MUCH RAILROAD GOSSIP
 AFFECTING NEW LONDON
Big Fight in Rhode Island Legislature on Grand Trunk Southern Terminal Tunnel for New Haven Road.


 If the prediction made by a, Provi- dence correspondent of the Boston Herald come true, New London will be happier because there will be a better chance of the Grand Trunk road developing the southern terminus at New London of the Central Vermont railway which the Grand Trunk holds under lease. The correspondent writes:
 "A battle royal may be expected at the January session of the legislature. The bone of contention will be a bill permitting the Grand Trunk railroad of Canada to enter this state and have a terminus in this city. The effort was made last year to revive the charter of the Western Rhode Island Railroad company. This was in the interest of the Grand Trunk, but the bill was not permitted to come out of the commit tee room. The plan now is to utilize the charter and tracks of the Provi- dence & Danielson railway, which Is trolley road. How the Grand Trunk company can get into this city is a conundrun. The Rhode Island com- pany, having an exclusive franchise here, and owned by the New York, New Haven & Hartford, operates the Providence & Danielson cars within the city limits on a percentage basis. That it will quietly submit to legisla- ton which will enable a rival com pany to buck it's western freight busi- ness is not at all probable. And yet the Providence board of trade. week took action favorable to the Grand Trunk. The organization is looking for competition which will re- duce freight charges to the manufac- turers and merchants. This means that the business interests of Provi- dence will be lined up against pro- fessional lobbyists as soon as the gen. earl assembly is convened next month and that a big scrap is coming for sure"
 At the same time, the talk is going around in New London that the New Haven road is to come into that city from the west by means of tunnel, which shall begin beyond Ocean ave- nue and approach the Thames river bridge in a straight line, almost. Those who talk of the matter are sure that the new course has been decided upon by the railroad company and that 1t will not be long before steps are taken that will convince the public of the plans contemplated.
 It is a fixed thing that the new bridge is to be f35 feet north of the center of the present structure. At the last session of the legislature bill was passed. so that the railroad does not have to plank down the money when it condemns land or property be- fore the land or roperty can be entered upon and used for railroad purposes. This leads to the belief that the rail- 1 ,ad purposes to have property con- demned and that the condemnation will be considerable. The cost for con- | demnation. if the tunnel is resorted to- will be very small compared with the price that would haev to be paid if a surface route was followed.
 Be the plans as they may, there are those who claim that there will be something doing in the very near fu- | ture and that the railroad managers are getting erady for it without de- | lay.

WITNESS FELL DOWN STAIRS
Mrs A. J. S. Fish May Not be Able Attend Court this Mornins-In Fish Appeal from Probate Many Wit nesses Indicate Long Trial-Judge Directed Yer dict in Suit Against United Workmen.

The Fish appeal from probate was the matter which occupied the atten- tion of the superior court here We'd nesday after the suit of Fetherson vs. the Grand Lodge. A. O. U. w., Of Massachusetts and Connecticut, was finished, the judge having directed the jury to bring in 8 verdict for the de- fendant. which they did.
 The witnesses and attorneys were on hand for the immediate start in the matter of the appeal and a jury was selected. The case promises to be a long one. the court room being filled with the many witnesses, there being a number of women and several cler- gymen in attendance.
 This is an appeal of w. s. and $. Warren Fish of Groton and five oth- CTS from the probattng of the Will of Hannah E. Grumley. late of Grot- on. The first two are brothers of the deceased and the others grandchil- dren., By the will which is dated No- vember 5, 1905, Mrs. H. A. Sherman is named as executrix and qualified on May IS, 1909, after Mrs. Grumley's death. By the will her husband is given the use of all her estate, amounting to s11 ,000, and house. It is alleged in the appeal that the will was not subscribed by the deceased
  ses and not executed according to law. It is claimed that Mrs. Grumley was not of sound mind and memory, inca pacitated by her age and the use of drugs and that Dr. and Mrs. sherman got control of her affairs and actions, they being her advisers and that she was subject to the influence of others.
 Five witnesses were called during the day, although the last did not complete her testimony. There are four lawyers and much of interest in the case.
 The first witness called was Judge A. P. Anderson of the Groton pro bate district, who testified to admit ting the will to probate. John s. Edgcomb and Frank Smith were called and testified that they testified to see ing Mrs Grumley sign the will. They considered her of sound mind. Clyde J. Batty was examined and the last witness for the day was Mrs. Amanda J. Smith Fish. She had helped care for Mrs. Grumley and knew her con- dition. She testified that she talked with her before the Shermans came there and Mrs. Grumley was undecid- ed about taking them. Mrs. Fish ad- vised her that it was "easier to keep

SOLUTION OF PROBLEM
 OF ABANDONED FARMS.
Re-estabIishment of the Sheep Crow ing Industry Will Make Them Pay.


 With sheep raising as the topic of the day. it being declared that Con- necticut and New England as whole offered many opportunities for the business, the midwinter meeting of the Connecticut board of agriculture was resumed at Harmonic hall, New Haven. Wednesday. Prof. R. l.. Crib ben of the Massachusetts Agricultural college. C. C. Jones of Vermont and F. H. Stadtmueller of Greenfield, Mass. were the morning speakers, and all sounded an appeal for the re-es- tablishment of the sheep growing in- dustry in Connecticut.
 MT. Jones. who took the place of the Hon. Frank Garrett of Greenfield, Mass, who was unable to appear, de- clared that the problem of our many abandoned farms might best be solved in many cases by placing sheep upon them.
 New England is a. natural grazing country he declared. land hundreds of abandoned farms on all sides may be turned into well paying sheep farms. There is no good reason for our many abandoned farms. Farming is profitable if the farmer keeps abreast with the times. The trouble IS that our ancestors have sent the bright boys to the city and kept the
 
 acted on a policy of keeping the boy on the farm who isn't good for any thing else, but the boy who isn't good for anything else isn't any good as farmer. The farm boys who have gone to the cities may have made more money. but God knows they would have prospered well and been a great deal happier if they had stuck to the country"
 Professor Gribben. in his address, traced the sheep raising from it's in- fancy, showing how it was once great industry in Connecticut and pointing out how it might be re-es- tablished.
 After a noon recess, corn raising was taken up. Prof. J. A. Ford of Am herst and Col. J. B. Walker of Hop kinsville, Ky. being the speakers.
 In the evening the opportunity for alfalfa growing in Connecticut was the topic of discussion, and Colonel Walker spoke again, also Col. Charles M Jarvis of Berlin, the evenings ses- sion concluded with an address in dali rying in Europe vs. America by Wilson H. Lee.
