A Batch of Interesting Items from the
Iron Highways.


The ST. J. & l.. c. road manage
ment have been doing a great deal
of work in connection with trestles
the past season, and before next
July, when this class of improve
ment on that line is expected to be
finished, they will have laid out $780,
900 or 100000 in that direction.
The filling of Pumpkin hill trestle
has been completed, and aside from
that five others are being filled, in
Guiding the high one just beyond
Walden; and new one is being put
in-the Fisher" trestle-just beyond
Pumpkin hill. The large culvert
just completed at the Walden trestle
cost about $4,000, but it is put
to stay and is splendid specimen of
solid masonry. Two stone gangs
have been kept at work on ''small
jobs" all this season, and the small
er stones in many of the culverts
along the line have been replaced by
larger ones that are expected to
stand the rush of any torrent likely
to appear on the scene. The manage
ment are evidently going in for i'm
provements that will last.
The Victory branch is to be laid
with steel rails, and about half of
the work has been done.
The St. ]. & L. c. ballast train has
been kept busy all the season, and
the road-bed has profited thereby
The putting in of the ''Y" at the
Summit will prove a very convenient
thing for the trainmen, enabling
them to handle the rolling stock to
much better advantage.
Two members of the railroad COM
mission were here on Tuesday for a
second consideration of the recent
accident on the Lake road, at Dan
vile, in which Engineer Leslie was
so badly hurt. On the occasion of
the first visit of the commissioners
the engineer was not able to testify;
on Tuesday his testimony was taken,
as we'll as some that was offered at
the first hearing. On the same day
the matter of abolishing one of the
so-called twin" grade crossings in
Danville was also taken up by the
commission, both parties in interest
being heard.
E. w. Thompson, for some years
past connected with the Rock Island
route, is now station agent at Mont
pelier for the Central Vermont road.
He succeeds S. l.. Howe, the long
time agent at that place, and is
amply qualified for the position.
Another rotary snow plow for a
Western road passed over the St. J.
& L. c. division Tuesday. A machine
or two of that sort would be found
decidedly useful in this locality.
They make quick work of snow
drifts.
Representatives of the Boston &
Maine, Grand Trunk, Central YER
mont, Canadian Pacific and Connec-
ticut River roads met at Burlington
last week to compare notes on the
excursion business for the past year,
which had been larger than in any
previous season.

LOVES YOUNG DREAM
Proves a Nightmare for One Young
Man, While His Rival Is Happy.
LICENSED TO TWO MEN IN A WEEK,
The Record Made by Miss Susanna Andrews,
of Tustin Street.
SHOTS AT NEWS FROM BOTH CITIES

''True love never runs smooth" says the
adage but 1t does not state that the sweet
heart sometimes has to guess twice within
the same week to hit the mark of her affec-
tions. This is the case of Susanna An
drews who, yesterday, took out the second
license for her marriage. The other fellow
objects, but that don't count, and by this
time Susanna is doubtless happy, blush
ing, buxom bride.
A few days ago Miss Andews, Slav,
entered the marriage license office and
wanted to know if she could be compelled
to marry man. She refused to give her
name, but said that man had taken out q
license few days before to marry her
She, however, changed her mind because
she liked another man better. She indicated
a man who was with heras the one she liked
best. The first lover, Notwithstanding, re-
fused to release her unless she paid him $50.
She offered to compromise for $40, but he
would not accept and said he would make
her marry him. The visit was to find out If
he could do so. She was told he could not,
and departed happy, promising TO be back
inside OF week to get another license.
She kept her word and yesterday took out
license for the marriage of herself and
John Dausho, a resident of Tustin street.
She, however. said that her troubles were
not ended. Her first lover. she said, sued
her before Alderman Loomis. charging her
with the larceny of n ring worth less than
dollar. She gave $500 bail for d hearing.
She then in turn sued him before the same
Alderman for SANDER for making unkind
remarks about her.
In spite of her tribulations and the thorns

to be seen.

Il am Blaine man now and have been for
years, said Mayor Gourley yesterday "He

be careful in its selection for the second

SMOKE.
It Pays to Stop II.

The Spang Steel and Iron Company says
that the Walker patent saves from II to 10
per cent and stops 90 per cent of the smoke.
They are getting ready to apply it to IA
more of their boilers at Etna
The Hartford Steam Boiler and Insurance
Company report that in testing ten boilers
set with the Walker Smoke Consumers that
the range of temperature in the uptake, or
stack, was within the most economical limit.
The even range of temperature on those
boilers is remarkable.
Mr.. John Noodle, of the Boston Globe,
says that their boilers are evaporating 111z
pounds of water at 1900 temperature of feed
water to one pound of coal (not combust-
ible), but coal as weighed. This is the best
smoke (consumer) preventer in the world.
1t costs little, compared with others, to put
it in. To maintain it the expense is down to
q minimum, for the boilers at the American
Printing Works, Fall River, Mass, have
been running for 20 months, and have not
cost one dollar for repairs. The patentee
and general manager, Mr.. Robert L. Wal
ker, is staying at the Anderson Hotel, this
city, at present. Parties having smoky
chimneys would do well to write or call on
him.
