The Proposed Parallel.
The new Boston Syndicate proposing
the construction of a through railroad line
from Boston to New York, to be substan-
tially parallel to the Consolidated from
New Haven down, have issued a prospec-
tus of the scheme from which we clip the
following synopsis:
Its name is to be The Boston and New
York Railroad, Rapid Transit. Distance.
less than 200 miles; time. 3 to 3 1-2lionrs:

To the Stockholders of the New Y ork A:
Boston Rapid Transit Company :—For
more than one year no circular or report
has been issued from the office of _l.lllS
company. It is due to you that we briefly
state what has been accomplished. The
work which the company was organized
to prosecute has been pushed on as rapidly
as possible. Not a month has passed
without important advance havrng been
made. The advice» of many men of the
largest experience has been, ‘fmakc haste
slowly.” Many of the best railroad enter—
prises in this country have proven disas-
irons to all interested because such advice
has not been heeded.
More than one year ago oerrs were re-
ceived from capitalists in this country and
in Europe, who were ready to supply the
money required to briilda direct hue of
railroad between Boston and New York.
At that time it was not known that this
company could construct a road into New
York city. It was supposed that when
we had built to Bronx River (the eastern
boundary of the city anti county of New
York), we should be compelled to enter
the city on the rails of some other corpor—
ation, as do the New York, New Haven d:
Hartford, and other railroads. This was
the only serious objection to our project.
It was feared that there was no corpora-
tion in New York that would be able to
supply terminal facilities for a great trunk
line.
An Important Discovery—In December
last, a number of civil engineers, railroad
builders, and attorneys connected with
this company, after long and careful in-
vestigatiou, discovered that, owing to the
peculiar position and legal status of our
corporation in the State of New York, it
could extend its' line into New York
County without asking special legislation
of the cityor state. This discovery proves
to be one of the most valuable that has
ever been made in the history of rail-
way enterprises. It has enabled us to
answer satisfactorily the great question:
“How will you get into New York City ?"
For two or three years no one, whose
knowledge of the project was sufficient to
entitle his opinion to respect, had disputed
the proposition that a railroad between
the two cities, that would decrease the
running time two hours, would be valuable
property. The only difficulty was in
securing adequate terminal facilities in
New York.
This discovery changed all the plans of-
the Rapid Transit Company. All negoti-
ations with capitalists were at once sus-
pended and all men and means at the
command of the company were used to
complete the work of securing a location
in New York City. After long and care—
ful examination of the various sites pro—
posed for a terminal station, it was unani-
inously agreed that the centre of travel and
the most desirable point in every respect
was at Fifty-ninth street, at the south-
west corner of Central Park, and that the
road should run in nearly a straightlirie
northerly to near High Bridge on the
Harlem River, crossing the river on a
bridge to be built at the same elevation,
and thence north-westerly on nearly a
straight line to the Bronx river, at the
point where the company had secured
a location, had purchased land, and begun
construction. The surveys were quietly
and thoroughly made, also a careful and
complete estimate of the cost of the right
of way. Scar-ccly a dozen men in America
knew what was being done. On the 24th
of May last the maps and profiles were
filed in the office of the County Register,
as required by law. The secret was then
out, and created a great sensation in rail-
road and business circles. The legislature,
which was then about to adjourn, imme-
diatcly enacted a law which will prevent
any other railroad company from securing
such avaluable franchise except by ob-
raining consent of the city.
Since last May nearly one hundred men,
including experienced railway managers
and builders, capitalists who prop0se to
invest moneyin this great project, railway
engineers and surveyors, also numerous
well—known lawyers, have been steadily
at work. The highest legal authorities in
the United States, such as were selected
by capitalists who propose to furnish
money to briild the road, have spent weeks
in examining the legal status, and are irri-
aniinous and positive in their opinion that
the right to build the road cannot be suc.
cessfully disputed. All the details of this
work, with the legal opinions, are now
complete. The road to be built is such as
public necessity demands, and only such
a road can solve the question of rapid
transrt. A road will be built from Bos-
ton to New York with no grade of more
than one per cent., no curves of more
than two degrees, no grade crossings,—a
road on which trains can run safely and
regularly at a speed of sixty miles per
hour. .
The New York & Boston Rapid Transit
Company owns all the stock of the several
railroad companies, in which are vested
the franchises and property forming the
continuous line from Boston to 59th street
in New York City. These properties, con-
sisting of franchises, surveys, rights of
way, lands, and grading, etc., cost over
$450,000. All {his has been paid for in cash.
