Still the great railroads of the country
go on in their process of development and
aggrandizement. The Boston and Alba
ny r. r. Co. is to erect million dollar r..
R. station on Back Bay. This station
will contain thirteen tracks, and will
have height corresponding to its other
dimensions and will be the most impos-
ing r. R. station in New England, il not
in the whole country. 1t is also rumored
that the same company will either pur-
chase the Mechanics Hall or erect a new
building Of equal size in order to have a
mammoth hotel like the Charing Cross of
London. In both the hotel and the sta
tion they propose to build for Boston of
the future, and to lay their plans on
scale commensurate with the magnitude
of their increasing business and the
growth Of their constituency. This will
doubtless be an advantage to the public
in many ways, but the tendency Of the
age seems to be the absorption of the in
dividual in the expansion OF the corpora
tion. This is hardly in accordance with
the highest good of the individual.
though it often accrues to his material
advantage.

"Slumming" seems to be very popular
now, and all classes and conditions are
beginning to take hold OF the fact that
something must be done to uplift the
submerged masses in our great cities
Perhaps one of the most successful meth
ods of accomplishing work along this
line is TO take up an abode in the very
district which is sought to be reclaimed
Several experiments OF this kind are now
being made, and the results thus far are
such as to justify their further prosecu-
tion. They have been doing this work
much longer in London than we have
here, and 1t is generally conceded there
that IL you want to reach those who are
the poorest and the filthiest and the
most wicked you must go where they
live and take up your abode with them.
BY this means their confidence can be
gradually gained and they can be lifted
up to better things. Recent papers have
contained accounts of the inceptions OF
several such enterprises in the cities of
this land. University graduates, culti-
waited and refined young ladies who have
graced the highest circles Of society, have
rented a room or two in the densest and
dirtiest portions Of our great cities and
begun their mission OF love, by following
the example OF God who came TO US when
We would not come to him. This may
ultimately help to solve the problem Of
how to get the masses to the churches.

The convention of the Republican
League held at Burlington gave good
proof that the Republicans of Vermont
well appreciate the Importance OF the
coming elections and will be well prepar-
ed tomeet the foe next fall. The good
work done for the party by the League is
recognized by all, and it is with regret
that we notice the attempt to turn the
convention into partisan boom for CUB
ernatorial candidates. The League is
supposed to exist for the destruction of
Democratic heresies and not for the pri-
vate benefit of any one man or set OF men.
II it is turned into a coat tail appendix
for these chronic victims OF ambition,
dissensions must arise and the majority
of 1872 will be smaller than the meagre one
OF 80. The Republicans OF this state have
no use for midwinter caucuses and when
they do they will want to be fairly repre-
sented by delegates of their own choice.
II the tail tries TO wag the dog it will be
sat upon.

We understand that the name of Hon
f. P. George of West Fairlee will be pre-
sented as one of the district delegates to
the National Republican Convention at
Minneapolis. No better name need be
suggested. Mr.. George is one OF the old
war horses of the party who has done
valiant work for the Republican party in
this state. 1t is needless to say that old
Orange county will present his name as
her unanimous choice as he is one of the
most popular men in the county.

vised as a most important step fha. the board
consult with the mayor and endeavor t. induce
him TO withhold permits or permission of beg

request the newspapers to ask the people not
TO give aims to street beggars OF any OF the
above classes. In lieu of the support thus with
held the bureau charges itself with the procure
ment Of work. Mr.. Garrett suggested that the

members were admitted to the Board OF Friendly
Visitors.
The case OF the Warren family the recent ar.
rivals from Kansas who attracted so much at
tention and sympathy by reason of their desti-
tute condition, WAS taken up and discussed.
This fnmiiy contains four persons able to work,
two men and two women. Work has been
offered 10 them number of times, but has in
every Gaze been refused. The latest deve op-
ment has been that they have refused the aid
extended by the board, and instead are living
upon the charity OF the community, though able
to maintain themselves by honest labor if they
chose to do so. This is the result of the in
vestigation OF the Board of Friendly Visitors
II should be noticed, the latter say, that this
result is brought about by the misplaced charity
OF those by whom they are surrounded, by
whose aims they ere maintained in idieness and
comparative luxury, in place of earning their
own bread by work. The bureau secured them
q house, provisions to tide over their temporary
necessities and got them work. which, as already
said, was refused In every instance.

Corporation Counsel Donworth for his opinion

there was an Impractical oility about taking any
step. The charter as originally drafted had
provision that no salary OF any official SHOULD be
increased or diminished during his term. This
had been changed by amendment, so ii was pro-
vided decrease could be made. This, how

and the powers of the council.

REAL ESTATE DEAL.
Suit Against Ex-G"v. Church to Recover
$4,000 on Trial.

