Connecticut River Road Seeks to Buy
Vermont Valley Line.

The petition OF the Connecticut River
Railroad Co. for authority to issue new
stock TO the amount Of 81 OOO, 600 with
which to purchase the Vermont Valley
road was the subject OF a hearing before
the Massa chusetts railroad commissioners
In Boston Thursday, Nov. 8. The Con-
necticut river railroad is leased to the
Boston & Maine, which also operates the
Vermont Valley. The latter owns the
majority of the stock of a connecting
road, the Sullivan County, so the whole
system is controlled by the Boston &
Maine under difficult and complicated
arrangements
The Connecticut River was represented
by Edmund p. Kendrick OF Springfield,
Mass, and William j. Hobbs, fourth vice
president and auditor OF the Boston &
Maine. 1t was explained that It was de-
sired to make more permanent arrange
ment and that IL was anticipated that
there would be no difficulty In getting
the stockholders to exchange stock certi-
ticates. Still 1t was desired to have
provision for public sale in case some
stakeholder wanted cash for his Vermont
Valley certificates. This brought up the
question OF what price the board should
fix the sale at, Mr. Hobbs said the Valley
road earned more than 10 per cent Last
year 1t paid out OF the earnings $4,000
for double tracking. The year before 1t
paid 8 per cent and $50, 900 for double
tracking. The year before that It paid
per cent. and over $50, 900 for improve
ments There was no opposition. The
Vermont Valley road extends from Bel
lows Falls to Brattleboro. "a miles.

REQUEST OF $4,000
To Whom Shall It Be Paid the
Question for Consideration
Dispute as to Whether Town or Hospital
Trustees Should Receive Late Col.
AustIne's Money

Dispute as to Whether Town or Hospital
Trustees Should Receive Late Col.
Austlne's Money.
The bequest of 900 made by Col
William Austine to the town of Brattle-
boro in trust for the establishment of
hospital was the subject of controversy
before Judge e. L. Waterman In the pro-
bate court Saturday, the question at issue
being as to whether the funds should be
paid to the town or to a board of hospital
trustees named in the will. The eXecu-
tors of the will, Howard NJ. Eustis and
Herbert b. Chamberlain, have paid all
the requests except this one. While the
question is one that would have to be
decided irrespective of the sentiment of
the trustees as to the nature OF the
hospital which they establish, neverthe-
less the ultimate decision of the courts
in the matter, as now appears, win have
much to do In determining whether the
hospital will be for tuberculosis patients.
Col. William Austine died in September
1904. His fifth bequest was as follows:
II give and bequeath to the town of
Brattleboro, VT, the sum of $4,000 in
trust toward the establishment of a hos
pital in said town for the temporary
treatment of strangers and local individ-
uals peculiarly situated. The hospital
will be erected and governed by a board
of five trustees and the first selectman
of the town" etc. The will named as
trustees of the hospital DIR. George F.
Gale, Dr. A. l. Miller, DR.. G. r. Ander
son, Charles A. Miles and George C.
Averlll, and the Legislature. at Its last
session, Incorporated the Austine Sanl-
tarium, with the men named in the will
as trustees.
The trustees announced their purpose
to establish a hospital for tuberculosis
patients. James f. Hooker first select
man, objected to having a hospital Of
that kind in Brattleboro. believing that
ii would be detrimental to the interests
of the town as a whole. and some FIVE
months ago he demanded Of the executors
that they pay the bequest to the town
treasury, his object being to make 1t
possible for the town to administer the
trust for the benefit of other than tuber-
culosis patients and yet be In accordance
with the terms of the will. He acted
under section 1894 of the Vermont stat
utes, which provides that IAN real and
personal estate except United States de-
post money, held by n town in trust for
any purpose, unless the person giving
the same otherwise directs, shall be under
the charge and management of three
trustees elected by the town"
At the hearing Saturday Klttredge
Haskins represented the town and c. c..
Fits the hospital trustees. Col. Haskins
argued that the law covering the case was
clear, that the town was regarded in law
as person and was entitled to receive
the bequest just as much as though the
testator had bequeathed the money to
some person In trust instead of the town.
Mr.. Fits claimed that the trustees of
the hospital as named in the will. had
the real administrative power of the fund
and that 1t should be paid to them.

Baptist Congress.
by MRS. =.

It only required a suggestion
from DR.. Prestridge, of Louis
vile, KY, that there should be
la Congress of Baptist Of the
world, when behold! it was so
as he had said.
Imposing in numbers, and in
eminence of its leaders, was a
great conference, recently held
in London, for the first time in
the history of the denomination
the Baptists Of all nationalities
assembled in one meeting, to
take council and report progress
in their respective countries.
The Congress must have been
a surprise to the citizens Of the
British metropolis. That four
thousand men, representing a
constituency of twenty millions,
all animated by one faith and
hope, should have come togeth-
er in the spirit of brotherhood,
was a most impressive spectacle.
More significant from anoth-
er standpoint, was the assem-
blage Of so many men of same
creed from far distant lands to
rejoice together in the tolls and
victories of their church. 1t
was not a legislative congress
for each Baptist Church is a lit
tie republic, acknowledging no
authority blu t that Of Jesus
Christ himself but simply a
fraternal gathering Of men Of
one heart and spirit.
1t stated that the Congress
represented a mass of adher-
ents including the families of
communicates and attendants
on Baptist Churches, estimated
at twenty millions. The actual
membership throughout t h e
world, is seven and half mill
ion, Z, 100, 400 are English speak
ing more than six and q half
