FOUR TRACKING IN FAIRFIELD-WESTwAR
 FROM REDFIEID'S QUARRY.


 The Consolidated road has commenced the four tracking on it's lines in Fairfield and vicinity. This work was begun Tues day in the vicinity of the Redfeld quarry in Fairfield. From this point two tracks have been laid on the north side of the old tracks, westward one and half miles ex- tending to the Moorehouse crossing in Fairfield. A large force of men are en- gagged and it is expected to push the work through as far as Mill river bridge inside of week.
 The disputed right of way through the Jennings property at Greens Farms and the Benjamin Bulkley property in South port, will necessitate delay in completing the four tracking at those points. At the southern end of the line the four tracking ing at the present date has reached as fal as Westport. It will not be long before the great problem to be carried out in this city is under way.
 The 100 feet addition to the 500 feet wall of the Consolidated road. in the real of Mrs. Francis Perry's residence in South | port, has been completed.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Given a Trial Trip-A New Engine The Lowering of the Tracks in New. haliviIIe-Work at the Repair shops.
 Engine No. 2,6oO, from the Rhode Isl and Locomotive works of Providence, R. T., made it's first trip yesterday morning, with a passenger train, on the Consoli- dated road.
 The trip was an experiment. It has been on trial on the Stonington road, and is reported success. It is now on trial on the Consolidated, and loft this city for Springfield at 1925 yesterday morning. Engineer Louis Fowler and Fireman Wellington were in charge. An engineer who represents the Rhode Island Locomo- tive works also rode in the cab. Conduc- tor Hart was in charge of the train. The engine weighs 1O5 tons. It's driving wheels are six feet eight inches high, and the To- comotive stands much higher than | the ordinary engine It's smoke stack is l but little higher than the cab, but the lat | ter high enough to come very close to the bridges along the line. The engine was built in 1890, and is compound engine; that is, it condenses it's steam and uses it over again. Railroad men are much inter ested in it's trial President Clark, Gen. eral Manager Futile, Ticket Agent States and several other Consolidated road off. cials were present when the engine started | on the trial trip.
 One Of the first new moves of import ance to be made by the Consolidated road in the way of improvements of it's proper | ty in this vicinity will be the lowering o1 the tracks of the New Haven and North ampton railroad in Newhallville and the bridging of the dangerous street crossings there. This will be work involving g large outlay, but it will be done in accord ance with the policy of the road to make all improvements necessary and reasona ble for the public safety along its lines ot road. Gatemen are now stationed at ths most dangerous of these crossings.
 The rush of work at the Consolidated railroed shops in this city, where man moth force is generally employed, is some what abating, owing to the approach O the season of summer travel, when thu heavy demands upon rolling stock of tn, road curtails the work of repairs and al terations to what is absolutely necessary During the past few months work has bee, rushing at the shop and engines and car have been put in fine condition for tn summers work, at the hands of the ma chinists, wood-workmen, painters and dec orators.

to his neishborhootl, and left. him dead.
A young and inexperienced lawyer pn-
dertook HE defense Of tine. German, and
just before the ease was to be tried he
found, to his dismay, that the jury was
composed of eleven comhatiye-losl.lng
countrymen Of the murdered man, the
twelfth being a German.
q defense fund" wasT7:s Immediately
raised, and the German was approached
with theipromise that if he maaased to
get the accused of with q Simple verdict
OF manslaughter it would be worth one
thousand dollars to him.
All he had TO do was to stick to that
one word 'manslanghter.''
The verdict came in ''manslanghter.D
and the joyful attorney for the defense
couldn't get the enc thousand dollara;1to
the Gerinen's hands too quick.
Shaking hands with him and placing
the money, he slapped him on the back
and said:
''You did nobly; You must have had an
awful time making them Irishmen agree
to simple manslanghter."
