NEW EXTENSIONS
Interests Of the New Haven Corporation
Involved in the Latest Contemplated
Deal--New Haven in Direct
Control Of B. & M.

New Haven. Ct Oct. 9.--President
Hartford railroad company, makes an
official denial Of the report that he has
acquired a personal interest in the out
side steamboat line between Boston and
New York in which G. w. Morse is
understood to have a large investment.
President Mellen has previously denied
any direct or indirect interest in the line
on the part OF his company.
In New York, New Haven 4 Hartford
railroad circles here, it is admitted that
the Grand Trunk railway company has
secured an option on the Providence &
Danielson line, probably with the view
Of connecting the New London & North
ein and the Vermont Central system
with its main line through Canada.
Under the general railroad law of

cerned, the Grand Trunk, in the absence
Of new legislation, viii be able TO make
such connections under the powers Of an
existing company, which would not be
the case II corporation were not ex-
istent.
Additional Legislation to carry out
the plan would be required in Rhode
Island
In connection with the intention Of
the Grand Trunk to make this Proyi-
dence connection the fact il recalled that
last winter the New York. New Haven
& Hartford railroad by a new traffic
agreement with the Canadian Pacific, se-
cured considerable traffic from the trunk
lines, the Grand Trunk itself being to
a certain extent a sufferer. Following
this traffic agreement, the Grand Trunk
gave notice Of the termination Of the
arrangement, by which it made connec.
tions win New london with New York

by the New Haven company. The con
tract was terminated On the first 81
July aud boats built BY the Grand Trunk
were substituted upon the boat line, the
Grand Trunk thus securing d through

This has been regarded as the first
step in the Grand Trunk extension in
southern New England. Of which the
Providence and Danielson plan is sec
ond, ard Is probably intended to streng-
