 A PARTY-LINE QUARREL.-The Chris tian Union gives the following gratef, variant upon the ordinary outcome of party-line quarrels:
 An acquaintance of the Spectator. about two years ago, built a house in New York. When the walls were up and the framing of the roof in place, he was informed by the man who owned the adjoining proper ty that the new house was six inches on his land. The Spectators friend offered to pay very handsomely for the six inches that had been built upon by mistake. The owner of it would not sell. He said that his plans were all made for occupy ing the whole of his lot, and for no con- sideration whatever could he part with the six inches. The Spectators friend could do nothing else than tear down his wall This was done, and the wall moved back twelve instead of six inches. .-t I Then the owner of the neighboring property put up his house, and placed his wall just against that of the finished house. Of course this wall was now on the land of the Spectators friend, who made no remonstrance until his neighbor had finished his house, furnished it, and moved in with his family. Then he call ed and informed the obdurate man of the fact He was speechless with rage. The Spectators friend then handed him deed to the six inches, saying, II did this just to make you realize how meanly you had acted toward me. I have no wish that you should be put to any expense. make you present of that six-inch strip" The Spectator is of opinion that if revenge is ever justifiable it was in this instance. =

Capt. Cooper of the Pinkerton servlce
 was being cross-examined in the trial of Cliffort at Pittsburg, Saturday morning, when Judge Stowe stopped the attorneys for the defense, who were seeking to show that the Pinkertons were trespassers at Homestead. The judge said: "I won't allow such questions. These men were going to Homestead on lawful errand, and had right to. These rioters had no business there. Even if the Pinkertons had been going to take thai mill by force they were justified in doing so, and no one had right to dispute it in this court, and you may as we'll understand that now. Such ideas as you attempt to advance never have been the law, are not the law, and I hope never will be the law It is anarchistic to advance such sentiments, and will allow no one to advance such ideas here" Mir. Bremen, who asked the objectionable questions, tried several times to reply to the judge, but was si- lenced
 Rates of fare to the worlds fair were considered by the Trunk Line Associa- tion, at a meeting held in New York last week. It was agreed to sell round trip tickets to and from Chicago at 20 per cent. reduction from the present rates, with one stop-over in each direction. It was also agreed to sell unlimited tickets at the fares now charged for limited tick cts. Thie arrangement will take effect April 18th, and continue until Oct. 3Oth. The public had hoped for much greater liberality on the part of the railroads, and the attendance at the fair will be consid- erably diminished by the high rates of transportation.
 James s. Barber of Mansfield died, leaving an estate of $105, ,OOO. Alden Col lins of Mapping is to contest the will, some provisions of which have not been understood. It is true that Mir. Barber leaves but $1 ,O00 to each of the children, but that ''the rest goes to charitable in- stitutions'' is not true, as one-third of the estate is left to Mrs. Barber.

The annual pamphlet of the Connecti- cut Temperance Union is just out. The report for 1892 shows increasing activity along the different lines of temperance work, but gives special attention to the efforts in many localities to fight the sa- loon. It takes hopeful view of the sit uation, and urges people everywhere to cooperate with law and order leagues and other organizations in the enforce ment of law. It insists that "the de- struction of one saloon by the opel ation of just laws may deal to the rum power a heavier, blow, and be an object lesson more impressive than any amount of the most excellent theorizing," and pleads for .''but one temperance army with one ral- lying cry, Away with the saloon." This document will not, as in former years. be sent to all contributors to the funds of the society, but the secretary will gladly send it and several fresh leaves on various phases of the saloon question to all who will address him at Rockville.

THE New York and New Haven rail- road is now said to have secured as part of it's system the Old Colony road or Massachusetts. While the latter road is in many particulars an important acqui- sition, the main idea of the purchase was no doubt to secure the old Boston and Providence road, which gives the pur- chasers a continuous and direct line be- tween New York and Boston.

The only legitimate ground for opposition was that the present senior judge of the superior court was entitled to one of the places rather than one who had never been on the bench of the minor court.

A Brattleboro dispatch says: All sorts of rumors are heard as to consolidating schemes involving nearly all of the rail road corporations in New England. Prom inent railroad men admit that there is something in the air." although they are careful in their prophecies to name con- fusing number of schemes which are lia- ble to be carried out, leaving the public to determine as to those most likely to be consummated. However, when talk ing among themselves, railroad officials agree that the Boston & Maine is to have formidable competitor, sooner or later, in the New London Northern road. The traffic over this line has largely increased within year, until to-day it is doing an unusually profitable business. The Fitch burg is decidedly friendly to the New London Northern and is diverting large amount of freight to this road. An aver age of twenty five car loads a day are sent by way of Millers Falls from off the Fitch burg road. The New London Northern has become the most profitable part of the Central Vermont's system and is prob ably the best equipped of any of the lines. Such facts naturally strengthen the 1umor of plot of some one of the rivals of the Boston & Maine to get possession of the New London Northern, and thus cut of the link between South Vernon and Brat tleboro, and either compelling the lessees of the Connecticut River road to build ten miles of road to connect theil newly acquired line with the Valley at this point or pay handsomely for the privilege o1 running over this bit of road. It is said that the Consolidated road would like tc get possession of the New London North. ern, and that already propositions looking to such a deal have been made The re port that the Central Vermont system as whole is involved in new plan of con. solidation finds credence in railroad cir. cles, notwithstanding the published de, nials. It is believed that President Smith would consent to lease of his system un- der certain conditions which might arise. The Boston X Maine would be most inter ested in it's lease, hence the feeling that they could vigorously contest for railroad supremacy here in Vermont if forced by inimical interests.
