GRADE CROSSING LEGISLATION.

Two Estimates of the Cost Of Remov-
 ing the Crossings.
 The railroad commissioners are, it is supposed, preparing what the senate asked them for the other day-their es- innate of the cost of removing all the grade crossings in the state. The report will be ready, it is probable, by next Tuesday. The estimate made by the railroad commissioners in 1885 that it would cost S6, ,220, ,000 to abolish grade crossings is. now admitted to be an error, due to their enormous estimate of aver age cost. It was then 5000 per cros- sing. This figure is now enlarged to say S35, ,0O0, as they have had considerable more experience with this work since 1885. In round numbers there are 1 POO crossings. It would cost S42.00O.000 to remove them on the supposed average of expense. The Consolidated road would be mulcted in from twelve to S15. .000, ,000 or more. Gould any road stand this?' is a question often asked. On the other hand it is feared that the real effort is to prevent any legislation on grade crossings this session. If suc- cessful this would leave the law as it is. This course has some friends. The ad- vocates of the pending bill say that all the crossings need not be removed in any one year-indeed cannot be; that there are some costly ones which could be avoided by slight and inexpensive change of railroad layout and that there are some that cannot be removed, but can best be provided for otherwise.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The World Ago,,s+,y


 The Peoples theatre was crowded to the the lobby, and the new play, entitled me World Against Her." held the vast audience by virtue of it's domestic in terest, its crowded incidents. it's DOT trayal of woman's love and it's strong contrast of virtue and vice. It tells the story of a wife suspected hy her bms- band of inconstancy, owing to the in genulty of william, and abandoned to face the cruelty and scorn of the world. Her struggles to save her child and her misadventures in London, alone and helpless, are graphically told Through out it all she remains pure and loyal. and when ultimately her husband is con vinced of her innocence, the audience evinced how strongly she had won their sympathies by breaking out in tumul- tous congratulations. Miss Kate Clax- ton played the part of the wife with na- tural tenderness and womanly grace, and from the moment of her separation from her husband to the end of the play easily carried her audience with her.

DOG FIGHTERS IN COURT.
Officers Byrnes and Ahearn Raid q
 Sporting Resort.

OuccTS byrncS ana AncArn INsilu n
 Sporting Resort.
 Monday night the police received word that preparations were being made for a dog fight to take place about midnight on the Abrigador. Officers Byrnes and Ahearn were detailed to make an in vestigation. Shortly before 1 o'clock while passing house on Brennan alley they heard the yelping of excited dogs and unceremoniously entered the build- ing. The sounds came from a room on the upper floor and before the crowd of interested spectators were aware that anyone was in the building besides them selves the officers rushed in. Almost i'm mediately the lights were extinguished and in the scramble that followed the men escaped, two of them jumping from the window upon pile of stones fifteen feet below. The officers identified some of the men and last night all were ar rested. In court this morning they gave their names as Daniel Coughlin, Patrick Collins, Patrick J. Kelly, William Phe- Ian and James Murphy. Coughlin said he was going home when he heard the dogs squealing and went into the house. He had been there only few minutes when the officers arrived. Kelly said he was in bed when he heard the noise and went out to investigate. lie was only partly dressed and wore only one shoe. The others had nothing to say. Judge Bradstreet imposed a fine of $7 and costs in each case. All took an appeal.
 Last night when the officers went to arrest Coughlian.and Collins, both of whom are minors, they found them in Patrick J. Kelly's saloon on Pleasant street. He was prosecuted by Agent Colley this morning for allowing minors to loiter and fined SEQ and costs. He took an appeal.

Death nt q May Festival.

