Captain lmboden was'shot once and
Gold was shot three times. Both died

ever he pleases. By previous arrange-
ment the family can be put in prac-
tically free communication with the

The competition of several companies
is threatened in Connecticut, and this
may account in part for the enterprise
of the Swtbern New England: but it
has shown an intelligent comprehen-
sion of the needs of its patrons and has
given the state an excellent service at
low rates. It‘would be well for other
companies occupying territory in New
England to ward oil criticism and fore~
stall competition by studying the meth-
ods of the Connecticut concern and im-
proving the existing service. The
people will demsnd better and cheaper
communication as time goes on. The
day is coming when practically every
household will have a telephone. just
as it has other modern facilities. This
may seem a broad statement. but no
one can read the figures of the last few
years without seeing. how general the
use of the instrument is getting to be.
in 1880 there were 00.873 telephones un-
der rental in the United States. That
was one for every 823 persons in the
community. But at the close of last
year the number had risen to 1.124.840.
or an instrument for every as persons.
At the same rate the next ten years
will find the tele hone as ordinary a
household conve ce ‘as a furnace or
illuminating gas even more so than
the latter. for in the smaller towns
electricity is being introduced as an
lilluminant more extensively than the
older light.
The Connecticut system has great
possibilities. and otters, on the whole.
more apparent advantages than the
old-fashioned arrangement. ln Rhoda
island many improvemen have been
introduced; many wires ha been put
underground. the "measured. service”
system'has been put into operation; at
Pawtucket battery-lights for the con-
venience of customers have been in-
stalled; but the system of charging
email rentals for telephone instruments
and then exacting a toll for outside
messages had made little headway.
There are many local subscribers who
appreciate the present privilege of talk-
ing with subscribers at the Attleboroe.
Pawtueket. Woonaocget. Bristol and
East Greenwich free; but there is
another class whose use of the tele-
phone is practically confined to city
limits. This class would prefer to pay
a toll for individual messages to the
neighboring towns and get their city
service at a lower rate. There are
many householders of moderate income
in the small towns, moreover, who
would take kindly to the Connecticut
system that is to be tried at New Lon-
don and Winsted.
A comparison of the methods em-
ployed is the two states is mislead-
ing. because the companies in control
of the territory approach the problem
of rates from different points. But one
thing is certain; the use of telephones
is sure to increase. and largely be-
cause of a reduction in the rental.
Telephone directors who think their
companies are not making money
enough now may ask themselves whe-
ther their dividends might not be iar-
ger if every inducements possible were
altered to the public to hire instru-
ments. Every town in this part of
New England should be connected with
every other by telephone wires. and a
person anywhere should be able to talk
at a rcamnable price with a friend any-
where else within the limit of that
territory. Telephonic competition in
New York threatens to reduce prices
materially in that city. and a few years
hence the rates now charged in some
other localities will appear exhorbl-
taut. The New York and New Jersey
Telephone Company. it was announced
on londay. has cut down its minimum
rates for private houses from forty to
twentycfonr dollars a year. and the
general manager of the company says
that the reduction has been made "for
the purpose of further extending the
company's business. and not in antid-
patlon of foreataliing a rival com-

The report of the treasurer of the
New Haven road for the month of 0c-
her has Just been made known. The
report summarises the business on
both sides of the ledger for the month
and gives the increase in gross earn-
ing for the month as between 8200,-
000 and $300,000. The increase while
large was not unexpected. as it has
been known that the receipts of the
company were running to a great sm~
coat. The freight tramc has also in-
creased to enormous proportions com-
pared to a few years ago. The road
has. in fact. been unable to cope with
the business submitted to it in some
sections. and the increase in charges
has been proportionate.
It is said that the New Haven road's
gross earnings have been increased at
about the same rate since July and that
a still higher rate of increase is to be
looked for in the near future. At the
present rate the increase in gross earn-
ings for the present ilscal year will be
dbout “000,000, as against 3.000.000
for last year.
