On account of the great amount OF
freight for Providence that has collected
at New York during the last week
through the inability OF the freiahts on
the Consolidated road to move regularly
IL has been found necessary to run the
freight steamer pequot OF the New York
q Providence line an extra trip to this
city. She arrived here yesterday morning,
discharged her cargo. took on for return
SO carloads of freight and started baok
for New York about O'Clock In the
afternoon The Nashua left New York
yestarday with big freight and will ar
rive here today. This will considerably
relieve the oonRested condition OF freight
caused by the storm.
