on testimony given by any witness. This,
IL persisted in, would constitute contempt
OF court. Judge Watson hoped this sugges-

In answer to petition of residents along
the line of the Concord and White River
Junction division OF the Boston and Maine
railroad, arrangements have been perfected
whereby. commencing June a. the accom-
mediation train from Concord to White
River junction will leave Concord about
two hours earlier, reaching the junction at
11:50. The mail car from Boston will be
attached to this train. II the Central Yer
mont changes its time, as it undoubt-
edly will, this would bring the Boz
ton mail into Montpelier at 1:50 P NJ,
and when on time, the mail would be
changed and ready for delivery at the
Montpelier postoffice by 2:30 P. M. Business
men OF Montpelier would greatly appreciate
this earlier service. 1t would necessitate
Postmaster Shedd resrrangi his entire
carrier and rural delivery service, and the
star routes along the Central Vermont
with Montpelier would receive their mail
much earlier in the afternoon.
