SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION,
DE RAILROAD cnossmcs.
Governor LounSbury accorded a hear-
ing by request at the Mahackemo Hotel
Monday morning to the representatives of
such towns as desired to be heard on the
question of calling a special scssion2of the
legislature to repeal all present laws ap-
portioning any part of the expense of
changing grade crossings of railroads in
the state. About thirty persons were
present and the towns of Norwalk, (in-
cluding the borough of Norwalk and the
city Of South Norwalk), Westport and
Fairfield were represented. Senator E. J.
Hill spoke specially for Norwalk and the
13th senatorial district; John S. Seymour
for the borough,'Attorney Light for the
city of South Norwalk, Mr. Maples, by in-
struction from his town, forWestport, and
Judge Glover and Rev. Mr. Adams for
Fairficld. The position of all the speakers
was that the towns should not be called,
upon to pay any portion of the costs of
changing the grade crossings throughout
the state. and thatthe only possible way
the wrongs 'of the present laws could be
repealed would be at a special' session
restricted to this one question. Also that
unless an extra session of the legislature
was immediately called it would be too
late as the railroads, and particularly the
Consolidated, would have the assessments
fastened upon the towns in spite of all
efforts of escape, etc.
The governor replied that to his mind
the calling of an extra session of the legis-
lature was a matter of such gravity that
the question should be maturely and not
hastily considered, and therefore he could
not at the moment say what he would do.
Meantime he desired all the information
on the subject he could get. He should
take special care so far as was in his pow-
er that no individual or community in the
state was subjected to any injury or
. wrong, but as there were two sides to
every question he desired time to Weigh
the matter. In answer to the assertion
that if he didnt acttmmediatelg the Con-
solidated road would have all its cross-
ings fixed upon, and the towns burdened
with half of the cost, the governor replied
that he should at once request the railroad
commissioners to take no further action in
regard to any grade crossing until after he
had decided the matter of these petitions, a
statement that was received with applause.
The following are the petitions :—
To his Excellency, P. C. LOUNSBURY,
Governor of Connecticut:
As the municipal representatives of the
citizens of the borough of Norwalk, the
Warden and Court of Burgesscs present
to you their petition for a special session
of the General Assembly of this state to he
immediately called to consider the so
called grade crossing question. In justi-
fication of so extraordinary a demand,
they respectfully urge upon Your Excel-
lency the following considerations:
Within the limits of the borough, which
is traversed north and south by the Dan-
bury and Norwalk division of the House-
tonic system of railroads, there are six
regular grade crossing, all of which are
over ancient. highways, three of which are
much travelled. By judicial construction
of the present law these crossings arepro-
nounced nuisances, and by legislative en-
actment providing for their removal, and
by the construction put upon the law by
the railroad commissioners about one-half
the expense of their removal will be
charged to the borough of Norwalk.
It is understood by your petitioners
that the policy of the railroads of the state
is to cause all grade crossings to be re-
moved before the legisiaturc would again
have an opportunity, in the regular course
of events, to consrder the matter; and by
taking advantage of the present state of
legislation on the subject, the railroads
now propose immediately to abolish all
crossings at grade, with a large apportion-
ment of the expense of this railroad im-
provcmcnt upon the towns, cities and
boroughs of the state. .
SO far asany just estimate can be niadc
of public opinion in this borough, it is
unanimous Cin' condemning the present
law. The people of the state, and much
less the towns, cities and boroughs within
it, as municipal bodies, are not jointly
responsible with the railroads for the ex-
istence of these crossings, or for the nuis-
ance which they are pronounced to be.
An analysis of the nuisance shows it to
consist in the danger to the persons and
property Of those who cross the railroads,
and not to those who travel on the rail-
roads. This danger is caused by the high
speed of the trains. Once reduce that
speed to ten miles an hour at dangerous
crossings, and the danger would be almost
wholly removed. And while it is not sug-
gested that the danger should be removed
in that way. it must be admitted that it
would be possible thus to remove it. This
high speed of trains is demanded by the
traveling public, and is conceded to them
by the railroad management. In a word,
those who travel on railroads demand of
those who manage railroads the danger-
ous speed of trains which is now so com-
mon. The people who are obliged to
cross tiic railroads have no control of these
matters, and have no part in it whatever
except in being the passive sufferers from
the danger caused wholly by the way in
which the other party uses the crossings.
Therefore We say those who travel by rail
and cause the danger should pay for 're-
moving it; and just as certainly those who
travel by road and suffer from the danger
should not be required also t i pay any part
of the expense of removing that danger
As the present law assesses the expense
of the removal of these crossings,‘as prac-
tically interpreted, about equally upon the
towns and upon the railroads, your pc-
ritioners say that the cxigcncy demands
immediate legislative interference. And
therefore they take the unnerial course Of
petitioning Your Excellency to commute
the legislature before irreparable injury is
done: by more delay.

