The remarkablo feat of making 1.010 mteel rails in twenty hours was Fridag uight and Sat- urday accomplizhed in the steel raif mill of the North Chicago Rolling Mill Company. Rolling began on the atternoon of Friday at 5:35, and at 4:07 Saturday morning. being ten hourr and thir- ty-two minates, 504 rails had been rolled. The day turn began at 5:07 Saturday moruiog, and tinished its work of 506 rails at 3:13 Sacarday af- ternoon' being ten hours and six minutes. From thia time is to be deducted thirty-four minutes during which tho engine aud rolls were stopped for oiling, leaving twenty hours and four min- ates for the rolling of 1,010 rails, being an aver- age of one minute 2nd twelve secouds for each rail,the rails rolled weighing €0 pounds to the yard standard lougth of 30 feet, and wero for the Chicago, Rock Ieland & racific Railroad. The total weight of the product was 269 1990-2240 tons. The percentage of second-class rails was onc-half of 1 percent. The work wasdone b; eight fornaces and a 28-ioch train of 15-in ‘pass-rolls, and is the best work ever made, west of the Alleghauies, or anywhere else.

Before the eale began, it was discoverea that the contents of the box were the property of Ira D.

The Philosophical Society mot_lzst evening at No. 108 State street, and liztened to the reading of a paper by Mrs. Eate N. Doggett on * Re- cent = Archmological Discoveries in Their Relation to the Old Testament,” = translation from the French. The paper was quite leogthy. and displayed a vast_deal of research and eru- diuon, and cormmanded tho complete attention of the large andience during its delwvery. The paper investigated fully the customs snd traditions of the Jewish tribes and of the adjoin- ing nations, showing that idolatry and polythe- jsm wers common among those whose descond- nnts call themselves tne chosen people of the Lord. ‘Faking the testimony of the Bible itself, it was shown that tho God Jehovsh was at the earliost times littlo heard of, and as the record comes down tho rise of that divinity can be clearly traced, until he is recognized as the only Supreme Being. - ‘At the conolusion of the reading of the paper, there was an animated discussion upon the lec- ture delivered on the previous Satarday evening by Judge Booth on **The Resurrection,” and a few poiots in rs. Doggott's paper were also al- lnded to and criticized. THE NEW CUSTOM-OUSE. TYesterday morning & TRIBUNE reporter called at the office of Mr. P. B. Wight, the architect, on the sonthesst corner of Madison and Clark streets, to _gain from him some information in regard to his probable sppointment as Saperin-~ tendent of the new Custom-House and Post-O1- fice. That gentioman stated that he had heard of ths subject onlv throagh the news- papers. As he was coming down to his office in the morning a friend had called his attention to an article which appeared in & morning paper, and which Mr. Wight cheractorized as untroe in every particular, and a pura misstatement of facts, He (Mr. Wight) was a friend of Mr. Caulfield, but he had introdnced that gentleman to Mr. Hanmaford at his own request, not know- ing him, and as Mr. Wight was & friend of both parties. Mr. Ca 1d did not aud does not seek to bave Mr. Wight appointed to the offico of Superintendent. Teporter—Then, Mr. Wight, are you aun ap- plicant for the position 2 =Mir. Wight—No, sir, Tam not. Rop.—Has the office of Superintendent been offered you, or have you any knowledge of your probable appointment ? Mr. W.—Several months ago I heard of my being tendered the positicn, but this was ouly 8 rumor. There has yet, however, been no offer made to me. Rop.—Would yoa accept it if the position were tendered you? 3lr. W.—L cortainly should, but I do not seek it. Rep.—If you are appointed, what would tho prospect be of continuing the work this fall 2 Mr. W.