Negotiations Under way for Leasing
the Fitchburg Road.
A Ninety Nine Year Contract with
the Delaware & Hudson.

There are good reasons for stating that ne.
gotiations are under way between the Fitch
burg road and the Boston & Maine. looking
to the control of the fermer by the latter. A
99-year contract with the Delaware & Hud-
son may have some bearing upon the result.
If the Fitchburg preferred stockholders
will accept fixed rate of dividend upon
their stock, and the common stock held by
the State and New York parties can be pro-
vided for, there is some prospect that
trade can he made. Then new terminal
bond to provide for IA grand station upon
Causeway street that will furnish ample &C
commodation for the future growth of the
Boston d Maine system. is said to be part
of the DEAL
indications are strong that a recent deal
between the Boston & Maine and New York
d New England will do away with the ne
cessity for the extension of the Central Mas
sachusetts to Springfield. The Poughkeep-
sic Bridge people, however, may come for.
ward with new proposition that will dis
count the New York & New England. The
contest between the latter road and the
Poughkeepse Bridge route promises to be-
come one of the worst upon record, and will
be likely to have more or less influence upon
all the coal roads that are interested in the
New England trade.
Ii the Boston & Maine secures the Fitch
burg, it will be considered a bear point on
Central Massachusetts.

woman, who have been separated, but. in

Harris as the maid, were quite at home in
their roles. The hit of the evening was

this morning Mr.. Lewellyn went down to
