Engineer Rose Acquitted.

The Investigation Winds Up Yesterday
Mr. Rose Vind1cated.
The justice trial of Engineer George NJ.
Rose, charged with: manslaughter, was re-
sumed in Stamford yesterday. Mrs. Charles
H. Knapp was called for the State and said
she heard the train and a whistle blown but
could not tell whether it came from the up
or the down train. John w. Weeks also tes-
titled that he was positive that no other train
passed and that the whistle was not blown.
Merritt Scofeld, of Stamford, for the de-
tense, testified that he was on the
train and heard the whistle blown.
D. B. Reynolds, of Stamford, a
commuter, heard the whistle while coming
Selleck crossing. j. E. Allen, engineer of
the down train due in Stamford at 6:35 D. M,
testified that he passed Roses train the night
of May II, just west of the second bridge
from Selleck's crossing. He (Allen) did not
blow his whistle while going through the
cut. The witness illustrated by going through
the motions of the work of an engineer while
on his locomotive, the movements made in
shutting off steam, reversing engine, bell
ringing and footing the whistle.
The accused took the stand in his own be-
half and made the same statement substan-
TALLY that he did before the coroner's jury.
He was positive that he blew the whistle at
the post and rang the bell while going
through the cut. His fireman shouted to him
just as the team reached the track. He i'm
mediately shut off the steam and applied the
air brakes. He was shortly cross-examined
by the attorney for the State, but without
changing his testimony in the least Miss
Elizabeth B. Williams, who lives near the
scene of the accident, heard the whistle ana
not knowing whether it was freight or the
passenger train went to the window to see.
Other witnesses for the defense who heard
the whistle and SO testified were: Gilbert
D. Hall, William Fl. Nichols, Matthew Bray
and G. W. Baldwin the last two are brake
men on Roses train. By consent, the writ
ten testimony of Gilbert G. Smith, the mail
agent on the same train, was admitted as
evidence Smith heard the whistle and had
to wait until the blowing ceased SO that he
could continue his conversation with gen.
tleman friend. He was familiar with the
locality and was positive the whistle blew at
the proper place.
After listening to lengthy arguments JUS
tlce Keller found not probable cause and
ordered Engineer Roses discharge. The
court added that if the case had been SUBJ
mltted to him without arguments he should
not have hesitated a moment to discharge
the accused. By this decision Rose is vindi-

Street Committee.

Considerable Business and Various Inn
provements.
The Street committee held a meeting last
evening in rooms 10 and IL, City Hall. The
matter of a concrete driveway across the
Green on Temple street was considered. J.
W. Pond, president of the Board of Public
Works, appeared in favor of the project. He
thought that the appearance of the Green
would he beautifed if there was good pave
ment there which could be kept clean instead
of the mud hole as at present. John G.
North thought it should be kept as laid out
a Green, and not a passageway for
all teams. His idea was to have
place for women and children. The
committee recommended that the matter be
indefinitely postponed. Recommended that
sidewalk be laid on the north
side of Munson street between Dix
well and Shelton avenues to be finished by
August 10, 1888. The matter of crosswalks
on the street was referred to the Board of
Public Works. Recommended that a con-
crete walk be laid on the east side of Dow
ming street between Pine and Lombard streets
to be finished by September 1, 1888.
Recommended that concrete sidewalk be
laid on both sides of Greenwich avenue from
Kimberly avenue to Third street on or be-
fore September ], 1888.
Recommended that concrete walk be laid
on the south side of Prince street from No.
"a to Hill street by September 1, 1888.

lege street. between Elm and Wall streets,

Tickets by the Different Roads.

Acceptance or All Kinds of street Caf
Tickets by the Different Roads.
Yesterday the tickets of any horse rail-
road company in the city were for the first
time received as fares on every other road
in the city. Yesterday also for the first
timel every road commenced to sell, five
tickets for quarter of dollar. This is in
accordance with the promise which Hoadley
B. Ives, the president of the Westville road,
made last winter before the Legislature. A
considerable number of tickets was thus re-
ceived on the Fair Haven cars. On this
road the sale of five tickets for 25 cents on
the cars has now been in operation about
year and works very satisfactorily. This
new arrangement 1T should be borne in mind,
does not affect transfer checks from one
part of a road to another part of road OF
the same company, nor the West Haven
road beyond the city limits.

The Old Amerfcus Club House.

The old Americus Club House at Green
wich has been overhauled the past spring to
such an extent that it hardly locks like the
same place. The old house remains, but
new barns and billiard rooms have been
erected. The old big Six" liberty cap is
still to be seen on an iron pole, which is
embedded in a rock a few feet above tide
water, and the aces of spades, clubs, hearts
and diamonds painted on the rocks about the
house have not yet been erased, and serve to
bring wildly to mind the once regal splen-
dor of the Americus Club House.

well fitted up rooms, first class fare and po-
lite and attentive walters this model hotel is
noted, and as consequence is always filed
