Suit Within A. Q. U. ".

Probably no more general interest Twill be taken in any suit returned for Fthis term to the superior court than in that of the grand lodge of Connecticut, "A. o. U. w., against the Massachusetts Igrand lodge of the same order. Prop |erty of the latter to the amount of $s5,- 1000 is attached to insure the plaintiff in the event of the courts upholding its claims.
 The writ sets forth that the defend- tant grand lodge was first organized and had Jurisdiction over the A..O U. w.. members in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
 Subsequently the Connecticut grand lodge was incorporated to take charge of the Connecticut members of the or- der. The two grand lodges entered into contract respecting the manage ment of the local territory. Now 1t is claimed that the Massachusetts people have retained the funds, one of $11, ,76S and one of $4,771.6S, to which they have no right by the contract The effort is to obtain possession of these two funds. Williams & Hartman bring the suit, and Judge Zacher represents the de- fendant.

LEASE NOT 10 FOLLOW
 MERCER FOR PRESENT Position of Minority Stock holders in Boston and
 Maine. YET LARGER DIVIDEND New York Central Cannot Take Ontario and
 Western.
EFT LARGER DIVIDEND

In regard to the question of the com- ing merger of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company with the Boston and Maine, the sub ject has arisen as to the position of minority holders of Boston and Maine stock, who do not immediately enter the consolidation. While on this point rail- road officials here have been reticent, there is authority for stating that the merger will not take immediately the form of lease. the New York, New Haven and Hartford interests taking the form of stockholdings to the mi nority holders of the Boston and Maine and relying upon the 8 per cent. divi- dends of the larger company as an inducemnt for the exchange of stock, as compared with the per cent divi- dends of the Boston and Maine.
 As regards the question of the taking of the Ontario, and Western by the New York Central as a consideration in the Boston and Maine deal high railroad official here can be quoted as saying that the New York Central, on finan- cial grounds, and in view of it's already extensive outlays for improvements, is not likely to avail itself of opportuni- ties in the Ontario and Western direc- tion, which would involve an expendi- ture of probably not less than s13,- O0O,OOO or $14,OOO,O0O.
 The device of consolidating the troll ley holding company of Connecticut and the New England Navigation com pany, by which sSo,OOO,OOo of free stock is put in the New Haven road treasury, will avoid any negotiations of new securities for the purpose of carry ing out the Boston and Maine deal, and also technically avoid any. increase of stock About $1O,QOO,OOO of this new stock is about all that will De needed for early use, and the whole of itrwill not be needed in the final consumma- tion of the merger. r
