Till! RAILIOAD HEARING.
Norwnlk's Demonstration Yastsrday in
Favor of the flousatoulc.
A special train of the llousatouic ltttil~
road Co. took a delegation of between
:llit) and 400 to Hartford yesterday to be
present at the hearing for an increase of
its capital stock. The Palladium reports
that this delegation swarmed over the
capitol and immediately after adjourn-
ment of the house seized the seats of the
representatives, eager to listen to the
proceedings before the railroad commit-
tee. lit-Senator Ililloccupied the speak-
er‘s desk and informed the committee
that he desired to formally present. the
visitors to them. The committee object-
ed to such proceeding. Editor Maplcrof
the Norwalk Hour and Attorney Hurl-
burt of Westport urged the committee to
listen to ex-Senator Hill, and stated that
the senator also desired to present the
petitions of citizens of l-‘sirfield county
asking the committee to report favorably
on the petition of the llousatnnic com
pany. After a long consultation the
committee announced that it was ready
to proceed.
Senator llill then lormttlly stated that
he desired tn present the petitions men-
tioned.
Judge Harrison tilrj-‘Clt‘tl to the recep-
tion of the petition in this irregular way
until opposing parties had linen given an
opportunity to examine it. [to remark-
ed that never before in the history of
Connecticut. legislation hitd petitioners
attempted to present it petition in such a
manner.
Senator Graham, acting as spokesman
for the committee, said that the commit-
tee considered the proceeding irregular
but had decided ti accept the petition
without remarks.
Senator Hill said he had intended to
make a brief speech but inasmuch as the
committee had ruled otherwise he should
present his spee:b in manuscript with
the petition.
Senator Graham said the committee
had decided not to receive a speech,
either written or oral, but would give
the petition due consideration at the pro.
per time.
Senator Hill said the petitioners whom
he represented appeared solely in the in-
terest of themselves. They had nothing
to do with either the petitioners of the
llousatonic system or the opponents to
the system; consequently they simply
desired a hearing.
Mr. Robinson, counsel for the (InnsolL
dated road, said the opposition had no
objection t ) having the petition heard.
Senator tlrsham said the committee
had assigned a hearing on the petition of
the llousatonic system and consequently
could not entertain an outside matter,
such as Senator Hill had said he represo
ented.
Senator Hill again urged the commit-
tee to give him a few utinutes' time, and
finally the committee consented. He
read a strong plea in behalf of the grant-
ing of the Housatonic system, and said
the people demanded another road to
New York. There would be no danger
of consolidation if another road was
built, for the people needed another road
and wouldsupport it. The Consolidated
road was a good road and was well man-
aged. erpecially in its legislative depart-
ment, but another road was needed.
Attorney llurlburt presented the peti-
tion of citizens of Norwalk upon the
same subject, but without remarks, and
Senator Graham said: “I believe the
committee can now proceed with the re-
gular business before it." A recess of
five minutes was taken to allow counsel
to confer and at the end of that time
Judge Harrison read resolutions paned
by directors of the Housatouic road re~
ferriug to the issuing of stock and laid
them in as exhibits; also annual reports
of the Housatonic railroad directors from
1860 to 1889, one or two years excepted;
also time tables of that road issued at
different dates and time tables of the
Consolidated road also issued at different
dates, advertised passenger rates of the
Housatonic road, a statement of passen-
gers canted in drawing- room cars of the
Housatouic company over the Consoli-
dated road in 1838, astatement of pas
sengers carried between South Norwalk
and Bridgeport during 1888, and a state-
ment showing pampgers carried from
New York to South Norwalk to connect
with the Honsatonic system, and from
South Norwalk to New York, connecting
with the same system.
Another exhibit showed that during
the year 1887 General Ticket Agent
Hempstead of the Heusatonic road is‘
sued 8 590 different forms of tickets for
the accommodation of the public. One
or two other exhibits were laid in.
A long discussion between counsel
took place when the question of limits-
tion of time for arguments came up.
Attorney Perkins of Hartford gave no-
tion that he wanted to argue on the it-
legal issuance of stocks and bonds by the
Housstonic, but Attorney Cass demand-
ed to know whom he represented. Mr.
Perkins was unwilling to publicly dip
close the names of the Honsatonic's
stockholders whom he represented, and
the committee decided that it would suf-
fice to disclose the identity of his clients
to the committee. ' It was finally agreed
the arguments should begin at 1.30 to-
day ln the senate chamber, and that each
of the six lawyers interested, three
against three, would be limited tonne
hour. -

The New Haven New made public
Monday what has been for some time
known to it considersblecircle who have
held it in confidence. that Governor
Bulkelsy has offered to the lion. Nath-
aniel Shipman the chic! jusllcmilllp of
Connecticut. After careful considers.
tion Judge Shipmau has declined the
office. He is now United States district
judge, which is a life position with half
ply pension when the judge retires from
active service, anti J udgc Shipmun is 00

term of eight years as chief justice of
Connecticut. and then he would be pruoo
tically shelved at sixty-eight years of
age. It would involve greater personal
sacrifice than should be asked, and its
has declined.
Judge Shipmott would make an ideal
man for the position. He is it judge by
nature as well as training—it man of the
best legal qualities, the highest integrity,
sound judgment and large and clear
views of things. No better selection
could have been made iii the slate, and

