Railroad RumOrS.

According to the Boston News Bureau
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad will soon absorb the Boston &
Maine. The Vanderbilt interests, who
were supposed to have the control of
this road, will give it up to the Connect
cut corporation and receive in exchange
the Ontario & Western, a line recently
acquired by President Mellen which taps
the coal fields of Pennsylvania. All this
has been denied, but it furnishes interest
ing reading and opens up lot of posi-
bilities in railroad consolidation.
Another rumor, which we have not
seen in print, is that the Boston &
Maine are after the Central Vermont.
We hope for the sake of the west side of

unwillingness of the railroad employees

results in many cases in inaccuracies and
distortion of the facts, all CT which are
