On Wednesday, about noon our commun-
ity were startled by the cry of fire. It was
soon discovered that it proceeded from the
Ice house owned by E. K. Selleck, and oc-
cupied by Clarence Clock of Daricn. The
neighbors quickly assembled, but found it
useless to try and save anything except the
residence and outbuildings of Miss F. A.
Sellcck. The supposition is, that the fire
originated from the careless smoking of_ 8
pipe in the building. About 150 tons of ice
was saved. . .

been stolen in Mcriden the night before, and
Constable Fitzroy had just received a postal

tion of the stolen property. As he finished
reading the card, he ked up and a horse
and buggy answering t e description stood
before him. He obtained another horse,
followed the thieves on the Portchester road
until he found the letter P branded on the
horses breast as described. He ordered a
halt when the two thieves jumped out and
tried to eacapc. He caught one, and other
persons coming up chased and captured the
other. The owner came and identified the
property. _

Thursday, while W. D. Handley was go'-
ing on board the schooner .Burdctt, at Sang-

of the wife of Captain Handley,the supposed
owner, that gentleman intercepted thcyouth-
ful tresspasser forbidding him to proceed.
Young Handlcy becoming enraged at this
unexpected act drew a pigtol and threatened
to shoot his uncle, who quietly seized and
shook his relative. A rough and tumble
fight ensued in which the youth succumbed
to age and superior muscle. Each caused
the arrest of the other. The case of W. D.

for trial. Decision for Captain Handlcy.
The condition of Mr. James Smibert' has
changed but little for the better since his
mishap. In consequence the desire of the
community to know the ~true inwardness of
the strange‘fiair has been gratified not in the
least by any declarations made by the pa—
tient, who maintains silence on all points
bearing upon the case. The spot where he
fell, or was thrown, has been visited by
hundreds anxious to learn the height,
and width of the rocks, depth and
all have come away no wiser than when they
set out to investigate. They, however,found ,
a rail fence over the top of the rock, built
some time ago to prevent a refractory cow
pitching down, and a sight of this rail or
fence impresses them with the idea that man
or beast could not fall from thence unless
assisted, and if a man fell the shock he re-
ceived would be pretty likely to result in
death. That Mr. Smibert, whether he fell
or was thrown, escaped with his life, is con—
sidered miraculous. In the far off future the
stranger asking the. name of this unsightly
formation will be told: “That ? That’s Smi—
bert’s Rock P"

years past been acquainted with the
remedy known as Warner’s Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, and with its remarkable curative
efficiency, in obstinate and so-ealled- incura-
ble cases of Bright’s disease in this city. In
some of these cases, which seemed to be in
the last stages, and which had been given up
by practitioners of both schools, the speedy
change wrought by this remedy seemed but
little less than miraculous. I am convinced
that for Bright's Disease in all its stages, in—
cluding the first symptoms, which seem to
slight but are so dangerous, no remedy here-
tofore discovered can be held for one moment
in comparison with this.”