—Reallv, sir, I can't tell. I wonld work under orders. All Government departments are run uoder instructions, and, when matters were Jeft to my judgment, I would do the beat I know how. "This ended the interview. The First Rogiment did not parads yesterday, according to announcement. The weather was sobsd a8 tomake it inadvisable to turn out. Howaver, they were promptly on band at the Armory at the appointed time; and, in justice to them, it should be stated that they wera eager 5 go out mn spito of the rain. Xut Gen. Mc- Clurg thought the parade might as well bo pos:- poned, and, therefore, told them all to disperse quielly to their respective homes. It is prob- able that the parade will come off next Saturday, or the Saturday after at the latest. Official noti- sication of the time will bo given. THE POND FATHEE. Atender father on Park avenme had with much soticitude obgerved the failing bealth of bis only daughter. From her dend mother the girl had iunerited _feeble constitution. Al throagh the summer she had received, with his full approval aud with apparently a warm rodip- rocal feoling, the visits of a young man of most estimable character sad of fair prospects. Him ghe accompanied nightly to the front door, and even to the gate,—a proceeding which ber fond father regarded with some sanxiety, a8 the raw evenings of au- cumn came on sud he noticed his dear daughter's shortened breath and hectic color. The oiher avening ho called her into the parlor—she had ‘been absent for three days upon a visit to her Aunt Samantha—and throwing wide the folding- ing doors clasped her to bis heart in fond emo- tion as he ead: ““See, Susannn Julietts, see, and never think that your poor old father doesn’t thiok about you and caro for your comfort.” There the astonished girl beheld, swinging in the recess between the two rooms, a perfect modol of their frost gate, with sevea long pickets and six short ones, and a nickel plated Jatch. Tho artist, in his devotion na- tare, had even retained the thumb-marks near the herdle in the original, and the impressions on the lower bar worn by tho cherished daugh- ter's dear little boots. Art, too, had improved upon nature, for the gate, which swung upon noiseless hinges. had at the top a shelf, just one Xies broad. farnished with a student’s lamp and s box of caramels ; for the feet the.lower bar as softly pedded and warmed by o hot-air pipe connecting with the furnace, and_two spring chairs were tastencd ono on either side. «Thar,” said the fond father, whilo his eve filled with happy tears: **Thar ye can swiog, and kiss, and swap gum all mght long, and uever catch a breath of cold.” The good old man had bad tho gate surrounded with ever- greens, and had laid o plank-waik on the young man’s side, to increase the naturalness of the scene, while at considerableexpense he hadhad a strest-lamp hang in the alcove above, which was —rare thonghtfulness—not lighted. ** Now, Susanoa Julietta,” said be, * that ere ought tobe as good as life. Batif you dou’t think so,—for your poor old father won't begrudge you nothing—1'll come round every quarter 'n hour or 80 and yell out * Susauna Julietta, come in ter the house afors you get your death o’ cold,” and I knos your little brother thinks 'nuff o’ yo to play he's a street-arab and cry, ‘Ain’t them sweetnesses 2’ * O, father, father,” cried the girl, as she flung berself into his arms; **0, father, you are 80 good—=and 1t is all eo nice— and—vet—O, father—it isu't like the original article at all.” e THE ROMANCE OF A POOR YOUNG GIRL, AND ITS UNHAPPY ENDING. On Hoyne street, in a small ivy-ciad cotfage, resides with her irascible widowed father & ro- mantic young girl named Florence. She loves dearly to build castles in the air, tenanted by hersolf and a fairy Prince whose wealta is only equaled by his besuty and surpassed by his af- fection for and towards her. Her father is fear- ful lest the girl's head shonld be turned by read- ing the Ledger and the Waverly and similar publications, and is apt to remark in an unfie- 18hed manner that if he thonght she was getting any of that into her head he'd do his duty by hor as a father should. Florence is employed in a hat-factory. A few days ago she read in the Waverly the following romantic item : How Sie Fouxp A HUSDASD.—Not many weeks ago a young girl employed ia a hat-fuctory at Wal- singhsin, Mass,, who had wearied of the narrow and uncongenial sphiere of her home, Wrote, on pink-tinted paper, in & neat hand full of character, thisnota: *Ay name is Eleanora Gertrudo Smith. I live at ‘Walsingham, Mass., where I work in the hat-factory. Iom 18 years of age, b fect 3¢ inches high, of slight buld and wilowy figure, with & wealth of golden hair and 'blue eycs deep es & sum- mer's sea, I think that I ~could love, but, ah !

The scquaintaacs thus remarkabiy formed rapidly ripened into love, and—to makea long story short—on Tucalsy last, at Walsinglam, Mass,, the Rev, Hoses F.

