Accident on the Derby.
There was delay in the running of
trains on the New Haven and Derby
road Tuesday afternoon caused by the
derailment of the engine of the Wilson
Point freight at Tyler'Cily. This train
was going to take the siding in order to
allow the train in charge of Conductor
Phillips, due in Ansonia at 12.30 p. m.,
to pass, when for some unknown cause
the engine left the track. Conductor
Bradley’s train from Bctsford, due in
New Haven at 12.42, ran to the wreck,
and there exchanged passengers with
Conductor Phillips, and then he return-
ed to Ansonia, arriving nearly an hour
late. Conductor Phillips backed his
train into New Haven.

New Railroad. L
The Long Island and New York Ter-

Albany Saturday with a capital of
$1,000,000, divided into 10,000 shares.
Austin Corbin took 100 shares. The
plans of the Corbin combination con-
template the construction of a tunnel
under the narrow part of the Sound,
near College Point. which 'will bring
the New England road to a direct con-
nection with the Long Island system.
To reach the tunnel on the Westches-
fer side a road to connect with the
Housatonic road. which is part of the
New England system. will be built.
A terminus in New York city is to be
secured also by tunnel to some point
below Forty-Second. street, and the
newly incorporated company is believed
to be the line organized for the purpose.

The followxng letter from Bishop Mc-

You are hereby instructed to make
known to the people of your charge
that by virtue of a decree lately receiv-
ed from Our Most Holy Father. Pope
Leo XIII, they are dispensed for the
present year from the customary absti-
nence and fast of the Lenten season,
Fridays’ fast and abstinence to be alone
observed. It is the wish, however,that
the Catholic faithful, while enjoying
such a benefit from the indulgence of
Holy Mother “Church in places vis-
ited by a serious epidemic should dur-
ingthe blessed‘season of Lent redouble
their endeavors to perform other acts
of penance and to observe more care-
fully Catholic exercises of devotion.
Lent commencedWednesday and the
usual Lenten services will, be held at
St. Mary’s church. '

NEW YORK &NEW ENGLAND.
The Vanderbilts Said to Have
Acquired Control of the ,
Road.
Has the Sale Been Made?
It was said in Wall street yesterday
that New York and New England had
passed into the control of the Vander-
bilts, and that H. Walter Webb would
be made president of the road.
. The rumors had the effect of boom-
ing the prices of New England on the
Stock Exchange, but no reliable au-
thority was forthcoming in support of
them. ..
President Chauncey M. Depew, of
the New York Central, denied that
either that companv or the Vanderbilts
had secured control of the New York
and New England. Austin Corbin, pres-
ident of, the latter road, refused to
make any statement. It was learned,
however, on undoubted authority, that
there have been recent occurrences in'
connection with the New England road
which may lead to interesting develop-
ments. It may be stated positively that
Dr. W. Seward Webb, a son-in-law of
the late W. H. Vanderbilt, has con-
sented to accept the presidency of the
New York and New England. With
equal pos1t1veness it may be said that
Dr. Webb’s action is quite independent
of the Vanderbilts and that it does not
represent any desire or intention on
their_part of acquiring an interest in
the New England Road. It is strongly
intimated that should Dr. Webb deter-
mine to identify himself with that pro-
perty, the Vanderbilts will officially dis-
claim any connection with the matter.
Since the Corbin-Parsons-Prince par-
ty became prominent in New York and
New England last J anuary, efforts have
been made at times to induce the Van-
derbilt family to interest themselves in
the property. Overtures for a transfer
of control are said to have been made,
and a strong attempt was made to se-
cure a traffic alliance with the New York
and Harlem road, by which the New
England road could secure freer access
to New York city. How far the nego-
tiations extended cannot be learned,
but persons who are well informed say
that the Central people rejected all pro-
pos1tions. It was realized by the man-
agers of the New York Central that no
alliance could be made with the New
England without offending the more
powerful friendly interests in the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
and the Boston and Albany roads. The
New Haven interests are believed to
have been extremely solicitdus regard-
ing the active work done by the new
element in the New England in build-
ing up that property this year, and
strong appeals were made to the New
York Central to prevent any new alli-
ance.
. The New England people, however,
were able to secure the consent of Dr.
Webb to . take the presidency of the
roads It is to be presumed that Mr.
Corbin was perfectly willing to retire
from the pres1dency in order to bring
about a change which would popularly
be accepted as significant of a future
deal in connection with the New Eng-
land system. It is not known that Dr.
Webb Will persist in allowing the use'
of his name. The annual election of
the New England road occurs on next
Tuesday. 'lhere is ample time for Dr.
Webb to withdraw from the field.
Should he fail to do so, it is declared
on sound authority that his act will be
purely personal and will in no way
commit the Vanderbilts or the New
York Central to an alliance with the
New England road.
There are many friends of the New
York and New England who refuse to
look upon Dr. Webb’s step as a matter
of indiv1dual preference. They regard
it as a significant recognition by capi-
talists of the growing importance of
the New England system in the rail-
roads of the Eastern States. The en-
trance of Charles Parsons into the New
England board of directors was ac-
cepted at the time as a pledge of devel-
opment. .
Ever since the changes in the New
England management last January
there have been constant efforts to im-
prove the _condition of the road, and
the new issue of $30,000,000 bonds
which is contemplated is designed to
put the property in shape to make it a
dangerous rival of the New Haven sys-
tem. The control of the Poughkeepsie
Bridge‘ by the Reading, especially
Since the latter’s acquisition of the J er-
sey Central and the Lehigh Valley, is
expected to make the New England an
important factor in the distribution of
coal through the Eastern States.
Should Dr. Webb finally decide to
Withdraw his candidacy for the presi-
dency of the New England the friends
of the latter property say that they
would not be downcast. It is believed
by some persons that it is only a ques-
tion of the ripeness of time'when the-
control of the New England will go to
Vanderbilt interests. There are others
who contend that the recent attempts
to secure an alliance between New
England and New York Central are
only part of a stock speculation that
will end in collapse. -
Military Matters.
General orders from the adjutant
general’s office announce the names of
officers and men who qualified in the
season for 1891 for state decorations.
The total number in the Fourth is 47.
Col. Frost.and Maj. Godfrey are sharp-
shooters.
Brig. Gen. Watson having qualified
for the tenth season, is entitled to the
handsome silver decoration. He isa
sharpshooter. Lieut. Col. G. L. Por-
ter, surgeon, has qualified for five sea-
sons and is in the marksman’s class.
Lieut. Col. L. N. Van, Keuren is a
sharpshooter. _ .
The decorations will not be distrib-
uted for some weeks yet. Col. Frost
and Capt. Goulden, inspector ot‘ rifle
practice, intend that the regiment shall
show a larger percentage this year.
