solitlatod Roads.
...-.,,... «~—
Thc Danbttvy k NorwaII to be
Double Tracked at Once.
Yesterday the railroad magnum no
rambled at Hartford before the commis-
owners.
The first matter considered was the ap-
plication of the New England Terminal
company for an order condemning tin
acres of land at \Vilson‘ a Point, belong-
ing to J. Bernhard and wife, and who
don't want the land taken, and who were
represented by Attorney liurlburt, of
Nurwalk. President Starbuck said that
the land was required for a large number
of additional tracks needed to accumu-
datc the immense western business that
would soon come to the road in conse-
quence of contracts recently made. At
least one additional pier was to be built
immediately, as large stiam vessels
would be constantly there rtcciviug
loads.
1: )lllfll’l W. ll. Stevenson emphasized
the caution that a large line of steam.
era was soon to run between Wilson' a
Point and New 8 ork and numerous oth-
er ports. Every foot of land asked for
was needed for tracks immediately. The
probable cost of changes would be about
$100,000. Three years hence a large
amount of addttionnl land would be
made. immense contracts had already
been completed and eight or ten new
steamers had been bought.
The application of the llousatonic Rail-
road company fur authority to increase
its capital stock Si 500 (Ill), or such other
amount as may be necessary, the object
being to purchase leased lines and build
let'n'tltms from Bridgeport east ti the
Derby tracks and west to the l‘anbury &
Nor-rail: tracks was next considered.
\V. ll. Starbuck said that under the ex-
Isting charter of the road branches ex-
ceeding ten miles in length could not be
built. [its company desired authority to
build branches at least thirty miles long,
many branches being contemplated. The
enormous contracts already executed
made it nlnolutI-ly certain that the lion-
satanic railroad would be double tracked
its entire length. During the past year
the company hail piid $17,000 in taxw-e,
and during the next year the centim-
plated improvements would double that
amount. Colonelb'tI-t'ccson said a dc-ubl.-
track extension twenty- ~cven mileslong
would be built from a point In Orange-t i
Norwalk and would cost $2,700..000 the
intention being to In1lro everything first
class.
Jane 2 L. Bostwick said that the lion-
satonic road must soon be double track-
ed, and that a double track must be laid
on the Danbury & Norwaik braces at
once. All the lumber traffic from the
north and south would soon be diverted
to the llousatonic line.
In reply to a question by Commissioner
\Voodruff, Attorney Baldwin adimtted
that no charter had been grantrd fixing
a mminm amount for the capital stock;
the sum had always been deficit-iv wtat‘
ed. If the commission would consent,
the company would be pleased to have
the amount fixed at $6,000,000. The Hon-
eatonic was the only road in the state
restricted from extending its lines more
than ten miles. This restriction was in-
cluded in the charter, and in his opinion
was not removed l y the general statute
passed since, giving railroads authority
to make indefinite extensions.
'l'hc Consolidated Road.
At 1 o clock the application of the
Consolidated for' Increase of capital s ‘cck
was heard.
Preaident Clark said it was desired to
provide for the bonded and floating in-
debtedness amounting to four and one-
half millions, and that the phenomenal
increase of passengers and other traffic
made it seem to the directors unwise to
longer delay from double tracking and
otherwise improving the road.
In the state of New York the work of
double tracking the road was substan-
tially completed. The,,cmtof4hat m-
provement had been large and had creat
ed a debt. It appeared that it would not
be wise to motions improvements faster
than the yearly surplus would warrant;
neither would it be fair to the atockhold
on to do so. The company had come to
a fork in the road and could not stop or
continue. If it continued its capital
stock must be increased. Regarding the
proposal to purchase leased lines, Mr.
(Clark said that the company had no in-
tention of devoting any portion of the
new capital stock, provided such was Is.
,for purchasing parallel roads or
roads with which connection would be
made. He desired that pointtobadla-
tinctly understood. a rent rolls for
leased lines amounts to $940,000 and
when practicable it waadasirabls to make
a direct purchase of all lines held under
a perpetual lease. An increase of capio
tal would protect the interests of stock-
holtkrs and would insure proper accu-
dation to the public. ThaNaw Yin-k
division should be tour tracker! and the
Bhwcnnsdivlrica ought tchadoahla
tracked at once. and the company ex.
NM that the Legislature would cut»
round the proposition to issue new stock
with such limitations as would amply
protect old stockholders. it would cost
88.000.” to lay additional tracks. A
settled policy should bedsllned. one that
would make it possible to proceed safely.
Mr. Robinson said it was not proposed
to moon single share of stock for lean
than 0100. The basis for exchanging
stock of leased lines for new stock would
.Aava to be determined on a satisfactory
basis. The precise amount to which the
stock should be increased had not been
fully determined, but it ought to be quite
large, probably thirty, forty or sixty
millions.
Mr. Clark said he desired it understood
that it was not the wish of the directors
to change the constituency of the com-
pany. it was proposed to issue the new
stock iii small lots, as the money was
needed, so that the people of Connecti-
cut could continue to own the road. lie
deprecated the practice of some roads in
issuing new stock to beabaorbed by com-
binations. It had not. and so long astbe
present management continuced, never
would be, the policy of the company to
proceed in such manner.
At the request of the commissioners.
l‘residi-nt Clark and Mr. Robinson will
prepare and submit a bill contemplating
the legislation asked for Monday.