From the New Haven Courier.
THE PARALLEL RAILROAD-
The Railroad Commissioners were again
“at it" yesterday, giving further hearing with
regard to the layout of the projected Parallel
road and whether it should be accepted. For
a muggy, close August day, and with more
knotty legal points confronting them, the
commissioners looked tolerably happy, and
as if they would not object giving. a hearing
to Pack, even with a proposition to put a
girdle around the world in forty minutes.
There was in attendance quite a number of
friends of the Parallel scheme from New
prospects of getting the road built. One
gentleman was satisfied that there was noth—
ing to hinder, “providing they would give us
a fair show,’f—they evidently referring to
Mr. Doolittle, who was regarded as a serious
difficulty in the way in his capacity as attor.
ney. The hearing was held in the Supreme
Court room‘. The Parallel projectors had for
their attorney Mr. Warner, of Norwalk, as-
sociate of Mr. Hyde, of Waldo, Hubbard «St
Hyde. Mr. H. noted at the previous hear-
ing, but could not attend yesterday. Mr.
Doolittle, of this city, again offered objec-
tions to the Parallel.
The business opened with the announce—
ment by Commissioner Woodruff of the de-
cisions on questions raised at the previous
hearing, which with the objections were as
follows:
1. George R. Cowles‘ name as a subscriber
of stock is not a signature within the mean~
ing of the law. If it is not he is not a stock-
holder; if not a stockholder he is not a (ll.
rector; if not a director then the board is not
full and the organization is not perfected.
The petitibners reply that the point is imma-
terlai and that it is not competent for the
commissioners to inquire concerning it: If
they are competent to so inquire the Signa-
ture of Colon is in accordance with the statute.
2. The report of the engineer is not such
as required by the statute inasmuch as it ,was
not founded on an actual examination of ‘the
route. The petitioners say as it is such a re-
port and is in accordance with the statute.
Decision—The board are competent to in-
quire, and if either of the alleged defects is
true there has been no such organization as
required by law. For-the purposes of this
case we hold that evidence can be introduced
as to the signature. '
The report of the engineer is not such as
the statute requires; it is not founded on ac-
tual examination of the route. But proof of
this will be allowed; if evidencc'shows it to
be in accordance with the statute the hearing
may proceed.
But there is a third difficulty not presented
here, but which is opposed absolutely to pro-
ceeding at this time. By the 29th section of
the original railroad law it is provided that if
any railroad company over where tracks the
proposed crossing, the commissioners shall
fix it after a full hearing. _ There is no alle—
gation in the petition that the railroad com—
panies have been applied to, and that -there
has been a failure of agreement, There are
five railroads, exclusive of the New Haven
and Derby road, which the proposed route
crosses. It is a legal prerequisite that there
shall be an allegation of failure to agree.
The practical difficulty is that it is impossible
or very improper in us to attempt to locate
the road until we have determined the points
of crossing other railroads, as these are con-
trolling points of location. If we don’t know
where the road is to cross we don’t know
where to locate the tracks between the
crossings.
In regard to the highway crossings at grade
—on the face it appears that the crossings
are to be at grade. The petitioners say they
do not want to do that, therefore that part of
the matter will have to be disallowed. We
indicated at the last meeting that an amend-
ment would be allowed and the proceeding
continue without further notice. fig:
Ex-Congressman Warner, for the New
England and Connecticut railroad, said that
as Mr. Cowles was present there would be no
difficulty in fiiring the question of signature.
If there cannot be an amendment to the pe-
tition with reference to crossing other rail-
roads of course the petition cannot succeed.
If there can be the hearing can proceed. An
amendment concerning the crossings of high:
ways has already been prepared.
Commissioner Woodrufif said the board
would allow an amendment as to the railroad
crossings, but it must be submitted in such a
manner as to have the railroad companies
properly notified so that they can appear to
be heard. The reason of their absence here-
tofore was the lack of notice and the knowl-
edge that the proceeding,so far' as such cross-
ings were concerned, would be null and void.
The commissioners would, when the amend-
ment was made, prepare an order of notice
for these cempanies. The chairman added,
however that perhaps a legal right to amend
did not exist at common law.
Mr. Doolittle couldn’t see why the petition-
ers should wish to proceed when it might be
a mere waste of time. , '
“We’ll take our chances on that ,” said Mr.
Warner. . _
“It is consuming a great deal of time,”
said Commissioner. Bacon, “but you can suit
yourselves, gentlemen.” - ,
Mr. Woodrnlf said he should leave that
matter to the courts if it was taken there.
Very possible the whole proceeding might
be declared void; but the commissioners
were not a legal court and did not choose to
take the responsibility of jurisdiction and
would allow the petitioners to amend their
applications. After notifying Mr- Warner
that proper notice must be served upon the ,
other companies, Mr. ,Woodruff said that the
appointments for hearings at Bridgeport,
. Greenwich and other places must necessarily
fall through for the present.
As to the legal validity of Mr. Cowles'
stock subscription. Mr. Gowles himself was
present and sworn to ‘giving the newer to
Mr. Olmstead together with a check for$100
—the necessary ten per cent.of the ten shares
of stock subscribed. Mr. Olmstead next swore
that he reeeived the power of attorney and
check, and turned the latter over to Cornel—
ius'V. Sidell, of New York, the treasurer of
the company. The power of attorney was
submitted to the commissioners for examina-
tion.
Mr. Doolittle at this point enquired what
were the occupations of different subscribers.
Mr. Warner objected to it as unnecessary.
Mr. Doolittle replied that it Was necessary,
and intimated emphatically that if these sign-
crs were,“shysters,” “lawyers,” “brokers,”
“men who live by their wits,” and “black-
mailers,” the enquiry was all right.
Mr. Warner spiritcdly replied that Mr.
Doolittle spoke time without knowledge, else
he' would not make such aspersions. Mr.
Doolittle retortcd that he probablyknew as
much as his friend did on the subject. He
held that “ the shystcrs and_brokcrs in New
Yorkhavc pickcgout just enough Connecti-
cut mcn for directors to comply with the
law.” . '
Mr. Warner said everybody knew that
enough money could not be obtained in the
State to build the road. The capital must
come from elsewhere. ‘
The board held, as last year, that it was
not in their province to enter upon this mat-
ter. Mr. Doolittle said he would get at the
t‘acts in another place. ' ' ’- -
S. E. Olmstead testified that be exercised
the power of attorney given him Irv George
R. Cowles. '
Niles B. Schuberth, surveyor, of Bridge-
port, was next called with reference to Wheth-
er 110 had made an actual examination of the
road as the law required. The witness swore
that he was the cnginecr'in charge of the
surveys that had been made of the new road
and that he had gone over every foot of the
ground. In the examination of this witness