The important and unlookcd for successes
of the company during the last twelve
months have compelled the expenditure
of a large amount of money. This fact
explains the unexpected calls upon the
holders of rights. It is believed that the
property owned by the Rapid Transit
Company has increased in value more
than four-fold by what has been accom-
plished during the year.
An honest endeavor has been made to
build a. direct line of railroad between
Boston and New York, without any stock
jobbing schemes attached. Speculation
in the stock of the company has been per-
sistently opposed and discountenanced by
the managers of the enterprise.~ During
the last year the stock has been sold
privately, at a premium ranging from $25
to $100 per share. The buyers have of
course been confined to the few who knew
what was being done.
The magnitude and value of the project
have become more generally known and
understood during the last six months.
The work of the last year has certainly
very largely increased the value of Rapid
Transtt shares. The location of the line
down to 59th street in New York city, and
to the Boston and Lowell station in Bos-
ton, as well as the important improvements
in the line through Connecticut, have
greatly entranced the value of the pro-
perty, and made the ultimate success of
the project no longer doubtful.
Boston and New York are the two great
commercial Cities of this country, and till-
til this project was inaugurated no attempt
rhad been made to buildarailroud between
itbe two cities. Capitalists realize that
rthe time has now arrived when the priblic
«demands that such a road be built.
This road will have no rival. There is
today .no direct railroad between New.
York and Boston. The roads by which
rail communication is now possible were
built as local reads. A line that is twenty
.or forty miles shorter than any other can-
not properly be termed a parallel line. A
lliinc that will carry passengers, mails and
rfreights two hours quicker than any other
.can possibly do, is riot a parallel line,
The distances between Boston and Hear
Work by the existing railway lines are: ‘
.m'o. Springfield, 2-36 miles fair; Providence,
234; via Willmautic and Middleiown, the
smealled air line, 214 miles. The numer-
ous grade crossings of highways and rail-
arrays, the drawbridgm and ferries, the
Cornelius V. '
heavy grades and sharp curves, make it
impracticable to run trains over any of
these lines from city to city in less than
six hours.
The route rid Springfield has 522 high-
way and S railway crossings at grade, and
6 draw-bridges.
The route via Providence & Shore Line
has 348 highway, 0 railroad grade cross-
ings, and 9 draw-bridges, in addition to
the detention at New London Ferry.
The New York A: New England, iria
Hartford, has 306 highway, ’7 railroad
grade crossings, and 6 diawbridges.
The direct line will have no crossings at
grade, and birt two’ draw-bridges. both
unimportant.
Great improvements in railroad con-
struction have been made within a few
years. Not only is it possible to build a
better road than any now operated, but it
can be constructed ready for business in
less than one half the time required a few
' years ago. The Rapid Transit Company
proposes to complete this direct line within
one year from the beginning of construc-
tion. Modern methods and modern
machinery have worked a revolution in
the building of railroads.
Men who are now interested in this cn-
terprise have recently completed the con-
struction of roads, where equally rapid
work has been accomplished. The busi-
ness is now awaiting the opening of such
a thoroughfare. There will be no waiting
“for the country to grow up.”
It is no secret that the men who have,
during the last few years, invested over
$450,000 in the work which the Rapid
Transit Company has now so nearly con-
summated expect to secure large profits
from the shares they hold. They putiii
their money from time to time, when
ninety-nine in one hundred of their ac-
quaintances echoed the sneers and ridi-
cnlc that rival interests so-indnstriously
circulated. -It is believed, aye, it is known,
that a railroad can be built for less than
$40,000,000, whichtlic best judges of such
property and of the carrying trade be-
tween thc two cities believe will earn
good interest on dorrble that sum.
The Rapid Transit Company is to build
the road, and take its pay in the bonds
and stocks of the completed railroad corn-
pany, which may be called the Boston &
New York Railroad. The bonds are to be
issued only on constructed road that has
been paid for in cash. None of the stock
will be sold or delivered until the road is
completed .
Since the unexpected and extraordinary
success of the Rapid Transit Company ip
securing an independent entrance into
New York became known, and the ar-
rangements were made for ii direct cou-
ncction with the great Bostom & Maine
system, a large number of prominent
capitalists and railroad magnates have
taken an active interest in the project.
Their names will soon be. given to the
public. Other railroads are also seeking
an nlliaiiec with the proposed direct line.
It is now certain that the Boston a: New
York Railroad will begin business under
auspices that will insure for it all that the
most sanguine of its early promoters auti-
cipaied. The enterprise has steadily
gained the public favor, and during the
last six months this gain has been rapid.
The extraordinary good fortune that
has attended this enterprise is a cause of
congratulation for all interested. All the
schemes of our opponents to hinder or
thwart us have failed. In Connecticut the
"consolidated monopoly" has been defeat-
ed in the Legislature and in the courts.
