RAILROAD MATTERS.
RumOrs OF the Consolidation Of the Cana.
dian Pacific and Grand Trunk Rail.
roads.


MONTREAL, Nov. 2.
The statement that loan has been effected
by the Canadian Pacific X. r. Co i, with Bar
ing Bros, although denied by the Canadian
Pacific officials, is believed to be not without
foundation Barring Bros. being financial
agents of the Grand Trunk Co it would
seem as if the securities of the two roads
we're getting into the same hands. Many ru-
mors are afloat here about the two companies
and practical amalk amstion is talked of.
One rumor has il that Jos. Hickson will soon
leave Canada and take the presidency or vice
presidency of the Grand Trunk Co. in Eng
land, and on the amalgamation of the two
Co.'S. will be president OF the entire system.
VIM. Wainwright, at present assistant mana
ger, will, it is said, become general manager
Of the two systems, and Mr.. Sargent retain
the position of traffic manager of the Grand
Trnnk, while Mr.. Olds will have charge of
the Canadian Pacific system, 1t is further said
that he will be executive of the board of
the combined companies in Canada and that
w. C. Van Horne will be chairman with a
salary equal to that of the president. Coupled
to these rumors is one to the effect that the
Dominion government will take over con-
troll of the two railways with imperial guar
antee. Further Developments are looked
for in a few days and though they may not
exactly take the shape outlined above the
best posted railroad men here believe the
above is as nearly correct as can be.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
How the Elections Effect the DEPART
ment Clerks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.
There has been no marked increase in the
number of applicans for leave of absence to
indicate that the clerks have gone home to
vote. The oldest employees say that there
has never been a year within their memory
when so few have gone home on election.
The greatest interest is taken in the contest
in New York and Virginia, but the republi-
can clerks have thought it prudent to remain
at their desks as there is comparatively
few democrats in the departments. Demo-
Gratis having votes in Maryland, Virginia and
New York have generally gone home. but
many who have not. Mr.. Jordan and Assist
ant Secretary Fairchild are still here. Fair
child is paired with Coon and some .others
who did not CT away formed pairs. Appoint
ment Clerk Higgins is in Baltimore. Quite
a number of colored voters are said to have
gone into Virginia. The Star says that
preachers in some of the colored churches

had to take voters into Virginia to vote and
they were urged to vote tor Mahones can
didates.

commercial fraud upon the revenues of the
country. Four or five of the leading whole

total amount of the swindle is $50, 600
There is much excitement in business circles

AN EXPLOSION
Ofa Boiler on a Steam Dredge, killing
SIX Persons.
New LONDON, Nov. 9.

New LONDON, Nov. g.
A terrible calamity. by which six lives
we're lost, occurred in q race Sunday night.
caused BY the explosion of boiler of steam
dredge No. 4. of the Atlantic Dredging Co.,
OF Brooklyn. The dredge had been EMPLOYED
on the providence river for four years and
In company with water tank, left Provi-
dence for New York at 8. .l5 Sunday morning,
in tow of tug c. C. Waite, Capt. Tweedy.
In order to keep the bilge clear steam pumps
on the dredge were kept At work. JUST be-
lore midnight when nearing Race Rock light,
capt. Iweedy, at the stern of the tug, noticed
moving light on the dredge and heard q
voice but could not distinguish the words, A
minute later he heard the explosion on the
dredge, saw the fire and smoke and steam.
The dredge sank Immediately and the stern
OF the tug was drawn under water before the
hawsers could be cleared The Waite was
Immediately put about but no trace of the
dredge, her crew or water tank could be
found. After searching in the vicinity for
half an hour the tug headed for this harbor,
arriving in the teeth of the easterly gale that
prevailed. As soon as the storm subsidized
the Waite again went out to Race in the hope
OF finding even the dead bodies of the
men who went down with the dredge, but
nothing could be found, not even a piece of
the dredge. The tug returned to port this
evening. The names of the men on the ILL
fated craft are not fully known ;,as far as can
be learned were Capt. Robt. Kent, Mate
Strobs, the steward, his brother, of Provi-
dence, deck hand known as Sandy, fireman,
whose name could not be ascertained, and a
Providence man who was working his passage
to Brooklyn. When the dredge left Provi-
dence there was large Newfoundland dog
on board. Tonight two young men at Block
Point, seven miles from here, saw the dog
swim to the shore and drop exhausted. They
took the dog to house near by, and he is
now gaining strength. 1t is probably the
only living thing that survived the explosion.
The distance from the place where the dredge
went down to where the dog landed is twelve
miles.
