A persistent rumor is in circulation that
on or about May / the Central Vermont
and Boston and Maine railroads will put on
an express train between Boston and Mon
treal that will make the time in seven
hours instead of eleven hours as at present,
thus shortening the running time four
hours between these cities. Central Yer
mont officials and employees are retcenr in
regard TO 1t, but IL IL said this train will
stop only at junction and division points on
both roads. In Vermont the stops would
be at White River Junction, Roxbury,
Montpelier Junction, Waterbury, Essex
Junction and st. Adams. Competition
via Wells River and Newport is said to be
the reason for putting on this fast train.

"northers." The mild temperature of the
water invites many to swimming baths
which are followed by no chill. On our
return, at about eleven o'clock, we agreed
that it was too hot for a stroll through the
streets, but taking rocking chairs on one Of
the piazzas found ourselves perfectly COM
Portable, famed by zephyrs from the sea.
There was little temptation to exertion;
there was the luxury of rest amid the most
attractive surroundings. After our noon
lunch, took my siesta in my room in the
northwest corner. AS my wandering gaze
passed beyond the light draperies of the
windows TO the outer world, the sparkling
dark blue OF the ocean reached my eyes
through the graceful green frondS of tall
cocoanut tree near at hand, and with this
vision of loneliness before me, natures
gentle fan soon sweetly soothed my way to
dreamlsnd.
This portion OF Jamaica seems more pros
porous than any other at the present time,
and its prosperity is freely attributed to the
enterprise OF the United Fruit Company,
originally the Boston Fruit Company
which runs a feet OF steamers to this and
other ports, and encourages the cultivation,
indeed itself engages extensively in the
cultivation-of fruits, especially bananas
and coooanuts, on lands once devoted to
sugar cane, but which for years have re-
main Ell untitled, abandoned FARMS" we
should call them in Vermont, "in ruinate"
is the phrase applied TO their condition
here. Indeed, leading Kingston paper
stated the other day editorislly that the
island owed its escape from insolvency TO
the impetus received from this American
company. And this hotel which we find so
attractive, Hotel Fitchfeld, WAS erected
and is owned by this company, and is
largely patronized by tourists from the
United States; in fact it is the only hotel
that have seen on the island that seemed
to be entertaining any considerable number
OF guests.

THE FITCHBURG.

BOSTON, March 22.-The Fitchburg
stockholders adjourned meeting was
called to order at eleven o'clock by
President Goldman. About two hun
dred stockholders were present. The
tellers reported 80 531 votes cast in the
affirmative and 1868 in the negative
for the appointment of committee of
seven to consider the lease.
The discussion then proceeded on the
terms of lease the Boston and Maine
proposes. Counsel Dabuey moved its
approval. Directors Moses Williams
and Samuel j. Elder urged amend
ments for the lease containing a gold
clause and providing that the Fitchburg
surplus disbursed among stockholders
for its property be reinventoried every
five years.
The latter believed these clauses
would be placed in the lease did the
protection committee not have proxys
to put any lease through. Mr.. Sohier
offered an amendmant to Mr.. Dabney's
motion that in the lease the Fltchburg
directors be empowered to disburse to
stockholders such surplus earnings up
10 June 30 az may be shown in excess
of two per cent on preferred stock. By
stock vote it was so ordered. The
meeting adjourned until three O'Clock.

SAVANNAH, Ga, March % Fifty
thousand people were on the streets
yesterday 10 give Admiral Dewey an
enthusiastic welcome. The Admiral
had recovered from his indisposition
sufficiently to take part in the military
parade and review and as he rode
through the streets with Mrs. Dewey
at his side, ringing cheers rent the air
and waving colors made the scene one
to be long remembered. The climax
of the occasion occurred at the ban
quet at the De Soto Hotel last night,
where the Admiral was presented with
a beautiful silver vase on behalf of the
city of Savannah.

complicated state of affairs. A similar

CONCORD, N. H., March 22,-De-
tails of shocking tragedy in the town
of Bradford reached here today.
A farmer named Rowell, who recent
ly moved to Bradford from Weare, was
in the silo in his barn, cutting ensilage
TO feed his cattle, when his little daugh-
ter, five years old, came to look at him.
Just as he swung his ak the little girl
lost her balance and fell into the pit.
The ak in its descent struck her in the
back, making terrible wound.
She lived through the night and re-
covered consciousness sufficiently to
make statement of the accident,
which fully corroborated the account
given by her father.

A DAY IN JAMAICA.

The DAILY JOURNAL has received the fol
lowing interesting letter from Rev. j.
Edward Wright:
PORT ANTONIO Jamaica, Mar. TO- 90
Edttor Of The Journdl:-Having seen some
thing o, the interior OF this island, and hav-
ing spent few days in its capital and
largest city, Kingston, on the southern
coast, we came to this northern port yester-
day, and have enjoyed here day of mar
vellous beauty and restiulness. A little
town with narrow, dirty streets, closely
hned with dingy houses and shops, is be-
neath ana behind us, AZ at our hotel we
feast our eyes upon the beauty OF land and
sea, and revel in the pure, cooling breeze
that comes to us across the water.

ally ascribes much of its excellence. 1t is
perChed on bluff, close to the narrow en-
trance OF the little harbor Of the place, and
IS almost surrounded by water, and, look
ing inland from its broad verandahs, one
sees the slopes OF the nearer hills, on which
he can distinguish cocoanut trees and ba-
mana stalks without number, and beyond
these hills the broken and irregular outline
of the higher mountains. Among these,
called the Blue Mountains, from which
comes the best coffee raised on the island,

This morning we were rowed around the
little island which protects the harbor from
the rough waves Of the open sea. The
water is clear and blue, and where it was
shallow we saw quantities OF coral forma-
tions, and were interested in the evidences
of the action of the waves in undermining
the rocks which bear the brunt OF the
