R., who in his own private car yesterday made an inspec- tion of the E , O. & N. R. R., returned to Cortland last night. He was accom- panied by his stenographer a n d b y Superintendent Albert Allen and by Roadmaster Patrick Clancy of the E., C. & N, Mr. Caffrey spent the night in Cortland and left this morning on the 9 o'clock train for Elmira, where his car was delivered to the Erie railroad. He was this morning accompanied westward by Messrs. Allen and Clancy^ To a STANDARD reporter Mr. Caffrey said he was very much pleased with the E., C. & N. road, and with what he saw along i:s line, referring both to the rail road property and to the places through which it passed. He could give no opin- ion as to the probable purchase or lease of the road by the Lehigh., That was sot in his province. He was simply di- rected to come up here and go over the road, see all he could and report. His report would be favorable to the absorption of the E., C. & N. by the Lehigh. He thought that in any event the road should by all means be extended to Lake Ontario. Lie did not believe that Cortland or other places along the line of the road would find it to their disadvantage to have the Lehigh get possession of this road. The Lehigh is a big road. It has over 2,500 miles of track. It keeps its roadbeds in fine condition and uses first class rolling stosk and gives excellent, train service wherever it goes, The STANDARD man replied that this was all known to be true, but that Cort- land people feared if the Lthigh got con- trol of the E., C, & N. the car shops would be moved away and that a promi- nent iudustry of the place would be lost. Cortland people also feel very friendly toward the present management and are pleaded with the highly accommodating spirit always manifested by the officials Mr. CaiTrey replied that he saw no reason why the shops should be moved away if a change occurred. They do not form an expei sive plant to run, and they would really be needed right here for the highest efneitney of the road. He did not anticipate . that they would be moved and he thought that Cortland people need not give themselves any un- easiness ia this direction, In regard to the local management, of course he could not speak with any authority, but it had always been a policy of the road, where a connecting. road had been ab- sorbed to continue the local manage- ment if it was satitfactury. He knew that the management of the E., C. & N., is held in very high esteem by his road and he did not believe that any material changes would be made in case the Lehigh took possession. The reporter mentioned the action of the Syra/use Business Men's association a couple of weeks ago in appointing a committee to confer with the Lehigh Valley officials and see if in some way that road could not get an entrance to the Salt city and thus afford them better shipping facilities. Mr. Caffrey said that he knew nothing more of that committee than what he had seen in the papers, but did not doubt that the Lehigh would try to get into Sy- racuse if it were possible. He showed by some chance remarks that this thought had been in his mind in making the present inspection of the E , C. & N. Among other tbiogs he said that he had remarked to Mr. Allen yesterday at Cazenovia that it was a great pity that the West Shore road had ever been per- mitted to get control of"0e Chenango Valley road .which crosses the E , C. & N. at Ripplet on, as that would have been their way into Syracuse. He also spoke of the distance from Cortland tc Syra- cuse by way of the Christian Hollow valley from Tully and of the salt wells there in the valley. Mr. Clancy here remarked that a survey was made by the E. C. & N* several years ago and was now on file of a spur from Truxton off through the Labrador flals to Syracuse, and Mr. Caffrey by his reply showed ;himself ac- quainted with the fact of this survey. As the train moved out Mr. Caffrey stepped on board lemarking with a sig- nificant laugh as he shook hands with the reporter, "Well I hope I may see you again one of these days." The STANDARD man inquired of Su- perintendent Allen if he had anything to say about the matter and jhiu reply waa, »»Nu, nothing at all new. What the STANDARD said Wednesday night was jost exactly right. There is nothing to be added to it. No proposition of sny kind has been made by one road to the other. There is no use in disguis ing the fact that the Lehigh Valley is looking our road over. When they get through with their inspection tbey may or they may not make a proposition to Mr. Corbin. If they should do so and it should be acceptable to Mr. Corbin there would be very likely to be a change. If it was not acceptable it would probably end the whole thing. But at preient you are wholly correct in saying that nothing at all has b e n done.'* >~ PANEL OF JURORS W To Serve at a Trial Term of Supreme Csurt, Feb. 17. ; The following panel of grand atid trial jurors was drawn Thursday morning at the county clerk's office to serve a t a trial term cf the supreme court t o b e held at the court house in this county beginning Feb. 17, 1896: "GRAND JURORS.

