VICTORY FOR THE CONCORD.
A Decision In Its Famous Suit
Against the Boston & Maine.

CONCORD, N. H., May Tin the suit of
the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad
vs. the Boston & Maine, brought by the di-
rectors of the former to recover possession
of their lines, the following order was reach
ed by the supreme court and entered upon
the records this morning; Judgment for
plaintiffs; writ Of possession in 80 days, I'M
less otherwise ordered" This is the decision
of a majority of the court, Judges Bingham,
Allen and Blodgett dissenting.
The decision of the court is being general
ly discussed. That 1t is a decisive victory
for the Concord Is almost universally con-
ceded, and means that the former will con-
troll the Merrimack Valley system of rail-
roads. The directors of the Montreal are
friendly to the Concord, and when they re-
gain control of their line under this decision
they will probably make an arrangement for
that road TO operate it under business con-
tract until a consolidation can be brought
about either under the "Colby" act of 1888
or by new legislation.
The Northern Railroad and its leased lines
are at present being operated by the Boston
and Maine under a business arrangement
terminabe by either party on 80 days no
tice. 1t is claimed by the friends of the COu-
cord that majority of the Northern drec-
tors have been favorable to transfer of their
road to the Concord in event of this decision
for the plaintiffs.
The officials of the Concord decline to be
interviewed today for publication as to their
future policy, but they are evidently much
elated oyer the result.

What President Lord Saws.

Boston, May president Lord of the
Boston & Maine said this afternoon in rela-
tion to the decision. that the Boston &
Names action in the matter cannot be de-
cided upon until the full decision of the
court is received. The last part of the order,
until otherwise ordered" Mr. Lord says, is
not quite clear to him. The road in dispute,
he said, was not paying road in it
self, but was Of great assistance to the Bos-
ton q Maine during the summer travel.
Hence an extension of time might possibly
be asked for until fall.

morning for the east. 1t had been on the

hands, who were about 10 unload the car
Great was their surprise to see a large
Newfoundland dog stagger to the door and
precipitate himself to the ground. The poor
animal had been locked in the car for ten
days without foot or water, ana was reduced
almost to almost a skeleton. The hind part
of his body was seemingly paralyzed, and he
was compelled TO draw himself around on
his fore legs.
The half starved brute was kindly cared
for by the tender hearted railroad men, and
supplied with both food and water. The
demonstrations of Joy on the part of the in.
telligent though crippled and suffering ami
NAL were most touching. 1t is thought that
with kind and careful treatment the dog,
which was undoubtedly very handsome
one before his Tanner experience, will re-
cover the use of his whole body.
