SPAULDlNG'S SUMMIT NEVER CHANGES.

The Connecticut Western railroad has had Q checkered career and has under gone many changes. After failing in business for itself, it was run awhile by the bondholders; then the road went into the hands of receiver; then the original or common stock was wiped ont, the bonds were scaled and scrip or preferred stock issued and the road was reorganized but subsequently passed into the control of the Central New England & Western Railroad Go who soon leased the Connecticut Western road to themselves The O. N. D. & W. R. R. Go. for term of 50 years. Soon it was discovered that 8 corporation called the Delaware & New England Go. owned majority of the Central New England & Western stock. Now the Reading Railroad has got control of the Poughkeepsie Bridge and the Central New England & Western road. Such in brief is substantially the history of the Connecticut Western road, although we are not sure we have mentioned all the changes or the order in. which they occurred, nevertheless there is one thing which does not change and it will be unchanged when the Reading road and its successors get tired of bucKing against it. viz; Spaulding's summit at Norfolk. Money is power; but It takes both money and power to haul freight over Spaulding's summit. as every rail- road corporation has discovered after making the experiment.
 We formerly had great faith in the Connecticut Western road and it's future. We have not lost our friendship for the road nor for whatever corporation oper- ates the road, but we are confident that it will never pay to attempt to run "A Great Through Freight Route" over Spaulding's summit. But we still think that it would pay to develope local freight and passenger traffic be tween Hartford and Millerton, because AVoSA AolSus 0Au Pnooon8oh eoA AhS @Ao esA- ways higher than the tariffs on through business over competing lines.
 It is said that, "An Italian engineer has originated system by which he proposes to utilize the power of trains running down grade; that is, he has de- devised . machine for compresslng air as the train goes down, which can be used to actuate motor at the will of the engineer, and to assist the locomo- tives on up grades" If said system proves a success the Reading road should equip all their trains with it in order to reduce the expense of sealing Spaulding's summit. Is was an easy 'job" to scale the bonds of the old Con. necticut Western road but it is quite g different task to scale Spaulding's sum
