A special town meeting was held in
the town assembly rooms Wednesday
evening at80’clock, about 200 voters
John H. Light was
Town clerk
being present.
selected for moderator,
Smith acting as clerk.
The meeting was called for the fol~
lowing purposesr
1. To make an appropriation of not
more than forty-five hundred dollars
I for the improvement of the public high-
way. under the provisions of Chapter
CLXXV of the Public Acts of the State
passed by the General Assembly at the
January session, 1899.
2. ' To take action anon a petition of
voters and tax payers requesting that
the selectm’en be, « authorized and
instructed to widen the opening under-
the D. &N. R. R. track at Meadow
street and to make the necessary ap-
p10p11at1on for said work
3. To “heat the report of Engi-
neer Charles N. Wood, on the bridge
over the Norwalk river, above the Fair
Grounds, so called, and if deemed
advisable to direct that said bridges be
Pepahed 01' 1ebuilt, and In what manne1
and to make the necessary apnropr 121'
tion ther'ef01. ,
The first business under the call be-
ing to make an appropriation of $4,500
for the public highway. Frank Leonard
presented a 1es01ution that same be ap-
propriateed, which was passed.
Chailes W. Bell of Roway ton, then
brought up the matter of widening the
opening under the Meadow street
bridge, and presented a resolution ap-
propriating $5,000, or such part there-
of as should be necessary, for the work.
A. E. Austm wanted to know- how
wide the opening was to be, what it
would cost and how much the railroad
would pay '9
In" W. Maples said he understood
from former meeting that it would cost
85,000; that the selectmen could do
nothing without the consent of the
railroad and that the railroad would
allow only its own men do the work.
Selectman Thomes said the whole
cost would be about $7,500, of which
the railroad has promised to pay one—
third.
J. Bcldcn Hurlbutt said the reso-
lution was too indefinite, and it would
be wise to appoint a committee to con—
fer with the officials to see what open-
ing could be made without litigation.
Continuing he said the call did not say
whether the opening shall be one foot
wider 01' 500 feet wider.
He moved that a committee of three
be appointed' to consist of the first
selectman, the Mayor of South Nor-
walk and Mayor of Norwalk, to confer
with the railroad ofiicials.
Mr. Hurlbutt also moved that the
committee report at an adjourned
meeting.
Selectman Thomes said that the con-
tractors had agreed to stand by their
figures of a year ago, and that the
opening would be forty feet wide.
Richard H. Golden said he was pres-
ent when the railroad officials agreed
to pay one-third cost and he couldn’t
see what harm it would dodto pass the
resolution. If the company refused to
pay one-third that matter would have
to be dropped any way, as the people
wouldn’t appropriate the full amount
Gen. Russell Frost, who had just
come in, asked for-the reading of the
call.
Mr. H urlbutt’s substitute resolution
was then adopted.
Mr. Hurlbutt then moved that when
the meeting adjourn it adjourn for two
weeks, or to July 12.
It was so voted.
Engineer C. N. Wood’s report on the~
four bridges at Broad River was then
read. ’ I
Frank Leonard presented a resolu-
tion that 93,000, or so much thereof as
should be necessary, be appropriated
for the rebuilding of the two last
bridges.
On a question as to whether it would
cost $3,000, Engineer Wood said he had
not estimated, and Gen. Olmstead
moved that the matter go over to the
adjourned meeting which was carried
and the meeting adjourned.

Little George Lane Falls On
the Rocks at Allen Betts’
Pond.
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.
If the Loire Sufi'erer Lives 1: wm Be a
Miracle. a
Georgie, the four year-old son of
James Lane of Union avenue, met with
an accident Wednesday at 'Allen Betts’
sawmill pond that willlin all probability
end in his death.
Georgie in company with his older
brother John and Selleck Andrews,
John and Bennie Mosher and Joseph
Hendrickson went to the mill pond on
Cannon street about 12:30 o’clock.
After arriving at the pond the older
boys procured a boat and went paddling
about leaving little Georgie playing
about near the mill dam.
Suddenly the little fellow was seen to,
trip and then pitch headforemosty/
the bank upon the rocks below.
The boys in the boat h‘astily put for
the shore, and when they reached the
scene of the accident and saw Georgie
lying motionless on the rocks with his
face covered with blood all took to their
heels and ran for home excepting his
brother John, who went to his assist-
ance and then gave the alarm.
Tender hands soon picked him
and carried him to the house of Robert
St. John, where it was at once seen
that the services of a physician
necessary. '
Micheal Hayes, one of L. J. Reynold‘s
expressmen, kindly offered to take the
injured boy home and he was placed
in his wagon and carried to his father’s

ness in this city. stated that in 1 04 he
thought that there was a falling off in

ment of differentials before the interstate

chants favored the railroads against New
York. He spoke of the advantages which
Boston shippers obtained in the way of
fav01s in insurance and stomge, consti-
tilting a diffe1entia1 against New York.

raihoads make confidential rates with
Boston brokers, and which eliminate the
terminal charges. In the general volume
of business, as for as the grain trade is
concerned, the witness tmtificd that in -
his opinion New York has declined rath-
