FIVE PER CENT. INVESTMENT
 FOR NEW HAVEN co.
Deal by Which Plant interests Take l Control of Eastern Connecticut Troi- l feys.

The provisions of the lease of the trolley roads in eastern Connecticut to the Plant interests have not been ab- solutely determined, says a New Haven despatch. It Is understood, however, that the negotiations have been based upon an annual payment of about $250,000 representing about 5. per cent. on s5,000,O00, the original cost of the eastern Connecticut lines. including also interest upon underlying bonds assumed by the New Haven and inter est upon cost of improvements.
 The proposed lease Is for 99 years, with an option to the Plant interests of purchasing at the end of ten years, the Connecticut company to make nec- essary improvements and charging in terest upon them. In this shape the transaction will be come practically an investment of the New Haven company on which it would get about per cent return.
 The operating and other control of the lines leased will be with the Plant interest, which will 2have its own set of officers. AS MT. Plant is a member of the New Haven board of directors, it Is presumed that the relations of the lines leased, about four f1fths of which parallel the steam lines, will be har- monious with the New Haven policy.
 The total system to be transferred to the Plant system is about 108 miles, The Plant system already in- cludes about 120 miles, making the to- tai under the Plant control not less than 223 miles and giving to the Plant control practically the whole trolley business in eastern Connecticut, a very large part of it paralleling the New Haven steam lines.
 The Plant system of lines, which now takes in the whole trolley system of the Connecticut company in east. ern Connecticut, includes already the Shore Line from New Haven to Say brook, and exending northward to towns on the Connecthicut river; the New London and East Lyme street railway, from New London to Mantle, which is to be extended westward to the Connecticut river. and the Groton and Stonington and Norwich and Westerly lines, the two latter under Plant control; the total representing 119 miles of trolley tracks.
 It is understood in New Haven that the lease of the trolley lines of east ern Connecticut to the Plant interests by the Connecticut company will date from the first of next month. The actual transfer of the properties will come a few weeks later, after the de- tails of the lease have been fully worked out. It is stated that no changes of importance are to be made in the operating force of the leased lines Should the Plant interests at the end of ten years exercise their option of purchase, the price will in- clude the Improvements made during that period by the Connecticut com pany.

They little thought then in Norwich what place he was destined to occupy in the history Of his country. Among those living who heard his address are Gen. Edward Harland, who distinctly re- members it, also Deacon l.. A. Hyde and his brother, Deacon George F. Hyde.
 The same paper notes when in 1860 Lincoln addressed the citizens of New Haven in the Lincoln Douglas debates, the power of the speech h found in the fact that Prof. Larned. teacher of rhetoric at Yale WAS so impressed by it that he followed Lincoln to Nor wioGh and heard the speech repeated here the next night. and then return inr aectured to his class on the Logic and Rhetoric of Abraham Lincoin's Address.
