RAILROAD MATTERS.
RumOred Deal by Which Boston Would
 Open to the Consolidated Road.

Rumored Deal by Which Boston Would
 Open to the Consolidated Road.
 The rumor comes from Boston of ne gotiations which would open the gates of that city to the Consolidated railroad locomotives. The story had it's origin in a meeting of railroad magnates at Parker's Friday, at which were present President Clark of the Consolidated road and Vice Presidents Futile and Mellin. As the story goes. the Consoi- dated wants either the New England or the Old Colony. A few days ago, if dame rumor is correct, the control of the New England was offered the Con- solidated people at a figure closely ap- proXimating $15 per share on the $20,- 000,000 of common stock outstanding President Clark is reported to have said repeatedly that the Consolidated would take the New England for its second mortgage bonds, of which majority are said to lie in New Haven strong boxes, and once admitted that they might take it and give something for the preferred stock. In case the Con- solidated declines the New England the Old Colony is open to them, and gossip on the latter is to the effect that deal is near.
 It is said that the Consolidated road has determined to change the route of the Washington express from the New England to the Shore Line road, on next Sunday. The train is a source of great revenue to the New England.

FEAR A GREAT FLOOD.
The Warm Weather Causes Apprehension
 Along the NIODongahela.


 Along the MODonGahela.
 PIrTsBURG, Jan. 23.-rhe warmer weather and rain here and at up-river points furnishes good ground for the gravest anxiety among people with prop erty interests in or along the rivers, par ticularly the Monongahela.
 A pilot here from as far up as Morgan town, w. Va, states that the conditions for 70 miles are such that only, the most gradual thawing weather would avert great disaster. He says that what will be literally moving mountains of ice will come down with any considerable rise, getting a good start in weight and vol ume of ice with the opening of the big gorge at Morgantown, where the ice is from two to fifteen feet deep for miles.
 Everyone here is apprehensive of a great flood when the thaw comes. Many merchants and others doing business along the river front have taken time by the forelock and have removed their goods from the cellars to the upper floors of their buildings.

Says He Was Not Drugged in the Cooley
 House Alleged on Saturday.
 Commercial travellers as a rule are generally considered pretty good fel- lows and are jovial even in reverses, but an oddity has been found in the person of Philip Burch, a representative of New York electrical supply firm. As reported in Saturdays DEMOCRAT he claimed he had been druggt d Tn the Cooley house and in- veigled into a game of poker, and fieeced of nearly S100. He attempted on Saturday to secure a warrant for Daniel Fl. Buckley's arrest, he being one of the proprietors of the hotel and a participant in the game. He also pre- ferred charges against Mir Buckley for selling intoxicants after hours, which charge was pressed in the police court this morning. This afternoon MT Burch received the representatives of the different papers in Constable O'Brien's office, and there made the following statement for publication: "I withdraw all my charges in the matter of being drugged. They were only made on supposition and after serious reflection l see that I was wrong, and will there fore not press any case against Mir Buckley" MT Buckley was present during the interview, and felt that he was entitled to a public retractiOn of an accusation which would tend to in iure his business. Mir Burch also de- nied that he was intoxicated at the time, but said he was nervous and ex- cited.

MESSENGERS WILL REPORT To-DA>

MESSENGERS WILL REPORT TO-DAY. Believed That Most of the Missing EloC- torm Certificates Will be Filed by Night.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The missing cer- titicates of the electoral colleges of several States which ought to have been deliv- cred by special messenger into the hands of the President of the Senate before the fourth Monday in January, have not come to hand as yet day, but intima- tions have been received that most of them are on the way and may be expected by night.
 Fourteen States have failed to com ply with the law by sending on their cleo tornl certificates by messenger, and many of those States which have complied with the law have done so in so slipshod a manner that if the late election had been ill any way close the official ascer- tainment of the result under the consti- tuition and the laws might have been made almost impossible and the whole government might have been thrown into chaos.
 The failure of so many States to com ply in matter of such vital importance us the election of the President and Vice President has called attention to the ad- visibility of the passage of general law to regulate the form of certificates to be issued in such cases.
