The New England BOndhOlders and
 Their Reorganization Plan.
 The fact that the name of the treasurer of Yale university is one Of the signers of the last circulsr issued by the New England second mortgage bond-holders, has excited some interest as to the Yale holders of the bonds of the company. The last report of the Yale treasurer shows that they amount to $36. .00O, Of which all but s10. .000 are first mortgage bonds. The theological schools hold 5000 Of the bonds, and the Sheffsld school $10, coo.
 One prominent railroad man here has sold out his bonds, but most of the holders are waiting and profess confidence of ob taining in the end the face of their bonds with interest. The New York Evening Pest says:
 In this connection 8 new problem has risen bearing upon the problem whether the first mortgage Is payable after the first six months default. The mortgage un- doubtedly in form reads that way, but 1t in equity bs restrained by the courts from thus taking advantage of its own default. Whether, how ever, new company, not party to the original contract, would bs go restrained is question for the courts. Some hold that such company would stand in the place of the old one, assuming absolutely all the former equitable obligations in regard to the bonds. Others think a new company could take advantage of the peculiar word ing of the first mortgage and refund it.
 All the leading Consolidated railroad officials are loud in their assertions that they do not want the New England prop erty. It is understood, however, that the Consolidated has not parted with the $i15,- 900 of New England bonds held in its treasury.

AN ENORMOUS FREIGHT TRAFFIC.

AN ENORMOUS FREIGHT TRAFFIC.
 The freighting business along the Con- solidated road Is increasing at very rapid rate, and the moving of freight to accomo- date eonsigners and consignses is not at all an easy matter. Last Saturday there were forty-6ve loaded cars in the freight yard at Norwalk waiting to be shipped, and at many places along the line eastward there were over 100 cars. At New Haven nearly 1000 cars were ready to be shipped at the earliest convenience. The freighting this week on the New York, the Shore Line, the Hartford and the Air Line divisions Ia very brick and in fact very lively. Many extra trains are constantly being run and this has been the case much of the time for two months past. It is reported that extra men have been added at Harlem river to keep pace with the work.