. An Isaac-diam Favorable Showing.
The report of Secretary Lind-Icy, of
the state board of health, for November
contains the following general remarks:
There was only one small town in the
state (Woodstock) from which no report
has been received. The total deaths re-
ported in Nowmber, viz: 850, and the
total in October, 950, shows a dimin‘uhed
mortality of 110 and a death-rate of 13.9
against 10.7 of the previous month. The
difference is this very largely to the
diminished fatality from typhoid fever,
* diarrhwal diseases and consumption. in
October there were 63 deaths from ty-
phoid fever, and only ‘20 in November.
and there were 128 in October from con-
sumption and in November only till.
From diphtheria their were exactly the
same in each month. fill. The lessened
mortality from typhoid fever is very
marked. The health of the state is ex-
ceptionally good. The death-rate is less
than in any previous month of the year.
The following 28 towns reported no
deaths during the month: Andover,
llurkhampsted, Beacon Falls. Bethlehem,

"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Will be pre-
sented at the Opera House. The Bridge-
port Standard says: Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
llyde is a drama which gives opportun-
tty for talent of a peculiar kind. As per-
formed last night in Hawes' Spera House
by Mr. Davidson. the double role of good
Dr. Jekyll and fiendish Mr. Hyde was a
very successful portrayal of the two ex-
tremes of character. A love .story is
woven in to brighten the otherwise and
arteries. Tito sensational situations are
those which reach the heart and which
cannot be fittingly described here. To-
night this very curious drama will be
repeated and it will, prove entertaining
to a large audience if all readers of the
rtriry go to witness its dramatization

Christmas Night at Music Mail.
"In his Power" the play to beproduced
at Music Hall Xmas night, was first pro-
duced at \Vallack’s Theatre, New York,
where it was 150 nights, after having
been played 213 nights at liondon. It
deals with the struggle between the Boy-
alirta and Republicans in France, besides
being very exciting it abounds in comedy.
The company producing the play will
be a strong one and a fine entertainment
is guaranteed. The, plot briefly is that
the heroine is married to a cold and
severe man, a republican in spirit. The
marriage being contracted by the father,
although her affections were bestowed
at the time of the beginning of the play
is supposed to be dead, but the course of
time unexpectebly makes his appearance
in disguise, and attempts to abduct his
enemy's wife and here ensues a compli-
cation which is both exciting and amne-
ing.

The New York Times says that 2,?00
cases of mistletoe have been imported
l this season. Etch case is valued at $80,
and sells from 25 cents to $1. 50 per bunch.
Now, suppose each family' In New York
that have three daughters of marriagable
age should buy one or two bundle;- and
Christmas eve give an entertainment, at
which they invite three or more mar-
riagable men, and that each of the
daughters happen under the bunch and
are kissed,_the consequence is that one
or more of the daughters will be married
before the season is over.
Looking at the figures at first, one nat-
urally thinks what is the use of spending
such on amount to keep up a custom
that has been in vogue for the last six or
eight hundred years. Making at the
question from the other side mothers
and daughters both realize the import-
ance, as it gives them a chance that only
occurs to some once a year, and any
man with cleanlinen has a perfect right,
provided he has been sufficiently urged
in the way of an invitation from the
family. to kiss the fair one under the
bongh. Now, if he does so, and does not
follow up the attack he forthwith is
crossed from the list by mama, as is not
invited to attend the festivities next sea-
son, but on the other hand,‘if he does
take ad vantage of the breach the chances
are decidedly in his favor, and he will he
invited to call.
Now, when one considers that for an
outlay of a dollar you can marry your
daughter or son, as the case may be, the
enormous amount imported ischeap at

John Richter. a water department em-
ployee in Merideu who threatened to
turn on the water in the 'reservoir into
the mains to burst them in order to in-
jure the department, has been discharg-
ed by Superintendenthnnlop, who has
warned him that he must not interfere
with any property in the department.

tampering with the gates or pipes.
Cleaning Oyster Beds.
