M EADOW STREET BRIDGE.
The Consolidated Railroad Ready and Willing
to Pay Their Share.
Selectman Thomgs and Mayor Glover.
of Norwalk and Mayor Coburn of South
Nor-walk went to New Haven yester-
day aftertoon to confer with the chi-
cials of the Consolidated railroad and
learn from them the share of expense
they are willing the railroad "should
pay towards the widening of Meadow
street bridge in South Norwalk.
Messrs. Themes, Glov’er and (_.'oburn'
were appointed a committee to confer
with the railroad officials at a town
meeting held on June 28th, and are to
report at an adjourned town meeting
to be held on July 12.
The committee met Mr. Flatt, the
attorney of the railroad, and were ad-
vised that the railroad company s.ood
ready and willing to pay one-third 'of
the expense.
He expressed surprise that the ~city
of South N'Orwalk, in which the bridge
is locate d: should try to evade paying
an equal share of the expense with the
town and railroad company.
At. the meeting on July 12th, the
committee will make a full report and
one of the members submit a resolution
to the meeting.

Shell Fish Commission.
Monday’s meeting of the Shell
commission was held at the office, New
Haven, for the purpOse of completing
organization. Seth Sanford, the com-
missioner appointed to succeed George
W. Hallock of New Haven, was pres—
ent for the first time with his col-
leagues Messrs. VValdo and Swartz on
the board. George C. Waldo of Bridge-
port was re-elected president, Attor~ ,
torney A. McM-dthewson clerk, and Da-
vid C. Sanford appointed engineer.
Deeds were signed convering 2250
acres of oyster ground off Darien to
Andrew Radel and .60 acres ol’f Bridge.
port to David C. Sanford. These beds
are sold by the commissioners at the
nominal price of one dollar per acre.
There was no other business of impor-
tance fog the board to act on and an
adjournment was taken for one week.
Mr. Radel, to whom 250 acres were
deeded, is at the head of the big syn- ,
dicate which was organized last win-
ter for the purpose of gaining control
of the greater part of the oyster busi-
ness in Long Island Sound. Eva“ since
the options secured by the company
expired on the first of June, he has
been steadily acquiring oyster ground
and it is believed by growers who are
more or less familiar with the inten-
. tions of Mr. Radel and his associates in
the big deal, that they have not aban-
doned the scheme but will push it to
asuccessful conclusion next fall. An-
drew Radel is now one of the largest
owners of oysterground in New Eng-
land. A _

BRIDGEPORT, July 7.—Lineman
George F. Archambeault, employed by
the Southern New England Telephone
company, was the victim of a shocking
accident last evening. His body was
burned by electric light wires on State
street before he fell to the ground be-
low, a distance of 40 feet.
Archambeault was at. work in front
of William E. Seeley’s residence. near
the corner of Park avenue. Trees are
being cut dewn close by and a tele-
phone wire was broken about 5:30 by
a fallinglimb. Archambeault went out
to repair the broken wire. He climbed
up the pole’and disconnected the at-
tached wire. It was dropped to the
ground and he followed. After splicing
the wire, he again climbed the pole.

The ambulance was called and the in-

hospital. Archambeault was uncon-
scious. There was a dangerous frac-
ture of the skull at the base of the
brain and burns on the hands and
breast. After temporary treatment he
was taken to the Bridgeport hospital
in a dying condition. The internal in-
juries were severe and the shock was
serious. His condition would not per-
mit an operation.
The victim of the accident is 3:2 years
old and resided with his wife and child
on Madison avenue. He has been in the
employ of the telephone company for
some time and was considered an
expert lineman. It is said that he
received 1,200 volts of electricity. He
shows remarkable vitality and that he
was not killed outright is surprising.

Christian Endeavor Songs Echo In
Detroit Streets.
DETROIT, July 7.—Both of the great 0
main tents owned by the United Society
of Christian Endeavor were used last
, night for the first time during the eight-
eenth international convention. and both
contained their full qudta of 10,000 peo-
ple, and. as usuhl. hundreds of others
who failed to secure admittance patient-
ly occupied “standing room” all around
the outer edges. Many visiting delegates
from long distances came in yesterday,
swelling the number of stranger dele-
gates, it is believed, beyond'thc 20,000
mark. The convention days are essential-
ly days of song. Although the united
choir was divided between the two tents
there seemed little diininishiuent in the
volume of song or much in the number of
singers in each. As for the audiences,
their spiritual enthusiasm expanded wit
the passage of the hours. \Ve-dnesday
there “‘33 little street enthusiasm. Yes:
terday the Endeavorers honored the invi-
tation of the mayor of Detroit to sing.
Street car loads of them frequently spun
along the streets singing as they went.
Many groups sang by the wayside, aside
from those who joined the squads of
noonday workers in business houses and
factories. They sang at the afternoon
rallies and sang in the evening en route
to the night gatherings, sang with re-
doublod vigor after again assembling and
then sang their way home. ‘ ’
Ten thousand people crowded into Tent
Willistou for last evening's exercises. The
decorations of Tent Williston are similar
to those which embellish Tent Endeavor,
and fully as elaborate. President Clark
presided over the meeting, and P. S.
Foster of Washington was musical di-
rector.
TNI'FERNATIONAL EXPOSITION.
Methods of Illumination Will Be I
Prominent Feature.
PHILADELPHIA, July 7.——The ofli-
cials in charge of the agrangements for
the international exposition to open here
in September express satisfaction with
the progress made in arranging for the
power plant of the big exposition build-
ing and with all other preparatory de—
tails. Up to the present time a total of
3,500 horsepower has been arranged for,
and it is anticipated that‘when the expo-
sition is in full operation the aggregate
of all power used will be fully 5,000
horsepower and perhaps will exceed that.
One of the most novel and interesting
features of the night side of the show
will be the illumination of the grounds
and buildings. Arrangements are being
made for a great many different systems
of illuminatiod, which will be installed in
groups ash demonstration of the efficien-
cy of the various types. There will hard-
ly be a type of modern illumination
which will not be represented. This ar-
rangement will be carried out on the ex:
terior of the building and about the
grounds. .
Many propositions» have been made to

- of different kinds of lights, particularly
by those who make a specialty o£_light-
