dit1on.
CHICAGO, Nov. IA. - Senators Fry of
Maine, Dawes of Massachusetts,, Platt of
Connecticut. and Turpis of Indiana, MEM
bers of the senate committee that has been
investigating the Union and Central Pacific
railroads, arrived here this morning. Sena-
tor Dawes said that as mere member of the
committee, he could not give any conclusions
of the body. His general conversation, how.
ever was to the effect that while the Central
Pacific runs over a desert of several hundred
miles and is in itself not great money
making institution, still it has some very
productive branches which depend on 1t for
their strength in part and those branches
should In Q measure help bear the burden,
although not compelled to under the original
agreement, which was made before they were
thought of.
Chairman Frye said this evening that the
trip had resulted in ono good thing at least.
SIT has removed several obstacles from the
part of our future work, and the commission
ia now convinced that the roads can pay
their debts to the government in full. They
cannot do it at once, and suppose nobody
cares whether this is done at once or NOT, but
they can do it eventually, and the committee
is satisfied on this point. Personally, do
not think it would be best that they paid it
at once. The people along the lines are the
ones who must eventually pay the debts, OF
COURSE 1t would not be to their interest to
push the payment"
Do you believe the management Of the
roads contemplate surrender of the roadsl
No, decidedly, and neither would anyone
who made trip ever the lines. Improve
ments, and expensive ones, too, are going
on everywhere. At Leavenworth the Union
Pacific Is putting up shops worth $500, 600
That does NOT look like surrender. Heavy
steel rails are being laid. Do you think they
would do that if they meant to give up thu
roads!

BEssEMER, Mich, Nov. 14.-Redmund
Holzhay-"Blaok Barton trial for the
murder of Banker Fleisohbein of Belleville,
ILL.,, and the robbery of the Gogebic stage,
took the stand in his own defense to-day and
made confession. Holzhay told the story
of his life, from the day of his birth in Ger
many to that of his arrest at Republic, Mich.
He admitted that he robbed the Milwaukee
and Northern train six months ago; that he
held up the Wisconsin Central train at Ca
dott, Wis, month later, and that he way
laid the Gogebio stage and shot Banker
Fleischbein.
Holzhay claimed that several years ago he
was hurt by fall from horse and since
that time had been subject to "spells," dur
ing which he did not know what he wac do
ing. He said he was under this spell when
the various crimes were committed.
Attorney Flannigan frustrated the prisoner
somewhat when he said: "Holzhay, why did
you carry two guns, knowing that you were
liable to have one of those spells at any time
and shoot somebody When you felt one of
these spells coming on why did you not leave
these guns somewhere until you recovereds''
Holiday hesitatisgly replied: 81 carried
the revolvers to protect myself from wild
animals in tho woods and did not like to
leave them anywhere as I might not find
them again."
"Is it necessary fer man to carry two re.
volyers to protect himself In the woods of

eyes, sir" said Holiday. 1T think 1t

Holzhay was removed from the stand and
shortly after returned to jail.

sickness at west Point.

NEwpURaH, N. Y, Nov. IA report
reached here tonight that half the corps of
cadets at West Point. upwards of $50, had re-
ported at the hospital i'll from poisoning. 1t
turns out that the illness occurred few
days ago; that 1t ia not poisoning, but
trouble of the bowels, and the attack was
general with all connected with the mess
hall, drivers, gardeners, walters, etc., faring
as badly as the cadets. Even those who had
not tasted food at the mess were as badly
afflicted as the others. The surgeon had his
hands full of business for a time, but all re-
covered. To day the superintendent, Cen
eral Wilson, appointed a commission consist
ing of Commandant Hawkins, the post sur
geon, and Major w. F. Spurgeon, who is in
charge of the men, to investigate the cause.

PARK AT "rHE CEDARs.n
A Rousing Meeting of Citizens Held
Last Night.

