EDITOR IN A HOLE
It is reported that Editor James
Golden of Norwalk went through a
manhole and into a catch basin a few
days ago and scraped himself up quitiI
badly on that part of his anatomy com-
, monly called the shins. it is reported
that his clothes ware a sight when he
got out. .
While in nowise insinuating that Ed-
rifor‘Golden did the stunt on purpose
“we congratulate him that he now has
‘a' good. just and equitable claim
hgainst the city. and there Is nothing
so far as the evidence at hand shows
to prevent him from recovering on the
claim. Some editors are fortunate even
in adversity. it‘s an ill wind. etc.—
lThe editor was so blamed glad to
clothes that he hasn't even thought
of damages from the city or any one
else. When he was being hauled out
. of that hole by the two kind men ac-
. eompanylng him. and before he stop
5 ped on that numb and scratched and,
as he feared, broken leg, he felt
pretty good about an accident policy
which he had. So all the congratula-
tions the editor has had about pros-
pective damages, while very gratify-
, Ing, will not. produce the cash that
We would be most pleased to receive.)
A WARNING TO TRACK-WALKERS.
It is well that the New Haven road
has undertaken to deal with the uni-
, fiance.rogjhglirackfwalking which has
Mine so common a practice by hul-
Ing the offenders into court. 'l‘hree
such persons were lined, in Providence,
and their fate may serve as a warning
to others. There is no doubt that the
use of the company’s righi of way as
a footpath is a plain case of trespass.
The singular thing is that it. has been
tolerated so long. Many deaths are
attributable to thlsIcause, and prob-
ably many accidents to trains could
be traced to the acts of those who
have no business on the trucks. In
no other country In the world would
such reckless disregard of personal or
public safety be permitted for a mo

USE MORE LOCOMOTIVES THAN
PASSENGER CARS.
Upon the Pennsylvania railroads
lines east of Plitsburg there are re-
qulred' 952 more locomolives than pas-
senger cars to handle the traffic offer-
ed, according to the annual report of
the general manager just issued. There
are in service upon these lines 4,009 lo.
comotives, and 3,147 passenger cars,
the report states.
I'I'ln 1006 the number of locomotives
.‘Mum increased from 3,802 to 4,000. Of
these 205 were added to the equipment
of the Pennsylvania Railroad proper,
27 placed on the P. B and W. It. It.,
and 5 on the West Jersey and Sea-
shore railroad. Eighty-slit old locomo-
tives were sold during the your, and
43 were cut up.
The problem of keeping rullroud

it is required to come up to the high-

Lawyers of Connecticut will know
procedure in this state when the com-
mittee appointed by‘ the judges of the
supreme court and of the superior
court and of the superior court in their
annual meeting held in Bridgeport on
the first Monday of June finishes the
labors assigned to it
The committee consists of Chief Jus-
tice Simeon E. i3aldwin,,of the supre-
me Court, Justice Samuel 0. Prentice
of that court and Judge George W.
Wlieeieli Judge idlwln B. (laser and
Judge William S Case of the superior
court.
The Legislature of 1005 passed an
act which provided that the chief
justice of Connecticut appoint ... com-
mittee to codify the laws relating to
the practice in the courts of this state.
The late David Torrance was then the
chief justice of the supreme court, of

The committee met at iiilducport
shortly after appointment and it was
the unanimous belief of the commit
too that the resolution of the Legisla-
ture was unconstitutional in that it
provided that the not placed upon the
judges the duty of making laws rather
than codifying them, the latter being
the intent of the Legislature. The
judges no reported to Governor llciiry
Roberts and prepared a bill which was
introduced In the present General As-
sembly and which was adopted.
The practice act of this state was
adopted in 1879. It was prepared by
judges and provides for the rules of
practice in court. Since the adoption
of the practice not many statutes have
been enacted by the Legislature rela-
tive to court procedure. Seine ol‘ the
statutes cover the same things that
are provided for in the practice not
and the committee will decide wheth-
er to let the statutes remain or have
them stricken out by rccommcudaI
tlon to the next General Assembly. or
strike from the rule of practice the
matters that are already provided for
in the rules of practice and the
statutes, too.
The rules and forms for ihrI courts
of this state were adopted in 1880 and
there was a revision of the rules in
1809. The judges will also take into
consideration ilie rules and forms and
when the duties assigned to the com
mittee urc complclcd the practice not
and the rules and for")? will be up to

what has been done.
