There has been considera BILE doing along
the Hudson River railroad of late, in the
way of changing names of stations The
most notable change was the one from
Sing Sing to OSsining- and 1t is eStl-
mated that from 10 to % passengers are
carried by the station now every day.
The station so well known as Low Point
is still remembered by scores of pass
eugers as Low Point. It was named
Carthage Landing, but the public simply
would not have it. and now the company
has changed again. and the place is called
Chelsea The station on the West Shore
road 50 long known as Cranstons, IS now
known as Highland Falls, and passengers
are frequently carried by it on that ac-
count Some one has noted that
when the company changes the name OF
E station it at once proceeds to make i'm
provements in the place If this be the
invaria bic rule. what is the matter with
changing the name Of the Poughkeeps1e
station to any name under the sun, pro-
vided it will result in new station
