RAILROAD MATTERS.
The New Movement of the Boston &
Lowell Road.
springfield Republican. /

springfield Republican,
A. B. Harris Of this city has sold out his
controlling interest in the st Johnsbury
& Lake Champlain railroad to parties
representing the Boston & Lowell, and
has resigned the presidency of that road.
The Boston 81 Lowell, through the Bos-
ton, Concord 81 Montreal, is seeking for a
new correction to Montreal by which to
relieve itself of any obligation to the Cen
trail Vermont. By this acquisition it
crosses the State of Vermont to Lake
been playing the Fitchburg against the
Lowell as Boston connection, and the
latter is trying to play the same game at
Montreal.
[St Johnsbury Caledonian.l
| The talk of the week has been the change
on the Lake road. Railroad men are close
mouthed, and that leaves the general pub
| lie to speculate Thsse who think they
know something about the matter make
| bury and its interests. They say that the
Lowell railroad have got possession of the
Lake road for the purpose of opening a
competing line from Boston to Montreal,
over the Boston q Lowell to Concord,
thence to Plymouth, Wells River, Marsh
| field, Hardwlck, and Sheldon. This pro-
gramme, if carried out, leaves st. Johns
bury out in the cold. The main Offices re-
pair shops, etc, will be somewhere else.
In this event good many people will
either leave town or be thrown out of a
| place, and the large sums of money invest
ed in the road from Lunenburg to Swan
ton were spent in vain.
| The other side represents the new strate-
gic movement as of great value to Yer
mont, and st. Johnsbury in particular.
1t is said that the Boston & Lowell road is
a wealthy and progressive corporation :
that whatever they assume they make to
succeed and that this people are extreme
ly fortunate in having the Lake road fall
into their hands. you pays your money
and takes your choice" Meanwhile it is
freely stated the offices of the road will
be removed the first of June and that the
main repairs will go even earlier.
LSwanton Scntry.l
Competition between railroads as well
as other business enterprises is for the
good of the public Under the new man
agement, the st .Johnsbury and Lake
Champlain road will be put in good order
It's rolling stock and all other equipments
will be increased and better facilities al
forded for passenger and freight trans
portation There will be no more ''pool-
ing" of freight rates with the Central
Vermont railroad but sharp competition
for freight and passengers between Mon
treal and Boston. 1t will be to the interest
of the Boston & Lowell road managers to
fully meet the demands of local freight
between SwantOn and Luuenburg, and
forwarders between those points will not
be neglected as formerly. The people of
Swanton and vicinity have special reason
for rejoicing over the strategic movement

Old Nelson Himself.
I)nrino the war General No,so,

During the war General Nelson was
given to experimenting personally the
crossing of rivers, and on one occasion
he made eight men jump into the water
and drag out q half-drowned mule.
After an experience of this kind he
came upon wagon-train stuck in the
mud. Major Igo quartermaster of the
Thirty-tifth Indiana regiment, was
working as hard as man could work
to get the wagon out, and had his men
in position for q lift when Nelson
rode up. Pushing his way close to the
major, Nelson roared out "D-n YOU.
sir, what's the matter with that
wagon?" Raising his hot face, the
major roared back: "You get out of
this, d-n you The wagons stuck in
the mud. Any id fool can see that. !"
"Do you know who / am, sir? Do you
know who am, sir? shouted Nelson.
in fury. Certainly I do" responded
the major; you are the pot-bellied
quartermaster of that Ohio regiment
in front, and you can't boss me around.
Nobody but old Nelson himself can do
that. Nelson chuckled, and rode
away.

The Dance Of Death,

Pixey Winter in New York Graphic.
And now let us take the results Of
two or three years of this confused and
exacting struggle. "The Dance OF
DEATH" which we had given us few
weeks ago in Life, tells a long story
and sad one.
Late hours How it is that our girls
lose their freshness" In the first little
picture the men seem to be bidding her
good night-as she stays on till 4 o'clock
in the morning they say good night at
2 o'clock-they are men with business
and professions. The men or boys
who can dance it out with her till five
are probably social tramps, who carry
no responsibilities, not even the support
of themselves. In The Graphic Mir
anda gave us drawing of the bebutante
and her prospects, poor lookout,
Judging from the physiogomy of her
adorers. Papa and mamma look very
thoughtful as they introduce her to
leave her to their mercy.
From point of choice in girls heart
history what is it all?
A blank.
Are there marriages? Yes. Many Of
them.
Are there divorces? Yes. Many
of them.
Now I must close with the "dancing
Glass;" to which some mothers think it
a good act to let their daughters belong
the year before they enter the world.
To these dances, of course, they go
alone. Almost school girls, they asso-
ciate with the grown men that they are
going to meet the following winter. ]
dc not hesitate to say that they do not
know how to behave themselves, and
there is no one to tell them. The
young men laugh and find ii fun. These
things, one and all, come from the
neglect of those who are responsible.
The girls have SO recently been chill
dren that much which they do and say
is hoydenish glrlhood- But before
friends alone shomld this De allowed to
manifest itself. 1t is:surely misunder-
stood anywhere else. These little
creatures have SO recently worn girls
dresses that they forget the present
privilege Of wearing them long, SO that
with this neglected privilege and the
prevailing "busselle" Gas heard for
eigner call it) black stockings are hes,
to wear either in dancing or sitting.
In speakingof these gifls, whether
they are ''out," or ''ln," they are MOI
put in the right light in regard tic
themselves. 1f women arctic represent
ideals to men the opportunity must not
be given to disenchant. They must not
be ignorant of the ways to be femi-
ninety attractive. Young 'womanhoodi is
too important, their uplifting power is
too essentia al to men for them to be al
lowed to spoil lit before they know
themselves about it. It is not through
vanity and dndeicate pushing that they
are to know how valuable and precious
to the we'll being o. the world they are
not as butterflies, ITO please, but often
through tears to hold up men who
would utterly go under but for their
belief in them. However, taking that
view of it, perhaps we had better let
them have as good;a time as they ecan
now!

LIGHTING TIE CITY STREETS.
THE COMPARATIVE MERITS OF GAS AND ELEc
TRICKY.

THE COMPARATIVE MERITS OF GAS AND ELEc-
TRICKY.
At meeting of the Board of Aldermen on
Friday q communication received from g. Nc
CprmIck superintendent Of Lamps and Gas, with m
estnae OF the cost for street illumination OF gas and
electrio light. states that the resolutions OF the
Cannon Council called for 2.003 additional electric
lights TO dspace 5,3i5 gas lamps, an equivalent Of
about two and half gas lamps for each electric light
placed.
This gives erroneous impression OF what has been
done In electric lighting in this city, the records show
that where electric lights have been placed thus far In
the city, they have displaced ling to location from
eight to twelve gas lights. This Is a great difference
from SIR. MoCoruIcts statement 1t not contem-
rated that all OF the recommended be lighted
by electric lights by the Common Council should be
lighted In year. and the cost stated In
Mr. McCormicks communication was not Intended to be
incurred at once, but possibly to DO extended over
several years.
The superintendent says: "I have discovered any
advantage which the electric light possesses that cannot
be obtained from gas lamps except the instantaneous
lighting"

for City Lighting should DO Ignorant OF what every
