RAILWAY MATTERS.
EASTERN RAILROAD COMPANY.

EASTERN RAILROAD COMPANY.
The directors of the Eastern Railroad Com
pany Thursday appointed a committee, con-
sisting of Gen. S. c. Lawrence and Messrs.
S. :E. Peabody and W. II. Hunnewell, to
meet the committee of the Boston & Maine,
appointed to consider the subject Of consoli-
dati0n.
THE TRUNK RATES.
The rate situation among the trunk lines
continues unsatisfactory. although there have
been no new developments threatening to
bring affairs to a crisis. The failure of the
Western managers at the recent Chicago
meeting to reduce dressed beef tariffs was
disappointment to the Vanderbilt roads,
which are favorable to reduction. The
combination of Chicago shippers is still spe-
cially fayoring the Grand Trunk of Canada
by reason of the enormous difference In
rates in its favor now allowed by Commits
sioners Fink and Blanchard, but 1t is charg-
ed that many of the American lines are Sc
cretly making allowances below the regular
schedules In order to secure some share of
the traffic. 1t is believed that ere long there
will be another conference on the dressed
beef question. Commissioner Fink has been
unable to stop all the underhand methods by
which west bound freight rates are being cut
although he is working to do so.
GRAND TRUNK.
Confirmation is made Of the story Of pro-
jected addition to the subsidiary lines of the
Grand Trunk. 1t is stated that meeting of
the Grand Trunk stockholders will be held
in London, June 7th, for the ratification or
rejection of certain traffic contracts with the
Chicago & Grand Trunk and Toledo, Sagi-
nav & Muskegon roads. The stockholders
are urged in the call for the meeting to con-
slider the importance and advantage Of the
Muskegon line as feeder to the Grand
Trunk system. In view OF the doubling Of
OF the main line between Montreal and To-
ronto, the increased Importance is pointed
out that the country tributary to the system
should be enlarged and the Detroit. Grand
Haven Milwaukee be protected from COM
petition. which, if the Muskegon company
were in other hands, might be very injurious
1t is intimated also that the company may
also conclude to put on line of steamships
between the Atlantic ports and England.
After the new Union depot goes into oper-
alton In Portland, the trains on the Grand
Trunk will run from Island Pond to Boston
without change of cars in this city.

we pledge anew our abiding faith In the
eternal justice Of their cause. Our children

their names highest upon the rolls of them

There strolled into the Texas head
quarters at the Planters an elderly Ger.
man of modest demeanor, who. on being
addressed by the reception committee.
introduced himself as E.. G. Maetza of
Austin, n a delegate. Every attention
was shown him as an elderly man, but
instead of becoming easy and responding
freely to conversational oyertures he
showed great embarrassment and soon
retired. In the afternoon he came again.
when only the committeeman was pres.
ent, and this time proved himself not
only a pleasant, courteous gentleman.
but a splendid conversationalist and n
political economist of wide reading. He
is a school teacher in Austin, where he
has resided since 1850, and is an Ameri-
can citizen from necessity as well as
choice. In 1S48 he was a member of the
the Prussian national assembly,
body convened, as he saws.

had never had before;'' and in 1S49 Nr
