when "a summer car well loaded with
people out 90 enjoy the fresh autumn

lazily along.
A young lady on the front seat looked

Tying and delight and mischief depicted
in his every movement and IN every line

His soriic was met by burst Of merri-

cation to Go On To-day-A Reward
of $500 offered by the Mayor.
The inquest in the case of Thomas Coch.
rane, who was murdered by the italian
Giacomo Russo on Sunday, was begun by
Coroner Mix yesterday morning. Deteo
tive Dennehy summoned eight witnesses
all of whom were present at the hearing
They were Francis Crowley, Henry ]. Coch
rane, Frank McDermott, Walter Davis, vii.
liam Coughlin, John Shaw, Daniel Flahivan
and James Sullivan.
The investigation was private and Coro.
ner Mix declined to give out what evidence
had been gathered. He said, however, that
nothing new had been gained from the
persons examined. None of the men in
the party who were heard yesterday had
seen the stabbing. The coroner admitted
that 1t was the result of fracas between
the two men.
Coroner nix will continue the investi-
cations to-day, and other witnesses Of the
AFFAIR are to be examined.
The police are vigilant and not yet dis.
couraged. Early yesterday morning the
police made q search through all the italian
houses In the quarter where the murder
was committed. Beyond revealing some
very foul, crowded tenements nothing re-
suited.
The murderer may be still in the city,
but 1t is very doubtful. Meanwhile every
Italian who acts in any but a very exem-
plary manner Is closely watched.
It an italian were to pick fight In that
section of the city, he would undoubtedly
be mobbed. Apropos Of this comes the
following communication
Msyor Sargent, for the city, has offered
q reward of $500 for the delivery to tho
police authorities of this city Of Giacomo
Rossi, the murderer Of Thomas Cochrans.

ELECTRIC CARS SOON.

Two Will BE Put in Service To.Mor-
row or Saturday Probably and 9th
ers Gradually Added-The Distance
to Savin Rock VIII He Travcrsed In
Half an Hour-The Power House
Practically Completed.
A director of the West Haven road said
yesterday in reference to the changing of
the horse car system to an electric one:
We hope to put two electric cars on
the road tomorrow or Saturday. Next
week we will add more and so gradually,
before anyone is aware of it, the entire
change will be made.
We were glad, after all, that we were
not able to start the electric cars on the
Fourth of July, when the rush of travel
was so heavy. Now, when matters are
moving along smoothly, we can make a
test of the electric apparatus and see If
there are any defects.
Our car house is to be greatly enlarged
and made suitable for the reception of the
new cars. Troughs will be made under
the cars, just as in a railroad roundhouse,
30 that workmen can get underneath them
and make any repairs that may be needed.
We have built our power house in a re-
markably short time. 1t was really q
very laborious job and one somewhat diff
| cult to manage.
We have the building now nearly com.
| pleted. So far as the use of machinery IL
| concerned the building is now ready.
The trip will be made in half hour, q
| quarter of an hour less time than 1t now
takes. This rate of speed can be bettered
if 1t is thought to be advisable later on, bu'
our schedules for the present will be or
the basis of half hour trips.
This matter of danger from the use of cleo
tricity on street cars is really but a bugbeal
/ If the statistics of the number of accident
caused by kicks from horses and othe
accidents caused by those brute animal
should be compared with that of the acct
dents on electric railways people would b
surprised to see how well the electric sys
tenn would compare. Horses soon get &C
customed to the cars. In other cities ne
trouble has been experienced in this re
| spect and doubt if we should have an,

l have quickly become accustomed to these

because they find there certain freedom |
from restraint. Whatever the mice boy"
may like, it is certain the stshop boy"
don't like the 'holy hush' of the average |
reading room, but prefers instead q place |
where he can roar out Comrades" crack
joke, knock Toms hat off, or have a
friendly scufle with Pat. This fact is
coming to be more generally recognized,
and in other cities, societies, yes,
and churches also, are open
ing rooms where young men can work off
their surplus vitality in physical contests
under proper influences. As rule young
mems clubs are not e1evating, but they
may be made greatly SO under judicious
management.
But there is still another class whose
condition should concern good people,
| namely, the girls from the cheap tenement
| houses. Think of their lives, shut up all
| day in the close factory or store, going at
| night to the crowded, sitting tenement
| where beer and brawling combine. What
wonder that they seek the street, the dance
hall and the Crock" with their life, light
and air. But the street, the hall and the
Crock" are full of evil, and come of US
know the many who yearly succumb
to their baleful influences, and are received
house the Jail or the grave in proportion
to their offence and its results. Yes, we
know that the working girls clubs, the
missions and the Y. w. G. A. are doing
something, but who that walks our streets
at night will deny that there is much more
to be done in the way of retaining the
"chippies" who, with loud talk and laugh
ter, stroll up and down Chapel street in
the early hours of the evening, and later
disappear (not alone) in the outskirts OF
the cneap hotels. There should be place
for these girls in the center of the city,
open every night, and there should be the
love and tact to draw them in and to show
them that ga pure life is beacon star tc
salvation"
But what hos this to do with charity or
ganization work? It has this to do with
| it, the evils which we seek to lessen OF
remove are, in the vast majority of in
} stances, due to combination Of inherited
tendencies with the "drink habit" ani
: the boys and girls who walk our street,
evenings are the persons whose future
seems most doubtful because of this com
bination existing in their ESQ., called) homes
Therefore, to furnish a substitute for tn
saloon, and to provide an environment
, that may counteract the inherited tend
ency, is preventive work properly within
} the province of charitable agency
Labor for the reclamation of adult
is discouraging; few reform, and lapse
: are frequent. Work among the younl
brings rich results. Their life is all be
fore them and if properly directed full o
magnificent possibilities for good. Pre-
ventive work seems to offer the surest lin
: of relief for the poor or the future. VIVA
