the other rechaining it. Suddenly, when
only one side of the engine was chained,
the three Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain
locomotives started up, broke the chain
and hauled the Central Vermont engine to
Rouses Point. The Central Vermont
people, evidently fearing that their work
car and pile driver would be also snaked to
Rouses Point, attached switch engine to
the cars that stood on the branch trestle,
abe 4 60 feet long, running from near the
dra%5ridge north IN the direction of the
new Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain
trestle, and drew it back to point of safety
on their own property. A gang of Ogdens-
burg and Lake Champlaia men then ad-
vanced in fine form upon the new Central
Vermont tre,tle and demolished it. There
were no casualties.
The trestle and drawbridge between
Rouses Point and Alburgh is about mile
long. The state line runs few feet to the
west Of the drawbridge. When the Rut-
land-Canadian railroad is complete we will
need this bridge or another to connect
with the Ogdens burg and Lake Cham
plain at Rouses Point, which latter road is
owned by the Rutland railroad. All that
part of the trestlework in New York be-
longs to the Ogdensburg and Lake Cham
plain and that part in Vermont, including
the drawbridge, i, owned by the Central
Vermont. Negotiations for the joint use
of the bridge and trestlework between
Rouse, Point and Alburg by the two rail-
roads having failed, the Rutland road is
proceeding with the building Of q trestle
and bridge independent of the Central
Vermont.

A Railroad War.

Sunday WAS lively day at Rouses Point
which was the scene of bloodless railroad
war. Early Sunday morning gang of
men employed by the Central Vermont ap-
peared on the scene with work train and
pile driver and began building new
trestle so as to cut off the line on which
the Rutland-Cac adam railroad is build
ing its bridge from Rouses Point to Al
burg. Shortly after this an Ogdensburg
and Lake Champlain engine was run from
Rouses Point to the state line near the
west end OF the drawbridge and left where
1t would prevent the tearing up OF the old
trestle In New York state. The Central
Vermont people theu ran larger engine
from Alburgh and pushed the Ogden,burg
and Lake Champlain engine back toward
Rouses Point, and before the Ogdensburg
and Lake Champlain could bring up more
engines a section of track on the present
.re.tle was torn up by the Central Yer
mont workmen who then proceeded to
drive piles on the north side of the trestle.
Later in the day portion of the track on
the east side of the Central Vermont en-
CINE was removed, so that engine was
stalled. This engine was subsequently,
chained to the track by the Central Yer
mont men. Lste Sunday night three Og-
d susburg and Lake Champlain locomotive,
steamed cut OF Rouses point and there wa,
a lively little contest between two gangs Of
men, one Enchanting the large engine and
