tus Mohegan," to the Union and
American, that the obstacle to early
operation on the Princeton road, is
the necessity for an amendment
to its Charter, cnabling It to consoli-
date with the Kentucky portion OF

not be made until tile next session OF
the Chancery Court, which is en-
powered tn amend charters.

islature Of that State. The Tennes-
see portion, however, need not walt
