Differ In Their Views.

The ugly break in east bound freight rates was
the chief topic of conversation yesterday among
railroad men and shippers, majority of whom
look upon it as being unfortunate TO the business
interests of the couutry, as, until the roads earn
more money, they will not be able to purchase
steel rails, buy equipments. or make other
needed improvements which will set the various
industries of the country in healthy motion.
Several prominent freight men were asked their
views about the situation, and when they
thought there would be a restoration of rates
and honorable maintenance of the same.
One general freight agent answered
rates would be restored when some
of the - fools handling the rail-
ways were dead" The second answered
when the manipulators of railroad stocks and
bonds on New York Stock Exchange quit ''bull-
ing ana bearing stocks on the earnings Of the
ro"ds A third said when the roads were bank
: ted fourth said when the four leading
a weathiest roads of the country-namely,
tn New York Central, the Delaware 81 Lack
awanna, the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore 81
Ohio-had gathered under their wings all such
roads rs the West Shore. the Nckel-plate, the
l., B. q W., the Lake Erie g. Western. the Ohio
d. Mississippi and all other roads which
paIalleled the roads named to such
an extent as to affect their traffic. The
fifth freightman said it looked to him as if the
trunk-lne arrangements lacked confidence in
each other, and the fear that one of the four
five trunk lines would head off the other in some
scheme to secure business kept them all in hot
water, and rates were thereby demoralized.

A JuSt and Deserved Tributs so Gen.
Phelps from an IAtimate Military
Friend.


From the New York Times, Feb. a.
To the Editor Of the Neso York Times.
Gen. John W. Phelps of Vermont, whose
death was announced in your issue OF this
morning, was one of the most notable officers
of the army. He was an accomplished SOL
der of the highest and best type, patriotic
citizen with an unblemished reputation, a
scholar we'll versed in mathematics, science,
history, theology, several of the dead and
four or Ave of the living languages. As a
soldier he was all that the best authorities de-
mand, and even more, for it might be said of
him that he possessed an inner sense OF duty
which no written formula could prescribe.
It was his faithful care, intelligence, and
attention to his whole duty as q commanding
officer, and above all his example Of indefati.
gable industry, which made his command one
Of the best disciplined, best drilled and most
efficient in the whole army. He was not
much Of believer in the extra unoffcal-off-
duty dress parade business which TO many of.
fcers who were mere pOsears seemed to be of
so very much importance. Neither was he
martinez. He had the rare good sense to ao.
cept the volunteer army for exactly what it
was. He weighed its defects and measured
its virtues, and governed the performance of
his duties accordingly. He knew he conld
trust its patriotic sense of duty and intelli-
gence to initiate a good example, and its will
ingness to follow where it could not be driven;
and there never was commanding officer
more implicitly obeyed or more conhdingly
trusted. 1t was my good fortune TO have
been ordered to his command at Newport
News, Va, soon after the breaking out Of the
rebellion in the spring of 1861. When re-
ported to him with my regiment, was given
to understand that We were engaged 10 most
serious undertaking, involving as ii did the
national life, and that we could only hope to
overcome our foes by taking advantage of all
our resources (he was the first to urge the Or
ganization Of negro troops) and moulding our
raw material into a well-disciplined army !;
that the accomplishment of the latter was the
immediate work in hand and work he made
of it, such as many of us had never dreamed
of before but we saw the necessity for labor
aud the good sense involved In his orders and
criticisms, and all worked with will officers
and men, to reward the great industry of a
commander who had won our affection, admi-
ration and deep respect
We went TO him as children go to a school,
and left him after three months tuition

THE RECORD MATCH AT OAK GROVE RANGE,
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1885-02-06

The country has had its fill of sensations on
account Of the dynamiters this week. In ad-
dition to those elsewhere recorded, on Mon
day afternoon young woman giving the
name Of Mrs. Yseult Dudley contrived to get
oDonovan Rosa, the Irish agitator, into
Chambers street, in front of the Stewart
building, when she stepped behind him, drew
revolver, and fred five shots at him, only
one of which took effect. This entered the
muscles of the back and he fell to the side
walk, but afterwards was able to walk TO the
hospital with assistance. The wound is not
serious, and Rosa will be out in few DAYS.
The young woman, who claims to be from
England, showed no excitement, and declines
to say why she shot Rosa 1t is supposed
that her head has been turned by the opera.
tions of the English dynamiters, and that she
fanoies herself the avenger of the wrongs OF
her countrymen. She was arrested and held
to await the result Of Rossa's wound. She ia
believed to be the same person who was ar.
rested in London few months ago for max
ing An attempt on her own life.

Timothy s. HoltoD, a highly respected
resident of Dunellen, N. j., was found in
his bed last Saturday morning In q dying
condition from the effect OF inhaling coal
gas. He had always been an early riser, and
not being up for two or three hours beyond
his usual time a member Of his family enter
ed his room and found him in a dying condi.
ton. The strong smell of gas pointed con-
olusively to the cause. The windows we're

proper remedies his life was held. as II were,
in balance for more than SO hours before
any hopeful signs of recovery could be seen
Up to Monday night he lay In oomatose
condition, but symptoms were favorable to
his restoration. The pipe attached to the
stove became disjointed, allowing the gas to
escape. Mr.. Holton was formerly a resident

The electoral vote will be counted next
week Eight years have elapsed since the
country was brought to the very verge of a
social war by a dispute which everybody
declared must not be permitted to occur
again, and the result of the recent election
turned on a narrow majority in the great
state of New York. Yet the situation re-
mains precisely as it was when the wrangle
broke out over the votes of the three South
ern states in 1876. Several plans have been
proposed, two of them at least, excellent and
practical, but none of them has been adopt
ed, and it is not likely that any of them will
be adopted. Party considerations and the
jealousies always existing between the two
branches of Congress, aided by the prone
ness of the public to let everything drop out
of sight which is not of urgent necessity
these are the causes to which must be attrib-
uted state of things alike dangerous and
disgraceful.
