Mention was made recently that the New
York, New Haven & Hartford road hat
arranged with the Lehigh Valley to estab-
FISH a new export line, via Boston. One %
the officials of the former road said that
this traffic arrangement with the Lehigh
Valley, by which freight from the West
may be shifted by the consolidated roads
to New York. and thence sent TO Boston for
exporting, is the inauguration of "A care
fully laid series of plans To regain for the
New Haven road much of the freight BUSH
1csS that 1t mas lost lately. The arrange
ment will apply to other Western lines be-
sides the Lehigh Valley. The Importance
o. the movement is evident from the fact
that, even with present facilities, the New
Haven road can take from its Western
allies consignments of grain, or any perish
able commodity, carry them around New
York by boat. shift again TO railroad,
Changing again at Boston to the freight
steamship for export, and then make a

do that, and can lower the rate, Western
roads will cooperate to a great degree 10
furnishing business, and a freigh trafic
may be Quilt up on this system that will
Ultimately make it one of the best distribu-
tors in the East. With the New England
read the Consolidated acquired a fine Bos-
ton terminal, which in itself made the
opportunity one not To be missed. Pres

problem for more than a year, and this
agreement with the Lehigh Valley has
opened up the whole situation. An interest

this situation.

The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed a
Judgment sustaining the will of Hiram II.
Bradley, which left the greater part of
his $4,000 estate to the Frankfort Com
mandery. Knights of Pythias. and to the
city of Frankfort. Bradley died in 1895 and
his widow took possession of the property,
being his sole heir. Four years later and
after she had remarked a will was dis
covered, which left her but a small por-
ton of the estate. She said the will was
forged and resisted its probate. The jury
decided that the instrument was Bradley's
will. Another question involved was a
bequest of $f.O0c to his brother. who was
designated as Brother John" Upon proof
That Hiram Bradley called his brother
John the Supreme Court held that the
bequest should stand.

officer of the Board of Children's Guard
