special committee of the Springfield board of trade, which went to Providence yes- terday to confer with a committee in that city regarding the proposed new railroad betweenth the two cities, returned at late hour last night. The committee con- sisted of President O. s. Greenleaf, A. D. Mason and Secretary w. A. Webster, Ed ward s. Bradford, who was also one of the committee being out of town and un- able to attend. The report of the con- mittee will be awaited with interest.
 The conference was held at the city hall in Providence, Elisha Dyer, chair man of that city's committe, presiding. The proposed railroad is not merely for the convenience of Springfield and Provi- dence, although the greater convenience tostravelers between these two cities is great consideration in the movement. The proposed road, it is expected, would attract great deal of business from Springfield and Providence to points in Connecticut and to the west.
 Maps were exhibited, one of the Atlantic ocean, showing steamer routes to reach Providence, one of Narragansett bay, showing the deep water channel at Provi- dence from the Atlantic ocean; a railroad map, showing connections with the north and west from Providence, and a map of Providence harbor, showing the proposed improvements. During the meetings these maps were frequently referred to. General Dyer asked Mr. Greenleaf to state his views on the proposed railroad extension to Springfield. MT. Greenleaf said that Springfield was interested in anything which would favor it's develop ment. The public are not informed on athe subject. Whatever is said in the meeting will be reported to the people of Springfield as accurately as possible Chairman Dyer asked what the prospects, of continuation would he if road was put through to Danielsonville
 This led to discussion and MT. Scar borough exhibited a, map showing the project of a road between Providence and Springfield as originally proposed. The questions of freight rates, prices of coal, etc., were discussed, and any advantages which might be brought about by rail- road communication between the two cities. It was stated that at times of freight wars goods could be shipped cheap est through Providence. The gentlemen said that they could not state how much Springfield would do in putting road through, as the public had not considered the subject.
 The only morning paper Springfield has had for some time opposed the plan and not much was known about it except what reporters had lead in the columns of the several papers. A merchant was afraid the great city of Providence would take away great part of his business while many were in favor of the plan as it would increase competition. After further discussion the committee ad iourned and together with the visitors dined at the Narragansett Hotel. In the afternoon the party inspected the works on the cove lands and the proposed har | bor improvements.
