In the speeches Of General William
a. Bancroft, president of the Elevated
road, it may always be noticed that
he is ever ready To create laugh
with his audience. His stories are
never pure fiction. but always anus
ing anecdotes from his own or his
friends experiences. Before large
and select club Of this city, OF when
he is a member, he was describing his
efforts to induce President Tuttle OF
the Boston & Maine railroad to join
this club at the same time that he did
himself. After cxhausting all his best
arguments the general begged that
Mr.. Tuttle should give his real rea-
son for holding off. President Tuttle
leaned forward and said confidently:
"To tell the truth, General, it Is too
respectable"

the actual proceedings except what we
see in the papers the following day.

A desperate anarchstic plot to de-
stroy the Hoosac tunnel docks and
other corporation properties in this
city by dynamite and fire was dis
closed TO Col. Cole, chairman Of the
board of police in an anonymous let
ter received by him recently. and com
ing apparently from a respectable ltal-
ian resident Of the North End The
intimation To the police is that the let
ter was written by the brother of an
Italian employed in the quarres at
Barre, VT. who has been visiting ut
that place. The writer explains that
he attended a meeting of seven or
eight Italians in Barre Il short time
ago. and that during the meeting the
plot was discussed and the plans made.
though no definite time was set for
the execution. While no great faith is
placed in the contents of the letter ii

desperate outlawism, heretofore un-
equalled in this country except in the
mining country in the days of the
'Mollie Maguires."