BEOPESING SERVICES. The reopening of St. James' Episcopal Church was celebrated last evening with appropriste ceremonies, in which Bishop Clarkson, of No- brasks, the Rev. Clinton Locke, D. D., the Rerv. Edward Sallivan, D. D., Canon Knowles, and others of the city clergy, took part, with the Rev. J. J. Harris, D. D., the Rector of Bt. James. The church was organized in 1834; the first edi- fice was built in 1836 ; and a second and larger on the present site, corner of Cass and Huron streets, in 1857, which waa destroyed inthe great fire, when the new church was erected the open- ing of which was celebrated last evening. The present cdifice, which was lest night opened, is one of the largest and handsomes: in this city, and one of which the palish may well be proud. The services opeped with the 1924 Hymn, «Trigmphant Zion,” followed by reading of the «Ernciavit cor meum " and the * Deus noster refagium.” The first lesson was from Isaiah ix., 15-19, followed by tho anthem, *Cantate Domuno.” The second lesson was from Rev. ¥xi,, 25, succcoded by the anthem ‘*Deus Miseratur.” The Aposties’ Creed was then re- citod, after which prayer was offered. 4 The opening address was mads Ly Dr. Harris, in which he made graceful refcreuce to the Trestoration of the dearold church in more stately proportions than before. He. introducad Bishop Clarkson,of Nebrasks, former Rector of St.Jemes, who brictly sketched tho history of the church from its fonndation to tho present time. In passing, Bishop Clarkson made pleagant ailusion o the time when on leaving the East to enter upon the Roctorsbip of the church his friends Dade him farewell as one_bouud on & mizsion to a for-of land, aud be set his face toward Chicago a8 5 place abounding in capal-bonts and mos- quitoes, and where the iohabitants {frequently mysteriously disappeared from sight in the sur- rounding S¥AmpS.

Thefortunate opponent put tho glass exo iato his vest pocket. «Here,” said the maddened and reckless game- ster, as he rolled up the left lez of his panta- Jooas and unstrapped & cork leg, ‘‘this sere unworthy membera, got heel and instep joint and socket, knee action snd_kicking spring ; it cost me §185 and it's worth 350 to-morrow.

Owing to the inclement weath- er, the gathering was but slim, though the num- ber of graduates residents of this city is by no mesns as small as might be supposed. Dr.C Gilman Smith presided, and }Mr. Gastavus Gow- ard filled the office of Secretary. Reports of last year’s meeting and dinner were read and ap- proved. The Association has been organized bat one year, and the comstitution and by-laws ore bubstantially 1acluded in the following reso- lution: That all graduates of any department of Harvard University shall be members of the Associntion oa sending their names to the Exccutive Committee, and by payment of the yearly duee. The officers of the Club for the ensuing year are: Presidont, Dr. C. G. Smith; Vice-Presi- dents, Mr. Robert Lincoln, Gep. Obadiah Jack- gon, and Dr. C. H. Allen ; Secretary and Treas- nrer, Mr. Gustavos Goward; Executive Com- mittee, F. T, Fisper, W. E. Furness, and J. B. Galloway. ‘A copy of a complote history of Harvard Col- lege from the time of it3 endowment to the present year, prepared aimost oxclusively for graduates and otbers interested in the instita- tion, was exhibited, aod the subscription- list is ready for subscribors. The volume is very large, and the contents embrace, besides ihe history, biograpbical skeiches of prominent men ana officers counected with the institution. Toe day of tho next meeting will be the 28th ot October, that being the suuiversary of the foundation and first endowment of the College ip 1636. The aunusl dinoer of the Chicago Har- vard Club will also take place then. A vote of thanla was tendored to the proprie~ tors of the Sherman House for their courtesy in iving the use of thoir rooms for the meeting, after which they adjourned to renew old college reminiscences. e THE HON. THOMAS HOYNE, HIS LETTER OF RESIGNATION. the Bon. H. D, Colvin, Mayor of Chicago : Cricaco, Oct. 9.