SEVERAL REMEDIES.
But There Is Little Expectation Of Any
Satisfactory Results.

White River Junction; March 20
The board cf railroad commissioners
considered the question Of station fa-
cilities 1T this place yesterday Two
PLANS were submitted That of the
Central Vermont contemplated a new
depot on the northwsterly side Of the
tracks which would be approached By
the present subway near the Smith
bakery and would occupy In whole or
part the site Of the present freight sta
ton, which would then be moved to the
southerlv part Of the village. The Bos-
ton & Maine plan calls Tor subway, 20
feet wide, opening at the southwess
corner Of the park and passing on a
curve to the north end, then under the
tracks and coming 70 the surface some
Is feet from the northwest corner Of
the present station
Other plans have been put before
the commission call for the removed Of
the shifting yard to the extreme south
end of the Junction and taking up all
but two or three tracks III front III The
present station. a new station on the
side Of the tracks next the park has
also been suggested and in the minds
of many Of the citizens would best sub
serve the interests Of the public
The railroad companies practically
denied all tile material allegations of
the petitioners, at The same time admit
ting that things were not what they
ought to be, and expressing desire 70
amend them The plans were examined
closely by the commissioners, attorneys
and citizens present. IN view Of past ex
perienees, no great expectations 0f sat

LUDIcRous STUNTS.
Performed By Various Barre Men Under

mastery Of the peculiar power. There
were nearly 500 men III the hail and the
loud applause indicated their appreeia-
tion OF Mr, Frosts efforts.
Mfr. Frost first tried the hypotnic
spell upon Richard Iawless, but the
charm failed to work, and William
Troup next presented himself and again
there was nothing doing. William Flor
ence was the next local victim and be
came under the spell at the second at-
tempt
MIR Frost then seated six of his sub
ieets In circle, and the stunts that
they attempted when under his power
were laughable In the extreme. The en-
tire number tried for several minutes
with the most strenuous efforts 10 get
their forehngers together, but without
success; then came chorus OF hynotic
laughs and sneezes, followed by the
whole bunch mrnehing raw onions un,
der the mistaken impression that they
were eating fine apples.
The professor next told the subjects
that there were several girls trying 10
flirt with them and the boys, not to
be outdone, attempted I'd get to them

A young man was placed under the

on another and two men stood on him
without the least apparent effect
The subjects next gave q minstrel
chow and did some singing and dancing
stunts Of which they would not be gull

experienced tho pleasures Of balloon

were given strong shocks from an ina

ca the parts of the various fakirs on a
circus ground and wound up with re
production Of The -Jeiries
fight, IN which neither conlbatant was

vote Of thanks for the entertainment,
which was arranged to pass away the
