That Consolidation OF Several
Trains on the Consolidated Road
Went Into Effect Yesterday.
The white train or "ghost" train leaves
New York and Boston at p. m. Begin
ming yesterday the Shore Line express
which has been leaving New York and Bos-
tom at p. m. started one hour later, and
was consolidated between New York and
this city. At the Union depot late yester-
day afternoon upon the arrival of this train
the Shore Line section was divided and run
over that line as usual, while the New EGG
land road section went up the Air Line as
usual. On the run from Boston the two
sections were consolidated here and run &c
New York solid.
The other day expresses consolidated
were the two trains leaving New York anc
Boston at noon, one via Hartford and ths
New England road, the other via Spring
| field. In this case the solid train from
| New York was divided in the afternoon q
+, Hartford and the trains from Boston wer,
united at Hartford and run to New Yorl
/ as one train.
| Both owl trains are also now run as
solid train instead of in two sections eacl
ss hitherto, each train now consisting o
sleeping cars, mail, express and sitting n
coaches, instead of divided as formerl
when the sleeping section ran separate
The other minor changes have been re
ferred to. The company, however, does nc
propose to discharge the ten engineers an
the ten fremen who will be without train
The plan is to cut down the running tim
each week of all the men, 30 that the ts
engineers and the ten fremen can be n
tanned.
The consolidation of all these train
will save mileage of 800 miles per ds
and cut down the expenses of the roa
| materially.

moment Commissioner Maley put In his
fret appearance and Commissioner States
again put the motion, saying that the vote
was doubted To this proceeding Mr..

adjourn, but Commissioner States refused
to entertain his motion and put the motion

said: "It Is plain to be seen that election
Is drawing near, and come members of the
board desire 20 furnish employment to the

streets. In my mind the action of Com
missioner States was cles-ly illegal. In the

of the board, and in nay opinion had no
legal right to dissolve q tie by voting
twice, as he did in the first instance. Had
Mr.. States been the president of the board
1t might have made difference. do moi
believe that the action was legal and am
of the opinion that the city will not &c
ahead and clean the streets on any such
doubtful authority. Commissioner John
son doubted the legality of the vote, MOI
the vote itself. and In consequence it wal
clearly unparlismentary for Commissions
States to again put the motion when Com
missioner Msley came into the room"

The Platform OF the Independent
Labor Party Adopted - Soeialistic
speech by Frank M. Gessner-Candi.
e. dates for Various Political Offices to
Re Nominated Thursday Evening.
About 800 persons were present at the
meeting of the Central Labor union at Au-
rora hall last evening. It was expected
that John e. Fitzgerald would preside, but
he was absent in Meriden, and in conse-
quence Joseph J. Nett presided. The prin-
cipal business of the evening was the con-
alteration and adoption of the platform
as promulgated by the independent labor
party, and also to listen to an address by
Frank q. Gessner of Pittsburg, Pa.
During the course of his speech Mr..
Gessnsr strongly advocated unionism, and
claimed that all union men should break
away from all political parties and ally
themselves only to the party of socialism
and should thus become the conservative
members of the genuine socialistic party.
The platform, he said, WAS not sufficiently
| radical.
Some of the members present did not
| evidently relish Mr.. Gessner's plain social
| istic harangue, while to others 1t was all

| Guided his remarks the union voted to &C.
capt the platform in it's entirety, although
some of the socialistically inclined mem
bers voted against Its adoption.
| The recent school meeting was also loud

of the board OF educetion. It was also de.
cided to hold csncus of the Independent
labor party in Aurora hall Thursday even

m1LFoRD,s TOWN MEETING.

That Twenty MILL Tax Abrogated-
sixteen Mills Substituted-The Com
solidated Road Gives the Town
Five Thousand Dollars to Build
the Bridge.
MILFORD, Nov. 20.-The special town
meeting held in the town hall was one of
the largest in some time and attracted
great attention to-day. It was called to
order this morning at 10 O'Clock by Charles
Tomlinson. The matter of yeeonsidering
the vote taken at the last meeting, aging a
20 mill tax, was taken up and as question
of the legality of such vote was raised 1t
was agreed to postposs action until this
afternoon and look up the law on the
point. The question concerning the new
bridge over Indian river near the railroad
then came up, and as a message was re-
ceived from New Haven asking that the
matter be deferred until this afternoon
that the proposition of the railroad might
be properly presented, 1t was voted to lie,
| that also go over until this afternoon
| When the meeting resssembled at O'CLOCK
the committee appointed to look up thu
| law concerning the taxes reported
that the change could be made, and it wa
accordingly voted to reconsider the actor
of the previous meeting and lay tax of II
mills. A proposition from the railroad
company was then presented in which tn
road agreed to give the town So, 600 If i
would build the bridge. The proposition
was accepted, though not without some op
position. A new bridge is made neoessar.
by reason of the four-trscking improve
ments which the railroad is making, ant
the road agreed to pay for 1t, but there wa
some question as to where it should b
placed and whether or not the town SHOULD
have charge of the work.
