RAILROAD MATTERS.
Another New York New England
 RumOr Denied.

Another New York & New England
 Rumor Denied.
 The report current in Wall street yesterday, that the New York & New England railroad had been leased to the Boston and Name. was denied in New York and in Boston. A Boston dis patch says: "A director of the Boston & Maine railroad says the report that that road has leased the New York & New England, and that both have been leased to the Reading, is absurd and without any foundation. The Boston & Maine directors are in session to-day, but it is stated that only routine husi- ness is being transacted. The New York & New England people here do not believe that any conference of any sort is being held. President Parsons is in Kennebunk, Me; General Manager MelleD is in Norwich, and other officials are scattered at different points. Those who are in a position to know insist that no 'deaP is pending with the Read ing or any other line."

CONNECTICUT AT THE FAIR.
Meeting of the Board of Managers an
 Executive Committee.

Meeting of the Board of Managers and
 Executive Committed.
 The board of Worlds fair managers of Connecticut met in the governors room in the capitol yesterday afternoon at 12:30. There were fourteen members present and Governor Bulkeley presided Mrs Isabella B. Hooker of the United States commission, was in attendance.
 Senator David M. Read, chairman of the building committee, made a report about the progress of the state building at Chicago, and said it would be com pleted in October. It will be supplied with electric lights, fire extinguishers and other modern appliances. Every thing looked favorable for Connecticuts exhibit.
 The senator read letter received from Major Woods on his return from Chica- go, which was the report of his trip Among other things he showed that the demand for space largely exceeded the supply. Of necessity, there would be a general reduction, but he was satisfied that the officials wonld deal fairly with all parties. The foreign demand was much greater than was expected, and the only course of Connecticut eXhibi- tors was to accept the situation and make the best of it.
 Tbe report showed that Connecticut stood fifth in the department of ma chinery and sixth in the department of manufactures, only four states showing greater number of applications in the machinery department and five in the manufacturers department. In the other departments Connecticut was also well up.
 Arrangements were made to supply Connecticut's building with the cele brated Waukesha hygeia water, which will be brought in pipes from the springs at Waukesha, over 100 miles away. Nearly all the buildings will be supplied with that water.

WALLER NOT A CANDIDATE.

A Letter to a New Haven Paper Expresses
 Preference For the Old Ticket.
 There has been good deal of talk in Connecticut for a week or so that ex- Governor Waller was in the race for the democratic nomination for governor. Most of this gossip has appeared in re- publican papers. Yesterday a personal letter to the editor of the New Haven Register was received from the ex- governor, in which he referred to these reports about the alleged gubernatorial contest. He writes:
 "I am sorry that anything has been said about the possibility of my being a candidate for governor. The suggestion has certainly received no encourage ment from me. think our party ought to nominate Hon Luzon B. Morris. I do not believe any other candidate would do as well in the canvass as he will. To abandon him would be like confessing judgment against ourselves on the gubernatorial issue"

Mr.. J. d. Tucker, Of Belfast las in the
past dealt quite largely in the sale Of ''coon'
eats In one month last year he sold thir-
teen. For many years he raised this variety
of cats for the market. Mr.. Tucker said he
never obtained a fancy price for them, the
|. rgest sum for single eat being SO. When it
became known that he sold these ''coon'
cats letters came to him from all parts of the
country. Once he furnished a handsome
coon for the family of Justice Harlan, of
Many years ago Judge Harlan stumped this
part of Maine during an exciting campaign
Mr.. Tucker then lived at Lincolnville, and
for several days Judge Harlan was the
guest of Mr. Tucker. When the cat was
forwarded, Judge Harlan in reply said he
well remembered the event, which was one
of the most pleasing in his stumping tour
In consequence the eat was more priced than
ever. Mr.. Tucker said when he wanted cats
he would drive in the country where he al
ways obtained supply. In one family he
found twelve coon cats.
Nine months ago Mrs. Robert T. Emery, of
Belfast, lost her eat, and mourned it as dead.
One day last week the cat returned plump
and fat. Mrs. Emery thought the cat might
again leave home so she tied a slip about
her neck contai ming the owners name etc.
Sure enough the cat again left and Mrs
Emery has not the least idea as to it's where

This church was dedicated anew, after it's
evening services were held under the direc-
tion of Rev. VIM. Meservey, Rev. Mr..
Wharf preaching in the afternoon and Rev.
Mr.. Dannock of Dixmont in the evening.
1t was found that debt of about $40
remained and the amount was quickly
raised in the meeting. Last autumn the
good people in this vicinity came to the
conclusion that they had endured the shabby
appearance of their house Of worship long
enough, and meeting was called in Octo-
Der to see what could be done. At that meet
ing they decided to repair the church Rev.

ing, Mrs. Clara Bagley, Mrs. Sarah Rogers
and Mrs. Mary f, Leathers Were appointed

their work with will. They solicited aid
from their friends in town and out of town.
They devised means to raise money in many
and novel ways. Mrs. Newell Bagley on

ing had been removed, the walls newly plas-
tered and papered, a nice ceiling put in
overhead, the chimney rebuilt, two new
stoves procured, and the pews repainted
Mrs. Leathers was to raise funds for the
pulp furniture and succeeded in procuring
a beautiful oak pull pit and chairs, upholster-
ed in cherry plush, at cost of about $50.
Mr.. Joseph Piper, of Rocklanu, a former
resident of Troy, contributed a nice chande-
lier. Mr.. James L. Merrick of Waterville,
presented an elegant and costly Bible. Two
years ago, through the efforts of Mrs Caro-

blinded on the outside, and now through
the united efforts of all interested we have

in hand gratefully appreciate all the aid that
has been rendered, especially by those from

gold shall deposit with the understand

With American credit | should not know
how long | should be secure, for it is evil

must come, it will be well for all of us to
be prepared to meet it, If we are to leg

The poorest people will, of course, suffer

have no means, will grow richer by the
calamities that deprecated currency,
