The street RniIrond Conditions.

There is printed in The Phoenix today
the full text of the conditions formulated
by the selectmen and bailffs for the loca-
tion, construction and operation of the
Brattleboro street railroad. These con-
ditions were submitted to the directors of
the company on Monday, and after some
discussion were accepted by them, with
slight notifications, and signed Tuesday
afternoon. Their acceptance changes the
situation from that which existed last week,
in that it relieves the railroad company
from obligation to file specifications under
the law of 1894, and gives the company this
basis to act upon instead. 1t will be found
that, in substance, these conditions relate
to the location of the road, to its manner
of construction, to the kind and quality of
material to be used, to the treatment of the
streets along the line of its roadbed, includ-
ing the removal of snow in winter, to the
regulation of the number of cars to be run,
their speed and time schedule, to the con-
tinuous operation of the road when once
| begun, to the protection of the village fire
alarm and the fire department, to the pro-
lection of the sewer mains and drain pipes
from destruction by ground return currents,
to the saving of the town and village from
! loss on account of the construction and op-
Grafton of the road, to the suitable strength
ening of bridges crossed by the road, and

Mrs. John Oney, an aged seamstress,
dropped dead in the opera house at Rut-

Frank Walker.
The annual meeting of the f. & T.
Fairbanks company of St. Johnsbury was
held Wednesday, and S. n. Brown of Bos-
ton was chosen president, succeeding the
late Franklin Fairbanks; Henry Fairbanks
and John c. Clark of st. JOhnsbury, vice
president and secretary and treasurer, re-
spectiyely.
George Fay, 65, for 35 years member OF
the firm of Crocker, Burbank Il Co., died
in Fitchburg, Mass, Wednesday. He was
president of the Vermont & Massachu-
setts railroad, prominent in politics, a di-
rector of the Turner's Falls Water Power

other institutions.
Six persons were probably fatally burn,

by the fire which followed, IN a sweatshop

heroic conduct of a colored teamster-

appeals for help, five of the unfortunates
would not have been taken alive from the
garret.

our legislature pass a measure incorpo
rating the company Nicaragua canaD, but
some of the largest blocks of the stock ar,
also owned in this state. The estate o.
the late Frederick Billings of Woodstock
holds over 1900 share and the estate of the
late Col. Franklin Fairbanks of st. Johns
bury owns about 1900 shares" The stocl
| is quoted at about SO share.
| The decline in the value of "our col
league, the horse" as Prof. Tyndall call
him, is one of the remarkable facts of tn,
period. In 1894, good horses which haC
been worth 5000 and $500 began to sell a
$50 and $50, and those of the hack vari
ETY. at much lower figures. At the recen
Madison Square Garden sale of bloodet
horses only, those with first-class pedigree
and of perfect beauty and style, whicl
would have sold few years ago for $3.50
apiece, went for from $3.50 to 5000; an,
one which had brought $500 as a yearlinI
sold for $175. The explanation of thi
"slump" is to be found in the extension o
the use of electricity as a motive power, an,
the growing popularity of the bicycle.

About $50 incorporated towns OF Indiana

About 80 incorporated towns of Indiana
held elections for local officers Tuesday
"In more than half the towns the only
issue was the enforcement of the laws reg
ulating the sale of Intoxicating drinks,
while in other towns the only question
considered was that of allowing live stock
to run at large" Both parties put tickets
in the field and as a rule the Republicans
were successful. Republican politicians of
the state, while not attaching great i'm.
portance to the election, say that the re-
suit indicates clearly that the people are
not ready to vote the Democratic ticket
even when local affairs are involved. The
Democratic party is so badly torn up on
the silver question just now that it prob
ably could not hold together long enough
to conduct local campaign. The state
committee is being condemned because it
will not call a state convention to take
action on the silver question.

Nearly 1000 Electric Roads.

These five years have indeed done won
ders in the domain of street railroading in
this country, and have even set our trans
atlantic friends to work following our ex-
ample, says a writer in Scribner's maya
zine. To give some idea of the extent to
which electricity has displaced the horse,
and on the other hand, been instrumental
in creating new roads, we need only cite
the fact that at the present time there are
over $50 electric railways in the United
States operating over 1000 miles of track
and $4,000 cars, and representing capital
investment of over four hundred million
dollars. What stupendous figures, when
we consider that in 1887 the number of
such roads amounted to only 13, with
scarcely 100 cars.

In concluding the final peace negotia-
tions Japan yielded to the protest of Rus
sia and relinquished all claim to the Lao
Tung peninsula on the mainland of China,
including Port Arthur. In return for this
concession Japan will receive an additional
indemnity of s5O,OOo,OOO. The reason for
Russa's anxiety to keep this territory out
of Japan's hands is well known. For
years it has been the ambition of Russia
to secure protected terminal for her trans
Siberian railway, and naval station for
her Pacific feet which would not be closed
by ice during large portion of the year
The occupation by Japan of the Manchu-
rian peninsula and the domination of the
adjacent seas by the fortress captured from
China would have had the effect of pre-
venting the accomplishment of these hopes

The YEARLY NIirncle.

The miracle of the New England spring
has never been more marvelously wrought
before the very eyes of those who live in its
midst than during the past seven days.
One week ago the early flowers and flow
ering bulbs were in bloom and the lawns
were growing green, but there was only a
suggestion of greenness in the swelling
buds of the trees. Saturday proved a sui
try day, such as vegetation delights in, fol
lowed by a succession of days of summer
heat, with a shower or two between, and
presto, what change. The maple leaves
fell out of their sheaths to the size of half
dollars, the leaves of the horse-chestnuts
suddenly appeared, seemingly already half
grown; by Wednesday the pear trees were
white with bloom; yesterday the apple
blossoms were showing their beautiful
colors and theIpeach trees blushed a ruddy
pink; today some of the earlier apple trees
in sheltered places are mass of bloom
and still the wonder grows. 1t seems al
most impossible that the BIattleboro of
this morning, with its trees thick with
young leaves and beginning to cast a
grateful shade in the streets, is the same
Brattleboro where a week ago the trees
stood almost in their winter nakedness.
1t is the old story of Lowel's "New Eng
land spring over again, but none the less
a revelation because so often repeated

The season of year ago, with almost
continuous warm weather during April
was counted a marvel of eariness, but at
the present rate of progress this season will
discount it by the 18th. It makes one
shiver little to remember what freeze
there was on the night of May IA last year
May this years May cold spell be little
less ambitious to beat the record.

Salvador's stroke of diplomacy carried

Louis Globe Democrat which remarks in
this connection that: zone good thing to
be saidlof 'old glory is that it has never
been run up on foreign soil in an attempt
to bully a small and defenceless nation"
1t is now said that the story of that
hypnotic murder case in Kansas was
fake, written up by a correspondent
who thought he knew a good thing when
he saw it. The judge who tried the case
is quoted as declaring that the question of
hypnotism was not once raised at the
trial, and that the principal escaped
while the accessory was convicted is due to
the fact that they were tried before
different juries. We now wait patiently to
learn which story is the real fake.
