A ShReWD MOVE.
Boston & Maine Blocks N. Y. 4 N. e. In q
Railroad Deal.

SpaINofiELp. Mass, Dee. l6.-Probab'
" the greatest railroad deal Of recent
wears, so far as Western Massachusetts, is
concerned, was checkmated last night and
today. As published on Wednesday, the
New York, New Haven 4 Hartford X. r.
last Tuesday secured from the directors of
the Connecticut River Road their consent
to lease that road, the idea being eyentu-
ally to make il a portion of "a consolidated
system.
|, was presumed by the public and, in
fact, by a very large majority of railroad
people. that this settled the matter, the only
thing necessary being the ratification of the
action Of the directors by tae stockholders
of the Connecticut River Railroad. a bomb
was thrown into the financial circles in this
city this morning when it was reported that
the Boston l. Maine interest had secured an
option or purchased over II 800 shares OF
the Connecticut River stock out of total
capitalization of 80 100000.
This made il necessary TO secure only a
few hundred shares, and as il took two
thirds vote of the stockholders Of the Con-
necticut River to lease that road it seems
to eifectually prevent the lease of the road
to the New York, New Haven 4 Hartford
in any event.
Friends of the Boston & Maine deal
clam that either the Boston & Maine has
secured the few shares necessary ir addi-
ton to those already secured, in order to
give them the controlling interest, or that
there will be no trouble in getting them.

Mexico has enormous deposits Of the best

degree Of security.
The policy of the government IL not TO

native industries to live In fair competition
