this heralded a resumption Of a large
number of the PLANS of consolidation and
merger which were interrupted by the
stringency in the money market. The
prospect that this would multiply new Sc
curities again and involve heavy syndi-
cate requirements caused new buying or
ders to pour into the market this morn
ing, from every quarter, including some
by call from London.
1t was obvious from the outset that this
demand was very literally fed by salcG
to take profits by the large buyers of yes
terday and the preceding days, but the
buying was sufficient to absorb this real
zing for time and to initiate fresh adj
vances fere and there. Reports that the
dispute between the Pennsylvania ana
the Gould interests had been settled caused
buoyancy in the Waba shes.
The failure OF the Louisville directors
to advance it's dividend rate, as had been
hoped by the holders of the minority
stock who follow ed the advance in price
when the control was passing, served -
emphasize this impression, and the break
in Louisville accompanied that in Read
ing. The market was supported at the
decline and the closing was firm at the
rally. rms a. ~ .zs. s5,,-..

The winter is starting off with an un
happy epidemic of serious railroad ac-
cidents. Just after Christmas there
was that fearful collision upon the
Grand Trunk with 80 killed and 80 in
iured. It was a case of the careless
ness and incompetency of telegraph
operators. Then came a collision on
the Rutland road in Vermont with four
men killed and several injured, again
the result of carelessness nothing short
of criminal. This week, Pennsylvania
had a collision with eight killed and
others horribly burned and crushed
The cause was the failure of a brake
man to see that his train was wholly
on switch. All three Of these col
Tisions were easily preventable, and
there would have been no loss of life
or property in any of them had en-
ployes been faithful to duty. There is
a fearful responsibility upon railroad
men, and it is never safe for them to
lose sight of it. And upon companies
there is the greater responsibility of
employing only men whom it can trust.

1t is estimated that fully $500,0O0,000

amount of capital is invested in rail-

Senator Perkins of California.

Maine people are glad to note that
the promised opposition to the re-
election of Senator George c. Perkins
of California for another term failed to
materialize. as he was re-nominated
by practically unanimous vote in the
caucus of the Republican members of
the California legislature, Wednesday
evening. This means his reelection
and the return to Washington of a
man who has proved himself a valu-
able member of the upper branch of
Congress and whose career is a credit
alike to the state of his birth and that
distant one which has long been his
home.
Many sons of Maine have won fame
and success in California and the case
of Senator Perkins is a notable in
stance. Maine is proud to claim him.
He was born in Kennebunkport and
there passed his boyhood, attending the
common schools. But the love of the
sea was III uiS SOul, anu a. tAS COZ ~
IA he ran away to sea and made five
voyages to European ports as cabin
bow. In New Orleans he contracted
yellow fever and nearly died. He
worked his way to New York and took
passage as an ordinary seaman on the
clipper ship Galatea, in 1855, for Cali
fornia. His plan was to go to the mines
and make enough money to purchase
schooner for trading in the South
seas. In the mines he piloted a Wheel
barrow, held down the hurricane deck
lof a sawmill and steered clear of the
gambling houses. He saved $500, with
(which he purchased a wheezy river
steamer. At II he was thus the skip
| per of his own craft, and soon had Il
fortune He was elected governor of
California in 1879. In the 10 years of
Mr.. Perkins's service in the Senate he
has been absent five days. Three of
these were consumed in attending the
funeral of a brother senator and two by
sickness. The record is believed to be
lunequaled, at least in recent years. No
son of Maine beyond it's borders is
more loyal to his native State.

Belfast Journal: There is no more
desirable section of the Maine coast for
summer sojourners than that between
Stockton Springs and Camden. 1t is
free from the fogs which prevail farth-
er east, the scenery IS picturesque, and
there are cottage sites to suit all tastes,
Then all the conveniences and facilities
of modern civilization are at hand-the
telegraph and telephone, gas an cleo
tricity, pure water, good mail service,
and facilities for travel by rail and
steamer. OF course this road will be
built some day; and we also believe
that the Maine Central will build from
Camden to Belfast, as it will thus re-
lieve the pressure on the main line dur
ing the summer season, and secure a
profitable and growing local business.
And the sooneg these enterprises are
carried out the better it will be for
their projectors. Bar Harbor has
probably reached it's full development
as a rich and exclusive summer colony;
and to a certain extent this may be
true of Dark Hafbor. There is room
for other colonies, and for more sum-
mer hotels, on the western shore of
Penobscot bay: and they will come
when the required facilities for trans
porta ton by steam or electricity, or
both, are provided.
There are not many tramps in Maine
these days, but the Bangor News tells
of q new species (which walked along
the roads of Dcdham and East Bucks
port this week. and did several things
which are not on the regular order of
Maine tramps. One afternoon an aged
woman who lived alone closed her
house and went out to make a call at
her neighbours. On her return shortly
before shutdown shefound that a tramp
had entered her house, and after eating
a dinner from her cupboard, he had I'M
dressed and gone to sleep in her bed.
On being discovered he told the woman
that she had no occasion for making
an cutlery and raising the neighbors, as
he was very much obliged to her for
the entertainment, and having rested,
he would move on without protest.
Saying this he put on his garments and
walked out bidding her a cheerful
good day" as he quit the house. The
next day small girl going to school
with her dinner pail was met by the
same tramp, who asked her what she
was taking along for dinner When
she said she had pie and cookies, the
tramp told her to wait, and sitting
down by the side Of the road he de-
voured about half of her dinner, re-
turning the rest to the pail and telling
thegirl that ne hoped he had not robbed
her.

A medicine bottle, a mirror and a
bunch of keys. all sticking to a chunk
of dough as large as your head was the
sight that met a Skowhegan woman's
view when she opened her satchel on
the train EN- route to Lewiston. She
had wondered for some time what it
was that was swelling out the sides of
her satchel in such an unproportionate
manner, and she opened the satchel to
find out. She struggled to close it but
she could not. The man in the rear
seat looked over her back to see what
the matter was. The conductor
stopped TO look at her in her helpless
state. whats the matter, MADAME"
he inquired. "Oh. nothing. Bread is
rising. can't you see. Oh, get away"
She got her fingers in the dough and
then she got mad She tried to pull
them. She tried to close the satchel,
but it would not close. "Confound that
thing" she said. and the satchel, comb,
mirror and dough disappeared out
through the window. When she tells
her friends about the case now she
laughs at the horrid fellow passenger
and conductor but she did not feel like
it then She was going to visit
friend in Lewiston. This friend adj
mired her bread very much and said
it was the sbest in the world. so not
having any bread to bring with her she
seized upon large piece Of dough
which was rising in a pan before the
fire and wrapping it in napkin she
placed it in her grip with the above
result.
