RAILROAD MATTERS.

Does Not want the Etchburg.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
In regard to the statement coming from
Boston to the effect that the Delaware and
Hudson Canal company might turn up in
control of the Fitchburg railroad at the an
nual meeting which will occur shortly, sew
eral local directors of the former concern
were seen. There, are certain points in
which an alliance might be found to benefit
both properties. and it has been several
times said that the ownership of a sufficient
amount of Fitchburg stock would alone be
-ecessary to bring the line under Delaware
and Hudson control A director of the lat
ter company says that he does not know
that, as reported any New York interest in
Ne Fitchburg property is going to use its
sto\t at the election in favor of Delaware
and Hudson. President ELEPHANT of the
Delaware and Hudson company said that
there was absolutely no truth in the state
ment referred to. He adds "Some peo-
pie in Boston, | dare say, would be very
glad TO have us assume the ownership and
control of Fitchburg, but we are not looking
AT it in the same light. The property is not
one which We want The misfortunes of
the Fitchburg in the past year, and its &c
emulation of a considerable floating debt,
are said in other quarters TO be the chief OBJ
stables to IA trade which might otherwise
have been made.
