RAILROAD AFFAIRS.
The New England Management Needing
 Out Bums

The New England Management Needing
 Out Bums.
 The new management of the New York 6 New England road is rapidly wedding out the "scabs'' and ''bum railroad men" who have crept into the service. For the information of those uninitiated, it may be said that "bum railroad men" is the railroad phrase to designate tramps-those worthless fel- lows who can get no steady employ ment, but drift from place to place.
 Probably the quickest run made the past two years by freight train on the New England road from Hopewell junction to Hartford, was made Sunday. The distance, about 115 miles, was covered in little less than eight hours, This is very good running on single track road. The side tracks of the road are now comparatively free from freight.
 It is understood that Consulting Engi- neer Jacobs of the New York G New England road has secured the refusal from the Baldwin locomotive works, of two compound engines costing $11 1000 and weighing 130,970 pounds each. The l3O, 900 mogul engine built by the New York & New England people under the Shlnn management, was sold under the direction of the late management to the Housatonic railroad for $7,OOO, $3,OOO less than it cost.
 The late Vice President Reed of the Consolidated road, had hobby for fine watches, and owned two excellent ones of foreign construction. One of these was made Tn Sweden, and several years ago he sent it to the maker for adjust ment and it was several months before it was returned. Both watches were always kept running during MT Reeds ownership.
 The question of Vice President Reeds successor is exciting considerable in terest in New Haven. General Manager Futile and the Hon Nathaniel Wheeler of Bridgeport, are mentioned.

A MURDER NEAR sToNINeroN.
Daniel CheseborO Shot and Instantly
 Killed.

Daniel ChesebOrO Shot and Instantly
 Killed.
 STONINGTON, Feb 16.-Daniel Chese- boro was shot and instantly killed by George Rathbourne, at a place within three miles north of this village, last night, while the former was trying to quell fight in progress between Rath- bourne and hIs wife. Rathbourne was made insanely jealous upon finding Cheseboro and another neighbor visiting hls wife.
 After committing the murder Rath- bourne threw down his gun and rushing for his wife attempted to choke her. She managed to escape from his clutches and rushing out of the door ran over to ChesebOro's house and informed them of the shooting. Officers were notified and Constable Gilmore pro- l ceeded to the Rathbourne house and placed the murderer under arrest. He made no attempt to escape and went quietly with the officer. He was placed in the Stonington lookup.
 Rathbourne was interviewed in iail by Connecticut Press representative, and told the following story: He said he had warned Cheseboro to keep away from his house time and time again. Last night when he entered the house and saw him there he said he thought that he would get his shot gun and scare him so that he would not want to come there again. He then said that the killing was accidental and while he had the gun pointed at the murdered man it went off before he knew it. The murdered man was a son of Gideon Cheseboro, one of the most prominent men in this section Cf the | state and a man of considerable wealth, He was about 26 years of age, well liked and with very large circle of friends. He was unmarried.
 Rathbourne, the murderer, is about 30 years of age, who is employed as a farm laborer about the vicinity of his home. He is not over bright and is of very jealous disposition. His wife says that he has been jealous of her ever since their marriage and in fact before that time. She persists in saying that there was nothing wrong in the visits of Cheseboro to the house, as he was the near est neighbor and would often drop in for few minutes during an evening.
 Mrs Rathbourne tells the story of the shooting in an entirely different manner from her husband, and says that on entering the room he swore a large number of oaths and then deliberately fired at the form of Cheseboro as he at tempted te leave the room.
 Rathbourne was brought before a jus tice of the peace this morning and bound over to the superior court, probable cause being found, and was then taken to the New London county jail to await trial.

POLITICAL MATTERS

Salaries of Legislators Cannot be Pald
 Until After Final Adjournment. = "A statement has been published in the state papers that the members of. the legislature need not worry about their salaries, because Treasurer Henry had the money in his possession .'and is willing to pay the representatives when ever they ask for It." This has given the impression that members can draw their salaries at this time. This is in correct. The statutes, section 42O, pro- vide that salaries of members of the general assembly cannot be paid until after final adjournment.
 The senate committee on constitution al amendments contemplate sending out notices to prominent representative lawyers, irrespective of party, to meet the committee and present their views regarding revision of the state consti tutIon. The committee thus hope tc gather valuable fund of material tc embody in this.report to be made to the senate next May.
