HAVE MAJORITY OF THE STOCK

OF the Winchester Avenue Railroad
Company--George A. Fernald e. Co.
The latest concerning the situation as
regards the New England Street Rail-
way company and the Winchester ave-
nue. trolley road of this city and West
Haven is that nto only have George A.
Fernald & Co., bankers of Boston, made
an offer for the controlling interest in
the stock of the latter company but
that Fernald & Co. are actual posses
sors of the coveted majority of stock
of the Winchester road This, the Bos-
ton firm has acquired by having ac-
quired control of the majority of the
stock Of the New England Street Rail-
way company, which holds the majority
of the stock of the Winchester COM
pany. The New England company is a
corporation formed for acquiring the
stock and control of trolley roads and
other corporations. 1t has had cornrol
of various properties, but its only re-
naming property at present is the ma
jority of the stock of the Winchester
avenue company. Two gentlemen
prominent in street railroad affairs and
posted in regard to the New England
Street Railway company say that there
is not the slightest doubt that Fernald
& Co. now own the control of the Win
chester avenue road.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
New England Street railway will be
held next Monday in New York city.

In closing Dr. Phillips read two let,

ter, one from Sergeant Jerome of the
Foot Guard and the other from Cap
tain Townshend to a comrade In the
company Both were beautiful tributes
to his memory
DR.. Gilbert as the last speaker had
but very little left to say, but his de-
scription of his personal relations with
DR.. Twitchell were in their disclosure
of his personal character, beautiful
testimonial. 1t might be said that all
was summed up in the speakers asser-
ton that "Dr. Twitchell was one of
those men whom, when he has passed
away, one says, I wish / had known
him longer"
Dr. Gilbert said that DR.. TwitcheIl
had been to him ever friend who had
tried to smooth over his perplexities
The good feeling which exists between
the two churches he said, is largely
due to his efforts and to his friendship
DR.. Twitchell belonged to that broader
faith which shall characterize the faith
of tomorrow. And then shall be no
more sectarianism, but a common bond

was about the throat Of the RATHER,
Over and over they went, the kings
head above that of his enemy, and a.
curve of his body acting as buffer to
keep up the motion which enabled him
to take another turn and still another.
And so the struggle continued till the
rattler did not writhe freely, and he was
held as vine wraps a. tree. When he
lay still the king snake began to uncoil
himself slowly. and at very motion of
his enemy the constructors folds con-
tracted and crushed with killing effect.
Even when there was only CULVER Of

1t was plain he had wholesome respect
for the fangs that We're still terrible.
AS last precaution the king applied
his nostrils delicately to those Of the
RATHER and repeated that several times
as if to detect the faintest breath. Sat-

still watched ready TO resume its hold at
the slightest sign Of life.

| A Deadly Combat Which Incidentally
| Was Advantageous to a Third Great
| ure
If the rattlesnake is justly called the
king of Americas woods and rocks, yet
his crown is not held without danger,
since he is hunted diligently and sue
cessfully. His fangs are indeed deadly,
and he wears a fine suit OF arnor, but
the deer and the wild hog never fail to
attack him, and he has an enemy of his
own kind still more dangerous to him.
Snakes may be divided into three
classes. Those which are venomous, the
constructors and those which are Meth
err Unless the second of these are Won
derful for their size, they secure little Of
our attention, and yet they are gener-
ally beautiful in colors, most graceful
in action and often among our best
friends, In Florida we have two con-
strictors especially noticeable-the black
races which grows to the length of
twelve feet and makes business Of
warning on rats and other small deer
the farmer hates; and the king snake,
whose mission seems to be the exter-
mination of the RATHER.
One day l was returning from days
hunt, at peace with the world and my
self, when l heard a squirrel scoldlng
as If he were a ward politician the
night before election. The noise he
made was so loud and insistent that /
turned out of my way to see what could
be the matter. found the little fellow
on the trunk of pine about ten feet
from the ground, jumping about as If in
commissions. He would flourish his tail
wildly, scold in anger, threaten an as
sault, run back a little way up the
trunk and then return and scold again
I looked carefully and saw that his
anger was directed at a rattlesnake that
lay coiled at the foot of the tree. The
snake was compressed into ball, from
the middle of which its rattle sounded
continuously; it's blazing little eyes were
fixed unchangingly upon those of the
squirrel. The buzz, buzz droned on the
summer air with a sleepy effect, but the
squirrel scolded in an ever-ascending
key. But for the hint of the squirrels
eyes l could not have located the rat
tier. His color and his variegated mark
ings offered but little contrast to his
surroundings. His monotone of noise
was indefinite, and to sight as we'll as in
sound he seemed only a blur on the
background of the dark sand on which
he lay.
Was the squirrel only curious to sat-
isfy himself as to the character of that
strange object, or was he hypnotized?
have often amused myself by exciting
the violent curiosity Of the little animal,
but never did a waving or jumping ob-
ject awaken such intense and painful |
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1900-04-23

emotion as the RATHER always demands.
I knew what must soon follow; that
| the squirrels cries would grow weak
| that he would grow dizzy and finally
| tumble from the tree, hang moment
by one claw and then drop into the
jaws of the living death that lay in
wait. I had raised my rifle to save the
little fellow, when the tragedy was in
terrupted from another quarter.
Swift as light, form raced on the
stage. 1t was clothed in a cleaning
coat of beautiful white and black spots:
it shifted and shone like necklace Of
precious stones, and knew the king
snake claimed a. victim. The newcon-
err was smaller than the RATHER. Its
ground color was a greenish gray, and
the spots scintillated in the sunlight
which shifted down upon the scene from
the tangled branches overhead.
At the first rustic of its approach the
RATHER lost all interest in the squirrel,
which ran back into the tree. The king
snake held his head high and raced
around the RATHER in wide circle, while
the RATHER tried to stink away. The
king darted forward as if to attack and
the RATHER threw himself into q coil.
The king was again away and raced
around with a sWiftness the RATHER
seemed unable to follow with his eyes.
The RATHER was cowed already; his crest
was lowered, his buzz, buzz was jerky
and uneven, and altogether he presented
very different appearance from the
self-confdent arbiter of the woods
which he had seemed when first saw
him I could think of nothing but some
human bully surprised in the act of
torturing his helpless victim, and sud
denly compelled to face an adversary
worthy of his strength. The king snake
seemed to enjoy the situation as cat
does her cruel dallying with a mouse.
Round and round went the king snake
and the RATHER followed the movement
till its neck was twisted Whenever it
attempted to turn the king would spring
forward, and it was evident that the
first failure of the RATHER in swiftnoss
would be the signal for muscle to clinch
with venom. The king would race from
left to right and then reverse, and if
the RATHER failed to follow that would
be the end of him. This happened, and
I saw the king in the air, but could
not catch the strike, SO instantaneous
was it.
There was a confusion of flying pine
