traffic wl,.
be of some consequence. The lake and rail
line referred to includes all the roads mention
cd with the exception OF the Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg The object of the agreement
Is to open up line between Boston and inter
mediate parts to Ogdensburg. at Ogdensbure
conre ection will be made with propellers run
ning TO lake points via the Welland Canal
The distance from Boston 10 Ogdensburg via
this line is All miles against 406 via the Central
Vermont. The present agreements refer only
to freight traffic, but in the early spring it ID
proposed to establish o line of through cars be-
tween Boston and Ogdensburg, including Pull
man sleepers and drawing room cars
Minor Notes.
The new purchase of the Maine Central near
the transfer station is being levelled by the
steam N shovel. 1t is expected the buildings will
be completed this year.

AQUATIC.


Although Teemer, in an interview at Pitts
burg, expressed his intention to accept Peter
Fl. Conley's challenge for a scullers' race of
three, four or five miles for any reasonable
amount of money, no formal acceptance Of the
challenge was forwarded at the time he made
the statement. He communicated with his
hacker in Chicago however, and that gentle
man last Thursday forwarded by mail letter
OF acceptance for Teemer. Not having seen Q
formal acceptance of the challenge, Conleys
representative, Mr.. William Spelman, tsle-
graphed the Boston Herald for Information,
and Saturday the letter Of acceptance, and also
kilograms from Teemer and his hacker, were
received, thereby setting aside any doubt of
the acceptance. Teemer's telegram read as
follows:
