President Clark of The New York, New Haven &. Hartford Railroad Com- pany sailed for Europe on the 8th of January, intending to go to Egypt and make a long stay abroad for the resto- ration of his somewhat impaired health. During his absence Vice-President John M. Hall will be acting presrdent of the company, having administrative super- vision of the whole system. - JudgeHall..came...to_,the ...Yipe:p1:esie. dency in 1893, succeeding Lucius Tut- tle. Although then inexperienced in practical railroad management, he brought to the place a combination of peculiarly useful qualities. In the first place he was an able lawyer of large ex- perience at the bar and on the bench. He had served in both houses of the Legislature and as speaker of the lower house and president of the upper one- He had a wide acquaintance with the , people of Southern New England and knew their interests, characteristics and sentiments. While these were special and, possibly, decisive qualifi- cations, they were supplementary to a high reputation for general talent, acumen. integrity, working power and hard common-sense. It is a mistake to suppose that Judge Hall’s service has been chiefly as legal counselor of this company. While his professional, learning and skill~ have been available in the consideration of all legal questions that have arisen, this service is only one phase Of his various employment and responsibility. His work has been restricted to no special department; but has embraced all, being as general in its scope if not as authoritative as that of the president himself. From the beginning he has been in- timately and confidentially associated with the president in formulating all the scheme of finance, consolidation, construction and operation of both steam and electric roads that have marked the last six years. Their offi- ces in New Haven have been practical- ly one office, and while the president has been absent most of the time for the past two years giving personal at-. tention to the extensive improvements in and around Boston including the great terminal station. Judge Hall has been, as it were, the president’s other self in active management cf affairs in the western district, which are now more multifarious and complicated than was the whole system when Presi- dent Clark took charge eleven years ago. This does not mean that Judge Hall’s work has been confined to one patt- of the system. He‘ has "been called into consultations with regard to all mat- ters of moment everywhere. He has been of the inner council which delib- erated upon and determined, in general and in detail, the plans of all important engineering and construction. He is thus well acquainted with the great works accomplished and in progress in Massachusetts, Rhode Island,- Connec- ticut and New York. He will, as Presi- dent Clark has done. spend a portion of his time at the Boston end of the “DP, and railroad men at that capital will have an opportunity of becoming bet- ter acquainted with him.

To the problems of traffic and of op- jeration he has given earnest attention and is thoroughly conv rsant with the details of freight and passenger traflic. ; His knowledge of the department of op- e1 ation is comprehensive as the result of special study of the conditions of efficiency and economyin accomplishing results.

When they reached their destination, the sit- uation was thrilling enough, and not unlike one of the stories which fre- quently comes from the wild and wool 1y NV est. All Long Ridge was out, and the. home of' the- villain was sur— rounded by an angry mob of men and boys, who indulged in threats against the man inside. Escape for him was impossible, had he wanted to get away1 What would have been the result had he made the attempt is hard to tell. The man is Oscar Sefrles, who was in the employ of Farmer Crissey. Up- on Mr. Crissey’s farm there is a pond upon which boys are wont to skate. The pond is a small one, and the boys resolved to increase its dimensions by building up the dam. To this proceed- ing the owner objected, but the boys persisted, and also madefun by tanta— lizing the hired man, Searles. Saturday evening, while they were tampering with the dam, Searies ap- peared on the scene. The boys had ‘ He became enraged, and. entering the house. short- ly emerged with a double-barreled shot gun, firing the contents of both more fun at his expense. barrels in the direction of the crowd ' Five or-six of the‘»boys were peppered with the shot, but the distance was so great that none of them were seriously injured. Searies retreated to ' the house. , . He is not a favorite in that locality and the shooting aroused the indigna- - tion of the people thereabouts. They turned out and surrounded the house, while messengers were dispatched to town for officers.
