RAILWAY MATTERS.
FranEIin County Railroa DIS.

Col. A. W. Wildes of Skowhegan, Hon. j.
F. Anderson of Portland, and ex-senator Da-
vd N. Mortland of Rockland, the Maine Rail-
road Commissioners, arrived in Pennington
Wednesday, from Strong, where they had Civ
en- a hearing the previous evening to the
friends of the Franklin & Megantic railroad,
who desired them to grant the necessary certi-
ficate of corporation, and were in session at
Pennington during the day, deliberating upon
the matter. They finally granted the certifi.
cate. The necessary documents have been for
warded to the Secretary Of State, and a Q har-
ter of the Franklin & Megantio Railroad Com
pany will be issued during the week from his
office. Great public interest was manifested,
and large concourse of citizens from the
towns on the line were present. An immedi-
ate survey will probably be made, and a petit
tion of approval of location filed at an early
day. In the evening in the Municipal Court
room, the commissioners gave hearing in re-
gard to approving the location of the Franklin
& Somerset railroad. In this case, as stated
before, the commissioners withheld their de-
cision.
New York & New England.
The Boston Journal of Friday, says:
The indications are quite strong that the op-
position to the appointment of receiver at
Hartford the other day, will not, at least, for
the present stand in the way of harmonizing
the operation of the road. 1t is understood
that in case future developments of the COM
pany appear to require that the receivership
shall exist for a heightened period, co-receiv-
er will be asked for in the interest of the oppo-
sition. In our columns yesterday it was sug-
gested that If Col. French had withdrawn
from the meeting at Hartford there would not
have been O quorum. His withdrawal, we
understand, would have caused some inconve-
nience with no change of result, for director
resident in Connecticut, was ready to put in
an appearance at once if his presence was alb
solately required
