MAJORITY OF STOCK SECURED.
Wilmington Trolley Road Project viii
Probably Go Through.

Options on 400 of the 800 shares ol
the stock of the Shelburne Falls ane
Colrain street railway have been Sc
cured by the Wilmington, W., interests
represented by Martin Brown, says the
Greenfield Recorder, and the new com
pany is in position TO take possession
of the property and build the extension
from Colrain, the present terminus OF
the road. over the Vermont hills tc
Wilmington.
The hesitation of some of the leading
people in the present company, whose
interest was less in their own holdings
than in the good the road does to the
towns il connects, as to the granting OF
options on their holding, was largely
overcome by the assurance of the buy
ers that if the road was taken over
a bridge would be built across the
Deerfeld river at Shelburne Falls and
connections thus made with the Boston
a Maine railroad at the Shelburne Falls
station.
The utility of the road to its patrons,
particularly the manufacturers in Col
rain village, has always been limited
bv the lack Of this link, making
the unloading and the carting OF
the freight from the end of the
railroad in Shelburne Falls across
the river and its reloading a serious IN
convenience and expense. There has
been a demand for the extension across
the river and various projects have
been considered. but there was good
reason for objection to the use by a
street railway of the bridge that con-
meets the two parts of the village and
the company has not been in position to
build an Independent bridge. If the
change of ownership is consummated
and the bridge built the objections to
the conversion of the railroad TO lum-
ber-carrying one will be submerged III
the satisfaction that the desired eXten-
sion is brought about.
The legislation, by which the com,
panv secures a franchise for. the eX-
tension in Vermont, clothes 1t with all
the desired power to fulfill the scheme.
1t is fully expected that the plan wil'
be carried out the coming season. Aside
from the value the road Will have
as furnishing a way for the lumber that
is to be cut in great quantities near
Wilmington, the extended road will
have attractions for passenger business,
opening beautiful mountain section
and giving thriving towns in southern
Vermont direct connection with the
western part of the county and with
the Boston & Maine railroad at a point
several. miles east of the Hoosac Tun-
mel and Wilmington narrow gauge ralll-
road

Rutland Railroad Accident.

The sleeper from the north ON the
Rutland railroad which left Burlington
Just before II clock Friday night, Az
minutes late, was derailed at Bird g
crossing, a mile north of Shelburne
about 11.25 clock causing a wreck
notable from the fact that no one was
killed and the only person injured, 50
far as known, was woman who sus-
tanned strained leg. The two sleep
ers at the end of the train left the rails,
being dragged several rods and over
turned. and one was ditched. Both were
thrown on their sides, one of the cars
lying across the rails, and they were
badly damaged There were seven wo-
men in the rear sleeper and three in the
other. The ears were well filled with
men.
The accident is believed to have been
due to defective rail.

Ahead of the Procession.

Congressman Haskins believes that
the salary of representatives is too low
and therefore voted for the bill calling
for an increase. The other members
doubtless believe just as Mr.. Haskins
does, but the majority of them did not
have the courage to stand up and say
so.-Brattleboro Reformer.
That is the situation in a nutshell.
Congressman ought to receive more sal
ary than they do. Col Haskins is a
little ahead Of the procession, that is
all. The increased pay is sure to come
sometime.

Legislature Cost $4,000.

John H. Senter was the last repre-
sentative to draw his pay from the
state treasurer. Mr.. Senter drew his
mileage and debentures on Saturday,
and Treasurer Deavitt can now balance
his books. The total cost of the recent
session was little less that $4,000.
