FErzHuGH CANDIDATE
 TO SUCCEED MELLEN
Has Had Plenty of RaiIroading and is Being Considered by New Haven Directors.

Among the railroad men being con- sidered by the directors of the New Haven road for presidency of the read to replace President Mellen, is Earl H. Fitzhugh. now of New London, and until recently, vice president of the Grand Trunk and president of the Central Vermot and other railroads. After working several years as a bank clerk, he began railroading in 1879 as a clerk in the car service department of the St. Louis. Kansas City and Northern Railway. By successive position until when the Central Yer mont Railway Co. was organized in April, 1899, he was elected vice presi- dent and general manager of that company. After various changes in July, 1911, he was elected president of the Central Vermont Railway Go, and on Oct. 1 was relieved of his duties as vice president of the Grand Trunk to devote his entire time to the Central Vermont and the New England ex- tension and was elected president of the Southern New England Railroad corpora tion of Massachusetts for which companies he obtained the nee essary legislation and organized them.
 In January, 1913, he resigned the presidency of the Central Vermont Southern New England railway and Southern New England Railroad cor poration and from the board of direc- tors of the Grand Trunk Pacific, the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee company, and other subsidiary com panies west of the Detroit and St Clair rivers and in Canada, not being in accord with the policy of the new management of the Grand Trunk Co of Canada in regard to the New Eng land extensions
 Mir. Fitzhugh has not only had a valuable business experience, but has also had wide railway experience.
 He had charge of every department of a large and successful railway com pany and had much to do with the reorganization of the operating de- partments of the Grand Trunk rail- way systems.

NEW LoNDoN's OCEAN PIERS.
Frank V. ChappeIl is Waiting for Re-

The failure to receive a reply from the directors of the Central Vermont railway to the counter proposition submitted by the subcommittee oi the New London harbor commission relative to the proposed location ot the ocean terminal in East New Lon don is the reason for the delay in calling a meeting of the commission. Frank V. Chappell has been daily anticipating an answer, but has received none as yet. Wednesday morning he forwarded a lengthy tele- gram to Vice President G. C. Jones of the Grand Trunk, in which he request cd as speedy 8 response as possible to the proposal submitted by the sub committee.
 The members of the commission are desirous of getting to work on the piers as quickly as may be, and the acceptance of the proposition made by the sub committee would mean an immediate beginning of op- erations. It is understood that the directors of the New London North orn company, the owner of the prop crty, are favorable to the commissions desires

Many Cases Of
Rabies Among Cats

Analysis made at the laboratory
of the State Board Of Health, here,
on Saturday, Of the head of a cat
that had bitten several children at
FELTON,. showed that the animal was
in the last stage of rabies when it
attacked the children. The cat was
owned by Mr.. Dill and the latter 5
son and the children of several
neighbors were bitten.
During the present year more
eases Of cats having rabies in Della
ware have been reported than in
all the previous years that tests
have been made at the Stat Labora-
tory. DR.. Watson, in charge of the
laboratory, is unable to explain
this outbreak among cats. Six Or
seven tests have positively shown
that the animals were suffering
with rabies when they died o. were
killed. About fifteen persons bit
ten or scratched by cats have taken
the Pasteur treatment given by the
State Board of Health.
