RAILROAD MATTERS.
The Combination of the Canadian
Pacific and the 500.

New YORK, August 21.-A Herald special
from Chicago says the Canadian Pacific and
500 line put in effect Monday the following
tariff from New York and Boston to st.
Paul: First class, 60 cents; second class, 50
cents; third class, Al cents; fourth class, %
cents; fifth class, % cents, and sixth class, 21
cents. These are the same as the lowest
differential rates (National Dispatch) made
from New York and Boston to Chicago, and
10 cents lower on first class than regular
rates to Chicago. The Chicago and st. Paul
roads, therefore, to compete with Canadian
Pacific and 500 lines competition, would
have to take first class freight from Chicago
to st. Paul if received from the National
from the Vanderbilt, Pennsylvania or other
regular lines, they would have to pay the
shipper bonus of 10 cents per 100. Judg-
ing by the talk of the managers of the Lake
Superior transportation companies, they also
mean to make through rates to st. Paul from
the seaboard via Duluth the same as rates to
Chicago. 1t will be impossible, under exist
ing circumstances, for the Chicago-St. Paul
roads to compete for Eastern through traffic
unless they mean to do the hauling from
Chicago to st. Paul gratis, and it is doubtful
even then if they would get share of the
traffic.

CONCORD, N. e., August 21.-Meetings of
the Concord and the Boston, Concord &
Montreal railroads have been called to ratify

Locomotive Engineers. Is to visit Minneapo-
lis on Saturday, and engineers within
radius of 200 miles have been invited to meet
him. 1t is announced to be ''social' meet
ing, but it is nevertheless believed that i'm
portant business is to be discussed at the
conference. Local engineers say, however,
that there is nothing in the situation to cali
MIR. Arthur except in social way.

OF True Z. Pierce, who has removed to Fort

KENNEBEc COUNTY.
w. G. Jack & Co, last week purchased the
woolen mill property at Gardiner, which has
so long been idle, or nearly so. They have
been using part Of 1t for several weeks In
picking sh0ddy, and will remove their rag
business to the mill, and will manufacture
sh0ddy on more extensive scale, and may
perhaps later manufacture woolens. They
are now building new bulkhead to the
hume and making other repairs in the base
ment Of the mill.
A novel scheme Is being talked up TO se-
cure cheap heating for the insane hospital.
Half mile from the building Is located the
steam mill Of the Augusta Lumber Company
and It Is proposed to erect big steam boiler
there, a pipe connecting 1t with the hospital
to carry the steam. Fuel can be furnished
at the mill Tor comparatively small sum, as
much Of the refuse which heretofore has
been dumped into the mill or given away can
be used in making fire. Thus through the
pipe the steam will find its way into the
hospital radiators, and the cost to the insti-
tuition viii be so much less than under the
old system that II will be an object for the
trustees to adopt the new system.
The $4,000 bond Of Col. j. A. Clark, the

A Serious Difference.

GRAND FORKS, OAK, Aug. 2l.-A sensa-

lawyers discovered serious differen CO be-
tween the constitution and the enabling act
passed by Congress. All State institutions
were located in the constitution, and the
public lands granted by Congress were divi-
ded. The lawyers find that Congress speci-
fies that the Legislature shall locate institu-
tions and divide the lands. Unless the con-
stitution is voted down, it is quite probable

LONDON, August 21.-Home Secretary
Matthews has been In consultation today
with John w. Addison, @. c., leading coun.
sci for the prosecution in the trial of Mrs
Maybrick.
Mr.. Maybrick was insured for $4,000 in
the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association
OF New York. OF this amount $4,000 was
to go to the creditors of the assured and $15,.
900 to his wife. The latter having been con-
yicted OF his murder, the question of pay.
ment becomes an interesting one. Newell
w. Bloss, one of the vice presidents of the
subject, If the conviction was allowed
to stand that the company probably would
not pay tire $4,000 going to the widow, but
would, he thought, pay the $4,000 going TO
creditors; ;ood The company had he said, ad. /:
would undoubtedly lose if her guilt were
affirmed. Personally he expressed the opin-
ion that Mrs. Maybrick was not guilty, and
the hope that this fact would be established,
in,which event Mrs. Maybrick would be CIV

A Point Of Interest,
NEW YORK, August 21.-Messrs. Roe &
Mackin. the New York attorneys for Mrs.
Maybrick, received yesterday from an an
onymous correspondent a letter explaining
the meaning of the expression, HE is sick
unto DEATH" which occurred in Mrs. May
bricks letter to Briefly, and upon which
Judge Stephen placed much Importance. The
correspondent writes:
II yield to the solicitations of friends to
communicate with you on behalf of Mrs.
Maybrick. You will learn from Southern
ers that the sentence sick unto death used
in the Briefly letter and construed by the
Judge to mean darkly, and an intent to kill,

to express any painful illness, however
slight it may be. She would say: Il am
