Orexon Short Line.

Boston-The committee representing the holders of the Ave per cent. con sols and the five per cent, collateral trust bonds of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway Co. make important announcement to the bond holders urging the immediate deposit of all Bonds for engraved negotiable receipts, which are now ready to issue. They say:
 'The receivers of the Union Pacific system have applied to the court to be relieved from the obligations of the traffic agreement between the Union Pacific Go. and the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway Co.,, which Is the only bond between the two companies, and 1t is probable that their application will be granted. In these circumstances 1t is very impor- tant to secure united action by all the bondholders to protect their interests, and to have them represented by an independent committee"
 Holders can deposit their bonds with the American Loan and Trust Co.,, Boston, and the New York Guaranty and Indemnity Co.,. New York. Appli- cation will be made to list the negotia- ble receipts on the New York Stock Exchange.

course, and continued onward in an unswerving north course. It was about i've o'clock that the cloud passed.
 That evening noticed a number of rSddish winged wood ants about on ihe grass and in the roads, IL occurred to me that the strange cloud in motion might have been cloud of these fly- ing ants. The more l pondersd over the phenomenon the more became con- vinced that it was a cloud of ants that passed over the country, Such story was too big for me to tell. although there was proof enough of the fact for my mind. so held my peace and sim ply spoke to my family of tbe strange cloud. Others had seen it, too, yet none suspected what 1t was, and we finally dismissed it.
 "A day or two afterwari l was in Consta bleville and there the farmers told me they had seen the same thing. there was no doubt about it either. for n number of them watched the cloud and at that place 1t passed 30 low that they caught the insects in their hands. They were the same flying ants. We compared notes and found that 1t re- quired just an hour for the swarm to move from the place where they were first seen to Constablevillc. The dis tance In a straight line is thirty-one miles They were in Oneida county at five o'clock and at just six o'clock they were seen In the north. The ants con tinued northward and nobody has told me where they stopped"

 Both the up and down morning pas senger trains were delayed here yes terday half hour by a freight train in front of the edge tool shop, two of whose cars jumped the track while the freight engine No. 27 was backing on to a siding, and thus blocking the main track. An end truck of a box and also flat car were off the rails, but there was no other damage. The work of getting them back on the track was watched by good sized crowd.
 There has been some correspondence between railroad officials and the au- thorities here with regard to locomo- tive whisthng in the borough, and the railroad officials are to order the engi- neers to blow their whistles in sub- dued way. The Southington warden does not care, nor do the people of the borough care any more than do the peo- pie of New Haven, how loud the whis- ting is if it is absolutely necessary to protect life, but if it is not necessary then let the blowing be low and full instead of loud and shrill. ..

 It is stated that the Electric Tram way Co. wants three thousand dol lars for lighting streets, and that. the borough is willing to pay $2.S0o. The difference, s2oO, will prevent the eighty additional lights being put up. This matter we hope will be adjusted so as to have the lights ir running order this winter. r,

M. c, A., have just fe- turned from the annual physical di- rector's conference held August 3i to September 6. inclusive. at Springfield There were about thirty physical di- rectors present, and the meetings were presided over by Dr. Luther Gulick. superintendent of the physical direc- tors department at the Springfieid Training school The meetings were held in the new gymnasium. The ses- sions were held In the morning and practical work was done in the after noon.
 The Y. M. c. A. Athletic League of North America was organized and the physical directors also united under a physical directors compact. This Will promote uniformity In the work. There will be common ground of class work.
 The following ten events were select ed for the indoor test: Free work, dumb-bells. parallel bars. side horse, horizontal bar potato race, standing broad jump, high jump, long horse and pole vault. A new system of scoring by points has been adopted which will undoubt- edly meet with great success. A min mum and a maximum record Is estab- lished for each event brought under the new system, and a man may make from one to one hundred points, accord ing to his record. For instance. take the running broad jump. The mini mum Is eleven feet eight inches and the maximum twenty feet. It will be seen there Is a distance of one hundred inches between the minimum and the maximum. Suppose man jumps elev- en feet nine inches, he scores one point. If he jumps sixteen feet eight inches, he scores sixty points. If he jumps twenty feet he scores one hundred points; If he jumps twenty feet six inch es, he scores one hundred and six points, and so on. With this explana- ton the following table will be perfect ly clear:

HARTFORD JEWELLERS UNITE
At an Important Meeting Held There-A
 Similar Meeting to be Held Here.

