A Pleasant Time.

The visit of Montowese Lodge, I. O. O. E. :, of New Haven to Arcanum Lodge of this city Wednesday evening was one of those pleas ant occasions long remembered by those par ticipating in it's enjoyments. The New Haven party to the number of about seventy-fiye ar- rived on the half-past eight train and were met at the depot by delegation from Area mum and the Excelsior drum corps. and es- corted to the hall in Burroughs building. The exercises which followed were of the most interesting character. Among those who made remarks were Noble Grand J. W. Stevenson, Vice Grand William J. Mills
 Past Grands Gambsy, Goodenough and Wright, and Past Grand William H. Steven son and Rev. E. W. Maxcy of Arcanum. It was half past ten before the speeches and so
 cia1 exercises were over. To say that they had been enjoyed by all present would be drawing it very mild indeed An adjournment was made to the Sterling House. where the party
 about 125 in number, were seated at splen- did banquet prepared for them by Mr. Whit ing. The bill of fare was all that could be desired, the tables were handsomely set and the viands were well served. The speech making which had been assigned for this stage of the proceedings did not take place in consequence of the lateness of the hour
 Thanks for the hearty and cordial reception the lodge had met with were returned by Noble Grand Stevenson, of Montowese, who intimated that the compliment would proba- bly, be returned before long by the New Ha- ven brethren. The party went home on the 1915 train after cheers had been exchanged between the two lodges. The management of the affair was an entire success, and the friendly feelings between the two organiza- tions was cemented frmer than ever by the pleasant meeting. -B7I6gep0rt F07naer.

Shoots His Wife.

On Wednesday evening George Broad. brook, of Bridgeport, painter by trade and residing on Railroad avenue, while in an in. toxicated condition shot his wife, the ball in. | hicting severe but not dangerous wound. The ball, which was from an ordinary Smith & Wesson five shooter, entered the flesh al the lower part of the left breast and pene. trated the flesh to the depth of about three. quarters of an inch, where rib stopped and dehected it. After glancing from the rib fl ploughed under the flesh about two inches and lodged directly over the heart Dr. G. F. Lewis followed the course of the ball with probe, but did not attempt to extract it. It is said that Broadbrook, though ordinarily industrious and well behaved, sometimes drinks to excess, and that this has led to many unpleasant scenes between himself and his wife. About six months ago there was some trouble between them and Broadbrook then threatened his wife with shooting The threat alarmed her so much that she brought the pistol to Chief Marsh who kept it for about three weeks. Broadbrook says that he came home from his work sober enough but afterwards went back to the shop to get some tool he had left, and while absent bought pint of whiskey and drank it. He pro. fesses absolute ignorance of the shooting, and judging from his manner evidently speaks truthfully in that particular His wife does not appear to desire his punish. ment, although she testified against him ir court without hesitation.

The Railroads.

The Norwalk Gaaette says that the line for new railroad now being located by the Van derbilt surveyors will make good and safe road, and one which can be run at great speed, as the grade and curvatures will be less than on competing lines in this State. The present line of the Parallel road is al- most identical with the line for which the New York and New Haven road was char tered, and would have been built over, except for sharp piece of legislation. A new chief engineer changed the original survey 50 as to get g cheaper right of way, and as a consequence the road, in nearly every town except Bridgeport, was run below the line of population. The Gazette thinks the report that Vanderbilt has closed bargain with the Parallel managers is at least premature.
 The work of changing the track of the Canal railroad in Hamden to the new location is completed. The track is now located at a distance from the highway, the nearest ap- proach being 800 feet, the most distant near 1y mile. The change involved six miles of track. The work has been approved by the railroad commissioners. It cost about $100, 900, of which $14, ,0o0 was paid by the town. There are no grade crossings.
