The Tramp Once More.

There is general irruption once more of tramps. Accounts of their impudent and vii olent behavior are coming in from many parts of the State. Our State law, so severe against the tramping fraternity, that from the day of it's passage until the present spring it has practically freed Connecticut from the ugly presence of ''the tramp" and afforded relief and rest to the alarmed feminine part of most households, is still in force. But the people are no longer as wide awake to the necessity of driving cut these troublesome offenders as they were when the law was en- acted. The tramps, frightened off when the law was frstsput in force by. the posted pla- cards in every township, and fleeing to other regions, are evidently taking courage and re- turning. They seem to be pouring into
 Connecticut in battahons. Many of them come in the guise of peddlers going from house to house with'some trifing merchandise exhi-
 bited as cover, and watching their opportu- mites to steal or to commit crimes. After they have perpetratee one or two felonious outrages, public feeling against these tramps will again be aroused, and few arrests will send the entire gang scurrying back into the neighboring States from which they come.- :H0gtfo7Y5 II1aes -.'

 Furtherance of the Project.

From Meriden to CromvyeIl-A Visit I'm
 Furtherance of the Project.
 President Wilcox of the Meriden Britannia company, and President Babcock, of the Connecticut Valley railroad. visited Cromwell on Wednesday in furtherance of project of connecting Meriden with Cromwell by rail, which will give water facilities as we'll as ad- ditional railroad facilities to Meriden. They found no typographical objection to the pro- ject The Hartford Times says
 ''The little Meriden mountain even has been fitted by nature with notch or ravine for the road to run through, so that but very little work will be required there. The dis tance from Meriden to Cromwell is about nine miles and the mountain notch is about three miles from Meriden. There will be one stream and one highway to bridge. The stream is known Little or Sebetha river, and it will have to be bridged at point above the Westfeld station of the Consolid- ated branch road, and the branch will also be crossed here. The stream here is about 40 feet vide One highway in Westfeld will have to be bridged, and the other highways can be crossed at grade.
 ''The proposed road will cross the Valley road at Cromwell near Buckley Adams Ho- tel, ahd the track will run to the river, where mcIluou ChplLal1SGS nave alroaQy .purCuaSeu d water frontage of 1000 feet. The purchase includes the entire front from Stocking s store to Quarry dock, where wharves will be built for transferring coal from barges to the cars and such other freight as may be ship ped from New York.
 By connecting with the Valley at Crom- we'll the new road will give the Meriden peo- pie, when the Valley extension is completed to Springfield, freighting facilities east west and south, and make them quite independ- ent of the Consolidated road. With th1s road completed to Cromwell the next move which has been talked of is to build road to Cheshire, and from there to Waterbury, connecting with the New York and New Eng I land and Naugatuck railroads at that point, and crossing the Canal road in Cheshire. There is no doubt but that this scheme will be of great benefit to Meriden, and it looks now as though our wide awake neighbors had about made up their minds to put it through. At all events the purchase of the water frontage at Cromwell and the calling in of President Babcock to consult as to the prac- ticability of the project looks like business, and before long our Mer1den friends may be open to congratulations over it's consumma- tion.''
