MOM.“ '
A New Haven special to the New
York lllvening Post says: The proxies
issued for the annual election of di-
rectors of the New Haven Railroad
Company to he held October 18, are be-
ing returned in the usual number and
blank form. indicating almost conclu-
sively that the old board of directors
with possibly one or two additions,
will be re-elscted. and that there will
he no contest, so far as the stock-
holders are concerned, over the elec-
tion of a successor of President Clark.
The matter will rest, therefore. entire-
ly with the board of directors. They
will hold their regular monthly meet-
ing on Saturday of next week. and it
has been reported that they will choose
a new president then. A choice at
that time, however, is not likely. and it
will probably be made by the directors
after the annual meeting.
The charter of the New Haven flail-
road Company provides for not more
than twenty-one nor fewer than thir-
teen directors; “a majority of whom
must be citizens residing In this state."
The president must be chosen from the
board of directors. At present there
are nineteen directors. of whom ten
live in Connecticut. live in New iork
city, three in Massachusetts, an one
in Rhode island. if an outside p
dent is to be chosen as Preai out
Clark's successor. it is evident. t
fore. that in some way at least two d-
dltions must be made in the boar or
directors to accord with the provision
of the charter. which provides fol
Connecticut control.
This matter oi preserving control by
a Connecticut ooard and a Connecticut
president has aroused considerable
feeling in the state. and has been ad-
vocated vigorously by several newspa-
pers. Vice President John M. Hall is
the cndidate on whom the local senv
timent naturally centers, and the im-
pression prevails here that he will be
chosen. tempered, somewhat, by some
doubts as to the attitude of .i. Pierpont
Morgan and the Vanderbilt interests in
the matter. and their influence. ii op-
posed to Hall. on some of the connec-
tlcut directors. The latter, if they
hold together. can elect the president:
but at least one oi them has been op-
posed to the policy of President Clark.
and is assumed to be opposed to Judge
Hall also, who is President Clarke
candidate.
Many minors are afloat here as to
candidates of the Morgan and Vander-
bilt interests. one of the latest bringing a
in the name of President Baldwin. of
the Long island Railroad Company.
High officers of the company here pro-
fess absolute ignorance of the matter.
bllt there has come, in effect from a
director of the company. a forecast oi
a conflict in the board over the presi-
dency. “

it was noticed that bcr‘pet kittens.

muddy. was dragged. but no new dis-
covery resulted. ,
Mrs. Brewer was last seen by the
housekeeper at the Brewer residence.

the house in her night robes. but as
Mrs. Brewer had gone away in much
the same manner one time before, and
as the former was ill. she did not noti-

the next morning. it is now believed
that there was foul play. and that Mrs.
Brewer has either been injured or met
an untimely end.

Grand COl'ltl'Sl
in view of the local aspects of the.
matter. the distribution of New Haven l
shares is of interest. it was statedl
ofllclally about a year ago that of the]
350437.000 of stock men outstanding!
816,317,900 was held by 3,345 holders in i
Massachusetts, 812,363,000 by 2,624 hon- l
dcrs in Connecticut. “7.257.700 by 1,,
455 holders in New York state—mostly l
in New York city~—82.393,400 by 4329;
holders in Rhode Island, and $2,110,-
000 by 646 holders in other states.
Since the statement was made some“
i3.000 shares of New Haven treasuryl
stock have been marketed in Boston;
a part of which. it is understood. was.
transferred to New York city purchns- l
ers. Recent drift of the shares has.
been steadily. though slowly. to New]
York. but a large majority still re-?
mains outside that city. and it is stat- .
ed authoritatively that twenty-live of‘
the largest share-holders of the'com-l
pony own less than one-eleventh of the;
546,414 shares now outstanding. .
The complications over the Boston;
and Albany lease and possible failure.
to ratify it are regarded here as tend- ‘
ing strongly in the direction of New;
York Central plans for New Haven;
control. and as hearing. ‘thcrefore. on!

ONLY ONE TOWN CHANGES.
Bethel Flops from the License is the No-
_Licease Column. .
So far as the County Commissioners 5
have been able to ascertain. there was I
no change in til/e license vote in Fair-'
lleld county at the town elections Mon-
day iast. except in Bethei. ,.Danbury'sl
nearest neighbor went no license by 1
about seventy-live majority. thus chan- l
ging the conditions that existed last
year. There were three liquor licenses, .
one hotel. and two drugglsts' issued in I
liethel last year. the revenue derived!
by the town treasury amounting to 81,- l
486.75.
The coming year Bethcl will lose this
money. and the changes are that. be-
ing contiguous to wicked Danbury.
there will be just as much liquor drunk
in that town as ever.

Brigham 11. Roberts, the Mormon

from the house of representatives be-
cause he practices polygamy. is a glt'fll
church leader, a missionary. a presi-

many others of his kind. he was drawn
into the whirl of a fight in the church

candidate for congress. and in that
campaign he stood out against several
of the powerful priests of the church.
At a later time. however, he repented
and was once more fallen back to the