To his Excellency, P. C; LouNsErrnv,
Governor of Connecticut:
The undersigned, sclectmcn of the town
of Nor-walk, believing that tile existing
laws of this state relative to the protection
of life at grade crossings andAtlie appor.
tionnient of the expense in removing such
.crossings, are-contrary. to the universal
sentiment of the state, and that a general
.deoire prevails for their repeal and pine-
u'nglirhc expense where it justly belongs,
exponnthc railroad corporations, have seat
so the sclectmcn of every town in the
.statc .a:sci;i0s of inquiries to which anSWCrs
tfrom one hundred towns have been re-
.ceivcd, winch are herewith transmitted.
We would invite your special attention
to the reasons given in many cases for the
.ru-gative answers concerning a special ,
u
6‘
U
l
session of the General Assembly.
It would seem strange that any com—
munity in this state should fear the result
of an effort to right manifest and acknowl-
edged wrongs. It is indeed a startling
thing that so large a number should de-
cline to make the effort in utter despair of
overthrowing the influences of the cor-
porations arrayed against them.
But notwithstanding this, your petition-
ers believe with the agent of the town of
Bridgeport that “the people still rule in
old Connecticut, and they can be trusted
to dispose of the question of grade cross-
ings as they have disposed of other im-
portant questions before.”
we desire to call your attention to this
remarkable fact that in not a single case
is satisfaction expressed with the present
law. '
Seven hundred and five grade crossings
are represented in these one hundred
towns. Of these fifty-six are highway
crossings of railroad, and six hundred and
forty-nine are railroad crossings of pre-
existing highways.
In answer to the question as to what
proportion of the cost of removing grade
crossings caused by railroad companies
should be paid by such companies, seventy-
scven towns say 100 per cent., four, 75 ;
one, 67; three,'50; one, 45, and fourteen
towns do not answer the question.
In answer to the question as to what
proportion of the cost of removing grade
crossings caused by towns, should be paid
by railroad companies, thirty-three towns
say 100 per cent.; four, 75; eighteen, 50;
one, 33; one, 25 ; fourteen say no, and
twenty-nine do not answer this question.
In answer to the eighth question :
“Should the town or the State bear the ex-
pense, if any, not apportioned to the rail-
road companies," fortyscvcn .towns say
“the State," sixteen say “the towns," three
say “the State and the towns equally,”
and the remainder say that the railroads
should pay the whole cost, or give no
answer. ‘ _
In answer'to the question as to the ad.
visability of holding a special session of
the General Assembly, thirty-seven towns
ansWer emphatically in the affirmative,
and twenty-four answer without qualifica-
tions negatively, and fourteen more nega-
tively, for reasons indicated hereafter. Of
the negative towns, ten have no railroads
within their limits. Twenty-five do not
answer this question.
Since the above was written affirmative
reports have come from :
Hartford, 42,015
New Canaan, 2,678
44,688
Add before Oct. 6th, 234,435
Making a total of, 279,123
The population of the affirmative towns
is:
234,435.
Negative, 88,718.
Noxnanswering, 48,532
Total population represented, 371,685
Of the negative towns, although favoring
the change of the law, but answering this
question negatively, Naugatuck, Glaston-
bury, Bark Hampstead, and Torrington
ihink “the next Legislature will do it.”
Bethcl does not think a special session
necessary, and Orange objects, “because
the railroads own the State and v. ould get
the best of it."
Chaplin “would say yes, but has no
hope as the railroads have everything their
own way.”
Danbury says “The condition of things
cannot be too speedily corrected ," but they
have doubts as to a special session.
Avon says, “The less legislature the
better.” Tolland thinks that the R. R.
Commissioners should press up the com-
panies. Columbia says, “If a railroad
lobby could control last year, rt would
this. and there would be nothing gained."
New Milford thinks “that the next legis-
lature will be less inclined to sell them-
selves to the R. R. Co.’s after a year’s
agitation of the subject.”
Beacon Falls says that “It might forward
matters, and might not, as the R. R. Co.’s
own the Commissioners, we expect them
to do as they like." Winsor Locks thinks
“it might be of some use, if it were
certain that the matter would be handled
in the right way."
For the reasons given by the representa-
tives of nearly one half of the population
of the State, showing why a. special ses-
sion should be called, and called at the
earliest possible moment, we would
respectfully brit earnestly ask your care-
ful and thoughtful consideration of the
accompanying reports.
To these towns this is a question invol—
ving very large sums of money.
But speaking for the to .vn of Norwalk
only, and believing that the rights of its
citizens are unjustly and wantoniy in-
fringed undcr the present statutes of the
State relating to grade crossings, in that
they are thereby to be taxed to pay ex-
penses not incurred by them, or with their
consent to their advantage, and believing
furthermore that these laws give to rail-
road corporations in conjunction with the
Railroad Commission, extreme arbitrary
and unconstitutional powers, we, the