Ex.Gov Louis K. Church was the defendant
IN damage suit, on trial yesterday in Judge
Osborn's court, which was brought by n. NJ.
Gasser for alleged breach OF contract. to recover
$1,000 According to Gassers allegations, in
January. 1891, he entered into a contract with
the law Arm OF Church & Lentzy. by which they
were to purchase for him tracts of land near
Everett He was to receive two-thirds of the
profits and Church AMI LentZy each one-sixth.
In accordance with this contract Lsuizy went
10 snobomish county and entered into written
agreements with Eugene d. Smith and his wife
for the purchase OF two tracts of land One.
containing lS2 acres, was TO be sold at $40 an
acre, and another. containing 400 acres, at 500
IN acre. Tho sum OF $40. which was paid to
bind the bargain. was furnished by the plaintiff
Aftefward, however, the defendants failed TO
complete the purchase of tho land, although
the plaintiff was ready to pay for 1t AT any time.
Instead, III the following May. the defendants
transferred their interest, acquired by the
Smiths contract to sell, to Henry Hewitt, ir.
The plair tiff claims that this kept him from
making $4,000 by the increase In the value of
the land.
The case against Lentzy was dismissed.
Church, by way of defense, after admitting the
arrangement with Gssser and the written agree
nent with the smiths alleges that the deal fell
through because Gasser failed 10 furnish the
money. The agreement with the Smiths ex-
pred in March, 1891, and two months later he
made quit claim deed to Henry Hewitt, jr..
who bought from the smiths. in order merely to
awe Hewitt an unclouded title.

The Train Robbers May Have Been
PasAengers From the Emirran Car.

The Train Robbers May Have Been
Passengers From the Emigra ant Car.
Sheriff Wooiery arrived late on Sunday light
from Hot Springs whore he has been in search
OF clues OF the train robbers. He returned to
Hot Springs last night and was proceeded to the
SPOT by Deputy sheriff Jack Mcdonald, who
went there yesterday morning. Sheriff Wooery
said yesterday to a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES re-
porter:
at is certainly hard case to work out In a
we!l-seitled country it would be no difficult
matter to get track of the robbers, but here, If
they take TO tho hills and can obtain provisions,
II Ia almost impossi bic to run them down. There
are some very peculiar features about the affair
Nearly every one who he's anv opinion about the
matter thinks they were old trainmen from their
actions and familiarity with the signals. 1t
seems strange that they did not ATTEMPT, to 60
through the other sleeper. If they came a long
way 1t seems certain that they would not have
been content to rifle just one car.
That is an argument in favor of the theory that
1t was done by men living in the vicinity of Hot
Springs. The robbers might even have been
passengers on the etnigrant car forward. They
could have slipped off at Hot Springs and got
back on the sleepsr. When they go' Off after tho
robbery the train had slowed down in obedience
to their signals with the bell cord, and they
could have run forward and Boarded the emf
grant car again. There is almost no clue to
their appearance, as they all wore masks aud
the passengers were too excited to take an ac-
curate descrintiop OF them"
While Sheriff woo!ery discusses clues thus
airy, 1t is pretty certain that he has other lines
upon which he is working The suspicious
strangers who visited the store at Franklin on
the DAY after the robbery and bought goods with
Canadian money may possibly be the object of
his quest

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Discussion Upon Licensing Saloons on
the Water Front.

There was full attendance OF the board Of
aldermen DR.. o. G. Root appeared for a num-
Der OF people on Moitke street, between Lake
and Rollin, who desire electric lights on that
street. He mentioned that just before coming
to the council he had helped home an old lady
who had fallen in the dark and broken her leg.
The street is not graded, but it is impossible. he
said. for the people at present to have grading
done. He asked for ten thirty-candle power
lights On motion of Aldermen Wolfe. Miller
and Brewer it was granted. Arc lights were
also ordered on Depot at Front. Box, Cedar,
Lombard AMI Dexter to replace thirteen or four
teen incandescents.
Ordinance tablishing grade on Dexter from
Thomas to Plummer was passed.
The petition for liquor license by McArdle
4 Mcnamara at Washington street and Railroad
avenue was unfavorably reported, on account Of
the absence of lights on the water front Dr.
Jordan said the license for one saloon would
pay for several electric lights which are needed
on the water front anyway. Alderman Miller
thought tina. it cost every dollar derived from
such license for additional police.
President Sweeney took the floor to read a
statement from Comptroller Carson showing
the cost of the police department. which was
said to be 5000 less than for the same months
under the former administration. Dr. Sweeney
said one of the firm, McArdle, had been one OF
the best supporters OF the present administra-
tO0 lie was lnlOr1neN that the police were
making special fight against two saloons on
the water front He argued that unless we de-
rived revenue from saloons. the city could not
atfori more light or extra police at present, yet
these were needed. Prohibition is all right.
but we cannot reduce the revenue and at the
same time increase the police force aud carry on
the government. He asked for further consid-
Grafton.
DR.. Jordan thought It would be- unjust to de-
prive the man OF license without hearing.
Alderman Miller said he hal seen as many a.
two or three rows in the daytime in this saloon,
and the police reported that squaws were often
there in the evening.
On motion OF Daulton the report was adopted
and the license refused.
