Judge John at. not. vice 131th of
the Conwlidetcd read. was interviewed
icy that the Gem Assembly should
pursue with reference tothe numerous
applications for electric railway char-
ters. Judge Bulimia:
“We are not opposed to the estab-
lishment of electric roads for they have ,
their sphere and their interests should
beprotcctcd. Where electric roads are
needed they should be established, but
where electric roads parallel a
steam railroad where there is no im-
mediate demand for such a road, in—
tended to detract from the earnings of
the steam railroad to the detriment of
the latter, then summary action should
be taken. When electric roads reach
out beyond their sphere and parallel
steam railroads in sparcely settled lo~
entities, thereby detracting from the
business of the stem railroad which is
maintained at great expense, an op-
position springs tip from the road so
affected.” ' '
Judge lIall cello. attention to the fact
that the Consoliduéd road had just paid
into the state treasdry $393,000 in taxes.»
I'. was his opinion that the proper func-
tion of street rnilv‘tnys was to furnish
tballtlpill‘itllliu through the streets of
cities and their immediate suburbs.
Judge Lynde Harrison. counsel for the
New Haven system, when asked to ex-
press his views as to the proper legisla-
tive policy with reference to grunting
electric railway charters, dictated the
following statement:
"I do not think that any general rule
can be laid down, but I think that each
member should be governed by a proper
consideration of the interests of his im-'
mediate constituents, having due regard
to the general interests of the public,
the rights of others, especially adjoining
proprietors and the ground interests of
the stale.“

tary record as captain was such that
when a vacancy in the command of the
regiment occurred in 1892, he was chosen
to the office of colonel by the officers of
the re giment over all senior captains and
field officers.
His administration as commanding
officer of the regiment has been such as
to bring the Fourth regiment to the
highest record for membership and
efficiency known to its history. At the
lust encampment the rogiincnt received
the highcst commendation, both from
brigade and regular army OlllfltTi-l, for its
conspicuous efficiency in the most
important service of guard duty. His
military cxpericncc, and his training as
a commanding officer of both company
and regiment specially fit him for the
command of the brigade. His personal
culture and social qualities thoroughly
qualify him for every association con-
nected With the office.
Colonel Frost's local popularity is at-
tested by the fact that at the last elect-
ion he was chosen one of the representa—
tives to the Legislature from Norwnlk
by the largest majority ever given for
that office at that or any preceding elde-
tion. f

last night that caused considerable hues

frozen up. ‘ ’ ‘
The trouble was finally located in tit
eighteen-inch main between the his
middle reservoir and the lower one,
which. it was supposed, had burstmauc—T
ing the water to flow out of the opening
instead of coming to South Norwalk
The gates leading from the lower resets

were opened, and the city thus supplied.
The pressure, however, is twenty pounds
less than it was when coming fromthe' ,
big reservoir.
Fortunately no serious damage result-
ed, as there was some water in the pipes
and the factories had enough on hand
to feed their boilers until the supply
came back about 9:30 o’clock. Mean-
while, however, some of the shops, W.

C. S. Trowbridge's box factory had shut
