A RAILROAD.

RAIlROAD.
A railroad is wanted and there seems
to be good reasons for the belief many
of the people of Straford have, that no
section of the country can offer greater
inducements for the building of rail-
road. From the level of the railroad
track at Pompa station to the school
house near the foot of Brocklebank Hill,
the difference in elevation is las ft.,
and the distance is Is miles. Brockle-
bank and the surrounding hills are mas
sive bodies of granite. The granite
quarried from these hills is fine grained
and easily worked but so hard that it
takes polish equal to that taken by
the Quincy granite. One farm is filed
with lodges of granite that resembles
the Westerly, r. l., granite, the most
valuable granite quarried. The lodges
in all the hills are so situated that spur
tracks could be built to railroad run
ming to lower level than the one
named above, and the maximum grade
of any of the spurs would be less than
80 feet, while the average grade of the
main road would be less than 60 feet.
There are capitalists and granite man
ufacturers who say that, should a rail-
road be built from any of the Vermont
railroads to any point near Brockle-
bank Hill, it would not be ten years
before the amount of granite quarried
here would be greater than that quar-
ried at Barre. The stone is said to
be Of better quality there would be but
little waste granite to be gotten rid of,
and the quarries could be opened and
operated for a comparatively small
sum. A railroad track running to them
would have no excessive grades. About
three miles from Brocklebank are the
copper mines belonging to the Orange
Mining Co. and those belonging to the
Cornwall Mining Co. The Elizabeth
mines and those belonging to the Straf-
ford Mining Co. are about four miles

pleasant village. There are two good
hotels in the town, the Hazelton House,
Fred B. Hazelton, proprietorsSsand the
Barrett House, of which j. +. Kendall
is landlord. Both houses had TO refuse
many people who wished for rooms last
summer, the houses being filed all
through the season. Both Fred and
81 have enviable regulations as caterers
to the public and the person who once
eats at either house is sure to come
again when opportunity permits. The
falls above the sold City," of which
mention has been made, have been said
to be Niagara Falls in miniature, but
this comparison is not a fair one, for
these falls are many times more beauti-
full than those of Niagara. Near the
falls is the summer home of Prof. Seth
Chandler Of Cambridge, Mass. Un-
der the falls is the cave in which Lieut..
Smiths wife and children secreted
themselves from Indians and Tories
while he was acting as scout-doing
picket duty in the great wilderness that
reached to Canada, the enemy's coun-
try. Not far from the falls was the
site of Smiths fort. Around the falls,
each hill and valley, there clings many
an old tradition. In this town was or
ganized the first Freewill Baptist church
organized west of the Connecticut river
and just over the hill, west of the sold
City" was held the first conference of
denomination. There is great wealth
of historical lore clinging here that
should be gathered up.
THE BALDWIN MAGNEsIA SPRING.
This spring is in Sharon but is only
about two miles distant from South |
Strafford. 1t was discovered by DIR.
Eleazer Baldwin in 1884 and is owned
by Mrs. Chester Downer, who has ex-
pended something like So, 200 in put

The water has been bottled and ship

gained an excellentreputation as table
water and as a cure for eczema, scrof-
nla, rheumatism, gout, kidney and liv-
er diseases, indigestion, etc. A Bos-
ton physician of some note has become
SO favorably impressed by the good
qualities of the water that he has in
crested some wealthy capitalists IN the
spring property and they will build a
arge hotel near it very soon. The guam
ity of water bottled and shipped from
he spring every season makes the mat
er of transportation one of considera-

The long Arbitration 10 settle the dis
pute between the United States and
Great Britain upon the Behring Sea
question, has finally come to an end,
and the decision rendered, while appar-
emily adverse to the United States in
awarding damages to Great Britain for
the seizure of vessels, is still quite sat
isfactory, in that it establishes sixty
mile zone around the Pribyloff islands
where foreign vessels are not allowed to
take seals, and prohibits the use of fire.
arms in their capture. In addition to
this it establishes a close season of
three months in the year, in which it
will be unlawful to make captures.
While he decision does not recognize
many of the claims made by our gov
ernment, it quite as effectually prevents
the entire destruction of seals as if all
our claims had been granted, and from
comments made ty public men and
newspapers upon the decision, it is evil
dent that the able arbitration has set
tied this vexed question very satisfac-
torily to all parties concerned except
the Canadian poachers.