—I hereby tender my resigna- tion as a member of the Board of Diractors of the Pablic Library, to take effect immediately. In doing eo, allow me to call attention to two vacancies recently created, which in effect re- mup as if no appointments had been made to fill them. It seems that Mr. Billings and Dr. Yalker bave been appointed to fill the placea made vacant by Messrs. Rosenthal and Hayes; ‘but neither of those gentlemen hasas yet st~ tended a meeting of the Board; and one of them, a4 1 am credibly informed, declines to be qualified, and yot refuse, to resign, holding over to the exclusion of some active snd efficient member of the Board. In regard to my own action, I might very well decline explanation to your Honor, since my ap- pointment came from your Honor's predecessor, Alayor Medill. I feel considerablo interest and satisfaction in tbe fact that I assisted Mayor Medill and other good citizens in passiag the Free Litrary bill, and organizing the Chicago Public Library un- der it. Dut it'seems a3 it I had accomplished, under your administration, all that it was pos- gible for me to do. Indeed. I am inclined to believe, what has been snid by an Alderman, that the progress of the Library may be rather promoted by my resignation. Tn behalf, however, of this great public truat which the Isw places uader your care, latme gall sttantion $0 th3 MACY UrGeRt RppeMs whish bave baen mads by the Board of Dirsctors with- in the last two years for more generous treat- ment and & more liberal support than you or the present Council have concedsd. The is, that the Free Library bill was only iatendod to limit the raisiog of the tax to more than one- fitth of a mitl annually on all taxable property for ita sapport. 1t never wasdesigned to dimin- ish tho amount to be raised below this sum. Since your advent to the Mayorsity, however, the Council have cat down the amount to less than one-nalf of what the law has graated. Now, with 25,000 book-borrowers, and increas- ing daily, and 300,000 annua visitors to the read- ing-rooms, there should ot least be §25,000 ap- propriated to the puchase of books, while it takes abont 230,000 to pay current expenses. During the two years past the smouot &vpro- priated has been only %35,000 per anpum for all these expenses, and the Board have been en- abled to purchase additional books only from what they had accnmulated on the amount raised for the two previous years—sll the rest are donations from abroad or the gifts of oumr own citizens. Suggesting that vacancies may be filled with competent men, friendly and not inimical to the enterprise, the institution may survive the pres- entadministration, if friends of the Public Libra~ ry can be found among the frionds of the ad- ministration who will undertake the work, I am respactfully yours, Troaas HOYNE. RS THE “POST AND MAIL" PIOGRESS OF THE TRANSFER. For sbout a week past it has been preity generally understood that the Post and AMail newspaper had been purchased by Maj. A. W. Edwards, Secretary of the Protection Life In- surance Company. That gentleman was called upon by a TRIBUNE reporter yesterday morning at kis office on Randolph street, when the fol- lowing conversation took placa: < Reporter—Major, is it troe that you have bought ot the Pos? and Mail, and has the trans- fer been consumated ? Maj. Edwards—I don’t know; do you ? Rep.—I came hero to find out from you. Have you purchased the paper ? Maj. E.—I guess 80. Rep.—When do you take posseseion of it ? Msaj. E.~I don't know. Whenever I can got held of the atock. This_was all the information that could be gleaned from Maj. Edwards. The reporter learned, bowever, from other scurces, that the sale had been fully consummated, but that some of the stock was not yet transferred. This was owing to tho fact that it was beld by certain estates and the transfers could not be made un- til sanctioned by the courts. A portion of the stock, of tha value of $42,000, is tied up in the Cook County National Dank for a debt of 15,000, owing by W. M. Tavlor to that ‘instiintion. Wednesdsy last Mr. Burley, the Peceiver, filed a petition for the releasa of 816,000 of tho stock, in_the United States Dis- trict Court, as_reported in THE TRIBUNE at the time, Mr. Taylor proposing to deed a farm of 400 aeres, located io LaSalle County, to the bank if he was credited with 38,800 of ~his indebied- ness. The farm is incumbered with a mortgage of 8,300, but Mr. Burley thinks that it would prove advantageous to the bank if the offer were accepted. e THE CITY-HALL. The Committees on Streeta and Alleys and the Committee on Markets will meet to-morrow afternoon in the City Clerk’s office. The probabilities are that Deputy-Supt. Dixon will retain command of the detective force, there- by affording the department the services of another Bergeant in the outeide districts. Mayor Colvin's proclamations are not always obeyed to the letter, but when theyarein the shape of holidays everybody hastens to observe them, and so yesterdsy the City-Hall was com- pletely deserted, excepting in the Police Depart- ment. Everybody who was not at Quincy with the Mayor and Alderman were engaged in brood- ing over enniversary ills at his home. Another general order wes issued from Police hendquarters vesterdav, countersigned by Su- perintondent Hickey and Marshal Dunlap,—the first official appointment of one, and the 1ast a) pointment of the other. Roundsman Valorus Boavey, of the Deering-Stree: Station, is ap- pointed Sergeant in the place