 The policy ef renewal or practical rebuild Ing ot the road, which has been recommend ed in previous reports, has been continued during the past year and the work reported in the last annual report as in progress has been completed Steel rail hns been laid from the crossing of the Naugatuck railroad at Derby to the terminus of the road at An sonia, thus completing the laying of steel rails throughout the road. The trestle work over the Naugatuck river near Ansonia has received extensive repairs. Embankment has been substituted for trestle work through out so much of the road as is located be- tween West river meadows and the Derby dock. Six hundred feet of the piling south of the Derby causeway has been replaced by an embankment and the remaining nine hundred and eighty has been entirely rebuilt. The depot grounds at Orange have been en- larged by filling so as to afford convenient opportunity for receiving and delivering freight at that station The trestles which have supported the bridge at the road crossings have been or are being replaced by stone abutments During the year over 132, GOO cubic feet of solid masonry have thus been laid in abutnents. The roll ing stock of the road has been kept in pair andone passenger car designed for the business with the Naugatuck road has been added to the equipments. The earnings of the road the past year, like those of about all railroads, have fallen off somewhat, but the little Derby shows better record in this respect than most roads.

HEADQUARTERS
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE, HorruAN HoTrSE NEyU YoRx Nov q

DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE,
 HOFFMAN HOUSE, NEW YORK, Nov. 9.
 We deem it our duty to announce to the people of the State that the Republican man. agers have, within the last forty-eight hours, conceived a new scheme for throwing again into dispute the result of the election in our State. For many days after the election they, in entire bad faith, claimed for the Republican candidate several States which they knew they had not carried. In the same bad faith, when every source of infor- nation, including the Associated Press, has demonstrated that the vote of New York has been given to the Cleveland electors, they still claim the State. No fact of history is now better known than that the result of the election as ascertained, declared and certified by the election officers and of public record throughout the State gives New York to the Cleveland electors by decisive plurality. These public certified returns have been sifted in the several coun- ties by both parties with the most conscien- tious care during the last four days until every possible doubt as to the result has been removed. Knowing this fact they now propose as last desperate resort to make of the boards of county can vassers throughout the State, where con trolled by them, so many returning boards after the pattern of those not long since used by them in the southern States. Wherever the boards fail them judicial orders are to be applied for. Thus relying upon the partisanship of the boards in the, first place and of judges of their own political faith in the second, they intend and expect to throw into dispute the result of the election and involve it in inter minable litigation. To this .. end printed papers have been sent by them to their agents and representatives in every county in the State of New York to be used with the courts whenever an occasion cah be manu- factured Of the entire reliability of our information as to this scheme there can be no question. We call upon the representatives of the party in the various counties in this State to be alert and by every proper method to resist and defeat this last desperate device. And mindful of the grave consequences to the business interests of our State which such a conspiracy necessa- rily involves, we deem it our duty to assure our people, who have now generally acquiesced in the result, that they may confidently rely that by no such scheme or device will the State be deprived of the re- suit of it's deliberate choice. It may disturb and protraot the determination; it will not change the result ". B. SMITH,

A Hull i'm POlitfcs-But aa Absorbing Interest i'm the ResuIt-The Comm1t- tee Still at Their Posts-C1aims of Mistakes in the Returns.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-There was a de cided lun in politics to-day. The political headquarters of both parties were almost de- serted and save that the committees have not yet resolved themselves into their original element and are still at their post it would hardly be suspected that great and excit- ing presidential contest had just passed over Nevertheless there is little
 besides politics spoken of in the streets, and no matter how the conversation begins it is sure to end with Blaine and Cleveland. The Democratic National committee sat in room 75 of the
 Fifth Avenue Hotel all day, and although
 little business was done the conversation was
 animated MT. Barnum left town on Satur-
 day night but will return tomorrow morn ing. Colonel Tracy, MT. James and MT.
 Whitney were present, and were kept pretty busy receiving reporters and furnishing them with information. Col onel Tracy said to United Press reporter: There is little doubt but that mistakes will he found when the official count shall be made, but they are as liable to be on one side as the other. Thus if this sort of thing is persisted in AS votes in Chatauqua county will be found on our side, 100 in Delaware, and so on. And remember the Supreme court decided in 1876 that no investigation could get behind the board of canvass record. Mr. Smith, of the State committee, said that there were no further developments. The leaders of both parties were in anxious con sultation all day long. The Republicans gave out that discrepancies of from 5000 to 4,000 votes had been discovered in favor of Mir. Blaine.
 The advisory committee of the Democratic organizations tonight resolved to send able lawyers to every county in this State to be present at the official canvass of the vote.
 The off platoons of police which have been reserve duty at all the police stations since Tuesday night were to-day ordered off duty, there being no longer any apprehen- sion of election riots

DilatOry Inspectors Held For Trial.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The four inspectors of the twenty-fourth election district of the First assembly district, who were arrested Saturday night for not filing the returns, were brought before Justice Duffy at the Tombs to-day. Assistant District Attorney Paris appeared for the people and Frank Fitzgerald as counsel for the accused. Mir. Fitzgerald asked for an adjournment of the case to allow time for preparing suitable defense Justice Duffy said it was an impor- tant case and should not be delayedi He was reluctant to postpone the hearing, but upon MT. Paris stating that he was willing to have the case go over one day the justice said he would set it down for to- morrow afternoon, when counsel must be ready for trial. Bail was fixed at $3, GOO for the chairman of the inspectors and $2,000. for each of the three inspectors, in default of which they were again locked up. There were but few politicians present. Chief of the Bureau of Elections O'Brien was in court on another matter. He laughed when spoken to about the rumor of his arrest.

 stThe Republican National committee are taking the most careful and thorough meas ures to ascertain errors, if any have been made and frauds, if any have been com rnitted, in the returns of the late election in the State of New York. If Mir. Cleveland shall be found to have plurality of even one vote, prompt acquiescence will follow from the Republicans of the United States. If MT. Blaine shall be found to have a plurality of only one vote, the prompt acquiescence will be expected from the Democrats of the United States
 ssThe belief of this committee, founded upon investigation, is that Mir. Blaine hGs a plurality of several hundred votes, and if that be so every honest man will demand that it be officially declared. "Until the official declaration shall sne
