From now until election the voters
should accept with great caution any
statement emanating from Anaconda.
The campaign in support Of that towns
candidacy has resolved itself into an
unbroken string Of falsehoodF, and
even an occasional bit NJ forgery is in
jccted into Il. The more desperate their
straits the harder they lie. Look out
for some kirg pins between this and the
outcome. Nothing can be to outrageous
for them eagerly 10 take advantage or.
n Il promises To make vote for Ana
cunda. The people Of the state have al
ready seen 10 what extremes Of false
hood. deceit and indecency the great
corporations agents Will go. but these
things are mere iests compared with
what viii yet be specially
In the last two or three days of the cam
paign, when II Is too late for any Off
olal denial, or dlsproof Of their lnfamy.
Therefore the voters must be prepared
personally 70 meet these outrages in
whatever locality they may appear. and
see that the people Of this great free
state are not lied out Of their rights at
the last moment by the corporations
hirelings.
Watch also the ballot box and the
capital count. Let every honest man
mike himself a committee Of one for
this purpose. and stand up unhinchingly
10 the duty OF the hour.
DO these things and the state will bo
safe-the great Anaconda corporation
win never get the stranglo hold on Mon
tann's prosperity.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-01-01

New York, New Haven and Hartford
Road, the ratifying of these leases and the
transfer of the lands OF the respective
corporations. Another source Of delay
has been the examination and perfection
of the titles of the lands to be sold and
exchanged between the City and the rail-
roads.
The management of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Road desired modifi-
cations Of the plans previously agreed
upon by the New York, Providence and
Boston and Old Colony Railroads and the
representatives of the city. These
changes, however, provide for enlarged
facilities in Providence and the purchase
of additional land from the city. While
these negotiations were in progress
changes in management on the part OF
the New York & New England road con-
tributed to the postponcment OF the
work.
II is gratifying for me to be able to an
nounce that all legal questions involved
in this matter of better terminals in
Providence have now been settled.
The deeds from the City Of Providence
conveying certain OF the Cove Lands
to the respective railroad corporations
have been executed, and the City Council
at its meeting on Thursday OF last week
approved and ratified these deeds. A deed
has also been executed by the railroad
companies conveying to the City all Of
the property agreed to be exchanged by
them, including the present passenger
station. BY these convoyances, the
City transfers to the railroad companies
land OF the value OF 500, 2,265, and the
CITY purchases land valued mt sf26.560,
thus leaving balance due TO the City OF
si77,70j. These conveyances, however,
cover only the lands east of the centre
line OF old Gaspee street, which were to
be sold 10 the railroads at sI.25 per square
foot in accordance with the agreement
entered into Jan. I, 1892.
The railroads have already expended
more than one million dollars upon this
work, the foundations for the new Union
passenger station are being constructed,
and | am satisfied thats the New York,
New Haven & Hartford manage
ment is working in good faith
and using every effort to push the