vacated by Ser- meant Dixon, but does not take charge of the dotective force. Patrolman John Cullen, of the Becond Precinot, is discharged from the force for intoxication, inattention to du:y, and using gouu and insolent langusge to a superior of- icer. Scene : Poter Mahr’s saloon across the way from the City-Hall. Three bummer politicians sitting arouad the stove. their heels 1 the air, and heads drowsily hanging over the backs of their chairs. Enter a well-known politician® ho wants to be County Treasurer, shouting, Geben sie mir vier glase leger.” Presto change ! Bix heels are firmly planted on the floor, and three heads start forward with a look that inguires. ** Who says I'm asleep? ” Second act : Candidate draining off four successive Iagers and three discontented-looking bummers looking for the back door. HUNTING A MARSHAL. Yesterdav's doings brought to the surface two new candidates for the vacancy caused by the tesigoation of Marshal Dunlap, and both of them are considered more suitable in somo respects than any who have yet been mentioned in connection with the position. The Germans, seeing that their countryman, the former Super- intendent of Police, had been superseded by an Irishman, set about looking up another **Lands- man” to take the Marshalship, and they have succeedad in bringing up Charles Kern and Gen. J. H. Diger. Mr. Kern is well known as & former Sheriff in Indiana, and might make a very good Marshal. here. Gen. Dilger is_even still” better suited for the position. Heis a thorough soldier, aud was formerly the Adjutant-General of this State. If ha is fortunate enough to secure the nomination from the Mayor, there will beno doubt of his confirmation. Kern ought to bave the makings of a good officer in_him. and has the advantage over Gen. Dilger of being more gencrally known, and, therefore, ought to be more certain of the nomination. 'I'he £tatutes regarding the qualifi- cations of a City Marshal put an end to all the aspirations of Ald. Hildreth and Bchaffner. The other candidates for the office, such as Phil Wedsworth, R. E. Goodell, and Conrad Folz, are not understood to be pressing their names for the position. Ib otler words, they sre in the hands of their friends. SR TS CRIMINAL. James Raymond, s neatly-dressed gentleman of midale age, was gobbled up by the Madison street police yesterday afternoon, simply be- cause he was found stealing an umbralla cat of & hall-way, Let allumbrella-stealers take warn- ing. On his person was found & beautifnl volume of Byron, bound in eandal-wood trim- 'miogs, and bearing on its fiy-leaf the name, # Mary Day, London, Ont.” He is supposed to be a practical filcher, but protests that he is & respectable doctor. 8illy Willism Cilley, & greenhorn from Michi-, gan, wanderad into s mock-auction establish- ment on Cunal streat yesterday afternoon, and invested in & $25 box of soide jewelry. Then they steered him down to Levi's mork-auction shebang, wherethey succeeded in beating him o of $65 1n money on the envelope game. William was smart enough to squeal, and the Madison street police pounced down upon them, and Isid L. J. Smith, James Benton, and William Van Vglzarin separate cells in the Madison Btrest Slation. Sergt. Vesey, of ths Hinman Street Station, yesterday detatled Officer Kurth to investigate the probablo murder of Otto Schneider, the fruit-peddler. The circumstances wero found to be oxactly the same as reported in yesterday's Tripune, with the exception that the affray conld not have taken place at the corner of Ash- land avenue and Twenty-sacond street, a8 the corner is altogether too busy a one for such a transaction at£o early an hour as 8 o'clock in the evening, withont anybody hearing anything of the matter. _As near as can be ascertained it tool place on Luke street. The ‘saloon-keeper Miller, to whose place the wounded man was brought by the teamster,is the only one who can tell the circumstances, as Schueider has been lying in an insensible condition ever sitce. 'WHISKY. The seizure of B. P. Hutching & Co.'s distil- lery hascrested some excitsment, and rumors of other seizures are rife. Saturdsy Joseph G. Williams, the bookkeeper of Hutchms & Co., was before Commissioner Hoyno, and gave bail in the sum of $5,000. E. D. Banister, the fore- man, who was held to bail Friday. was dis- charged. Cochran and Hutchins gavo ‘bonds when arrested, but are to renew them to-day. R. Parker Mason, whose distillery was seized in May, was also arrested aud ccmpelled to give bonds in the sum of §25,000. CRDMINAL COURT. Yesterday was sentenco-day in the Criminal Court. The following were gentsncel: Maurice Kelly, burglary, one yoar in the Penitentiary; T. D, Baker, larcony, ono yoar; J. Button, férgery, one year: Jobn Ssmpson, gtepiol BT o rare W iionL