The South Nor-walk Crossings.
A South Norwalk correspondent says:
‘ ‘The decision of the Railroad Commission-
ers at their meeting, on last Friday; to dig a
hole under the tracks of the Consolidated
and Danbury'dr Norwalk roads, at Monroe
street so as to make a roadway under the
tracks, has caused much surprise and in-
dignation among our citizens, and the
matter will probably‘be taken to the courts
if an attempt is made to carry _it out. The
bottom of the roadway under the tracks
will be six feet below the grade of Monroe
and Chestnut streets and will, in wet
weather, be a pond hole and probably re-
quire boats to make the crossing. It
would be much better to discontinue that
part of the street occupied by the two
railroads, as it could be done at a small
portion Of the expense that will be in-
curred in making the tunnel, and the
small present amount of travel over the
tracks could cross at Washington or Con-
cord street with but little increased dis-
tance. The injury to property in Monroe
street by the discontinpance of that‘por-
tion occupied by the railroads would, in
the opinion of some of the best judges of
the value of real estate, be next to nothing,
as the street is. and will probably long
continue to be, occupied for private resi-
dences. The extending of Franklin street
through to Monroe street would be about
all the expense needed to give safe and
ample roadway for all residents westerly
of the tracks. On the easterly side they
now have abundant means of ingress and
egress. With the railroads blocked off the
street would be safe and, as a place of res-
idence, much preferable to its present con-
dition.
The Main and Washington street cross-
ing in this city is probably the worst in
the State, and cannotmuch longer be used
as it now is, and a radical change must
soon be made. The most feasible plan yet
suggested is for the elevation of the tracks
so that the roadway may be under them.
This can be done and the trains run on
top of the bridge across the harbor, in-
stead as now, at a moderate expense, as
compared with a new bridge below the
present town bridge, as proposed by Ell-
gineer Curtis some three years since. At
any rate something must soon be done to
avoid the imminent peril that our citizens
and strangers daily and hourly incur at
this crossing. There is also great and just
complaint made by;all residents within a
quarter of a mile of this crossing, in con-
sequence of switching by the freight
trains on the Danbury and N orwalk road,
which nightly occurs with terrific crash
and noise, and often lasts from 11 p. m.
until 1 or 2 a. m., depriving people who
are well, of needed sleep, and is always
hurtful to those who are sick."

The Young Men’s Christian association
reading room, now open daily from 9a. m.
to 10 p. m. , is proving quite an attraction.
Thirty-seven visits were made to the rooms
in three days, which, with the thirty-one
who attended the association meeting,
made a total of sixty-eight in four days.
The exhibition of reading matter on the
table has occasioned many words of up-
The following papers are
found in the room at this date, with more
to follow: -
Daily—The New York World, Tribune,
Mail and Express and the Springfield
Union.
Weekly—Harper’s and Leslie's Illustra-
ted Weeklies, Danbury News, Brldgeport

Congregationalist, Sunday School Times,
New York Weekly Witness, and the local
weekly papers,
Monthly—Harper’s and Seribner‘s Maga-
zine, aud the Medical Missionary Herald.
Semi-Monthly—The Association Watch-
man.
A good exainple was set last week by a
friend, who brought in several papers
from his home. They were fresh and
good. It is hoped his example may be
followed by others, especially those who
have back numbers of the monthly maga-
zines, which are always readable. The

The Herman and Waterbury Lay-out.
The railroad commissioners were in
session at Meriden yesterday, at the office
of Chief Engineer Crawford, to consider
the lay-out of the Meriden and Waterbury
railroad. There was a large attendance
of the stockholders. Lynde Harrison
appeared for the Consolidated railroad,
and made the unique claim that the Con-
solidated owned from the center of the
earth to the constellation, consequently
the commissioners had no right to grant
a right of way over its tracks or land to
the new road. President Clark backed
up Mr. Harrison. President Yeamans of
the New Haven and Northampton also
objected in behalf of his road. The com-
missioners thought they had more rights
in the matter than Mr. Harrison’s idea
would give them. As all the property
owners had not been ’notified, the final
hearing was set down for J unc 30, when
objections will be more fully conSIdered.
The commissioners went over the line of
the road, and another hearing will be held
in Waterbury this morning.

