the charge of drunkenness. His ex-

from Brooklyn in a wagon, and this

charges, drunk and breach of the peace.

support, was, by the request of Mr.

railroad, viz, Waterbury, Naugatuck,
Beacon Falls, Seymour, Derby, Ansonia
and Birmingham, and other citizens

public necessity and convenience re-
quires that a passenger train be run on
Sunday mornings at a reasonably early
hour during the SO called summer
months and return in a reasonable hour
in the afternoon during said period
from Waterbury to Bridgeport and re-
turn. That such trains would be a
great accommodation to a large number
of people in the towns named and else
where; that the same would be largely
patronized. Your petitioners therefore
respectfully ask that the president,
general superintendent and manage.
ment aforesaid will give this petition
due consideration, make inquiry there
unto and grant their request as in duty
bound your petitioners will ever pray.
Dated March 1, 1899.

obtained and copies of the petition are

The past year, like its predecessor,
has been one of steady growth, I'M
checked progress and well grounded
success, because we have maintained
our record for fair dealing, perfect up
rightness, and have always done what
is expected of merchants of strict re-
liability and progressive methods,
When we come to consider in what
manner we should signalize this event,
the precedent of last year commended
itself to us as the most practical. We
shall therefore celebrate the event

flee that will be appreciated.
