0ur Steamboat.
The steamboat Adelpln has been mak.
ing remarkably good time the past week.
on two or three evenings she was at
her dock quarter before six o‘clock. and
even all through low water week she was
not over three or four minutes past six
at any time. which is doing very well.
but owing to the leaving time of the D.
& N. R. R. train at 5:55 it makes it very
close work; but as an arrangement has
been entered into between the steam-
boat coiiipiiny and railroad managers to
wait when n few minutes behind time.
it will no doubt. be of great satisfaction
to tho Danbtiry people. and those of the
intermediate stations to be assured of the
certainty of a connection every night. so
that they can avail themselves of the
low fare as well as ourselves. It has
been rumored that the steamboat people
intend to shorten their time in New York
by leaving earlier to accommodate the
railroad. but that would very much dis-
coniniodo tho NUl‘Wlllk people. as we
have none-loo much time now. in fact
should he lengthened by leaving at three
o‘clock. which would give better satis-
faction.

'I‘lic Slop-over Ticket system.
The first difficulty under the now stop-
over ticket system on the Consolidated
Filflil occurred on \Vedncsduy afternoon
on ntriiin from New York to New Ha-
ven. A Boston drummer named Parker
bought a stop-over tivket to New lia-
vcu. entitling him to stop off at this
place. Boarding the train again he ask-
od Conductor Hollis to give him a stop-
over check for Bridgeport. This the
conductor refused to do. as according to
the rules Parker should have got
his stop-over ticket at South Noru‘alk be-
fore starting. the conductor could not
under his instructions give it stop-over
check. Parker refused to pay any fare
and was put off the train at \Vestport.
Conductor Harris thus explains the trans-
action: .
He says he did not decline to receive
the check for a continuous ride to New
Haven. but only refused Parker‘s de-
mand for another stopover for a station
below New Haven. He told Parker
that if he wished to stop over again he
should have exchanged the check at
South Norwalk. He also explained to
Parker that. he could retain the check
and use it any time for a ride between
South Norwulk and New Haven by pay-
ing his fare to the intermediate station
at which he wished to stop but this would
not satisfy Parker. The payment of fare
which was the other alternative, being
refused. the conductor had no recourse.
provided be complied with the rules. ex-
cept to put the passenger off. In refus-
ing to accept Parker‘s tender of fare he
is supported by the statute law of the
state. which says a passenger is not en-
titled to transportation after once he has
refused to pay his fare on demand.
After getting on board at Westport the
train which follows Hollis‘s train. Parker
presented the same check to Conductor
Miner and asked for a stop-over check at
Bridgeport. Miner gave him the same
answer that Hollis had done. and Parker
then paid his fare to Bridgeport. where
he got off. and subsequently to New
Haven.