sclectmcn of this town representing the
well known wish of the people, not only
earnestly urge but cntreat that you, the
Executive of this State, convene the legis-
lature in special session for the consider-
ation of' this subject at the earliest possible
day, before further and greater wrongs
shall be done to Norwaik and many other
towns—William L. James, Franklin A.
Tolles, Chas. II. jthcler, sclectmcn of
Norwalk.
To the Mayor and Common Council of
South Norwalk :
The undersigned, residents of this city
respectfully request your honorable body
to cause a petition to be at once trans.
mitted to his Excellency P. C. Lounsbury,
Governor of this State, setting forth the
necessity of an early convoking of the
General Assembly to consider the laws re-
lating to railroads, and especially the re-
pcal ofjthe laws by which One-half of the
cost of separating the grades of railroads
and highways at Crossings, may bciappor-
tioned upon the people, or by which the
public are compelled to share in the ex-
pense of protection to life at railway cross.
ings, believing that this is a duty devolving
upon the railroad companies which they,
and they alone, should be compelled by law
to bear. Signed by some 300 citizens.
South Norwalk, Own, 1887.
TO his Excellency.
P. C. Lomvsnnax,
Governor of Connecticut:
The city of South Norwaik, by its Mayor
and Common Council, respectfully repre-
sents that the tracks of the N. Y.. N. H. &
H. R. R., and the Danbury division of the
iiousatonic R. R., rriii directly through
the business center of this city, and cross-
ing the public highways at grade at a
number of points.
There is now pending before the Rail-
road Commissioners an application by the
N. Y., N H. £6 II. R. R. Co for the
separation of the grades at a crossing
known as the Monroe street crossing, and
that at a hearing had upon said applica-
R. R. CO. in order that said street crossing
might be considered at the same time with
another known as Washington street,
notice being then and there given by said
R. R. Co. that application would be at
once made to the R. R. CGIIImIBSIOIICI'S for
a separation of grades at. about crossing,
and that both would necessarily the cop.
sidercd together. '
Washington street is one of the lprinci- !
pal business streets of this city. The {plan
proposed, as we are informed. is to canny ‘
the tracks of said company above the r
streets from nine to eleven feet, and lower
the streets from three to six feet. In ad-
dition to the changes of grade, arrange-
ments are now being made and property
purchased for two additional tracks.
These changes upon thisjline of railroad
tion, an adjournment was asked by said .
will compel corresponding changes upon
the Housatonic R. R. at the same cross-
ings, and upon at least two other streets
in this city. ,
The expense of these changes will be
very large.
Under existing law, part of this expense
may be apportioned against the town, city,
or boroughwithin whose limits the changes
are made. ‘
Under the rulings of the Boiird of Rail-
way Commissioners heretofore madc, the
law-has been practically construed to be
cornpuisory as to the public sharing in
these' expenses.
Our citizens believe this law and this
construction of it to be unjust, arbitrary,
contrary to the custom and practice of
every other State, and that it ought to be
absolutely repealed at once. They can
see no good reason why these changes of
grade crossings should be paid for in full
by tlrese same R. R. Companies in the
State of New York and thrust upon the
towns in the State of Connecticut.
They believe that this law and others
kindred to it were drafted by railroad at-
torneys, enacted under corporation in-
fluences and inspiration, and that the op-
portunity afforded by the first biennial
session of the General Assembly (an
amendment proposed and adopted under
railroad influences) is to be seized and the
work completed, before the people can
even attempt to assert their rights.
We therefore respectfully, brit flrmly,
request that you grant to us the privilege
of asking the representatives of the people
of the whole State for an absolute and an.
conditional repeal of any and all statutes
by which the earnings of individuals are
taken under form of law, and diverted rin-
justly to the use and advantage of railroad
corporations, or by which the public are
compelled to buy protection to life upon
the highways owned by themselves, and
to pay for relief from dangers for which
they are not responsible. '
We submit that to refuse this request,
or to delay in granting it. will be to place
upon this and many other towns in the
State, very heavy burdens which they
ought not to be compelled to bear, and to
arbitrarily require them to pay expenses
which they will have no voice in contract-
ing.
Overreachcd by the railroad corpora-
tions, disappointed in the Board of Rail.
road Commissioners, we turn to you, the
Governor of this State, and, in the name
of the people, we respectfully ask that a
special session of the General Assembly
may be convened asjsoon as possible for the
purpose of acting upon proposed changes
in the laws relating to railroads, and that
pending such action, the- further hearings
before the Board of Railroad Commis-
sioners upon applications for the removal
of grade crossings in this and other towns
in the State be suspended, and said Board
be requested to act only upon the protec-
tion of such crossings. Signed, W. B.

