A MORNING TRAIN.

The JOURNAL unders lands that an effort
is being made at Barre Montpelier and
Waterbury for morning train to leave
in time to connect with trains at Essex
Junction at about eight o'clock. II this eff
fort is not being made in the three places
mentioned it ought to be made, and in good
earnest, and kept up till it succeeds.
Such train is impsratively demanded
by local business interests Once there was
an early morning train making the connec-
ton described, and it was the most con-
venient local train on the road. II there is
anything Montpelier can do to secure the
restoration OF this train, its people ought to
be up and doing that thing. Also Barre
and Waterbury. long pull a strong pull
and pull all together may be fetching.

GRANITE STREET WAR.

Judge Watson has said, in his decision in
the Granite street injunction case that the
presumption which follows the order for the
laying out Of this street by the Supreme
Court is that the court Ordered such a lay
ing of road as they had right to order"
There is no claim by either party that the
crossing OF the railways was to be made
over or under, but it is construed that IL was
to be at grade. The conclusion to which the
court leans is that the spur track into the
More granite works is a part of the railway,
and not private right OF way II it Is a
part OF the railway then it stands as part
OF the main track, so far as the crossing Of
the highway Is concerned, and under the
courts construction the crossing would be
at grade, the Supreme Court having
right to make 1t there. Thus construed the
city would not have a right to interfere
with the crossing, and being a question of
great Importance the city's preliminary in
junction was refused.
In the matter OF the mandatory Injunction
on the part OF O. III. More & Co., express
sions in the reports OF cases raised doubt.
Defendants took the position that the rail
II the spur is part of the railroad under
the statute the railway commissioners
would have Jurisdiction. "a mandatory
Injunction" the decision says, would not
issue except when, in general terms, there
Is no doubt about the right OF the party ask
ing. Here there would seem to be doubt.
There is a doubt In the minds Of the coun-
sci for the defendants, otherwise they would
not have taken the position they did. as APP
pesred here In argument, before the rail-
road commissioners" So the mandatory
INDUCTION was refused, as already reported,
and "the parties stand with their rights to
be litigated and determined"
And now comes the Montpelier aud Wells
River Railway with notice to the city to re-
move the obstruction 1t caused to be placed
on the crossing of this spur on the night of
March l, 1t must be removed on or before
March Is, at nine o'clock in the forenoon.
II not then removed, the notice continues,
1t will be removed at the expense Of the
city, together with all other expenses con-
nected with placing the obstruction on this
track. Notice Is further given of claim for
all other damages by reason OF detention Of
cars on this spur, for loss OF business over
1t by reason of the obstruction, and for
damages Q. II. More & Go. may claim of the
railway for non-performance of its contracts
by reason Of the filling In of the crossing.
The railway declares that the obstruction
will be removed; the city says it will not
and II the railway undertakes the removal
arrests will be made-snd the railway sug-
gests that the city will have to arrest
great many people. SO Monday, March %,
promises to be "dies ira" in the vicinity
OF Granite street crossing.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-As negc-
tions proceed it appears almost hope
less to expect the other powers at Pc
kin to accept the same basis of COM
pensation that would satisfy the United
States government. Not only is there
vast difference in the scale of the de-
mands based on military expenditure
but there also is very radical differ
ence of opinion as to the treatment of
the native Christians who suffered in
person and property by the Boxers and
it is believed that il this element is to
be treated with the liberality proposed
by some of the European nations, the
indemnities claimed will be nearly
$500, 100000 in the aggregate, an
amount, it is declared, quite beyond the
ability Of China to meet.

Dubuque, Aug. 3d.. w. Edwards, of
Epworth, has bonanza. About a year
ago on the advice of his daughter. Mrs.
Eisentraut, he bought ten acres of land
near Beaumont, Texas. the scene Of the
great oil discovery. When he made the
purchase Edwards did not dream of oil
fields. The land simply seemed desira-
BILE for agricultural purposes and he
bought it, for 5000. "A week or so after
oil was discovered in Beaumont. Ed
wards received kilograms from specu-
flators offering him $4,000 for five acres
of his property. Instead of accepting the
offer Edwards proceeded to Beaumont to
look the ground over. A glance con-
WINGED him that it would be unwise to
sell, as the oil could be seen gushing
heavenward in neighboring fields. Mr..
Edwards proceeded to organize stock
company. and a couple Of weeks ago he
succeeded In starting up with capital
of 800, 000 Edwards and the members
of his family own the controlling stock,
and he, himself, is an officer and super
intendent. The prospects for making a
large fortune are very bright. An eight
inch we'll wac recently drilled and oil
gushed forth in generous quantities.
None was allowed to go to waste, how
ever. as cap was Immediately put over
the opening. Reports from Edwards
we'll are to the effect that when the cap
is OFF oil shoots upwards $50 feet.
Mrs Edwards and her son, Charles

There is a large number of corn har-

1t will naturally give him an immerse
majority and his friends will do every
thing in their power to swell this ma
jority. The larger the number OF votes
the larger will be the representation in
the congressional convention next year.
On the other hand. there are purely lo-i
cal complications in nearly every coun-l
ty in the district that may cut down the
republican vote therein slightly. Dali
las county is the home Of the prohibition
candidate for governor, A. u. Coates.
and he will receive many compliment
airy votes. Besides, 1t was the seat of
the the most bitter Conger-C ummins
fight, as were Madison. Warren and
Marion counties. Story county has no
complications that will result III any
slessening of the vote but Polk county
will poll an immense republican vote,
the Cummins majority here being esti-
mated at 10000
This means that whoever 1t decides to
support for congressman next year will
be nominated with ease. The congress
sional fight is likely to be entirely in
Polk county. Time spent outside may
turn out to be as good as wasted, in the
opinion Of politicians The failure Of
sAS .StalS az "
seat the Foster delegation from the
Fourth supervisor district finally settled
the question of whether the different
districts Of the county had the right to
select delegates of their own. The coun-
ty is now the unit and will be 80 in the
congressional convention, az 1t was in
the state convention. Whichever can
didate carries the Polk county conven-
ton will be the nominee of the district
for congressman. IA
1t is understood to be the sentiment
of the outside counties to accept the sit
uation and let Polk county have the
fight. I'VE do not propose to run our
heads up against stone wall" said a
prominent politician from one of the
other counties OF the district, land we
think the best thing to 40 is to let the
Polk county republicans settle the
fight"
