Pleads Barre Railroad Before
Railroad Commission
TO ABOLISH MAIN 81. GRADE
Favored Abolishing the Crossing at Ayers
Street If 1t Must DO Away with
Any--would Prefer to Put in
an Underpass There.

The state Railroad Commission OF
Vermont are giving hearing at tzrc
city court room in Barre to-day at the
request Of the Barre railroad on the mat
ter Of abolishing ono crossing on thia
railroad this year The railroad this
morning presented It's side OF the case
and expressed preference, II it must
abolish d crossing to have some other
than that on South Main street. Through
its engineer, b, M Haywood, the road
presented some Of the difficulties that
would be encountered ii the commission
ordered them to do away with this one.
According to his figures and estimates,
Main street would have to be raised IL
feet at the fork shop to allow an under
pass, and to exeayate for an underpass
at this point would cost $4,000, to
say nothing Of the abutment walls that
would have to be constructed.
The Ayers street crossing, which Mr..
Haywood appeared to consider moro
feasible, he said could better be abolished
BY putting the street under the railroad,
sinking It u to "A feet, and raising the
tracks 71a feet. When Mr. Haywood
had finished, the hearing took recess
for dinner, meeting at 1880 this after
noon, when n o. Scribner, On engineer
employed by the railroad commission,
tola what he had found in looking over
the situation
mfr. Sinclair proposed sinking the rail-
road under South Main street 10 feet
and raising the street grade 51a feet.
This would lower the track acrog TTiH
street IL feet and neeessitate carrying
Hill street around the hill to Ayers
street for an outlet The estimated cost
Of abolishing this crossing he figured at
s77 900. To raise the railroad over Ayers
street and lower the street I'd run UNI
der the road, he estimated would cost
S33. 900,

BRYAN AGAINST PROHIBITION.
Therefore the Prohibitionists Expect ia
Make Big Gain.

Milwaukee, Wis, June H. Predicting
great gains in the South, with possible
victory in all southern prohibition
states, State Chairman Alonzo Wilosn
of Illinois told the Wisconsin state pro-
hibition convention here yesterday that
the foundation Of his expectation was
the alleged opposition Of William =.
Bryan TO prohibition
IN ls00s said Mr. Wilson, Mr.. Bry.
an stumped Nebraska against q proposed
prohibition amendment to the Nebraska
constitution. have also in my pos
session copy of letter from Mr..
Bryan to Southern men, who desire d
plank for prohibition in the Democratic
national platform In this letter Mr.
Bryan declares if his wishes are followed
there will be no such plank in the plat
form. As Mr.. Bryan is IN control Of
the Democratic party, his platform de-
sires win undoubtedly control in the
Democratic national convention, and
therefore no prohibition plank can be ex.
pected from that convention"
