For some time. the Street Railway company has been anxious to continue its tracks up to the depot of the Con- solidated railroad at South Norwalk. . The property over which the com- pany wished to run their cars in order to reach the depot was that of which the Consolidated railroad had control. It is now authoritatively stated that thelnegotiations in reference to the run- ning of the tracks to the depot have been amicably settled, the Street Rail- way company having taken a lease of the grounds for the right of way for their tracks. _ This makes a connecting link with a route to Boton Point which met with the favor of the Street Railway Com- pany,‘ and may eventuate in their ex- tending their tracks by way of Spring street to that popular summer resort. The fact that the electric cars will be run to the depot will be cheering news to all who have occasion to ride on the Corsolidated road. <- Work in the wav of ix’tensiou of the tracks will probably be commenced at once, the quicker the better.

The case was brought to the attention of Judge Wheeler on an appeal from the decision of the County commissioners. This board ordered the working of one of the roads named in the petition but re- fused the other. This satisfied Mrs. Anderson but the town of New Canaan contended that the roads in question were not public highways and appealed. The result is a great surprise. Judge Wheeler not only orders worked the road which the commissioners decided to put in condition but the other one as well. The character of the job as ‘laid out by Judge Wheeler, however, Will not prove as expensive to the town as the working of the one road ordered by the commissioners. But the town still clings to the belief that the roads we not highways and yesterday morning Attorney John H. Light, representing the town, filed an appeal to the Supreme Court of Errors. If this tribunal de- fcides that the roads are highways, then it is probable that the town will vote to discontinue them and the fight of Mrs. Anderson through these different tri- bunals will have been for naught. Susan Anderson lives in a far away district in the town of New Canaan on what is known as the Cheese Hill road. Her property is surrounded on all sides by woodland. For years it has been al- most impossible for her to drive to towns adjoining. She is compelled to do most of her trading in Wilton and receives her mail at the Wilton post- office. But the road to Wilton was more like a cowpath than a road and she was unable to drive there. Therefore she pe- titioned the town of New Canaan, through Attorney Joseph A. Gray, to work the road leading from her home to Wilton and also the road leading to the town of Norwalk. The town refus- ed to comply with the re quest on the ground that the roads were not legal highways; Judge Curtis of the courttof commc n pleas, in a petitio heard prior to this, decided that guidel posts had deter- mined the roads as highways. On learning the decision, Mrs. Anderson appealed to the county commissioners. The latter held several hearings and visited the premises. They were of the opinion that Mrs. Anderson should have one outlet and finally ordered that the road to Wilton, a half mile in length, be worked. From this decis- ion, the town appealed to the Superior court and Judge Ralph Wheeler heard the case. His decision is interesting. Be reverses the finding of the com- miss'ioners, yet finds practically as did the board. He goes further, however, and orders worked the road to Belden Hill leading into Norwalk. The character of the work prescribed by Judge Wheeler on the two roads, however, is not as expensive as that de- singed by the commissioners on the other road and the town could carry out the order of the Superior Court at much less cost than it could the order of the commissioners. But the select men do not propose to expend any money on the roads. They still claim that the roads are not highways and will now ask the Supreme Court to re- view the matter. If this is against the town and. all the courts within this jur- isdiction have agreed that the roads ‘are legal highways and not cowpaths, as- the selectmen are inclined to think, then their abolition will be in order.

The Justice finds that Mr. Flavins J. Allen did not violate the law prohibih. ing the catching, possession or sale of clams of less than oneirch in thickness, and the State of New York cannot; re- cover a penalty of $100 for each prohib- ited clam said to have been found at the Astor House oyster bar. On Sept. 10 last year two State game protectors walked into the Astor House and ordered two plates of clams. While they were being served the in- spectors stepped behind the bar and took from a tub four clams of less than an inch in thickness. “ -. The inspectors proceeded against Mr. Allen for having these four small clams in his possession. . After citing the laW, which provides that small clams when caught shall be returned to the water llLl' jnred. Jus- tice McAdams says the «valence shows that the clams were taken from the wa- ters around NorWalk. “No clams of the prohibited size were sold or ofi'ered for sale,” says the Justice. “The act is for the preservation and propagation of Shellfish within the wa- ters of thin State. It does not in any manner silk-ct- the catching of shellfish in the wati rs of other States, for the laws of this State have no force beyond its territorial limits. “Che purpose of the act was to re- quire the catcher or the person for whom the clams were caught. to return them to the water.” _ Connecticut now has a similar law and New Yorkers will have to purchase their baby clams in some other state.

D'ANNUNZIO To cousrocx. The Italian Author Snbtly Ridicules the ' Pretenslona of the Latter. New York, April 28.——Gabriele D’Ani nunzio has sent. an answer .to‘ Anthony Comstock’s charge against his “Trio, umph of Death.” _ '1 D’Annunzio handles Comstock in sub-l tle Italian fashion. He does not strike hard, nor aim to. He throws slender. darts, but they are poisoned. ;.\ D’Annunzio begins by saying he is laughing, laughing, laughing on board a. yacht in the gulf of Naples. where the. blue stretches of water invite one to laugh louder and louder. Then he con- tinues: .. ' _ “In a. young and fr country, pro- pitio’us for all the bro dest and most intense manifestations of life, can it still be permissible for a. certain Mr. Comstock to impose his stupid veto up- ’ on a work of art which is nothing if not a severe and sadly complete study' of one of the most atrocious infirmities that afflict the modern soul? In the' name of what morality does this ob- tuse persecutor hurl his thunderbolts? Destitute of even a glimmer of intellis gence, he may be fitted to harass drunkards wallowing in the mire of the city, but he has not the slightest ca;- pacity, nor has be any authority, to ex- press a judgment of any kind upon a work of beauty and poetry. "p “Not for his sake—for at him I laugh - ' -——but in order to preVent honest minded " people being led astray, I wish to de-n fend my work. . : . “The horrible vacuity of life, with on}- ly itself for object. the tragic despair of carnal passion, are revealed in it with an exactitude very much more effica- cious than- rhetorical sermons or the - zealous denunciations of Mr. Comstock and of his society.” , D’Annunzic concludes as follows: “You see, then. what is intended to be the moral significance of the book that the funny Mr. Comstock has dared to accuse of immorality. You see what is the tendency of my art—a. gradual ele- vation from deformity and impotence toward the most ample and splendid forms of life. "As I anticipated, the stupid accusa- tion has tumbled down amid universal laughter, and the secretary of the So- ciety For the Prevention of Vice is cov- ered with ridicule, and in the future he may not care to meddle with things too elevated for his mental capacity." THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUDDLE. A Motion Adopted Despite the Opposition of Mr. Cecil Rhodes. Cape Town.
