One of the officers of the New York and
Connecticut Air Line Raierad company
states that work will be resumed as soon
as the general financial situation improves
sufficiently to warrant it. “We have
made our corporate existence sure," said
he, “by spending in construction work
fully $12,000 more than the law required.
The Hartford and Harlem people may
profess to doubt this, but if they are sin-
core in this doubt why don’t they bring
an action before the railroad commission-
ers to test the question? If they have a
good case they can easily wipe our organi-
zation out of existence. It would be folly
for us to go on with construction work
when it is so hard to raise money for any
new enterprise, no matter how promising.
We have raised the money so far spent by ,
assessments on our present stockholders,
but we don’t care to go further in that
direction-at present. By fall the .condi-
tion of things will probably have so far
improved that we can resume construction
and push it rapidly—Standard.

If as Hall’s Concert.
the vocal and instrumental concert given
by Miss Annie E. Hall. Tire concert was
opened by Mr. Glosc with two excellently
renderot‘l selections from Chopin and
Gpttscmilks Miss Beebe followed with
two can gs, which merited and received a
hearty encore, and an elegant basket of
in his‘violin solo “Fantasia Caprice" re-
ceivedl an enthusiastic encore. Probably
no more skillful violinist was ever heard
in tOj wn than he, his high notes being as
sweet and as clear as a bell and the astral
rasp‘ing sounds entirely absent. In fact,
in lnis bands, the violin almost seemed to
talk. Miss Beebe and Bryant sang “A
Song of Summer Birds,” in a very pleasing
manner. Miss Hall‘s “Waldegruss” and
“ ‘Fruhlingsblume" were exceptionally fine,
and Miss Hall. has every reason to feel
proud of the success of her first appear-
ance before a Norwalk audience. She re-
- -ceived an almost unanimous aware and
song “The Last Rose of Summer." By
far the greatest success of the evening
‘was scored by Miss Bryant in Dcseaur’s
' beautiful solo “To Sevilla." Miss Bryant
has a wonderful contralto voice. anti
evinced thorough training and skill. She
‘ was loudly entered and was the recipient
of an elegant floral offering. Mr. Glosc
then gave another admirable selection on
the piano, after which Miss Beebe sang a
charming ballad “A Summer Shower" re-
,ceiving another encore. Mr. Rhodes in
' the succeeding violin solos was also
entered. The entertainment closed with
the solo “Spring-time” by Miss Hall which,
by the way, was beautifully sung. At it
conclusion another handsome floral basket
was presented to Miss Hall. Altogether
the concert was of the highest order, all
the artistes acc‘luitting themselves in a
thoroughly efficient manner. Miss Hall
was greatly fatigued by her arduous labors
in arranging for the entertainment, but all
will admit that she has shown an ability
of comprehension and a quality of voice
not often surpssed. On the whole the
concert may be said to have been a flatter:
ing success.

Sad Accident.
About four o’clock this afternoon, while
Mr. William A. Scofield was polishing a
hatter's shell, in Cottcr’s Machine shop on
‘ Knight street, the emery wheel over which
he was working burst. A large piece .
struck Mr. Scofield upon the top of
the head making a ghastly wound which,
in all probability will prove fatal. Doctors
Baldwin, Birch and Hitchcock were sum-
moned, and bad the wounded man re—
moved to his residence on High stvet,
when; he lies unconscious with but slight
prospects of recovery.
Mr. Scoficld was a young man of quiet
temperament and much beloved by a large
circle of friends. He was a son of “Cy."
Scofield, who formerly worked at Dann's
livery stable. Mr. Scofield married a
daughter of Eliplralet Bouton.
Tnc emery wheel which bursted was a
new one and had only been in use a few
days. It was fully warranted not to
burst.

A Slight Diflerence.
Emron GAZETTE—0n Saturday I paid a
visit to Roton Point going by the steamer
Pinta from South Norwalk. Mixing in
with the merry throng and enjoying the
pleasures of that naturally beautiful place,
I neglected to notice the time and when I
started to return home the steamer had
left. The New York boat had not yet
arrived and, thinking that if I could reach
Wilson’s Point I could get home by train,
I asked ,tbe man in charge of the row
boats at the Roton pier how much he
would charge to convey mc\to Wilson's, a‘
distance of less than an eighth of a mile.
His reply was “ half a dollar." I protest-
ed against this high rate as it would not
consume fifteen minutes to row the dis-
tance, but the man was obdurate and 're-
plied that he received half a dollar an
hour for his boats and would take me to
Wilson’s for no less. Determined not to
submit to such extortion I started to walk
around by the shore. I 'had gone but a
few steps when the boatman yelled to me
that he would send a. boy over to Wilson’s
with me for thirty cents. I refused this
amount also and continued my walk. On
reaching Bell‘s Island I noticed a row
boat at the dock in front of the “ Seaside
Hotel" and concluded to try the price
there. Enquiring for the proprietor that
gentleman introduced himself and . on
learning my wishes kindly offered to row
me to Wilson’s free of charge. I preferrd
to pay and so told him, but he would ac-
cept no fee. Thanking him cordially I
entered the boat and was _soon at Wilson’s
in time. to catch the train for home.
I simply relate the facts as they occurred
and offer no comment. The moral is pat-
ent to every one. ~

_ It is but justice for us to inform X. Y.
Z. that the boats at Roton are not under
[Mn Ackert’s control or management.
Yet we must admit that excursionists and
others often suffer outrageous extortions
at seaside resorts. The experience of X.
Y. Z. at Roton is a fair example and shows
that Mr. Ackcrt would work for his own
interest if he would separate his beautiful
grove from every one who manifests a
disposition. to impose upon a _ person in
