Another View.

The following is taken from an
editorial in the Springfield Republi-
can and shows how the matter is
viewed elsewhere:
The amendment of the Brattleboro
railroad bill in the Vermont Senate
to suit the interests of the Central
Vermont exclusively indicates that
that corporation is recovering it's old
sway over the law-making body at
Montpelier. What the Boston and
Maine or New Haven interests asked
for was the right to run double
track of their own from South Yer
non, VT, to and through the station
at Brattleboro, connecting their
Connecticut river railroad on the
south with their Vermont Valley rail
road on the north; and this right was
granted in the bill which passed the
Vermont House the Central YER
mont, however, being protected in
it's possession of the station and ter
minal facilities at Brattlebsro.
But as now amended in the Sen
ate the New Haven interests are CIV
en- trackage rights only into Brat
t1eboro, which would evidently have
the effect of maintaining break at
that point in the through line of its
own desired by the New Haven inter-
ests, and leaving the situation much
as it is now, with the Central Yer
mont in possession of toll gate
through which the New Haven could
not pass without paying any re-
quired tribute.
That the Central Vermont should
seek such an advantage is of course
not surprising; but under the cir
cumstanceS it becomes amazing that
a legislative body representing the
interests of the state of Vermont
should freely grant the advantage.
These circumstances are that the
New Haven is not obnged to build
on the Vermont side of the Connec-
ticut river to connect it's road at
South Vernon with the Vermont Val
ley at Brattleboro. The Vermont
side offers way Of less resistance,
no doubt But the New Haven al
ready has bridge over the Connec-
ticut at South Vernon, and it be-
comes a simple matter to build up on
the New Hampshire side to a point
opposite BrattleborO, and then two
choices would present themselves:
The New Haven or Boston and
Maine interests could bridge the
Connecticut river diagonally and run
on to their Vermont Valley tracks,
with a station of their own Just
north of the Central Vermont station
in Brattleboro, or they could con-
clude to drive a bargain with the
Central Vermont whereby the one
road should have the Vermont side of
the river from White River Junct-
ion down, and the Boston and Maine
the New Hampshire side. In that
case the Vermont Valley from Brat
tleboro to Bellows Falls would be
sold to the Central Vermont which
would extend it on the Vermont side
to Windsor, thus giving that COM
pany a line of its own all the way
down the valley.
1t would then remain for the Bos-
ton and Maine to build from ,Hins-
dale, N. H., across the river from
South Vernon, to a point opposite

DIED IN OTHER STATES.
Mrs. Elizabeth H. Anterior Died Re-
Gently in Waterford, Maine.

Mrs. Elizabeth H. Atherton, who
died recently in Waterford, Maine,
at the age of Sc years, will be well
remembered here by many of the old
er residents, as will also her sister,
Miss Susan H. Wilkins, whose more
active term of service was spent in
the schools of Brooklyn, N. Y, but
who spent as much. time as she could
at the home in Waterford. Their
father, John Wilkins, was the Oldest
son of John Wilkins, who came from
Massachusetts. Mrs. Anterior was
singularly fortunate in her early
training. Throughout her life she
loved the church and for 20 years she
sang in it's choir, and she compelled
the duties of her household to make
way that she might be in her place
on Sunday. She was an intensely
active woman. She loved to accom-
plish things. Her household, the
church, her social duties in the vii
lage in which she lived, and in the
large community whose summer life
centered there, found in her an in
spring personality.
Harry McWiniams.
The Kansas City Times of Jan. 16
contains the following account of
the death of Harry McWi1liams, in
which many of our readers will be
interested:

born in McVeytown, Pa, in 1853. In
1883 he was married to Miss Kitty
Hallett at st. Johnsbury. He moved

DR.. A. w. Blair.
The following notice from Bos-
ton paper of January 10, will be of
interest to friends of DR.. and Mrs.
Blair in this vicinity:
1.-THE friends of DR.. A. w. Blair
of Dorchester, Mass, were shocked
this morning to learn of his sudden
death while visiting friends in Dux-
bury last night. DIR. Blair had been
troubled with heart disease but his
death was entirely unexpected. He
was widely known in Dorchester,
where he lived at the corner of Nor
folk and Whitman streets, and he
was prominent in the social affairs
of the district. Besides being one Of
the best known physicians of Dor
chester Center, he was superintend-
ent Of the Second Congregational Sun
day school. He was a member of the
Colonial Club of Dorchester, in
which organization he held Office at
one time.
DR.. Blair was born in Plymouth,
May %, 1848. His widowed mother
moved to Newbury in 1851, purchas-
ed and for 80 years made her home
in what is now the home of Frank
Meserve. The doctor fitted for col
lege at NeWbury Seminary, Dart
mouth college 1872-1875, studied
medicine and graduated from the
Vermont University. Five years he
practiced in Oxford, and removed to
Dorchester in 1886. July rs, 1877 he
married Ellen Chamberlain of ST.
Johnsbury. He leaves a wife and
two sons, Walter and Hugh

comes weather, and by arrangement
made by mail last spring, there have
just been held several informal con-
ferences at as many resorts this sum-
mer concerning union between the
large Presbyterian bodies north and
south. The initiative in these confer
ences was taken by the northern men,
but in all cases they were met in a
cordial spirit by the southern men. 1t
was found that the question of the
negro played little part, and that the
prospect of one Presbyterian body, ma
tional IN it's constituency and having a
membership of 100000 was most at
tractive.
From one of the southern conferees
pastor OF one of the largest congrega-
tions in a Mississippi valley state, it
is learned that the northerners were
told plainly that separation of north
and south must continue until heresy
cases in the New York Presbytery, or
even the appearance of such cases,
come to an end. Particularly severe
were the southerners upon the teach
ings Of Union Seminary, New York,
and the questions and answers admit
eddy given by students of that institu-
ton in the Presbytery of New York.
Until such answers cease to be given,
the southerners are reported to have
said, union of Presbyterians north and
south is impossible.

The interesting announcement is
made that Buffalo Bill's Wild West
and Pawnee Bills Far East will
exhibit as indicated above. A most
remarkable event is announced in
the leave-taking from public life of
the old scout Buffalo Bill" who
is making last bow to each city he
now visits-a vsledictory. 1t is
further stated that arrangements
have been made with officials of the
railroads to run reduced rate ex-
cursions on that date, thus afford
ing residents of this vicinity an op-
portunity to visit the exhibition at
minimum of expense. Two vast
enterprises are now allied under one
management. The union of Buffalo
Bills Wild West with Pawnee Bills
Far East brings together two great
factors in out-of-door entertainment.
While, of course, the general style
of the combined entertainment re-
mains the same as when they were
separate units in public amusement,
there will be many features entirely
new to this style of exhibition.
The Far East contingent will be
represented in an Oriental spectacle
of great beauty and splendor; in
Producing many picturesque types
which inhabit the romatic East. In
this scene and as a particular feat
ure, Rossi's Musical Elephants, i'm
ported at an expense of 81, 1000 per

exhibition; playing various musical
instruments, dancing, and in other
manner ev;dencing their remarkable
sagacity and wonderful training.
The chief scenic feature will be the
Battle of Summit Springs, a repro
duction of one of the deciding con-
ficts in Indian warfare; battle in
which Col. Cody participated and
in which he shot and killed Chief
Tall Bull. In A Holiday at "T-E"
Ranch will be pictured the pleasures
and pasttimes of the plainsman,
cowboy sports and dance upon the
green.
