EDWIN ABBOTT RESIGNS.

Is No Longer Trustee of the WiscOn-
sin Central Lines.
MILWAUKEE,. Wis. June 2.-Announce-
ment was made today of the retirement of
Edwin Abbott as one of the trustees of
the Wisconsin Central lines. The cause for
this step by Mr.. Abbott is said to be ow-
ing to disagreement over the mortgages
covering the property of the Wisconsin Cen
trail. The impression prevails here that re-
organization of the Wisconsin Central lines
is a long way off.
John A. Stewart, of New York, is the other
trustee.

and sack OF turnips from the ships

spreading a tarpaulin during rotn storm.
