RAILWAY MATTERS.


THE EASTERN RAILROAD.
The Boston News Bureau quotes director
Of the company IS saying:
"Mr. Braman has put together lot of
facts and figures which show that Eastern
stock is very valuable. but as matter of
practical railroading Eastern stock is not
near as valuable as Mr. Braman would lead
us to believe. 1 do not own any Boston &
Maine stock; my interest is entirely in East
ern, but / consider the present terms of con-
solidation as fair and equitable as it is posi-
BILE for anybody to draft. If by any mis-
chance these terms should not be accepted
by the Eastern stockholders and the lease to
would not give $40 share for Eastern

THE NEW OPERA HOUSE.
Some Idea Of the Beauties of the
Worcester House.

In figuring the cost of the new opera house
as compared with the one just erected In
Worcester, it must be borne in mind that
while the Worcester house is not elaborate
in external appearance, still it stands on the
corner of two prominent streets, as we are
informed, is constructed of best Philadel-
phia pressed brick, and has recessed
front with ornamental columns, where a
band can be stationed-like those attached
to the best minstrel troupes-to blow aud
fences into the house. Now the intention in
regard to the Portland house is TO place it in
the rear, and to have its exterior of the
plainest character. Consequently the cost
of the land and the theatre should be much
less than the Worcester house.
The Worcester Spy thus speaks of the
new house, which will open on Monday
next:
sit was finally decided yesterday to have
no press opening of the new theatre. for the
reason that it will be impossible to get all
the draperies and curtains hung and the cur
tain in place by Thursday night. The car
pets are all down, and If the iron work of
the seats was on hand the work of putting
the seats in position could be rapidly pushed
forward. The chairs are of the regular
ed in blue plush, with wooden frame backs,
also upholstered with plush. Old rose jute
velour is used as a lining for the boxes, max
ing beautiful background. The box fronts
are covered with absinthe green plush,
which color will also be continued around
the rail separating the orchestra and orches-
ira circle. The decorators are still at work,
and have actually done more in the past two
or three days, in proportion to the time, than
they have done in all the time that they have

under the gallery with an Intricate pattern
in blue and yellow, and are now adjoining
the walls of the foyer with beautiful figure
in white on an orange ground, the white be-
ing touched up in several other colors, pro-
ducing a fine effect. The big chandelier that
will hang here is unlike anything in the city,
being Moorish in style, the same as the rest
of the house. The gas and electric light men
are still working around the building, put
ting in the finishing touches. The Westing-
house alternating current dynamo that Is to
be used for furnishing the lights arrived Mon
day, and is to be set up today.

BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

BEFORE JUDGE BONNEY.
WEDNEsDAY.-John f. Randall VS.. Peleg Bar
ker
Action of trespass involving dispute as to the
true line between Maine wharf and Custom House
wharf. The plaintiff brought his suit in Noyem-
Der last claiming that Mr. Barker In erecting a
new building at the head of Custom House dock
had built over the line about a foot. Ii seems
that the defendant became satisfied that as to a
part of the way he was wrong because III January
he cut off that portion of his building complained
of which lies above low water mark. He claims
that In this suit the line below low water mark
cannot be determined; that as to the part above
he has removed the part of the building com
planned OF and damages If any, must be merely
nominal But he further claims that the plalntlh
ought not to have Judgment at all, because that
portion of the wharf owned by him was, at The
time of this suit, leased to Pierce Brothers and
not in possession of the plaintiff that in order
for plaintiff to recover he must alege In his writ
that the trespass was an injury to the reversioni
which he has not done.
Counsel for the plaintiff contends that that law
is only applicable to cases .under the Massachu
sets practice act; that this question of Pleading
does not arise in this case; that II it does Mr.
Randall took the precaution to take possession OF
that portion of the wharf from the lessess, with
their consent, before the suit was commenced.
Plaintiff does not claim that the line below low
water mark can be determined in this action DO.

Purify
Your Blood

The Importance of thoroughly purifying the
blood This Spring cannot be over-estimated.
The extraordinary epidemic of "the grip" and
other diseases, the unhealthful winter, close con-
finement in doors and carelessness IN diet, have
caused accumulation of impurities in the blood
which must be expelled before you can feel well
and strong again. The universal praise given
Hoods Sarsaparla by those who have taken it
should certainly convince you that it is the ideal
Spring Medicine. 1t acts especially and i'm
mediately upon the blood, overcomes physical
weakness, reviyes the health-tone and creates
good appetite.
~ have been great sufferer for twenty years
with the salt rheum on my hands Each winter
they were nearly raw, full of cracks and chaps, so
that could not work. After taking one bottle of
HOODS Sarsaparilla my hands are free! Oh, what
happiness MRS. A. HART, Holden, Maine.
