RAILROAD MATTERS.
Boston 8 Maine.


The Philadelphia Press says relative to
the gossip of consolidation between the
Boston & Maine and New York, New
Haven and Hartford roads: Henry M.
Whitney, who if he wasssin politics would
be likely to achieve quite as great sue
cess as his brother, William G.. has
done, is convinced that complete union
of the properties is inevitable. There is
some suspicion here that Mr.. Whitney
retired recently from the management of
some of the Boston street railway proper
ties in order to develop certain Canadian
railway combinations which would act
in harmony and close relations with these
two great,New England railway systems"
Mr. Whitney, it is said, undoubtedly re-
signed the Presidency of the West End
railway to give his attention to his Pro-
vincial interests. That he was fastened
to this step, however, by the fact that he
and his board of directors did not agree
on many important points, the Boston
Journal says, is an open secret. An ALI
ance of the Maine and New Haven roads
had no more to do with it than the pro-
posed reorganization of Reading.

Fossil Flour Company,

The Fossil Flour Company. recently
organized under the laws of Maine, has
leased the westerly portion of Browns
wharf for the silica business. Wednes-
day, workmen began the erection of a
three-story wooden building, 100 feet
long and 40 feet wide. 1t is expected
that the building will be completed in
about six weeks and that business will
be started shortly after. The company
has purchased several ponds in Canada,
out of which the sand is dug, which be-
ing dried and treated forms itself into a
chalky substance known as silica. The
president of the corporation is Walter A.
Peck of Providence; Charles E. Mitchell
of Bangor is general manager, and W. L.
Haynes is treasurer.

Mr.. MILLIKEN's COLTS.
They Gambolled on the Railway Track
Until the Train Came Along.-Then there
was a Scattering.

The disaster to the colts Tin the pasture
of Weston Milliken, Esq, at Stroud
water, was not SO serious as at first re-
ported. Mr.. Miliiken's farm is the old
Henry Fowler place, by the railroad.
In the pasture he had ten fine colts, some
of them Of high breeding, worth thous-
and dollars or more apiece. There were
also two more ordinary colts which had
recently come into the possession of the
Milliken Tomlinson Co. Sometime Tues
day in the course of some repairs being
made by the railroad, the pasture fence
was taken down and not replaced proper
". The colts took advantage of this,
and the whole body of them jumped
over on to the railroad right of way,
where they proceeded to enjoy themselves.
This was the state of things when the
evening train over the Ogdensburg divis-
on came. dashing towards Portland. 1t
ran right into the group of colts, scat
tering them in all directions Two of
the colts ran along ahead of the engine,
but were Of course overtaken and SO seri-
ously injured when they were thrown
from the track that s.they had to be
killed. These two sswere the ordinary
coltssbelonging to the company. One.of
Mr.. Milliken's colts, lin running away,
went into barbed wire fence and was
badly cut. But with this exception the
herd escaped without serious or even
slight injuries. This was very fortunate
in view of the bad situation in which
the animals were placed.

$4,000.

The alarm of fire rung in at 9.15 last
evening was for blaze in the building
No. 1875 Commercial street, occupied by
John Hernandez as a restaurant and
cigar factory. The fire appeared to be

stove used for cooking, and evidently
caught from the stove. 1t was found
necessary to put on several streams of
water, which quickly extinguished the
blaze, but left dense smoke. Mr.. Her
nandez stated that his stock was valued
at about $4,000, and that he had about
$4,000 insurance. The loss could not be
estimated last night, as part Of the
stock is such as to become worthless by
wetting.

is 80 great that every one can choose to
her liking. The weavers and designers
have given us and keep giving us new
delights in goods that can be washed and
made up fresh and crisp every week if
need be.
There is cotton challis as light as
cheesecloth in texture, and yet it is fine
and sheer, and it comes in all the most
delicate shades. of which the pale hello

most popular. These when neatly made
with little lace and bit Of ribbon as a
finish are among the very prettiest of the
warm day frocks, and they wash beauti-
fully.

a new design for these called street hello

Rnnth,s CarcfnIness.

A Boston jeweler who had occasion
from time to time to manufacture jew
els for Edwin Booth, the tragedian, to
be worn in different characters, says he
was extremely conscientious in having
them made not only of the best mate
rial. but as near as possible historically
correct. In having a costly crown Of
gold and precious stones made for the
character of Richard III he sent to Lon
don to get the correct design. So in the
jewels for the character Of Richelieu he
took great pains to consult the best au-
thorities. 1t did not satisfy him to be
told that the real could not be distin-
guished from the imitation on the stage;
hence he bought the costliest laces and
materials for his costumes.-NewY York

It may seem superfuous to say that
one can not put old heads on young
shoulders, yet it is truth of which
many parents require to be reminded
who are very anxious for their boys to
'get on" and who deplore with up
lifted eyes their offspring's fondness of
adventure books That is the tend
ency Of tho average boy. Occasionally
tho precocity of genius asserts itself in
q Goethe, Shelley or Byron; but,
speaking generally childhood is mentally
prone to follow after the new and the
wonderful. 1t is principle the opera
ton of which should not be interfered
with as long as boys excursions into
the realm Of fiction are kept within rea-
sonsble bounds.--Chambers' Journal.

In that which seldom spoiled her happy
face-a good 'scry." For she doubted
not that she had forfeited her place in
the minister's esteem.
She was not surprised, then, when
Aunt Dorothy met her with: 'sNow you
have done it! My goodness. don't
know what to do with you! You're
enough to try saints patiencer'
But Nellie was surprised when her
aunt handed her q note from Mr.. Hayi-

pie who lived several miles away.
"Shall go?" she asked her aunt.
''Of courseS No use making matters
worse by refusing
So Nellie said she would accompany
the minister, though her sensitive nature
rebelled against the trial.
After packing basket of food for the
poor people, Nellie waited in nervous
