RAILROAD AFFAIRS.
Efforts to Raise Fresh Capital For tn
 New England,

Efforts to Raise Fresh Capital For the New England.
 Efforts have been revived to raise fresh capital for the New York & New England road in order to enable it to meet the claims against it and prevent foreclosure sale, resulting from default in February interest. Russell Sage has encouraged this work. MT Sage said yesterday that he did not believe that the road would be wiped out or fall into the hands of the New York, New Haven & Hartford. He thought it would be an unfortunate outcome for the New England's trouble for no one wanted to see complete railroad mon opoly in the territory between New York and Boston. ''I have seen the New Eng land road in even worse condition" he said, ''and it has been brought out of it's troubles and retained it's independence" MT Sage intimated that he was ready to assist theSrehabilitation of the property on sound basis, and he said that he thought the friends of the company were strong enough to save it if they tried to do so.
 For some time the cars have been broken into in the Putnam yards, and the New York & New England company has been robbed by the wholesale. Yesterday Station Agent Weir was informed that six seals were broken. An investigation was made and some of the stolen property was found in the houses of Lauder Guiot and Louis Duprey.
 A great deal of credit is due to the local officials of the New England road for the able manner in which they arc handling the business of the road during the long i tie up of locomotive power. Notwith- standing the fact that twenty-eight of their best freight engines have been standing idle since December 28, they have been able to handle without delay, the great | amount of freight which has been de- livered to them and which has not fallen off to the degree so generally supposed. William Mcintyre, aged 3S, of Putnam, brakeman on a freight going north, met with serious accident at Blackstone yes terday. While the train was crossing the Blackstone bridge he slipped and fell off the caboose to the ground below, dis tance of fifty feet. His right leg was broken and he received internal injuries.
 The New York, New Haven < Hartford road has notified the New York & New England road that in the future they will require the prepayment of all freight re- ceived from the New England road for points on the line of the New Haven road.

Another Report From Brazil.

RIO JANEIRo, Jan 12.-Later reports of the explosion at Fort Vile Gaignon show that it was more serious than at first re- ported. It is now stated that fully fifteen persons were killed and many injured. The exact nature of the explosion is as yet unknown. One report is that gun burst and another that magazine blew up. The explosion aboard Admiral De Gama's flagship was also n very serious accident, in which a number of lives were lost. President Peixoto's position is daily be- coming stronger, and it looks as if he would surely triumph over Mello.

Men and Women Printers.

The "New Haven Union," Mir Troup's paper, which is set up now on Thorne typesetting machines, IS in a quarrel with the Typographical Union. The places at the machines. which were recently intto- duced were first given to men. MT Troup says they deliberately pied the type and made errors and planned to make the ma- chimes failure. Thereupon he put girls results. The office has been declared a ''non-union" office, though few years ago the "Union" was the organ of the Typo graphical union and MT Troup one of it's leaders.

CARLISLE MAY RESIGN.
1t Is Reported That He Has Until Feb. 1 In Which to Consider an Offer of $25, 900 Year-Mrs. Carlisle Wants to See Him In the White House.

1t Is Reported That He Has Until Feb. l
 In Which to Consider an Offer of $s5, 900
 Year-Mrs. Carlisle Wants to Sec Him
 In the White House.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 12-A morning paper publishes today the following from Wash ington: Secretary John G. Carlisle has un- til the 1st of next month to decide whether he will continue to earn $, 900 year as secretary of the treasury or make $25, 900 year as president and legal adviser of a big financial institution which is now being organized by some of the leading capital ists of Ohio and the adjoining states.
 Secretary Carlisle has consulted with a number of his friends, and nearly all of them have told him that he ought to ac- cept the offer.
 Mrs. Carlisle Ambitious.
 MT. Carlisle is not millionaire, but he has never been very ambitious for wealth. Mrs. Carlisle is opposed to her husbands leaving public life, having ambitions for him politically. She believes that he will yet reach the White House.
 Some of MT. Carlisles friends say that he could continue secretary of the treas ury until the financial difficulties and the tariff legislation are arranged, and then it would he good time for him to retire tenn porarily from public life. He would retire at the height of his success, and the money he would earn in the meantime would be necessary should he become a presidential candidate.
 Mir. Carlisle says to his friends in con- gress that the condition of finances is alarm ing and that something must be done at once. He had the members of the senate finance committee with him nearly all day, and they went over'the situation carefully. He appealed to them to take prompt action to protect the credit of the government by authorizing him to sell per cent bonds to the amount of $500, ,OO0, 900 if necessary.
 MT. Carlisle has always held that in an emergency the secretary of the treasury under the law of 1878, has right to sell $200, ,000,0 900 in bonds at 5 per cent interest.
 His Bond Bill.
 Senator Sherman, who is strongly in favor of issuing bonds in accordance with MT. Carlisle's wish, framed the bill that gives the secretary of the treasury his pres ent authority. The Ohio statesman claims that these bonds were to be used for re- demption and that he doubts very much whether they can be used for any other purpose. He says that this would raise q doubt as to its legality, and with this 8 question it might be exceedingly difficult to sell per cent bonds.
 While it is likely that the bill authoriz- ing the secretary of the treasury to sell bonds could pass the senate, it is extremely doubtful if it could pass the house at the present time. In talk with MT. Cochran about this he stated that he is very much afraid that the bond bill could not get through. The western and southern con gressmen regard anything in the form of bonds as an iniquitous scheme of Wall street, and they will not vote for it.