McGlynn Already Excommunicated.
It is learned that the communication from
Rome which was transmitted to Dr. Mc-
Glynn, nearly 40 days ago was not merely a
summons to appear at Rome, but was in fact
a papal hull of excommunication of Dr.
MeGlynn if he did not appear or make ap-
plication for a hearing at Rome within 40
days. As no such application has been
made, and as the doctor is stilishere, he
stands excommunicated by his own act.
No further action of the pope is necessary.
The effect for an application for a. hearing
in such a case is a stay of the bull of excom-
municaticn, but without such application
the bull becomes perfect and complete.
THE CONNECTICUT WESTERN.
The Gouranfs Tariffvillc correspondent
writes :—
On Tuesda
Fogg of the
tern railroad was taken by Mr. Marvin H.
Sanford over the contemplated route of
the new branch road between this village
(Tarifl’vlllc) and Springfield, and Thursday
Mr. Fog and his assistants will begin at
Springfie (1 their surveys. Just where the
approach to Taritfville village will be is
not definitely determined.
This has the air of business about it,
and may account in part for the recent
strengthening of the Connecticut Western
securities.

for bids for that amount of bonds, bearing
interest at the rate of 3! per cent. and pay-

the state. The bids received amounted in
the aggregate to more than $700,000,000.

THE LINE OF THE NEW ROAD TO
BOSTON.
The N. Y. Sun of Thursday contributes
the following to the prolific railroad liter-
ature of the day:—— 5
Many west side property owners in that
part of the city through which the prepos-
ed line of the new New York, Connecticut
and Eastern Railway runs have been
much disturbed by receiving formal print-
ed notices from the company’s office that
their lots are touched by the proposed
line, a map of which was filed at the
Registers office on May 24. last. The
map marks down as subject to appropria-
tion for depot grounds all that large tri-
angle which lics between the Boulevard,
Ninth avenue, and Fifty-ninth street.
From a point near the junction of Ninth
avenue and the Boulevard, the line cuts
diagonally into the blocks between Ninth
and Tenth avenues, and runs parallel to
the Boulevard, cutting through the mid-
dle, or a little to the east of the middle of
the blocks to about SeventyJourth street,
where it crosses the Boulevard, and runs
arallel with it again on the west. This
is the proposed rapid transit line to Bos-
ton, over which trains are to be run, cov-
ering the distance between the two cities
in about three hours.
Managing Director Lindsay said yester-
day that the greatest pains possible had
been taken to so run as to do as little
damage to private property as possible.
Just how much of the triangle between
the Boulevard, Ninth avenue, and Fifty-
ninth street would be taken for a depot
ground he was unable to say. It was the
design to erect the depot at a pomt where
there could be best made a connection
with the surface and the elevated railroads,
it being desirable to connect the depot
platform with the elevated railroad plat-
form in some such manner as they are now
connected at the Grand Central station.
The entire triangle between the streets
named, in: said, would not be necessary
to do this, but the company embraced the
entire triangle in its map showmg the pro-
posed appropriations, so as to be able“ to
take such portion of it and as much of it
as was wanted.
The structure on which the tracks would
run, he said, would be about 40 feet wide,
allowing space for double tracks, and
would be built of solid masonary to about
the height above the street of the Elevated
railway tracks. The street crossings
‘would be bridged at a proper height as
they are bridged on the New York Cen-
tral line above the tunnels. Mr. Lindsay
said they expected the usual outcry which
comes when railroads appropriate proper-
ty in the city, and he said the damage to
real estate would be as imaginary as that
which was predicted for the property
along Sixth avenue when the first serious
talk about the elevated railway began.
A very large number of the lots crossed
by the proposed line between Ninth and
Tenth avenues are now vacant, although
the large triangle booked for the depot
grounds is pretty solidly built up with
brick buildings
It was the desire, if possible, Mr. Lind-
say said, to have the depot’ building front
on the circle at the soutwest corner of
Central Park, and it was proposed to erect
a structure which would be worthy of the
place.
Mr. Lindsay would not deny that he
had heard talk of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford and New York and
New England lines coming in over the
tracks of the proposed new road,buttherc
had been no proposition made, or hint of
a proposition, from cithcr of those com-
panies. It was altogether too early now
to consider that ; there would be time
enough when the proposed new road was
further advanced toward being built. No
doubt the new road would be glad enough
to let the above named lines in over its
track if they were willing to pay for the
privilege.

Post Office Salaries.
Under the new adjustment the post offices
that secure the largest increase of salary are
Essex and Wullingford, the gain in each
case being three hundred dollars. In the
case of the last named a promotion is also
secured as the Wallingford Office now enters
the second class. Both Ansonia and N orth-
f'ord secure an increase of two hundred
dollars, and fourteen offices are increased a
single hundred dollars. The heaviest loss
is sustained by the Windsor Locks oflice,’
the reduction being two hundred dollars.
Three oflices lose onehundred dollars. They
are East Haddam, Norwalk and Portland.
Derby and Ivorytown are dropped from the
presidential rank to the fourth class. One
office. East Haddam, has been raised to the
presidential grade this year. The following

