A RAILROAD MOVE,

As follows:
The New York and New England mana
gers announce that, on account of con-
dnual delays and unsatisfactory service
caused by ice In East river, and In the in
of steamer transfer, the man
sgement have decided to change the route |
of the Washington express, heretofore |
via Hartford and Harlem river.
On and after January 30 this train
(Which will be composed of the finest Pull
man buffet sleeping cars and cosches) will
cluded, for Philadelphia, due at 7:O4 a. M;
Baltimore, due at 1890 a. M, and Wash
ington, due at II 30 q. m.
The train will run via Hartford, New
Britain, Waterbury, Danbury, Hopewell,
Poughkeepsie bridge, the Reading system
and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, af
fording q complete all rail line from Bos-
ton to Washington, without the inoonve-
nience of transfer by steamer.
This announcement Is Messrs. Parsons
and McLeod's first response to the action
of the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford's frequent attacks upon their revenue.
1t will be remembered that last summer
the fresh fruit business was diverted from
the New York and New England. A little
little later the "Star Union" freight line
was taken away, and now the Washington
express, which has been very successful
for nearly score of years, meets the same
fate.
The same policy ia indicated in the put
ting on of goickened time express trains
on the Boston and Albany and the Old
Colony roads last summer, leaving Boston
on the time of the NewYork and New Eng
lands noon train, while withholding from
| the latter equal quick time facilities.
W.. II, IS = &c al h~
| the public as the practical operation of q
| threat credited to prominent New York,
| New Haven snd Hartford official, that his
l road would in time acquire the New York
| and New England for Its second mortgage
bonds.
The railroad public, in discussing the
| situation, supports the idea that this policy
| will be continued by an interference with
| the p. m. or "ghost" train of the New
York and New England.
The new train to Washington by Pough-
| keepsie bridge will unite at the bridge
| with the train now leaving the Boston and
| Maine station at $50 p. m. over the Cen
| trail Massachusetts line.
| Some students of the situation think
| Mr.. Mcleod will withdraw the latter train,
| as the New York and New England line Ia
| the better of the two, but others believe
| the northern line has sufficient local bust
ress to justify its retention.
| The second move of the New York and
| New England people appears in the notice
| Just given by President Parsons of his in
tention to withdraw his road from the Bos-
ten and New York Ines agreement.
This agreement was made in March, 1881
| fixing the all rail rate between Boston and
New York at So, and by the sound boats at
| 81 in summer and So in winter.
Sixty days notice of this withdrawal ia
| required before rates can be changed, and
when the time has elapsed-if the situa
ton ia unohanged-there is q probability
| of lively rate war which will interest the
travelling public.
An ali rail rate of 81 and boat rate OF
So is anticipated as the first break.
The recent alliance of the New York and
l New England road with the New York and
Northern, by which a very pleasant and
convenient entrance to New York at One
Hundred and Fifty-6fth street is secured
independent of the New York, New Haver
and Hartford road, and its entire contro
of the sound line by way of New Londo1
gives the New York and New England roae
opportunity to assume the aggressive posi-
ton, and, to some extent at least, to &c
even with it's competitors,
Brakeman Killed on the Track.
HARTFORD, Jan. 27.-Miles J. MacDon

New England road, whose home was a

passenger train west bound came along
His body was badly cut up and mangled
