THE sLITrLE DERBY. ,,


 Meeting of the stockhoIders Yester- day-TaIk1ng About a Much Needed Connection With the New England Road.
 The stockholders of the Derby Railroad company held their annual meeting at 1O2 Orange street yesterday at Ii a.. m. Those who were present were Mayor Lewis, Joel A. SpeTy, 0. L. English, N. W. Hine, M. Barnes, W. B. Goodyear, Judge Miller, Peck Speny, F. E. Harrison, S. Harrison Wagner of New Haven, and Edward N. Shelton, F. s. Cornell and W. E. Downes of Birming- ham.
 Joel A. Sperry, the president of the com pany, called the meeting to order. The an- nual reports of the secretary and treasurer were accepted, after an explanation by the treasurer, Charles -Atwater, that the net earnings in the printed report, of $65, CA, were larger by $400, owing to change in the line damages and losses, D from $677.9 to the amount as mentioned.
 The old board of directors were reelected l as follows: Herrick P Frost, Isaac Ander- son, Charles Atwater, Charles L. English, N. D. Sperry, J. A. Spery, M. F. Tyler, John P. Futile, New Haven R. M. Bassett, William E. Downes, Birmingham; Thomas Wallace, F. Farrell, George P. Cowles, An sonia
 E. N. Shelton, of Derby, exhibited pro- file map of a suggested connection between | the end of the Derby road and the New York and New England road, at Sandy Hook. With the connection made, by building only 1 fifteen miles of road, at cost of $2OO,O or about $20, 900 mile, connection would be made with the great coal fields of Penn | sylvania, and the entire railroad system ot | the West.
 MT: Shelton explained that the grade ot this fifteen miles of connecting road was only 200 feet coming to the eastward, which ! would make transportation very easy, and l it would be an almost direct route to Dan 1 bury and thence westward There would 1 have to be built bridge over the Housa tonic river at a cost of $60, 900, but this would be cheaper than to run the road or the west bank of the river, owing to rocks and the construction would cost one-thirG less than to build on the eastern bank of the river. The estimate of cost mentioned was l without including the cost of equipment of the road. If built this connection must cheapen coal to people in New Haven. The cost of handling a ton oi coal was said to be one cent tor for each time. As now brought here i was handled five times, thus adding fvt cents to the cost of each ton. Coal more over would not be subjected to delays il winter from a freezing of water facili ties The connection would reach near ly all the great anthracite fields and some O the bituminous. The route would be a short to the West as by Springfield ana cheaper by the mile. Then there were thu connecting advantages of Bridgeport to b. looked at, as in favor of this new enterprise
 Mayor Lewis also spoke of the great need of some such connection. Our manufacture used the road.
 No action was taken, but the meeting ap pointed the president, secretary and treas urer committee to confer with New Havel authorities concerning the adjustment of tn debt of the Derby to the city. The meeting | then adioTrnrd

On the oth- CT hand, men of sense and money in Bridgeport have proposed forming a syndi- cate to buy me out. always intend to do as I agree, and am therefore ready, but not anx- ious, to do so in this case, because all danger of introducing the pernicious free trade system in this country has passed away, probably forever.

No one firm can have all the bargains. We are all "pegging away at it' all the time, and now one man gets the lead on one thing, and then another has the best of 1t on something else When any dealer says he sells every thing cheaper than all the rest, it may safely be set down as mere talk. Now, if there IS one thing more than another we want to avoid. it is having people regard our adver- tisements as ''mere talk" Many of our ad- vertisements are only announcements or the arrival of new goods, or reminders of regular lines in which we usually excel, and which we wish to keep under public notice; 6ut when we say that anything we~otter IS Especial bargain" or is lower than it can be got for elsewhere, we are very careful to be well informed that it is so Anyone who has compared our promises with our per formances lately in the matter of Hannels, fine twill dress goods, Venetian cloths, cloaks, etc., will admit that we do not fool the pub lie.

 The employees of the Branford Lock factory who went out on strike Monday because of notice from the company of 8 reduction of 10 per cent in their wages held meetings yesterday and organized workingmen's so- ciety for their mutual protection and benefit.

Later in the day he stated that the company had decided to make no cut in the wages and that all the employees would be taken back at their old wages As this was satisfactory, the opera tives assented and said they would resume work this morning. The affair created a great deal of excitement in the town, but everything has now resumed it's old-time quiet.
 The wages paid are as follows: $2 and ! $2 25 for moulders, $1 to g to lock filters $1 to $1.50 to polishers and $1.50 to labor. | ers