Daniel Davenport, 9. Bridgeport attorney,
took a hand. He claimed, as did Mr; Don-
little, that- the layout of the road was entirely
survey of the proposed New York, Bostou
York. They talked very sanguine as to the .
on to Danbury, there to make a connection
different from that which the company was
incorporated to build. The location as Sub-
mittcd for approval must substantially follow
the route tiled in the office of the Secretary
of State. This the engineer admitted had
not been done- ...In New Haven the road
started 4,000 fcctfurther west than was shown
by the map in the Secretary of State’s office
at - Hartford, while ‘Mr. DnVenDOrt’claimed
that the route in the town of Fairfield had
also been changed. Both lawyers agreed that
the statute governing the layout of the road
must be strictly followed, Mr. Doolittle ad-
ding, “ If they are allowed to deviate as they
choose, they might, in building a read any to
Hamden, go down and take in South End.”
Mr. Warner denied that there had beon,to
his knowledge, any deviation of moment in
the layout of the road, as filed in the office of:
the Secretary of State.
Mt. Davenport drew from Mr. Schubarth
the admission that in Fairfield‘thc line which
the commissioners were asked to locate di—
verged a mile from the line filed in the ofiicc
of the Secretary of State.
Mr. WoodrutI at once declared that Mr.-
Davenport had proved his point, that there
had been a considerable deviation, and the
commissioner said that was enough to test
the law. The commissioners would at a later
pcrion decide the point. I
Mr. Schubarth said that the new route was
over two miles shorter than the one submit-
ted 1ast year. The present route was 44 8.10
miles from New- even to the State line.
Mr. Warner held that the distinction was
too fine, that the route submitted was sub-
stantially the one previously submitted, not-
withstanding some deviations. It was the
same road, went through the same townsand
Mr. Doolittle replied that a specific route
was just what was required. ~
The board announced that they would hear
and decide upon the points raised, and an-
nouncexin due time the time for another
hearing. '
If the divergence of route is decided upon
as a fatal defect, the company, it is stated,
will amend it to cure if possible thc'dcfect,
or else start anew again. On the one hand,
it is claimcdtliat there is nothing in the pro-
ject but a scheme; on the other, the friends
of the project hold that they mean business
in good faith.
The Ridgefleld and Port Chester
_ R. R.
The New York Times says: About ten
years ago the Ridgeficld and Portchester
railroad company was organized under the
laws of the state Connecticut- The capital
stock was fixed 1; $2,600,000. The con-
tractor for building the road agreed to take
one-half the stock. Three hundred thousand
dollars was subscribed. and two hundred
thousand was paid in. The road was sur
veyed and work was begun at various points
along the line. The contractor, however,
did not fulfill his part of the agreement. The
work was stopped and nothing has been done
upon it since that time. For the put six
weeks the New York and New EnglandrailI
road company has been quietly buying up
the stock of this road, and it has now secured
a majority of it. The object which the New
York and New England railroad company has
in buying up this road is to immediately be—
gin work upon it and complete it. The
company propose not only to build the road
from Ridgcfield to Portchester, but to build
with the main line, and also to build an en-
tirely new road from Portchestcr to New
York city. The road will then go under the
New York, New Haven and Hartford rail;
road at Pelhamvillc, cross the Harlem river
over the new bridge which is now being
erected, and enter New York city by the Sec-4
ond Avenue elevated railroad. It is not yet .
decided where the depot will be located in :
New York. The road is to be constructed in
the best manner, will have steel rails and a
double track, and all the rolling stock will be
the best that Can be made.
So quietly had this movement been made
by the New York and New England railroad
company that few outside of those who were
directly interested in it knew anything about
it, but as they have secured the majority of
the old stock now there is not so much se-
crecy about it. The new line will be pushed
rapidly forward as soon as some necessary de:
tails are arranged, and will in all probability
be running‘in the course of a few months.
When completed the new line will make the
long wished for connection which that road
has desired to have with New York, and will
make it independent of other roads. The
New York and NewEngland company has re-
cently completed its road from Danbury to
Brewster’s, and there connects with the Har-
lem road to NEW York, but that way is not
looked upon with favor. _It is thought that
the new road will be a valuable addition to
the NewYork and New England railroad
company, outside the New York connection,
as. it goes through a section of Connecticut
that will be very 'likely to give it a large
amount of business. ~
ANcW Route to the East.‘
The extension of the New York and New
England Railroad from Waterbury. Conn.,
to Brewsters’s, has been opened for local
passenger traffic. By means of this line, in
connection with“ the New York city and
Northern Railroad, a new route is provided.
to Hartford and the East. The 6 a. m. and
6:10 p. m. trains from Hartford will hereaf-
te'r run through to Brewster’s,aud ins will
leave Brewster’s for Hartford at. :30 a. m.
and 3:30 p. m. The time tables of the New
York City and Northern and the New York
and New England Railroad are not yet ad-
justed so as to accommodatethrough passen-
ger traffic, but it is proposed to have through
cars running from New York to Hartford
over this route within a‘ month. The newly-'
finished extension is forty-one miles in length
and runs for the most part through a farm-
ing region. The only town of considerable
size through which it passes is Danbury, ten
miles from Brewsters, and the terminus of
the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad. Near
Howleyville, six miles east of Daubury, the-
new road crosses the tracks of the Housa-
tonic Railroad, which extends from Bridge—
port to Pittsfield, Mass. The Housatonic
River is crossed by the new line near Sandy
Hook. _ A bridge 115 feet high spans'a small
stream near Union City, four miles west of
Waterbury. ~
The scenery on the line of the extension
is for the most part of great beauty, there
being a number of high embankments afford- .
ing wide views of the surrounding country.
The scene from the bridge over‘the Housin-
tonic River" is espicia‘ily picturesque. The
constant succession of ridges and valleys
that forms so prominent is feature of the
landscape of Eastern Connecticut and Massa-
chusett‘.I is to be observed over the greater
part of the route. The new line consists of
single track and the road bed is not entirely
complete as yet, hence the trains will for’the
present make their trips over the new portion
of the line at a spa-ed of only fifteen miles an
hour. This track is to be extended this full
to Fishkill, which will be the western termi—
nus of the road. The New York and New
England Railroad was formerly known as the
Hartford, Providence and Fishkill. It passed
through many hands audits construction
met with much delay before its purchase by
General James H. Wilson, of Boston, now
the President of the road, and his associates.
The construction has since been vigorously
pushed forward for the purpose of securing
a connection with New York—Tribune. ,

