Raflroad Rfvalries,

The New York and Boston Inland Railroad company received a charter Wednesday af- ternoon, in Massachusetts, having complied with all the requirements of the law, and filed bond with the railroad commissioners. The company obtained charter in New York in 1881, and in Connecticut last year. The proposed route has been surveyed by three corps of engineers, who have been pre- pairing plans for the construction of the road. The New York Construction company, organ ized for this purpose, has expended over $50, 900. The road will start from the pas senger station of the Boston and Providence road in Boston, and the cars will run over that line to the central station at Roxbury. From there the road will run through Needham, Dover, MedfeId, Sherborn, Medway, Milford, Mendon, Uxbridge and Douglass in Massachusetts, Themp. son, Putnam, Woodstock, Pomfret, East ford, Chaplin, Mansfield, Windham, Gov entry. Columbia, Hebron, Marlborough, Chatham. Portland, Middletown, Durham, WalIiueford North Haven, Hamden, Wood bridpe Derby, Huntington, Trumbull, Bridgeport, Fairfield, Westport, Norwalk, Darien. Stamford and Greenwich in Connec dcut, ,and Rye, darrlson, Aan111o vile, New Rochelle and Mount Vernon in New York with station at East Chester. Cars will run over the Harlem road to the Grand Central depot from that point. By this route the distance from Boston to New York will be 195, s3-1OO miles, and it is ex- pected that the run can be made in four hours. Express trains will not stop after leaving the Boston and Providence tracks at the central station until they reach New York as there will be no grade nor crossing, either of railroad or highway in the whole distance. The Connecticut river will be crossed at Middletown by 8 suspension bridge. The road will be double track with steel rails. A number of prominent men are interested in the enterprise.

Several Horses Rurned-A1sO Four Hacks
 and Two Stages.
 One of the hackmen employed by c. M. Wooding, the proprietor of tho hack stable on Grown street, after leaving home party from the Knights Templar ball this morning, returned to the stable shortly before o'clock to turn in, when he discovered the hay loft in flames. An alarm was given, but owing to break in the machinery the bell in the City Hall tower did not respond. The alarm was finally sounded, however, from the other boxes and the de- partment were soon on the scene. There were 24 horses in the barn. all of which were gotten out safely but five. Four hacks and two stages also remained in the burning barn. The building was pretty well gutted. A number of harnesses were also in the barn and were burned. Ex-Superinten- dent of the Fire Alarm Fairehild struck the alarm from box 25 in response to a call by telephone, and owing to the distance fir om the scene of the fire the department was delayed somewhat in reaching the fire It was not known how the fire originated, as there was no stove in the barn. The hostlel slept in the barn and boy was asleep uI stairs when the fire started, but he was awakened and made his escape.

Board of Education.

Safe Required For the High School
 Buildtng-Discussion Regarding the.
 New Training School Buildfng-Other
 Matters.
 A meeting of the Board of Education was held last evening. Present, Messrs. Welch, (presiding) zunder, Harrison, Peck, Parme- lee, Pond, Strong and O'Brien.
 The Committee on Schools recommended the purchase of a safe at a cost of $10O for the preservation of the records and valuable papers belonging to the district
 Mir. Parmelee suggested that it would be better in place of the safe to build a vault in the High school building.
 MT. Zunder thought that vault would cost $1 1000.
 The matter was referred to the Committee on Schools with Mir. Welch added to the committee, they to purchase safe. t. MT. Peck, from the Committee on School Buildings, reported that the Orchard street school building was progressing, the building being partially roofed in.
 Mr. Peck also suggested that the pay of the janitor of Webster school be increased from $550 to $500. The matter was laid over until next meeting, the Committee on Schools to inquire and report
 Mir. Welch stated that MT. Jerome, secre- tary of the Board, had been served with 8 voluminous paper citing the school district to appear and show cause why they should not return the taxes paid by Talcott H. Rus sell receiver of the American Mutual Life h. surance and other companies, on account of the district. The citation was referred to the Committee on Finance.
 MT. Zunder brought up the matter of the proposed new training school and said that the last cost more than was anticipated. The cost of the building would exceed the appro- priation, yet if the building proposed was erected it would avoid the necessity of one or two new school buildings within year or two.
 Architect Robinson appeared before the Board and exhibited plans for the proposed training school. He showed two plans, that of one costing $3, GOO less than the other. Mir. Zunder said that the lot was a fine one and building should be erected that would be worthy of and answer the needs of the district.
 Mir. Pond inquired if the erection of the building could not be postponed for another year.
 MT. Zunder replied that it could not, as there was room now demanded for at least four hundred scholars. After further discussion it was voted on motion of Mr. Harrison to refer the matter to the Building committee to report definite plans and report at a future meeting. Ad- iourned

An Explanation.
 

A misunderstanding has occasioned grave error which I am anxious to correct as far as possible. The prudential committee of the A. B. c. F. M. is said, in communication published by you yesterday, to have rejected my application to become missionary In the first place my application has not been rejected. I regret exceedingly that the mat ter has spread so far, but for the purpose of correction it seems best to state facts. The committee merely deferred appointment for the present, and have no reason, all things considered, to question the wisdom of that decision. Personal elements, intelligible to no third party, entered into the problem. To be more explicit do not agree with the views of Dr. Smyth. I cannot deprecate too heartily publicity given to the matter without my consent or knowledge by some self-con- stituted judge. ARTHUR D. RESELL.

Death of a Young Lady,

The hearts of many friends are deeply touched with sorrow at the sad news of the death of Miss Elsie May Lewis, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Walter Lewis, residing at No. 462 Howard avenue. The bereavement brings deep gloom and sorrow to the afflicted household, from which the death angel took also not long since a son just stepping upon the threshold of young manhood. Miss Lewis was an especial favorite with all She united to excellent mental talents charm of character, combination of virtues, which difused joy and gladness with her presence and sunshine in her company, and to many to whom she was united in the golden bonds of friendship she was specially dear and prized, and with her ended life there seems light gone ont which leaves sad vacancy. The deceased young lady entered the High school from the Howard avenue school, and was making rapid progress in her studies when suddenly the failure of her health came, bringing serious alarm. Last May she with much regret abandoned her studies and sought relief in trip to the Adiron- dacks. The change of air and scene, however proved unavailing and the sad thought came that her young life was fast reaching the end. She looked forward to dissolution with serenity and calm resignation, inspired with the Christian hope. In the Howard avenue church, of which she was a member, as also of the Sabbath school and in her class at the High school her death will be deeply mourned. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at o'clock from the residence of the parents.

Hnspftal Sunday.

The weather of last Sunday was so bad that a good many clergymen of New Haven either deferred the regular Hospital Sunday collec ton until tomorrow or announced supple mentary collection for that day. The needs of the hospital increase with the number of patients, and during the past year that num- Der has at times run up to 12O, while the ave rage has been 1O6 as against 89 in 1881, and 81 in 1880. This unprecedented demand upon the accommodations of the hospital has ne- ce ssitated an outlay of about $1, 300 in per manent improvements, which will have to be met by voluntary donations. It is to be hoped that the people of New Haven will not allow so important g charity to suffer on ac- count of a stormy day, and that those who were prevented from giving last Sunday will give all the more to.morroR.
