The Motion of a Buggy Wheel.

We have been asked to answer the question: .Does the top of buggy wheel in motion travel faster than the bottom?' It does not. The wheel, if perfect. is of uniform circumference, and in making its revolutions all parts necessarily move at the same rate of speed. Any apparent difference of speed may be accounted for by the friction that proceeds from contact with the earths surface, but as the contact is but momentary there is no difference in the rate at which the wheel travels. Any apparent retardation resulting from friction is probably neutralized by at mospheric resistance to the top. If there is any difference in speed between the parts, it is so inappreciable as to be practically indeterminate, and there seems to be no means for reaching con- clusion that would be absolute in regard to the degree of difference. What seems most certain is that, at given rate of speed, the revolutions are equal and all parts move uniformly.-ED DEMOCRAT.

She se- cured a decree of divorce from Lathrop about three years ago. She made the acquaintance of Moshier last April while living with the family of Olin P. Hart near the horse car stables on West Main street. She fiirted with the driver, be- came acquainted and had known him less than a week when her ruin was ac- complished. Moshier waited on her fol several months and promised to marry her Thanksgiving day. He failed to keep his promise and dlscon' tinued his attentions when he found she was in trouble. To a ques- ton by Attorney Root Miss Frost ad, mitted that she wss not good woman before meeting Moshier.

They Will Restore the Washington Express Very Soon.


 Express Very Soon.
 The directors of the Consolidated road have decided to re-establish the Wash ington express and have ordered new transfer steamer built. This train was very popular, especially with people in New Haven, Meriden, Bridgeport and Milford, because its running time was at very convenient evening hours.
 When the old transfer steamer Mary land was burned to the waters edge some time ago, the Washington express was transferred to the New England road and crossed the Hudson river at Fishkill. The old route will be re-es- tablished running from Boston to Hart ford over the New England road and thence over the Consolidated to New Rochelle and the Harlem river. The new steamer is to be named the Mary land, but it is to be larger, longer and faster boat than its predecessor. It will be thoroughly fire and collision proof will be built throughout of iron witl many bulkheads, and will be large enough for IT passenger cars. She vii be ready to go on the line about Augus 1.
 The Pennsylvania road people are anx iouS that a Washington through express be 1uli oy ot'y siS "Vii ao oy HiShl' Ae IL more than possible that such train vii be established.
 The directors have authorized a sur vey for the extension of the Berli1 branch from New Britain to Farming ton. This extension would form a direc connecting link between the North ampton division and the main line a Berlin. The extension of the New Canaan branch to Danbury is under con sideration.
