There was filed on Tuesday in the of-
fice of the secretary of state at Hartford
a certificate of merger of the Housa-
tonic Railroad company with the N. Y.
N. H. & H. railroad.
The Housatonic railroad was leased
to the New York railroad in 1892.
Since that date the New Haven Com—
pany has from time to time acquired
Housatonic shares from the various
holders and as appears by the certificate
above referred to has acquired all the
shares. By this merger the. Housa-
tonic railroad company goes out of ex-
istence as a separate corporation.
The Housatonic road owned a line
extending from Bridgeport ,to the
Massachusetts state line, with branch-
es to Danbury and to Huntington, in
all about 90 miles, now added to the
owned mileage of the New Haven rail-
road. It was incorporated in 1836, and
was one of the first railroads built in
this state. ’7 , - ’ ‘

The entire special legislative com—
mittee, to the number of 10. with Sen-
ator Edwin O. Keeler of Norwalk,
chairman, appointed to investigate the
subject of good roads, held a hearing
at the county court house in Bridge-
port yesterday afternoon. -
These sessions are being held in each
county of the state and much interest
has been manifested. Representative
Kenealy of Stamford, had the hearing
in charge. County Commissioner
Mead of Greenwich, said that the peo-
ple of his town seemed to be satisfied
with the present law. John L. Hutch-
inson of Essex, explained that there
was a proposition to bond the state in
the sum of $3,000,000 in the interest of
good roads and that it would cost the
stateless than $9,000 a year to take
care of these bonds.
County Commissioner Lee said that
as the state was running behind, he
could not see how it was proposed to
raise the money to pay the interest on
the bonds. He added that he was in
favor of road improvements. but op-
posed to the bonding plan. He would
prefer to see a state tax laid.
Mr. Hutchinson said that in all prob-
ability the state receipts for the next
two years would greatly exceed the
, expenditures.
I Howard N. VVakeman of Fairfield,
spoke in the interest of good roads,
,' saying that he liked the present sys-
3 tem, but that it could be improved up-
on. He favored a state road depart-
: ment to have charge of the work and
make the improvements uniform. He
liked the bonding plan himself, but
could not speak for his town.
Representative Banks of Fairlield,
did not agree with Mr. W'akeman. He
thought that Commissioner Lee had
the right idea as to raising the money
for good roads. He said he liked good
roads if the “other fellow had to pay
for them.” '
County Commissioner Miller, Repre-
sentative Valdcn of Ridgefield and
several others were heard, some favor-
ing the bond system and some opposing
It.
The committee dined at the Atlantic
hotel. They will meet at Litchfield in
two weeks, which will end the county
hearings.
Matthew Kearney, one of the best
known railroad men in Stamford was
fatally injured at Port Chester on Fri-
day afternoon and died at the Stamford
hospital Saturday morning. Mr. Kear-
ney was an ex-freight conductor and
had been in the employ of the Consol-
idatcd railroad for the past twenty
years. Friday morning he left his
home after kissing his wife and three
little ones good-bye and boarded Con-
ductor Roddy’s work train on which
he was employed. 9
The train with the gang of men had
been ordered to Port Chester to repair
asection of the roadbed east of the
depot. After eating his dinner Kear-
ney resumed his work near the Church
street bridge. About 2 o’clock he was
working on the bridge and while at-
tempting to get out of the way of a
passing train he stumbled over the
signal wires and toppled off the bridge
to the street twenty feet below. His
fellow workmen hurried to the spot
and picked up his unconscious form
which was carried to the Port Chester
depot.
The unfortunate man was placed on
board the train for Stamford and upon
arriving there he was taken immediate-
1y to the hospital.
Here aftera short- examination the
house surgeon found that the base of
Kearney’s skull was badly fractured
and it would be impossible for him to
live. Owing to his strong constitution
the patient lived throughout the
night ant. until shortly after eight
o'clock Saturday morning.
The unfortunate victim was forty
years of age and was well known. For
over fifteen years he has been a mem-
ber of George E. Daggett lodge, Broth-
erhood of Railroad Trainmen of Stam-
ford and carried an insurance in the
society mentioned.
The deceased leaves a 'widow and
thrlec smallgchildren two boys and a

