In Colorado Leaks Out.

New York, Nov. 27.-It is stated that
the directors OF the Denver & Rio Gra1de
railroad held q meeting here yesterday at
which most important decision was
made affecting trans-continental traffic.
1t was voted it is said, to make q stand
ard guage of their road from Canon City
to Grand Junction, to which point the Rio
| Grande Western is about completed to a
connection with the d. & r. q. system.
This movement will give the Missouri,
Pacific and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
roads direct route over less grades and
shorter distance than any other route to
San Francisco. 1t will take through
trains of the c., B. & @. via Canon City to
Grand Junction, and make the same time
as the Union Pacific, connecting them
with the Rio Grande Western.
In early spring the short line OF the D.
& r. &. will be completed from Denver
via Lidderdale to Buena Vista. This ar
rangement will take both c., B. & Q. and
Missouri Pacific trains to a connection
with the Central Pacific at Ogden within
six months.
The amount that must be expended to
complete the arrangements is from &c.
100000 to $8,000,000, and was voted at
this meeting. D. Fl. Moffat, president of
the D. & r. e. road, is at the Fifth Avenue,
where a reporter called on him last
night. He expressed surprise that any
such information had been given out, but |
would not deny its correctness.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-In reply to |
request for information relative to the
cultivation of oranges, lemons, figs and |
olives by the California board OF horticul-
ture conveyed through the state depart
ment, A. Willard, United States consul
to Guaymas, Mexico, has forwarded a
report upon the subject. He says the
growing of oranges as an article OF export
in Sonora dates back seven years, al |
though seeds and cuttings were first
brought to that country from Italy by
Jesuits ninety years ago. Oranges were
imported by rail from the United States
in 1883 and exported thence in 1888, the
first shipment being $4,000 boxes of 100
each. Oranges are grown with the best
results at an elevation of from 600
to 800 feet above sea level and
distance from the coast. The groves are
irrigated, and there are no insect pests.
Lemons, figs and olives are cultivated for
home consumption only. The consul
says full information on the subject is
lifficult to obtain.

The members of the Rickard family
are very much put out at the efforts of

of the suicide and attempted murder,
and at the comments OF the papers
upon their effort TO keep the matter

Surprising Ignorance of Children in
 Now London County.

Now London County.
 The annual report of the state board of education shows q startling condition of affairs in New London county. In nineteen towns of the county two-fifths of all the older children attending school are unable to write. This statement is based on an inspection of the writing and attempts of over 2,000 scholars. In | two schools, out of thirty-iive pupils | twenty five could not write enough to
 make an attempt at the examination. Some who could not write were over
 twelve years old and had been in school
 for six or seven years. In spelling,
 arithmetic, composition and.geography | the showing was equally bad. One
 teacher, in the presence of the agent of
 the board, asked a pupil what the equa-
 tor was bounded by. The examiner sul-
 posed that this must be a slip of the ton que, but inquiry revealed the fact that | the teachers tirmly-held view was that
 the equator was bounded on the north | by the Tropic of Cancer and on tine south by the Tropic of Capricorn.
 The report says that to insure improve | ment. regular attendance of children is
 eneessary. and that the law should for
 bid employment of children under six l teen during sessions of school until they
 have certificate that they can read,
 write and cipher. The community can
 better afford to give town aid to the fam
 lilies than it can to have it's children
 grow up illiterate and untrained. In
 one school district in this state there is
 only a single child enumerated. In three
 school districts only two. There are
 19S schools in which the average atten-
 dance is eight or less By altering the 1 location and lessening the number of | SchOOlhOuSeS much waste of money
 would be prevented. and the chance of
 getting good schools greatly increased.
 School sessions must be enlarged. In
 New London county tiftytive schools
 are open less than six months, and 139 are open thirty weeks or less.

