pany.
One hundred men have been discharged from
the shops of the Central Vermont, at st. Adams,
and quite number at Rutland. 1t is common
practice at the beginning OF winter.

northward from Dallas to the Red river. Subsi-
dies are beng pledged by the towns and counties
along the entire route
A new ventilater operated on the principle of
induced currents has been put on the private

of the car, the amount of draft being regulated
| by simple means.

The New York, New Haven g. Hartford will
abandon its freight depot on Center and Frank

| suits of President Adams's tour last spring, is
seen in the new special rate of 30 cents per one
hundred pounds upon paving blocks and build

| The outlook for. all Texas e. Pacific stock
| holders looks bluer than ever because it is now
| admitted that the necessity of repairs is so
| urgent that, even if the receiver were to spend
the entire income on the road, the surplus after
operating expenses would be insufficient to pay
for what work is needed.

Legislature of Connecticut this winter for ex-
tension of the time for building them.

earned upon the trunk lines east OF chicago, and
are less than the rate per ton per mile earned by
| the railroads Of such old and prosperous coun-
| tries as Great Britain, Belgium, France and
Germany.
