consequence of the agreement of The
Grand Trunk with the Dominion govern

cessation of work on the Palmer to

1t is even believed by some congress-
men that the Grand Trunk never in
tended to complete the proposed line but
began the work to coerce the New Haven
into making a traffic agreement. Muen
interest has been aroused by the sugges-

STEEL CAR TRAINS
FOR THE NEW HAVEN
A Contract for Best Modern Equipment

Trains Between Boston and

Boston, Dec. lS.--lt is probable that
before long all-steeh parlor and sleeping
cars will replace the present one on the
New England lines, the New Haven sys-
TEN. This is especially interesting news
in view of the present large number of
wrecks and the agitation which is be-
ing waged in favor of freproof cars.
The New Haven has under considera-
tion contract with the Pullman com
pany under which the latter company
will furnish and operate the entire
sleeping and parlor car service upon
the formers lines. If the plan is carried
out, the present equipment will be with
drawn within a short time and there
will be substituted an all-steel equip
ment of the latest and best construc-
tion and finish.
The plan involves about $50 cars. The
idea is for the Pullman company to
take over the New Ravens present cars
on appraisment. II tho deal is adopted
the Pullman company will secure entry