A Compromise at 90 to /.

|
There appears to he a willingness on
the part Of some Of the friends Of silver
to accept compromise of the financial
question by the passage of free coinage
act at ratio of20 to l. This PROPOSE
ton seems jnst the same to us as that
sometimes made by the directors of a
bank whose cashier has stolen the funds
and is permitted to retain twenty-five
per cent of his stealiDgs if be will re-
turn the remainder. The creditor class
es have impoverished the masses by de-
basing silver, and the only honest set
tlement is to return it to its former po-
sition. But if the bankers cannot be
forced to do the honest thing, it may be
well if the people can force them to this
compromise.
There are some advantages to be
gained by the friends of silver by ac-
ceptiDg the higher ratio. There are
500 0O0,0 coined silver in Europe,
coined at the ratio of l53 to /. If we
were to coin our silver at 28.3 per cent
greater, it would not only prevent any
foreign silver returning here to drain
our country of gold. but it would il time
cause such an overflow of silver from
this country that it, at this ratio, would
fetch premium over gold, and eventu-
ally the two metals would 6nd an equi-
| librium at ratio fixed on the relative
supply of the two metals. The moment
that silver commanded a small premi-
um at the increased ratio, silver coinage
would cease in the United States. II
might in that event cause lower ratio
to be adopted. 1t is stated that only
eight million silver dollars had been
coined in the United States up to 1873.
The reason so small an amount had
ratio in Europe made silver bullion
worth 81 80 for export, as against $l.29
for coinage, Even with all the fnan-
ciers doing their utmost 10 degrade the
white metal, with free coinage here at
the increased ratio, the worlds supply
would soon be absorbed. The danger
of any food of silver from Europe Ia
danger we believe only Imaginary
would be averted, But this Nation
would lose one of the advantages which
free coinage at 16 to l ratio would
give it. We would lose the advantage
we would have over England and Ger
many in winning the trade of Mexico
and the Central and South American
Republics With free coinage at l6 TO
/, the trade from the south would soon
force Europe to terms, and an interna-
national conference would be called
which, unlike the late one, would not
fail of an agreement for the want of the
concurrence of England.

TELEaRAPHlNG EN- ROUTE.
A Fruitful Cause of Railway Accidents
May Now Be Removed.

Fruitful Cause of Railway Accidents
May Now Be Removed.
Telegraphing from train in motion
has for some years been practiced in
this country, but in this as in many
other electrical applications America
is ahead of European practice. All
Europe stood horror-stricken not long
ago at the awfulness of railway ac-
cident on the Riviera. The station
master dispatched a train on the wrong
line to its doom of rushing Into anoth-
er train and crashing over the preci-
pice. Bells were rung and people
shouted, but there was no means OF
stopping the train wrongly started, and
the stationmaster shos himself as he
heard the crash
This and other accidents more or less
similar, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
have appealed so strongly to railway
directors for the necessity of establish
ing a means of communication from
trains in motion that European engi-
neers are now engaged in testing vari-
rious systems whereby this can be ef-
fected. Some recent trials at Algeria
are said to have been most successful
The tests included the exchange of tel
egrams between a train in motion and
the station; between two trains in
motion; the telegraphic stoppage Of
trains started and out of sight, it was
ordered to stop, start again, and re-
turn to the station; two trains started
on the same track, and approaching
each other at an express speed of near
ly one and one-quarter miles minute,
avoided collision by mutually and
automatically warning each other by
an indication of their direction, and
the position, according to kilometer
posts, which they had attained. The
signaling arrangements are carried out
by M. Etienne, the well-known inven-
tor. The fact was established that
every train can be kept within call OF
the station at any point in its route,
and thus one of the most fertile causes
of frightful accidents may now be re-
moved

Decided Against the Union Pacific

Ex- Governor Thomas, of Utah, who,
with his two sons, was returning to Salt
Lake from visit to his ranch near
Caldwell, informed gentleman on the
train Sunday he had been advised that
the supreme court some time ago de-
cided the Snake river bridge case
against the Union Pacific and that the
company must put in draw bridges be-
fore 1896 An official told him it would
be cheaper to build new line via Boise
and the Payette valley than build and
maintain the draws. Another gentle
man on the train Said he had been in
formed that such was the company's in
tention.
Ee. Governor Thomas said be had no
doubt the new line would be built after
the company shall have got settle
ment of the floating debt now maturing.
