THE LONG BRIDGE

across the stream in front of the falls was
made into a pons triumphalis by high
arches at either end, and was lined with the
tops OF birch trees set along alternately with
colored pennants. The refreshing sight of
the principal falls well repaid the journey.
Down the broad steps of black rock the river
foams by a hundred chutes, and its broken
waters descend Tor long distance in swift
rapids. While the cascades cannot be COM
pared with the descent of the Rhine at
Schaffhausen, and are equsled by many in
the United States, they are impressive for
their size and breadth, though the pictur-
esque effect is lessened by the building of
mills which utilize the water power. We
had little time to contemplate them, for the
procession moved on half mile further to
an Alpine hotel, in front of which was a
great tent set with tables bearing the long
expected dinner. 1t was no small act of self
denial to march past this display to take our
places upon a range OF seats which had been
built on the steep river bank. while a
photographer from Christiana took a
number of views from a town set
up for the purpose on an island
in the middle Of the river. At 3 o'clock
the patient company was rewarded by din
ner of IS courses which was well designed
10 satisfy all our wants. As at the Kings

pushed ahead as rapidly as possible.
The Maine Granite and Improvement
Company added fourteen more men during
the last week TO their granite business in

QUESTION OF RAILROAD PASSES
The Companies Give an Account to the
Interstate Commission.

The interstate commerce commission
issued an order recently requiring large
humber of railroad carriers TO appear at its
| office in this city today, 10 set forth before
the commission the number of persons to
shom are issued free transportation other
than officers and employees and the officers
and employees of other roads. There were
present today about 35 persons in ehalf of
their respective companies. Chairman
Cooley announced that the commission pro-
pose to ascertain the facts and then take
such acti, as it might deem proper.
The Central Vermont Railroad company
represented by the president, George T.
Childs, presented the information called for
and letters Of superintendents of divisions,
saying that the order against the improper
issue of passes and been complied with.
The witness being sworn stated that 80 per
cent of the passes issued were to officers and
employees of the road. A rye part of the
remainder were officials and employees of
other roads,
Solomon Lincoln, the counsel representing
the Boston & Maine Railroad Co offered a
detailed statement showing the lists of pa sses
issued to persons not ofiicisls an employees
with the reasons for the issuances. He said
no record is kept of trip passes, which are
gwen as compliments OF IOf tnt sake OF
charity and not in any way to solicit or hold
business
The company did not give local trip passes
for use in other States. Edmund Wagge,
local manager of the Grand Trunk Railway
Company, furnished list of annual passes
issued since Jan. / 1889. and of periodical
passes issued since the first of November,
1883, with certain information relating there
to. He said it was the custom of the com
pany to keep record of passes. What he
furnished was a complete record of those
furnished in the United States. The Maine
Central Railroad Company, by W. L. Put
nam, presented an argument taking excep
tions to the jurisdiction of the commission
in calling for specific classes of passes issued
by railroad companies.
