prevail The music of the evening was fur
nished by the members of the society. The or
ator Of the evening, Mr.. w. w. Buchanan, spoke

gentleman, and showed the superior
ity of the philanthropy of Gladstone,

Where the Hitch Is.

The foreclosure of the mortgage and sale Of
the l., P & G. railroad is delayed and seriously
complicat the recent filing in the Wabash
case of the cross- bill of the First National Bank
of Cobleskill, N. Y, and others. This Cross
bill recites that in 1871 the l., P. g. G. company,
for the purpose of obtaining control Of the G..
c. g. I. road from Peru to La Porte, and estab-
fishing through line, agreed to and did guaran-
tee the payment of 1861. 900 of the Co. &C. g L.
bonds OF these guaranteed bonds the cross
complainants own half million dollars worth.
While this obligation was outstanding, the cross
bill AYERS that the l., p. & G. company, in 1881,
made pretended lease Of its property to the
WABASH company for forty years In payment
for this lease the Wabash company executed and
delivered to the L. P. & g. company 100000
Of its bonds, and the l., P. 81 @. folks then put
mortgage on their own property to secure these
Wabash bonds. The cross-bill AYERS that the
stockholders of the l., P. & G.. company then di
vided these bonds among themselves. The
whole l. P. g. G. mortgage to Wager Swayne,
trustee is averred to be without consideration
and fraud, and to have been made for the pur-
pose of cutting out the general creditors of the
road, and in particular these guaranteed bond
holders Ademurrer has been fled to this cross
bill BY Wager Swayne, trustee, by Harrison,
Miller e Elan, his solicitors. Mcdonald. But
Ter g. Mason and Carey & Whitridge, of New
York, appear as solicitors for the cross-complain
ants.

light rails. If there is any object to change to
standard guage it is to largely increase our coal
and other tonnages and with any increase over

would not last year More business can be
done on the present rail as a narrow gauge than
with the same rail spread for heavy standard

would probably change the road to the above de-
plorable condition and settle with the Car and

able to place a mortgage of the above amount at
about par

tial promise to do any thing and we believe thatif
the requisite number OF stockholders could be
found to vote for such ortgage. which we doubt,
the result would be disastrous. We are entirely
satisfied with the present management of the
road, with what it has done and is capable of do
ing, and will give it our support, and il anyone
without mature thought has given proxies to
those who are trying to remove it, we advise
them carefully to consider the matter and to de-
eide whether it is not better to give their sup
port to q management which so far has done
well than to one of which they can know little
or nothing

A Second Pullman.

Under the above head the Buffalo Express
says: "a second Pullman will soon rear its
head, if the signs do not fail, at East Buffalo,
where the New York Central Sleeping-car Com
pany is about to build shops. The company has
in service about 400 cars, and in building at
East Buffalo has arranged for facilities for the
construction of eighty cars at a time The ex-
tent of the work which it intends to Go is shown
in the fact that it will employ 1000 to 1000 me-
chanics. The contract for the erection of the
buildings has been awarded to Mr.. W. r.
Hayens, who built the West Shore shops, Of
which these are practically an enlargement
The most important of these will be car shop
700 feet long and 100 wide, having a car trans
fer in front the same size as the building. An
other shop similar to the car shop will be built,
which will be 300 feet long and 100 feet wide. A
machine shop SOFIA feet will connect two Of the
shops already built. The Office of the superin-
tendent of construction and repairs, with his
staff of clerks. will be in a two story brick build
ing 2Ox50 feet. planing-mill 250x74 feet will
also be built, with boiler and engine house
60x40 feet. These buildings are but the first of
those to be erected, and will nearly all be

Miscellaneous Notes.

Although the island Of Jersey is not more than
thirteen miles in length and six miles il breadth,
il possesses nearly Ave hundred miles of road.
President Sloan, Of the Lackawanna, says
there is no truth in the report that the employees
of his road intended to strike.
The Fitchburg railroad has settled some thirty
claims in connection with the recent accident at
Bardswel The responsibility for the final pay
ment between the railroad and the Common
wealth still remaius an unsettled question
Referring to trunk lines harmony under de-
pressing conditions the Boston Commercial Bull
letin says it was common remark OF the late
Commodore Vanderbilt that railroads never
quarreled when business was good. If he had
lived until now he would see the same railroads
existing in most perfect harmony when business
is exceedingly bad.
The Manitoba company has given the contract
to Shepherd & Co.. of St. Paul, for building the
line from Crookston toward Duluth as far as
Leecn lake. 1t is believed here the whole
branch, which is known as the Crookston q Du-
luth, will be speedily built Yesterday morning

gan the extension of the road west from Devils
lake.
The Southern Pacific company, Pacific system,

ton from San Francisco For the better accom-
mediation of local and through passengers to
and from and via El Paso, interchanged with the
Mexican Central railway, and the Texas Pacific
railroad the Pullman sleeplng-car service OF This
system will be extended to Ell Paso.
Chicago Business says: ''The trunk-line pool
fellows boast that Jewett resigned to avert the
boycotting' of the Chicago & Atlantic by the
pooled lines and their connections, and that
hereafter that road will be found in line If it
be true that the G. & A. has been whipped in, it
only means that one more road will be slowly
starved to death for lack of business"
The Chicago, Burlington & Northern road is
now completed from Fulton ILL.,. northward to a
short distance beyond East Dubuque, with the
exception Of about five miles from the mouth of
Galena river to MenQuinee 1t is thought that
trains will be running between Fulton and Sa-
vannah by the middle of the present month. The
work of laying track on the Oregon line will be
commenced next Monday. The road bed is COM
pleted west to Polo Trains, it is asserted, will
be running on this line within ninety days.
1t is quite evident that the Jersey Central
owners are seeking for speedy divorce from the

by requested to prevent any further use of it's
tracks and terminals by the Reading, North
