Gen. Shafter in Danger.
silly Women Are stnI Att.

An FL Paso, Tex, despatch of Jan. II
says: Major-General Shafter and staff,
en- route to California, where the general
will resume the command he held prior to
the breaking out of the war, were met
here by 1000 people and a brass band.
Gen. Shafter was escorted to the city park
where he made 10minute talk descrip-
tive of the Santiago campaign and eulogistic
of the volunteers, of whom this locality
supplied large number to the rough
riders. When he had finished his speech a
number of pretty girls insisted on taking
snap shots at him with a camera, and great
ly to his embarrassment, several of them
kissed him in the presence of the au-
dience. Gen. Shafter is we'll known here.
He fought the Indians along the Pecos riv-
er 10 years ago, then obtaining the sobri-
quet "Pecos Bill" by which he is still
called in this section.

chief characteristics. 1t is really uuu-
BILE decked station On the upper floor,
which is only few feet above the
street level, the through trains come in.
On the lower floor the local trains are
received
Thus the hurrying commuter, to
whom seconds are of first Importance,
is not mixed up with the long distance
traveller who leisurely bids his friends
goodby and cumbers the earth with his
satchels and suit cases.
The loop arrangement by which the
local trains come in and depart is cspe-
cially good. No other railroad station
in the world has such convenient plan.
By this means it would be possible for
2S, 600 passengers to march inc the sta
ton and find seats in cars within the
space of a few moments. just think of
it All the inhabitants of good sized
city could be swallowed up at one
mouthful by this monster of steel and
iron. and in ten minutes it would be
ready for another crowd of the same
size.
The building itself covers / 3 acres
The total length of track under cover
is about 10 miles. The building has
main frontage of S6S feet and is five
stories high, while the two story wings
at either end make the entire street
into account the powerhouse, which is
459 feet by 40 feet on Dorchester av-
enue, and the building for express COM
panies and the reception of mail mat
ter, which is 800 feet by As feet, on
Cove street, making the total street
frontage 3, $50 feet or over two-thirds
of mile
The only richly decorated part is the
front of the building, which has a
frontage of 22S feet. The wings ON Ell
ther side are $50 feet long. The i'm
mense eagle on the top of the structure
is 155 feet above the sidewalk, while
the big clock beneath is some 10 feet in
diameter.
Through the heavy base of the facade
there are three arch entrances 80 feet
wide. This base supports colorado of
10 Ionic columns, above which is the
clock on an ornamental base. The first
two stories are of granite, the remain
ing stories of neutral tinted brick, with
granite trimmings, while the heavy
balustrade which surmounts the build
ing is granite.
The main building has on the first
floor between the main entrance and the
main exit a general waiting room, 225
feet long, SO feet wide and % feet high,
which is lighted at night by 1900 in
candescent lights. This room is finished
with a mosaic floor of Knoxville mar

Action Taken In United States Court "a
Maintain = Ia Cent Rate on st.
Johnsbury a. Lake ChampIaIn Road.
A bill has been served in the United
States court on d. j. Foster of Burlington,
chairman of the state railroad commission,
to prevent the sale of the 2-cents- a mile
mileage books by the st. Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain railroad company.
The orators set forth that the capital
stock outstanding exceeds $4,000, 600 and
the bonded Indebtedness Of the road g., 600,
900; that during the last six years the op-
GRAFTON of the road has been carefully and
prudently managed yet the territory
through which it runs is thinly settled. the
local traffic small, the grades heavy, with
many sharp curves, all of which make the
property expensive of operations; that the
total gross earnings for the past six years
have been much less than the expenses
and necessary repairs; that the money to
pay the deficit in operating expenses and
necessary repairs and interest accruing on
lts mortgage bonds has been raised by the
sale OF the first mortgage bonds left in the
treasury in 1894; and that all such bonds
so lett are now disposed of. That the an
nual dehclts for the past six years have
been as follows: For the year ending June
30, 1898, $9S, j25 50; 1894. $50, s72. 20;
1875, 800 POO. 0S; 1896 1923, 1873 %; 1897.
Sl56, "a; 1898, $149, 45S 70.
The company sold mileage books at 2 1-2
cents a mile previous to Nov. 21, 1898, and
it is claimed that under the provis-
ions of the law passed by the last iegisla-
ture making a 2-cent rate the company
would sustain loss of $4,000 annually.
The bill stands for hearing on the ques-
ton of a temporary injunction for Jan. 81
at Brattleboro. Pending the hearing Judge
Wheeler has granted a temporary injunc-
ton restraining the directors, officers and
agents of the company from issuing or
selling any mileage books at cents per
mile
