somc of It's Effects Connecticut
 Railroads. .-s -z--f
 A New Haven dispatch to the New York Evening Post says: -..-.
 ..The withdrawal by the Consolidated company of local passer ger trains at the upper end of the Northampton division and between Waterbury and Naugatuck on the Naugatuck division is the precursor of other similar changes that will come as the rapid construction of electric roads goes on in this state. In the case of the Wa terbury- Naugatuck train withdrew on sc- count of the new trolley line between those places, that train after tho trolley line was established, sometimes made the trip without a single passenger. The New England roads traffic east and west near Hartford is also certain to be hurt by the new trolley lines operated in that region. The first suggestion made and discussed by the Consolidated company's managers was that this new competition on branch lines should be met by a cheap trolley equipment of the steam road between the | places subject to competition. This was 1 declared few months ago by President Clark to be perfectly feasible. At a later meeting of officers, however, it was decided that the fixed policy if the company fol the present would be simply to withdraw local trains where seriously affected by electric competition and leave the held tG the electric companies. and that Is th' company's policy now. The officers sa! that the loss is trifling where trains ar' strictly local and of suburban character between two points. But, in the case O way trains. with thelr high local fares ant touching at several stations, the loss I likely to be considerable if the presen rapid development of electric roads con tinues The Consolidated company hopes however. to make good in whole or Tn parl from lateral electric lines. the losses sui fered from the parallels. which is the frs forms that many of the trolley lines in thi section of the state.
 There is likely to be in the next ligisla ture considerable controversy between tn steam and trolley companies. especial, over the question of grade crossing' which has already given rise to sewers bitter contests.
 The business revival Is shown by tn increase of traffic on the New Haven sy' tenn. The through passenger traffic b' tween New Ycrk and Boston for Septen Der is about 12 per cent ahead of Septen Der of last year. Tbe local freight bus ness is also picking up. and its further il crease is indicated by large shipments ( coal by rail.

 r. at the Age Of 95.
 Fenton Phelan of S2 Ridge street, the oldest man h Waterbury and one of the best known Irish residents, dIed at ? o'clok this morning of the infirmIties of age. The deceased was born Tn Ireland in 1797 and came to Waterbury forty-five years ago. He was an honest, industrious citizen and for man of his advanced years was wonderfully well pre- served, being in full possession of all his faculties until about two weeks before his 1 death. He had wonderfully retentive memory and could tell some interesting stories of the stirring scenes which took place in his native country during the time of his boyhood. He was six years of age at the time of the execution of the patriot,
 Robert Emmet, and could tell more of the
 checkered history of Ireland for the first
 halt of the nineteenth century than can be found in some of the standard histories } of that period. He leaves one son and three daughters, Patrick Phelan of Dublin street. Mrs Mary Egan of Bergin street, Mar Elizabeth Kilbride of West Main
 street and Mrs Sarah Bowling of Ridge
 street: The funeral will take place or Sunday afternoon with services at St Pat rick's church and interment in St Joseph cemetery.

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1894-08-08
Manager of The Shoe Store.

In this world of mind and matter the
great law of nature is growth or decay.
Everything is subject to this great law.
Man, that mysterious link in being S end
less chains, must pay homage to its
inevitability. Dormancy in the material
or immaterial world is the forerunner of
ruin, and destruction. Energy and per-
severance is the only lubricant adapted
to the axle upon which revolves the
wheel of any trade, avOcation or calling.
If we would do well in life, if we would
be peer among men, if we would be
criterion, pointed to as an object of adj
miration, then we must use this lubricant
energy and perseverance, freely.
Dawson has within its confines men
who are noted for the use of this lubri-
cant, and in this article we make special
note of one as an eXample-Mr. W. G.
Kimt rough, manager of the Shoe Store.
This young man, who, by tact and en-
ergy, has acquired the position of man
ager, as we'll as partner, in this enter
prising business was born and reared in
Putnam countyl farmer boy. Mr..
Kimbrough came to DawsonI about year
ago, a and short while afterwards bought
an interest and became manager of the
Shoe Store By close attention to bust
ness and by skillfulness in buying he has
reduced the price of shoes and hats in
Dawson nearly 25 per cent.
If you want a beautiful crayOn or a
water colored portrait of relative,
friend, or even of your sweetheart,
then make purchase of $500 from The
Shoe Store and receive this present
free. Being an extensive buyer and hav-
ing large trade, and dealing exclusively
in shoes and hats, they can necessarily
make it to your advantage to trade with
them. For instance, ladies' dongolas at
IS cents, cost you elsewhere $1.00. Hats
at 81 90 which will cost you elsewhere
$3.50. The Shoe Storei situated in Bald
win s. block and if you want to be treated
pleasantly and get the best quality of
goods for the leastmoney:it is the place
to receive your patronage. Mr.. Kim
brough will always be found at his place
OF business, and earnestly requests the
patr onage of the public.