A most appalling accident occurred
at Port Chester Monday morning upon
the arrival at that station of the (5.40
train from Greenwich, in which Estes
{C Woodbury, of Springdale, lost his
116.
Mr. VVoodbury left his home Satur-
day to visit friends in Port Chester, ex-
pecting to return Monday morning.
He left his friends house about 6:45
o’clock to meet the 7 a. iii. train cast,
but instead of taking the street he
made a short cut along the tracks. As
the unfortunate man was nearing the
station the train which he intended to
board was ‘just pulling in. He was
walking along on the west bound track,
and when he was about midway of the
iron bridge over Fountain street, a
few hundred feet east of the station the
6:40 accommodation train from Gre'en-
wich rushed around the bend and
ground him to pieces.
The engineer brought his train to a
standstill almost immediately, and a
search was at once instituted for the
unfortunate man’s body. It was finally
located caught up in the trucks of the
forward portion of the tail car, and
was in such a position that it was nec—
essary to uncouple the cars and move
them before the body could be success-
fully moved, without further mutilating
it.
The locomotive and four cars passed
over the body, cutting it in two parts
and badly mutilating it. The head
and face were, however, not so badly
damaged that identification was impos-
sible. The body was taken to the
Port Chester station and the coroner
notified.
The deceased was a well known and
respected citizen of Stamford, and was
deeply interested in educational mat-
ters, having been associated with his
brother, Prof. Woodbury. of Yale in
preparing an English grammar. A
son and a daughter are located in that
city, the latter a teacher in the Wil-
liam street school, and the former a
clerk in Waterbury’s grocery store.
Two othbr sons reside in Springdalc..
Woodbury was about daycare of age.
'Janies Husted, ‘ of Sound Beach has
Within the past week or two bargained
fOr the sale of twentylof his twenty-six
acres of oyster grounds lying off 7 that
place, to Hoyt & Son, of South'Nor-
walk. The Hoyts are among the larg-
est planters in the state and ship most
of their product to Europe. They are
particularly partial .to hard bottom
beds, and as Mr. Husted’s twenty
acres .33 of that character and adjoin-
ing two ten acre patches owned by
them they were anxious to gain pos-
sessmn of it. The sale will be consum-
mated early in June, but they have al-
ready bound the bargain with a sum
satisf'aCtory to Mr. Husted.
It is reported that lawyer James
Huntington, of Woodbury, Litchfield
county, is the Silver Democrat in the
Fourth congressional district who is
Willing to accept a nomination to run
for congress next fall. The “regulars”
have been trying to keep the identity
of their candidate a secret, although
they have ,not hesitated to look wise
and admit that they could find a man
to run against Congressman Hill.
James Huntington is a practitioner
at lawiof. exceptional ability. He has
been in state politics for- years, and
leads his side of the house in Litchfield
county. He is a member of the law
firm of Huntington & Warner.
There is another man who is said to
be anXious for a seat in congress, as a
Democrat. from the Fourth district, in
the person of Mayor Bohannan of
Stamford. Some of his friends say he
is sure of the nomination. In the last
campaign he was a formidable compet-
itor for the nomination against Mr.
Houlihan, the latter winning out by
only two votes.
If either of these gentleman secure
the. Democratic nomination and run
against Congressman E. J. Hill they
will realize after the battle that they
have been in a fight.
“ The. stockholders of the VVestport
Electric road were convened in West-
port Tuesday morning, but no business
was transacted.
Vice President Nash, who presided,
announced that another adjournment
would be necessary, owing to an im-
portant matter that had been overlook-
ed in the preliminary discussion be-
tween the representatives of the road
and the prospective purchasers. This
particular matter, deemed sufficiently
important to hold up the negotiations
for the sale of the plant, can only be
conjectured, but from excellent author-
ity it was learned that it had reference
to several law suits now pending
against the road.
. The stockholders are apparently in
ignorance as to the identity of the
probable buyers, as nothing has been
said at any of the meetings that would
serve to throw any light in that direc-
tion. .The vice president of the com-
pany is certain that the next meeting