Had the work of construction been
commenced one year ago, the location for
a line into New York City could have been
secured, and it is probable that plans for
terminal facilities in Boston would have
been defeated. It is also probable that
the consolidated monopoly would have
secured some troublesome enactment from
the Connecticut Legislature last winter,
before that body adjourned for two years.
Because we have “made haste slowly,"
and worked so quietly, our opponents
have accepted the common report that the
project was dead. The Boston & Provi—
deuce Railroad has passed into the control
of a. corporation that will at least be
friendly to the Boston A: New York Rail.
road. The union of all the railroads
north and east of Boston will give it a
powerful ally. By making the main line
run into direct connection with the Boston
&Mainc Consolidation, all the business
from Maine, New Hampshire, and the
provinces will be turned upon the Boston
A: New York Railroad. Many important
facts relating to this and kindred matters
will soon be given to the public.
The last and perhaps the most impor-
tant work of the Rapid Transit Company
has just been completed by the able and
experienced corps of attorneys, who have
examined the legal status of the railroad
companies in Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New York whose stock is owned by
the Rapid Transit Company. They show
that we have a legal right to build a road
frow Boston to 59th street in New York. '
Their work has been examined and irri-
qualifiedly endorsed by the highest legal
authorities in America. The result of
their labors, as well as that of the engr-
necrs, can be seen at the offices of the
company.
This circular 15 issued to answer the
numerous letters of inquiry and personal
applications for information in regard to
the status of our enterprise, that come to
the offices of the company in Boston and
New York. .
This project increases in magnitude and
importance as the momlrs go by. because
of the enormous and marvelous increase
of business in and between the two great
and rapidly growing cities. The lines
that a few years ago were sufficient are
now unable to furnish transportation for
the passengers and freight that crowd
upon them.
The Rapid Transit Company is now
ready to begin the construction of the
Boston 85 New York Railroad. The
specifications by which the contracts are
to be made call fora belt-er railroad than
has yet been built in this country. It is
to be a double-track road. graded for a
third track. All bridges to be of stone
and brick, except where they must be of
iron. A solid road-bed, with 19 inches of
stone ballast. No curves of more than
two degrees, which for purposes of rapid
transit is a straight road. No crossings at
grade of highways or railroads. Steel
rails 25 percent. heavier than now used
on the best railroads in this country, with
ties proportionally large. The road to be
equipped with the best locomotives and
rolling stock that modern inventors and
manufacturers can supply. Such a road
will be safer than any in America, and
trains can be I‘ll!) with regularity at a
speed of sixty miles perhour.
Those who desire to secure contracts
for construction, bridge Dlllldl' g, building
depots, shops, etc., may address D. C.
Linsley, Managing. Director, 146, Broad-
way, New York.
Maps of the line surveyed and located,
.with firll details of the work that has been
done, can be found at the offices of the
company in Boston and New York. For
further particulars, call on or. address WM.
M. TIIAYER, Secretary, 8, Congress street.
Boston, Mass.
So here is a contemplated road to be
built in the best possible manner, with no
grade crossings and no call on the towns
for a dollar of help to run its tracks above
or below highways, and which proposes
to furnish a depot within our borough
limits. Its line through upper Norwalk is
substantially the “Olmstead Survey.”
Whether Prospect Hill is to be tunnellcd or
adecp crit made is not yet determined,
brit it will probably be tunnellcd.

A Perfeet Day, An Imposing Parade,
Grand Martial Music, Impressive Care'-
monies, Thrilling and Eloquent
Speeches—A Memorable Event.
The day dawned bright and clear after
the stormy and forbidding weather of
Monday, but crisp and cold, with a slight
suggestion of» blaster, sufficient to ensure
a day free from mud, and a day on_wlrich
the parading mnltitrrde corrld march with
comfort and freedom from any of the dis-
agreeable effects that would attend a.
warmer day. There was no sign of un-
usual activity or excitement in the early
hours to suggest the fact that N orwalk had
awakened on a day that was to be memor-
able iri her history. Occasionally a com-
mittec man or a cluster of them went
briskly from one banqueting hall to the
other, and to and from the Armory, where
the decorating committee was at work
' under the personal supervision of Major
halls-the
Crowc. At the banqueting
Grand Army Post Room aml Lockwood’s
Hall—the immense tables were being ar-
ranged by the expert and willing hands of
the ladies’ committees, in preparation for
the feast to be spread for the veterans,
distinguished guests, and invited specta-
tors who would assemble from far and
near to participate in the ceremonies of
installing our beloved and honored Rev.
