Fitchburg Roads Future. -

Talk of Merging the Railroad with the
Vanderbilt Interests.
The rumor was circulated in Boston Saturday
that the Fitchburg railroad would be merged with
the great Vanderbilt sy stem by means of the
closer connection betwe N it and the Delaware
and Hudson.
The Fitchburg road runs to Troy, N Y. where
there is connecting. link for il with the Della
ware and Hudson, with the Nickel Plate a.
he West Shore bv wav of Rotterdam Junction.
Is therefore apparent that the western connec-
tons of this road are entirely under the Wander
bilt interest Its traffic policy is too great eX
tent dictated by these connections With the
possibilities Of docking facilities al this end OF the
line the Fitchburg forms an ideal outlet Tor the
Atlantic seaboard business of these roads, and It's
earnings have been helped materially by its close
alliance with the Delaware and Hudson, ana
through IL with the other companies Delaware
and Hudson business sent by way of the Rutland,
the Central Vermont, and the Boston and Maine
must traverse an indirect route, while 10y the way
of the Fitchburg it taaes an almost direct line
across the state to Boston.
The facilities for handling grain at Boston have
impressed The fancy OF the managers OF the van
derbilt system: and the death OF resdent Marcy
and the topsy fury state of Ftchburg affairs
seem to give them an opportunity to take pos
session. MIR. Webb Is a director IN the FltchburK

CHESTERFIELD, N. H.
Smashed to KindIing Wood.

runaway accident resulting in the complete
demolition Of A. T. Cobb's top carriage occurred
Monday afternoon near the watering trough stu
ated part way down the Keene hills. Mr.. Ross Of
Hyde Park Mass, and his wife and child were
driving toward Keene with a horse and carriage
hired Of A r. Cobb when, according to his own
statement, although going down a steep grade
and totally unfamiliar with the road, he raced
horses with some one. on turning the sharp
curve known as keene corner, the carriage was
upset and the occupants thrown violently to the
ground. Mrs Ross sustained several bruises and
cuts about the face and head, but none of the
party were seriously injured. The hoI Sc ran TO
the John Robbins place, some three miles further
on, deposting fragments of the carriage along
the entire route. Mr.. Cobb has in his possession
the two badly shattered rear wheels of the vehi-
Gle. Considering the amount of travel between
the lake and Keene it seems quite remarkable
that no collision or other damage, above that al
ready stated, resulted from such runaway.
