The Central Vermont Rumors.

The Manchester Mirror of Tues
day says: 1t is rumored among Man
chester railroad men that the Boston
u Maine road management will at
tempt to get control of the Central
Vermont road. This road was forced
into a receivers hands some time
since, it is said, by the Grand Trunk
road to compel the payment of GER
tain claims. This to competing lines
looked like move to obtain control,
and the Boston & Maine has turned
its attention to the matter, and is
looking the ground over thoroughly
to learn just where the road stands
before making arrangements with
the receiver to operate the road. 1t
is reported that the Boston & Maine
management now has an expert at
St. Adams, who is taking careful ac-
count of the rolling stock and other
property of the road. SO that he can
make IL report of its value that will
be equivalent to IN appraisal of thc
whole outfit.

The promise OF a playground the

IN baseball matters and athletics gen

there would be some games here

the village meeting last anpary gave
the trustees full power to go ahead
and put the ground kindly donated
by Mr.. Vail into shape for use, and
work will begin on 1t as soon as the
ground can be drained, it now being
III somewhat swampy condition.
No plans have vet been made, and
operations this year will be on a
small scale. but the trustees will
look over the ground soon and de-

there is considerable water to be got

The work of organizing town
team has already begun, and with
plenty of excellent material at hand
there is good prospect that supe-

that will be able to hold its own

The High School will also have a
team, which will add to the interest
in local sports.
\ dozen or more of the best play

Mr.. Sawyer's Dwlndling Wooaplle.
The Springfield Reporter, in its
Fclchville items, informed ali anx-
ious public last week that Mr.. Ned
Sawyer of that place was working
up his woodpile. Now some cap
tious critics might think such an item
unimportant, but no doubt the in
habitants OF Felchville take lively
interest in that woodpile and pass
many happy hour leaning on the
dooryard fence and watching Mr.
Ned Sawyer industriously saw wood,
and the rest of the world feels kindly
disposed toward the provident Saw
yer, whose occupation is precisely
the same as that in which the rest of
us are more unostentatiously en-
ployed. - Randolph Helald.

BATHROOM APPLIANCES,

The great improvement made in
this line of goods during the past
two years has made Gas stoves for
summer use supersede coal oil or
gasoline stoves wherever gas can be
used.
The safety and economy of their
use is apparent, there being no
smell, no SCOT, smoke or explosives.
For cooking they excel all kinds
of summer stoves, having Il uniform
ity of heat that cannot be obtained
from oil or gasoline. The degree of
heat can be controlled without
trouble, and the stove left to do its
work with perfect safety.
These stoves can be seen at the
store of E. f. WARDwELL, who will
take orders to furnish any kind not
i'll stock, which can be supplied on
few days notice.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The stock market
today, although at times irregular, dis
played strength ending in positive buoy
ancy. The considerations of the bearing
upon prices were varied, but the pivotal
influence was the comprehensive plans thaf
are being formulated for the protection OF
the treasury gold reserve. The opening
was active and materially higher on local
and foreign buying for both accounts ana
a strong market for American securities In
London. Prices reacted in most instances,
close to noon, rumors became current OF
impending important developments on the
bull side and finally 1t was learned that
4 meeting of all of the representative gold
shipping firms had been called to take
place at noon, at the Office of ]. P. Morgan
& Company. Coincidentally. reports of an
authoritative character obtained circula-
ton to the effect that the results OF the mis-
sionary work of the leading bank presi-
dents for the maintenance of the gold re-
serve would be more successful than had
hitherto appeared probable. A general up
ward movement occurred not only in stocks
but in the bond market, where some SEN
prices were carried In some cases to the
best figures of the. forenoon. The closing
was at the top notch. The bond market
failed to respond finally to the late aggres.
sve strength on the stock speculation and
although marked improvement was re-
corded in the speculative issues, heaviness
was discernible in the usual inactive mort
ment bonds ruled firm and slightly higher
in some cases, on dealings of $151. 900. Sill
yer certificates were in demand and rose
to 693s on sales of $4,000.
