New BRITAIN, March 11.-There is a
movement on foot IN this city to organ
ize stock company for the purpose of
running an electric railroad between
Bristol and this city. A Boston party
has been here for few days talking the
matter over with business men here
and in Bristol, but no definite action
has as yet been taken. The plan is
favorably received and there is posi-
bility that the project may be success
full. In case such railroad should be
laid New Britain merchants would re-
ceive much trade which now goes to
Hartford.

pHELAN VS. WALSH.
Arwuments ON the Demurrer Made
Before Judge Hall.


Arguments ON the Demurrer Made
Before Judge Hall.
New HAVEN, March 11.-Arguments
on the demurrer fled by Attorney Cole
of Hartford In the quo warTanto case OF
John j. Phelan vs. r. Jay Walsh were
begun before Judge Hall In the superior
court, at II o'clock this morning.
Attorney Cole opened by declaring
that quo warranto was not the proper
mode of procedure In the case as the de
PENDANT was not q usurper. he con-
tended that neither the superior nor su-
preme courts has Jurisdiction in the case,
as the plaintiff had not been declared
elected by the general assembly and had
not qualified; therefore, under the con.
stitution the defendant must still hold
the Office.
Judge Lynde Harrison for the plain
tiff said It was not necessary for his
client to have taken the oath to have
qualified. He claimed that the court
had jurisdiction in the premises; if not
anarchism would prevail.

COLONEL DoHERTY FOR CONGRESS.
His FFiens are Preparing a Boom But
the Colonel WIN Not spaak.

His Friens are Preparing a Boom But
the Colonel win Not Speak.
For some time it has been quietly
whispered that Colonel Doherty would
be in the race for congressional honors
the coming fall. It is said that several
influential republicans are actively en-
gagged in working up the coloneTs boom.
With view of finding out the condi-
ton of affairs a DEMOCRAT representa-
tive called on Colonel Doherty to-day.
He was asked If he was in the race, but
his reply was non-committal. When
asked If he would accept the nomina-
ton il it were offered him, he said he
was not prepared to answer. Whatever
his ideas are he kept them to himself,
bnt that does not hide the fact that q
boom for him will shortly be placed on
the market. If the colonel secures the
nomination the democrats will have to
work as they never did before to keep
the district in line.

saved. The explosion was terrific and
completely destroyed the machinery
