Augustus (lrups, of New Canaan. was
driving up West avenue from South

box wagon loaded with barrels, behind a
team of horses, when the animals b okl

and started to run away. in front of
Peter Deckei’e residence they dashed

out. He retained hie hold on the reins
and was dragged several feet. when the
runaways overtook and collided with a

of South Norwaik. Three wheels of the
buggy collapsed with a crash as the
heavy wagonstrnck them. and in an is,

Witha grappling hook it was towed

found that Sigiried’s nose was broken.
and that death insulted accidentally from
drowning. The man was a native of

Bxplalnesl by B". w.— is. Lewis at a
'00s”: in Normal! Lust Night.
A meeting was held in the pnrlors of
the Norwsik club. last night, to discuss
the project of establishing a coffee house
in Norwalk.
Rev. W. H. Lewis, of Bridgeport,
presidrnt of the company in that city,
explained the workings of the establish-
ment. which is located on Water street.
it has eighty-live sleeping rooms, and
durlugahetkrusyeersishas ”anteb-
Iishsd over room persons have been
cared for. The first year 72,000 lodgers
were cared for. Heals can he bought for
thirteen cenmup tolwsniy live cents and
lodging in from ten cents to twenty-five
cents. There are also parlors. smoking
and card rooms. The Bridgeport com-
pany was organized with .5 000 capital
and pays a dividend of ten per cent. on
the investment. The influence for the
better. Mr. Lewis explained, had been
very great. The rooms were always
clean and neat. No unclean ledger was
taken until he had taken a bath. in
Bridgeport the number of tramps had
been materially reduced. as persons
whom they sake-d for money or
food would give them coffee house
tickets lilut'nd. Last year Mr. Lewis
was instrumental in starting a
entire house in Waterbury and it was
very successful. He explained that
there was no reason why one would not
he mini in Norwelk from the start.
At present an average of 400 tramps
sleep in the tramp house every month.
Besides there is the local poor. including
many worthy young men who would
board at such a place. as the rates would
be so reasonable that it would give them
a chance to lay up a little and thus get
ahead in the world. A number of weal-
thy uitiaene could be easily interested
lit. Lewis argued. and thus a great deal
of good could he done.
A lumber of prominent citizens were
present at the meeting and are interested
in the scheme to such an extent that en-
othermeeting will probably be held. Mr.
Lewis came to Norwalk through the per-
sneslou of Rev. B. H. Watkins, who
heartily favors the project.

0' TI! "HINT Illliiol.
Undoubtedly the most important conic
mitten hearing of the present session of
the General Assembly took pine; yestsr
day, when the committee on railroads
heard the argumentsof the. Consolidated
road in opposition to the petiltine of the
various electric roads throughout the
state. where the tracksof such electric
roads parallel the Consolidated.
The first talker was View-president
John M. Bell, of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford railroad. Bespoke
for nearly an hour, quoting facts and
figures to show the General Assembly
would workagrose iljustice if it allow:
ed theelectric roads to parallel the Con-
solidsted. and such an event would on-
doubtedly be the outcome of the grant»
log of the various petitions for charters
PM amendm his to charters which the
electric road people have asked.
In his speech, ex Judge Ball showed
that for years the' Consolidated road has
paid vast sums of money into the trees-
cry of the state of Connecticut. They
have given the citizens of the ststeand
the millions of visitors anousliy asev-
vice which is not exceeded
in excellence by any road in the
country. Millions of dollars have been
expended in improvements, both on the
roadbed and in equipment. and much
of this recently. The raid is the heavi-
est tax paying corporation in the state.
he continued. A great deal of the stock
is held by residents and taxpayers of the
state. The road is prepared to adopt
electricity as a motive power as soon as
the latest improvements incite such a
plan practicable.
Judge Hall's principal argument was
devoted to the fact first the t'lrizlylc roads
are overstepping the limits of their origi-
nal charters, which we" granted solely
for the purpose of serving passenger traf-
llc in cities and close suburban Ittfslitlfi.
and not for the purpose of running
through great desert tracts throughout
the whole state for the purpoiie of compe-
tition with the Consolidated. Another
point on which Judge Ball laid partied:
larstvseswastbefscttbatuiostcf these
electric road corporations are controlled
by citizens of other states. who come into
Connecticut and by Legislative action at-
tempt to gain control of valuable frau-
chim for the pnrpt se of using the state's
highways without paying anything for
the privilege.
Judge Hall was listened to with a
great deal of attention by the committee
and the large audience which was pres-
out. and his argument crested quite an
impression on the committee. Bis state-
ment in reference to the effect of corn-
petition by the electric roads on the
business of the Consolidated, creawd
quite a stir: Between Norwaik and line
waytnn. a loss of fifty per cent. of the
entire business; between Bridgeport and
Soutbport. a loss of eighty per cent. of
the whole bovine»; between Bridgeport
and Strstford. a loss of ’86 per day; be-
tween New Haven and Woodmont, eloss
of fifty per cent. of all: between New
Haven and West Havens loss of seventy
per cent. of all business: between Wei:
lingford and fluids». a loss of thirty per
cent; between New iiaven and
Lake Saltonetall. a loss of forty-live
per cent: between lender: and Yalcnv
ville, a loss of ninety per cent. of all; be-
tween Southlngton and Plantsville. all
of the business; between Unionviile and
Hartford, forty per cent; between Bart-
iord and Glastonbury, thirty per cent;
between Derby, Accents and Birminu-
ham. ninety per cent; between Antonie

tween Winuipsuk and South Norwalk,

charters and amendments sated for and
