A BALKY SYSTEM.

The Omcers OF the Merfden Street
Railway Order the Removal OF the
DAFT System-A System That fs Safe
Because IL won,t Work-Much Dis
satfsfaction for Long Time.
MERIDEs, Oct. 4.-After two years of
patient endurance of the Daft system, the
officers of the Meriden street electric rail-
way have ordered the Daft company to re-
move their plant. The system has never
given anything like satisfaction, and about
all that it has afforded has been injury
and vexation. The Daft company had
given frequent promise to the effect that
improvements would be made, but the
road seemed to continually grow worse.
The only reason that the officers of the
road has endured the system so long is
that the Daft company had sunk considera-
BILE money in the affair, and they wished
to give them every opportunity to make
the road success, hut finally the officers
reached point where patience ceased to
be virtue. Says the Meriden Journal:
The whole overhead system OF the Dafts has
Il Il so S IN
electric system that won't work ought to be safe
snd s gSn Tas e S
mean business in ordering the plant out, and the
public viii hail with joy the exit of the biggest
farce for an electric road that was inflicted
upon community.
The Daft company have mOnkeyed with Meri-
dens street railroad for two years and now the
service is more unreliable than ever. The new
motors are good ones. but as a rule a cannot
run from one end of the line to the other without
being delayed half dozen times by broken
wires, trolleys on or something else.
The recent accident to Fred Fl. Brown, who
was badly burned and thrown out of his carriage
by q fallen wire on Main street. was the first ssfi-
Gus mishap. but it is simply case of luck that
there were not more.
Between the falling wires, burning cars and in
terminable delays the service got to be some
thing frighuul, and the only wonder Is that the
Dafts were not thrown out bag and baggage long
ago. 1t has come at last, and the people will
send up prayer of thanksgiving.
The ousting Of the Daft system does not mean
the abandonment of electricity for the street
cars. Far from it. The officers of the road and
the public know well that electricity Is the only
proper motive power for street cars with the
right system to utilize il, but there will not be
time to put one in before winter here, and conse-
quently horses will be used until spring at least

FOUND A HEADLEss BODY.

Thought to be Another Victim OF
Jack-the-Rfpper.
LONDON, Oct. 24.-The "Jack-the-Ripper'
scare has again caused sensation among
the police and residents of the South
Hampstead locality. Tonight in seclud-
ed part of that neighborhood passers-by
were shocked by finding in an obscure
alley the dead body of a woman whose
head had been very nearly severed, while
her body showed evidences of kicks and
bruises in themselves sufficient to cause
death. While up to the present time no
knowledge has been obtained as to who the
was woman of low repute, and this was
sufficient to start the cry Jack the Ripper
has been at work again" The police ac-
lively began operations in search for the
murderer, but thus far no arrests have been

A MIDNIGHT BLAZE,

smoke issuing from the second story win
dows of the brick building at 81 State
street, adjoining that occupied by the
printing establishment of Tuttle, Moore
house & Taylor, pulled the alarm at Box
90 and the fire department was soon upon
the scene.
The flames had started in a rear room OF
the second floor, in the apartments occu-
pied by the Novelty company, which had O
large stock of manufactured suspenders
on hand. A half partition gave the flames
vent to sweep the entire floor, and thus
prevented them from making their way
upward.
The firemen extinguished the blaze after
an hours work, but the entire stock of the
novelty company was ruined, either by wa.
ter or fire. 1t was but lightly insured,
| and the loss will probably reach $500. The
| building was not injured to agreat extent,
| the flames having been confined to the sec.
| ond floor.
The greatest damage was done by the
| floods of water which rushed down into
| the shoe store of James McLay s. Son on
| the first floor. The stock of this firm
was valued at 81 900 and was all more OF
less damaged. 1t is insured for small
amount.

pies quarters just across the hallway OF
the second floor from the Novelty com
pany, but this part of the building es
capped with no injury whatever TIL,
