THE NETWORK AND NEw-ENGLAND LEASE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRBUsE.l

Boston, Dec. 1.-THE Journal says: "The
question which the stockholders OF the New-York ana
NewEngland have before them In relation TO proposed
lease is Of the most perpexng presented to
railroad corporation This is due In the main to the un
certain elements connected with the NewYork and New
England Railroad ITSELF One Of the best features of the
proposed lease the offer 10 guarantee the fixed charges
of the road but the stockholders sangune that
the road would be able TO these charges the terms
offered would not be accepted probably, the man.
agement OF the road claim that the road mas
been earning these fixed charges since last July and as
they also claim that the poor results previous to that
time due in great part to extraordinary charges
etc. not likely TO be again incurred Why then is not the
future OF the road well enough off regards its fixed
charges II the Judgment of the present management Of
the road can be relied uponi
Their Judgment however, is seriously questioned In
this respect In quarters entitled to consideration
The stockholders, therefore, placed In
q quandary. Some OF the directors In
advocating the lease claim that the capacity
Of the road now much too large in all respects for
local road and what is needed ia connection that VIII
give them million tons Of through freight
which be obtained only from the Erie. There are
those however who look upon the Erie connection as one
Of the weakest elements In the situation. They point 10
fact that the freight rates upon traffic exchanged
with other roads in 1888 only 773100 mills per ton
per mile against 3s100 cents per ton per mile In 1882
reduction Of 011100 mills, nearly 80 per cent? and
as the increase in number of loaded east bound
freight crossing the Hudson at Newburg was more
than 100 per cent over the year previous while tnere
draw the conclusion that the Ere's traffic is of an un
profitable character and that TO increase IL largely would
be the height OF folly II the past years developments are
any indications OF its future character The claim Is also
advanced that with the road leased to the Erie the
ent allral traffic to New-York and also OF the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio sys,
tenn would be taken of the New-York and
New England by the New York and New-Hayen,
which practically controls this traffic. While upon the
hand is claimed that the road under new ana
conservative management harmonic all conflicting
interests and the road from foreclosure, others
equally sangne believe that the only hope from failure
lies in lease to the Erie which shall guarantee the fixed
charges In view OF the the problem IL diff
cult one for the stockholders decide upon in an nte
gent manner"

the maine or tho Blae Velvet Winter
Wheat. -Four years have passed and this
year about 500 bushels will be raised, all
from that sinsle head, notwithstanding
the fact that 10 was frozen out last Spring.

wonderfully plump, while the stalks are
