RUMFoRD FALLS RAILWAY.
The Adjourned Hearing Held at the Board
of Trade Rooms Yesterday.

The adjourned hearing on the proposed ex-
tension of the Rumford Falls Railway from Me-
chanic Falls to Cumberland junction on the
Maine Central, took place at the Board of Trade
rooms yesterday morning, President Chisholm
in the chair Treasurer Bradford of the road
was also present, and Hon. Byron D. Verrill,
counsel for the petitioners. There was quite a
number present.
Mr.. M. G. Morrill, of Dry Mills, said he had
canvassed from Potland corner to Gray corner
on the Cumberland line part way. He said that
most of the owners of land had already signed a
paper waving their land damage and he was
ready to guarantee that the road should have
none to pay so far as the town of Gray was
concerned He had subscriptions for $1460,
without counting the land damages that would
be given in. There were % names of subscrib-
ers on his list
Mr.. Merrill for New Gloucester, had IT
names on his list of subscribers from Gray
line to Poland Corner AT the most he thought
the land damage would not be over $500.
Mr. Dumont, representing the Shaker settle
ment, said that if the road were to go where the
petitioners wished, it would be a great advan-
tage to his people. 1t would not help them
much if it went where the original route was
laid out, but they have fine granite quarry and
several saw mills that would develope large
business if the road went where it would reach
them.
Hon. w. H. Vinuon then addressed the di-
rectors. He had an idea that there was bet
ter plan than had yet been offered. He recon-
mended the directors to build road to Gray
corner. in accordance with the plans that had
already been suggested and that then instead
of swinging round to Cumberland junction, to
go the other way and tap the Maine Central
Mountain division at South Windham. He
dwelt largely on the amount of business that
would be developed by such road. He said
this route was one the Maine Central had al
ways seen the advantage of and that the late
Judge Rice wanted that road to follow when
the Maine Central was built.
President Chisholm said the Rumford Falls
directors appreciated the interest Of the towns
on the proposed route as suggested by these
gentlemen present What the road must look
for is what will benefit it most. A committee of
the directors would meet committee of these
gentlemen and go over the proposed route with
them.
This committee was appointed: A. Ell. Mer-
rill, New Gloucester; M. C. Morrill, and Charles
G. Libby, Dry Mills; Mr.. Dumont, Dry Mills;
J. d. Hancock and w. H. Vinton, Gray Corner;
Messrs. Pope and Hanscomb, South Poland ;
O. A. Mountfort, West Cumberland.
This closed the hearing.

REFORMATORY FOR WOMEN.

Assembly SULzER has introduced at
Albany a bill providing for the establish
ment in New York or Kings County of n
State Reformatory for Women. The bill
provides that to this institution shall be
committed, on n first conviction for
drunkenness, disorderly conduct, or other
minor ofenses up to aud including petty
larceny. female prisoners between tho
ages of sixteen and thirty years.
There are two State institutions of this
character already. one at Hudson and
one Mt Rochester, but New York and
Kings are barred out of these. and pris-
oners of the classes referred to are com
mitted in the counties named to the
regular penitentiaries. The influences to
which they are subjected therefore be-
come such as to harden beginners in
crime who. under favorable circum-
stances. might be turned away from
wrong paths.
The EVENING World will support this
bill with all the energy arising from n
sincere conviction that it is u measure
pregnant with good TO the people aud
therefore to the State. The paper is en-
listed for lite in the service of tho public.
1t finds inspiration in call to active
duty wherever interests of the public are
at stake. Such call comes with the

Startling Utterances In a Sermon
Arraigning City officials.
Following are some OF the epigrammatic
phrases In the sermon preached yesterday by
Rev. DR.. Charles II. Parkhurst IN the Madison
Square Presbyterian Church:
"In Its municipal life our city is thoroughly
rotten"
1.-THE polluted harpies that, under pretensc
OF governing this city, are feeding day and
night on It's quivering vitals.'
"They are n lying, perJured, rum-soaked,
libidinous lot
"If you convict man OF keeping n gam.
bling hell In this town, you have got to do 1t
IN spite of the authorities"
"The court jefferson Market in some one
OF its subordinates at least stands In with
the gamblers"
"Crime In this city is intrenched In our
municipal administration"
Every conviction OF saloon-keeper IA
obtainable only through square hight with
the constituted authorities"
"The average Police Captain or average
policeman Is not going to disturb n criminal,
II the criminal has means, II he can help It,"
"Evcry crime In New York has Its price,"
every building In this town IN which
gambling or prostitution or the Illicit sale OF
liquor Is carried on has Immunity secured TO
It by scale OF police taxation"
"This rum-besotted and Tammany. de-
bauched town."
"Our guileless nistriCt-Attorney, with tho
down OF unsuspecting innocence upon his
blushing check"
"The most effective allies which McGlory
had were the District-Attorney and
the captain OF the precinct"
"Ne!ther the devil nor any Of his minions
can be caught IN trap"
"1here nre men occupying Official place in
this city whose ambition II Is TO discharge
their duties incorruptibly. such exceptions
are due to circumstances beyond the power Of
the dominant influence to control"
Every enort to make men respectable
honest, temperate and sexually clean is Q
direct blow between the eyes OF the Mayor,
while VIC nght iniquity they shield ant
patronize It."
"The truth will frighten even police
man."
Truth would scare even the captain OF Z
precinct and chase the bushes from the sal
low face OF the District-Attorney."
"A municipal administration whose su
preme mission is to protect, foster ana propa
: gate alcoholism"