has good reasons for believing so. The
correspondence that has passed between

are satisfied to get rid of their stock
at a fair valuation, and have every con-
fidence in the ability of their officers
td’ make a deal that will be satisfactory
to all.
It was learned that during last week
surveyors, said to be employed by J er-
sey parties, visited the town and made
a survey of the territory. An inven-
tory of the assets of the company has
also been completed, and all that re-
mains is the formal transfer, as it is un-
derstood the price agreed upon is ac-
ceptable to the owners. The impres-
51on that the Norwalk company will
prove the eventual buyers is not so
stropg as it was a week ago. Tuesday’s
sessmn did not last a quarter of an
hour, and when adjournment was voted
it was for two weeks.
Henry Glover, died at his home on
West Main street, Monday afternoon,
in the 79th year of his age.
The deceased was born in Bedding
and in the year 1842 moved to Norwalk.
About thirty years ago he purchased
the grocery business of Thaddeus K.
Hubbell in the James block, which
business he conducted for ten of twelve
years at that place and later removed
to the Lynes’ block taking his son
Moses in as a partner.
Later Moses retired from the firm
but the firm name was retained by the
introduction into the same of his son,
Charles L. Glover. About eight years
ago the deceased retired from an active
interest in the business, owing to ill
health.
He was stricken with a paralytic
shock about that time but rallied and
was able to be about. Other shocks
followed which finally resulted in his
death as above stated.
He leaves three children, Charles,
Moses and Mrs. Fred Buckley.

MRSJPARNELL DEAD.
Mother of Charles Stewart Parnell Dies
from Burns.
London, March 28.—Mrs. Della Tudor
Parnell, daughter of the celebrated
American naval officer, Rear Admiral
Charles Stewart, and mother of Charles
Stewart Parnell, died last evening at
Avondale, Rathdrum, County Wick-
low, Ireland, as the result ,of the bums
she received Saturday from igniting
her clothing while she was sitting be-
fore a fire.
Miss Della. Tudor Stewart was mar-
ried to Charles Henry Parnell on May
21, 1835. Her famous son, Charles
Stewart Parnell, long the Irish Home
Rule leader in the British Parliament,
was not born until 1846. After his
death she remained for some time un-
der the hallucination that he still lived,
a delusion which was shared by her
daughter, Miss Anna Parnell, who at
the time of the imprisonment of
Charles Stewart Parnell, assumed the
direction of the Land League.
In April of 1896, while in this conning,"
Mrs. Parnell was the victim of 7&“8Mt
age assault, presumably by a tramp,
from the effects of which She never en-
t'irely recovered. Last May an appeal
and other influential friends of Charles
Stewart Parnell, was issued in London,
asking subscriptions to a fund to ”assist
her and other needy members of'the
family by freeing the Parnell estates in!"
Avondale from debt and other obliga-
tions. This was partially suCCessful,
and her own immediate necessities
Were relieved, while the remnant of
her days was passed in comparative
comfort.
To the end she was the devoted
champion of th doctrine of complete
political independence for Ireland of
which her favorite son was the most
celebrated exponent. .
Lieut. O’Brien’s Resignation Re‘called.
Washington, March 30.——The Secre-
tary of War has signed an order recall-
ing the acceptance of the resignation
of First Lieut. M. J. O’Brien, Fifth In-
fantry. This officer figured in the
court-martial proceedings held at At;
lanta, Ga., a. few months ago, as a re-
sult of trouble with Captain Romeyn.
Captain Romeyn was court-martialed,
but was allowed to retire without pun-
ishment. More recently Mr. O’Brien
was charged with conduct unbecoming
an officer, but, pending action on the
charges, Mr. O’Brien resigned, and the
resignation was accepted, to take effect
to-morrow. Through the intercession
of influential friends, the Secretary of
War has been induced to withdraw the
acceptance of resignation. This will
continue Mr. O’Brien in the service.
