The Central Vermont railroad was
successful last week in the suit
brought in Grand Isle county court by
Nelson Young of Alburgh for DANA
ges arising out of the destruction of
his store, barn and store house, with
contents, April s, 1898. The case is
a important one, because it estab
fishes a precedent for similar suits
which are more or less frequent oc
currences. 1t was claimed on the
part of the plaintiff that, in passing
Alburgh station at about 900 p. m. on
the above date, spark from an en-
CINE hauling special west bound
freight set fire to hay barn, and the
flames communicated from that to
Young's buildings. Accordingly, he
brought suit against the road to re-
cover damage for the loss of his
buildings and stock. The questions
at issue were, first, was the fire set 10y
the locomotive? Second, if set by the
locomotive, was it from the neglect
of the defendant in not providing
suitable and proper appliances, and
keeping them in good repair and fur
nishing suitable and competent train
men? Third, did the engineer operate
his engine in prudent and careful
manner.

If appearances count for anything,
the Republicans of Boston are practi
cally unanimous in favor of Gov.
Greenhalge's denomination. The time
for filing nominations of delegates to
the Republican State Convention has
expired without developing any OPP
position worth considering. This is
as it should be. Sober second thought
seems to have convinced everybody
that to refuse the Governor the Gus
tomary honor of a third term, be-
cause of dissatisfaction with a few of
his official acts, would be neither wise
nor expedient, and the influences
which were supposed to be at work
against him have subsidized. There is
now every indication that he will be
renominated by reclamation and of
course reelected by a very large ma
jority.

THE BIG YACHT RACE.

The great yacht races between the
American cup defender, The Defender
and the English ship, Valkyrie III,
have created great interest on both
sides of the Atlantic. Both boats are
new, built by the best men in either
country, on the best-known models,
and at an enormous expense. The
owners Of each are great sporting
characters, millionaires, and the race
is as important as anything possibly
can be, except war itself, as a thing
of contest between the two great in
vincible nations. Almost all there is
of English pluck and Yankee spunk
many years that the Americans have
been victors in international yacht
races and the English have coveted
the opportunity to win back the cup.
This year they have laid themselves
out to win and they will go home sui
len and disappointed if they are de-
feated. The first race was sailed Sept.
9TH, when the Defender won by over
eight minutes. The next Tuesday
the second contest was had. In cross
by accident the British ship came in
so close to the Yankee that there was
a collision of the topsails of the two
vessels by which some of the sail gear
of the Defender was broken and in
iured much to her Inconvenience, and,
as her captain claimed, her hindrance
in sailing. The race was made under
protest, however, and the Englishman
had the best of it by 40 seconds. The
committee, after learning the facts,
lated the rules and the race was given
to the Defender. Of course this rails
ed the British ire and presaged trou-
BILE. The third race was set for Thurs
day, and preparations were made for
the start. Meanwhile the owner of
the Valkyrie, Lord Dunraven, had
written the committee, complaining
that his ship had been hampered and
hindered by the great numbers of
steamers and sailing craft which had
gone out to witness the contest. This
was true to some extent, affecting
both contestants alike, naturally.
Thursday morning great effort was
made to keep the course entirelyIclear.
but it happened that pilot boat was
seen inside the line and Dunraven re-
fused to sail. The Defender went on,
made the race and was declared the
winner. The fact, without doubt, is
that the American is little the swift
est sailer, and the Englishmau is dis
appointed and is seeking some pre-
tense or excuse for the flu Ike. If there
is anything reasonable that can be
done to let the Valkyrie have chance
or two more, we hope it will be done.
Americans want fair play, and if there
has been anything unjust let it be
righted. But our British cousins must
remember that the Yankee will not be
licked if he can help it; and that he
will not give away victory unless he
is compelled to do it. What the out
come will be is hard to tell at this
writing.

The Company viii Give the Land to the

The Scranton Traction company.
through its attorney. Horace =. Hand,
yesterday afternoon announced that 1t
will make an absolute and unqualihed

land At the request Of the West Side

agreed to allow their demand for double

up as an after consideration.

present and besides these T. F. Mason

Various propositions for bettering the
service were discussed. A double track
as far as Ninth street and q belt line
over Ninth to Swetland and thence
down Main to the different connec-
tions. returning to Lackawanna avenue
by the present route. Vice President
Clark agreed that this might be an
Improvement, but argued that 1t did
not solve the question Of a first ella ss
service. What he firmly believed to be
necessary is double track road from
FRANKLIN avenue to Luzerne street.
The committee would not give an
expression of opinion on any Of the
company's propositions which called for
double tracks, and insisted on a separa-
tion OF the double track question and
the question of conveying to the city the
Robinson street strip of land.
Unqualified Transfer Of the Land.
After short consultation the Trac-
ton people authorized Mr.. Hand to an
nounce the company's willingness to
make an unqualified transfer and at
this the conference broke up after a
vote OF thanks had been rendered the
