Central Vermont Reorganization

The old Central Vermont railroad seems
tated to fall into the hands OF the Grand
Trunk railroad. The bill before the legis-
lature for reorganization means this and
nothing less. The pending bill embodies
an agreement between the Grand Trunk
and the bondholders of the Central Yer
mont The Grand Trunk offered to pur-
chase the road paying the amount of the
,ecured Indebtedness. THIS agreement
was embodied in bill and placed before
than very loud protest was raised on the
part OF the unsecured creditors. These
creditors prepared an amer dment which
accepted and the bill passed the house
Wednesday. 1t will probably become a
law in its amended form. The amendment
provides that bonds to the value of
$4,000, certified and executed, shall be
/. delivered to D. d. Ranlett or the Weldon
national bank. to pay bills for supplies
amounting to S44 1903. OF the new bond,
issued there shall be delivered to Nellie P
Hubbard $1S, $50 Ran dolph national bank
$4,000; National bank Of redemption
$93 ,842. 10; Weldon national bank 800, 200
and Wagner Car Co., $1,000. The pro-
visions of this act must be accepted within
60 days after It's signature by the governor
to become operative New bonds and
stock cannot be issued until the interest on
the old bonds and the Webb mortgage Of
$25, 900 is paid up to the time Of the issue
OF the new bonds and stock.
c.. M Wilds of Middlebury, attorney
for the Grand Trunk railroad, makes the
amount of secured Indebtedness, old and

holders of notes and claims for supplies
llrnished the Central Vermont Railroad
company, for the payment of which the
court has already issued its order, the sum
of S89, 1853 SO 1t upon the sale of rolling
stock under the torecl sure decree Judge
Wheeler orders the payment of the balance
Of these claims and notes for supplies there
will be due to these claimants the sum Of
amendment to the pending bill. The sac
rifce to the bondholders in securities is
SAT- sos Ga, and the sacrifice in scaling
from 5 to 4 per cent basis practical loss
OF $1,750,000.
The bonds, by the agreement of Septem-
ber 20, 1898 at Boston between the bond
holders of the Central Vermont and the
Grand Trunk, will be distributed in this
way:
First mortgage bonds, $7,OOO,O0O
improvements, 100000
Bran ches, 100000

Grand Trunk balances, $4,000
Webb equipment loan, $4,000
Fifeld, 10000
Total, $1O,768,O 900
1t is claimed that the report of the audi
tor shows that the gros, earnings of the
Central Vermont since going into the hands
of the receivers has been 100000 a
year. The report shows that the road
could be operated for 20 per cent OF this,
leaving net profit OF 81, 100000 for the
road since the receivers took hold.
About 100000 was netted during 1896,
with $450,000 for improve m ents during
the receivership.
In July, 1896, the interest was paid on
first mortgage bonds but never since then
The amount due DIR. Webb has been re-
duced from 100000 to $375,000.

