A RUMOR AFLOAT IN MERIDEN
IL IL Said That Mr. Bosworth Sold His
Stock In 1t Few Weeks Ago, When
He Disposed OF His Bousstonic
Holdings.
ESPECIAL TO THE SEws.i

MERIDEN, Ct., Aug. 1.-The Meriden.
Waterbury aud Connecticut River Rail
road is again on the market.
The men who bougnJ it few months
ago from the Horace c. Wilcox estate
were j. A. Bostwick, w. II. Starbuck
and F. II. Prince OF the New England
aud Housatonic systems. The price was
$350,O00
1t was understood that the little road
would be at once leased by the Housa-
tonic system. With the purchase went
the $500, 900 of first mortgage bonds and
t400, 900 second mortgage bonds.
The road that leased IL would of course
have to guarantee the interest on the
bonds which the Housatonic folks were
ready to do
Messrs. Bostnick, Starbuck and Prince
would then have $1,000, 900 to sell ia
guaranteed bonds that cost them only
$3.50, ,0O0
A snag in the shape Of the State law
which prohibits a railroad from leasing a
line that does not connect with IL blocked
this deal and the three owners turned to
the New York g. New England.
President Parsons jumped on the
scheme with both feet.
1t is now rumored and by some posi-
lively stated that Mr.. Bostwick sold
cut River stock when he did his
Housatonic few weeks ago TO the Nor
gan syndicate, in which case IL is the Nor
gan syndi cate, that Is the Consolidated
road, which now owns half the stock and
may easily get control, as it is stated that
the Starbuck and Prince stock can be
be bought at very sonable figure.

A great source of annoyance and ex-
pense to railway companies is the en-
croachment OF the grass which grows
around the rails OF their lines. An effec-
tive mode of getting rid of this nuisance
has just been devised In the shape OF an
electrical vegetation destroyer. This
consists Of wire brush, very much In ap-
pearance like an ordinary scrubbing
brush. This IL connected by wire with
q dynamo in the nearest available elec-
trio light or power station. A powerful
current is turned on and an operator
drags the fully charged brush, which is
supplied with wooden handle, over the
grass, killing IL instantly. There are
many ways In which this ability to in
stantly destroy vegetation can be utilized.
Gardeners especially are likely to be
grateful for such ready method OF get
ting rid of noxious weeds on garden
walks as well as in flower beds.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.
