CROSSINGS AT GRADE
Made the Special Order of To-Day
 in the Legislature.

Tn the Legislature.
 HARTFORD, May 9.-The principal business in the house this morning was the discussion on the substitute for senate bills Nos 50 and 57 and house bills Nos no. l54, 155, 157 and 159 which were the special order of the day commenc- ing at II o'clock. Every representative was in his seat. The act in substance is as follows:
 The selectmen of any town, the mayor and common council of any city, within which highway crosses or is crossed by a railroad, may bring their petition in writing to the railroad commissioners, therein alleging that public safety requires an alteration in such crossing, its approaches, the meth od of crossing, the location of the high way or railroad or removal of obstruc- tions to the sight at such crossing. The commissioners shall give hearing to the parties interested and then determine what alterations and removals shall be made and who shall make them. Where the track of railroad crosses at grade a public highway which was i'll existence when the railroad which crosses it was constructed, and where any public high way shall have been con structed at a grade across any railroad crossing, the en- tire expense shall be paid by the com pany operating said railroad, which ex- pense shall include suitable award to the owners of the land adjoining said crossing for any damage which may be occasloned by the changes ordered. But whenever a public highway has been laid out since the construction of any railroad so as to cross it at grades. unless such highway was laid out at the request of such railroad company, the expense of the abolition of such grade crossing shall be paid 60 per cent by the railroad company, 20 per cent by the state and 20 per cent by the town or municipality wherein such crossing is abolished.
 Mir Brown. house chairman of the rail- road committee, said that when one highway crossed another the travel was equal, but when a railroad crosses a highway it brings into existence at once a danger to the highway and itself. And because it brought into existence this danger he thought the railroad should eliminate it. A yea and nay vote was proposed by MT Brown, but not a sufficient number of members arose to demand it. The members were not dis posed to go on record as voting on this important measure.
 Mir ONeill offered an amendment striking out all ''per cents" except that paid by the railroad company which was made 100 per cent.
 MT Hammer of Branford, said that in all cases the railroad company's ought to pay for the elimination of all grade crossings. He made an eloquent plea in favor of the towns and was loudly ap- plauded when he sat down. After con siderable discussion the house adjourned without taking vote upon the matter.

THE BATTALION BAZAAR.
New Attractions at the Union Al
 mory this Evening.

New Attractions at the Union Ar
 mory this Evening.
 A good sized audience attended the second evening of the battalion bazaar and were highly pleased with the varied and interesting programme. All the improvements that were not completed the first night had been thoroughly looked after and everything was run ming smoothly. The DEMOCRAT booth and the American had received many new touches and showed the work of an artist. These two booths attract ed the most attention and received a generous patronage. The programme opened with the presentation of the comic farce "A Close Shave" All the characters were we'll taken and the aud fence were kept in good humor by the funny acting. J. Whiteman as Feb, the colored helper. was excell- ent. Ed Hart in the dual characters of Tousor and Simper filled those two difficult positions with satis- faction and was probably one of the best characters on the stage T. Bolger made an ideal Crusty and was right with his character every time. The other char acters were all well taken and the aud fence was admirably entertained. ''The Tug of War" was the second feature of the entertainment and a mighty contest it was. Co G team presented the same men as the first night while Co A had strengthened the team by the substitu- tion of several new men. It was no advantage to them however as Co G won two out of three pulls. The first was won by G in thirty seconds and the second by A in the same time. The third was an exciting pull, ', but G gained the advantage by dropping to the floor first and drawing the A team about two feet over the marks and hold ing the boys there until time was called. On either side of the competing teams stood the friends of both teams cheering their men to victory. Go Cts yell was the loudest though and the boys recog- nized that victorious shout and gained the victory. The third part of the pro- gramme was the concert by the Banjo club and the reputation of the club was fully sustained. Several selections were played and the players responded to hearty encore. Dancing concluded the evenings entertainment pleasant party disbanded. Tonight the programme will be varied, and good one. The young ladies of Evangeline circle will open the performance with the sword drill under command of their instructor M. J. Colloty. This fea- ture alone will be worth the visit of every person. The farce II Am Not Myself at All' will be presented with the following cast: Pootles, affected with gout, c, Maloney; Capt Debit, Jos Costello; Major O'Hogan, alias Plelam O'Rourke, Ed L. Maloney; Laura, Pootle's daughter, Miss M. Doolan Mary a servant, Miss l.. Kier- nan. The tug of war will again be an important factor of the programme. Corporal James Fitzpatrick will give an exhibition of fancy club swinging Dancing the same as usual.

 Into His Brothers Trunk.
 John J. Bowling, aged 26, of the Burnt hill district, was arrested by Officer Brickel, while attempting to board the 10:54 train at the Naugatuck station this morning, for theft and in- toxication.