H e w a s a c c o m ­panied by his s tenographer a n d b y Super intendent Albert A l l e n a n d b y Roadmaster Patrick Clancy of t h e E . , C. & N, Mr. Caffrey spent the n i g h t in Cortland a n d left this morn ing on the 9 o'clock train for Elmira , w h e r e h i s car w a s del ivered to t h e Erie railroad. H e w a s this m o r n i n g accompanied w e s t w a r d by Messrs. A l l en a n d Clancy^

To a S T A N D A R D reporter Mr. Caffrey said he w a s very m u c h pleased w i t h the E . , C. & N . road, a n d w i t h w h a t h e s a w a long i:s l ine , referring both to t h e rail road property and to the places t h r o u g h w h i c h i t passed. H e could g i v e n o opin­ion as to the probable purchase or lease of t h e road by the L e h i g h . , T h a t w a s s o t in his province. H e w a s s imply di­rected to c o m e up here and g o over the road, see all he could and report. H i s report w o u l d be favorable to the absorption of t h e E . , C. & N . by the Leh igh . H e t h o u g h t that in a n y e v e n t the road should by all m e a n s be e x t e n d e d to Lake Ontario. Lie did no t bel ieve that Cortland or other p laces a long the l ine of t h e road would find it to their d i sadvantage to h a v e the Leh igh g e t possession of th i s road. The Leh igh is a big road. I t has over 2 ,500 mi les of track. I t keeps its roadbeds i n fine condit ion and uses first c lass rol l ing s tosk a n d g i v e s excellent, train service wherever it goes ,

The S T A N D A R D m a n replied that this w a s all k n o w n to be true, but that Cort­land people feared if the L t h i g h g o t con­trol of the E . , C, & N. the car shops would be m o v e d a w a y and that a promi­nent iudustry of the place wou ld be lost . Cortland people also feel very friendly toward t h e present m a n a g e m e n t and are pleaded w i t h the h igh ly a c c o m m o d a t i n g spirit a l w a y s manifes ted by the officials

Mr. CaiTrey replied that h e s a w n o reason w h y the shops should be m o v e d a w a y if a c h a n g e occurred. They d o not form a n expei s ive plant to run, and they would really be needed r ight here for the h ighest e fne i tney of the road. H e did not antic ipate . that t h e y w o u l d be m o v e d and he thought that Cortland people need not g ive themse lves a n y un­easiness i a this direction, In regard to the local m a n a g e m e n t , of course he could not speak wi th a n y authority , but it had a l w a y s been a pol icy of the road, where a c o n n e c t i n g . road had been ab­sorbed t o cont inue the local m a n a g e ­m e n t if i t w a s satitfactury. H e k n e w that the m a n a g e m e n t of the E . , C. & N . , is he ld i n v e r y h igh es teem by his road and h e did not bel ieve that a n y material c h a n g e s w o u l d be m a d e in case the Lehigh took possession.

The reporter ment ioned the act ion of the S y r a / u s e Business Men's association a couple of w e e k s a g o in appoint ing a commit t ee to confer w i t h the Leh igh Val l ey officials and see if in s o m e w a y that road could not ge t a n entrance to the Salt c i ty a n d thus afford t h e m better shipping faci l i t ies . Mr. Caffrey said that he k n e w n o t h i n g more of that c o m m i t t e e than w h a t h e had seen in the papers, but did not doubt that the Leh igh would try to g e t into S y ­racuse if it were possible. H e s h o w e d by s o m e chance remarks that this thought had been in h is mind in m a k i n g the present inspect ion of the E , C. & N . A m o n g other t b i o g s h e said that h e had remarked to Mr. A l l en yes terday a t Cazenovia that it w a s a great p i t y tha t the W e s t Shore road had ever been per­mit ted to g e t control o f " 0 e Chenango Va l l ey road . w h i c h crosses the E , C. & N . a t Ripplet on, as that would h a v e been their w a y into Syracuse . H e also spoke of the distance from Cortland tc Syra­cuse by w a y of t h e Christian H o l l o w val ley f rom Tully and of the salt we l l s there in the va l ley .

Mr. Clancy here remarked that a survey w a s m a d e by the E . C. & N* several years a g o and w a s n o w o n file of a spur from Truxton off through t h e Labrador flals t o Syracuse , a n d Mr. Caffrey b y his reply s h o w e d ;himself ac ­quainted w i t h t h e fact of this survey .

STANDARD said Wednesday night was jost exactly right. There is nothing to be added to it. No proposition of sny kind has been made by one road to the other. There is no use in disguis ing the fact that the Lehigh Valley is looking our road over. When they get through with their inspection tbey may or they may not make a proposition to Mr. Corbin. If they should do so and it should be acceptable to Mr. Corbin there would be very likely to be a change. If it was not acceptable it would probably end the whole thing. But at preient you are wholly correct in saying that nothing at all has b e n done.'* >~
