ANTAGoNIsr1o CAPITALISTS.

Hartford and New Britain Men VIII
Fight for ar Electric Road Char
ter.
NEW BRITAIN, Dec. 14.-There promises
to be an interesting contest between the
capitalists of this city and Hartford who
are interested in the proposed electric rail
way between the two cities. Both parties
want the charter and are determined to
have it. Each will petition the Legislature
for a charter and will do everything in
their power to obtain It, Both have plenty
of money, and the successful party will
probably be compelled to put out large
sum, so great is the anxiety to obtain the
charter. Directors of the Meriden electric
railway have given notice that they will
apply for q charter to extend their road te
Berlin to meet the proposed Hartford and
New Britain system. The scheme meet
with favor here.

THE TEMPERANCE TIDAL WAVE.

Packed Audience at Calvary Baptist
Church - Murphy's Stirring and
Eloquent Address-Many Signatures
to the Pledge.
Another large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Mr.. T. E. Murphy last night at
Calvary Baptist church. The meeting last
night was one of the best, If not the best,
of the series, and the faithful and devoted
young apostle of temperance thrilled and
delighted the vast audience by his MATCH
less eloquence and intense earnestness in
the cause to which he has devoted his life
and labors. During his stay in this city
Mr.. Murphy has labored almost necessarily
day and night, and has astonished those
who have assisted him in his efforts by his
tireless energy and continuous work.
Some days he has spoken as many as five
4 times, and the wonder is that
he has not broken down under
the strain. And not only on the
platform but also on the street and in
houses he has visited and ministered to
the poor victims of strong drink: and
many poor and Impoverished families
have received material aid from him as
| well as words of comfort and encourage
ment. Last night Mr.. Murphy looked
worn and tired when he entered the
church, but after he had spoken few
words on the subject, near and dear to
him his eyes kindled with light and he
seemed to gain strength and vitality. His
address last evening will be long remember
ed, and his vivid and graphic description
of his journey to Johnstown in search OF
his brother, who he feared was LOST
in the food which visited that Ill
fated city a number of years ago, wal
masterpiece of eloquenee and powerful
portrayal which held his audience spell.
bound. When the invitation was giver
for signatures persons from every part Of
the church responded, and about Isl
signed the total abstinence pledge. Meet
ings will be continued in Calvary church
each night during the remainder of thu
week. Yesterday afternoon large audi
ence of ladies was present at City Mission
hall. Addresses were made by Mr.. Muir
ply, Rev. Mr.. Mossman and Mr.. Frank D
Ludington. Mr.. Murphy addressed tn
theological students last evening at ga
O'Clock, and created q very favorable i'm
preston among the young men there
Nearly all of them signed the pledge ant
put on the blue ribbon as an indication
that they were in hearty sympathy witt
the great movement, and desired everybod
| to know it.

ELECTRIC ROAD ON ORANGE ST.
A Petition Now Being Extensively
Observation-Disclosures Opposition
Developed.
If the syndicate which controls the West
Haven and Winchester avenue railroads
gets its way, it will have New Haven a
network of electric and horse railroads
It's latest move is petition for permission
to build an electric railroad out Orange
street. The petition is being extensively
circulated, and the pushers have secured .
very large number of signers.
Their plan is but the revival of an old
one, which had in view the betting of q
very large section of the city. 1t was once
intended then to make a cable line run out
Orange street to Gamer, and over Gamer
| to Winchester avenue. The Winchester
avenue part of the route has been made,
though not as was at first intended, and It
now remains for the rest of the route to
be completed. This petition seems like q
step In that direction.
The Organizers of the movement claim
that the whole northern end Of Orange
street would be greatly benefited by such
| line, and the sentiment OF the majority
of the residents of that section seems to be
| in favor of 1t. There will, however, be .
strong opposition to the work by the resi-
dents of this end of the street. who are
| near the. center of the city and who do not
| care to have railroad in the street. The
managers of the enterprise recognize this
| and are making every effort to secure az
many signers to the petition as they can.
| They urge that such railroad would be .
| great and needed improvement in the
means for reaching East Rock park. This
| is probably one Of the greatest points in
urging this road to outsiders.

Like giant among pigmies the Manufact-

loses nothing of its beauty by its size, as in
symmetrical proportions and design it
rivals any of the other great architectural
triumphs of the Worlds Columbian Ex-

over 30 acres and has in floor space. includ-
