BARRE BRANCH NJ.
& w. X. OPEN FOR
FREIHGT SEPT. /
Definite Announcement of Intention
Received from Pres. Hustis of
Boston & Maine Railroad.

Announcement that the Boston a.
Maine railroad will re open the Barre
branch of the Montpelier 4 Wells
River railroad for freight service on
Sept. | has been received by President
Hugh J. M. Jones of the Barre Quar-
riers' and Manufacturers association,
in letter from President J. II. illus
tis arriving Saturday. This announce.
ment confirms the impression which
was gained from the fact that work
men commenced last week to prepare
the roadbed and rails for traffic, the
crossing at Dodge's bridge being put in
shape and two crews of section men
being engaged at various parts of the
line between Barre and Montpelier.
The Barre branch of the Montpelier
& Wells River railroad has been closed
since the government took over <he
railroads of the country during the
war and consolidation of traffic took
place in many instances. The business
of the Montpelier & Wells River rail
road came and went over the Central
Vermont iron, and the station serv-
ice in both the cities was consoli-
dated in one building in each place.
The freight departments of the two
railroads were consolidated in the for
mer passenger station of the Montpel-
ier & Wells River railroad in Barre and
the ticket business was transferred TO
the Central Vermont passenger sta
ton. Similar consolidation took place
in Montpelier. the Montpelier 4 Wells
River station there being closed.
Negotiations for the re-opening of
the Barre branch of the Montpelier x
Wells River railroad have been con-
ducted by various persons and organi-
cations ever since last spring, several
conferences being held with the heads
Of the two railroads concerned. Eepre-
sentations were made in behalf II both
freight and passenger service, with
special emphasis laid at the time on
freight service.
In his letter announcing the deter
mination TO open the branch Tor lfeight
service, President Hustis did not set
anv date for the resumption OF the
passenger service on the line; but IT is
expected that the full service OF the
road will be restored in due season.
In consequence of previous instvuc-
tions to the railroad officials, Roadmas-
ter Dolloff of the Montpelier & Wells
River railroad has been busy for the
last few days getting the track in
shape. To-day work train was sent
out over the line from Montpelier for
the purpose of ballasting the roadbed
and doing other necessary things TO
put it in shape after the long period OF
disuse-
Manufacturers and all Others IN
Barre received the report of the deci-
sion of the Boston 4 Maine railroad
with great satisfaction as they helieve
the opening up of the Barre branch
means better service.

cation to Washington.

ing, hut some of the principals be
lieved that the case might be Ieard
late to-dAy or tomorrow. The writ
il returnable within FIVE days, on
agreement of the parties to the &C,

The Tennessee Constitutional league,
which brought the suit on the ground
that the legislature under the state
constitution had no right to ratity the
suffrage amendment, has announced
that it will carry its fight, if necessary
to the United States supreme court.
Officials of the league predict that the

nation from voting for at least ~

Suffragists to-day expressed the be
lief that litigation would not he oro-
