BIT OF NEW ENGLAND ROAD HISTORY RE
CALLED.
just ten years ago this month the road
had It's Initial experience with a receiver
ship, but unlike reoeiverships generally, 1t
worked to the advantage Of everybody who
had a dollar at stake in the road. In the
latter part of 1883 the financial condition
of the road was going from bad to worse.
The extension to the Hudson: completed
two years previous at hssvy cost, was ex-
pensive to maintain. Through business
was taken In great quantities at unprofta-
BILE rates. The floating debt was in
creasing and creditors were pressing
on every side for their money. On
Monday night, the 31st of December, the
directors met here in Hartford to con-
sidsr the situation and q session lasting
nearly until midnight ended in the con-
clusion that reoeivership was inevitable
to avert attachments and the tying up of
the road. The Hon. Simeon e Baldwin Of
New Haven, now on the supreme court
bench, drafted the papers, the application
being made in the name of Henry Brassey
of London, member of parliament, and
holder of q number of the second mort
gage bonds. Mr.. Baldwin and others went
to Judge Shipmsn's residence on Charter
Oak place, aroused him from a sound
sleep, and got him down stairs to his
library for conference. The papers were
signed and President Charles P. Clark was
appointed receiver. The appointment was
CONQUERED in by the courts elsewhere, and
he continued in control of the road for ek-
al ,1~I,
business was abandoned, local trade was
developed, and in December, 1885, the con-
Germ was In such a good financial condi,
ton that the courts readily granted the
application for its restoration to company
management.
Since then the New England has had 9
checkered career. 1t ia better road than
| it was ten years ago, but it seems to have
been burdened with q good deal of bust
ness of the uproftable kind and has beer
hard pressed for money of late, owing tc
the general business dullness. It is Gu
rious fact that it's common stock is point
lower to day than at the time of the re-
ownership of December, 1888. At the end
of that receivership it was quoted at $751;
e. Consolidated Does Not Want 1t.
HOW NEW ENGLAND MAY BE FORCED UPON

President Charles P. Clark of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford said yes
terdsy relative to the new turn in railroad
affairs:
IT have only to reiterate the statemen
which have made several times the pas
month: We don't want the New England
road, for it would only be burden to u
if we had it. The New England people
have used our name to try to boom thei
stock lately, but we have made no over
lures to them whatever.

DIR. LEES CASE CONTINUED.


The Preliminary Hearing In tho
Court January 4-The Continuance
Granted at the Request OF the Ac-
cusedss Counsel.
In the city court yesterday morning the
case against Dr.. J. Edward Lee, charged
with murder in the second degree in caus-
ing the death of Mrs. George Miller, was
continued to January at the request of
the accused's counsel, J. P. Goodhart, in
order to give him an opportunity to pre-
pare a defense. DR.. Lee was accompanied
in court by his uncle, DR.. T. B. Ellison
of New York, and DIR. Conroy, also of
New York.
When the case was called DR.. Lee took
his place at the end of the table reserved
for prisoners and Attorney Goodhart set
the ball rolling in the following address to
the court!
eff 1t please your honor, desire con-
tinuance in this case for two weeks.

which in fact has no foundation except
some sensational rumors which have been
woefully gsrbled and exaggerated.
| trust that your honor will grant nay re-
quest which is nothing more than asking
that the usual courtesy extended counsel
| in cases of serious nature be granted In
this instance"
Mr.. Matthewman in reply said: "The
state objects to any such lengthy continu-
ance in this case, and can see no reason
for not going ahead and trying 1t. DR.. Lee
has had ample time to retain counsel since
his arrest and prepare his defense. will
not offer any objection to granting a rea-
sonable continuance to Brother Goodhart
although the state Is ready to 60 on thii
afternoon or tomorrow morning and try
the case. don't wish to hurry the tria
of any man go az to prejudice his interests
but I think that the continuance asked fol
by Brother Goodhart is entirely unreason
able. I am willing to grant him two OF
three days time to prepare his case, but il
he Is 80 anxious to have his client cleared
of this serious charge why shouldn't he q
ahead by that time and do so If he cant"
After q few seconds delay Judge Cabl,
ordered the preliminary hearing in the cast
begun January 4, and the case was over fo

TERRIBLE SUFFEHINGS


CHlNcorAGrE, Va, March 26.-Captain
Alfred Lewis of the schooner Price. aban-
dpued at sea, arrived here last night from
Liverpool. lie relates n thrilling story ot
the trials of himself and crew before being
rescued.
The vessel was bound for New Haven
Coma, and when off Cape May was dis
ahled and driven out to sea. The sails
were set when the storm arose. and the
heavy seas washed the decks, carrying over
water casks and the deckload. The men
were compelled to cling to the masts. The
steering gear was disabled and the vessel
was at the mercy of the waves.
During lull, the men succeeded in low
ering the foresail. and Immediately after
the vessels hold began to fill. The pumps
were broken and valueless, and the captain
thought all were lost.
From Tuesday, Feb. q 70 Thursday they
hal no water, and the sutferings from
thirst and cold were intense. During the
storm they tried to catch rain, but the spray
turned this to salt. Then they ate the lei
cles that formed on the rigging, but they
were salty, AMI increased instead of dimin
ished their sufferings.
Thursday At noon, they we're sigh ted By
the steamer Cufic, which rescued them aud
took them to Liverpool.
