WASHINGTON COUNTY'S RAILWAYS.
Nothing has been definitely learned con-
corning The standing of the railroad COM
mittee on that vexed question OF the Wash
ington county railroad. but it is believed
that ifthe bill in favor of the extension of
t1,, III .ba rtar lie
fayorably reported so will be the bill in
favor of the extension of Col. Green's shore
line charter, although This bin may not get
a report signed by a majority of the COM
mttee. When the question comes up in the
House, it is said that Mr.. Lawrence of
Lubec, who so vigorously opposed county
aid to the other railroad scheme, will make
an equally vigorous campaign for Col.
GREEN'S charter. and will have a determined
following behind him. So the lively hearing
OF this question is likely not to be the last
of it.
CAUSES DISAPPOINTMENT.
The rumored action of the Judiciary COM
mittee declining OF report a bill giving the
commissioners to fish and game, jurisdiction
in matters that have heretofore heeE taken
cognizance of by the legislature, in special
legislation relating to fish and game, is
creating much disappointment and
surprise.
