Greater Trolley Benefits. It is butafew months ago that the opening of our first trolley line, was an event of sufficient importance not only to set all Norwalk agog, to fill the columns of all our newspapers with ex- ultant “pufis” and to induce hundreds of people to come from long distances to see and ride upon the wonderful trolley cars to try and determine wheth- er they liked the new order of street railway transportation or not. Next came Congressman-elect Hill’s double track West avenue line, and the trolley cars of the East and West avenues are now flying through our city like weav- er’s shuttles in a loom. These cars , have become so common here in Nor- walk as to have lost all novelty with our people and even the erst frighten- ed horses, now refuse the poor compli- ment of a "shy” or the least scared attention. No Norwalker now would tolerate a return to our ancient horse- our system, and the only interest felt by anybody in these lines, is limited to those living on the new highways which the coming,r Legislature will be asked to dedicate to their use. Rumor has it that the Tramway line now creeping towards-‘Dorlon’s Point, has for its real destination the Sauga- tuck depot via the old road and salt- meudows route. Meanwhile the West avenue line, it is said, purposes to ex- tend its line to either Westport or Saugatuck cm the east and thence form- ing a connection with the line now extending from Bridgeport to South- port; thence extending its Winnipauk branch to Wilton, and to New Canaan, via Silver Mine, on the North and West, and to Darien via the Turnpike, on the south. As the rights of way cost noth- ing and the tracks can be put down marvellously low and the motive power is the cheapest known to science or in- vention there is no question as to their proving profitable investments if hon- estly built and honestly bonded and stocked. Y: _ Nothing so fully indicates the change in public sentiment in regard to these trolley lines, as the multitudes of peo- ple who go out of their way and ride upon them, both for business and pleas- ure. In spite of the accidents which have occurred in other places, chiefly owing to the carelessness of those using them, in getting on or off, it still must be said that they are overwhelmingly popular everywhere. _Everybody real- izes that the trolley cars have brought with them an accession of comfort and speed in going about that was hardly dreamed of even by the most ardent friends of the new mode of transit. Competition has secured to the pub- lic low fares also. Now one can ride from Winnipauk on the north to the South Norwalk depot for the single fare of five cents, and from South Nor- walk depot to Rowayton for five cents more, or a total distance of nearly seven miles for ten cents. This is the cheap~ est kind of cheap transportation, and associated as it is with the maximum of comfort to passengers, is enough to make the old fogy croakers ashamed of their pessimistic prophecies. And yet all the advantages of the new system of transit have not been secured yet, but warm, clean and well lighted and ventilated cars, gentleman- ly and competent employees, with rapid, safeand comfortable transit, are a good deal to be thankful for and the people will be disposed to wait in patience for the other advantages which are certain to come with the new order of things, when trolley cars will run from Bangor to Boston, Boston to New York, New York to Washington and sooner or later from ' New York to Chicago. It is a serious problem as to the business efi'ect this new system is to have upon the incomes of the steam railroads of the country. 0 Cheap Bread and Coal. Aspiritedcompetition on bread and coal has broken out in PortHuron,Mich- igan, which would prove very helpful to the poor everywhere could it spread the country. Commencing there, yesterday morning, the 17th, eight of the twelve large bakeries sold bread at the ratebf two loaves for five cents. This is to meet a cut made by the others, who last week reduced the price from five to three cents a loaf. ‘ At noon, one of the four bakers cut. the price of his to two cents and as none are losing money thus far by the cut, it is now ex- pected the in xt cut rate will be two oaves for three cents. But coal has ex perienced the severest out. Hard coal in stove size is selling at $3 50 per too, a price unheard of in Port Huron here- tofore. A short time ago the local deal- ers tried to raiSe the price iron $5.50 to $5.75 per ton. One dealer refused to raise, and the cut- was made to bring him into line. He refuses to be brought to time, however, and it is expected that coal will be down to 82 if the war ‘ is not settled soon. _ -—-—-—-———<*>——~ -For smokers’ sets go to Trowbridge 6r Co.’s, South Norwalk.

This included the salar- ies of $25 each of the Mayor and Coun- cilmen, the quarterly salary of the clerk, $25 each to the Water Commie. sioners and $300 to the Assessors.

