DECISION FATORS n. Y, n. Fl. & III
VERSES SUPERIOR COURT IN THE CEN
TRAL NEW W-ENGLAND CASE

Word reached this city yesterday that the Court
of Appeals of Connecticut had given decision ad-
verse to the Central New-England Railway Com
pany in It's efforts to obtain right of way across
a strip of land 315 feet wide at Granbys Notch for
the Tariffville Springfield branch. which 1t is build
Ing for the purpose of competing with the New
York. NewHaven and Hartford Railroad Company
for New-England freight business. This will have
the effect of delaying the completion of the branch.
The case has been pending since last fall Ii was
brought by man named Montague. ostensibly the
owner of long strip of land in the Notch across
which the Central New England desires to go. He
endeavored TO get Injunction restraining the
railway company from crossing his land, and re-
fused to sell any price. The Superior Court de-
cided In favor Of the railroad. An appeal was
taken to the Court of Appeals. where the decision
of the Superior Court reversed yesterday.
The actual owner of the strip OF land is supposed
to be the New-York New-Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company. The tracks of the road
laid the boundary OF the strip either side.
The Central New England needs this branch in
order to give 1t a friendly New-Engand connection
for its fight with the Consolidated Road. 1t has
a forty year traffic arrangement with the Boston
and Albany Railroad Company, and expects to
connect with 1t Springfield.
One closely connected with the affairs of the
Central New-England Railway Company, when
seen by Tribune reporter last night, said that he
had just received telegram announcing the courts
adverse decision but containing insufficient details
to warrant him in stating the grounds taken in
the decision. When asked TO its effect upon the
completion OF the important link he said:
1t may delay matters little, but IT is ridiculous
and ability going to let matter of 300
feet of land. across which you could throw snow
of several hundred thousand dollars. We expected
the decision to be in our favor but are determined
to get TO Springfield somehow, even III we have 10

road from Salt Lake to Los Angeles
with Needles as the connecting point
says c. P. Huntington.
The new line will run a little to the
east Of the Union Pacific's line from
Salt Lake southwest via Milford to the
Nevada State line. 1t will develop a
good local traffic in addition to hand
ling overland business. The line will
open up some valuable coal fields in

posed cutoff between Los Angeles and
Ogden and the East by way Of the Car

route will be by the way of Mojave.

In Attendance at Court here last week
paid the News a pleasant call on
Thursday. Reports have been current
for some time that the former will be a
candidate for the. Congressional nonin-
alton at the Republican convention this
fall, and in response to our question as
to the truth Of the reports. he strongly
minated that "Barkls is willin'.' He
said that it had long been his ambi-
ton to serve a term at Washington
and he believed that conditions are
propritlous for Republin success in this
State At the coming election. Mr..
Harrington is a man Of ability and
honor, and has won an enviable posi-
ton in his profession. 1t is doubtful if
his party could nominate a stronger
man for Congressman.
Mr.. Bartlett, on the other hand, is
an enthusiastic Democrat, though, as
he said. without political aspirations,
which we took with a reasonable
amount Of salt. During a great dis
cussion Of State politics, he made the
Interesting statement that during a re-
Cent trip TO the western part of the
State he talked with prominent men Of
III all parties, and failed to find one who
believed that the Silver party would be

paign. Everything indicated, he, said
that the voters would be divided on the
