RAILROAD MATTERS.

Officials of the Consolidated and New
 England Roads Come Together.
 The Boston Herald said last night that 1t is able to announce, with a good de- gree of accuracy, that the New York, New Haven & Hartford and the New York G New England traffic officials have come to an amicable agreement. It continues:
 "The main point of the contest-the division of freight coming from the Pennsylvania road to New England by the Star Union line, the southern traffic, etc, is settled and in the future the busi- ness will return to it's former channel. The quarrel over the Sound lines busi- ness is also to be included in the adjust ment.
 'The New England road will with draw Presidents Parsons note of his roads withdrawal from the Sound lines agreement, so that the anticipated slaughter of New York rates will be averted. The contest over the transfer of busin ,ss at Blackstone jur ction is also settled"
 Vice President Lucius Futile of the New York, New Haven & Hartford road was shown the statement made by the Herald. Mfr Futile declared the story to be without the slightest founda- tion in fact. The Pennsylvania freight and southern fruit traffic, he said, will go by the Shore Line as now, and not by the Air Line and New England.

Opening of the Pool Match For the State
 Championship.

Opening of the Pool Match For the State
 Championship.
 An audience numbering about 300 witnessed the opening games of the pool match between Fred Harvey of this city and "Shell" Beach of Meriden, , in the opera house last night. The match is for $500 and the championship of Connecticut, three hundred points. A tedious delay was occasioned by a misunderstanding in regard to the cue ball. The referee, Charles H. Miller of New Haven, settled the dispute by ordering that a composition ball be used. J. J. Doherty of Meriden was chosen referee for Beach, Joseph Mo Grath represented Harvey, and D. F. Finn was marker. Shortly after nine o'clock the game opened Beach winning the break. Harvey made three balls scored three. Harvey missed an easy one and Beach forfeited the remaining nine balls, winning the first set. In the second game after Beach made scratch Harvey pocketed fourteen balls, Beach missed and Harvey cleaned the table. Harvey then made a poor break and Beach made a run of fourteen after a brilliant opening. Harvey missed again and the fifteenth ball was cleverly pocketed by Beach. From thIs point on it was tame affair, neither man play ing a strong game. Harvey secured a small lead and held it to the close, when the score stood 153 to 133 in his favor The other half of the game will be played in Meriden on Thursday evening, April 27. A number of sports from Meriden, Ansonia, Birmingham and Naugatuck were present.