Miss Baird’s Institute.
The examination took place on Monday,
the 20th inst., and the closing exercises
on Tuesday following. The latter con-
sisted of essays, reading, music and Ger-
man and French recitations. The pupils
performed their several parts most satis-
factorily and won much praise. The
ranks were then read. Depending upon
the number of days of attendance, dc-
portment and amiability, number of
branches of study pursued and general
scholarship, the first rank in the school
was assigned to Miss Pearl Kittrcdge,
of State Hill, N. Y., and the second rank
to Miss Fannie Latimer, of Brooklyn.
The ranks in special studies were held
as follows:
First rank in mathematics—Miss Iola
Swords, of South Norwalk.
First rank in spelling—Miss Amy Cox,
of Brookside.
First rank in French—Miss Pearl Kit-
tredge, of State Hill, and Miss Marie Tag-
gart, of Washington, .D. C.
First rank in German— Miss Iola Swords.
First rank in painting—Miss Kitty Hoyt
of Norwalk.
First rank in crayon drawing — Miss May
Varnum, of Lowell, Mass
First rank in instrumental music -Miss
Amy Cox, of Brookside.
The grammar prizes were won,‘the first
half year, by Miss Iola Swords, of South
Norwalk, and the second half year by
Miss Gertrude Dibble, of Rowayton.
The school has met-with a high degree
of prosperity this year, and most of the
pupils have signified their intention to re-
turn. The next scholastic year opens on
the fourth Thursday of next September.

This how is tllc Danbury Democrat re.
porfs a court scene :-—-In court yesterday
morning Dennis McCarthy, of Bedding,
was charged with drunkenness. Dennis
was standing on Main street singing,
“Does your mother know you’re out.”
He was the recipient of several com-
munications from awakened occupants of
buildings in the neighborhood. “Rats!"
two or three yelled, and one man with a
fringed night cap threw a hand full of
boot-jacks, a frying pan and a mucilage
bottle at him thinking that it was the red
headed hired girl‘s cat in the next block.
Dennis having seen sixty years of life was
certainly Old enough to know better.
The officers luggcd him away, and Dennis
changed the tune to, “I go to a dungeon
cell," and then ended with a chorus at-
tachment in which a word that though its
not as long, still it rhymes Wltll f Farc-
chI" took a prominent part.” The J udgc
let him go.
The Greenwich Graphic says:—Mr. E.
H. Johnson and family are at their sum-
mer home on North street. The old land-
mark has been so metamorphosed during
the past six months that it scarcely retains
a semblance Of its former self. The work
of remodeling the house is nearly com-
pleted, but it Will be some weeks yet be-
fore the electric machinery is completed.
Wide verandas now extend around the
front and sides of the house, and turrets
and lowers uive a pleasing acllitectural
effect. The approaches are through
graceful curves and easy grades, and for-
est trees and beds of exquisite flowers
here and there beautify the grounds. But
it is the electric appliances that attract the
most interest to the place. ~These are of a
magnitude that few peoplc‘l'calizc, and
nothing of the kind can be found in any
private residence anywhere else in the
world. Not a wire or a' pole is to be seen
anywhere about the ground, dwelling or
stable, yet when completed there will be
between five and six hundred electric
lights, besides annunciators, electric bells,
and other electric appliances ill use. An
eighty horse—power engine, with driving
wheels six fectln diameter, making 140
revolutions per minute, drives two Edison
dynamos, and these are considered per-
feet by electricians. These were apre-
sent to Mrs. Johnson from the Edison
company. Five Sprague motors pump
water from as many different wells to
tanks. A storage battery of 120 jars fur.
nishes the power for day work, and a five
horse-power motor driVes hot or cold,
air, at will, into the rooms of the house
through subterranean channels. Ther-
mostats, an invention of Mr. Johnson, reg“
ulatc the temperature in every room.
It has taken nearly twelve months to do
all the work on Mr. Johnson’s place, and
when the plans are fully completed it will
be an ideal summer home, besides a place
of mucll interest to electricians and scien-
tific men generally.

The fiftieth anniversary of the ordination
of the Rev. Dr. Samuel G. Buckingham
and the fortieth anniversary of his pastorate
over the South Congregational Church of
this city, which were celebrated to-day,
mark one of the most important events in
local church history. The society has been

wealth and culture Of the city having
gathered within its walls. The society is
also remarkable in having had but three

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Inagreat majority of cases in which
. pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an Increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
dlsabiltty increases each year. . As time passes the
disability of.alllclasses naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low. and it often occurs
thitupensloners are unjustly or erroneously re-
du by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. 1 make a. specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims. and if you, will
present me~with a brief statement of our case,
stating by whom it was presented, I w ll obtain a
rehearing of your case, and,le it has merit, will
procure a favorable settlement. Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires a competent attorney to make them
good cases. Soldiers Merino with-disabilities
contracted in mice. who luwe not applied for a
pension, should do so as it is their RIGHT.
