FOR CONGRESS.

Congressman Wilcox VIII Not De-
ciinc-Mayor Sargent I'm the Same
Boat-WiH Not Struggle for a Nom
inatiOn.
Congressman Wilcox has replied to a
letter sent him by G. Collsrd Adams, in
which Mr. Adams asks Mr.. Wilcox if it is
SO, as the New Haven Register says, that
he will not run for congress again if de-
sired to. Mr.. Wilcox replies that he has
had no interview with any reporter or
newspaper correspondent relating to his
being a candidate for denomination since
he wrote Mr.. Adams April 90, defining his
position. "My views" he adds, 'are now
and will remain the same as 1 stated to
you in that letter. Thanking you for your
kindness, am truly yours"
The substance of Mr.. Willcox's letter of
April %, to which he refers, was that he
would accept the nomination, but would
not hustle for it.
This is precisely the attitude of Mayor
Sargent of this city. He will, we learn,
not remain altogether passive on the sub
ject, and will accept nomination if his
constituents see fit to tender it, but he
will not struggle for it.

NOT TO USE ELEorRIo POWER.


Denial of the Report About the Con- |

futile.
That dispatch yesterday from Worcester,
Mass, about tie Consolidated roads using
electricity as motive power on its lines
between New York and Boston furnished
considerable reading matter in all parts Of
the country yesterday. Vice President
futile of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad said, when asked about
it yesterday:
"Bosh, it's nothing but romance, pure
and simple romance, without the slightest
grounds for truth. We are building four
tracks, it is true, and have been at work
on them for several years, as is we'll
known, but instead of equipping the mid
die tracks with electric power, we are con-
machines to supplant steam. This is an
age of progress and the flying machine has
been SO perfected of late that we have
, every reason to believe they could be oper-
ated safely between here and New York at
even a more rapid speed than the thirty
minute time accredited the electric cars.
, Of course we haven't decided yet just

road is fully equipped with the latest
aerial cars we contemplate extending ou1
> air line to Liverpool and possibly from
there to Singapore, China, but of course
this is at present matter of speculation
. and can only be decided upon as our plans
further mature"
The Worcester Gazette adheres to it,
a story, and insists that it is all right ani
q will be verified in due time. 1t also adds
r Our additional statement that the Balti
a more and Ohio railroad had contracted fo
o a plant to use electricity for it's train
i within the city limits of Baltimore has no

: The Springfield Republican credited tn
K story and commented as follows: "It is ex

q made in an hour. Such departure i

tween Lewis bridge on the Quinnipiao

cided to visit the place Saturday afternoon

It was voted to obtain layout of the
width and grade of Townsend avenue from
Lees corner to the turn south of the
Pequot house. The committee on roads
and bridges were directed to confer with
some engineer with reference to making
the layout and to report next Tuesday
evening, when the property owners would
be notified to attend.
The matter of widening Forbes avenue
between Woodward and Townsend ave-
nues was referred to the committee on
roads and bridges, to report at the
next meeting.
Mrs. Mcmahon of 10 Myrtle street ap-
peared before the board and requested
that q division fence be ordered between
her property and that Of Kate Southington
at 10 Myrtle street and Thomas Gallagher
at IA Myrtle street. This was referred to
the fence committee with power to act.
The Morris Cove electric road was given
permission to lay the track from Forbes
avenue to Townsend avenue, to Farren to
Meadow, to East Quinnipiac, to Grand
avenue, on the same general conditions as
