The hearing assigned by the railroad
commissioners upon the petition of the
Wiscasset & Quebec Railroad, for per-
mission to cross at grade the Maine
Central Railroad at Burnham, was
held at the West End hotel at Port
land, Saturday forenoon, and it proved
to be very lively meeting.
General Manager Evans of the
Maine Central Railroad, and Hon. E.
F. Webb of Waterville. appeared to
protest against the w. & Q. Railroad
crossing the Maine Central at grade
crossing. while General Manager
Fogg. Attorney Judge w. c. Philbrook,
J. w. Manson, ESQ. and eX-Attorney
General Charles e. Littlefield appeared
for the petitioners.
Civil Engineer F. J. Illsley of Port
land, was examined at considerable
length relative to his surveys of the
new line, and his estimates of cost of
crossing overhead, which the Maine
Central insists should be used. He did
not think it feasible for the w. & Q.
to cross underneath the Maine Central,
and that a trestle $50 feet in length
could be put in for about $6000
Attorney Littlefield appeared for
Contractor Martin, who will lose about
$500 if the overhead crossing is put in.
The hearing ended at l o'clock. the
commissioners deciding not to make
public their decision.

The regular Populist caucus met again

TO CLEAR ST. JOHNS RIVER.

before the House committee on Rivers
and Harbors, a project recommended by
the Chief of Engineers of the War De-
partment The Department desires an
immediate appropriation Of $4,000 to
conduct experiments in clearing out the
water hyacinths from the st. Johns
river in Florida This plant was intro
duced into the river some years ago for
an ornament, but has hourished so that
it completely obstructs navigation above
palatka for several miles. The army en-
gineers think the plant con be extermi-
mated means of a double proved scow
which wlll tear them up and which will

SCHOOLS FOR THE INDIANS.

President Meserve, of Shaw University,
left yesterday morning for Washington,
where he goes TO attend the annual meet
ing Of the United States Board of Indian
Commissioners. Mr. Meserve was in the
Indian service previous to his connec-
ton with Shaw University. For five
years before coming here he was Superin-
tendent of Haskell Institute at Lawrence,
Kansas, the largest Indian school in the
West, having between 500 and 1000 stu
dents every year.
Since seyering his connection with this
school Mr.. Meserve has kept in touch
with the Indian work. Last June he
was asked by the corresponding secre-
tary Of the Indian Rights Association to
investigate, by a journey to the field, the
legislation proposed by the Dawes Com
mission for the Five Civilized Tribes of
the Indian Territory. This work he I'M
dertook-after a careful consideration OF
all the points involved, and performed it
in the most satisfactory manner. Senator
Dawes spoke of his work in the highest
possible terms in public address at the
Lake Mohonk Indian Commission last
October. The result Of Mr.. Meserve's
investigation has been published by the
government in report of some 40 pages
and is a most valuable contribution to the
Indian question. 1t can be had by ap-
plication TO the office OF the Indian Rights
Association IN Philadelphia.

THE HEELERs GOING HOME.
Three Congressman Left on One Train
Yesterday

1GSleFu8y.
The agony is over-at least it is prac-
tiCally over. Pritchard has won the first
heat and is now so far in the lead that
the grand stand has, to great extent,
lost interest in the race. s. confident are
the Republican politicians and office
seekers of their favorite's ability to come
under the wire in good shape to-day that
many of them went home yesterday and
left the rank and file to fight it out.
Among those who went away were Con
gressmen Settle, Linney and Shuford
the latter in disgust and sorrow-the two
first mentioned in high feather. Col.
Col James Boyd was also in the crowd
swearing that he was the most popular
man in the State between elections, but
Just as soon as the time for making nomi-
nations came around they always chose
the other fellow-because they wanted
the fun of a close race. They didn't want
candidate that would sweep the coun-
try and make the thing practically unani-
nous, so, Mr.. Boyd said they never chose
him.
Then there was Linney, with his
prince-tail Albert coat and a sleek bea-
yer of the vintage of 1S75-looking for
all the world like the heavy villain in
travelling theatrical company.

Brushes" rubbing his hands in glee,

Shuford looked rs sour as Il last year
vinegar barrel. He wouldn't talk. Never
a word spoke he | asked him if he was