When she is left alone she sits staring
at the footlights, thinking and agair
you hear her think.
Then woman steals in through the
bay window and kneels beside her, beg
ging for help and pity. She is Leslie,
the painters wife, who, after the manner
OF stage wives. did not die, and has
found that che cannot live without him.
In one OF those moments Of absolutely
Thanksgiving power which comes to her
at will, Mrs. Fiske drives the woman out
into the night and the storm, shrieking:
"You shall not thwart me nov, nothing
shall thwart me now" Then, as she
sits there gasping, painting. muttering
hike mad woman, she does one OF these
little things that lend such awful verify
to her work, just takes her handker-
chief and with a quick, desperate ges-
ture wipes her throat and hands. And.
assure you. ev ry being in the house
feels the cold moisture that had gath
cred on her hesh. Leslie goes out and
falls in faint in the snowy road. The
sound OF sleigh bells announces that the
wedding guests are approaching and the
woman will be run over. Madeline
screams again and again for help;
Father, Harry. that woman will be run
over. She is lying in the road.' but no
one hears her. She looks for her crutch
but someone has mislaid il. She tries to
stand but falls like broken thing. She
drags herself on her knees to the window
and shouts and shouts, but no one an
swers and the jingle OF the bells sounds
pearsr and nearer. Then. in that mo-
ment Of desperation she rises. she stands,
she walks, Out OF the window. out
into the snow. And il is as though the
days Of the biblical miracles were come
again. | remember in Kiplings story
when Mulvaney is telling how Love o
Women. when he ie almost dead, walks
up 20 the porch to die in bis wife's arms,
he Gays 1.-The Power uphilt him." And it
is just so when Madeline goes out OF
that window. The illusion is complete
and YOU feel that YOU have seen the
dead arise and walk.
In the last act, which occurs later the
sa1 9 night, Madeline sends the painter
and Leslie away together. The house is
dark, the family are in bed. she sits by
the window watching the re united
lovers GO their way: "Over the snow
through the moonlight, out OF my life.
She sends for the doctor, who knows
nothing of the events OF the night, and
tells him that she has sent the artist
away.
He would never have lame woman,
that lie ALL" she says. Mr.. de Belleville
rises to a height he has not often
touched in his life when he says simply,
but with all the heart in him. Made
line. I would give my life to make you
walk"
She rises smiling, and walks across
the stage to his arms.

INC giIi sluS up IN tne DUNK. calmly
smoothing out the feathers of her absurd
hat. Where. o where, Mrs. Fisk. are
the usual cheap affections Of surprise
and terror which stage ladies assume
witnessing a fight? She knows well
enough, hat knowing lady, that girls
who are brought up in the slums of Lon.
don see too much lighting to be aston
isbed at it. After the painters have
been elected she thanks the young man
and lies down to sleep. But sleep doesn't
come SO readily to the poor artist, toss
ing about down there on his sofa. So
he lifts up his voice and in that stiffness
broken only by the roar of London with
out, he tells her of his sweetheart. whom
he is soon te marry, OF her charms and
her goodness. Minnie draws the covers
up to her chin and lies very straight and
very still, clutching the side of the
trunk with her hand She stands it
pretty well, she does. but finally she in
terrupts his rap,ures. 20 yes. she's
your girl, that's what you mean. | sup
pose she don't swear?"
Swear! who? Millicent?"
20 you needn't be so shocked. She
would swear just as bad as | do II she'd
been brought up in our court and hadn't
been always tied up in white paper to
keep her clean"
The artist drops off to sleep, but Min
ME doesn't. She lies there stiff and
still, thinking, thinking. You can hear
her think. Thinking that this is no
place for her. that there is a distance
between her and all these beautiful
things that she can never cross, that
this man is for girls who were not
brought up in courts and who never
felt the worlds rough hand. Present.
ly the young man mutters his sweet
hearts name in his slsep. Then the
girl gets right up without a word. She
cou.es down the ladder and puts on that
pathetic little hat and str ps her flower
basket over her shoulders. She takes
up the artists great coat and gently
throws it over him. She pauses a mo-
ment and takes bunch of flowers from
her basket.
He was awful kind to me, but it
aint like ME to stay where I'm not
wanted. There are the best I've got;
flowers don't last long here in London"
She lays them on his pillow and then
goes out OF the door, without turning to
look back, without any effort at theatric
effect. just as quiet and hopelessly as
though hundreds Of eyes were not
watching her; goes out into that big
wintry, pitiIess London you can see
through the window there. that LonL on
where indeed flowers do not last long.
and all your sympathy and all your
imagination goes out of that door with
her.
wonder where we have another ac-
tress who could play this unrretentious
little piece in so untheatric manner,
who could mai one know what it feels
like to be a flower girl. You see that
penetrating intellect of hers is like a
search light, she has only to turn it
upon a character to master it. She ma
!. taria3ises mental and emotional condi-
tjans before your eyes, and when all is
