Y. NJ. G. A. Notes.
Secretary Page returned from his
vacation trip Friday and is now on
duty at the association rooms.
State Secretary George S. Avery is
engaged for the month in holding Cos
pei meetings in the smaller places in
this section of the state. Last Sunday
he conducted the meeting at North
Danville. This week he is holding
services in Bethel.
The young mems meeting Sunday
evening was we'll attended G.. E. Put
ney gave the young men very prac-
teal and helpful talk.
At the monthly meeting of the asso-
citation Saturday evening Heyt Hill
read paper on the growth and pro-
gress of the Y. M. c. AS. of the coun-
try. Aside from the regular monthly
reports there was nothing else of espe-
cial interest. The membership fee
question does not come up until the
September meeting.
Secretary Page is preparing to issue
a new paper to be devoted to the in
terests of the Y. NJ. c. A. 1t will be
issued monthly at a nominal price and
it is hoped will be of practical use in
carrying on the work of the local Or

Railroad Matters.
The following order was issued from
President MOrey's office last week: Col.
A. B. Jewett having accepted the po-
sition of vice president of the st.
JOhnsbury & Lake Champlain railroad
company, the duties of superintendent
of the Vermont division will be per-
formed by w. A. Stowell until further
notice, with Office at Woodsville, N. H.
In relation to the rumors that have
prevailed concerning the Boston &
Maine taking the B. & L. road, a cor
respondent of a Boston paper says:
Despite the natural reticence of the
Maine and Lowell officials, | believe
the railroad map of New England will
witness vaster alterations in the next
few years than it has in the past. The
question of taking the Lowell has been
discussed in the Boston & Maine board,
and one of the directors who is a very
large holder of Eastern securities is
understood to have opposed any steps
toward the acquisition of the Lowell.
The statement that has been some
what credited that the action of the b..
& L. road in shipping its freight east
instead of down the Passumpsic road
meant war between these corporations
is declared to be without foundation.
The B. & L. prefer to carry Gheir
freight over their own rails than to
pay another road for doing it. Last
month there were shipped through
from here to White River Junction
400 loaded cars from the Lake road.
So far as we can ascertain the two cor
porations are on friendly terms.
No official announcement has as yet
been made of the leasing of the Pas
sumpsic to the Connecticut River road,
though rumOrs are not wanting that
negotiations to this end are in progress.
