ing prints the following account of the
hearing on the petition of the llousatonic
road for permission to increase its stock
and amend its charter:
There were frequent tilts between the
counsel representing conflicting railroad
Simeon E. Baldwin of New
Haven, 1.. M. Hubbard of Wallingford,
and Attorney Ilurlburt of Westport, ap-
peared for the Ilousatonic Railroad com-
pany, while Judge Lynda llurrison of
New Haven, and Ilniiry (7. Robinson of
Hartford, were on hand prepared to show
why the petition should not be grantEd.
Mr. llubbarrl read the petition and ex-
plained its meaning to tha'mernbers of
the committee. llosaid that the flout-s-
tonic road wanted its out ital stock in.
crease] $1,500,000 in order to build
branches and purchase such railroads as
it now controlled under lenses. The road
already had authority under its charter
to build branches of ten miles more or
Ilse. but their was a question whether it
could take advantage of the general rail-
road law primed subsequent to its charter,
grunting power to railroads to build
branches without limitation of distance,
On this account an amendment to its
charter was desired by the company.
I’ft‘filtIv-iil, William II. Starbuck of the
“Oll‘lfllfilliC road Wits called and stated
that it was, absolutely necessary for the
‘rntid to butlil branches exceeding ten
miles in length. The trouble was [flirt
the Consolidated marl refused to grant
1 the lluiisatonic the facilities it required
fluitli for freight and passenger traffic.
The dilliculiy in handling frieght was
the want of an outlet. The parties he
repnn‘sented had invested from $3,000,000
to $1,000,000 iii the Ilou-atonic, Uanbury
'and Norwnlk and New Haven and Ilerby
roads, and $1,000,000 had been put into
facilities for transporting freight to New
York during the past year. '
"We feel that we have got to have a
mad through to New York.“ he continu-
enl. “Wu want a through railroad to do
otrr business. We can't manage and de-
velop our business without a branch rail'
road to Ilanbury and Norwslk. We're
compelled to have the road in order to
protect ourselves."
' Up to this point Mr. Starbuck gave his
testimony with composure, but after
Judge Harrison took him In hand for the
cross-examinat on he lost his self-control
and was at titties very much rattled. Ile
admittud that he had never been over the
of the proposed branch from
Bridgeport to Norwalk, did not know its
length or any of the details relating to it.
In reply to repeater] questions he said
that it was also intended to extend lb.-
~linc from Norwalk to the New York
state lure. The object was to get front
llrrilgvp-rrt to New York by the shortest
feasible route. At the state line a con-
n. ct:nn would be made With a road lead-
vsriety supper, to b.- held next Tuesday 1 Th? WINTHHIHH TI'If’itHH“ l" 3 Cfi'itfliml ing into New York citv.
.‘Ir. Harrison here called thc attention
of the committee to the fact that the evi-
dent object of the petition as developed
by Mr. Starbuck's admissions, was not to
build a branch but to parallel the Consol-
idated I’Ur'ld.
"I do not hesitate to say," excitedly
' l "The Runaway Wife" is a beautifully . exclaimed My. Starbuck,"tliat weiotend
to go to New York, We‘ve got the man.
ey to go there, and We’re going, too ’r"
"What route do you intend to follow
to the state line i" asked Mr. Harrison.
“1 don‘t know as it is any business of
the Consolidated road," was Mr. Star-
buck’s reply.
“But it may be to the state of ‘Conpec
ricui," sharply interposed Mr. Robinson,
“and you may live long enough to find
it out."
"Yrs, arid the Consolidated road may
find out that it. does not own the whole
earth, although it owns a good pz‘rt of
four states," said Mr. Baldwin. “We are
now upon a small part of the earth that
is owned by no railway. I object to the
question.”
Mr. Starbuck continued: “Our ulti-
mate object is to connect , with a rail-
road leading into New York city, but
now it is only a question of a branch
going to the state line. At some future
time we may ask for the franchise of
the New York and Connecticut Air Line
road and then will be ready to answer
questions regarding our route.”
“So much the more reason why we
should know now by what route you are
going to the state line," said Judge Har-
risen.
The committee, however, ruled the
question out for the prcsent.
llir. Siarbuck was their questioned in
regard to the additional freight facilities
provided for the Housatonic road during
the year, the expenditure of the 81,000,-
000 referred to in hls direct testimony
and his charge that the Consolidated
road refused to meet the Housatonic's
demand for freight and passenger facili-
ties. Tiie witness frequently lost his
temper and refused to answer questions,
professing ignorance of the details of his
road’s management or referring Mr.
Harrison to William H. Stevenson for
information concerning them. '

Letters.
Mrs. Charles W. Peasc, of Bridgeport,
has brought suit for divorce against her
husband, who eloped with one of the girl
clerks in his store and is now supposed
to be in Denver, Col. The curious part
of the affair is that long after the slope-
ment he kept up a constant correspond~
ence with his wife, the letters being very
affectionate. He had taken the girl from
his store to New York,*wbere, as he told
his wife, she was wanted in a branch
store he had started there. When
last Mrs. Pense’s. . suspicious
were aroused she set on foot
an investigation, which disclosed
the fact that her husband had started no
store in New York and that he and his
paramour were not in that city. Howe
and Hummeli, the legal firm to which
sheintrusted her case, ascertained that
Passe sent the letters from some western
town to a friend named Newcombe, who

lies window. A friend released her from
the unpleasant position and she now car-
ries a card with which to identify herself.
Bridgeport can beat that story, says The
Bridgeport Post: A colored woman
called on a real estate agent here to rent
a tenement. The agent asked her who
sent her and she replied that her husband
bad. “What is your husband's name?"
asked the agent. Tire woman began
feeling in her pocket, and after quite a
search replied: “Well, boss, i had his
name on a piece of paper which I put in
my lwcket, but I declare to God I done
gone and lost it!" She had to go out and
look up her husband to ascertain his
name.
A \VINDSOB MAN'S MEMORY.
Ila ’lellri About a Remarkable Winter
Seventy-Three Years Ago.
A New York World special says: “W.
II. Meigs, 31, of Windsor, says the mild-
est winter of his remembrance was that
of 1815-16, which was springlike all
through, without frost or snow of any
amount. Dandelions were in bloom all
winter, pond lily leaves took the place
of ice in the ponds, while the boys
longed in vain for skating and went
barofooted on sunny days. The follow-
ing summer was fully as memorable,
there being snow storms which killed all
the crops out of ground. The corn was
twice destroyed. Snow squalls were not
infrequent that season. and in the sub
umn the harvests madea mighty poor
showing. Large quantities of corn were
shipped from the south and with other
agricultural staples brought a large sum."
