The Central Vermont Railroad.

The United States Investor speaking
of the Central Vermont railroad says:
A hearing was given in the United
States Circuit Court in Vermont on
May 3, in the matter of the Central
Vermont foreclosure but no decision
was given by the court. and it may be
some time before one is rendered This
hearing, it will be remembered, was on
the question as TO who shall intervene
in the foreclosure suit-not on the
question IS TO whether the foreclosure
sale shall be granted. This matter will
come up later, and as there are several
questions to be determined, including
the mat er of equipment and what in
terests in leaseholl roads are covered
by the mortgage, etc, foreclosure pro-
ceedings are quite likely to be long
drawn out.
1t is stated that the opposition to the
so-called Grand Trunk people, judging
from their talk, are hopeful of an out
come of the matter favorable to them
selves. On the other hand, there are
those who are quite confident that this
reorganization scheme can never go
through. The opponents of the plan
represent those who are interested in
certain branch roads, including the
Burlington and Lamoille and the Mis-
sisquOi Valley, whose interests, it is
considered, would be adversely affected,
if the reorganization plan succeeds.
These opponents have appointed re-
organization committee, who have held
meetings recently, and have discussed,
it is stated, the draft of plan, the de-
tails of which, however, are not YET
given out. The opposition are evil
IDENTIFY not yet ready to make known
what their ideas are as to how this re-
organization should be carried on.
The Grand Trunk scheme had pro-
crossed so far before anyone walked up
to the true import of the movement
that those who saw fit to oppose it
were really at disadvantage and no
scheme could be launched successfully
until it was demonstrated that there
were valid reasons why the proposed
one should be defeated.
HOW BRANCH ROADS ARE AFFECTED.
The so-caled Grand Trunk plan of
reorganization, it will be remembered,
provides that new corporation shall
| be formed and take title to all the prop
erty of the Central Vermont, and the
title to, or the beneficial right to use,
without payment of rent, all the branch
es of the said railroad, and the lease
hold estate in the New London North
ern railroad. AS is well known, the
! Burlington & Lamoille and the Missis.
quot Valley railroads are leased to the
Central Vermont at rental of $40, 200
on the former, and four per cent of the
capital stock on the latter. The Che
ney and the Langdon estates own the
greater portion of the stocks of these
two leased lines, and if the decree of
foreclosure was granted, and the pro-
posed plan of reorganization was car
ried through, they would be practically
at the mercy OF the Grand Trunk, as
they would be worth very little if cut
off from the Central Vermont system
and it is pretty safe to assume that the

Slowly tho flagship of the intrepid
Dewey circled the harbor, while The
forward turret continued its melting
fire without interruption.
With each shot the great olympia
shook from stem to stern, while from
the bridge Admiral Dewey looked down
upon the men in the forward turret and
gave his commands TO the officers in
ringing tones. He was directing a
bombardment and naval engagement
that every tar on board had prayed for
since the Maine sank TO her death in
Havana Harbor.
For two hours the American feet
had poured is broadsde into the Span

snudged faces of the gunners peered
through the turret openings at inter-
walls and sought out the shattered cruis-
ers and battleships that were numbering
helplessly in the trough of the sea.
AT the end of an hour and half the
firing from the ships of CASTLE grew
visibly less, and the fire and the smoke
rose from the decks of fighting ma
chimes that an hour before had swarm
ed with gesticulating, frenzied Span
iards, desperate at the chaotic scenes
of blood and misery around them.
Protected cruisers that deserved a
better fate blew up when the flames
reached their magazines and went down
in Kissing sea scorching the men who
sank with them.
AT the end of two hours the order to
"Cease firiug' was given by the divi-
sion officer, and the twelve men in the
forward turret of the Olympia at Ma
Mia that Sunday morning crawled out of
their hell, and, leaning with their bare
arms on the turret top, swept the scene
of Spain's ruin from half-shut eyes.

The Young Recruit.

Judge Falligant can tell war story
better than any living man. Here is a
pathetic one in his own words:
"While at home recruiting his COM
mand in men and horses an old farmer
friend came to gallant Colonel Bill De-
lony and said: Bill, my boy here has
got the war fever. His mother and l
have tried to get it out of him, but it's
no use. He swears he'll run away if
don't let him go, 80 I've mounted him
ON the best racing colt had, and here
he is. Take him with you, but I've
this much TO say: If he ever shows the
dominicker, kill him right then and
there. Don't let him come home
The old farmer raised game chickens
and fought them too. He had con-
tempt for dominicker roosters because
he didn't think they would fight, and
that was bis blunt way of describing a
coward. Deloney turned and saw a
fair haired country lad of seventeen,
standing perfectly erect, his lips COM
pressed, but vivid fire flashing from
his steel blue eyes. The boy never
said word, but parted tenderly from

General Wheeler had a most exciting
service throughout the war. He has
told me how his horses were shot I'M
der him again and again and how he
escaped without injury, although he
always rode at the head of his troops.
OF all the commanders under Jefferson
Davis he stuck closest to him. He was
with Davis when the cabinet moved
from Richmond to Cokesborough, N.
c., and he then had eight brigades of
cavalry. He told Davis that the SOL
diers considered the war was over and
that he had trouble in holding his
troops together. Davis did not agree
with him, and he ordered $4,000 horse.
shoes sent there to equip his troops for
fight through the south.
A short time later, however, when
he got ready to fly, Wheeler was about
the only commander who could get SOL
diers to go with him, and it was little
General Joe who followed the Confed-
crate president with a troop of 500 men.
Davis and his cabinet soon saw, how
ever, that their hope was forlorn
one, and they sent orders TO Wheeler
to disband his troops and take care of
himself. This Wheeler did and a short
time later was captured by the Union
troops and was sent with Jefferson Da.

IT is very common, almost an every day occurrence to witness runaw ay on our public thorough fares, imperiling the lives of our citizens and women and children, A case of this kind occurred Friday when the wife of a prominent citi- zen had narrow escape from a run away delivery wagon. These run aways are frequently the result of horses being left unhitched on the streets, against which there is an ordinance, more bonored in the breach than in the observance. , Our city authorities should enforce this law, along with others that have been allowed to lapse. We have heard it remarked that if the Mayor and his Chief of Police would pay less attention to county politics and more 10 enforcing the laws of the city, that the lives of our citi-
 sens would be much more secure.