Similar Meeting to be Held Here.
 A large and representative meeting of the jewelry trade of Hartford was held the United States hotel last Fridey evening to hear MT. Newton Dexter of New York state. The Hartford Times says: "They were well repaid for at- tending, as MT. Dexter proved himself a forcible and interesting speaker and portrayed the abuses that pirate upon the jewelry trade of the country. He showed. the great benefit the jeweler and the purchaser as we'll would derive by the passage of national law that would make it misdemeanor for any manufacturer to stamp his goods a higher karat or pennyweight than they really were. He asserted that the pub lie to-day had no protection from un- scrupulous dealers who palmed off through peddlers auction stores and other channels, false goods. It was the unanimous opinion of all the jewellers present that the sooner such a law was placed upon the statute books the bet ter for all concerned. MT. Dexter showed how he had purchased in cloth ing stores watches for $9.9S and that the dealers had advertised that jewellers would charge for the same article from $25 to $35." Other statements in the line were made by MT. Dexter and the meeting unanimously resolved to or ganize a permanent association to fur ther the cause represented by MT. Dex- ter. MT. Dexter in pursuance of his la lbors is to visit New Haven, and meet ing of New Haven jewellers is to be held tomorrow evening at the store of c. M. Parker, S1O Chapel street, to. consider the alleged abuses, and it appears quite evident that action will be taken simi- lar to that of the jewellers of Hartford. MT. Dexter said in an interview Satur- day night that these associations were not to combine upon prices or anything else, but simply for just and legitimate protection of themselves and the public. As the matter now stood the public are not protected from impostors at all. The stamp marks on goods were no guarantee at all except as they came from respectable, honest dealers MT. Dexter illustrated with many examples of how the public are deceived and gulled by peddlers and at auctions. He anticipates meeting with the same success here he has met with in many cities. He is very estimable man and is a near connection of one of our old and esteemed New Haven fa an,ilias

 From the Utica otserver.l
 While driving home from Oneida last Friday" said farmer who lives in the extreme western part of the country, T saw big cloud moving due north over the fields and woods. There wasn't any wind blowing, the air was still, and was unable to ac- count for the presence of big dark cloud speeding away across the heav- ems on such still, bright day. s-e-
 At first I thought that 1t was a cloud of smoke from the railroads, but then when first saw 1t the cloud was In such a position that it could not possibly have come from the West Shore railroad, and even if it had there never was a cloud of smoke that hung so closely together and so long as that did. As sat in my wagon it appeared to me to be a mile long and perhaps half a mile wide, but. of course, that part of it was all speculation, for no one can make very accurate guess of the size of cloud. The body in the sky was as daSk as the smoke from a locomotive, and looked to be quite dense. It travelled quicker than any cloud ever scudded before. . thunder shower in this section.

 Chicago, Sept. 23.-The Distilling and Cattle Feeding company filed protests yesterday at revenue offices in Chicago and Peoria against the new tariff laws provision for increased bonds, which the distillers are compelled to give to secure the payment of the tax on the spirits bonded before the new law went into effect. Distillers were under bonds to the full amount of the whis- key in the warehouses at ninety cents gallon. The renewal of thetbonds was necessary at the rate of $1.10.
 With the protest new bonds for the whiskey in bond at Chicago were yes- terday filed by H. s. Taylor, assistant general manager for the Distilling ,com- pany here. The protest takes the posi- ton that when the whiskey was made and put in bond there was an implied contract with the government at the ninety-cent rate. ,. .-...

Burr, the editor of the Hart ford Times. appeared before the dele gation and made powerful plea for the delegates to support Lieutenant Cover nor Cady for governor. There was a good deal of opposition to the proposi- tion to pledge the delegates to MT. Cady and a vote was taken which showed that not over three of the Hartford delegation were in favor of the lieuten- ant governor. The delegation finally voted in favor of supporting Judge Beardsley of Bridgeport for governor. In view of the vote the report gained circulation that by Monday Mir. Cady would withdraw from the gubernatorial race.

Like many other things, an alarm
clock is a good thing when confined to
its own sphere. But young man who
lives in Tioga had an experience with
one the other day which, to say the
least. was embarrassing. Being a heavy
sleeper. it was not uncommon for him
to miss his train to the city in the
morning, so he resolved to invest in an
alarm clock. One experience with it was
enough, and that occurred while be was
taking his purchase home. Walking
through the train, he CHANGED to see a
certain young lady sitting in seat, the
other half of which was unoccupied.
The young man knew the young lady
in fact, he is said to have had enter
tanned serious hopes before the alarm
got in its little work. He sat down be-
side her, with his package in his lap,
and smiled his sweetest. She asked him
what he was taking home, and he play
fully bid her guess. Candy? Cigars!
Neckties?" No, it was none of these.
Just as she was about to venture a
fourth guess there was muffled sound
from the interior of the pacakge and
then loud clang that resounded weird
