MeIlen offered Half the Capital Stock
OF Company by @. w.
Morse.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Charles W.
Morse, when he was bucking the New
Haven railroad in the Sound steam

len one-half the capital stock Of the
Metropolitan Steamship Co. which
Morse proposed TO reorganize. if the
New Haven would abandon it's Boston

with the Metropolitan in the New Eng

This was testified by Mellen the first

The New Haven steamship warfare
on Charles w. Morse after Theodore
