Scores of representative citizens OF
Augusta are testifying on the following

FIICHBURG STOCKHOLDERS
Show Much Strength Against Proposed Lease
Better Terms Hoped For.

Boston, March 21.-FOr three hours.
today. the stockholders of the Fitch
burg Railroad discussed the question
of the proposed lease to the Boston x
Maine, at a special meeting in Bum
stead hall, and finally began the long
process of taking a stock vote on a
motion of Col. w. d. Sohier that a
committee of seven-three to be APP
pointed by the protective committee
of the F'itchburg Road. three by the di-
rectors of that road, and one by ma
iority OF the other six memberS-be
delegated to see if some better terms
than those offered in the proposed
lease cannot be obtained from the
Boston & Maine.
At 2 o'clock, a stock vote was taken
on this motion. The polls closed at )
o'clock. but the method of taking the
stock vote is so cumbersome that the
result cannot be announced, until IL
O'Clock tomorrow morning, until which
hour adjournment was taken at today s
meeting.
1t was the majority opinion that this
motion would be defeated. 1t was adj
mitted that the protective committee
which is in favor of the lease has suf-
fcent proxies to enable it to dictate
the policy Of the stockholders and it
seems to be confident that it can con-
troll these proxies for as long as it may
be necessary to do 50.
The opponents of the lease presented
strength with which they We're not
generally credited, but which, it was
claimed could not defeat the lease of
the road. although some expect to get
some better terms from the Boston &
Maine

that "the families who call on the name

fewer.
Against the neglect Of this powerful

is one Of the essentials of truly Chris
