from becoming hardened criminals by
association with such. He said that

HOW NEW HAVEN ROAD GROWS.
Comparison of its Work In 1865 with
That of 1902.
Looking over an old railway direc-
tory. year 1865. it is interesting to unto
the changes in railway development
which have taken place in tiiirtycscwn
years.
At that time there were in the l'nit-
ed States 250 railroads, with a total
milcnge of 33.000 miles. or an uvcrugc
of 132 miles per roud.
Commencing with the cast—-thcrc
were in 1805 over scvcnty railroads
running cast from New York in thc
New England states. from 25 to (it)
miles each in length. which in 1902 are
mostly all included in the two grcat
systems of lhe New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad. and thc lioston
and Maine railroad. whlcn practically
dominate the tracks of the New Eng-
land states.
in 1865 the Boston & Muinc railroad
had a total mileage of 70% miles, with
33 locomotives. 53 passenger cars. and
598 freight and baggage curs. Today
this road has a mileage of 2.263 miles.
with 915 locomotives. 1.408 passenger
cars. and H.989 freight cars.
The old New York & New Haven
railroad ran from New York to New
Haven. with 20 locomotives. 74 position-
ger cars and 356 freight and baggage
cars. The New Haven & Hartford
railroad had 24 locomotives. 33 passen‘
gcr cars and 390 freight and baggage
cars. .
Today the New York. New Haven (1':
Hartford railroad operates 2.038 miles
of railway. has 942 locomotives, 1.862
passenger cars and 13.535 freight cars.
It has taken in all the lines In South-
ern New England which in 18135 were
independent roads. with the steamer
lines from New York to New Haven
and Fall River. and controls practical-
ly the transportation .of the New Eng»
land states.
STOCKHOLDERS WANT MORE.
Already. They Have Been Receiving
' Twenty Per Cont.
The minority stockholders of the
Stamford Manufacturing Company are
dissatisfied because they have been re»
ceiving only twenty per cent. dividends
per year for the past three or four
years. while for the ten years prior
thereto they received 79 per cent. and
they company Iaid up a big surplus he;
sides. .
The case has been brought into
court under the name of Samuel K.
Satterlee and others against the com»
pany and after sleeping there with
more or less quietness for two years
has at last come to a hearing. Yester
day afternoon it came up before Judge
William 8. Case in the civil superior
court. .
The minority stockholders own about
2.000 shares. while the majority vote
on a little over 6.000. The shares are
sold for a par value of :25. but they
are worth almost as much in propor-
tion as Standard Oil stock.
The? company is an old one. it was
organized to make dye stuffs way back
in 1824. It is about the most important
concern of its kind in the country and
few exceed it in the world. its capl-
tni stocks is 8200 000. It has at times
paid dividends of 125 per ccnt.»~—did lt .
right along. too-and has rarely paid
less than 20 per cent. ~ Between the
years 1880 and 1899 while paying those
big dividends it also accumulated a
surplus of 8921.900. ‘ ‘
