 HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. 18.-The report from New York that the big Sugar Trust has prepared to transfer its assets to new cor- poration, if the Court of Appeals pronounces the trust illegal, is known here to indicate that the trust will seek refuge within the sheltering arms of the Commonwealth Re6n- ing company, which was entered by the Connecticut Legislature last winter and au- thoriEed to own and conduct sugar factories and refineries, and to transact business of all kinds appertaining to sugar, including the "aolding of stock of corporations having re- lations to sugar refining for parties interes- ted therein, with all tho rights of owners, all parties entitled thereto, and to acquire, purchase, receive, intrust or otherwise hold, grant, sell, mortgage, lease and otherwise dispose of all kinds of property, real, per- sonal and mixed, whether in the State of Connecticut or elsewhere"
 The home office of the company is fixed at New Haven by the charter, but only one di- their assistants shall reside in the State. All the principal business may be transacted in New York.
 The capital stock is fixed at not less than $1 ,000, 900, in shares of $100 each, and the stock may be increased to $10, ,000, 900.

The frst thirteen were declared elected. President Clark said that traflc on the Shore Line division, which under @ lease for o99 years, has increased so much that e double track is needed. We have finished four tracking from the Harlem junction at New Rochelle to Portchester. We will now com- mencs at Norwalk and extend the four tracks through Bridgeport and Saugatuck to the tower at the Compo crossing. The next move will probably be from New Haven westward. Our attention has been called to the condition of affairs in Bridgeport, and we will soon have to either eliminate the grade crossing or go around tho city, either of which will necessitate a large outlay of money. A large round house Is under cons struotion at the Harlem river junction. We will soon have to make some arrangement for the transfer of passengers into New York city, other than we now have, either by Rap. i'd transit or by the Second Avenue Elevated road. There are number of important ini- provements going on at Mount Vernon. The crossing into New York is not what 1t should be and we propose to raise the up track up above the down one, so that collisions will be an impossibility. This will cost us about $50, 900. The Mount Vernon station and tracks will be changed so that we will have . straight track and better accommodations for passengers and freight"
 Merry L. Goodwin of East Hartford, ob- jected to many things in the directors re- port and criticized the manner In which the affairs of the road had been conducted. President Clark answered him and explained everything satisfactorily. A vote of thanks was given the directors and the meeting ad- journed.

The Body of . Beautiful Woman
 Found in the Woods.
 LAMAR. Mo-, Dec. 18.-The body of Q handsome and fashionably attirsd young wo- man, who had evidently been murdered, was found in the woods near town Monday sven- ing by some boys. The remains were at once brought town to and every effort made to solve the mystsry.i
 The woman's skull was crushed and black and blue spots on the throat showed that she had been choked. The dress was of silk ,and all the other clothing of the finest make and material, but there was nothing by which to identify the beautiful victim.
 The pockets contained no article except 6 delicately scented white linen handkerchief. The hands are small and finely shaped and one finger appears to have been slightly marked by ring.
 The palms are evidently those of person not accustomed to work, while the nails are we'll kept. Everything indicates that the victim was person of refinement. Hun dreds of persons viewed the body yesterday, but no one could be found who had ever seen the woman before.