Colonel Edward Anderson in the office of
ChaplainJii-Chicf of the Grand Army of
the United States.
There was no general attempt at decorat-
ing the town, although flags and hunt-
iug fluttered and streamed from various
public and business houses and private
residences.
Soon after noon the aspect of things
underwent a change. Grand Army men
in uniform increased in numbers on the
streets, and the gallant boys of the state
militia in gaudy array flitted hither and
you, bound, in the main, for the Armory,
whence they were to start for South Nor.
walk depot where the parade column was
to form.
As the tinrc approached for the parade
to arrive at the borough centre the streets
rapidly filled with expectant people, who
lined the sidewalks and occupied the
available windows overlooking the street
where unobstructed views of the line
could be obtained.
At South Norwalk the line was formed
on Railroad square, where a large cori-
course of people assemblcditojwitness the
pleasing sight. Some delay was occa-
sioned by the accident to a train from the
east which brought, besides Past Depart-
ment Commander-Cr'cary and staff, a large
number of other veterans. It was nearly
four o‘clockwhen the order was given to
move. The column was made up in the
following order:
Platoon of Police.
Marshal A. A. Chinery and aids.
Wheeler and Wilson band.
lompauy F50. N. G.

The line of march was according to the
plan laid out by the committee as follows ;
From Railroad place, South Norwalk,
through West Avenue, Wall street and
East avenue to residence of Rev. Edward
Anderson ; countermarc'n through East
avenue, Wall street, Mott avenue and
Franklin avenue to the Armory.
The marching column presented ahand-
some sight. the blue ovcrcoats with red-
lincd capes and glistening bayonels of the
military companies giving the head of
the column a formidable yet pleasing and
even fascinating appearance, which was
heightened by the inspiring strains of
martial music from that grand old body
of thorough musicians. the Wheeler 6:.
Wilson Band, whose swelling harmony
thrilled the thousands of spectators with
loyalty and patriotism. The battle-scarred
veterans made a handsome showing as they
marched with firm and vigorous tread, com-
i‘adc wrth comrade, shoulder to‘slrouldcr,
just as they did in the trying times of '62,
and the admiring bclrolders, especially of
the younger generation, could not but ex-
perience a thrill of inspiration at sight of
the old heroes, andfthe realization of the
hardships they endured for their country’s
sake, which their appearance rnrist have
brought fresh to mind.
The lieu of the hour, Rev. Col. Ander-
son, irr whose honor this demonstration
was given, was the cynosure of all eyes
along the line. He appeared in the best
of spirits and smiled and bowed and
saluted a thousand times in recognition of
the courtcsies shown him on every hand.
His honors rest easy upon him, and Nor-
walk is prouder of him than ever.
Gov. Lounsbury (attracted, of course,
a considerable share of admiring attention
as did also the distinguished guests rcp-
resenting flie board of chief officers of the
G. A. R., and the Loyal Legion.
There were about a thousand men in
the line, which was a quarter of a mile
long. The three brass bands and four
drum corps made ample music
and all played well. The beauty of the
parade was affected somewhat by two or
three long and unsightly gaps, in the col-
rinin, which were improved (biit not to
the improvement of the line’s appearance)
by a string of blockaded {coal wagons,
(lump carts, etc.

Herc James L. Ambler for Buckingham
Post at once started the preliminaries to
the installation. Prayer was offered by
Riv. Mr, Delano, followed by the follow-
irig address of welcome by Warden Greg.»
ory :-‘
GEN'I‘I.ELIEN :—
It gives me great pleasure, as the
official representative of the Borough, to
welcome you to Nor-walk,
The distinction which has been given to
both our town and state in the election of
one of our citizens to the exalted position
of Grand Chaplain of the National En-
campment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public is one in which we rejoice with
him, and over which we congratulate the
distinguished body that made the choice.
Nor-walk is proud of her record in the
war, and hails with enthusiasm whatever
may give prominence to the principles for
which that war was fought. To-day she
is specially proud of the heroism and man.-
bond that won for her adopted son the
honorable bridge that you are new about,
to adjust. ’
To the soldiers and veteransdhe officers
and past officers of the department, to the
Posts of the Grand Army, to his Excel-
lency the chief magistrate of the state and
his staff. to friends and visitors all, I say
in behalf of Nor-walk, you are all thrice .
welcome.
State Department Commander Taintor i
then made a brief address, when Mayor
Bulkley, of Hartford, was called out to
install the chaplain and administer the
oath of office to him. He prefaced his
installation by a neat and patriotic speech,
giving an account of rho remarkable ,
unanimity ‘with which all the Grand Army 3
boys assembled at St. Louis had voted
for him. He was surprised that all the
soldiers of the great west knew our
Connecticut parson err-n better than we
did here at the east.
