It Will Pursue a Vigorous Policy and
 Form Alliances.
 The change in the management of the New York & New England Railroad company, which was predicted, was formally announced yesterday, after a meeting of the board of directors. Charles Parsons, ex-president of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg rail road, and his friends are now in control. The Tn reslgnat1ons of Directors Jonas H. French, c. w. Sinclair and A. w. Nc Kesson of Boston, were submitted to the board and were accepted. Messrs Austin Corbin and Charles Parsons of New York and F. H. Prince of Boston were elected to succeed the retiring di- rectors. The resignation of J. A. Bost- wick, as president of the road, was also accepted, and Mir Corbin was elected in his place. Mir Bostwick becomes chair man of the board of directors, which office was created for him.
 The appointment of Mir Corbin as president was a surprise to many, but it was taken to mean that the New Eng land-Long Island alliance will be con tlnued; also that the New England will both extend its system, and that it will establish relations with companies with which Mir Corbin is known to be infiu- sntlal. It is said that the appointment Of MT Corbin as president was made a condition by Mir Parsons before he de- cided to take hold of the property. The purpose is to have at the head of the New England road a man of strong executive ability, with unlimited capac- ity for work.
 This is what Mir Corbin says of tine deal: am thorough believer in the future of the New England property. l have large interest in the stock and take hold of it to make that more valuable. There is no truth in the statement that policy antagonistic to the New Haven road will be adopted, We are in the field for business, and ex- pect our proper share of it; but there IS plenty for both, and we shall aim to work in harmony with all our neigh DOTS. There are some further develop ments to be made in the way of new connections for New England, but I cannot talk about them now

RAILROAD STRIKE THREATENED.
The New Haven News Tells of Trouble
 on the Consolidated Road.

The New Haven News Tells of Trouble
 on the Consolidated Road.
 The New Haven News says: "P. M. Arthur, the head of the Brotherhood of Locomitive Engineers, and F. B. Sar- gent, principal officer of the Brother hood of Locomotive Bremen, have both in town for some days on business con- nected with differences between the off cers of the Consolidated road and the engineers and firemen in its employ.
 "The difficulty which seems now to be coming rapidly to head dates back for some eleven months. Shortly after the first of the year 1891 the company's executive officers were notified that the tiremen of tfe Naugatuck, Northampton and Valley divisions of the Consolidated road believed themselves entitled to an increase of pay. The firemen on these divisions receive less than those on the main line: Their pay is S1.75 cents a day, while the main line f1remen re- ceive $2,25. Besides this, the main line tiremen are paid extra for all the dis tance that they run per day exceeding 100 miles. Those on the Hartford divi- sion, which extends from New Haven to Springfield, ordinarily make $25O a day. It is to the interest of the enpi- neers that the firemen who work under them should receive reasonably good pay. TOT CnaC reason the brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers always back up the tiremen in any demands that they esteem to be just.
 "What the firemen of the Naugatuck, Northampton and Valley divisions ask is twenty-five cents day increase in their regular wages and an additional amount for every mileNin excess of 100 that they run during a day. It is ex- pected that Chief Arthur and Chief Sargent will meet the railroad officials for the last time to-day and that the result of that conference will be imme- diately followed by decisive action"
 Superintendent Beach of the Nauga- tuck division was seen this morning. He said that he knows nothing about the trouble except what he read in this mornings paper. He stated that all firemen on the Naugatuck division are paid $2 per day.
 General Manager Futile of the Con solidated road, when seen by a Con- necticut Associated Press reporter this morning, said that there was not a word of truth in the story and that there was no dissatisfaction among the men in the employ of the road.
 F. M. Augur, head of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, who is here on business, says that there is no truth whatever in the story.

The number of cases of finished hats shipped from Danbury in 1891 was 133,- 315 cases. The cases vary from three to eight dozen. With four dozen as an average the number of hats shipped from Danbury is figured at six and one half millions. And this does not in- clude Bethel and Mill Plain, which are really in the Danbury hating district.
