IMPORTANT RAILROAD CHANGES.
The Consolidated Road Buying Up
 New England Stock.

The Consolidated Road Buying Up
 New England Stock.
 The New Haven correspondent of the Tribune has this to say about the Con- solidated railroad: The New Haven and Hartford directors and stockholders in the Consolidated railroad have been busily engaged during the past few weeks in purchasing New York and New England stock. One of these stock holders said that the controlling interest of the New York and New England road was already in the hands of the New York, New Haven and Hartford com pany. It is said that in accomplishing its purpose the latter corporation has been using the same tactics that it em- ployed when it secured possession of the Air Line and New Haven and North time the public will be treated to sur ment of the above facts with additional details. A gentleman who is in posi- ton to know says that the Housatonic railroad company Is interested in the scheme and that next season the latter company will run their Berkshire trains" over the New York and Northern road to Danbury, where connection will be made with the Housatonic. It is also proposed to extend the Danbury and Norwalk road, which was recently leas- cd by the Housatonic company, so that tide-water connection will be secured at Wilson's Point. Beginning at New Mil ford the Housatonic company will build . branch road that will run through New Preston, Washington, Marketable and Worthwhile, and connect with the She paug railroad at point near the New Preston station on that road. It is re- ported that the Housatonic company has secured control of the Shepaug road and will discontinue that portion of 1t which lies between Hswleyville and New Preston station. From Litchfeld, the present terminus of the Shepaug road, the line will be extended to Springfield. Connections will be made with the Nau- gatuck road at Torrington, with the Connecticut Western at New Hartford, and with the New Haven and North ampton road at Westfield or some point near that place. The new line will be called the Bee Line route, and will con- nect at Springfield with the Boston and Albany and New York, New Haven and Hartford railroads. The new line will 2 be owned and controlled by the Housa- tonic and New York, New Haven and Hartford directors.
 .LATER.-It is reported that the Con sohdated road has secured 8 controlling 2 interest in the Housatonic road.