Only Forty Members of the House
 on Hand To-day. HARTFORD, April 12-There was no session of the senate to-day. About forty members took their seats in the house at the regular hour this morning and before adjourning passed half q dog en bills and resolutions of minor impor- tance. Most of the members were away enjoying the free ride of inspection on the Housatonic road at the invitation of Colonel Stevenson
 The bill incorporating the city of Dan- bury, reported favorably upon by the committee on cities and boroughs. was passed.
 The bill relating to guardians was also passed. Itprovides that when minor
 having a father, or if the father be dead
 mother, is entitled to estates not de-
 rived from such parent, the court of pro-
 bat may notify such parents to ::appear
 and show cause why a guardian should
 not be appointed, and if sufficient cause shall not be shown may appoint such parent, if a proper person. Where a female infant having guardian and owning property shall marry minor, the guardianship of such female as to such property shall continue until the husband shall arrive at the age of twenty-one years.
 1eSlefuoN alteT a IOnS ueptte tIe house passed the bill dividing the town ] of Derby, making the district ''Ansonia" a new town. Before the aye and nay vote had been declared Mir Wolfe of New Haven changed his vote for the purpose of having the privilege of moving re-
 consideration this morning. After cal endar bushes had been disposed of to- day which took about 30 minutes, MT Wolfe moved a reconsideration. Some
 one doubted a quorum present and the speaker when appealed to so declared. The rules of the house then compelled him to declare it adjourned, which he did. Mir Wolfe's intention was not to adjourn the house but he fell into the
 mistake and an adjournment had to be taken.
 Swift's lawyers say that they will ap- peal the case to the supreme court. | The appeal will be taken on the technical point that l the governor had no right to veto | the resolution after. remaining in his | hands over ten days and they claim that I the ten days was up at 12 o'clock Thurs day night. The veto wasn't sent to the senate until Friday forenoon. The committee on education visited Willimantic and Norwich day to make 1 a thorough examination of the proposed Normal school matter.

TROUBLE AT STATE PRISON.
An Investigation of fCharges Agains Warden Chamberlain Demanded.

An investigation of Charges Against
 Warden Chamberlain Demanded.
 The Hartford Telegram makes serious charges against Warden Chamberlain of the state prison which arc being investi- gated by members of the beard of chGic- ties. Says the Telegram:
 The members of the board spent about two hours in the womens department of the prison Thursday in conference with the matron. What they learned was sufficient to show the necessity of an in vestigatiOn, and one will be made.
 It appears that last summer the war den of the prison, General Chamberlain, insulted the matron in a way that need not be described. She was justly in- dignant and told tine facts to superior court judge living ill this city. She also made complaints 10 Prof Wayland at New Haven. She waited for some ac- ton to be taken, but waited in vain. At last the affair has become public, and nothing. but the most searching lnvestl- gation will satisfy the demands of jus tlce.
 Fresh attention Is now drawn to the terribly careless management of the state prison during the administration of General Chamberlain. There have been numerous escapes of prisoners, and It Is merely luck that has prevented many more escapes.
 It is notorious that men serving long sentence, and even murdererS in prison for life. have been allowed the greatest liberty and have walked the streets of Wetherstield as free as if they had never been sentenced. Abbott. the Water bury murderer is an instance of this disregard of law and proper order. He is supposed to be kept ill close coniine- meIt, but the fact is that he rOams all over Wetherstield and is allowed to take boat and cross the river to dig flag root and such things in the meadows. He has been seen as far away as Board mans gr ve, near the city limits It is q common report in Wethersfield that Abbott has spent much time at houses ir the neighborhood and has been taken back to the prison drunk.
 These things do not argue well for the discipline of the prison and it is General | Chamberlain and not his officers who arc 1 responsible. He determines what shal be done, and his officers can only carry out his orders.
 Chamberlain was appointed for foul years and his term ran out one year age last March. Why he has been retained without reappointmert the directors dc not explain.
 1 It is high time that the directors anC also the governor look into the matter | and act upon the facts as they find them
