THE VERMONT NEWS.
Central Vermont Reorganization.

Grand Trunk Railway Filed Friday Its
Acceptance of the Act Passed by the
Last LegIslature---Delay ON Account
OF Unsecured Indebtedness.
The Grand Trunk Railway company Fri
day filed at Montpelier, its acceptance of
the Central Vermont Railway company
bill which passed the last legislature. The
act incorporating the new company pro-
vides $185, 900 for unprotected creditors of
the Central Vermont road, the National
Bank of Redemption of Boston being the
chief creditor.
The new corporation is organized for the
purpose of acquiring the title and to ope-
rate the property of the Central Vermont
Railroad company, and its branch and
leased lines, and the incorporators are to
be E. O.. Smith, D. d. Ranlett, G. NJ. Hays,
Charles Percy, John G. Mccullough, W. S.
Webb Ezra H. Baker and Samuel E. Kill
ner, who will organize as the Central YER
mont Railway company. The charter fur
Their provides that ajority of the direc-
tors of the reorganized road must be resi-
dents of Vermont and the clerk and treas
urer of the company must be residents of
the United States The first meeting of
the corporators named above will be held in
st. Adams after the roads and leases of the
Central Vermont system have been sold
under the decree of the circuit court of the
United States for the district of Vermont,
when the corporators will elect board of
directors to consist of not less than seven
or more than 10 members, president, a
clerk and treasurer, when the company
will be fully organized
The delay in the acceptance of this char
ter has been caused by an amendment
made by the legislature requiring that un-
secured debts to the amount of about $780,.
145 be provided for which the Grand Trunk
and Boston bondholders refused to do in
the original plan. Since the passage of the
bill the attorneys for the majority mortgage
holders have been trying to force the mi
nority interests in the Reorganization t.
provide wholly for this unsecured indebt
edness. No announcement as to the form
of settlement has been given, but it is no
believed at Montpelier that these debt
have been wholly evaded by the mortgage
and bond holders of the present system
1t now seems probable that the formal pro
ceedings of taking the property out of tn
hands of the receivers and reOrganizinJ
the property will be accomplished as rap
idly as possible.

wonders in so short time. We have needed just such a hand as his to mar shal all the hosts and unite them into a trained army of the Lord. Men and women continued to come to Douglas and many of them were church work CTS before. They came as members ot various churches, and who else could gather together in one this great people?
 Today we can behold the monument of loyal service to the Master, and the appreciation of the people in the form of this beautiful structure. The Con- gregational church may well be proud of such man. Beside, they now have a $. s. and church service, c. E. and literary society, reading room and know not what next, and all at the hands of the Rev. Mr. Wirt. This in- cludes the most of the work among Protestants, but the Sisters of St. Ann have done an excellent work among the Catholic children and others. Only three years ago they began school and small church was built. The work of evangelization began in earnest and today they have a most efficient hospital and their congregation has be- come so large as to necessitate the building of a larger church, which they hope to construct this summer.
 Now in summary:-With the Friends and their services, the Episcopalians and their services, the Catholics and their services, the Congregationalists and their services, the Methodists and their services,-marshaled against the foe, it does seem that the enemy of men's souls would flee to parts un- known. But do want to say as close that, so far as 1 know, nothing but the l1indest christian fellowship has ever existed between the brethren. And now, May the God of peace keep you all in perfect peace" Amen. ... .-G