Rousing cheers for the parsou. and
music by the band followed. Then
calls were made for the chaplain, till Mr.
Anderson was forced to come out, and he
made one of his happirs', earnest and clo-
qucnt little speeches. He denounced the
silly lie in yesterday morning's Sun as too
preposterous for even denial. He said if he
did murder those six Confederate prison—
ers in cold blood, as stated in the Sim. he
also roasted and ate their bodies and
picked their bones.
Governor Lounsbury next addressed
the massed audience in a few earnest and
impressive words, calling out Rev. Dr.
Eddy. the first. chaplain appointed from
Connecticut. Chaplain Anderson’s brother
from Massachusetts was then called out. .
He said Ire was a good deal like the fol-
low, who, when ari Episcopal marriage
ceremony was going on and the priest
inquired, “ Who giveth this woman
away," remarked: “I can but i won’t."
“You see" said Mr. Anderson, “lie and I
were boys together, and I don‘t believe I
had better tell you all I know about him
in those days." He concluded by calling
for three cheers for his brother, and they
were given with a will.
The bgrid ended the exercises at the ar-
mory by playing "Marching through
Georgia," when the lines re-formpd and
the procession marched to Lockwood’s
Hall and the Athenscum for the evening’s
banquet. Wheeler & Wilson’s band dc-
lightcd the populace at the armory later
in the evening, while the G. A. R. men
and distinguished visitors spent most of
the evening feasting on food, pipes and
army stories.
The floor of the armory was densely
packed by men, and the gallery by ladies,
during the cntireinstallatiou exercises and
all seemed to think the whole demonstra-
tion a complete success.

[From Gen. Citrringion.]
HYDE PARK, Mass, Nov. 25th, 1887.
Dear Chi. Anderson :~—[ thank you for the
invitation to attend the installation of the
Grand Chaplain of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and beg that you convey to the
committee my acknowledgements.
I congratulate you upon the promotion,
and the Order which invites you to this high
and honorable service, upon' their selection.
I congratulate myself, that I am permit-
ted to see an old comrade, so faithfully real-
izing that confidence, which his faithful‘ser-
vice in the field foreshadowed.
I doubly regret, that. at the last moment,
I must recall my half-promised acceptance
of the invitation. as I lose the pleasure of a
visit with yourselfand family, and the an-
ticipated meeting with the Grand Army
men of my native state.
The members rapidly leave earth’s scenes
for muster in the Grand Encampment, for
“the Trumpet shall sonnr ,” and the final in-
spection shall try all work.
They who heard Sumter’s first gun, and
those who survived four years of active war,
must go hence, to be Seen no more on earth.
Well for them, this Republic and mankind,
if their sons imbibe their spirit and honor
their memory.
I have a sympathy with the attempt to
enlist the youth in Memorial Camps, as
Sons of Veterans. And that sympathy re-
touches the past and gilds the future as I
give it- expression.
I commend thc thought to comrades at
your reunion.
"1861-1887. Tin-z Soxs or VETERANS.”
Out from the: quivering wire, a voice went
forth. _
An electric thrill, from the South to the North
Bearing stern words, not of peace, but of war ,
A challenge to arms, both near and afar.
Out from the mansion and the lowly cot.
Men sprang by the thousand, to face the lot‘
Which commanded, “ Go forth —-the Nation
save, . .
Be the issue glory or silent grave.’
Out from worn scabbsrds,:leaped the shining I
blades, _ .
Out on the highway stood men with thir
maids— . . ‘
I’artings and blessings—cheers, sighs and and
tears . .
Were bleiidedlas|oue, to quiet all fears. ,
Out from the tempest of flame, rear and smoke
The land, long at rest, to trouble awoke, .
And in the ,wildj'ago of thundering b.rttle,
Men’s voices were hushed by rifle rattle.
Out from the dread place, by valley and plain,
Where legions had fought, fair freedom to gain
There struggled a remnant, bedabbled \vitn
bl
The country was saved,“1‘hauksgiring to God.”
Out from the loins of the surviving few,
Who had fought the good fight, wrth valor true'
There came the fair youth, well worthy of sires
Who had kindled anew these altar fires.
Out from the lapse of a. score of years,
Bedewed with tie balm of their mothers‘ tears
The Sons of Veterans, strong and bold
Now meet, to rehearse, the tale never told.
Out from the scenes of life’s titfnl dream
The sickle of death will the veterans glean,
But their Sons. at the Iii-asides solemnly swear,
Never foe to the nation shall enter there.
