Mr. Waterbury Is one of the oldest if the officials of the Consolidated rail‘ road in term of service. in 1867 he be- am his life work as a clerk in ihe em- ploy of the Naugaillck railroad. 'l‘hen ‘le became a conductor on the road. and continued in that work for five veers. Afterward ho was sent to Wa- terbury, where he was ticket agent and, baggage master. From there Mr. Waterbury wont to the Air Line railroad, then in process of construction. He remained with this road in charge of its motive pow- er until its completion live years later. Mr. Waterbury then went to the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road and became a ticket agent in New York city at the 27th street station. This was before the removal of the steam railroad tracks from New York city below Forty-second street. in 1876 he went to the Hartford division of the Consolidated railroad, and re- mained there in various capacities for ten years. For some of this time he was the agent of the company at Belle dock. ill 1885 he was appointed superinten. dent of the Air Line division of the road. a position he has filled with much acceptance since. Two years we the Northampton division was in- cluded in the same superintendency with the Air Line and since that time he has handled both. He was ill lbout a year ago. and since‘tnat time his health has not been cf the best. There is some talk in railroad circles now, regarding the appointment of successors to some of the officials, in the changes which have come about on the ”Item of late. and there seems ‘o be an impression that in some cas- ls “assistant dildsion superintendents will become things of the past. this is In the interest of economy. C. Pc- ter Clark. the general superintendent of the eastern district of the system. leaves the road on July 1. There is also a district superintendent to be named in the place of District Superin. tendsnt McAiplne. of the Providence division, deceased. In the natural course of things there would also be an asalstantvsuperintendent appointed to Mr. ,Elwell’a newly vacated position on the Shore Line division, but some believe that in the interest of econo- , my the entire duties of supervising the S Line road. including the Nor- wic and Worcester division, will fall upon Superintendent Trumbull alone, hereafter. it is pointed out that only recently when Superintendent G. W. Beach retired from the superintenden- cy of the Naugatuck division, the lat- ter was included under one superin- tendency with the Berkshire. and Sup erlntendent Hopson was given the care of both. Other divisions of the Consolidated system may'be thus con- solidated in the future. The tenden- cy seems to be toward concentration. TELEGRAPHERS WAGES RAISED. Voluntary Act on Part of consolidated Railroad That Is Appreciated. in the recent conferences between the Consolidated railroad and their employes over adjustment of wages and other matters the telegraph oper- ators, to very important part of, the working force of the railroad. was not directly represented and made no de- mands nor requests for increased whges. When the for the ofiioia of the company they wele told that all classes of employes would be considered in the readjust- ment of conditions. and where it was found that less than the prevailing rate of wages were being paid in- creases would be granted. The company has kept its promise in this respect, and while not yet oili- cialiy announced to those directly in- terested. it is learned that an increase of wages, to take effect at once, has been. granted to the telegraph operat- ors __and all along the line the wages equalised so far as possible. The men are ,much».pleaaed .at the result. dThey cer- tainly deserve the good fortune which has come to them. . Commencing with Saturday the wag- es of the operators will be $2.36 per day for the first tour of duty from 8 a. m. till 4 p. m.. and 82.25 for the two tours from 4 till 12 p. m. and 12 p. m. till 8 a. m, The old rats paid was 82.25 for the first tour, 82.00 for the second, and 81.90 for the third, so that the new rate is a- substantlal increase. This Increase xiii affect the operators all along the .ne. it has also been learned that the lamp men. lie-called. and the lever men. will also receive an increase averaging about 10 per cent. Tbla has not been omcially confirmed. butts ac-‘i cepted by the men as being true, and there is practical'y no doubt as to the correctness of the statement. . The local ‘men employed as opera- tors are immensely pleased with the company“ action in voluntarily In; creasing their wages "and will endeavor to show that they appreciate what has been done for them. . , .

He was wei|~known here, more especially to rhls activity during the recent gathering of the New York East Conference. Dr. Downey is an eloquent speaker. and has the faculty of presenting clear-cut concise statements of facts. which make it a delight to hear him. He said he felt very much at home In the church. The gathering seemed to ‘iim liko’a session of the New York East Cohference. He was glad to have the cities of Norwalk and South Nor- walk (he had been told he was tread- ing on dangerous ground) unite in the plan to entertain friends from other places., His topic. he said. was Some mplicatlons of Christianity. and a short definition of Christianity had been handed down in the statement zhat “religign is the life of God in the 300' of man." The life of God does on- er the soulcf man in many forms. and f a man gains a good character through honesty and right living. he has achieved the very highest possible success. but if he gets things and has not the character he is a failure.
