rectots Elected Note, Personals
and Matters Of the Raft.

A clever idea of an employee OF the Cen
trail Vermont road saved that road two cars
loaded with machinery few days ago. Tho
Rutland railroad has lately been taken out
Of the hands OF the Central Vermont. and
the latter road, in pursuance of its ar
rangements for securing It's rights. started
to haul off two cars of machinery from the
Rutland repair shops about o'clock in
the morning, The Rutland employe dis
covered the scheme just in time to couple
an engine TO the rear OF the cars while the
Vermont people had locomotive attached
TO tho other end. The tug of war began.
The Rutland's engine was the heaviest
and slowly but surely began hauling the
machinery and the Central's engine In the
opposite direction, when n Central employee
thought Of trick that saved the night and
secured the train for his company. The
Cetrals engine was suddenly reversed, nj
given signal throwing the cars against
the Rutland engine, making 1t possible to
pull the pin, and in an instant the Con-
trails locomotive and the machinery was
going in the other direction. The central
Vermont officials now refuse TO tell where
the cars are.