An invitation was received and ac- cepted from Hope Hose company in- viting the Mayor and Counoil to attend a sociable to be given by theoompany. A communication was received from the Water Commissioners recommend- ing that an extension of the water pipe be made 500 feet on Dover street and Prospect avenue, at an estimated cost of $250, and the Council so recom- mended. . A communication was presented by the Water Commissioners asking that a. special city meeting be called for the purpose of ordering a reservoir built at Lewisboro, on' property belonging to the city. Councilman Wheeler objected to specifying in the call the location where a reservoir should be built, and made a motion that a meeting be called on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 27th, at 3 o’clock, to take action in the matter of an increased water supply for the city, and it was so voted. The report of Chief Engineer Prowitt was presented and. after being read by the Mayor was ordered on file. The report showed that the department had been called out seven times, during the year, of which number two were on false alarms. It also complimented the firemen, and stated the member- ship of the different companies to be : HopeHose, 25'; Fire Police, 24; Phoe- nix Engine 00., 30; Pioneer Hook & Ladder 00., 16.‘ The 108s by fires amounted to $2,800 on which there was an insurance of $1,200. ed to collect $1,700 or amount due the city from the town and turn the same over to the city treasurer. ‘ The city clerk was instructed to draw an order to the proper person or per- sons for $1,652.03 the amount of the judgment in the Sarah A. Hall case. _ Councilman Pinneo reported progress in the matter of the advisability of ex tending the sewer on Isaacs street. He also stated that his department was out of funds and asked that 3200 be appro- priated to the same. The city clerk was instructed to pursue the proper course to ensure such appropriation. ' Councilman Boyer of the finance committee was instructed to give notes for the payment of a balance of $8,043,- 69 due on the Butler street sewer con- struction. The city clerk wasordered to hurry up the railroad company in the matter of placing a gate or a flagman at the Cross street crossing. . Councilman Boyer asked if any action had been to. 'en to recover from George Lockwood, the amount awarded Sarah A. Hall in her suit against the city, and if the city had cause for ac- tion against said Lockwood. The city attorney was instructed to investigate the matter and report. The Council instructed the chairman of the finance committee to pay inter- est due by the city, and amounting to $4,993.50, at such times as it became . payable. An adjournment was then taken to Monday, Dec. 31st. ~—Our holiday goods consisting of toys, games, sleds, express wagons and novelties in fine decorated china are now ready. H. H.

The Automatic Gallows Worked Perfectly. The execution at the Connecticut the same at the next meeting of the' The highway committee was instruct- _ State Prison at Wethersfield. this morn- ing with the new automatic hanging machine was a perfect success. The executed murderer was John Cronin who was convicted of the murder of Albert J. Skinner of South Windsor. The trap was sprung at .exactly nine minutes pastl o’clock. Cronin’s neck was broken by the shock and death was instantaneous. ' Father Lynch was closeted with the prisoner for half an hour before the execution, and'atl o’clock Cronin was led out of his cage and in the presence of the Warden, deputy warden, and one or two others asked if he had any- thing to say. He replied that he was sorry for his crime and hoped for forgiveness. As to the details of the crime he had noth- ing-[more to say. , he death warrant had already been read to him, and his arms were pinionedj behind his back. - The door leading to the execution- room was then opened. and he was con- ducted to the slightly raised platform on which he was to stand. The black cap was then adjusted and he stepped on the platform. This set the machinery of the autom- atic gallows to working, and the hand on the dial began slowly to revolve. Meanwhile his legs were strapped to gether and the noose adjusted around his neck, the knot being just under the left ear. The time required was not equal to that provided for the trap to spring, and everything‘being in readiness the Warden pressed his foot on one of the automatic springs and the trap was sprung. Cronin was jerked into the air and dropped, death being instan- taneous. As Soon as Cronin’s body was out down it was placed in a plain casket and taken by the undertakers to the morgue. At daylight the remains were buried in the Blue Hills Roman Catho- lic cemetery. There were no religious services at the grave, Murderer Cronin spent his last day in his usual taciiurn fashion. Most of , the time he read Catholic books or re- ceived the ministrations of Father Lynch, his spiritual adviser. He told the day watch that he was prepared to term of years in prison. _ He would like to live he said if he could in some way be of service to those he had wronged. His half sister and her husband came to the prison to visit him, but he would not see them. He was not notified of the hour of for the night. The watch had strict orders not to disturb him until the Warden arrived to read the death war- rant after midnight. _ Early in the fall of 1893 Albert J. Skinner, a carpenter and joiner of- South Windsor, went hunting with “Jack” Cronin as his companion. As he passed along the road a neighbor greeted him and inquired: “Where’s your dog?” Skinner made no verbal reply, but nodded his head toward Cronin, who was following about twenty feet behind, as if to say, “I‘here’s my That nod undoubtedly furnished the motive which induced Cronin to mur- der Skinner on the morning of Oct. 6, 1893. On that morning Skinner was sitting in the kitchen of the onestory house in which he lived at South Wind- sor, eating breakfast with his fiv e-year. old daughter Irene. Suddenly Cronin entered the room, drewfia six-shooter from his pocket, and discharged five of its chambers. One shot took effect in the back of Skinner, who arose from the table, placed his hand to his side, exclaiming, "Oh, mother», I’m shot!” and started to go through a small halt way to the room where his wife was busy. He turned to come back to the kitchen, and fell to the floor uncon- scious. ‘ Skinner was lifted \up and- placed on the bed, where he lingered for nearly an hour, after having said that “J ack” shot him. Cronin ran away, but was found hanging about the road near by, and with great ugliness of speech and ap- parently in sullen temper. said, in reply to a question: “I shot the d— dog, and I want to go in and finish him.” .0 —Silver plated ware at manufactur- er’s prices at Sturtevant’s Bargain House. 1008 6t TERSE—TALES of THE TIMES.