At the regular annual meeting of the
Term of Fairfield, in the county of Fair-
field and State of Connecticut, held pur-
suant to due and legal warning, at the
Town Hall in said Fairficld on the third
day of October A. D. 1887, it was unani-
mously voted as follows, viz:
“That, in the opinion of this town, an
urgent necessity exists for an immediate
change in the laws of this State relating to
the separation of grades where highways
are crossed at grade by railroad tracks:
That, it is the desire of this town, ex—
pressed in Town Meeting assembled. that
the Governor of this State call, at the
earliest possible date. a special session of
the General Assembly, for the purpose of
considering the aforesaid subject of ‘gradc
crossings :'
That, Wm. B. Glover, Charles G. Adams
and Edward Hawkins be, and they hereby
are, appointed a committee on behalf of
this Town to wait upon the Governor, and
to express to him the views of the citizens
of this town on said subject, also to con-
vey to him a copy of these resolutions."

REMARKS 0! MR. HILL.
Governor Louusbury:
i In behalf of the 13th Senatorial District,
permit me very briefly to say that the
sentiment of this district is unanimous,
that the law, by which any portion of the
cost of altering a grade crossing is borne
by anyone other than the Railroad Com_
pany should be at once repealed. 2nd,
that no difference exists in feet between a
crossing made by a Railroad and one
made by a town, both being for the use of
the public, and that the public have a
right to a safe use of both without being
required to pay for such safety.
Upon the question of when the law shall
be repealed, Trumbull does not advise a
Special Session, and WestOn hardly thinks
it necessary, but adds. “As there are no
railroad crossings in the town of Weston
perhaps we ought not to express any
opinions on the subject.” These two
towns comprise a population of 2M1. On
the other hand Fiiirfield, Norwalk. Strat-
fOi-d and “‘cstport, comprising a popula-
tion of 25,432 urgently request that the law
shall be at once rcpeaicd. and that the
question shall be submitted to aSpcciai
Session of the General Assembly, belies.
ing that. if it is postponed to the regular
Session of 1380, the injustice which they
seek to avoid, will have been wrought
. upon the towns and they will be without
‘relief. They believe furthermore, that it.
is better to submit a question of this mag.
poeple are so deeply involved, to the mem-
bers of the Legislature, entirely discon-
nected from the ordinary and routine
business of the State. apart from any side
issues, so that the whole people of the
State may fully comprehend it, and that
it may thus be decided upon its merits
solely. These towns believe that it might
as well be postponed to eternity as to 1889,
as far as their interests are concerned.
As to the question. ,of whether any or all
of the grade crossings in dais State shall
be removed, I have nothing .00 say pow,
as that is not the subject under considera-
tion.
Tire town of Stamford has instructed its
semifinal to oppose in every way, the
taxing any pert of the cost of changing
grade crossings, in that town.
The «town of Madison has jun voted to
ask the Governor-to call an extra sessiop
of the Legislature,
The public authorities of Normal-k lex-
press the earnest hope that every town ,i,n
the State will take similar tuition in plus.

calling an immediate extra session of our

Mn. FRANK GREGORY, aged about 41, and

night at about eleven o’clock, at his home
in Chestnut Hill district, \Vilton, of typhoid
malaria. He was a thoroughly upright man
and well and favorably known about Nor-

physique and if is a marvel to all who knew
him that so large and powerfully built man
should have so suddenly succumbed to the
fatal disease.
Mas. ELLEN Conny, wife of Ebenezer
Coley, also of Chestnut Hill, and a near
neighbor of the above deceased Mr. Gregory,
by a singular coincidence, died at her home
within fifteen minutes of the former. She
had fallen from a chair in her cellar several
days previously, and sustained severe, but
not necessarily fatal, injuries, but the accident
or the fact that she lay on the cold cellar
bottom for a considerable time before being
discovered, no doubt led to the fatal result.
She was a most. estimable woman.
The venerable Mus. WrLLrs Bonn, known
to our older citizens as a long time resident

