ELECTRIC ROADS MUST COME.

James ID. Dewell Enth siastlc for the
Trolley System-He Made Careful
Study of Them While In Mtnneapo-
lis-Streets Are Cleaner-HOfsesS Soon
Get Used to Them.
Our townsman Mr.. James D. Dewell,
president of the state board of trade, while
attending the Minneapolis convention gave
especial attention to the electric street rail-
ways. To COURIER reporter he said In
reference to them: The trolley system Ia
used almost altogether there and with ad-
mirable results, as far as can judge. One
can 90 to Lake Harriet, Minneha Falls and
to the large lumber yards in the suburbs,
each distance of Ave miles away from
the center of the city, for five cents for all
of the places. It is eleven miles to st.
Paul, which distance can be traversed for
ten cents. During the six days was In
Minneapolis travelled more than hun
dred miles and the expense was not much
more than 81. I enjoyed the trip, too,
much better than In carriage.
This system is great boon to the labor
ing people. Women with their children
get on the car and take ride into the
| suburbs-the cost only nominal-for the
| ride and refreshment. In the outskirts
the cars will run at the rate of twenty
miles an hour, in the heart of the city
they traverse about five miles in an hour.
There is, of course, this criticism OF
them, that the poles frighten horses be-
fore the horses get used to them. Still in
my stay in Minneapolis-and took
special pains to notice. saw but two
horses even shy at them and these were
evidently from the country. There was
nothing serious, though, in the least.
| The streets are much cleaner IN conse
quence of the trolley system. They are
free from the litter of the horses and lesi
dust is put in motion by the cars. The ap
pearance of the street is not to any seriou'
degree harmed by the poles. The few
wires running overhead look much bette
than the telegraph poles and wires OF
Grown street which can see from my of
J fee window on State street. If the peopl
of New Haven do not find serious offens'
, with the telegraph wires running over
} head they certainly will not of the pole
, and wires used in the troll
, ley system. The electric road
have got to come to New Haven. Within
: two years I believe electricity will be usel
on every street railway in this city. l
would mean cheapness and convenience t
the people here, and many of the poo
people of this city would find recreation
and refreshment at a cost within the mean

The Fire at Mrs. Mitchell's Residence
Yesterday.

The Fire at Mrs. Mttche1l's Residence
Yesterday.
Smoke was discovered yesterday noon
issuing from the attic windows of the
residence of Mrs. Charles L. Mitchell on
Trumbull street by passing letter carrier,
who Immediately alarmed the servants.
Professor A. M. LOOMS, who was standing
on his stoop on Temple street, discovered
the fire at the same time and rang the alarm
from box 81. The department responded
promptly. Smoke was pouring out the
front windows and from the west side. I.
was in the latter place that the smoke was
the densest. Two lines of hose were imme-
diately put to work, one up into the house
and the other through the windows from
the outside. Chief Kennedy found it
necessary to tear hole in the roof over
the dormer window of the west
side in order to put the fire out.
As soon as this was done the flames were
speedily gotten under control. Although
no more water was used than neces-
sary yet the whole house was pretty
well drenched and the costly furnishings
of the house were in danger of being de-
stroyed. A large number of students and
neighbors, among whom were Professor
Loomis, Professor A. T. Hadley and n.
Grant Thompson, Immediately started to
remove what property they could to places
of safety in adjoining houses. The work
in the hurry and excitement could not be
systematically carried on, but most of the
valuable paintings, picturs, sofas and
chairs, together with numerous pieces of
bric-a-brac, were removed to places of
safety. A collection of etchings valued at
SO, 600 was taken away without the Sigh
est damage. Mrs. Mitchell and her son
Edward did not arrive until after the fire
was extinguished. The fire was caused by
lighted candle being left too near the
woodwork in the attic by one of the ser
wants.
The loss to Mrs. Mitchell, as estimated
last evening, is about 81, 500, covered by
insurance. Had it not been for the prompt
work of tho students and neighbors the
loss would have been much greater. The
house and furniture are drenched with
water. Mrs. Mitchell removed to the New
Haven house until the house can be reno
waited.
The house, owned by DR.. T. H. Russell, lis
alarge double structure of brick, Mrs.
M1tchell's part fronting on Trumbull street
and the other hall, occupied by Lawyer
John K. Beach, fronting on Temple street.
This side was not touched by ths are o.
water.
