Substantially. the commissioners

that the structure should have a new

the sidewalks. As to the atandplpe.
they do not think its removal is justi-

not carry out its proposal for a loop

Lto a. minimum. and it was with this
ipurpose titnt this petition was brt tight.
with which purpose we are ill lit-titty
sympathy as we bolitw the managers
of the railroad also are. if we could
itlevlse a plan whereby the traffic of
ltbe railroad could pass over this bridge
tthrougli the city noiselostsly, we would
.be glutl to announce our discovery.
The clear span of the bridge is lilt‘.
lost, about 50, feet wide, carrying fourI
“racks, resting upon a wooden floor]
:t'tiltflifiiilll: of cross ties to which the'
.tl‘uck and guard rails are spiked. an'li
ilield in position by guard timbers-t,
{bolted to the ties. over which a floor oi;
lgrobved boards is placed to protect
tthe space underneath, constituting a
complete “sounding board“ Mil feet
long and 50 feet wide over which the
trains pass. This is the standard
bridge floor in general use on all rail
roads. Grouped in close proximity to
the bridge on three of the four corners:
of the. streets are buildings used for;
various purposes. confining the sound:
of passing trains within the space cu?
closed by them to the great annoy»
ance of the occupants. Nothing short
of an arched bridge of muhsonry of
concrete, filled with gravel. ttpon
which the tracks should be laid, would
reduce the noise of the traffic equal
to that in passing over an earth cm-
bunkineut. but such a structure in that
location would be wholly impractic
able. and would not accommodate nor
be tolerated by the uscds of the high-
way underneath. No known process
of deadening the sound would have
tiny perceptible effect. upon the noise
of the traffic. as the floor upon which
the traffic passes must remain uncov-
ered, resting firmly upon the iron
stringers of the bridge and the noise
of trains passing over it would not be
materially reduced. However dis-
agreeable the conditions may be. and
however glad we would be to remedy
them. we consider them unavoidable
and necessarily incident to railroad
traffic through the heart of populous
centers everywhere.
Complaint was also made to the lo-
cation of the standplpe for supplying
water to the engines. The proper lo
cation of this standplpe is near as
possible to disjunction of the Danbury
branch with the main line. where most,
convenient for the supply of water to
the engines of both lines. The pres.
cut site was selected ftir this purpose,
and the tracks have been long ago
arranged for their convenient use.
Most of the main line trains, it was
stated. take water at. ll‘owoyton and a
new water supply for the engines of
the. lianbttry branch has been estab-
lished in the freight grounds north of
the. junction. Only a limited use. in
case of an emergency, is now being
made of the standpipc objected to. and
we do not think it reasonable under
these circumstances to require its re-
moval. 4 .
Request was also made that a wait-
ing room he established on Monroe
streetnear the northerly end of the
depot. platforms for the shelter of pas
scngcra waiting to take the street cars.

psny has contemplated the construc

hath no than than this that a man lay

theme chosen was “Our Nation's He-

.Iarth is a great battlefield. There
are evidences everywhere of gigantic
struggles. The world‘s ptogress has

all the iiiflitll‘ii' battlefields. Brave

When we read of their struggles. tell
of their deeds. or recount their victor-
ies. our hearts are filled with holy
emotion. The most- of poetry has
chanted their praises; statuary has
emblazoned their fume; the sculpior‘s
chisel and the artist‘s brush have
made their deeds breathe and slow with
new life. Thry have become living

But let us remember that although
war is a cruel and terrible monster.
yet God has often used it to advance
the world.‘ Tltc oldest song is the. epic
of the sword. Many times wars have
been like the devastating storms which
have cleared the atmosphere. However
we may look upon theta, still we can
mark the progress of the world by but-
tlefields. The battle of Milvlan Bridge
secured the power of Route. to Constutr
tine who gave it over into the hands
of the lonely Nazarene whose pierced
hands sways the scepter of the world
today. At the battle of Tours the Sara-
cens were buried back from Europe
and the Bible rather than the Koran
became the basis of European civi-
lisation. The battle of Hastings placed
the crown of power upon the Anglo
Norman dynasty and became Abe. foun-
dation of the British Kingdom. At the
siege of Yorktown American indepen-
dence was secured. The battle of
Waterloo thwarted personal ambition
front setting its foot. upon the neck
of Anglo Saxon freedom. The battles
of Antietam. Donolson, Shilo. Corinth;
Gettysburg and the bloody struggle at
Apponiatox saved the Union from
doom of slavery and disruption. These
battles have been footprints. bloody
footprints. which have marked the
progress of tho world. ,
The great Civil War gave us some
great names who will ever live in the
world‘s history. . Who can measure
that great name of Lincoln. He has
risen above all hatred and strlfcs and
divisions and drawn all the people of
this nation into one strong nation.
who love and reverence his grant name
and character. "Lincoln. greatest of
our mighty dead. whose memory is as
scuttle as the summer him when retai-
era sing amid gathered sheaves. which

soldiers wrote. with their swords"

The Newark News last evening gith
this further information about the d-
cislon in the Mundhelm injunction pro .
cccdlngs: ,
“Judge Cross yesterday filed an opin-
ion in the United States Circuit Court
sustaining the demurrer on behalf of
the striking batters in the injunction
procetlings. instituted by the Samuel
Mundhelnl company. of New York. The.
opinion was filed late. yesterday after--
noon. The Mundheim company sited al-v
so on behalf of all btit the New Jersey
members of the Associated Hat Manu-
facturers of America. Judge. Cross
holds that the bill of complaint was
otnnibtts in character in the strictest
sense. and failed to establish a case
upon which a court of equity .could
grant the relief sought.’
"The original snit‘was for an injunc-
tion restraining the officers of theUnit-
ed Hatters of North America from de-\
priving of their union cards workmen
who entered the employ of the Mund-
heim company. and from cajollng
workmen away from the petitioner's
factory because of the strike. A lengthy
bill of particulars alleging specific acts
was filed. .
“The court finds it unnecessary to
discuss many of the grounds of the de-
murrer. which were elaborately argued
by counsel, basing its decision largely
upon‘the fact that it failed to show oii
the part of the defendants responsibil-
ity for the acts of the strikers, which
the Associated Hat Manufacturers
sought to have. enjoined. The Mund-
helm company was represented by
Summer. Colby and Whiting. Milton.
Dammann and William M. lvens and,
the strikers by Samuel Kelisch and
Edward M. Colic." . _

and this afternoon they started to in-
restigutc the dynamite repm‘s.
Mr. Reilly refused todiscuss the sit-
uation in the. Valley further than to
admit that the force was to be
strengthened because of certain re-
ports received. He said he would rt»

Just as the tram pulled out a striker
standing on Freeman street remarked:
"i hope the drawbridge is left open for
that crowd." A detective employed by
the Connctt company stepped up to the
striker and warned him that if such
remarks were repeated “somebody's
draw will be left open all night."
