OF the Second National, Succeeding
the Late Carlos Freneh-what He SAYS
Concerning His Policy and the Best
Interests of the Big Railroad System.
President Charles Sanger Mellen, of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad, arrived in this city on the

11:SO yesterday forenoon. He was ac-
companied by Mrs. MeIlen. -.
Mr.. Mellen at once entered the presi-
cents office, where he was met by ex-
President Hall, with whom he ex-
changed greetings. Subsequently Sec
end Vice-President Todd and Third
Vice-President Barnett called upon him
and then others of the leading officials
of the system.
One of Mr.. Mellen's first callers was
President Samuel. Hemingway, of the
Second National bank in this city, who
bore him news of his unanimous cleo
ton by the directors of the bank Mon
day to the directorate of that institu-
ton. Mr.. Mellen has accepted this
election and thus becomes identified, at
the outset of his renewed career in this
city, with one of its leading financial
organizations. This election is also a
matter upon which the bank may be
congratulated. The Second National
has for years been known among tinan-
cial men as an Institution whose direc-
tors were, to quite an extent, made UP
from the conservative directorate of
the Consolidated railroad. John NJ.
Hall and Arthur D. Osborne, who are
directors, are also directors of the road
Mr.. Mellen is elected a director in the
place of the late Carlos French, of Sey-
mour, who was also director of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad.
Mr.. Mellen's attention was largely &C.
cupied with matters of routine yester-
day. With Mrs. Mel1en he is stopping
at the New Haven house.