Our South Norwutk 1'. at titties.
Not more thana dozen of Mr. Cleve-
land's postmaster nominations have been
acted on and approved since our last, and
the new South Norwalk postmaster. Mr.
Snyder, is still at the bottom of the heap.
There is no purpose on the part of the
post office committee to needlessly post-
pone these appointments, however much
purpose their was on the part of the Pro-
sident to crowd them in in advance of
his successor‘s inauguration. it is sim-
plya physical impossibility to take up
and properly examine all later nomina’
lions. Had Mr. Snyder's nomination
been promptly sent up the day Postmast-
er Dunning's commission expired it could
easily have been acted on. and, no there
would probably have been no just close
for a refusal to confirm bin, our sister
city could have enjoyed the luxury of a
democratic postmaster for fotir years.
But, as in so many other in-vnncns. Mr.

will be the turn of the republican candi-
dates to become deeply anxious over the
situation. The candidates thus far stated
are Postmaster Dunning as his own suc-
cessor. Major Charles I). l) ity and “Dan"
Millard. It will be a dog and fox race
with the dog a "leelle" in the lead.
The Post here says the democratic,
posters-tiers throughout the country ap-
pear to be making an unorganized attack
upon the post otlice department in order
to secure additional help and additional
allowance before the advent of the new
administration. This is especially true
of important offices where removals are
most likely to be earliest mud". The
corresfwndcm‘e on this subject has been
almost overwhelming. as the democratic
postmasters seem to think that the do.
partment will be generous to them from
the fact that it vtill he companions in

'lhe "at Trade.
Reports from the manufacturing cen-
ters are more encouraging than last
month, and things are decidedly picking
up. Rum! buyers frontal! parts of the
country are in the market in force, and
between the regular city dealers and the
representatives from out of town houses
they have a busy time making, breaking,
and occasionally keeping engagements.
,We cannot learn that any very heavy
but there is a
general expression of good business ex‘
pectatious for the future and a pleasant
retrospect as to the Fall business.
The early issue of the Dunlap but had
its effect in enabling the factories to fill
orders in waiting, and altogether the
month looks better than for some years
past. It may safely be counted, how-
ever, that an early trade dies early, and
there is no reason for expecting anything
moae than an average business. '
In connection with the repeated state-
ments as to the great increase in the use
of imported hats during the past year
the following statistics compiled from
the official statement of the Treasury de-
partment of the imports into the United
States for twelve months ending Decem-
ber. 3tst, 1888, compared with the cor-
responding period of 1887, may be of in-
terest: Hats, bonnets and bonds and
materials for 1887, $5,493, 527 , do. do. for
1888. $5,669,169; showing an increase of
$175,642 over 1837, but, as will be seen
the classification not only covers felt and
straw hats, but hatters’ furs, audit is
therefore impossible to get at the details.
Allowmg for the sake of argument
that the entire increase is in manufactur—
ed hats of all kinds, it isavery small
amount compared with what the alarm-
ists would have us believe to be the case.
It is to be hoped that in the future a
more specific clamificatiou can be had in
order that an intelligent estimate may
be made upon this important subject.
At present it is largely guesswork. —Hat‘

Nurwttlk is now thoroughly aroused
on the railroad question, and there is an
almost universal sentiment that the
lluustttonlc company should be allowed
toinereitso its capital stock. The atti-l
tude of the Consolidated road before
the legislative committee has not helped
it with the people. Being itself a peti-
tiuner for an increase of capital there
deeruotseem robe any reason why it
should oppose another company asking
forrltosztme thing. ltlooks as though
it not only proposed to control the
through railroad "Mile of the state but
also the state legislature, and through
it prevent any competition.
The Consolidated road lost friends in
this state when it adopted its last
through system of trains and made way
stations of tbs leading towns and cities
in Connecticut iii the interest of New
York and Boston. Under its present
rttattagetut-nt the plat: seems to be to se-
cure ml-lt‘tiouitl privileges from Connect-
icut without any cottipenssting benefits
to [hit suite-to use Connecticut princi-
pally in the interest of two large cities
in adjoining Stilltul.
What has made the New York & New
Haven railroad the great and prosperous
corporation it is is the immense busi-
ness it has done at what are being made
way stations by its present plan of run.

to-day as it was two or even four years
ago, and it is therefore no wonder the
people of the town want the Housatonic
company to be granted the right of'se-
curingtltn air-ans for building a com-
peting road.
Tltt-rc is no objection to the Consoli-
dated company securing additional cap-
itnl, but there is a most decided objec-
tion to its opposition to the Housatouic
company securing its increase also.

A Startling licvolattou for New Canaan.
The Standard now comes ottt and says
the arrangement of the committee for
the selection of a place of deposit for
$15,000 of the state's money is a miscar-
riage. According to the Standard it has
been found that the appointment of the
committee was unconstitutional and in
direct conflict with the statute law gov-
erning such duties. The law provides
and empowers‘ county commissioners
with the state boards of health and
charities to select sites and locate such
homes when required, consequently
New Canaan's little scheme to cap-
ture the location of the home in that
town has fallen through, for the pres-
ent, at least. The hearing held in
Bridgeport several days ago demonstrat-
ed to the minds of those outside of the
ring that New Canaan had evidently
been virtually settled upon by a majori-
ty of the committee before the hearing
washcld. and iii view of this fact the
law governing the powers of the com-
missioners was looked up. It was found
that the appointing of acommittee to
act with the commissioners in this re-
spect was illegal, and they were relieved
front any further action'in the matter.
