TRAFFIC INCREASING

On the Consolidated Road-Siens of
 Improvement In Bus1ness-Other
 Railroad News.
 The volume of business on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad that of the previous month, both in freights and passengers. It is not large increase, but is encouraging. An increase was to be expected In view of the fact of the re- opening of business in great many chops in the roads territory that had been closed and the increased time on which many shops are now running.
 Some of our leading business men yes terdsy expressed the belief that the Win son bill will be either killed or else primed into such shape as not to hurt many in- dustries that have hitherto been imperilled by the bill. In that case they hold that business generally throughout the couutry would take a decided start for the better.
 Car 95, the directors car of the New York and New England, passed through Waterbury yesterday with several officials on 8 tour of inspection.
 The railroad commissioners of the state of Connecticut were to have convened at tAo CAGy AdAl All " o.cAouAy SOntcAooy 0U 11:3O 6. m., to take some action upon the application of the court of common coun- ell of that city, dated November 10, 1889, in regard to the matter of the union sta tion and the elimination of certain grade crossings. There have been several hear ings on the application, the last on Janu- ary 4, Yesterday the only commissioner present was William O. Seymour. Com missioner George M. Woodruff was in New York attending the funeral of his cousin, Morris Woodruff, and the other commis- sioner, Alexander 0. Robinson of Montville, was also absent. MT. Seymour thought he had missed his train at Montville. Ac- cordingly, after 8 long barley about the time of adjournment, the hearing was postponed until Tuesday, March 27, at noon
 Receivers Platt and Perry, Superinten- dents Dewey and Quigg and several dilec- tors of the New York and New England railroad returned from trip to Pough- keepsie yes sserday. Their visit is said to have been for the purpose of making ar engagements whereby the freight which is now received from the New York, Lake Erie and Western at Fishkill on the Hud- son will bs diverted by way of Campbell Hall, thereby doing away with the present transfer system and resulting In an i'm mense saving.
 Unauthoriz sd rumors have been current to the effect that the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford road would reduce their regular 10 per cent. annual dividend at the next meeting of the directors, which will be held in this city next Saturday. But it can be stated on good authority that the directors will order the 21 per cent. quarterly dividend Since the com pany began retrenchuent the payroll has been reduced continually, until now they are saving about $50.0O0 a week. The capital stock borrowed has been increased from $32. 93S, ,000 on June last to $37,- 944, 700, which means the payment of $9 ,794. 700 per annum in dividends.

ca and Owego tramway. which has the | honor of being the first railroad operated | in New York state, and from OWego down the Sueauehanna river to Baltimore in boats which were in those days called "sfks." Thus tho towns. of Ithaca and Owego early became important commercial points in this region:~ But with the advent of railroads other cities surpassed them in pnIyessi.y at n Ithaca n 1867 an impulse to growth of an entirely different kind was given, and as the manufacturing interests have bsen gradually eliminated, the place has developed more and more into uni versity town until at present the life of the town is bound up entirely in the uni versity.
 Cornell university is said to have a cam pus among the largest, best located and best improved of any in the world. Situ- ated on . commanding hill, 1t is possible to leok down Cayugs lake for many miles. The buildings are for the most part built | of Nght-colored stone and are of modern architecture, which presents marked con- trast to the New England colleges. The elegant mansion built by Jennie McGraw- | Fiske is situated on the campus and has now been presented to the university for its use.
 Besides the McGraws and the Stages and ex-President White, Hiram Sibley, the we'll known seedsman of Rochester, N. Y., has been one of the principal benefactore of the university, having given it several numbers about j, ,500 students in its vart. ous courses.
 In athletics Cornell is particularly proud of her crew which has always been very successful. Cayuga lake makes an excel. lent place to practice aad tue men are given the right kind of exercise for TOW ing, by walking up the mile-long hill from the town, where most of the students live, to the university buildings The dormitory system Is not in vogue here nor is the at tention paid to classical education which if found in New England colleges.
 "The Gorge" is place of interest which the visitor at Ithaca is invariably taken te see. This Is a crack in the earth, extend. ing downward to @ considerable depth Years ago when hazing was more common than it is now, young man, while being hazed by sophomores, was taken blind folded to the edge of this precipice and ir some way fell over the brink and wal dashed to pieces many fest below.
 Leaving Ithaca with all its charming surroundings we make flying trip tt Geneva, before alluded to. It is an Epis copal school of some note. Geneva Is thu l center Of great fru1t-ralslng country ane is one of the oldest towns in this part ot New York state. It has received consid ereble impetus recently from additions tt it's manufacturing interests.
 After 8 short visit here we took tn, night exp1sss for New York, and after [ good nights rest awoke as the train wa pulling into the Pennsylvania station a Jersey City.
 It can be confidently stated that there i no trip more interesting to the aversg tourists anywhere in the Eastern state than up through the Pennsylvania noun tains and through the central and south ern part of New York via the old rsliabl Lehigh Valley railroad. H. s V.

Sometime ago the ISTBLLrdENCER
