That “Monstrous Injustice".
An Editorial article of more than
usual spirit and ability, which appear-
‘el in the New Haven Leader on Mon—
dry in regard to Norwalk’s Tramway
contest, has caused such wide com-
ment and interest throughout the state
that we give it elsewhere in full to-day.
Of course “one story is good until
another is told” holds in this as in all
other cases, but the effort of one Nor-
walk company to parallel the other,
was not generally approved here at
home, as either just or wise and; the
action of the, Legislature in refusing to
. allow it to be done, is accepted by
our citizens as right and proper.
The Street Railway Co’s. application
for an amendment to its charter per-
muting it to lay its tracks upon and
over" nearly every street and avenue in
the city and town, was so selfjevident‘ a
method of preventing any other line
from going over them, instead of an
honest purpose to ever use them itself,
thatit is severely condemned by our
best citizens as savoring too strongly
l 51. fishness anl monopoly.
'5‘“ as present- chief owners of the Street
Railway company, before coming into
possession of its very valuable f-ran-
were the owners of the Tramway
charter, which Congressman Hill got
enacted while state senator. This they
sold to the Tramway company and
pocketed the proceeds, and it is not ad-
judged good faith in the public esteem,
on their part, to now in any way seek
Chis”,
to cripple or injure the value of the
fr:1.11c'hise which they themselves sold to
the Tramway company.
In the hearts of all men “fair play”
wins the popular acclaim, and public
sentiment here as elsewhere will surely
in the end, correct a. 1 these threatened
evils.

Tragedy.
The death of young Ohl at Prince-
ton is one of those terrible tragedies
The Princeton
on which the imagination is almost re—
luctant to dwell, so thickly do they
seem to people the» familiar world in
which reckless and excitable youth
must move with dangers which it can-
not beItrusted to avoid. Youth’s cour-
age is so high and its recklessness is so
constant that it scouts the idea of dan-
ger; and then the moment of bravado
or exposure comes, the one fleeting, fa-
tal moment, and that is enough for the
loss of a brave young life.
And the present case is the more dis-
tressing as it partakcs so little of this
nature; it was so much more chance
and the brutal frenzy of a worthless
negro, crazed by rum. The reckless—
ness of Ohl and Cochran was no more
than the mere bandying of a word.or
two with a chance bully, whom they
left at once, and whom it was their mis-
fortune to meet again. Indeed it
"might be said that every man‘s life in
‘Princeton that night was in danger
from the drunken negroe’s pistol.
Yet to the last recollection the pity
of it will be that one grain of youth’s
fatal good-homered impetuosity which
led two high-spirited, frollicking lads
to bandy words where older men would
have passed on disregarding,
this impeluosity there is no help, nor
ever will be. It makes youth’s charm,
and in all but the hundredth chance it
is what proves youth’s salvation. It is
when the hundredth chance falls out
wrong that the tragedy is so b’tter.

