FACTS ABOUT THE NEW ENGLAND.
The Proposed Double Track Will Lessen
 the Operating Expenses.

The Proposed Double Track Will Lessen
 the Operating Expenses.
 The statement we SO often hear that the New York 6 New England road is losing money on its through freight, is decidedly of color. AS al matter of fact, the New England makes an even better showing in respect 10 lis through freight traffic than some of the other large roads of the country. For in- stance, the earnings of the Pennsylvania road are only six mills per ton per mile, while those of the New York & New England are over one cent per ton per mile. This through business cannot be considered unproftable from any point of view, and the increase of these pro- fits would be largely augmented by a complete double track system, not only because of the additional traffic possible, but by the positive reduction in operat- ing expenses. A locomotive consumes fuel while waiting on sidings, and in the extra time required in the single track system will consume much more than on an uninterrupted run. Gross earn ings are all that are necessary to put the road in line with other New England systems as to earning power. The same power with double track and no more business will earn $500,000 more than today. The equipment of the road is m good order, not more than twelve To- comotives being in the shop.
 The management of the New York & New England have decided upon several immediate improvements that will be hailed with great satisfaction by the patrons of the road. Among these will be the erection of new passenger sta tion III Boston, to take the place of the present one, which has for some time been inadequate to the needs of the rapidly increasing traffic. The new structure will not only be much larger than the present one, but will be more modern and afford greatly increased accommodation to the travelling public. It is probable that the offices of the company will be located in it. All the other stations along the line are to be painted and improved, inside and out, and the surrounding grounds beautified, as soon az the weather will permit. It Is also intended to at once have all the passenger cars sent through the repair shops and thoroughly renovated. Other Improvements are also contemplated.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Henry s. Gruber of New Haven, who has pitched for the Cleveland base ball nine for three years, was not reserved by that club last year for another year. He is as yet unsigned, but received an offer last week from the newly organized Western association at salary of $1 ,000. He says he will saw wood rather than play ball for that sum. It is rumored that the Washington team of the National league is after him.
 Manager w. w. Burnham, of last years New Haven nine, left yesterday morning for Albany to attend a meeting of the Eastern association. There is yet chance that New Haven will be repre- sented in the association. The matter will he definitely settled in a day or two.
 M. J. Kelly claims to have received an offer of $7, ,500 from the Pittsburg club, and there is q strong impression that if he has received such an offer he should lose no time in clinching a bargain, as such plum is not likely ever again to drop in his vicinity. Judging from what President Soden recently said to J. w. Spaulding, Kelly will stay in Bos- ton. MT Soden said he would not op- pose Kelly's release, but that Conant and Billings thought it best to hang on to Kelly.

Property of John H-rfoId Placed Un-

 Attorney c. H. Sawyer, of Meriden, representing Smith & Stills, wholesale grocers of New York city, has brought suit to recover on 5000 bond offered by John Hartford of this city as security that his son, John H. Hartford, from 1886 until January 1899 employed by Smith and Stills, would faithfully and honestly perform his duty. In his capa- city as clerk young Hartford handled considerable money. It January it was discovered that he had taken over $4, 100 and the concern still find losses. liar ford was arrested and lodged Tn jail at New York. His father, hearing of the sons trouble, placed S1 200 mortgage on his property here, valued at $4,500, and it is presumed wentTto New York and offered the 1000 kbail. that liberated Harford junior. The Waterbury prop erty was security for the $2, 900 bond of- fered to Smith & Stills. At the time the bond was given to this concern there was $500 mortgage on the property. Constable Kinne of Meriden came here Monday and had the writ served by Sheriff Futile. It is returhable before the superior court at New Haven the first Monday in March. The fact that the property had been tranrferred to Harford's daughter before the papers were served will lead to complications.

AMUSEM MENTS.
Baker Opera Company,

Another crowded house greeted Geo A. Bakers popular opera company last night. Said Pasha" was presented for the first time in Waterbury and was well received, all the old favorites in the cast being enthusiastically well comed. The piece has many catchy airs, and pretty duets, and one quar- tette was very taking. Although this opera may not prove as popular as some of the greater favorites, it will hold it's own with others and will improve on acquaintance. The horse play of the old favorites Wolff and Woolly was carried to rather greater lengths than many lovers of legitimate comic opera otherwise all did well.
 Piano Recital.
 William H. Sherwood, who is directc of the piano department of the Chicago Conservatory of music, will give a re. cital in the opera house next Monday evening.

Hypocrisy.

EDITORS HERALD: There is now be-
ing hawked about the city circulars
purporting to be issued by the Gospel
Temperance union and the Citize MS
Law and Order league, each signed by
the same persona, advocating in the
name of morality and religion the eec-
ton of MIR. Tufts for mayor. No one
appears TO know the said persons, or TO
have seen the evidence of their author
ity to act for said ORGANIZATIONS end tell
them how to vote. Now if any one de-
sres to vote for Mr. TUFTS as a Republi
can or as a man, personally, know OF
no reason for his not doing SO, nor do
see any objection to any pH!son advo-
eating his election as a Republican or
as man, but when IL is
sought to enlist the Christian re-
ligion in q crusade under the leader
ship OF a dealer in playing cards and
gambling paraphernalia and patron of
election OF Mr.. Tufts will hardly cause
the removal OF perious Sabbath temp
tations" SO l0ng ae the Tusts-Lyons
baseball team continue their Sabbath
desecration. So far as the defenses al
ready secured are concerned, Mr.. Rowan
has pledged his word that the existing
laws shall be maintained and enforced,
and no one that knows him doubts for
moment but that his pledge will be kept.
To advocate the election OF Mr.. Tufts
in the name of Christianity or religion
is rank hypocrisy, and, if allowed to 60
unrebuked, will bring reproach upon the
church. FOURTH WARDER.
