Alarm Signals.

The Gramby System of Police Signals Which is Likely tO be Tried in New Ha- ven.
 A special meeting of the police commission CTS will be held this evenizg for the purpose
 of considering proposition from the Gram
 by Fire Alarm and Telegraph company to
 put up signal stations for the police force in
 different parts of the outskirts of the city
 The Gramby system is extensively used in Chicago with good results W. A. Wendell,
 an agent of the company, has been in the city recently advocating the use of the sys- tenn. In that system each station consists of | 8 sentry box on which is placed 8 street lamp ] and keys to the box are distributed as fire alarm keys are among responsible citizens l in the neiehborhood. Inside the station is 1 an iron box containing a telegraph signal ap- paratus and also 8 telephone, keys to l which patrolmen are alone provided with. From this box different signals may be sent, indicating at the central station | whether the emergency which gives rise to
 the alarm is fire, murder, robbery or some other occurrence detrimental to the public peace and necessitating the attendance of ad- ditional help. Of course the telephone may | be used in connection with the signal alarm. The messages sent by the latter are automat. | ically registered at the main station. In other cities using the system team is always in | readiness to carry officers from headquarters | to the scene of the trouble and facilities for this branch of the service will doubtless be provided in case of the adoption of the sys- tenn here.

Poor Chi1dren,s Excursion.

V The nay Set For saturday, sSpts 1.-The
 Contributions Received More Money
 Needed.
 The general committee on fresh air and children's excursion was slow in getting around at the Union ofice last evening, but when Coroner Bollman, Frank Hermance and few others arrived the business was lively and considerable business was transacted. In the first place Chairman Troup remarked that perhaps, all things considered, the gen. erous offer of Hon. John H.. Starin to fur nish his largest barge and the necessary mo- tive power on September 1st should be ac- cspted. This was done unanimously. The barge will accommodate considerably over 4,- GOO children. The day is as convenient as the committee could have selected as it is the Saturday before the children go into the schools and the teachers, whose assistance on the exsursion will be very valuable, will have returned. The refreshment committee were instructed to make arrangements for obtaining provisions, for the method of distributing them, etc., to report at the next meeting of the general committee, which takes place at the office of the Grand Opera | House next Monday evening at o'clock. The committee consists of the following: Messrs F. s. Andrew W. H. H. Hewitt, 1 Rev. J. G. Ross, w. H. Sanford; l., E. Jer- ome, F. H. Waldron, S. s. Thompson, F. A. Hermance, Hugh Daley aud Charles R. Whedon, the last three gentlemen being added to the committee last evening. The chairman stated that there had been received in response to the circulars sent out contri buttons as follows: Professor E. B. Sails bury, $5; Messrs. J. D. Dewel & Co.,, $5; MT. Wilbur F. Day, $5; Captain Wilkins, $5; MT. B. M. Reed, $25; Mr. G. A. Butler $2; Mir. J. Porter, $5; Mrs. J. B. Robertson, $5; 8 friend by Mrs. Robertson. $5; Mir. H. P. Hubbard, $25; Mr. James Reynolds, $5 Mr. Arthur D.. Osborne, $2.; Mr.. John H. Leeds, $5. Besides these sums there is $182 in the treasury, but considerable more money 1 is needed. The proposal is to have tickets distributed among the poor children of the city, and then marshal the children by com panies of twenty five or one hundred on one of the city Greens, each company being in command of some lady. The time for as- sembling the children will be a. m., and they will be brought home by p. n. Invi- tations to the children of the New Haven and St. Francis orphan asylums will be ex tended Every one interested in this benev- olent undertaking will be welcomed at the next meeting of the general committee on next Monday.

RaiIroad Matters.

Revival of fInteFest in the saugatuck
 Valley RaiIroad Project-4artford and
 HarIem.A RumOr-The Hearing Re-
 neVved To-day i'm this City.
 The project of building branch of the Consolidated railroad northward from Vest port through Weston and Bedding to Red ding Ridge is again revived. The distaneei is 12 or Is miles. route for such road was surveyed twenty years ago, but the scheme failed from want of financial encouragement. Recently President Watrous and Vice Presi- dent Reed made 8 tour of inspection over the line and decided that the route was feasible one. They are said to have given assurances that in case sufficient local capital can be raised to secure the right of way and provide the road bed, the depots and rail lay ing, the Consolidated road will furnish rails and roll ing stock and operate the road at very req sonable figures. The line would prove desirable feeder to the Consolidated road and would be of great advantage to the towns of Westport, Weston and Bedding.
 Among the street rumors is one that the capitalists who are backing the Hartford and Harlem railroad project have $2,000,O 900 on deposit in the city banks in readiness to pay the land damages in the western district and along the other portions of the route that may be assessed, as soon as the layout is ap- proved by the railroad commissioners.
 This morning at 10 o'clock the railroad commissioners resume the hearing in regard to the layout of the proposed Hartford and Harlem railroad. They will be in session to- day and tomorrow.
 The New York.and New England railroad company's excursion to Rocky Point Sunday was well patronized.
 The New York and New England railroad company on Sunday last began to use it's newly constructed second track between Yer non and Burnside, and between Hartford and Newington. On Wednesday it began to use it's second track between Franklin and South BeIlingham. This gives the company 8 double track for almost thirty-three miles out of Boston, and for about eighteen miles in the vicinity of Hartford. The work on the other portions of the double track be- tween Boston and Hartford is being rapidly pushed forward, and other portions of the line will soon be ready for use.
 Negotiations have been completed by which all the through traffic will run via State Line and Boston Corners, the Connecticut West ern company having secured long lease of that portion of the Poughkeepsie line, which will in future terminate at Boston Corners. The track on this newly-leased line is being put in thorough order, to conform with the high standing of the entire length of the Hartford and Connecticut Western line. This company now has an unbroken line from Hartford to the Hudson river. When the West Shore Line is completed to Buffalo 8 new through western route will be added to those already in operation, and direct connection with the Connecticut Western can be made by transfer boat at Rhinebeck.