“As lthers See Us.”
A'Monstrous Injustice.
[New Haven Leadei, June 10, 1895]
From all over Connecticut there
comesastorm of protest against the
action of the senators and representa—
tives whose votes last week makes it
possible for the Norwalk Street Rail-
way company to greatly impair and
possibly almost completely destroy the
"value of the Norwalk Tramway com-
pany’s property.
There is just cause for these protests.
The legislative history of Connecticut
bears no record of inch absolute and
unjustifiable injustice to property
owners incorporated by legislative en-
actment and having a right to expect
s11 ch protection f1 om the state as ordi-
nary business prudence has shown to
col imperative necessity to those who
desire to keep obligations to creditors
who become such because they had
confidence that the established policy
of the state would be adhered to,
The Norwalk Situation is not difficult
to comprehend. It requires but few
strokes of the pen to picture it com-
pletely. First—The Norwalk Street
Railway company obtained legislative
authority to lay rails from a certain
point in Norwalk lo Rotou Point. Dur-
inga period of over three years the
company failed to exercise the rights in
question because of the risk that the
investment might not prove profitable.
A few months prior to the expiration of
the time limit named in the legislative
act the rights obtained by the Street
:lailway company were sold to the Nor—
walk Tramway company, a new corpor-
ation. '
Second—Within the quickest possible
limit of time the Tramway company
laid tracks, erected poles, strung Wires
and put into operation an excellent
trolley line service, which enabled the
people of Norwalk to make quick, com—
fortable and exceedingly delightful
trips from the center of the town to
the salt water. tesidents along the
route were well accommodated, and all
portions of the road were satisfied.
Third—in order to pay for the fran—
chise purchased of the Street Railway
company, and properly build and equip
its road the Tramway company issued
bonds amounting to $183,000 and also
expended a large additional sum of
money. The bonds were purchased by
trust companies and private individuals,
who decided that the investment was
safe after carefully noting the con—
ditions at Norwalk and finding there a
population of 19,000 people with no
lion of the town in question. .
Fourth—The purchasers of these
bonds, assumed, as they had a right to
assume, that the legislature of the state
would protect those t1 whom it had
granted charter rights from the greed
of those seeking a mon0poly. They as-
sumed, as they had a right to assume
that the road in which they had risked
an investment would not be hindered in
its prosperity and development by a
legislative act passed for the benefit of a
company desiring to secure a monopoly
by the crushing rather than by direct
purchasing process.
noting the apparent success and pros-
perity of the Tramway company, which
success seemed to completely banish
the timidity which existed during the
years when the Street Railway company
owned the charter sold to the Tramway
of securing a route to the Sound and
therefore applied to the legislature for
authority to parallel the tracks of the
Tramway company and also to lay rails
in most other favorable sections of the
town that are not now traversed by a
railroad.
Sixth—The Street Railway company’s
petition for authority to parallel was
not supported before the railroad com-
mittee by A SINGLE RESIDENT OF
NORWALK WHO IS NOT A STOCK;
HOLDER IN THAT ROAD, which
fact shows clearly that there waslno
public demand or necessity for a par-
allel. The senator from Norwalk and
both representatives are stockholders
in the Street Railway company and the
senator and one representative, Mr.
Keeler, are directors in that company.
The two latter exerted themselves to
the utmost in support of: the paralleling
scheme. The other representative,
Mr. Rowan, opposed the paralleling
scheme, notwithstanding his pecuniary
-nterest, because he thought it unjust
5.0 the Tramway company and likely to
Operate to the disadvantage of his con-
stituenta.
Seventh—After a lengthy hearing the
committee visited Norwalk, viewed the
territority in question and eight of the
nine members expressed opposition to
the proposed parallel. Subsequently
and for reasons concerning which we
have no knowledge, four members
changed their minds, and with the
member who had favored the Scheme
from the first, voted to repozt in favor
of paralleling. Four members of the
committee reported against the parallel.
Eighth—The Senate, after a spicy de-
bate, endorsed the majority report,
granting unconditional authority to
parallel, and the bill was sent! to the
House.
Ninth—The people of Norwalk, recog-
nizing the great injustice of the action
of a majority in the senatc'and desiring
to defeat the paralleling scheme. held a
mass meeting and passed resolutions
calling upon their senator and‘ two
1epresentatives to do all in their power
to prevent the passage of the bills in

