1t is unfortunate for Springfield that the Connecticut Western was not allowed to extend its branch to this city, and if Springfield people had worked as indus triously to bring that about as the peo- pie of some other places in Western Massachusetts worked against it, the result might have been different.
 On Monday of this week June 25) a reliable business man informed us that competent civil engineer, well versed in railway building and we'll acquainted with the section through which it is proposed to build the New York and Massachusetts, road, recently told him that |" if said company would give him the money which it would cost to build said road he would agree to carry on his back all the freight that would naturally go over that route for all time to come" And yet in the face of such an opinion, expressed by a competent civil engineer, it is proposed to expend S6,000,O0O in building rail. road from Boston Corners to Westfeld. Such road would seem to be the widest of wildcat schemes. At all events, if the road is ever built goodly portion of the route will be through a wild country inhabited by wildcats. The Hartford Courant of June IA says that the charter of the Poughkeepsie bridge requires it to accommodate ali roads that may desire to deliver freight to it from any direction" Does that look as if Mir Cone held the key to the Poughkeepsie bridge?
 Furthermore, according to the Pough keepsie Eagle of June 23, the contro- versy in regard to the eastern approach to the Poughkeepsie bridge was amica- ply settled last week.
 We have furthermore been told that Mir Cone or the New York and Massa- chusetts road do not own continuous line from Poughkeepsie to Boston Corners. There is gap from Stissing to Pine Plains where the New York and Massachusetts trains run over the New burgh, Duchess < Connecticut road.
