 In Wallingford recently Miss Carrie Fenn recovered her musical talents which had lain dormant owing to spinal disease with which she was prostrated three years ago. She has recovered her bodily health in a measure. As child she was an accomplished musician before her sickness, when every vestige of that talent disappeared, until one day this week she mlraculously and suddenly recov- cred her musical talents and became capable of playing the most difficult music with her old-time skill. She had been treated by the most skillful physicians, kut no one antici- pRted this wonderful change.

The House,

The House was called to order by Speaker Pine at 10 o'clock. Prayer was offered by Chaplain Stone.
 Various matters from the Senate were giv- en concurrent action.
 The conference committee reported a sub stitute bill on act relating to jurors and fees in jury warrants, and the bill was passed. Concurred in amending bill regarding iu- dicial expenses so that Superior court judges shall be allowed expenses for attending meet ings for judicial purposes.
 Mir. Cowles, of Norwalk, moved to recon
 sider the action on the bill prohibiting rail road grade crossings. He thought it had not been thoroughly understood when passed. Messrs Simonds and Perry opposed any such action unless good reasons were given. Mr. Andrews, of New Britain, favored it. MT Cowles said that the bill would impose g burden of expense that only few roads could sustain. The bill could roads, and still accomplish all that was de sired in protecting life at crossings. Mir. Middleton, of Enfield, took the same view. and favored reconsideration. MT. Gris- wold, of Rocky Hill, said the bill was i'm practicable. and thought something better | might be suggested which would protect life | and not subject the railroads 10 such an enormous expense. Mir. Perry said that picayune penuriousness when human life is at stake is condemned by the public and the press. A railroad that cannot afford to amply protect it's crossings cannot afford to exist at all MT. Nickerson, of Cornwall, op- posed reconsideration. MT. Lockwood, of Bridgeport, thought the action of yesterday a step in advance and did not want it recon sidered
 The motion to reconsider was finally tabled and the order of the day was taken up, being bill giving the railroad commissioners pow CT to pass upon an application for 8 new railroad, and determine whether or not 1t is public convenience or necessity; the bill provides for giving due notice to land own CTS where property is to be taken, and ad- mlts of an appeal to the Superior court when property owners are dissatisfied.
 MT. Simonds, of Canton, acting under the unanimous instruction of the committee
 said he offered amendments striking ont
 from the bill everything allowing propertv
 owners to appeal from the commissioners to
 the courts.
 MT. Glover, of Fairfield, offered an amend
 ment doing away with the provision that the
 railroad shall publish in the newspapers mo-
 tices of any hearing, and the names of all
 the property owners interested, with the
 land proposed to be taken. He thought that
 provision might prove troublesome one.
 The amendment was adopted.
 Mr. Simonds said. in response to an in
 quiry, that in the first place the Railroad
 committee were opposed to incorporating the
 provision allowing an appeal to the courts in
 the bill, but they had done so at the instance
 of those who feared that the commissioners
 might lean towards the old roads, The new
 roads wanted the right of appeal taken, be.
 cause they dreaded the endless litieation it
 might involve. The committee had under

 The Rev. Henry M. Ladd, D.

 Our citizens are very much exercised over the sad and fatal accident at Main street crossing of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad on Tuesday afternoon last by which young Frankie Powers met his sad and untimely death. The victim of this &C., cident was an unusually bright boy. He was instantly killed. This crossing has long been noted as being very dangerous one and often our citizens have tried to have it protected in some manner. Express trains rush over the crossing both ways at very high rate of speed that should not be all lowed if the crossing is to remain in it's pres ent condition. It is rumored that a town meeting will soon be called, asking the &c., lectmen to call out the railroad commission CTS in regard to the matter.

Friends of Officer Melia express surprise at the action of the Board of Police Com missioners in discharging him from the force, and express the view that full board would reconsider and reinstate the officer to some position on the force. The officer, they state, has been faithful and efficient, valorous when necessary and man who exercised dis cretion in the discharge of his duties, often preventing breaches of the peace and disor- officer claimed that he used, in joke, the language he did to the roundsmen and meant no disrespect. The police think he hurt himself most by his answers before the Board. Melia was utterly dumbfounded on learning that he had been "bounced, not having the slightest expectation of such a result.
