BosToN's OLD DEPOT.
How the New England Station Was
 Burned and Rebuilt.

i1UW tue INeW hllSieIllu olellloh " eN9
 Burned and Rebuilt.
 On account of it's intimate relation ship to the checkered career of the road itself, the history of the New Eng land passenger station at the foot of Summer street, Boston, now in process of demolition, will be recalled with considerable interest just now by the thousands of people who have entered and left it during he last sixteen years.
 It's original predecessor was erected away back in 1854, the first New York line, via Norwich, having been opened in January, 1855. It was subsequently abandoned and reopened in 1866 as the Boston, Hartford and Erie railroad, the station itself having been opened for business on April of that year.
 The great fire in 1872 wiped out the old structure, but while the contiagra- ton was still raging uptown, the work of rebuilding it was under way. This prompt work was due to the energetic action of Charles F. Clark the pres ent head of the New Haven and New England roads, who was at that time 5GlGIul IllttlletB5I Ol the NEW IOIh anu New England, this corporation having succeeded the old Boston, Hartford and Erie.
 As soon as he saw that the station was doomed MT. Clark secured the ser- vices of a. well known Newton carpen- ter and gave him instructions to secure all the men he could find and begin the erection of new building as soon as the old one was destroyed. The necessary lumber was purchased, prin- cipally from dealers along the line of the road, and work was begun imme- diately.
 The roof girders of the train shed adjoining the present headhouse were Boston, where the company's round- house is now located, and these same ~irders are to be taken back to almost the identical spot where they were made and used in a new freight house to be built there.
 The present headhouse, which, with the illuminated clock, has always been the most conspicuous portion of the station to the travelling public, was erected in 1SS0 In those sixteen years it has witnessed the arrival and depar- ture of a good many thousand passen- gers, including some of the most dis tinguished people of this and other countries. It has witnessed great many changes both in policy and man. agement.
 When Austin Corbin was president of the road in 1892 he had the plans all z IL. 1fn AlolN rate new station and the occupants of the newsstand and restaurant in the old building had even been notified to remove, but history has once more re- peated itself in New York and New England affairs and MT. Corbin's ad- ministration came to an untimely end. while his projected new station re- mained veritable castle in the air,
 Tn it's stead will come the newer and grander terminal station.

THE LEAGUE NOT LIABLE.
So Says Secretary Thrasher of the Law
 and Order Organization.


 and Order Organization.
 When the question of confscating the liquors seized several Sundays ago in the saloon of Thomas Twitchell at Saw in Rock came up yesterday morning before Judge Bryant, Attorney Good hard asked for the dismissal of the case on the ground that the affidavit of the prosecuting agent had been omitted in the warrant. The court later in the day allowed the liquors to be removed by MT. Twitchell
 There was some talk last evening as to the liability of the Law and Order league for the seizure of the liquors. Secretary Thrasher, who was seen in regard to the case said;
 The league is in no sense liable for trespass in the case referred to, as the warrant was served by Officer Johnson of West Haven, assisted by two men who have no connection with the league. The warrant was duly signed by Judge Bryant. There was a simple clerical error made by the judge omit ting the name of the prosecuting at- torney in one place on the warrant
 T do not think Mir Goodhart's s point is well taken, as the liquors could have been seized without a warrant under the law of 1895, but certainly neither the officer nor his assistants, nor any person connected with the league, is in any way liable.'