Fifth—The Street Rrilway company,
company, became exceedingly desirous I
DAILY- NORWALK GAZETTE.
- Tenth—Then came the cunning coup
of the Street Railway company. An
amendment was prepared which was in
effects. new bill and which stipulated
that the Street Railway company should
have the right to parallel, PROVIDED
the court of common- council of Nor-
walk approved of the scheme. The
story of how this amendment scheme
was worked through by means of one
of the biggest lobbies ever seen about
the capitol has already been told. The
provision that the court of common
council of Norwalk should have final
jurisdiction in the parallel scheme was
urged as fair “because it left the Whole
matter to the people to settle for theni-
selves.” The a1gument, as p1esented,
was sufficiently plausible to catch the
votes of scores of representatives who
failed to fully realize the injustice and
inconsistency of their action. They
forgot that they had weeks ago unani-
mously approved of the refusal of the
railroad committee to allow the court
of common council of New Haven to
say whether or not additional streets of
this city shall be occupied‘ by street
railway compames; they blindly fell
into the trap the Norwalk Street Rail-
way company’s lobby had set for them.
Eleventh—The bill as passed by the
House 'will come before the Senate for
action again during Tuesday’s session
the House amendment having changed
its character in one or two trifling par-
ticulars. If the Senate does its duty to
the city of Norwalk; if it iegards to
any reasonable extent the o ligation of
the state to protect the security of
times whose money, loaned for the
purpose, has made it possible to build
the Tramway compunys rival and great-
ly benefit the people of Norwalk and
enhance the value of property in that
cit-y it will kill the p.1ralleling bill by an
overwhelming vote.
If this paralleling scheme i's not
killed the interests of Connecticut will
suffer. If the state d:—parts from its
long established and wise policy of re-
fusing to grant authority to build par-
allel roads, capitalists will not advance
money for bonds of street railway com-
panies. New Haven to-day has a sys-
tem of electric roads that is well nigh
perfect. Within two years a vast sum
of money has been expended in equip.
ping these reads. A very large part of
this money has been realized from the
sale of bonds. If the purchasers of
these bonds had entertained the slight-
est notion that legislative authority to
build pirallel loads in New Haven.
would be granted they would not have
bought a single bond. The evil of this
Norwalk legislation will be far-reach-
ing if it is allowed to stand.
Those who own bonds issued by New
Haven companies may be'next to suffer
if the N01 walk injustice is not nipped 1n
the bud.
The history of parallel roads bears no
record of prosperity. It is blotted and
blurred with instance after instance of
financial disaster and collapse which
has brought ruin to investors and which
has imposed unnecessary burdens upon
the public. Time and_time again has
the general assembly refused to give
adventurers, speculators and rival com-
panies authority t) paralell the Con-
solidated road. Does anybody doubt
the wisdom of these refusals? Does
any sane man believe that the Consol-
idated would today be the pride of the
state, the best read and having the low-
est fares of any road .in the country if
these refusals had not been made.
The legislature and the courts have,
up to this time in the history of the
state, refused to sanction parallel
schemes, whether they had reference to
steam or electric roads. That policy
should be continued. Nothing could
be a greater injustice or more severe
blow 11p to vested interests than to allow
such legislation as the Norwalk Street
Railway company seeks to have become
operative. The scheme to allow a court
of common council to settle such ques-
tions as are involved in the NorWalk
case is a tricky subterfuge; The court
of common council of Norwalk did not
grant the charter under which the
Tramway company was organized,_nor
the franchise which permitted it to lay
rails and operate cars. That authority
came from the Legislature, and it was
because of that authority that capital-
ists freely loaned and invested their
money. If the Norwalk Street Railway
company desires a monopoly of the
railroad business in Norwalk, it should
obtain it by purchase and not by the
aid of legislation which will enable it
to destroy its rival and the financial
value of securities held by investors
who reposed confidence in the honor
and honesty of the state.
We repeat. It will be a MON-
STROUS INJUSTICE, an act of POS-
_ I‘l‘IVE DISHONOR if the law-making
powers permit this paralleling scheme
tobereaiized 1n the manner proposed.
It is the duty of the press and the
public to protest against such injustice,
whether it be in Norwalk or elsewhere
in the state. . . .
A Collision.
An 11p car on the Street Railway,
about 8 o’clock this morning, collided
with a he so and buggy, near the Mil-
lard place. The horse was driven by a
young man named John Murphy. The
buggj, a new one, was wrecked, and
Murphy thrown out, but-he escaped in:
jury. The horse became frightened
and ran squarely across the track and
despite the fact that Motelman Tuck
shut off the lever and vigorously applied
the brake, the collision could not be'
averted- ' . - . ~

C Ford Seeley Beats the Record
by Forty Seconds-
The Events to beContln'ued at the
Fair Grounds this Afternoon.
. The fourth annual 10-miie handicap
road race of the Alpha Wheel club took
place this morning. The course was
from a point near the church Green
and was to Gregory’s Point and return,
the course being gone over twice in or-
der to complete the ten miles.
At an early hour the visiting wheel-
men and their friends began to arrive
and at times it looked as if the entire
city was on wheels. I
Decorations were profuse along the
entire course and buildings on the busi-
ness streets were decorated with the
stars and stripes. This was especially
true of the Norwalk Hotel, the head-
quartdrs of the ,wheelmen, the front of
which was beautifully embellished with
flags and hunting. In front of the ho-
tel the scene was a lively one.
The day was all that could he wished
for and the course was in fine condi-
tion, and was beautifully fringed with
pretty young ladies and their escorts.
Each rider was cheered as he passed
his friends, after which they seemed to
spurt ahead with renewed ambition to‘
win or die in the attempt.
The following is a list of the riders
and the order in whi ch they crossed the
tape:
C. K. Granger, N. Y. 29:17