The Union Investment and

155 and 157 BROADWAY. NEW YORK.
FFERS for sale to investors the preferred stock
ofthc Gold Gravel Hydraulic.Co., oi I’lumas
and Sierra Counties, California. This property
which has been a largely paying one {or the last
eleven years, is a consolidation of placer claims
which have already produced nearly twelve mil-
lions in gold—and which are extensive and rich
enough to produce one hundred millions more.
The present facilities for gold washing on the
property will suffice for an annual net production
of at least S300,000,ivhich production it is proposed
to largely increase by the construction ofiiew
water work ands the use of additional apparatus
for extracting the gold. The Union Investment
and Promoting Company, which itself owns the
Cemmon Stock of the Gold Gravel Company,
which is not for sale, guarantees that the pre-
ferred stock which it offers to the public at par,
shall receive 12 per cent. annually before any di-
vidend shall be paid on the common stock—at the
present rate of production, however, the divi-
dends on the total capital stock of one million,
should not be less than twenty-five per cent. The
Union Investment and Promoting Co., is a Con~
necticnt Corporation with its chief otlicc in New
York City. 1ts President is A. F. Wilmarth, the
Vice President of the Home Insurance Company;
and among its Director arc J. S. Stout, of Stout

-scrvativc field for investment if sufilcient water
forli draulioopcrntious is available Prof. Wm.
P. B ake, ot'N cw Haven and other experts ofthe
highest character have reported most favorably
upon this property. In answer to the question
likely to be first linked by the cautious New Eng-
land investor: “Wliy,ii' this is so good a. thing
does this wcultliy company wish to sell any of
the stock"—it may be said that, through thecom-
panies’ agents and experts in California, it has
opportunities to use capital in Similar invest-
mcnts which will pay the company fifty per cent.
which is amordinitry rate of miners interest. It
proposes to continue so long as possible this
profitable use of mono while giving the public
the advantage of pure using a. twenty-five per
