RAILROAD MATTERS.

The Central Vermont railroad has open
ed the new road from Magog to Sher-
brooke
1t is said that the bondholders of the
Missisquoi railroad have formed, or are
about forming, Il new company to operate
that road.
The Boston and Lowell railroad has
withdrawn the Vermont division from
the color line through freight arrange
ment between the West and Portland
The Fitchburg Railroad Hoosac Tunnel
route commenced running Il fast express
train between Boston and Saratoga Mon
day, leaving Boston at 1870 Il. m, arriv
ing at Saratoga 5.15 p. m; returning,
leave Saratoga at 9.45 Il. m, arriving in
Boston at 40 p. m.
Judge Holmes of the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts announced on Friday that
he had decided to issue an injunction as
prayed for by the Boston and Albany
railroad company to restrain the Provl-
dence and Worcester Railroad Company
from crossing its tracks in Worcester IN
running what is known as the white
Mountain train"
1.-THE mayor of Philadelphia has signed
both of the Baltimore and OHIO railroad
ordinances, giving that company the right
of way through the city. This ends the
long controversy with the Pennsylvania
railroad, and the company has now moth
ing standing III the way of an entrance
but the permission to. construct bridge
over the Schuylkll River.
1t comes to us from an excellent source,
says contemporary, that the negotiations
for the control of the Passumpsic road by
the Boston and Lowell under ii lease are
well advanced and likely to be consum-
mated at an early date. The purchase of
the Southeastern line when the same is
sold under foreclosure will be the only re-
manning step to be taken to secure the
long -desired through line to Montreal
under what Is practically one manage
ment
The Passumpsic railroad have put two
new parlOr cars upon their road to run on
the night train between Quebec and
Springfield. These cars are of entirely
new design, known as the Monarch par
lor-sleepers,' built by the Gilbert com
pany OF Troy, \. y. For day use each
Cur has twenty luxurious easy chairs,
which at night fold down to the floor and
the car come stecl-springcd hair mattress
| beds, Wltn the necessary partitions, uraI
| cries. etc. Besides the main saloon each
car has Il gentlcmen's smoking room, Ia
dies retiring room and buffet.
! a bill is pending in the New Hampshire
| legislature to rcOrGauiZe the Portland and
| OgdenSburg road 1t authorizes the con
struction of road from the western ter
minus at Faybans to the eastern terminus
of the St. Johnsbury and Lake Cham
plain at SCOTS mills. The Boston and
Maine favors this, and the Boston aud
Lowell opposes it. If it is granted it will
enable the Boston and Maine to reach
Vermont, and perhaps in time to estah
fish northern and western connections
which were said to have been in'contem
plation when the Boston and Lowell ac
quired control of the St Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain.
