The railroad commissioners, at their
regular meeting Wednesday in Augusta,
approved the petition Of the Maine Gem
trail railorad company for a branch track
and crossing of the highway in the
town Of jay, to the Otis Falls Pulp &
Paper Ccmpany's mill.
The board approved the change in the
location of the highway in the town of
Veazie, Oh the line Of the Bangor, Orno
& oldtown street railway. The Maine
Central Railroad Company was the petit
toner in this case and asked that the
electric road cross the Maine Central
track instead of at grade. The commits
sioners decided to change the location Of
the highway SO as to permit crossings of
the Maine Central tracks for the purpose
Of avoiding dangerous grade crossing
which now exists there.
The commissioners also determined that
an overhead steel bridge shall be built by
the Maine Central, at a cost not to ex-
coed 0,O0O, and that twofifths of the-ex-
pense shall be borne by tho street railway.
Outside Of the bridge and within the
limits OF the railway, the expense shall
be borne by the town of Veazie.
The petition Of the Portland & Cape
Elizabeth street railway to cross the
tracks of the Portland railroad in the city
of Portland, was approved by the COM
missioners.
The commissioners are now engaged in
closing out the business Of the year, pre-
paratory to the completion of their annual
report. The board adjourned until this

Lord. She had to pay Lord occasionally

Mr.. Abbott told her that if he prosecuted
her claim she would have to pay no ex
penses unless he got it; also that the
government paid him.
After he took the S1175 for Abbott and
himself she asked why her pension should
cost so much more than others. He SAID
that one witness cost them $500, and the
expenses of getting the pension Were
great. He told her not to say ANYTHING
about the matter because she might lose
her pension if she did

1t was cold day on the watar front

as is was before a clear, cutting wind that
seemed to pierce through the tbickest

he was not greatly encouraged by any

the best port such night.

Letter from FLORIDA.

UMATTLLA, FLA, May Is, lS95--EDI.
TOR HERALD! Thinking that some OF
the many readers Of THE HERALD would
like to hear from the sunny State"
came TO the conclusion that would write
a letter,
The freezes Of last winter left the state
with less wealth and beauty. All Of the
orange trees less than eight years old are
killed to the ground, The people have
sawed the trees off, so that the sprouts
from the roots can have better chance
to grow, and they are doing nicely. Or.
angeS cannot be shipped from this part of
Florida under three years. This state
has never before been visited with such
cold weather, and it was a surprise to the
people to find their trees, which were
loaded with fruit, so chilled by the north
winds that they were destroyed. But the
Florida people and those who live north
and own groves here are having their
groves cared for, and hope, after few
years have passed, to gain profit from
their groves again. The lemon trees,
banana and guava bushes were also froze
out.
The farmers are busy shipping beans,
potatoes, cucumbers and squashes. Early
in the season the price given north for
vegetables was very good, and would
have been better If the first vegetables
had not been frozen. The prices are
very low now, and the farmers will gain
very little till the tomatoes and water.
melons are ready for shipment, which
will be in June. There was more atten.
ton given to farming this year than last
on account Of the freeze, and although
tomatoes and fields of watermelons went
unused last year, alter the owners had
done their shipping, larger amount has
been planted this year. Many fields of
growing corn eau be seen. Strawberries.
when planted on the banks of lakes, are
very fine, and are ripe from March until
the middle of June.
The beautiful spring weather and the
sweet voice of the hooking bird seem to
try to make US forget about the absence
of green orange groves and pretty flow.

The parentsof the infant left at the

ing miles from Lexington, on Wednes
day night, at last have been discovered.
and the child is now safe in its mothers
arms. A young woman heavily yelled
entered Adler's pawnshop and secured
loan on three handsome rings. She then
went to a livery stable and hired buggy,
taking with her a negro woman. She
went to Nieholasville and claimed the
infant, which had been given in charge
OF Mrs. Reynolds by CouatyJudge Phil
lips. She then returned 10 Lexington
and stopped a. Mrs, Bishops nouse on
South Upper street, where she made her
identity known. She stated that tho
father of her child had made other ar.
engagements for its care, but by some
means 1t did not fiud its way 10 the home
intended for it. Learning Of its where.
abouts she determined to have it, as her
heart yearned for the little one She ca
ressed the infant fondly all the while she
was talking. She stoutly refused at first
to disclose the identity of either herself
or the chiId's father, but finally said that
her name was Nettie MacTnnis, Of Boyle
county, and that Thomas Cecil, 81 Dan.
vile, her cousin, was the father of the
babe. -Lexipgton Press. Transcript.

CONTROL OF Summaries,
This Question Is Also Con-
sidered by the United Pres
byterian Assembly.
Provision for the Removal of Pro-
fessors for Unsoundness
In Faith.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 29.-This morn
ing's session of the United Presbyterian
General Assembly was given to hearing
reports. The committee on education
made favorable report, showing that the
seminaries have productive endowments
of 1884, 900, and colleges have an invested
endowment of $34S, 900.
The report of the committee on bills and
overtures was then taken up and the ques-
ton of seminary control was finally dis
posed OF. The majority report proposed that
the General Assembly have the veto power
and also the authority to remove profess
sors from the seminaries for unsoundness
in the faith. The minority report was the
same, except that it stipulated that profess
sors should not be removed without first
being given trial. In to-day's discussion
it was found that the signers of the
majority report had intended that any pro-
lessor charged with unsoundness of faith
should be given a trial before removal, but
the report had not stated so. Consequently
there was no serious division on the ques-
ton, and resolution was passed embody-
ing these propositions. It also provides
for the appointment of committee to
negotiate with the synods having control
of the theological seminaries with view
to the adjustment of any apparent or
alleged discrepancy between this action
and their chartered rights.