NEW HAVEN. May IS.-South Giaston- bury has been having a May festival in the interest of St. Lukc's Episcopal church and crowds from tha town and the neighboring village have pnssed in and out of Academy Hall. eaten ice cream, seen tho sights and gone away happy. Thursday night thore was the largest at- tendance since the fair began, and the way tho quarts of cream, particularly the vanilla, disappeared, was both sur prising and pleasing :to the managers. After returning from the hall to their homes over 100 persons who had eaten ice cream at the festival were taken ill., There were calls for doctors from all parts of the town. and the four physicians- Bunce, Rising, Kingsbury and Griswold-- were kept busy ever since caring for the suffering people.
 that attend poisoning, the sufferers being first attacked with vomiting, then by gripping pains in the stomach and con- Vulstens. In many instances whole fami- lies were taken sick, while tn others only a few members suffered from tho strange disorder. In this way the cause of the trouble was traced to the vanilla ice cream sold at the festival.
 The physicians express but ight hopes
 
 tins, who partook of large quantities of tho vanilla cream. They are ignorant of any known remedy for the disorder, and all they can do is to administer drugs that will make the patient more comfort able.
 Of the many victims those most a&- fected are;
 Miss Cora Bates.
 Clifford Chapman.
 P. B. Cannon, and family of eight persons.
 J. Howard Hale. and family of four persons.
 Mrs. Harry Miller. and family of three persons
 Miss Eva Mclean.
 Mrs. Clara Otis.
 Miss Minnie Phillips
 George Pratt. and family of five persons.
 H. M. Rising. and family of four persons.
 In these cases no hopes of recovery are entertained.
 MT. and Mrs. F. A. Glazier were enter taining Mrs. B. F, Williams and Mr. and Mrs. William s. Williams, of North Glas- tonbury. during the evening. Amessen- ger was sent to the festival for vanilla ice cream. MT. and Mrs. Glazier and their visitors ate plenty of the cream and a few hours afterward were taken sick. The servants in the house were given portion of the cream and they are also i'll. Mrs. Glazier and the two Mrs. Williams are seriously i'll.
 Dr. Henry Bunce, the town coroner, has obta!ned sample of the vanilla cream and will anallze it to determine the cause of the poisoning. The cream was made by John Tyler, who says that with the exception of the flavoring ex- tract, similar ingredients were used in the manufacture of the other creams. No one who partook of any other flavor except vanilla at the festival suffers, and Coroner Bruce Is of the opinion that the In tho has obtained some of it and will also analyze It. All business has been sus- pended in the town on account of the affair.

 the Waterbury Fight.
 Says the Danbury Press The butchers held their regular meeting last night and appointed committee to call upon P. O.

Our clothing is as reliable in quality, style and finish as any in the market notwlthstandingsome of our worthy com petltors would have you believe other wise.

Letters came struggling by chance ships
from China, Valparaiso, Callao and the
Sandwich Islands. The Adjutant-General
of the army, afterw rds from Washington
sent across land, by Kit Carson, F. \. Au-
brey and Roubideaux, few official letters
once year, by way of Fort Leayenworth,
Santa Fe, Los Angeles, etc., starting usu-
ally in September of each year, and reach
ing our headquarters at Monterey in May Of
the following year. This was the surest and
most expeditions way vein California could
receive letters from our Eastern friends in
1847, 1913 and part of 1S49. As soon as
General S. w. Kearney nad established
his headquarters at Monterey March,
1S47), he ordered the Gu artermaster, Cap
tain Folsom, at Yerba Buena (now San
Francisco, to establish q semi-monthly
mail from San Francisco to San
Diego, a distance of five hundred
miles. Captain FOLSOM divided the
route into four partisan Francisco to
Monterey, Monterey to Dana's (Nepoma),
Dana's TO Los Angeles, and Los Angeles
to San Diego. This was the first regular
mail route ever established on the Pacific
Coast. General Kearney, in May, 1884,,
returned to what we then called the
United States, leaving Colonel r. B.
Mason, First Dragons. in his place and
me as his Adjutant- General. All reports,
messages, etc., came to me, and | had a
small adobe house, with negro boy,
JIM" who was supposed to take care of
me. The mail-rider from Monterey was
an old trapper, Jim Beckworth, a counter
part of Jim Bridger, except that Beck
worth was a cross between voydgeur of
Canada and Crow Indian, and was, in my
one of the best chroniclers of
events on the plains that l have ever en-
though his reputation for We
racity was not good.-Generai W. z. Sher-
