 The following interesting correspond ence has just passed between ex.Governor Waller and President Clark of the Consol- dated road:
 NEW YORK, June 6, 1894. Hon. Charles P. Clark, President New
 York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
 Company, New Haven, Conn.,:
 My Dear MT. P:esident-I venture to address you personally in this matter be- cause 1t is one about which I had per sonal conversation with you, and in regard to which an arrangement has already been made, which arrangement now ask to be modified so that 1t will be of greater ad- vantage to my company, without adding and burden to the interest you represent. By this arrangement the New Haven Street Railway company was permitted to cross the Shore Line tracks with empty cars only. Now, as there are no crossing between the hours of g o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, and as between these times on Sunday there is great deal of street rail way travel across the track at Ferry street to and from excursion points beyond it, 1t would be great convenience to our com pany and to the public If the above ar rangement could be 50 changed as to per- init cars with passengers to oross the track at the place named on Sunday between the hours named. As the proposed arrange ment does not involve any danger because of passing trains, have consented to ask you to consider 1t, and hope you will bs able to do 50 favorsbly and at your earli- material consideration to us. With re- speot, I am, Yours very truly, THOMAS M. WALLER. NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 2, 1894. Hon. Thomas M. Waller, 15 Wall street, New York:
 Dear Sir-Yours of the 9th of June, ask ing that our arrangement with the New Haven Street Railway company be modi- fed to the extent of permitting the oross- ing of the Shore Line tracks at Ferry street by its pass sngers between 9 o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the afternoon on Sundays, when there are no schedule train s running, because 1t will be great conven- fence to your company and to the public, is received.
 thank you very much for making this suggestion and sgree cordially to the mod ideation of the existing arrangement at the {ron nd f0 10 kfr1ry that in view of the possibility of extra, wrecking or construction trains between the hours named you will require your con- ductors to precede the car when it crcs ses the tracks and at 8 sufficient distance to stop If aything should be in sight on the steam railroad tracks.
 This company has no desire to incon- venience tha electric railway or the public.
 It has opposed and will oppose everywhere the crossing of it's lines at grade by elec- ! trio or horse railways only in the interest of public safety.
 It will be only three or four weeks before the use Of these tracks by this company will be discontinued. Yours Truly, CHARLES P. CLARK, President. The New York and White Mountain ex press will commence running Monday, uAy @s 0AO "AAA lOo Oo oA6COA4b4AAou tAAs
