Railway Legislation.

A bill is peni.us before the legislature
looking to the care Of the states interest in
the Fitchburg railroad property aud looking
20 the maintenance OF one railway line which
shall be- di,tinctively New England in char
acter. The bill charges the governor and
state treasurer and ch htirman OF the railroad
commissioners with the active duty OF vot-
ing. holding and managing the state stock
in the FltChburg railroad, thus making
definite state officers responsible for what
has hitherto been nobody's business. II
then gives them definite instructions how tc
act, directing them to pursue that policy
which shall tend always to keep this line an
INDEPENDENT line, run in the interests OF Bos.
ton, and with rates that shall give fair
chance for frelGnts to come eastward to BuS-
ton rather than southwark to New York 1t
prohibits the sale OF the state stock except In
the line of that policy and TO citizens Of the
commonwealth. And It further provides
that If the railroad can be brought to consent
its bonds now held BY the state shall be ex..
changed for preferred stock in the railroad,

Rev. Hartley Carmichael, rector OF
St. Paul's Episcopal church, is very de-
sirous to raise a fund to insure the pres
ervation and future welfare OF his church
He has just issued an appeal TO the
members Of his congregation to that
effect wherein he says:
1T is a duty incumbent on the congre-
cation 10 preserve 81. Paul's in It's pres

Mayor Ellyson's Trip to New York-mrs'
Davis VIII Not Go to Now Orleans,
but Will Como to Richmond.

Mayor Eilyson chairman OF the Jeher-
son Davis monument committee. returned
from New York last evening. where he
went TO meet Mrs. Davis in regard to the
programme adopted by Mayor Hllyson
and the Confederate veterans at New
Orleans on his late visit TO that city.
Mr.. Ellyson stopped at the Marlborough
Hotel, where Mrs. Davis resides. and had
pleasant interviews with Mrs. Davis and
Miss Winnie Davis.
The plan OF hating the funeral train
at Montgomery and Atlanta. as request
ed by prominent veterans OF those cities,
in order to give opportunity 10 the peo-
pie TO memorabilia the occasion with ap-
propriate ceremonies, was approved by
Mrs Davis, as well as the details re-
ferred 10 above. Mr.. Ellyson thinks that
this addition to the programme will neces-
state a change in the time OF leaving
New Orleans and postponement OF the
interment in Hollywood from Tuesday,
May Goth, 10 Wednesday, the Slst.
Mrs. Davis, as well as Mr.. Ellyson. is
opposed to a Sunday ceremonial, and In
order 10 obviate that condition the re-
moval from New Orleans win probably
be fixed for Monday. the 18th.
MIS-. DAVIS, on account VI teliIlS hcai'H'
has decided not 10 go TO New Orleans
on the occasion OF the removal, but will
be in Richmond TO receive the remains
when they arrive.
Miss Winnie Davis will. however, 20
direct from New York TO New Orleans
and accompany the funeral train TO VII
g1nia. Mrs. Hayes. her sister who lives
at Colorado Springs, Col, will also go 70
New Orleans.
A meeting OF Lee Camp Will probably
be called tomorrow TO arrange for the
final ceremonies on the arrival OF the re-
mains here.
