Hoyt Hso Two Congo Exoevst up for New Main. Contractor Dudley E. Hoyt stated this morning that the work of laying the water main to Baton Point was so in: along nicely. and if there was no drawback. the pipe would be laid by the middle of next month. The pipe is expected daily from the Warren Foundry Company. of New York. This is the only drawback at present. There are two gangs of men at work digging the trench. There is one gang at the Baton Point and. work ing north. and another one working south. The latter workmen have about 1,500 feet dug and the others have about throe- quarters of a mile completed There are three miles and a half to do. When the pipe arrives, Morris Nor- ton will have charge of laying it for Mr. Hoyt. Two gangs will also be put on this work and they will lay from both ends. Mr. Hoyt says that he has placed lanterns along the trench about a week now and each night someone has stolen some of them He intends to have. the trench watched and see if the thieves can be captured. MILK Till BE HIIHEH Retail Dealers Around the Stats Get ToLeiher. Ni] INBREISE Iii NilRWIlK YET They Have Decided to Stop Cutting of Prices and as High as Ten Cents 3 Quart May he Charged In Some Places. Thus for the retail milk dealers of The Norwalks have not followed the example of the dealers in other cities of the state and raised the price of milk. Milk is scarce. in this state and In fact throughout. New England. Ow- ing to the increased price of grain it costs the farmers more to produce milk than in previous years and it is possible that the price may go up here. In Merldcn the dealers have held one meeting and discussed prices. Some dealers favored eight cents while othersadvocated ten cents as the win. ter price. The dealers of the eastern part of the state have already raised the price one. cent per quart. in New Haven the average price at the present time is about six cents.- The winter price is supposed to be sev- . e11 cents a quart there but there is more or' less cutting. and while some dealers get the maximum otheis out under- In places where the price has been raised all the retailers are hand- ed together to maintain a regular rate. it is probable that the New Haven dealers will combine soon to stop the cutting of prices. ...———... -—.—— ” FIREM EN EAT TURKEY.

The Pioneers also had a turkey sup- per. after business matters were dis- posed of. No business out of the or- dinary was transacted by the latter company. STREETS WERE BLIPPERY. The thin coating of ice on the streets this morning was just sufficient to prove troublesome to horses and pedestrians. and it was with dimculty that either could progress. The horses were taken "unawares. very few of them having been sharpened this ‘fall. and there was a great rush for the blacksmith shops and in a few minutes after daylight every shop was full. and the smltbiee saw enough work in sight to keep them busy for several days. The expressmen did not attempt to do any work this morning. as all their horses were smooth shod. EXPECT TO OH? 0100 LIIRAHY.

THE FREIGHT TRAFFIC. em Heaviest the Consolidated Has Ever Known. “At. the present time there is great or activity in every branch of the freight department of the Consolidated railroad than i ever have known." Iald 'tll official of this department. "The amount of lmslness we are now doing is unprecedented and we are greatly taxed to get it all through in anything like schedule time. “Railroad freight always was heavy that before the holidays. and then there is a perceptible falling off. but the present rush is not the usual holi- day business. The holiday freight is on hand in large Quantities. and then the; company is doing an extraordin- ary large business isrespective of the holiday stuff. “The congestion due to the strike has been broken and freight trains are now moving with the regular schedule though some difficulty has been found in getting crews to man the numerous extras that are being sent out from this city and that are received here. “Within the past few days the rail- road has employed a large number of new men in order to send the freight through and the regular . men have been requested to do much overtime work. 111 many instances a local crew would return from their regular run and immediately be sent out on an extra train."

December i—Benan tor Burrows today introduced a bill “To provide for the exclusion and de- portation of alien anarchists." The first section of the bill Is as follows: -"Thst no alien anarchists shall here~ terbo permitted to land at any port f the United States or be admitted in- to the United States but this prohibi tlon shallnot be so construed as to at)- ply to political refugees or political of- fenders other than such anarchists" The second section directs the spec. it'll board of inquiry authorized by the immigration laws to make diligent in- veetigaton concerning the antecedents of any alien seeking admission into the United States who is suspected of be- ing an anarchist. authorising the board to even go to the extent of examining the person of‘ suspected aliens for ma'rks indicative of membership in an- srchistlc societies.

Claims He Was Defeated by Mayor of Waterbury By illegal Ballots. Judge Cowoll, Republican nominee for mayor of Waterbury. and who was defeated in the city election. held in October. by E. G. Kilduif has given notice that he would appeal to the courts for I. recount of the ballots cast in the election. The agitation for a recount has been going on in the newspapers since It came to light a fortnight ago that the Democratic bal lots cast in the Third ward were not printed in accordance with the. form prescribed by law. Kilduif's plurality over Cowell was 442. it is claimed by the Republicans that the 791 Democratic ballots cost In the Third ward were illegal in that they read "lj‘or Town Clerk." instead of simply “Town Clerk. " as demanded by the election laws. if these 791 votes were thrown out It would mean the election of Judge Coweli by a plurality of 340. It will also result in the ousting of every Democratic officer-elect with' the exception of Town Clerk Brett and Tax Collector Thomas. whose pluralities are suf- ficient to secure their election even with the Third ward ballots counted onThe discovery of the fault by the newspapers and the ensuing agitation led to the decision on the part of Judge Cowell to test the matter in the courts. The appeal is returnable before Judge George W. Wheeler in the supe- rior court in this city next Monday. ‘ lNOPlCTOR LAVTON RETURNS.