KeDoneids furdany, Wehtoon wanths s Chasie Murrey and' Thomas Griffin, one year each; ‘‘Baddle-Bock S . of Lake View, was fined 310 and costs and sent tothe County Jail for ten days on several in- dictments for selling liquor without license. ANOTHEE MURDEB. Abont 10 o'clock yesterday moming Detective Flanigaa was instructed to work up & case of probable murder, which occarred about 2 o'clock yesterdsy morning, but which was not reported at the station until the hour mentioned. Joha Foley, » boarder et the Fort Doncleon House, on Canal street, near Randolph, got intoxicated Friday night, snd early in tho morning he met a atranger, who boarded at a neighboring place. The beer ho carried made him extremely friendly to his fellow-man, and drink after drink followed in close successicn. Then & quarral ©ensned abont some triviat matter and the strang- er carved John with 3_knife in_seven different places. He waa hurried up-stairs fo his room and a physician summoned, who pronounced the wounds very dangerous if not fatal. The detect- ive could learn nothing sbont_the stranger, not even abont how he lookad, and there is not the slightest clus to his identity. Foley's death is expected-hourly. In this connection attention may be justly called to tI total fhefficiency of the police. Marder after murder has been following in close succession, and no report i8 made by policemen uotil some citizen brioga the news to the stations or to the newspaper-offices. The Maud Stewsrt murder was kuown of at the station while the patrolman was off snoozing at some .Eh.c& Poor Otto Schneider lay in the ditch shot fatally from 8 o'clocs in the eveniog antil the following morning. sod even then the police dia not hear of it until the followingz day, when news was brought to the station. The attempted murder and suicide of Fred Harris was not even heard of untu published in the newspapers. And last of all comes the above case, happening as 1t does on a street which re- quires the closest scratiny of the palice both night and day, The man is stabbed seven times. a0d the distarbance must have been great. And yet the police knew nothing sbout it until oight hours afterwards, and then it is prought to the station by s citizon. Supt. Hickey can do no bettor act to begin with than correct the notorious habit of policemen lounging on their beats. Thoze four cases must be enough to convinco any rational person that nine-tenths of the police are beiog paid for loaf- ing. The new regime must do better. A DEFAULTING MAIL-CARRIER. The Grand Jury in the United States District Conrt, after. threa days’ work, roturned two indictments into Court yesterdsy morning, one sagainst Joseph Liness, a letter-carrier connected with the Post-Office here, and the other agamst Henry Downing, the Assistant Postmaster st Evaoston. Liness was arrested |ast spring, pleaded guilty before Commissioner Hoyne, and was sent to jail in default of bail. He bas intended to plead guilty on trial, and yesterdsy. after the indictment was fonod, he was brought into Court, and acknowledged that he had been guilty of opening letters and taking ‘money therefrom. His attorney, Mr. L. H. Bisbee, made an ap- peal to the Judge in his favor, stating that he had long been connected with the mail service, that he was of good family and previously of good character. He bLad taken to drinking througn griet at the loss of hus son, and he had a wife and crippled child dependent on him. Ar, Bisbee hoped the sentence would be made 28 light as possible. Judge Blodgett scemed to feal interested in the case, and said that ie bad been acquainted with the prisoner for nearly twenty-five vears, and had known his reputation to be good. He bad been in the War, and had been in the mail-service for _ over twelve years. The Judge thought there must have been some uoknown csuse which led tbe prizoner to commit the crime with which he was charged, and would therefors give him the comparatively light sentence of & year at hard labor in the Penitentiary. Harry Downing will plesd not guilty, and his case will be tried probably next month, after the Grand Jury are throngh their labors. ———— ANNOUNCEMENTS.

THE CHICAGO CTTY FAILWAY Company have bognn to iay & track on State street from Forty-second street south. with tha ic.ention of continuing it to Enoglowood, but the citizens along tho Iina objected, and sent a reaionstranca to that efect to the Trustees. The Board thero- upon icstructed the Supervisor to invesugate thy metcer, and learn by what authority they Iay the tracks where they please throughout the town. The result of the Supervisor's inveatiza- tion was that the Company asserted their rigbt to Iay the track unders document which 34 received in 1866 from Albert Colvin, who was at that time Supervisor of the town.