Another Honor to Norwalk.
Our good people were very generally and
thoroughly and properly delighted at. the
honor conferred upon our town in the sc-
lection of one of our citizens for the high
and responsible position ‘of Treasurer of the
United States. It was an honor to the town
as well as to the individual, and as such was
fully recognized. Another honor, of still
loftier distinction, has just come, and all un-
sought, to another worthy and esteemed
citizen of Norwalk. \Vc refer to the elec-
tion, a few days ago, at St. Louis, of Rev.
Col. Anderson, to be the Grand Chaplain of
the Grand Army Association of the United
States. The lionOrs conferred upon Mr.
Hyatt are official and political. The honor
bestowed upon Mr. Anderan comes from
higher considerations of personal love and
patriotism. The comrades of our State
Grand Army Association _ and of Bucking-
ham Post of N orwalk, of both Of which
organizations he is also chaplain, may especi-
ally feel a thrill of honest pride and joy over
the high honor thus conferred, while old
Norwalk is also to be congratulated that one
of lierpdopted sons is so beloved and so dis-
tinguished for piety and valor, as to have
conferred upon him a rank so exalted by
the survivors of those whose heroism amid
the fire and smoke of battle, saved this
glorious Union.

New York, Danbury and. Boston.
In the company’s office, at 96 Broadway,
the stockholders of the New York, Danbury
and Boston Railroad Company held their
annual meeting. They re-elected their old
Board of dircétors, talked over the plans
which have been made to build and equip
the line, and heard what the oflicers of the
company had to tell them of the new syndi-
cate which is being formed to carry out this
work.
. This syndicate, an officer of the company
told a Times reporter, was being organized
to build the road and hold it, not as a part
of a system, but as an independent property,
making conn'ections with any line that
wante to do so. From Danbury to Port-
chester the line runs straight across the
country, and not only has the route been
picked out, but the right of way has either
been bought or contracted for. From Port-
cliester to the Bronx River the read will
run over one of the routes which have been
carefully surveyed and mapped out. biit no
one of the three has yet been definitely
settled upon by the company. The rear,
however. will run between the Harlem
Railroad and the I’ortchester branch of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford road,
making a connection with the Suburban
Rapid Transit trains. From Danbury to
the Bronx River, over the projected line, is
50 miles, about 15 miles less than by the
present route over the New York, New
Haven
Norwaik Division of the Housatonic road,
and correspondingly less than the route via
Bridgeport. In Connecticut the New York,
Danbury and Boston Company has absorbed
old State charters, under which some $300,-
000 has been expended, the roudbed having
been graded in some places. As a New
York City outlet for theNew York and New
England, the road will be an interesting
factor,
When the syndicate takes up the work
, it will be given its representation in the
Board of Directors, the present board being
. necessarily a temporary body..-.—_.¥. If. Times

- The Sparrow Pest In America.
The American Government have issued
a report on the subject of the EDS-ills“
sparrow in the United States, written by
Dr. C. IIart Merriam, ornitlioiogist t0 the
Department of Agriculture. In this it is
declared that this bird “is a curse of such
virulence that it ought to be systematically
attacked and destroyed before it becomes
necessary to deplete the public treasury
for the purpose, as has been done in other
countries.” He therefore makes live re-
commendatioris :~—First, the immediate rc—
peal of all laws which afford protection to
the sparrow. Next, laws should be
enacted legalizing the killing of the SPIN"
row at all seasons of the year, and the
destruction of its nests, eggs, and young.
Thirdly, "the enactment of laws making
it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or
imprisonment, or both, to (a), intentionally
give food and shelter to the sparrow. 07(-
ccpt with a view to its ultimate destruc-
ti0“; 0" (b), introduce, or aid in intro-
ducirig, it into new localities; 0l' (0). I"-
tcrfcre with persons, means, or appliances
engaged 111. or (lesigncd for, its destruc—
tion, or the destruction of its eggs or
young." 'Fourtliiy, laws should be passed
to protect the great northern Shrike or
butcher bird, the sparrow hawk, and the
scrccch-owl, which species feed largely on
the sparrow. Fiftlily, that laws should be
passed to appoint officials to destroy spar-
rows. Dr. Mcrriarn believes it is not ex-
pedicnt to offer hountics for tire destruc—
tion of sparrows, as at the present time it
is desirable and perfectly feasible to bring
about a great reduction in their ranks by
helpful legislation such as that suggested
above, and without drawing on the public
purse."

Deafness Can’t be Cured
By local applications as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the car.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When thistubc gets inflamed,
you have arumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and whcn'it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in-
flammatidn can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucus surfaces. '
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrli)
that we cannot cure by taking Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circular free.
