Those who suffer from headaches and

RAILROAD MATTERS.

Professor Hadley Says the Men Who Made
the Reading Combine Are Robbers.
Professor Arthur T. Hadley of Yale,
who is a famous authority on railroad
economics, took occasion in his lecture
in the mechanics course at North Sheffield
hall last evening, ton the subject "Busi-
ness Methods and Morals" to give his
opinion of the Reading coal Combine
in very strong language. The professor
referred to the railroad magnates who
brought about and controlled this deal
as highway robbers, and expressed a
hope that law can be passed to con-
troll trusts and combines.
The work of widening the New York
& New England roadbed for double

GENERAL kELLoee's MEASURE.
A Bill Providing For q Popular Vote oil
the Water Question.

A Bill Providing For a Popular Vote on
the Water Question.
A large number from Waterbury at
tended the hearing, before the commit
tee on cities and boroughs yesterday,
upon the bill giving Waterbury power
to issue $500, 900 water bonds. General
S. w. Kellogg, who was the first
ment to the bill and made an able argu-
ment in favor of the measure:
Sec. The question whether the city of
Waterbury shall obtain its supply of
water now needed from sources easterly
or westerly of the city, shall be SUBJ
M tilted to the legal voters of said city at
meeting to be warned and held for
that purpose on the call of the mayor of
said city.
Said meeting shall be conducted in
the same manner as other elections in
other officers are conducted.
Sec. The court of common council of
said city shall provide a suitable num-
Der of ballots on which shall be printed
the word "Easterly," and a suitable
number also on which the word
"Westerly" shall be printed. The polls
shall be opened and closed at the same
hours in the day at which they are
opened and closed on the days for elect
ing the mayor and other city officers.
Sec. If majority Of the ballots cast
at said meeting shall contain the WORD
easterly, then the city shall obtain it,
supply from the sources easterly of sale
city, and if a majority of the ballots
cast shall contain the word westerly
then said city shall obtain its supply Of
water from the sources westerly of sale
city.
Sec. The board of water commits
sioners of the city of Waterbury shall
forthwith adopt and proceed TO carry
out the vote Of the electors at said meet
ing and procure the water supply from
the sources in conformity with sale
vote, when the same shall be declared
4 And no action will be taken by saiS
board of water commissioners for pro
curing a further supply of water TO
said city, until the question as to wher,
the supply shall be taken, shall be de
termined by vote of the electors of tn
city as aforesaid.
Sec. This act will take effect from it
passage.
Judge John w. Webster followed an,
showed by the reports of Enginee
Herring and Professor Smith that tn
eastern source would provide NOR
water and of better quality than the Ho]
brook. He scored the water board ant
: declared that the Mad river and it
) tributaries could supply both the cit!
and the manufacturers.
u Councilman Fitzpatrick also spoke il
favor of the Mad river supply. II
favored deciding the matter by popula
vote, and commended that the action o
the council in voting for the western
supply was contrary to the best judg
ment of most of the members, and wa
taken because of the attitude of tn
water board.
1 Those who favored the issuance O
bonds according to the bill introduce
r were: Mayor Webster, City Attorne
r Burpee, Earl A. Smith for the Amer
can Mills company, John P. Elton 70
) the Waterbury Brass company, Alder
! man Cross, Jay II. Hart, ]. RIchar
