 The grade crossings of the State, those elusive iokers, have been counted again, and this time they foot up 1915 That's enough Newtown, with forty, is the banner town. The Hartford Courant says in it's review of the report as follows:
 Mineral oil is used for lighting on every road, and is all that is used, save on two roads. The commissioners do not think the danger at present is such as to authorize for bidding oil immediately. However, they say they shall order the adoption of electricity if they find ''that this mode of lighting will not materially exceed that of oil." (They prob ably refer to the amount of cost, not to the amount of light). Nearly every road uses 'stoves" for heating. They have notified the companies that after 'this season" they may expect an order forbidding heating by fires in cars. The destructive work of the deadly coupler is suggested Forty-six more employees were injured than year ago. After all, this is the most destructive of all the methods of killing that the railroads have in troduced.
 In view of the attitude said to be taken by the former owners of the Housatonic, who sold out before they meant to, and of the hostility of the new management to the Con- solidated road, two pages of criticism fur nished by the board on the proposed increase of Housatonic stock are particularly enter taining reading. This matter came up ap- parentIy after the date of the report; but it is discussed st length, and, after stating the attitude of able counsel on each side of the legality of the action, which, however, they say no holder of the securities objects to, they drop it again not an occasion for them to interfere.
 It is a very readable report, but it is sadly mute as to the Hartford depot; not word about that

A further hearing in the Jung had be- fore Judge Robertson yesterday. About January George Jung went to Brooklyn and married a daughter of Michael Alderman, boarding house keeper Shortly after his marriage he died, leav- ing $3ooo. According to the laws of New York State the wife takes 900 more than half, while according to the laws of Connecticut the wife is titled to but onehalf. This would give Jacob Jung the brother of the deceased $1,5Oo which urer the law of New York he would not be entitled to- It is therefore important the part of the guardian of Jacob Jung, the brother of the deceased that he show the court that George Jung intended to live New Haven. If it is shown that he was a resident of New York his widow will get the whole amount At the last hearing upon the matter Mr. Alderman said 1t was the intention of his sonnaw to live in Brooklyn, and he based his testimony on the fact that George had told him so before he married his daughter: Yesterday Jacob Jung tried to show that the deceased intended to reside in New Ha- ven Conrad Throm, Congress avenue barber, John Bannegarten, Oscar Moessner, John Schafer all testified to conversations held with Jacob Jung They said he told all Of them that he intended to come back to New Haven after he married

 ''I wish through your valuable paper to express the pleasure experienced in listen- ing to the concert given Friday evening at the firemen's ball by the Wheeler 6 Wilson band under their new leader, MT. Streit. It seemed to me that the band never was heard to better advantage. and I was not the only one who remarked it; nothing but praise was heard on all sides. Mir. Streit showed him self to be thorough and competent leader. The first number of the programme was the march ''Sassacus," and was composed by MT Streit; and it was q consonance of rich melo- dy that deserved the applause it received. And judging from this first sample of his work heard in this city we may look forward with pleasure to his future compositions Take the concert programme throughout, it was played in faultless manner, and doubt less under its new leader the band will sur pass it's past reputation. In closing wish to congratulate the Wheeler 6 Wilson band on their wise selection of leader. Of Mir.

 ring. There are distinct treddles for the feet that may be used in case the boiler be- comes exhausted or the machinery from any cause does not werk
 While this new "cycle" may, and probably will, become very popular, there is one fea- ture of it that strikes us as trifle inconven- ient to say the least. We refer to the boiler being placed directly beneath the riders seat, where in case of explosion it would probably do him some considerable damage.
 It is 8 peculiar fact that may strike many of our readers, and that is that the human body as locomotive apparatus is not alto gether unlike the new steam tricycle., for the greatest danger to life lies in the very part of the machine that furnishes the propelling power. Our muscles are our means of mo- tion, but they receive their impetus or im- pulses from the brain and nerves, and should this center of motion become disarranged or suddenly go to pieces, the whole machine comes to 8 stand still.
 A creaking, jarring wheel or piston tells the engineer that something is wrong; an aching head, sleepless nights, pain about the heart, palpitation and the like should tell you that something in your machinery is wrong and danger at hand. Whatever 1t is take 1t in hand early and restore your brain and nerves, and thus your whole system, to health and vigor by the use ot Scotch Oats Essence.

Sam.
 Jerry Hartnet was deserter from Uncle Sam's army. After living for three years in New London he concluded it was better to return to Uncle Sam and risk his fate as a deserter Accordingly he gave himself up to the Fort Trumbull authorities this week. During his life in New London he worked faithfully at the Brown cotton gin works and served in the fire department and in the c. N. G., being well liked by his associates. According to his own story, told to his friends, he deserted originally from the British army and came to this country, nat urally seeking the military service when pushed hard for employment. He enlisted twice, it is stated, and both times deserted after having served in various sections of the country, east and west. At one time he was under Major Eagan's command in Bos- ton, and having recognized the major here thought him the proper man to give himself up to, when he considered the time had ar- rived Probably he reached this deter imitation during 8 fit of despoadency caused by being out of employment.