HOUSING Meeting or Ctt1ZenS9 40l0
Last Night.
The meeting in room 10 and II, city hall,
last night, must have sent thrills of joythrough
the hearts of those who started tho agitation
for park-at the Oedars. About one hun
dred people were crowded into the room,
every seat was taken, the reporter being
obliged to stand. Many stood outside the
doors. Alderman Foete presided.
The new park as proposed is at the Cedars,
and is bounded by Halloek avenue, LANDER
ton and Sea streets, and the harbor. It is
an excellent location for a park, and is oil
the more desirable because 1t can be pur-
chased cheaply, and because 1t willsbe sea-
side park.
John a. Leeds was the first one to speak.
He referred to the Instability Of the Cedars
as location for q park, and that it was q
+ natural site for one. The masses needed
smaller parks than East Rock park. At
times the city is affected by depression of
spirit. This site ia good one ON account Of
the sea breezes which are SO healthful to
mothers and children in summer. The CITY
should look out for matters pertaining to
public parks as well as to educational inter-
ests and public libraries.
Rev. Mr.. Cleveland, of the All Saints

for something to be done that would be for the
welfare Of the city. Tho city could make

when it had an opportunity to do SO, when
it could have been secured for much less
money. The speaker said that he had lived
in New Haven long enough to know that In
. order to get anything all your mind and
! strength were needed to push 1t Through.
United States Commissioner Wright made
few remarks on the new proposed park.
s. O. Fleetwood, auditor Of the Consoli'
dated read, was heartily In favor of the park

this property is not purchased now it will be
SO occupied when the city gets ready that no
bonds can buy it.
Someone espied Alderman Bushnell of the
First ward standing in the door, and he was
called upon. He said he slmost wished he
was member of the Fourth ward, for he
seldom saw 90 many unanimous on any one
thing. He had every reason to believe that
this park would be granted, as the city
auditor had told him only yesterday that the
city finances were never in better condition.
he spoke of New Havea's being tho most
beautiful city in the world, and concluded
by saying that no matter whether the Fourth
ward was Democratic or Republican, he
would do all he could to get this park sstab-
lished.
Ex-CeuReilman Fleischman said that the
rich man had his park at home, but that the
poor people, crowded together in the tene.
nents of the city, had to look out for them
selves. A park at the Cedars would be just
the thing for this class of people.
Ex-Alderman Sam Barnes made vigorous
speech for the park. If this ground was not
used for park, either the Standard Oil COM
pany or the Consolidated road would have it.
He hoped those present would stick together
and fight the matter through. You have at
the Cedars good, fresh air, Just what God
gave you.
George Bearn said that the principal point
in favor of the new park was its sanitary fea-
lures, a. many doctors ordered mothers to
take the little ones there to revive their
health. You have not foot on the water
front that Belongs to the city, and whenever
anyone goes along the shore be is trespassing.
It is only through the kindness of the owaers
of the land at the Cedars that the slaughter.
ing of infants has been lessened
Senator James N.States told of one instance
where child's life was saved by inhaling the
fresh air in this locality.
William A. Hine made some very sarcastic
remarks about the way the city had moved
in times past regarding improvements. "You
think you can buy this property for $65, 900,
but wait until you can buy it for 5000, 900.
We have saved lots of money in the past by
waiting. We can have anything we want,
they say. We got free text books, and now
we will probably have free chewing gum for
the teachers and taffy for the scholars.
Don't move hastily; let me warn you. We
never have been hasty, and by that method
we are hundreds of thousands of dollars
richer" Mr.. Hine referred to many things
where the city had not moved, and when 1t
got ready TO-, the prices had gone away up.
He said that after while the city would
furnish balloon to get up to East Rock
park.
The following resolution was passed.
Resolved. That in the opinion of this meeting Of
the citizens Of New Haven. it is desirable that
bounded by Lamberton street, Hallock avenue, Sea
street and New Haven harbor, being accessible
and best adapted to the purposes of park, is the
proper place to locate said public park.
