ANNUAL MEETING

Of the New York, New Haven and
 Hartford Railroad Company.
 The annual meeting of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company was held at Loomis' Temple of Music yesterday, President Watrous presiding. The old board of directors was elected, with the exception of Joseph Park, who succeeds the late Au- s.ustus Schell Resolutions were passed ex- tolling MT. Schell's services in behalf of the company The following resolution was of fered:
 Whereas, Community presses on railroads to be used in violation of the Sabbath: . !. rectors from the important railroads of the country 70 take into consideration the holy observance or the Lords day.
 Mr Benjamin spoke in favor of this reso- lution. It was referred to the board of di- rectors President Watrous spoke in favor of Sunday trains, deeming them a necessity in many cases.
 At the request of Mr. Watrous Henry c. Robinson answered an inquiry from MT Stanton as to the suit brought by Henry l.. Goodwin against the directors of the road. 'sThere is such suit pending," said MT. Robinson. ''It alleges that the officers ot this company, in purchasing controlling interes in the Canal road, exceeded thelI corporate powers Fraud is also alleged. Mir Goodwin prays that the money expended be restored Now, do not think any direc- tor of this road had the least interest in Canal road stock when this company pur- chased it. The purchase was necessity, as another party was negotiating for the Canal road, and we stepped in and bought 1t to protect our own property. The suit, in my opinion, amounts to nothing The teilers announced that the meeting had chosen the following board ot directors George H. Watrous, New Haven; Edward NJ. Reed, New Haven; William D. Bishop Bridgeport; Wilson G. Hunt, New York George N Miller, New York; A. R. Var Nest, New York; Henry c. Robinson, Hart ford; E. H. Trowbridge, New Haven; Na thaniel Wheeler, Bridgeport; C. M. Pond Hartford; William H. Vanderbilt, New York; Charles P. Clark, New York; Joseph Park, New York.
 The number of shares voted was 95,345 which is nearly 1000 more than last year vote. All the candidates received the ful vote except E. H. Trowbridge, who hac 93. .42O, and w. H. Vanderbilt, who hao 93, ,425. Twenty shares were voted for Sam uel s. Allison. The meeting adjourned a' soon as the vote was declared.

NO FREIGHT TRAINS RUNNING. A Western Road i'm Conflict With


 FoRT WAYNE. Ind, Jan. 1.-The train mems strike inaugurated yesterday on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad has assumed definite shape and developed an organization that appears formidable. The passenger trains are unmolested, but there are no freights on the way between Chicago and Crestline But one train has left the city to-day. This was made up at the freight house and run through the yard at a high rate of speed. A double header stock train came in this morning and Superinten- dent Law asked permission of the strikers to send that train out. The request was refused, but the committee of strikers finally decided to allow the stock to be transferred to the Wabash road. A request to transfer train of high cIsss freight met with peremptory refusal Superintendent Law attempted to throw switch, but was seized and carried away The strikers formal statement of grievances demands the permanent abolition of the 'double heaisr' system and the re- employment of all trainmen discharged by reason of its adoption. The strikers are quiet and orderly and under g promise to nrotect the companys property