The first man to cross the tape on the
first half of the race was N. F. Green of
New Haven, 8. 4m and 2s man. T. H.
Williamson and several others dropped
out on the first half.
After crossing the line and while go-
ing downlthe avenue for the last time,
Green, who evidently was a sure win-
ner of the first prize, collided with
Fred G. Smith of the B. C. Association
of New Jersey, who was coming up the
avenue on the first lap, throwing both
riders and wrecking their wheels.
C. Ford Seeley won the first time
prize, his time being 27:24 3-5; the sec-
ond time prize was won by G. Bennett
Smith; time, 275435.
The colored rider, J. H. Louder, suf-
fered a fall, but managed to secure the
box of bicycle wax for covering the
distance nearest to 35 minutes.
A rider whose name we do not learn,
was thrown from his wheel at the Point
but is reported as thoroughly enjoying
himself at Landlord O’Sullivan’s popu-
lar hostelry.
C. 'L. Pheon suffered an injury to his
arm, but pluckily kept in the race to
the end. i
The first time prize is a Columbia
racing bicycle, valued at $100; second
time prize, search light bicycle lamp.
John Bean, of No. 115 Le Roy street,
New York, who was to have taken part
in the races at the Fair Grounds this

year had been one of the most success-
ful ever enjoyed by the school, and
that with one exception the entire corps
of teachers had been re-engaged for
next year. The kindergarten had
proved a success, and suggested the en-
largement of that department of the
school. They also reported: Expenses,
salaries, $4,837.50; janitor, 486; repairs,
$315.11; interest, $440.83; fuel, $293.11;

Extraordinary Care With
Baby‘s Food Essential.
Weaning baby in summer is attended
with peiil when heat and improper
feeding conspire to derange the sensi-
tive stomach.
As warm weather comes on, children
rcquire the .most wholesome, nourish-
ing and palatable diet possible, and
lactated food should be in the hands of
every mother. Sudden changes of the
atmosphere are dangerous above all
things to infants whose digestive appar~
atus 1s out of order, and the use of
lactated food is especially to be com-
mended because of its corrective in-
fluezce in cases of uritability of the
stomach.
Then. too, the mother who has tried
weak and losing her own appetite until
she is nearly worn out, and finds‘now
that she must wean her infant while the
days and nighls are growing hotter and
more debilitating cm do so. as thous-
ands of mothers have done before, upon
lactated food.
The infant will like it and grow
strong and happv upon it. The com-
position of lactated food is simply this:
Its basis is sugar of milk; with it is
combined the digestive elements of
wheat, barley and oats, producing a
pure food which meets every require-
ment of the growing child.
There is no secret about it. It is the
food physicians use in their own fami-
lies and most generally prescribe.
Thousands of mothers have testified
to the fact that lactated food has done
what nothing else could do—saved the
lives of their little ones.
No better evidence can be offered of
its superiority than the many instances
in which fretful, peevish and sleepless
babies, as soon as put on lactated food,
sleep all night and wake up laughing.
The happy change, physicians say, is
solely due to the superior nouriShment
and satisfying qualities of this best of
foods.
It must be borne in mind that lactat-
ed food is so inexpensive that 1t is with-
in the reach of every family.

Living Whist.
"Living Whist” is to be presented at
Hoyt’s Opera'House next Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evenings. Of its
presentation in Bridgeport, the. Farmer
says:
“Living Whist” is the invention of
Mr. M. B Gilbert of Portland, Me ,
and it is unique. Under Prof. Newell’ a
management, it passed-off most admira-
bly, without a mistake of any kind. It
is an elaborate series of dances, contin’
nally changing as the play progresses.
and was executed in a style worthy of
professionals. To the, number of 52.,
' the several ladies in 'white and the gen
tlemen in evening dress—the kings and
queens wearing golden crowns and the
knaves 1n their proper attire, while the
rest of the suit was designated by the
number of pips attached to the dress—-
passed before the large audience in a
grand mulch. Then followed the
shuffle, the cut and the deal,- ihe play-
ers dividing on each side of the stage.
Feur gentlemen led and in the center
of the stage executed a special dance
and retired to their places. The whole
company Were gradually arranged in
two decks and then followed a second
grand march, etc. The audience green
ed them all with hearty applause.‘

A Good Appetite
Always accompanies good health, and
an absence of appetite is an indication
of something wrong. The loss of a
rational desire for food 18 soon followed
by lack of strength, for when the sup
:1ly of fuel is cut off the fire burns low.
The system gets into a low state, and is
liable to severe attacks of disease. The
universal testimony given by those who
have used Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as to its
g1 ea. merits in restoring. and sharpen-
inrr the appetite, in promoting healthy
action of the digestive organs, 8and as a
purifier of the. blood, constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be ,
urged for any medicine. Those who
have never used Hood’s Sarsaparilla
should surely do so thisseason.
